X i x W-ti X Starting the 1964 1965 season the West Muskingum Marching Band had a new squad of majorettes. This squad consisted of Shirley Porter, Susan Hayes Dedi Russi Rhonda Guerin, and Martha The West Muskin- gum Band also had a new drum major for the 1964-1965 season. This young man's name is Jeff Kendall. We think that although it was Jeff's first year as drum major, that he has done an outstand- ing job of leading the band in the many varied activities that they have participat- ed in during the 1964- 1965 season. , ' , x is Glass.

This group is composed of a representa- tive from each class, officers, drum major, and head majorette. The chief responsibility of the council is to make a code of ethics for the band to follow. Monthly meetings are held to discuss any problems that have occured and also to make future plans to raise funds. The West Muskingum Hand appeared at many of the football games which added to the excitement of the festivities. 51
