D-i'Q'5iQfQ Q-LQ-Q,-Q ASSEMIQQ-I-REVIEWS SEPTEMBER 21, 1942. Mr. Reed had charge of the assembly program this Monday morning. 1-Ie first had each member of the football squad come forward and pick a girl from his class to represent him in a little skit to be given'. The girls were then provided with football suits and head gear. The girls had to go through some of the actions of a football game. OCTOBER 2. 'An assembly was called this morning at 8:30. The hand gave a short concert, playing: A College Medley , Men in Gray , Evening Shadows , June Caprice and the school song, On Alexis . Following this Professor Hake made several announcements.. Especially he told the student body that this was Mr. Nelsonfs last day at Ai C. H. S. Mr. Nelson then spoke briefly to the school. The cheerleaders led the student body through a few yells and then Dorothy McKeague gave a few words of encouragement and instructions for the game with Roseville Friday afternoon. OCTOBER 5. Miss Gillham's home room gave the assembly program. The stage was turned over to Dorothy Baker and Dorothy Dahl. A short program called Time Marches On was given with Archie McKelvie and LaVerne Bailey playing the role of Time . The events of the past two weeks were acted out by various members of the home room. Following this, a short play entitled The Lunch Room was given by Dorothy McKeague and Lenard Kenney, who represented two High School students, and Alice Hanna and Dean Anderson, who were two of their teachers. The scene took place during a lunch hour while the characters were eating and sharing thier food. OCTOBER 12. Mrs. Hakc's home room presented a play for the assembly this morning, the story of which was based on the discovery of America by Colum- bus and the developments of the United States, including the invention of the first steamboat and the automobile, and several other historical events., The highlight of the program was the actual appearance of a steamboat and automobile on the stage. OCTOBER 19. Glen Barrington read a few articles from the Super Senseless Sophomorette. The assembly program was then put in charge of the speech class. Everyone looks forward to a speech club assembly and so it was with this one. The speech club first put on a teachers' meeting. We wondered whether it was pattern- ed after a real teachers' meeting. Then a meeting followed, carrying it out according to correct parliamentary procedure. OCTOBER 26. The Assembly was brought to order Monday morning to hear a very long list of announcements, by Mr. Hake, who was stalling for time for Mr. Swope, as he was supposed to have charge of the assembly program that morning, but could not put it on as Vvaltcr Medhurst, the main character, was having winter weather trouble and could not get to school. The assembly was dismissed and everyone went to his first period class, only to be called back the next period to hear their assembly program they thought they had missed. The program consisted of a short but interesting playlet, followed by a cornet solo by Ross Moore. The program ended with a pantomime entitled In the Park . NOVEMBER 2. The regular Monday morning assembly was presented by Miss Sullivan's Home Rccm. 'rhe program consisted of several numbers, followed by 2. pantomime with the following characters: Mary Avis Phillipon, reader, Ralph Winkler, doctor, Mary Ann Phillips, nurse, Lee Rohr, patient. The program was enjoyed very much. NOVEMBER 9. The assembly program was in charge of Mrs. Watson's third year Home Ec class. The speaker, Geraldine Poole, told how their class had chosen a boy and a girl from each class and then the most popular of these were voted on. The results were that Alan Shaver was acclaimed the most popular boy and Jane Edwards the most popular girl. One member of the cast was not present, so the second part of the program could not be presented. Everyone was disappointed, because we all knew it would have been a great success. NOVEMBER 23. Miss Mader's Homeroom presented a very interesting as- gembly Monday morning. After lV1r. Hake's announcements, Betty Likely intro- duced Anna Louise Elder, who gave a very serious oration on the woes of a Fresh- man. Several other numbers were enjoyed, including an accordion solo by Velma Hawkinsg baton twirling by Rosemary Lo Bianco, with Bernadme Brown accom- ' th . panmg em Qcontinued on page in back part of bookj
