ASSEMBLY PROGRAM
A preview of the operetta H. M.
s. Pinafore" was given for the stu
dents of the Jr. and Sr. high on
Wednesday morning. Sir Joseph,
Josephine and Captain Corcoran

After the operetta preview was
q movie on the beverage industry.
Then a bottle of coke, ruler and
a pencil were given to each stu
dent.
Last Friday afternoon a trio
known as the Parkinson Ensemble
gave us an interesting lyceum on
music. They demonstrated the
brass instruments. While the three
girls demonstrated the instruments
their manager gave us an explana-
ton Of each. In olden times they
used horns from different animals
to make music. The cave man u.s.
ed a drinking cup; he found that
it made a noise by blowing into
it, so he began using it as a mus
ical instrument. Some people used
sea shells. After demonstrating on
these old instruments they played
solos and duets on the cornet and
trumpet. They ended their lyceum
by initiating a circus band. Mr..
Parkinson puts on Ensembles like
this all over the country. He gets
his cast from musical contests and
amateur hours. Each year he puts
on a different Ensemble.
