A rattle of drums, a blare of bugles, and a burst of applause announce the arrival of the M.H.S. Majorettes led by Barbara Chernis and Barbara Wise, matching the beat of the band with their snappy step. Practicing their intricate routines with the band and their advisor, Mrs. Davis, these girls turned in a wonderful performance on all occasions and were enthusiastically received by every- one. In addition to football games, they were a vital part of every rally, of the annual band concert, of various civic parades, and even made admirable cheerleaders” at the Girls’ Club Amateur Show. Whirling and twirling their sparkling sticks”, the M.H.S. majorettes have earn- ed a reputation as colorful and skillful representatives of Melrose High.

Cheerleaders led by Captain Nancy Albertson jumped, clapped, cartwheeled, and even twisted their way through the year to cheer on our teams. The M.H.S. 12 not only led the cheering but instilled school spirit and good sportsmanship in Melrose. To further back the teams these peppy girls, supervised by Miss Wheeler, also organized successful and surprise-filled pre-game rallies which included a visit from an unusual group of Win- chester cheerleaders and the presentation of a live Thanksgiving turkey to Dave Reardon. Their cries of victory resounded throughout the year on home ground, away, at sports award assemblies, and at the tournaments. For their loyal support and active promotion of school spirit M.H.S. joins in a big cheer for Nancy and her squad. 46 If they can’t do it, no one can!
