:Sponsor l sewn . if Bill Flora wrestles with an answer at the Sweetheart Assembly. Exchange assemblies were the main concern of the assemblies committee this year. Several assemblies were sent to other city schools, and, in turn, Cheyenne Mountain's Hootenany was presented at Mitchell. The Golden Horseshoe Review, the Homecom- ing talent show was presented at Wasson and Chey- enne Mountain High Schools. Hard work and imagination on the part of the as- semblies committee members resulted in a variety of entertaining assemblies, such as queen presentations, band, and choir concerts. Secretary of Assemblies Don McNeilley worked closely with assemblies committee members and the faculty advisor, Miss Lynn Johnstone, to present a variety of assemblies to the student body. Enlivened Pep Assemblies Don McNeilley explains procedures to partici' pants at the talent show tryouts. Up for re-election, Congressman Frank Evans tells his views to Mitchell students.

Many assemblies highlighted the year for morale committee members. Each pep assembly included skits, songs, pep talks by the coaches, and cheers. At the Wasson-Mitchell pep assembly, the teaching staff formed its own cheer section, complete with signs, whistles, and cheerleaders. Major events of the year that came under the di- rection of morale committee were an outdoor pep as- sembly at the beginning of the year, numerous Home- coming activities, including the bonfire and bomb hunt, and the Wasson-Mitchell pep assembly. With the leadership of Ed Bishop and Mrs. Char- leen Colvin, morale committee devoted much time and energy to preparing skits for the pep assemblies and promoting school spirit among the student body. During the Wasson-Mitchell assembly, Ed Bishop introduces another skit. Morale and Assemblies Committees President of the Senior CI ass, Don Holdman, lifts the lid off the spirit can while the crowd cheers.

Bruce Clarke inspects the safety stickers in the new senior parking lot Safety Committee accomplished many things this year. One of the best accomplishments this year was a new senior parking lot. The committee was in charge of the lot and gave the seniors safety stickers to put on the car window. The committee checked these stick- ers to make sure that only seniors were using their special lot nearest the main building. Other duties included patroling the cafeteria and the halls. Secretary of Safety, Bruce Clarke, presided over the committee meetings which mainly concen- trated on ideas to keep the cafeteria clean. 4 Safety Helps lnitiateSenior Parking Lot Secretary of Safety, Bruce Clark, takes suggestions from Mark Britton Nlax Brown Randall Becker and Paul Flehmer
