Majorettes sfffwo M STANDINGll6fY YO fighil- Sarah Hook, Judy Powell, Sally Bowman, Kay Johnson, and Kathy McCarnes. KNEELING: Nancy Kissinger, Frances Kissinger, and Donna Gabby. Highlighting the half-time shows during football season were the Dancing Maiorettes under the direction of Drum Maior, Frances Kissinger. The eight girls who comprise the twirling group performed their dance routines with such spirit and animation that it looked like pure fun. However, a great deal of hard work went into the perfection of each show. Some of the maiorettes began to prepare for their dancing and twirling displays last summer by attending baton twirling camp. During marching season, the maiorettes attended band rehearsals regularly where they developed their routines, many of which were original. The maiorettes did not limit their practice to school hours but could often be found hard at work after everyone else had left for home or Hig- gens, They can feel sure that their effort was rewarded, for the entertaining displays put on by the Dancing Maiorettes are among everyone's most pleasant high school memories. 24
