Although few, optional pep sessions and assemblies provided students with the opportunity to break the routine of everyday classes. Senior Jaye Stearns told of her excursion to England during the summer months at an assembly promoting interest in American Field Service activities. Students received a chance to ask Jaye about traditions, fashions and the English way of life. Cheerleaders created original skits involving popular songs and presented new cheers to incite enthusiasm during pep sessions. Besides cheerleaders, students became involved in encouraging school spirit as a yellow and blue painted submarine was carried onto the floor with voices from behind singing their own words to Yellow Submarine. Strains of Little Richard, Bob Dylan and the Beatles drifted from the auditorium as Indiana and Michigan Electric Company and local WMEE jocks brought the rock documentary The History of Rock 'n' Roll to HHS. Taking students through the music of the 50's and 60's, familiar tunes brought singing voices and handclapping from the seats.
