Vice President have presided, and on at least one occasion,

2

a bewildered delegate was called upon to assume the Chair

3

without any prior notice and not being entirely certain

4

what was going on at the moment. But at no time have we

5

had the privilege of having our Honorary President assume

6

the Chair.

7

It gives me great pleasure now to request

8

Delegate J. Millard Tawes to take the Chair. (Applause)

HONORARY PRESIDENT TAWES: Little did I ever

12

realize that I would have any opportunity to preside over

13

any sessions of this Convention, but the time has come when

14

we have a few ceremonial duties to perform, and I have been

15

requested by the Chairman of the Committee for Special

16

Presentations to occupy the Chair for these few brief

17

moments .

18

I should like to request Delegate E. J. Clarke,

19

the Chairman of the Committee for Special Presentations,

20

please to join me here on the rostrum for the purpose of

21

assisting in these presentations.
