El John Dishurk came into the world with a bang, on the fourth of July. Still makes a big noise when he does anything. ls so versatile that he designs anything from a petticoat to a power- plant. He has beautiful eyes-especially when he's dreaming. The technician in him says his future is Mechanical Engineering. The artist in him prompts him to say that his old age will be spent in the country-painting. Samuel Curly Dixon has long been the class daddy. Besides looking after Red Gallery, Sam's pleasant personality has made him one of the most endeared fellows in his class. As Bursar of MAD. he proved his worth. Sam confesses to being a bowler. But confession is 8001i-for the soul, so we forgive him. ,-is for his ambition to be a college professor. he cer- tainly looks the part. Abe Dorfnmn is one of the best liked fellows in his class. With all the odds of an NLE. course at Cooper and designing business machines forty hours a week against him, Abe has kept his good nature and sense of humor intact. ln extra- curricular activities Abe has been fifth year class Treasurer, senior S.A.E. representative. and a mem- ber of the A.S.5I.E. ruduates Alton H. DuFlon, of the team Dihfonico, DuFlon, Hampton and Kryger, is anxious to put into prac- tice the many facts absorbed while at Cooper. He would, if possible, do so in the course of travel-his life's ambition. Al has participated in many extra-curricular activities, having held the of- fices of class President and Secretary, Secretary of the A.S.Bf.E. and is a member of S.A.E. Albert Dunn, of the Dunn-Cichoski team, is the handsome Mechanical Engineer who managed to complete his work to-date before the end of every semester. Being the athletic type. he participated in intramural baseball and waterpolo of which he was the manager. Al also was the Sports Editor of the Cable, Sophomore Class President, Treas- urer of Omega Delta Phi and an .N.5.Nl.E. mem- ber.

Raymond Costa is, along with George Ferrigni, our class politician. He has been active in the A.l.Ch.E. for three years and did a fine job ar- ranging the A.l.Ch.E. dinner this year. Ray's en- tertainment is music, movies, and photography. He wants to get an engineering position fast and then get married. Oh. yes, he has a low number in the draft, but he can dream, can't he? Herman Joseph Decker was always in a hurry to catch that train to North Bergen, New Jer- sey. ln spite of this he had enough energy left to take an active part in a great many extra- curricular activities. For two years he was class President, an officer of P.S.0. and a member of Nl.A.0. Herman's future lies in elevator en- gineering-sooooo-to the top, boy. . flLgllSl Dege, a strong, conservative element of the Chemical Engineers, has had his troubles defend- ing his home town-Jersey City. Besides mixing solutions, Augie has the ability to sing. play piano, and paint. With his crony, Everson, he has consumed tnany gallons of coffee between his classes. Augie's activities consisted of the Luth- eran Club, A.l.Ch.E. and Omega Delta Phi, of which he was the President. Listening to Sidney Deulsclfs off-key whistling of operas explains why some of us are almost-you know what. Sid loves classical music and claims that he can think best when it blasts forth from ltis radio. He is a member of the A.l.E.lf. and Nl.A.0. His ambition is communications engi- neering and to realize this, he devotes much time to his study. Perhaps George DiMonico was so frequently awakened by lectures that he always managed to complete his homework. Yet many a vision of perfectly operating gadgets was exploded by these awakenings. If the M.A.0. had heard of this-Afioshl P.S. George tried drawing for l'ncle Sam's battleships, but got into a pipe dream-he's back designing mechanical jiggers.

Cooper l'nion Lutheran Club George Andrew Lin- coln Emerson, the pride of Tuckahoe. has engaged in many extra-curricular activities. This gad-about was associated with the Freshman Afliair, Dance Committee and Senior Affair Committee. He was Sophomore Class Secretary. Cable Business Man- ager, and is a member of the Ex Post Facto and Omega Delta Phi. His only ambition is to try to keep his decrepit car in operation. Ceorge Ferrigni is endowed with ability to a sur- prising degree, being Secretary and President of the A.l.Ch.E. Active in intramural basketball and baseball. Get-p is also an artist with a color cam- era. llis extra-curricular activities. however. have not interfered with his studies for Geep is re- garded as an authority on Chemical Engineering subjects. When in doubt ask George for his opin- ion-you may depend on it. Hartley Buck Field is one of our class athletes. He has been the mainstay of the intramural bas- ketball team for three years. Buck played on the championship softball team of 1940. When not playing ball or studying Chemical Engineering, Hartley likes stamp collecting. He belongs to the Lutheran Club and the A.l.Ch.E. Buck's ambi- tion is a fine thought- to enjoy life. graduates Abraham Franlfel entered the Cooper Union as an advanced student having previously obtained his B.S. degree from Brooklyn College. As his first philanthropic effort he would like to contribute to the C.U. founder's fund. He is a member of the A.S.M.E. and hopes eventually to become a com- petent engineer. For relaxation, he prefers hand- ball and tennis. Ed Frost claims that ne has never overslept his station in all his years of commuting to Jersey. It seems that the practice he obtained in staying up all night while playing bass in a band has helped him a great deal at Cooper l'nion. He was a mem- ber of the school's honor society, Mu Alpha Omi- cron, and the backbone of the class bowling team.
