Smith was insti- tuted as president of the local Eagles almost 48 years ago, 37 men have held the distinction of heading the organization.

Y. He planned to return to the campus the following year. In stead, he embarked on one of the hardest and most heart breaking fights of a young per son's life. He began a losing battle to save his eyesight. This fall, 21-year-old Tony: finally was back at Niagara as a sopohmore. With him is his constant companion, a seeing eye dog named Boots. Things are quite different from Tony's freshman year. In stead of pen and notebook, he carries a Braille stylus to class. His books are put on records for him by the American Founda tion for the Blind in New York City. But his ambitions are un changed.

A visit to his former class mates at Niagara last spring re newed his desire to attend col lege. So, after a visit to Seeing Eye Guide, Inc., at Morristown, N. J., where he acquired Boots. Tony is picking up the last pieces of the life he thought was ruined when he went blind. He admits he's a trifle afraid of returning to the world of classrooms and exams.
