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.

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.

Arthur Collfricrl is one of the quiet members of hilarious Electrical Engineering Class, who is al' ways ready for an argttment. Being a Schwein- berg Scholarship man in his earlier years, he would mainly discuss educational topics. Never will his Squad No. 1 forget Artie's exclamation Wait a minute just before closing the switch. Arthur is a member of the A.I.E.E. of which he was Vice-President. Charles Claurle Creberl, he of the red hair. likes the E.E. courses so well that he is considering writing a textbook in Electrical Engineering in collaboration with Bill Neary. Only this hook, they insist, will be written so that even they can understand it. Charlie is a member of tlte A.l.E.E. and PSU. and likes lo swim. dance and drive anything that is fast. Irvipg Guralnick, like many other Civil Engineers, would like to obtain a position in city planning after about five years of diversified engineering experience. He plays the piano, the mandolin, and the harmonica, and has recently taken up the study of the violin. He has also dabbled a bit in psychology, since he feels it necessary for a city planner to understand such matters. William Hampton, the second member of the team of DuFlon, DiNIonico, and Kryger, al- though a cosmopolite for only the past six years, worked hard throughout his school life to catch up to his city slicker pals. During 1939, he decided to be married to a city gal, in order to get his lab reports typed up, much to the envy of his co-workers. The poetic sounding name of Hans Hansen be- longs to this Jerseyite. Commuting on the slow moving Pennsylvania Railroad had one virtue, ac- cording to Hans. That is, it allowed him enough time to study and is in large part responsible for his election to Mu Alpha Omicron. Hans is a budding automotive engineer at which he has been engaged for the past six years.
