14 THEQUILL LONG ASSEMBLIES The chairman of the program committee was jean Clark. She appointed Kathleen Dailey, Dallas Edwards, David Jamison, Eloise Wood, and lane Ward as her assist- ants. The first long assembly of the year was an account by Miss Eva M. Towne of her experience aboard the fated Dixie Liner. Miss Towne gave a vivid picture of the hardships the passengers were forced to en- dure. The following week the School Boy Syn- copators, with Frances Bond as vocalist, fur- nished a musical program of popular songs. Every member of the orchestra was a high school student. One morning we had the pleasure of hav- ing Mrs. Guy S. Holt on our platform. She gave many interesting readings on varied subjects. On one occasion Mr. Kenneth Lee, with slide pictures of the forestry department, furnished the long assembly program. A professional baseball player, Don Brennan, from Augusta gave us a few facts about the training camps of professional baseball players. A An instrumental trio, led by Mr. George E. Goodie, Augusta violinist, presented an enjoyable assembly. The other musicians were Mrs. Dorothy Nye Metzgar, piano, and Mrs. Lee Gorham, 'cello. A talk on law was presented by Mr. Paul Fitzpatrick. He explained the court system very clearly. At the last long assembly before Temper- ance Day the Rev. Raymond L. Hart spoke on temperance. He pointed out the effect alcohol has on human beings. Mr. Cymbrid Hughes, the pastor of the Green Street Methodist Church of Au- gusta, spoke very interestingly on The Challenge of Youth. On two occasions we had the pleasure of having with us Mr. C. Harry Edwards of the State Department of Education. The pictures he showed are one phase of the nation-wide safety campaign. The play, Hot Tip, was presented by three Freshman members of the Dramatic Club. The cast was Jane Ward, Natalie Cole, and Thomas Demers. Between the acts Julie Roberts entertained us by a mono- logue entitled, Rats in the Balcony or An Exit on Two Chairs. The first time Mayor Edwin P. Ladd spoke to us he portrayed Gardiner as it looked when there were many prosperous mills and factories on the stream and river. In his second speech he told us of the different types of government through which the city of Gardiner has passed. After the members of the National Honor Society had been chosen, they sat on the stage at the next long assembly. The oath was taken by the new members. Under the supervision of Miss Eva M. Towne, the orchestra furnished the pro- gram at the last long assembly before class day. I THE ATHLETIC FAIR The Athletic Fair, held on December 13, 1935, was a great success.
