ssembl es inch: e OOIIIT3, When shouts of M-Men Power filled the gym, everyone knew it was assembly time. For many people this time didn't occur frequently enough. Assemblies are always really fun and l wish that there could have been more. lt seems like there were hardly any this year, remarked Senior Kathleen Sher- man. Each varsity rally squad was only allowed to put on three pep assemblies during their season. lt was really too bad that we couldn't put on more assemblies because we have so much fun doing them, commented fall rally member Kelley Phillips. A new twist was added in the planning of assemblies as far as rally squads were concerned. Their main objective was to center the assemblies around a theme. The girls created and performed skits and arranged class competi- tions to coincide with the theme. Some of the themes were Be True to Your School, Green Acres, and Hee Haw Days. These were much more challenging to plan than past assemblies, but they were really fun and people seemed to enjoy them really well, exclaimed Fall Rally Member Kristie Jones. Not all of the assemblies, however, were planned by the rally squads. Other sponsors included Executive Cabinet, Class Cabinets, and Girls' League. Executive Cabinet sponsored the Homecoming, Christmas, and May Fete assemblies. The senior and freshman classes teamed up to put on the April FooI's assembly. This assembly proved to be very popular as four Marshall boys vied for the crown of King Fool. Each boy was responsible for writing and performing his own speech on why he should become King Fool. Senior Pat Sheets seemed to be the favorite and was crowned later with the honor. I really enjoyed the assemblies this past school year. lt was evident that the rallies worked hard to promote school spirit, expressed Senior Suzy Messing. All in all, assemblies did a good job of getting the student body out of the old routine of classes and into a more exciting and relaxing atmosphere.
