Doe Vergun on a field goal attempt in Saturday's 80-79 overtime win over Coast Guard

Guardsmen with 28 points while theirr big freshman forward Bob Thorlntonbucketed 21.

Allen started the evening's scoringwithin the first five seconds of play ashe took a pass off the center jump anddrove all the way for the lay up.Sophomore forward Mac Jordanswished two free throws seconds laterand the teams continued to exchangebuckets for the first five minutes. Dur-ing this period Vergun and Jordankept the Cardinal and Gray in thegame almost single handedly as theyscored all of the Beavers' first 15points. After eight minutes of play,Thornton hit onr, two rebounds and afoul shot as the Blue and White pulledout into a 5 point lead. Substituteguard John Patierno led a Beavercomeback a minute later, sinking a setand a jump from 20 feet, while Ver-gun was also hitting from the key.The Engineers finally tied the scoreat 30 to 30, but the Guardsmen quick-ly reopened a 3 point lead. For therest of the half, Vergun exchangedbaskets with the opposition as hescored 9 points in a row. Finally, withthe score at 44 to 40 and with 15 se-conds remaining, Vergun sank the firstof two foul shots, and, after he missedthe second, forward Norm Howardtipped in the rebound closing the-halfwith the visitors one point ahead,44 to 43. The first half was markedby terrific fight and aggressiveness onthe part of the Guardsmen as theyliterally ran the Beavers into the floorwith their fast breaking, ball-hawkingtactics., Also notable were the individ-ual performances of Vergun and Allen,who scored 22 and 20 points respec-tively.

The Whitelawmen started fast inthe second half as Jordan swished ajump from 5 feet out, and Howardsank a push from the key and a driv-ing lay up to open up a 5 point lead.The Blue and White rebounded quickly

Thirty Alfred P. Sloan Fellowshipsin executive development, availableto outstanding young executives forstudy at the Institute during the1956-57 year, were announced lastweek by Dean E. P. Brooks of theSchool of Industrial Management.

The winners of the fellowships willattend the 12-month Executive De-velopment Program founded at MIIT25 years ago. Arriving in June, 1956,they will study economics, labor, fi-nance, human relations, and adminis-tration. Four weeks will be spent infield trips to the Midwest, New York,Washington, D. C., and Ottawa,Canada.

Fellowships, Dean Brooks said, willbe awarded young executives who arenominated by their employers on thebasis of "proven capacity for growthinto major executive responsibilities."

The nation-wide competition willclose on March 2, 1956. Applicationsand further information are nowavailable from Professor Howard W.Johnson, director of the program.

"These fellowships are a uniqueopportunity," Dean Brooks said inannouncing this year's program, "formen on the threshold of major lead-ership power to acquire the workingtools and breadth of vision to dis-charge effectively the executive func-tion."

"We a re concerned," Professor

Johnson emphasizes, "with the devel-opment in future leaders of a broadunderstanding not only of the severalfunctions within their companies butalso of the role of their companiesin the nation's industrial economyand social structure."

Participation in the Executive De-velopment Program is limited to be-tween 30 and 35 recipients of SloanFellowships. Nomination by an em-ployer is a plrerequisite, since em-ployers cooperate in the program bysponsoring these men and by pro-viding successful candidates with ayear's leave of absence and financialaid. Fellows are drawn from bothlarge and small companies in vari-ous types of industry.

Candidates normally must be be-tween the ages of thirty and thirty-five and they should have at leastfive to ten years of industrial experi-ence, with part of this experience ina managerial capacity. Fellowshipwinners will be selected on a com-petitive basis by MIT after consid-eration of the applicants' records andreferences and after consultationwith their employers.

Awards include cash grants rang-ing upward from $1,000. Each SloanFellow in residence at the Institutein Cambridge for twelve months,moves his family to Boston for the

In addition, the Coun-cil changed the method for selectingithe Class B representatives. Rather'than electing them at large from theI73 Class B groups, the Class B or-iganizations have been subdivided intofive categories, each of which will"have one representative. The cate-gories are Professional Societies andHonorary Groups; Religious Activi-ties; Hobby, Music, and DramaGroups; Honor Societies (non-profes-sional); Social Activities.

Although the Council felt almostunanimously that increased Class Brepresentation was necessary, therewas considerable debate about themerits of the plan finally adopted. Thecategorization of the activities intofive groups will be used on a trialbasis for this year.

