B Hats off to Kathye. Kathye August. TWIRLERS SET PACE FOR BAND MUSIC Some of the biggest contributions to half time enter- tainment were made by the twirlers under the leader- ship of Majorette Kathye August and the guidance of Mrs. Kurek. The routines of this year's squad were marked by the creativity, imagination and skill that is a tradition at S.P.F.H.S. At the bonfire pep rally, the five seniors astonished everyone with their spectacular fire twirling routine. Proceeds from their candy sale were used to buy new uniforms and the fire batons. Aside from football, the twirlers are involved in other activities such as the Halloween, Memorial, and Little League parades, the annual Bandtasia, and state- wide twirling competitions. As the seniors gave up their places on the squad there was a feeling of satisfaction for a job well done but there were also tears at the exodus. The freezing fingers at the games, the singed hair, the time spent sewing uniforms, the hours of practice . . . the unforget- table memories of '69. Beth Bishop prepares to roast marshmallows at the bonfire pep rally.

CGLDR GUARD INCREASES MEMBERSHIP Spectators at the football games were amazed at the expansion of this year's Color Guard squad, which included seventeen girls. Despite the difficulties of handling such a large group, its officers presented new and skilled routines at every game. The Color Guard performed at half-time and pre- sented the colors at pre-game. In addition, the girls presented their routines at pep rallies and the Hallo- ween and Memorial Day parades. Money for the uniforms and guns was raised by selling candy, sponsoring a dance, and participating in the Carnival Dance. Additional funds were spent on the Annual Officer's Dinner which was held at Wally's, where the new captain and lieutenants were the guests of honor. Under the new advisor, Miss Curti, members were chosen by tryouts. Next year's squad was reduced to twelve members for even greater manageability. Just because I wanted to use real bullets!
