Senator Guggenheim sent set of
the Congressional records of the last
congress to the high school congress.
The records comprise 9 volumes, bound
in sheep, and weighing about 100 pounds.
They were sent by mail and came all

bag carrying government frank. The
boys are very grateful to the senator
for his thoughtfulness in this matter,
particularly so, as the books sent are
invaluable for the work they are under
taking.
