E DEDICATE The staff of the 1942 CABLE found little difficulty in selecting the person to whom it should dedicate its efforts. There is no doubt that there will be complete agreement among the student body on our selection of Professor Walter Samuel Watson as the recipient of this symbol of our appreciation. As Director of Admissions and Student Relations, as Assistant Pro- fessor of Psychology, as counselor to the students of The Cooper Union, he has proved himself to be most discerning and competent. One need meet Professor Watson but once to understand the reasons for his being chosen to greet incoming freshmen. His friendly efficiency and kindness inspire trust in all who come in contact with him. Although a member of the faculty for- only three years, he has already caught the spirit of the institution whose guiding principles Peter Cooper and Abram S. Hewitt expressed in the thought, Help the people to help themselves. Furthermore, Professor Watson has contributed a great deal to the establishment of closer relations between the faculty and the students. Invaluable, for example, has been his supervision here of the National Youth Administration. With his keen psychological insight he has aided the students by providing tasks challenging to them and useful to the school. His own typical American boyhood accounts for his deep understand- ing of the problems of college youth. The qualities of good sportsmanship were instilled in him at an early age. Camp in the summer, the usual home chores and household duties of a Middle Western home, church on Sunday -all went into the molding of his multi-dimensional personality. At college he played in the band, acted in plays, and wrote for the college paper. Since graduation he has been at various times a science teacher, an athletic coach, toll traffic engineer, and physicist. At other times he has engaged in such disparate activities as conducting prayer meetings, registering the heat of the sun on the lofty peaks of the Andes for the Smithsonian Institution, and, recently, tractor-mowing sixty acres of hay. His studies of the psychology of religious beliefs are often quoted by authorities in attitude research. ' From this broad experience and diversified background he has drawn the qualities of character and mind which serve so usefully and sympathe- tically the needs of The Cooper Union. Therefore, we feel privileged to dedicate to Professor Watson this, our 1942 CABLE. Q Qfdzqs, Jzfgah, TRUSTEES ANO DUNN, President since 1935, is also a trustee of Barnard College. He is the president of J. G. White Engineering Corporation and on the Board of Directors of Radio Corporation of America. Well established in the Foundation Building, Secretary Edward L. Rehm is seldom seen by students in person but often in name. Dr. Burdell seeks his advice on all issues in view of his experience. Mr. Rehm is at the core of all activity. Robert J. Winthrop, is successor to Percy R. Pyne Jr. former treasurer and lately deceased. Percy R. Pyne's vigorous interest in Cooper prevailed even after his resignation because of ill health. In his place Robert Winthrop fulfillls his office who also serves as director of several banks, realty com- panies and railroads. J. Pierpont Morgan, head of the company of the same name, is a director of the United States Steel Company of New York, and also the Aetena Insurance Company. He takes a conscientious interest in his god- child The Cooper Union, being a frequent visitor to the office of the Director and to our famous Museum. W Walter S. Gifford was President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and a trustee of John Hopkins University. Mr. Gifford is at present a Navy official. Barklie Henry was elected to a vacancy created by Cano Dunn's elevation to the Presidency. He is a director of the United States Trust Company of New York, Blue Ribbon Books Inc. and Reynal and Hitchcock, publishers. Elihu Root Jr., a Phi Betei' man from Hamilton College, received his L.L.D. from Harvard. He is a trustee of his alma mater and of the Metro- politan Museum of Art. ano Dunn Prestde t J. P. Morgan Walter S. Gifford Elihu Root, Jr. Barklie Henry 1 . w 1 . , 'U EW of us have had the opportunity to meet and talk with the Director of The Cooper Union, Doctor Edwin Sharp Burdell. How- ever, all of us know him in one way-by his work and his accom- plishments which do him more honor than volumes of words. One of the outstanding achievements of Dr. Burdell's administration has been the program of liberalizing the art and engineering courses. lVlost thinking people today agree that the broadening of these specialized cur- ricula will result in graduates of The Cooper Union being better able to cope with the problems of the demanding world because they are socially and culturally competent as well as scientifically and artistically trained. The task of combining the already intensive courses in engineering and art with the liberal education required for a successful career was indeed a difficult one, but Dr. Burdell was well qualified for it. His wide experience in this field as a student and as an instructor have left him mindful of the value of extra-curricular activities to the student. One interesting illustration of his intense interest in student activities was his inauguration of a' service of inestimable value to all student leaders. His so-called Press Conferences, begun soon after he became director, have proved a very effective way in which the faculty and students have been brought together to discuss informally student problems. These meetings are a sort of clearing house for ideas, old and new, which have often brought about, through clearer and 'better understanding, satisfactory solutions for many problems. One event which will be remembered long after our school Work is forgotten was Dr. Burdell's address to the entire school assembled in the Great Hall on that fateful day, December 8, l94l. Following on the heels of the President's call for a declaration of war against Japan, the meeting was truly one of the most impressive in many years. Dr. Burdell recounted in his simple yet direct manner, his own experiences in the first World War when he was yet a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology together with what little was known of the Pearl Harbor attack. His strict adherence to facts without recourse to rhetoric made a profound impression on the students. He left no doubt in any mind as to the difficulties of the task ahead. Everyone, confused and questioning before the assembly, left with a much more vivid idea of the type of character he must maintain in times such as these. With such a record behind him and with the attributes which he has already exhibited as Director, Dr. Edwin Sharp Burdell will continue to instill a spirit of confidence and hope in The Cooper Union which shall not be destroyed. QQ. 5145 xg6WgfaL.,J fwmwffflffmf? The history of the Engineering Schools during the past twenty-live years is closely linked with the life of Dean George F. Bateman. Although he became the Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering 'and the Dean of the Schools of Engineer- ing, he has still been able to maintain his personal touch with the students through his Advisory Service. Many students have availed themselves of his helpful counsel in the past, and this year the number has greatly increased. The Dean feels that many of his happiest moments have been those spent in congenial discussions with students. Dean Bateman has also been active in the interests of National Defense through the Association of Engineering College Administrators which forms the board of trustees of the Defense Training Institute. These few examples will illustrate the service the Dean has given to The Cooper Union. 4 This solid, down-to-earth leader of the Art School possesses the most impor- tant of all virtues in an art director, tolerance. Born into a wealth of art, theater and literary activity, Dean Clark was given the best of opportunities to further his in- terests. From Barnard Military Academy, he went to Pratt Institute, where for two successive years he won the Cornell Scholarship. Continuing at the New York School of Art he further proved himself by winning three consecutive annual scholarships. He became part of the Stieglitz atmosphere prevalent in the Village during the time but he remained the searching individual that he is today. Too practical a person to remain long in a Bohemian atmosphere, Dean Clark obtained a job doing sets for Joseph A. Physoic. Later as Art Director of the New York Times, he pioneered for better photography in black and white reproductions. This is the modest Guy Gayler Clark who has come to be Dean of The Cooper Union Art School. Assistant Dean of the Day Art School, Profesor of Architecture and Instructor in lettering: these are all jobs which Professor Shaw performs with finesse and respect inspiring facility. lt is well said that if Professor Shaw has not commented on something about you as an art student, then you may well consider yourself a failure. Withstand and counter attack his disconcerting observations and you will have won for yourself the favor of this hearty virile gentleman. A rigid but productive teacher as progressive Assistant Dean, he commands the awed respect of many a poor youth who does not realize that the way to this man's heart is not through his sense of humor. Prior to his appointment to The Cooper Union, Professor Shaw was Supervis- ing Park Designer of New York City and a member of the New York World's Fair's Board of Design, which makes a worthy and impressive background for Professor Shaw's present position.

This pre-engineering stage although elementary is a rather indicative one. It is indicative in the respect that those who pass through it smoothly and successfully are more than likely to find the final years to their liking. On the other hand those who cannot endure the pressure or lind the work inconsistent with their expecta- tions had better look to other fields. Yes, it is here that the engineer- ing' student is made or broken. The freshmen have been, we are sure, quite impressed by the school. Many of them being of the intelligent sort, had found things very easy in their high school courses and expected their engineering work to come with that same ease, conceding, albeit, the necessity of some little application. They were surprised indeed. Others, who, perhaps, did equally well in secondary school but worked to do so, buckled down when they came to Cooper and really gave it the works. They are the one who would come out all right anywhere, And there is, I believe, another gifmup, those who were never the best of the lot in high school-they may have been pretty good. They are not perhaps tops even now. They have their troubles but they have a kind of intellectual courage and fight and when they stumble in the race for education they straighten up again and carry on. These, l believe, are the men of which Cooper is charac- teristic. They are the sturdy libre of which it is made. The laggards have not been able to keep up the pace, these serve to fill up the mob. It is into this pattern that the pre-engineering students must make their place. REE GI EERI Professor Albert Ball After thirty-seven years of continuous service to The Cooper Union Professor Ball is going to retire. During this time he has made physics a living subject to some 10,000 students. His extreme clarity of thought and ability to teach has enabled him to present the principles of physics to others lucidly. He is a born teacher possessing the necessary qualities of patience, understanding and insight. A His imagination and ability to visualize things have enabled him to devise many unique experiments. Much of the equipment in our physics laboratory, such as the three way ammeter switch and the apparatus for determining the coefiicient of volumetric expansion of a gas, is a product of his ingenuity. He has also developed much unique apparatus for lecture demonstrations. It has been said, and truly so, Professor Ball always puts on a good showfl When the Physics Department moved to the Hewitt Building in 1912, Professor Ball became its head. Since that time he has run the department like one big happy familyf' He preferred to have his desk in the same oliice with the other professors, who were free to see him any time any place. Always carrying the heaviest load and never asking anyone to do what he would not do himself, he has won the admiration of all his subordinates. Professor Ball has always been proud of his former students. Dean Bateman was one of his first, and Professor Merritt, and Messrs. Bossert, Faralla, and Koenig of the Physics Department were others. Students who are willing to learn and to work hard to do so appeal to him and he has always been ready to listen sympathetically to their problems. The Cooper Union can -be proud of the record that Professor Ball has made here. He has only missed three lectures in thirty-seven years, at which times his health was such that he could not possibly attend without serious consequences. Once he even delivered a lecture to the Night School Freshmen just before going to the hospital for an operation. In his long stay at The Cooper Union Professor Ball has earned a place in the hearts of all those connected with this institution. The day he leaves will be a sad day for all who have known him, but he will be remembered in the years to come along with Peter Cooper, Abram S. Hewitt and his pre- decessor, Professor Anthony.

Schatz, Treas. FRESHMAN After going through one year with this gang of Freshmen, we feel that wehave fully graded and candled its members, and may pronounce them despite their failings to be good eggs. From the impression given by the very diflicult entrance exams we expected our fellow students to be of very high type intellectually. They are this, though not however cut and dried bookworms, but all regular fellows out to work, and always on hand for a good laugh. We may claim the distinction of being the first Freshman class in The Cooper Union to have its beginning at Green Engineering Camp .... The purpose of the Camp as expressed by Prof. Watson was to give the Fresh- men a chance to become acquainted with their fellow students and future instructors in an informal and easy atmosphere of play and good fellowship. In this respect it was a tremendous success. We all came to know each other in a way that could never have been possible under the usual conditions of admission. The main part of the program was a closely contested sports tourna- ment, won by the men of Professor lVlacDonald's group. After witnessing the tournament we have come to the conclusion that The Cooper Union athlete may be defined as uone who walks. ln the evening we listened to some very enlightening talks about the engineering profession and the hard work we were expected to do. i The first night we all stayed awake until pretty late and thought nothing of it. But when on the second night, after a strenuous clay, we all wanted to go to sleep, some fellows decided to exchange some of their choice anec- dotes. Chaos ruled until one genius hit on a bright idea. He started to narrate one of his ugoodl' jokes very quietly. Before long the whole udormn was straining their ears to hear. This finally brought about peace and quiet. Most of us did not take all the talk about hard work and long hours of homework seriously until Professor Hope whizzed through his first few lectures and told us that we were responsible for everything that he said. He derived numerous formulae while we raced to get the maze of symbols into our notes. The one thing that every freshman always looked forward to was Pro- fessor Ball's lectures. With Mr. Bossert,s help he always set up some spec- tacular experiments that made us sit back and just look in amazement. It is not an uncommon sight to see upper termers coming to our freshman lec- tures only to watch Professor Ball perform his experiments. Our Monday mornings were always brightened by Professor Lynch's witty and enlightening lectures. In introducing us to the Humanities Depart- ment and its course he told us that we do not take them in order that awe may glibly quote from the classics at a cocktail party given after some suc- cessful engineering venture, while the boss's daughter looks on in admiration -don't misquote me, thatis not why we take themf' Many of us freshmen took the physical exams at the Christadora House. This was a bit of wishful thinking on our part for the majority of us have never seen the place since. Time is, we find, that valuable. Among the very few that have made the sacrifice of studies for the sake of a little exercise are the members of the freshman basketball team which finished third in the intramural competition. The labs were to most of us something new, and, as such, they were at first found to be fascinating. This fascination soon disappeared when the tedious reports had to be written. All admit, however, that this is one place Top R Braun, J. Brown, B. Janofsky, D. Hyman, S. Levander, H. Katz, H. Daneman, R. Leif, J. Budas, Casazza B Levine, B. Edelstein, R. Bloom. 2nd Row-I.

As for the separate sections, there are four in the day school and six in the night school. The day school roll begins with a Jersey boy formerly of Brooklyn Poly, one Herman Amster. When anyone wants to know some- thing about New Jersey, Amster is the person to ask. We suspect Tom Calla- han is an Irishman. His attempts to outdo Amster in the humor department are a positive proof of this fact. His subtle remarks in every period are nu- merous. Long will be remembered his outburst in engineering drawing of HI hate every last one of you fellows for disturbing me. It is you who are to blame for this messy plate. i It's amazing, says Davis when he learns something interesting. He will probably say it many more times before he learns all that The Cooper Union has to offer. Daneman was a supporter of the Chinese even before the war broke out. We don't know why, unless that mustache of his is hiding his yellow ancestry. And to those who don't know how to pronounce Klem Baczewski's last name he is known as that fellow in section one who always has his hair slicked down. It is quite generally agreed although not yet proven that Diamond is the wizard of section one. The class, approval was shown when they elected him as section one's representative to the Math Club. The greatest surprise to the class occurred when they discovered Bernd was born in New York. His almost perfect English contains an accent which marks him as a foreigner. Of the rest of the four sections that arose from this aggregation it has, in the last months, become our definite opinion that section three represents the greatest and most peculiar variety of brains and exuberance of the lot, which is, in such a class, quite an achievement.

Well, We next refer you to the principal characters of section three-and we repeat once again, characters. There is Mollick, the laughing boy and bane of his instructors, of whom Mr. Ruf, physics instructor, has more than once spoken to the effect, 'LWhat! You here again? And I was almost happy today. A quiet boy and Whistler of the classics is William Oshinsky who disgustedly declares Engineers, bah! I should have been a musician. The section also boasts the three principal freshman oflicers, Bob Manfredi, President, Harry Pines, Vice-President, and Paul Pistrack, Secretary, of Whom we may quote the following typical statements: '4Hi ho, fellows! Hi holv fllflanfredij 'Ll-lave you heard this one, fellowsfw Qlninesj And from the ingenuous Pistrack, What can they keep on the sixth floor? Top-J. Weingart, R. Wehrli, B. Stopek. Bottom-H.

He does more things wrong in one day than the rest of the class does in a week. Karlo Keljo is always complaining about his sleep. He sleeps four hours a day, two in school and two at home. The witty team of Hyman and Levander is always good for a laugh. Hal Goldberg is aiming to outdo them and become the class wit. So far he has advanced half way in that direction. Bob Lawit- was the most surprised boy in the freshman class the day Mr. Halsey actually answered one of his questions. Stan Kasperis life has been made miserable by the terrible ribbing he took in class about his relations with a certain young Art School student. The three musketeers of that southeast window, Lawit, Fornason, and Corner have been doing all right in matters amatory. ln case you don't know them, Fornason is the walking Esquire, Corner the handsome fellow with the curly black hair, and Lawit that wolf with the lisp and glasses. The spirit of levity was not entirely absent: specifically, Herbert Sekuler's efforts at facetiousness, and Art Zigas' monumental ability to top without fail a joke of any order. Speaking of consistency, the whole section was deeply shocked when Sol Tanne slipped down to a 98 on a Physics test. Tanne never divulged the secret of his downfall, but wethink a girl may have had something to do with it, although it isn't much to her credit to cause a fall of only two points. ln spite of Harry Williams, protestations, the general conclusion was that the bane of his doleful existence must have been something he kept hidden away in his heart. On the whole the section was one of many facets. Meyer Steinberg contributing naivete, Seymour Weismann, Flatbush, Harry Tashjian mushy English themes, and Thomas Schwartz unadulterated Thomas Schwartz. In the night school we have fellows that really deserve some credit. They did not begin with a pleasant weekend in New Jersey. ln fact we imagine that they have very few pleasant weekends. Working days, attend- ing classes at night and studying between times is pretty tough. Nor does it leave much time for social life or extra-curricular activities. It is for their ability to endure in spite of the lack of these things which we find so neces- sary that we commend them, particularly the freshmen. The news of December 7 came as something of a shock to everyone. It was not a shock in the respect that no one was able to foresee it-we have more respect for the freshmen than that-but a shock in that we had now actually come face to face with that previously distant abstraction, that bad dream which we chased from our minds by throwing the paper aside or turning off the radio, that horror, the practice of which we had been born just too late to witness in its last great exhibition. It was now here in all its glory-or lack of it. To present such a reaction may seem to be over- doing it a little. Perhaps it is in some cases but it is, nevertheless, a re- Fzrst Year Nzght Tech Students action which should occur to every thinking person in one form or another. At any rate everyone has been made to feel it now that summer sessions have been announced. Whether we like it or not-whether We had had some lucrative position in prospect or had planned an enjoyable four months -it has now been decided that we're going to go to school this summer and more than likely during the rest of the summers of the years we spend in Cooper. Everyone of us is wondering whether we,ll be able to get through the hot summer or just give up and go to the beach and recuperate. The re- exams have been abolished, the time between terms being somewhat abbre- viated. Everything said and done, we expect a future of hard work and sleepless nights, but we shall, face it with confidence and pride in the con- tribution that we shall make to the strength and worth of our country. First Year Nzght Tech Students it r 1 1 Z -: ! 7'- if 1 731 uv' .2 ,ii a -4 fiff 4 -f .4 3 .41 W4 wi The sophomore Electrical Engineering class consists of an average of about twenty students, the very flower of last yearis one hundred Fresh- men. An average membership of students, rather than a precise one, is given by reason of the somewhat discomforting fact that some of us flowers have yet to master sundry first year profundities, the mastery of which is pre- requisite to our full bloom as regular sophomores. And thus it happens that as the section migrates from class to class its numerical magnitude varies, for the second year subject waiteth, giving place to the first year one. How- ever, on the basis of the fact that we breathe the same air as the regulars, and speak the same language, and have taken many of the same courses fsometimes more than oncej, and are all members of the human race, we feel we are all of the same group. Except for our unquestionable intellectual superiority, our lightning wits, and magnetic personalities, we of the sophomore Electrical Engineering section are pretty much the same kind of students as are those of the other sophomore sections. As a matter of fact, several of our lectures are attended by various other sections in full force, and we think our section is to be congratulated upon its consistently humane conduct toward these lesser beings. It is our practice never to discuss any of the more involved problems of Electrical Engineering in the presence of these pitiable fellows, and we have always been careful to pretend interest in their pathetic little affairs. ln return for our magnanimity, we ask of them only that we be shown the respect that is naturally due us. And so, largely as a result of these efforts on the part of our section, there exists a complete harmony and remarkable unity throughout the entire sophomore student body. Second Year E.E.-Top-G.

It is our fondest hope that, when we have acquired sufficient knowledge of the principles we are being taught to warrant our practicing them in the engineering field, we shall always be able to maintain with Civil, Mech- anical and Chemical Engineers such ideal relations as have been described. JUNIORS After a summer's absence, we returned to this our third year at C. U. with renewed hopes and ambitions. The havoc of June exams was evinced by the absence of several familiar faces and the addition of several new ones to the class. The partnership of Schachat and Hirsch was broken up, and the Goldin twins separated, with Julian Hirsch and Sam Goldin sticking with us. ' 'Faced with a light schedule, our hopes for an eight hour night fof sleepj were soon darkened, as the complexities of Differential Equations, A.C. Circuits, Mechanics of Materials, Heat Power and D.C. Machines began to penetrate our rusty brains. Never did we feel the depths of our ignorance more than when Professor Miller explained an uelementary problem in Diff. Eq., or when Professor Brumfield queried us on the matter of stresses and strains. And then there was E.81lVl.-again! It was with sadness that we discovered that a summer of aging had done little toward improving the mildness of lVlr. Tallman's problems, Heading the list of our class's'brighter luminaries, we find the name of Ed Herszkorn. Ed may customarily be located by spotting a group of vociferously arguing students. Generally Herszkorn will be in the center surrounded by and in vocal competition with Soroka, Halabi, or Grad. 7 1 Top- A Adverse, J. Rozolis, G. Weiner, M. Coe. Bottom-B. Cole, B. Soroko, M.

Hirsch Most famous of the Hflerszkorn questions was when Mr. Shelton explained that a synchronous condenser was an over-excited synchronous motor, our Ed inquired, HBut do they really put condensers on those motors?,' Harold Grad, incidently, is the mathematical genius and all around brain of our section. Among his more minor achievements is the formula- tion of a differential equation for stress in a concrete cylinder that even Prof. Miller couldn't solve. Then there is our big business man, Milton J. Minneman, financial wizard of that journalistic misdemeanor, The Pioneer, generally accompanied by Byron M. Cole, who is another factor in the production of our school rag. This brings us inevitably to that great reporter, paragon of fsupposedj wit and worldly wisdom, Gil Weiner. ln addition to his many other activi- ties, Gil joined this year with John Rozolis and Mike Coe to form a junior M.A.O.-object, the advancement of learning among said members. For class cynic, we elect that sharp tongued young man-about-town, R. O. Williams. We understand that R. 0. is quite a blade with the Women, but he has yet, unlike Aaron Leder, to prove his talent. Leder appeared at Mr. Churchill's Social Study Group gallantly escorting a beautiful blonde. The lecture that week was on marriage! Of course, no reference to a third year class can be complete without some mention of our Electrical Machines lab., forever to be allied with memories of sleepless nights spent suffering over a lab report. Here were revealed unsuspected talents of Henry Schwiebert and Frank Wil- liams, under whose able supervision many a difiicult experiment was car- ried to a successful conclusion. It was here too that Minneman demon- Top-S. Shamis, R. Konigsberg, W. Zdan, F. Himmer, H. Kirshbaum, S.'Sherman, S. Mehlman, W. Derganc. Bottom-A. Ruvin, E. Juhl, L. Fischer, L. Alent, I.

