Each fall at the opening of football season an assembly is held for the entire student body. Because of the large num- ber of students at Princess Anne, the students assemble in the stadium to hear messages from both fellow students and faculty members. This year's assembly, unlike those of previous years, was held after PA had de- feated Great Bridge in its opening game. The students were understandably in good spirits, and Mr. Sachon's words were in- spirational as the entire school looked forward to a winning season. PA's exchange student Palma Porro, who had been in her new home for only a few days, spoke to the assembly. She was welcomed with a roaring cheer by the students of Princess Anne. Other assemblies included an orienta- tion program for students in their first year at Princess Anne. ln addition, in- dividual classes held assemblies to hear speeches by candidates for class offices.

The superiority of the Prin- cess Anne faculty has been illustrated in the records of the teachers themselves, but, even more, the outstanding records of their students, not only in their high school ex- perience but also during their college carer, offer proof of the quality of their Princess Anne educators. in activ ties. operation and government of their school.
