Foremost among these, we will long remember the immortal words of one classmate, who, while attempting to illus- trate the meaning of Potted Thinking fChapter 6 in Stebbing- Dear Old Stebbingwj came out with the concoction, '4Beryllium for Better Bridges. However, even this failed to awaken the five lVl.E. students who sit in with us-these men serving merely to help fill up the otherwise unoccupied rear of the room. One thing definitely missing this year is the production of explosive gas mixtures fHe pronounces it gezzl by one of our diminutive members. This cook-book chemist was good for at least one catastrophe per week in preceding years. Long will we remember his part in spilling a bottle of Sodium Peroxide down the sink-with such violent results that pieces of glass were found over by the Hewitt Building. lt is stuff such as this that makes life the uncertain thing it is. Here it is, the third year, and all those nice young men who thought that they had been admitted to the Cooper Union are beginning to wonder if they do not belong to the Cuckoo Union.

Pelt Van Brower-our swing enthusiast who uses his little sister's bicycle since his car broke down. George Everson-who showed his bravery when faced with an emergency by using the fire extin- guisher to put out a fire in the Organic Lab. P.S. He nearly missed. Hortley Fields-who is the custodian of our cherished football, William Keary-also known as Bill the Killer. His activities while playing football on our campus seriously re- duced the number of healthy seniors for next year. But Bill helped his victims to pass Organic Chemistry which he certainly knows. Fred Kohler-also known as Einstein Kohler, whose theories even get the professors in a dither .... Perhaps this year's quota of Chemical Engineers could be more appropriately entitled Cornical Engineers, for such they surely are. Even so serious a subject as Social Philosophy Col- loquium assumes a lighter air when the Senior Chems are in Top: C. Krulewitz, J. Friedman, A. Dworkowitz, J. Goldberg, L. Shapiro, H. Zuchino, S.

most of the boys are a little bewildered and are inclined to stagger along on their knees. The 3rd year Night Ch.E.'s are a fine bunch of regular fellows. There's Vic Antaki, who can tell some pretty good stories about his uncle, one of those traveling salesmeng chess-playing Al Bot- vinekg and the little genius of the group, Emil Cimler. You can not leave out Fred Corvinus, who really gets around and has been on that Rancho Grande. Fred kept the class in good spirits on the Friday before Christmas because he had some of those spirits in him. ,loe Schrenock is a friendly fellow with a head for Calculus. Mr. Beileris Calculus class was quite regularly entertained by Max Slonk, before the cold weather set in. Mr. Beiler would enter the room, glance to the back and address himself to Max, who was unfortunate enough to have an aisle seat in a back row, '4Slonk, will you please close the windowsfi So Max would dutifully un- ravel himself from his seat and do the honors. There are more on the list who could be mentioned, but we'll let the roll call stop here and go on to the Fourth Year. The 4-th Year Night Ch.E.'s returned with the impression that with Mechanics and Calculus be- Top Row: D. Borsiczky, W. Keary, H. Bauma, G. Everson, K. Rothe, A. Dege, G. Ferrigni. Bottom Row: R.
