VARIED ACTIVITIES We have been fortunate this year in having such exceptionally fine assemblies. They have been interesting and varied from the backwards program to the musical program bythe Moberly junior College'Band. Much credit is, in- deed, due to the assembly commit- tee composed of Miss Baker, Mr. I-lill, Mr. I-Iankins, and Miss Bartle, faculty membersg Stanley Isle, Ann listill, Catherine Neal and Celestine Lloyd of the student body. Among the outstanding pro- grams this year were: a group trom the Music Club entertaining with light operas, a talk by repre- sentative Robinson of the State Patrol, on conserving tires, and songs and readings by Mrs. joseph l'ettie Grant. The Christmas pro- gram was presented by the junior High Glee Club with Miss Shirley Fleming who read some Christmas poems. At the Thanksgiving as- sembly the Junior College Choir sang and Reverend Powell gave the seasonal talk. Later in the year M11 Karl S. llolander entertained the students by telling The Amer- ican Way of Art. Perhaps the most colorful of all assemblies was the Mexican pro- gram on Pan-America presented by Miss Lillian Casebolt and her speech classes. The pictures shown at the side were taken at assemblies, basket- ball games, and at the Christmas lfrolic. 1. High School Glee Club---Miss June - Brockway, Junior College student, guest soloist. 2.

I-IOMECOMING ALBUM C13 Beauty Boosters is right, C25 Juniors foresee the outcome of the game. Q39 The Band marches on. 145 A11 of Moberly joins in the Homecoming parade. VVere we downhearted? No! The band marched out to lend a bit of color, a bit of music, and a bit of spectacular drilling to the occasion. The two pep squads joined them, formed a V for Vic- tory and gave some yells. Even after the yells, plus the pep talk Coach McCormick gave the team during the half, they still couldn't get started. The boys fought like demons, but the final score was still 47-O. Immediately after the game Phi Theta Kappa and Kappa Phi Delta held their annual alumni teas. Oh! you should have seen those dainty little sandwiches, cakes and cup of coffee disappear. As an anticlimax and a grand clos- ing to the activities came the big dance. All the little Janes and Johnnies turned out to dance to the music of Ray Leffman and his or- chestra. At 10:15 the Queen was crowned under a false ceiling rep- resenting a gridiron. The music started again and after an hour or so more of dancing everyone went home, tired but happy, to dream of the best Homecoming on record- the 13th annual Homecoming. . SEVENTY

CHRISTMAS PLAY This year's all-school Christ- mas party was somewhat different from those of previous years in that the main attraction was Xmas in a Madhousef' a two-act play which was produced and directed by Rob- ert Minor and sponsored by the Student Council. It was along the line of Hellzapoppin ' and as the title implies everybody was slight- ly wacky. The highlights of the evening were. a vocal number by the Three Trays, Jim Holman, Les- lie Gowan and Harry Adamson: special entertainments were Boh Weis, Peggy Fuller, Pat Cassidy, the Psychiatrist-Robert Minor, Stanley Isle, Student Body Presi- dent, wxho made a fool of himself, but nevertheless was very useful, and the Girl's Chorus composed of lrene Arthur, Betty Tulley, Betty Begole, Helen Jane Boon, Dottie Wilsoii, Jeanette Barclay, Patsy Merck and jean Statenbocker. The audience participated not only in the dance that followed, but also in the production itselfg par- ticularly those bombarded by a de- luge of feathers and attacked by paratroopers which turned out to be a pair of crossed chicken legs that fell from the ceiling. The entire production was strictly an all-school affair and was a success financially as well as theatrically. The profits of the pro- duction were used for the benefit of all students. Everyone is look- ing forward to another all-school get-together next year and it is hoped that it will become an annual tradition at M. C. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, the music for which was furnished by the Swing- land Serenaders. T FUN FEST No one would ever have rec- ognized old M. I. C. on the night of April 17, 1942. Concession booths filled the halls-all of the class rooms had been converted into crazy museums, bingo stands. fish ponds, or displays of some kind. There were even more interest- ing things going on in the auditor- ium. Mr. Hankins directed the M. I. C. Band in a half hour concert which was immediately followed by the combined Co-Ann-Red Hot show, They took us on a trip to Song Heaven, the place where all good songs go. And did they sing those old favorites beautifully. Then the M club took over and presented their mass of mascu- line models in the most spectacular chorus line ever to be presented on the C. stage. But was that all? Uh no-not near. The main show of the even- ing took us to an army camp where some of the bo-ys were dreaming of where their unknown destination would be. With them we saw beautiful Hawaiian girls, a harem from the near east, and even Angels of Mercy CRed Cross Nurses to youj, spiced here and there with Mr. Hill's traditional wit. Even now the fun wasn't over. You know how we are-when we do something we do it right. Well -after all this there still was a big dance. After a night like this ev- eryone was willing to confess they had fun at the Fun Fest. SEVENTY-TWO
