Assemblies Improve as The school year 1962-63 marked a change in the assembly system. Because of increased enrollment, assemblies were divided into two shifts. Assemblies were financed by the Student Coun¬ cil’s magazine drive. The Council held its own assembly to encourage sales to earn the money. A panel of representatives from four classes presented an assembly on the Community Chest. After touring Hammond charities, the students took part in a “Truth or Consequences” program hosted by Clark’s own Mark Moynihan. The panel mem¬ bers were asked serious and stunt questions. Wrong answers to questions found Tom Allison and Barb Hered twisting and Tom Snider singing. Students were enlightened in the facts of the March of Dimes peanut drive in a Talent Scout assembly. Other assemblies throughout the year were presented by the Vocal Music department. One of many assemblies for 1962-63 was the Earlham College Choir which spellbound the students during the hour program. 20

Participants Harmonize Facts and Comedy A Bell Telephone representative is about to turn these four Clarkites into a human tele¬ phone line. This assembly informed the students on Telestar and how it is and will be used. Senior Bobby Priesol demonstrates his musical ability by “playing the water.” The music from this new instrument was heard during the Community Chest assembly. Arthur Condo Godfrey rises as he introduces his next guest, Moishe Kokot Pepic, in the Community Chest Assembly. A wide variety of talent was presented at the assembly in order to inspire students’ enthusiasm.
