24 General Assembly FROM AN ASSEMBLY at which Tarzan and Jane were present, to the sale of the Wasson telephone directory, The Bird Call, the 1967-'68 General Assembly kept the student body entertained and informed throughout the school year. General Assembly started the new year by sponsoring sock hops and the annual Student Council dance. Ideas considered for the latter part of the year were a service project for the community, a student exchange with another school in the state, a faculty symposium on provocative topics, and an art and hobby show. Under the chairmanship of Toby Kircher, the members attended leadership meetings at which prominent Colorado Springs citizens, including Mayor McCleary, spoke. The members were elected in the spring of last year after interested students attended a primary meeting. These people were then voted on to narrow the field of candidates to fifteen. These fifteen students then spoke to their classmates, and the ten class representatives were elected. Initiation of members took place at General Assernbly's installation Preparing questionnaires for students are Steve Steiner, Judi Genkireizig, Toby Kircher, and Julie Westerdahl

Morale THE SKY WAS the limit this year for Morale Committee, headed by Charlie Bolte, which did, indeed feature skyline cheerleaders in one of many high- spirited pep assemblies. Famous personalities such as Annie Oakley and Napoleon, along with the one and only Tommy T-bird andghis newly acquired voice box, added to the spirit throughout the year. Besides the assemblies held in the auditorium, some were held outdoors on the patio, thus offering the Thunderbelles and band a bigger part to playin boosting the school morale. Nluzzle the Bulldogs, Ground the Flyers, and Whip the Wildcats were a few of the slogans adopted by committee members which were combined with a high-flying victory flag to keep enthusiasm alive. Two novel ideas were a card section initiated by Pep Club, and a snake line, held before the ninth annual game with Palmer. Jane fKathy Doanej convinces the audience of the Tribe's arrival.
