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.
There are lots and lots of
