After Christmas, though, the fraternity elections thin down the ranks of the Shelf freshmen who room on High and Wall and the other streets in and about Shelf tovn. Among the Eastern Connecticut men who are back for the year are Dickson Hammond I.eavens of Norwich and James T. HillhOuse of WIllimantic in the graduate school, Philip A Johnson of Norwich EmmOns E.
