MAJORETTES Twirling Their Way To The Top Of Their Class The Pinson Valley Marching Chiefs have always been fortunate to have an excellent majorette line, and this year is no exception. Although somewhat diminished in number, the majorettes have again become a crowd favorite at pep rallies and football games. Under the strong leadership and ex- perience of head majorette Stacey Godfrey and long-time sponsor Mrs. Joy Deming, the majorettes added a special dimension to the bands stacey Godfrey halftime show. The talent with which they performed the difficult and exciting twirls is obvious, since they received superior ratings at all marching competitions and festivals. Through all the hard work and practice, both with the band and by themselves, the majorettes have again proven their value and worth to the Pin- son Valley Marching Chiefs. They are an obvious plus to the band and will continue to add their talent to a winning effort. ORGANIZATIONS 173

Cindy Flanagan They Make It Look Easy The Chieftainettes make their job look easy, right? They look like they have been up in front of a crowd performing all of their lives. It ' s hard to believe that these girls have only been prac- ticing since they were chosen last spring. After having the month of June off, the newly selected Chief- tainettes were ready to get down to business under the watchful eyes of Head — Holly Hoagland and Co-head — Cindy Flanagan. They spent a week at camp, sharpening their skills and prepar- ing for the long weeks and months of practice ahead. All the long hours of hard prac- tice have paid off. The Chief- tainettes turned in exceptional performances at all pep rallies, football games and band competi- tions. They even went so far as to make a perfect 100 at the Vestavia Marching Festival. They also show their talent and skill at all home basketball games. Ms. Cathy Spencer has done an excellent job as first-year sponsor of the Chieftainettes. They have again held up the traditional ex- cellence of the squad by turning out great performances. M. King P. Bresnahan E. Decker T. Evans P. Harris V J. May R. McGettigan a di R. Pruet A. Rooks M.
