The est Coast Relays were once again a huge success. Fresno State College for the first time acted as host to the Student Body Presidents ' con- yention which was attended by student presidents from the nine western states. The service club week and high school senior week were put on in such a manner as to bring fayorable comment to the college. Fresno State College gained national recognition in securing an executiye position on the Board of Directors of the National Student Federation of America. And now as the school term draws to a close. I feel sure we are completing one of the most progressive years in the history of Fresno State College. It has been a pleasure for me to serve as your president, and the support and cooperation you have given me throughout the year lias been deeply appre- ciated. Next year, with Ralph Taylor as your president, and with the fine support on your part, I know that Fresno State College will continue to advance its standing among the leading educational institutions of the country.

Jim Mayer Associated Students .,. As the present school year draws to a close it is evident that Fresno State College has once again made rapid strides in its march of progress. In athletics, Fresno has more than held its own. The work of the music department during the past year has been outstanding. In addition to making the annual band tour throughout the Valley, various music groups have represented the college at innumerable public affairs, civic and state celebra- tions, athletic contests, and on local and national broadcasts. In the speech division truly outstanding work has been accomplished. The debate and public speaking teams have represented Fresno and the college before service clubs, high schools and universities all over the Pacific Coast. The drama department, in the new University Street Playhouse, has pre- sented four outstanding stage plays and has installed a complete radio studio, with latest facilities and equipment for radio broadcasting. The large number of organizations which have been represented at Student Council meetings has made possible the completion of a great deal of pro- gressive and fine work on the part of this body. The individual work of the various clubs and organizations upon the campus has expressed an attitude of determination, loyalty, and support for the college. Our college publications have this year been better than ever before. -28-
