Assembly Committee This year the Assembly Committee, under the direction of Miss Walton, has been greatly enlarged to encourage more student participation. It is di¬ vided into three groups, each working to provide more variety and enjoyment for the whole student body. Ample evidence of the success of the com¬ mittee’s efforts to bring fine entertainment before the school is found in assemblies featuring a Charm Quartet, a talent show, community singing, and Dick Linden’s band. Complementing these were several fine educational assemblies, notably, the assembly dedicated to Good Government, a lively, illustrative talk on the use of good English, and the program during American Education Week. Devotional Committee The purpose of the Morning Devotionals was to provide a time for an important aspect of our education—spiritual guidance. The program, under the direction of Mr. Crockett, included music and secular readings followed by correlative Bible pas¬ sages. Students were encouraged to plan their own programs. The programs provided either non-sec¬ tarian or comparative selections from definite reli¬ gions. There was no attempt by the committee to teach religion; only individual inspiration was de¬ sired. The success of any program depends upon the response. The response to the Morning Devo¬ tionals was more than gratifying.

Girls’ Choir Boys’ Choir The Boys’ Choir began a most successful year with an outstanding performance at the Christ¬ mas Festival. They rendered musical aid to the morning devotionals, gave a superior performance at the Christmas assembly, and provided music for the Memorial and Armistice Day programs. In addition, they gave an amazing showing of The Mikado , this year’s choirs’ presentation of the biennial operetta. The climax of the year came with Commencement and its music. The seniors certainly won’t forget. Remember the talent assembly? Of course you do! And you also remember the scintillat¬ ing, coruscating, captivating, ’Tll-flourish-in-green” chorus. Who could possibly have done better than a group from the Girls’ Choir? They’ve won high praise from the townspeople, too, for their perform¬ ance at the Christmas Festival and other programs. And back at school, remember how hard everyone was studying her part the last few days before the Christmas Assembly? And the operetta! Whoever could possibly forget that? Why, simply everyone went, and a few more, besides. And then it was time to get ready for commencement, and then. . . . Third Row: Donald Russell, Dick ( ' anipana.
