19 3 4 T II E P E A N U T ASSEMBLIES On Wednesdays and Fridays, the senior and junior high schools assemble in the auditorium where, for forty minutes, programs of various kinds are presented. The gatherings are ably planned by a committee whose chairman. Elsie Warrington, is assisted by Mary Cross Jordan with Mrs. Seward as faculty sponsor. It is the purpose of this group to discover talent and develop latent ability in the student Ixxly by placing upon it the responsibility for plan¬ ning and carrying out programs which are entertaining as well as educational. In addition, these meetings afford an opportunity for discussing student problems and for plan¬ ning the administration of extra-curricular activities. L’i)on these occasions, senate and honor awards are made and letters for signal achievement in athletics are presented. Speaking roughly, the programs are of three types. First of all. there is the popular “variety” entertainment which employs all the vocal, instrumental and dance talent in school. It is very gratifying to see how many of us willingly and graciously take part. This year, great originality and ingenuity has l een evidenced in such productions as “ I he Hill-Billies,” the Democratic Convention, “The Lamp Went Out,” “The Old School and New” and “Hot-Dogs.” New thoughts and ideas are brought to us by occasional visits from out¬ side talent. Many of the local pastors have attended our chai el exercises, as have a number of the leading business men of the city. We always enjoy having alumni on our platform. Infrequent moving pictures are always a very welcome diversion. Our schedule, of course, includes the celebration of national events such as Armistice and National Education Week. Some of our longest remembered assemblies will l e those held in honor of the birthdays of the country’s great men when our superintendent, Mr. John E. Martin, pays such lovely tribute to their memory. Especial mention should be made of the highly pertinent talk made by Mr. F. S. Chase on the subject of the NRA. The entire school is grateful to Mrs. Seward and her committee for the untold amount of work undertaken by them in an effort to make our life together more enjoyable and worthwhile. 26
