“Our cheerleaders and pom pom girls will be doing their routines at Saturday’s game with Foothill,” says Assistant Director of Student Activities Joaquin Herrero. “We don’t expect them to have a great number of routines, but they will have a few of the old standards and, hopefully, two or three new De Anza yells.”
Tryouts for the six pom pom girl openings and the three cheerleader positions were held Friday, Sept. 8. Those who entered the competition came from Foothill and local high schools. Signs announcing the tryouts were placed on campus last week.
The entrants were judged by a panel of 10 to 13 students-at-large, Herrero and Miss Marjorie Hinson, director of student activities. They were allowed to try out individually or in groups and were chosen on the basis of their interviews, poise, rhythm, genuineness of smile, originality, precision and coordination.
