“Will we place?” wonders Julie DiMartino as she glances at the other competing squadsin the stands. sie J Ms JORE? Majorettes in the Spotlight Stuffed bear mascots peered down from the bleachers, adding good luck to the excitement of the day. The gym was hardly recogni- zable with paper shamrocks, streamers and balloons decorating the walls above the bleachers. On this occasion the New England Majorette Competition was hosted by Feehan on March 23, 1986. The majorettes and their parents along with Mrs. Loiselle, moderator, put time and energy into preparing yet another successful competition. Anticipation mounted as specta- tors anxiously awaited the moment when our majorettes would strut out, flash their smiles and twirl to the beat. Varsity open class in spark- ling gold vests and flaring white Skirts danced and twirled to the mesmerizing magic of “Jump and The great majorette competition is about to begin! Mr. Loiselle holds Robert while Mrs. Loiselle holds Anne Marie. Dance Electric.” Junior varsity class A twirled and exercised to “Physical” in fitness attire. Junior varsity class B portrayed cheerleaders as they strutted to “Let’s Hear It for the Boy.” In open class, New Bedford placed first, Middleboro second, and Apponequet third. Austin- Apponequet placed first in class A, Dennis-Yarmouth second and Norton third. Everyone enjoyed themselves as they relaxed and marveled at the exceptional perfor- mances. Our squads did well. However, as this was varsity’s first year in open class and junior varsity moved up to class A, they did not place. Said one majorette, “With a little more prac- tice and more support, we're sure to come out on top again.” ' Varsity and junior varsity majorettes antici- pate the awards ceremony.

Everyone was too helpful and seemed to be getting in the way. Finally, we got it all together; shoes, stock- ings, my hair, make-up and the gown. As the minutes ticked by, questions flooded my mind; should | bring a pocketbook? Should | wear a jacket? Should | answer the door or stay upstairs and be fashionab- ly late? Before | had time to respond, Dad had already 2:00 Rush Is On answered the door. | took a last look in the mirror then did my best to grace- fully trip downstairs. The rest was a blurr; parents snapping pic- tures, telling us to get “just a bit closer’, the limosine arriving on time and the tailored chauffeur stepping out to open our door. Entering the Lantana, we were welcomed by the faculty. AS we entered the main room, our eyes glan- ced towards familiar faces in unfamiliar clothes. After exchanging compliments and reserving a table, we proceeded toward the glass elevator. Pictures, more pictures, but these were special. Our nerves had calmed slightly yet there were still questions: Would | smile right? Were we standing too close? At last, we were back in the main room. The food had arrived but our nerves had prevented our appetites from surfacing. After dinner, it was time to select the prom Queen and her court. After overcoming the shock, the newly crowned Shannon McAloon and her court took over the dance floor for the traditional Queen-and-Court dance. soon, everyone was boogying away the 1986 Prom. The blend of music, the people and the fun contributed to the memories. Sharing romantic moments are Daniel Pearson, Elizabeth Cullen, John Dumouchel, Robin Achin, Paul Pasquarose and Christine Dufresne.
