Activities early in the school year in- cluded a bonfire rally, lighting of the “P”, assemblies, and pre-game rallies. Highlight of the rally “schedule” was the car caravan to Santa Barbara in which more than 150 cars from Poly participated. Assemblies, which were held on the athletic field while weather permitted, were soon “retired” to the Engineering Auditorium, where similar assemblies were held at consecutive hours for the agricultural and industrial divisions.

(jcMntnen t LEON GAROIAN Student Body President DROGRESS was the keynote of stu- dent body activities during the school year 1946-47. Facing the greatest en- rollment in the history of Cal Poly, SAC took the increased problems connected with a larger student body well in its stride. President Garoian appointed a com- mittee to write a new constitution for the Associated Students. Under Blick Wells’ guidance, the committee wrote a well-balanced constitution, which was accepted by the student body. This plus Poly Royal, marked the greatest under- takings by the student body. SAC, one of the most active during the history of Cal Poly, was comprised of many students of former years. Student body dances were held twice each month, with Crandall Gym always packed. The student body participated in civic projects as well, helping with active drives for the Red Cross, Infan- tile Paralysis, and Community Chest.
