From their trailblazing debut in 1940 to their enduring impact today, the Rangerettes’ legacy lives on through the Rangerette Showcase & Museum.
The Kilgore College Rangerettes' current uniform hasn’t strayed too far from the original look, as seen in this side-by-side display at the Rangerette Showcase & Museum.
“I have the best job in the world. I get to be around the organization that absolutely changed my life. It molded me into the person that I am today,” said DeHoyos, who’s been with the museum for 11 years and before that was a Rangerette on the 66th line. “I get to be here every single day. I get to see the girls rehearse and perform. And, here specifically at the museum, I get to preserve our past, I get to present the present day, and I get to curate our future.
DeHoyos said being a Rangerette is a privilege that carries with it a sense of responsibility – and that legacy continues to inspire the future. Last year’s team captain, Hayley Triplett, has lots of fond memories of leading tours at the museum. “What was amazing to me was their discipline and of course, their precision and the tradition that they held all these years,” he said.
