The assemblies ignite everyone ' s spirits and give them more pride in being Irish. — Heili Kim 11th Grade Phil Thuman de- serves the credit for our terrific assemblies. He ' s truly the best at what he does. — Ryan Ito 12th Grade New Dimension Roaring crowds, en- thusiastic and fun- filled faces, exciting routines performed by song and cheer. Where could all this be found? At one of Kennedy ' s pep assemblies, of course! This year ' s pep as- semblies are the best in recent years! ex- pressed Ryan Ito, ASB president. They bring out a whole new di- mension to Irish Pride. From the screaming contests to the band ' s finale of the alma ma- ter, it was non-stop fun. In our first assem- ly we were introduced to Joni Evans and her special talent as the Kennedy majorette. Our second assembly highlighted the Olympics. We went all out: a torch bearer, Olympic games with medal winners, even a simulated Olympic flame. The third as- sembly was for home- coming. Though we were there to cheer on our football team, we couldn ' t help but dou- ble over with laughter as we saw our varsity football players dressed as cheer- leaders, skirts and all, attempting to perform their routines. The pep assemblies ranked number one for entertainment. Two thumbs up for Irish pride!
