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. HOLIDAY 00AGIC 00EG00!S 00[OODSPORT!7 Hood Canal Kiwanis Presents...
