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.

NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-ONE WILLIAM S. EGY East Syracuse, N. Y. Brown-Lipe-Chapin Industrial Engineering BASIL W. FARLEY Walled Lake, Michigan Pontiac Motor Service Engineering ROBERT E. FARMS Pontiac, Michigan General Motors Truck Product Engineering WILLIAM FAULKNER LaGrange, Illinois Electro-Motive Product Engineering OMAR O. 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.

NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-ONE FRANCIS B. HALL East Syracuse, New York Brown-Lipe-Chapin Industrial Engineering ARTHUR M. HANSEN Flint, Michigan Buick Motor Industrial Engineering ROBERT E. HARRIS Flint, Michigan A. C. Spark Plug Industrial Engineering ROBERT P. HARTUPEE Rochester, New York Rochester Products Industrial Engineering CEORGE EEA HARD Flint, Michigan Fisher Body Flint Product Engineering [ 30 ] Possibly the one phrase that best char- acterizes Fran Hall is Mr. Cowing's favo- rite remark: ''The individual must conform to the group regardless.'' The readiness which Fran has shown in fol lowing this wise advice has been responsible for his election to Vice President both of his fraternity and of the Interfraternity Council. Arthur is interested in almost anything and everything. To enumerate all of the sports in which he participated would be like reading the current yearly athletic calendar. When he isn't being an ath- lete, you'll find him out trekking through the woods with shootin’ iron and shells. A man of nimble wit and deep character, Bob earned his place as one of Gamma Mu's counselors. For four years he tu- tored others in the more difficult points of mechanics, electricity and heat treat. His words in meetings, though not fre- quently given, were carefully weighed by others. Hatchard, recently married to an ex- tremely attractive girl, is best known for his everyday practicality. His general all around deftness with tools aided him materially through those first two years of Mackinism, but it is rumored he has never been able to bring that deftness to the golf course.
