That’s showbiz! It’s in the blood When sophomore head Rangcrcttc manager Kerry Martin says Rangerettes arc in his blood, he means it. A time period spanning thirty-nine years, off and on, has included several members of his family in the Rangerette program. Kerry’s great aunt, Helen Tackett Bullock, was the first to start this family “tradition.” Diane Kane, Kerry’s mother, was a 1962-63 ’Rette before she married and moved away. The last Rangerette was an aunt, Pam Wilkins, who was a 1967-69 Rangerette. All are in Rangerettes Forever, a group made up of ex-Rangerettes from as early as 1940 and as late as last year. Females aren’t the only ones involved with the famous drill team in the Martin family. Billy Owens, Kerry’s grandfather shares some of the credit. To set the record straight, Owens is not a ’Rette, but he builds the props for them. He is employed by Kilgore College and is a carpenter for Maintenance. He even built the eight-foot oil derricks the troupe used at this year’s Homecoming “After the Gold. ” When asked why he wanted to be a Rangerette manager, Kerry replied that another manager, Dwayne Mapes, inspired him. Another reason is that he has been going to KC football games and Revels to watch them perform ever since he can remember. He even saw his aunt perform. Besides, “my mom is one hundred percent Rangcrcttc,” laughs the marketing major. “She cried when she saw my car outside the building after I made manager!” Rangerette managers are responsible for taking care of props, sound equipment, and slight injuries such as pulled muscles. There are five managers. Each is in charge of twelve girls. The head manager is in charge of the officers and Mrs. Bolton, director of the Rangerettes. In order to become a manager, an application must be filled out and the applicant must have an adequate GPA. Also, a personal interview with Bolton is required. The freshman ’Rcttcs choose the managers for the coming year, -by Kelli Vance Mason, Darrell K. Kilgore Mason, Denise K. Tyler Mason, Jennifer L. Garland Mason. Lance Alan Longview1 Mason. Suzy R.