SENIORS What with the national motto of uliiemember Pearl Harborn and the school motto of 'LKeep them Failingn the Senior E.E.,s have had quite a hectic year. According to some of our instructors, generally speaking we Were generally speaking. 'aGoldstein and Mehlman do our class represent in any debate or fast argument? Konigsberg seems to be partial to piano Concertos while Sam lVlehlman prefers Guy Lombardo. Ruvin, Sherman and Shamis will hence- forth concern themselves with individual research, then their reports will get the grade instead of the textbook. At the A.l.E.E. smoker Red Hershfield was Charlie lVIcCarthy's rival. Fifth Year Night Ojicers-J. Screnock, Sec.g C. Ange, Trears.g I. Konigsberg, Pres.g P. Scherb- ner, Vice-Pres.

Herb is still confused, he doesn't know which hand he wants it in. Our class is eager to open new fields of endeavor. For example, Frank Himmer will go with Ed Barlow on his trip to Mars to open la new branch of the A.l.E.E. ftsk, tskl. Bill Derganc wants a new Sagamore on Mars, and with Bill will be his fedora fwhat still?j Despite scientific estimates of the dryness of the Martian air, J im Comins is taking his umbrella.

Abe Ruvin has prospered so well in Cooper that he has been steadily gaining weight during his sojourn here, even in spite of his ardent interest in F olk-dancing and affairs of the heart fwitness the trouble he had in having his lVl.A.O. key returnedj One day his lab squad found Mehlman dragging a frequency meter around the floor by its leads. Maybe he left his head home that day, as Professor Young has been known to observe. Then as Spring rolls around we find Bill Derganc and Red Hershfield holding hands in Power Plants class. Bill, by the way, expects to develop his social talents among the Ubangi tribes the next few years. Herb Kirschbaum will be remembered by the underclassmen for his impartial judgments as the softball umpire. He has also been giving an art student cooking lessons interspersed with serious discussions of our ocean fauna. Herb has been rejected by his lab class. The Konigsberg clan is at last going to be broken up, which will be a help to one of our instructors who is never sure which Konigsberg he gave a test to, not that it makes much difference. This instructor, by the way, will be remembered long after the others have been forgotten. Prof. Norman L. Towle Dept. Head Prof. Ernest W. Starr Prof. Frederick H. Miller Acting Head of Math. Dept. Prof. J. K. L. MacDonald FAC LTY ENGINEERING SOPHOMORES On September 24-, 1940, one hundred crack fighters, chosen for their ability and resourcefulness, charged pell-mell into the jaws of death. Al- though faced with superior weapons, superior odds, and opponents who well acquainted with the terrain of the battle area, they fought tirelessly and stubbornly, each striving to hold his bit of ground. On September 24, 1941, the remains of that gallant gathering returned to renew the struggle. However, only forty-four of the group were to be seen, the remainder being casualties in the greatest struggle known to a freshman class. Twenty of the forty-four chose to pursue the path of mechanical engineering. The class has been extremely active from the beginning of the year: its activities included the rifle club, Cable, Pioneer, lunchroom committee, fencing, bowling, election committee, air raid wardens, basketball, camera club, and last but not at all least, the dancing club. Like every class group, it has had its share of jokes, puns, and wise- cracks. J. Miller could always be depended upon for humor, even to the ex- treme suggestion that a film on differentiation be run in reverse to teach integration. The age old conflict of artist versus engineer was settled when H. Cook invaded the second year night art class to paint Suzy to the satis- faction of the art instructor and various art students. The instructor admit- ted that Mall engineers would probably make better painters than art stu- dentsf, His name is being withheld for humanitarian reasons. We beat the chemical engineers at their own game, coming out in the various fuels exams with higher class average than they. Even so, not one of us, or any other person taking the course, ever had a mark so low that he did not hope that the class average was lower still. We're good hearted. We even forgave Mr. Churchill for that remark referring to uthose engineering minds that he made in front of the art school. If he had made it in class, we would have enjoyed itg but to betray us to those sixth floor people! Quite a few of us have had opinions changed this year. Sahagian ad- mits that 'clVlen, Groups, and the Communityn could be used to teach Ameri- can Government. Orginally, he was rather doubtful as that topic is not men- tioned until chapter fourteen. Boyer's chest has begun to grow since Dr. Watson put him down as the class athletic advisor. Maybe it will catch up with the rest of his body some day. Everyone remembers the day when Stillerman looked so differentg after much examination, it was discovered that he had removed the camou- flage from his upper lip. Some people say that on dark nights when few people are around, the form of Marcus Aurelius can be seen stealing back to the E.8zlVl. lab to see whether that apparatus he was using is still where he left it when he forgot to return it. By the way, if anyone is looking for a howling partner who can do mechanics problems, see Arnie. One day, we nearly died when we saw Leon Resnicow scrawled in large letters over a list of signatures of those wanting to organize a blackout-date bureau to promote social activityg bad influence those artists. All in all, we had a swell time, and our only regret is that we now have one less year to spend in the community of The Cooper Union. Third Year Day Tech Officers- ' H. Goldgraber, Treas.g S.

If they were to survive, redoubled energy was necessary. Sam fBaldyj Smookler decided that The Pioneer didn't need him as much as he needed himself. Sieffert let his hair grow half an inch longer. Class cooperation never before reached such a high peak. One bright spot in the course was Power Plant Inspections which in- cluded a trip to Brooklyn. Each trip took the form of a race by train, bus, and foot with Mr. Tuthill leading the pack. There was much disappointment when all samples had to be left at the gate at the Ford plant in Jersey.

SENIORS There were sixteen Senior Mechanical Engineers in the Day School this year-sixteen handsome, robust, Well dressed young men, ready to throw a heat balance around you at the drop of a hat. Most of them could be found any day at the lunch-room down at the lVl.E. table in the c'Glory l-lolel' fwhere the elite met to eatj. Very abstruse topics were treated in erudite fashion at these sessions. Such questions as-HDO you think entropy is here to stay, or it is just a passing fancy? were discussed to the com- plete bewilderment of all. The object of these discussions was obscure, the procedure was wild and barbaric, and a conclusion was never reached- but it was fun. . Of course, We had our little difliculties too-like running a four hour test on the Corliss and finding that the indicator spring was broken, or try- ing to plot a condition curve for a thirty stage turbine. But we are made of rugged stuff, descended from pure pioneer stock. fYes sir! 4'Hilton', Kleinls grandfather drove the Mohawk Indians out of Flatbushj Top-A. Vescuso, L. Picone, G. Sedat, R.

A memorable occasion for lke F ranklin, that erstwhile Fred Astaire, is the time he won the pool in lVl.E. Lab with twenty eight corrections on his experiment. lt took him longer to correct it than to write the original. Few things are conceivable that are more exhilarating than a Pelton Wheel that is 2002, efficient. This gem, this engineering triumph, was un- covered in our own Hydraulics Lab by Kass, Goldberg and Novak-these boys also worked on the Duplex steam pump in the lVl.E. Lab but they couldn't get comparable results at all. Just before the Christmas Holiday we went to a tea as guests of the faculty wives, and consumed thousands of infinitesimal sandwiches, incre- ments of food that approached zero as a limit. The summation was a good time! On this occasion also, we learned that the school year was to be shortened by the omission of final examina- tions and the spring recess, in order to expedite our entrance into industry. Well, we shall be ready. Four long years of work are behind us, the bags under our eyes have grown to suitcase proportions. By lVlay the bags will be packed, if all goes well, we'll be ready to contribute our share to the war eiiort. With the coming of May, the road lifted us out of the weakened state in which reports and quizzes naturally left us and carried us along its stub- born, swerving Way up into the genuine final examinations. lt was a mean road, bent on wearing us out at all cost. lt kept us in middle gear for six continuous, bumpy years, and then delivered us, exhausted on Graduation Day-which already is disappearing in the haze of distance. Now that we are enjoying that unfamiliar custom of sleeping nights, many sentimental thoughts come to our mind. We wish to thank our instruc- tors for their willingness to help us at all times. A quick survey of our last year at Cooper reveals the gems of mysticism. Internal Combustion Engines, being a new subject to all of us, presented manifold difficulties. However, lVlr. Kut succeeded in teaching us to differ- entiate between the 'cCold Air-Standard and the ul-lot Air that Dave Morris expelled. No, Stephens, the efhciency of a spark-ignition engine can- not he increased by reducing the back pressure-at least not by sucking on the exhaust pipe. The Electrical Department and especially lVlr. Abt has our fullest thanks for having arranged to have music on Friday nights to synchronize with the A.C. alternators. It has been definitely established that the upole shoes depicted in D. Accinols notes were not worn by Perry-neither was it the back e.m.f. that knocked Neidhammer on his back, but a hot shot. Ben Radzka recently went to the S.P.C.A. to get a look at a 'cGrowler ' to com- plete the first EE. Lab experiment. For the study of Power Plants, lVlr. Vopat was called upon to fill the role of lecturer. The results of our first quiz taught us not to fall asleep while cross-sections of equipment were being projected. Thanks are in order for Messrs., Miller and Sedat for their able assistance in correcting the text throughout the year. Congratulations are due to F. Kitty and C. Lasky for holding Gold UC honors. Boxing gloves should be given to R. Bayuk and Graymang they're always arguing about something-cherchez la femme! eh boys? A. Orsini holds top honors in studies and Joseph Grossman- has been doing research in coiffures-he's been sporting the feather-edge hair-do since September. Speaking of gravity fwhich we weren,tj whatevere goes up must come down including Lucke11's score in bowling. Last but not least there is Huchital- quiet, unassuming, capable, and Picone, we wonder what goes on behind that innocent expression, they say still water runs deep. In closing may we say that we have been honored to attend The Cooper Union and that some day we may do, honor to our Alma lVlater. Prof- C- Hia-:be Young . Prof. William s.

Any- one venturing into 510 F on a Tuesday or Friday might have gotten the impression that it was the anteroom of a maternity ward, but those haggard individuals pacing the floor were only waiting to get their lab reports mark- ed. Occasionally one of them, unable to stand the suspense, would utter a piercing shriek and throw himself out of the balance-room Window. We lose a lot of men that way. 1 A word of appreciation is due from the entire class to interpid Jonathan Rothschild, who fearlessly ventured forth from the 5th floor Ch.E. strong- hold to secure for his classmates The Pioneer every Wednesday-only one day after everyone else had it. But we had enough trouble getting anyone to go at all. Besides, one extra day's aging of the 'gnewsn was hardly even noticed. In spite of the trials and tribulations of the Sophomore year, those para- gons of wisdom, the Juniors, cheerfully inform us that we ain't seen nuthin' yetg just wait till next yearf' So we're just waiting-and hoping we'll still be around next year to see if they were right. SENIORS ' The fourth year was something of a surprise to the Chemical Engineers. Those of us who worked on a thesis in the Unit Operation found that we were taking a course with no chemistry involved. We Work for 'eight months without even seeing a beaker or a test tube. The undergraduate thesis courses seem to be conditioners which are made to get us used to setbacks and impasses. To mention a few of the setbacks: Joe Scovronek dropped his samples down the drain after spending six weeks preparing themg Milton F eldon ran afoul some government and bureaucracy and it took a whole semester to get samples of tobacco for his work in removing nicotine. He spent his time reading about nicotine, Nick Carter, etc. Geza Tauth could not do any ac- cu-rate analysis with the spectrograph until he prepared some extremely pure salt: time required, four months for three crystals. Seymour Lippman de- signed an apparatus for measuring the distance between molecules or was it the distance between the Earth and Jupiter? The completed apparatus brought in station WAAT perfectly. Cohen has developed a new com- pound and has spent several months purifying it to frnd out what it is.

All were ingenious but all were impractical. He finally settled for an empty baking powder can. It works perfectly. Thus the first semester passed easily. Few reports were required and life was pleasant. Before Christmas the Chemical Engineering Faculty was taken out to a dinner and bowling. A picked team of the faculty beat the Senior picked team two games to one. The second semester brought a complete change in life's easy routine.

Most of the men in the class are serving in industry in the battle of production. No member of the class has been drafted, but shortly after Pearl Harbor, Herb Brenner left school to join the Army Air Corps. August Marianello plans to do likewise as soon as the current academic year is complete.

Most of the class has remained in the school although the majority have been forced to take leaves from part of their schedules as their working hours increased. The men are serving in various capacities-James Broderick producing vanilla Havoring for the Army, Gerald Harbiter drafting at the Fort Mon- mouth Signal Corps laboratory, Nat Kahn in a similar position at the Brook- lyn Army Base. Norman working as a coppersmith on British Ships in the Navy Yard, Howard Newby, a chemist, at the General Foods Jersey plant which the Army may take over, Charley Attinson inspecting mechanical equipment at Kearny, N. J. The boys all wonder: How does Larry Radlow think up all those complicated methods of solving simple problems? Why doesn't Frank Rubin hire a lawyer instead of bothering Professor Jeffry every time the law class meets? How did the 3rd yr. Ch.E.'s get Brooks who started out as an lVl.E.g or lose Nat Kahn, who gave up the study of the masterful profession of Chemical Engineering to become an lVI.E.? How did Charley Attinson top the class in Mechanics during the fall semester while playing varsity basketball? What relation is there between the anecdotes fjokesj of Mr. Appuhn and the Calculus?

Fine group waded through the unending maze of homework and weird symbols typical of the first year course. Undaunted by numerous hardships and low marks the brave crew launched a major offensive on the second year. As they branched oiic into specialized courses in chemistry and chemical engineering, these embryonic engineers assumed the usual sophomoric atti- tude of intelligence. Slowly but surely they surmounted all the obstacles in the second year only to be faced with a third, and to them, a year full of challenges. This group, cut down slightly by minor misfortunes, entered the third year knowing but one thing, that was that they knew little. So with sleeves rolled up, slide rules oiled, and brains-well, you know about them-the Junior Chemical Engineers set out to conquer the third step towards their emergence as full fledged engineers. As in all classes, the Junior Ch.E.'s have traditions. One of the out- standing is Sid Solomon's traditional bad luck in laboratory sessions. Sid's career started in the first year with a dramatic pyrotechnic display in the sink with a volatile solvent. His recent successes include such apparatus as the Victor Meyer apparatus, analytical weights, and mishaps in the organic lab. This class also boasts of an orator, in the form of small but mighty Sol Meiselman. His successes in EE. Lab quizzes and class ulecturesf' known far and wide, are attributed to his ability to use words and plenty of them. Can this account for his success with the opposite sex? One of the many teams in the class is the team of Medon and Schmitt. As a squad in Phys Chem Lab their efliciency is endless. Medon claims his success in that lab hinges on his ability to write- reports, and most of all clear and concise abstracts. From appearances it seems as if Schmitt majored in sodium fusions in the Organic Lab, each one with dramatic and surprising results. It's 'a wonder no one was hurt. Sig Baczewski has proven himself a worthy candidate for the position of a successful engineer. We wonder how he can get so much work done, and still come in to class with both eyes open. For example compare Sig with our class sleepy head P. J. Pickett. We wonder how he can be so sleepy with so little work prepared. That cloud you saw in the Organic Lab all year was Joe Urban's dust. Joe Urban was the fourth member of the E.E. Lab. squad of lVIeisel- man, Schmitt, Solomon and Urban. Back in the peaceful days of 1936 when sixty of us -young, strong and healthy - looked forward to the crowning success of earning a diploma, 'no thought was given to our future other than dreaming of what great Chemi- cal Engineers we would be. Now, about half of us-older, weaker, and definitely not healthy-have reached the last step and find ourselves in the midst of a world embroiled in the meshes of destruction, where all the benefits of engineering Peter Cooper visualized in store for humanity are perverted to the height of shame by a few crazed leaders who strive for power by force. Now, as never before, qualified chemical engineers are needed by our country and we aim to contribute all that we can. But all the anxiety and worry of our last year only impresses more clearly in our mind the memories of the past that caused us great amuse- ment and delight. Who can forget the Freshman Dance and beer party - the intimate life discussions in Freshman Chem. Class with lVlr. Summer - Professor Hope's unique plan for 'cmakingn a blonde as applied to learn- ing Chemistry -- the enlightening and vivid discourses in Physics Class with A. B. Halsey - Professor Ball's remarkable theory of wasted time when one fellow late distracts the attention of two hundred class mates-the unheard of simplicity of I. C. T. in three easy lessons- the Bronx and Brooklyn dialects in German Class expressing deep concern over the fate of poor Gertrude -- the snap course of the year, Differential Equations - the queer fluctuations of marks in Organic Class - the coat-flapping, table banging, how-am-I-doin' speeches of Bob Stewart-and did you ever get an '6SSS', in the Electrical Engineering course? - the mysteries of mercury manometers and why they always blew in Chem Engineering Lab.-the 100 somebody got in Thermo - and last of all the Unit Operations course under the able Mr. Spooner. ' We, look back now on the good times and hard times we had at ol' Cooper but look forward to a hopeful future where once again we can pay our debt to Peter Cooper and help to spread his generous and kindly philoso- phy of life.

F, Kunz Prof. Clarence Sherman '- ' '37 'Z I 1 1 N ' X ENGINEERING The second year civil engineering students have been here for just short enough a period of time and are just large enough so as not to be known individually. Yet there are too small to be recognized as a group. Therefore it can be seen that after overcoming the difficulties of the first year, the second year Civil Engineers have advanced only to non-recognition. But there are, at least two outstanding identification marks. The first is the large A.S.C.E. pin, worn by all civil engineering students after the first year. It is the largest pin of all societies. For a time it seemed as if the first means of identification would be denied us due to the defense priorities, but before the semester ends We should all have our pins. The other is an oversized sheet of detail paper which only the second year civils carry, on which are mapped the results of a survey of some general area, said survey having been carried out by freshman. This past year our newly acquired Green Engineering Camp was surveyed and the present second year civil engineering students are mapping the results of the survey. At the present rate and judging by past achievements, this mapping will take some timeg but it is hoped, in all probability, it will be finished within the semester. On Friday afternoons the surveying drafting room 121-l fmore affec- tionally known as the bombproofj is not being used. By some coincidence we second year civil engineering students have no classes on Friday after- noons, during which we spend most of our 'Lfree timen drawing the map. For our small numbers we have a fairly good representation in school and extra curricular activities. Leon Weinberger is the '44 class president. He is also a member of the varsity fencing team. Petersen Verity fwho is a regular air raid wardenj and Weinberger are school air raid wardens. M. Platt is our worthy representative to the J. V. basketball squad. Martin Kline is the oldest member of the rifle team in respect to years of service and has the distinction of sporting the oldest letter in the school. Among the privileges enjoyed by the sophomore Civil Engineers we may list the following. We are positively not blessed with Fuels and Com- bustion. Once a week we become art students and enjoy the most exclusive privilege of riding up to the sixth floor. There is always a pleasant argu- ment with the elevator man, but we have as yet to lose, which would mean get- ting off at the fifth floor. Then too there are always the art students! We would be the last to forget them. When the faculty belives we are over- worked, they do the most obvious thing-they give us a vacation. This semester it was a weekend trip to the beautiful Ramapo Mountains, all ex- penses paid. To occupy our spare time we cruised about the countryside view- ing geological formations. During the coming summer we will be given the usual five weeks' vacation at Camp Green. So as not to be bored, we will do some surveying and some more geology field work on the side. JUNIORS Probably the smallest class in the history of the Civil Engineering De- partment entered the Junior Year with a total membership of two. The mem- bers of the class are Frank Squire, regular, and Walter Sittner, Hsuper- regularf' who is taking a full Third Year program plus Physical Metallurgy which he neglected to pass during the Sophomore year.

They also became immune to such sarcastic re- marks as '4What an enormous classf' and Why don't you use the Great Hall as a classroom? The Juniors have no wish to become smaller in number, but only hope that there will be two seniors in 713.

At first the class looked somewhat depleted with only two in the Water Supply class, but, as in each preceeding year, Lou Thaisz did it again. He finally squeezed into the class of '42 with some fancy juggling of the program. We held together despite numerous obstacles which sought to split us asunder. Much persuasion was needed to keep MMO from running off to Top-A Scheiner, G. Brooks, J. Coffey, E. Moller, M. Malchensen, M. Chernoi, A. Sielke, E. SchiHman. Bottom C Olson, S. Dulberg, A.

