Blogger hopes the title of this blog does not cause any trouble. The last time we used something that sort of looked like something from another institution by the same name (there’s a U. in front of our two significant initials) we were, shall we say, reminded that there could be a law suit. Of course, we demurred. Ahem.
Do you remember old cheers from your high school days? Sr. M. Reina has one that she carries in her
memory from her Regina High School days.
The cheer goes like this:
Aka laka ching
Aka laka chow
Aka laka ching ching
Chow, chow, chow.
(Are you out of your chair yet?)
Boomalaka
Boomalaka
Zisboomba
(Our school, our school) Rah, rah,
rah!
(“Notre Dame, Notre Dame” fits better than “Regina, Regina”,
don’t you think?) This is probably a
pretty well known cheer.
One that blogger remembers from somewhere; perhaps it’s
familiar too.
Boom chika boom,
Boom chika boom;
Boom chika licka chika,
Boom chika boom.
Zis-boom bah, zis-boom bah
(Our school, our school) Rah, rah,
rah!
The faculty has used this a few times at faculty v. students
volley ball games. And a good time was
had by all! (Students won the last such
game, but it was not fair, really. Miss
Gunning, our athletic director, came into the game on the side of the
students.)
It would be interesting to research these cheers. Does anyone know when and where they were
first used? (Of course you could ask,
does anyone really care?)
You are invited to let blogger know of any cheer you remember
from your own days at NDA if there were such, or from CCH since our girls
served as their cheer leaders for several years (perhaps you were one of
them). It would be fun to have a blog
just on your recollections. Misspellings
are permitted and forgiven (who’s to know anyway?)
Have a happy spring, yes, SPRING. They say it will come!
Regarding the picture, yes, that is, no: blogger knows these are not cheer-leaders, but it's a fun photo, don't you think? Sort of fits.
