GO RNOF K— yp TrSemestcr. Faced d what is per- haps the most Vnique physical equipment found any- where in the coimtrv, or probablv the world Wilson governors were confronted by the immeasurable task of atpmpting to carry forward an administration which had been stripped of many precedents and conventions that had made former adminiytrations relatively simple. With- out gyms, auditorium, social hall, committee rooms, caf- eteria, lunch rooms, and the inviting shade of the former buildings, manv sources of powerful student spirit, stu- dent contact, and school morale were gone. Nevertheless, it was a thankful Board of Governors and ytudent bodv which began the school year housed in tents as they recalled the chill winds and glaring sun which accompanied their class work last Spring. Attempting to bridge the gap the Board was confronted with the problem of maintaining student morale in distinctly dif- ferent surroundings. Offices were crowded, and organ- izations were compelled to meet in Tent 53 the same period. Assemblies were unsatisfactorv, and many were dispensed with until a public address system was installed. Meeting the challenge which attended problems in Tent City . Governors were encouraged bv a record attendance of students at Wilson. New clubs were organized, and institutions such as the fire squad were reorganized to meet the demands of the new routine. Several successful outdoor assemblies were sponsored in the band shell, the annual awards assembly at which ' Cotton Warburton and Julie Bescoes spoke, being recalled bv students with enthusiasm. Contests, such as the Thanksgiving baskets and Christmas decorations con- tests, designed to forward friendly competition between home rooms, went far in building spirit and morale. Members of tlu Board were: Charles Flint, Governor of Affairs; Hel- n Ramsell, Governor of Welfare; Dave Nave and T.amoine Evans Governors of Safctv: Don Hessenius, Governor of .Athletics; John Mangold, Advis- er; and Leon G. Catlin, Financial Secretary. Governors — Top Row: Charlfs Flint, Donald Hessenius. Bottom Row: Helen Ramsell, jerry Bennett, Gordon Miner. Cameron Col- lier, Lamoine Evans, John Mangold, adviser 24
