Lanier High School - Viking Yearbook (Austin, TX)

Shows ssemblies had been around since our grade school days but by the time we reached Lanier, inflation had hit. Sponsored by money hungry clubs and organizations, prices rose to fifty cents, with one concert skyrocketing to a dollar. HECE sponsored a fashion show for lVlargo's la Mode with Lanier students as the models. The Vikettes featured in their Spring Show a pantomine about the song Lucille, a dance routine to Southern Nights, their award winning ladder routine and a tap dance by Jan Jay, Leslee Roberts, Gayla Griggs, and Robin Goss. More dancing surfaced when, near the end ofthe year, the Hartford Ballet Company from Hartford, Connecticut visited. NHS brought the rock group Rabbit which was a big hit and Student Council presented us with the Country Edition, much to the delight of Lanier's kicker crowd. Another of the Student Councils contributions was the Lanier A Cappella Choir, who put on a Christmas Concert in the gym, Later inthe year the Yearbook staff showed a slide presentation as a preview to the '77 Viking and Rick Presley sang the top-forty as he got whiplash in his hips trying to imitate Elvis. To fill in the empty spaces there were several basketball and volleyball games, plus the coaches' twangy imitations of Hank Williams and Charlie Pride. But whether we used the thirty minute period to smoke a cigarette, get some munchies at the store or to really see the variety of assemblies, it was worth it just to get out of class. 3 The Hartford Ballet gave us a beautiful and unique type of assembly. Here, the dancers play little kids on a rainy afternoon. 4 We came to assemblies to see a protessional perform, but of ten found ourselves the center of attention. Darrell Bowie gets a chance to show the school his Iooniness. 5 Darlene Kutach gets a kiss from singer Flick Presley, This assembly brought a performer from the Las Vegas night clubs to the gym.
