It would be appreciated if these results were turned in as soon as possible so our staff may get an early start on the lists and still enjoy the holiday weekend. To give credit where credit is due, we would also request that all- students receiving first class honours be marked on the ,copy as such.' consolation tourney for golfers put out in the first round will be arranged.
