Football half times, parades, pep rallies engage new Tigerette drill team in busy schedule For the newly formed Tigerette drill team, girls tried out three months in advance. Tryouts consisted of march- ing skills, an original composition and a basic routine taught by the songleaders. During the rigorous summer training, the Tigerettes designed their uniforms and began learning their basic marching skills. Pre game shows consisted of forming the traditional spirit stick, which displayed the graduating year of the class winning the competition yell. Miniature stars and crepe paper streamers accented the formation of the United States flag during a special half time show dedi- cated to all American service men. At the Cal Poly band day the Tigerettes gave their portrayal of the famous Rockettes in the formation of Radio City Music Hall. In rendering service to their school, the Tigerettes acted as guides for parents during the fall open house. The Tigerettes assisted with the tryouts and then spring training of the new drill team candidates to assure a special seventh period class next year. Miss Carnell, faculty adviser, organized the drill team. DRILL TEAM-FRONT ROW: Patti Fryer, D'Anne Gallagher, lieutenant Pat Mallory, captain, Kathy Whitmer, lieutenant, Lily Magnia.

Mixed Ensemble gains new name-Carousels Acquiring formals, dinner iackets and a new name, the Mixed Ensemble enhanced their professional look and sound with choreography and a rhythm back- ground. Renamed the Carousels, the songsters performed for more than 20 civic organizations. Variety was the byword for the Carousels as they performed music rang- ing from madrigals to Negro spirituals to Broadway medleys. A two-night stand at the Choral Christmas Concert found the Concert Choir singing the music of such famed composers as Strovinsky, Berger and Hovhaness. Mounds of kleenex were used by choir members in the construction of a huge Showboat float for the homecoming parade. Second semester enrollment for concert choir increased from 52 to 65 members.
