'W -112- The master of ceremonies announces that special attention has been given to produce finer assemblies for the student body's enjoy- ment. lt gives many students the chance tor recog- nition ot their talents and at the same time pro- vides leisure moments for the pupils. The reason in giving assemblies is to edu- cate and enlighten the student body. ln a passing review ot the numerous assem- blies sponsored at Ottawa this year we chose the following as the most popular: the Christ- mas Assembly, the one observing Pan-Ameri- can Day, the Michigan State Police Demonstra- tion, and the one commemorating Lincoln's Birthday. In the presentation ol every assembly it has brought together a closer understanding be- tween the students and faculty. Responsibility and the willingness to work falls on the shoul- ders ot all who take part in their production.

Our publication department at Cttawa is made up of the Spectator and Legend staff, and the Printing classes. All the necessary ad- vertising for Mimes, The Senior Play, and other school activities is handled by this department. There are- many advantages in taking jour- nalism, Spectator, or Legend Work, Such a course teaches diplomacy, accuracy, initiative, and leadership. lt promotes the use of their creative mind in expressing school spirit and school life. Later in life some staff members find opportunities for securing jobs as report- ers or journalists. Any person who desires to take publications must file application with the advisor. fn the first semester one usually starts out in a minor staff position and learns the fundamental prin- ciples of journalism. By the second semester advanced work in journalism and a major position on the staff is offered. The annual Legend, another part of publication, is pro- duced by the seniors. It is a one-semester sub- ject requiring experienced staff members. lf you feel you have something to offer, if you like to Write, and spend long hours making required projects exact in measurement, and repeating all work that is incorrect, the Legend Staff seeks you as a future member.
