Tryouts, semi-finals, finals . . . suddenly the new majorettes, lettergirls and kilties were ap- proaching a most exciting year. Four sylph-like lettergirls displayed the G, W, H, and S in all parades to let the crowds know that the GW Band was to follow. Then came strutting majorettes capturing the crowd’s attention with baton-twirling feats. After the band, the Kiltie Korps performed, dressed in Scotch plaids and boasting intricate steps and twirling. Numerous practices, disappointments and sat- isfactions of being a majorette, kiltie or letter- girl were not always known to bystanders, but their final performance was a colorful asset to the school. DROOPY POMPOMS AND aching feet characterize these marching Kilties after all their time “on the road.” 20 Struttin’ Majorettes, Kilties, Lettergirls VARSITY MAJORETTES PAUSE between parades. Betsy Harris, Kay Jones, Head Nancye Scearce, Judy Clayton, and Pat Gammon smile through chattering teeth. EXPRESSING VARIED EMOTIONS during the Lane game (mostly teary ones!) are Pat Perry, Beth Brown, Leslie Waugh.

Julius Bowles is completely disinterested. EARLY PRACTICE CALLS band members to a dress rehearsal on the field. Add Beauty, Skill, to Band Performances LOST IN THE world of oboes, Joey Edwards resembles a caterpillar smoking his hooka on a mushroom. (Refer to Alice in Wonderland) TAKING PRECEDENCE OVER everything in the grandstands, GW lettergirls — Leslie Waugh, Beth Brown, Pat Perry and Nancy Jarvis — enjoy being “tops”.
