Thoughts of spring and summer vacations go hand in hand: but now is a good time to take ac- count of stock of the past eight months at New- ark Tech. What did you do as a member of the Class of '34 to further its progress as a class? Here is a brief resume of what some men have done: The first meeting of the class was held during the first month of school and as is the usual pro- cedure nomination of officers took place. At the second meeting, held approximately one month later, officers were elected. The class also de- cided ffinallyj on a class motto, and the cut which was to be used at the top of its page in the FRATECH. From that point on it appeared as though the depression on meeting attendance fthat's part of the general depression, tooj hit hardest at this poor struggling class of ours. At the third meeting, which was to be held shortly before Christmas vacation, the astonishing num- ber of seven members attended. Since this did not constitute a quorum and a meeting could not be called, the small group began to discuss possi- bilities of stirring up some interest in future meet- ings. The most plausible suggestion was ad- vanced by a Mechanical man. The gist of it is as follows: I f we considered the large number of men in the class, and the different sections I Mechanical, Civil, etc.Q, it would be evident that there could hardly be very much contact between the men of one section and those of another. Therefore, cer- tain men could be chosen to act as Sectional lead- ers and hold meetings of their individual groups some time before the regular meeting. The main purpose would be, to impress upon the men, the necessity of attending regular meetings. By do- ing this successfully, the men of the various groups Forty DR. XVA'l'lERS would gradually become acquainted and thus some sort of a unit formed. At the same time the group meetings would give the men a chance to make suggestions which could be discussed and then presented as motions at the regular meeting. This would tend to curtail unnecessary discus- sion at the regular meetings and consequently con- siderable time saved. The suggestion outlined briefly above has been followed by the Mechanical group and so far has worked out very satisfactory. We believe that it can be used to good advantage and would like to take the liberty of suggesting that other classes try it. In closing, let us go into our classes on examina- tion nights with the determination to make a clean sweep of everything and come back next term and really make something out of this class of ours. The Class of '34 extends their congratulations to the graduating seniors and wishes them all a happy and successful life. G. M. CHENOWETH. SHORT SHOTS Mancuso wanted to put in a clean joke about Bridge but he couldn't think of one. Imagine! Tsk! Tsk! Chenoweth put the nameplate on a completed drawing upside down. A week later he received a permanent excuse from this subject. I wonder why? Kard-Don't argue with me. You don't know how tough I am. Whitehill-Pooh, you're not so tough. Kard-O yeah. Well, let me tell you that when I was in the circus, a Zebra kicked me one day, and received such a shock that his stripes turned to dots.

Spring is coming on, it can be seen in the eyes of the students. and in the number of vacant seats. It will soon be all over, and we'll have live months to forget what we learned. XYe would like to take this opportunity to write. that the Class of 1935, appreciates the effort made by the proctors in teaching us the principles, which leads to good engineering. ln view of the fact that we will be the Senior Class of next year. it seems that every effort should be put forward for a better class organiza- tion while Juniors in order that the basis of our graduation year's organization will be more secure. The function of our school is to produce better graduates and better engineers. Likewise, the function of our organization is to create better school spirit, to bring the fellows together and get them to know each other. The attendance at the meetings held in the past has not TJCCII as large as it should have been. des- pite the many important and interesting problems which confront the class organization. The ma- jority of members apparently do not realize the importance of attending the meetings where the good and welfare of the class are discussed. Basketball has taken quite a hold on the stu- dents this year. The number of candidates that have turned out for practice has been exceptional- ly large. A few games have been played with the Class of '36, meeting with great enthusiasm. Although no victory had been scored to date, wait and see the boys get warmed up. They will burn up the court. On Sunday. February 22, a group of the class went to the Madison Square Garden in New York. They witnessed a hockey game between the Rangers and Americans, the game was very interesting and closely fought. After the game the fellows went to Gertner's Restaurant, on Broadway. A good steak feed was served and for unknown reasons the dinner was very good. JUNIOR PROM A GREAT SUCCESS The Junior Prom was held at the Hotel Riviera on Saturday evening, March 26th. The orchestra under the leadership of Halsey Miller lived up to its reputation for first-class music. Dancing was scheduled from 8:30 P. M. until l A. M., but as the hour for the strains of Home Sweet Home approached, every one appeared to be enjoying himself so much, that members of the committee made arrangements to have danc- ing continued until 2 A. M. Punch was served by one of the waiters of the Hotel and he was kept busy all evening. The essentials of a successful dance are. good music, good dance Hoor, and a good crowd-the Prom had all of these, with an attendance of more than one hundred couples. The invited guests included several members of the Senior Class. The faculty was represented by Professor Metzenheim, Mr. Pfeil, and Mr. Kiernan, who attended with their ladies and had an enjoyable evening. The committee consisted of J. Robertson, J. R. Xifatson and lf. R. Gaitsch. who, with the assistance and co-operation of the class president, Mr. Kelly, and members of the class, made this the success that it was.

