“Amazing Grace’ is led by Eugene Williams as Bruce Phelps, portraying Patrick Henry, prepares to deliver his famous speech.

Aside from the tra- ditional Christmas concert given by the music department, the usual SCA maga- zine drive kickoff and windup assemblies, the SCA officer installation and NHS tap- ping assembly, and the year-ending awards assemblies, several new assem- blies were scheduled for the student's enjoyment. A torrid opening day assembly began the year with the SCA and administration welcoming the students back to school and was concluded with a pep rally kick- ing-off the football season. Throughout the year, the cheerleaders continued to give pep rallies preceding each home game. The Drama Club gave two assemblies during the year. ‘Bicentennial Minutes” was a student-written spoof on television's “200 Years Ago Today, which was presented for the Constitution Day assem- bly. “Trifles,” which was of a more serious nature, was placed before the student body before its presentation in district one-act play competition. Two singing groups performed for the student body, each coming from a differ- ent end of the music spectrum. A perfor- mance during the Thanksgiving Day as- sembly by a local church quartet, the “Brethrenaires'’’, entertained those who appreciated good gospel music; but for those who didn't, the traveling rock group, “Free Fare’, provided entertainment with a mid-morning rock concert. Other assemblies included a yearbook sales kickoff assembly, a talk by ex-POW Lt Commander Paul Gallanti on patri- otism, and a female student faculty vol- leyball game with the gate receipts going to the March of Dimes. Vietnam POW, Lt. Commander Pau! Gallanti ad- dresses the student body on patriotism with refer- ence to his experience.
