Majorettes ima jer-etlj, n. the marching leaders of the band, usually performing drills or routines with a baton. This year, as in the past, those who attended Palmyra's football games were treated to excellent perform- ances by the band. Helping to make the weekly shows even more enjoy- able were the majorettes. Each Sat- urday they performed their intricate routines, exhibiting their talents at strutting, marching and flag twirling. This year the head majorette, Judy Koehler, and captain, Carol Smith, were both seniors, with the line com- posed of two seniors, four juniors and two sophomores. Their skillful twirling and snappy steps make the majorettes a big at- traction in all of the band's shows. Judy C arol Carole C3.I'O1 Judy Donna
