.Y Governors — Rickman, Boswell, Ray, Mr. Mangold, Mr. Catlin, Duckham. • Governors . . . Pioneering in Tent City during the sec- ond year, the governors were faced with the same enomous problems that their predecessors had faced. • Wind, dust, torrential floods, marooned tents demanded their attention as did shrinking budgets and wavering school spirit. Since the auditorium, cafeteria, and gym, sources of student enthusiasm., were quake-ridden, governors had to de- vise other media to carry forward the ambitious program of a valiant Wilson to keep her place in the sun. Inaugurating the Awards Dinner Dances, the governors disclosed a new way of presenting awards. They have assisted in sponsoring the Alumni home-coming. Student Body Ticket Drives, as- semblies, and Athletic certificates. Mr. Mangold has stated, The first semester governors have done such fine work in cooperating with Mr. Davis on the Athletic Award Dinner Dance that great credit is due to their sponsorship. I X Athletes, journalists, debaters, aitists, and students active in numerous school activities turned out in a blaze of glory to receive their well-earned letters, em- blems, and certificates at the first Awards ' Dinner Dance to be sponsored by the Board of Governors. Perhaps genuine loyalty and spirit never reached a higher peak in Wilson annals than it did when Wilson ' s select reveled with each other.
