Westphal and Dr. Wendell Close, moderator of the retail training classes, who perfectly functioned as a team in the school's first semester and continue in the second semester which started September 17. Sowers reported that Club ll7 had been honored by being asked to provide the Concatenation kit for the International Convention of Hoo-Hoo in San Francisco later in the month, and concluded by praising Scott Mclntyre for the preparation of the handsome banners that Riverside Hoo-Hoo displays.

President Bert Holdren spoke next and modestly recounted the high spots of the successful administration he was ending and related the greater goals of Hoo-Hoo International. When he concluded. Dealer Don Oakes called for audience acknowledgement of Holdren's fine administration and a standing vote of applause was generously given. Club 117 got into high gear under Don Derbes in the 1954-55 term, rolled smoothly along under Holdren and is now well on its way. Holdren was sincere in his words of thanks to all members for their team spirit and cooperation.

The election was the next event and, try as he would, the popular Bob Saucke could not decline the high office to which Club 117 wished to elect him. Upon accepting the president's gavel from Holdren, Saucke said he had nothing but praise for Hoo-Hoo work he has seen since 1924 buf seldom had he seen an administration as successful as Bert Holdren's. He also had good words for the serious side and fine aims of the fraternal organization.

The meeting closed with a few words about the second semester of the retail training institute, at which all new subjects will be tackled, and it was reported that the large class enrollment had been expressing their eagerness all summer to "get back to school."

Smaller gatherings of the Riverside county lumbermen kept up the good club spirit right into the "closing hour."
