YOUNG AMERICAN ivING 1 0E Sunday, July 21, 1985 Hattiesburg AMERICAN Galloway shows mascots the right moves Young American 4 1 By SANDRA BURNETT AMERICAN Stall Writer Jodie Galloway of Hattiesburg weighs only 120 pounds, but she's loads of You might even say she's a tiger in disguise, and this summer she's teaching others the tricks of the trade. A 1985 graduate of Hattiesburg High School, Ms. Galloway was Tiger mascot there for two years. This summer she is teaching mascot camps on various U.S. campuses.

So far, she has taught five-day camps at the University of Tennessee at Martin, Mississippi State University and Middle Tennessee State University, camps in San Antonio and at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, still to come. As a mascot instructor with the National Cheerleaders Association, Ms. Galloway's duties include teaching campers 12-17 years old pantomime skits, routines to be performed during half-time performances and their responsibilities. She also evaluates campers with their squad leaders. The daughter of John and Patricia Galloway, the 18-year old tried out for HHS's mascot for the first time two years ago because she felt she hadn't contributed enough to her own self -worth.

"I wasn't real pleased with myself," she says about her first try-out. "I didn't feel like I had done anything for myself. I heard about mascot try-outs coming up and I wanted it badly. So, I tried out and won." She also had to audition again for the second year. Before Ms.

Galloway, HHS had no standard mascot. A different mascot performed for each function. "Being a mascot," she says, "has given me the opportunity to get a lot closer to my peers at school and to the faculty. It has meant a lot to me." One of her funniest experiences as the Tiger mascot, she says, came during a 1935 class reunion, where she met a woman who had tried to be a mascot for her class. "All she had were the tiger paws and ears.

And she wore them, too," Ms. Galloway laughs. As a mascot, Ms. Galloway usually performs alone and her inspiration comes from the people that she makes laugh. "The only thing that keeps me going and keeps me from being embarrassed being out there by myself is when I see the smiles on people's faces.

When I see the people laughing, I really don't want to stop. It's just a good feeling to see somebody else having a good time over something I've done." Being a mascot, she says, has brought about some interesting experiences for her as well, including breakdancing lessons. She has been the target of animosity, she says, because she was thought to have been a black male mascot, rather than a white female mascot. She also performed for children during a function sponsored by the American Cancer Society and she go to sit in the lap of former Hattiesburg Mayor Bobby Chain in her tiger suit, of course. Being mascot has made differences in her life, she says.

"I'm a completely different person than I was before. I feel for the first time that I have done something for myself. I just feel like you can always let other people do something for you, but I've finally done something for myself. I've worked at this myself, I've given it all I've got for the past two years and just feel that I've finally done something for me." Determined to "be the best I can be," Ms. Galloway says she lost 50 pounds during the two months between the end of school and her first camp job and hasn't gained a pound of it back.

"It's an honor for me, working with NCA. They are a great organization and have given me an opportunity to share my happiness with other people," she says. As a senior last year, Ms. Galloway was the recipient of the D.I. Patrick Award, HHS's highest honor, Lions Club Service Award, School Spirit Award and Leadership Award.

She says she wants to be a school teacher and plans to attend David Lipscomb College in Nashville this fall on a $1,200 scholarship, majoring in physical education. She wants to teach PE and history. "I just love being around younger people, which is why I love my job this summer because I get to help kids," she says. 1 JHU I JODIE GALLOWAY, formerly Hattiesburg High School's Tiger mascot, is teaching other mascots all the right moves this summer as a National Cheerleader Association MM Superstars dominate MTV awards selection Video Playback VIDEOS OF THE MONTH Tina Turner "We Don't Need Another Hero" By ROBYN JACKSON Staff Writer Nominations for MTV's second annual Video Music Awards prove that the big stars dominate an art form originally designed to spotlight emerging talent.
