During the year the student body is en- tertained at many assembly programs. Some of these programs are put on by the stu- dents, and others are presented by profes- sional entertainers and speakers who make a practice of giving such programs. Since the assembly budget is limited, We can have only a certain number of assem- blies presented by professional entertainers. The paid auditoriums range from speakers ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Bill Farrare and Jim Armstrong Wowed the students as Martin and Lewis in the annual Student Talent Show and pianists to dancers, sports exhibitions, and singing groups. Such programs are ar- ranged for through a school assembly service. Some of the most enjoyed auditorium programs of the year are those which are put on by students. A few of the clubs pre- sent short plays or skits, which are usually student written and directed. Also there are sports-award programs, scholarship recog- nition programs, and an annual Student Talent Show. Lowell Beck, a sophomore at Bradley University, Peoria, was guest speaker for the Senior Recognition Assembly WAY' . Lw 13 F141

A critical moment during the Homecoming' game On Friday afternoon school was dismissed early and a parade was held. Twenty differ- ent clubs displayed floats, and individual students entered decorated cars, all of which carried out a theme of Welcome Alums or Beat St. Bedef' the latter being our oppon- ent for the Homecoming game that evening. Despite the fact that the Bulldogs lost this game 24-14, a fine turnout appeared at the annual Homecoming dance, which was held on Saturday night in the Armory. Danc- ing from 9:00 till 12:00 to the music of Jimmy Featherstone and his orchestra was enjoyed by a crowd of approximately four hundred. Highlights of the Homecoming were the crowning of Mary Jane Crone as Homecom- ing Queeng the selection of the Junior Class fioat, with the theme Fruits of Victory- Ashes of Defeat, as the winner of the class divisiong and the choice of the Latin Club float as winner of the prize for the best club float, with the theme of Diana Killing the Bruins carried out. lflll One of the many-the D.

SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS The cast of the all-school play, t'Headin' for the Hills School presentations are an important part of the life of S. H. S. students. Each year the speech department sponsors one all- school play. There is no tradition as to what type of play this should be, and as a result we have witnessed comedies, melodramas, and hill-billy plays in the past few years. At the present time efforts are being made to build up the speech department presenta- tions. Other groups which provide activities for many throughout the year are the Glee Clubs. These groups present the annual Christmas assembly program. In the spring of the year the more experienced singers pre- sent an operetta. These activities are the result of much hard work on the part of the students, but the pleasure and satisfaction received are re- warding. 4 1 Scene from the Q Christmas program presented by the Girls' Chorus
