n some ways, school’s like a toy ... Some assembly required . .. One of the most interesting assemblies according to sen¬ ior Verni Wright is the spirit rally. Spirit rallies boost the schooLs spirit, unify the masses, and serve as a great way to forget about frustra- tions and relax the mind. At spirit rallies, the different classes either dress in special colors or yell the loudest. The revvard? A spirit stick that is treasured by the winning class. Guest speakers such as Buddy Roemer, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Pat Tilley give the students direct infor- mation concerning important issues. When asked what im- provements he thinks the schools of La. yearn for, Con- gressman Roemer replied with honesty his ideals for a better structured school Sys¬ tem for our state. The stu¬ dents not only appreciated but respected his plan. Sugar Ray Leonard, former middle weight Champion of the world, spoke to the stu¬ dents concerning drugs, alco¬ hol, and other abusive agents that have migrated among our teens. He spoke of the impor- tance to strive to be the best that we can and keep our- selves from harmful things. But, among other things, assemblies can mean being informed of an upcoming learning project. Many stu¬ dents will remember for a long time to come the assem¬ bly that changed the future years in Magnets Science classes. Yes, assemblies inform, en- tertain, stimulate, and com¬ municate to students social and economical aspects of our state and our world. OH, WE THOUGHT IT WAS NIGHT SCHOOL!
