FALL ASSEMBLIES STORMY WEATHER CHORUS Lauchner. McClellan. Ott. Brown. Stone. Powell. Rodebush. Skroder In answer to the students’ demands for more assemblies, a well-rounded program was planned for the year. Teachers and pupils combined their talents to provide entertainment during assembly periods. During the year, each class assembled the best talent among its members to furnish one program. En- tertainment was not always the purpose of the assemblies, however. Mr. Keilholz. a member of the Board of Education, related the highlights of his tour of England to us in one fall assembly. To help observe national holidays, the ministers of our churches prepared impressive and inspiring programs at Easter and in observance of World Day of Prayer. The hours spent in our auditorium were happy and benefi- cial ones that we shall never forget. Dick Hall . . . some salesman! LORETTA Walton

Ousi fyisiitActivity . . DRAMATICS NIGHT Freshman-Sophomore Dramatics Night was given to en- able the freshmen and sophomores to receive experience in acting and begin to earn points for admission to the dramatics honoraries. Although the juniors presented a class play, it was decided that in order to give them more opportunity to act. a junior dramatics night would be presented. Four one- act plays, some comedies and some serious, were coached by members of the dramatics class. Plays presented at the Fresh- man-Sophomore Dramatics Night were “Jerry Breaks a Date. “Elmer and the Lovebug. “A Mind of Her Own.” and “The Cloak of Evil. a serious play. Presented by the juniors were the following: “All Carrs to the Rescue.” “Fred- erick.” “Coming 'Round the Mountain.” and the serious play. “Stars of Valor.” Although both the coaches and actors were inexperienced in their respective fields, they combined hard work and enthusiasm to produce an evening of pleasant entertainment.

WE STUDY LANGUAGES Miss Hill's German Class Retaining the popularity they have always had, the French classes completed another suc- cessful year of study. The instructors. Miss Buck and Miss Moore, were very busy with projects to earn money, help with the war ef- fort. and provide a good time for their students. Class periods were usually spent on transla- tions and the conjugation of verbs, but fre- quently the pupils were entertained with inter- esting stories of their instructor's travels. People walking through the halls often heard strains of French songs coming from the classrooms. Although the language proves to be difficult to learn, students always enjoy the fascinating study of the people of France. Qesiman. Man Deutch Spricht!—one speaks German. This was the aim of the German department. When a student entered the German classroom, he began talking German. Classes brought let- ters which grandparents or parents received from Germany. They also brought to study anything sent from Germany. Writing papers entirely in German script were required from everyone. All headings on daily work were written in German. You can see by these proj- ects that the German department, taught by Miss Hills, is active in promoting the German language. Miss Moore's French Class I 24 1 Qnestcli
