Leo Francis Daley of Andover was elected First Marshal of the Senior class yesterday by a large majority. Clement Duane Coady of West Newton, and John Randolph Burke, of Milton, were chosen Second and Third Marshals respectively.

The total number of ballots cast, 519 was much larger than last year. The vote represents a large majority of the 700 students in the class of 1927. Only five ballots were thrown out, as compared with 51 in last year's elections.
