O. Henry Award Won by Buechler, H.U.P. Gets Prize

"Pepicelli" by James Buechler '55, a short story published in the May issue of the "Advocate" last year, has been awarded the second place in the O. Henry Prize Contest.

The $200 prize-winning story will be published along with 15 others by Doubleday in its thirty-sixth annual volume of O. Henry Prize Stories.

Buechler, who was president of the "Advocate" for six months last year, studied under Archibald MacLeish, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory,, and Albert J. Guerard, professor of English, and is currently traveling in Europe.

His work was called "astonishingly fine" by publishers Paul Engle and Hansford Martin.
