Une of the most successful accomplishments of the men that semester was the building of an athletic water wagon, and needless to say, it was needed by the Football team and from the enthusiastic reception given it at its initial appearance by the Football crowds it was approved by the spectators. The Annual A.lvi.S. l-lobo Brawl held in the women's gymnasium was a howling success. The Floor was packed and the crowd had a great get together. The second semester started under the reign of Al Appling and an attempt was made to increase the attendance at meetings by short plays and it was very successful. Two smokers were held and the meetings were helpful in bringing' them together For the betterment of all. For the First time the A.ivi.S. sponsored a Swim Carnival which was a tremendous success. Trophies for winners included loving cups and swimming suits. The A.ivi.S. Picnic held at Kearney Park was attended by a crowd that threatened to exhaust the food supply, but in spite of the large number of men, all were Fed and the swiming and baseball games were enjoyed by all. The semester marked a close to a very successful year lor the associated men students. George Sykes . . l3l2ESlDElNl-l' . . AI Appling Tommy Gonzales . . VICE-PlQESlDENT . .

Sykes, Aldrich, Erickson, Anderson, Appling, Thomas, Ratclitle, Safstrom, Heisinger, McCord, Rowe, Wight Board of Directors TATE College Association grew out oi experiences connected with handling oi extra- curricular activities oi the school, and especially the Financial ditticulties that came in connection with the handling ol such matter. At tirst they were handled by the Student Body through its otiicers and through a committee ol an organization known as the Faculty Club. Neither of these was very successful, because ol the overlapping of authority and the consequent confusion. This led to difficulties with the merchants down town through Failure to get their money for goods sold. It was suggested by Mr. Ratclitle that the way out was to combine these two bodies into an organization to be known as the li. S. C. A. to be made up ol members ol the faculty and students. With the control of the Financial end in the hands ol a committee made up ol students and faculty. The student members were elected and the faculty members appointed by the President of the College, who was also a member ol the board. This committee was First called the Finance Com- mittee which was part of a ,larger committee that was called the Board ol Directors. Later a slight change was made abolishing the name of Finance Committee, and placing the control oi the Finances in the hands ol the Board of Directors. The Board ol Directors now made up ol eight members-four faculty, and four student members.
