Nostalgia hits Oly Sparked by rental of the film American Graffiti, student body of- ficers instigated, and Coordinating Council approved November 24th as Fonzi Day. Work went into getting the movie, arranging the publicity, and planning the class schedule. But it paid off as the administra- tion liked it, and participation was unusually high. More people than anticipated, and an unusually large number of males, donned 50's cloth- ing. Old rock favorites were played over the P.A. system during pass- ing time, and the Flaming Groov- ies, rock group, actually Titans in drag, entertained at lunch with danc- ing groupies. The climax of the day was the movie, paid for by students, depicting the cool 50's and early 60s. 23

Pep Assemblies entertain, encourage Designed to promote spirit and encourage the teams. Pep Assem- blies were an important part of high school life. Except for the traditional Pep Club assembly, the duty of plan- ning, producing and performing the Pep Assemblies fell to the cheer- leaders. This year, they concentrat- ed on a variety of entertainment rather than one central theme for a skit. Special features in the assem- blies included the pink panther, a wrestling match, a mother-kissing game, tricycle rides and officers and cheerleaders from the opposing school. A panther hunt through the vicinity of West High, Pep Band, Pep Club, and player awards were an important factor of Pep Assemblies, as were the teams and coaches. 24
