J.V. Pep Squad The Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad may have been small in number with only seven girls for the 1978-79 school year, but what they lack in size they made up for in spirit and volume. In addition to cheering at the Junior Varsity football games each Thursday afternoon, the girls sold programs at all home varsity football games and cheered at pep rallies during the season. Their fall fund-raising project—pom-pom sales—helped everyone at Wilson display their colors proudly, and the J.V. Cheerleaders also showed their school spirit by decorating a truck which participated in the Homecoming motorcade to Lawerence Stadium. Winter activities included cheering for J.V. basket- ball games and wrestling matches. J.V. cheerleaders Carolyn Klise and Sharon Montague sell programs at a football game.

The cheer- leaders, under the supervision of Mrs. Debbie Faul- ky, got their first taste of a pep rally during orient- ation. Endless hours of making signs and tags, and practicing cheers were spent after school by these twelve girls. The cheerleaders, under their captain June Sher- rod, spent just about every Saturday during the sum- mer at some gas station sponsering a car wash. As a result, enough money was raised to buy new uni- forms. They also sold jewelery, homecoming flowers, and Wilson pins to help raise money for jackets.
