Again this evening at 8:15 another near sellout audience will
view this dramatized whim of Judson Barry, world traveler. Cor-

put his fifty-dollar bill etchings, long ago made in his spare time, to
good use. In a rash moment of resourcefulness he donates several
hundred thousand counterfeit bills to various community reform

Class Of ’50 Gives
Chimes To School
Chimes for the organ were offi-
cially presented by the Class of
’50, as their class gift, at a special
assembly Monday morning.
Mona Powell, secretary of the
class, gave a brief summary of
how the class earned money for
the gift and why the gift was
chosen. Garnet Reeves, class
presidnet, presented the gift to
Mr. Honey, on behalf of the class
of ’50.
Obtaining a license was a ma-
jor victory for the boys as they
had to pass an examination giv-
en by a member of the Federal
Communication commission bet-
ter known as the F. C. C.
Larry has about thirty . cards
that he had received from differ-
ent countries and is working to-
ward the award given by the F.C.
C. for 100 cards. Ross now has
25 cards. These cards are sent
to prove that radio contact has
been made with foreign coun-
tries.
When asked if he were able to
talk to any country in English,
Ross admitted that radio “hams”
in England were eager to talk

“When I told one person in
England that I was from Texas,
he immediately asked if I were a
cowboy,” laughed Ross.
“The best time to tallk is at
night and early morning, but,
some connections can be made
later in the day,” explained Lar-
ry.
He also revealed that the fall
and summer months are more
suitable for radio communication
because the static is too great
during the winter months.
Some of the countries which
the boys have talked to are Ja-
pan, Spain, Australia, and South
Africa.

er dinner of the Distributive

Paid Assembly Tuesday
Juniors Perform
Mr. Hal Rodman, member of
a theatrical family, will present
the fourth paid assembly of the
year Tuesday morning at 8:45 in
^the Lubbock Senior High school
auditorium. The program, “Por-

hind the scenes secrets in the art
of applying theatrical make-up.

Mr. Rodman will go into more
details Wednesday at 1:15 in the
National Thespian club meeting.
The birth of Mr. Rodman’s in-
terest in make-up began when he
succeeded in perfecting the part
of a grizzled old mountaineer in
a revival of “My Gal Sunday”
while he was a te<m-ager. After
several years of working as assis-
tant director and director, Mr.
-^Rodman moved to the West
coast, where he spent five years
as a free-lance make-up artist.
During this time he acquired new
ideas and perfected some of his
own.
Assembly Receives Praise, Criticism
HAL RODMAN
“What was your impression of
the Junior assembly? Did you
particularly enjoy or dislilke
some part of it?”
In answer to these questions
many varied replies were heard
over Lubbock Senior High school
after the annual Junior assembly
March 8.
Many commented that they
thought it was very good, but
more definite and constructive
replies were also given.
George Guy, sophomore, said
that it was an excellent assembly
“even if the juniors did present
it.”
Mary Jane Smith, junior,
answered, “I thought the assem-
bly was enjoyable and the theme
stressed world unity which is
such a necessity now.”
The stage lighting was the
thing most enjoyed by Margie
Howard, sophomore, while Aud-
rey Light, senior, and Edie Burns,
junior, both commented on the
fact that a lot of juniors have
talent.
The assembly which was both
educational and entertianing, was
one of the best of the year, ac-
cording to Sandy Moore, junior.
When asked his opinion on the
assembly, Mr. D. M. Howell,
speech teacher, replied, “It was a
nice program, well planned and
well presented, but the narrator
was hard to understand. Many
people did not get the United Na-
tions idea because of this. It was
entertaining and informative
even to “Othello”.
“I particularly enjoyed “Othel-
lo”, which was really clever and I
think it was one of the best
Junior assemblies ever presented
in L.H.S.,” declared Miss Glenys
Honey, senior English teacher. “I
always enjoy talent assemblies,”
she continued, “and I think we
should have more of them if they
are well planned. This one gave
people with a variety of talents
a chance to perform, from voice
solos to acting.”
Mr. A. D. McClintock, commer-
cial teacher, and Gerre Hancock,
senior, agreed that it was a good
performance and was well re-
ceived, but Gerre added that he
though it lacked unity of thought.
“I thought it was good, but I
am ‘kinda’ jealous because the
seniors will have to work so hard
to top it,” explained Joyce Smith,
senior.
