Fallen rider Debbie Debruhl pulls helplessly at her llama as coaches Coleman Starnes and Ron Ramsey battle for the ball in the donkey basketball game. Soul music of The Nobodies entertains spectators of the Art Club talent show and captures first place for its performers. FEVER RUNS HIGH ELECTION WEEK Assemblies take on new look to help clubs Although school elections followed familiar patterns, assemblies took on a new look. Ann Monroe Swaim, assemblies chairman, initiated new opportunities for clubs and organizations to make money for their varied interests. Not only did these assemblies help the club treasuries but they also entertained the students. The Art Department ' s talent show, the Drama Club ' s one-act comedy and, especially, the Lettermen Club ' s fac¬ ulty-varsity basketball game drew laughter and applause from the student body. It actually became an enjoyment to go to an assembly, even if it did sometimes costs 50 cents. To help pay for assemblies which required traveling expenses for visiting groups, students paid a $1 activity fee. This charge helped eliminate organization and collection problems. Election week again absorbed students in election fever. The school rule limiting placement of cam¬ paign posters did not dampen anyone ' s spirit as election day and the exciting balloting took over. 26 Assemblies, Elections

Speed is a great benefactor in many of the Comet contests, as Boxley Llewellyn beats the Liberty Minutemen down court. A loose ball is a sign of a mishap but Hunt Ozmer scrambles to re¬ cover the ball against Durham. Difficult shots being made is not uncommon and adds excitement to the game against Northern as Jerry Brooks makes another bucket. A layup is two easy points for Broderick Hill in the Comet victory at GW in Danville. Driving down the court, Howard White looks for a free Comet to receive his pass in the game against the Amherst Lancers. 28 Varsity Basketball
