I., captain of the football team; George Owen Jr. '23, of Newton, captain of the hockey team; and Arthur Edmund McLeish Jr. '23, of Fort Benton, Montana, captain of the basketball team, have been chosen undergraduate members of the Athletic Committee for next year...

If she is ever out of a job, she should have no trouble in getting work with Potash and Perlmutter after her first cheerful "Helloy...
