Patricia Nell Livengood, 1935-1921

Patricia was among the first female Drum Majors in Allegany County. This occurred in 1951 at Allegany High School. S. Lua Syckes was the Band Director at Allegany. Many people felt such "strenuous" activity would endanger her physically. Mr. Bernard, of Barnes & Bernard Insurance and President of the Camper Club, had to personally interview Pat to determine if she had the strength and stamina for the job. Which she did. Patricia went on to become Drum Major and graduated from Allegany High School in 1953.
