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!

I really liked the ice sculpture — a Jot of people went right to the food; and it was there and it looked good. — Christina Hinojos 12th Grade This year every- body stayed and it was a Jot of fun because everybody was danc- ing. Going stag I feel is more fun because you don ' t have to stay with the one person. You can dance with any- one you want. — Nicole Del Rosario 11th Grade ne Moment in Time $250!! That ' s right — it cost approximately $250, on the average, for one person — that ' s one person — to attend the 1988-89 winter for- mal. To most students who attended, the ex- pense was well worth it, however. Tickets were sold for $50 with an A.S.B. card, and $57 without one. The extra expenses, though, quickly added up: cor- sage, dinner, for some even a limousine. Limos drew up at the entrance to the Westin South Coast Plaza on January 21, and for one night, each girl there had a chance to live through a Cinderella night. Hours of shop- ping and downright re- search for the perfect dress filled the weeks before the dance. Rachelle Polston learned from previous formals — she decided to beat the exaspera- tion and had her dress custom made. Brian Callaway didn ' t want to blend in with all the other guys in their ge- neric tuxes, so he spent a little effort and found something unique — a one-of-a-kind paisley bowtie and cummer- bund. The Silver Anniver- sary winter formal was sponsored by A.S.B. Lori O ' Keefe was in charge of all arrange- ments. The sapphire- blue, black, and silver motif served as a per- fect accent to the theme, One Moment in Time. The gala event definitely added another festive occa- sion to our 25th year celebration. ► Dancing closely. Todd Grossman holds April Vin- cent tight. It was a great end- ing to an equally exciting day. ▲ Jennifer Dark and Shan- non Noble have a great time dancing to the beat of Tone Loc ' s Wild Thing. 1 Winter Formal