THE FRATECH I CLASS or 193 jl President ............... Vice-President ...... Treasurer ........... Secretary ........,. Class Adviser .............. AU REVOIR, '32 The Class of '35 takes this opportunity to con- gratulate the members of the graduating class, Class of '32. Four years of consistently patient hard work on your part is now bearing fruit. No doubt the way has been very tedious and hard but, by no means tiresome. No doubt a large part of your subjects must have appeared dry until you discovered to your own satisfaction, the romance of engineering. Other studies, other professions. may have appeared more romantic, more glamorous and may have seemed to be lo- cated higher up on the horizon of life's work. This is only due to the large amount of romantic material, both written and verbal, available for your consideration at all times and at all places. Has it ever occurred to you that this is only pos- sible because of the handiwork of your varied engineering professors? Miracles are now comparatively common-place and the public now accepts a heretofore incred- ible feat with a mere acknowledgment of the engineer's ability without due regard to the struggle that men, such as you men are, have gone through to accomplish such astounding works. You are now on the threhold of life's greatest, most romantic, and glamorous adventure. Rom- ance? Lots of it. Witness the romantic appeal in structural work when the human spider spins his network of steel in the air using steel ropes for threads, gigantic cranes for arms and his good engineering training supplanting the instinct of the insect. Romance in the tunneling of the earth that she may yield some of her wealth of minerals or to make passageways for transpor- tation facilities. Steel jaw, steel arms, steel mus- cles, metal brains and electrical nerves and blood! Romance! Yours not to behold aghast, but yours to master, yours to control! We are sorry to lose you as fellow students, but genuinely thrilled to know that you are graduat- ing and are going out to make good. We are ........Willia1n Schoenthaler Roy Gordon john Shallcross ........-lack Schreiner Marshall looking forward to your future accomplishments with great anticipation of a grand success on your part because you are equipped with a well built. solid foundation of knowledge and co-ordinated facts together with your demonstrated ability as proven by your success here. We will miss your presence, but the memories of your pleasant as- sociations will become enrichened and endeared to us as time moves on. So, once again, congratu- lations and so-long, but not good-bye and carry the best wishes of our class with you wherever you go. CLASS NOTES The Class of '35 meets regularly now, the first Tuesday of the month in Room l8a. A consti- tution has been prepared by the committee, sub- mitted to the student body three times as they were directed to proceed and it has been unani- mously adopted. Due to the press of studies there have not been many outside class affairs. The entertainment committee is very enthusiastic and successful. They are to be complimented on the way they have handled all the affairs they scheduled and planned for the class. December 29, 1931, a theater party and dinner was held by the class. The show was at the Shubert and the dinner had justice performed on it over at Toni's, on Green Street, Newark. Favors, singing, good meal, and show, made the stag affair a great success. A summer affair is expected to be presented to the class, for its approval, by the committee at the next meeting. According to advance inform- ation it looks as if it will be a stag outing to some point on the Jersey shore. As the complete de- tails have to be thrashed out at the next meeting of the class it is impossible to give exact details, but it will suffice to say here that all class mem- bers will be notified. 33 Miranda, whas sat light shinin' in you' eyes?
