Finding paragraph #1

In my research, I have found the answers to a few of my questions. Pom poms are the decorative handheld streamers that cheerleaders use as visual props. The first pom poms were can be traced back to the 1930s, at that time pom poms were handmade from paper. In 1953, Lawrence Herkimer founded the Cheerleading Supply Company and later started making pompoms. Fred Gastoff invented the first vinyl pompoms in 1965. These pompoms were first used by the International Cheerleading Foundation. Cheerleaders started cheering at different sports about two decades later. They cheered at wrestling, swimming, track, football, and basketball. Then it eventually made it to T.V and attracted watchers.

Quote - "Cheerleading was now a recognized force in schools. “Yell leaders” in the 1930's began to use megaphones, drums and noisemakers to heighten the excitement. Then came World War II and men left to fight. Women took over cheerleading and began to dominate the sport. In fact, when Laurence “Herkie” Herkimer founded the spirit industry and organized the first cheerleader camp at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas in 1948, 52 girls attended. The camp taught fundamental cheerleading skills. Throughout the next two decades and into the 70's, the sport branched out to support wrestling, track and swimming, in addition to the well-established football and basketball."

Paraphrase - Cheerleaders were once called "Yell leaders". In the 30's megaphones, drums, and different noise makers were used to help get the crowd excited. Women took over the sport because most men left to go fight in World War II. Laurence Herkimer found the first cheerleading camp in Texas and 52 girls attended. The jump Herkie came from Herkimer. In the 70's cheerleaders started supporting werestling, football, basketball, track, and swimming.
