The high points of the year was an attendance record maintained during both football and basketball games and an initiation party held January 10 for eleven new members. During the busy football season the Bobettes made small megaphones for sale to the public as one of their money making activities. They also performed with the band during the halves of several football games. Bobettes K Tl EW 1 r --s .v Sandra ' ll' Q , 1 215 xiii 0 'ii Donna Georgette Connie 5 . .

Through the cooperation of these girls and the student body we promoted better sportsmanship and school relations. The majorette s, a feature of the band, have given regular performances during the season. Gloria and Janet, regular members of the band, teach twirling to younger students.
