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.

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

Having survived the ordeals of the second year, we shall now delve further into the intricacies of Chemical Engineering as 3rd year Ch.E.,s. As the section is not too large, greater intimacy and cooperation than otherwise is possible among its members. If there is anything outstanding about us, then it is the fairly even division of ability in the section. This is quite frankly recognized by us and probably is a factor mak- ing for greater friendship. However, the class is fortunate enough in that many of its meni- bers are pretty good in specific subjects and so are able to contribute to those whose ability lies in some other topics. VVe have learned how important and eH'ective mutual assistance can be and believe that this is an important lesson to take along with us. Now that only one more year of work separates us from graduation fwe hopej, we look back upon three tough years and can hardly believe that the same fellows who, three years ago on a hot day of August went through the entrance exam, may graduate a year from now. As yet we have not passed the final hurdles, but we are still going strong, and before we know it, we,ll be there. The third year Ch.E. class consisted of the following members: Top Row: J. Friedman, H. Bouma, J. Rothmayer, G. Ferrigni, P. Horsting, R. Costa. Middle Row: E. Quinn, F. Schaefer, M. Slutsky, E. Von Storch, I. Machlin, H. Ruopp. Bottom Row: F. Quattlander, l. Rappaport, D.
