'tCooperation spells Success, and thus the students of the school pay their tribute by cooperating with the organization for its benefits and success. The Christmas Social was given by the Athletic Association and was very well attended. The play 'tUncle Henry was given in the High School Auditorium October 9 and 10, 1931. The play was sponsored by Miss Mildred Skonnard. The towns- people and the Groveton High School pupils took part. The play was very successful. E' Page Thirty

ASSEMBLIES OCTOBER 21 - The Seventh, Eighth and Freshman Classes gave the assembly on October 21. They por- trayed a court scene with Bad English as the defendant. The defendant, who associates with many students at G. H. S., was pronounced guilty by the jury. This assembly was in charge of Miss Corey. OCTOBER 29 - Friday our assembly was divided into two sessions. The first session was held in honor of the deceased Thomas A. Edison, and was under the direction of Mr. Sawyer. In the afternoon Mr. Kingsbury, who was sent by the Royal Typewriting Comp-any, gave an interesting and instructive demonstration of typing. We hope his instructions will be of great help to the typ- ing studentsin Groveton High School. NOVEMBER 12 -- A two-act play, Diogones Looks for a Secre- tary, was presented by the junior Shorthand Class under the direction of Miss Morrison. The parts were well chosen and well taken. DECEMBER 2 - Mr. Trousdale of Bethlehem, formerly a teach- er and football coach at Lisbon High School, spoke to us on individuality. His talk was made very interesting by his comparison of the civili- zation of bees with the civilization of man. DECEMBER 15 - The last assembly before Christmas vacation was given under the direction of Miss Carr. Members of the junior English Classes drama- tized that immortal Christmas story, The Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens.

Agnes Tilc gave a demonstration of the derivation of English words from Latin. j.-XNUARY 28 - On this certain Friday everybody crowdid around the skating rink, opposite the school- house, while Miss Pickwick gave an exhibition of fancy skating. Sherman Foster also gave fl demonstration of fancy skating, and Elwood La- Brecque and Rolland Stevens gave a hne exhi- bition of speed skating. We all enjoyed this unusual assembly and hope we may have more. FEBRUARY 4 - Mr. Cascadden's varsity debating teams de- bated the question, Resolved: That the States Should Enact Legislation Providing for Com- pulsory Unemployment Insurance. FEBRUARY 11 H This assembly was devoted to Senior Speeches. Everybody had been looking forward to this assembly and was not disappointed when he lis- tened to such fine speeches. FEBRUARY 12 - This assembly, held to commemorate the birth of Abraham Lincoln, proved to be pleasantly different. We all gathered around Mr. Perham while he read us a story about our honest Abe.'l FEBRUARY 19 - Mr. Foster sketched for us the life of t'The Father of Our Countryfl He gave each of us a clearer idea of the human side of this great man who did so much for his country. MARCH 25 - Bernard Chapman, an alumnus of Groveton High School and of the University of New Hamp- shire, entertained us with a chalk talk. It is very gratifying to have our alumni return to our school. APRIL 8 - With the help of Miss Hardy, some girls from the Eighth Grade showed us the costumes of girls from other lands. Appropriate musical selections accompanied each scene. Page Thirty-Two
