ASSEMBLIES Amused, Inspired, After an absence of one month, Mr. J. H. Dunran made a surprise appearance at the Jesuit assembly. This expcrience proved to be emotional for the students, faculty, and Mr. Duncan him- self, as he was given a spontaneous standing ovation. Mary Ann Tindol, Janet Marvin, Julia Minor, Rebel Brown, and Anne Pou, terrified westerners, were held captive by Indians, Rob Fulton, Jimmy Trichel, and Bill Clark during the Fair Park Assembly. Barron O ' Neal told Ivy Hedgcock and David Beaiid about the literary publica- tions of Byrd in the Orientation Day As- sembly.

BRUSH AND PALETTE Presented Officers for the 1969-1970 Brush and Palette Club were Front Row: Cathy Fryer, Publi- city; Ellen Evans, Treasurer; Ginger Fort- son, Publicity. Second Row: Nancy Creamer, President; Gilbert Hetherwick, Vice-Presi- dent; Susan Fleming, Secretary. Making key chain9 which were later sold by the Art Club were Marion Jones, Tom- mie Hay, and Pat McWilliams. The proceeds from the sale were used to help provide funds for the Brush and Palette Scholarship Award, an honor presented annually to an outstanding art student. To brighten the halls and boost spir- it on Go West Day, the Brush and Palette Club made many westem deco- rations for the traditional event. Ban- ners displaving cowboy figures with the features of each Senior football player and door stickers in the shape of western hats, broken feathers, gun holsters, and spurs were among the contributions of the club. Hours and hours of “artist-power” were also do- nated by members to help the Student Council prepare the numerous posters and banners that decked the halls. Thanksgiving, the art students made tray favors in the shape of pilgrim’s hats, and, stuffing them with candies, the club’s members took them to the Veteran’s Hospital. At Christmas, a party with cokes and cookies was en joyed by all. The Brush and Palette, sponsored by Mrs. Johnnie Jordan, painted and sold original key chains and minia- tures in the spring. Perhaps the club’s greatest contribution to the school was a large mosaic they designed and pre- sented to Mr. Duncan to brighten the teacher’s lounge. Front Row: Brenda Lessman, Sandra Pat- ton, Pat McWilliams, Joyce Hollingsworth. Second Row: Kathryn Parker, Huth Bald- ridge, Susan Robertscn, Susan Burger. Third Row: Cindy Clark, Lisa Norwood, Marion James Jones, John Morgan. 24
