Samba Ummm Qww Mmmm MWA Znfaqmwi From the orchestra pit rise strains of a Strauss waltz or the swelling basso of an operatic aria as the auditorium darkens for the evening's performance. The senior orchestra is composed of musi- cians Whose interests lie not only in playing finer music, but giving them contact with music of a symphonic nature Within the limits of their ability to play it, and acquaint them with musi- cal literature by the great composers. One has to love music to be able to play it. Sidney Lanier said, Music is love in search of a Word. Some of the members of the Stagger Class are I-I. Willemstein, D. Somerdyke, and I. Swenson.

'W -112- The master of ceremonies announces that special attention has been given to produce finer assemblies for the student body's enjoy- ment. lt gives many students the chance tor recog- nition ot their talents and at the same time pro- vides leisure moments for the pupils. The reason in giving assemblies is to edu- cate and enlighten the student body. ln a passing review ot the numerous assem- blies sponsored at Ottawa this year we chose the following as the most popular: the Christ- mas Assembly, the one observing Pan-Ameri- can Day, the Michigan State Police Demonstra- tion, and the one commemorating Lincoln's Birthday. In the presentation ol every assembly it has brought together a closer understanding be- tween the students and faculty. Responsibility and the willingness to work falls on the shoul- ders ot all who take part in their production.
