Everyone tried for a seat down front in the large gym when those graceful, blue-eyed, blond Finnish Gymnasts displayed their skills. This was only one of the outstanding programs presented by the Assembly Committee of the College Association. Other highlights were the musical presentation by the Fifth Army Band which almost knocked a few bricks loose from the institution, and the fascinating and informative lecture by Dr. Evelyn Duvall on “College Courtship and Marriage.’ The Assembly Committee was chaired by Ralph Drake. Its function is to provide the College Community with weekly programs of a broad educational and entertaining nature. . , - • sSHs 1956 Mr. Gun L. Sehuytema. Professor of Education.
