ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT OF SOPHOMORE CLASS Frank P. Murtha Honcred by Class
 mates at Trinity.

Another honor was added to those already irlnumerabie ones that the Norwich boys have won at Trinity college, Hartford. when Frank P. Mur- tha was elected vice president of the sophomore class.
 Murtha is one of the most popular men at Trinity. He played a bang up" game at right end on the Trinity football team the past fall, and was one of the nine men awarded the cev- eted "T." He has also been promi- nent in other athletic activities since his coming to the "hill"
 But even 1T Murtha had never taken part in single sport, he still would have the esteem that he now holds. His srnile-one of those that won't come off-is one of the institutions on the Trinity campus. And the men al the Hartford college are fearful o1 but one thing-that Murtha will be recalled to service in the naval re- serve and the Blue and Gold will be deprived of his cheerful philosophy.
