'Break a Leg' There were some changes in the assembly procedures. Instead of be- ing held in the auditorium, all assemblies were held in the gym- nasium, due to the increased number of students. Being in the gym was a handicap for assemblies like Homecoming but overall it worked okay. I had a lot of support from the assemblies com- mittee and the administration, stated Jody Bilyeu, assemblies commissioner. Jody worked with the assemblies committee and senior Kevin Bareford, committee chairman, to plan each and every assembly down to the last detail. Senior Robbie Daniel, committee member, per- formed in a number of assemblies throughout the year. I like being in assemblies and get- ting crazy in front of everyone, said Robbie. I like the attention . . . I was born to perform! How Day assembly started the school year off with its usual spirit that united the school, despite the fact that it was held indoors. We had How Day indoors Senior Brad Rozell, alias Howman, scratches his head after performing in the How Day Assembly while senior footballer Les Lile looks on. 34 1 Assemblies because it saved time to perform. Things were more organized, and you could hear better, stated Jody. During How Day, new sporting teams, as well as student cabinet, and cheerleaders, were introduced. Students showed pride in the athletic teams and one injured varsity foot- ball player in particular, senior Aaron Stull, by giving him a stan- ding ovation. Other assemblies ranged from Turkeys to talent shows, Sweetheart to student elections, and band to basketball. Students were also able to see the all-school musical, Music Man, at a matinee held during lst- 3rd hours. The journalism department, along with Taylor Publishing Company, held an assembly for the first time to introduce its new procedure for year- book sales and encouraged students to buy a yearbook. Just as How Day began the year, Class Day and Memories Assembly brought the end of school for students, and for seniors, it brought the end of high school.
