Sergeant of Arms IOSEPH GAVIN-A.E. 127 Duncan Avenue, jersey City, N. j. The Port of New York Authority, New York City CIVIL Sergeant-at-Arms '36 '37g Senior Dance Committee. Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. joseph Gavin started his existence in this world on May 18, 1911, twenty-six years ago. He was born in jersey City, N. j,, and has resided there all his life. Both his elementary and secondary educations were received in jersey City schools. He began his schooling in St. Aloysius Academy and four years later transferred to Public School No. 17. In 1926 he entered Lincoln High School and was graduated in 1930. After graduation he entered the Evening Engi- neering Division of New York University to pursue a course in Aeronautical Engineering. ln 1931 he secured a position in the Engineer- ing Department of the Port of New York Au- thority as a tracer. A year later he discontinued his sudies at N. Y. U. as his interests had changed to Civil Engineering. Thus in 1933 he entered the Newark Technical School to secure the educa- tion necessary for the realization of this ambition. Since his matriculation at N. T. S. he has gone into the construction phase of engineering. He has gained experience in Line and Grade work and is at present engaged as inspector in the Midtown Hudson Tunnel. Although it is impossible for him to enter New- ark College of Engineering in the fall, he sincerely hopes that he will be able to do so in 1938. Student Council Representative TH EO.
