After this designs for the floats must be made and a place to build the float must be found. And of course to build a float money must be collected to provide materials such as crepe paper, chicken wire and wood. Building began immediately after the powderpuff game on Sunday and con- tinued every afternoon and evening un- til Thursday. This activity offered a chance for students to work together and get to know each other better. Although the week of Homecoming was a wet one, students worked non- stop to perfect their floats in the hope that all their work would not be ruined by the rain. The rain subsided for awhile and though the sun didn't shine the floats did brighten the day. JUNIOR POWDERPUFF TEAM.

Why are they in such a rush? Be- cause assemblies are a time for stu- dents and faculty to take a break from their busy day and enjoy themselves. Several times each year classes are shortened just for that purpose. The assemblies were for pep rallies, United Way Campaign, choir and band, gym- nastics, etc. The first assembly of the year was a pep rally. Foreign exchange students were introduced and relay races be- tween classes were conduoted. Class competition yells were done away with at pep assemblies in hopes to form a more unified school. Administrators felt these yells were dividing the school too much. The annual United Way, faculty vs. students, volleyball game was also one of the first assemblies of the year. One dollar provided the student a pass out of class for the game and helped in reaching the school's goal in dona- tions.

Sophomores Tammy Quick and Janet Hubbard coast their way to the finish line in class competition during the first assembly of the year. day fl b Further into the year, assemblies were conducted for separate classes to discuss things that applied to them. The meeting for juniors consisted of a Josten's representative explaining op- tions for class rings. For the seniors there was an assembly to order senior souvenirs. Later in the year various staffs, such as secretaries, principals and janitors wished the students a musical Merry Christmas. The New Year's baby, alias Mr. Tom Round, science teacher, even put in an appearance. ' Celebrations were held prior to the Truman basketball game during a pep assembly as Dr. Robert Blaine asked the students to stand and dance to the song as the stage band played. Cheerleaders performed various skits one which required that they dress as various members of the fruit of the loom bunch. The girls' basketball play- ers added their own touch as the jockettes. All of these ideas went to make the break between second and third hour memorable. Assemblies - 19 i
