ia . . - P8500 Crea m, confetti, and concerts give the typical day a jar Sure-shot contestant creams Mr. T, J. Ross as he gets the bad end of the deal at the Price a Deal pep assembly, Roslyn Burnette, the big winner of the day, won the grand prize of throwing a cream pie at Mr. Ross. Not even the mountains knew the meaning of the word peace when rou- tine did a topsy-turvy and the sound of assemblies filled the air. Crammed onto every square inch of the color-coded bleachers, the juniors and seniors watched for the sophomores' shock at the first pep assembly. Most sophomores said that they had never heard so much noise in their whole life. J.V. cheer- leader Karen Cook agreed that an initiation into the Spirit of '76 left her a little numb at first, and for a few minutes, she was so overwhelmed that she forgot she was supposed to be cheering. For Head Cheerleader Robin Roach. pep assemblies meant hours of practice and planning and keeping fingers crossed that the pep assembly would live up to its name. With Shining Star and Takin' Care of Business as back-up music, the cheerleaders kept the agenda rolling with stunts and skits. Two skits that brought the most laughs were the chorus line of guys competing for the Ugly Man on Campus Contest and the take-off of a quiz show called Price a Deal. Cheerleaders weren't the only ones who wound up center stage on the gym floor during the school year. Senior Renee Watson. selected as Christmas Madonna, remembers waking up the morning of the Christmas Assembly with butterflies in her stomach. But when she reflected on the reason for what she was doing, the moment became very real for her. Butterflies squeezed their way into the lives of SCA candidates who answered impromptu questions about school life. Performances by a rock group, Freefare, and the United States Army Military Tach Band rounded out the schedule of typical days that man- aged. by hook or by crook, to turn out not-so-typical. Change of command finds SCA President Barry Simmons transferring his gavel to Darrell Davis at the SCA Installation Assembly. 28 Assemblies l J
