Out of the confusion comes silence cmd attention as another Associated Student Body assembly is called to order. Most of the assembly time this year was given over to a series of well-bal- anced and varied programs, planned and presented by Mr. Ernest Mclnnes, the director of student assemblies. The more serious of these programs included lectures by well-known authorities, concerning foreign affairs, American prob- lems, and scientific industries. One of the most interesting and educational pro- grams of this type was a lecture and demonstration on electricity and its uses in the motion picture and radio industries. The vividly colored, noisy, electrical display with artificial lightning, music played on whirling disks, and metal rings which defied the laws of gravitation was a sight to be long remembered. A number of amateur contests, amusing plays, and singing assemblies, many of which were presented by classes and school organizations, furnished the lighter entertainment for the student body. The noon movies proved to be one of the most popular forms of student body entertainment. Lunches were hastily swallowed, and the auditorium was crowded whenever a motion picture was presented. Sharing attraction honors with the picture shows were the noon dances and the Golden Gloves Boxing Tournaments. These noon-time activities were planned for the enjoyment of the students. Competent officers, advised by Mr. D. T. Williams, and a student body willing to co-operate have combined their efforts to form an efficient government. Horse racing, the sport of kings, can easily be encroached I upon by lesser individuals, but passing the gavel is a sport restricted entirely to presidents: so, with greater pleasure and less ceremony than ever before, I pass on all the trials and tribulations of a Student Body President to my very competent successor, Gilbert Downs, says Lee Graham, A. S. B. Presi- dent for the first semester, as he hands the gavel to Gilbert Downs, his successor. As one horse racer to another, I am fully sensible of the obligations which you so qlibly pass along with the gavelg I hope, however, that your proficiency will accompany the responsibilities so that I may administer the Student Body affairs with at least a semblance of your sophistication and aplomb, replies Gilbert. 6 i .