The Council also considered a pro-posal made at the December leader-ship conference, recommending thecreation of a post of Associate Deanof Students for Activities. Despite

;the fact that this proposal had metwith some support both at the con-ference and at recent meetings, the

igeneral consensus was that such aPerson would not -a-ve enough to do

Course In AstronomyOf fered ToFreshmen

Announcement of a new freshmanelective was made recently by Pro-fessor Robert R. Shrock of the de-partment of Geology and geophysics.The course is Astronomy and willbe numbered 12.001. A description ofthe course follows.

ASTRONOMY-The history of as-tronomy will be surveyed and itscontributions in philosophy and sci-ence to our modern civilization willbe pointed out. Emphasis will beplaced on present theories of the age,origin, and evolution of the universe.The early lectures will deal with thebasic physical and chemical princi-ples and the instruments that areused in modern astrophysics. Thesewill be followed by a study of theplanets and their relation to theuniverse. The concepts of stellar mag-nitudes, spectral classification, stel-lar energy production, galactic dy-namics, universe expansion, and ele-ment origin are among the subjectsthat will be discussed. The purposeof the subject is to demonstrate theplace of Earth in the universe.

Scheduled visits, with the Instruc-tor, to the Harvard telescopes inCambridge and one visit to the Agas-siz Station will be made. Instrumentsat the Agassiz Station include a ra-dio telescope, 61" and 20" reflectors,a Schmidt camera, and several photo-graphic refractors.

The subject is open to Freshmen,as well as to other undergraduatesas an elective subject. No prerequi-sites are required.

Playing before another overflow crowd in Rockwell Cage Saturday night,the varsity basketeers edged an aggressive Coast Guard Academy Blue andWhite quintet, 80 to 79, in one overtime. Although the early part of the gamewas marred by sloppy play by the Beavers, the crowd got more than its shareof thrills from the consistent hustling by the visitors in the first half and afairy tale finish which left onlookers limp. Co-captain Dee Vergun got back intostride to lead the basketeers with 32 points, followed by Norm Howard, whoplayed center for the first time this season, with 18. Guard Elrie Allen led the

thought it was. Thereby hangs ourplay, with Vicki Cummings danglingprettily on the end of it, and Mr.

Levene pulling the strings. It has allthe right ingredients for anotherTime Out For Ginger, but somewherein the muddle of peanut vendors,pitchers from West Virginia, and

money-mad managers, the show getsall tied up in knots; what shouldhave ended in nine well-timed andamusing innings finally gets calledon account of darkness.

This is not a bad play; it has atightly written sclipt, some excellentsituations, and a warm and amusingpresentation. The moral, what thereis, is easily acceptable. The best for-mula for a good comedy is an exag-geration of real life, for we usually aremost willing to laugh at somethingwhich we ordinarily wouldn't recog-

nize in ourselves. But Hot Comner islike a half-hour television "situation

by Michael A. Hall '57"Sam made the prints too long."

The first act went fine. Looks likea good show. Some really clever writ-ing. The intermission talk coveredthe virtues'of the cast, the sets, thedirection, and comedies in general. . . particularly for dates: alwaysputs everyone in a good mood. It'srather too bad it didn't end there,leaving a nice taste in everybody'smouth; by the end of the evening, weagreed with Time's comment on SamGoldwyn's Guys and Dolls: "Sammade the prints too long."

In this case, "Sam" was Sam Levene,who exercises his quite considerableskill as both star and director of thisnewest pre-Broadway opening. Buteven with Sam (and just about every-one else, for that matter) doing theirabsolute most, the whole show leavesyou with that funny feeling: "Whydon't they try all over again?" Ithas all the gimmicks, but they justdon't make for a play.

Mr. Levene is God's gift to base-ball, Fred Stanley: the only managerin the history of the game to pick uphis third baseman and hit the um-pire over the head with him! A sortof reformed Leo Durocher, Stanley isin the process of working himself backup to the major leagues, from whichhe was "ejected" for slugging thepresident of a major league club; henow takes out his wtath by fillinghis pockets with walinuts, and crush-ing them on occasion. Offered a sec-ond chance at the Big Leagues if theminor league club he now managescan win first place, our hero does hisdarndest, and learns in the end, ofcourse, that the fame he wanted toregain isn't as important as he

My brother Eleanor's is bigger-more than four miieLin diameter-but, of course, he is taller than I.) the other dayas I was saying, while walking down the street picking up tinfoilI passed a campus and right beside it, a movie theatre whic}specialized in showing foreign films. "Hmmmm," I said to myself, "I wonder how come so many theatres which specialize i.tshowing foreign films are located near campuses?"

