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.

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.

Damon and Pythias -Gallery and Dixon. .lohn li. is the junior member of this famous duo. llis carrot topped frame can always be seen bobbing along behind Curley, John is a confirmed bowling addict. Though his scores put him in the beginners class, for a stein of beer he'll bowl any weakling. Beside bowling, John handled the duties of the class treasury. That big quiet EE. fellow who always seems to know the right answer to the question is George Cebrinn. Gabe-'s flaming ambition is to become a communication engineer and so he is intensely concentrating on the study of radio. Occasionally he does take time off to enjoy a little bit of swimming, motoring and music. Gabe has been an active member of the A.l.E.E. Little Tell Cold, one of our three Schweinberg Scholarship men, foresook the sanctity of the Bor- ough of Manhattan to move into the uncertain wilds of Brooklyn. However, he managed to blaze a trail through these wilds and left in his wake: the Vice-Presidency of the Math Club, member- ship on the class basketball, water polo and basea ball teams, and an honor course in internal com- bustion engines. Seymour Coldsteinks bad case of nerves can be traced, he says, to his stay at Cooper Union. Si fa member of the A.I.E.E.t gets excited over al- most anything at all and usually dominates an argument, reducing it to a monologue. But a nice classical melody or drive in his car fif it may be called such? can soothe those sensitive feelings of his. Louis Gordon is one of those people who won't have any trouble finding something to occupy his spare time. He is happily married, and can boast of two of the most wonderful offsprings, whose pictures he will flash at any provocation. Lou has only one complaint about his Alma Mater: he claims that it has left him feeling like a fish out of water.
