ASSEMBLIES Inspiring religious assemblies, lettermen ' s assemblies honoring athletic stars, and a thought-provoking all-school gathering to promote school spirit were among the pro- grams presented to the student body throughout the year. The Thanksgiving and Easter celebrations were sponsored by Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y, and under the able direction of Mrs. Wilhams and Mr. Wells, the traditional Christmas music program was given for the student body and the public. The joint Con ederate-Red Cross assembly for the Santa Clous Shop proved its successful appeal as Rebs filled and refilled the toy hut in the main hall. Among the speakers at various assemblies throughout the year were Mr. Earl Reum, Director of Student Activities, and our own Mr. Harold Keables, who gave a talk on school spirit at an assembly for that purpose presented by Student Council. Special lettermen ' s assemblies were held to honor athletes and their coaches, and often Dr. Anderson took these opportunities to present academic awards. A march to honor the Confederate flag and the South brings a school spirit assembly to an impressive close. ' Twos the night before Christmas and all through the pad . . . .

RALLIES Energetically leading Rebs in a cheer at a rally are Karla Mag- nuson, Shan Burdick, and Nancy McCracken. Rallies held after school helped to inspire our teams to win and to pro- mote attendance at sports events. Energetic cheerleaders and bouncy pom pom girls enlivened rallies as students yelled to their teams for Vic- tory. As the Pep Club screams faded away, all hands were raised in riotious applause when South ' s Number One Rebel Rouser, Dr. Anderson, appeared to give a pep talk. Hopes were high for the game to come as patriotic Southerners stood for the Alma Mater which ended each rally. ;- ' -( : ' ia ' 3 H», ;= n=m=m - .•=tnn= =i=iT. !!■■ ■■■■ At the doors to the school.

DOUBLE DOOR Mystery and suspense set the mood as the Senior Drama Class presented the melodrama Double Door. The able acting of Jane Sloan, Doug Puckett, Gail Matson and Shari Smith, who played leading roles, and the directing of Mrs. Nordstrom transformed the written words into a suspenseful drama. As the plot unfolded, tension mounted and the audience became intensely in- volved in the situations. The curtains closed on the last act and thunderous applause indicated that the hard work which went into the production was worth all efforts of the participants. Humorous Valentine corsages are worn in un- orlliodox places at Cupid ' s Beau. Paper hearts and red streamers decorated the Thomas Jefferson gym while carrot and radish corsages decorated boys ' jackets at Cupid ' s Beau, the traditional girl-ask-boy Valentine dance. Southern Belles had a chance to treat their favorite Reb to this dance, which was sponsored jointly by the TJ and South Junior Red Cross Chapters. Music provided by the Hilltoppers filled the spacious gym while couples glided about the dance floor or sat at the sidelines and talked. The magic of the evening was brought to a close as the last dance was ployed, and dancers drifted into cool, starlit February air. Tes? Yes! says Linda Morse in a tense scene from the play Double Door. CUPID ' S BEAU Faculty chaperones chat congenially at the Junior Red Cross Dance at Thomas Jefferson.
