Remorks by Soeretary-Treasurer
John Bunn.

I thought it night be pertinent to point out and to
enumerate just a few of the things that have come to the
Secretary during the vear.

In the first plnce, I didn't realize that this National
Associection of Basketball Coaches was such an important organ-
ization until I became Secrotary-Traasurer. Neithor did I
realize that there were so many things to sell to a convention
until I bacame Secretary-Treasurcr.

think that of the 500 or 600 icttors I have written,
fully sove aty-five per cent of them have: beento hotels,
chambers of commorce, ahd the like, in the various citics of
the United States Gesiring that this convention mect there next
year. i think the netivity around this hotel. in the last day
and a half is indicative of the interest to have our convention
in vavicus citics of the United States next year. Neither did
I realize that there were so many trinkets that should go along
with a ccnvontion, such as badges, types of entertainnent,
picture taking, and so on, and so forth, which have engaged most
of the ettention of the Secretary during the past yoar.

i think probably it might be pertinent to remark that
during this year an attompt has been made by our Presicent to
distribute the work of the Association. Heretofore, mach of it
hans fallen upon the shoulders of the Secretary, Put your
Peesidont has this year seen fit to make our committees and
other officers in the Association become more active in their

particular duties. As a result, the preparations for this
convention were handled entirely by the Convention Comnmittec.

beon handied entirely by the Registration Committee, and a6 on;
i wight ge through the others. Some of the eninge which our
High | School Gommittoo has poavested have boen put into practice
at this year's convention.

The Secretary has sean fit to attempt to reorganize
the record of mombership, ané@ a card file has beon made out
which I think will probably more adequately give us a roccrd
of our membership witnout noving to leaf through too many

pages, and delinquencies and new members can be added in
alphabetical order in this way without very much difficulty.

In addition, it wes found, since the job of Secretary-
Treasurer - bab hand in hand, that our accounts were in the past
made on a shect of 8-1/2 X 11 paper, or whatever happened to be
handy. It ecnes fitting that we have a more pe ermanent record
and, as a au. the journal account system has Deen started
this year. It isn't an expensive scheme at all, in that once
it is set up it is good for seventy-five years without further
expense,
