Mike Johnson chalks up two points in a hilari- ous comic game in which the Hi-Y Club did their share in pushing school spirit to a peak. Other contestants were Ronnie Achor, Jerry Sale, Rick Williams, Jerry Hale, and Pat Lee. Ur Utherufise The breaks from routine that were always anticipated were the pep sessions and convos. The first convo of the year came as quite a shock-once everyone had taken his seat--for it was then that the fact that 1000 students were gone was fully realized. No longer were there people packed clear to the rafters on all four sides of the gym! Instead, only two sides were filled-and even then, there were empty seats and a few empty rows. The convos this year provided a variety of interest and entertainment for the students. For example, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, a former record-breaking mile runner, spoke: a demon- stration of Extra Sensory Perception was given: and several other speakers high-lighted the con- vocations. When football season began, pep-sessions got underway. Students poured into the gym as the band's music promoted spirit. It seemed that l400 students could yell louder than 2600! The pep-sessions were of exciting variety, and each one spurred the spirit onward-to back the Indians and cheer them on to victory. . 4 v wr Vi , ,,s I s 'f A .4 4 - H 3 , , I 4 fXnderson's-lflvis Presley!
