Buhl, commanding officer of the Naval Training Station. "We felt rather useless holding purely social meetings, however, which resulted in our decision to do work for the Red Cross."

The local Red Cross chapter supplies the material for the projects. The student council sponsors them by furnishing the English room as a meeting place.

Two went off the bow, two under the ship, and two astern, and all missed the convoy which was being protected.

Study Letter Writing For Proficiency Exam Prof. Virtue Warns
Approximately 75 students have registered to take the examinations when the last check was made at 2:30 this afternoon. Only those students who present registration cards are allowed to take the tests which last nearly three hours, although many students finish in less time. This number is about normal, according to officials in the College office, and consists mostly of juniors, with several seniors signed up, however.
The inclusion of a business letter in the group of three pieces of writing required is new, stated Professor Virtue, and may cause some of the students a little trouble. The other two topics will be selected by the student from two lists of subjects as usual.
