THE GOLDEN-ROD 25 School New? ASSEMBLIES On the first day of the new semester, the entire school went to the hall. Mr. Collins spoke mainly about the marks. The honor roll was also read, which was not as large as usual. Mr. Collins urged everyone to try to increase the honor roll during this semester. On Friday, February 6, the various classes gathered in the Assembly hall in order to hear the second of the Sym- phony Concerts. Mr. Paul Shirley, who was introduced to the school at a previ- ous concert, explained the different in- struments used by the players. The concert was enjoyed by all. One of the most pleasing of all the as- semblies took place on Friday, February 20, Thalia Club Day. Through the courtesy of the Thalia Club, Prof. Andre Maurize of Harvard University was pro- cured. The speaker, introduced by Agnes Fornell, proved to be humorous as well as instructive. His quaint accent and easy manner of speaking won the ap- proval of all. Prof. Maurize’s subject was Paris—a Living Personality.” He illustrated the lecture with stereopticon pictures which added greatly to the effect. March 4, Inauguration Day, the mem- bers of the school had the pleasure of hearing the Inaugural Exercises broad- cast from Washington, D. C. Because of the length of the preliminary program, only a short portion of President Cool- idge’s speech was heard. The exercises, however, were very impressive, especially the oath of office, administered by Will- iam Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The last and the finest of the Sym- phony Concerts was held on Friday, March 6. The musicians, assisted by Mr. Shirley, rendered a charming pro- gram. The school has certainly enjoyed these concerts and desires to thank Miss Howes and Mr. Collins, through whom the artists were procured.
