Nancy and Lynne are hard at work at the town library this Spring finding interesting things about the class of 1957. I actually remember this one because I had the newspaper article in my scrap book years ago. The note under the photo says six of the girls would be picked for the fall of 1954. So I checked the 1955 yearbook and found a photo of the marching band majorettes lead by main majorette, Gayle O. Others were: Barbara N., Jane K., Mary Ann M. (not in the above photo), Wilma W., and Salley O. Baton twirling is pretty athletic, and MMHS most famous athlete, Salley, is the only one in our class that made the cut that year. The following year (fall of 1955), again, Salley was the only one from our class along with 3 freshmen and two seniors. In our senior year (fall of 1956), again, only Salley.
I'm happy to report that Lynne is up and around after some serious health set backs, and is again walking and checking on our class tree on the campus which appears to have survived a pretty tough winter.

My mom was not keen on baton twirling. I had just had braces put on my teeth and she worried so about me knocking out a tooth! I was not very good and it didn't take much on her part to get me to give it up. Not long after a neighbor girl DID damage a fromt tooth,it was unsightly dark for years,while praticing with her baton!( She is a cousin of Norma's) There are times I am glad I listened to my mom...this was surely one of them.

Murray sez:
In today's world you may be required to have a mouthpiece, safety glasses and a helmet in order to be a baton twirler!
