A ten dollar check went to the Senior Class for the most creative section. Thursday was Toyland and Green and Red Day; students and staff dressed as their favor- ite Christmas toys or in holiday colors. Wednesday brought Movie Land Day, with Laurel and Hardy films shown in the auditorium during the lunch hours. Admission was 25 t or one canned good. All pro- ceeds went to the Salvation Army for their annual food drive. The week was complet- ed Thursday, Dec. 21, with a formal dress-up day and a Christmas assembly.

Pep Assemblies Boost Wildcat Spirit As the bell rang, students ran eagerly to the gymnasium. The closer to the door, the louder the voices. Classes started yell- ing individual cheers but it soon became silent as the Pom-Pon girls presented the flags. Action soared with Dra- ma Club presenting skits, and the cheerleaders teaching new cheers. Highlights of past as- semblies included the winter assembly, proving which win- ter sport had the most versatil- ity. The athletes ran an obsta- cle course of sommersaults, cartwheels, walking over a sus- pended board and even twist- ing a hoola-hoop. Reggie Ever- ett hustled through the course and won the event in a smash- ing 25 seconds. The highlight of the hour concluded the assembly-the spirit competition. Sopho- mores, juniors and seniors competed in voice and spirit to see who would capture the spirit stick for the week. 1. Michelle Hunter and Cindy Cross sing out to the tune of the National Anthem . 2. Reggie Everett does the hula-hoop for competition. 3. Pam Bonella, Gary Doyal and Jay Goza pro- crastinate. 4. Runners David Birch, Scott Rounds, Jim Roadifer and Chris Newby sing their pep Song. 5.
