Among the various musical assemblies presented, were parts from the Christmas, Fall, and Spring Concerts, and a special music department assembly. At Christmas traditional Christmas Carols were sung, and the A Cappella choir marched through the darkened auditorium bearing small effective lights. 38 Probably one ofthe most enioyed assem- blies of the year is the Tolo Kangaroo Court assembly. Students who have vio- lated the rules of Tolo Week are called upon to pay the penalty. Anthony and Cleo- patra was the theme of the Student Council Assembly, which proved to be amusing to students and faculty.
