Freshmen Select Ten Committee Members For Stag Smoker and Jubilee in Spring

MAHONEY, SAXTON, ATHERTON LEAD FIELD OF THIRTY-SEVEN YARDLINGS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Eight hundred and fifty Freshmen went to the polls yesterday during lunch and dinner hours and elected the ten men who will comprise the nuclei of the 1944 Smoker and Jubilee Committees.

The members of the Union Committee will meet tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock with Eugene D. Keith '42, Council Representative for Freshman Affairs, and Douglas Mercer '40, assistant secretary of the Union, to appoint the chairmen of the two Committees and add eight or nine additional members. Three other Yardlings will be added later by each of the chairmen.

After being split into two committees, the members will immediately assume duties. The Smoker Committee will line up entertainers for the annual all-Freshman stag affair, while the Jubilee Committee takes charge of the formal dance held late in May.

Edward H. Mahoney of Farlow House, Andover School, and West Newton, received 260 votes, the highest polled by any candidate, while George Saxton of Holworthy Hall, George School, and Short Hills, New Jersey, chairman of the Union Committee, was runner-up with 246 ballots.
