match. Added to these lettermen were two Freshmen, Bob Fuleihan and Bob Scott. The latter showed up well in practice and earned the Number Two position on the team. Vero Ajello, the agile left-hander was the Number One man, and he and Scott went through the season with only one set- back. The first match was played in New York City, amid the rumbling trolleys and noisy ells, against N.Y.U. School of Commerce. We lost that one by a close score. However, for the next few matches we hit our stride and volleyed and smashed our way to a couple of well-earned Victories. The highlight of the season was the south- ern trip during which they engaged Franklin and Marshall College and Lebanon Valley. Chaperoned by Professor Alfonso Reyna, the boys left on Thursday morning and arrived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for their match with Franklin and Marshall at 2:00 P.M. The match was hotly contested and Upsala almost ruined F and Mls long unbeaten streak. However, the team lost, 5-4. It was a heartbreaker to lose. After an interesting stay on the campus of Franklin and Mar- shall College, the team left for Annville, Pennsylvania to play Lebanon Valley. This also turned out to be an even match; only this time Upsala came out on top, 5-4. Later on in the season, such teams as Drew University, Newark University, St. Peter,s College, Webb Naval Academy, Stevens Tech and Rider were played.

The traditional encounter with the alumni turned out to be the usual comical affair with the old grads of fading ability fighting tooth and nail against the well-conditioned varsity.

Olson t0 the post of treasurer of the institution. This was a great honor. However, Mr. Olson soon found out to his dismay that all he could flnd in the purse 0f the college was the bottom. With indomitable spirit, the new treasurer tackled the financial problem and liked it. Now, that the bottom of the purse is no longer Visible, Mr. Olson is convinced that the work which he acquired with the title was greater than any honor that went along with it. But as he has said many times, it was well worth the effort to see Upsala grow from Kenilworth propor- tions to its present ones.

All the girls and some of the faculty wives attended. Mrs. Lawson, Miss Eldora Lawson, and the feminine class oiiicers graced the re- ceiving line. In an adjoining room, the table was at- tractively set with roses, candles, dainty sandwiches and cookies.
