BATEMAN The great loss to The Cooper Union in the death of Dean George F. Bates man cannot be measured by material achievements as one might be able to do were there bridges that had been built, buildings constructed, or industrial plants erected through his direct supervision. However, as an educator, it would not be dillicult to point to such accomplishments that have come about through the elforts of Copper Union alumni: students who benehted through the interests and accomplislnnents of the Dean in the years of his teaching and administration. Born in Halifax, England, July fl, 1886, Dean Bateman manifested always the British traits of thoroughness and insatiable interest in life. Those who review his career cannot help but be impressed by the many facets of his per- sonality, but the two basic traits remain: his thoroughness for details and his interest in the necessary humanities that make the fully rounded life. Stem- ming directly from the latter, biographers will note the Dean's tremendous capacity and energy for untiring work. Soon after 1900, Dean Bateman accompanied his family to New York. Before entering the Cooper Union Day Course in Engineering he spent three years at practical work as a machinist's helper in power plants. While a student at The Cooper Union his three summer vacations were spent in electrical testing and power plant work, as were also the summers of 1915 and 1916. Graduated from The Cooper Union in 1907 the was the class oratorj, Dean Bateman was immediately appointed to the teaching stalls of The Cooper Union Day and Night Schools, serving as an instructor in the Departments of Physics, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. In the early years of his teaching he engaged with his colleague Pinto of the Electrical Engineering Department in electrical and mechanical engineering test work. The First I1Vorld VVar interrupted his teaching activity at The Cooper Uniong for the period of the summer vacation of 1917, he joined with Professors Lucke and Parr of Columbia University in serving as one of the three civilian volunteer instructors on the staff of the U. S. Navy Gas Engine School at Columbia Uni- versity. In May 1918 he was enrolled as Lieutenant in the U. S. Navy and detailed to duties in the training of engineer olhcers at the U. S. Navy Steam Engineering School, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey. IfVhile there, he was in charge of the Department of Propulsion Machinery and later of the Advanced Course, being promoted to the grade of Lieutenant. I-Ie also organized and took charge of a Held staff of investigators in marine engineer- ing for the collection of practical data and information for class purposes and of an editorial stalf for the editing of the subject matter given in the entire school. In 1919 Dean Bateman returned to The Cooper Union as Assistant Pro- fessor of Mechanical Engineering for the purpose of developing the Mechanical Engineering Department which was then a part of the Electrical Engineering Department. In this connection new classroom subjects were inaugurated and the scope of the laboratory work extended. It is of importance to note that under his direction and supervision the Mechanical Engineering Department was expanded to practically double the original floor area. In 1925, Hnances permitted the Hrst of his plans for the development of the Mechanical Engineer- ing Laboratories to be realized by the installation of a Refrigeration Laboratory. This was followed by the Instruments and Auxiliaries Laboratory in 1926, and the enlargement of the Steam and Internal Combustion Engine Laboratories in 1928. In 1925, he was appointed Professor of Mechanical Engineering and was placed in charge of the Department. From 1921-25, he was Chairman of the Oral Committee in the entrance examinations, and from 1922-31, Chairman of the Student Relations Committee. ln 1931, after having contributed largely to the constitution of the new six-year night courses he was entrusted by the late Dean Hartmann with the negotiations which led to their oiiicial registration by the N. Y. State Department of Education. ln April 1932, two days after the death of Dean Hartmann, he was honored by the Trustees by being appointed Acting Dean and again in May 1933 by being made Dean of the Schools of Engineering. To his continual regret, these promotions and subsequent reorganization denied Dean Bateman that intimate contact with the general student body which he enjoyed so greatly in the classroom and when Chairman of the Student Relations Committee. Even under the pressure of administrative duties, however, his happiest moments were those spent in advisory service with the many students who, due to various adverse circum- stances found themselves in diiiiculties, scholastic and otherwise. Throughout the busy years of his teaching activity he was an active member in Professional Societies, Clubs, and Alumni Associations. He was a member of the Council of the American Society for Engineering Education, United En- gineering Societies Library Board and Executive Committee, Standing Committee of Professional Recognition of the Engineers' Council for Professional Develop- ment, Committee on Abbreviations of the American Standards Association, Ad- visory Committee on Biography of the ASME, Publications Committee of 4-the ASME, as well as being an active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society for Engineering Education, New York Electrical Society, The Newcomen Committee, and the Tau Beta Pi Association. He was a Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Director of the New York Electrical Society over the years 1940-117, and President of the latter group for the years 19411-1163 further, he was Chairman of the Survey Committee of The Barstow Award for the New York Electrical Society, and Chairman of the Committee on Meetings of the Middle Atlantic Section of the American Society for Engineering Education. XN7ell known were his activities in the Century Association, and the Grolier, Engineers, and Columbia University Clubs. He was always actively connected with Cooper Union Alumni affairs, having been a charter member of the Cooper Union Day Alumni Association SLILIQQLIISLIH paoguuqnam .rossagold J ,W 'puapq U :sol amzq HV 'appz pzuogssagold 8uqm1z1s1apun uv: Jsol muzq .Ionmsgugurpn me sn urgq Mauzl oqm asoqu pun saarzposse sgq exam oqm QSOILL 'uogssagoxd Sug.ta9ugSu9 amp ug Jsaq 9111 go U12 .SLIIAJHCIILIQXQ irapzzaf we :sol ameq squspms sgq mom oqm asoql 'LIOILIIZCIILIOD 12 Jsol ameq ssmznussrzp sgq :mam oqm asoql 'uogug Jadoog QILL go .IBJISIESQI sq: sn Mouvf guumpz pun sxuapms uroqm 'UOILIH .tadoog sql go Iooqog Il2I.U2119.I39S arp Jo amnprzlg T2 'Holm 'S palpfgm ssgpq payment sq Lggl UI 'mup pun suogmclgnsap pzogqdelgoclom pun 'sdmu 'supannq 'sapgng Jo saumlofx pmzsuoqq IILIQAQS Suptaqumu Annug uopoauoo sgq 'IaAu.u jo sqooq qsqf3u'gf pm: ueopraruv A1129 olqlznpm .taqno suld sapgug SK.IQ7I9P9l2H 30 HE Jo uopgsgnboe arp O1 Jlasurgq Supofx -ap 'uogadasxa ou sem ulzursqugf uuaq 'noadsal sgqz ug 'puma suuam suoLuAuouAs uamjo 9.112 5101991109 pun SJSLIHOQL 'uoggal nzqu go safxgnzu uaaq pxzq sloasaoue sgq amp Suqaag 'alaqn dgqsupi amos pasuas sq .roy ulzaq sqm pasmzslcl Jsout amp 'ngqauptvg pun wzgxfhg ug S.1nqzpzg go asus 'apzool 1911121 sgqm sem JI ey.usnV pmuaa pun '1zpuqso511f 2411211 u.Iaq1.1oN 'lJUlZI.I9Z11'MS 1131101111 UIE.I.I91 IQAQI Luoq .mg mp jo amos Bugpuaosap uaqm.

BURDELL has worked conscientiously toward the im- provement of the school since his appointment to the directorship of The Cooper Union in 1938. One of the outstanding achievements of his administration has been the program of liberalizing the art and engineering courses. This program, which places increased emphasis upon humanistic studies, has provided the student with a truly professional education. DANA VAUGHAN, Art School dean, was appointed to his present position in 1945. A well-known and experienced educator, he was director olf the School of Industrial Arts at Trenton, 1942-19415, and dean of the Rhode Island School of Design from 1928 to 19492. Dean Vaughan has studied at Brown and Harvard Universities and the University of Upsala, Sweden. NORMAN L. TOVVLE was appointed to his present position of Dean of the Engineering School upon the sudden death of Dean Bateman. I-Ie is senior mem- ber of the Engineering School's faculty and was head of the E. E. department for 16 years. Dean Towle had done extensive research work and is a graduate of lfVorcester Polytechnic Institute. VVALTER S. VVATSON, recently promoted to Professor of Psychology, has presided over the Olhce of Admissions and Student Relations since 1939. He has contributed greatly to the establishment of closer relations between faculty and students. His own boyhood and varied experiences account for his understanding of the problems of college students, veteran or non-veteran, male or female. HERBERT F. ROEMMELE, head of the newly formed Division of Indus- trial Relations, has been a member of The Cooper Union faculty since 1927. He graduated from this school in 1925 with a B.M.E. Professor Roemmele is a licensed professional engineer and is former director and vice-president of the N. Y.

SHEWV ul pre- ngineering Give me some men, said Peter Cooper in 1859, who are stout-hearted men and I will return fifty percent of them as fully qualihed engineers. VVhether or not the founder of our school ever uttered those words cannot be proven. Nevertheless, the freshmen engineers are strong believers in the authenticity of the quotation. The saga of the Freshman Class begins on September 17, 1947 when the 108 embryonic engineers entered the hallowed halls of Cooper to register for classes. However, a more interesting and certainly more pleasant side of the Freshman Class exhibited itself at Green Engineering Camp a week earlier when the freshmen were introduced to some ol the faculty as well as to one another. At camp it was discovered that as long as the fellows were well fed and well supplied with sporting equipment, they were a surprisingly amiable group of young men. However, under the conditions of severe mental and physical strain en- countered at Cooper Square, the group underwent a metamorphosis unparalleled in the evolution of man. Gone are the grinning laces seen at camp, gone are the carefree attitudes and in their place are physics books, slide rules and haunted looks. . The group was divided into five sections, and the fellows got to know their own section pretty well. Suppose then, we look into the life and history of a few of these sections and see just what makes the Freshmen Engineers tick. IfVhen Registration Day arrived and all the freshmen joy- fully awaited the beginning of their first day of college life, an event took place that is destined to go down in history. The elite of the group, the mental and physical genii, demanded that they be put in one class. Thus, Section I was born. Variety is the spice of life may well be chosen as their motto, for a more widely contrasted group cannot be found any- where. Charles Tonsils Blaut does his best to prove that good things come in small packages. VVhen Charley whispers, the walls vibrate. Edward Arthurs, a 200-pound bruiser, is certain that the teachers are out to break him. Eddie is particularly wary of Prof. Hollinger and once said He won't get the best of me as they picked him up from the gym floor. Erwin F. Conrad, the Answer Man, delights no one as he rattles off the value of Pi to 32 decimal places or gives the atomic num- ber of every known element. Quite naturally, even a group of such high caliber as this one has a few recognized leaders. Richard Bemis, the drafting pro, promises to continue as the pace setter of the Engineering Drawing class and Paul Burri is likely to continue to astound Prof. Eastham with his mathematical ability. I-Iere we have just a few of the students who have spread the fame of Section I throughout the school. It is certain that they can be relied upon to continue their good work and make full use oftheir exceptional talent. ' lf it's talent you're looking for, you don't have to look any further. YVC have plenty of it here in Section II. Georgie I-Iolfner isn't a professional magician but he is always ready with a new card trick when things slow down. Our basketball quintet, Norman Feldman, Bill Goldstein, Morty Hausner, Bob Reece and Ed I-Iilzinger burn up the court during practice ses- sions so you can imagine how they would play in a real game. Bill Haflin, our star runner, flashed by the mile mark in 5:32. Flashbulbs Goodman always has his candid handy, insuring a perpetual smile from all our instructors. Art Frank and Rudy Hohenberg are the two draftsmen in the class. They can be always depended on to turn out masterpieces of the pencil- pusher's art. Sherlock Holmes Hallock is an ex-piano player. I-le can't play in school though, because he is used to having a glass of beer on the piano while he is playing-for the correct vibrations, of course. Bill Evers, Herb Davison, and Charley f '-EL - a , A S1, vf uw ww H v Heidengren are three of the potential ElL's in the group. They all have some hair-raising experiences in store for them. Lenny Green, who commutes from jersey, just became the heir to a brand new constitution, while the other ex-G.I.'s who live in N, Y. got a 35250 bonus-he's looking for an open man-hole- but if it's a comedian you're after, you'll Hnd it in the shape of Jerry I-Ieilweil, a dainty 200 pounder, who never refuses a butt. Wliexi offering any one of them a job, just say Dave sent me. Section V is in full agreement with the theory of segrega- tion of genii as propounded by Section I. This agreement arises from the fact that the fellows who are most certainly destined for success were all put into one section. CThe fact that the last names of the fellows in Section V all begin with letters between S and Z is merely an alphabetical coincidencej Imagine, if you can, being a part of this seething, bubbling cauldron of mental and physical activity. Picture yourself in the presence of men like Meyer Miken Zonis, owner of the finest collection of Henry Morgan's jokes ever to set your ear drums vibrating. Mike's real talent lies in the Held of making people laugh and he is here at the Cooper Union pursuing a course in Chemical Engineering in his spare time. A character who is perhaps l10t as bright as the rest but who, nevertheless, makes an interesting psychological study is Mel Smith. In the interests of fellows like himself who detest letter writing, Mel, together with Mr. Caldiero, is inaugurating a campaign to have letters of resignation to the Dean mimeo- graphed. Vlfell, there you have them, the richer, the poorer, the bet- ter and the worse, and whom alphabetical chance and good fellowship have joined together-let no man pull them asunder. 151 - if ' UQ. . 5 M .E -y.mF:':::,:,,, ,. ,,-N ' -,, ., ..

By the time your first two years are Finished, you become accustomed to the delieate odors drifting through the fifth floor halls. The sound of expensive equipment crashing to the floor leaves you emotionless and you are a stranger at home with the acid scars on your arms and the acid stains on your fingers. The grind has begun to tell-you get a little weaker, things become blurred and you may even lapse into a coma just as Henry Schwartzberg.

