At the end of the last scholastic term
Russell Lynch, outfielder on the Tech
nicaI base ball nine, was awarded the
school letter, but without officia! recogni-
ton The 'T was not awarded along
with the others because of a minor mis-

will probably receive the letter along
with the foot ball players at the exercises
