Mission Impossible by Alysia Gallihugh With five year old uniforms, did the cheerleaders give up? No, sir! School spirit at an all time low. Did the cheerleaders give up? No, sir! Their job was to support their teams and represent their school. Did they complete their duties? Yes, sir! During the homecoming as- sembly put on by the football cheerleaders, the players stood at attention with their candles held high, symbolic of the assembly's theme, The Olympic year. The homecoming assembly was one of the three pep assemblies the cheerleaders presented during the year. The assemblies inspired the crowd and showed the players we cared, said varsity cheer- leader Shawn Jenison. The cheerleaders worked hard, practicing three days a week, two hours a day and some Saturdays. Did it pay off? Did coach Cindy Wright push hard enough? The crowd responded more to us this year because we improved our abilities and we worked hard practices to accomplish what we did, said varsity cheerleader. Barb Rines. The varsity cheerleading squad went a long way and the results showed. During the year they got a little bit of recognition they so much deserved. There were a few other squads too, like the football and junior varsity cheerleaders. Did you ever wonder who did all that work behind the scenes during football season? Why, it was cheerleaders! When I was sitting there watching the squad at competition, I wanted to just go down there and cheer. Barb Rines The football cheerleaders had a rough season due to the team re- cord but they made it through all the cold Friday night games and gave the team their all. I really like cheering for foot- ball because the crowd was al- ways enthusiastic, said cheer- leader Amy Jenkins. The j.v. cheerleaders were a young squad but they worked with the varsity squad often. By the end of the season they went farther than anyone every thought they could accomplish. At the beginning of the sea- son I didn't think we looked very good, but as things went on we improved our skills, said j.v. cheerleader Lisa Deyarmond. By the end of the season our cheers were together and we looked more like a squad. I was proud of each and every one of them, said Coach Cindy Wright, I wasn't ashamed to say, that's my squad.
