introducing a ttmivmuggg If you should ever walk through the fifth floor on Tuesday you would hear weird sounds emanating from the Ch.E's sweatshop, namely the Quant Lab. Here the embryo Chemical Engineers are at work. Whereas most of our time last year was spent in looking for things we knew werenit there, this year our chief endeavor is to discover how much of it we have. Unfortunately guesses can no longer be relied upon this year since the law of Probability is too much against us. The only road to glory here is hard work, and that is what the 2nd year Ch.E,s are really doing, that is, when we're not busy breaking crucibles or beakers, or swapping stories in

Yet there was a lighter side to our work, as well, found in the lectures :-Professor Ball's ever-interesting experiments kept the class open-eyed from beginning to end. In Chemistry lecture, the genial personality of Professor Hope earned for him the liking of the entire class. As evidence of this, they presented him with a large red apple. His obvious pleasure at this gift called for an encore, so in the following lecture he was presented with a bushel-basket full of apples. Unfortunately, no photograph exists of this historic inci- dent so that the expression on Professor Hopefs face is forever lost to posterity. Another well-liked instructor was Professor Jeffrey. His aptly termed Fellow Studentsf' participated actively in discussions of social relationships. One of the highlights of these discussions was Ostriker,s dissertation on whether or not fish know how to swim, in which he proved that they did not. In recognition of Professor Jeffreyis efforts, the class of 744 presented him with a hand of bananas fnumbering some IOOJ. This occasion, unlike the previous one, was recorded by a candid camera fan. In addition to scholastic activities, many of us succeeded in finding time for recreation. Ice skating parties were very popular. Some of the more ardent followers of this sport included Herby Gradler fwho showed up with a new girl every timej, Walter Gar- rison, George Garoufis, Tore Anderson fand his sisterj, Lennie Prosbitsky, Manny Kaufman, John Anderson, Walter Barron, John Galinski, Gregory Banikiotes and George Hepp. Top Row: M.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Prof. C. S. Sherman Prof. Henry B. Hope Prof. A. H. Radasch Raymond J. Kunz the balance room about last Saturday night, as Ed Fitzgerald, Gordon, Bud Medon, and Bob Atkins so often do. Charles Merz should have become a salesman instead of an engineer for he can sell you anything from a rubber apron to a chemical handbook if you listen to him long enough. Miller and Harris are the Fuels and Combustion experts so much in de- mand in all the other engineering sections. One of the favorite pastimes of the Soph students still is a good old fashioned board eraser fight. Schmitt, Feldon, and Klamkin take a particular pleasure in partaking in these little feuds. There is just one thing which still gives the 2nd Ch.E.,s trouble, and that is this matter of Ending the end-point. Every once in a while a group of students may be seen hunting for Dr. Hope to ask him if theyive reached the end-point yet.
