But long hours of practicing routines go into the special dances such as Fancy Pants, which was done at the Homecoming Pep Assembly. Behind all the glory and sharp uniforms are hot summer practices, the long after school practices, and the cold night games. Pre-game and half-time shows were certainly enhanced by the maneuvers of the Spartan Maiorettes.

They gave a fine performance at the Spring Concert in addition to performing at the opening ceremonies of the New England School and at the Christmas Program. This year the Orchestra was able to send three of its members, Susan Talaga, Barbara Walker, and Ray Griffiths to the District Orchestra Festivities which IIO were held at Baldwin High School. These students spent three days preparing for a program presented through the combined efforts of selected musicians from schools in surrounding districts. The South High Orchestra hopes to send more of its members next year to participate in District Orchestra, a truly wonderful musical experience. With only two graduating seniors and the prospects of more interested musicians, the orchestra looks for- ward to a promising season next year.

The color and excitement of a good football game isn't complete without a half time show. As South High's or- ganized, hard-working team leaves the field, another group of hard workers comes on. This is the Spartan Drill Team, under the able supervision of Miss Patricia Heckel. Their iob is to entertain the roaring, cheering Spartan fans with a show equal to the performance of the football team. After an exciting first half, the fans want action in the half time show, and these twenty-four smiling girls give it iust that. The Drill Team's iob isn't an easy one. Working in the summer with the band and maiorettes, they learn preci- sion marching routines. Not only do they add color to the games, but to the pep assemblies as well. From the beat- ing strains of Granada, to the melodious Blue Spanish Eyes, the performances of the Drill Team will long be remembered as part of the exciting Undefeated Season of '66. Q lI2
