TECH-ART RECORD The Students’ Association During the past terms the Students’ Association has set up a record for efficiency in controlling the multifarious activities of its? members that will be hard to surpass. Organization, financing and carrying on a wide range of student interests has formed the chief part of the Association’s work during the year, and in every case the business has been done in a manner that is above criticism. Since the organization virtually dies each spring and rises anew in the fall, it was but natural that the first executive should be composed almost entirely of second year students who had had the opportunity of seeing the previous year’s work conducted. Valuable groundwork in preparing for a successful term was done by Bob Rae, president, and his assistants, who were responsible for most of the organization work in connection with student activities. They gave school life a fine start, and when their terms of office expired they continued to give their support and counsel to the first year students who, to a large extent, filled their positions. The depressed financial condition of the Association during the 1930-31 term gave rise to an urgent need for a program of economy. Both executives worked hard in their efforts to keep down expenses, and the results of their efforts may be judged from the fact that the third term will probably see the Association in a much better financial condition than it was at the same time last year. In the matter of conducting general and executive meetings, the Association’s officers have excelled themselves. Executive meet¬ ings, especially, have been carried on with efficiency and dispatch. The pros and cons of many questions have been fully debated, but only rarely were the meetings permitted to drag on this account. General meetings have usually been brief. The work of the executive and the various committees has tended to eliminate long discussions at the weekly gatherings, and there has been noticed a growing feel¬ ing that the executive should look after all business, leaving the general meetings almost entirely for entertainment purposes. Taken all round, the Students’ Association has made a very creditable showing this year. Its biggest triumphs have been in handling its financial problems, but in looking after athletics, dances, the annual banquet, literary programs and school publications, the Association has met with great success.
