0? 'P 5 2 5 ws. Anna one, anna two, anna three! The WOHS band practiced this fall under the direction of Mr. Harold Coo- per to prepare their football half-time performances. The hard work payed off with a superior rating in the Class A competition at the l978-79 Marching Contest held in No- vember. Band boosters also participated a great deal dur- ing the marching season. Plants and notecards were sold and added to money obtained from concession stand sales. These funds were used to purchase new instru- ments, uniforms, and transportation for the band to and from games.

And he e e ere s our very own RockettesI West Orange's cast of twenty-four dancing dolls helped make half-times and pep rallies more exciting and enjoyable then ever. Through use of innovative new routines such as the kneeling side-kick and different march- ing techniques, the l978-79 Drill Team created its own personal identity. Headed by Captain Lisa Charles and Co-Captains Shelly Rogers and Diana Buffing- ton, the team developed its own routines and went on to obtain a superior rating in the District Marching Contest held at Apopka High School. Their pro- fessionalism adds a touch of class to our film. I, Drill Team QI. to nb: Kim Guernsey.
