These words were probably the most fre- quent five words the Majorettes heard this year. lt seems they had to keep smiling no matter what-even if their baton took a dive into the stands, they had to keep smiling like nothing hap- pened. Luckily. no batons took a trip to the stands so it was easy to smile. This year there were nine major- ettes and Maureen Cragon served as head majorette for a second year. The three new members of the squad, Eliz- abeth Balcolmb, Carmella Christian. and Sherri Sullivan were all incoming I4f Student Life freshmen. There were many surprises in store for them, like having to learn how to twirl a flag. and how to use circles and swing flags. The other ma- jorettes, Carla Bee, Ramona Chapman. Betsy Cragon, Maureen Cragon, Dawn Laveck, and Stephanie Ray had been through all of that before and knew what to expect. The majorettes spent most of the summer practicing and raising money. They had carwashes and egg drives which helped to fund their new pre- game and in-school uniforms. 5 rf waz.
