Sullivan McDowell President Ed McLean and speaker of congress Lillian Weiss, with the help of Jean Spink, first vice-president, and Jacqueline Block, second vice- president, has brought to a close another successful term. We had excellent rallies for each game and more and better dances than ever before. Faced with the A.A.A. budget cut, treasurers Ed Walsh and Don Peters worked to overcome this handicap. They did achieve their aim and before the end of the term had the budget balanced. They made it possible for student body card holders to enter the fair several times for the price of ten cents. Custodian Bill Gunther kept trophies and bulle- tin board up to date, thus keeping the student body informed on all activities. Our youngest officer, Athletic Manager Jack Schipper, found himself buried under stacks of nickles and dimes but was able to come out on top of the pile holding a fine record for ticket sales. Cheerleader Bill Sullivan and his two assistants, Norman Applebaum and Bill Weiss, have done a fine job directing the card stunts and the cheers of the students in the grandstands. Judge Cecil McDowell called the Student Court to order every Wednesday morning. He deserves credit for the outstanding way in which he handled the criminal” offenders of Polytechnic.

The Chamber of Commerce is one of the indis- pensable and honored organizations of the school. The idea of this club is to further the ideals and standards that are for the betterment of Polytechnic. The C. of C. is the largest service organization in the school and is equaled only by the Boys’ Block P.” Any boy who has reached his high sophomore year, has a C average, and is outstanding in school service is eligible for membership. The officers this term were: Keith Whitecar, president; Bill Trood, vice-president; Gridley Dorr, secretary; and Lloyd Strom, treasurer. Much credit is due Mr. Henry Kunz, the faculty advisor, for his help in making this term a great success. Among the events of the term were the formal installation of the new members and the semi- annual banquet. Meetings were held on every other Monday night in room 80. It is hoped that the Chamber of Commerce will continue its sendee in the future as successfully as it has in the past.