They do not seem like derelicts of the Bowery in appearance, but their talk is strange. The conversation seems to embrace philosophy, politics, socie ology, and a certain amount of talk about free-body diagrams. It's no secret as to who these people are. They are the Civil Engineering Sophomore Class. Leading the political discussion are Jim Boulgarides, Noah Sirota, and Stanley Haug. Harvey Sherman, Don Kirchhofer, and Ted Merkin are gathered around Frank Kovacich as he expounds weightily on some aspect of philosophy. To some members of the class, a correct ap- proach to science is almost as important as a Physics test. Not as concerned with abstractions are Artie Schwartz, Harry Margolis, Billy Michael, and George Polyn. They are talking about the good old days before the war, when you could Hunk a subject three or four times, and still remain in Cooper. The rest of the class are niaterialists- they talk about school work. It takes ten minutes before someone remembers that this is Cooper Square, not Union Square. The signal to go in comes from Leon Laster, who puts the cover on his inevitable pipe and reluctantly deposits it in his pocket. As they enter through the doors, some of the group burst into song. XfVolf Homburger is the leader of the school glee club, and most of the class are in it. The classes are as lively as the discussion preceding them. Perhaps it is one of those inimitable Physics sessions. Somehow Mr. Levin could never quite convince us not to worry about it as he handed out the familiar yellow sheets of paper for another quiz. If it's Wfednesday, and shortly after lunch, the class can be found in the library, busily concocting speeches that would sway the world, or better yet, Mr. Grover. It was in Public Speaking that we discovered that Joe Paduana was an expert bartender, and that Tony lick likes to mess around in boats. And talking about discoveries, imagine our surprise when we found out that Bob Lenz wasn't Tom Sherrier's bodyguard, but actually a member of the class! The Geology held trip is a little excursion that is familiar to all who study Civil Engineering at Cooper. It consists of the inspection of a large variety of rocks in New Jersey, and constitutes an important part of the course. The field trip also gave us our first chance to see what the CE night men look like. YVhen we first saw them climbing into the bus we couldn't believe our eyes. They looked just like real engineers-the Xfkfarshaw ideal-fellows from way out in the field. However, when Howard Elliott started muttering a menacing gripe about Cooper Union courses, we were assured. The night men were only students after all. Mr. Roberts' disregard for all obstacles that would prevent him from dis- playing the New Jersey rocks to his students has become legendary in the Department. This year it rained pretty hard, but Mr. Roberts was not discour- aged, at least not until he noticed that most of the students were being washed away by the current. Then, when he saw that the number of students leaving the bus to look at the rock had dwindled to a mere six, we called it a day. Back at Cooper we sometimes manage to stay Monday evening for the ASCE meeting. That's the time when we talk things over with the other CE's and hear about the strange characters in the junior class. Not only do we hear of such characters as Jack The Gonef Gonick, Leon Abdul Pasha, and Glamor Boy Sicular, but also of the things the class has done. The Juniors have something the school could use more of-and that's spirit. In intra-mural sports there's always a good team in there, fighting. Last year the 3CE's were placed Iirst in practically everything they did, with a few excep- tions when they came in second. This certainly is a tribute to their hustle and willingness to get away from their studies for a while. The latter practice is, however, not as universal as one might suspect. This year the class is loaded down with three labs and it's amazing to find it still playing ball. This year, the volley ball team, with Gil Marin, Sam Erde, Logan Ingram, Ted Aster, Eli Rubin, Les Gabrilowitz, Dick XfVengraf, and none other than our flying sailor, Don Chilton, repeated the victory it had in last year's tournaments. The team gets a lot of moral support from the cheering section in the form of Ruthie Q Mother j Bowden and Gerry Q Guiseppe j Gardner. Ah, yes, not many engineering classes can boast of a girl in their class-and besides, Mother comes in real handy for torn clothing and loose buttons. She carries a portable sewing kit around in her pocketbook, just to make sure that her CE's are not in tattered clothes. esic es spor s, tie s iave ranc met out in o ie i erary wor . iey Bl tlCE'lbl1 ttllt ldTl started the only paper in any of the engineering sections to date. The Survey was started last year and has continued to be published successfully, with Editor Eli Rubin doing a mighty Hne job. Next year the paper will depend on this year's sophomore class to keep it going after the other graduate. If you know any CE's you nlust certainly have heard of those two peerless individuals-Joe Zappo and Rodney P. Dangerfield. Even Professor Embler is acquainted with them. They've got the right idea about things. Nothing seems to make them feel blue. They have been in Cooper for nigh on three years now and are proud of never passing an exam. How they do it is really remarkable for is it?j. At any rate, we know one thing. Unless Rodney stays around, there may not be anyone left to write the CE story next year. Q' sf? -v ,RY AAG! ' Q sis., , . x fbfipfi e ectr' al ng' eering Kirchhoff in his wildest moments could never have dreamt of our Electrical Engineering students. There is no basis or plan for our actions. YVe are unpredictable and defy interpretation. This can easily be verified by asking either our instructors or our fellow engineering students. The first method is the safest of the two because we would not advise anyone to ask the CLE. students about EE. Although the second year is divided into two sections, the split is in name alone, because both sections are over- flowing with characters-weird personalities competing with each other. For instance, there are those who can be relied upon to originate material, such as laboratory reports, and those who can always be depended upon to originate the thirty-nine carbon copies of same. There are those who sleep in the Mathematics class and those who prefer the Mechanics Lecture. On the average we all lead a well- balanced academic life. X'Ve have our Messrs. jack Priest and john Nolan, who are two reasons why volleyball nets are so high, despite the frantic pleas of Loveman to lower them .... Murray Sil- verman, heartily seconded by Oxley, still feels that 9:30 A.M. is an ungodly time of the night. Of course, Murray Preisler has a legitimate excuse-he,s married. I-Iy Stein is interested in turning Hunter College into a U.S.O., while Bill Horozan is trying to buy commuter tickets on the Lexington Avenue Line .... VVherever there is an intellectual long-hair, on a female head, you'll find Harry Spett .... Bob Kanzler has stopped smoking again this year and Sid Kaufman's expenses have risen accord- ingly. Big Jim Spool is make-up man for the Pioneer and wishes he could make up with his girl as easily .... A. Roth, known to his classmates as C. B. DeRoth, seems to be hav- ing operator trouble with the projector in the Physics class lately. Recently the contraption snapped on his arm, so the rest of the class had a ten-minute break while he was being pried loose. Y'Ve are taking up a collection now for services above and beyond . . 25.4122 5 Dali's right hand man, Richter, is the expert on surrealism .... Jerome Sable is writing a book of the wrong answers to the Mechanics problems, while Matcovich is seeking the answers in the stars .... Mel Stern and Bob Cox promise to take apart and then integrate anything they can get their hands on, including an erector set .... Spann and Romagnoli are always nearest the door-expecting a phone call, boys? . . . Silverstein doesn't have enough homework to keep him busy, so l1e's getting married. . Archie Boscia, popping in and out of uniform for the Hrst few months of the year, has linally decided to stay with us-subject, naturally, to overruling by the Mathematics department. He's interested in this new fraternity, Sigina Kappa Tau .... Herb Dropkin and T'VZlllQ Springer are the original copy boys for most subjects, while Kestenbaum and Phil Geller produce the most traveled Physics reports .... Jerry T'Vhite captains the volley-ball team between his oil drop experi- ments .... Reiser says: The heck with elephant hunting-porcupines are my meat! . . . Munt, when not knocking off his straight A's is an able assistant. John Simms would like to see a coke-no hypo's necessary-bar set up in the new lounge. Agresta agrees to tend the bar, provided he can have the bar-rag squeezings. Hammer would sweep up-all he wants is the bottle caps .... Knock three times and say, McSorley sent me. The way Kernan and Hofmann are synchronized still amazes the boys. They always finish the physics problems at the same time-maybe its hand signals under the table-it wouldn't be so bad if their code wasn't in German. Irwin Leitner persists in co-managering the volley-ball tournament despite threats from opposition sources .... Cy Roth and Charley Schneider are still going steady to their tenth Hoor rendezvous in the tradition of old Section 5 .... Falk, the Section orator, has volunteered his services to F. E. Boone .... Knapp is still the brother-in-law of Fang Madarotz by a questionable bond. Max I-Iot Lipsl' Geller is the only man known to have survived the horrors of the Hunter College locker room. We're still trying to hnd out just what happened that day .... Mfalt Baby Faced Edge was last seen trying to shoot his way out of Adler's. He still insists that he had only one cup of coffee. Girls! If you want to get into Schwartz's little black book, just speak from the diaphragm .... Irv Hammer lhlly not get ahead in the day school but those night school courses give him a head start. 'We all knew what the A.P. went through when we saw Max Kerman with a new suit .... Phil Goodman and his Nellie are still going steady even though she's kind of chattery and in need of a grease job. The third year 1212's have their characters, too. Their theme song is Once we were happy, but now we're F.E's-our lives they have stolen away. VVith minor variations, this plaintive ditty is constantly to be heard echoing down the halls of the I-Iewitt building-and, with good reason, too, since the third year has just emerged from under a stack of Electric and Magnetic circuits problems and M.E. Lab reports, only to be snowed under by Electronics and Machines Lab reports. Sympathy was given to Alfred Frankel when Mr. Gerardi, civilization instruc- tor, informed us that Frankel's brother died. Sympathy was taken back soon after Mr. Gerardi learned that the deceased Frankel was a hgrnent of Al's imagination. Unanimous vote gave Seymour Gordon the title of Class Historian. Gordon gave a speech in class on Louis XIV of France, and was so far off base that he had to be excused. Man of Extinction is the title sported by Herb Cohen-not that he is opposed to the right of free speech, but, when he is trying to do a problem he prefers the 1'CSt of the class to remember that silence is golden. Still, the air is silvered when Cohen wants a question answered. Joe Turtil is another man to whom silence is preciousg that is, precious because of its rarity when Joe is around. The Army gave Joe many shots for yellow fever, typhoid fever, and the like, while he was in Korea, but unfortu- nately, the only type of shot yet found to keep joe quiet could not be administered because it is 100 per cent fatal. It musn't be thought that the EE classes were frivolous, however. To use Mr. Jastrow's favorite expressions, the work done in his Analytic Mechanics class was both good and okay. Other instructors will give the same reports of the classes, and posterity will confirm them. im , '- , --K Elm: e 1 Q., .A , , r? -, I I. A.

I X r echani al ngineering By some strange coincidence, the hrst hour of the new school year for the Sophomore Mli's happened to be Kine- matics Drawing-and before they knew it, they were well started along the straight, but very narrow road to becom- ing great engineers-at least that's what Prof. Griswold told them!! And it's the truth-about the road being straight and narrow, that is!! Everyone said that Kinematics would be easy-until a problem involving twenty-one instant centers was given on an exam. lt wouldn't have been too bad, except that some of the geniuses such as Eli Reshotko and company had to get the right answers. Speaking of geniuses, this class has more than its share. If you were to walk into the Math class, you would probably Hnd Gene Wachspress arguing with Prof. Miller about next month's assigmnents. On the last exam, we found out what an advanced problem is- a problem that Prof. Miller couldn't solve for two days, that you're supposed to work out during a one-hour exam! At the beginning of the term, Lenny Belkin would have been easily mistaken for one of those forgotten men of the Bowery. But, Mr. Caldiero's insistence that college students should wear a white tie and tails has prompted Lenny to buy a tie. He now wears it with his best polo shirt. Cooper Union has quite a few characters roaming through the halls, but no other section can claim Artie Kaplan, the man who sleeps in his talk. He is a second Mumbles when he comes to Public Speaking class. Still, he manages to get around, as he is on the Varsity Basket- ball team. joe Engelberg is another exception-he is un- doubtedly the bravest man in the class. After a long, tiring trip by IRT to enemy headquarters at Hunter College, he persuaded Miss Subways of Nov. 19117 to pose for cheese- cake pictures. Knowing Engelberg, it is hard to understand why he returned to Cooper. The Physics Dept. is in a dither over this group-or over one student in particular, anyway. It is rumored that Prof. Read and Mr. Levin can't decide Bernie Fisher's grade-shall it be D, or E, or F-or shall they go all the way-with a capital Z? . And so, as the M. E. Dept. gets its first glimpse of the ME Class of 1950, we leave these relatively quiet boys for a group that will leave you speechless -the Jr. ME's. This year, the almighty authorities tried to subdue this cozy little group of Third Year ME's by splitting them into two sections, but as usual they were fooled. The schism brought forth some hidden talent and the students are just about as nutty as they were last year. The principal hangout of at least half the class seems to be the CABLE office. There is a good reason for this, as the class is well represented in each of the groups that make this office their headquarters. Howie lVIolk is the treasurer of the Activities Plan, while Dave Young and Hank I-Iirsch are, respectively, Busi- ness Manager and Associate Editor of the Pioneer. The CABLE Staff is just about packed with 3DME's. Bob Sheridan is the Editor-in-Chief, Cy Freeman the Business Manager, and Eddie Greenberg the Advertising Manager. In addition to these, Joe Deare, Bernie Hillman and Ernie Oppenheimer are on the staff. Others who use this oflice as a central point for doing their ME lab reports and EE homework are Howie Silfin, President of the Athletic Association, and P. Friedman, whose only claim to fame is being class president and Presi- dent of the Student Council. All of the members of this class are still amazed at dynamic Whispering Herb Roemmele's lectures. Though it isn't yet known whether it is the weight of the subject or Prof. Roemme1e's forceful presentation, it is known that when the bell rings, the class sits in a daze until someone breaks the spell about three minutes after the Prof. has left the room. Only once to our knowledge has some- one failed to succumb to the mesmerizing spell cast, and beat Prof. Roemmele to the door in a fair getaway, and the man to claim this honor is Joe Deare fof course he had tl1e unfair advantage of being closer to the doorj. In compiling this yearbook, the staff photographers came across a few odd- ities in photographing this zany group. One picture was taken in the ME lab with the time for the next reading chalked on the board as 3:17 A.M. They always did say the lab periods were too long! Another photo taken during a Civilization exam, when developed, revealed what appeared to be a certain student assiduously studying another's exam paper. Not to mention names, but if you were Dave Young, would you copy from Howie Silfm? The BRB, which by now is quite notorious, has expanded to a total of nine characters. lt was at the M12 Christmas Dinner that the BRB was Hnally given quasi-official recognition by being mentioned three times by Prof. Hope, the guest-of-honor. Other less fortunate individuals from the 3DMIi and other sections are striving to gain admittance to this highly exclusive group, but can't seem to fulfill all the requirements. Those who are crazy enough aren't 3DM12's, a prime prerequisite, and those in the section who aren't already members just seem to have a few inhibitions too many. In closing, Gus Rothmaler's classic rejoinder should be included. At the KiS.M.E. Annual Christmas Dinner, of which Dave Young and Eddie Greenberg were co-chairmen, Prof. Roemmele was given a megaphone to aid in being heard. YVhen he said that he would be afraid to use the instrument, as he thought that he would drive someone out the door, Gus replied that he ought to use the thing reversibly!!

