GIVEN BY VALLEY
A hint of the bit tent, a peep Into
French drama, a lovely wisp of music
and a dash of dancing characterized
the assembly Friday morning at the
Valley school, attended by an ap
preciative audience of patrons and
friends.
A clever little song i: umber was
flrat to carry the mlnde of the aud
ience to memories of circus day.
Sung by Alicia Ruhl and Nancy Day,
It portrayed the Jolly life of the
clown, whose actions were drama
tised in convincing style by the two
young misses.
The French story, dramatized by
the pupils, waa read in the French
by Julie Carpenter. David Rosenberg
and Patricia Farrell carried the lead
ing roles In the portrayal of the
story.
Pupils of the p re-primary clans
and the first grade presented the
circus playlet, taking their audience
through tent and concessions. Patsy
GeBauer waa manager of the merry-go-round;
Byron Shelby peddled pea
nuts and popcorn, and Peggy Scherer
appeared as the mother, the other
members of etna class as her children
enjoying circus day.
Proving the versatility of the
young entertainers, members of Mrs.
Frank Dltzler's class danced a tap
number. Those participating were
June Carpenter, Barbara, Jean Shel
don. Patricia Farrell, Nanette Rosen
berg and Alicia Ruhl.
AUcla Ruhl also played piano

their win over the Medford Eagles
a week ago was no fluke. After
protesting the game with Talent the

crew today and will let the result
decide their argument, rather than

for the Eagles In an attempt to prove
to -his erstwhile buddies that he
