E.V. Finland, strict governor of the Gyros, performed the installation ceremony in the absence of Clarence Lougheed, president of Gyro international. Archie Wills, the new president, on formally assuming office forecasted a successful year for Gyro. He thanked the club for reposing confidence in him and hoped that his record at the end of the term would show that this confidence had not been misplaced. Mr. Wills paid a tribute to Archie Muir, the retiring president, whom he congratulated upon his new role with the junior group of the Chamber of Commerce. He also hoped Mr. Lougheed would soon be restored to health. In closing he asked the Gyros to serve Gyro to the best of their ability during the 365 days of the year. FOUNDED ON FRIENDSHIP E.V.

Prentice; directors, Sidney Chiverall; Cyril Baker, Aubrey Kent, Arthur Kerr and Dr. Charles Mess.
