ASSEMBLIES ENRICH SCHCOL LIFE Tom Schopp. Bruce lames and Ianiece Gould heartily laugh at the weird musical tones produced upon picking their banjos. Each year the student body enjoys numerous and varied assemblies presented by the students of Osage and traveling groups from the Uni- versity of Kansas. These assemblies provide ed- ucational enjoyment as well as entertainment and aid in the broadening of the students' cul- tural background. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , por- trayed by the Campbell marionettes, revived many childhood memories--International Lec- tures presented the gripping lecture of Snow Allen , a onetime criminal, who revealed life behind prison walls--an insight of the general functioning of the blood was viewed in an ed- ucational motion picture Hemo, The Magnifi- Iames Beach displays the attire in which he .was clad while working with Lew Hershey during a University of Kansas production, 41 cent --the mystifying feats of Bobo, The Ma- gician , from International Lectures, bewildered students and faculty alike--the sword swallowing crow and whistling parakeet of Bertelle's Indoor Bird Circus fascinated the assemblage--a moment of serious meditation prevailed when the Kansas City Youth for Christ Association visited the School of the Osage--circus clown Lew Hershey provided humorous entertainment with corny jokes and various antics performed by his pro- fession--a trio of versatile artists presented a musical program titled The Americana --Mr. 6 Mrs. Banjo illustrated their versatility on the banjo with selections from popular, dance, classi- cal and folk music.
