Assemblies Afford Escape From Everyday Routine All assemblies presented this year were planned and arranged by the studentbody officers. Several Na- tional School Assemblies which trav- el around to all schools in the valley visited Alta. Other assemblies, like the BYU Young Ambassadors and the Alt Engan ski movie were invited and arranged by the officers. The class assemblies were written and put on by members of that class. The Junior Assembly, emceed by Brad Sanders, was about the Bananamy Awards. The Bananamy Awards presented bananas to the best television shows of the year. Shawn Whitaker starred as a space cadet with his mechanical friend pub on the Sophomore class assembly. The highlight of the assembly was when Darin Brian, Chuck Cutler, Wendy Edrl, and Brian Kichevar presented d riddle of od- vertisements from television. The senior Assembly featured the traditional Senior movie starring Sen- ior class members in the film. Remember the assembly at the first of the school year where the bank in the fieldhouse charmed us with the song Just the Way You Are and their disco doncing? The Opera Assembly was enjoy- able (for all who went). The opera singers sang jovial songs from op- eras. Space cadet and friend pub narrate Sophomore Assembly I I 28 Assemblies

Spirit Week in January had a lot in store with Hat Day. poster competi- tion and a big assembly in the field- house on game day The assembly contained the beautiful legs con- test between classes and faculty, judged by a panel; spirit chains, class members sitting on and melt- ing blocks of ice in the hot buns con- test; school color wearing of each class, noise making, and cheering competitions between classes In the overall contest the seniors won. with the sophomores close behind, and the juniors feeling that it was all rigged The biggest turn out of the year was the night pep rally during Homecoming week The traditional burning of the A got the student- body really rowdy, and rowdy was the spirit needed to show the stu- dentbody's support of athletic teams.