And the answer came right back to me: "Because foreig_films are full of culture, art, and esoterica, and where is cultur-more rife, arit more rampant, and esoterica more endemic thaton a campus? Nowhere, that's where!"

I hope that all of you have been taking advantage of thforeign film theatre near your campus. Here you will find n:simple-minded Hollywood products-full of treaty sentimenand machine made bravura. Here you will find life itself- lif-in all its grimness, its poverty, its nakled, raw passion!

[Have you, for instance, seen the reaent French import, LJardin de Ma Tante ("The Kneecap"), a savage and uncowrpromising story of a man named Claude Parfurn, whose corsuming ambition is to get a job as a meter reader with thParis water department? But he is unable, alas, to afford thflashlight one needs for this position. His wife, Bon-Bon, sellher hair to a wigmaker and buys him a flashlight. Then, alasClaude discovers that one also requires a leatherette bow tiUThis time his two young daughters, Caramel and Nougat, setheir hair to the wigmaker. So Claude has his leatherette bow-ti.-but now, alas, his flashlight battery is burned out and the wholfamily, alas, is bald.

Or have you seen the latest Italian masterpiece, La DonnaMobile ("I Ache All Over"), a heart shattering tale of a boy anhis dog? Malvolio, a Venetian lad of nine, loves his little dowith every fibre of his being. He has one great dream: to entethe dog in the annual dog show at the Doge's palace. But thaalas, requires an entrance fee, and Malvolio, alas, is pennilesHowever, he saves and scrimps and steals and finally gets enougtogether to enter the dog in the show. The dog, alas, comes itwenty-third. Malvolio sells him to a vivisectionist.

The two songs fromthe play which made the top amongthe pops are "Stranger in Paradise"and "Baubles, Bangles and Beads".The Caliph sings the former, andMiss Blythe the latter. The merit ofthe voices remains a matter of opin-ion, but they are certainly betterthan those of the Boston stage per-formance. Of course, if the orchestrahadn't played quite so loudly we mighthave heard the voices in the stageperformance. Amazingly enough, weheard Alfred Drake.

There is one feature of Kismet weshould not fail to mention: that isthe plot. There is none. The songsare good; the voices generally com-mendable. The scenery is strikingand the photography satisfactory.Even the direction leaves little tocomplain of. The plot, however, isnon-existent. It's kismet.

Kismet was last seen playing at theLoew's State Theatre in downtownSt. Louis, and is currently appearingin New York. It should get to Bos-ton one of these days.

For instance,a female lieutenant in the U S AirForce who hears reveille in her sleepat night, hides Scotch in her perfumebottles, and keeps her goldfish in alight globe might be classified sec-tion 8. The result of such a classifi-cation might even be an honorable(it must be honorable) dischargefrom the service.

Pi Lam capped first placehonors in league 2 by toppingBurton, 38-28. Silverstein of PiLam was high scorer with 17points. SAE was topped by Lam-da Chi, 47-34. SAE's Comparatascored 20 points.

In the first of the finals, inwhich first place teams played sec-ond place s q u a d s, Meteorologywhipped Burton, 53-27. Snyder's18 points earned him high honors.Theta Chi B's were toppled by theBetas, 58-34. The Betas' Goodnawwas the game's high scorer with19 points. Theta Chi A took PiLam with a final score of 56 to48. Kissner of Theta Chi washigh scorer with 17. SAE's 48points topped EG's 45. Comparatocopped high score honors for SAEwith 19 points. DU upset SigmaChi, 36-26. The victor's Larsonscored 18 points. In the last gameof the first round, the Delts for-feited to Grad House A.

Theta Chi's Linder made thefoul shot that decided the firstthird round contest. Theta Chi 54,the Betas, 53. Goodnow dropped 22points in for the Betas.

The end of the first round saw.Tech well ahead by a score of 6 to 3.Tech dropping only one point in eachweapon. Later, however, when all the.foil and sabre matches were complet-ed, Tech led only by one point withsix epee matches to go. Here the epeeteam proved its ability to give re-sults under pressure as they won allsix remaining matches.

