COTTERMAN Flint, Michigan Buick Motor Industrial Engineering [ 26 ] J. C. Chynoweth, known to everyone as Chuck , had the distinction of being the first President of the G.M. Tech Club. It was through officiating at these meet- ings that he became well known to all fellow students. ‘'Chuck'' will soon com- plete his first year of marriage. Like all Gamma Mu Tau house managers, Bob Close finally bought a new car his last month in school. Probably his most outstanding feat was four years’ resist- ance to the wiles of Flint's women. Bob is a typical methods and standards man. ing Lloyd George Conn allow one likes to have ual acceptance of pletely at ease in 3 he shies from riendship to everyone, he is d to those he likes. pady, easy gr if the sort of Ralph is a local boy who really made good. He attended Flint Junior College before coming to Tech, where brilliance in his studies has kept him up towards the top of his class consistently. Ralph was married a few months before school ended. Trademarked by prominent sideburns, Chuck'' was the modern counterpart of that ancient sportsman Sir Isaac Walton. An expert in either stream or field, he rarely returned empty handed. Here at the Institute he was also an independent softball star.

ENERAL A suave product of Colorado, Cain per- sonifies the chivalry of the old West. A gentleman to the core, he is thorough and faithful in all he does—especially in attendance to his activities. Most outstanding, perhaps, was his loyalty to the Tech Club. Gordy has been one of the really active independents at Tech. Notable for his quiet MC-ing at Tech Club dinners, he will be remembered as the man behind the athletic crib window, where he has worked for the past several years. Scotty came to Tech with advanced credits from Henry Ford Trade and Ap- prentice School. During the past year, he handled the finances of the GM Tech Club. His wee bit o' Scotch and touch of blarney helped his sporting ventures a t his fraternity—the White Elephant. Vern Casson has disproved the old theory of contact men that athletics, extra-cur- ricular activities, and fraternity life pre- vent the reaping of ©. P.'s. Vern, a good scholar and an active athlete, re- ceived several medallion awards, and culminated his fraternity interests in the presidency of Phi Sigma Phi. One of Phi Kaps best dressed bers, Carson's social and athletic activities during his stay at Tech were numerous and varying. Hugh was keenly interested in hockey, a game he learned in his na- tive Canada, and part of his time was spent playing with the Flint Indians Hoc- key Team. MOTORS ROBERT L.

ENER AL Whether making spread eagle turns, racing at breakneck speed, screeching around turns, grinding to a stop, or gracefully dancing around the roller rink with his partner, Bill is right at home. His mastery of the two-step, schottishe, and collegiate has made him a popular man in both Flint and Dayton rinks. Wilbur makes his instructors work for every grade point they ever give him. His persuasive talk and genial personality plus his ability as a worker combine to make him the good organizer that he has proved himself to be in the Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity. Whether it was Tech or something else, Clarence's outlook on women was changed during his four years here. His great love for skating may have had something to do with it. The Duke has attained scholastic recognition in the ATI honorary fraternity and has been ac- tive in publications. Dunc's skating exhibitions, one foot in mid-air, are unsurpassed, and beautiful to watch. Speeding forward or back- ward, his smooth coordination and adept- ness at intricate steps have often amazed the Tech boys at Amateur nights. He can really spin a mean skate wheel in any man's language. Andy's remarkable scholastic rd is one specific reason why the Phi Sigma Phi fraternity was awarded the Scholas- ‘tic Plaque. Graduation from William and Mary College, where he was a mem- ber of the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society, paved the way for his admission to ie Alpha Tau lota fraternity here at Tech.
