for Ernest Forte (Sandy) Sandi-
son, who was tapped for
membership in Omicron Delta
Kappa at the annual senior
awards assembly of Washing
ton College on April %. Men

chisen for high standards of
leadership attained in the fol-
lowing fields: scholarship, ath-
letics, student government, So

meaningful this year since only
