Assemblies Our assemblies this year have presented a varied list of talented people as well as trained dogs, mon- keys, doves, and a baboon. The first assembly was sponsored by the Girls' League. New girls were welcomed to Wyandotte and introduced to the clubs and activities offered here. A musical program by the White Hussars, under the direction of Herbert Petrie, featured the music of trumpets, trombones, piano and vocal numbers. An- other musical assembly featured Henry Williams playing selections on his harp. Student talent was found in abundance in the an- nual Hi-Y Talent Show. Presented in the show were an accordion number, readings, piano solos, a piano duet, vocal singing, and a dance. Nancy Davidson won first place with a reading, and Jim Davidson, with his reading, won second. Third place went to Mary Ann Hodges for her singing, and fourth to Mary Lou Crayne for her piano number. Art students had the opportunity to hear Karl Bolander's lecture, How to Win-W ith Art, while Anna Bird Steward, writer, gave advice on writing to English students. Lawrence Baldwin and Bob Chaffin took the honors in the radio program, It Pays to be Smartf' The sound of voodoo drums was heard as David Starry, noted author and lecturer on the West Indies, presented a program of voodoo and witchcraft. Page Thirty by MARIE MAZE Wyandotte's eighty-four piece symphony orchestra gave the annual concert in February. The drama and music departments worked together in present- ing the traditional Christmas assembly. It was re- ligious in character and very beautiful. ' Atomic Age was the subject of George Stephens, naval reserve officer, in his talk to the students. In the Fred Spooner program, two trained dogs appeared. Along with his talk on trained war dogs, Mr. Spooner demonstrated how to teach a dog to do tricks. Then we all remember the Art Hook assembly in March and the last Girls' League program in April. Football held the spotlight as everyone was given the opportunity to see the films of the Kansas Univer- sity-Georgia Tech. game. Monkey business at its best came to Wyandotte with Harry and Marie Mason. The hilarious antics of a baboon and several monkeys were featured along with the tricks of trained doves. Mr. Mason gave a talk on reptiles as he displayed several live snakes and a horned toad. A Many pep assemblies were held during the year. In one, the identity of Miss Mush, Wyandottels mystery woman, was revealed to be Martha Mackish. Also, the Kay Cees presented their version of the radio program, It Pays to be lgnorantf' This year, as always, assemblies have had a high place in Wyandotte's activities.
