Titanette Drill Team Wins More Trophies Leader-Cathy Habbeshaw l President-Ruthie Glenn The 1967-68 Titanette Drill Team participated in countless parades, field days, and halftime shows during the year. The Titanettes, whose purpose is to promote school spirit and represent Pioneer to the very best degree, also sponsored such things as a bottle drive to raise money for parade entry fees. Among the many awards won by the Drill Team were: first runner up at the Chaffey parade, second place at the Hawthorne parade, and first place at the Whittier Homecoming Parade. They also participated in the West Arcadia and Whittier Christmas parades, and the Baldwin Park parade, where they won first place. As a whole, the Titanettes spent a very successful year, and one in which they more than accomplished their pur- pose.

Majorettes Add Dazzle to Parades and Games N'-J' The duties of a majorette are numerous and varied. Besides attending all games, they are re- quired to perform at pep rallies, pep assemblies, and parades. Often the girls are asked to make up new routines on short notice, which is quite a prob- lem. Working out and perfec- tion of marching and twirling routines is a time-Consuming job. In order to perform well, much practice is needed. Every- one must agree that Gwen and Debbie have done a great job this year. Gwen Scifres, Head Majorette Gwen and Debbie pose with their betasseled batons before going into action at a football game. Pioneerfs majorettes, Gwen Scifres and Debbie Threadgill, are two hard- working and conscientious girls who seem to thoroughly enjoy their jobs as pepsters.
