MaleCheerleadersby Dianne Walker Last weekend I was looking at a desk calen-dar that a friend gave me for Christmas. It’s really cute, it has different col-ored pages that you tear off at the end of the day and on each page is some unusual information, like if you drink one hundred and thirty-five cups of tea the amount of caffine would be lethal. Also, did you know that Monday, the 27th is statistically more unlucky than Friday the 13th? Or and this one is really weird, humans share about 50% of DNA with bananas - huh? Saturday as I was on a Spring cleaning jag, I no-ticed the calendar and tore off the old date pages. I came across one page that had a drawing of George W. Bush holding a pom pom, wearing a skirt and high heels. At the bottom it stated, “Did you know George W. Bush was a male cheerleader? As ev-eryone in Dunlap knows by know, George W. Bush was not my favorite Presi-dent, but to make it sound like there is something girly about being a male cheerleader is absurd and ridiculous. You have to be able to pick up, hoist, throw and catch women that weigh over 100 lbs. I don’t know too many girls or men who can do that. It takes total dedica-tion to daily weight lifting, many push-ups, chin lifts, etc. It’s also dangerous and really hard on the body. A woman’s weight is plenty when you are lifting her, but when she is coming down after she has spun in the air, she can do some major damage if you catch her wrong. So make fun of George W. all you like, but not be-cause he was cheerleader.

Appearingon stage this

weekend This year’s musical at Boyer Valley High School is scheduled for Saturday, April 5th at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 6th at 4 p.m. The title for this year’s musical is “Pom-Pom Zombies”, which Jim Jordan, MS/HS Band/Choir Director, describes in this way: “Think of Grease combined with zombies.” The music is described as follows: It’s the 1960’s – a big nuclear blast to the past! School’s out for the summer and the teenagers of Ocean View High are ready to surf, sun and have some fun. Their favorite hangout is Barnacle Betty’s Surf Club, which happens to be right next door to the evil Ivana Ratnik’s nuclear power plant. But…oops! Cindy Sue, the head cheerleader, accidentally gets some nuclear slime on her hot dog instead of pickle relish, and soon the beach is overrun with pom-pom wielding zombies! Her all-American boyfriend, the beatniks, the nerds and a tough girl gang named the Barracudas rally their forces to save the beach from the atomic attackers. It is a sci-fi spoof of those beach blanket flicks of the 60’s. The cast includes: Cindy Sue played by Lexi Seuntjens; Roger, Scott Garrett; Weenie, Catherine Dublinske; Melvin, Josh Rose; Myron, Casey Swindell; Pickle, Madison Seuntjens; Gertrude, Jennifer Zehner; Muff, Mali Bounsana; Betsy, Alissa Wright; Spike, Jasmine Riley; Slick, Lizzy Jones; Grunt, Jessie Tucker; Weasel, Allison Behrendt; Laverne, Holly Brock; Shirley, Katie Cogdill; Betty, Martha Sherwood; Zeke, Jimmy Cogdill; Moose, Jesse Espinoza; Pandora, Liberty Monk; Wanda, Lara Laubscher; Nebraska, Alex Whiteing; Paisley, Rosa Nelson; Monroe, Chelsea Willis; Ivana, Ally Kahl; Proton, Rhiannon Collins; Neutron, Jarlin Arroyo and *Skipper???
