THANKSGIVING PROGRAM On the afternoon of November the twentieth, the Senior Class gave a program in keeping with the season. Raymond Laflin acted as spokesman by announcing each number on the program. Talks concerning Thanksgiving, its keeping, origination, and reasons for being thankful were given by Ray Laflin, Pearl Personette, Sam Smyser and Mrs. Haworth, whose talk concluded the program. Mr. Sayre gave a reading, the public speaking class gave some choral readings, two humorous readings were given by Mrs. Dunbar and Esther Osborne gave two short musical readings. A brass quartet composed of Mr. Sower, Emanuel Rubins, Eugene Judd and Charles Kerrick played some selections. The Senior girls' sextet sang two numbers accompanied by Renabel Graham, and Leonard Price sang Beautiful Dreamer with Bertha Jean Harvey at the piano. School was dismissed for the Thanksgiving vacation, and we all went home with thankful hearts and thoughts of a turkey feast and all the trimmings on the next day. 1-1 CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The Christmas program this year should long be remembered in our school because it was then that we got our trophy case. Instead of buying some foolish present to ex- change, everyone put their money in the old trophy case to help buy a new one. Then everyone enjoyed a beautiful and quiet program with music by Glee Clubs and String Ensemble and a talk by the Reverend Schmidt. 33-1 ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY PROGRAMS Two units representing the National Society of Zoology presented two programs on March 14 and 21. The first of these had to do with a demonstration of different species of bird life and the possibilities in training birds. The second program dealt with an exhibi- tion of various forms of reptile life. After the second program the Biology students were allowed to ask questions of the person in charge of the program. i-I NATIONAL ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS MISSISSIPPI JUBILEE SINGERS The Mississippi Jubilee Singers from Piney Woods, Mississippi, entertained a large crowd with Negro spirituals and readings in Negro dialect, at Parma High School September 27, 1940. MURIEL GOODSPEED Muriel Goodspeed, who was at one time America's most talented girl, was introduced to the students and faculty of Parma High School on October 15, 1940. She had won sixty-five different National contests in the field of art, music, dancing, dramatics, beauty, and several others. We were entertained by her telling the story of her life, her singing, playing and a reading. CHEMURGY Frank Preston Johnson, a newspaperman, lecturer, and scientist, presented a very interesting program November 15, 1940. He explained some of the ways in which new products are being made from formerly waste products, such as artifical rubber, fabrics made of glass fiber made from skimmed milk, and many other types of useful products including several types of plastics. The program was very educational, especialy to those planning to enter the field of science. LIQUID AIR The Wonders of Liquid Air presented to us on January 14, 1941, consisted of a demonstration on the properties and uses of air when it is changed to the 'liquid form. It was one of the most iinteresting scientific programs ever given in this school. THE BOWER VARIETY PROGRAM The Bower Variety Program entertained the students, factulty and visitors the eve- ning of March 18, 1941, at the Parma High School. Mr. Bower, the ventriloquiest, brought Oscar, the dummy, Susie, the apeg and Mr. McDonald, the vibra-harp artist. The pro- gram proved to be quite novel. HAWAIIAN PROGRAM The Freeland's Royal Hawaiians entertained the students of Parma High, April 9, 1941, by telling stories of life on the picture island of Hawaii, the Aloha Land, and by singing some of the beautiful melodies of the Hawaiians.
