Football half times, parades, pep rallies engage new Tigerette drill team in busy schedule For the newly formed Tigerette drill team, girls tried out three months in advance. Tryouts consisted of march- ing skills, an original composition and a basic routine taught by the songleaders. During the rigorous summer training, the Tigerettes designed their uniforms and began learning their basic marching skills. Pre game shows consisted of forming the traditional spirit stick, which displayed the graduating year of the class winning the competition yell. Miniature stars and crepe paper streamers accented the formation of the United States flag during a special half time show dedi- cated to all American service men. At the Cal Poly band day the Tigerettes gave their portrayal of the famous Rockettes in the formation of Radio City Music Hall. In rendering service to their school, the Tigerettes acted as guides for parents during the fall open house. The Tigerettes assisted with the tryouts and then spring training of the new drill team candidates to assure a special seventh period class next year. Miss Carnell, faculty adviser, organized the drill team. DRILL TEAM-FRONT ROW: Patti Fryer, D'Anne Gallagher, lieutenant Pat Mallory, captain, Kathy Whitmer, lieutenant, Lily Magnia.
