Assemblies often change our everyday schedules A Brief How many people were there who didn't want to get out of class for an assembly? If you were like most people, an assembly gave you one more day to write an English paper or the chemistry lab one more day to live. For most of us, assemblies were a welcome reprieve from an ordinary day. The most popular ones were pep assemblies. They were organized by the cheerleaders, who worked hard to maintain enthusiastic half-hours, and to promote school spirit for that weekend's game. The pep assembly we enjoyed most was Homecoming During this, all the members of the Homecoming Court were introduced with their escorts, and the football team was psyched up for that all-important game. Two annual assemblies were the AFS assemblies, held in the auditorium. In the fall, the foreign exchange student, Patricia Wambui, made a brief speech upon arriving at our school. At the spring assembly, she delivered a farewell speech to the student body. On November 8, the Student Council presented a musical assembly during the second period. The name of the group was Freedom Jam,” and they travelled here from St. Petersburg. Florida. Their program traced the musical history of our country from Colonial times to the present Using music and excellent organized comedy skits, they presented a show that was surely enjoyable to all who attended Leading a cheer during a pep assembly are the varsity cheerleaders The cheerleaders worked hard to organize the assembles, and we had tun raivng school spirit. 16 Assemblies
