W--as Stuco Humors Students Amid all the spirit and celebration in an assembly, the Student Council officers believed that there had to be a bit of comedy to keep the students' morales at a high level. To accomplish this goal, they presented a skit in each assembly. NWe sit around and brain- storm,', said vice president Mindy Miller about how skits originated. f'We talk about why certain things will work and why certain things won'tg then we pick the best onef' One formula for a skit always worked, that of im- itating. the students and players of the opposing team. Skit artists portrayed opposing players as clumsy, incompetent wimps who had nothing intelligent to say. Opposition cheerleaders, who yelled out cheers blatant to the ears, looked ugly and disgusting. The opposing team's student body was portrayed as nerdish and dumb, When all else was ex- hausted, pure entertainment was the solution. One espe- cially memorable perfor- mance was senior Damon McFadden's imitation of Pee Wee Herman. olding It In. In a drama skit, junior Angela Ambrose waits to receive her toilet paper ration from junior Angie Allen. The skit satirizes the policy of getting toilet paper from the office. onfetti Wars. Senior Damon McFadden is attacked by tiny, colored pieces of paper. Everyone liked to throw confetti. but few liked to have it thrown at them. 0 Get 'Em!

No. the scene described a typical assembly. Students. as well as teachers. participated in the often funny. noisy. spirited. wild and entertaining assemv blies. Assemblies boosted team morale and school spirit for upcoming sporting events through skits. pep talks and spirit yells. Sports teams usually did well in the competitions that followed an assembly. and students were often in a good mood for the rest of the day. Assemblies Student Life 4 , i .

Three teachers judged the spirit contest between the seniors and the juniors at each assembly. The seniors. with the help of newspapers that simulated apathy toward the juniors. won the contest in the year's initial assembly. The juniors. who caught on to the significance of winning the spirit competition. won the next three. Seniors became embar- rassed at losing to juniors and made a comeback to win many ofthe following spirit contests. An assembly usually started with the band playing the school fight song and an intro- duction by a student council officer. Every assembly featured a dancing routine by the pom pons, an exhibition by the cheerleaders and a funny skit. Introductions of the players and coaches from the featured sport came next: often a team leader or coach spoke to the crowd. Remarks made by a team leader became especially funny. Having no prepared speech, he or she often had to ad-lib. That meant stating things that sometimes might not have been said if he had thought about it. -uv
