The first, held Tuesday morn— ing, Sept. 18, consisted of an ad— dress of welcome by Dr. H. M. Ray- mond. At that time Dr. Raymond, in: explaining to them that out of over 700 applicants only 273 were admit- ted, told the freshmen that they would be expected to set a record worthy of such a select group. Deans Penn and Palmer then gave talks ex— plaining various phases of activity such as athletics, music and publica- tion, calling their attention to the organizations which each one repre— sents. A confidential chat by Dean Palmer explaining various phases of the sys- tem at Armour and a request by Pro- fessor Leigh for the Frosh to join the school musical organizations were featured at the second assembly for freshmen held Friday afternoon. The method of checking the stu~ dents’ attendance at classes was espe— cially stressed by the dean. He called attention to the parking spaces which should be used for all student autos. That there should be no smoking on the front steps of the main building was pointed out. Moderate silence while in the library was requested, and he further explained the method of drawing books from open and closed shelves and the fines for keep— ing books for a longer period than the allotted time. The Freshmen were requested to bring certificates of vaccination to be presented to the Medical Adviser at the time of their physical examinations. Professor Leigh explained that there were various vacancies in the band, orchestra, Glee Club, and the Stress and Strain Club. He stated that participation in school activi- ties formed a valuable part of the students’ training. Two New hindering that in flrnnd haul.

With brakes set, and transmission in gear, a small coupe fieels its way down a long mountain road in the Alleghenies. falling. A drizzle of rain is The pavement is treacher— ously slick. In the car can be seen the tense faces of three young lads. The driver is intently watching the movements of a large sedan coming toward him down a hill just oppo- site. The road between them dips low, inscribing a long, threatening curve, and gleams from althin coat- ing of slimy mountain clay. Both cars near the bottom of the dip. The sedan shifts gears to gather momentum for the long climb ahead. The same instant its wheels begin skidding, its driver loses control, the car turns through a quadrant, and then sends its huge nose plowing at right angles into the side of the coupe. The latter, having already been driven to the very edge of the road to avoid the smash, is now thrown over against a heavy fence- post, and righting itself on the re‘ bound, leaves two of its occupants stranded in the ditch. The skidding sedan, after com- pletely demolishing the coupe, con- tinues on its rampage, turns two more circles, and then exhaustedly ends up in the ditch on the other side of the road. blow for a hasty inventory. The three lads in the coupe have only slight bruises. Of the occupants of the sedan, which contained four wo- men and two men, the wife of the driver has a severe gash in her head, caused by the impact of a flying'van- ity case. Four stitches are required to set it right. The others have only minor bruises and scratches. All this happened last August 30, at Grantsville, Maryland. And now here’s the miraculous part of it.

It was found to be damaged to the extent of $600.00. Its owner then took the three lads to a second-hand lot, and bought them a coupe of identical make and model as their former. Furthermore, he paid all doctor’s bills, as well as two days’ hotel bills at Cumberland. Fin— ally, to further the newly made friendship, be entertained the lads for a day at his home in Grafton, West Virginia, about 150 miles from the scene of the accident. And who were the fortunate lads, you ask? The driver, and owner of the coupe was William A. Dean, jun- ior Civil at Armour Tech. The sec- ond was Charles Mitchell, a freshman Mechanical. The third was Elmer Stonehouse, a junior at the Tildeu Technical High School of this city. These three were headed home from a seventeen day, 3300 mile tour of the eastern states and Canada.
