Smiling Royalettes March Through Busy Year Unlike most organizations at King, the Royalettes started the school year during the summer months as they attended a work- shop and continued to practice every after- noon. A spaghetti supper held in the spring of 1970 and the selling of green jerseys was the start of the drill team ' s money making projects. A two-day car wash held in June also added to their funds. After many hours of practice, the Roya- lettes kicked off the football season by performing a high kick routine during their first half-time show. Their later perform- ances were highlighted by colorful routines using beach balls and umbrellas. Football season came to a close as every Royalette presented a scrapbook to each member of the varsity Sfjuad. Spirit posters were placed on the indi- vidual lockers of the varsity basketball team. The drill team also planned on preparing scrapbooks for the green-and-white cagers. The Royalettes also took part in several favorite football routines at the grand open- ing of the I ' adre-.Staples Mall. They contin- ued their activities by serving as usherettes at r4- i: fills, the State Teacher ' s Convention and at local PTA meetings. Mrs. Kathy Burdette sponsored the drill team, while Jay Knox and Stan Fox served as managers. They assisted the girls in such matters as the application of lipstick and the moving of benches from the sidelines. Top: With their biggest siniles tlie Royalettes leave the field.
