Left, Skule At-Home Below, Peregrinus McCulley chots awhile This is the end. In closing I would like to thank all those that I had the privilege of working with for a job well done. It seems a shame tha t the same people do all the dirty work while every- body reaps the beneefits, but rest assured, you have gained invaluable experience. To you, who showed enough confidence in electing me, I hope I have lived up to your expecta- tions; and to all Skulemen Toike Oike and the best of luck in the future. CHARLES S. MAYER the Dean was taken in by it.

The tickets were sold out well in advance. As an experiment a guest speaker was invited who was not an Engineer, with the hope that he may arouse our interests in some field outside our own. Dr. J. B. Hanson- Lowe, a noted geologist from England, spoke on the highly pertinent problem of the ma- jority trying to force the individual thinkers into stereotype patterns. After the presenta- tion of the scholarships the group dispersed to the K.C.R. , Plaza Room, and other such places of intellectual stimulus to discuss the problem further. No sooner had the hangovers from football- weekends cleared up, than it was time for the Cannon Ball. Under the direction of Frank Collins, Artists Al Landsberg and Jim McCart- ney chose the History of the Cannon as the theme, but after an unexpected visit from Yodar Kritch some of the captions got slightly distorted.
