It continued through a seventh period pep session as the Homecoming court was an- nounced by the PTA president Mrs. Nora Anderson. Before the evening football game, excitement prevailed as the girls were paraded around the stadium in convertibles by faculty members. At halftime tears of happiness trickled from Sandy Nicholson ' s eyes when she was crowned 1967 Home- coming Queen. Although the Trojans lost to South Side the students and alumni still had anticipation for the traditional Homecoming dance.

Informative assemblies broaden Assemblies were conducted this year to give the student body a wider perspective of different situations. At the beginning of each assembly everyone stood to pledge allegiance to the flag and at the end seniors were allowed to leave the gym ahead of the under- classmen. Speakers such as Ministers, singers, and musical groups were invited to speak at different occasions. A Christmas assembly was presented the last day before Christmas vacation. The band played Christmas carols while the choir sang. Gifts were carried into the gym by students to be presented to Miss Virginia Schrantz. Pep sessions portrayed much school spirit. Every- one wore red to show their school spirit. As the cheer- leaders led the student body in new cheers, enthusiasm could be felt throughout the gym.
