The execs distinguished themselves in so many ways during the 1953-54 year that we must let this year’s DON speak for their accomplishments. Heading the outstanding group was Dom Tarantino, known for his tact and administrative ability. Dom placed himself entirely at the disposal of the ASUSF and gave his many talents for its betterment. The Dons were always pleased to have him represent them on his many trips which took him all over California and to Arizona. From Tacoma. Washington, came our ever-smiling, ever working Veep. Jim Cavanaugh. “Smiley soon earned the respect of his classmates as an indefatigable administrator. He displayed a knack for producing one of the finest social seasons in recent memory. Bob Troseler. a popular business administration student, spent many hours setting up his treasurer’s files.

The Board of Student Control found much to do around the campus in fulfilling its functions. And under the chairmanship of able Dave Devincenzi they performed them well. Dave, a native San Franciscan who had his college years split by military service, re- turned with added experience and maturity which he willingly gave to his job as B.S.C. Chairman. He will be remembered also for some of the fine drama work he contributed to the success of the College Players. One of the ablest seniors of this graduating class was Ed Antognoli. Elected Senior Delegate to the San Francisco Region, XFCCS. Ed outlined early in the year an extensive program for the Campus Committee. By the end of the spring semester we could all look back on a year during which the aims and purposes of XFCCS had been given considerable impetus at the University. Ed represented the University in the Regional Council as well as at the National Convention of XFCCS in Cincinnati.
