We raise our song to thee e many years past. San Gorgonio has taken pride and much time in preparation for assemblies. These were an exciting part of Fridays and the announcement of the upcoming sports. The assemblies were held in the 10:50 to 11:30, and many students took the time to attend these spirited events. Most pep assemblies were very rowdy. The leadership would perform cheers to get the audience in a spirited mood. This would be followed by a routine t choreographed by the poms or varsity cheers. Most of the time a selected varsity team member would speak to the crowd about their sport. Many of the assemblies were to promote the football team and their upcoming games. Other assemblies were given for special occasions. The Homecoming assembly was held to choose a Homecoming queen. Each candid ate, accompanied by an escort, would walk across the gym floor, while being introduced by Mr. Haley, principal. At the end of each assembly, the student body would sing the Alma Mater, led by the band. Doreen Amador was the director of all assemblies. San Gorgcnio had many pleasant and successful ones in the past, and whether it was pep or just student life, assemblies showed that school could be fun combined with learning.
