After a field of muddy and broad- shouldered males the talented baton-twirlers, dressed feven on the frostiest of eveningsl in short and sweet red outfits, provided a very pleasant interlude. Pat Morrison, Dixie Thor- son, Vickie Conner, and Susan Pollack demonstrated their nimble-fingered ability at each of Wilson's Tacoma football games and hoop battles. Aided by their pint-sized understudy Debbie Anderson, our majorettes presented many Well- practiced routines, one of the most noteworthy involved special lighted batons which created a spectacular effect in the dimly lighted gym.
