Leading the Panther Band in brilliant array this year were the eight high-stepping majorettes. These girls, under head majorette Barbara Altasman, spent much time and effort striving to achieve precision. The advanced skills acquired from this practice were not demonstrated only before the cheering crowds of a parade but also before the attentive audience of the Fall and Spring concerts. Two of the majorettes won special recognition in the INBTA twirling contest. Barbara Altsman was awarded the title of Miss Personality of Beaver County. In addition to that honor, she won first place trophies in fire and duet twirling. Patti Martin also received a first place trophy in duet twirling class.