The best performance of the meetwas turned in by Ed Bristol '57,Dave Strawson '57 and Irwin Dorras'56 of the epee team who lost onlyone of their nine bouts. Special creditgoes to Strawson who was unscoredupon. Tech's foilsmen, Henry Levine'56, Jerry Wieting '57 and Ben Ed-wards '57 picked up five out of ninepoints while in sabre Al Reis '56,Hal Miller '57 and Ray Wehrmeister'57 won four of their nine.

February 15th, Tech's fencing mas-ter Silvio Vitale takes the team toHarvard where it may have its tough-est meet of the year. Harvard, whoalso fenced Trinity this year, won by

L a 20 to 7 margin. That was Trinity'sfirst match of the year, however, andwas away from their home ground.Taking this into account makes theMIT-Harvard bout close to a toss-up, although Tech fencers hope fora more decisive final score than lastyear's 14 to 13 win.

By the end ofthis week first place should havebeen decided unless these teamsreally tie themselves up.

For the third consecutive meet theBeavelr swimming team dropped a 47-37 decision with the winners thistime, being The Coast Guard Acad-emy. The deciding event of the meetwas the final freestyle relay. Thisyear's team is solid in all strokesbut a lack of depth in the freestylehas weakened their relay team. Thiswas also the first time this year thatthe team has competed in a 20-yardpool.

Al Johnson '58 and Al Hortmann'58, backstroke twins, once again tookfirst and second in their event, John-son turning in an excellent 2:27.5.Murray Kohlman '58 took the 220-yard free and placed third in the 440-yard free. Fred White '56 and PaulCotter '57 took first and third respec-tively in the 200-yard breaststroke,White's time being 2:45.7. Will Veeck'58 finished second in both the 60-and 100-yard freestyles, Carter Smith'58 following him for third in the100. In the 120-yard individual med-ley Harry Duane '57 was clocked inthe exact same time as the winnerbut was awarded second place by thejudges. Johnson also placed third inthis event and Duane pulled downsecond place in the 440-yard freeas well. His time in the individualmedley broke the school record un-officially, since he must win the eventto make the record stand. Dave Bry-son '57 was narrowly edged in thediving, having 77.05 points to the win-ners' 77.15.

Last Saturday Tech's fencing teammet Trinity College at Hartford fortheir second match of the season. It.vas their second win, too, as Techtopped the Trinity fencers 17 to 10.Although the score was decisive thematch was not without its crucialpoints.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1956

Inability to win close m a t c h e s)roved disastrous as the varsity;quash team dropped its third andFourth matches of the year. Far,tronger than their record indicates,;he squashmen previously had drop-ped 5-4 decisions to Navy and Dart-mouth.

Dropping all three 3-2 matches, theracquetmen bowed 7-2 to Williams.Juan Hermosilla '57 dropped his firstgame in intercollegiate play, butdowned Stafford of Williams in thenumber one slot, 3-1. Hermosilla wonthe first game, 15-12; but Stzfford,a tall, powerful sharpshooter, startedto hit with his blasting corner shotsand troubled Hermosilla for a whilewith his cannonball service. Juan be-came accustomed to the serve and ranoff the third and fourth games. HowieCohen '57 at two faltered after win-ning the first two games to drop hisfirst match of the season. Walt Stahl'56 lost three close gafes; and pre-viously undefeated Tom' Thomas '57,tired from the long trip was "cold"and went down, 3-0. Al Hahn '56 atfour and Gene Vinson ,'56 at sevenlost 3-2 contests. Rene Mendes deLeon '56 at six and Dick Hough '58were trounced 3-0. Bill Bateman '57took a little over a game to warmup. Hitting the tin on over ten shotsin first game, he bowed 15-5. After

trailing 4-1 in the second he rallied,took the game 18-14 and ran oif thelast two for a 3-1 win.

Once again unable to win the closeones, the varsity bowed to Amherst,6-3.

