THE FRATECH FACULTY NOTES QCOnz'z'nucd from page 39D having received their degrees at the College of Engineering. The seniors wish them every suc- cess in their future undertakings. The Class of '32 has petitioned your corre- spondent of this page to convey to all the in- structors in senior subjects their best wishes for health and happiness. In addition to those teach- ers mentioned heretofore, the FRATECH hereby asks the following men to accept the felicitations of the Senior Class: Mr. Bradley, Mr. Pickwick, Mr. Perry, Mr. Eschenfelder, Mr. Metz, Mr. Price, Mr. Woodruff, Mr. Nims, and Mr. Rice. Mr. Cuthbert reports that he is still very much occupied with his old hobby, photography. Re- cently it was the good fortune of the writer to see some of the pictures taken by Mr. Cuthbert in the Essex County Park System, and while your cor- respondent is no authority on the subject, the photographs were certainly well worth looking at. In the fall we expect to have some news from this gentleman regarding his summer experiences with his camera. Mr. Spry is looking forward to visiting the old farm in Pennsylvania once more during the vaca- tion season. An invitation is extended to all Newark Tech men who may visit in the vicinity of Wayne County next summer to stop at the old farm and say hello to Mr. Spry. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Three teams have been organized during the past year. They are the Class of '33, the Archi- tects of '34, and the Class of '36, The Class of '36 was the most active and also the most suc- cessful, scoring five victories and having no de- feats. The first game was played between '33 and '36. The Class of '36 won by a score of 19 to 5. Kordys and Zebrick starred for the winners. In the second game '36 defeated '34 by two points. The score was 17 to 15. Korbal and Mc- Laughlin starred for '36, and Goldfaden and Kol- ster for '34. This was the best game of the sea- son, and was about tie to the final whistle. Corbo sunk the two winning fouls in the last five sec- onds of the game. The last one went in just as the final whistle blew. It was a fitting climax to such an exciting game. The third game was an easy victory for '36. Winning by the score of 32 to 18, from the Class of '33. '36 got an early lead and increased it as the game went on. Benn and Heinzinger were the high scorer for '36 and Kuzsma for '33. In the final interclass game '36 was victorious over '34, the score was 25 to 16. The game was very interesting, but finally the teamwork of '36 proved superior to the long shots of '34, Corbo and Zebrick starred for '36, Kolster was the best player of the '34 team. The Class of '36 also played the faculty team, defeating them by a score of 29 to 5. Zagorniak was the leading scorer for '36. STUDENT OF CONCENTRATION Irate Parent-Didn't I see you kiss my daugh- ter, sir? Nervy Youth-How should I know? Do you think I'd be gawking around when I was doing a thing like that ?-Boston Transcript. A young lady was on a sight-seeing tour in Detroit recently. Going out Jefferson Avenue on a sight-seeing bus, the driver was calling out places of interest. Driver-On the right we have the Dodge Home. Lady-John Dodge? Driver-No, Horace Dodge. Continuing out Jefferson. Driver-On the right we have the Ford Home. Lady-Henry Ford? Driver-No, Edsel Ford. Still farther out Jefferson. Driver-On the left we have Christ Church. At this point an interested passenger tapped the lady on the shoulder saying: Go ahead Lady, you can't be wrong all the time. Patron-May I have some stationery? Hotel Clerk Chaughtilyj-Are you a guest of the house? Patron--Hell, no. I am paying twenty dollars a day. Mr. Frederickson, can you tell us what elec- tricity is? Mr. Frederickson squirmed in his seat, hemmed and hawed for a time, and finally admitted: I did know, professor, but I've forgotten. The professor gazed at the student with an ex- pression of unspeakable sorrow. Then he said sadly: Mr, Frederickson, you do not know what you have done. Alas! what a sad loss to science! You are the only man that ever lived who has known what electricity is-and you have forgotten. HE WASN'T A MONKEY An absentminded man was strap-hanging in a tram car. He swayed to and fro and finally the conductor said to him, Can I help you, sir? Yes, said the man, Hold onto this strap while I get my fare out. Forty-three

Mr. King, Presi- dent of the Senior Class, assisted us in getting organized. At this meeting the above officers were elected and Mr. Spry was selected for Class Adviser. Several meetings were spent in going over the rules and by-laws of the class. Credit for the work done on this committee should be given to: Marlowe, Chairman: Konopka, Sinke- witz, Tullo and Murray. Copies are available to all class members at any meeting. At our meeting on March 18, plans were dis- cussed for two summer outings. The first one to be a picnic in June at either Greenwood or Swartswood Lakes. A committee composed of Murray, Benn, Heinzinger, Vermette, and Ze- brick are arranging the details for this affair. Mr. Spry invited us up to his farm in Pennsylvania some time during the latter part of August. The following men Owning cars have signified their co-operation in regards to transporting those who care to make Mr. Spry a visit: Tullo, Socco, Drosback. Heinzinger, Vermette, Kemps, Zag- orniak and Zebrick. Further information regard- ing these two inexpensive but joyful outings may be had by attending the meeting on Friday, April 8, 1932. Murray has been looking high and low for those prosperous enough to pay their dues. He says, They may dodge me but l'll get 'em yet. V. Stanis has been extremely ill for the last month with inflammatory rheumatism. We all miss him and hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. Spry has been nominated and elected unani- mously by our class as a prince of good fellows. He has helped us both in getting organized as a class and in coaching our class team. We wish to thank him for his work in the past and hope he will continue to stay with us. 1 arty-Iwo the fifty-seven varieties. Heinzinger, Marlowe, Incontrera, and Tullo are the only men who have attended every meet- ing with the exception of the officers.

