'San- xf A-J' 'lbs It takes a lot of practice and poise to twirl and toss hatnns that well The practicing every Monday, Tuesday, and Thurs- day, and at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday before the games, paid off as the Twirlers pranced through the football and basketball seasons pleasing the crowds at both the games and pep sessions. All of the formations used by the Tigerettes were devised by Mr. Stodclen and Joyce Snolce, maiorette. For the Twirlers it is not all work but also the fun at the meetings. Also this year they shared a dance, Treble Cleft Twirl, with the Band and Choir. The big event cf the year was their picnic at Sweeney Park May i9.
