PEP SQUAD Buitns Although they are not usually in the limelight, Pep Squad is the backbone of the Cougarette organization. These one hundred and twenty three spirited girls, under the direction of the top officers, whole-heartedly cheered the Cougars on with only sore throats and ringing ears to show for it. As said by freshman Meredith Mangum, Even though cheering at the games was hard at first, it was really ex- citing experience. This year the girls were able to perform at three football games, including the uni- que Halloween half-time show when the girls performed to Michael Jackson's Thriller , all decked out for the occasion in witches hats and brooms. The Pep Squad's duties of making posters, decorating the halls, and suppor- ting the Cougars kept them busy all year Pep Squad was a real learning ex- perience.
