As a result school officers will recommend that these boys, all of whom are prominently identified in either athletics or cadet activi- ties at “Tech,” be barred from rep- resenting the school in any future contests -under the anti-fraternity ruling of the Board of Kducation. in accordance With the board's regulations, it is sald, signed at the beginning of the school year a card stipulating that they were not members of v secret society not recognizef school authorities, and would not affiliate with any such organ- ization during their high school } career. Acgepting the boys' writ- ten promise, school officials per- mitted them to seek honors for the school in athletics and with the cadets. Everything went smoothly for the boys until a member of the “Tech” faculty, while “window shopping” downtown a few days ago, happened to catch a glimpse of the fraternity group in the photographer's window, and dis- covered seven faces strangely fa- miliar. An investigation followed, and the seven boys were called into the office of Principal Frank Daniel and questioned. Now the boys are faced with the penalty of losing their connections with all school activities throughout the re- mainder of their career in the Washington high schools.
