If you go to any of the Butte Falls Loggers Football or basketball games this is one of the many cheers that you will hear. Cheerleading, the mystery program. Club, Sport, or Activity? What do you think it is? Well, I went around the school and asked a few people some questions about cheerleading at BFHS. Senior Aaron Shaw thought the cheerlead ers would do "Pretty good" this year. Senior David Hoel said, "I think they will be inspirational lead ers for all the sports teams. They will help lead us to victory." Junior Ronnie Davis was asked what he thought could help the BFHS cheerleaders be more successful. He said, "I think they do really well, but they could be a little louder." Second year cheerleader Junior Sarah Madden stated," We need to be more organized, and have more cooperation between the people on the squad." When second year cheerleader Junior Kathi St. George was asked what she thought the cheer leaders could do to bring more spirit to the school, she replied, "We need to have more spirit weeks." Senior Cody Kelly was asked the same question, and he responded, "The cheerleaders themselves could have more spirit." When Second year chssr!?ader Sophomore class. This year, however, this is not so. Because of incidents occurring within last year ' s Junior class and the difficulty of recruiting enough help to run the concession stand for the duration ot all t^etcho ’oTBoord who decided that it woe a Student Government problem, and that the Student Government should find a solution. The Student Government then formed a committee taking students from each class to formulate alternative solutions The com mittee, along with help from Student Government Advisor Mr. Bone, decided that it would be better for classes if they started raising money for Prom and their Senior Trip as Freshman. The commit tee created a new schedule for the concession stand that doled out the seasons to the classes based on the amount of money brought in by the season, and the needs of the class. So naturally the Junior class received the season that brought in the most money. The new Concession Stand schedule - stands thus: * The Freshmen run the concession stand for the duration of Baseball/Softball season. * The Sophomores run the concession stand for the duration of Football/Volleyball season. * The Junior class will run the concession stand for the duration of the Basketball season. The Student Government then decided that since the new schedule deprived this year's Juniors of the opportunity of earning enough money, they would be willing to help either by giving them the money they need, or by allowing them to undertake extra fundraisers. Although many students (mostly Juniors and Seniors) believe that this new decision was totally unfair, in the end it will prove to be very beneficial. With the new concession schedule the Junior class will no longer be faced with the stress of trying to raise all of the money they will need in one single year, and it will prepare all of the upcoming classes for their Junior and Senior years. So what was seen as a problem has actually become a solution.