Lincer the Navy or Panama Canal before completing his course, Lou Thaisz was persuaded to refrain from joining the Air Corps prematurely and Harold Levenson, our scout extraordinary, has added fire fighting to his many talents and with much diliiculty has managed to spare time to attend classes be- tween sessions at his local firehouse. Harold Marks, our city planning and music expert and more socially minded member of the class, also arranged to squeeze in a couple of classes each day between dates. Although the advantages of a small class are many, it was lonesome at times, especially when the professor started to check up on who had done his homework and who knew his theory, no shirking being possible. It also was difficult to sleep in class, and many were the temptations. The senior year marked the renewal of friendship between Messrs. Orlick and Marks who were classmates way back in the 7B and were both Brooklyn Tech Alumni. Although the going, was hard, the C.E. class of '42 is thankful that they had the opportunity of studying under such a capable group of instruc- tors and swell bunch of fellows as those in the C.E. Dept. SENIORS ' Without any trumpeting or fanfare, the 6th year Civil Engineers re- turned to the annual grind on the night of September 15, 1941. We had just enjoyed a restful summer vacation and were looking forward to a sixth year as easy as the fifth. It was not long before this delusion disappeared and we were swamped with work. During the preceding five years many events transpired which will long remain in our memory. Ours was the first Civil Engineering class to depart from Saturday afternoon surveying. We traveled to Tugenot where with the New York University, we undertook an intensive two weeks course, with a uminimum of night workf' and, where even the color of your tie affected your final grade. Could this be the reason for Sam Deep Fryn Dulberg's success? After that nightmare we considered Dear Old Cooper with something akin to fondness. We found out that there are others more unfortunate than we are. The following year we were the uguestsv of the University of Maine for continued study in surveying. After being thrashed by The Cooper Union in baseball, the Maine students attempted to obtain revenge on the night of July 4, but were promptly squelched by a delayed explosive attack with cigarette butts. It was in this main locale that Erik Moller almost lost his ..- most prized possession, his moustache. Compared with the unhappy sojourn ofthe year before, the University of Maine was a veritable paradise. We will always look back with nostalgia to our experiences, especially the loss of the 3 degrees that couldnat be found, the time Max Chernoff was lost in the woods, the mosquitoes, MLollypop, the swamps,-Dear Old Maine! Also among the souvenirs of our memory is the night that this same Erik Moller flooded the C.E. lab trying to see how close he could make the water in the reservoir tank come to the top, also that very cryptic remark of one of our esteemed instructors, to vvit, lt's right-but it,s wrong. Our Class is unique because of its large size compared to previous Civil graduating classes. Like Gaul, it was divided into three parts, one consisting of Dulberg, Sielke and Hagedorn, another of Moller, Malchen- son, Birnbaum and Smiling Max Chernofl, and the third group of insepar- ables was Brooks, Lincer, Colley and Sleeply Olson. Cooperation origin- ally was restricted Within each group but gradually it spread, under the influence of Electrical Problems and Geodesy, to cooperation among groups. Closing in a serious vein, this class of '42 graduates amid blackouts, air raid alarms, etc. We sincerely hope that the turmoil in the world today does not mean a curtailment of the curricula at The Cooper Union, since we are in a good position now to realize what this will mean to all students and particularly to those in the fifth and sixth years. 93 Standing-M. Orlich, 4th C..E. Sitting-W. Sittner, F. Squire, 3 C.E.,s. Prof. Edward S. Sheiry Dept. Head Prof. Charles O. Roth FAC LTY K5 3 Nt The freshman class consists of twenty-five men and forty women. The men are all very handsome, very talented. The women are a gorgeous array of creatures too. They rank a choice collection of red-heads fa la ,laffei to the lovely blonde, Buttolph. Then we have a Mr. I. P. Canin who is dis- gustingly smart, Emily Nelligan, who is smart, and Stan Glaubach, who is just plain disgusting. Indeed, we can do everything expected and a few things that wegre not expected to do. p For instance, little Beryram Lief has buried his nose in a growth of moustache. Sadie is still wearing pants, and she soon will have Claire Engleberg and HA Weber in her status as oflicial pants wearers of the fresh- man class. Ronald Craik will run for vice-president, as usual, under the non-de-plume of Ronald the Rogue. Ann Duncan, Westchestefs gift to Coopah, represents the creme de la Societe. Hannah Adler is uThe Genius of the group. She managed to get A's in all her classes. Marion Craig and Ronald Craik, otherwise known as Craig 81 Craik, filled the offices of vice-president and secretary-treasurer of the Danc- ing Club luring many other people there on Thursdays. Ruth Rabinowitz has helped to promote the freshmen with the engineers too. Need I say more? Surely if we are not remarkable you must admit we are slightly peculiar. V SOPHOMORES Our eyes are open now, after a year in wonderment and a hazy dream known as the freshman, years. Years come and go but this has been no insignificant one for the sophomore class.

This is so at least for the iadvei-rising division of our class, for since the boys have left our midst to join the forces or to get a defense job the girls have gotten down to Work. Well, dicln't the Misses Sellner and Egemeier walk off with the poster contest prizes? Then there is that good looking, versatile gentleman from way down stairs, Joe Penewski, who had to go off to the army and break the hearts of all us girls-well E. R. fEsther Ramboj anyway. Then there's Briggsy, Mary to you, that little blonde charmer from Westchester, with the ever ready smile and the flair for playing boxball. Top-H. Altman, L. Reeves, C. Fisher, P. Canin, B. Lief, S.

Block, year, and now weire juniors! And next year we'll be seniors, and the year after that we'll be seniors, again, say, aren't we ever going to get out? Three years at Cooper have changed us very little, we're still afraid of subways and Mr. Shaw. Most of us wear shoes now, except Virginia Jack- son, she still wears boots. Bill Gardner, the only man in school whois built like an asparagus tip, became the proud owner of a lip toupee and now Dick Kissel is toying with the idea. The two have decided to grow en masse and sell them to the Russian General Staff. Helen Vallado and Clayre Romano are as inseparable as usual, and are usually to be found copiously swiping each other's ideas. At recess time on Friday the company of Gallagher, Marcus and Rider can usually be found in some dark corner solving current problems of the world, while in another corner Warshaw, Willig, and Blank decide which girlie show demands their presence more strongly during the following week. George Pickow is in a class by himself, Industrial Design. ,lack Ross changed from architecture to advertising and now leads impromptu jam sessions every Monday and Wednesday afternoons on the seventh floor, while on Thursdays Gee-Gee Marback guides the advocates of terpsichore through the intricacies of their chosen pastime. That blithe spirit, Barbara Good has finally done it. Yep, sheis now married to a guy named J oe. Con- gratulations, Mrs. Whitton. Alex Zilbert and Everett Larson succumbed to the call of the Army and the Marines respectively, thus splitting up that gruesome twosome of muscle and more muscle. Bud Bileck joined the Army and Dan Brockhuizen is also in the service, as is Bill Gardner, who volunteered in the parachute troops. Alas, McSorley's will never be the same. T H A k , H. K ff, F.

It's so hard to believe-four years since we entered The Cooper Union as timid freshmen! We all begin to wonder just what we have accomplished in those years and a lot of us have misgivings. Let this be a reminder, then, for future reference to just what we did do. The Cooper Union now has a well known fencing team. Much credit for this can go to Jeanne Dagit, Irene Nyski and Ed Casarella, all Art School seniors. Jeanne is also feature editor of this year's CABLE. Ed too, has risen to fame, not only as a fencer but as Art Editor of the CABLE. We must not forget Ed Jastram either. He conducted one of the most popular columns The Pioneer ever had. From his interviewing of famous people, Ed rose to Pioneer editorship. While he was editor The Pioneer went through a modernizing process, thanks to David Soshensky and Herbert Karpoff who designed our new school paper. . Betty Alden was the sweetheart of the engineers while she was Day Art School Editor of The Pioneer, and rightfully so, for didn't she help to solve their problems? But now, of course, her heart belongs to Herby. Lillian Capra was president of our senior class. She was a valuable member of the student council too, acting as treasurer, and helped to plan the annual dance. We owe a vote of thanks to Natalie Smith too, who was one of the best workers in the class. She was co-chairman of the Annual Dance this year, secretary of the Senior Class, and her enthusiasm for basket- ball led her to join the cheering squad. We had our class parties, too. As sophs we gave the Gaslit Caieties, last and best of the big Art School affairs. Then as seniors we came back with the help of the young blood in the third year, and gave the Comic Strip Party. But our greatest contributions were made by those boys of our class who left for the service of their country before they could finish with the rest of us. Louis Artale was first to go and is now in the army. Norman Harris, our popular president for three years, is now a mere private, and Bill Lief and Carl Peterson have enlisted in the Air Corps. I Maybe we we-ren't the cleverest or the greatest senior art class, but we kind of liked knowing each other and going to Cooper together. Third Year Night Art-Standing Paul Piech. Seated-Jose Con. zales, Rita Long. X Well, rest yourself, Peter, we're here . . . The Class of ,45 . . . Some- thing new has been added to a famous institution . . .Usl What? We make too much noise. So what, it adds tone to the school. The halls are a little messy . . . What have we got sophomores for? What have we done for the school? We'll tell you in a few short sen- tences. We contributed the two basketball stars of the season . . . Chick Segalla and Dub Ziebel. After all, which class gave you the blonde of the year-the engineers, dream girl. We did. Her name-Marie Thomas. Which class gave lVlcSorley,s er, ah, the Cooper Union Supply Store, the greatest amount of business this year-That's us. Well that's enough of what we have done. Now on to what we are going to do, Why 'right now under your very noses are developing the Norman Rockwells, the Rodins, and the Frank Lloyd Wrights of tomorrow. Why in a few years you won't be able to read an art magazine without finding our names in them. Why- But wait-seriously speaking, we're glad to be here-The Cooper Union is swell-the instructors are tops and if the next three years are as beneficial and as much fun as this one has been, we'll want to do it all over again. SOPll0M0llES The survival of the frttest is not the slogan on our banner, but we have survived the first and second years at The Cooper Union. We know now the difference .between the fifth and sixth floors. The sixth has models! The difference between the Art School Library and the Student Lounge-well, the Lounge has Esquire. But enough of this fiddle daddle and shina marooshaa, filaga dusha, faldaralda boom too deay and letis get to brass tacks. fOops, is there priority on those too?j The mortality rate of the second year Night Art has been slightly terrific. What with getting sacked and joining the lighting forces of Uncle Sam, our ranks have been thinned down quite a bit. As is the custom with these annual scribblings we must throw a couple of bouquets round about. Our nominations for the fems of the hour are, Ginny Giblin, who certainly can swing a mean- jive on the Waxed boards, and Evelyn Mussehl, the blond of the Terrific Three, who simply rolls those big brown eyes and, wow! Evie Keity is the gal that picks them up and lays them down, a fast stepper, and a real good sport. The tall silent he-men are crystallized in one blond ski and sailing enthusiast, Al Weiby. Vince Di Giacomo, the mighty mite of Cooper, is struggling along as Sports Editor of the Pioneer. They say he tried to interview Coach Tony De Phillips one night but he couldnlt get a stool high enough. But all kidding aside, we really are a serious group that like to have our moments of fun. We all realize our purpose here at The Cooper Union and are striving with all the strength and knowledge we can master to achieve the goal ahead. That is graduation with honor-for The Cooper Union and for ourselves. Friends we have been making aplenty. Some of them are surely becoming very dear to us and will ever be with us in the years ahead. The two years that have gone by have not dulled our spirits, rather they have whetted our appetite and thirst for more and still more of the learning and comradeship these great halls hold. Our hearts are ever looking ahead. And the two years that lie before us will, we are sure, be resplendent with glory and achievement for us and ours. The Cooper Union will surely be proud of the uClass of 'lllll' as we are proud and grateful to be a part of it. Fzrst Year Night Art-Top Row-A. Cohen, A. Taxier, L. Bellin, E. Berkowitz, A.

JUNIORS In every preceding issue of the CABLE, the Junior Class more or less always proceeded to make a sizeable splash throughout these pages. This year it will be different, because somehow We feel like telling the truth. Maybe it,s the times, or maybe it's the class, but whatever it may be, we are truthfully the most undistinguished class in the history of the Junior Classes of The Cooper Union. Outside of a few individuals, we can make no claim to any class victory, no class super-intelligence, and certainly no class superiority. Perhaps because we come to Cooper at night, when all is silent and still, our minds and spirits are forever tired. When all ambition to participate in college life lies dormant within us, all we want are simple things, knowl- edge and good comradeship.

Of course we boast of those few who, driven by some unknown factor, have given to the school what we claim as our gift. We talk of Paul Piech, Vice-President of the Student Council, Manager of the Track Club and a member of the Athletic Association. We are proud that our Mildred Gansberg is a member of the Pioneer Staff and the chairlady of Gold MC . We boast of Rita Long, who is co-chairman of the Annual Dance Cornmitteef She is also our vice-president. We are always glad to recall the efforts that Mel Holzager, together with Paul Piech and Albert Grega, made to start the Track Club. Today Mel is our class secretary.

S. circula- tion editor of the Pioneer as Well as a reporter, a member of the Annual Dance, Class Night, Gold HC , defense committees, and other activities. He has come to our class from the day session, and is presently employed by the school as a member of the library staff. The Night Art Editor of the Pioneer is a member of our class, Norris Slotkin. Some of his cartoons have raised more than a little rumpus. And so we could go on for each and every member of the class has done his or her little bit to make the lives of all of us a bit happier during our stay at Cooper. One and all, we feel that these past three years at The Cooper Union have been very pleasant to all of us. We all feel that we have gained some- thing more than mere 'knowledge of our chosen field, namely, good friends and memories of Cooper to the day when we are old and gray. SENl0RS Soon the day will come when we will be able to crawl into bed at ten o'clock instead of crawling into a sleepy subway and going home. Of course, for some this ten oiclock curfew may be compulsory, as well as a five o'clock reveille in the United States Army. In the interim they may think about how swell it was to be a Cooper with nary a worry, nary a care as long as Ez Shaw didn't catch them out of class. Next year the Senior Night Art School will be overrun with females, with all the opposite sex serving under Old Glory. This will show how preposterous are some of the claims for exemption advanced by a few of the eligible juniors now in Night School. J oe Whitton claims that he has a wife, a dog, and two puppies to support. Speaking of wolves fWeren't we?j, there's a fellow on the sixth floor whose name is Zoltan Kiss but changes to Wolf every time he meets a girl. He is just one of the many, however. One of our hardest-Working students, outside of regular class activity was the amiable Ed Casarella, who, with the help of Dick Kalkman, really planned the visual appearance of the present CABLE. The advertising sec- tion of the Night Art School was especially active in extra-curricular doings, and despite the lack of time, our class has definitely proved itself valuable in school affairs. l ' ' ' .wp Mrs. Carol Harrison George Salter GRADUATES DN be 'T' W, if if' 'I' Q , 'fa .F 5 : ,. 51, ww, fl 4, 7 t, NL X if A - V , vm. f , ,fg 3g,.,fZ ' 5 I , A 39 A' ' My AW I Q , '1 rw QQ.

The things we remember won't be directly applicable to our later life or jobs but they will serve as a reservoir for picturesque yarns. Among our number was, by the way of distinction, the first engineering class to demand a ride in that square peg in a round hole -the ev-elator. We dared to be exclusive too, when as art school freshmen we held our Hobo party alone, excluding all others. As freshmen girls we also underwent the usual close scrutiny and cross examination that all worthy Cooper females will experi- ence till abolition of the Inter-Fraternity Reciprocal Trade Agreement. The establishment of lunch rooms in the senior year not only was of value in that a place was provided for the completion of homework and the ferreting out of class-room arguments, but it also brought out once and for all the complete and necessary incompatibility of art and engineering student. Too well remembered is homework, otherwise known as oil for the lamps of the engineers and something for which Artists were never at loss, thanks to our conscientious HProfs. As we leave we take much of Cooper with us, part of our very charac- ter. The tide of time will gradually rise and cover the sands across which we have trod in our journey through college life. As it recedes it will leave only those hill-born thoughts, the sweet nostalgia of the alumni. JM It is dimcult to understand how Dante Accino can maintain his ever pleasant smile after six hard years in Cooper Union. Besides being one of the class humorists, Dan found time to be active on the riiie team as well as being a member of both the A.S.M.E. and the S.A.E. One will never forget Dan's dis- like for ammeters in the Elec- trical Engineering Laboratory- it seems that those instruments have maximum ratings. MQ. Dick Barret has the ambition of most all engineer's, that is, to make money. However, this quiet Ch.E.lintends to become a capi- talist. He claims that all his best friends have either flunked out or have moved away. Per- haps this has led him to his beer drinking habits.

Fred Ceely is Mr. Raddin's fav- orite art critic and essayist. He lives for only two things: food and someone called Eileen. Always well groomed and well dressed, he was a consulting engineer of the Ford Instrument Com- pany, and hopes eventually to 'be- come a manufacturing executive.

