TIME OUT FOR LEISURE Always arousing the students interest during the year are the assemblies which the administration provides. Five Assem- blies were presented this year to add to the educational op- portunity of each student. On October 11, Mr. Charles Ramsden demonstrated some of his unique musical inventions. With the aid of Mary Helen Bremer, he showed how a simple rubber band, exposed to ur- anium, could be transformed into a lively musical instru- ment. Mr. Ramsden has also invented a steel guitar that pro- duces atomic music. This type of music closely resembles the psychedelic music of today. Also in October, Mr. joe Kilgore entertained the students and faculty with a talk about his experiences in the Vietnam war. He showed slides from the Delta region around the Sai- gon River where he was stationed. Hand-carved marioncttes, in a realistic presentation of The Story of Christopher Columbus was provided for the students by Mr. john Conrad on November 2. With only a few assis- tants to help with the mechanical part of the show, he cap- tivated the audience with his excellent vocal capacities. Micki the almost human chimp came to our school on March 27. His trainer, Merle Snyder, presented him in a clever, entertaining, and educational program. Mr. Snyder dressed Micki in chi1dren's clothes, had him eat his break- fast and do amazing acrobatic feats. On April 24, Mr. Eddie Cole presented a fascinating tram- poline and physical fitness program. Several students parti- cipated in the programg they played Spaceball and helped add to the enjoyment of the program.
