There is a general hum of conversa tion until the pianist strikes a chord immediately all is quiet. Miss Ahrens leads in a hymn Mr. Holt man reads a passage from the Bible and the whole school rexerently repeats the prayer. A flag salute led by Mr. Yeich follows. Members of the Social Science class present two short talks their remarks prefaced by a brief explanation from Mr. Brown. The school sings America the Page 36 Beautiful Some of the teachers make announce ments concerning the work of the day the rising ehord sounds and we all swing into a spirited march each boy marching out with a girl the lines separating again at the stairwavs THLRSDAY Moaxixes And now let me show you one of our regular Thursday morning assemblies inaugurated after the Orchestra had had a few months of practice There is always an air of festivlty on those morn ings for as we come down the big group of musicians on the platform are playing a lixely piece that puts a great deal of brightness into the day As soon as all are gathered we haue the deXOt1OIlal exercises Then if it is in the spring when We are preparing foi Field Day Frances Rit will play The Swan Frances Rahn may sing Slumber Boat and perhaps there will be a duet like Schubert s March Militaire After that the Orchestra tunes up again with a walt number and as a treat we hate a drum solo by our xery professional head drummer. If the fifth 'and sixth grades are in the room 'as they often 'are on 'a Thursday e'an Levengood may fax or us with one of her exceptionally well rendered piano solos or Kenneth Reber with his loxely boy soprano may sing us a song. This time the retiring march is played by the Orchestra. A A ML'SlC.iL YEAR Variety marks all of our assembly programs.
