tftiwzuldting Assemblies Give Added Pleasure to Student! In a varied program of assemblies rangf ing from high inspiration to promotion of athletics through songs and cheers, Englef wood students have had many opportunif ties to round out their classroom educaf tions. This unusual assembly program is due to the guiding genius of the principal, Mr. joseph C. Thompson. Through group education in assemblies, the Illinois Bell Telephone Company and the General Motors Company were able to explain the operation and value of recent inventions and scientinc discoveries. The cultural aspect of the assembly prof gram was expressed in a variety of conf certs. Enjoyable afternoons were spent when the North Shore String Quartet gave a program of chamber music and when the Jackson Trio, two of whom are former Englewood students, gave excel' lent interpretations of semifclassical num' bers and hymns.

Thompson during talk on Defy One Can Drawf' Page 24 One of the most stimulating assemblies was presented by the Panel of Americans who prepared the audience for a more tolerant outlook toward all segments makf ing up America. A technicolor sound movie on milk preparation and care from the time it leaves the country until it is delivered to the home was presented through the cout' tesy of the Bowman Dairy Company. And No One Asked , a choral speech number of Morris Reich, was used as the main theme of the Armistice Day program. It emphasized human brotherhood and American unity. In cofoperation with the American Education Council, the Orators presented a radio skit, showing the destructive propf erties of the atomic bomb and the necesf sity for its control. The pep assemblies, produced with the help of Mrs. Edith Olson, Mr. T. L. Two' mey, and Mr. Roy E. Quant, are stimuf lating and enjoyable. Cheer leaders exercise every effort to urge the student body to join in the cheers. Quiz numbers with tickets as awards have proved interesting and amusing. Harold Russell, a handless veteran of World War II, and Lt. James Whittaker, Rickenbacker's companion in the Pacific, gave inspirational talks which will never be forgotten. Dudley Crafts Watson, a member of the Art Institute of Chicago, demonstrated to the students his theory that everyone can draw. Mr. Watson convinced the audience that they should spend more time learning to develop their talents. -YVONNE ORENDORF .flssemlaly Talent fopposite pagebc Top row-Harold Russell, Miss Shirley Linder reading I Remember Mama g Lt.
