The big boy of the Chemical Engineers is Hessel Bouma. Hess uses his six foot-something height to good advantage on our varsity basketball team. Slim's build is deceiving, for he has played full games repeatedly, and that takes plenty of en- durance. His hobbies are painting, hunting, fish- ing, and listening to classical music. His ambition is, of all things, to be a Chemical Engineer. Louis Brooks is taking the hig step in ,lune-mar- riage and graduation both. Lou has the very for- tunate knack of knocking out 100722 on quizzes while the rest of us are still knocking the bugs out of our slide rules. Beneath his quiet exterior he combines a good mind with a sense of humor. He's sure to make a good husband and mechanical engineer. Van Pelt Brower is the all-around man of the class. Besides doing most of his homework, he has found time to produce the Freshman Recep- tion, brighten our classes with assorted remarks, jokes, puns, and immortalize himself by writing our school song. Van likes dancing, movies, and plays a wicked trombone. Gifted with such ver- satility, Van Pelt should become quite a person- age in the world outside. graduates John Tyrone Caswell is the Beau Brummel' of the Electrical Engineering class who must go danc- ing at least once a week, if you can call it that. Besides being a proud member of squad one in EE. Labs lremember?! ,lohn is the President of the A.l.E.E., Vice-President of his class, a partici- pator in the intramural softball and basketball games, and a member of M.A.O. William Charney is the aggressive type, but in a friendly, comradely sort of way. Whereas most engineers are concerned with slide rules and calculus, titration and megacycles, Bill's outlook encompasses much more, he is equally at home in the lab or in a round table discussion of prob- lems of contemporary society. His many attri- butes will undoubtedly carry him beyond those horizons he has set for himself.

Charles Bernstein is a cheerful sort of fellow- that is, until he has to solve a problemg then his face acquires that martyr-like look that seems to be so typical of many Cooper students. But, unlike many others, Charlie solves those self- same problems with the capability of a real Chem- ical Engineer. He hails from Brooklyn, but his courtesy at all times offsets this handicap. Stanley Birzdman is a hard working NLE. whose ambition is to own a metal fabricating plant. Aside from working as an engineer during the day and attending school in the evenings, Stan Ends time to build scale model airplanes and invent machines and devices. He also takes active part in sports, likes to listen to concerts, and is a member of both the A.S.M.E. and S.A.E. Everett Birmingham is the Chemical Engineers' famous southpaw softball pitcher and undoubtedly the most likeable fellow in the Senior Class. Be- sides averaging four dates a week, he has made a fine school record. A basketball star, his hobbies are photography, dancing, tennis, movies and Fran- ces. He lists his only ambition as Frances, but his classmates insist that he's the Chemical En- gineer most likely to succeed. rculuutes Paul Bobay is Treasurer of the Camera Club and is also an active member of the Track Club. He is an all-round athlete, and at one time was con- sidering the possibility of studying physical educa- tion for a career. He has written sports columns for the Pioneer. His moral fortitude in commut- ing every day from way out Yonkers has always commanded respect from his classmates. Dan Borsiczky is the orator of the Chemists. His fiuent discourses upon widely separated topics amaze our noble professors. Dan's hobbies are photography and bowlingg his vices, beer and Esquire. Although he lives in Plainfield, he is always on hand to drive his squad to renewed efforts in the Unit Operations Lab. A convincing speaker and a leader, Dan should do well in later life.

Julius Churlow, otherwise known as Julie, is the strong, silent type. not saying anything unless it's worth saying. His spare time is taken up by being active in the Alpha Blu Sigma fraternity and the student branch of the A.l.E.E. He hasn't any serious heart interest, but is very interested in the continued well-being of Can- ada: one Canadian in particular. He must get around! Charles Dapper Cichoslri. of the Cichoski-Dunn team, is the Electrical Engineer who takes pride in his infallible squad No. 1. Waterpolo was the only sport inducing Charlie to attend gym. Cas was Sophomore Class Treasurer, Secretary of the Newman Club, and Sports Editor of the Cable. The Senior year found Charlie as Chairman of the Senior Committee and President of Omega Delta Phi Fraternity. George Clark distinguished himself in many var- ied extra-curricular activities. He was Sports Edi- tor of the Pioneer and Cable. George received the Cold C and was President of both his Sopho- more and junior class. In his spare time he man- aged the softball team. One would think that his school work would never have been neglected, but it was to his credit that he never fell behind. Ira Bernard Cohen is one of those little men who is determined to make good in this big world. He is an active member of Mu Alpha Omicront, and also the student chapter of the A.I.E.E'. Ira will be glad to get back to a normal existence that will include his favorite hobbies. These include photography, boating, sees ing many movies, and listening to good music. Irving Colen is one of those say-little do-much fellows. ln his own little way Irv has become quite an expert authority on the theatre. His weakness is snapshots, stamps and symphonies, and should make out very well, whatever his endeavor. Irv is an active member of the A.I.Ch.E., and he is determined to fulfill his ambition to become a top-notch Chemical Engineer.
