ASSEMBLIES Gwynns Falls School seems to have been trying to improve the beauty of its girl students this year, for two of its big assemblies were connected with fashion in some way. A Fashion Shaw was given in October under the auspices of Miss Gillespie, rep- resentative of the Baltimore Dairy Council. Another Fashion Show was given by the Home Economics Club under the supervision of Miss Tur- ner from Hutzler Bros. and Company. The Dra- matic Club entertained the audience between the four scenes given. Still another fashion show was given by the Culee Club under the name of the Fashion Revue and staged by Hochschild, 'Kohn and Company. - An assembly was especially called on February 18 to give the girls of the eighth and ninth grades an opportunity to hear an address by Miss Margaret Slattery, noted writer and lecturer. Her subject was moral courage, the power to say yes or no. The girls showed their appreciation of the speaker by hearty applause at the end. THE LATIN CLUB Some of the pupils of 9Al and 9A2 formed a Latin Club. Their aim is to show a better appre- ciation for the subject. The meetings are held once a month. The faculty advisors are Miss K. Ebaugh, Miss Joffe and Mrs. Heffner.
