Assernbl ies serve severol pu rposes It made me feel good to see Marshall's stu- dent body getting involved in our assemblies, and showing some enthusiasm, remarked Var- sity Basketball Rally member Kim Ruitenbeek. Responsibility, preparation, and imagination were all essential in achieving a successful as- sembly and maintaining utmost involvement from the student body. Many groups and organizations put on assem- blies to encourage student interest in their activi- ties. The rallies sponsored the majority to pro- mote school spirit and demonstrate support for their teams. 'iAssemblies serve a good purpose but we need more teachers to sit with the students and use some authority with themf' commented Ex- ecutive Cabinet Member Tim Long. Executive Cabinet's goal was to encourage students to run for an office. Highlighting the Lex Staff's assem- bly was a slideshow of student life. The purpose of their assembly was to boost sales of the year- book. Special sports assemblies were held to congratulate outstanding teams such as Girls' Volleyball, Boys' Basketball, and Girls' Basket- ball on their successful seasons. SCIENCE TEACHER John Hughes gets the spirit by assisting in assembly fun. Teachers often were included in activities to show their other side. Assemblies 0 21

Donces provide fun for student body High school dances are a part of teenage life. They are easy fund raisers and prove fun for the whole student body, exclaimed Senior Class Vice President JoAnn Watson. The first dance of the year was Homecoming. All week long several fun games were played leading up to the weekend activities. A traditional Friday night dance was held, and there the Homecom- ing court was presented and Queen Marylin Sul- livan crowned. Karyl Wing, senior activities chairperson stated, The dance proved very successful and promoted spirit for the next day's eventful schedule. Marshall's next dance was the annual Christ- mas Formal sponsored by Girls' League. The theme was Moonlight and Mistletoe. Filled with crepe paper and balloons, and also decorated with stars giving it a winter time evening effect, the cafeteria was dressed up to its fullest. The turnout was low, b'ut the atmosphere was close and romantic, observed Sophomore Kim Jeli. Not all dances were as formal as the Christ- mas dance. For instance the Bop Till You Drop function that was sponsored by both Freshman and Senior classes, was a more informal affair, giving students a chance to let loose and have fun. Here the clothing consisted of casual attire, ranging from comfortable Levis to the latest in designer jeans. lt doesn't really matter what you wear, as long as you go out and have a good time dancing, explained Senior Winky McGilliv- ray. JOAN HILSENTEGER and her out-of-school date boogie to the beat, Many Marshall students bring their non-Mar- shall dates to the dances. Dances 0 23