In industry he is associated with a manufacturer of hoisting machinery, but still does not know what a sky-hook Mya 0 cm- EW .lohn Coiey once had the nick- name of Long John , but it was shortened to Jack . He'1I be remembered more for the quantity of puns rather than the quality. As a charter member of the Friday Night Elbow Bend- ers Club he would rather argue the merits C ?J of the Giants over a glass of beer than pull in the stakes of a poker hand. Jack kept himself awake by dropping his pencil on the floor when he started to doze, but still has managed to finish his course in the minimum time. twist Gerald Cohen, the class comedi- an, was born in the Bronx, but realizing his mistake soon moved to Brooklyn. Even since he has come to Cooper, he has been known as the condensed version oi the Handbook of Physics and Chemistry and Janes' En- cyclopedia of Fighting Ships . fSome day Jerry hopes to be an admiral.J His favorite subject is wimrnin 'g they all succomb to his sunny disposition and ever present smile. Good luck to you, Jerry! We'll be missing you. Edgar L. Demarest, the Super Suds Scientist, is considered one of the favored few of our group, for he is the proud possessor of a fine little family. He will long be remembered by his classmates for his spontaneous figures of speech, which served to brighten their darkest moments. With an- other mad student of Physical Chemistry, he reached a pinnacle of scholastic achievement with his unique method of producing Sodium Hydroxide from nothing --honest to goodness! 601 of William Bill Derganc, our budding communications engi- neer has gotten a fine start in that Held as a ham CWZIYYJ, but has, since the wartime re- strictions on amateur radio, turned his interests to photog- raphy. Bill likes to play base- ball, and go Fishing. The bat- tered old fedora Bill wears must protect a fine intellect since Bill is one of the chosen few who have been elected into M.A.O. He is also an active member of the A.I.E.E. 1 i WMM ww... ter James Murphy Comins, tall, blonde, and quiet, does get around. He's had to, to be able to travel from Plainsiield, N. J., and back each day. Jim has helped make our class one of the best that has come to The Cooper Union, being one of the record breaking number of men in the Electrical Engineering Class who succeeded in passing the course in four years, and ob- tained membership in the M.A.O. He is also a member of the A.I.E.E. Andrew J. Draves can truly be called a night owl because of the fact that for several years before entering The Cooper Union he had been attending another night school. As a result of this it has been whispered that his eyes gleam in the dark, but this is pure heresay. He is one of the many senior Ch.E.'s who has suc- cumbed in the battle of the sexes. At present Andy is em- ployed as an assistant engineer at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 9 .132-a,J8df Samuel Dulberg, nicknamed Generalissimo or Coordinator because his methodical precision is phenomenal. This, and his thoroughness have made him the cross reference of the sixth year Civil Engineering Section. If your answer checks with Sam, you can hand it ing you may be sure that it is right. Sa1n's suc- cess in school is attested to by the fact that he is a member of the A.S.C.E. and of the honor society M.A.0. K MMM! Bernard Eisenberg is one of those fellows who go around camouflaged, that this, he can't be seen in class, but how you can hear him! He hails from the lowlands of Brooklyn and was once an aspiring Aeronau- tical Engineer but was side- tracked into Chemical Engineer- ing in his 8th term of High School. Bernie has never been sorry. Everyone likes Bernie for his agreeable disposition, and we feel sure that he will be a credit to The Cooper Union. Milton Feldon was horn in Spring- field, but has lived in Massachu- setts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey - and nnally the Bronx. During the summer he earned a living in various ways -peddling ice cream, being a research chemist, waiting on tables in a camp, etc. Despite all this, Milton managed to get through Cooper. He is chock full of enthusiasm, and many times made his classmates laugh with his favorite explosive, un- expected phrases, Hey teach! and I don't get it. Uv Sam Feldman, with pencil and T square, has valiantly battled in defense of our country in a far corner of Brooklyn, known as the Navy Yard. Feldman feels that the field of drafting is a solid stepping stone to the great- er goal to which he aspires. With his savoir faire, or is it 1aissez faire ? in this subject, Sam ought to be able to step far and well. Like most other stu- dents of the electric and mag- netic phenomena, Sam is a mem- ber of the A.I.E.E. Norm Fine is one of the few Chemical Engineers who never permitted the ardors of night school work to furrow his brow. Possessor of a keenly analytical mind, he can usually see the most direct method of solving a problem. His weaknesses are his pipe and those inevitable mocca- sin-toed shoes. He has worked for the past three years as an analyt- ical chemist and is at present connected with a firm of consult- ing chemists and engineers. vw ,bl-08 Laurin G. Fischer has the dis- tinction of being the youngest member of the graduating class. He is a natural funster, and his cheerful nature, he says has been the only thing that keeps him going when the midnight oil gives out. Laurie is the optim- istic chap, who, in his freshman year had the Cooper Union '42 buttons made up. He is an ac- tive member of the A.I.E.E. and is determined to fill his ambition to become a top-notch Electrical Engineer. fade? Tall and slender, dark and quiet -tell him a joke, and he'll do his best to laugh at it-that's Irving Franklin. Irving once had feet like Fred Astaire until he was seized with the desire to become a Mechanical Engineer. However, he can still be induced to pirouette and fovete for us once in a while, in sedate places like the M.E. Lab. Once when asked his supressed ambition, he merely winked and said that it was supressed. Everybody knows Robert Frank- lyn as a good guy, quiet and unassuming. Although desig- nated a Hconhrmed bachelor, he loves blonds, claims they're his hobby although exactly how he pursues it we are not sure. Being connected with the power divi- sion of the Board of Transpor- tation keeps him pretty busy. Although worn out after a hard day, he still manages to pay at- tention in classes and rarely falls asleep. ,631-z,ff5Z,4:1.J Charlie I want to see an opera Frornm strives for the higher things in life. Nothing does he enjoy more than an occasional opera or Shakespearian play. Blessed with a Well-lubricated tongue, he will talk about the opera weeks before and after the occurrence. Instructors and classmates are firmly convinced that at one time he swallowed a dictionary. At the present time, he is a upipingi' engineer at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. W? 70 Lewis W. Gleekman has been one of the most active members of the Ch.E's., having been presi- dent of the German Club, secre- tary of the A.l.Ch.E., President of the senior class, and Presi- of the Student Council. Some call him Gleek , the girls call him handsome. But any of the following might be better used to describe him: loyal, energetic, studious and fun-loving. Lew is a regular fellow in every sense of the word, as is 'shown by his popularity throughout school. IJ, Joe Gleitsman is one of those say little, do much fellows. Joe's pleasant personality has made him one of the most lik- able men in the class. For the past six years he has held a position in the Bell Telephone Company as assistant engineer. Starting in June, Joe begins a new job with the Hercules Pow- der Co., as a Junior Chemical Engineer. If Joe will fit his new job in the same smooth way he can bowl, heill be chief engineer in no time. W Bernard Goldberg is a small town lad from Passaic who rose to be Vice-President of the Senior Class. He is one of the few M.E.'s who have their work done on time throughout the year. Bernie loves cats, dogs, Hanzalek, Kass, and Ceely. The audacity and daring, of Curly Locks , still is a major topic 'with the class, for he has a green and yellow tie which he once wore to lunch with Professor Young. Here lies the most weighty of all M.E.fs. ZZ! Irwin Irv Goldstein has been the E.E. Pioneer representative for the past four years. He may always be found solving a crypto- gram,, coded message, or cross- word puzzle. This puzzle fan comes from Brooklyn and maybe that explains it. Irv likes to debate, V especially with instruc- tors, and frequently his voice is heard from the back of the room with one of his ubiquitous ap- propriate comments. Irwin is an active member of the A.I.E.E. x9.1azafLf.4, Stan Gordon, in spite of his 6'2 is still striving to climb higher. His greatest contribu- tion to The Cooper Union was the blood, sweat, toil, and tears he gave in attempting to put to- gether Smellazapoppin for the 1941 Freshman Reception. Even though he appreciates a good joke or pun, he is also a wizard at quantitative analysis. It's no wonder he chose as his thesis, The Volumetric Analysis of Cy- nate in the Presence of Cyanide. N . Jacob Grossman is a patriotic Mechanical Engineer who is helping our country win the war as an inspector in the United States Army. Although he is one of the quietest fellows in the class he is a lot smarter than he looks, ranking among the first in scholarship. During the win- ter he spends his spare time bowling and in the summer he can be found down at Rockaway admiring the girls. Up until the present he has not been tied down by any of them. W ,lohn Hagedorn is one of the more studious members of the C.E. class. His drafting ability is one reason that our defense program has progressed as rapid- ly as it has. .lohn's greatest prob- lem was to reconcile a C.E. report to conform to It's right, but it's wrongf' In spite of a tough schedule at work, John became a member of the A.S.C.E. as soon as he could, serving as it's Treasurer for a year, and is a member of the M.A.O. We If you had seen a cluster of E.E.'s, resembling in sight and sound a tribe of swarming bees, and if you had been inclined to use subway tactics and elbow your way to its center, you would have been sure to find Fred Herr trying to enlighten the other souls on the deep and shocking mysteries of electricity. Fred has managed to be a top-rank- ing student in spite of his out- side activities, having been, in particular, class president sev- eral times. My fa Sanford Red,' Hershield has been loaned to us for the past four years by Mayor Hague. Sandy is by no means old-fash- ioned although he is forced to admit that there are still gas street lights in front of his house in Jersey City. Sandy likes ice- skating, and does very well by a piano. His humor is equaled only by his laugh, which may be heard in Catalina on a clear day. He is a member of L.S.K. and is Vice-President of the A.I.E.E. Completing the Electrical Engi- neering course in four years has not been enough to keep Frank Himmer fully occupied. He has been active in the A.I.E.E. the last few years and this year has been its president. As such he has helped his fellow students broad- en their engineering knowledge and aided in their preparation for entrance into the mysterious region the field . Frank is well liked by his classmates for his friendly attitude and constant cheerfulness. KL! 72 Edward H. Hofmann, one of the outstanding M.E.'s of the night seniors, is known for his ability to cooperate with his fellow stu- dents in all matters involving work. Ed has seen service on the Rifle Team, the Pioneer and the Gold C Committee, having a gold Cv of his very own. Ed belongs to the P.S.O. Fraternity and is known for his stamp col- lection which he never shows. He also claims that he can work best when listening to a light opera or a waltz on the radio. Eugene Huchital regards his fu- ture very airily, for he is afiili- ated with the U. S. Army Air Corps, and studies aeronautics in the Mechanical Engineering course. He probably has the most unusual hobby in the school, for he is working on the design of a thirty horsepower plane of his own. For outdoor relaxation Hitch likes to get away occasionally to hunt and fish. The A.S.M.E. and S.A.E. meetings would indeed have been forlorn without his presence. Ernst .luhl, Virginia farmer, Flat- bush Faithful, Associate Editor of the 194-2 CABLE, and fuse- blower extraordinary has been diligently pursuing the course in Electrical Engineering during the lulls in his rather hectic social life. Ernst continuously wears his hat and coat to pre- vent his being ensnared in one of his mythical fire-traps. He is a member of the A.I.E.E. and during the past year has been Vice-president of the Omega Delta Phi Fraternity. 1 MWF M 1 Here is Phil Kass, who cornered the brain market as a youngster and has held on to it ever since. This likeable fellow has a finger in many pies, as the saying goesg besides varisity and intramural basketball, Phil has found time to complete a scholastic record characterized by the letter HA . Phil also wins the sartorial ac- colade for his class, the Day M.E.'s with ease, although the sensitive taste might judge some of his color combinations garish. JL! Herbert Kirshbaum of' the Der- ganc-Barlow-Kirshbaum trio, is a strong conservative element of the Electrical Engineering sec- tion, and has our vote for Fred MacMurray's double, w h i c h might be the reason for his popu- larity in the Activities Plan of- fice. Herb is the Bursar or the M.A.O. He likes baseball and turned in a creditable perform- ance as intramural manager and umpire. Herb's musical prefer- ences are anything-and Bach. He is an active member of the A.I.E.E. and L.S.K. 7 an In spite of a fulltime job work- ing in the day and school at night, Fred Kitty found time to devote to a considerable amount of extra curricular work. Two years ago he was treasurer of the Activities Plan, then in it's Hrst year. His success in this office was followed by his ap- pointment as business manager of the Pioneer. lndustry will readily find a niche for his ag- gressiveness and clear thinking so well used in The Cooper Union activities. E-was 3- Murray Klamkin, also known as Klammy , is one of the busiest men in the Senior Class having taken part in a great many ac- tivities, as may be shown by the fact that he holds a gold 'C'. Mathematics is his favorite sub- ject-give him any equation un- der the sun, and when he is fin- ished with it, he will either have proved that one equals one or that it cannot be solved. We hope he won't be fed up with mathematics when he finishes his thesis, Infra-Red Drying of Solids . - , KMA, David Klein started out in the Day School of Engineering with a long list of school activities topped by winning the Gold HC . He was President of the A.A., a member of the Pioneer staff and the A.I.Ch.E. He starred on a championship water polo team in his freshman days, and now as a night student he is resum- ing his aquatic activities in the life-saving class. After sleeping, his pet forms of relaxation are drinking beer and admiring blondes. Marisa Professor Milton Klein is God's gift to the facultyg there hasn't been one detail, practical or theoretical, which Milt hasn't explained to the unfortunate in- structor who brought it up. This jitterbug from Brooklyn has the largest existing collection of catalogs on Mechanical Engineer- ing subjectsg he literally hounds the manufacturers. It is remark- able that this fiddle player's keen analytical mind can produce the corny jokes that Milton is re- sponsible for. Fred Kohler is the explosive type. As long as he agrees with you, all is quietg but if he doesn't Beware, He will practically shout you down, wave his hands and go into a long winded, com- plicated and intricate explana- tion of why you're wrong and he is right. Einstein has nothing on him. All kidding aside, Fred is a swell guy, full of ambition and loads of fun. We are sure that in the field he will be a credit to The Cooper Union and quickly climb to the top. Good luck Fred. GEL! D4-Jim Robert Konigsberg is carrying on a family tradition in coming to Cooper. His two brothers, Irwin and Jack, both of the night school, and he have a ham station at home CWZIVQJ . Bob has been elected to the M.A.O., and is a member of the A.I.E.E. He's a whiz at math in general and in calculus in par- ticular. He doesn't like jazz, but has a soft spot in his musical heart for piano concertos. Bob likes baseball, and tennis is his racket. wifi! Norman Koretz is a quiet, good- natured fellow. In fact, some times we think he doesnit kick enough. Norm hopes someday to be a control chemist and claims that his favorite hobby is sleep- ing-a noble one indeed. He is very democratic but feels it is a bit unfair to require a twenty- f0Ll1' hour day of anyone. Among the activities which have gone to fill up this long day are the A.I.Ch.E. of which he is a mem- ber, the CABLE, and the Pioneer Board of control. Sig Kovaleski is the class skep- tic. His favorite statement is Prove it,', and there the trouble begins. He has developed the wonderful faculty of making a fellow with the right solution think that it is wrong. Sig usually manages to straighten things out to his own satisfac- tion, but he surely leaves the rest of us feeling uncertain. An ardent bowler, his only complaint during the senior year was that we didnit have time or energy for any bowling sessions after school. Milton Krajewski has been able to maintain his sense of humor and his radiant smile throughout the years. He is dependable, con- sistent, and has acquired the abilities and knowledge which will aid him in achieving a suc- ful career. Also, he is a member of the A.S.M.E., and S.A.E. At present he is employed as a de- sign draftsman of heat exchange equipment for the Griscom Rus- sell Co. 1 5 Edward Krukiel, the silent part- ner of the night E.E. class, never failed to make his presence known by being the first to pre- sent his solutions to Professor Towle's humdinger problems. He will have little to worry about as he passes for the last time through the portals of the Cooper Union. CNo he is not going to be kicked throughl. Do not infer from this that Krukiel is a grind, for in addition to his school activities he ranks as quite a sports enthusiast. t ,Z Cal Lasky is one of the very few men who has ever been known to write a report the same night that the experiment was performed. QVery convenient.J Inasmuch as he was one of the class genii, he became a mem- ber of M.A.O. In addition to school work he manages to be an expert sailor when he has the time. He is very interested' in farmingg and, in contrast, plans to become a designer of airplane accessories. aaa., KW Alfred Laufer is one of those rare chaps whose disposition and waistline have flourished during his sojourn at The Cooper Union. His motto in the laboratory was Don't bother copying that data, I'll have it photostatedn. His work at school has been high- lighted by his participation in extra-curricular activities, having been a member of the A.S.M.E., Vice-president of the S.A.E., and prior of A.M.S. fraternity. QQZM-fa?-fff Harold E. Levenson is the pace setter of the four horsemen that constitute the day C.E. class and has held his Schweinberg Scholarship for four years. The Brain insisted that the 4-th year schedule was too simple and en- deavored to add several extra courses, but was fortunately over- ruled. The class encyclopedia knows 'fpii' to 21 digits and at- tempted to emulate Steinmetz by memorizing the log tables. 6- Possessing all the necessary qualities such as initiative, self- confidence and the ability to err at the proper moment, Martin Lewson is undoubtedly one of our most promising engineers. Martin can win an argument with anyone except Professor Young. But then-who can? In the laboratory Martin is indis- pensible. What could we do without him? is on the mind of everyone. But he goes right along bending instrument needles, and getting tied up with intricate wiring. Among the top ranking Me- chanical Engineering students is M.A.O. member Sidney U. Lie- ber. Sid seemed at home in every class, and his record testifies amply that appearances did not lie. He is an avowed lover of good music, which to Sidis open mind, includes everything from Bach to Boogie Woogie. Known to fellow M.E.'s for his distinc- tive chuckle fa tremulous alto affairl, he is preeminently a suc- cessful student and a piano player. Introducing Eugene V. Leonard -a sincere, likeable chap, with endless stores of energy. Gene worked every evening after school during his four years, and still found time for his assign- ments. By the admission of the good Doctor himself, Gene was one of Prof, Peterson's best students in Social Philosophy, which -proves that an engineer can have a variety of intellectual attainments. His quiet humor was well known and appreciated by the rest of the Day M.E.,s. WWW Mac to his friends is the struc- tural engineer of the F.N.E.B.C. fFriday Night Elbow Benders Club. See Brooks, Coffey and Olsen.l It is to his credit that Maxwell Lincer still maintains his, sense of duty to homework. In his own quiet way he has everything sealed and delivered before the rest of us have started, be it homework or a poker pot. He has but one failing, that of sleeping in Electrical Engineer- ing Class Cor is it a failing?J. WWW Seymour Lippman started his training for a Chemical Engi- neering career at an early age by bringing home boiler parts and blowing out main fuses in the apartment house. Accuracy at any cost is his favorite slo- gan. He is a former member of the Priestly Society and Vice- president of the A.I.Ch.E. All in all, he is a very likeable chap full of ambition, and c.c.c. Ccalm, collected, and confidentj. There is a brilliant future in store for him if he keeps up the good work. We're with you Sieg . S-57411-44-c4,, Ernest G. Lucken, is one of those Mechanical Engineers who are always dashing about for an A.S.M.E. or S.A.E. meeting. Being in the transportation field Ern is always on the go. He cer- tainly gets around and does things. A member of the honor society, M.A.O., he likes to tem- per the seriousness of the class- room with well timed puns, which are usually at the expense of the instructor. With Lucken as lab foreman the tests go off like clockwork. fwgffff Okiafew- 2 Z, l l 76 Martin Malchensen is the class misfit, for he spends his spare time studying electronic physics. Martin has built his own Geiger- Muller counter to count elec- trons passing a given point in a given period of time. Though those exasperating bits of in- fintesimal matter are enough to keep Professor Einstein preoc- cupied, Martin has not neglected his school activities, being a member of the A.S.C.E. and the Track Club. Incidently Martin holds the shot put record of The Cooper Union. Lewis Charles Marino is one of the Chemical Engineer's out- standing athletes. To the best of our knowledge he has been a member of the soft ball team for at least four years. It is also said that he enjoys a game of tennis, provided it is a love game with the girls. Lew has been a pillar of strength both in the A.I.Ch.E. and in the P.S.O. fra- ternity. His fraternity brothers tell us that his favorite diversion is music, his tastes ranging from Beethoven to Barrelhouse. x Harold Marks is the only C.E. to have already held down a gov- ernment job, having worked this p8.St Summer BS an 3.SSlSIaI'lt draftsman for the. War Depart- ment. He always reprimanded the other members of the class for coming to school so early C9:45J! Harold's hobbies are classical music, the ballet, and, oh yes, girls. Architecture being his irst love, Harold would like to combine the incompatibles, Civil Engineering and Architec- ture in a city planning career. Erik the Red , member of the A.S.C.E., lighted and slightly slap-happy, takes things too seriously. Never right but al- ways charmingly wrong, gravi- tated by argument, Erik S. Muller will argue about any- thing and everything with any- one and everyone. Shoveling is old time stuiig he pumps it. Clf you want to buy a pump, a centrifugal pump-HB. J. for a Better .l0b. J A Ralph Maslow is a man who can win you with his smile. H is sincere yet lives a double life Cooper and a wife. A fellow must sleep sometimes and Ralph has solved this problem very well. He goes into a trance in class and lets his subconscious mind do the work. This method undoubtedly works for he more than makes the grade. During daylight hours he protects our democracy by making sure that all converted naval vessels have the necessary equipment on board. Wogeuwttkr John Matcovich, the great little powerhouse of the Mechanical Engineers was the recipient of a Schweinburg Scholarship, which he held,for the entire four years. In spite of this evidence of his good scholarship, John feels that among the important things he learned while at The Cooper Union was how to bowl, his score rising from a poor eighty to a robust I60. John, inciden- tally, is the youngest member of the graduating class. WM' 4 J-LJ Something none of his classmates will ever forget is the way Sam Mehlman by a few well aimed witticisms can completely dis- rupt the gravity of any group of which he is a member. In- this respect his only close competitor is Irwin Goldstein. Most of Sam's wisecracks have been on the subjects of farming or finance. Even the instructors hesitate to argue with Sam after once try- ing his mettle. Seriously, how- ever, Sam is lots of fun as can be attested by his fellow L.S.K. members. John Mihalik is known about the school - at least in some parts - because he is a very conscientious worker. He never leaves an assignment' undone, never comes unprepared, and is always ready with his contribu- tion in all his night E.E. classes. He is not, however, what might be denominated a whiz , On the contrary, he manages to get his work done by slow and methodical effort. He is, and this is a very good character- istic, slow but sure . David Miller has the enviable distinction of having an active social life together with his school activities during his stay at night tech. His capabilities in both pursuits are evidenced by the high esteem in which he is held by both his instructors and fellows students. In his ca- pacity as president of the newly formed S.A.E. society he has done much towards the promo- tion of membership and inter- est in the society. Dave plans to be a Power Plant designer in industry. Carl Mistron is respected by his class for his exceptional ability as a tool designer, and for his willingness and ability to iron out some bugs in a design problem. In his spare time he could always be found relaxing after the cares of the' day at his fraternity, Omega Delta Phi, in which he has held several offices. He holds a responsible position as a production Engineer in a National Defense Industry. All in all, Carl is One grand fellown. adam David Lionel Morris, Dave to his friends was originally in the Day School. While there, he was Secretary of his Freshman Class, and manager of the Varsity Basketball team. He was a mem- ber of the Rifle Team and Cap- tain of the team during the 1939- 40 season. The Art School saw a great deal of him until he transferred to the Night School. Some day Dave plans to com- plete his recordings library, to build a boat, and to help Margie, his wife, raise their family. ' 1 77 John Nicholson is a dyed-in-the wool yachtsman, a windjammer as they go, sailboats being his hobby. He sails and races boats on Long Island Sound all summer, and when Winter comes he builds and rebuilds them. When he isn't sailing, Nick is all tangled up in the spiral heat ex- changer, his thesis problem, and erring pledges of O.D.P. Fra- ternity. His ever cheerful smile and willingness to help others have won him a host of friends. We see for him a great success in his profession. M XJZMW al! Herbert A. Niedhammer, the fashion plate of the class, is an- other commuter from New Jer- sey. There is no doubt that Herbert will succeed. He has led a full life while at Cooper Union. Not only is he a good student but he has also spent much time in extra-curricular activitiy. He is a member of O.D.P., the A.S.M.E., and the S.A.E. An enviable quality that Herbert possesses is that he can solve the most diliicult problem and make you believe that it is easy. ,X Howard Novak is a day M.E. whose contribution to National Defense was holding wool for an Art School girl. This Flash Gordon of the senior class bas- ketball team also played basket- ball with Corrado, Weisskopf, Roalef, and their Art School friends. Oft were the times that he spoke to Mr. Scottron about boats, and, in particular, about his boat. An alliterative sum- mary of his school life is: boats, boxing, basketball, and boxball. Charlie is the class politician, having held many offices in- cluding the presidency of O.D.P. and membership in the Friday Night Elbow Benders Club. Charles Olson further holds the distinction of being able to read a slide rule to seven places. His favorite 'pastime is agreeing with instructors while under the ef- fects of Morpheus. He managed to retain his bachelor status un- til the fateful night of December 12, 1941, when a certain young lady received an A-1-A rating. afw.. , Patrick Orlando is the quiet, music loving, New Jersey com- - muter who on most occasions managed to uphold what little has remained of the dignity of the M.E. class. Of no mean slide rule ability, Pat always gave awesome four figure answers. As a member of the A.S.M.E. Din- ner Committee he became fam- ous for offering the heartrending desire- But we want the best - whenever the hotel manager offered roast beef and mashed potatoes. '- Quai Q UMW! Milton Orlick, better. know as Mo, is the class expert on the Whickert truss, photo-elasticity, and other highly involved theo- ries. Mo frequently insisted that the class be assigned more home- work, so that he would have something to do over the week- ends. When Mo isn't meddling with the fifth dimension, he plays intramural softball and basket- . ball. The U. S. Navy will get a good Ensign if they can keep Mo from accepting an offer from the Panama Canal Zone. 78 775- . Tony 0rsini's immediate concern is to graduate from The Cooper Union and to become a good engineer. He hopes to devote considerably more time to those things which are not included in an engineering curriculum fThe ladies, perhaps?J. Not being satisfied with merely attending The Cooper Union, Tony won himself a place in the M.A.O., honor society of the Engineering Schools. Well liked by all who know him, he has all the pre- requisites for success. 5 6 Edward A. Owens, quick smile, and great desire for learning are his most striking characteristics. His occasional emotional up- heavals that every normal en- gineer experiences, during which he claims to be a pessimist and a cynic haven't fooled us a bit. Having associated with him these past six years, we all enjoyed these outbursts as random phil- osophy. Behind this exterior Ed is quite a music lover, be- ing a steady listener of WQXR. Lawrence Picone's easy going manner and perpetual smile com- bine to make him one of the more popular personalities of the class. He is the acknowledged expert on heat transmission ap- paratus design. A member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Au- tomotive Engineers, Lawrence's congenial disposition and his co- operative spirit have been of great value to these societies. pl., Ben Radzka is a man of varied talents, and is smooth to the ex- tent that no one fails to feel warmed by the radiance of his infectious grin. After the days labours amidst worshipping fe- males, his keeness of vision is not dimmed, and the Senior Class Prexy may be found with the best of our alma mater's nirnrods, which labor has netted for him the three year varsity key. Not knowing the meaning of the word Quit, he will finally achieve the heights of glory. Q Vincent Petrucelli usually desig- nated as Pet,', cannot be ac- cused of playfulness in his life at school. On the contrary, his energetic efforts have resulted in success for himself, and have been responsible for causing his main extra-curricular activity, the A.I.E.E., to assume its rightful place in the school. After having served as Secretary, he was elected President, and in that capacity brought many important technical men for talks. 7524 Walk down any corridor in The Cooper Union, and the odds are three to one that you'll hear some harassed instructor saying All right, that's your way of doing it, and it may be correct, but I don't understand it. Ken- neth Robinson of the Day M.E.'s is a mathematical and Cthey seem to go togetherl chess wiz- ard. He tried to go Hollywood on us and introduce a polo shirt fad. lt worked quite well, despite the fact the the instructors seemed horriied by the thing. Stan Rogat, native of the land of the Dodgers, has served as treasurer and President of the A.I.E.E. during the last two years. At any rate it is said that one of his hobbies, collect- ing tropical fish, is at times very difiicult and interferes with his other-pipe collecting, the fish not liking the smoke. His ambi- tion is to take a night OH from his duties and allow his imagin- ation to Hoat upon the wings of light classical music. 527 Bohn manifested his popularity at the beginning by being elected president of the Hrst year night class. Robert Rogge is a mem- ber of the A.l.Ch.E., and his scholastic record earned him a place in the M.A.O., of which he was elected Vice-Chancellor. He tried to sell his super, six cylin- der powerhouse-free with a set of wishes-but all his friends were engineers. He is one of those boys who married his sec- retary and then dictated his lab reports. MM. 610321- lf the ability for hard concen- trated effort means anything, then Karl Rothe should go far in his chosen field, for he is an industrious student who never leaves a problem until it is com- pletely solved. Quiet and unas- suming though he may be, he is well liked by his class-mates for his easy going ways and sympa- thetic nature. We all wish him the highest reward of the suc- cessful future which is in store for him. In his quiet way Karl has served as an oiiicer in the Lutheran Club, the CABLE, and his fraternity, O.D.P. xjgyqffjpawt Frank Rudbarg, the popular sec- retary of the Day Tech Senior Class, was also the bulwark of it's basketball team. The most mature M.E., he formerly farmed chickens in Boundbrook, but now spends most of his time with a chicken named Harriet. Frank did noble work as chairman of the A.S.M.E. dinner committee. He has given advice to his class- mates in the capacity of refriger- ation expert. Frank was the Brighton member of the firm of Robinson, Sackson, and Rud- barg. gawk Abraham Ruvin, Laughing boy of the Day Electricals has rolled irresistably along through every- thing that the teachers and his fellow students have been able to throw at him through the last four years, and has preserved his good humor to the end. His scholastic record has admitted him to the M.A.O. with ease, in fact he has been the Scrivener for scribblerl. Abe has also taken a prominent part in the actiivties of the L.S.K. fraternity and the A.I.E.E. Murray Sackson is president of The Cooper Union Day Branch of the A.S.M.E.g this is a sort of high-priestish position which en- titles him to go to dinners and things ffree some timesl. Al- though Murray's work in all sub- jects was good enough to get him into the M.A.O., he is par- ticularly adept at drafting. Mur- ray gained notoriety at the ex- pense of the Faculty, with many accurate impersonations of his instructors. This is also a died-in-the-wool Dodger fan in spite of his obvious intelligence. J..e....., A2954 JM1, Mischa Schaffer is one of the S men fSchaHer, Spencer, Suntag and Stewartl who spend their Sundays studying and discussing life in general. It may be stated here that it never takes much to distract him from studying Thermo to discussing women. He confesses that during his senior year his tastes have changed from swing and blondes, to sym- phony and brunettes. An active member of the A.I.Ch.E., he is looking forward to an active fu- ture in production engineering. Samuel Schaffer, known byfhis close friends as Sonny or Sam, is the child prodigy of the class. He is a brilliant student capable of accurate reasoning coupled with a simple unaffected nature with which he has won tne re- spect of his classmates. Among his numerous hobbies are fish- ing, learning how to dance and collecting stamps. Judging by his past work, which has gained for him a place in the M.A.O. scholastically and L.S.K. socially, we can say with assurance that Sam will meet with success out in the field. Alfred Scheiner is the worry wart of the Civil Engineering class. He would never rest until a problem's answer was checked and rechecked. And who -will ever forget his call, Hey, Mac! , when he was stumped, and his, If I get through this year, it will be a miracle. Still, who can blame him for his intense desire to make good at Cooper? But in spite of all this, he still managed to keep an eye peeled for the ladies. .idea Warner Schatz is perhaps the most socially inclined of the day M.E.'s., and is certainly one of the most active. This unsettled gentleman claims that all M.E.'s think only about two topics: tur- bines and women Che guarantees the womenj. Warner played in- tramural basketball with the senior class, and was a promoter of the interclass water polo tournament. Schneider, Matco- vitch, and Sildar are his chums. Warner had a girl-rate of one-a- month, which is tops around these parts. 10 S. Sag Bernard Schmulevitz, our fana- tic regards radio as a hobby, a career and what-not. He experi- ments, tests and even listens to radios. Along with being a mem- ber of the A.l.E.E. and the l.R.E. Bernie tells us he remembers he wanted to he a fire-man, but that was in the dim dark past of twenty years ago.,His only regret is that Marconi ever had any- thing to do with radio. Edward Schiffman is one of those nice, quiet boys whose reticence cloaks patience and tenacity. Al- though at times he has been heard to complain ruefully that Cooper's made a wreck of me , he has never been known to quail at the tasks which con- fronted us, and he has found his C.E. course invaluable in his engineering job with the City of New York. At summer camp last year he was known as the Man Who Always Wants To Go Home . Yes, he's married. fauna! Alexander Scott-Lieutenant in the U. S. Army, Ordinance Divi- sion, Power, and Refrigeration Engineer, member of the A.S.C.E. -has been busy studying Civil Engineering for the past six years, in order to become a gentleman . Ch.E.'s E.E.,s, and M.E.'s please take note. Though his accomplishments are awe- some, and though the ,splendor of his polish is a mark for which we are all secretly shooting, his friendly spirit makes him just plain Curley or Scotty,' to us. Joseph Scovronek, also known as Scurvy , is one of those who doesnit say much, but thinks his part. Joe came to The Coopdr Union, where he met .May's brother. Eventually he met May. This cemented his friendship with May's brother. Anyway, they have a lot in common. .loe is a rather modest fellow, which is only right, for he has a lot to be modest about, which includes his Chess Club career. Editors note: He asked for it. Usually, but not always, Gustave W. Sedat is quiet and dignified in appearance. Gus is one mem- ber of our class who is certainly scheduled to go places. As a scholar, Gus has already distin- guished himself by his election to the position of Chancellor in the school honor society, Mu Alpha Omicron, and in that mys- terious place called the field , Gus is a capable designer. But this fellow is not all work, for Gus can cut a rug with the best of them or bowl a mean game. Sylvan Jimmie Sherman has exhibited the enviable habit of demanding a clear explanation of obscure points in the subjects he has studied, and has often re- vealed that his fellow students haven't grasped things quite as clearly as they thought they had. This habit has won Jimmie a high scholastic standing and membership in the M.A.O. Don't think he's always engrossed in his studies thoug, for his con- quests among the fair sex will long be remembered by his brethren of L.S.K. W! Harold Schneider is the Day ME. from Harrison N. Y., who spent his spare time at the dancing club and swimming pool. As class chauffeur he made himself indispensable on class trips. Riding in the company of dignified business men on the New Haven R.R. has aided him in collecting a large number of corny jokes. Another one of his accomplishments is to manipu- late a slide rule on a crowded train without moving his arms. The resulting answers are amaz- ing at times. Oscar Siegel, alias the Sing-Sing Kid , was one of the class's more subtle humorists. But deep down inside, he was a serious student and embarrassed many a prof7' with his favorite remark, I don't see it,'. Oscar is a mem- ber of the A.I.Ch.E., and was an active supporter of all class ac- tivities. It still puzzles the fel- lows whether Oscar lived at Ossining, N. Y. or kept a handy supply of hack saw blades in his slide rule case. if Walter Siegel, with a ready smile, can always put a tough problem in his pipe and smoke it. His natural tendency toward Machine Design and his profici- ency in other phases of Mechani- cal Engineering would hardly lead one to suspect that he is a member of the E.E. clan. How- ever it cannot be said that Wal- ter made a mistake in choosing his profession for he has elec- trified the class with his knowl- edge-at times. We are looking forward to the time when he will assert himself as an Electrical Engineer. We QQM Alan Sielke-usually referred to as the Woodsrnan,', for he has a habit of chewing toothpicks while he thinks, is a member of the A.S.C.E., and the honor so- ciety M.A.O. Alan is all, and more, that a girl could ask for., However, we are forced to re- port, with our deepest sympathy for the rest of that admirable sex, that someone did . Of, his own' free will be added to his curriculum for the sixth year Housekeeping . if Alfons Skorski is such a gentle and charming wit, that no one would be inclined to believe, at first glance, that he is a man of violent action, who has fought for our honor in many a heated and sometimes even bloody bat- tleg that he is, in fact, one of our heroes. When A1 dribbles the leather sphere, on the basketball court, he is the envy of every Cooper student. His excuse for lateness is one of the few that has worked-overtime at the Gas Company. Try it sometimes fellas. Tom is the name you will know him by, if you are a friend of his. Kenneth T. Sloan gets volumes of homework done with- out ever seeming to be rushed. He never forms any opinions on the spur of the moment, but when he has decided how he feels about a point under ques- tion, all the professors and Dr. Burdell together cannot make him change. Tom's mastery of mathematics to this day is the envy of all the fellows. His fu- ture plans are along the line of production engineering. Martin Spencer is one fellow that you really can't judge by appearances. In the first place donlt let that receding scalp line fool you, he is really a young- ster. He is an ardent lover of music and the arts, and will sing excerpts from any opera in any language for you, especially if you know nothing about it. His face can assume the most angelic expression, and he hides behind this mask of innocence whenever he does anything ex- ceptionally brilliant or stupid. George Tauth is one of those fel- lows who puts a great deal of time and effort into everything he does, nor does he accept any statement without first analyzing every phase of the subject. George is also quite a philos- opher, and at one time seriously thought of going in for poetry, but his success in almost annihi- lating a class with chlorine in making chloracetic acid, induced him to be a Ch.E. and do a good job of it. They need men like you in Chemical Warfare, George. wwf md Louis J. CCasanovaD Thaisz will be remembered in the hearts of The Cooper Union students. His great interest in school is shown by his good scholastic record and by his many school activities. Among the latter are the A.A., Intra-mural basketball, A.S.C.E., The Lutheran Club, and O.D.P. His hobbies include pool, bowl- ing, and last but not least, golf, which, Lou claims to be his suppressed ambition. We don't doubt Lou's word when he says boys are his best friends, but- well-ask any O.D.P. man, he will tell you. fm! Ernest Thalmannh the beloved beauty of the E.E.'s is one of the early members of the No man is complete without a Hom- burg club. Until Ernestis quiet and excellent work in his studies was rewarded by a position de- signing transmission lines, he could usually be seen in the com- pany of the blonde beast. The Humanities Department can point to Ernest with pride, for as a result of having taken more of their courses than the rest of gs, he is now a polished and cul- tured gentleman. 3 fats? The only thing small about Ted is his size, but he is just another David when it comes to big, tough problems. Ted loves the outdoors. He goes in for over- night hikes even in the winter and likes to ski, swim and knock down pins. T. W. Timpe is a member of the veteran trium- virate of Sloan, Timpe, and Tun- dermann, which has seen six years of action at The Cooper Union front. The Cooper Union has an engineer ready for duty- Ted Timpe. Quiet, modest, and unassuming in all that he says and does, Werner Tundermann is to us one that we are proud to call friend. A good student who fails to rec- ognize his own prowess, he comes through when the going is tough. A student member of the A.l.Ch.E., he plans to continue as a member of the various pro- fessional societies while pursuing his career as an engineer con- nected with the production of dye-stuffs. We are sure that he will be eminently successful in his own field. I Q Tony 'is one of the most versatile men in the senior class. In addi- tion to carrying a full program throughout his six years at Cooper, Tony Vescuso has been a member of the Varsity Riile Team, has served as Vice-Presi- dent of the Athletic Association and has maintained membership in the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers and the So- ciety of Automotive Engineers. He now works as an experimen- tal engineer in the defense in- dustry. Gregory Vinci is one of the more quiet members of the Ch.E.'s. A hard working conscientious stu- dent, he has always endeavored to obtain the most out of his classes. Even though he is a married man, his chief ambition is to continue his studies toward a Ph.D. His chief claim to dis- tinction is his attendance at Cooper Union for four years while a member of the Civilian Conservation Corps. At present he works as a research chemist. ,fwvbufkyl 1.-4-6 H- One just can't help liking Larry Weintraub. He is one of those fellows who always sees the silver lining behind the cloud. His contagious, good-natured smile, sympathetic heart and good humor has helped many a classmate over the blues. Larry claims that when he took up Chemical Engineering, his life took a comical turn. Perhaps that is why he can laugh so heartily over every joke that he hears in class. We are proud to have had Larry as our class-mate and wish him the best of luck. --Eff Malcom Wernander is a dyed- in-the-wool Brooklynite fDodgers and alll who took his studies seriously enough to make the M.A.O. in his senior year. He is known to his friends as Mal which means bad in five lan- guages but we know does not apply. Although a Ch.E. Mal intends to become a communica- tions engineer. He has found time over a year ago to assume the responsibility of married life fhas gained ten pounds sincel. F. Wayne White is a name with which even the best poet might be satisfied. Therefore his grief at being known only as Red,' can be readily understood. Con- tinuous traveling to and from New .lersey must have been the cause of the remarkable patience and self-control which he dis- plays. The poker face which he has developed, however, has been unable to mask the great mental activity that he has shown us in our almost daily contact with him in the past six years . iff Richard Woessner is a likeable fellow and a devil with the women. Dick holds a responsible position in a design ofhce check- ing stresses in airplane landing gears. He can give you the low down on any heat transfer prob- lem, having worked in that field as a designer. Dick is always ready to .offer professional assis- tance and is admired for his co- operative spirit. aafaff! 67+ J Albert Weisskopf is the hand ball whiz from Tottenville. Every lunch hour he deserts his fellow M.E,'s to play with the Art School girls. He is always quick with puns, no matter what the conversation is about. Al is al- ways willing to discuss his Model A Ford, which he wouldn't trade for it's .weight in gold. Al is known for his work in the lab- oratory, where he does the work of a dozen men. He hopes to work as an engine tester for Ranger Aircraft. William Zdan, like a few other unfortunates, had the misfortune of being squeezed into a class consisting mainly of genii and other M.A.O. members. But to our great surprize Bill hadn't a bit of trouble, for like other quiet and able men, they cannot be appreciated until they are un- der pressure. When things like zero sequence impedence to ne- gative sequence currents were thrown at us, it had no notice- able effect on Bill. w zz! Esquire Junior they named Herbert Ackerman in his fresh- man year and he's been a fashion-plate ever since. Acky likes bowling, bright colored socks and his favorite adjective is terrific He insists that he hates work, but gave up a job because there wasn't enough of it. He plays stooge for the other boys in the class and they love him for it. Herb has studied ad- vertising throughout his four years at Cooper and we're sure he,ll succeed. Betty Alden-Betty is one of the most democratic people we know, her impartiality and clear think- ing has served to a special value in many school affairs. The only girl to receive a Lambda Tau award in her first year, Betty continued work on Pioneer as Art Editor in her last two years. She also took part in Drama- tic Committee and as vice-presi- dent of her class. Her agreeable wit and unaffected personality have made her one of the most likeable seniors in school. Ruth Altman, the baby face kid with the feather haircut, and sweet air of naivete and youth- fullness, despite spike heels, makes you want to pat her ten- derly on the head. But alas she has a knowledge seeking mind. She is usually found staggering under a huge stack of very im- portant looking books. Ruth is always busy improving her mind but never too busy to look up with a puckish grin. Ruth is a fashion designer and mixes her costume making with fine arts in her painting and drawing. Walter Bekowsky - This Vice- President of the N.S.A. was born in a small cottage in New York State. His ambitions are rather indefinite, it seems, yet he shows a bent towards commercial art. He has for some time had at lov- ing for the all-year-round sun- shine of California, deeply ab- horing the snowless, sunless win- ters. lt seems Walt's desire to enjoy both wintersports and summer lounging upon pleasant beaches at the same time. Per- haps he'll get to California yet. A gay sense of humor should carry him far. 7fA2V Rosyln Bimstein is a mild, pleas- ant girl with a suppressed am- bition to be, of all things a blues singer. Really, though, Ros is just a normal girl who likes to putter around her family photo album and draw pretty ladiesf' She admits to a bit of laziness but that will wear off. Her musi- cal tastes are very sentimental and strictly sweet . . . Her pet peeve is getting stuck in the subway rush with a box of loose paint jars and a couple of large illustration boards. 6,3 Beulah Blumenthal is another Night Art School girl whose charming, informal attitude com- pletely hides her more serious self. She is really an ace marine radio ham and she knows quite a bit about electricity as it is related to amateur broad- casting. Beulah is small and blonde with a worldly wise sophistication that doesn't de- tract one bit from her naturally amiable disposition. She has traveled a great deal too, so here is a girl who is modern and up to date. Zwfpzpjf Helen Bodger is a typical Cooper Union Co-ed. She is lots of fun and would go out of her way to help her friends. Her favorite obsession is to paint people in red and green colors. Helen is an expert on men's ties, so-we would advise you to consult her before buying your next tie, gents. She is a Mangravite fan and swell painter. AQZMQ, Edgar Boeck-A man of no sup- pressed ambitions Che saysj, Edis activities include bowling, talk- ing and sleeping. He seems to spend the greater part of his life trying to get to school late with- out encountering Professor Shaw. With only a diifident interest in classical music, Ed really loves swing, especially on a hot piano. Although he is easily arrested by blondes, brunettes and redheads, his real goal in life is to own his own industrial design concern. X Edmund Casarella, a hard-work- ing and very sincere advertising man. His work on this CABLE deserves a real round of applause. For all the serious effort, Ed is really a comedian, and can pep up any party. He will be satis- fied with his dog, his pipe, his slippers and a cozy fireplace. No one believes him, but if Ed wants it, it must be good. Ed has given his all for the CABLE for two years-thanks Ed. Dark, unruly locks, an airy voice and a hearty laugh are all char- acteristic of Lillian Capra. She wears the sharpest clothes in Cooper, dances a subtle Lindy, and is much too absent-minded. Enthusiastic about everything, Cappy has many hobbies - among them sailboating and horse-back riding, thus belying her dainty, feminine appearance. She became Student Council Treasurer, ran the Senior Class Party and proved that her pop- ularity is well deserved. s ea George Midnight Corrado is that Fine Art student whose am- bition is to become a well known caricaturist. His tastes run along intellectual lines and at one time he wanted to be a novelist, but being a married man he hnds he must work for a living. His pet peeve is the nit witticismsn of loud-mouthed, movie-going mor- ons. He belongs to the Stevers, Hansen, and Nakagawa mob, Jimmy being his body-guard, the others his trigger men. P.S. George is the silent type. Kolantena Costas has a mind of her own. That's why her paint- ings are original and interesting. She's putty and lots of fun to be with. She likes to sing, dance and when it comes to talking, well, she's a woman, ia' heckleri. She's an expert dress designer who doesn't prefer to buy ready-made dresses and does. Well someday, sheill have time to design and execute her own. 6064 J ffeafr-KW.. ff J Jeanne Dagit--The Essence 'of congeniality is Jeanne, God's gift to an inferiority complex. She posesses the rare trait of an ap- preciation of hitherto unsuspect- ed qualities in us poor mortals . Majoring in fashion she is espe- cially interested in childrens fashion and also professes a sup- pressed ambition to hypnotize Mr. Sicklesf, Jeanne is president of the Newman Club and Vice President of the Fencing Club, ,and she fulfills these offices with a commendable spirit. Mtv XWMMV Fred Danzig is a real friend. He is an intense, healthy, vibrant person, who never bluffs and draws continuously. He believes in the old adage, A little hard work never hurt anyone. Very interested in hot jazz music, in fact a suppressed desire of F redls is to sit in at drums over in Nick'sg and who knows, some- day he might. Remember the name, you'll hear it again. MDW Frances Devine-sweet, demure and doll-like, Frances is a fashion whiz. Never disheveled, she always looks as if she has been wrapped in a packing box for the night. Her disposition never seems to change and a per- petual smile lights up her face. Beneath her shy modest manner is a lively sense of humor and a fun-loving spirit. Frances is the kind of a girl that will always be poised and sure of herself. WB John Egbert, a dyed-in-the-wool camera fiend, numbers among his hobbies ice-skating and girls. His work in Industrial Design speaks louder than his words, for its excellence is noted among his fellow students and his instruc- tors. He is working in Sperry's at present, where his good work is a byword. As to music, he prefers the finer things or Tschai- kowsky to you. His pet peeves, though few are intense. At pres- ent, it's to see women in slacks. Earnest and friendly, Phyllis Goldstein lends a sympathetic ear to everyone's troubles. She is a serious student but has a whimsical sense of humor almost frightening to unimaginative strangers. She always seems to be breathlessly hurrying to an unknown destination and at this time you can be sure she is rush- ing to meet Murray. Phyllis is Vice-President of the Senior Class, Dramatic Club activities and contributions to the Pioneer have occupied her time when not painting. 71,224 Gladys Hendrickson might best be described by the old proverb Better late than neverw. She's an ardent fan of dancing and spends her spare time pursuing this hobby. Little do we blame her. She has a beautiful collec- tion of china pigs ffifty in alll and a collection of match boxes from every restaurant she has ever dined in. Gee, Henny, if you keep this up youill have to have a room built just to keep your collections. She studies line art but her surpressed ambition is to be an interior decorator. fffaw a G-6445.4 'The real interest Eleanor Heusser has in life is art. This girl is one of the most sincere and en- thusiastic students that ever at- tended Dr. Katz's lecture classes. Eleanor studies painting but is also interested in sculpture, and has turned out quite a bit of work in the past two years. She will not accept anything that is insincere and affected and has set a high standard that ought to be a credit to her endeavors in painting later on in her life. 557 Ephraim Hubert is one of our ar- chitectural students who is now helping to design the nation's battleships. Eph interests him- self in the technical phases of building and hopes to provide for greater livability in the hous- ing of tomorrow. His greatest ambition, however, is to retire at forty and enjoy mother nature. At school he is a quiet fellow whose only complaint is that there isn't any eighth day in the week in which he might do some homework. 1, This suburban gentleman, Frank- lyn Jacoby, Cable staff photog- rapher, has carved a very special niche for himself in the activi- ties at Cooper. His friends will remember him as a quiet, well read individual with a pleasant outlook. Deeply interested in his own family circle he has wander- ed from it to become one of the better students in the industrial design class. Edwin .Iastram a very busy gentleman, is Editor of the Pioneer, a member of the Drama- tic Club, and so it seems, chief tester of the new public speak- ing system. Long before Veron- ica Lake had even thought of it, our Ed wore his hair over one eye. His politeness, ready will- ingness to help all and pleasant ways have made him as popular as he deserves. His love for the Brooklyn Dodgers surpasses all during the baseball season for he just lives and breathes dem Bums. V, M .. Y gfv Herbert Karpoff-Herb is the other half of the team of Karpoii and Alden. A tall, dark fellow with a swell personality, hels an advertising student who would like to become an art director. You'll find him taking pictures of all sorts of things, which usually turn out good pictures. Herb has been working on the Pioneer for a year and was on the basketball team for two years. He's an ardent fan of the Jazz Club and makes you under- stand that it's jazz he likes and not swing. ' WW Zoltan Kiss is the live wire of the Night School and there's never a dull moment when he's around. He's a baker who bakes some fine cake and is very gen- erous in his distribution of it. It may sound as though , he doesn't take life seriously but he is thoroughly interested in his work. Zoltan has the capacity for doing work that makes for a suc- cessful advertising artist. Many happy hours spent in McSorleys should have made his past four years pleasant ones WW9 4- M27 ffm Richard CDickJ Kalkman is a fellow who's a friend to all. One of Cooper's best artists, even though he does live in New Jer- sey. He was one of the industri- ous lads who helped plan this CABLE and spent many tiring hours in solving our problems. His particular ambition is known to only a few, so we won't say any more about it except that she begins with an M. Better late than never but worth waiting for, this is Rigid Kalkman. Dick's outstanding work in ad- vertising proves the old adage, Still waters run deep. Kee Edith Krank is one of our stu- dents who is thoroughly inter- ested in painting. Her whole life and ambition revolves around her talent in this field. Edith has some aspirations toward photography too, but not having the equipment or time, she has not been able to follow out her hobby. A busy schedule of work during her day and school at night, leaving very little free time, gave Edith the desire and resolution to spend all her spare time just loafing. 1 Mildred Milly Lawner is one of the finest girl painters in the Night Art School. She is a noisy little female whose appearance completely belies her marvelous talent. Her hobby interests are completely filled by her devotion to scultpure, and she has learned a great deal about plastic form from her endeavors in three dimensional design. We hope that Milly,' will capitalize upon her knowledge of painting and turn out some fine work in the future. . J Edward Lewis is that boy who can tell you how to avoid! those persistant gentlemen from the local board. Yes, he lays great claim to' efiicient draft dodging. See him, he says, and he'll tell you how to do it. When he is not pursuing this delightful avo- cation, Ed enjoys that very pleas- ant atmosphere of one MoSorley's establishment as one of those ven- erable knights of the barroom floor. We hear that seeing a cer- tain Nancy more often is among the higher of his am- bitions-an exaulted one indeed. fzatfgs In spite of a pleasing sense of humor, Sidney Lipchitz also ex- hibits a Machiavellian streak in stating that his ambition is to get even with some engineer. According to his own report, he is the worldis champion mediocre cornetist, but frankly, we don't believe it. Along with his suc- cesses in the Art field, he has also mastered the diHicult art of eating celery and salt in bed. His claim that a man's best friend is his wife has not yet been made a reality, but we wish him Godspeed. I Mathilda C. Maslow, known to her intimates as Matty , isn't single any more boys, but divides her time between her husband and her painting. To be sure, though, that the former is her major interest in life and that even when she is painting she thinks about whim. By the way, girls, she met him in Cooper, he is an engineering student. This, we think, tends to disprove pretty popular concept. Matty has a quiet sense of humor, knits in- cessantly and makes a fine wife. ' OZZZMWMZ Celia Mazzamuto is, like so many other of her classmates, a girl of varied interests. Her favorite div- ersion is horseback riding. She wouldg we know, love to be able to get a baby grand to bring her closer to those piano concertos. To see the world with a paint box is another of her ambitions. And last, her best friends are those who smell of 'turps. ' Kala Wiz! 6 Ann Mendohlsonn may seem a quiet and retiring girl but in reality she has a very warm per- sonality. Those who know her well realize this. Ask Jack. He and Ann are forever seen to- gether whether it be in Cooperls halls, the Automat or in class. It isn't surprising though, for they are engaged. They're an- other couple who met here at school. Ann has a very salty sense of humor and is always making use of it. Her main am- bition is Jack and everything she does centers around him. A man with a worthy ambitiong to he the best advertising artist in the business. Meet John J.

