Above: The spirit was booming at this pep assembly as shown by the team and coaches. Below: The anxious student body awaits the team. Pep Assemblies produce spirit Due to lack of consideration and poor conduct by the student body there were very few variety assemblies. However, this proved to be the opposite in regard to the pep assemblies. There was a great deal of spirit and effort brought forth by not only the organizers but also by the student body and faculty as a whole. Each was in some way unique, but all were alike in regards to spirit and involvement. Every week a spark plus award was presented to the various groups presenting the most spirit, the cadets formed a tunnel for the football players and the faculty put on some great skits. With our small enrollment the auditorium was far from full, but the spirit that was presented by those present proved that although we were small in number we were proud of what we had achieved.

Guisinger, Carver, Kellogg Direct Four one-act plays were presented on February 20 and 22. The plays, unlike any others this year, were student directed. Don Guisinger, Ray Carver , and Paul Kellogg fell into the director ' s positions. This experience gave them the oppor¬ tunity to feel the pressure of the outcome of a play. The Darkest Hour was concerned with the grave conditions in our U.S. prisons , and a man ' s unjust murder conviction. Trysting Place in¬ volved multiple romances in a hotel lobby during the 1920 ' s. The Sandbox projected through a humorous view , the poor treatment of our senior citizens. The Outcasts of Poker Flat told the story of a group of people condemned as sinners by the town of Poker Flat , who en route to a new life , face the disaster of a blizzard together. Participation in these plays gave beginners a chance to star , as well as experiencing direction under one of their actors. Above: Randy Robertson and Joan Kalwishky in The Outcasts of Poker Flat.
