The other class offices were won by John P. Bunker, treasurer; Richard B. Stedman, chorister; William C. Murphy, orator; Robert H. Coleman, odist; and Harry D. Feltenstein, poet.

Feltenstein succeeded Coles H. Phinizy, who led in the voting for poet, but who tendered his resignation late last night, on the grounds of "inability to write a good poem."
