Conch Pritch· nrd ahnuld I.Je proud of this honor be~towed upon him and Tech men can be t·qunlly proud that he is their conch. The story of Tech's first undefeated c:a un since 1938 bas been lold many time.~ Our first po twar win ovu Wet.· ltyon, holding scoreless a powerful C'oa\t Gu:mf team, and trouncing highly rt•~r.~rded Norwich are highlights or a hrillinnt se3$0n. Not to be forgotten is thnt theq: 'lliere the same pbyers wbo managed only t'lli'O wins in the previous Ka'I.On and 11 ound up said season by tnkmg a 43·12 hilling at Norwich.

X-RAY DAY WAS SUCCESS The che'll x-mys held on December 6 "'rrc: a lremc:ndotb success. A total of f1IJO had their Chtsl$ Nayed. Of that numher 180 are on the faculty or bu!\i· 11e $laff or lhe 5ehool. The M.S. De· tJ:lrtmtnl de~rves ll great dent or credit fur thr rme response. It was de~ired lo have all ~tullcn ts x-raycd, but lhis would hrLVt: l~ecn almosl impossible. The moat expedient ~olu lion wns to have all RO'I (' 8tudenb x-rayed because their Orl(tlnizallonul command could renrh lhll j!rcnl e5l number. Of rtll the M.S. slu· clcnt~, only Lwelve failed lo appear at their sdtc:dulcd time. The Southern Worcester County H e.1llh A~soc:ialion , wh.icb sc:t up the mobile x· rny unil, said they expected to rr\•rnl their findings soon after vacation. A new policy to be inaugurated will be lo have all freshmen x·nyed upon their ent ranee lo the 1115litule. In lhis manner Jl .,..ill be po~~ble to reach all ~tudc:nts.
