'This year Mr. Douglas was a new addition to the Norton High faculty. Formerly the director of an Army band, Mr. Douglas became the di- rector of Norton High's marching band. He introduced new marching drills and many new songs. XVe must congratulate Mr. Douglas for a job well done. He has done fine work the first year in a new school with new students. MARCHIN G BAND This year the members of the band received new uniforms which are unique in that the coat can be worn in four different styles. Mr. Doug- las, who was new to Norton this year, took over as band director. The band did a great deal of work in preparing for their three concerts which were given in the high school auditorium. The band also marched in several parades, including the Cherry Blossom and Memorial Day Parades. XVhen our band went to district contests it al- ways brought home collective and individual honors. The biggest job the band has is to provide entertainment at half-time during football games. This year we watched new marching drills and formations.

L At every football game the majorettes lead Norton High's marching band down the field before the game begins and after it is over. During the halftime they provide entertain- ment along with the band. This year new twirling routines and new dances made pleas- ant viewing. Ellen learned to twirl fire and gave a wonderful performance during the last home game. The girls spent many hours practicing to perfect their routines so they would give their best performances on the field. A majorette's job is not always a glor- ious one. They have rugged practice sessions and must march and twirl in all types of weather. All majorettes are also members of the band and play in the concert band after football season. Ellen marched as head ma- jorette this year. This is her second year as a majorette. ,ml t . fs. ' 1 - S 'H Q 4' 'wi.,,q.m C Wi m n 4 G. Gross
