Entertainment for the football and basketball fans was provided by tfie pom pon squad and the band . . . but this year it was a little different. The dedicated girls who made up the squad practiced before and after school to perfect this year ' s new style of quick steps and more movements. Miss Kniesley was the new moderator of the squad. Along with the new moderator and the new style came a new name. At the be- ginning of the school year, a contest was held and the girls chose the name Knightengals for their squad. The Knightengals also marched in the local Christmas pa- rade with the band. The band also had a new director, Mr. Arthur Combs came from New Jersey to take the job. He started practicing with the band members in mid-August. With help from the eighth grade band students, the group looked sharp when it per- formed. Aside from playing for the home football and basketball games, the band also marched in the Christmas parade. On De- cember 17th, they combined with the chorus and put on a Christmas concert. This year Mr. Combs and Miss Kneisley brought fresh ideas to the band program. With their help, the program developed and became better.