Many of us have been waiting a long time and now that we are here, we aim to take in all we can. VVhat do we hrst Hnd upon entering Cooper Union's hallowed halls? We notice that Cooper Union has two groups of students: those with clean hands and those with dirty hands. Wait-I'1n wrong! Sometimes the art students' hands are as clean as anybody else's at which time they refer to themselves as architects. The utter frankness and open mindedness of art students is a wonder none can comprehend. They all knowingly admit that they know what they are about. It is true that they have goals and aspirations. But alas, these are so far out of reach that one must work blindfolded and let the laws of chance govern the final products of their labor. lt is indeed wonderful to see the magnificent creations contrived by this method. lfVitl1in this group of artists there is a select society which only a special type olf creator can enter. It is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Art. Belonging to this sanctum are the very snobbish commercial artists. The S. P. C. A. has set as its main goal the destruction of the mad artist who spreads the disease of hydroabstractionobia, This has led to dissension in the art school ranks. Opposing the aims of the S.P.C.A. is that super exclusive group which calls itself tl1e Artists Federation for Liberal Contorted linpressions Organization. Tl1is group is made up of the line arts students. The nieinbers of tl1e A.F.L.C.I.O. are Conducting a drive to ruin tl1e connnercial artists completely by refusing any form ol retribution for the paintings tl1ey produce. Experts believe that this move will cause heavy casualties to both sides. However, internal strife does not interfere with the ever gallant spirit of the art connnnnity. We can still find an S,P.C.A. student dancing with an A.F.L.- C.I.O. student every Tuesday night at 5:30. The question nevertheless remains: YVhat does a freshman think of Cooper life? One day while in the sixth floor lounge, we overheard several people, one of wl1o111 was a f1'CSl1IHZlIl, 1TllIllllJlll'lg to themselves. Despite tl1e fact that we are told it is inlpolite to eavesdrop, we listened in and took down tl1e following Conversation: Freslmmn: You ask me for my history I answer with profidity, Yes, answer with prohdity. It starts at Cooper on the Square, Mlhen alterations took place there. All: Yes, alterations took place there. lfrcslzmari: The work is hard but we're not complaining Because on the side it's quite entertaining, This sort of thing takes a great deal of training But our love of tl1is work will never start waning. All: Oh banish your timidity And with haste and rapidity just watch us and you'll notice Our trip to invalidity. Freshman: On one of the days there's a course about life, Art for art's sake and nothing for vice. Long, thin, short, lat, closely bound, One guy always makes them round. YVhile another on the other hand, Sees squares and prisms on the stand. A beautiful maiden can't see the connection 'Twixt the model and M. EQ F.'s abstract perplexions. ln the midst of our work, the break is here, And we all drop our paints and start rushing- AII: X'VllCl'C? Freslznzun: To a hare floor and walls and a long wooden table , Known as a lounge in many a fable. Here nine of ten doctors heed the strange call, 'l'hat n1an's best friend is the longer Pall Mall. Azztlzorsz X'Ve hope this writing you'll comprehend, VVe c'an't think of more so this is the end. And so you see the impressions left on a freshman after his initial studv of The Cooper Union. And now as the sun sinks behind John xVLlIl2l1I12lkC1',S we bid a fond farewell to dear old Cooper Union. XVC board our quaint subway trains and leave, for the day, this 111ec'fa of downtown Manhattan. Aloha! A short time ago a line art student was asked hv an architec'ture stu- dent il' he was going crazy. His answer was no, but sinee he is an artist we can hardly believe him. XVe suspect that he deliberately withheld the truth because he saw that others were eneroaching upon his hallowed ground. The sacred right ol' going mad was a privilege once reserved exclusively for the creative artist-could this privilege be that common that even the ordinary Arcliiteets and Industrial Designers can enjoy il? From all res ports, Yes! Right now, we should judge that the ,X.kI.D. students who were planning to go or who were going craly, must by now be past the city limits ol Madness and hy May should be well on their way towards 'll'1ugs. It is dillieult to think that such a thing eould happen to archi- teels, persons who are olten thought ol' as displaying stable and reliable L A K'll1ll'2iCl.L'l'lSllCS. Yet here we are lo prove it! Such a catastrophe, however, can he easily explained. In the lirst plare it seems that we are running a race against time in the ellort to absorb all the knowledge the course has ar hitectur l and 'ndustrial design to offer. It is a tremendous undertaking, particularly for the brilliant student that wants to do a complete job. VVe have unfortunately discov- ered that of the nineteen students in the class, nineteen of us are brilliant! How can we deny it? As a consequence the class seems to run on the order of cut-throat competition. Aside from the fact that all wear iron collars everyone remains up on their toes with their nose to the grindstone. The strain of this unnatural posture is terrihc. Day and inight the race of scheming up better ideas goes on. It manifests itself in a statement like the one overheard, Yes it's a great idea, I Hgured it out while I was sleeping. There was even a stu- dent that confessed to the unpardonable sin of having the time to go to the movies. You can see that although we may be half-crazy, reeling and drugged from the loss of sleep we are always on the brink of genius. Studying is not all work and we provide many diversions to keep our- selves amused. Take the game jungle sounds as an example. It is a won- derful way to relax, we are told, and requires absolutely no concentration. Inspired by the Marten Sc Olsa Johnson Borneo Hlms we adapted the' tech- nique and it caught on like wild fire. Merely start with a small group and let each person imitate an animal or even three or four if he's capable. Lions,' Yaks, Babboons, anything at all, and the result is, breep-cheep cheep-ick ick ick-oich oich and baroopf' Reverse the game into exciting twists such as hyenas and seals in distress. All we can say is that nature is wonderful. - lfVe will not reveal the great inventor of jungle sounds nor the peo- ple that play itg we will, however, introduce the rank and Hle and let you judge for yourself. Take Herb Shalat for instance. Herb is .still going strong and will get on his knees and play jolson for you at the drop of a hat. l-Ie is happy as ever but a little worried about the talk going on of feeding the ulcers brought on by the pressure of work. He claims that there is an invisible person running about whispering, It's better to be healthy. Others have heard it also. Al Rola doesn't seem to be bothered much as he strolls by smiling and with a copy of The Architectural Forum under his arm. l'Ve understand that someone once said unkindly that all walls have Rola's, but we know it to be a falsehood. Al keeps us happy when he plays his guitar and has become quite famous over the school broadcasting system-those little boxes that transmit to the Dean's oflice. Al Martin, however, is not looking for fame. He seems to be satished because he can sum up all the complicated aspects of giving an architectural criticism in a few words- It doesn't bother me much. In addition to Al we boast of many more interesting students. From the exuberant happy-go-lucky Berny Rothzeid to our own, young Dr. Malone, we are not to be outdone. There is patient Murray Goldstein, boy industrial designer, who is still mumbling something about waiting 1 for Mr. Stein . . . Harry Suriff who keeps us in suspense as the betting odds go up on whether or not he'1l be in before nine forty-hve . . . Eugene Jaffe who is so good we can't find anything to say about him . . . Andy Mitro- poulos who is planning a coup d'etat of the A.D.l. with Vic De Nigris . . . Joe Rosen who we suspect operates very mysteriously under that smile and Guy Giordano who is still turning out swell poached eggs-or is it ppshays for Mr. Snow? In contrast to these people we have Murray Miller and Tom Condit. Mr. Miller is not the gay carefree youth of last year-he's married now, which is something that is liable to happen to the best of us. Instructors, however, are still stunned and students fascinated when they hear that terrifying, booming voice say, May I ask a question? Tom, who is also fascinated by the voice, still continues to paint the most Darlin' ties on illus- tration board. It is an art he claims to have acquired during the thirties when he lost all those New Jersey night clubs in the crash. Speaking of losing things we are tempted to say a few words about Barney Berliner, Christened as the V.A. kid, Barney has become champion for us in matters pertaining to government legalities. Everytime he goes down to see Dr. XIVICI1 we lose a year and chalk up that much towards the time it will take us to graduate. Barney means well but we suspect that Dr. Mfren can see him coming. There is one person who loses no time at all and that is Dan Stewart, the mystery of the Sphinx. He is always to be found smiling and relaxed with his work completed weeks before anyone else. He lives in New Jersey and it has us stumped as to how he does it. Frank I-Iavlik was also stumped. He was amazed to learn that everyone spent the week-ends doing homework. That's sure a comforting thought, said Frank, I thought all these guys were geniuses. The greatest problem in the class belongs to Emanuel Mevorah. He wants to Hnd out who it is that keeps putting bananas in his locker. WVe believe it to be some designer seeking revenge after having beenrefused a cigarette. WVe can hardly blame Mevorah for refusing as Chet Abend is a constant drain on his supply. Abend, the great experimenter of last year, is too busy convincing people of the worth ol his experiments to be concerned with buying cigarettes. We be- lieve it was he who invented a paint that adheres to air. In general you can say that we are really very happy and it is doubtful whether we will all actually go mad. As long as we have Dr. Ehasz, the connnon 1nan's Einstein, we will remain at the norm. VVe sincerely feel that our Frank, who dramatizes the course with board erasers, flying chalk and one thousand jokes for every occasion, is the greatest engineer since Da Vinci. Everyone, we must admit, has made a brilliant effort to instruct us. I-Iere we shall men- tion Mr. Allen and the valiant attempt he made. One day he tried to capture our interest in Emerson with such gusto that he almost ended on the Hoor gag- ging in a fit of ecstasy. With people like this behind us how can we miss? TfVe predict the birth of a new Renaissance to take place in the architecture and industrial design class. Look Out!!! fine and graphic arts lg 1 . Q l , This school is filled with many people who think themselves artists, but actually few exist outside the Fine Art sections. Only a person devoting his life to fine 2ll'E could develop that abstract abstraction of personality necessary for becoming an artiste. Other sections 1nay have their comedians, their great guys, and their women-but we have our artistes. Sometimes the line artists get hungry and we are forced to eat. This year, because of the excessive demands of many inconsiderate individuals, we have been forced to engage in extra curricular activities other than eating lunch. The transportation situation became one such focal point. The workmen engaged in remodeling the Foundation building had taken possession of the lift, and we had to take time out to convince them that we were members of the faculty or models so that we wouldn't muscle our legs like the common masses. Wliat fair young art student with the initials Blanche Spiegelman, in order to spare her lily-white feet, swore by The English Heritage, Part Il, that she was a model? But there were other extra-curricular activities this year. YfVith the comple- tion of the Foundation course, the class parted ways, branching off into Fine Arts, Architecture, and Advertising. This division was marked by the fact that the advertising and architecture students adopted formal attire Qwhite shirts, ties, and jacketsj while the Hue artists spent their time developing the new look, fblue jeans, fourteen inches from the floorj. However, a year at Cooper Union had not made complete artists of us, and our days at Green Camp were characterized by the behaviour one expects from adults. No soap, radio -poor Rita . . . and who laid the egg in Ruth Resnieow's bed? Also, we will never forget the gatherings in 10's place, or scaling seven unlit dusty flights up into the Nunneryg a knock at the door, a hearty push and a bottle of wine admitted one and all . . . or the time Professor Zucker asked Qon the occasion of the epidemic of Cooper sweat shirtsj, W'hy are you adver- tising the Erin? It is only fitting that at the end of the school year a few presentations are made. For ourselves, the Fine Artists, we naturally have a garland of morning glories, to the Advertising Class, a specially built 14 karat gold Hlled croquill pen and for the Architects- the best seat in the house Qrefer to arcl1itect's manuals for the size and shapej. 1 l ,s If you should chance to visit the sixth Hoor lounge, you would see as we have hinted, a great difference between our bohemians and the rest of the student body of this esteemed institution. lfVe have in our midst, a motley collection of intelligent and tal- ented people comparable to the monkey, fa natural consequence of the evolution of manj. Tl1is brings to mind one of our classmate's remarks, There are actually three of them, but the integration is so absolute that you cannot differ between the primary abid or the ZlPOStCO1'1.H Representatives of the longer cigarette are Riargaret and Bar- bara and representing absolutely nothing at all-Abe. Vivian brightens the class when she is here while Bill brightens it even when he is absent! Politically we are represented by the ardent soap box reac- tionary, Stan, musically by Nancy with the lilting voice and Marilyn's harmonious monotone. And, of course, there is the enchantress Gloria, the main character in the case of Mr, H. and Plaster in the eye. In addition, there is Mutt and in the persons of Lucy and Edith. Edith also has attained fame by her curious and undisputed talent for emitting strange noises from the vicinity of her mouth. We must also mention our charming primitive, Jeanette, Meyer and Steve who will antagonize anyone for the sake of an argument-and the var- sity's morale boosters, l'Vinnie and Frankie, as they all joined the A.P. this year. The veritable institution of marriage has few constituents in our clan but the two ardent protagonists are Ester, the lady with the red hair, and Mrs. Beal, the mainstay of the kitchen detail on our trip to Green Camp. And last, but not least is Hank Qneed more be said?j. That is our class Qwith the exception of Jo, Rita, Betty and Blanche who need no mentionj. A more prolific and versatile group can never be found. Versed in the art of the glib tongue, inventing alibies, and being generally general, they are bound to get nowhere last. Subjectively speaking they are in a wonderful class, and don't think the class doesn't know it. Thank God there's a night school and thank God the fine artists attending it work for a living. YVhy we eat, breathe, talk and even behave like other human beings. Now that we've completed a few years at Cooper, we not only look like 2111 students, but we're even learning to paint. Nil' Some people think that extra-curricular activities are just for day fine art students, but that has certainly been disproved. Several of the femmes even rented a bungalow called Artemis Lodge for the summer at the shore-imagine twelve women under one roof and not a single squabble! VVe also started the year off with a bang by running a successful Sadie Hawkins dance. The excuse has gone, but the gals are still chasing the men! Heh heh-smug, aren't we! Naturally, there were some who dropped out of the running. Shirley Radin completely ignored our fto quote Professor Shawj famous matrimonial bureau and became engaged to a Pratt man, the traitor, but Jackie Eisenberg, forever faithful to Cooper Union, has attached her loyalty to a llth year architect student, Bernard Burg. V VVhat fun, working eight hours a day, gulping supper, and dashing off to class every night, followed by parties, outings, and more parties every weekend. Not that it's in the least bit fatiguing, but oh! for a 48-hour day! That would mean' 24 hours of sleep fas suggested by jack Reid, smart manj, and then we wouldn't risk staggering into school and being ousted by some misunderstanding upper-classman. Green Camp is not to be forgotten, fellow artists. Mfonderful, isn't it? Those of us who were fortunate enough to be able to take a trip there, found, aside from its inspiring beauty, a way to relax completely. That is if you weren't tobogganing, playing baseball, football or eating. Ahhhhh-to be lounging in front of that wondrous Hreplace with about twenty or more odd bodies sprawled around. But more about us! In the middle of the year, we opened our arms to welcome three latecomers -Jo Katz, Claire Solomon, and Diana Ferrando who insists that she can stay in class all period without Joey Boy. We don't agree, but so what. Vile love them both. VVhat a pleasant surprise to see Betsy Tyree's beaming face in PM every couple of days. She can model for us F.A.'s any time. In fact, so can Dimitrius, who is the handsomest guy in the world, in the country, er well, at least in our class. This is the year that the one-year old Lambda Frau died a slow death. Poor Carol Glass never did get initiated. The only important thing it accomplished was a HS1HOOCl1 Sam Smooklern week. In spite of relative failure, greater success for this institution is predicted for the future-no slight meant to Sam. gxs S S .1 s ss X NN Jr , if ll '0 f fu-111,- ' ' 4-uwugybv,-? 1 ll rfumplll' 'Hi ,,. ,nf-N S ,ff 1 E M r' -1 XL-bv!! :Wi i E n f 1 x 9 z i rf 3 N 1' 4' S MH ef' 3 X X 5 ' Ka, 5 .x X I K ,JF sg -Q.. .Wm ss. - 's sssx ,N ssss s ss '- Ns s s,ss Our returning fashion-plates found that theirs was not the only framework that had acquired a new look. Cooper had undergone a face lifting during the summer months and there were many changes that were slightly bewilder- ing at hrst and many that continued to be so for many months. VVe found a vicious rival for the affections of our unique elevator in a group of dirt-filled wheel barrows. The fellows took their best blar- ney and put it into useg the girls, their sweetest smiles and the war for possession of the elevator began. fSurely we have more personality than a sloppy mass of wet cementlj After the first week or so, the elevator operators caught on to all the angles and it wasn't an oddity to Hnd empty coke bottles, cigarette smoke, the swearing of poker and the silence of chess in rooms along the first floor. ' During our initiation into second year Day there was a mad shuffle between 2C-l and 2C-2 to compare teachers and class procedure. Wliztt this folly was to accomplish, few frustrated jr. Rands and Lustigs could say. YfVe cased each proposition and laid our foundations for the year's work. Little Schutzie designs blossomed forth in 2C-2 under the guiding eye of our most talked about feminine figure around school. Monday became a frustrating bout with numer- ous thirty by fortys for Mr. Busa's students. But let it never be said that we ever lost our respect for these monstrous specimens, although one could hear the most colorful language drift- ing from 702 on these days. advertlslng and ecorative arts 's fa The Whiffenpoof Song might well be adopted by the har- ried advertising students as their battle hymn. These lambs were abandoned periodically and found it diHicult adjusting to each new instructor Qto use polite languagej. Meanwhile the ominous rumble emanating from 106 was just the warm reception of Mr. Marein's protegees in chisel point lettering and pencil tracing techniques. Fond of body and limb fall in one packagej Mr. Marein launched into an interesting problem of abstract form and their influence in advertising layout. There was also the day that a sign appeared which stated that, Mr. Marein has changed to Buckeye because Buckeye is cheaper, signed A, Hack Qthat fellow didn't want an A anywayj. The sighs that followed Mr. Narclin through the halls were well deserved by this handsome new addition to the art faculty. We found him to be an excellent Graphic Design instructor as well which made him a welcome asset to the school. You could invariably find a few truants from Mr. Filmus' class kibitzing among the easels in Mr. Mangravite's room and a few victims retaliating. Does anyone know how many trips Fred, Bill, Joe, and Marty made to McDan's and McSorley's a day? There must have been some reason they sing the way they do. Speaking of this influence, who started the snake eyes fad in the sixth floor lounge? After a while we all acquired that longing, haggard why- did-we-take-advertising-anyhow look from the burden of home- work. It didn't seem to interfere with our trip to Green Camp in December where the question of the hour was VVhy is John Seneres so bored with Green Camp? We began to wonder how many laurels Dick Hubsch and Marty Giurico can trade with Don Miller and Bill Farr in adver- tising. It seems to be a mad race .... Need a demonstration in heating a cold studio? just ask the master-Danny Vlfoskoff! It won't be long before the hard work starts paying off and that should make Gene Crugnola admit it was worth it .... Have you seen the latest pictures of Beth Charney?

