Majorettes This school year there has been an added attraction at all our football games, the Majorettes. The spectators have been thrilled in watching this trim, snappy group perform their intricate stunts. The Nlajorettes had a busy yearg for, besides having a dance in October, they entertained at one of the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion meetings by demonstrating their twirling ability to an appreciative audience. A few of the Majorettes also had the privilege of twirling at the Gene Autry Rodeo at the Boston Garden. Many parades have been graced with their presence. At present, many ambitious candidates are striving for the coveted title of Major- ette. an 'ilk '3 5 'N82 f3,f'5 3 .oi '?