He is chairman of the A.A.L. and an unoiiicial consultant of what ails the world. He finally showed us the snapshots he has been hoarding, including the few prized ones of Terry. QW? Theresa Meyer, Terry to all, is a Richmond Hill commuter, who is anxiously awaiting graduation, so she can get that long sleep she has given up in order to study painting. She's done a good job too. If there is any- thing else you want to know about her, ask John. He'll tell you sheis got a friendly smile and the cutest little button nose Ca pet namel. Her ambi- tion is to be a home body and raise a family of brown-eyed babies with button noses and blonde hair, 5 First to be mentioned when one speaks of Laura must be her great passion for shoes of all colors and descriptions. She is also very wrapped up in her work and for this reason is na- turally intolerant of those who pursue their work with shipshod interest. Having character, be- traying eyebrows, intense inter- est in people, and splendid taste in clothes, Laura is a girl to be remembered. M4664 Introducing .James Nakagawa, sometimes called Wendie after Willkie whose hair also has that mussed up', look. Jimmy is not only an artist with the paint brush but also has an ear for music-his favorite instrument being the piano. He excels in baseball and at one time wanted to become a professional. He pals around with Les Stevers, George Corrado, and Bill Han- sen. His peeves are people who forget to close subway doors. if J-00-A, Robert Natusch Hi ya chum is just another way of saying Bob Natusch for this is the greeting which he gives everyone he meets. Always ready with a friendly smile and greeting, he is everybody's pal. He in- sists he drinks nothing strong- er than a double malted, and strange as it may seem it's the truth although others have ideas to the contrary. He is treasurer of the Senior Night Art -Class and really a swell fellow. V321 Here's a gentleman who's bound for success. William Niederheit- man, who proves that it can be done in the short time of three hours each night. He is reticent, quiet, but very, very am- bitious and determined to make good in the art world. His musi- cal preferences are definitely classical, and include Kreisler, Friml, Strauss, Herbert, etc. Hates public Whistlers and gum chewers. w,.aI'+tM Irresistible Irene Nyski - with an understanding as deep as her eyes are blue, she has long been a lodestonelto discerning males. First in the fencing lineup for three years, she captained the team in l942. She is a winsome little minx accepting life as it comes with an unruffled calm. Her one great difficulty is in con- vincing people that, in spite of her 5'2 , she can reach the door knob. are Harry Oliver, known as Ollie fcall me Eddiel is the bow-tied executive type. Ollie has a hankering for a home in the country and his Mrs. lThat's his pet name for her.J He's not married yet, but hopes to be in the near future. Lettering might be called his middle name, be- sides studying it in school he takes it up as a hobby. He's the golden boy of the lettering class. Always a gentleman, Ollie be- comes very annoyed with the gentlemen in elevator and sub- way rushes. Robert Parker desires to be a good commercial artist. Bob is one of the lVlcSorley,s social group and has spent many a happy moment there with Joe Whitton and Zoltan Kiss. He's easily pleased and his irish back- ground make Bob a lot of fun, even if it's not a party, and doesn't cost much. aff If you really want something done, then the person to go to is Ally. Alice Pearlman is a re- sponsible and serious worker. In her first year she was feature editor on the Pioneer and did her job very cleverly. She was on the Pioneer Board of Control two years and is now on the de- fense committee. Alice has one pet peeve and that is people who donit join in school activities. 1 Carl A. Peterson is the architect from the deep, deep Bronx. Right now Carl is an Air Cadet in the U. S. Army and his studies will have to wait until the warlis over. He is one of the most talented and best liked students in the art school and all his work bears the stamp of real constructive thought. He is tolerant in his musical tastes but dotes especially on Sibelius and good dance records. When you think of superior people think also of Carl Peterson. s 3017-4 Melvin Piperno wants to capital- ize on his art training through his lettering. Melvin iinds time for the advertising art league and does quite a bit of swim- ming outside of school. His musical taste is for good swing, and almost naturally, George Gershwin. One of his suppressed ambitions is aviation, and al- though he says no, jitter-bug dancing. Melvin is now with the U. S. Army. af-M Joseph Portuese is that Archi- tecture student from the wilds of Michigan. He has a very humble ambition to get to the top. Another of his ambitions is to go to day college and become a sculptor. As far as music is con- cerned Joe offers no preferences, both classical and swing suit him equally well. Another thing that keeps his life interesting besides his schoolwork is botany, in the course of which he has gotten himself no small collec- tion of plants. A man of varied talents it seems. Marion Powers may seem shy and reserved to the causual ob- server, but is a gay cut-up if the truth be known. She is the last of that well known group of Conkling, Culbert and Amador. While at Cooper she has been studying fabric design and has done some fine work. She is charming and beautiful and might easily be a Powers model. Her chief concerns while at Cooper were commuting which she abhors and coping with that stubborn locker door. rv ' James Priest-known to all as Jimmy, is one person who won't have any trouble finding some- thing to occupy his mind. Be- sides having artistic ability, Jimmy is a drummer. All art school parties have had the pleas- ure of hearing his musical tal- ents. Jim was president of the Jazz club for two years. He also holds the distinction of being the only boy in the textile design class. We bet Jimmy was very unhappy about that! I 0 A versatile fellow is Charles' E. Pugh. He wants to retire at 35 and see the world with a wife and six children. Of course, the duke must also squeeze in a little music, boating, skating and dan- cing into this seemingly crowd- ed schedule. You'd better forget travel and settle down to a happy married life, Charles. Life is too short for all your ambitions. Jifaznff 933 I X June Reddin gets her name from the warm, bright month in which she was born. Red hair and blue eyes and a charming, ready smile are the outward symbols of a sweet nature. She is a successful career girl. Her Held is jewelry which she both designs and wears well. In her spare time she goes in for painting and dress designing. June's favorite sport is dancing and she does very well on either a dance floor or in a roller skating rink. Presenting Milton Rose, whose ambition is to be an architect and to retire at the ripe old age of fifty. He has been pretty busy up until now with class officerships in his first and second years. Milt is very fond of dancing and his taste in music is purely popular, with Glenn Miller heading the list. One of his hobbies is photography and a secret desire is to study at M.I.T. Of course Milfs pet peeve would be that of coming home latef, 0128-U'1L' Betty Rosenberg is above all open-minded and this is a quality to be admired and coveted by all. She likes any kind of music as long as it is good . Being with people to her is in itself, a source of enjoyment and the people she likes are the ones that like her. Her other interests too are occasional sophistication and its opponent, sports. Betty plays handball and reads in her odd moments. All her extra time is spent in commuting from the wilds of The New Jersey interior. Dominic Rutland or Rut to his friends, has the laudable but general ambition to make good, ostensibly in the Held of art. His hobbies include photography, bowling and sleeping fhmmm what else do these artists do?J He is seen mostly in the com- pany of his friend John and Art School blondes. His suppressed ambitions are innumerable, a perfect score in bowling being one of them. His pet peeves in- clude people who pose for pic- tures and deep, Wagnerian music. 'Wig Edna Sappah is a combination of all those adjectives that define a lady. In the poetic sense, she has a charming blush which is genuine and fetching and is about the best little wheedler that ever mispronounced the let- ter L . She is fastidious and a versatile conversationalist with a long line of Ais to prove her ability as a fashion artist. WMM Dorothy Sarkin is a girl who is delightfully fresh, unpretentious and has a practical outlook on life. Gay and teasing she can be serious when the occasion de- mands. Dot is loyal to her friends and ideals and deserves the re- spect she receives from her as- sociates. She has a sunny smile and disposition and is always willing to help a fellow advertis- ing student whenever he's in trouble, a true friend. fig ff P .lay Setlow, this fellow Wants to be an Industrial Designer which must account for the excellent work he turns out in that class. This delights his instructors but adds much to the dismay of his classmates. His pet peeves are those who won't listen to him as an artist and one of his great- est ambitions Cit seemsl is to acquire millions of dollars to spread his personality . We be- lieve he finds women interesting, although we're not sure. jar Vivian Shapiro is a girl with a well rounded personality. She can be gay and laughing one moment, intense and sincere an- other. Vivian is an ardent stu- dent of painting and will al- ways be seen with a sketch pad in hand. Another surprising thing is that she dares to see people as they really are. In her spare time she studies interpretive dancing. We hear she is very good at it too. She is a devotee of Beethoven and Wagner and above all Mr. Katz. I x ffm.. Thomas B. Shearer, otherwise known as Tommy is a big fellow who would like to drive a train and could probably do it. Any- how he would -look cute in an engineman's cap. Prefers Tschai- kowsky in music and blondes in women. He's a man about town so he won't have any worries on the latter count. He is an Ad- vertising student and a sincere one. l x .lean Simonyi has a superb sense of humor and a salty wit which go into the making of a distinc- tive personality. But don't be- come too awed-she is really a swell person. .lean is ambitious for a career but would gladly give up this aim for the right man and a home of her own. Her perfect grooming and sophisti- cated air should bring this about in the very near future. Natalie Smith, pink and white complexion, waist length blonde hair, dimples and blue eyes, but Natalie has brains. Nat plays mother to the advertising class. She lends materials, takes care of absent minded classmates, picks up things they forget every night and comforts those who have troubles. Always a faithful follower of the basketball team, Natalie became a cheerleader. David Soshensky can look both saintly and satanic and you can be sure that either expression denotes a friendly insult coming your way. Dave likes a little bit of everything, having studied both painting and advertising, but he stands out as class callig- rapher. He designed the Pio- neer's banner head and is always writing long things in a quite artistic manner. Curiously enough, his personal handwriting is almost undecipherable, even to him. Q,,g,.:,Q Q09 9 Edward Starr is a quiet, soft- spoken fellow who has but one real desire-to paint. '4Slim is interested in radio, fencing, and bowling. In his more reflective moments he considers the violin as an alternate vehicle for ex- pression when painting fails his moods. Claims his best friends are his dogs, but we don't know about that. Slim's', musical pref- erence is mostly classical, and his taste is always good. Lillian flied? Stein is a Cooper- ite with a single goal in life, and that is to spend her life backstage, designing costumes and scenery. She has been with the Dramatic Club for four years, building up her skills, and we have all appreciated her efforts. No need to say Lillian's hobby is the theatre and music, whether it be swing or sweet. Lil has been a faithful follower of the Dancing Club and many an engineer has been guided into the terpsichorean arts by her. '?.xx....WlcQ....x S W: Eliezer Szereszewski is known as Lesie here at school among his fellow classmates. He has only been in this country four and one half years, but in this time he has attained an admirable business success and an unusual proficiency in the English lan- guage and customs.

