Assemblies afford welcome diversion Besides providing a break from daily monotony, assemblies also offered entertain- ment and inparted knowledge. An assembly sponsored by the student council attempted to show, through represen- tatives, the differences between the Democratic and Republican Parties. A presentation by Nebraska Medical Center nurses encouraged the anti-abortion laws, and members of several midwestern tribes performed ceremonial dances and explained cultural distinctions. The year ended with two appearances by Dr. Jay B. Zee, psychologist and noted hyp- notist. The first presentation displayed his remarkable memory abilities using self- hypnosis, and tried to unveil the mystery that surrounds the science. At the second appearance he performed his nightclub act, using students as the victims. His spirit far from broken, a disgruntdled Bob Koory awaits his turn to cross examine the Republican representative during the Political Day assembly.

Pep rallies amuse, enliven student body Pep rallies presented to students a two- sided coin. While to most they peaked spirit for a game, to some they merely meant shorter classes. For the most part, pep rallies organized by Pat Woster, Rick Sulskis, and Denny Lee relied almost entirely on the imitations and acting of Pat Woster. In an effort to raise money for Operation Others, wrestling matches between three faculty members and three varsity matmen provided a different and most entertaining pep rally. Senior grapplers Pat Waring and Randy McKay easily defeated their opponents, Mr. George Kocsis and Mr. Lynn Groff, but senior heavyweight Werner Dziuvenis found the competition of Mr. Robert Tillman, SJ, too much and fell. Basketball had its fair share of pep rallies too. Perhaps the most memorable, the Central-South pep rally, brought outstanding performances from Pat Woster, Mike Rock, Bill Martin, Marty Conboy, the Prep Row- dies, the N.A.D.S. 1National Association of Dissatisfied Seniorsb, and Fr. Daniel Laughlin, SJ. Pep rallies also focused upon spring sports, as the track, soccer, and baseball teams held a pep rally to explain the highlights and strategies of their games. Despite some student apathy, the in- creased number of pep rallies reflected the student body's willingness to support their team and their school.
