Private and Public I Mr. Ned Davis, Coach of Marion High School in 1928-1929, spoke to the student body at Homecoming. To further the endeavors of the guidance department, a system of assemblies has been established at MSHS. Consisting of programs that blend instruction with en¬ tertainment, these programs present a truer picture of life not only to the student body, but to the community as a whole. Each class has its own assembly presenta¬ tion, as well as special group presentation. Sing-Out, Kingsport, an enthusiastic group of teens illustrating in song the “Up With People!” theory, presented an in¬ formative as well as up-lifting program. On a religious note, the “Instrument of Faith,” a folk singing group of MSHS students, showed our school what part God has in their lives. All classes had representatives in our own Klassroom Kwiz. Assembly programs cover a wide variety of interests, including this paid wrestling assembly. The Instrument of Faith provided an inspiring program to the student body. Page 13