Priscilla '4Pat Thayer known in private life as Mrs. Rapolt is a direct descendant of our Ameri- can heroine Priscilla Alden. Our Pat has done well by herself too. She has been one of the most versatile students in the Art School for the past four years, majoring in industrial design, graphic design' and advertising. Pat's always turning out some new design. She is a devotee of the newly discovered sport of bowling and her scores would put any male to shame. , , Z When a snazzy roadster pulls up in front of old C.U. and out steps one of the few female advertising artists - it's Shirley Tobias Marein. Don't crowd though, boys. She's married. She also wants to drive an ambulance, fly an airplane, and has a moderate taste for good popular music. Avocado pears are included among her pet peeves. She's a girl who knows her way around. Rafeal Triana, an Industrial De- sign student who thinks that brunettes and American citizens are the luckiest people in the world, The reason for both of these beliefs is obvious, especial- ly when you consider the fact that Fellow was born in Cuba and is just waiting for his own citizenship papers. His hobbies include photography and wood- carving besides the aforemenf tioned brunettes. He has no peeves and is mild mannered and fairly quiet. I Rosemary Van Dyke is always calm and collected, yet behind this gentle exterior hides a little imp. She is always ready to tease, but whenever it is needed she can be very understanding. Rosemary is generous to the nth degree with an ever ready sup- ply of locker space and jokes. We find it hard to realize that such a feminine looking person can help to solve technical prob- lems and play a sharp game of chess. WLM Joe Whitton is a long to be remembered guy because of his baseball activity, easy going na- ture, and particularly his pranks! But ,Ioe's a more serious man today he has responsibilities, and the ladies' man is retired now. Joe is a terrifically hot jazz fiend and will go out of his way to hear a good solo. Joe is a very generous fellow to those who know him, a sharp dresser with a fine physique, and one of the best Lindy Hoppers in Long Island. Myron Waller is another retiring advertising artist. Retiring not meaning reserved, but one who would like to be resting on the results of his art labors. Thus he would have time for his many activities, painting, riding, read- ing, and baseball. He likes popular music with an edge to- wards Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey and also goes for a good game of cards, a good show and a little dancing.

The highlighted event i of the evening came at Cinderella's zero hour when the secret v of who would be King and Queen was disclosed to the entire gathering as they led the coronation march. Five Knights and Ladies fthe candidates previously chosen by general electionj made up the royal cortege which proceeded to the stage where the Coronation took place. iBen Cutler, our maestro, had the honor of crowning the blushing royal pair. Dean Clark then made a brief address before lighting the candles on the Silver Jubilee Anniversary cake fa surprise for everyonej. As everyone joined in singing our Alma Mater song their majesties, hand in hand, cut the cake and uttered a few nervously chosen words. Their Royal Highnesses climaxed the ceremony by dancing completely around the ballroom in rhythm to the Anniversary Waltz. This was the signal for the entire assembly to resume festivities' and dance. The faculty was a dazzling sight from the top of Prof. Shaw's tufted head to the toe of Miss Ulrich's sandal. Never before had an Annual so great a turnout of Tech and Art faculty. The Humanities Department turned out to the affair en masse. Prof. Dowden was his usual gay self, Waltzing with every pretty girl in the ballroom. 1 More than a few of our boys, were conspicuous by their absence. We have reason to believe they were remembering in their barracks wherever they might be. Co-chairman Natalie Smith and Rita Long, in all their splendor, viewed with pride the success which they and their able committee had worked so hard to achieve. Ben Cl1tlS1',S Society Music kept the spacious Grand Ballroom of the Manhattan Center in a constant swirl of colorful skirts and dancing feet. Not until the wee hours of the morning did Cooper students turn out their lights with memories of a perfect evening. Charles A Erway Edward J' Barlow Jeanne W.

Q Act ll begins the processes of evolving ideas. Barlow, Kalkman, Casarella, Kelman, Ross, Medon, Jacoby, Juhl, Ledgerwood each a fountain head for bigger and better things that must be, can be and do get done: Casarella and Kalkman are those super design men who make a little look like a lot more and a lot more look like a little bit. Scribbling, those wanton engineers would call the work of these proficient hacks, but the results belie the preliminary sketches. Noses to the sketchboard and chairs tilted back these two have spent many a weary hour whipping together some- thing worthy of their future.

When the work is finally ready for typing we have just about the most select group of typists ever to step from the confines of the moral law. Renegades, pirates, flappers have constantly poured vinegar on the wound -vinegar like-Hare you going to allow this to be printed or what is it?,' All this is true with the possible exception of Edna Sappah, Dottie Mclntosh, lVlerz and Gee Gee lVlarback. c Leading the aforementioned Miss Mclntosh into a better light we find the burden of hard work laid heavy on her curving shoulders.

COOPER SQUARE, New YORK, New YOR May ii, 1942 Dear Reader: The Cable has been published for twenty-one years. For several years before that the students published a magazine called the NCourier.W All of this is of course a matter of history. The name of our book also has al significance. Primarily it signifies the binding to- gether of the various schools of the Cooper Union, but it has the added meaning of commemorating Peter Cooper's part in laying the trans-Atlantic Cable. I have endeavored to repeat a small portion of the Cable's history and tradition. I also wish to bring out more forcibly the bitter fact that this may be the last Cable. War conditions have forced the Activities plan, and varsity sports to cease for the duration. The war program has left very little leisure time for both the day school students and the night school students. I will not close the door and say that there cannot be a Cable. There can be one if you who are in school next year will pitch in with your dollars and free time. Find out what you can do at the beginning of next year and make this the Twenty-first Cable not the last! Edwm Jasu-am Milton Minneman Betty Alden BYT011 Cole 'Stop the presses! Change the headlines!

May ll, 1942 Mr. Charles Erway Editor of the Cable The Cooper Union New York City Dear Charles: . - To you and your staff I extend the congratulations of the Pioneer for the effort and good work put forth this year. Today student publications assume greater signif- , icance and responsibility. They are strong instruments for unity and understanding and they foster active participa- tion in the national effort. Realizing our important position, the Pioneer staff en- deavored to set the pace in extending the unity and deter- mination which swept the country after Pearl Harbor. Insti-C tations of culture devoted to education such as the Cooper Union are the very central points at which our enemies have aimed their guns. By learning, arming ourselves with facts and truths, by training and fighting, the youth of America will go forward into a victorious, worth-while tomorrow. Sincerely, STUDE T C 0 I I N C Louis Oleekman, Pres., Paul Piech Vice Pres Lillian Capra Treasurer. The 1941-42 Students, Council, though impeded at its start by a lack of membership due to ineligibilities and resignations, began functioning early in the academic year as a body representing the Cooper Union students. One of the first acts of this Council was the establishment of a Defense Committee. This Defense Committee organized such activities as knitting for Allied War Relief, a Victory Book campaign, and a poster contest. This latter contest, in coordination with the Office of Civilian Defense, was a highly successful affair with prizes awarded by a jury comprised of Mr. Treidler, Mr. Byron Thomas, Dean Clark, and a member of the Manhattan Volunteer Civilian Defense Office. Some posters were donated for national use, and a poster squad of the Defense Committee did all the work for the local police precinct in the civilian defense effort. The student body has helped by donating books for the men in service and by its part in bandage and stretcher making. ' The Students' Council showed initiative in obtaining an office for its use and setting up an organized system of files for reference so as to facilitate not only its present administration but the work of those to come. Another innovation was the establishment of a standard set of points for Gold C Committee awards, thus creating a fixed standard for future years. The Council was able to addressthe entire student body in a fashion not seen for a long time in two general assemblies, and it also sponsored a dance for the U.S.O. fund that was held in the new recreation rooms. In conjunction with the Dancing After the Basket-Ball Games Committee, the proceeds of The Cooper Union-John Marshall game went to the Presidentls ,. Infantile Paralysis fund. A Luncheon Committee was set up to administer the new lunchrooms, and plans for a budget were drawn up to provide for recreational facilities such as ping-pong tables. A The Students' Council has not only completed its routine work of guiding student affairs, but has acted as a go-between for students in pre- senting student problems to the faculty. In this manner it can 'boast of a busy year, aiding the students in their all-out efforts for victory. ACTI ITIE PLA The Activities Plan Committee got off to a flying start-a bad one in 1941, and, if a bad beginning is a good ending, they should have a wonder- ful one. The start of the fall term found both the Chairman, Joe Shiffman, and Treasurer, Bill Wirfel, ineligible. Frantic searching uncovered Marjorie Spence, who was willing to take over, and then proceeded frantically to clutch any engineer who had a passing knowledge of simple arithmetic to be Treasurer. Francis 4'Bud,' Medon, Editor of the 1940 CABLE, finally succumbed. With the help of a committee of some of the prettiest girls in the Art School, a great drive was launched to secure the missing 300 pledges necessary for the plan to go through. This bevy of beauties smiled, wheedled, and coerced the otherwise stubborn student body into signing the necessary pledges. Nor were their efforts in vain. At the last possible minute, with the obituary notices already printed in The Pioneer, the plan was passed. For the nominal sum of four dollars, an Activities Plan member is entitled to join any of the organizations sponsored by the Activities Plan. He can become a member of the Cable and The Pioneer staffs, join the Chess, Dancing, or Camera Club, obtain free tickets to the Annual Dance and Dancing after Basketball Games, and obtain free issues of our year book, the Cable, and newspaper, The Pioneer. In recognition of their work in these posts, students are awarded Gold HC Credit which may be used to obtain a Gold or -Silver HCP In return for their services, a little recognition would not be amiss for Marjorie E. Spence, Chairman, and Francis E. Medon, Treasurer, with- out whose tireless eiforts the Activities Plan would still be behind the proverbial 'Tight Ball.

Beginning where last year's group left off, the 1941-42 Day Branch of the Cooper Union Chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, led by its officers, Murray Sackson, President, Herbert Wells, Vice-President and Secretary, and Sol Musicant, Treasurer, with Mr. Vopat, advisor, promoted an ambitious program of meetings, socials, get-togethers, and speeches. In addition the various committee members have met and cooperated with the ofiicers so that the entire year has seen a singularly eliicient schedule which has brought both enjoyment and instruction to the members of the organization. Membership which is open to all sophomore, junior, and senior mech- anical engineers of the Institute of Technology, was practically universal among the eligibles. Among the most successful meetings which were held during the current academic year, was the Freshman Reception in November. Eighty-five fresh- men, sophomores, and upper-classmen piled into the meeting room to listen to an introductory speechhabout mechanical engineering by Dean Bateman and to see two thrilling films. Cider, doughnuts, and conversation were the clinchers for a smashing success. The Christmas dinner, prime social function of the year, was held in Greenwich Village in December. The heavy turnout included a gratifyingly large number of graduates, who along with the undergraduates, did full justice to the delicious turkey dinner. After Professor Houston Peterson had begun the evening with an amusing yet penetrating discourse on HCynicism, Patriotism, and Chauvinismf, the entire assemblage relaxed for the official National Baseball League motion picture and then departed for that tradi- tional after dinner recreation of all M.E.'s: bowling. IGHT The activity of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, in the face of increased working hours for the night men, the majority of whom are serving their country in vital industries, has been greatly curtailed.

