And with a rush of feet, and a babble of many voices, there is a general dash toward the gym to see what is in store! Many were the reasons behind the assembly meetings called this past year. Every game-day, Friday, there was pep rally and varied indeed were the types of pro- grams presented, with each version of the forth-coming game an altogether different one. Who ever heard of a pep meeting where no one yells? There must be something wrong! There wasn't exactly anything wrong. lt was iust a pantomime pep program! Strange goings- on here in Valley High! The whole assembly was carried out in pantomime speeches, yells, pre- sentations and all, and not a sound was heard. By way of contrast, the next committee planned a swing meeting. On the theme of Oh, Johnny a girls' swing quartet changed the words to describe each member of the basketball team. Another group serenaded the students with instrumental swing numbers, much to the delight of the iitterbugs . But pep meetings did not provide the only entertainment for the students. There were booster assemblies, a Christmas program, Constitution day speeches, and scheduled Northwest Assemblies. Often talented students in the school displayed their special ability to the delight of the rapt audience.

There are short stories, long stories, novels, novelettes, plays, playlets, reference books, biographies, and even a waste basket on the floor Tor gum deposits. In the first floor hall ot our alnta mater stands our friend Abe Lincoln. OT course he's only ci statue but there is not rnuch ot student lite that es- capes hirn. Abe sees all those fond lovers who bill and coo and whisper sweet nothings. He also sees those last-minute students who hurriedly dash oft their as- signments at 8142 in the morning and then scamper madly to their classes, So this space in our annual is given To Abe, honest Abe, who has probably seen more Valley City High School life than any other tixture ot the builci- ing,

There is a saying that the best army is The best ted army, Working on this principle, Robert Ployhar, representing Home Room 3lO in a pep program, passed out miniature packages of pep breakfast food to the team with the warning to eat and be strong. Pictured on the receiving end are Sam Zimmerman, Ralph Willey, iuniors, Arleigh Abrahamson and Robert Neil, seniors. A school paper must be financed that is certain. These domestic looking girls, Lois Risa, senior, Marlys Murdoch and Alice Eggert, juniors, who are part of the Hi-Liners hnance committee, are busy preparing ham sandwiches to be sold in the iournalism room. The money realized from the sale took the Hi-Liners out of the red l-leave-ho! Dale Bergan, Alvin Lieberman, and James Persons, iuniors, display their manly strength by lugging the benches back from the court house after the home room pictures had been taken on the terrace. This proves they are just Boy Scouts at heart. A Christmas Star for Olga was the Christmas play given in the high school assembly, in which members at the dramatic club displayed their acting ability, Beatrice Grotte, sophomore, directed the play. The cast ot characters include ed three slightly uppish society matrons, Elsie Fritch, Mary Margaret Sanger, and Jean Bierke, a good spirit, Marieanne Sunde, a bad spirit, Jan- et Simon, and a Norwegian maid, Joyce Potter.
