Ioyce Gilpatriclc, a freshman, joined us during basketball season. We put on a dance at the end of football season to go toward megaphones or new uniforms for next year. We have enjoyed cheering for our team and, though we will be losing two of our membersjwe hope next year to have as successful a year as this has been. GEORGIA MOELLER Mr. Somerville: 'SHeavens!

Around: Marita Hinkley, Louise Pushard, Carolyn Bishop, Patricia McDermott, Charlotte Hurley, Jeanne Meserve, Donna Marriner Center: Cleo Hinkley Moiorettes Eight majorcttes started training during August and took lessons up until the last of September, under he direction of Mrs. Stanley Brown of Gardiner. Small batons were furnished by Mr. Whitten for us to practice with, and later we bought larger ones. Our uniforms were given to us by the Sanford Band, and we bought our own boots. Our first public appearance was at the Teacheris Re- ception, where we all showed some signs of nervousness. Our second appearance was at the Oakland-Richmond football game where the whole group showed a little improvement, but still we were nervous. From then on, we appeared fre- quently, with the band, for different school times, and town organizations. In Ianuary, Gretchen Hodgkins joined us, which made three majorettes from the Emerson School, and six from the high school. Things began going full swing in March, and we hope we have helped in the appearance of the band. Next year perhaps we can get someone to teach us to twirl faster and better, so that we may accomplish twice as much as we did this year. PATRICIA MCDERMOTT '53 Page Forty-two
