Assemblies lt was a year of rather ordinary assemblies, pand who would have ever thought that the 1 highlight of the year would have been Flying Tennis Balls The student body gathered in ithe gym. Silence and suspense filled the air as principals gravitated toward the center. Several seniors began to chant you, you, you . . i. Mr. Pearce joined the others in the center. Suddenly, hundreds of tennis balls began flying. Chaos! Teliichers stared in awe. St dents screamed and laughed as principals were bombarded from front and behind. The principals immediately took action. The tennis balls stopped flying, the students stopped laughing, and all were sent back to class except the guilty culprits, the seniors. The A.F.S.Olympics had ended. This assembly was probably the most disastrous, but exciting assembly of the year. The purpose of the A.F.S. Olympics was to familiarize the student body with the Ameri- can Field Service and to intro- duce foreign exchange students from surrounding schools. The Olympics raised approximately 1000 dollars which will help bring a foreign exchange stu- dent to Lake Highlands next year. The majority of pay assemblies purpose were to raise money for a particular cause. The cheerleaders sponsored a Rick Presley concert which raised 1200 dollars to help pay for the mascot. The senior sponsored Lynx raised 1038 dollars which went toward the cost of prom. Other pay assemblies included previews of Varsity Review, The Music Man, Spring Show, and Senior Show, all of which provided an escape from second period classes.
