Morehouse Cheerleaders
Cheerleading
make - up
cheerleading
By Edward Williams
Many people often refer to
cheerleading as nothing more than “Rah!
- Rah! - Rah!” and “Go! Team Go!”; but
for the Morehouse Cheerleaders their
calling extends far beyond just voice
projection. Cheerleading for them means
being effective, being devoted, and, most
of all, being competitive amongst other
colleges in the A.U.C., as well as in the
S.I.A.C. division.
According to the (NCA) National
Association, pyramids
75% of a competitive
squad. How gracefully a
squad can build their pyramids, as well as
how much time is involved, are all
combined and calculated to become the
total team’s score in national
cheerleading competitions. So, certainly
the 1982 - 83 Morehouse cheereleaders
have begun taking positive steps towards
cheerleading competition, through the
construction of their most awesome
pyramid called, “Sky high”.
The thirteen member squad
enthusiastically yells the words, “Tigers
don’t stop ’til they reach the top - Tigers
don’t stop!” with all the faith in their
hearts and hope in their voices, as they
build their most difficult pyramid. Fans
and specators all watch in silence and
awe, as the pyramid “sky high” is con
structed all hoping that tragedy will not
strike. After twenty - five seconds of
continuous building, “Sky high” is once
again successfully completed, and the
crowds award a standing ovation.
This year the 1982 - 83 Morehouse
cheerleading squad consists of ten lovely
young ladies, three energeticyoung men,
and two adorable little mascots, all under
the advisement of Ms. Glenda M. Johnson
(former Morehouse Cheerleader). Names
are as follows;
1. Anita Harris, a senior/captain from
Durham, N.C.;
2. Rozalyn McGhee, a senior from
Guam;
3. Rita McGhee, a freshman from
Guam;
4. Cynthia M. Lewis, a sophomore from
Boston, Mass.;
5. Aquilla McIntosh, a sophomore from
Savannah, Ga.;
6. Kaye Cooksey, a junior from Chicago,
III.;
7. Kim Worthem, a sophomore from

Poetry
REPUBLICAN 23rd PSALM
Author Unknown
Reagan is my shepherd, I shall always want.
He maketh me to lie on park benches.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my doubts in the Republican Party.
He guideth me to the path of unemployment for the Party’s sake.
Yea though I walk through the valley of Soup kitchens,
I am still hungry.
I do fear evil for thou art against me.
Thou annointest my income with taxes,
So that my expenses runneth over.
Surely poverty and hard living will follow me all
The days of the Republican Party,
And I shall live in a rented house forever.
5,000 years ago Moses said, “Pack your camel, pick up your shovels,
mount your ass, and I shall lead you to the Promised Land.”
5,000 years later, this is when the present problem started,
Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovel,
light up your Camel, sit on your ass, this is the Promised Land.”
Now with Reagan, he will take your camel, sell your shovel,
kick you in the ass and tell you there is no Promised Land.

With flashin’ eyes and winnin' smiles
They walks th’ Ave-e-nue;
Fine young thangs, they struts they stuff
Down th’ Av-e-nue
An array of color just runs wild
On th’ Av-e-nue;
Mocha, cream, or cafe’ au lait,
Girls all a pretty hue.
They dance th’ Charleston an’ Shimmy, too,
On th’ Av-e-nue;
With shakin’ hips an’ limber thighs,
Down that Av-e-nue.
Flowers they be bloomin’ there
Down on th’ Av-e-nue;
In a cement garden paradise,
On th’ Av-e-nue.

11. Mitchell Smith, a freshman from
Nashville, Tenn.;
12. Eugene Maxwell, a freshman from
Savannah, Ga.;
13. Robbie Scott, a sophomore from
Baltimore, Md.
We certainly wish the Morehouse
cheerleaders much success this year as
well as in the future, and we hope that
they will continue to strive for
cheerleading excellence.

The Time - What Time Is It ?
By Edwin Williams
JHE TIME is a group that has accomplished a feat that no other group has been able to
do; this group has managed to be hot and cool at the same time. The TIME has ealeased
their second album which is entitled WHAT TIME IS IT? This seven member group,
produced by Morris Day and The Starr Company, hails from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
the frigid state that also produced PRINCE
WHAT TIME IS IT? contains six songs that range from love songs to cool danceable
tunes. The songs on the album are WILD AND LOOSE, 777 - 9311, ONE DAY I’M
GONNA BE SOMEBODY, THE WALK, GIGOLOS GET LONELY TOO, I DON’T WANNA
LEAVE YOU.
WILD AND LOOSE is a hot danceable tune about teenage girls that are too hot to trot.
777 - 9311, which receives more airtime than any song on the album, is a song in which a
guy is trying to get a young lady’s telephone number and she is sitting with a guy. She
finally gives him the number and it is none other than 777 - 9311. ONE DAY I'M GONNA
BESOMEBODY isanew wavesongwhichaddsvarietytothealbum. InTHE WALK, with
its thumping bass beat, he bass guitar, lead guitar, drums and keyboards stand out.
GIGOLOS GET LONELY TOO, a slow song with a together beat, talks about the fact that
even though this guy is a gigolo and he always has money it doesn't make him a happy
man. I DON'T WANNA LEAVE YOU, is an upbeat dance tempo cut, but the lyrics are
about a guy that doesn’t want to break up with his girlfriend.
The members of THE TIME are: Morris Day: Lead Vocals. Jimmy Jam: Keyboards and
Vocals. MonteMoir: Keyboards and Vocals. Jellybean Johnson: Drumsand Percussion.
Jessie Johnson: Gutar and Vocals. Stacy Adams, Terry Lewis: Bass, co - Lead and
Background Vocals.
THE TIME have proven themselves with this album. They must now live up to their
reputation as a fantastic group.
THE TIME is a group for the present and definitely a group of the future.
