College Plaque Awarded
April 1933

The Dartmouth Plaque, awarded each year by the College to that secondary school whose delegation of three or more men in the freshman class has secured the best scholastic record for the first semester, has been won by the Cleveland Heights High School of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Charles Alan Aaron, Robert Malin Prentice, and Charles Emmett Richards Jr. of this school have obtained the extraordinary first semester average of 3-33, a rating substantially above a B average.

This record is evidence of the success of the new "Junior Selections" plan of admission, inasmuch as all three of these men were selected for admission to Dartmouth more than a year in advance, under the new plan recently inaugurated by Dartmouth and taken up by other colleges.

Seven other schools who were mentioned for the outstanding records of their delegations of three or more men during the first semester, with averages of the schools' graduates in the freshman class, are as follows: Oak Park & River Forest Township High School, Oak Park, 111.—3.10; Bronxville High School, Bronxville, N. Y.—2.85; University School, Cleveland, 0hi0—2.78; Walnut Hills High School, Cincinnati, 0hi0—2.76; Leonia High School, Leonia, N. J.—2.72; Polytechnic Preparatory Country Day School, Brooklyn, N. Y.—2.71; Central High School, Manchester, N. H.— 2.70.
