Assemblies enriched the lives of the students by adding humor, knowledge, and inspiration to the scholastic day.

Mr. Dan Daniels, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, was a speaker at the Veterans ' Day program. The Christmas program featured selec¬ tions by the band and choir. The highlight of this assembly came when Vandie Saunders, SCA president, presented Dr. W. W. Glass, Sout h Boston Fire Department chaplain, gifts of food, clothing, and money to be distributed by the Fire Department to the needy families of Halifax County.

Junior-Senior high lights season with theme, Pink cherry trees blossomed and Japanese lanterns glowed throughout the lobby and gym¬ nasium, creating the Oriental atmosphere of A Night in the Mystic East for the Junior-Senior Prom on the night of May 13. The Senior Class was entertained from 8 p.m. until midnight by juniors and their parents. In accord with the theme, but minus a pi-pi and hsiian, musicians for the evening were the Mystics of Charlotte, North Carolina. Later in the evening, senior girls and their escorts were presented in the annual Senior Fig¬ ure. The couples formed the traditional Oriental fan, as well as the class numerals, ' 66. Refresh¬ ments were served throughout the evening in an Oriental rose garden. The Junior Class began to plan early for the prom and every effort possible for realistic deco¬ rations was used. Though many Oriental tradi¬ tions were observed, guests were not required to remove their shoes before entering the prom. Working hard to meet the prom deadline, are Junior Class members Deborah Ward and Wendy Wilborn. Taking advantage of the music provided by the Mystics from Charlotte, North Carolina, are Andy McDowell and Sara Paige Snow.
