Charles Myerson, Israel Jaffe and Steven Yando became vice-president, treasurer and secre- tary, respectively. During our lirst few weeks sojourn at Cooper, a serious crisis loomed before the Freshman class. The predicament developed as a result of historic Adolphis refusal to transport Freshmen in his his- toric elevator. Bernard Lerneris visit to Dr. Burdell's office resulted in success for us, much to the dismay of Adolph who would rather 'gelevatew the Art School girls. In one semester a student gets many impressions of teachers, but we feel sure that all will agree that Mr. Halsey surprised us most when he threatened to exterminate by means of a gun, the Coon Chile, B. Cohen. With the coming of spring the Freshman class seems to have become restless. Throughout the long winter months the slaving without ceasing seems to have left an impression upon the class. Already two sections have been punished for carrying it a bit too far. One of our belovered U1 teachers has suggested that we use this pent up energy to walk to the seventh floor instead of tor- Top Row: L. Mowell, H. Brenner, J. Stringham, J. Broderick, J. Bisen, E.

Rivas of the basketball team and Rossbach, the fencer. The expert prestidigitators ofthe class ap- pear from all outward appearances and observations to be Rossbach and Richter. From reliable sources it has been heard that Pecan, the exponent of the rampant eraser, can drop a piece of chalk into a luminaire from any angle while in any position. In section four we meet the causes of the sectional rivalry between sections one and four. How- ever, we must give them credit for producing many of the members of our intramural basketball and swimming teams among whom are Selman and Sicular. The giants of section four include Sam Smookler, Day Tech Editor of the Pioneer, and the Stanley of this division CZimmermanj, Pro- fessor Hope,s problem child. But, of course, we must not forget their mental genius, Soroka. It has been claimed that he worked the root of an equation to twenty-five places by Horner,s method, be- lieve it or not. The Freshman issue of the Pioneer was, we feel, the best issue of the term. The production of this issue was performed by an editorial staff consisting of Sam Smookler, Milt Minneman, By- ron Cohen, and Eugene Plassman. At the beginning of the term, Charles A. Erway was elected to the post of president of the Top Row: E. Herzkorn, A. Kuzmickey, H. Wells, A. Selman, H. Grad, J. Hinz, F. Diederich, C. Erway, R. Dahl, W. Lapple, I. Jaffe, H. Immerblum, S.

How- ever, most of us are inclined to think this is a bit too much ,to expect of anyone so we continue in our previous ways, under cover, let someone notice our leisure activities and add another hour of work. A Nevertheless, by laws of probability and averages it is found that there is a slight possibility of some of us composing the Sopho- more class next year. Surely this is a great inducement for there are more than three free periods for everyone. On registration day last September, a bedraggled group of Night Tech men assembled on their familiar battleground, Cooper Union, to enroll for the second round of their six round bout. When registration was over, friends of the previous year gathered together in small groups, renewing acquaintances and en- gaging in idle talk. Some tall tales were told by returning vaca-
