JOE T. McDONNELL, Graduate Manager Graduate Kj iawaaet Making this his last and probably most outstanding year as graduate manager, Joe T. McDonnell was busy constantly. Among the many accomplishments of his office were moving the football field so additional bleachers could be installed, thus making possible the beginning of a reserved seat season-book system, and the instituting for the first time in the his- tory of the University of card tricks for the student cheering section. A new sign-up system for games played away from home was successfully begun and operated. In the gymnasium, the graduate manager was instrumental in obtaining and install- ing telescopic bleachers and the purchas- ing of suspended baskets. For the first time the graduate manager has had a full-time assistant and secretary. Gene Mastroianni was appointed assistant and Erma Capurro was secretary.