Time was found, however, to hold several technical meetings, one of these being a joint meeting with the Night American Institute of Electrical En- gineers at which an interesting and informative talk was presented by Mr. Crawford of the Sperry Products Company. The members of the society were not too busy, though, to hold the annual dinner which was well attended by both students and faculty members. The A.S.lVl.E., for the 1941-42 school year, has been guided by the able hands of Anthony Orsini, as Chairman, with Albert B. Watrous assist- ing as Vice-Chairman. The secretary and treasurer were, respectively, Rudolph J. Bleecher and Franklyn W. Kirk. An ever present influence was Mr. Emanuel A. Salma, who contributed much moral and physical support in acting as faculty advisor. It is felt that the summing up of the aims and purposes of the organiza- tion can best be done by quoting Professor Charles T. Scott, who addressed a student session of the A.S.lVl.E. of the 1941 semi-annual meeting as follows, . . .the branch is yours to do with as you like, a, means for doing what you want to do. It gives opportunity for initiative, and for collective action, . . . your technical papers may have most fruitful results in their by-products in orderly composition, in effective presentation, in thinking on your feet .... The branch is the students' vehicle for going the second mile, the mile of voluntary effort where men strive for excellence and may attain to the dignity and significance of a profession, which lies beyond the first mile of compulsion. l A.l.E.E.

The night branch of the A.I.E.E. has two definite objectives: to develop interest and ability in the presentation of student papers and to acquaint its members with various applications of electrical theory in industry. The presentation of talks by students who are actively engaged in the indus- trial world serves to fulfill both of these objectives. The topics selected by the students are of necessity not too complex, and on the other hand, they are not too elementary to be uninteresting to the members. The speakers, however, are by no means all students. During the year occasional talks are given by members of the faculty as well as by representatives of outside companies. In the course of the past year a lecture on lightning was given by Mr. Shelton of the E.E. faculty. He discussed the mechanics of the creation of natural and artificial lightning. Another high- light of the year was the presentation of motion pictures on Electrifying New York supplied by the Consolidated Edison Co. These pictures .depicted the installation and development of the electric power system of New York' City. In addition to the aforementioned lectures, other activities included student smokers, conventions, and inspection tours. The student smoker at Brooklyn Poly in December and the student convention at City College in April were-well attended by Cooper members. The program of the student convention consumed a whole day, beginning early with registration and presentation of student papers, continuing in the afternoon with visits to nearby places of engineering interest. A banquet concluded the day,s events. Another activity which was instituted this year was a dinner at which mem- bers ofthe night and day Cooper A.I.E.E. Branches became better acquainted. DAY The student branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers is sponsored by the National Professional Engineering Society of Electric- al Engineers for the purpose of fostering the more complete development of the young graduate engineer. Students are encouraged to present talks on their experiences, special problems, or any subject of interest to the Branch members, and in so doing they become familiar with methods of attacking engineering problems, methods of organizing speeches clearly and concisely, and the manner of presenting oral reports. Other activities of the student branch usually include trips to various industrial plants during the course of the school year and inspections of the applications of electricalengineering in these industries. An- other attraction offered by the student branch has been the pres- entation of special talks by speakers from big corporations. This year the speaker was lVlr. R. E. Knox of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. The highlight of the season was the annual smoker, given this year by Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. About forty Cooper Union students attended the affair. In a friendly spirit members from the engineering col- leges of the metropolitan area gathered for an evening of cpmradely cheer. The show began with a satirical skit illustrating what thetworld would be like if men gathered to play bridge as women do. Then a serious engineering paper was read by an industrious and uconscientiousa' student, despite a wild foray of assorted vegetable, mineral, and animal missiles. Later the members adjourned to the school gym for beer and sandwiches. After a musical interlude the real show of the evening began. It was a prestidigitator. He started by making canaries disappear and causing all sorts of things to emanate from the ears, and mouths, and pockets of the members. All this merely laid the stage for his amazing finale, in which he hypnotized one of his Hvictimsn and pulled the shirt right off his back. t Louis Thaisz, Pres.g B. Nedbor, Treas.g Walter Sittner, Sec. g Frank Squire, Publicity Chair- A.S.C.E. The Cooper Union Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers was taken over in September of 1941 by Louis J. Thaisz, the newly appointed President. Mr. Thaisz was aided by Argyrios Chletsos, Vice President, Walter Sittner, Secretary, Ben Nedbor, Treasurer, and Frank Squire, Publicity Chairman. The Faculty Advisor was Professor R. C. Brum- field. These men devoted a great deal of their time to making the year 1941-42 one of the most successful in the Chapter's history. The first activity of the year was a membership drive, which netted a total of sixty-five. This is, of course, a very large number to he obtained from the meager enrollment of the Civil Engineering classes, and the Executive Committee was duly proud of its accomplishment. The first meeting of the year was an orientation session, to help the membership drive. The Speaker of the evening was Professor Brumiield, who explained to new and prospective members the various benefits to be derived from participation in the Chap- ter's activities. At another of the meetings, Mr. William C. Stevens, the Chapter's Junior Contact Member, was invited to speak. He delivered a very inter- esting lecture on the construction of the Lincoln Tunnel, a project on which he had worked. Mr. Stevens, who is a Cooper Union Alumnus, showed a great deal of interest in the Chapter's activities throughout the year. He was present at nearly all of the meetings, and the members are greatly indebted to him for the help he gave. Mr. Stevens offered to make plans for an inspection trip to the Battery Brooklyn Tunnel, which was a great attraction for the students. lVlr. Yates, Senior Contact Member, also attended a large number of meetings, and did his share toward making the year a successful one. Professor Foss, Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering, was a guest at several meetings. A.I.Ch.E. NIGHT During this, the thirteenth year of the Night Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, its activity fell off, not because of the super- stitious number which indicates its age, but rather because of the demand for engineers in the various defense industries. Thus, due to the long working hours of most of the members, they considered sleep of the greatest im- portance, and the program this year was a skeleton compared to those of the previous flourishing years. Regardless of the seriousness and futility of the situation in which the members found themselves this year, they found time for several meetings which sponsored educational lectures, as well as reports by the students themselves. At the first meeting of the year Percy Kingsbury, Chief Engineer of the General Ceramic Company, was kind enough to come and give his lecture which was accompanied by technicolor movies depicting the manu- facture and use of chemical stone ware. Other speakers were Dr. Paul Mahler, Director of Research Development of the Strooek and Wittenberg Corpora- tion, and Dr. Robert Bond of the Research Development Department of Merck and Co. Dr. Mahler spoke on the up and coming subject of synthetic plastics and resins, emphasizing their importance in defense industries, while Dr. Bond outlined the future of organic chemistry. The difficult job of being president of an organization which is fading out because of lack of members, was given this year into the able hands of Kenneth W. Neuman. Besides this effort, Mr. Neuman was also chairman of the combined Night and Day chapters. Cooper Union Night students in Chemical Engineering who are in the third year or above are invited to become members of the Night Chapter. Year by year the program is increasing in interest and, by joining, students can find out a great deal concerning the field they are about to enter. ATH CL B The Mathematics Club of the Institute of Tech, founded in the aca- demic year 1920-21 under the guidance of Professor H. W. Reddick and J. J. Tanzola has always been active in developing the latent mathematical potentialities that exist in most of The Cooper Union's students. Oppor- tunities are afforded to those interested in learning extra-curricular mathe- matics and in gaining experience in lecturing. The wide range of interests shown by the Math Club members in both pure and applied mathematics is evidenced in the variety of topics chosen for lectures. Heard at the various meetings were lectures on Theory of Numbers, Vector Analysis, Operational Methods, Complex Variables, Infinite Series, and a moving picture on Rate of Change. Of special interest to the suffering sophomores was the movie on the Rate of Change, some of them claiming that it could be run back- wards to demonstrate integration. In addition, to Math Team Members there is afforded competitive ac- tivity in the form of intercollegiate mathematics contests. The Cooper Union Mathematics Team participates annually in two major meets-the Pi Mu Epsilon, and the William Lowell Putnam Intercollegiate Contest. The results have been uniformly encouraging, The Cooper Union having won two honor- able mentions and a third place in the Phi Mu Epsilon contest. An entirely new feature of the Club's activities this year was the inauguration of intramural math contests for all Cooper Union students. Among these intramural affairs was a Freshman contest in which six of the more brilliant frosh participated, and soon discovered, to their dis- may, that the majority of the problems were beyond their capabilities. The executive activities of the Club this year have been well super- vised by President Murray S. Klamkin. Due to the pressure of activities, Professor F. H. Miller has relinquished his position as the Club's Faculty Advisor and has been succeeded by Professor J. K. L. MacDonald. WMA CL B The Newman Club is a club of Catholic culture and fellowship or- ganized to further the social and religious interests of its members, who are students and alumni of all the schools of The Cooper Union. The Cooper Union Newman Club is a member club of the Newman Club Federation which has existed in colleges and universities since 1893. At present there are two hundred and fifty clubs in the Federation. These clubs have been grouped in Provinces in various sections of the coun- try to facilitate the work of the Federation. We of The Cooper Union are a part of the New York Province which is the largest and most active Province of the Federation. Throughout the school year informal monthly meetings are held at which student problems and affairs of the 'day are discussed. Meetings are followed by dancing and entertainment. Social events of the past year have included roller and ice-skating parties, beach and theatre parties, bowling and table-tennis tournaments, the Fall and Spring Dances, and trips to Chinatown, The Hayden Plane- tarium, and various radio broadcasts. The outstanding affair of the year was the Annual Convention of all Newman Clubs. The circulation of the 4'Newmanite, our monthly journal of the club's activities and discussions, has more than doubled in the past year. This paper is written and published by the club members. Through this medium the student may express his views and opinions to other members and to the school at large. Father Patrick Martin of the Holy Name Mission has been our Chaplain since January, 1940. He has endeared himself to the club through his helpful suggestions, his sound advice, and, last but not least, his ever present sense of humor. DRA ATIC CL B Another season, and the Dramatic Club is doing it's part to provide entertainment. This year every member assumed an active role in the club activities. Everyone was on a committee, and, besides acting, worked behind the scenes with the props, make-up, and publicity. Two one act comedies were the first on the program. Noel Coward's F urned Oak, Han unpleasant comedy, saw Herman Goustin slapping new- comer Ruth Hamburger, while Virginia Jackson and Muriel Mayo Cole cried on each other's shoulder. Chekovis Anniversary was a rather gay and talkative comedy with colorful scenery rendered by George Pickow, Albert Mullen, and Irwin Glusker. Charles lVleyerson was hidden behind a beauti- ful beard and Ed .Iastram in an antique bathrobe. Debuts were made by Pearl Gutman and Judith Reen. After Christmas A Happy Journey, by Thorton Wilder, was presented. This production proved to be a stimulation to the imagination, as it was devoid of scenery. lVlost properties were imagined and were suggested by pantomime. The Stage-Manager came out from behind the scenes and ambled off and on the stage reading lines which were those of unimportant characters of the play, thus assuming many roles. Throughout, the remarkable effects of lighting enhanced the play. In order to assume a role in the war effort, the Dramatic Club decided to organize a committee to function during air raids. lt is under the guidance of Mr. Raddin of the Humanities Department, and Mildred Weisman. The organization consists of students who volunteered to provide some diver- sions during air raids. It is gratifying to feel that during an emergency those interested in dramatics will function and do their part in boosting morale. L2 Gloria Marhack, Pres. and ' Ronald Craik, Sect.-Treas. DA CIGCLB One and two, two and one, aw shucks, I can't dancef, So what! If you've got rhythm, that's one leg to stand on, and just one more leg to make two is all you need to enter into the inner sanctum of the Dance Club. If you can wriggle your hips in any form or manner, shake your shoulders, and unearth a suitable co-cat to accompany you, the music will take care of the rest. Any Thursday at 4:40 P.lVl. you're liable to notice a strange look pass into the eyes of the students, and the mad rush for the 'cchromy caverns is on. 11 V Stand back! Let the mighty engineers perform the delicate engineering feat of balancing the tables and benches against the walls. Roll up the rug . . . . no, don't bother!

Come down to the Dance Club yourself. One lesson is, the equivalent of three years at any accredited college. No homework, easy hours, and a bevy of lively teachers from whom to learn the ropes. lnter- ested? Try a free, one week trial and you'll have acquired a habitual .... habit. P.S. If you're in the market for any additional superfluous informa- tion, this is the place to find it. Take for instance Craig-Craik 81 Co .... ah . . . ah, no grabbing, please. The vice-president is Marian Craig, who could qualify as an instructor for Arthur Murray. And last ..... and perhaps least is the Secretary-Treasureri' Ronald Craik, whose job is unique in that he takes no minutes and handles no money. In that capacity he was well chosen to carry on the work efiiciently. CHESS CLUB Each year a number of students here at The Cooper Union have quietly gone about the business of representing the school in a field of intercollegiate competition which unfortunately does not make the sports headlines of the metropolitan dailies, nor for that matter those of The Pioneer. What is this unpublicized field? If you haven't guessed it already, itis chess. Yes, for more than two decades a chess team, sponsored by the Chess Club, has been representing The Cooper Union in intercollegiate chess leagues and tourna- ments, and if one is to judge on the basis of- past records, the chess team has been representing the school well. Last year for instance, the team closed its season with a record of nine wins as against only one defeat. This fine .record gave The Cooper Union the championship of the New York and New Jersey Intercollegiate Chess League, of which the chess club is a charter member. In this seasonas competition the team has already notched wins over Stevens Tech. and St. Peter,s College. The local boys, led by playing captain F. Tucci, hope to bring to The Cooper Union a second champion- ship. Among the elite of the squad is Julius Wolff who was once the cham- pion of New York City while competing for the Boys High Chess Team. Last year during the Christmas recess, the chess team, on the basis of its record, was invited to compete in the annual tournament sponsored by the Intercollegiate Chess League of America, held at the luxurious Marshall Chess Club. The Cooper team did well to place third in a field of teams which included some of the finest collegiate chess players in the United States.

Ledgerwo od ATHLETIC SSO IATIO The Athletic Association is finally achieving its rightful place in the student body, for not only is it the sponsor of all athletic activities that take place in The Cooper Union, but it is gradually becoming the prime publicity agent for all the sport activities in which the student body participates. This is one of the most important functions of the Association. Once again the school financed the Athletic Association, as well as all the Varsity Sports: basketball, rifle, and fencing. The intramurals have again been taken over directly by the A.A. with the result that numerals will be awarded to the members of the Winning team. The Track Club was unsuccessful in its quest for faculty recognition as a Varsity Team. Even though the club was not properly uniformed, its ability to win meets was not hampered, for it had won two summer meets to one loss, and was undefeated in three Cross-Country Meets. Therefore, with this showing in mind, and that of the coming season, we hope that the faculty will grant them the recognition next year which the club will un- doubtedly request. The course in life saving, which leads to an American Red Cross Certi- ficate, has been inaugurated for the second straight season after a very successful first year. The newly organized boxing course given by Mr. Hollinger, our Sports Supervisor,'has been proven successful, as has the day which was set aside at Christadora House for the use of female art students. In conclusion, the Athletic Association wishes to thank Prof. Herbert F. Roernmele, the faculty adviser, for his guidance during the past twenty- two years. - gig THLETIC AWARD Charles Attinson Ben Radzka MAJOR C y Basketball Leon Alent Seymour Chanin Lawrence Epstein Robert Huber Bernard Lerner Raymond Levine Mathew Platt Werner Ross Meyer Rudoif Livio Segalla Bernard Stone Alfons Skorski David Ziebel Rifle Moe Aitel Steve Sawka Stanley R.

Text. 48 Newark Tech 34- Savage 37 Manhattan 51 Newark 37 Pace Under the expert guidance of Coach Tony de Phillips, the basketball team again occupied the spotlight of Cooper Athletics for the 1941-42 season. Though the season's average was 400, the type of opponents and the brand of ball played all indicated that basketball is definitely on the upgrade. Significantly, the Cooper Hoopsters averaged 44 points per game to their opponents, 46 and lost their last two games by the slim margin of but one point. ' As usual, Coach de Phillips was handicapped by lack of material, while losses to Uncle Sam and that old bugaboo, ineligibility, certainly didn't help. By the time the season got under way, the varsity consisted of co-captains Charlie Attinson and little '4Red Bivas, high scoring Freddie Baum, Stretch Boss, and two freshmen uFinds,,' Chick Segalla and Bob Ziebel, the most consistant scorer and the one player who started every game and played the most minutes. Our Mace was the veteran Al Skorski, playing his last year for Cooper. Al had the highest scoring average on the team and seemed to. give them some real hustle whenever he got in there. Unfor- tunately, though, Al couldn't come to all the games because of the pressure of school work. lVlid-year, however, found Freddie Baum in the army, Stretch Ross out because of illness, and both co-captains victims of ineligibility. To com- pensate this, Bobby Huber, and George Greenberg, stars of the 40-41 season became eligible, and Bernie Stone, Matty Platt, Seymour Chanin, and Ray Levine were given more prominent roles. Bobby proceeded to score 0 points in his first game and then 19, 16, 15, 12, and 15 points in the last live to set some sort of consecutive high-scorer record. 1 An innovation in the schedule was the revival of the annual Alumni tussle to inaugurate the season. Contrary to all tradition, the Alumni team went all-out to win and with such former stars as Charlie Schaffner, Zeke Long, and Eugene Lang, really had our boys on the ropes until the last five minutes. Then, paced by Chick Segalla and Big Stretch Ross, the under- grads rallied to win by a 52-47 score. Then followed a season of fourteen college games from which Cooper emerged victorious in five. This record is not as good as that of the last two years, but the competition was stiffer, and-oh well-wait till next year. :-N-, .. ,... . . . -.m.v.-.- JUNIOR VARSITY For the first time since the reorganization of basketball at The Cooper Union, the loyal fans were greeted, not only with the sight of their own varsity, but also with an organized LV. on the floor. Beginning with a turn- out of thirty fellows, the team was leveled to fifteen players. Of the fifteen alittle fellows on the ,l.V., live have shown enough promise to be promoted to the Varsity. Ray Levine is the boy with the dead eye set. Matty Platt is always under the basket laying up the meat ball for those extra shots. Benny Stone is the guy with the drive. Seymour Chanin and the Chop Shot are synonymous. Irwin Thater started this year as the most promising prospect of the team. However, let us not minimize the efforts of the other members of the J.V., all of Whom gave their time and effort to the team. lt is hoped that next year will see as many of them as possible on the varsity. CHEER LEADERS For the first time in Cooper history a real cheering squad backed up the basketball team, thanks to the eiiforts of Natalie Smith, Gloria Marback, Virginia Jackson, Ruth Hamburger, and Thelma Manne. Starting from scratch, since none of the girls had experience and there were no old cheers in use, they worked up a repertoire of 15 cheers, some new, some standard, all enhanced by dance steps and tricky motions. The favorites of the crowd proved to be HOur Team Is Red Hotv done to a big apple step, and '4Roll Up The Score to which the girls twirled full swing in their new maroon and gold skirts. During the past year, the Cooper Union Track Club has made remarkable progress, and un- der the enthusiastic management of Paul Piech, can boast of the accomplishments of its most successful track season. The good re- sults of the club during the outdoor season can be largely attributed to John Woods, who worked with the trackmen in the capacity of voluntary coach. The record of the outdoor track campaign in the dual meets follows: Brooklyn Poly. .................................. 74 -C.U.-51 Newark College ...... ...... 6 115-C.U.-4215 Brooklyn College .... ...... 3 3 -C.U.-43 Savage .............................................. 25 -C.U.-65 p In a triangular meet, the Club placed second with 43W points to Pan- zer's 7615 and Queens 39 points. The Club also participated in the Mont- clair Teachers lnvitation meet, finishing a ninth place tie with Upsala College. The newly organized cross-country team turned in a perfect season of competition on the 4- mile course through the hills of Van Cortlandt Park, defeating the teams of Newark College of Engineering, Brooklyn College, and Wagner College by the scores of 34-21, 36-19, and 33-22 respectively. The cross-country team included Captain Boni Martinez, Walter Cornetz, Dan Coleman, Walter Brooks, Nathan Picker, and Paul Piech. The new additions to the coaching staff will include Mr. Barger, Art School Instructor, in the position of Field Man Coach, and Boni Martinez, as Cross-Country Coach. Mr. Barger was one of the Nations outstanding pole-vaulters in his college days. Mr. Martinez has been associated with the well known 69th Regiment Track Team. With this increase in 'Coaching facilities, plus John Woods, continued Track coaching, the Track Club should top previous performances. TRACK B FE CI G TEAM OMES now the time to boost our ever loving Fencing Club. The club, with the largest membership in its history, has done nobly by itself. The Cooper Girls, Team has beaten all but one of its opponents. Coached by Mr. Greco, they fenced for the first time in the Eastern Competi- tion ofthe A.F.L.A. This is the Big Timen for fencers. Placing second, they were beaten only by the Greco Team, on which a Cooper girl subfenced. The duelling Amazons responsible are: Margie Spence, wielder of a wicked left jabg Jean Dagit, the Jersey cut-up, and Irene Pickle7' Nyski, the Brooklyn ballsof-fire. The club has trained several promising new girls and we'll have a winning team again next year. The lVIen's Team started the year with only one veteran and two novices. We built morale by winning our first meet with the Girls' Team. Cooper then beat the powerful Greco Team and felt swell. The latest match was with Newark College. There was a battle! Each bout was nip and tuck, and when the blood settled, what do you know? We won, 5-4. A Word about these brave fellows. There's Ed Casarella, President, who frightens his opponents by leaping at them with a wild yell. Next is our erstwhile captain, Lee Weinberger, who has improved his thrusts and parries by leaps and bounds to win the most bouts for the team. Low Man On the Totem Polew is Hi llger. Though he is nonchalant to the point of unconsciousness, his blade moves so fast that no one sees his touches. We expect to have a three weapon team next year-foil, sabre, and epee -so we may fence any college. Weinberger and Ilger study sabre and twice weekly hack each other to ribbons and tie each other up. This is nice to watch. Also nice to watch are the class drills, exhibition fencing, games and the Battle-Royal. This must be seen to be enjoyed. C'mup some time and weill cut you down. X.,f RIFLE C Faced, at the beginning of this season, with the prospect of competing against top-notch opposition, the rifle team was stymied at the outset with a serious handicap. After a scufile with Uncle Sam, we lost our coach, Mr. Wilkins, who is now serving his country in the Marine Corps. However, we were fortunate in being able to replace him with a man who is well qualified to undertake the job of coaching the team by virtue of his experience at Annopolis-Mr. ,lean Spenla. flncidentally, the team wishes the best of luck to Mr. and Mrs. Spenla, who were married on February 2lst of this yearj Further serious setbacks were suffered by the team in the loss of two outstanding marksmen to the United States Air Force. We lost to that outfit Messrs. Gardner and Huen, who were called to join a team fighting for a far nobler cause than that which motivates our humble rifle club. Much as we regret the loss of these men, we are proud of them and are looking for- ward to their bringing home the bacon and to their eventual reunion with The Cooper Union and the rifle club! Dogged determination will always win out! Despite the sad stories related above, our reorganized team, angered by pessimistic prognostica- tions, met, in the first match of the year, a highly touted team composed of retired varsity men-and emerged from the smoke of battle carrying the torch of victory! We won by the skin of our teeth-and it was a proud team that then went forth to overwhelm our succeeding opponents, gunning a total of three straight wins! Unfortunately, however, the pace was too fast for our inexperienced boys, for thereafter, they bogged down and lost the following four matches. Toward the close of the season, however, we revived sufficiently to add enough matches to our win column to enable us to terminate the season with a shooting average of 0.500-this, in spite of the fact that our team is largely composed of new men. The final and supreme test of our strength, however, is still ahead of us. At this writing, the boys are looking forward with enthusiasm to the opportunity of raiding the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, where they are anticipating the scoring of a string of XX! bulls which will establish for good their right to wear the school colors. The occasion is the annual rifle tournament sponsored by the National Rifle Association, which includes on its roster the best teams in the country. Our boys are unabashed, however, and, with a season of tough competition be- hind them, they now consider, themselves hardened veterans. Although we must leave behind a new star in our iirmament fwhose light must be blacked out for this event because of pressing defensej our men will advance con- fidently and approach the field of battle with the cry, uStraight Shooting, Men!

