The Commissioners met the second day alter election as representatives from their respective classes, and nominated candidates for president. From the nominees, John Walp received the majority vote, and took care of the designation of the various duties provided for in the Constitution. The commissioners of girls' and boys' athletics—Pauline Fletcher and Virgil Rund-—were the only positions allotted by student body vote on the ballot, and were automatically made chairmen of their committees of three students from the council. Meriam Allingham, senior representative, acted as secretary to the commission council as approved by their vote. John Kelley, senior representative, was appointed as dramatics adviser. Gail Sigford, junior representative, held the position of financial commissioner. Genevieve Moon controlled the student-faculty relations committee, elected from the sophomore class. Burnelle Kelley, freshman, was chairman of the social committee. Each chairman selected two commissioners to assist in his work. This project was promoted by several of the students and faculty, who saw a need for renovating or replacing the previous type of student body control. The student committee that wrote the constitution was composed of Roy Winsell, chairman. Eve Benz, Genevieve Moon and Marjorie Gier.
