14 Grade Assembly The 14 grade assembly was por- trayed by interpretative dancing. The dancers succeeded in looking both demonish and alluring. Class President Bob Richards played the part of a student tormented by teachers and all kinds of nightmarish creatures. The assembly was very effective in arousing the interest of the audience. 13 Grade Assembly The 13 grade presented a famous western movie for their skit— Western Symphony or Who Stole the G-String from Father ' s Bull Fiddle? The skit was worked out and timed to taped Rag Time music and flickering lights provided the back- ground. Rally Commissioner Frank Obien peeked out from behind the assembly curtain to check on the situation at hand. Shelley Onweiler and John Hops, as Prunella and the Stranger, are joined in the ranks of Holy Matrimony by Duncan McPherson. The assembly was enjoyable and well-planned. Page 99

12 Grade Rally For the second year in succession the class of 1957 captured the prize for the best assembly. The theme of the assembly was centered around the idea of its being the last 12 grade at SC. The skit showed originality and exhibited much of the fine talent found in the class. Sharon Stewart and Karl Minke (above) portrayed Eartha and Marsley, the two grandchildren of Zel- da Zimmerman, the last living member of the last 12 grade class. The Brush Up Your Shakespeare scene opened the Assem- bly (left). The whole cast joined in the finale, as Mary Fraga led them in Sing, You Seniors. The assembly was a terrific success, bubbling with spontaneity and exuberance. Page 100
