Richard was a member of the Forum, Tau Delta Sigma, and the Science Club of which he was secretary. On the athletic field he participated in track to the extent of winning his letter. On the stage he was seen in Admir- able Crichton and the Class Day Play. The fact that he was President of the Student Council during his senior year shows that he had won to an un- usual degree the respect of the student body. As president of the council, he accomplished much of real value. E 30 SYLVIA PUTNAM has the true spirit of leadership.

Hgh .Enom at Tech HE Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal, which is awarded semi-annually with the purpose of perpetuating Mr. Warner's great interest in young people, is the highest honor that.Tech can give. Each semester a committee consisting of two alumni, four faculty members, two representatives each from the 12A and 12B classes, and the president of the I IA class choose from the graduating seniors the boy and the girl who, in'their estimation, have been out- standing in scholarship, character, and leadership. Unlike most hon- ors, this is a recognition not only of scholarship, but of service to the school. Frequently, this coveted honor is most difficult to award. Certainly, it is a splendid living memorial to Charles F. Warner, the beloved founder of this school. The Three-Year Honors, an old tradition at Tech, are given to those students who have done excellent work in all of their subjects during their high school course. To achieve this honor, however, the student must be not only of high scholastic standing, but also an example of the Tech spirit as it is embodied in good school citizenship. These honors are based on the office records together with the vote of the faculty on the merit of the individual. V5 7,1 .fe ea, E291 I
