Students throng to shows Assemblies became a more common item on the agenda due to increased activity on the part of student organizations. They were sponsored by groups ranging from Student Council to mountaineering club. Campus Life sponsored the year’s first assembly, which featured Rare Moment, an ensemble from Elitch Gardens in Denver. Their song and dance routines helped to lighten the students’ daily routine. Student Council attempted to show The Deep.” a PG rated movie, for an Oct. 31 assembly, but it was cancelled because of its rating. The student body, however, protested the cancellation by staging a sit-in during third and fourth periods in the student center. Steve Komito’s slide presenta- tion Through the Alps by Boot and Mountain’’ was sponsored by the mountaineering club in an attempt to raise interest in the club. For the fourth year in a row, the Air Force Falconairres entertained the school population with their show of popular music accompanied by singers and dancers. Student Council arranged the final two assemblies. The first featured Herbert Scott of the National School Assemblies doing a ventriloquism routine, and the last was MacGregor’s Beggars, the popular choral group from Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver.
