DEVINE TWIRLERS TO BE HONORED AT DExSTA HOMECOMING on Saturday, October 14th at the VFW

1960-61 Devine High School Majorettes From the 1961 yearbook: Darlene Davis, Barbara Driscoll, Molly Griffin, Rosa Tellez, Peggy Duke, Nola Alexander (Drum Major), with Mascot Vicki Wallace in front.

For over 70 years Majorettes and Twirlers graced the sidelines of Devine football games, performed at pep rallies at Devine High School and Devine Junior High, and marched in local and area parades with the Warhorse & Colt Bands. They boosted school spirit and added sparkle and glamour with their twirling routines! From at least 1944 through the last twirler in 2017, Devine had the honor of having many very talented young ladies become leaders in their schools. These girls worked hard to prepare for tryouts, paid for their own batons, lessons, camps, and usually uniforms too. A lot of time and effort went into practicing for their performances, and they were an integral part of many school events. They also competed in UIL contests, even at the State level, and won many awards.

Excuse the presumptiveness of putting the Arabian freshman record at 14-1 as Devine was 13-1 before going into last night’s District 29-4A affair against the Lady Mavs of Pearsall. However, this squad has been on a tremendous roll this season as their only loss was against a JV squad from D’Hanis.

Small load
The term “dirty laundry on the field” normally refers to a penalty flag that has been thrown by one of the game officials. Well, there was just a small load of laundry Friday at Warhorse Stadium as only 8 flags were tossed all night, with just three of those flipped Devine’s direction.