The place is infested with proud papas, Git Huie having joined the tribe last summer. Speaking of tribes-that cute miss, Mary O'Keefe, certainly had full reign over 2C2 being the only brave damsel in the class. . . . Wliy not propose a resolution to the student council retain- ing Marv W'ax's group for lounge entertainment? VVe certainly need inspiration, although with the example set by mad-man Dubitskyf' do' we need any more? The man to watch is Al Templeton-the fellow is brimming with talent. .c . . No one can seein to imagine why Ralph Hinch- man and Lil Silverberg have that frustrated creative design look after a day with Mr. Busa. Our class would not be exactly the same without our prob- lem child, Maxine Fields. Really, we ought to buy a leash for her and take turns walking her around the school. It seems every- one takes advantage of her poor easy-to-look-at personality. Sorry fellows, she doesn't go out with Cooper engineers any more. YfVe heard her say it a dozen times. It's surprising how fast the year has gone by. In between deadlines, we sifted our philosophy and English notes, stacked our better advertising, graphic design, and lettering problems in a hopeful portfolio, hid our canvases, and prepared our draw- ing tables for our senior year. Don't be misled. All this time, there was another group in Cooper aspiring to be .advertising graduates, known as the Night advertising classes. VV e consist of clerical workers, ditch diggers, garage caretakers, and unemployed artists-mainly the latter. Gee, it's wonderful to be a sophomore and have new classes such as Graphic Design and Lettering fsorne students still call it Printingj. Thanks to this last class, Rae Magasiner learned how to write and now goes around writing notes on the bulletin board-there's no stopping her. -,jx. Next to school, the most important thing in life to us is a job, and next to jobs, the most important thing in school is work-not because the Daily Wo1'lte1' advocates butter on our bread but because we don't like Oleomargarine. Mfe have remarkable talent and striving young artists. We have an assistant to an assistant art manager Qsharpens pencilsj, Jack Hammer, who works all day long on an idea and finally brings it up to his Lady Boss who looks it over Very critically and says: 'Tm glad I thought of it. A peek at our married folks, and we see Paul and Elsie QBearj Blumenfeld matching talents side by side in class, and using the same paint box. Now, isn't that sweet? Almost as nice as the baby boy they had last January. Homer Hansen travels to school on bicycle. It's not only economical but also invigorating exercise. Mr. Willard told him Qduring the snowy seasonj Put away your reindeers, Santa, and come in to class. Mr. Ex had a birthday party for son, aged 3. A peek at the goodies discloses: gin, rum, wine, whisky, and beer. The beer was for the kiddies. When a dashing, handsome, eligible young man such as Norman happens to be in our class, Valentines usually come flying from all corners. This year the gals were mercenary. They all chipped in and bought him one great big one. VVhen we're not busy producing masterpieces, we gather and smother in smoke, spill sugar into mustard and salt into pepper at no other than our beloved Cafeteria. In a momentous outburst of artistic temperament Tom Nowak will take out a pencil and with masterful strokes he will scribble on the back of a check the idea that struck him. One day the cashier found this out and asked him in a serious tone, ':Son, why don't you take up art? This idea en- raptured us and we spent the rest of the year thinking about it. WX gmduatm -IOSEPI-IINE R. ACCOLLA. Dark, svelte, and industrious, Jo puts in long hours in a furniture establish- ment while attending school at night. Her quietness belies her great potential energy. She is very handy at sewing, a good thing in her particular line, as well as saving on the clothing budget. SHIRLEY ADLER. Sherry has a beautiful husband fCooper Union vintagej, a beautiful Village apartment and a beautiful kitten. She met both husband and kitten at Green Camp. One of Advertising Art's best students, she directs the campaigns for a large candy manufacturer during tl1e day. TORE N. ANDERSON. Quiet and mature Tore, a member of Tau Beta Pi, shows good all-around executive ability. He spent three and a half years in the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers as a first lieutenant, in charge of a laboratory of the Applied Electronics branch of The Engineer Board. ALFRED ARENA. Al, a very industrious member of the Evening Mechanical Engineering Course, built up quite a reputation as the Mickey Rooney of the Class. With Al around there was never a dull moment. DANIEL ARJE was the winner of the award for adver- tising in 1947. I-Ie is known for his originality in clothes, especially his keen shirts! Danny's too good to be true, talented, punctual, hard working, and neat. Argo appeared quiet until we got to know both him and his sense of humor, but boy, what a stasis! VIRGINIA F. BARNES. She is just a normal girl, who likes to putter around her family photo album and draw pretty ladies. Virginia is working toward a career in fashion illustration. STANLEY BECKER. Stan, whose tongue is as conspicuous as his cigarette holders, prob- ably considers his trip to Atlantic City the worst disappointment of his stay at Cooper. Oh, the technical speeches were all right, but after all, he had heard so much about Atlantic City. GLORIA BENEDETTI. A big little girl, Gloria's interests, other than painting, are mainly skiing and hosteling. Her classmates will always identify her in her usual garb of an oversized sweat shirt, blue jeans, and gigantic ski socks. She was often found painting from a squatting or sitting position on the floor. DANIEL BERGER. Dan professes a liking for hiking and handball, but seemed to expend all his energy about school trying to convert his classmates to the cause of liberalism. He was very active in the A VC and served on the Veterans Affairs committee. Dan showed all the talents of a used car dealer, in trying to dispose of his family's '37 Plymouth. SAUL BERLINER. Ambitious Shep was the accumulatin'est gent in 3G25 he saved bits of textures, plaids, bugs, feathers and heaven knows .what. I-Ie also collected tired broken down jokes if it but he smiled as he told them, so we forgave and tried to forget. LAURA BER- MAN. Best known by the husband she keeps and who attends school with her. They work together, go to school together, - and we don't blame them for liking each other, because they're both of them very nice people. Laura and Sam are also the parents of a beautiful one ton Studebaker. SAMSON SBERMAN. The best thing about this fellow is his Wife, Laura, the class is all agreed. But any time you see the compacts he designs for his employer, a manufacturer of metal products, be prepared for an exciting experience. FANNY D. BICKART. An airy voice and a hearty laugh are the distinguishing characteristics of Fanny, the other half of the Fanny-Mimi duo. She completely hides her more serious self in a most informal and fascinating personality. VVALTER BIER is known by a variety of names such as foxhead or 03.2 but these titles which Ht his surname appropriately actually cloak his real personality. Wzilter is probably the most studious of the power EE's. If success is determined by study, Walter should go a long way. EDITH BLUM. Pin a medal on her-she did it . . . she caught 11er man, an engineer besides. 1-Ier household experience certainly comes in handy when she polishes the dark room in photography class. Pert and pretty, she broke many a tnan's heart when she dropped from Cooper's eligibles. Her occupation? Blowing bub- bles for Colgate Co. ABRAHAM BLUMBERG. Yanked from the senior class by the Army in 1945, Honest Abe returned last September to see a man about a degree. Much admired for his hustling in the drawing class, Abe is a member of Tau Beta Pi and a former ofhcer of the ASCE. Wlten last seen, he was holding down a job as Qnatchj a draftsman and making eyes at the boss' daughter. SYDNEY S. BLUMER. Sid is ambitious and smart, and most likely to succeed in his goal of being a top- flight architect. He has always worked very hard and applied himself assiduously to his work. NATALIE BOLAND. Nat is one of the commuters from New Jersey, and she is actually willing to defend the place. Among the artists she has the reputation of being a swell kid, and very definitely a budding artist. JONATHAN BORETZ. John has picked up the name of Machine Gun Boretz, and nobody knows quite where. He had the whole graduating class of night Mechanical Engineers a-twitter anticipating his blessed event. MURRAY BORNSTEIN. Graduating with his original class fa feat not accomplished by manyj, Yarrum Qless backward than his namej piled up an impressive record as PIONEER co-editor, ASCE secre- tary, and Tau Beta Pi man. As a flute soloist fhe calls it a recorderj he will probably be a good engineer. The late fnearly alwaysj MSB intends to do graduate work in a warmer climate. THOMAS BOUTIS. Es as Elinas! Assistant assistant manager of the varsity basketball team, Tommy's love for sports almost meets with his appetite for food and women. After a year of Advertising Design, he switched to Decorative Arts, where he held his own with his original ideas and less homework. ROBERT D. BOYENS. Bugs Boyens, otherwise known as Lamont the Shadow, has been marked absent in many classes for his orienta- tion in space. The silent partner of the firm of Durbin and Boyens was the first president of SKT. He is start- ing to fulfill his ambition of being a television engineer by starting his career with I-Iazeltine Electronics Corp. RAPHAEL M. BRACA. This night Chemical Engineer, a member of LSK, was frequently late to class due to the periodic torpedoing of the Staten Island ferry by enemy submarines. However, since the cessation of hostilities, Ralph has had no excuse. He was noted for his expertness in Thermodynamics, because of the meteorology background that he picked up while in the Army. DIANA BRAZIN. This quiet girl with the placid smile has the mildest of temperaments. But as they say, still water runs deep-and who knows? Diana, unlike her namesake of the hunt, is usually armed with a fat book on psychology or the like. l V , XV . . VVILLIAM C. BRODERICK. The lucky girl that married Bill, caught a good student with reddish hair, a responsible position and a reputation for dramatic conferences with one of the faculty. He is one-quarter of the Big Four, and a member olf Tau Beta Pi. EDWIN BRODKIN. Eddie and Kiki became Mr. Eb Mrs. last June and are still looking for a place to rest their weary bones after graduation. Anyone know of a good apartment where Ed can hang his clothes and Kiki her paintings? ELAINE LEIB BRODKIN. Kiki's world revolves about her husband, Eddie, also from Cooper. She's another student from New Jersey who has taken root in New York. JOHN PETER BROKER. John is the only unmarried man in the night CE group but like all the other CE's is a veteran. This sheds some light on the fact that he started in Cooper about a decade ago. John will be remembered for his ribbing of Garrison and Erlemann about losing their hair. Hairless Broker fgjnashed his teeth for two years waiting for a new Nash. I-Ie works as an engineer in the structural steel department of Ryerson Steel Co. PAULA BRUNNER. Czechoslovakian- born, she recently won second prize in a beauty contest. Paula has seen Switzerland, Mexico and California. A lover of skiing, folk dancing and taking long walks, though she spends a good deal ol her spare time in art galleries. ALTA BUTKUS. A native of Bucks County, Pennsylvania who left school before gradua- tion to tie the matrimonial knot. Alta was considered by the Evening Fine Art students to be a wonderful girl in mind, thought and deed. The Night Art graduates are all sorry that she's not here to graduate with all of the students who admired her. LOXNELL CADY. Lowell is interested in two things, sex and jazz. He also studies architecture in his spare time. A traveler who is a long way from his native Arkansas, he is known among the day artists lor the dapper clothes he wears, especially his bright red shirts. MURRAY CASSLER. The lady-killer of the class, he takes a different girl home each night. Murray lives in a settlement house, and is doing excellent silk-screen posters for them, while working on a job and going to school at night. A real ambitious lad, and a real culture vulture, he may be heard warbling arias from opera. However, his true love is folk music. X FRANK T, CETTA. Gad, how he'd love to be a ladies' man! Now he's our hero-he sold a painting. LEON CHAVKIN. Quiet, red-haired Leo made up for his silence by being active in intramural sports, The Pioneer, and fraternal life with LSK. The silent one, as chairman of the committee, was largely responsible for the success of the Senior Prom held at the Hotel Astor. The EE's will especially remember the cries of Speak up, Chavkin' whenever Leo had something to say. ROSALYN CHESTER. One of the more quiet members of her class, Rosalyn hopes to settle down to the domestic life alter leaving Cooper. VVould like to teach creative design. Likes horseback riding, bicycling, and swimming. 'Would for- sake display field for textiles. HAZEL CHILDS. Everyone likes Hazel, for to know her is to love her. Always a friend, Hazel has a willing hand and good word for all, not forgetting her pleasing personality. Lucky Roy! JOHN EDIIVARD CIAMPAGLIA. jack is the mystery mang nobody seems to know very much about him except that he is interested in sports in general and baseball and tennis in particular. I-Ie probably was never in the Infantry because he spends most of his spare time in summer hiking. DALE CLARK. This boy from Idaho read a book on industrial design and came East to go to Cooper Union. He now has his own outfit as well as a pretty little wife and reams of ambitious plans. He puts his heart and soul into l1is work, working himself extremely hard. He and his bride plan to take a long trip after graduation since they have always wanted to travel, possibly around the world. MARGERY CLIFT. A fine artist who has Hnally reached the culmination of her happy days at Cooper Union. Modest Margie is quiet in herself but eloquent in her work. I-IERMA COHEN is a member of the Pioneer staff, Sadie Hawkins Day and Masquerade Ball Committees, Lambda Frau, Artemis Lodge, and The League for the Prevention of Alphonse Normandia. She is a frustrated writer who also believes that her painting show signs of genius. I-Ias a passion for people equipped with quips. JEAN COHEN, Jeannie with the curley brown 'hair is indeed fortunate to have been bestowed with so pleasing a personality. She divided her time equally between third and second year, with her heart mostly in the latter! HAROLD COMERRO. Our ex-flying, industrious architecture student from Jersey proved himself an eloquent orator, as well as a McSorley fan and a talented artist, Nurse Jane is included in Ace's future plans. A friendly person to all, we'll long remember Ace's sincere smile. ILONA P. CONKLING. Having completed four full years at Cooper, Ilona hopes to find her place in the Fine Art Field. If silence were golden, she would be richer than the Rockefellers, but while others chatter, she is getting things done. VVILLIAM CONKLING. A line art student who studies at Cooper evenings. Bill doesn't care much for women, other than Ilona, that is. HOWARD CONSTANTIN. Tall, dark, and unassuming, Howard has intentions ol' establishing his own industrial design ofhce. He knows loads about plastics and machine methods. A veteran of the Navy, he came' back to school last year and has been coming up with some excel- lent and practical ideas. He is married and, from what he says, his wife is giving him a great deal of moral support 011 his latest venture. LEONORA COOPER. Here comes Lee, a-chuggin' in on the Stamford Lim- ited, a charter member of the Time-Table-of-the-Mon th Club, an undauntable Bridge devotee and a friend to all. C.U.'s Connecticut Curley Top has spent many an hour en route to and from school- she and wc say that it was worth it. SILUS HARRY COOPER. No relation to Peter, but you wouldn't know it, he's been around here so long. As Treasurer of Tau Beta Pi he acquired a reputation for taking care of other people's dough. A little hard of hearing-keeps repeating Lend me your good ear. LOUISE CUD- DIHY. To all appearances, Louis is a quiet, serious student, who gets out a steady stream olf good work. However, among her circle of friends, it is her merry wit that keeps the party going. RICHARD CUMMINGS. The Boy Art Director of Paul Rand, Inc. I-Iis brown paintings were cut with surgical precision into nice brown rectangles which developed into smaller brown rectangles. Marsicano and Dick have an understanding. All phases of advertising interest him, fashion, etc., etc., etc. ARTHUR E. DAVVSON is known variously as T he Class Shorty, Curly, or Gabe' Rullo's T win. I-Ie can always be relied upon as a candidate for a short fbut not too shortj beer after classes. He likes music, literature, fishing, and people with a philosophical sense of humor. STANLEY R. DEMBOSKY. A night ME who has ventured through six years of school without even sleeping through a class. A hard worker who knows his entropy, enthalpy, energy, and thermometry. CARMEN DI BLASI. Y0u'd never know that this charm- ing, unassuming girl has the mind of a successful business woman - besides being the mother of a fourteen year old daughter. Her paintings are deeply sincere and words of admiration will cause a gratifying blush. ANNETTE DICK. Look out Frank lvright. Here comes competition in the form fand a pretty good form tooj of Annette, our Brooklyn Architect. Vlfords are indescribable. Magnificent, charming, beautiful, in- telligent, and a glorious sense of humor. FERDINAND P. DIEMER managed to put in thirty hours of work each day. That is the only possible explanation because he has a responsible job, goes to school at night, and still is able to be president of the Night Student Council and the Night Division of the AIEE, Grand Master of PSO, besides belonging to IRE and the Newman Club. In his spare time he assisted in the senior write-ups of the Night Engineers for the Cable. DOLORES D'INZILLO is extremely quiet and sweet. Half of the time you'd never know she was there for all the noise she makes. She gets along easily with one and all. It goes without saying that she is a good artist. EDITH DISTEL. Pretty, blonde, and glamourous Edie plans to continue painting and to marry the handsome young man who almost kept a nightly vigil in the lounge while she attended classes during almost the entire senior term. She would like to work in the textile field and someday plans to visit France. BERNARDINE M. DI YULIO. She's tliekid from Rochester, who's interested in stage sets and wears col- ored wool stockings. Attractive Bernie always seems to have a ready smile and sympathetic ear for the intel- lects. LOIS DODD is a very attractive, Hne artist who didn't enjoy architecture fbut who did?j. Long john-jeaned Dodd from Joisey eats raw carrots and other vitamin saturated foods. She is completely absorbed in her decorative arts with one major exception, and his name is Bill King. FRANCES E. DOYV is so much interested in the graphic arts that she put her time in at night to study. Besides artistic ability, she has the knack of having men around her in droves. Frances has done exceptionally well in her three years at Cooper. Her graduation will be Cooper's loss. BRUNHILDE DRUCKER. If ever a name Htted a person, here is the best example yet. Built along the lilies of the best VVagnerian tradition, buxom Bruni may be often heard la-la-ing along the hall. Sister to a famous violinist, she is no slouch when it comes to fame, having won many prizes at the ILGW U painting school. EDVVARD DURBIN. Ed seems to have a lot of inlluence in the Admissions Olhce. His classes don't end until Eve pee-em in Room 206-F. Charter member of Sigma Kappa Tau and its second president. 'I-Ie was under water for two years as an American Red Cross swimming instructor and came up finally during his senior year. ARTHUR EDEL- STEIN. Artie has a job-hunting complex. About all he can put down is Situation wanted. Engineer with brand new degree seeks suitable position. Salary commensurate? How about startingfor a hill of beans? HENRY EGEN jr. As a hard working Night HIE, he found time to participate in the ASME and FSO Fraternity. A conscientious student, Hank believes inthe formula data before dates. Nonetheless, he was actively interested in parties, dances, and sports. SEYMOUR EIDELMAN. Sid, who changed to day school in third year, has a mature outlook which encompasses more than just three dimensional design. I-le works hard and deserves all the success in the world. Too late girls, he's married! VICTOR ENGLE. Vic was one of the three rings of the circus of the same number ol rings, better known as electronics laboratory squad number one. I-Iashmall and Hillman were the other two members. Vic, who is extremely quiet, was voted to be the most shy man in the senior class. DAVID P. EPSTEIN. Dave was loved by the entire Day Art School, and was known as the darling of the Bronx. Besides being a top- notch advertising student, this member of Cooper Union's Big Three is good natured, always willing to do a favor, and has a swell disposition. His aim in lile is - Hey Rand, sharpen these pencils! GUSTAV G. ERLEMANN. Gus, a married member of the decade club of the night C.E.s' was very proud of his brand new apartment in Stuyvesant Town. Erlemann has a bacl1elor's degree in meteorology from N.Y.U., '43, CHARLES R. ERLER. Chaz, who is equally interested in the Brooklyn Dodgers and good music, has been classihed as the Adonis of the Night Art School. His art work is wonderful, and someday his classmates will think back and say, We knew him when. HENRY FALK. Ever hear a man rave about married life after live years of it? Vlfell, Hank is living proof. Henry, one of the best natured guy's ever encountered, what with being busy with war-work and school, is all for it. And he has a little boy at home for further proof. Practical as they come, with a good sense of design, he is always willing to lend a helping hand to all the struggling classmates around him. SHIRLEY FENROVV. The squirrels and Miss Braverman always race lor her walnut lunch, and the squirrels and Shirley always lose. Sweet and unassuming Shearsilearsy smiles to all comcrs beneath those light brown bangs of hers. CARL M. FISCHER. Take a square layout, a gold pencil, one big letter, and one white page, and Carl Fischer results. If not an art director, he'll write a play .lor Cooper and Broadway, ordebate a debate. Besides being busy with the above mentioned he has maintained an active interest in school affairs. ELLIOTT EISCHER. Elliott is one of those consci- entious people who, though he had to work during the day, attended Cooper Union at night in order to obtain an education and a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I-Iis elforts were divided between his job and his education so that he had time for little else. .A A A LESTER EINK. Lester lirst came to 'Cooper as at dazed freshman two years ago, and he hasn't changed a bit since. Likeable, but gullible, little Lester cavorted about the pages of the PIONEER with the weirdest collection of characters ever captured by pen and ink. I-Ie was ever frustrated, especially when it came to Geeping, a word which he incidentally introduced into the Cooper vocabulary. MARILYN FOX. a grad- uate of Day Art, SBI. JOSE FUMERO. Jose, the most artistic looking of all art students, has been presi- dent ol' the Day Art School for the past two years and the spiciest cook ever to hit Camp Green. It can't be dehnitely stated whether his work suffered, or was improved, by the influx of females into his apart- ment last year, but it did give him an opportunity to at least sound like a boy-type Casanova. PANOS GALIDAS. This man who commanded the respect and admiration of the entire school was President of both his class and the Student Council, and will long be remembered for his unselfish efforts in creating a new school constitution. A huge head, heart of gold, affable personality, and a long bowling stride were Panos' salient points. He was most frequently seen ingesting coffee at Adler's with his buddy l'Vhite. SIDNEY GANELES.

