To supervise this organization, the Student Body elected Donald Hanson, president, Retha Gom- pertz, first vice-president, Georgia Hicks, second vice-presi- dent, Donald Cronin, secretary, Petro Evergettis, treasurer, Walter Fink, custodian, Marvin Compton, athletic manager. Millard Buckman and Charles Williams led the cheers at the rallies and athletic events. After much pro and con arguing, it was decided that the Student Court was necessary to the school and should be continued. Dick Gratton was appointed judge and Dorothy Smith, court secretary, filing all offenses in the catalog. The jury was composed of the presidents and vice-presidents from L1's to H4,s. Pete Evergettis with the assistance of Bob Heidenreich, managed the Student Body dues.

Georgia Hicks and her committee sponsored several dances in celebra- tion of such colorful events as Valentine's Day, February 29, and St. Pat- rick's Day. - Under the supervision of Bill Mackey and the rally committee, Mr. Gedar of the Y. M. C. A. of Berlin, Germany, was presented to the school, as was also Mr. William Finley, noted naturalist. A Student Body assembly was held March 28 for the purpose of discussing the proper use of the library. No faculty members were present and the success of the rally rested with officers and students. With Bill Mackey as master of ceremonies, a rally for the purpose of dedicating the newly acquired trophy case was held April 25. Under Donald Cronin the Clean-Up committee sponsored Poly- technic Beautiful Weekf' April 25-29. The long-awaited Public Address System has been installed. After trying out various kinds to test their perfection, the new one was at last chosen. It is portable, and may be installed in any part of the building, as well as in the court. Hello Week, similar to Spirit Week and Greater Polytechnic Week of previous terms, was the outstanding event of the semester. One entire week was profitably spent in the development of student control, co- operation and loyalty. The objective which the Forum Club and Student Body had in view was to promote friendliness and to assist the students in becoming acquainted. 'QHello Cards, with space for forty signatures of
