A girls' quarette from La Verne College entertained by singing well known songs and novelty numbers. The value of an education was the topic of a talk by Cameron Beck of the New York Stock Exchange, A variation of the unusual type of musical programs was one given by the Durfelt and Ebby evangelists. The program consisted of marimbaphones and bells. The Chevrolet Motor Company presented some very interesting moving pictures on the manufacture of automobiles, safety first, and similar topics. We had an unusual program when Ernest Nickel whistled for us. He gave some advice and information on whistling and during the next day or so, there seemed to be a number of embryo or would-be whistlers around school. All students and alumni turned out for the annual Home Coming Day. The afternoon was spent in an assembly program and rally, ending with basket- ball and football games between the alumni and the students. The Spartan Knights honored the mothers on Mothers' Day on May eighth with an assembly program. The boys' glee club assisted them by singing. In keeping with the modern times, the sophomores conducted an amateur contest. A large amount of talent was found in the four classes as a result of the program. -39.-
