Assemblies enhance spirit Spirit was the key word when students attend any of the year ' s pep assemblies. If you didn ' t have spirit when you came in, you left with it. The Band, Steppers and Colorguard performed, and oc- casional skits highlighted the ac- tivities. Special assemblies centered around Homecoming, which included the crowning of the queen, as well as Halloween and 50 ' s Day, when students dressed in the style of the 50 ' s. Most of the assemblies were accented with sports, boosting spirit before the games. Most students felt that they did help cheer the teams on. Above left: Junior Kim Cosner and seniors Pam Ruths, Denise Layton, Kathy A. John- son, and Cindy Dacken concentrate on a routine. Left: Mrs. Rieck takes an active part in a faculty skit.

New style of scheduling Because students ' schedules often have mistakes, a new scheduling procedure was in- troduced this year. This new type of scheduling allows students to choose their own classes and provides teachers with check-out places to be sure that students have taken the required subjects. Students are advised along the scheduling route about classes that have been filled or closed. Most students and counselors agreed that it was a faster and more effective method. Above: Students fill out preliminary schedule cards. Right: At the last stop in the scheduling procedure, schedules are stamped Approved. 12 INVOLVEMENT
