This clever, versatile committee raised their own money for assem- blies by producing a two-hour vaudeville entitled Hilhi Varieties of 1937. It was largely through their efforts that We were able to have the curtains for the Auditorium. Almost Without exception they had a program for every assembly, with sometimes two assemblies a Week. Members of the committee are: David Wiley, Felicia Crittenden, Mary Ann Garthofner, Betty Birch, Dorothy Challacombe, Robert Allison, Richard Hattrick, Ethyl Hendren, President, and Miss Ina Pearl Allen, faculty advisor. - J
