"We're Leading America": The Changing Organization and Form of High School Cheerleading.
Lesko, Nancy
Theory and Research in Social Education, v16 n4 p263-78 Fall 1988
Examines the professionalization of high school cheerleading, investigating the impact of a national association which establishes cheerleading standards and is involved in cheerleader selection. Finds that the increased status and skill associated with this national organization results in a bureaucratization of cheerleading and usurpation of control by the national organization. (GEA)
