' ' 1- ' ' JUNE 1952 NINE BEHRMAN GIRLS NUMBERED AMONG SUGARETTES ' By Ann Emiliani For the benefit of anyone who does not ye-t know them, let me introduce The Sugar- ettes, a precision drill team of 700 high school girls, parti- cipated in the half time ac ivitie-3 of the 1951-52 Sugar Bowl Football Game, Of those who volunteered from Behr- man, only nine remained to participate on New Year's Day. The girls were chosen particularly for their height, Weight, and ability to follow instructions. Practices were held from Sep ember through the Christ- mas holidays at Behrman, Peters and McDonogh, while the Sugarette Band held practice elsewhere. After prac- tice. or during intermission, refreshments were served. On the morning of January 1, the Sugarettes and Band nervously waited to be given the final instructions. They then marched across the field to their seats where they remained until the hali time. At the half time, before the Maryland Band had completed its routine, the band and Sugarettes took their places behind the goalpost, ready to march onto the field. The Sugarette Band marched ahead playing, paused, then started the KING COTTON MARCH, which most of the girls and boys will never forget. The mimetic routine included such sports as the Javelin, the Discus, the Sprint, the Broad Jump and the Hammer. The rou-tine ended as they left the field doing a rhythmic kick-step to the tune of WHEN MY SUGAR WALKS DOWN the STREET. The first performance of the Sugarettes was met with many Well de- servedpraises from the public. ' T In appreciation for their hard work and wonderful performances, ,the Sugarettes and Band were honored with a party and dance by the Mid-Winter Sports Association. At this time the Sugarettes were presented silver, miniature. Sugar Bowl pinsg the Band members were given pen-knives. . . . The Sugarettes from Behrman were June Dunbar, Ann' Emiliani, .Emma France, Iris Gordy, Janice Lauman, Merle Robichaux, Rita Joyce Romero, Jackie Senat, and Betty Sue Tyler. The Sugarettes will perform again next year. MBHS' . The senior classes are taught not only to recognize the symptoms of com- municable diseases but also how to treat them. They have learned aboutithe causes and cures of rare diseases as well as the mdre common ones. Each student did research work on a different disease and presented a report to the 'clas-sg this helped greatly in learing the truth about many disease and in dis- pelling old wives' tales that have attached themselves 'to the cause, treat- ment, and cure of some diseases. V Because of the limited playing space the classes were hampered a bit in their usual well-rounded intramural program, but the girls were taught- the fundamentals of volleyball, giant volleyball, basketball and indoor ball. Outside classes are enjoyed by everyone because of the difference from the usual :routine classes and the chance they afford the' individual to get a wonderful ready-made sun tan.
