Two Perry High
cheerleaders
join ntl. group
Two Perry High cheerleaders will
be leaving for London the day after
Christinas, as part of the Universal
Cheerleader's All-Star Squad, a
group composed of the nation's lop
spirit leaders.
On December 26, Cindy Dawkins
and September Taibi, both juniors
at P.H.S., will fly from Atlanta to
London for eight days of touring,
practicing and performing.
Cindy is the daughter of Mr., and
Mrs. Gillis ’Skip" Dawkins, and
Stephanie is the daughter of Mrs.
Cheryl Taibi.
Both girls were named all-stars
after tryouts at camp this summer.
They were judged by college cheer
leaders and instructors.
Last week, both girls and their
coach, Mrs. Elaine Stephens, were
featured in Channel 13’s "Mornin'
With Karla Heath." During the
show they detailed their tryouts,
plans for the trip and their overall
reactions when selected as part of
the national group.
"When the names were called out,
we had mass hysteria! Seldom does
a school get more than one cheer
leader, if there is one selected, from
its squad. To have two is a distinct
honor," said Mrs. Stephens.
This year's members arc the first
for Perry High, "In the future we
hope to have at least one yearly"
added Mrs. Stephens.
The all-star squad has branches
for varsity and junior varsity; the
junior varsity members usually do
not travel outside the United States.
Normally, the younger girls travel
to a bowl game or a parade, such as
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
During their visit to London, the
squad - composed of the best in the
USA - will stay at the Tower
Thistle Hotel when not practicing
for their performances, they will
have time to travel and shop. The
main appearance comes New Year's
Day, when they star in a parade and
perform for the Queen.
Funding for the trips came
through family, friends, boosters
and businesses.
"Because this was a first for us,
we had no plan for financing the
trips," said Mrs. Stephens. "Next
time we hope to have a procedure,"
she added.
Both cheerleaders expressed ap
preciation to everyone who has con
tributed money and advice. "Several
local people have given us lots, of
tips about the weather and food."
Stephanie explained.
Now that the financial obstacles
arc out of the way, the girls can
concentrate on learning the rou-
