Adding a new touch of color to the half- times of the home basketball games were the Hyland Lassies, the newly formed girls' dance and drill team. Dressed in bright blue and gold costumes which they had made, the Lassies entertained the crowds with their performances of precision dancing. The name of the group, i'l'lyland Lassies, was originated by Senior Tim Yan- tos, who submitted it in response 'to a con- test sponsored by the dance line. The Lassies costumes, yellow with shiny blue sequins, were readily adaptable to the wide variety of dances the drill team per- formed. Some of the decorations they em- ployed were blue and gold shakers and green fringes and hair feathers, which the Lassies wore while they were performing a modern rendition of the Charleston. Other dances the Lassies prepared were Spanish Flea and 'AA Taste of Honey. The Lassies danced at many school func- tions. They performed at a PTA meeting, the talent show, and district basketball.

What do you mean, 'someone has your uniform? lt has to be in there! Such were the comments you were likely to hear if you happened to venture near the marching band any time this year. Long hours were spent in preparation for the band's various performances. Practice sessions were held at least twice a week throughout the summer. The climax of the marching season came with the Aquaten- nial Torchlight Parade. The band also per- formed in numerous other parades, includ- ing the Columbia Heights Jamboree, the Robbinsdale Whiz-Bang Days, the East Side Parade, the St. Anthony Septemberfest, and the Columbia Heights Homecoming Parade. When football season arrived, the band turned its attention to interesting field posi- tions. They formed a half-moon and played Moon River for the Homecoming game.

An eight millimeter color film was the first object to be placed in the well- constructed box. Later in the year, the members placed a set of T967 coins and a l967 COHlAN in the machine along with the film. Science Club members also worked with a cloud chamber, which enabled them to see the path of atomic particles. Films also supplemented the experimen- tation. The First Soft Step was a docu- mentary of Surveyors first flight, and 'Pad 37 explained Saturn's launch complex. Members conducted an experiment con- nected with the film Chemistry and Life. Then, toward the end of the year, the Science Club, with the help of Mr. Brady, built a weather station. This enabled the stu- dents to learn to make weather observa- tions and predictions. This station was later placed on the roof of the school.
