Many a cold day we will remember Bob Joehnk coming to school with that old Sea Captain's hat propped upon his noggin. He still insists that he found it hanging on an old rusty nail. To finish up the course we drained the treasury and had a big blow out banquet at the Woodruff Hotel. Our President Tex Shirley, gave a quite elaborate speech giving special recognition to those boys who were leaving us at this time. We are still wondering how Warren Fitch did all those card tricks. All we can remember is that there were too many fours of hearts in the deck. George Triple Drip Drainoh Yonkersuand Lau' ren One Punch Taylor both left us and joined the Army and Air Corps respectively. Good luck fel' lows. ' Page Nine w ' f wr1aiF '4ifgg vzenemunlrgiai

O sooner had our Christmas vacation experif ences rolled off our tongues, when Art An' derson started 1942 off with a bang. With the help of his two side kicks, Carlyle and Lee, we ran smack dab into Chemistry, Washroom Procedures and Textiles. We were happy though to have eight new students join our group of wits and half wits. That quite subtle fellow from Seattle, Washington, remarked: ls this really.Washroom? It sounds like ...i to me. Only a week had passed when Tex Shirley's edf ucational program went into effect--via phonograph records and transcriptions. The boys from Marion Street asked the entire class to their house one night, so that we might beneit from theiexperiences of Mrs, Lapidesf' After the well known records there were games for all. Bingo for the meek and mild- poker and dice for the brave and foolish. Rusty'i Jacobs displayed his mastery over the Alabama Marbles that night, just ask the boys who wanted to be brave. Our Sudsmen basketball team came into prom' inence this term, as they captured the Wednesday night league at the Y -commonly known as Pur' ity Hall . Maybe our team didn't have such a good eye for that hoop, but we can say one thing for them -their attendance was perfect. One night in par' ticular, only four men from our team showed up but luckily enough the opposing team only had three men show up. Results: we won on another forfeit. Eddie Mayer, our Athletic Director, deserves the credit of running the team although he had quite a time trying to see the players on the side line with out his foureyes. The following members of the class constituted the team: Warren U, B. Fitch, Brent High Pokets Farber, Abe Lapides, Mold Liebowitz, Bob Joehnk, Jake Jacobsen, Irish Ja' cobs, Bill Drewes, and Leroy Grif Griffin, ably as' sisted by Hjumpen Jive-Short Boulevard Long' street, our cheerleader. The SZ Ranch, having changed management, was the site for our class party. After a very fine dinner we had a Strictly Speaking southern speech from our VicefPresident Eugene 'LHeuy Long Lyons directed toward the love affairs of our Secretary' Treasurer Jack Henckels. Lee Longstreet's date, Nicky , took over from there. It can be assured that everyone enjoyed her talents. Andy Bowden and his laboratory partner, Tex Shirley, while trying to titrate a sample of alkali, ran into some difficulty one day. Some Rum Dum doc' tored their caustic soda with quite a large dose of acetic acid. Too bad boys, that's one day you didn't manage to finish first. A We were- very sorry that Jack Henckels missed part of this course, but a serious throat ailment, that California type, stuck with him. Hard to shake off, but in spite of his weakened condition was able to Hnish the course. , Page Eight

The old students we lost at the end of the last course were in part made up by new arrivals in the form of Ed. Stacer and Bob Bertenshaw. Bob, inf cidentally came to us in the guise of an old man but left frollicking like a young colt. The harsh effect of association, I suppose. ' Our sales instructor, Mrs. Grady, to whom we have proudly dedicated this annual, did not hesitate long in introducing the class to the problems of creaf tive selling and sales control. Intermingled among our lectures on this problem were sales talks and demonstrations by the students, movies depicting the virtue of Mr, Sale , and frequent visits to the class by Rusty Jacobs. We constantly wondered whether the latter was a legitimate registrant or just a steady, guest. ' The afternoon periods were devoted to advertis' ing layout and copyrighting under the skillful direcf tion of Messrs. Nutley and Sheldon. The advertis' ing campaigns prepared by the class were praised as the best done in the school to date. However, Nutf ley and Sheldon were somewhat distressed, but nevf ertheless, complimented, when Jake Jacobsen inf sisted that there was little sense in straining to pref pare a campaign when one had at his disposal the work completely provided' by the Institute's dis' tinguished advertising department. Jake carried through with his conviction and filled his campaign with Institute material. Q Mrs. Grady, to a questionable extent, proved that women are not always disarmed by compliments. But if she had not been on guard Brent Farber would certainly have taken her by storm. It's like some' one once said, the fellows in the back of the class' room work for their grades, t-hose in front work for the teacher. Among the other memorable events of this course must be placed the defeated effort of Boslow, jacob, and Leibowitz to reach New York in Boslow's paper' thin tires. Other events included Fogg's recitation on the Wonders of the telephone , the appointment of McCarthy as bundle boy , and the frustrated attempt to use psychology on 'badfboy Joehnk by electing him SergeantfatfArms. He must have taken his election as the class's approval of his classroomanf Page 'lvvn
