Friday, June 7, was the occasion of
a delightful banquet given by the
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in honor
of DR.. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee of
Washington, D. c., Grand Basileus of
the Sorority, and DR.. Mary c. Wright,
Regional Director of the North Allan

The banquet, held in the private
dining room at the Colonial Kitchen,
was the scene of much gaiety, with the
attractive surroundings and tables
bright with spring flowers forming a
charming background for the beauti-
full gowns of the "Sorors."
Dr. Wright, we'll known in Greater
Boston for her civic contributions,
brought greetings from the Regional
Convention held in Baltimore during
May. DR.. Ferebee, distinguished
physician, gave the main address. She
was introduced by Soror Lucy Mitchell,
Basileus of Psi Omega Chapter, who
compared the graciousness, the tire
less energy, and the great civic activity
of the Grand Basileus to that of an
other outstanding woman, the First
Lady of the Land. DR.. Ferebee in
spired her audience with recital of
how the Sorority has grown from an
organization almost purely social in
its activity to an institution of great
national strength in which serious

umphed over Paul Junior of Maine at
the Boston Garden, Rev. Luther M.
Fuller, pastor of Peoples Church,
Chelsea, was the first to greet him in
his dressing room and congratulate
him. From that meeting, says Rev.
Fuller, strong friendship between
them began. Armstrong told his new
friend that he had a deep urge to
become a clergyman and invited him
to come to his rooming place at 223
W. Springfield Street, Boston, to talk
the matter over and also to pose for
some photographs. Rev. Fuller tells

Recalling that $4,000 men volun-

Selective service officials pointed
to the comparatively numerous in

pie, special military police had to
be called out Tuesday to handle a
crowd of 700 young men seeking

A typical inquiry came from a
young Idaho lawyer who wanted to
put his military service behind him
in order that he might take up
legal practice without fear OF being

he, or any other man from IS to

attractive to young men Of Is, 10

some $500 local and a smaller num-
Der Of appeal boards would be paid,

be very small"
All expenses which state organ
