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.

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.

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.

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. Per- -haps he'll change to rubbers to Wade in the canals. Also going along as steward will be the ubiquitous Laurie Fischer Who will serve upunsn and coliee at the slightest provocation. For example HB-elieve it or not officer, lim wading for a canalf, Bill Zdan is the busy beaver type, he's so busy we donit see him much but he's there when it comes to the answer. i Sixth Year Night Officers-Fred 3 Herr, Treas.g Ben Radzka, Pres.3 ' Charles Olson, Vice-Pres.
