The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Pope Ten Nyssa School Girls Report Logan Workshop Activities By Ruth McGinley An article in last week’s is­ sue of this paper on the cheer­ leading and drill-team clinic held recently in Logan, Utah, brought about a casual interview with the girls who attended from Nyssa. The idea was to get their reaction to the clinic and to see if they felt it was worth the time, effort and work they had to do, to enable them to attend. Each girl was asked to give a spontanious answer to the question, “What did you think about the clinic?” Naturally, each girl had a different reac­ tion but all had a real honest feeling of teamwork. The overall feeling expressed by the girls was that, this not only makes a better cheer leading squad, but also a better school feeling; for many times, one group of students, who are enthusiastic and full of real loyality to a school, influences the school far more than even they can realize at the time. Drill - team captain Ja­ nice Church said, “The drill team camp was a lot of fun. There was so much to learn and do. We learned between five and six new routines and how to give the commands for close-order drills. Everyone got to know lots of new people and had a great time. We got ideas for outfits and how to take care of the problems that come up. The instructors were really good and helped all of us.” Nancy Jackson and Patty Mc­ Ginley attended the clinic forthe second year, and both said they felt the spirit shown this year was terrific. BobSchields, head director, told this year’s group that of the 190 clinics held this year, this group was the most pontanious and high-spirited. Patty’s remarks were, "The cheerleading workshop was fun as well as educational. Our four-day stay on campus at Lo­ gan's "Utah State University’’ was really jam-packed with lec­ tures, tumbling and other cheerleading classes. Everyday, we would learn four to six yells, plus a munlier of chants, skits and pointers on being better cheerleaders and in directing the crowd. All 5 cheerleaders and 1 drill captain stayed in rooms at Ri­ chard's hall. This way, we really got to know each other well and we shared out ideas m helping promote spirit in our school. The spirit and enthu­ siasm al this clinic was fabu­ lous and we intend to bring this much spirit back Imine with us. As cheerleaders, we feel we are sometimes shut out, and often, lor our hard work, we go iinlhanked. At cheerleader’s < amp we gained more confidence in ourselves, we liecame deter­ mined to do our best, not only in just ourselves supporting our team, but more in control­ ling and directing thecrowdand to be more sportsni.'iilike. Camp taught us that although cheerleaders seem to lie insig­ nificant, we serve a purpose lor our community -- andthis we take with great pride.” Nancy's comments were, “There are so many absolutely great things alxmt a week at cheerleading school, but this ven was really outstanding, may 1» its because the four other cheerleaders were so much fun to lie with or liecause the in­ structors made a lot of work into a lot of fun. Whatever the reasons, we all had a good time. Every night after a day of classes each cheerleading squad *-’s exfieeted toperform in front of a group of judges and the rest o| the cheerleaders. We were graded on our performance anil shown our mistakes. He received a white riblKm for out­ standing abilities the first night, an honorable mention, (not too good) the second night, and a white ribbon again the third night. On the fourth night we received a blue ribbon which signified superiot in compe­ tition. I suppose it was liecause we put everything into it and made it fun with a lot of spirit on the side. I think we are all bringing back a lot of spirit. W. want to do our part to keep the spirit of NHS alive“’ Lora Bair told us -- 'W> found out what spirit was and how to get it. We learned a lot of chants and veils to bring back. The food was great!! We had a chance to participate with cheerleaders of other schools and we saw how impor­ tant it was to work together and have the right spirit while doing a yell. We hoj» wi < m have all the spirit and enthu- siam at school that we saw there.” Nancy Bale liked meeting cheerleaders from some of the other areas. One of the things she enjoyed most was going to bed at the end of each day. She stated that it felt so good to be able to relax all of her sore muscles. The girls and spon­ sors went to the Lagoon in Salt Lake City on their return home and enjoyed that, despite the bruises and floor burns from the fun house. She said, “The other girls really made the trip a success. They are all great and I’m very glad I had the op­ portunity to make the trip with them.” This was Jan Saito’s first clinic and she made the following statements: “I think that being a cheerleader is really a great honor and going to cheerleading school made it an even greater honor, besides giving us all a great time and fun experience. I think that probably the best part of the trip was getting to know the girls in our own group personally and working together as a team. We had evaluation every night where we performed a yell that we learned that day, and also one of our own. This part of the day was probably the most valuable for it was here that we were tested on accuracy in the yell, poise, personality, and all around performance. Although I was always nervous during this part, it gradually became more fun and our squad did very well in my opinion. The lecturers that we had were all very good and we picked up quite a few good ideas for pep assemblys, crowd con­ trol, and promoting spirit. The spirit of the poeple at the school was just terrific. I can’t begin to describe the amount of enthusiasm there was during the camp. It was con­ tagious! The camp ended Thursday, after four days of hard work and lots of learning. Our advisor, Miss Reece, then took us all to Salt LakeCity where we spent one night, went shopping in the morning and had fun.
