CHEERLEADERS
For 2 weeks 27 girls from grades 8 to 11 practiced for
cheerleading tryouts which were held May
23.
In order to tryout, each girl had to learn a short
dance, and a cheer. She had to do 3 out
of 4 jumps and make up words and motions
for an original chant.
Each girl could accumulate up to 95 points. The most
important qualities were considered to
be smile, voice, pep, and enthusiasm.
Each of these qualities were worth up
to 10 points. All other areas were worth
8 points each. An extra short dance or
acrobatic move could add 5 points to the
score.

CHEERLEADING
When you come to basketball games this year, are you going to
come to watch a good basketball game or are you going to come to
watch this year�s Mt. Penn cheerleaders? This year�s squad will
be ready to show their spirit with many cheers and dances.
Most of the girls who tried out for the team went to
cheerleading camp over the summer. This was a week�s camp which
was nothing but hard work for the girls. They went on and
cheered to win several awards for their efforts. They won a
plaque for being the outstanding team, a rainbow award for the
pom pom dance, two superior ribbons for individual cheers and
two special ribbons for a certain cheer and dance.
This year�s team is a little different from last year�s
team because it will be only one squad. The squad will be headed
by the four seniors on the team:
Karen Denby,
Kelly
Clark,
Wendy Crow,
and
Missy Ryan.
Not only are the girls going to cheer for all of the
games, but they intend to have a bake sale at every home game.
And to top this all off, the girls will provide entertainment at
half time. |

Let�s Hear it for the
Cheerleaders
The Mount Penn cheerleaders attended camp at East
Stroudsburg College July 27-31. They competed
with many other schools and won numerous awards.
They received a ribbon for a special dance
routine, placed in all evening ribbon
competitions, and were quite honored to receive
the spirit ribbon.
The spirit ribbon was an award in which the counselors
observed all squads closely to see which group
displayed the best spirit. Spirit was determined
both on and off the practice field. In
recognition of the "spirited� group, they were
awarded a spirit ribbon and Shimmy Kitty (a
stuffed animal) for one night, which they could
decorate with their school colors. Mount Penn
decorated Shimmy Kitty with a Mount Penn hat,
buttons, stickers, and orange and black pom pom
strings.
The workshop featured instruction in cheers, chants,
pom pom routines, tumbling, mounts, jumps, and
stunts.
Members of the squad that attended camp are:
Traci Wenger (Co-Cap.)
Sandy Steigerwalt (Co-Cap.)
Missy Becker
Wendy Crow
Karen Denby

WHO�S GOT THE SPIRIT?
Last spring, on May 22, forty-seven girls tried out for
the Mount Penn cheer-leading squad. The judges who
rated the girls expected a lot from them this year.
They emphasized certain basics that they thought
each girl should perform adequately. The judges
marked the performance of each girl in five
categories: Precision, voice, smile, pep, and
overall movements. Girls trying out for cheerleading
were required to perform a dance, three jumps, a
cheer, and a chant made up by each individual. Each
girl could have done an extra stunt of her own
performance to achieve extra points. The following
girls were selected to represent Mount Penn High
School:
