PIN-BALL, CLASSICAL MUSIC, WELLESLEY WILL ATTRACT '46

If the results of the Senior Album Poll of the Class of 1942 can be taken as any criterion, the members of the Class of 1946 can safely bet their Commencement John Harvard '46 will come from Jenkintown, Pa., have gone to public high school, have got on group IV with four hours of work per day, listened chiefly to classical music, loved pin-ball and betting, and chosen Wellesley as top women's college.

These were the salient facts in the life of the average Senior, according to the Harvard Poll appearing in the latest Senior Album.

The Poll announces the astounding fact that the intellectual center of the United States has moved from Boston to a point near Cleveland. This is indicated by the geographical breakdown of the Dean's List, which shows that three-fourths of the students west of the Alleghenies had a B average. And these areas showed large percentages from supposedly inferior public high schools.

Other incidental facts: "Dean's List men, it appears, like classical music far less than the class as a whole, and lead all other groups in attendance at the Old Howard and in steady drinking."

Asked to jot down a few characteristics the term "meatball" brings to mind, some of the Seniors replied: "A red-headed fatso in a green double-breasted suit leading a conga line at Eliot House . . . guy who walks a round Symphony Hall at intermission with a simpish grin . . . the people who made up this questionnaire."

"Do you prefer to date college girls? working girls? debutantes?" brought these answers among others. "When they go out with me, they're all working girls . . . How do you classify Yale undergraduates?"
