MAJORETTES MAJORETTES MAJORETTES To be a part of the majorette squad, much time and practice is put in during the summer before school begins and also practice daily after school during the fall. The girls are sponsored by Mrs. Carita Walker. Majorettes add a little something extra to the half-time routine by twirling their batons and doing their dance routines. Not everyone can twirl a baton. That is why only the most talented are chosen to represent Northside. The girls make it seem so easy to twirl a baton, but dropping the baton is easier if one does not have the coordination. Anytime there is a group, everyone's cooperation is needed in order for the group's effort to work suc- cessfully. There are always problems to work out, but a group with close relations can pull through. By watching the girls perform during the football season, it is evident that they have a good working relationship. The majorettes march down Watson Blvd. ahead of the band during the Christmas parade Majorettes, Kristi White and Leslie Owens, are a familiar part of the daily practices that are held after school A dedicated person with a “nack” for organization is needed to keep everything running smoothly; that is manager Brandi Barfield’s job 110 Majorettes

The Prayer Club, which is sponsored by Mrs. Ellen Strait, meets every Tuesday in room 28. This year the club has had many guest speakers come and either speak to the group or sing for them. The guest speakers are sometimes ministers from the local community or former students who attended Northside. The speakers represent dif- ferent denominational groups. The club is open to any interested student who wants to come to the Tuesday meetings. The meetings are usually well attended, and some of the meetings have even been held in the cafeteria or in the chorus room because of overflow crowds. One of the projects of the club this year has been to visit the nursing homes at Christmas time.
