Cheerleaders - team behind the team WHS cheerleaders showed enthusiasm and spirit by conducting rallies and leading the pep club at all games. Three squads of cheerleaders were chosen for the first time at WHS. In addition to varsity and reserve cheerleaders, four girls were picked to handle the duties at wrestling matches. This helped relieve the pressure during the hectic winter months. The fourteen girls tried new “boosters ’ throughout the year. Ideas included boot and warrior day as well as new cheers and chants. Practicing takes a lot of time for varsity cheerleaders. Odetta Christensen. Anne Graff, Debbie Christensen. Tracy Christensen. Wendy Barry, and Susan Hansen. Debbie Laudenback. Nancy Stewart. Rhonda Hass, and Patti Lindley lead the pep club in “Extra Special Team during a reserve game. Reserve cheerleaders perform their '’Dynamo' cheer during a weekly rally
