A new sports season has begun. And this year, according to Bryant Wright, head Gamecock cheerleader, will be even bigger and better. "The big difference between this year's Varsity cheerleaders and last is that everyone is a lot more cooperative," Wright said. "We 3 still have room for improvement, but we have been practicing twice a day since we returned from camp." This camp, at Johnson City, Tenn., was comprised of about 400 cheerleaders from colleges and universities all over the United 1 States. The Gamecock cheerleaders not only won the r "Coke Award", the highest coveted cheerleading award, but were also voted "Most Spirited" by S the other squads. The "Coke Award", sponsored by the Coca Cola Co., Inc. enables the s cheerleaders to make a four-day s trip to the Senior Bowl, in New Orleans, to cheer Jan. 6. The Varsity cheerleaders, made 3 up of 13 regulars and 3 alternates, e includes Vicki Durham, Pat Thompson, Helen Hall, Anne Harkins, Bev Ballinger, Diana a Hicks, Camille Bradford, Susan rl Scurlock, Sam Barber, Zoomie Harvey, Legman Robinson, Buzz Prescott, Mike Demauro, Robert e S The Mar don't wai lot of re4 We're 1o4 for a feiv If everybody could For almost two hui ranks small. e Today it is harder t e tough team to make.
