X N ll X X If you went to summer school and didn,'t cut this particular convocation, you shouldnlt have too much trouble in picking yourself out of the crowd. White shirts and light dresses characterize the sweltering summer audience, intent on hearing the weelfs speaker. This congregation constitutes a mere shadow of the normal fulltime student body, which requires two convocation hours to complete- ly accommodate it. Work continued on the new Audi- torium building and the MCBS studios, while the Music Department formed its newest permanent addition, the Macales- ter Menls Chorus. The l947 Mac year- hook was finally distributed, and plans were completed for the Mexican Cara- van. For book-weary students there was recreation in the form of canoe trips, tennis, mixers, co-rec gym nights, and horseback riding. Summer school enrollment was in- creased hy the presence of an unusual number of returning veterans and new students. Registration for the summer session, went smoothly and Faculty advisors were a big help. Here Dr. Edwin Kagin assists Ellsworth E.

Summer, 1947, and while some Mac- ites Worked and loafed, 466 others pre- pared to forego hot Weather pleasures and financial gains to continue classes through the hot Weather months. Profes- sor Royal A. Moore was in charge of the summer session. Due to the large enrollment, classes were run through the afternoon, thus avoiding Saturday classes, and convoca- tions, instead of on a weekly basis, were presented every other week. Bigelow Hall and the Barracks were used to house the men. and the girls lived in Wallace Hall.
