ALL IN A DAYS WORK
In assembly Wednesday, an un-
sual number of accidents occured
to make laughter.
The first on the program was
two solos by George Stokes. Dur-
ing his first number, a sound kept
coming from the piano which
sounded like a banjo being strum-
med in a distance. It was quite
confusing, but to top it all off the
students began clapping after the
first verse; that also made quite
a commotion. Before George sang
his next song however, he reached
his hand into the piano box and
pulled out a small ping-pong ball,
and rolled it across the floor. It
was just like a trick that one of
these so-called magicians would
pull, but never-the-less, there was
no more confusing noise from the
piano.
All this caused quite a bit of j
laughter from all the students. But j
no, the. program couldn’t be com-!
plete without a third interference, e
Yes, the same ones as before clap- j
jped right at the half of a lovely!
song the Canyon girls sextette ’
was singing.
But as the old saying goes, “the
third time is a charm”, and sure
enough the program continued
| without anymore disturbances.
Canyon, we welcome you back,
and maybe the students will know
