In May 1979 the traditional president&#8217;s &#8216;handover&#8217; ceremony for the City and Guilds Union took place on the steps of the Albert Memorial.<\/p>\n<p>Also featured and captured on tape was the guilds &#8216;Boomalaka&#8217; cry. Making an appearance too are &#8216;Spanner and Bolt&#8217; the union mascots. I&#8217;m very much hoping that when I can fully investigate all of the videotapes that there will be more items like this one, that captures the life and history of Imperial students.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about this event in the 19th May 1979 edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/f001.backblazeb2.com\/file\/felixonline\/issues\/pdfs\/felix_518.pdf\">Felix <\/a>&#8211; see page 6.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Guilds Handover Ceremony: May 1979\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AruptUr4qb0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colin Grimshaw March 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May 1979 the traditional president&#8217;s handover ceremony took place for City and Guilds Union&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18461,53,82],"tags":[3929,212,89],"class_list":["post-7507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-college-history","category-events","category-student-life","tag-city-and-guilds","tag-stoic","tag-students"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7507"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7507\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7543,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7507\/revisions\/7543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
