.1 t Many old traditions are connected with the assemblies at Neville. Every underclassman has dreamed of the time when he can finally march into the auditorium as a senior, envied and admired by the standing student body. The president of the Student Council presides over every assembly, which always begins with the opportunity for individual silent prayer, the Pledge of Al egiance, and the Star Spangled Banner. Neville students take pride in the high standards of conduct traditional at Neville and behave themselves accordingly. , . Although we are few in number, no other school can match our spirit and enthusiasm. No assembly would be the same without Shasta and his own Tiger Spirit. The students' response to such traditional cheers as: 'Gimme a Tremendous T , V-I-C-T-O-R-Y , and Z, Bits , is overwhelming. The freshmen, juniors, seniors, and band compete fiercely for the Spirit Stick, but no matter which group receives the award, it's always the entire student body that wins it. 'Finally everyone grows quiet as the words to the Alma Mater appear and the band begins to play. A shiver of pride runs down everyone's spina as voices rise together on the last notes singing, and all our memories o 't ee . ' . - x 1 .

The MONROYAN staff has consistently produced an annual. Yearbooks, formerly called the SQUEEDUNK, date back to the early years of Monroe High School. The title was changed in 1931 to honor the city which had built its students such an outstanding school. The Student Council is as much a part of Neville as Neville itself. Established in 1931, it is a time-honored tradition. Neville was one of three schools in the state to first organize the Louisiana Association of Student Councils and since then has held the state offices of President, Vice-President, and Parliamentarian. The National Honor Society also has a legacy of tradition. It was formed in 1932. Students having a B average, teachers' recommendations, and outstanding moral character are chosen as member. The National Honor Society produces an annual student directory, sponsors Teacher of the Month, and participates in various community activities. Clubs supplementing regular academic programs are not a new tradition. The Speech Club, Home and Family Living Club, Latin Club, Foreign Language Club, and the Future Business Leaders of America serve as a link between the classroom and extracurricular activities. The Key Club is a boys' organization which provides services to the community. fhe Octagon Club, one of the more active clubs, participates in civic, school, and money-making projects. It is an extension of the Optimist Club. Representatives from each club form the Inter-Club Council, which oversees the activities of the various organizations of Neville High School.
