New cheerleaders chosen
—Jessie 'Bragg
Express Writer-
The Panola College cheerlead-
ing squad grew by five earlier
this month when the new in-
coming members were chosen.
After a day of workouts and
tryouts, four cheerleaders and a
mascot were picked.
Incoming members are Dana
Kirkland of Tatum, Tanya Stein
of Mt. Enterprise, Jennifer
Jordan of Hallsville and Jennifer
Schillings of Shelbyville.
Jeff White of Tatum was
picked as "Champion III."
The freshmen will join the six
returning members of the
squad. Melody Barbee of Tatum
and Jessie Bragg of San
Augustine are co-captains for
the 1992 school year.
Other returning cheerleaders
are Tina Agnew of Center, Jodie
Bragg of San Augustine,
Stephanie Forrest of
Daingerfield and Deanna Mc-
Queen of Forney.
"I'm really looking forward to
next year with six returning,"
said Brenda Allums, cheerleader
advisor. "With this experience I
hope to have a very successful
year.
The cheerleader candidates
were judged on a cheer, a chant,
and a short dance.
The judges were from the
Texas Junior College
Cheerleader Association.
The Panola Cheerleaders are
already working on material for
this summer's Panola
Cheerleader Camp, slated July 6
-10.
Last year over 200 area high
school and junior high school
cheerleaders and mascots
attended the camp, a major fund
raiser for the PC squad.
The cheerleaders will also
travel to San Marcos in July to
attend college spirit camp spon-
sored by the Universal
Cheerleader Association. Last
year Panola won the camp
championship by placing in ev-
ery category - fight song, cheer
and sideline chant.
Kendra Smith, Champion, won
the camp mascot championship,
a major accomplishment since
she was the only junior college
mascot in the 50 attending
camp.
Smith, a Carthage sophomore,
will be attending Texas A&M
next fall. Also leaving Panola for
Aggieland are Melissa Phillips
and Shay Robertson, both of
Jefferson. Sophomore Kimberly
Adams of Hallsville plans to
attend nursing school next year.
Amy O'Bryan, mascot helper
and Carthage sophomore, will
be headed to College Station
also.
Police training held at PC
the senate. It'll be a great
experience for everyone."
The newly elected officers
took their responsibilities in
hand and, with the help of the
senate members, immediately
made plans for the annual
Spring Fling.
"Since many of us are return-
ing officers and each hard
workers, we're looking forward
to a fun and successful year next
year," said Meachen.
