In 1952 our family moved back to Comanche, where my dad was born. He became the Comanche High School Band director. Of course I continued in the band playing flute.
But in the marching band I wore a uniform with a short pleated skirt and carried a white fake rifle, in what was called the "Color Guard."
The three girls in the picture below are showing off their band letter jackets. Left to right: Patsy Atwood, Quay Williams, and Becky Baxter.