Mel takes his Electrical Engineering seriously. In school he is a member of AI EE and IRE while in his Spare Time he operates his own home radio station IVZJLS. HAROLD L. RUBIN. Before he came to Cooper, Harold studied accounting and at present is working as an engineering accountant in the day and at night mixes a witches brew in the Chem. Lab. GABRIEL N. RULLO. He is a stalwart athlete who has accomplished the phenomenal feat of lifting a 6 oz. weight one foot. Asked for a comment on his school career, he replied that Cooper should give a BST degree for the blood, sweat and tears that are shed for the cause of an education. ELSIE SAKA- LIAN. Ulsie Baby spent three happy years running amok through Cooper. Her colorful humor and gam- boling helped make our lives gay. A member 0E Lambda Tau, their half of the delegation from Yonkers, worked energetically on the Pioneer Circulation. and Exchange editor. ISRAEL SCI-IIFFMAN. Irv never seemed satished, but always seemed to be enjoying himself. The mustache that he sports is for the purpose of added maturity. A perfectionist, he is conscientious in his work and should some day be successful in advertising. CHARLOTTE SCI-INAPP. Cooper's representative to the Brst National Student Association convention, Charlotte is the gal from Brighton Beach who believes the world is slightly susceptible to im- provement and does whatever she can to advance the progressive cause. On the side, she studies Fine Art, works lor the Pioneer, is a Lambda Tau member, and is engaged to K-square. RI-IEITA SCI-IREINER is the sweet part of a Yonker's trio that tried to take Cooper by storm. She was one of the Cableir prized and pampered possessions in her fu'st two years and, also, Business Manager of the organization . In her last year, she gave the yearbook up, in order to devote herself to architecture and her recently acquired husband and apartment. EDXNARD SCI-IULTHEISS. Eddie, as any aspiring advertising man should be, is a bundle of ideas and am- bitions. At present, some of his energy is directed to juggling in which field he is fast providing menacing competition to the professionals. He can best be iden tilied by the camera forever slung over his shoulder. JOI-IN T. SELLDORFF. Tom's skill with a Stillson wrench is exceeded only by his skill with women and his collection of telephone numbers is a continual source of amazement. Known as the Mamaroncck Flash, his yachting ability led him to found the Yacht Club. The reports from squad 3 testify to his drawing abilityg his impromptu cartoons have stimulated many back row discussions. HARRIS SI-IAPIRO. Harris was voted most likely to succeed in production. President of the AIEE, manager of the class soft ball team, and of the class basketball team, he is the happy go lucky type that would make out well as a political boss. Known for his repertory of corny gags, which never seems to run dry, he is a member of the clique of Hausman, Klein, Wleiss, and Shapiro, which will make the name of Cooper Union famous for more likely, infamousj. JULIUS SHAPIRO. Julie, who has chosen the alias of Julius S. Shapiro Jones, is another of the industrious night M .E.'s. Though he had little time to spare, he managed to find time to join the ASME. His motto is Save a BTU. He slaves away daily for dear old Sarco. HAROLD YV. SHOLL. Harry is a refugee from Rochester, N. Y. Aside from his artistic endeavors, he has also mastered the piano without the beneht of lessons. One of Cooper's most eligible bachelors, plus being a most conscientious student, he will probably go far in the outside world .... LEONARD SHELDON .... ARLENE SHORE. Our long glamour puss is just crazy about textiles, and tremendous men. Her black mesh stock- ings and her pantaloons intrigued us all for the past three years as well as her buns and dangling earrings. PETER SICHEL. Peter is above all else a'conscientious student, his last words, as the school-lights are going out: Boys, we must get this data down. As extra-curricular activities, Peter lists his wife and child, the ASME, and Tau Beta Pi, in the latter of which he held the ollice of president. HYVMAN SIEGAL. Hy started going to Cooper Union in 1939, but a session in the Army interrupted that. He is employed as a model-maker in one of the better-known display firms and loves his job.. Although he has been chasing Cooper Union girls merrily for four and a half years, he has often expressed his oppo- sition to marriage in no uncertain terms. Now, we hear, he is going steady. Mazeltuv! HAROLD Y. SIL- VERMAN. A night advertising student, I-Iarry has long looked forward to the time when he could stop calling himself a schoolboy, and devote more time to the many things that interested him. After heaving his sigh of relief, he will look back upon his Cooper days as happy ones: at the things he learned and the friends he made. VINCENT A. SILVESTRI. Vin is a serious, talented student well liked by all and a swell guy whose company is enjoyable. His main accomplishments at Cooper included his discovery of McSorley's famous old ale and entering into the realm of marital bliss. JULIUS SIMKINS. Dark, quiet and good- looking Julie was Art Editor and Literary Editor of the Cable, a member of the student council and chair- man of the splash committee. A fine artist with a flair for money. The day art school and the Gable staff wish him good luck in his new display studio. ARLINE SIMON. Fatso's ready smile, not to forget her Where's Elsie button will be remembered by all who know her. Arl contributed a lot to Cooper, outside of being our Anything for a gag girl, by working for the Cable and also on the Pioneer circulation and art staffs. With all this it seems she earned a gold C. MORRIS SIMPSON. Mo, from out Brooklyn way, has three interests -architecture, women and more women -particularly those with loads of sex. Incident- ally, he had the reputation of being a terrific dancer, so gals beware. Despite this build-up, the Flatbush Casanova was never-the-less one of the more popular day artists, and is bound upward on the ladder of a successful architectural career. WALTER SINELNICK. His quiet unassuming manner earned him the slogan He seeks but to learn. The members of the ASNIE however, are glad he found time to run its program committee- and its movie-projector. IRVIN SINGER. Another C.E. suffering the effects of the love of a good woman, Irv managed to squeeze a schedule of day and night classes into one hectic semester to graduate with his original class. By the time this printers ink is dry, Irv should have settled down to a frantic married life. , ROBERT SLATER. Bob is going places in the greeting card line. His marriage is a Cooper Union one and he and Heidi, his wife, are grooming their fourteen month old son for a Cooper education. Look what it did for them! EDWARD W. SLEDJESKI. Ed was a former member of the day school, who after deciding he had too much time on his hands, went out and got a job and attends school at night. Alter graduation he intends to rob Cooper of one of its secretaries, the one who works in the Physics Department. VVhile in school, Ed was a member of the Newman Club and AICHE, holding the ollice of treasurer in the latter. GEORGE T. SMITH. George, the fourth member of the decade club of night engineers, is the only father in the group, having a one year old son, George Jr. He is a member ol PSO and is doing well in the contract- ing business. IRVING STERN. Irv carried his Good Conduct Medal with him through thick and thin and twice daily on the Bronx Express. Between train rides, he managed to squeeze in menibership in ASME and AMS. Among men who know Irving best, it is agreed that the Army is the only place he deserves the medal. MURIEL STERN. Mimi is one of two, but which one? The only thing that saves her instruc- tors frorn seeing double all night long is the lact that the two are in different classes. The one that you see in the advertising class is Mimi. She has a pleasing smile and personality to match. I-Ier favorite pastime is working in tl1e darkroom with darkroom specialists. RITA STERN. Ricki is the other hall of the Stern gang, the one who was taking decorative arts. Like her sister, she has long been blamed for tl1e deeds and misdeeds of her sister. Ricki is also possessed of an engaging smile and sweet disposition, and is joy where- ever she goes. ROBERT STOLLER. A serious minded fellow with a great deal of talent, employed as a lay- out man in a fashion advertising agency, Bob is a thinker with a great many convictions, and his serious- ness and honesty are noticeable in all of his work. Bob is married and like most of us today, is apartment hunting whenever he can stoppainting. RICHARD STRAUSS. Dicky is a member of the big four who chased electrons all night long. A conscientious worker as long as it isn't on his own time, he never lfailed to catch the 9:55 special to Grand Central every evening. He won the Physics prize in 1944 and is a member of Tau Beta Pi, AIEE, and the IRE. s -4 MAURICE SULLAM, Manhattan's contribution to Cooper Union, can put after his name, Cooper Union, 1941-481' Oh! we forgot to add there was a three year extended tour of Europe with the U. S. Army. To prove what a glutton lor punishment he is, and not content with the hardening of the arteries engendered by four years at Cooper, he broke down in February and took himself a wife. Moe is going to take his design talents to Oklahoma and there develop them at the University of Oklahoma. WILLIAM A. SUM- MERS. Bill came back from the Navy endowed with a bride who types up his reports and does the odd jobs. As an ace electrical engineer among the chemicals, his battles with the Maxwellian demon have become legendary. ERIC EDEN SUMNER. Despite the gasps and groans over the complexity and effort put into reports by his classmates, Eric always seems to turn up with a better job. That is, when he shows up at all. JOSEPH JAMES SVVATKO has a hard time Htting his Electrical Engineering Courses into his curriculum. He is a member of the Student Council, AIEE, IRE, and the Newman Club besides having held the positions of Treasurer and Recorder in P.S.O. In addition to all this, he managed to find time for his hobbies which were going to parties, dances, and vacationing at Camp Green. MARY TALLOS is a girl you don't forget easily. We don't have to mention her smiling countenance, pleasant personality, and wondering eyes fbut we willj . Mix these with a talented young lady and you have a popular student and a potentially successful artist. STANLEY TANNENBAUM. If on the street someone meets you with a loud Hello Dahlinnng! and waves a red handkerchief under your nose, it's only Stunted Krudenbauinj' our red-sweatered, 'beret wearing Bohemian from Brooklyn. Come on Tannenbaum, Give us a gooey kissl SACI-IIKO TASAKA is endowed with special talents for turning out unusual and elegant pieces of Orient- Elavored design. Sachi, too, has a wry sense of humor, spoken in an especially angelic voice, that catches you unawares, and leaves you laughing. MARVIN L. THOMAS. Colonel Lee from Virginia is the line artist who paints in sections. I-Ie intends to go to France this summer. Tell us, Tommy, is that red nose from Cadmium or Schenley's R? I VVILLIAM C. THOMPSON. While in the Navy he developed a love for life and is now just waiting for his release from scholastic servitude to start living. He did manage to lind some enjoyment while in school, being an expert on the subject of An Expose of Sixth Floor Art Courses as Observed from the Seventh Floor. EDVVINIA TILLINGHAST. Tall stories are Eddie's specialties. They're always based on fact, but even she admits that she likes to elaborate. Sweet and quiet, Eddie studies line arts and likes the horses. LOUIS JAMES TRAKIS. Varsity Basketball Team Member, Lou is popular for his bold humor, which' was exhibited nightly to classmates, and yearly to the school in Class Night Shows. Lou claims that he beats freshmen, sells elevator passes, and sells Cooper basketball players to Pratt. Rarely seen without Alphonse Normandia, or a shrunken skull, Lou helped put G3 Cooper Square on the map fstudio of which he is part ownerj. HARRY TURKO's education was interrupted by a two year sojourn in the army where he served in an Ack-Ack outfit. He is married to a former XfVave and has a two year old son, whom he lists as his extra-curricula activity. FRANCIS XMAEHLER, through his natural elforts, is a fellow that will go far in his chosen Held of Architectural Design and Construction. HENRY XIVALD. High on Henry's list of abilities fwhich includes winning at ping-pong and losing at gin rummyj seems to be an uncanny knack of guessing his test marks. He wins more money that way. HAROLD XVALLERSTEIN. Harry, quite an earnest student, has many diversified interests, mostly out of school. He wants to enjoy all the good things in lile, and he has a gnawing ambition to read and learn moreg but when will he get time to paint? CARL VVEININGER is the man who wishes he was living in 800 A.D. fwhat people don't wish to avoid paying income taxilj, but then how would he get to Cooper from his Connecticut residence? Friendly and reserved. Carl is well thought ol' and liked by his many friends and acquaintances. MILTON VVEISS. Milt will be remembered for his patience as well as for his concisely methodical work. He always came through with the always expected good result. Milt intends to further his industrial de- signing at another college. Besides all this, he is an ace photographer. MITCHELL VVEISS is the authentic brain of the electrical engineering class. Recipient of the vaunted Schweinburg, the calculus medal, and the treasurer of Tau Beta Pi, he has garnered the highest cumulative in the graduating class. YVALTER 'WELKOYN'ITZ. lfValt, a genial sort of genius, was secretary of Tau Beta Pi. Another bridge Bend, he hopes that there is always a fourth to be found in Ohio, where he is going to continue his studies. The general opinion of the class is that he will be the first research engineer from the class. ALBERT C. VVERTI-IEIM. Al came to Cooper every day from Newark. His love of sports has stood him in good stead in his chosen profession, he knows more about horsepower than anyone else in the class. GEORGE WEX- LER. George is one student who has the soul of a. true artist and lives for art! While at Cooper he joined the ranks of the married men. George's art education was interrupted for a time when he served in the forces of Uncle Sam, as did so many of the graduating class. ROBERT VVHITE. Bob has justifiably prided himself in being the Big Man On the Campus of his class. Elmer, extremely capable and an excellent conversationalist, actively engaged in most major student activities. Old Bob proved extremely effective as Co-editor of the Pioneer. VVe will miss Bob with his 1935 styling of the Lindy Hop, Charleston and Susie- Q, and his conhdential and contagious smile. Massa Bob spent a good deal of his class time writing edi- torials, and conferring with his confederates Galidas, Menes, and Pfeffer. WINIFRED YVILSON. Mfinnie COITICS from Michigan, and switched to Cooper from Michigan State. Lately she has learned to knit argyle socks fand very well tooj . Tall and sophisticated, YVinnie never arrived before 10:00, when she very subtly sneaked in. EDITH' WINTER. Tall Edith is the all around gal in the class. If you hear a philosophical discussion a-raging, you can be sure Edith's in the middle of it all. She has a terrific sense of humor and everyone likes her. She is generally behind a stack of books, whistling some obscure melody or Gregorian Chant, or some such foolishness. STANLEY VVOJIS. Stan studied Chemical Engineering, but he may have missed his calling for he enjoys tinkering with his car and is Mr, Fixit in his home. In his spare time his main fields of interest are danc- ing, swimming and traveling, though he is getting tired of traveling on the Staten Island ferry with sea- man Braca. MARILYN WOLF. Mickie never succumbed to New Jerseys charms and so she spent her days at Cooper trudging back and forth with her trusty little suitcase. A member of the Dramatic Club, she did a Hue job as Daisy Devore in The Adding Machine. A devotee of voice, many a song was waited over the walls from Miss Braverman's fashion class by the singing Wolf. GLORIA VVOLFF. One of the few who like just about everything, especially man and political science, she is our Queen of Pur- ity and Goodness. Alter she graduates from Cooper, she would like to do political cartoons and book il- lustrations. Gloria's loveliness plus her painting added color to the class. IRWIN VVOOLF. For some unknown reason Irwin keeps insisting he is no wolE. He is very concerned now that he is graduating, that he will have nothing to keep him busy on the long cold winter nights. He would also like to know just what he can do with his degree when he gets it. FRANCES WYNSHAVV. A competent advertising student, Fran, was perpetually late to class, though she always did manage to arrive at some time or other. This till'- diness was attributed to her being tied up in the knots of matrimonial bliss. JOHN G. YAGO. John classi' Hes himself as the super financier and South American diplomatu of his class. He also has many illusions as to his prowess with members of the opposing sex. His claims are as yet unsubstantiated, being still an eligible bachelor. South America, take him away. ROSALIND YAGODA. One of the most attractive young ladies in the senior class, who as Mrs. Stern is now out of circulation, Roz is always gay, smiling and cheer- fulg one doesn't have to guess that she enjoys life. It is evident in her work, that liquid flowing line, those brilliant little color spots. JACK YOGMAN. Jack shows that a degree does not mean everything. While attending Cooper to get his ChE degree, jack was in the meantime working in industrial engineering and had many graduate engineers working under him. He waslalso a member of the night division of the AIClzE. I LEON ZADOFF. Lee is one of the three married men in the class, and sports Z1 cute two year old daughter. A veritable demon with homework, the odds were with him when the rest of the class couldn't Iigure out a units operation problem. His nonchalance in the Chemical Engineering laboratory was amazing, with the exception of the times when he was foreman. STEPHEN C. ZAMBITO. Steve is a serious lover of the arts, with music as his second interest, who has been attending Cooper diligently for a long, long time, Ere- quently both the day and night seohols. I-Ie is a nice person to know and have as a friend. MOLLA ZEL- LERMAY ER. I like them love stories, so sweet and simple and . . . and . . . wholesome. That's Zero Zellermayer talking, the fair haired girl of The Adding Machine. Mollafs wit and humor has kept the class grinning for nigh onto three years. MOLLY ZIIVIMERMAN. Tripping on the light fantastic toe enters Molly, prima ballerina behind the footlights. Molly has been general aide d'camp of every pro- duction at CU for three years. A good earnest worker, she possesses the nicest little hats. ANTHONY ZULES, JR. Versatile Tony, the Adonis of the class, is loved by all. Highly talented, and industrious, this member of the Three Musketeers is an added joy to any gathering because of his sparkling humor and wit. The original Wh' hoppenedu boy, he instigated the laughter which kept the entire class in high-sterics. Camera Sli Lawrence A. Bernstein, Betty Boltuch, George Borkin, Reichert YV.

