THE PACEMAKER 1942 THE MAJORETTES Our growing majorette corps of ten members has easily established itself as the outstanding group of this kind in Western New York. In the Western State Finals Up-school Music Competition at Ham- burg, Shirley Meade and Juline Kinder received a I rating, placing them at the top of all twirlers in this section, while Marilyn Johnson and Beverly Ross were close behind with a 2 rating. We were all familiar with the senior members who had demonstrated their talents before us so many times, but when we found six new members, dressed in their patriotic satin costumes, twirling their batons with all the ease and with nearly as much skill as the senior girls, we were pleasantly surprised. They have made innumerable public appearances at school and public functions, heading the marching band at basketball games and at the first local celebration for draftees going into service. Shirley Meade has been appointed Drum Major, succeeding Arnelia Gould, who left school during the year. THE SEXTETTE This year we are justly proud of our sextette which has contributed much to the musical interests of the school and of Mayville. It was formed by Miss Pierce and the members are: Shirley Meade and Elaine Smathers as first sopranosg Nancy Brumagim and Beverly Haskin, second sopranosg and Gail Parker and Margaret Renner as altos. They have sung at various churches all over the county, for the Tuesday Club, and, of course, at our assemblies. At the festival at Hamburg they competed and scored a rating of two. THE CHORUS Rich, young voices. Perfect harmony. Lovely music. That is what the mixed chorus of fifty-five members represents. Under the direction of Miss Pierce, they have given us many splendid performances. We have all heard their lovely music in assemblies. The public was invited to hear them at the Christmas Candlelight Service, at the Easter religious service, and at the Memorial Day services. This year the chorus sang at Hamburg at the music festival, but they did not compete with the other schools, therefore they received no rating.
