SENIOR ASSEMBLY

The Seniors brought back, for a brief while, the night club scene of the Roaring Twenties in their assembly on November 19. It was New Year's Eve and the Hotsy Totsy Club was really lively, with the Dixieland band and the Charleston dancer adding to the frenzy. Just as the owner, Chinchilla Chandler, was about to serve some illegal beverages during this time of Prohibition, Federal agents raided the club, hauling the owner off to jail. Bringing things up to present, the night club reopened 35 years later as the "Club 20". After a few numbers from the Seventh Avenue Seven, a regular patron of the club, Crazy, came in to talk to Joe the Bartender. During the Fan Dance, which was a parade around an electric one, the club was again raided, but this time it was by the real thin - RAID insecticide.

JUNIOR ASSEMBLY

The Junior assembly, presented on January 25, took the audience on a review of Hollywood's movies. The well-known slapstick comedy plot of the masher in the park came to view when Charlie returned to find an eager tennis player making passes at his wife. In true Hollywood tradition the masher received his just reward. The following day the unwary Charles encountered a body-building, boxing dummy that his wife had purchased to improve his physical adroitness. Between reels and old-time barbershop quartet sang "While Strolling Through The Park". Finally, "Angels All", a short talky similar in plot to some of the Hollywood comedies of the early Forties, was presented. The crush of a high school girl on her chemistry teacher led to an invitation to dinner. However, the girl's older sister came home the same day, and the teacher consequently became interested in the older sister. Having lost her love, the young girl resigned herself to a life of solitude, studying art in Paris.

SOPHOMORE ASSEMBLY

With the District Music Festival near and the timely date - April 1 - of their assembly, the Sophomores presented a combination of music and April Fool's Day nonsense. Brendy Dudley skillfully payed a piano solo, "Maple Leaf Rag," which she took to the festival. A Sophomore clarinet choir played, and Beverly Judd sang her festival piece, "With a Song in My Heart". In keeping with the day, two April Fool's Day skits were presented. A singing Sophomore choir closed the assembly with "April Love," "April Showers," and "When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along."

FRESHMAN ASSEMBLY

On March 15 a Freshman Review in the old Vaudeville style was presented. After a welcome by Evelyn Barnett, the show began with "Five Foot Two" and "My Blue Heaven" sung by Tom Snyder. Diana Vincent gave a reading of "What Is a Beatnik." Next in the program was hillbilly skit concerning the encounter of two feuding clans. Ronnie Hohenstein then generated enthusiasm in the audience with his piano rendition of "Doggone Boogie," and Linda Cornelius sustained the mood with her Spanish tap dance. This was followed by two pantomimes, which were separated by Irish singer Jimmy Howard's song. The first pantomime featured some "femmes fatales" organized into a basketball squad; the second, a visual interpretation of the theme projected by the "Monster Mash" record, ended the assembly.
