Assemblies covered subjects of general in- terest and each one was considered a treat. In the line of music, we had the orchestra and choir's annual presentations and the tra- ditional Christmas community sing. A short religious play was given at the Christmas assembly this year. The University Players and Dirk and Bauble assemblies composed the dramatic programs We enjoyed. Among the favorites of our gatherings were the pep assemblies, of which Homecoming commands the greatest amount of interest. We also appreciated and profited from the assemblies of a more serious nature. Included in these were a program of political interest concerned with the organization of World Federalists, a scientific demonstration on col- ors, and a speaker on the subjects of alcohol and gambling.

Mingle Socially School mixers sponsored by various clubs have become a steady habit with many of our dancing enthusiasts. The typical mixer is held in the cafeteria and offers entertainment following games for most students. For the benefit of those who like refreshmants dur- ing the evening, concessions are usually pro- vided by the sponsoring group. Two featured mixers this year were the traditional WPA mixer and Dogpatch Hop for which girls dated boys and we came in jeans. Music is generally furnished by records. However, we sometimes enjoy such bands as Chuck Hall's and Rollo Sissell's for Variety. On one occasion, we had the advantage of the ten-piece band of Bob Harris because of ill- ness in the five-piece band which had been engaged. Fast-music fans, those who prefer slow dance music, and even those who don't dance enjoy our well-attended mixers. Uheckr on Silltlvlll Vouncil Mix:-1' lfli-Y Mixer
