where you learn the subject. lt's drilled in of necessity. 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.

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.

'4What is the basis for this statement? you ask. 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!
