One of the most enjoyable was held at Christmas time when a fine program was given. A playlet entitled The Christmas Pic- ture, was presented by girls of the Freshman Class which was greatly appreciated. The re- mainder of the program was as follows: Selection .................................................................... Orchestra Song- Joy to the World ....... .................. A ssembly Song- Silent Night ............. ...................... A ssembly Selection ........................................................ Boys' Quartette Selection ........................................................ Boys' Quartette Song-'fHark the Herald Angels Sing ............ Assembly Song- Winds thru the Olive Trees .............. Assembly Selection from Messiah ............., ......... A ssembly Selection ....................... ......... . ........ O rchestra Selection .................................................................... Orchestra Assembly School Song ................ . ............................................ At an assembly held on Feb. 15, the Senior Class gave a most interesting debate. The ques- tion was Resolved, That the United States should further restrict immigration. Richard Brooks, Philip Bacheldor and Clyde Hulit represented the affirmative, while Alma Manchester, Harriet Lucas and Josiah Pugh sup- ported the negative. Raymond Waite acted as chairman, and Ellis LeBeau as timer. The judges, Miss Whittier, Miss Wheet, and Mr. Philbrook decided in favor of the affirmative. The speakers on both sides gave very interest- ing and convincing speeches which showed the result of much thought and study. It is hoped that other debates will be given soon. Early in the year Alice Girard, Harriet Lucas, and Maurice Goodwin were appointed cheer lead- ers, and on several occasions enthusiastic athletic meetings have been held. ASSEMBLY PLAY The Assembly Play for this year is Polly- annan or The Glad Girl, a comedy in four acts, by Catherine Chisholm Cushing, based on the novel by Eleanor H. Porter.

A Summer afternoon. Act II. John Pendleton's Library. Some weeks later. Act III. The library. An hour later than Act II. Act IV. The library. Five years later than Act III. Through the presentation of Little Womenn and the coming presentation of Pollyanna on April 4, we feel that Westbrook High School stands high in dramatic work and we are proud of this fact. Both of these plays stand for fine achievements in this field, and the results will be clearly noticeable in the better taste of our students. Under the able direction of the coach, Miss Marion Lord, we feel that Pollyanna will be as great a success both financially and profes- sionally as was Little VVomen. The Annual Prize Speaking Contest held at the Warren Church on the evening of March 12, was very much of a success. The speakers showed excellent training under the supervision of their coach, Miss Marion E. Lord. The Stephen Manchester Post, American Legion, offered two prizes, that were presented by Mr. P. A. Bacheldor, to Floyd Burton and Reba Man- chester. We appreciate the interest and friendly
