At last, fat and sleek, the dogies come in for the Spring Round-Up, at the trail's end. Many are the tasks and chores through Winter frost and chill, before the labor is coni- plete. Now comes the reward in knowledge of a job well done and in the festivities of the years end. Through the year students, too, had work to do. They attended classes daily, wrote reference work, made oral reports, participated in panel discussions, heard lectures by prominent speakers, and took examinations. Assemblies presented by various school and civic organizations, proved enjoyable. The American Legion presented the Armistice day assembly. One of the most striking assemblies was the one in which the student body heard the President of the United States ask Congress to declare war on the Axis pow- ers. The four speakers, brought here by the Rotary Club, presented brief inspira- tional talks on World events. ,fr l., 1 I g . 1 K ff-A A ff F it T553 C to . ., .,. A l - ,Jeff 16
