ship of the club was of-
fered to 37 of the outstand-

athletes on the Lamar
Tech campus. The group
represents a cross sec-
tion of all athletic teams
that Tech fields, and a
group of specially select-

ors who in some way con-
tribute to the sports
powess of Lamar.
Under the supervision of
Dr. Hilley, president A1

who will enter in the
future.

the club selected a Candi-
da te for Homecoming
Queen, Liz Benton, and

took over the responsi-

absence of all 'letters’ of
other schools worn about
the campus, reported A1
Chandler.
