AQQEM LU Q arouse student interest All work and no play Makes a dull school day. During the year, Principal Max Shoff, the athletic department and other clubs planned several assem- blies for the student body to attend. The student body participated in about 15 assemblies during the year. The topics of the assemblies ranged from the annual Homecom- ing Coronation, CBBS ceremony, and football pep rallies to programs which featured entertainers from around the country. Early in the year, Crazy George Schauer of the Detroit Pistons came with his cheerleaders, Boot the World's fastest eater, and the Pis- ton's mascot Rocky. They per- formed many basketball tricks to en- tertain the students and faculty To herald the beginning of Scott Hi-Q competitions, the team com- peted against department heads. Amid the cheering of the students the Hi-Q team won by one point: 55- 54. Upon winning the State Heavyweight Wrestling Champion- ship, Lee McDonald was congratu- lated by the student body during an assembly held in the gym. Class meetings, sport assemblies and entertainment filled the year, bringing fun to students and faculty. 32 Assemblies if-QQ. -fi! I if y ' 5 - : 2- - .R 5 is 5 5 i 5 S ,g C E if1f L 2 1 :mrs ' Jw.

Our school has also had its share of champs in sports. But that is not all. The band has been a state winner for the last three years. The marching band and Pirettes began their year at band camp which was followed by football games, candle and calendar sales and paper drives. As a first, the band had three drum majors, two of them being girls. In addition, the Pirettes formed a flag corp in which they won their first competition in Lexington. The band placed second in the Class B category. During the concert band season, members found themselves busily preparing for the district band con- test, solo and ensemble contest and state band competition. As the host band, the wind ensemble received a rating of a C15 which qualified them for state competition. The concert band received a C115 in the Class D division. ln April, the wind ensemble traveled to Upper Sandusky to com- pete in the state contest. Playing in Class A, the band received another CID, topping other area bands. While the band was unoccupied with competitions, the group opened and closed Cedar Point, played in several area festivals, held a McDonald's candlight dinner and hosted the Ohio State University Jazz Ensemble. They also played at the Christmas assembly and the Fine Arts Festival. Some members played in the pit orchestra of the musical in the spring. Opposite Page: 1.
