Cheer squad seeks varsity designation
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “sga”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the revival of cheerleading and the squad’s effort to gain varsity recognition.

- The reporter writes that the squad was no longer considered only a club, but still had to show success and commitment before receiving a varsity title.
- According to the article, more than 30 girls attended tryouts, and 12 joined the squad; captains and regular practice times had not yet been set.
