Ten Gard, as interpreted by the group, amazed and pleased the gay crowd. The onrush of crew members from the auditorium was not half so rugged as the hurry to leave the ship at 3:15.

Others studied maps and concentrated on lessons for the oncoming afternoon classes. Oho, ye mateys! What a merry way to rest between working hours!

Gene DeFrank handed one of our many Thanksgiv- ing baskets to Major Payton of the Salvation Army as Helen Loughlin watched.

preceded diAmiAAal time Big orange busses rolled into the parking lot and an on- rush of students loaded them in record time. Don Bright, carrying his violin, watched the photographer. St. Bernard and Bradford Senior High School students ex- changed light talk as they left the auditorium. The assembly proved to be one of immediate worth for essay writers. When every Friday rolled around, our popular assembly committee, under the guidance of Miss Mutter, had prepared some sort of entertainment in the auditorium. Our Sharps and Flats seemed to be the favorites. Their version of Ten Gard amused every listener. An assembly on safe driving presented Pro- fessor Amos Neyhart who addressed the audience in such an understanding and humorous way that every individual in the audience responded with alert attention. Four people were greatly honored upon their selection as winners in the United Nations Essay Contest sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bradford. William Morrow and Patience Griltin won a trip to the United Nations headquarters in New York City to observe representatives in action. William Os- borne and Jack Shea walked off with cash awards at the exciting assembly. Modern Living classes chose to act out a short skit highlighting the problems of an outsider in a high school group. The actors ran through the play twice, the second time showing how to avoid of- fending the outsider. Following the skit a panel discussion summed up valuable points. The Christmas Pageant and the Thanksgiving Assembly observed those holidays beautifully and reverently. Acting secretaries of the United Na- tions displayed Christmas customs in foreign lands. At Thanksgiving baskets of food were prepared for needy area residents and were displayed on stage during the assembly. Prior to dismissal, the afternoon announce- ments were given. Popular items on the public ad- dress system were the lost and found, social events, and the telephone messages in the office. At 3:15 many a student hurried home while others patiently awaited busses. It was truly the end of an exciting day. Ju xii' - F T P A g L195dl. QF .esA,4s,- N-45.4-f,Q..,-,,. 13
