Thought provoking and entertaining assemb- lies were held throughout the year to recognize Rebels' achievements and to organize various drives. The Thanksgiving and Christmas pro- grams portrayed a serious side of the assemblies as speakers gave sedate speeches and the school choirs provided religious vocal music. At one of the most outstanding assemblies of the year, Mr. Cozens accepted the gift of the Freedom Shrine on behalf of the social science department, and JoAnn McFarland narrated, I am an American. On the lighter side, members of the Confederate staff did a take-off on West Side Story in which they asked for assistance on the Santa Claus Shop Drive. The assemblies furnished a chance for the school to meet as a body and provided a moment of relaxation and entertainment in the school day.

Rallies The pom-pon girls add enthusiasm tc a rally. Originality was one of the mainstays of the rallies this year as various groups led them for the student body during and after school. The basketball, swimming and wrestling teams each presented one which described some phase of their respective sports. The cheerleaders and pom- pon girls helped to inspire spirit among shouting Rebs as they led the many cheers which testified to school spirit and support. The new alma mater was sung at the close of each rally to add the finishing touch of tradition and respect to these inspiring pep gatherings. Bob Elliott cuts a striking pose as he expresses optimism and confidence about the coming meet.

Career Dau Career Day, March 21, gave South's students an opportunity to learn more about interesting vocations and inspired them to formulate plans for the future. Pep Club invited business leaders and professional people to South and asked them to speak about their respective careers. Each student attended two conferences to learn about those particular fields which were of most in- terest and benefit to him and his future. Which hat will I wear, was a question Career Day helped to answer for many military-minded boys. Fashion Snow Spring creations from local stores were mod- eled by the senior members of Pep Club at their annual spring fashion show on April 4. Depart- ing from the tradition of having only one show, the girls modeled again that night. Both the participants and the audience agreed that Jill Scott, program chairman, and her committee did a remarkably efficient job. Peg Stonner tries out as a model for the fashion show.
