The
first pep club was established at
Princeton University in the 1870s and the following decade brought
about the first organized yell. According to legend, at a Princeton
football game, Thomas Peebler gathered six men to lead a yell on the
sidelines in front of the student body. In 1884, Peebler reportedly
took the yell to the University of Minnesota campus and on November 2,
1898, a cheerleader named Johnny Campbell got so excited that he jumped
out in front of the crowd. The University of Minnesota is also credited
with the first school "fight song".

High School squad. On the Freshman squad there are 4 of us Brittney,
Ashton, Halston, and myself. On the JV. squad there are

basketball. We go to 2 competions each year. The first competion we
placed second and went to state. At state we placed 6th, one place
away from a trophy. I thought the girls did well. Our second compition
is in March and we all get to participate in it. We all get along great
and have loads of fun.
