CAUMDAR QE EVENTS y ir here were twenty-five assemblies this term, one radio broadcast, four evening and two afternoon dances. Of the assemblies, one was a pay assembly, one was a special invitation assembly for students new to Burbank, two were evening programs, and two programs were repeated by request. The court scene enacted by court officers, and members of the HS-j, class was so excellent and well -liked that it was used in three programs before different groups, and as part of the radio broadcast. The student plays were excellent, and greatly enjoyed. The Burbank amateur programs made us wish for more opportunities of this type. Book Week introduced a program which will grow with our new and expanding library. The band had an assembly to themselves, while the orchestra was heard in conjunction with several programs. There were some beautiful dance numbers during the term, especially the folk dances. Of all the programs the pageant at Christmas time with its story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus is the best loved. As near as possible the Juniors, H7, L8 and H8 pupils, and the Seniors, L9, H9, Lio pupils have had assemblies alternate weeks. The student body presidents, Robert Sabini, and Chiyoko Nagata, and the student body vice-presidents, Helen Hansen, and Robert Tollberg have, each in turn, taken charge of the assemblies, introducing the speakers, conducting the flag salute, and dismissing the groups. They conducted then- meetings in a most praiseworthy manner, showing poise and initiative. September 2. Floyd Hass — Death Valley Days. Pay assembly. September 16. Senior Assembly.
