In addition to mentioning the awards made to individuals at the Honors Convocation, we wish to give credit to two organizations which proved themselves worthy of great praise. The Latin Service Bureau of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor has requested several pictures of the Legio Decima at their Roman banquet for their files. These pictures and the program presented on November 8 will be used in the Latin department of the Library Extension Service. At the Exhibit of Productive Work at Grand Rapids, Michigan, March 6, 7, and 8, the mem- bers of the Buchanan Apprentice Club were awarded three awards out of ten: Donald Snider, a second year apprentice won first prize in the State Exhibit. He designed a gage and submitted a drawing and blueprint. fContinued on Page Fifty-Sevenj xlrty-Two
