Seen here is Bill Burbon who brought his troupe of dancers to Pioneer for an enjoyable hour of Mexican folk songs and dances.

Bottom right: One highlight in our cultural assemblies this year was an ancient Aztec dance done by Florencio Yescas who performed with a magnificent headpiece made of feathers. Students from Los Nietos Jr. High were invited to attend this special assembly. Below: Bertram Shurtleff demonstrates one of the benefits of keeping fit at the Wrestling Revelations Assembly.

A popular activity after football and basketball games is the after-game dance, supported by many active Titans. Popular bands like the Sheratons and the Exiles helped in making these dances suc- cessful. Again this year the Fling v as held, in which swimming, dancing, folk music and gomes as well as pizza made up the schedule of events for the evening. Sue Moriarty, Pioneer ' s Activities Chair- man, is in charge of the after-game dances this year. After-game Dances Popular with Titans
