Because ofthe high interest shown by the Mitchell girls in becoming majorettes, lVlr. Norman Smith de- cided this year to add a B-squad of six girls. The new girls do not participate in as many activities as the per- forming girls, but Nlr. Smith explains the B-squad as more of a training grounds for future A-squad ma- jorettes. What is a band without pretty girls marching out ahead of it? The majorettes and squad performed along with the school marching band in half-time shows at most football games and some basketball games. Through the year they also participated in Band Day at Boulder and marched in the Palmer Homecom- ing Parade this fall. There were six A-squad maiorettes along with the new B-squad of six girls. Of course, being a majorette is not all play and no work. The auditions were held in the spring leaving the entire summer for the girls to practice, which they did quite regularly. B-Squad lVlajorettes CATHY HANSON has been representing Mitchell for the past two years as head majorette. GU!!! :Qu l 4 f 3 LEADING THE BAND came naturally for Ralph Crorner who was chosen by Nlr. Smith to act as drum major.
