FICKEISSEN St. Louis, Missouri Fisher Body St. Louis Industrial Engineering [ 28 ] Advanced credits from Syracuse Univer- sity made work here easy for Bill, wise- cracking, unkempt redhead, star mono- logist at four successive Amateur Nights. Even easier was his path to leadership, made smooth by an off-hand kind of de- pendability that led him to numerous Re- flector posts ond made him White Ele- phant pledgemaster. Farley, good naturedly referred to as the man of a million smiles’, is a jovial, homespun sort of a fellow with a gift of gab and a willingness to use it. His likeable personality and his ability to fit into any group should be conducive to a successful career at Pontiac Motor Division. athletics and school erious consequence . He has been recognized hip in the A.T.|. and is a uni- versally dependable fellow. Entering with advance credits from Wayne University, Faulkner, who worked for several years with Mr. Giel, could always be relied upon to be depend- able in everything he did. His thor- oughness and determination in his work should prove to be valuable in his chosen field. Omar's tactful and dexterous salesman- ship has served him well in his capacity of Vice-President of the White Elephant fraternity. His interest and ability in campus activities have earned him mem- bership in the Robot society. Climax to his career came this year, when he was elected Publications Chairman in Sec- tion D.

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.

ENERAL Slick, scintillating, blades of quivering steel—thrusting, parrying—adva ncing, re- treating—with an occasional ''touche''— the muffled shuffle of busy feet, the sym- phonic gracefulness of superbly coordi- nated muscles working in perfect har- mony with each other, this is Greg. When relaxing from fencing, he can be found swimming or riding. Dick's decorous attitude belies his ability to rise in wrath at the Gamma Mu house when the occasion demands it. Backed by a genius grown sharp on the quick solution of the toughest of Trathen's problems, his arguments sweep all others away with sheer logic and reasoning. Joe's red hair and nimble feet, plus a Scotch accent, have earned him an en- viable reputation as a dancer deluxe and a typical ladies’ man. But he is just as popular at the Gamma Mu house, where his ready wit and rich baritone add a frequent light note to the atmosphere. Ev's progressive, dynamic personality is expressed in his eternal, precipitous rush- ing about the campus in an attempt to take care of his multitude of interests. A list of his activities sounds like a resume of the GMTE extra-curricular functions. On his own time, he relaxes amid the solitude of the skies. Robert, with his keen, approach to any problem, ha name for himself as a clever analy record in classes and around school shows him to be a careful, smart, likeable scholar. Indeed, his manner is highly suggestive of the typical research worker. do) MOTORS GREGORY FLYNN, JR. Detroit, Michigan Research Laboratories Product Engineering RICHARD S.
