From these ballots the five fencers receiving the most votes are chosen as the semi-finalists. From the five top candidates, the coaches at the meet choose the Fencer of the Year.
El'Shafy was ranked 14th in the epee division of the tournament. The fencers who finish in the first six positions in the competition are named All-Americans.

1. Counting your riches?
That'a a laugh.
2. How so?
3. I thought you were loaded.
I have exactly a dollar thirty-two and three pages of green stamps.
The way I figure it,I can hardly afford to wake up tomorrow morning.
4. Call your dad. He always comes through.
Not since he found out about that pair of elephant tusks I bought for $198.50.
5. Didn't you tell him tusks were in?²
He told me I'd have to demonstrate a more sensible attitude toward money before he'd shell out anything above the subsistence level.
6. That's no problem. Next time you get some dough, get yourself a Living Insurance policy from Equitable. It's one of the most sensible things you can do with your money. It guarantees security for your family, builds cash values you can always use, and by getting it now, when you're young, you pay less.
I'll do it! But don't tell dad about my new stuffed alligator.
