Ё Not like it eed to be Assemblies took on a new look in 1983-84. The | qym and auditorium didn t just chanqe phys- | ically, what happened inside them was differ- ent. Talent and band assemblies were no more, and required assemblies were т. The SADD organi- zation (Students Against Driving Drunk) had one of these required assemblies. State patrol- man Mike Gilbert delivered a thought-provok- | ing speech to a gym which was packed full of listeners. ” EE Ihe first required assembly was held only а EM week before the SADD assembly. Senator Rog- ИИИЙ er Jepsen made an appearance when Ames High was awarded the Excellence in Education x award trom the Department of Education s com- | Set mission of Excellence in Education. Ea The old standbys (pep assemblies) also took on a | — eo different twist. Depending on what season a 2 a cheerleader cheered, pep assemblies were an important factor. 'We felt like we should have a lot of assemblies because it was our first season in the Metro, and we felt we should get every- | one behind the teams, said fall cheerleader | Nancy Budnik. Linda Klein contradicted Budnik's statement. | After our first assembly it was obvious it was going to be harder to inspire the crowd for the - : winter sports, so we chose to have only two IN а — assemblies, rather than the five the fall cheer- leaders had. ww Cheerleaders had something to contend with in that the school required some assemblies and not others. Since pep assemblies werent re- quired as were others, pep assemblies had to alternate morning and afternoon schedule times so as not to disrupt the same classes each time. We had to keep the assemblies interesting be- cause seniors often didn't have classes in the afternoon so we needed to make all of the as- semblies rowdy and exciting to keep people sticking around for the afternoon ones, ` said fall cheerleader Ann Yates. ` E. d. PRESSURE. Mike Gilbert gives a lecture to an all-school assembly about drinking and driving. Gilbert gives lectures all around the state to various groups representing the SADD organization. 2d Assemblies
