'I' just Sayin' . Howdy! ith the opening of school and rushing to and from classes, Fri- day, September 4, brought students, fac- ulty and administration together for the annual Hello Assembly. The gym was packed with happy, spirited Toros who were ready for what was one of the big- gest events ofthe year. As the Toro Band and cheerleaders aroused school spirit, Student Body President Steve Wilson- calmed the crowd and a few tardy seniors casually strolled into the gym. The Senior Toga had always been a tradition at the opening assembly of the year, but for the sophies, it was an unex- pected treat. The seniors who participat- ed wore black togas to show that this year's seniors were definitely BACK IN BLACK. As the presidents from each class an- nounced twenty students from their re- spective classes, students began to roll out of the bleachers for the class compe- tition. The activity was called The Snake, in which the twenty students from each class formed lines in the mid- dle of the gym floor and laid down. This is where the sophomores and juniors really had trouble, but the seniors got their act together and showed the under- classmen how to do The Snake, thus becoming the victors. After the class competition, it was time for the pommies to make their debut. Instead of showing up in their usual game uniforms, they wowed the crowd by stepping out as punks With teased hair, rouged cheeks and DE- VO ized clothes, the pommies per- formed a dance routine to DEVO's 'just the Girl You Want. 16 Hello Assembly Enthusiastic Varsity Cheerleaders execute the cheer enti- tled Time at the Hello Assembly. The roaring applause of the crowd echoes through the gym as the seniors take first place in the class competition. Energetic-Junior Varsity Cheerleaders Lori Passey, Tracy Welch, Karen Hale, and Gaylene Roberts say Hello!

Better in Activities hen we think of school, we think of teachers, books, and home- work, but when we remember school, we remember assemblies, floats, dances, all the other activities we participated in and the friends we made in the process. For most of us the end of seventh hour brought various happenings that attracted our attention away from our homework. If we weren't scheming for our next dance partner we were frantical- ly stuffing tissue paper flowers into chicken wire for the float the night be- fore the Homecoming game. Not all of the activities were sched- uled for after school. It seemed as though pep assemblies were always around the corner and something we all enjoyed. Not only did they mean shorter periods, but they gave us a chance to grasp some pre-game excitement. Right along with pep assemblies came class competitions, dress up days, and intra- murals. It all sounds time-consuming for the average student, but the loss of sleep was well worth the friends we made. We shared the worries when we ran out of tissue paper for the float, and we shared the laughter when we danced and pre- tended to sing to the latest song at a dance. The extra activities provided us with a place to make new friends and to share laughs and experiences with the old. They were the extra ingredient we need- ed to experience the best of it.