In the first few years of its existence the camp was mainly used for orientation and surveying sessions. As such, it was of principle interest to the engineering students. As facilities were expanded, the general use of the camp for student initiated groups from the art and engineering schools increased steadily. This change was brought about under the guidance antl administration of Professor -I. Merriam Peterson, who was appointed as professor-inscharge in 1943. The present system of mixed weekend camp trips was made possible by the opening of Erskine lodge for weekend groups and a food buying system whereby Mr. West purchases the food for the camp trips. The food buying saves the camp leaders innumerable headaches and encourages students to form camp groups. The large groups have caused several changes to be made recently. The station wagon, whose capacity was 18, Qand at times carried over twenty in a happy tangle of arms, legs, bodies, and baggagej and was sometimes affectionately called the geep wagon, has been replaced by a nice, large modern bus for carrying the campers from the railroad station to the camp. The large red leather couch that could always have an extra person squeezed on no longer faces the fireplace in the lounge. A smaller more sedate couch has replaced it. Modern furniture and several bridge tables have been added. But still, there are the antlered deer heads fwhich always bring forth the old saying like a moose needs a hatrackuj, the balcony library, and best of all, the cavernous fireplace that has warmed more Cooperites than can be counted. Evenings are spent dancing or relaxing or playing charades before the fireplace. However. there is a curfew time at midnight now, and, at that time Qwell, maybe a little laterj the boys and girls-must sojourn to their respective habitats. In warm weather the days are spent playing baseball, football and other outdoor sports. The excess of snow this winter made all lovers of winter sports at Cooper happy when they went to camp but it had its adverse effect. Low temperatures and low oil supplies caused the uniform of the night to be long woolies under pajamas, four or more blankets Qdepending upon whether the person sleeping next to you were weaker ' , 9 ff -x ii' Ami Q lil Q flak?

' ka ' W I than you werej, and a woolen cap pulled down so that only your nose was showing. At one point the oil level was A so low that camp trips had to be canceled. but the campers QE. bounced right back as soon as the weather permitted. fi X However, the camp has its more serious uses too. Orientation camp is usually held for the engineering fresh- men immediately preceding their hrst semester at Cooper Union. It serves as a period for the class members to get acquainted with each other, the faculty and instructors, and the facilities the camp has to offer. The few days of mental relaxation and physical exertion have an excellent Peterson calming effect for young people starting in on Il new phase of their educational life. Upon completion of their first year of school the entire class returns to Green Camp for a period of approximately two weeks for a surveying practise course. They learn the use of surveying instruments and are taught topographic mapping. The civil engineering students return in the following years for more advanced courses in surveying. The art school also sponsors a summer landscape painting course for art students who can qualify. The selection is based on the students' scholastic standing, work habits, and deportment. The course is usually given in the period just after the art school recess starts and before the engineering surveying camp is held. Outdoor exhibitions have been held at the termination of the course. Residents of the community hav been invited to these exhibitions. This has been an aid in creating community interest in the camp and in making for cordial relations between The Cooper Union and the community. The most recent major work done on the camp facilities has been the rehabilitation of Erskine lodge, thanks to the seemingly unlimited generosity of Mr. Norvin Hewitt Green. No longer is it a dreary looking farm house. An exterior and interior paint job and redecoration have given it a much needed face lifting. The small dorm and indi- vidual rooms increase its sleeping capacity to eighteen. There are two sitting rooms and a lounge. The lounge, with its comfortable furnishings, radio, and fireplace, make it strong rival of the main lounge. Another recent addition to the camp is a Bring range built by the rifle club. In addition to using thc range for liring during the year for themselves, the club encourages freshmen at orientation camp to fire and in that way gains many new recruits for the club and future members of the varsity rifle team. The camp has not reached its peak by any means, and there are several committees studying and working on proposals for further additions to the camp. Of interest to all students are tentative plans for a swimming pool. The Young committee has been con- ducting a survey for a proposed eight week program for all day engineering students at the end of their first yearls work. For this program a machine shop, class rooms, and additional living space would be needed. Thus, it can be seen that Camp Green will continue to play a more and more important role in the scholastic and social life of the Cooper student. LIBR RY I B61 nmghausen In a letter from Peter Cooper, accompanying the Deed of Trust, there is a paragraph about the Library: In order most effectively to aid and encourage the efforts of youth . . . I have provided for a reading room and literary exchange . . . the walls of which are to be arranged for the reception of books . . . and other objects of interest. 'With these instructions in mind, the Trustees made plans for the first free reading room and public library in the city of New York. The Library's original function as a free reading room especially for the use and instruction of the general public continues today. Many visitors increase their knowledge of the forum lecture subjects by visiting the Forum Book Shelf. The library receives about 1,300 periodicals and United States Government pub- lications, and is the only library in New York where out of town daily news- papers may be consulted. Also, it maintains one of the finest collections in the city of current and back number periodicals, a valuable aid to researchers and students, since most of these 700 magazines and newspapers are not easily avail- able elsewhere. The library is divided into four sections: the Main Reading Roomg tl1e Engineering Libraryg the Art Libraryg and the Museum Library, comprising a total of over 125,000 volumes. All of the divisions of the library have expanded rapidly and have been completely reorganized recently under the direction of Professor David Berninghausen and the literary staff. With the recent construc- tion of new bookshelves, the Engineering Library occupies nearly half of the main reading room. The Art School Library was moved into new modern quar- ters last summer. On the seventh floor there can be found a large book and periodical collection in the field of art, One of the most overworked phrases in higher education is that the library is the heart of the college. Through its library service the Cooper Union lives up fully to this statement and through the' library, Peter Cooper's aim of con- tributing to the education of the public is most fully realized. MU Hathaway When Peter Cooper envisioned his great institution for education and recreation he reserved space for a museum for the exhibition of mechanical devices and for a cosmorama where the visitor would Hnd scenes of foreign lands. The only public place of artistic showing in New York at that time was the annual mechanical exhibition at the American Institute at Third Avenue and 63rd Street. However, the Cooper project was laid aside when the funds were found to be insufficient. Yet the plan never died and it was due to the initiative of the Versatile Hewitt sisters that the present museum was founded. The Hewitt sisters, Sarah and Eleanor, accomplished musicians and business women, had from early childhood developed an intense interest in the arts of decoration. When only sixteen, they purchased half of the famous Jervis Collection of Textiles. It now forms a valuable addition to the Museum's Collection. It was after a Paris visit to the Musee des Arts Decoratif that the Hewitt sisters resolved what type of museum they would try to institute in The Cooper Union. Like its prototype, the Musee, it would serve mainly manufacturers and designers who would look for new ideas, and like the Musee, it would have a large research library and desks where copyists could work. After acquiring room from the Trustees in 1895 the sisters started the Museum on its way. The Directors of the Musee at Paris personally selected a complete series of decora- tive casts of the best French periods. Many wealthy dealers and manufacturers came forward with unsolicited help. Mr. Pierpont Morgan, while in Europe purchased the Badia Collection of Barcelona, the Vives Collection of Madrid, and the Stanislas Baron Collection of Paris, The Cooper Union Museum, by acquiring these textiles jumped to the rank of the world-renowned South Ken- sington Museum in England. This year, the Museum begins the Fiftieth year since its official beginning. But it intends to wait one year and have a joint celebration with the 90th anniversary of the Cooper Union. Today, the friends of the Museum, who sub- scribe to membership upon the payment of duesgandlvarious private individuals, companies, schools, and also labor unions, continue to donate Works of art and design to this truly fine segment of The Cooper Union. Mattingly 53434 FOR I Since the founding of the Cooper Union in 1859, the Great Hall has played a prominent part in the intellectual advancement of the people of New York. Many distinguished scholars, scientists, artists, and statesmen have spoken in the great auditorium. Eighty years ago, the series of evening forums was in- augurated and for forty years the forums were conducted under the auspices of The Cooper Union and the People's Institute. However, since 1937, the Social Philosophy Division of the Cooper Union has assumed sole responsibility for the Forum. For the past two years, the guiding hand behind the Forums has been Dr. Garrett Mattingly, Head of the Social Philosophy Division. Widely known as an author and historian, he has arranged a program of lectures that cover Helds of knowledge which are currently of vital importance. This year's Forums were divided into three series of lectures. The first series, The New World of Physics, was presented on Tuesday evenings. This series was auspiciously begun by Dr. James B. Conant, President of Harvard University who spoke On Understanding Science. At subsequent weekly meet- ings, research in the expanding sciences of Astronomy, Aviation, and Seismology was discussed by specialists in the fields. Several meetings in the series were de- voted to atomic energy research and its important role in the future. The sunday night series entitled Swords Into Ploughsharesn was concerned with the social and political crises of the post-war world. Competent analysts reported their fresh observations and estimated the degree of progress toward a peaceful world in the various theaters of economic, political, and social tension. The series of lectures given on Friday evenings dealt with popular unfounded phobias and superstitious. Well known explorers, psychologists, magicians, writ- ers, and historians spoke on unreasonable prejudices and superstitious that are sometimes amusing and sometimes constitute serious obstacles in the way of progress. Following thc lecture, it was customary to have a period for questions and free discussion. This was, of course, in line with the tradition of broad-minded intellectual inquiry of The Cooper Union Forum that has made it an agency for public enlightenment for eighty years.

