The majorettes came out in brand-new uniforms this year--dazzling three piece all-weather outfits which could be mixed and matched to suit the occasion. The costumes, including hats, were purchased by the Benton Band Boosters for the twirlers. The group of twirlers is made up of Elizabeth Schardin, Miriam Luschen, Faye Tellinghuisen, Audrey Herschberger, Faye Sears, Gayle Trautman, and Marlys Monahan, Appearances were made at all marching band exhibitions, the Tri-State band festival twirling competition, and at basketball games at home. They,too, d ma e an appearance at Balaton as guest twirlers of that school. The group gave exceptionally good performances at the 1955 and 1956 District 9 basketball tournaments and also the Region 3 tournament held at St. Peter in 1955. Majorettes Band Officers Phyllis Hanson, Secretary-Treasurer, and Lloyd Thorson, President, make sweet music with the highest and lowest instruments used in the band, a flute and the new bass clarinet pur- chased for the band just this year. Also new are the bell lyre shown by Norman Sears, student council representative, and the baritone--one of two purchases--held by Walter Soderlind who is Vice-Fresident of the band. Marilyn Johnson, a most comely and agile drum major, listens tentatively to some of the low notes. walter, somehow, finds the harmony doubtful!
