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-

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.

Mike Aissen and 'Tlashi' Gordon were runners-up in the tall tales contest with their stories of adventure in the Palisades where Mike was saved from starvation by the discovery of a raw potato. On the following Monday, the class year was oflicially begun, and the class of '44 was plunged into a new series of difficulties, of which Physics Lab was the foremost. We had scarcely finished congratulating ourselves upon no longer having to spend weekends on drawing plates, when the deluge camel . . . That first Physics Lab report-Red ink, blue crayon, green crayon, red crayon, slashed through the pages. L'Why, How, When, Where, Vague, Define, Ex- plain, NOI, and Please Report met our eyes. We began to realize, with each succeeding report, how little we knew about Physics, and how much we were expected to know.
