King makes fourth appearance; • • mertts enthusiastic ovatton "I'm so inspired," stated a Palomar coed following the unusually successful assembly last Friday featuring Charles\ E. King. In his fourth appearance at Palomar, King received what he described as a "total reaction" from the student body. King set the mood of the assembly by not singing first, as expected, but telling of his personal experience in adopting two young girls in Africa. The touching story was spotted with humorous anecdote·s which preceded a series of spiritual songs sung by King. "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "I Done Found My Lost Sheep," and the livelier "Choose Your SeatandSitDown" began the morning's program. Kingthen turned to that part of the program which included audience participation and asked everyone to "turn and say something nice to at least three people." There was a moment of mass confusion while the 500-plus students and faculty exchanged greetings. "If You're Happy and You Know it, Clap Your Hands," was the first song King led the student body in singing. The spirit was high, and as King described it, "everyone try to forget who they are." Next King called on four students from the audience to help him in "It's me, Oh Lord," each student singing a verse while the student body sang the chorus. The .students, Marjorie Wert2:, Penny Hill, Dave Compton, and Dave Breeze, courageously stepped forward. "What a marvelous, marvelous student body." Ending his program, King asked the students to sing "Kurnbaya." An un-

experienced atmosphere set in as the students sang the song and King slipped out the door, unnoticed. When the song ended, there was a long silent pause before the audience burst into applause. When King re-entered, they gave him a standing ovation. King thought that it would be appropriate to end with some Christmas music, "Oh Corne All Ye Faithful." "Silent Night" was sung as the student body filed out of the student union, setting the mood for Christmas.

TELESCOPE publication will be cancelled during the Christmas holidays and will not resume until January 10, 1967. That issue, number 15, will be the last issue of the TELESCOPE this semester.

Annual Christmas assembly Friday Burrill Monk's lively band and Joe Stanford's polished chorus will present the student body and faculty with the annual .Christmas program this Friday at 10 a.m. in the student union.

Other individuals to be performing will be Patti Peterson on the flute, and Mrs. Joy Day on the harp, in "The Holy Infant's Lullaby."
