Ambrose P. Spencer, Black and Gold adviser, said, "I wish to
congratulate the staff on raising the percentage of the Black and
Gold from 85.5 to 88.5."
Six hundred and forty-four papers were in competition. These were

The Black and Gold will receive an attractive certificate of award, suitable for framing, in recognition of its achievement.
Robert Clements, editor-in-chief, said, "Since the issues entered were published by last semester's staff, this achievement ought to give the present members an incentive to keep the all-American rating at Heights."
The National Scholastic Press Association Critical Service is the oldest and has always been the largest of all so-called newspaper contests.
