ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE This year the Assembly Committee, that incubator of future stage directors, was led by Charles Trojahn. Norman Klein was vice-president during the first term. In February, Edmund Trost, who had been stage manager, succeeded him. William Totten took over the stage man- ager's job for the remainder of the year. Many of the assembly programs were devoted to the semi-finals and the finals of the Academic Contests. In addition to these, the committee arranged for the rallies introducing the various drives and for the presentation of numerous educa- tional films. The committee also took care of the scene shifting on the nights of the dramatic club productions, ar- ranged the Little Theatre for the school dances, and managed the staging effects which made Parents-Alumni Night such a signal success. One of the most important functions of the committee was the use and care of the Recordio. With the cooperation of the committee, Mr. Chamberlin and Mr. Liggett had discs made by each boy in their English classes. These discs, given to the students, had much to do with the improved oratory in the school. In addition to the oflicers, William Meeks and William Gatehouse, and the projection crew of Randolph Tyndall, Donald Wittenberg, and Neal Riesner, were very active. Y. M. C. A. FINANCIAL DRIVE Last year McBurney again went over the top in the annual financial drive in support of the New York Y. M. C. A. program. In Ianuary the student commit- tee-Iames Hooper chairman, Iames Lange, and Stewart O'Neil-met with Mr. Chamberlin and arranged the details of the drive. Quotas were assigned to each section, and the race was on. The race was not particularly interest- ing, the Sophomores went ahead in the first days of the campaign and drew fur- ther and further ahead as the days passed. They finally won the drive with 25327 of their quota, the best record in many years. The Lower School took sec- ond place with 14076 of their quota. The winning Sophomore section were taken to a Chicago-Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Gardens as the reward for its line showing in the drive. In all the school collected S2810.00, well over the S1750 quota which was as- signed to it. PARENTS-ALUMNI NIGHT On February zo, the worst snowstorm in five years blew into New York. By the time the snow had stopped falling, three foot drifts blocked the streets. Despite the inclemency of the weather, however, six hundred parents and alumni attended the annual exhibition. The visitors were amply rewarded for their efforts. Mr. Deme staged a diversi- fied show in the North Gym, including wrestling, fencing, boxing, basketball, calisthenics, gymnastics, and tumbling. The highlight of the show was the drill, performed in the dark with only the dumbells, painted in phosphorescent colors, showing. Both the Lower and Up- per Schools demonstrated swimming and diving techniques in the Pompeian Pool. Each classroom contained an exhibit of the students' work. As usual the crowd Hocked to the laboratories ,where a physics-chemistry demonstration was put on by Edward McCluskey, Giulius Ghiron, Robert Hawkinson, Robert Kunkel, Iohn Evanthes, Leon Spoliansky, Guy Strauss, Robert Rundle, William Ruckstuhl, Alan Hays, and Sanford Ho- hauser. Mr. Ingoldsby transferred his reading clinic to the Little Theatre where he showed all of the school's mechanical equipment. The evening ended with dancing in the North Gym. The committee in charge of arrange- ments consisted of Iames Hooper, chair- man, Iames Scott, Edward McCluskey, VVilliam Mitchell, Stanley Erichsen, and William Prager. Charles Trojahn did an efficient piece of work in painting the dumbells, setting up the public address system, and preparing the rooms for the exhibits.
