The squeak of new shoes and the rustle of new clothes could be heard throughout the halls during the first week of school at Mountain View. The halls were still crowded after the tardy ,Something special bells rang every hour, full of stu- dents from sopho- mores to seniors searching for their classes. Each grade had its own way of hiding the fact that each begins couldn't find classes. The sophomores tried to appear as if they knew where they were going, sneaking glances at their schedules, and the juniors and sen- On Toros, on! -- The band play s a rousing rendition of the fight song which is perfomied by the new faculty with Jean Evenson leading the chorus. 8 iors wandered around trying to look as if they were only being fashiona- bly late. By the end of the week, every- one was settled ing the office wasn't as crowded with students wanting schedule changes, and the halls were nearly empty at the sound ofthe tardy bell. And how did the students feel about being back in school? Senior Regina Payne said, I feel more grown up. There are a lot more re- sponsibilities when you become a senior. Mike Gisbran, junior, said, It feels great because I can boss around the sophomoreslu The first week of school ended with a bang, with the Hello Assembly on Friday moming. The gymnasium was packed with spirited Toros. The cheerleaders and pommies each made a great performance. The class competition was another high- light. Of course, the sophomores were picked on during the assembly. The juniors and seniors continued the tradition of holding up newspapers in front of their faces during the J .V. Cheer introductions. The first week of school wasn't good for everyone. It was horrible, because I got in a car accident the second day! said senior Sharlene Edwards. I Overall, students enjoyed the Hello Assembly.

The student body of Mountain View began to fill the bleachers of the gym. Elbow room was not a thing to be expected. Everyone's spirit ran high, including the sophomores, who finally felt like they were part of the school. In the Hello Assembly thejun- iors and seniors helped the student council humiliate the sophomores. This was done by putting down their clothes, food, transportation, music, and last but not least, their atti- tudes. Sophomore Sara CDeBaca said it didn't really bother her that much, because it was something that they do every year and when the sophomores are juniors and become seniors they will probably do the samef' Not all assemblies were alike, That's a TEN -- These spirited seniors show their scores for the new Junior Varsity Cheerleaders perfomance of a routine at the first assembly. The Rabbit Drag -- A the Mesa High School pep assembly. seniors Duke Rottweiler and Darron Gillespie show how psyched-up they are. but the effect on the crowds always seemed to be the same. The cheers, chants and shouts from the crowd let everyone know the true school spirit that was found at Mountain View. Several skits and games took place during each assembly. During the first assembly the student council put on a skit called Family Feud. This was done by having the members of student council split up into three teams, each team representing a class. Each class was asked several questions, and it was to answer to the best of its ability. The seniors took first, juniors second, and last but not least the sophomores. Another event was the Shoe Hunt. The student council chose several students from each class and made them take their shoes off. Then the shoes were placed at the other end of the gym. A mad scramble ensued with each person running to find and put on his or her shoes, but of course the results were the same. The only thing senior Lynde Austin could think was, 'gWhere are my shoes? I have to find my shoes. In the second assembly, rabbit season opened. While the crowd cheered for our football team, little stuffed jackrabbits tied on ropes were being battered all around, but the highlight was a tiny jackrabbit being dragged behind a little pink re- mote control car owned by Duke Rottweiler. At the third assembly two spir- ited Torols, Ken Henderson and Darron Gillespie, donned their cheerleading outfits with their daz- zling, long underwear, and assisted the varsity cheerleaders in a spirit- boosting cheer and pyramid. Ken and Darron also impressed the crowd with their handstands and cart- wheels. Along with the skits and dances Homecoming invitations were being brought about through serenades and signs.
