Back Row: Cheryl Lowther, Sherry Hauschild. Cheerleaders put forth a great deal of time and effort to promote school spirit and cheer on the athletes. At the football games, wrestling meets, and basketball games the girls were always behind the players supporting them even when the team was losing. This year the cheerleaders were busy with many different activities along with cheering at the many sports events. The football cheerleaders started out the season by attending a camp at Lake Okoboji. They learned many new cheers and got some ideas for pep assemblies. Throughout the school year, Varsity Style the cheerleaders got to put some of their ideas to use. Some of the pep assembly activities were competition cheers between classes, relay races, short contests between athletes, and encouraging wo r ds f r om t he coaches. The girls also sold Spirit Towels and buttons to promote school spirit. The money made from these sales went towards paper supplies which were used to make posters and tee-pee the athletes' houses. The cheerleaders didn't always make posters and cheer at games. They practiced, too. During a sports season they would practice three to four hours a week. A lot of hard work went into cheerleading, yet it was fun being in the organization. The girls did a super job in promoting school spirit and encouraging the teams this year. Gee, Robert, I wish I could cheer as good as that girl over there. Above: Joel Thompson and Robert Christen. Right: Oertel and Crisman are all wrapped up.
