The band played and the cheer- leaders jumped on stage to lead in sup- port ofthe school. Sophomores vividly remember their first pep assembly in which they were relentlessly picked on. c'The thing I re- member most about my first pep as- sembly is that I didn't know what was going on and we were made fun off, sophomore Malinda Wille said. Beth Chananovich thought the sophomores de- served to be teased. 'sThey wouldnat even stand up for the Pledge of Allegiancelw she said. Cheers were a major part of all as- semblies. Kory Terry and Marcie Sim- mons' favorite was HAH My Life I Wanted To Be a Senior. Simmons said, MI sing it with pride because I remember sitting in the back of the balcony wanting to sing that so bad! Now I can.

But then all the classes united to shout V-I-C-T-O-R-Y, That,s the Bulldog battle cryll' The band provided familiar tunes such as Louie, Louie and Hey, Baby which inspired everyone to sing. The drummers were a favorite attraction. Stu- dents could feel the rhythm as they came down the aisle beating out Jungle Bun- nyf' '4The drums are the best part of the whole assembly, Nora Villareal said. Simmons agreed, I love the drums! They're the most exciting part because you can feel the spirit in the air.

Michelle Willis smiles pretty as she and her escort, Tommy Brooks, stand before the student body after being introduced at the moming assembly. flu '55- What decision had the student body reached during the day? The moment was here and each candidate and her escort await the announcement from the loudspeaker.