Extended to 16-13 in the first game,Hermnosilla reached the peak of hisgame in the third. Utilizing the cor-ners to perfection, he turned his op-ponents best shots into winners andwon easily, 3-0. Hampered by his op-ponent who repeatedly forced letsby crowding and who delayed thematch for several minutes in thefourth game. Cohen at two bowedfor the second straight day, 3-2. Withthe match deadlocked at 2-all, Cohen,enjoying a slim 8-7 margin, movedtoward the left wall to hit an easydrive. Sandy Gadsby, his opponent,blocked his progress and then movedaway. When Cohen asked for a let,Gadsby refused to grant the obviouslet. Unnerved, Cohen fell apart andlost the game 15-9. Stahl dropped aclose 3-1 match. Thomas, playingafter the match was clinched, lost.Hahn won a tight one. Mendes deLeon dropped three deuce games, alapse in scorekeeping costing him onegamne. Vinson won but Bateman, offhis usual form bowed in four games.Hough bowed, 3-0.

MIT's wrestlers picked up theirfirlst victory of the season last Sat-urday as they pinned New YorkState Teachers of Albany. Losingonly one bout, the Engineers record-ed four falls and three decisions intheir best showing to date. Albanywas strong and well coached but in-experience was their principal weak-ness as no one won after the firstbout.

The Teachers started strong asHarvey, unbeaten for three years,came through in the third period topin Bob Boese '58. Harvey took Boesedown for two. Boese reversed andHarvey reversed again as time ranout in the first period. Boese stayedon top the entire second round. Inthe third period Harvey picked up apinning hold and finally leveled Boesewith two seconds remaining.

At 130 pounds Ray Ortler out-classed Albany's Buidren as he pick-ed up a takedown and stayed in con-trol for the entire match, picking upone predicament on the way. Wrest-ling easily and well Ortler never gavethe Teacher a chance as he broughthis record up to 22 for the year.

Pete Magyer '57 won his first boutof the year in a match that wentmuch the same way as Ortler's. Mag-yer pushed around State's Newmanfor most of the nine minutes to gaina victory and add three more pointsto the team's total.

Harris Hymnan '58 gave the Cardi-nal and Grey their first fall of theafternoon as he pinned Bosomworth,the Teacher's captain in 1:13 of thesecond period. Then Tech's captain,John Hirschi '56 wrestled an almostperfect match as he systematicallytook down and pinned the New York-ers' Leahey in 5:08.

In a match that appeared dull forthe scoreless first two periods, MikeBrenner '57 picked up nine points ina wild third round to whip Goldbergof Albany. There was no takedown

in the first period and Brenner stay-ed the advantage for all of the sec-ond. In the third period 3Brenner es-caped and took down Goldberg forthree points. With a terrific effort theState grappler escaped twice only tobe taken down both times in a wildflurry. Timre finally ran out withGoldberg on his back as Brennerwon his first match 9-2.

With enough points to win the meetalready in the Beavers side of thescoring column, the two heavyweightswasted no time in finishing the meet.Tony Vertin '57 took down Weaverbut was immediately reversed. WhenVertin recovered fron his surprisehe came back to press the Teacher'sshoulders to the mat in 1:41. KenJones wound up the afternoon witha spectacular ankle pickup and fol-lowed it up to pin his grunting, growl-ing opponent in 1:21 for the fastestfall of the afternoon.

This was the last meet of the termfor the Beavers and they next takeon BU on the home mats. The grap-plers should show improvement in thelater part of the season and could becontenders in the New Englands tobe held here in March.

Basketball(Continued from page 1)

and the score then remained even forthe first part of the half. With eightminutes to go, the Engineer quintetexecuted the play of the game on asemi-fast break situation, as Jordanbounced a pass to Patierno who hook-ed a pass from the top of the key into Vergun under the board for twopoints. After this play, the Beaversreopened their 5 point lead, 70 to 65,but Allen and Thornton got hot andclosed the gap until with a minute re-maining the former sank a jump togive the visitors a 75 to 74 lead. Ona crucial play of the game, the CoastGuardsmen stole the ball with 30 se-conds remaining, forcing Tech to foulto get a chance at the ball. ThorntoLwas the victim, and after bucketingthe first shot, he missed the second.Jordan took the rebound and passed:the length of the court to Benson, whoasank a lay up and tied the score, 76to 76. The clock ran out before thevisitors could score and the game wassent into overtime.

