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.

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.

hind them, they were in for a short breathing spellf' However, some of the innocent-appearing subjects proved to be real sticklers. Probably the least popular of the new acquaintances is German. Even the ability of Dr. Steitz is not enough to instill this subject into Bernie Barrett. Norbert Mullio can always be relied upon to give a new slant on pronunciation, and Bob Stewart still tries to irk the good Doctor with inap- propriate remarks. Tundermann didn't have much trouble with this course-she had advance informa- tion. Then there was Physical Metallurgy. No one took this very seriously. The schoolls most able marksman, Charlie Stephens, went down to ineligibility when the results of this course were made known. All the boys liked Quant Lab best in spite ofthe fact that every period seemed to get us farther behind. Bob Rogge was our star analyst, closely paced by Timpe, Braun, and Kovaleski. Dr. Stolz- enbach made himself the best liked instructor by his willingness to answer questions on any and all subjects. Top Row: C. Sullivan, M. Rozene, I. Colen, A. Kuchinsky, H. Roislacher, J.