THE FRATECH f AMERICAN- NEWARK TECHNICAL SCHOOL TASSOCIATION , STUDENT CLUB E,,5,?,Qg,,S I AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ENGINEERS ' 1 CHARTERED 1922 1 ORGANIZATION for approximately 1,500,000 acres of land. Engi- Since the dawn of civilization. people have banded together. At first for protection from beasts and the elements. Later connnon interests and ideals taught them to unite. Now, society has become so highly organized that the needs and interests of the individual can only be at- tained through the concerted efforts of the class or profession of which he is a part. The American Association of Engineers is the Engineers' Organization-the engineer's oppor- tunity to sell himself and his profession to the public. lts activities can be strengthened and broadened if every engineer interested in his own welfare will assist the work by becoming a mem- ber. The American Association of Engineers en- larges the engineer's horizon beyond the narrow technical limits of his profession, develops friend- ship, offers opportunity for leadership, and brings the profession to the notice of the public. Co-operate and Advance are the watchwords upon which the Association was founded. Its members know that the most effective and en- during contributions to individual welfare are to be attained through co-operative efforts for the advancement of the profession as a whole. COLUMBIA RIVER DAM PROPOSED A bill was recently introduced into the Senate by Senators jones and Dill of Washington for construction of a dam across the Columbia river which would be comparable only to the Hoover Dam and Boulder Canyon project which it would exceed in size and cost. Although not as high as the Hoover Dam, the Couler Dam would be the largest of its kind in the world. The dam would be 4,300 feet long, 500 feet high and would require 10,000,000 yards of concrete. The cost was estimated at about S400,000,000. Seven times as much water would be handled as at the Hoover Dam and a lake 150 miles long would be formed. The lake would form an im- portant link in the inland waterways along the Columbia river and would also store 5,000,000 acre feet of water which would furnish irrigation lfnrly-four neers estimate that electricity totaling 4,000,000 horsepower could be developed at the Grand Couler site the sale of which would pay for the dam in fifty years. NEW HIGH VOLTAGE MACHINE In conducting many experiments physicists often have need of tremendous voltages. The great problem has been to store up stupendous amounts of electricity which could be sent crash- ing through stout tubes. If power were great enough physicists are sure they could propel heavy protons as well as light electrons at ele- ments, shatter the toughest of substances. Recently, Dr. Robert J. van de Graff, research associate at M. I. T. built a machine for S90 which was able to produce 1,500,000 volts. Dr. Graff is now working on a machine which will handle 15,000,000 volts. On the bottom will be two sets of railroad tracks 14 feet apart. On each track will be a four-wheel truck. On each of the two trucks will be a heavy iron casting, on which will stand an insulated paper cylinder 6 feet in diameter, 28 feet high. Inside each cylinder and at its bot- tom will be an electric motor. At the top of each cylinder will be a polished hollow aluminum ball 15 feet in diameter, weighing 2,600 lbs. From pulley wheels within each ball to the motor be- low stretch belts going 120 m.p.h. The swiftly moving belts are to pick up static electricity, de- posit it on the spheres negative on one sphere, positive on the other. By such simple means, Dr. van de Graff ex- pects to build up a negative potential of 7,500,000 volts on one sphere and a positive potential of 7 ,- 500,000 volts on the other. When the loaded spheres are trucked along the tracks to within 15 feet of each other the resistance of the inter- vening air to their enormous store of electricity breaks down: 7,500,000 volts crash against 7,- 500,000. But, when the machine is working it will not be permitted to waste its strength. Its crash will occur within a huge X-ray tube which will extend 15 feet from sphere to sphere.
