New Squad Adds Depth to Spirit Groups T he school year brought with it several changes in Harding Academy's cheerleading tradi tion. This year two senior high cheerleading squads, football and basketball, were put on a trial-run. These changes were made to give more girls an opportunity to be involved in extracurricular activities and to give some of the cheerleaders a chance to participate in spring sports. Also each squad was increased to ten members instead of the usual nine. During the summer both squads attended cheerleading camps. The football cheerleaders went to David Lipscomb Camp while the basketball cheerleaders attended the Freed-Hardeman Camp. Each received a rating of "Outstanding Squad". Two major changes for the junior high cheerleading squad have occurred this year. First of all the squad gained two members to increase the number to eleven instead of nine. This required a big adjustment from the usual way of doing things. It called for bigger pyramids and even more cooperation. Secondly, Mrs. Seagert served as the cheerleaders' new sponsor. The pep club helped boost the school's spirit by providing run-throughs for each game. Also, pep club was in charge of homecoming activities. Officers for this year were Kelley Vaughn, President; Miko ~ugisawa, VicePresident; Monya Martin, SecretaryTreasurer; and Tara Buss, Reporter.<) Pep Club. Front row: C. O'Neal, D. Hendon, K.
