Twirling Trio Adds Character to Halftime Shows With Gwen Bazan as head, the Tabb High Maiorettes participated in football games and parades, adding color and sparkle to the Tiger Band. Many days were spent after schtxil as Gwen, with the help of Mrs. Ford (sponsor), worked up new and varied routines. Karen Markoff, Jackie Adams, and Gwen Bazan were kept on their toes throughout the year, bustling to games, pep rallies, and parades. Next year the squad will have a hard place to fill with Gwen’s departure to Florida. Gwen manages ro keep a smile going along with her fire baton. Karen Markoff seems to be in deep concentration. v; MAJORKTTFS
