RALPH SMITH CROSKEY. IR. The Mad Russian Entered: 1937 CORNELL Soccer H, '38, '39 Track H, '38, '39 Polemics '38, Sec. '39 They tell me I first caused trouble for my parents in the city of brotherly love, on March 24, 1921, to be exact. I remember little, however, until we moved to Villa Nova and I was sent to kindergarten at Radnor. For ten years I was exposed to the feeble educational efforts of our public school system. Two years ago I came to Haverford, where without my consent- aye, even against my will-I have been learnt During these years I have enjoyed all forms of athletics, especially soccer, track, and tennis. I expect to follow my father's footsteps and become a law- yer when I am graduated from Cornell. iii EDITOR'S NOTE: The Mad Russian ought to be a good lawyer, he certainly can argue. 29 39

Things looked a bit dark at first, but since then l have struck up many sound acquaintances. I plan to take up Petroleum Engineering at Cornell. The last three years in Haverford have Watched the rise of one of the closest and most inseparable organizations I know of- The Secret Six. Our title is a bit forbidding. It's a pity Cfor us, anywayl that we are not all entering the same college. Possibly we shall strike some friendships equally as strong in the future. But this will be hard to do. tif EDITORS NOTE: The activities of the Secret Six are as forbidding as the title. Z? 28

'37, '38, '39 Radio Club Pres. '36 Glee Club '35, '36, '37, Librarian '38, '39 Index '39 I first saw the light of day in our own metropolis of Phila- delphia. However, I am considered a Vermonter and, as such, have been raised as an advocate of the Republican cause. After spending about nine years playing in public schools, I was told that Haverford was the place for people who want to do everything but school-work. Haverford changed all that, and now I have discovered that work is a necessary evil. As I have chosen Worcester Tech. as my future alma mater, I am glad that Haverford has shown me the way to work. A few outside interests take up most of my spare time. Be- sides photography I have keen interest in radio, model-rail- roading, and the ancient sport of Falconry. I also lend my support to various choirs. I stay until asked to leave, the other singers just can't stand it. Many masters will remember me for the trouble they have had with me. Thanks to their patience and self-control, I feel that Worcester holds no terrors for me. The Stevens men say I will make a good engineer. I hope they are right.
