MAJORETTES (kneeling) Vice President Lori Pilla, President Ann Kamataris, Secretary Michelle Robichaud, Treasurer Bernie Thompson, (stan- ding) Marybeth Thompson, Kay McCarthy, Crystal Martin, Cathy Messina, Kim Pacheco, Patty Sylvia. Ann dances to music. Sue parades. Working closely with the band, and under the direction of Mr. Marotta, the Majorettes twirled through the football season, rarely missing a baton. Much of their success lies in traditions, for between hard work at practices, games, and parades, the group enjoys “Rookie” Day, when all the new girls wear bibs during school, and the annual ban- quet at the Flume. Bernie shows concern. Carrying guns, flags and the high school banner, the Color Guard is an integral part of the half-time festivities. Led by Mesdames Dutra and Costa, the girls made the in- tricate look easy as they expertly performed maneuvers practiced throughout the summer, and per- fected by weekly drill. From the ban- ner back, the group set the pace for precision with flair. Girls take pre-half-time warm-up. Majorettes take field. 15

Cheerleaders VARSITY SQUAD (front) Anne Munson, Terri Murray, Laurie Rebello, Karol Swift; (standing) Kathy Rodenhizer, Laurel Vidal, Paula Carlson, Sue Durkin, Lauren Trotto, Liz Kenney. Tension mounts again. Ease on down the the road. Go Falmouth, Beat Barnstable! Captains Terri Murray and Laurie Rebello led the FHS Varsity Cheerleaders through eight losing football games with continuous spirit and never-ending optimism. Their efforts were rewarded, though, with the climactic victories over D-Y and Barnstable. The rest of the season was dedicated to Soccer, Bake Sales, Car Washes, Clipper Buttons, and simply having a good time. Mascot mimics captain. 14

Inside, seventy-some musi- cians danced under the direction of “Disco” Dennis Marotta, bellowing, “Get your knees up!” The FHS Marching Band survived the problems of inexperience and the lack of transportation funds, and provided the football games with im- pressive marching formations, ever changing tunes, and prime enter- tainment. Heidi and Debie lead off! NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYERS Michelle Robichaud, Fred Thrasher. Go Phil, Blow Phil! Karin toots her heart out! 16
