The Air Conditioning club, incorporated witn the usual scholastic activity, is led by John Miller, and although not too eminent socially it has and continues to contribute greatly to- ward such campus activities as the Poly Royal and many others. It has also on occasion complied with local citizens’ requests for aid with their air conditioning displays. Probably the most interesting activities of the club are the frequent field trips made to other com- munities. These trips consist mainly of the visiting and observation of various prominent air conditioning installations in major build- ings in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. The department itself is extremely capable in producing men thoroughly versed in every aspect both theoretical and practical of air conditioning. The Mechanical Engineering department is at present forming a club to be called the Poly Engineers, and should become active within a few' months’ time. This department, headed by Mr. C. E. Knott and instructed by Mr. J. H. McGrath, is devoted mostly to prac- tical drafting work and other affiliated phases of Mechanical Engineering. The drafting prac- tice is usually a requisite for students ma- joring in an industrial subject offered at the college such as Aeronautical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The Architectural Department, although now' non-existent, is slowdy but surely ap- proaching its old status as an integral part of the other industrial courses. Before the war the department was very active but at present there are only three students major- ing in architecture here at school. However, the department shows signs of a possible re- birth under the direction and instruction of Mr. J. H. McGrath.

T ASS another drumstick.” How about some more chicken?” Happy birthday, Mr. Leach!” Where did you say the ice cream was?” Those were some of the remarks heard when the poultry students were enjoying the annual turkey banquet, chicken fry, and special surprise birthday party for our sponsor Mr. Leach. The annual turkey banquet held No- vember 17 in honor of the poultry alumni, and the chicken fry held February 23, were the usual successful events with the feather mer- chants,” their wives, and girl friends gorging themselves on turkey and fried chicken. The surprise birthday party given for Mr. Leach was celebrated in El Corral where a good time was had by all. With 33 members in the poultry club this year it is the largest poultry club to date. Under the guidance of President Allen Ren- wick and Secretary Jay Chubby Tucker it has been one of the active clubs on the campus. Another event of major importance this year was the Poultry show during Poly Royal. Each member had an entry in this show. The Blow- out” this spring was a hilarious affair. At this time the student who had earned the most money in the poultry unit treated ‘The Gang' to a show. The second highest in earning bought the refreshments. This went on down to the last man who bought a stick of gum for the crowd. This occasion has always brought a pleasant ending to a year of hard work. Much has been accomplished by the poultry department this year including expanding the poultry breeding program and the hatching and sale of a large number of chicks to various poultrymen. Poly chicks were recently sent as far as Hawaii when Bob Wong, a sophomore poultry major, sent them to his parents farm in Hawaii.