C Hollinger H Silhn II Greenberg The Athletic Association has successfully completed its second big year at Cooper. During the year it sponsored four regular var- sity teams, initiated two new clubs, and conducted six intramural tournaments. The hardworking ofhcers of the A. A. during the school year were President Howard Silhn, Vice-President Danny Gross, Secretary Tom Matcovich, and Treasurer Don Pearlman. The season started with the Fall Yacht Regattas. As winter came, the Rifle and Basketball teams started competition. A small fencing squad also took to the held with a measure of success. To encourage more students to enter intercollegiate competition, a Table Tennis Club, and a Track Club were initiated. It wasn't long before the Table Tennis Club Helded a team that played in the Metropolitan Intercollegiate League. To accommodate the vast majority of students who could not enter varsity, a large intramural prograln was conducted. Volley- ball, basketball, and handball games were played at the Church of All Nations, bowling at Bowl-Mor Alleys, paddle tennis in Cooper Square, and softball at various Park Department helcls. A fitting conclusion to the last school year was the annual All-Sports Dinner. At this dinner the various athletic awards for the year were presented, and othcers of the A. A. were installed for the ensuing school year. This stag affair was one of the out- standing social events of the school season. For next year, the A. A. is attempting something new in the school. Since most social events are planned for the conclusion of the school year, the Association is planning an event to be held at the beginning of the school' year in September. The occasion will be a Field Day, Picnic, and Dance at Green Engineering Canip. Transportation will be by chartered bus. SfIl77dIHfT Coach lobey Scrllzd, L to R: A. Kaplan, D. Keates, G. Veder, F.

For the hrst year since 1942, a Cooper Union varsity basketball team saw action and despite their inexperience, the hoopmen managed to rack up an astonishing 8 won-6 lost record. An appreciable amount of the credit for the team's success is due to the team's coach, Dave Tobey. Not exactly new to Cooper Union Qhaving coached powerhouse Cooper teams back in the '20sj Coach Tobey molded the green fifteen-man Cooper squad into a smooth working hoop combine that rattled many of their higher rated opponents. After selecting the squad from the fifty applicants back in October, Coach Tobey put the boys through an intensive three nights a week schedule at Stuyve- sant High School. By scrimmaging among themselves or with outside teams, the Coopermen quickly learned their basketball fundamentals. The early workouts were no coach's dreams. Luckily no injuries marred the pre-season practice sec- tions despite Louie the wreclcef' Trakis' innocent efforts. Meanwhile George Veder's southpaw backboard rattling heaves and Stu Furman's rhumba style of dribbling slowly succumbed to Coach Tobey's skill. After their debut win against the Alumni, the team showed surprisingly no sign of tenseness or nervousness in their games. Undoubtedly, the most memora- ble game of the season was the near upset of the highly favored Pratt quintet. Witli the opening Hve of Nazarewicz, Horn, Marin, O'Driscoll and Keates, the maroon and gold matched point for point the scoring of the galloping Pratt hoopmen and emerged with a twenty-seven to twenty-six halftime lead. Eight quick points by Pratt opened the second half and put Cooper behind 43-27. But the resourceful Coopermen slowly hacked away at the lead and cut it to two points. Tragedy in the form of Hve personals to Marin and Keates enabled the speedy Pratt five to sew it up in the Hnal minutes to win 59-49. In the locker room after the contest, Coach Tobey remarked that it was undoubtedly the best game of the season. There's really nothing I can tell you fellows-you fought hard and played well! Ka lzet6all Another contest that had the spectators wild to the end was tl1e N. Y. Aggie game. Leading 48-46 with 50 seconds left to play, the Coopermen saw the game tied and then lost as the winning Aggie basket swished the nets with two seconds remaining in the game. The amazing Freshmen record of the team was scored despite threats of scholastic ineligibility, mile-long courts which the team was not conditioned for, and the ever present Cooper homework. Even a marriage intervened to deprive the team of Bill Hoest's services in the Queens game QCongratulations, Billy. Aiding in the morale department, however, were the post home-game jam- borees at Louie's joint that drowned all miseries in beer, women and George Veder's melodic crooning. High scoring captain YValt Nazarewicz, with 181 points, big Gil Marin with 168, Fred O'Driscoll with 106 points and Dick Keates, the player of the year, with 93 all return next season. YVith the loss of only Lou Trakis, the prospects for the seasoned Cooper basketeers look encourag ng lor next season.

Nevertheless, the Cooper Union Yacht Club, founded in 194-5 by a few enterprising sailing enthusiasts has prospered and grown in the fertile environ- ment of Cooper Union until now it owns two racing dinghies as well as one of the best competitive records of any varsity sport in Cooper. Oflicially recognized by the school in December of 19115, the C.U.Y.C. was accepted as an associate member into the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Associa- tion in February 19116. I-Iorn and Margulies were sent to City Island for the Middle Atlantic Associate Member Championship and our two skippers wrested the silver trophy from Drexel and Lehigh. The Yacht Club was on its way. During the next six months the C.U.Y.C. was the talk of the college. Under the able leadership of Ted Snyder, it spon- sored an exhibition in the Student Lounge and a splash party. Largely through the efforts of Professor C. H. Young the yacht club went nearly unscathed in the schoolwide reduction of financial support by the Ath- letic Association. The Alumni Association raised 351,000 for the construction and maintenance of three racing dinghies and for their upkeep for three years. A quarter scale model was first built correct in every detail. This was exhibited widely throughout the school and contributed to' the popularity of the club and its association with the get up and go spirit. Now the first full sized boat has come off the molds and hit the water in April. The club has had rough sailing at times but the Cooper yachting enthu- siasts have found the keen sportsmanship and the pleasant fellowship of the members a tonic for the somewhat drab life on Cooper Square. Those smiling faces that you have been seeing around the school this past year have probably belonged to members of the rifie team. These boys can well afford to be happy and gay for the team has a professional worrier, their man- ager, Herb Weidner. Under his expert guidance, the rifle club has grown to 26 spirited and fully paid members. Every Friday night the boys a11d girls get together at the range at Brooklyn Tech H. S, and ire away for all that they are worth. After the ten P. M. cease Hre order the gang usually retires to their restaging area located in a corner of Byrne's Bar. It is at these sessions that Captain Herb Cohen has distinguished himself for his uncanny ability to locate pretzels and potato chips. Medals for valor should also be passed around to ex-manager Howie Siliin, assistant manager Carl Apsley, Bob Kalin, President Logan Ingram and Tom Sherrier. In this, its second year of operation, the rifle team has travelled far and wide to challenge the long established rifle and R.O.T.C. teams of C.C.N.Y., N.Y.U., Brooklyn Poly, St. John's, Columbia and Fordham. New additions to the team who have shown promise in these tours are Bob Ronchetti, Ed Schmidt, George Vlfrage, Don Reiser, Frank Reynolds, Archie Boscia, and Bob Infantino. ln addition to their shooting activities in school, the Rifle Club also con- structed a log cabin at Green Engineering Camp. Inspired by their popular fac- ulty advisor, Professor I-Ienry Chainsaw Hope, the team members expect to hold their cabin-warming party next fall. The cabin will be used to accommodate the team members on their weekend practice sessions at the Camp Range that the Club built a year ago. l1,1Zj S ' ' ,n-1. . gg 41- :fs gif e Top Jaw, L to R: R.

Xpsley F Reynolds Yencing Table Tenni The Fencing Club resumed activities last year and now has formed a Varsity Team entered in intercollegi- ate competition. Six men comprise the present squad but the goal for next year is a complete team with three men in each weapon-foil, epee, and sabre. Mfarren Bohl, star performer and team captain, shows proficiency in all three weapons, while Marty Olanoff and Jack Malek specialize in foil and epee. Frank Magro is most promising in sabre, which is also fenced by Peter Hof- mann and by Bill VVirfel, who manages the team. Expert instruction is given all members of the club by Mr. Harry Lucia Qwho also coaches the teamj. Both the coach and his brother, Mr. Edward Lucia, who tutored the club earlier, are graduate fencing masters from the school of Giorgio Santelli, U. Olympics Fencing Coach. lf' the zeal of the club members is supported by student attendance at matches and by increased partici- pation at practice sessions, fencing will again become as popular at Cooper as it has been in the PZISI. Despite the lack of adequate practice facilities and a microscopic knowledge of the team on the part of the general student body, a handful of table tennis enthusi- asts banded together in the Fall of 1947 and assumed the title of The Cooper Union Table Tennis Team. Of the four stalwarts who began this crusade to make Cooper known and feared among intercollegiate ping-pongclom, only two remained at the end of the fall term. In order for the team to continue to function, new talent had to be uncovered. The main prop and number one man of the team was Dave Charney, QDA, an unfrocked engineer, who saw the light and was converted.to the art school. Cliarney, an experienced performer, has competed in United States Table Tennis Association tournaments, and ranks high among the list of intercollegiate players. Morty Rollnik, IDA, was developed on the home grounds, and shows promise of becoming a stiff com- petitor. He did not have any previous varsity experience, but did not allow this fact to frighten him under any tables. YVith the coming of intercollegiate basketball to the hallowed halls of dear old Cooper Union, there was felt a need for some pulchritudinous females, in the capa- city of cheer leaders, to stir Cooper's stalwart spirit on to victory. 4 Ah yes-the spirit was weak, but the flesh was willing! Then along came Cooper Union's answer to Jane Russell and Hedy Lamarr, three little girls in gold skirts and emblemed maroon skirts-Mfinnie Fitch, Frankie F avuzza, and Shirley -Iahr. Immediately a spark devel- oped-onward and upward galloped our men spurred on by such soul-stirring cries as Noble Maroon and Gold, rah!l and Yeah, Cooper! These charming young ladies periodically raise the roof of the school practicing for each week-end's game. Of course this en- tails shouting, yelling, screaming and jumping up and down. Can't you picture this scene-delicate, flower-like young things losing their feminine charms Qsort ofj? But do they complain? No! Indomitable, unquench- able, they force C. Ugfs basketball team on to feats of greater and greater glory! ' A Aquatics at Cooper Union include a wide range of activities varying from serious instruction in life-saving to. just plain fun. All classes and student activities are run by the students and Prof. Hollinger. Life-saving is taught by Arnold Tepfer, advanced swimmers receive instruction from George Sicular, and Prof. Hollinger handles beginner groups. The activity of the aquatic division that gathers the greatest following is the semi-annual splash party. This is the only time that the male and female students can splash water on each other without being expelled. Stunt races are indulged in and the art schoolmen Hght the engineers for laurels in the various speed races. After the swim, the evening is completed with dancing to the tune of big name bands-on records furnished by the dance club, V In addition to the regularly scheduled aquatic events, the pool is available to any student desiring a swim. The ease with which the pool's facilities are reached, the informality of the gatherings, and the relaxa- tion obtained from swimming make aquatics popular among Cooperites.

