A margin of 23 votes, compiled over a two-day polling period, elected Andrew W. Welch, Jr. '41, of Leverett House and West Roxbury, to the office of Permanent Class Secretary, according to figures tabulated last night. Welch was followed by David B. Arnold, Jr., who gathered 56 votes.

Y., Palmer Osborn of Winthrop House and Hastings, Mich., and John P. Kennedy, of Eliot House and Charlotte, N. C. Runners-up were Richard Sorlein, Thomas Holoyke, and Thomas S. Kuhn.
