To The Ear” This musical organization adds much gaiety to the ball game. During football season they always have special formations to do on the football field, and during basketball season either the majorettes, feature twirleis, or flag twirlers present fascinating half-time shows. El wood High School is very fortunate to have such a skillful director as Mr. Clifford Brugger. He spends much of his extra time with this group. The musical interest of our students is bolstered by tills fine organization. Mr. Clifford S. Brugger, Director

Fantasy In Twirling In order to bring more color and zest into the Panther Band, three auxiliary units have become standard equipment. These talented groups are the majorettes, flag twirlers, and four lovely feature twirlers. Each of these units work hard during the entire year to present precision routines while performing with the band. It is also their duty to produce fascinating half-time shows at the basketball games which will be of interest to all of the sports fans. The girls are chosen on a basis of grace, presentation, and ability and are given an opportunity to work their way up through the flag corps to a majorette. These enchanting performers give our school good reason to be proud of them.
