Synchronettes plan amazing show Synchronettes included six girls who worked to synchronize water ballet routines. Practicing at least twice a week, the girls worked hard. After writing up their routines, the girls then worked out the routines in the water. In order to achieve an all-around better show, the East Syn- chronettes have joined with the North Dolphins. East Syn- chronettes have therefore done all their practicing and performing at North. On May 12 13, Synchronettes were to put on the performance which they had prepared for all year.
