ASSEMBLIES At eleven o'clock on Friday morns Like hunters following the call of horns We to our weekly assemblies go Ready with applause, or a Hey-Di-Ho. Some delight and some fall cold , ln any case Mrs. Briggs is toldg But just as it is hard to rhyme- One can't please each ALL the time. The Shry-Ocks with their music fine Cave pleasure all along the line: And Dr. Clemens of U.S.C. Entranced us with his Diamondry. The Students' Hi jinx topped the week The rhumba take off left us weak, As Vera and Bill made us roll in the aisle As they imitated Mr. Winans-Mrs. Briggs' style Mr. Will Carroway, pianist great, Roused clapping to make the rafters shakeg While Loraine C-erard, pretty of tace, Accordion-played and sang with rare grace. Tommy Tucker of movie-radio tame Made animal sounds at call of a name: Assisted he was by Miss Dumond, Singer de luxe, singer of charm. A cartoonist named Mr. Bob Wood Drawings made and they were goodg Colored pictures shown by Santa Fe Made us long to be up and away. Entertained we were by L.A. Glee Directed by Miss Blythe's arstistryg One day's talk was by Sergeant Heath Who said: Drive carefully or wear a wreath. Pomona C-lee Club at Christmas Time Put us in tune' with Christmas chimeg Mr. Swallow talked on Stratosphere And took us tar away from here.

Dr. Warren of Lincoln's greatness spo-ke And patriotism within us woke. Miss Matsuoko of japan Showed us slides of that lovely land. Bill von Klipstein won each heart By his excellent singing and evident art. A weaver of linen entertained us well He had beautiful goods to sell. Our own Mr. Craig staged a fencing fest With Mr. Laughlin of Columbia, as guest An excellent foil he proved to be And the contest thrilled the company. Television gave us a treat indeed And let us vision future need. Dr. Blakeslee who Lincoln knew Cave us Lincolniana, fresh and new. Mrs. Grace Bush gave monologues good With humorous and philosophic food. Fairfax Girls' club called C-lee Gave us delightful melody. The Cumnock Players, full of fire, Acted several plays to fulfil our desire To watch them grow and ever improve, To see them splendid in every move. Mrs. Probst told us real Bible lore- Of knowledge she has a very great store. Our Glee Clubs two entertained us oft And with music lifted our souls aloft. A May Day Festival of rhythm and color, An offering by each Cumnock scholar, Made us aware of the beauties of Spring And made US wish we COULD dance and sing The year has sped, assemblies are over: Mrs. Briggs feels she's at rest in clover' She offers the job to whoever chooses, And wishes him luck if he wins OR loses. But it's been fun, and friendship and joy To feel the comradeship of each girl and boy We only ask that in years to come We have such sports in the total sum.
