Bloom-Thornton Pep Assembly LoBue, Art Oliver, Ricky Smith, Jim Fisher, Bill Sissel, and Walt Tiberi. It’s been a great year, any way you look at it— and Bloom has had an exceptional number of delightful and entertaining assemblies. Humorous pep assemblies and educational, dance, and music programs have provided enter- tainment and educational opportunities to stu- dents in an impromptu manner. What's more, shortened periods accompany these assemblies, and offer a delightful academic break. Kenneth Mott, a representative of the National Aeronautics and Space Association, entertained future scientists with the history and use of the rocket at one of the several educational programs. The 1962-63 school year brought a great many music as- the choir and band of Champaign High School paid a visit sembhes to the student body. A highlight of these occurred when to Bloom as part of an exchange program. 19

Mothers “Thank Heaven For Little At the end of Workshop week, the teachers of Bloom High School enjoy a dinner at one of the near-by restau- rants before the school year begins. Miss Virginia Vida and Miss Elizabeth Bee- man arc shown entertaining the faculty with an after-dinner duet. The students of Mr. Dale Lawton’s homeroom meet as a group for one of the final times at the Senior Ban- quet. Each table picked a theme that was reminiscent of an activity Veronica Plaskey informs her “mother,” Jose- phine Cipriani, that she would rather have a baseball mitt than a silly old dress. This was one of the many skits featured at the Mother- Daughter Banquet. 20
