Although it is commonly supposed that the typical college student enters as a freshman and emerges from the same college with a diploma four years later, actually today most students transfer or drop out before commencement day. Only one-third receive degrees...
...more pleased over the victory than Coach Jack Barnaby, for this is his first season as varsity coach. To him goes no small amount of credit for the win; his enthusiasm, ability and interest in every member of the squad was a vital factor in the constant improvement of the team...
