Cheerleader Selection
Plans Are Discussed
(By Bruce A. Humphries)
Three plans of selecting G.H.S.
cheerleaders for the 1951-52 school
year were submitted to the student
body at an assembly held on March
14. Caleb Maddox, Bobby Jean
Thompson, and Sara Thompson pre
sented these plans to the student
body. These plans were similar in
that they all stated that tryouts
should be held before elections.
Caleb Maddox’s plan stated that
all wishing to be cheerleaders try
out before the student body, after
learning four yells from the pres
ent head. Ten of these would be
chosen by secret ballot and those
chosen would elect a head cheer
leader among them. He would ap
point his assistant.
The second plan, submitted by
Bobby Jean Thompson, was as fol
lows: Tryouts would be held before
the present cheering squad, faculty,
and outsiders. Eliminations would
be held and the squad would elect
their own head and co-head. Fresh
men would not be eligible for this
squad. This would compose the var
sity squad. A Jayvee squad would
be elected from the freshman and
sophomore classes. This squad
would be elected in the same way.
Sara Thompson, head of the
1950-51 cheering squad, presented
the third plan. Tryouts would be
held for all interested in being on
the squad. Then tryouts would be
held before the present cheering

Linwood Harrell, former head
cheerleader at Wake Forest. Three
boys and three girls from each class
would be chosen to be voted upon
by the S.A.
Questions were asked after each
plan and new proposals were made.
In the past, cheereleaders and
head cheerleaders have eben elect
ed, with omission of tryouts.
The second meeting concerning
the election of cheerleaders was
held Wednesday, March 21,
A plan which had six points that
had been voted on by the council
was brought before the student bo
dy, One of the points of the sub
mitted plan stated that the ten
cheerleaders would consist of five
boys and five girlrs. However, the
point was brought out that if only
five boys tried out for cheerelader,
they would be picked regardless of
whether they were good or not.
Much discussion was held on hav
ing an all-girl squad.
During this meeting a special
council was called to vote on wheth
er the clause in the six-point plan
calling for five boys on the squad
would be removed. In this meet
ing, only a discussion was held and
nothing was voted on. Time ran

vote on the matter.
