'K A S S E M B L I E S When Mrs. Rodman gave the start To Cumnock interest in the Chest She found there was a Cumnock heart Under every Cumnock vest. We all voice hope that there will be More singing done by the Cumnock glee, They chased away our blues one day, We thank you, Mrs. Trethawayl One Friday's assembly was well worth our time, For our guest was a speaker who spoke well in rhyme. Some said they couldn't remember a single Thing they liked better than A. Euwer's jingle. Mrs. Winters, the motion picture adviser, One day left us considerably wiser On matters of moviesg and such was her style She received much applause and many a smile. When lshtiopi came to sing, His Indian music made the rafters ring, His voice, his presence, acting rare, Gave us drama-excellent fare. When S. S. Myrick sailed in here And intoned in a voice so clear, With no falters, ifs, or buts- He discoursed on coconuts, When Mrs Trine recited for us, Cumnock answered in a chorus: Dear Mrs. Trine, it is definite You're 'ln Tune with the Infinite '. When Faulkner fenced with Mr. Craig, He would not any quarter beg The loser groaned and moaned with pain, Curses, l've beeen foiled again. 98

A S S E M B L l E S We've seldom heard anything finer or grander Than the speech that was given by Kay Alexanderg Few other speakers could quite reach her place In beauty and charm and in inherent grace. When Maestro Donner did begin To play upon his violin, Cumnock paid the highest honor To the mighty Maestro Donner. The fashion show of Miss MacPhail, The Cumnock ladies to regale, Was well received in splendid style, As beauty trickled down the aisle. The students all did rave and rant, Their praises of that Mr. Dant, And thereupon they did rejoice ln Miss Cummings' lovely voice. A well done assembly we quickly agree, Was given on teeth by a friend from S. C., You bury your molars, she said, with no wreath, Too little attention is paid to your teeth. A strong man with his tricks so neat Swept Cumnock solely off its feet, He tore up papers by the ream, , And abashed the football team. For her fine work it looks As if we adored our Mrs. Brooks, Our admiration will not stop, We think, dear lady, you're the top. Assemblies pleased us everyone, From the day they had begun, We look ahead another year Anticipating joy and cheer.
