Her Royal Highness followed this with a brittle laugh.* To Edinburgh this week traveled the Duke of York to be installed as Grand Master Mason of Scotland...
With a strong nucleus of juniors to build on and several promising sophomores from last year's team, Coach Harold S. Ulen is moulding a powerful swimming team down in the pool at the Indoor Athletic Building.
