Assemblies were rather few and far between this year because of the increase in the number of stu- dents. Most of our assemblies are sponsored by different organiza- tions in the school. The students donate money to the Student Coun- cil, which selects and obtains professional talent, such as a liquid air demonstrator and a pianist and song writer. At one of the student council assemblies was Alan Abel and his drums. Troy Lovett, Dwight Wilgus, Judy Brown, and Carol Knascl are proving his point that anyone can play the samba. 12 Our library has proved to be of great importance to the students of Sidney High. Here they may acquire books to read for book reports or solely for pleasure. Lucky people who have term papers or note- books assigned to them can do their reference work in the school library.
