Inspiring the crowd Cheerleaders, an inspiration to the Weld Central fan club. This year the 1984-’85 fall and winter squads did a nice job in getting good crowd spirit and giving support to the teams. The cheerleaders this year worked hard for perfection. They held practice during the nights which no games were held. They showed even more spirit by making posters for all the teams. The sponsors for this year were Mr. Haynie and Mrs. Virkler. It went well, I see some improvements for next year, said Mrs. Virkler. Mr. Haynie agreed with Mrs. Virkler about the improvements for next year. He also seemed pleased with the season and the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders also did a good job performing the routines since there was no pom squad this year. There was only one senior on the squad this year and that was Shelly Branham. She seemed pleased with the crowd spirit this year. The crowd was really supportive during the games and it really helped us out a lot. Senior Shelly Branham yells her loudest for the Rebels. 112 Cheerleaders
