Roy's High School Alumni Assembly












Next year Roy will have his 20 year high school reunion.  He was asked to participate in the homecoming assembly this year to represent his 1993 class.  He was asked to be Ashi Babba, which was a person at the high school who would get the crowd excited and express their school spirit.  The tradition was Ashi Babba would yell "Ashi Babba!  Then the crowd would yell back, "Hey!  Hey!".  Ashi Babba and the crowd would do this three times and usually at the end.  Ashi Babba would take off his shirt and have "SF" (Spanish Fork) on the back or SF Rules, etc.  Well, Roy wasn't planning on taking off his shirt until his mom showed up before the assembly started.  She had the paint in hand, said he had to take his shirt off, and have something written on his back...plus he had to show off his muscles.  With his mom's encouragment....he did it. LOL!  He did a great job, and the crowd went wild.  I heard some kids in the crowd say, "He is huge!"  I just laughed.  They had him participate in other parts of the assembly.  I think he had a good time and was able to see friends he hadn't seen in a long time.
