Watching over Wilson ' s well- being like eagles were the Commissioners, who were directly responsible to the Governor of Safety and led by Walter Hooker and Charles Arnold, head commissioners. Safety drills, assemblies, student control, conduct, discipline in the new buildings, all were under the jurisdiction of this active organization. The twenty-three commissioners conducted campus cleanup drives to preserve an aspect of tidiness about Co-operating with the Long Beach Fire Department, under the direction of Fire Chief DuRee, several fire drills were held under the inspection of fire prevention officials. Work- ing together with the regular commissioners were Virginia Flunter and Harriet Spath, head girl commissioners, and seven subordinates. •r Probably the greatest success of all the social events sponsored by Wilson this year was the first Awirds ' Dinner Dance held for the purpose of presenting ath- letic letters, jeweled and gold Ws, debate, journalism, art, and many other awards. Under the direction of Coach Roland T. Davis, the governors inaugurated this new and unique way of presenting awards which it is hoped will do away with the dull uninteresting assemblies held in the past.
