Fail Cabinet From precedent to precedent ' rM M Top row: T. Westergard, President; G. Desmond, Vice-President; E. Rodgers. Secre- tary; K. Elliott, Treasurer. Bottom row: K. Smith, Rep. of Arts; B. Rope, Rep. of Athletics; K. Dod, Rep. of Student Body; D. Tobin. Editor of Viking. Wednesday, September 13 — eight o ' clock, eyes sought chisses through a jumble of tents — language teachers found their groups composed of physics and chemistry students — general pandemonium. After time and cooperation — a welded working unit. Assembling for the first time, the fall semester Associated Student Body cabinet met at the home of Miss Mattie M. Faine, dean of activities. Guiding the activities of the college were: dark, hard- working Tex Westergard, president; affable, silver-voiced Eugenia Rodgers, secretary; naive, sincere Gerald Desmond, vice-president; golfing, pedantic Kenneth Dod, representative of the student body; business-like Kenneth Elliott, treasurer; the convivial, politic foot- ball guard, Kenneth Smith, representative of arts; and slouching, unassuming Don Tobin, editor of the V iking. Thev showed interest in plans for the new Junior College, to be located on Carson Street east of Cerritos Avenue. Principal John L. Lounsbury has worked with Superintendent H. S. Upjohn in plan- ning the project. A dream of many years ' standing will be realized for Lounsburv when Long Beach ' s junior college occupies its new site. The faculty believes with him that a more unified plant will re- sult from a break away from the high schools. From her office in the Administration building. Miss Mattie M. Faine directs the extra-curricular activities of the student body. She has charge of the social calendar, clubs, dances, the Employment Bureau, and the Student Loan Fund. 10

By the end of registration, twelve hundred and twenty-hve stu- dents had enrolled. According to S. Lance Brintle, stocky, jovial, natty dean of records, registration ran ofif with exceptional smooth- ness. We noticed a few exceptions. Early Monday morning, the eternal masculine, halfback Jack Moss appeared upon the registration scene displaying under one tan arm a pair of shiny football shoes. It wasn ' t long, however, before we noticed him heave a sigh and leave the grounds. Freshwomen weren ' t to enroll until the following day. Then, too, it would have been a lot smoother if so many tactless butters had awaited their turn in line. For instance, tall, deterrnined Viola Nielsen elbowing her way through the group awaiting C. W. Jackson ' s signature on their trial study lists.
