1 1 L, Lf .Ei B 'll' ll ll THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE This year. as in previous years, an Assembly Committee was organized. It con- ll sisted of twenty-two members, who have been working hard with Miss Kroha and Mr. Lupi to present a good program every Thursday. I The Committee is proud to say that it has presented an assembly program prac- tically every week. We have had many different programs which we think have satisfied the varied interests of the student body four audiencej. The Assembly Committee this year' hopes that their work will be remembered and continued by another group of industrious and willing students next year.

At present we are preparing what we think will be a delightful program for graduation. FAITH STEINDLER, President , n., IU

Minus many fine players of last year's squad, but with new and capable material ready and eager for actionfa new season was begun. The team, slow getting started, and lacking the teamwork and extra spark that it needed to win, lost many hard fought games. Despite these defeats, however, the team, undaunted, was always willing to try again and although the win column was not overllowing for us, there were many instances where Newtown looked like a winning combination. Much enjoyment and fun as well as experience was gained by the players in our bid for victory. We, who are graduating this year give our sincere thanks to Mr. Gibbs, our coach, and wish the present and future players the greatest success for the coming season. -HAROLD BICRGLUNIJ llll ll' llll tl! l GIRLS' BASKETBALL 'l'hree cheers for a hard working and co-operative team. Certainly they de- serve this much credit in spite of all their misfortunes. Not every team can be vic- torious all the time and this year we fell in that category. In spite of all that, the guards Haefle, Quinn, Morgan and Han- lon worked hard to see that the ball did not find the basket on their side of the court: and to be sure, the forwards Ras- mussen, Hill, Hill, and Hill tried their best to tind the rim. Without the patient and persistent coaching of Mr. Gibbs certainly the team could not have accomplished as much as it did. Good luck, girls, next year. -MARY HILL

As for the club, there has been great interest and a desire among the members to put on some-- thing worthwhile. Thus one play was presented which had been written by one of our students, Eugene Woodin. This went over with a bang, and such talent is hoped for in the future. Of course we can not forget the able director and coach of these plays, Mr. Reed. He is greatly responsible for the gathering momentum of interest in the club.

Many interesting talks on How To Take Better Pictures, were given by members of the Club. The Club went on one trip which turned out to be very successful for many inter- esting pictures were taken by everyone. During the year two contests were held, resulting in some excellent entries.
