The sources name Nancy Adkinson as a drum majorette. A drum majorette leads a marching band and twirls a baton, and may or may not also be a cheerleader.

The sources detail many clubs and activities at the school, including the A.D.D.'s, or Athletic Daughters of Democracy, who supported the athletic association. The sources also include information about the basketball and football teams for several years.
