Special assemblies spark interest Throughout the year, special assemblies were scheduled for the students of KHS. First of these was a performance by the United States Navy Show Band. Playing jazz, rock, and dance band selections, they enter- tained the audience with their song and dance routines. Traveling from Little Creek, Virginia, they were sponsored by the SCA and the KHS band. Attempting to promote their evening performances, another rock group, Pilgrim Twenty, appeared in the KHS auditorium for a preliminary concert during the school day. As spring came, rising juniors and seniors began to campaign for SCA offices for the following year. An assembly was held to in- troduce those candidates and to listen as they informed their peers of their individual capabilities. Honoring those students who had been selected by their classmates as members of the Hall of Fame, an assembly was presented ex- clusively for seniors. Skits were performed prior to the announcements of the winner of each category. Offering a variety of enter- tainment for students and faculty, the assemblies were presented as an attempt to break the monotony of everyday classroom work and to promote student interest.
