Getting as many as 2000 students together for a mass meeting always presents a problem. By the middle of September, the problem had been tackled twice—the traditional Howdy Assembly and a not-so-traditional Flag Raising Ceremony. After the usual anxieties and tensions during the first weeks of school were over, sophomores and newcomers relaxed and learned about the lighter side of life at Monterey. For the seventeenth consecutive year, students saw impersonations of popular personalities, cheerleaders, athletes and coaches. Although the presentation was not a very informative orientation, it was humorous and after all, it was traditional. After several more weeks of back to school confusion, another assembly took place in front of the school. What seemed to be an ordinary fire drill proved to be something new and quite different. Members of the band, choir and ROTC performed a patriotic flag raising ceremony—the first in Monterey's history. Although the ceremony received mixed reactions from both students and faculty, it was a show of patriotism and it was a not-so-traditional assembly. 10
