Head Majorettes: Mae Annis, JoAnn Andreu- kaitis. The Majorettes, under the capable direction of Mr. Milton Kimmel, completed another successful year as they led the band, and helped to stimulate school spirit at the football games. The nine Majorettes performed various routines consist¬ ing of twirling and dance steps which they had created them¬ selves. They practiced on Wednesdays and Fridays to improve their performance at the games. For the annual Thanksgiving game with Andover, the Majorettes did their dance routine to Swingin’ on Parade.” Their performance, which was preceded by a great deal of careful preparation, was particularly well received. The Majorettes also participated in the Santa Claus Pa¬ rade, the Veterans’ Day Parade, and the Memorial Day Parade. Their marching and precision were commended by all who were present. Bright red plumes brightened the Majorettes’ uniforms, and also displayed the North Andover colors. The Majorettes greatly enjoyed their work together, and extend their best wishes to those who are fortunate enough to participate as Majorettes next year. 83

They do to anyone who has attended a football or basketball game at N.A.H.S. They’re the sounds of the cheerleaders urging N.A.H.S.’s athletic teams on to success. A big part of the team’s effort is put forth with the knowledge that the support of the student body is behind them 100%. For the annual Thanksgiving Day rally, the cheerleaders presented a unique program with Pat Steele as King Arthur and the other cheerleaders as knights of the round table. What could have been more appropriate? They enriched the school spirit and enthusiasm with two additional rallies. In a competition with fourteen other schools, N.A.’s cheerleaders placed second, and brought home their second trophy in two years. This year the girls were under the supervision of Miss Abel.

SKI CLUB PEP CLUB School spirit, a quality needed in every high school, has been boosted at North Andover High School by the members of the Pep Club. Donna Bellorado, chairman of the club, and the members deserve much credit for their fine support to N.A.H.S. This was truly shown by the large number present at the Tech-Tourna¬ ment games. Using the ideas of last year’s organization, the Pep Club is the beginning for the achievement of a united student body. They have supported various competitive teams, many other activities of fellow classmates, and most important, helped make the atmosphere of high school life better. It is support, like that given by the Pep Club, that makes the students have a feeling of pride and devotion to their school.
