SPRING PRESIDENT 25 The overwhelming victory of Bill Fahs in tlie spring election was a fitting cli- max to his years of service to the school. In the fall of 193 3 Bill was elected editor of the Dar-U-Gar; how- ever, an injury necessitated his with- drawal from school. When he returned to the campus this fall he started build- ing up popularity that resulted in his presidential victory. He was also presi- dent of the Tartar Knights and held an office in Beta Phi. As srudent-body president he organized the A. M. S. This body staged the First Annual A. M. S. dance, and a Men ' s stag, which climaxed t h e annual in- tra-mural day. Circus perforniers, the music department, extemporaneous speakers, and entertainers from other junior colleges featured the assemblies, which rose to the highest level since the destruction of the auditorium. Fiis popularity and unusual administrative ability were the qualities characterizing Bill Fahs as student body president.

Pete Zamperini was elected president of the Associated Student Body at the fall elections. Pete was an outstanding school figure and ath- lete and soon proved his executive ability. Af- ter he took office, he announced that Comp- ton hac the best school spirit of any institu- tion in the conference, and that it was his duty to preserve this attitude. The Annual Wel- come Dance in honor of the new students be- gan the social program of the campus. Home Coming Day was celebrated which was well attended and brought many illustrious alumni back to the school. The efficient and judicious student body control which was exercised in the council demonstrates this president ' s administrative ability. Under the impetus given by his enthusiasm, many new pep co- ordinating devices sprang up. The Tartarette drill team, the rally committee, and the Bache- lor Club ' s assemblies are foremost among these. The general rise in student body in- terest during this semester is perhaps the best measurement of Pete Zamperini ' s success as a student body president. ALL PRESIDENT 24
