The second assembly of the year
is to be held October 1 at ten
o'clock in the Central Auditorium.
This is to be a talent assembly in
which the members of the ECHO
staff, music, dramatics, and athletics departments are represented.
The band is planning to
contribute its talent, also, under the expert direction of Bob
Ludden. Last year he did an
exceptional job and it looks
even more promising this year.
Mr. Suddendorf will take charge
of the other music. He hasn't announced definitely what it will be
but R. J. C. students are well aware
that he is capable of supplying
good entertainment.
Dramatics will also have its share
in the program. Miss McGhee,
however, is less informative. There
is much mysterious planning going
on. She did give a few clues.
There will be a protean character, a phrenologist and several
other questionable acts. "Two
Tails" will also be there to break
up a crap game, it is rumored.
Miss McGhee did state emphatically, however, that the best way
to find out what these mysterious
rumors are all about is to be present at the assembly on October
1st.
New Courses
Added to
Curriculum
Two new courses are now being
offered at J. C. and Mrs. Bock has
enlarged her homemaking course
into a two-year program,
This year the schedule for the
first semester in homemaking will
include different phases of home
planning, such as budgeting, furniture buying, wise apartment-hunting, proper housecleaning, and
correct laundry procedure. During
the second semester a course on
clothing will be taught. Mrs. Bock
and Mr. Roy will also offer a section on family relations. The second semester classes will be held
at night so that more students will
be able to take the course, and
more articles may be completed
during sewing class.
There are nine girls enrolled
in the three-credit course at the
present time.
The two new terminal courses are
World Affairs and Current Social
Problems. Six students are enrolled in the former, in which current
events and their historical backgrounds will be discussed. Such
topics as the problems of nationalism, religion, and Big-owner politics in Palestine, Russia and Communism, and race problems in India
will be discussed in lecture form for
the first half of the period, followed by group discussion in the latter half. Mr. Bateman is teaching
this course.

a Beard-Growing Contest; a Har-,
vest Dance; the Swim-Gym party;
a Sadie Hawkins dance; and, of
course, the Big Christmas Formal. .
