Rangerettes Have 32 New Members

KILGORE -Nearly three dozen young women have become the newest members of the Kilgore College Rangerettes dance and drill team. The announcement was made this morning in a closed ceremony in Dodson Auditorium on the Kilgore campus. The announcement culminates a week-long process of 80 young women vying for a coveted position on the 2016-17 Rangerette line. The new Rangerettes come from 28 Texas towns, including Tyler, Longview, Houston and Austin. They now join 36 sophomores to make a line of 72. The Rangerettes were the first of their kind, a vision of the late Gussie Nell Davis. They celebrated their 75th anniversary last year.
