HPERSUNALITIES AND PARADE What would a football game be Without the baton twirlers who strut up and down the field in front of the band? Each girl with her White uniform trimmed in purple and with her sparkling baton is a pleasing sight which adds gaiety to the picture. At the head, as Drum Major, We have Shirley MacDonald, a very active student who has been a majorette for four years. Shirley is a junior Whose hobby is singing. Next we have two attractive young Drum Majorettes and two Mascots. lean Mittenzwey is a friendly junior Whose hobby is dancing. This is her first year as majorette and she has loved every minute of it. The other rnajorette is Sally Toogood, a very promising young freshman. Sally is a commercial student, likes school very much and collects football pictures as a hobby. The little blonde is Betty Orton, the mascot. Betty is a junior, and has been a mascot for four years. She has chosen baton twirling as a hobby and is constantly practicing it. Last, but by no means least, is the other mascot, Phyllis l-lagaman. Phyllis is an academic student in the tenth grade and has been a mascot for three years. The graduating students Will long remember the lively entertainment given to us by the Drum Major and her Majorettes.

After the smoke ot the final battle cleared away, the winners could be clearly dis- tinguished as Peggy Bost, Marie DiStetano, Alice Gedney, and Ruth Grimes. Add these to the veterans, Brown, Barth, and Bower and you have a mighty fancy group ot cheerleaders. During the year the cheerleaders have added several new cheers to their repertoire, perhaps the most appreciated one being the Alabama Shake lt -a snappy little ditty originated for the pur- pose ot distracting opposite teams.

Ieanne Owens Secretary ,..... --- Lou lane farvis Treasurer --- --- Roy Schafer The band, with its shiny instruments and contrasting purple and White uniforms, is a stirring sight as they march down the field at the football games. Under the supervision of Mr, Richard Fleming, the band, com- posed of 40 members, has put in many strenuous hours of practice, not only in music, but in different styles of marching. Proof of this has been the per- fection and ease with which they march at each football game. They have aided in programs given at assembly, assuring us of delightful entertain- ment. The band has also played for special events such as launchings, war bond drives, and parades. 035,050 471 SL Pagf Tieimzty-fivlf
