necessary gaiet and laughter with which to start the Christmas holidays, time was their version of Professor Kaltenmeyer’s kindergarten. Long to be remembered at this c The assemblies of January 12 and 26 were based on the vocational field of aviation and Marjorie Rose Gilroy, stewardess, and Captain Jac k Knight recounted main of the duties of this type of a job. Glimpses of the Senior Play were given on Feburary 2. while on the 6th. Albert Tangora. the champion typist illustrated his amazing speed. On the 9th, Mrs. Bertha Ashley Mess gave a very interesting address on Boy-Girl problems. In connection with this, a special assembly for girls was held on the 13th at which Hr. Phillip Yarow continued the topic. When Dr. Marshall and his soil appeared on March 12, the assembled students were carried away to far-off Australia where that nation’s history and culture was expounded. Returning from educational travels” to our present life, the student body was initiated into the mysteries of the life ol a G Man by means ol a movie on the F. H. I. on April 9, and the 17th. a lecture on counterfeit money held our interest. The navy was revealed on April 24. as an excellent vocational field. Thus, with Jim WiIson’s Reporting the World for You” on May 23 and the presentation of the senior class ke h Thomas Vavra to junior class president, hdwin Malenius the assembly series drew to a close. The memories which linger on throughout tin years. however, will often bring to mind these happy student gatherings, the pledging of allegiance to the Hag. the stirring rendition ol our National Anthem, and the numerous topics opened for discussion.
