 Entertainin' Ta li Assemblies provide th«- student body willi a type of monotony breaker a well a informative and entertaining programs. In early fall, the first presentation viewed by ’•ludent . was the drug program. Familiarizing thr student body with the new drug policy, sniffer dogs and their trainers were introduced. A culmination of mystery and anticipation prevailed over the stu- dent l»ody concerning the bewildering Don't Drown buttons that wen sparsely distributed. Speculations ranged from the construction of a new swimming pool to a Senior prank. However, the presenta- tion by tin- Governor staff explained the hidden meaning of the hut- tons, complete with its ark theme. Information concerning the purchase of yearbooks was also discussed. During the winter trimester, assemblies seemed to be extinct except for the special fifth period choir assembly, where only a select number of classes were invited to attend. In the spring, assemblies were in abundance. In March four pro- grams. including the Gmcern Singers. Planning a Future in Health Careers, the annual Relay Queen assembly, and a communication skills program sponsored by Pepsi-Cola Were presented. i Serving « • sign |K»(.
