CABINET-FRONT ROW: Soozi Palmer, Lisa Girard, Deborah Sauerhagen, Rick Patterson, Vicki Norris, Trisha Wendt, Charlie Bolte. SECOND ROW: Cabinet MEMBERS OF Cabinet spent more than money in planning and executing this year's myriad of activities. During the summer, parts of the Thunder- bird handbook, now called the T-Bird-Tradition, were revised. Plans were made for the Sophomore Orientation, which featured a delightful version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, while Boot Camp was chosen for the theme of Gleep Week. A drill team, missions, and an obstacle course created the atmosphere for the sophomores, who were only too happy to be initiated at the Gleep Leap. The Homecoming pageant, highlighted by the finale, and followed by a carnival, was another result of extensive summer planning. In November a toy drive was launched for Christ- mas Unlimited, which met a rousing response. Cabinet members contributed to the spirit of Christ- mas by decorating the main foyer and passing out candy canes in classes. Throughout the year cafeteria skits were held which, combined with morale boosting days, such as Sock It To 'Em, contributed much to keeping alive the enthusiasm of the Thunderbirds. Elections, the Inaugural Dinner, and the Inaugural Ball ended the eventful year for Wasson's 1967-1968 Cabinet. John Casey, Keith Edquist, Cindy Noxon, Toby Kircher. 5

6 Many hours were spent by the Assemblies Committee in order to present a colorful Homecoming queen assembly. Assemblies WE WANT OUR assemblies to be really entertaining and unique this year. These words served to remind Soozi Palmer, Secretary of Assemblies, the Assemblies Committee, and lVlr. Paris, faculty adviser, of the work in store for them. In order to help them accomplish this aim, they invited convicts from the Colorado State Prison, Dr. Fox from Colorado College, the NORAD Cavalcade of Music Band, and Mr. Pearson from Student Government Day. Much advanced planning allowed Wasson students to enjoy lectures and concerts performed by people hightly knowledgeable and talented in their fields. The Assemblies Committee also was in charge of queen presentation assemblies. Something unusual about the queen presentations initiated this year was that the queen candidates did not use escorts. Instead, full attention was given to the queen can- didates themselves. By keeping a tightly organized schedule, Soozi Palmer, secretary of assem- blies, was able to present special and interesting assemblies this year.
