Top- A Adverse, J. Rozolis, G. Weiner, M. Coe. Bottom-B. Cole, B. Soroko, M. Minneman, H. Grad, J. 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-

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

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.
