MICHAEL DeWITT GODFREY Ricketts, Honor Key 3 Mike has been one of the busier lads in the class. He started out by being Co-Social Chairman of Ricketts. After getting married he served as ASCIT Secretary, and President, Ski Club President and Chairman of the Inter-College Council. All of this was accomplished while working helf time and helping pin diapers on little Godfrey. Mike plans to do graduate work at the London School of Econ- omics. DALE GREEN Throop Dale was one of the boys to come to Tech on the 3-2 plan and finish with Honor standing. He trans- ferred here ofter winning everything at PCC. A real live guy, Dale was o constant companion to Throop loungers. His activities included tennis, golf, ham radio, railroading and photography. He be- longed to the Student Shop, Band, Christian Fellow- ship and was an officer in IRE. Future plans in- clude seeing the world, grad school, and work lin order of enjoyment givenl. Engineering WAYNE GROESBECK Throop, Tau Bsta' Pi Wayne was one of Throops stalwarts when it came to interhouse football and basketball. A wife and two children kept him from becoming more in- volved in campus life than he was. However, he still managed Honor standing and election to TBPI, Wayne plays and coaches off-campus basket- ball and works part time. Future plans are to work in Southern Calif, H. KENNETH HOPKINS Fleming ln his early days at Tech, Ken rode a motorcycle, wore a black leather jacket and sunglasses, and combed his hair toward the rear, and everybody thought he was a hood. As a matter of fact, they were right. Despite this, Ken has proven himself a very useful member of his house through extensive participation in interhouse athletics of all sorts. In his spare time, he has been a member of the IRE and has built cr sports car in his back yard, which he claims will be outdated by the time he finishes it, Next year he will take business ad- ministration at Cal, try to avoid the draft, and, if all fails, buy a boat and sail around the world.

ROBERT E. CHANDO5 Off Campus Bob, although not a house member, was still quite active at Tech. He belonged to SAE, IRE, and the Radio Club, His hobbies coincided with these activ- ites since they include music, sound and amateur radio. Plans are for an M.S. at Tech and maybe more later. Work must combine music and E.E. BigTP29'l5s'l7.38on10 ' PHILLIP CLAR Off Campus Phil, who married after his frash year naturally had off-campus interests, These now include a baby, Tamara, On campus he belonged to IRE. Hobbies include astronomy, radio, and desert ex- ploration. The future says grad school in micro- waves. JIM CRIBBS Ricketts Jirn's ever ebullient disposition has earned him several distinctions in campus life. From his lofty position as ASCIT Head Yell leader, he has pur- sued his natural interests in surfing, skiing, volley- ball, and heckling with a vengeance seldom here- tofore seen, Although never one to let loyalty to his option stand in his way, Jim will actually go ta work as an M.E. His enthusiasm for house affairs will be sorely missed around MilIikan's Pot in the years to come, and some doubt that even time will suffice to eradicate certain indellible impres- sions he has made on house tradition. RONALD Fonsess Ricketts, Ta, TBP The Nyssa Flash came here to become a snake and he almost made it but people started asking him to do things like turning out for track and run- ning for class offices. With his usual flair for doing things the right way he won three letters in track, served on the B.O.C. and was elected Senior Class President. ln his spare time Ron is designing the most complicated radio-controlled boat in the world. After at least one year in E.E. grad school he plans to work for some lucky elec- tranics company. Pretty good for a fellow from a town with only one street light. Elecuti cal

TY JACOBSON Blacke-r Probably one of the most familiar sights in Blocker house is o fellow with a hooded sweat shirt adorned with meter and earphones who has been known to slip out of walls and ceilings without notice. lf this happens to you there is no reason to get excited for Ty has iust installed hi-fi into BME. As well as commanding the attic Ty is a working member of the Institutors, student shop, radio club, physics club, drama club, and played JV soccer for three years. This practicing electrical engineer has an eye on grad school. DENNIS KULI Dabney, T3 Dennis come to Tech from the home of the Antelope Valley Fair and Alfalfa Festival, and we have found that the country boy can make good in the Big City. Kuli has won almost every honor that his fellow students can bestow. It all started when he came to CIT on scholarship and ioined the Physics option. He later became fascinated by the marvels of EE, and his fellows, realizing his in- telligence, elected him President of Dabney and the IHC, Denny did an excellent iob though bur- dened by duties as a three year letterman on the baseball team, a member of the Beavers. and a few remaining tasks as Big T business manager. Kuli may go to grad school, but it is likely that some electronics company will lure him away from the academic. If any woman succeeds in capturing him, we are sure that both his wife and his child- ren will be very proud of him, as we are. J. MICHAEL JENKINS Dabney Mike has been involved with a redheaded demon for the past three years so we haven't seen too much of him around Dabney, He proved a valuable asset to the house when he took the time to help us, He was o cheerleader during his iunior year, participated in Interhouse sports and was named Comptroller of Dabney during his Senior year. Mike plans to marry Harriett Hughes, a very in- teresting girl, this summer and then keep right on working for Pacific Telephone until he makes his million. lt shouldn't take long. JOE JURCA Dabney Mighty Joe Jurca has led a very active life at Caltech, He was a Dabney athletic manager anal an Upper Class Committeeman. Besides being athletic- ally endowed an scholastically able, Joe was also socially active. At most of the Party-Parties Joe was the spirit of the party whether he had come with or without a date. Joe plans to attend Grad School at Stanford before venturing into the ln- dustrial field, where his drive, enthusiasm and talent should make him very successful. Electrical
