'A O gathering ol the clan All of 2397 students in one room could mean confusion, but actually it means just another assembly at ETHS, the only event in which the whole student body is assembled at one time. The year's assemblies, planned by the Assemblies Committee to satisfy the interests of every student, started with the fall ac- tivities assembly, at which the presidents of the various school ac- tivities were introduced, and ended with the prize assembly in June. Prominent among the assemblies, averaging about one per month, were those sponsored by the P.T.A. to introduce speakers drawn from areas important in our American life. A unique feature of this type of assembly was the two hour bull sessions in which selected seniors met each speaker. Another outstanding assembly opened the Evanston Youth Conference, with Dr. Alexander from Oklahoma City speaking on the theme of the conference, Seek, find, and live God's way. gr ff l , Upper: What sweeter music can we sing . . .? concludes Mrs. Jacobson's original carol at the Christmas assembly.

Other plans, however, have been more constructive: for example, the formation of a Safety Committee and a Religion Committee. In addition, progress in inter-school relations has also been made by means of swap dances, inter-council meetings with New Trier, the Lagniappe show, and College Day, also shared with New Trier.
