JANUARY 17, 1969
By Mary Williams
This year anew andsensationa
organization has appeared or
campus - The West Georgia Col
lege Majorette Corps.
There are six regular twirlers
and one alternate. The girls who
perform are as follows:Caroline
Strickland, Chris Somners, Kath
leen Graves, Diane Morgret,
Kathy Fuller, Amy Slade, and
Mary Williams, (alternate).
For many years, girls have been
interested in twirling for WGC but
there never seemed to be enough
interest to get a corps started.
This year these freshmen girls
saw the need for a twirling corps
at West Georgia College, so they
got together to perform.
NEW UNIFORMS
All during the fall quarter the
girls twirled in solid sequin uni
forms that they borrowed from
other twirlers, but during the
Christmas Holidays their new
uniforms arrived.
For the first time, on January
10, 1969, at the WGC vs. South
western basketball game the girls
donned their new uniforms for all
the fans to see. The uniforms are
of a red, white and blue sequin
These flashy twirlers use an
assortment of music from “Peter
Gunn,” “Everybody Loves My
Baby” to “Java.” The girls have
plans to use streamers, hoops,
balloons, two batons and flags in
their future routines, so as to
show the students at WGC the
many and varied techniques of
twirling.
TWIRL AT BERRY
On Tuesday, January 14, 1969,
the girls donned their new uni
forms, tennis shoes and batons,
and took a quick hop over to Berry
College, in Rome, Georgia, to
twirl at the game. By twirling at
this g ame, the girls hope to go on
to twirl at other colleges.
The twirling experience of the
girls goes back several years.
Caroline Strickland, who hails
from East Point, Georgia, has
been twirling for seven years.
Mary Williams is from Atlanta,
Georgia and has been twirling for
five years.
Chris Somners, who is from
Hapeville, Georgia has been
twirling for ten years. Chris also
has charge of the Hapeville Jun
ior Twirlers and will perform
with them at WGC on February
8, 1969. Kathleen Graves, with
four years experience comes
from Clarkston, Georgia. Cathy
Fuller, with six years ex
perience, hails from Carrollton,
Georgia. Diane Morgret, who at
tended Avondale High School in
Atlanta, has been twirling for
four years.
Amy Slade has been twirling for
eight years and hails from Rome,
Georgia. Amy is known among the
girls as a quick change artist be
cause she is also a member of the
Bravettes.
In the future the majorettes plan
to twirl at all of the home games.
They also hope to be invited to
other colleges to perform. The
girls are working on a special
routine for Homecoming which
will take place on January 25,
1969.
