Y' i There vvasn't much money to sprinlde around this year, therefore, we couldn't hire outside entertainmentlor assemblies. Did that stop us? N0l Pat Gaynor and Don Nilio were quick on the draw and Leonard Fay joined in-so did Vivien Bell and Edna Vaculilc Our as- semblies were full of music and laughs. That's what we wanted-thats what we got. SPECIAL EVENTS Qctober brought the annual Mother-Daughter banquet with its main attraction, namely food, in the student cafeteria, and entertainment later in the Little Theatre. One of the highlights of the evening was the serenade by the men who so graciously consented to serve as Waiters. Everyone was very much surprised to Find out that some ol them can really sing too. Turn about is usually fair play, and the women would have gladly served at the Father-Son banquet if there had been one. l lovvever, since many of the men are now in service and I many fathers of the remaining men vvorlc nights, it was impossible in that respect to hold a banquet with so Few men.
