The classification of these letters was decided at the student body election as follows: eight inch letters shall be awarded to the five major sports: football, basketball, base ball, track, and aquatics, while other varsity sports and class B sports shall receive the six inch letter; and class C sports, the five and one-half inch size. To help bring about official sanction of dancing in Poly, the commis- sioner of affairs appointed a committee to place the matter before the P. T. A. The commissioner of safety supervised an investigation of cafeteria food and aided the fire department in conducting drills efficiently. At suggestion of the commissioner of athletics, it was decided that teams win- ning sectional championships should be given life passes. Through the efforts of the commissioner of welfare, one-hundred dollars were appro- priated for improvements in the Girls 1 League cabin. On motion of the commissioner of arts, it was voted to award debate letters to students participating in two inter-class debates and one interscholastic debate.
