 Coeds Bring Color, Pride Into Assemblies, Parades A splash of color in orange and black, school banner abreast, heads proudly high, the ten Banner Girls high-stepped it leading the band in all halftime performances and parades. Often the comely coeds posted the flag at assemblies, served at banquets, and ushered at concerts and drama productions. Traditionally, they sang at the White Christmas assembly and put on a skit for the Blackouts Talent Show. Each girl combined her individuality with those of her cohorts to produce a sparkling array. Quick stepping beauties who carried the banner were Carolyn Kear, Gina Dunn, Mary Warner, Melody Hall, Judy Tubach, Ilona Foy, Sherrie Fleming, Betty Hannigan, Sherron Spomer, and Maricoye Christenson. Judy Tubach, Maricoye Christenson, Ilona Foy, Carolyn Kear, and Gina Dunn train their voices for the Christmas assembly with the help of Merrybeth Hollingsworth. Banner Girls harmonize at the Christmas assembly. 150

Leaders Combine Art, Precision, Brilliance Accompanied by the clash of the cymbals, the blare of the horns, and the rhythm of the snares, the drum majors skillfully kept the band in a tight formation of brilliance and color.