With the exception of the Day Art School, participation was complete. The Day Tech Juniors, with a record of 5-O, won the tournament and their num- erals. The Seniors Q4-lj, and the Freshmen Q3-Zj followed. Kass kept the Seniors in the running, but the Junior Combination of Pickett, Hersz- korn, and Leder was just too good. Attempts to bring two other intramural events, six-man two-hand-touch football and water-push-ball have failed due to the lack of student participa- tion. For the second year in succession an American Red Cross Life-Saving Course was inaugurated but had to be dropped because of the aforemen- tioned lack of student interest. A novel feature was incorporated in a newly organized boxing course given by lVlr. Hollinger our Sports Director. This feature has proven very successful. It is as yet too soon to predict the outcome of the '42 softball tourna- ment, but the class of '43 is deemed a big favorite in the league. At the time of this writing they are handicapped by' one loss, but the class they showed in their loss and subsequent victories acclaim them as potential victors. 1 mu 'plfff , I 'lx-gf.: . ... .-f' ,f'zv M !tz,1 'l ,, .

Stephens Byron Ledgerwood Membership in the Ex Post Facto is an honor bestowed upon those members of the CABLE staff who have made personal sacrifices of their precious free moments to lend their untiring efforts to the task of editing and printing the CABLE. These diligent few prove themselves deserving of this reward by their meritorious work. To quote Bud Medon, past Editor- in-Chief of the 1940 CABLE: uThose who remain are workers, those who resign are shirkers! At the opening of the year the Ex Post Faeto had a total of ten active members, a fact worthy of mention, since it is the largest active member- ship in many years. At the first meeting of the year, an organization meeting, the present Editor-in-Chief, Charles A. Erway, was elected Chair- man, Raymond Dahl, Vice-chairman, and Frank Medon, Secretary-treasurer. As in the past, the process of separating the wheat from the chaff again cut down the number of staff members to a small but diligent few soon after the beginning of the term. These have accepted willingly the challenge of the press and, though faced with numerous problems and obstacles, have sacrificed time and energy to help make the CABLE what it is. They are quite willing to endure the long hours of writing, typing, and clerical work when they might, like other less interested students, be home doing their schoolwork. This is, however, the sacrifice required of all who would take part in extra-curricular activity. The Ex Post Facto key is a treasured reminder to the wearer of time well spent, and efforts notmade in vain, and is the coveted goal of all staff members. Y V, EDWIN JASTRAM, Chancellor BYRON M.

SCHILLING FRED KOHLER As well as promoting cooperative and friendly relations among the members of the Staff, Lambda Tau, Pioneer honor society strives to develop the highest standards of college journalism for The Pioneer. Members of The Pioneer staii who have acted in an editorial or man- agerial capacity for at least ten issues may be admitted to Lambda Tau upon a unanimous vote fo the active members. Pledges must submit to a severe initiation which includes wearing the Pioneer banner head on their jackets. As a reward the Lambda Tau gold key is awarded to them at Class Nite. Active membres are those taking an active part in the production as signified by their names appearing in the masthead. Past active members who no longer take a part in the production are classified as inactive and give their expert advice to the staif members. Lambda Tau was formed on Saturday morning back in 1934 after the paper had been put to bed. It rose out of the reorganized Pioneer after the suspension of publication in 1933. Oflicers of Lambda Tau for the year are Edwin Jastram, Chancellor, Byron M. Cole, Vice Chancellorg Milton J. Minneman, Exchequer, and Betty Alden, Recorder. Plans for a reunion of all former members of Lambda Tau have been formulated and it is hoped that this reunion will take place soon. Many innovations have occurred this yearg the editorial page has been completely redesigned, a new Pioneer flag has been designed, and make-up and quality have been improved. Much of this has been through the efforts of Lambda Tau.

Walsh EGA DELTA PHI Four decades ago, a group of Seven Cooper Union Night Engineering students decided to form a brotherhood to strengthen and preserve their friendships. In 1913 this brotherhood became the Omega Delta Phi Fra- ternity, Incorporated, under the Laws of the State of New York. Two years later this small group was given a charter as the Alpha Chapter. With the momentum gained from this beginning, the embryo of this fraternity grew until it reached the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, where the Beta Chapter was formed in 1917. ln 1925 Gamma Chapter was born at the New York University School of Commerce. Still later, in 1928, another chapter was formed at The Cooper Union, this time in the Day School, and was called Delta Chapter. The latest additions have been Epsilon Chapter, at Brooklyn College, and the Zeta Club at St. ,Iohn's University. After graduation the brothers go into the Alumni Club, which is a very active organization. Thus, at present, Omega Delta Phi Fraternity consists of the Alumni Organization, and five chapters spread over the city. Many are the O.D.P. men who have distinguished themselves while at The Cooper Union, and in later life. O.D.P. men have prominent places in most of the school,s extra-curricular activities, many having earned their gold C's. A large number of the brothers are outstanding in their class work, and of these the fraternity is justly proud. lt is the opinion of many that the Fraternity is just a social organiza- tion. That this is far from the truth is shown by the fact that, in order to be admitted as a brother, a candidate must have successfully passed all his first year. subjects. Social life at the Cooper Union is naturally limited, thus the fraternity Omega Delta Pht Alpha Chapter Bottom Row-N. Xikes, R. Cassidy, J. Meienberg, W. Klein. Back Row-W. Gar- rison G Misson J Erickson C Mistron E. Larsen, J. Churko, tries to provide some outlet from school life and to in- crease the members' social contacts. The yearfs calender for both chapters is quite long consisting of many smokers and parties. Delta Chapter's Frater-Pledge party has be- come traditional, each year growing in proportions . This year over one-hundred pledges, brothers alumni, and their lady loves, crowded into the roofs to have one of the most rollicking times the fraternity has ever seen. Every so often Alpha Chapter, has one of its smokers. At these affairs beer and cigarettes abound. Further entertainment is gotten from the pool table and the artistic travelogues someone usually manages to procure. Twice a year the fraters along with their adored ones climb into too few cars to go out into the country to get some fresh air in place of the stale down-town muck. Here they picnic, play ball, or just walk. These fiings are invariably the occasion for letting down the hair. Between a duplica- tion of the charge at Bunker Hill for the possession of the two portable radios, and the futile efforts of several 'chardyn fraters at building a fire, the fall outing enjoyed universal success. ln June of each year ,after all final exams are over, comes the Annual Convention. A program of sports, busi- ness meetings, and a banquet, is attended by Alumni and all chapters. The most recent Convention was held on the Q., Adolph Zukor Estate, Mountain View Golf and Country Club, in New City, New York. During the academic year the frat house suffers the natural deprecia- tion due to the ravages and antics of the fraters and pledges. To counter- -balance this, and also to give the fraters something to do to keep them in form, this summer the rooms were renovated from basement to garretf' With industry and ambition the fraters, mostly chem engineers, preformed such miracles on the house that the famous blue room turned to green, and the main ballroom blossomed forth with a new coat of wall paper with trim- mings of fresh paint. Of course with frequent trips to the '4Sag,', and guzzl- ing of cokes, all was not business but regardless of that the aim was achieved and the face-lifting job was a success. In the midst of other preparations and activities, someone finally got around to the annual job of leveling the pool table. Of course this eliminated the constant presence of Lady Luck, and for this reason most of the boys kept off the table until it again became untrue, for playing with skill is out of their field. Another new innovation was the ping-pong table, which seems to be in constant use. All is not play in a fraternity, for it is an organization that needs good guiding. For the present year the officers of Alpha Chapter were, Charles Olsen, President, Robert Hockenjos, Vice-President, George Misson, Secre- tary, and Carl Mistron, Treasurer. Delta Chapter was ably led by Charles Merz, President, Ernst Juhl, Vice-President, Karl Rothe, Secretary and Louis Thaisz, Treasurer. The blackboards of the little rooml' get quite a bit of use during the help classes which are conducted by the brothers for pledges who feel they need help in some subjects. The large room has a quiet atmosphere, except during lunch hour when it begins to sound like Ebbets Field on a June after- noon. At other times it is a good place for studying. For the musical minded person there is always the rather extensive collection of latest popular re- cordings, or the piano, which, for some unknown reason, still holds together. The fraterntiy rooms are still, as they have always been, conveniently located at 4 St. Marks Place. Guests are never turned away. Anyone seek- ing friends and good fellowship can find them there. The door is always ajar. ALU SSOCIATIO Top: Albert Nerkin, Editor, Charles Schaifner, Sect. Bottom: Edward Fitzpatrick, Ist Vice-Pres., Joseph Meltzer Pres., Irving Fisher, 2nd Vice-Pres. , What good is the Alumni Association? That is the question most fre- quently asked by students-and particularly seniors. What good does it do? What does it hope to do? What can it do for me? Why should I join it? The basic answer to all these questions is given by Peter Cooper in his letter accompanying the Deed of T rust, H .... l desire to make this institution contribute in every way to aid the efforts of youth to acquire useful knowl- edge, and to find and to fill that place in the community where their capacity and talents can be usefully employed with the greatest possible advantage to themselves and the community in which they livef' The purpose then resolves itself into three parts: to help each other, to help the community, and to help The Cooper Union. To carry out these aims the Alumni Association has established a club house where the old and the young alumni can meet, become acquainted with each other and with each other's problems. We perpetuate the celebra- tion of the Founder. Through our Board of Governors we influence the affairs of the community. Naturally the Alumni Association hopes to do much more. It wants to see that The Cooper Union continues on its path to greater heightsg it wants to secure general public recognition of these achievementsg it wants to help every student and graduate to arrive at the position where his abilities are put to the greatest usefulness. Together, through group activities the Alumni Association wants to become a powerful infiuence in the community that Peter Cooper dreamed would be able to improve conditions, economic and political. lt is only through new members, young blood with new ideas and high purpose, with resolution and courage to fight for their ideas that we can rise to new heights. Each and every student and graduate should feel some gratitude for the benefits he received at The Cooper Union. To show that gratitude, he will want to do something for Cooper and for the world. We hope that through the Alumni Association he will be able to add his bit. When all of the Hbitsn are taken together, they make a mighty force. New ways of expressing our gratitude, satisfying real needs, correcting urgent dissatisfactions, improving existing methods are the constant aims of the Alumni Association. If you do not think that what we are doing is the best way, tell us. Tell us how to do it. We are anxious to learn. We are anxious for you to join us. Join us and help us in the way we are going or show us a new way. In any case, join us. We want you to be one of us. This is the appeal of the Alumni Association to you.

IG A 0 EGA Since its inception sixteen years ago, the Phi Sigma Omega Fraternity has labored to uphold the philosophy and the ideals of its founder. It has collected within its fold men of kindred spirit and similar beliefs. It has endeavored to provide a place where these men may gather and discuss their problems in surroundings that are congenial and comfortable. In short, Phi Sigma Omega has endeavored to give its members a house that it as homelike as is humanly possible. In this it has'succeeded. The Phi Sigma Omega Fraternity House now occupies all of the spacious ground floor at 31 Seventh Street. Though not luxurious in the strict sense of the word, it abounds in friendship and companionship which only comfortable surroundings and similar interests can inspire. The fraternity was organized by a group of Cooper Union students in 1926 and incorporated by the State of New York on January 8, 1927. Shortly afterward the Library of Congress issued a certificate of copyright for the fraternity seal. ln 1928, Beta Chapter was organized at the Newark College of Engineering, followed by Gamma, at New York University in 1932, and Delta, at Pratt Institute in 1939. This fraternity has always maintained the highest standards of membership, and pledges a man only after a thorough investigation of his character and qualifications. The usual pledge period is one year, but the pledgee must successfully pass all of his first-year subjects before attaining full membership. Top--C. Gallaer, R. Pfundstein, J. Krueger, Wm.

His days are occupied by his position, whatever it may be, and his evenings are filled with his classes. Thus, having no time to see his friends nor to seek amusement, the student stores up a tremendous amount of energy which must be dissipated in some manner. The P.S.O. Fraternity endeavors to supply this need by conducting various social func- tions during the school year. The most important affair of the year is of course the Formal Dance. This year's gala fete was held at the Hotel McAlpin on St. Va1entine's Day. The great majority of the fraters attended en masse. The graduate brothers of Alpha Chapter came out of their domestic domiciles and dark dens drag- ging their mates or girl friends and in full battle cry, swarmed down upon the Hotel lVIcAlpin in the most gratifying numbers in recent years. Each year the Grand Lodge holds its annual Banquet, a joint affair of the four chapters. This dinner is conducted chiefly to bring together the members of these four metropolitan chapters in order that they may become better acquainted. At the close of the school year, Alpha Chapter holds its Annual Dinner and Installation of Oilicers. This Banquet is tendered to members inducted during the year. After the dinner, which is always excellent, the officers chosen for the coming school year are sworn into their respective offices by a charter member of the Phi Sigma Omega Fraternity. This function concluded the yearly activities of the Alpha Chapter. C U ALPHA OMICRO Elmer J . Badin Edward J . Barlow Emil Cimler James Comins Edgar L. Demarest William Derganc James P.

Youngblood Mu Alpha Omicron, Honor Society of The Cooper Union School of Engineering, was organized in 1926 to afford recognition to students of outstanding scholastic ability who possessed such integrity of character and breadth of vision as commanded the respect of their associates, and to foster, within its capabilities, any appropriate service to The Cooper Union. In 1940, coincident with the recognition of the Night School of Engineering, the constitution was revised to embrace both schools of engineering on the same basis. The increase in membership resulting from the admission of qualified night students enabled the fraternity to broaden the scope of its activities and to function more effectively in their administration. Highlighting the past year's active and successful program was the selection of a new faculty advisor, Professor Frederic H. Miller, Acting Head of the Mathematics Department, succeeding Professor Norman Towle, Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering, who relinquished the post because of the increased pressure of other duties. The Mu Alpha Omicron is deeply indebted to Professor Towle, who served the society in this capacity since its inception, for the multitude of services which he rend- ered, and is sincerely grateful for, and appreciative of, the prominent role he played in so ably guiding the group. Professor Miller requires no formal introduction to Cooper Union engineering students. A charter member of the Honor Society, he has participated vigorously in school affairs as student and as faculty member, and is a strong supporter of improved student- Top J. Hagedon, E. Cimler, K.

E The summer tutoring classes, held for those students wishing aid for tl the fall re-examinations, were continued last summer. Instruction was of- . fered in five subjects, and, from a total of ninety-four students who registered v for the classes, seventy-two attended more than sixty percent of the sessions. Q Of this latter group, forty-four percent passed the re-examination, whereas only thirty-one percent of those who took the fall examinations in these sub- jects without M. A. O. tutoring obtained passing grades. This successful activity will be continued in the future. A new feature of the year's program tl was the presentation of two cash awards of 315.00 each: one to a second 5 year day engineering student, and the other to a second year night engineer- M ing student. These prizes were offered to encourage improvement in scholas- A tic performance and to stimulate interest in extra-curricular activities. Accordingly, the initial selection was based on scholastic excellence, as. M indicated by cumulative averages, and the final choice on a consideration of extra-curricular service to The Cooper Union. Although the modest financial means of M. A. O. makes it impossible to establish these awards on a perma- ,J nent basis, the Society expects that similar incentives will be offered in the future. X15 The Mu Alpha Omicron has outlined an ambitious program for the future and looks forward enthusiastically to a highly successful period gf to come. Cooper students can be civilized when they really want to be in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. The faculty wives helped us to prove it at the senior tea given for all eligibles at a time when the Christmas Spirit was at its height. At 5:00 P.lVl. our own lunch rooms were dimmed into a gentle atmosphere to which the seniors succumbed. Candlelight and two lovely ladies pouring tea furthered our feeling of gentility. Defying all the laws of physics our young engineers glided from group to group with tea cakes and sandwiches all balanced precariously on their self con- fidence. General relaxation on the dance fioor was the finale to this brief contact with what we should be. The Comic Strip Party was the next event on our social calendar. Preparation for these affairs is even more fun than the real thing, the perpetual rivalry between art students and engineers inspired many a nasty dig, such as ARTI the cartoon of April pleading, Please Mr. Tapper, donit make me go out with an en- gineerf' Everyone yells, everyone spatters paint and gives instructions which no one follows. Tops in fun was caricaturing teachers. Mr. Katz was floated comfortably through a blazing cosmos and Professors Shaw and Dowden were relaxed into ofiice chairs with some in- teresting short stories. Came the night of nights and a terrific turnout. Mandrake es- corted the Dragon Lady, Krazy Kat came with Felix, Popeye came stag, and not a mer- maid or an Olive Oil in the whole darn place. Smoky Stover swung forth appropriate music which a gang of appreciative hep-cats pro- ceeded to interpret. g Next came the entertainment which was bet- ter than anyone dared hope. By that we mean wereally didn't think they dared. The play was titled '6Who Killed Prof. Shaw. The act- l48 ing was a little more interpretive than mimi- cry, in other words all our instructors did the impossible in their every-day voices and char- acteristics. Sam Fischer played a quintuplet role. This shortage of actors could be because of the draft, but it probably is because of Fischer's super ability to handle a variety of parts. During intermission Louie Finkelstein gave a lively picture of what Mr. Kantor might do on a twenty-foot thumb-nail sketch of Benny. He was supported by Ed Jastram, a veritable personification of Benny. It would be easy to swear on a stack of Bibles that Benny of the Telegram was inspired by Benny of The Coo- per Union instead of vice-versa. Spontaneity is the order of the day-Ed Casarella will tell you. He decided on a strip tease act an hour before it was to come off fpunj. And mighty teasing it was. We titled it Purity, Body, and F lavorf' In spite of all their inexperience, the fresh- men decided they would give a party that would break all records. Webster Hall was the choice of these Night and Day Art Stu- dents, a definite indication of the extent of their determination. The Artists Frolic broke all records as far as entertainment was concerned. A com- bination of Betty Grable, Evening in Paris, and Madame de Stael all crowded into a smooth white bathing suit, coupled ,with a lassie in glamorous black slinking across the threshold, were the foremost reasons for the evening's success. The whole skit was cli- maxed by the appearance of three masculine F lora-Dora Girls. The orchestra belonged to Jimmy Priest who has come to be known as the oflicial orchestra leader for our Art School Parties. The usual overabundance of men at Cooper affairs, proved to be a harvesting for any possible wallflowers. The snow Hurry which welcomed the party on their exit, was a fitting finish of a gala evening. l49 GREEN ENGINEERI G CAM In 1940, through the gracious gift of Norvin H. Green, great-grand son of Peter Cooper, The Cooper Union received about 150 acres of rolling fields at Ringwood, N. J. At last the dream of many of the school's far sighted faculty was beginning to come true. No longer would Civil Engineer- ing students have to go to Central Park, where, amid numerous questions, they had to set up their instruments to get their practice in surveying. These 150 acres, tucked away in the Ramapo Mountains, were soon converted into a complete Engineering camp that could also give service as a recreational center. The large barn was converted into a dormitory capable of holding one hundred students. This rustic building was equipped with modern plumbing to make washing and lavatory facilities for the students. The old horse stalls were converted into a complete gang shower. A drafting room and lodge evolved from a hay barn. Below the lodge was installed a kitchen with such modern devices as an automatic dish washerq Adjoining the kitchen and under the drawing room was placed the long dining hall. Many of the decorations of the lodge originated in The Cooper Union's shops. For instance, the carriage wheel chandeliers were made by a group of Art School students in New York City, and were later transported to the camp. During the first student session, the freshmen, after their field work, were assigned chores to help improve the physical appearance of the camp. A group of enterprising students, under the guidance of Professor Brumfield, erected a substantial foot bridge over the river that flows across the property. The workers decided to honor the structure by naming it after the director of the camp, Professor Sheiry. The camp is used only during the summer months for classes. Fresh- men are required to attend classes for two weeks, of such an enjoyable nature, that they can never be forgotten. Civil Engineering students now use the camp for surveying practice and for geology field trips. Provisions have been made so that groups of students can use the camp for recreational pur- poses during week ends when no classes are scheduled. With this newest addition to the school, The Cooper Union has again expanded. Not only has a completely new aid to learning been created, but a new recreation center has been made. The students of The Cooper Union will forever be indebted to Norvin H. Green for this thoughtful gift, and to the administration for the fine job they did in equipping the camp for its many important uses. ig., EJACK LEDGE We of the 1942 Cable Stall wish to express our gratitude to all those who have aided us in preparing this yearbook.
