Last ear we were extremely fortunate because no members of our swing band were lost, but we gained a few this year. Mr. Linn has willingly given his time and money towards making this year's swing band the best. They have proved invaluable as a resource for good popular mu- sic, and have played at several banquets, plays, etc. Our two high-stepping twirlers, Betty Garver and Carolyn Mauk, have greatly added to the development of the marching band. Tho majorettes have done a magnifi- cent job of leading the band. They have demonstrated their remarkable ability at sev- eral qf the local basketball games and also at Charleston. : . , 1 SWING BAND Row 1: C'zu'nlyu Mm1k,Joyr'Q- lilunk.

Our band is one of the best we have had as a group, and individually the band members have made outstanding advancements. Sev- eral of our best musicians were ap- pointed soloists for the massed band at Casey. The band is under the ex- cellent direction of Mr. Elza Linn while Johnny Richart, Carolyn Mauk, Thelma Carper, and Betty Padgett were elected officers to assist him in his numerous duties. The band has been handicapped at basketball and football games since many of its members were on the team but nev- ertheless made an excellent show- ing. At the annual spring concert all of the band's members were present and did a magnificent job. Thirty

CHEERLEADERS-XVilma Pearce, Thelma Caliper, and Betty Padgett. Cheerleaders Our cheerleaders, Wilma Pearce, Betty Padgett, and Thelma Carper, have done an excellent job leading the cheering sections this year. They were elected the first week of school by the cast and began work immediately on many peppy routines for the games and pep sessions. Betty Garver designed the snappy new cheerleader outfits. They have led the Martinsville fans at home and at our games away from home and have cheered the Bluestreaks on to football and basket- ball victories. Thanks for a job well done! F. F. A.
