G14 GW by John L. Sullivan The ninetyfpiece Wyandotte band is seated on the stage as if ready to play a concert. Bigger and better than ever, the band, under Director G. Lewis Doll, has marched before the crowded stadium many times this year. The dapper drum major, Harold Smith, has led this organization through many intricate formations, and the classy streamlined majorettes have dazzled the crowd with their high stepping and baton twirling. The band is always on the alert for new ideas to enf tertain the crowds between halves at the football games. Among the innovations this fall the majorettes were chief. Ten of them-Betty Postlethwaite, Marva Lee Isle, Edith Miller, Virginia Cook, Margie De Rousse, Rita Neugef bauer, Anna Lee Weeks, Jacqueline Tyler, Marnette Gil' bert, and Sonia Pankewich-marched ahead of the band. Another one, miniature in size and nicknamed 'hPickles did her share. She is Diane Koenig, 4fyearfold sister of June Koenig, a senior. Another new feature was the flag swinging, an old Swiss art. To the tune of Let Me Call You Sweet' heart Harold Smith, Vernon Sloan, and Alan Martinek twirled the red and white flags. Other features were the firefbaton, the mascot, and many difficult maneuvers. The band members are as follows: CLARINETS-Marian Aldridge, John Bernard, Hazel Compton, Lee Gable. Winifred Gray, Helen Grim. Vernon Hall. Pauline Herndon. Lilbourne Jagers, Robert Laskey, Glen Mclntire. Ev' erett Melvin.
