From the PNG website:
In the early 1950s Frank Gioviale was instrumental in starting a girls marching group that became
the famous Indianettes.
Beaumont High School’s school song was “Our Director.” So was Port Neches’. Frank decided to
compose a tune that was different and unique to Pt. Neches. He did, and the choir director wrote the
lyrics. In fact, Frank wrote two songs but the people in the community did not like them. They wanted
“Our Director.” So it stayed as the school song. Around 1955 the band began playing “Cherokee” as a
pep song. Frank arranged this song to be played as a chant that would instantly be recognized. Lynne
Jeffrey (now Lynne James) wrote the words to “Cherokee” in 1959. Also in 1959 the twirlers created
white fringe traditional Indian uniforms with sequined belts. Cecile Holstead, drum majorette, wore the
first headdress. In the early and mid 1960s the Marching “I” was developed and added to the half time
performances.
