HUNT AND PECK SYSTEM GIVES WAY TO PROGRESS Take a letter, please. These are the worcls that many Tech girls - and boys, too, hope to be hearing after graduation when they take their places as part of today's busy commercial world.

SCCIAL STUDIES CCURSES WIDEN OUR HORIZONS HAROLD Vaughn, president of the U.N., finds that it is not as easy as some might think to conduct a meeting with eager young delegates anxious to express their opinions on vital questions brought before the assembly.

We accept our responsibility of maintaining the American way of life.
