Majorettes ima jer-etlj, n. the marching leaders of the band, usually performing drills or routines with a baton. This year, as in the past, those who attended Palmyra's football games were treated to excellent perform- ances by the band. Helping to make the weekly shows even more enjoy- able were the majorettes. Each Sat- urday they performed their intricate routines, exhibiting their talents at strutting, marching and flag twirling. This year the head majorette, Judy Koehler, and captain, Carol Smith, were both seniors, with the line com- posed of two seniors, four juniors and two sophomores. Their skillful twirling and snappy steps make the majorettes a big at- traction in all of the band's shows. Judy C arol Carole C3.I'O1 Judy Donna

Choir Ckwirl, n. an organized company of singers who perform in concert, often to the accompaniment of a piano. The blending of voices in accompaniment to the rich tones of an orchestra is one of the most beautiful sounds, especially when performed by the choir and orchestra in their annual Christ- mas Concert. The A Capella group, a small ensemble choir is com- posed entirely of members of the regular choir. For their presenta- tion they sang several Christmas classics, such as Silent Night and Wassail. Its Christmas Concert over, the choir settled down to prepare for the spring concert. During this time, five members of the special chorus and eight hundred students from other high schools through- out the state participated in the New Jersey Operetta Workshop. Members of the choir also attended an opera given by the Trenton State College Choir, and a series of concerts by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra in the Academy of Music. With the advent of spring, the choir and orchestra sponsored their annual Spring Concert. In a varied program, under the leader- ship of their new director, Mrs, Rosalind Levinson, they presented music which seemed to express the fresh sounds of spring, thus marking the end of the 1965 choir season.
