Band members enioy the recognition from performing for their peers during an assembly. l.incoln Campaigns The long awaited moment when a lunior gets their class ring came for .Janet Parker who received her ring first. School without some type of break would be unbearable. During the course of a year, there were several special events planned ftor the stu' dent body. During this time almost all of the students par- ticipated in one way or another. The Qing Dance, Christmas activities, Valentine dance, and various assemblies pre- sent a few of the entertain- ment aspects of school. Assemblies provide the ma- jor break in a school day. When an assembly is scheduled, at least one class was elimi- nated, this always makes the students happy. This year, Abraham Lincoln came to see Great Bridge l-ligh. But other programs such as a freedom assembly, an I-lonor Society induction ceremony, and the senior assembly became part of the entertainment. The arts also played a role in assemblies. The chorus and band per- formed, and a preview of the play Erigadocn enlightened the minds of the students. lvlany students await the day for some activities to occur. The ring dance is a per- fect example. .Juniors feel like they have waited all their lives for this one symbol of gradua- tion at hand. This years ring dance became the most suc- cessful of all. What would school be like without extra activities? There would never be anything to look forward to, just day af- ter day of boring classes. cr .TJ 1 1. cr 2.
