KIIQKPATIRICK Ri CIIARIJ DPVALI. '1'AvLon XVAGNER PRESIDENTS-Student body life and activity were colored during the year by the dynamic personalities of the presidents, Claude Downs and Phil Kirk- patrick, in the first and second semesters respectively. Both were leaders of great ability. Claude Downs, serving his third term as student body president. took oflice at the beginning of the school year and. Bring the students with his own enthusi- asm, soon had the student body organized into a smooth-running unit. More co-ordinated and representative activity was made possible by making attendance at student body meetings compulsory. Phil Kirkpatrick guided the ship of state in the second semester and ably lived up to his reputation as a good leader. Although only a first-year student, he amply justified the confidence placed in him. Due to his energetic supervision the Senior-Welcome Dance and Ditch Day are remembered as highlights of the year's activities.

ASSOCIATED WOMEN'S STUDENT B0DY-DeVe10ping rapidly since its establishment in 1929, the Associated Women's Student Body has this year been a source of much pleasure and benefit to the women of the Taft Junior College. Its success has been due to the co-operation of its officers under the leadership of the presidents for both semesters, Gaye Mattoon and Mary Owens, and to Miss Edna Dessery. as adviser. Activities of the present year were many and varied. During the early part of the year several candy sales were given. The new students were welcomed into the association at a tea held October 23 in the Domestic Science Building. On the night of the Taft-California Polytechnic football game, the women sponsored a consolation sport dance. The most important event of the first semester was a mother-and-daughter banquet held during the Christmas holidays. This was the first time that such an event had been held by the association. During the dinner the guests were entertained by music and impersonations. As an opening to the new semester a fashion show was given January 22, the proceeds of which were to be used for later functions. Credit for the success of the pay assembly should be given to Geraldine Moore, who planned the show. The officers of the association and Miss Dessery represented Taft at the annual convention of Junior College women held at Modesto on March 4 and 5. Later in the season an April Eool's party was held at the home of the president, Mary Owens. Everyone came appropriately dressed, and amusing games were played during the evening. An entertaining social event of the second semester was a Co-ed Caper party given April 23. A precedent has been established this year in planning to give at least one social event each month. A luncheon, a tea, and a May breakfast were held during the last three months of the school year. This organization has left a record of good times. of friendly and worth- while activity, and of happy memories and has set up a standard which will furnish a goal for the efforts of following years.
