K THE MAJORETTES THE HIGHLIGHTS OF HALFTIME VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Our cheerleaders Cleft to rightj G Pretty m n M Bulgrin M Yakubik B McCle en have leaped and shouted their way Through many exciting games They have taught us new cheers in pre game pep assemblies bolstered the spirit of both the football and basketball teams and showed the same enthusiasm win or lose Each year as the two new varsity members are chosen excitement reigns and hearts beat anxiously. To fill the shoes of former varsity leaders is a task many girls would be willing to undertake. The cheerleaders are actually am- bassadors of good will from Coventry and we are proud of the courtesy they have extended to visiting schools and their cheering sections. We hope that the same winning school spirit that has been a part of Coventry in the past years as shown in the student body, the cheerleaders, and the teams, will continue to shine through in the future. MAJORETTES Our dancing malorettes have been the icing on the cake for the T954 edition of the Marching Band They are left to rightj K Pav kov S Vale N Spurgeon J Santschi J Irvin S DeMita ancll Kelfer Their desire to be individuals motivated their request to be named The Comettes hoping to set a precedent and tradition for fu ture high stepping hopefuls The season opened with the clash of the fanfare that set the pace for their twirls and swirls as they made their way down the cleat- marked field. The cheers of the fans parents and stu- dent body alike inspired them to give their many precisioned performances. Since their clever adaptation of Rosalie and Muskrat Ram- ble were particular favorites of the student body, the numbers were repeated several times. We know that tears were shed by the sen- ior members who participated in the recognition service of the year's final game. 17

Going through the intricate marching routines while trying to concentrate on scads of snappy music means hours of work for Coventry's diligent band members. Long before school opens, we see these musi- cal maestros trailing to the football field to begin their new season of music and marches. Those first rehearsals are always discouraging as the lines weave in snake-like curves, and the horns blow out flat, sours notes. As time goes on, however, we begin to notice a remarkable improvement in the entire appearance of the band. The lines straighten, the horns blow in harmony, the steps begin to fit the music, and by the time football season rolls around, Mr. Herron has once more turned out a championship band.
