Coaches devoted their time to getting the best they could out of their players. Fans enjoyed watching their team in action on the field, while the cheerleaders backed them all the way. And the seniors made a profit off ofthe games by running the concession stands. But let's not forget the entertainment of the game - a group of approx- imately 100 talented members - the W.H.S. Marching Chimeras! Half-time was for the fans. They relaxed while witnes- sing the results of plenty of hard work and practicing on the part of the students. Before the 78-79 school year had even begun, the marching Chimeras were in the parking lot learning new techniques and steps. It takes more than the fans might think to put together a show like the one seen for the first time last September. These Marching Chimeras had put on an exciting show this year, with a lot of the credit going to Mr. Bernie Marini. As well as the designer of a great performance, Mr. Marini became a real friend to every one involved. He had spent these past two seasons making many sacrifices, and W.H.S. wishes to express it's appreciation to an exceptional man. The music was Mr. Nicholas Forte's department. He wrote original compositions for the band to play, with Mr. Rich Schlenker by his side as percussion instructor and co- director. The dynamic voice heard from above the stands announcing the performance, was that of Mr. Rich Giresi, a business teacher at the school. It took the combined efforts of all of these people to create a short fifteen minute show! Congratulations to each and everyone of them for another successful season. t y l ---- .-,..,J i The wind section, comprised of Carla Hampton, Eric Moore, William Whitehurst, Michelle Hampton, Gale Chinn, After the Show is Over, ML Marini and Drew Johnson solemnly play the national anthem. m instructs the band off the field. 19

Performing a drill at a football game, Lisa Murray shakes her Pom-Poms. WE KEEP UP THE SPIRIT The Willingboro High School support units were the highlight of the football halftime show. These squads per- formed at every football game for the spectator's entertain- ment. The support units Were not on the field doing simple routines. Each squad had its own perfected routine to add excitement to every performance. The Front Silks had head chops , the Colorguard had gun exchange, Pom- Poms had their hats and canes, Flag Twirlers had the Statue of Liberty , and the Majorettes had their flaming batons. All of these tasks took time to learn and accomplish. The girls started working on their show in August, and kept working right through football season. All of their hard work payed off at the end of each halftime show. The cheers and applause from grateful fans made all of the work worthwhile.
