BUCKLEY Buck graduated from Penn State with a B.S. degree and something most of us wish we had a few of—a publication. “The Separation of Cd and Cu by Precipitation.’’ He managed to keep more than busy enough by active membership in the Chemistry Club. Glee Club and I. M. A., as well as honorary Sigma Sigma Sigma. His amicability belying the time-honored aphorism of “red-hair—bad temper”—we know and will remember John for his “entente cordialc.” John’s trend is toward surgery at the present writing.

 Let all his delight and diligence be to wade in everie thing a little farther than other men.” —Caitiglio,,. W. THOMAS BURNS With an interest in sports befitting his physical capabilities. Tom enjoys many happy hours swimming, golfing, playing tennis and baseball. Yet his voice deludes one and lulls the unwary into rashness, for he speaks soothingly, convincingly of academic and philosophic subjects, and in a manner almost antithetical to that of an athlete. The happy combination of foresight and insight makes his talk worth listening to. Undergraduate work was completed at Buck-nell University, where he also played varsity tennis and soccer. His summers were actively and usefully spent as a life guard, bank clerk and scout camp counsellor. Tom recently left the thinning ranks of bachelors by marrying Marjorie Clayton, in April, 1944. Postwar, Tom intends to specialize in internal medicine, and we feel he will be in great demand. Best wishes! Internship — Temple University Hospital. T xccnty-six
