Billie was chosen to be head majorette and Teta Hews, assistant. Once a week, Teta has a class of seventh and eighth grade girls who are learning to be majorettes for future seasons.

The Dance Band, organized two years ago under the direction of Paul Leeman, has been very successful.

The original members of this group include Jane Brown, Sandra Holmes, Lester Smallidge, Ernest Coombs, Steve Miller, and Gary Tyler. This year the new mem- bers are Betty Murrell, Elaine Higgins, and Crosby Fernald. The small fees collected for appearances at different school functions are ex- pended for music and orchestral equipment.

The year started with a very large enrollment for the band. We have lost a few members by the wayside, but as a whole the interest has been high. Our first appearance of the year was at the first basketball game on Thanks- giving Eve, and we made our debut with all new music. At the next game we com- menced the procedure of marching in with the majorettes, cheer leaders, and the players. This innovation was well received and made an excellent impression on both audience and the visiting team. In addition to playing at all the basketball games the band played for several other occasions including the spring concert and also attended the Eastern Maine Music Festival which was held at Skowhegan, Maine, on May 23.
