Tough wo kouts help squads lt was not considered an activity or a club but a part of the athletic program. Cheerleading was classified as a sport. We practiced regularly and they were hard condi- tioning practices, not just yelling and clapping. Tim- ing and unity were impor- tant, but good physical con- dition was a necessity, said Kelly Mc Fadden, ju- nior. With the only planned as- sembly in the fall held dur- ing Homecoming, the cre- ativity of the cheerleaders could not be shown as in skits of the past. Emphasis had to be placed on the cheers and pyramids that were done at the football and basketball games. lt was a let dovim having only two assemblies be- cause performing in them was one of the best aspects of cheerleading. Also they were the only time to cheer in front of the entire school, said Missy Beattie, senior. The fall cheerleaders tried out in November for the winter squad. There were five retuming varsity cheerleaders to this squad. Being one of those five re- tuming cheerleaders was a great feeling. lt was the har- dest tryout I have ever been in, said Kytyra Marshall, senior. Although some of the faces changed, the purpose remained the same. Both fall and winter squads sup- ported the teams and led the spirit. i i , tv ' e 1 'KA ' 4' i B Cheerleaders 141
