At present the Cavalettes know two routines, The Bill Board March and The Cavalier Fight Song. By the end of this year they hope to know a total of twelve routines. It takes a while to leam the dance steps, drills and commands used in executing a routine.

When the march Is a ed, though, It's something magnificent to watch. FEW PEOPLE realize the time and effort these girls put forth on the team. On the average, they practice eight hours a week. This does not include the extra practices involved In learning a new routine or preparation for a special game or event. The girls also made their own uniforms, which certainly took a great deal of time.

THE TWO co-captains, Jenny Dewey of Marian and Barbara Hays of Regina, have the responsibilities of giving the commands during the show. According to all concerned, the future of the Cavalettes look promising. Plans are already being made for the continuance next year. Right now they are in the process of doubling their size. Any girls from the previously mentioned schools, as well as Ursuline Academy are invited to try out.

The Cavalettes have definitely added something new to Purcell, something that will not be lost or forgotten in the years to come. Bill Knight, a senior and member of the band summed it up this way, "Band rehearsals aren't nearly as boring as they used to be!" Of Purcell Reactions were mixed recently when Purcell High School's newly formed all-girl drill team made Its first public appearance. To the alumni It was something that they never dreamed of. To the team, well, there were more Important things to considered at the moment. To the all-male student body It was a welcome relief.

Marching proudly down the field in front of Pur-cell's band, the Cavalettes moved with ease and poise, simultane ously going through marches and drills, thus beginning their first season. They began at no better time than at Purcell's first football game of the season. THE IDEA OF a all-girl drill team Is not new. But for Purcell, and all-boy school, the Idea was revolutionary. The idea first came In to play last spring.

Purcell's band was planning a trip to Colorado to preform In the Pike's Peak or Bust Rodeo. Someone suggested the school should form a drill team to add some color to the band. Frank Dowd, the band director, got the Idea moving. He contacted Mrs. Jane McClure and her daughter, Nancy Johns both of McClure Dance Studios to set up plans.

They volunteered their time and talent. At first it was difficult to get the ball rolling. Finally though, 45 girls from Marian, Reglna, Summit and Urusula volunteered. The girls were first to attend five clinics. There they learned certain steps, commands and marches.

On our cover For the first time In the history of Purcell High School, an all-girl drill team has been formed. Six of the pretty Cavclettes are on today's cover, but there are 19 in alL Cocaptains Barbara Hayes of Regina and Ginny Dewey of Marian are shown in front, while Leslie Davis of Regina and Patti Healy of Marian are alongside. In the rear are Candi Schutte of the Summit and Anne Gleisinger of St. Ursula Academy. Be sure to read Jim Hcaly's story here about the new troupe, and look for the girls at Purcell's next football game! Our cover photo is by Gerry Wolter.

mmmmmmmmmmmmma When It finally came time for the actual Judging, only 27 of the girls were left. The girls were Judged on a point system on two separate occassions. The points were compiled and the top 19 girls chosen. THEN BEGAN THE long gruelling hours of drills and marching exercises in preparation for the Colorado trip and also for the present year. Eleven of the Cavalettes accompanied the band on the trip, but at the rodeo they were told they could not march because of muddy conditions.

The girls, however, were determined to perform at the rodeo, mud or not. Their determination was so great they marched and drilled in ankle deep mud, and were applauded hardily for it. The style the girls use is based some what on the style of the U. C. Bear Kittens.
