The formal opening of each assembly was performed by members of the Student Coun- cil with President Franklin Cooper presiding. Miss Pat Armould, Miss Laura Milam, Miss Ruth Moore, Miss Maurine Morrow, Miss Ruth Scott, Mrs. Nellie McCreary, D. Bruce Selby, Harold Duckett, and G. Ray Bonham deserve orchids for their well-spent time on the faculty assembly committees. Among the fall assemblies we remember best are: D. Bruce Selby's rope tricks, Bravette skits, the football team on the field running plays with Coach Gibson narrating, the cheerleaders' efforts, and the Student Council's example of Roberts Rules of Order. Enid High was privileged to have Roe Bartle, nationally known Boy Scout executive, banker, and world-wide traveler, in one of the best assemblies of the year. Mr. Bartle has a booming voice and a dynamic person- ality which kept his audience hypnotized throughout his talk on Americanism, citizen- ship, and our opportunities in school. With Iohn Dykes emceeing, the initial request assembly went off with a bang. Hillbillies Drue Meloy and Carole Gungoll sang Philadelphia Lawyer, Ronald Bobbitt played Deep Purple, Evelyn Leachman danced to Top Secret. Panhandle Ragi' and Quicksilver were strummed by steel guitarists lack Ritter and Neil Myers. Bill Patrick mystified the audience with two tricks, while Because of You was crooned by David Tarpenning, and Norma lean Hooveris reading The Speech Teacher's Nightmare, and Amateur Gum-chewing, which was done in characterization, showed that Enid High not only had a quantity of talent but also quality. The Enid High mixed chorus was in excellent voice as they sang in two assemblies first semester. Before Thanksgiving Ole Mose Put Pharoah in His Place and Gloria ln Excelsisi' were presented with a talk concerning American Education Weekl' by DeWitt Waller, superintendent of schools. As the Yuletide season drew near Song of Christmas and Hallelujah Chorus were given by the chorus in connection with the nativity scene portrayed by the drama class. Perhaps the Armistice Day assembly was the most impressive of the many asemblies during the year. The speech department's selection of They Serve Who Only Stand and Wait was appropriate while Mr. Selby read the American Legion Dedication for the formal presentation of the Hag which flies in front of our building. Taps was played by Bill Shore for all war dead and going back to classes, we seemed to grasp a new and deeper meaning of this thing called war. ln a lighter mood, the Christmas band assembly jingled its merry way through such numbers as Christmas Nloodsf' Sleigh Ride, 'lRudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and Here Comes Santa Claus. As a featured soloist, Vida Chenoweth played on the marimba. Second semester two programs by the radio class were heard over the P.A. One was of a humorous nature while the other had the more serious nature of Brotherhood after which the Washington elm tree, a gift of Iohn Vater and H. B. Bass, was planted by the student body and class officers in front of the building. One of the most popular assemblies of the year was a community sing put on by the mixed chorus. The students were led by the chorus as they sang such popular numbers as Slowpoke,U Cry, Because of You, Down Yonderf, The Little White Cloud That Cried, Sin, Tell Me Whyf' and lt Is No Secret. The Teen Town Band played several modern selections, and Helen Mixdgett closed this assembly with her interpretations of Rhapsody in Blue and Prelude in A Sharp. The request assembly was such a success that we had a repeater. Dick McKnight announced as Richard Merritt tooted out 'lLassus Trombone. Betty Smith sang i'My Iohannf' Narda Wilcox danced acrobatically to Stardust, Dick Godschalk jazzed his way through an original composition, Berna Lou Byers sang Never,' and The Lovliest Night of the Year, Marie Dudley twirled to the march Washington Post and Ion Caton crooned Please, Mr. Sun, and Slowpoke.', The i'American Patrol never sounded like that before! A Los Angeles blind boy made sounds come from an organ that we never knew could be imitated. A girl from Wichita, Kansas, also blind, sang Italian Street Song. Then the boy played any number the students requested. This program was spon- sored by Books for the Blind a free-will offering was taken up for the procuring of braille editons for the blind. Probably the most excited we ever got at an assembly was the Monday morning after our basketball team became the State Champions. Let 'er rip, let 'er roarln could never again be roared so loud. After we calmed down so Mr. Selby could be heard, all the coaches and the boys on the team were introduced individually. Mr. Waller was there to congratulate us, and setting on a table in front of the team was the tall, gleaming, gold trophy. There was wild fcontinued on page 92j
