"Preparing . . . Peppy . . . Pooped.  These describe the story of this year's cheerleading team, led by Captain, Ellen Meinke.  Hours of preparation and practice went into perfecting new cheers and touching up on the old ones.  To learn new and proper techniques, the team attended a clinic for cheerleading at Spring Lake Park High School.

Pep fests were conducted to heighten school spirit for a game and to teach the new cheers to the student body.

This squad of lively Teddies cheered, screamed, and worked until they were pooped.  Victory was great but defeat couldn't dampen their pep and enthusiasm."

"Ish biddley oten doten, bobo si deeton doton,

"Push 'em back, push 'em back, waaay back!   Push 'em back, push 'em back, waaay back!
 Push 'em back, push 'em back, waaay back!"
