High School Spotlight:
Deedre enjoys che¢00rleading
By REBECCA WELLS
Leading the crowd at games
- boosting the spirit and keep-
ing the atmosphere positive - is
why Deedre Sigmond has fun as a
cheerleader. In her second year on
the cheerleading team, she's one of
three varsity cheer squad leaders
at Shelton High School.
"You're really involved with the
school and the school spirit," ex-
plains the senior.
During the summer, the cheer-
leaders host a junior cheer camp
for little girls, teaching them ba-
sic cheers and a dance routine.
Then the girls peribrm the routine
at the first football game of the
season. "You play games and hang
out with them and be a buddy, so
it's really fun," Deedre says.
Once spring arrives, Deedre
hopes to try out for track, some-
thing she hasn't done since the
eighth grade when she placed
sixth in the district. She was also
named girls' captain by the end of
the season. "I had fun," she says.
"1 h)ve track, I do. I just haven't
had the time to do it the last few
years."
HER PLAN IS to compete in
the high jump, long jump, pole
vault and maybe some running
events. "I'm very excited this year
because I want to pole vault really
bad," she says, adding: "I love high
jump! It's my favorite!"
Track isn't the only activity
she's returned to after a few years.
She's also serving as secretary of
the Associated Student Body. The
last time she had served was as
secretary in the ninth grade.
"It's a lot to handle. You have to
write a lot," she said, noting that
the secretary makes a record of
what is said for future reference.
"You have to really pay attention
and that's taught me a lot because
I don't usually pay attention but
you have to really focus and that's
been really good."
Deedre is also working on focus-
ing some of her energy on improv-
ing conditions at Save Our Coun-
ty's Kids, also known as SOCK.
Right now, she and her fellow
Class of 1940
plans its final
2007 meeting
Members of the Irene S. Reed
ttigh School Class of 1940 will
gather for their last meeting of
2007.
They will gather at 11:15 a.m.
on Thursday, December 6, at the
Royal Shanghai Restaurant, lo-
cated at 2517 Olympic Highway
North.
Following the meeting, the la-
dies' choral group will perform
Christmas music.
DEEDRE SIGMOND hopes to raise money for Save Our
County's Kids for her senior project and then perhaps
study photography in college.
cheerleader Emma Clarke-Cra-
teau are mentoring a younger girl
through SOCK, alternating days
of the week when they see her.
"She's really cute," Deedre says of
the younger girl.
DEEDRE'S IDEA is for SOCK
to do fired-raisers, such as a dona-
tion drive at school, as well an arts
and crafts drive to help spruce up
the atmosphere inside youth cen-
ter. For the time being, the facility
sports bleak, bare wails. She'd like
to paint them bright, vibrant col-
ors to liven up the place. "There's
so many things I want to do to help
little kids," she says.
Lack of time, money and re-
sources poses a challenge to her
ambition. As part of the arts and
crafts drive, she'd like to host a
whole "arts and crafts day" at the
youth center so the community
can see what is going on there and
learn firsthand about its need tbr
support and volunteers. "We're
hoping that will help. That's what
we want to do," she says.
All of this will count toward her
cumulative senior project at the
end of the year. Once she gradu-
ates, Deedre wants to attend South
Puget Sound Community College
fi)r a year. That would give her
a chance to save money by living
at home until she decides exactly
what kind of career she wants to
pursue before transferring to ei-
ther a four-year college or a spe-
cialized school, tier parents are
Deedre and Richard Sigmond.
So far, Deedre already has cred-
it for Sociology 101, a college class
she took during her sophomore
year. She's been working at Mc-
Donald's for the last nine months
and is thinking about eventually
becoming either a photographer or
a massage therapist.
"I just like to take tons of pic-
tures. I have my digital camera
with me all the time and I always
take pictures," she explains.
