YELL LEADERS Bernadette Nunes, Gloria Tonini, Virginia Simpson VEll LEIIDERS llllll IIIHJORETTES Two of the most important groups of girls at our football games are the major- ettes and yell leaders. At the football games and at parades you could always see our five major- ettes leading the band. They were always there, although it was cold at times. Burrrrr! If you have ever watched them in action you would say that they made every effort to add spirit to the occasion. This is the last year for our senior majorettes Maryetta Lawson, Evelyn Cac- cia, and Margaret Tisdel. We regret that Rosemary Savino had to move away for when she did we lost a good majorette. To run for head yell leader a girl for boyl must have had a year's experience. Our yell leaders attended both of the cheerleaders' conferences in Salinas and Monterey. These conferences are held for the purpose of bringing the yell leaders together to discuss means of improving their rooting sections. Gloria Tonini deserves our hearty thanks for all the work she has done dur- ing her three years as head yell leader. We are especially proud of these two organizations and hope that they keep up the good work. MAIORETTES LEFT TO RIGHT: Veretta Bolin, Rose-Mary Savino. Maryetta Lawson, Margaret Tisdel, Evelyn Caccia.

Gonzales students are becoming more and more music conscious as is shown by increased in- terest in the band and other music departments. Since the Monterey County Fair was held be-V tor school opened the band did not take part this year. lts tirst parade was in Paso Robles tor Pioneer Day on October l2th. Here they were awarded their second trophy. The band did not march at the Salinas Valley Fair in King City this year because it was cancelled, but later took part in Memorial Day parades in Gonzales. ln tull uniform and led by its charming major- ettes, the band played and marched at all home football games this year and at two games away irom home, Hollister and Carmel, and did much to help out the rooting section. The band presented a program on April 26th lor Public Schools Week. This program was also given in King City as a school exchange pro- gram. The Second Annual C.C.A.L.
