THE 1931 SPHINX Assemblies g In the days of our fathers, assemblies were usually pretty much of a cut-and-dried thing. I've heard it said on good authority that a most desirable thing then was to be able to cut assembly and get away with it. Every Friday morning we have assembly, and it isn't unusual to hear someone say, I didn't feel well this morningg I didn't think I'd be able to come to school, but I got here anyway. I didn't want to miss assembly. Who would want to miss assemblies like these? October 10-Columbus Day Q2-Reel Picturej. 17-Pep Meeting. 24-Farce on Macbeth. 31-Crowell Publishing Company Campaign.

THE 1931 SPHINX The Stage Technicians If we wander behind the curtain, we will always find the iechnicians, whose work must go faithfully on, unpraised and unsung, in order that the painted puppets, who parade the stage, may carry on. On the technicians' shoulders rests much of the fate of the show. Every property, from the mahogany piano to the perennial jar of smelling salts for the sweet young thing's fainting act, must be in its right place within as short a period of time as possible, so that the audience may not be kept in too much suspense between acts. True, technicians do not have to face the eyes of a critical audienceg but they do have to face the irate eyes of an equally irate actor if they have misplaced a property which is necessary for the furtherance of the plot or the actions of a principal. Q Our technicians have done excellent work. Members of the organization are: joel Peterson, President, Charles Denzau, Secretary-Treasurer, Raymond Reul, Vice President, Harold Wilson, Caroll Guinee, Louis Kuhar, Neil Clark, William A.
