SIB ' This year the FallfWinter Associated Student Body made a concerted effort to raise spirit at Blair and erase apathy. They made a fast start with a most impressive Homecoming. This activity included the assembly that proved well-organized and rehearsed. For the dance, the gym was outrageously decorated with purple, pink, and white, attracting a huge crowd. Efforts were also made to determine the fate of Blair, with meetings with the Superintendent, R. Cortines. During these sessions, the ASB asked for and received the assistance of another school clerk in the Main Office. This compensated for the work overload due to cutbacks. Other spirited events included caroling at Christmas, faculty parties, and student interaction with the community. With these and other efforts made, the Blair ASB increased spirit and an excellent groundwork for continuing in the next se- mester. -. f X N ' A .