Vergun sank a hook after a minuteof play, but Coast Guard center HalFallon evened it with a jump and fol-lowed with one free throw. Jordansank the clinching hook with 2 min.-utes left, with both teams playingsloppy ball for the rest or time re-maining. The next game for the bas-keteers is with Northeastern awayWednesday night.

rolled around. Hubby gets called upfor a physical, and little wife jumpsto conclusions and signs up. Hubbyfails (Sincerest apologies for usingthat word this time of year) physi-cal, but little wife is still in the AirForce. Fun begins.

Tom Ewell has done his best withthe material at hand, but it takes alittle cooperation to put such a farceacross. Miss North has a figure ofacceptable proportions, but her per-fomance leaves much to be desired.

At times she manages to persuadethe audience that her part might becreditable, but usually it is ratherobvious that Miss North is playinga role. Unfortunately all the abilityin the world could not have over-come the looseness of the script, how-ever. Many of the lines are good,but the story needs a great deal moretightness for success. The result issomething that is probably betterthan what's playing next down thestreet.

"The Lieutenant Wore Skirts" isnow playing at the RKO Keith inBoston, but it won't stay long.

Kane, Getchell StarOn Thursday evening at Medfolrd,

The Tech yearling swimmers took themeasure of the Tufts Frosh for thethird successive year, in a one-sidedaffair, with the embryo Engineerscopping the large end of a 46-29count.

The festivities began with Tech'sMedley Relay three, Divine, Co-Cap-tain Lynn Jacobson and Bob Brookertaking this opener in the fine time of1:28.0. Next, in the 50 freestyle,Chuck Fitzgerald of Norfolk, Vir-ginia, camrne up with another sprintwin in 0:25.4, as Brosens of Techwas nosed out of a close third place.

In the Individual Medley, Co-Cap-tain Roger Kane gave his finest per-formance by walking away with thisgruelling event in 1:46.0, just four-tenths of a second off the Frosh rec-ord. Towle of Tech garnered thethird slot.

Dave Cahlender and Bob Fahren-bach of the Diving squad made thescore 24-8 by defeating Melligan ofthe Jumbos in their specialty takingfirst and second.

The 100 Freestyle was a dog fightright to the wire with scrapping EdGetchell drawing the judges' nod bya hair in 1:00.2, his slowest meettime of the young season.

Backstrokers Neil Divine and BillTowle widened the gap by grabbingfirst and third respectively againstTufts' Porter, and Bob Brooker addedthe clincher by hustling to a win inthe 200 Freestyle in 2:16.9.

John Hruza nailed down the Mer-rittmen's eighth straight first placein the 100-yard Breaststroke, to makethe score 46-22, as Tom Clark was dis-qualified for Tech, though behindHruza.

Coach Merritt cleaned his bench inthe final freestyle relay as Tuftsnotched their first win of the eve-ning, despite fine swimming by Wil-son, KossleT, Lattimer and Co-Cap-tain Jacobson.

Life Insurance PlanAids Seniors, School

Mlembers of the senior class arenow able to insure a large class giftat the twenty-ifth reunion as wellas make an investment in their ownfuture, by means of an insuranceplan offered by the Provident MutualLife- Insuranee Company in coopera-tion with the Institute. Under thisplan, the first several dividends areassigned to the Institute, and accu-mulate interest until the twenty-fifthreunion, when they become part ofthe class gift.

Under the present plan, it is pos-sible to take out either $5,000 or $10,-000 policies. Payments may be an-nually, semi-annually, or quarterly,and the policies mature at age 65.In the case of the $10,000 policy,the premiums for the first two years(for a student 21 years old) is $147.70,and $180.30 thereafter. The semi-annual payments during the first twoyears would be $76.10, and the quar-terly payments $38.80. The premi-ums for the $5,000 policy amount to$96.90 annually, $49.90 semi-annual-ly, or $25.45 quarterly.

Each senior vho is insured willcontribute some $700 to the classgift and still have a large net gain.when he reaches 65. For the $10,000policy, this amounts to nearly $3,900,or a total value of $11,760, and forthe $5,000 policy the net gain is closeto $910, and the total value over$5,150.

At the present time,' nearly a dozenmembers of the. Class of 1956 havesigned up for policies of this nature.This is equal to nearly half the num-ber of seniors who took out similarpolicies last year, and may foretellexceptionally high interest on thepart of this year's graduating class.

Arrangements for insurance poli-cies of this type are being made byMr. Stanley W. Turner of 30 StateStreet in Boston.
