The Rabettes, one of the most outstanding and under- publicized organizations ot Mesa High, have helped to sustain and increase school spirit by rendering constant service. Since its foundation, in 'l93l, it has grown to include one hundred and tour enthusiastic members. Although the name of the squad has been changed three times, its quality and undying spirit to serve has not altered. They have done a grand iob in promoting community interest and have added halt-time color to our football games. The group now consists of three main divisions: the marchers, the twirlers, and the ropers. The twirlers and ropers with their shiny batons and spinning lariats certainly help to make the organization outstanding.

Water is also responsible for many of nature's marvelous miracles. Steep canyon walls and arches are etched by its important chemicals.

Their precision and timing show this to be true, as does the fact that they have attained state- wide fame for their highstepping and snappy formations. Each year the Rabbettes take part in many community activities and are widely known for their intricate but beauti- ful formations. The world famous championship Rodeo and the annual State Fair held in Phoenix and the equally famous Citrus Show and the Rawhide Roundup held in Mesa are lout a few of the parades in which they participate.