During the school year, hundreds of students have found many hours of relief from the grind of school rou- tine by competing in intramural tournaments. For the Hrst time at Cooper, the Athletic Association planned to give awards to the winning teams and to those individuals who excelled in their particular intramural sport. Holding part of the sports interest last Spring, while the softball tournament was in full swing, was the handball tournament ably managed by Gene 1fV'achspress and Jerry VVhite. Fourteen doubles teams performed on the outdoor courts across from the Church of All Nations. Ted Aster and Leon I-Iattem, sophomore CE's, captured the hon- ors with an undefeated record sewing up the championship with a decisive 15-8, 15-8 triumph over XfVachspress and VVhite, freshmen tournament managers. Sporting a varied and assorted selection of straight balls, hooks and curves, seventy-hve of Cooper's bowling artists battered unmerci- fully at Bowlmor Alley pins in an attempt to walk off with the attrac- tive prizes offered by the Athletic Association. Outdoing last year's round robin tournament, this year's tilt proved to be better played as well as more spirited. A great deal of credit is due to Tom Matco- vich, 2nd Yr. EE, and P. Zachmann, 1-D12-l, who provided the best tournament managing job seen around Cooper in a long time. Ten teams entered the fracas with the ODP Maroon team cap- turing top honors, with an 18 won, 2 lost, record. The winners were led by high average men Ed Norman, Bob F rank, and Oscar Taccogna. Prizes were also given to the high average, Polyn, ASCE, 166.7, the high daily set, Mueller, ODP Gold, 386, and the high game, Frank, ODP Maroon, 215. Under the fine managership of Tony Trujillo and Jack Meien- berg, the intramural basketball tournament began this year with a great deal of anxiety and interest. Wfith the reappearance of varsity basketball, many hopeful individuals will attempt to use the practice and experience gained from intramural basketball as a possible spring- board for making the varsity team. The tournament proceeded smoothly with a Held of 11 teams hghting furiously for the winner's prize which was captured last year by ODP. The surprise team of the tournament was a strong Freshman Section Ll-5 team. Other teams who gave outstanding performances were the 5rd year EE's, LSK and the single Art School team. A novel feature incorporated in intramural basketball this year was the use of student referees fMel Smith, Stan Lazerus, Bill Hallin, and Torn Boutisj to work in conjunction with the regular referees at the Church of All Nations. Aofthfll . . . zlollezfhzll . . . paddle tenniA MIA As always, the intramural softball tournament, Spring '47 edition, awakened the latent desire of the fresh-air starved students for the wide open spaces of Roosevelt Playground or Tompkins Square. The sopho- more lEE's vanquished the second year CE's in the final game to Walk off with the double elimination tournament and the honor attached-mem- bers of the winning team received gold medals for the victors at the A.A. Sports Dinner. The high spirit shown at the games may well be credited to its genial, happy-go-lucky manager, Jerry Gardner. Aiding the manager were the assistant manager, Bernie Fisher, a competent umpiring staff which in- cluded Blind Danny and Al Greenberg, and the lovely recording sec- retary, Ruthie Bowden. Needless to say, the umpiring group did a thriving financial business and Blind Dannyn was able to buy a Seeing Eye. Following the pattern set in winning the previous year's intra- mural volleyball tournament, the Semester 5 CE's made it two chain- pionships in a row by outclassing all opposition and finishing with an unbeaten and unblemished record. Irwin Leitner, manager, and Stanley Hirsch, assistant, ably guided the large turnout of one Day Art and twelve Day Engineering School teams through a successful season. The winning team, though always capitalizing on teamwork, had a number of individual stars. Gil Marin's trolley-wire line drives, Logan Ingram's soft, accurate placements and Sam Erde's delayed action returns were a triple threat which the opposition could not match. Ted Aster, Les Gabrilowitz, Don Chilton, and Eli Rubin com- posed the remainder of the tournament champs. The championship game between the CE's and the Semester 3 EE-2 team ended with the CE's ahead 15-ll, 15-10. On the losing side Charlie Schneider, Jerry W7hite, and Arnold Silverstein played well and kept the final game from assuming the proportions of a rout. Ol all the intramural tournaments during the year, none can compare with paddle tennis in promoting spectator interest not only of Cooper students, but also the general public. The tournament was guided by Eddie Greenberg, manager, and his capable assistant, Fred- dy flvlusclesj Dolgon. The highlight of the double-elimination tournament came in the final 3 sets, with the winner of 2 out of 3 walking off with the laurels. The Hnal sets were played with tennis scoring rules and the victors, Arnold Silverstein and jerry White sophomore EE's, won by scores of 6-4, fl-6, 9-7. The losing team of Gil Marin and Ted Aster, sophomore CE's, put up an excellent fight. With the final volley and the conclusion of the 1947 Paddle Tennis Tournament lunch-time activity came to a virtual standstill with only a handful of hardy men and a spattering of pigeons oc- cupying Cooper Square in the winter. -Miw if 1 1 if i sf ,gagfif Wifi K-, , my 1 4 1 I 5' 1 59:55.

Sqpuaws and warriors bid Aloha Aloha to tl1e older council Older council will cry Farewell NORh'IAN SHA1-nzo 14ctia7itieA Student Council A suddenly revived interest in school politics marked the birth of the l94l7-8 Student Council. In the pre-election campaign when the classes decided on their representatives, students were surprised to see the walls and bulletin boards covered with posters, promises, pleas and other political paraphernalia. It looked as if people were actually anx- ious to work in the council. Some students even thought this anxiety for work might continue after the election and result in an active Stll- dent government. They were right! Only three days after its organizational meeting, the new Council extended its voting membership to include class vice- presidents as well as presidents. This doubled the size of the Council, a move which increased student representation. At this time, the inadequacies of the Council constitution were discussed. The drafting of a completely new constitution was suggested and a committee appointed for this purpose. It was the drafting of this constitution that occupied the Council for the greater part of the year. The constitutional committee work was followed by open readings at which all students were free to criticize and make suggestions. On the basis of the ideas presented at these open readings the Council wrote the hnal draft. This draft was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Cooper Union and then went to the students for ratification. The new constitution, though far from perfect, is a long step in the direction of efficient student self-government. It is a constitution for the student body rather than for the Student Council alone, and is specific on important points such as student rights, referendum and amendment procedure. Free student government at Cooper Union is embodied in the Student Council, which consists of two representatives from each of the classes in the school. Directly or indirectly the council has jurisdic- tion over all extra-curricular student activities. It is divided into parts -the Day and Night Divisions. For most matters the Council meets as one group, but each division may meet independently to conduct busi- ness which does not concern the students of the other division. The chairman, secretary and treasurer of the Day Division filled the same positions on the Joint Council. Panos Galidas was awarded the first certificate of merit ever given by the Council, for his excellent service as chairman during the fall semester. Upon his graduation, Jacob P. Friedman EBDME was elected chairman and served for the fall term. The Council vice-president was Fred P. Diemer GNEE, who also served as president of the Evening Division. Day and Evening Divisions Cozmczl m llctzon Jose Fumero 3DA who was Council secretary lor one month belfore resigning, was succeeded by Fred Kirr, IDE. Abner Diamond 2DA served as treasurer. The vice-chairman was Frank Kovacich 2DCE, While the Night vice-chairman was Louis Korosy 4NChE, and the Night secretary was James Graham 5NChE. The Council this year adopted a new meeting place. Through the courtesy of Dr. Berninghausen it now meets around a long table in the periodicals room of the library. This room lends a sedate atmosphere that encourages deliberation and careful planning of action. Student interest in the Council was constantly high, and there was standing room only for spectators at some of the meetings. The meetings are open to all students, and everyone present is free to speak. Although the new constitution was the major accomplishment of the Council, it was by no means the only one. Mfhile the constitution was taking shape, the Council continued to get things done. It created a Calendar Committee to coordinate the dates of school events in order to prevent conHicts. This committee maintains a calendar of school events on the bulletin board. An appointment committee was established to hustle up students to H11 extra-curricular positions. The inactive Pioneer Board of Control fthe policy forming committee for the school newspaperj was reorganized by the Council for the Hrst ti1ne in years. In the field of nationwide student activity, the Day Division sent Char- lotte Schnapp 3DA as the school representative to the Constitutional Convention of the National Student Association in Madison, Wisconsin. The Day Division subsequently afhliated the Day School with NSA. In short, the one word that best describes the 1947-48 Student Council is-ACTION! Cable it S hewfrlan It was September, the start of the school year and the beginning of plans for the 19417-1948 Cable. The Staff got together and immediately decided that it was necessary to cleanse the minds of the editors before any work could be done. To do this, the group took to the hills and enjoyed the most glorious trip ever held at Camp Green. Along the shores of Tzeluches at Green grew many friendships and person- alities that are diiiicult to tear asunder. Many hours were spent trying to analyze Eddie Greenberg's feelings for Sylvia Medaisky. Even Dr. Burdell was startled, when on his surprise trip to the camp, he heard resounding ape-like yells of Love, Love and saw a big hulk of a man chasing petite Sylvia across the lounge. Could it be Man-lvlountain Dean? But no! It was Man Mountain Greenberg exhibiting the hre man is made of. VVe all agree that Cooperites are lazy, but when seventeen men hopped on Howie Silfm's 1935 horse-carriage, we agreed they are not only lazy'but can take punishment with the linest of Ameri- can manhood. lfVe also learned all too well the adage what those who have gone to Green know too well-that sleep at Green is a dream. It wasn't too disturbing when a tribe of Indians crept over the creeping moss in the Erskine Lodge dorm to chant the saga of Tzeluches at l A.M. but when it was repeated at 15-minute intervals, we knew tradition was not to be disturbed. VVe all take our hats off to the most charming chaperon in the school- Teddy Martin. VVithout her understanding, we could not have brought our minds around to thinking about the Cable. The home of the Cable this year was a 15x15 suite Qentrance from the out- side for information of those poor wandering souls who sought the ofiice and were forced to strip when they wandered into the health office by errorj that was to become the gathering place of half the organizations in the school. In an office usually knee-deep in Pioneers, the Cable managed to produce. And we have produced-copy, editors, characters and more characters! lt would be heresy if the editor-in-chief, handsome Bob Sheridan Qby definitionj, did not head this obituary. Editor Sheridan has a corner on the mar- ket of all the luscious females in the office. I-Ie pounded a staff out of no material Qwe reserve the right to criticize ourselves, but we do not put up with criticism- Right, Howie? Right, Eddie? Right, Joe? Rightlj and molded one of the most successful yearbooks in many years. H-.J Freeman Balding Cy Freeman, who controlled the loot, had a very different sense of humor Qwhich was acquired by his being master of ceremonies in a Hollywood night clubj. I-Ie wept each time he was forced to pay for the sandwiches given the staff when they stayed late to do night work. As he has been the editor's right- hand man, he will undoubtedly be the man to H11 the position next year. Harrison and Rubin Qin alphabetical orderj were the literary connoisseurs to whom the students owe their condolences for being presented with the 100,000 words in this book. It is to them and them alone that God gave a sense of literary values unequalled in the annals of literature and art. Ben Luberoif, the only married man on the editorial staff, we are happy to state, has managed the impossible. Not only has he supervised all the photo- graphing in this book, but he has obtained photographs from Lazerusl Julie Simkins, the literary editor of last year's Cable, switching from the sublime to the ridiculous, became art editor this year. He has fortihed Vivian Mutchnick's shoulders to the point where she has done an excellent job of the art work and he has been clever enough to train Vivian to do the work so well that she will undoubtedly act as art editor next year. Vivian and Betty VV'aldman, a capable assistant and an excellent artist, are beautiful, quiet girls with the spirit to lift a mountain which includes the discouragement of all the over-anxious beavers in the office who have designs on their harmony. Many more lill the spacious spaces of the Cable dungeon. Mfithout Joe Deare and Bernie Hillman, many graduates would be without the witticisms accompanying their picture. Vivacious Marilyn I-Ioffner, beautiful but quiet Henrietta Meisel, petite Rae Magasiner, and sultry Gladys Torres, have spent many hours transferring Hnished copy to form paper-among other things. In May, the Cable came out, much to the surprise of the editors. The budget was even a bigger surprise to the A.P. members. And just in case anybody's in- terested, the guilty ones are listed on the next page. l Top Row left to right: J. Goodman, L. Schertz, I. Simkins, R. Ehrenderg, J. Lowry, D. Gross, K. Beaver, J.

Sin, it seems, has its own rewards. The fun in belonging to the Pioneer has noth- ing to do with the pleasure in see- ing your work in print. It's the time spent up at Green Camp, the laughs you get out of Alphonse, the pleasure you get out of the company of a bunch of swell girls and regular fellows. Life on the Pioneer includes the Friday night bull sessions at some bar, the kidding that continu- ally goes on in the office, and the memorable moments that make Cooper a college, for the staff, rather than just a school. Girls have even found hus- bands on the Pioneer . . . Schnapp has Klein fthey're only engagedj and Pearl has Murray Greenberg. Maybe someone will even hook Hank Hirsch, Norm Perlmutter, Sam Smookler, or some other dash- ing Romeo.

Tommy Seldorff even had some of them up in Mamaroneck. . Early in the fall, they go on Sunday hikes and picnics. In the summer, some of the girls hold open house, extending dressing room privileges, out in their Rock- away retreat. The fun is year round, admission a desire to have a good time. Best of all, in between the good times, the Pioneer gang man- ages to put out a paper they're proud of. But that's another story! Meet The Pioneer Staff The Heroes and Heroines The editors get all the credit for a good issue and most of the blame for a bad one. To hear them tell it, they do all the work. But now it can be told, the stories of unsung heroes and heroines who are on the stai and who really put out the paper. The masthead lists a makeup and production staff. Don't believe it. The morale staff consists of Audrey Girl Type Ashton, as pretty a Brooklyn woman that ever came to Cooper Union, Jackie Hubba Hubba Eisenberg, New Jersey's gift to man's desires, Rae Magasiner, another lovely lassie from the night school, and Rene Kirschner, a comely gal represent- ing the day school . . . our hearts are too weak to continue, but you fC'ontimced on page 112, Col. 32 How the PIUNEER Is Published The Most Amazing Story Ever Told An amazing thing has hap- pened every other week. Somehow or other, that mess that was tram- pled on the floor by a howling mob was transformed into a printed fsometimesj coherent newspaper. For a week prior to publication the Editor-in-Chief has been beg- ging the editors to post assign- ments. A day or so before the deadline, assignments go out. Around ten o'clock Friday night somebody walks in, asks for paper, scribbles a word or two, and walks out .... That's the staff. Then in troop the typists.

I want to take this opportunity to single out for special praise a few individuals who quietly con- tributed to the success of the PIONEER. Bob White and Murray Born- stein, co-editors for the nrst seven issues, whose smooth organization made my task of continuing the PIONEER smoother than a new editor has the right to expect. Dave Young, whose shrewd manipulation of the purse. strings enabled the editors to completely stop worrying over Whether or not to print a picture, an extra cartoon, or a six page issue. Professor Embler, whose guid- ance, sympathy and readiness to stick by the editors was continu- ally inspiring. To the rest of the staff, editors, typists, and those who gave of their precious time to distribute the Pioneer, I wish to say that it has been a pleasure and a privilege to have been your editor. We sincerely hope that the school has been satisned with the paper we have put out this year. If we criticised freely, we did so from a sense of duty. We are grate- ful that while We have received rebuttals to our arguments We have never suffered even the threat of disciplinary action. We can point to the The PIO- NEER and proudly say, Cooper Union believes in a free press , . . there it is! Don Weinblatt MEN: Do you spend Friday nights at home because you're so ugly girls won't have anything to do with you? Are you so stupid that you can't take part in an in- telligent conversation? Several Cooper Union men found themselves in the same boat many years ago. They therefore decided to get together Friday nights and cry in their beer about their lack of sex appeal. As time went by they began to publish a newspaper on Friday nights which they called the C'ryi'nthebeer. This eventually degenerated into the present PIONEER through a linotyper's error. If you have nothing better to do Friday nights come down and annoy us: the present Cooper sticks-in-the-mud. ' How the Pioneer Pub. KC'o'n,t'L'rmed from page 111, Col. 32 Hgure the girls might as well bang the typewriters for a while. Then in walk the boy friends. In a few seconds the o1Tlce clears while all and sundry head for the nearest bar . . . to look at the television. It's either join the crowd or sweep the iioor. The office is locked . . . and the PIONEER has been put to bed. Next week the printer goes crazy. No copy, no cuts, can't find the advertisements, editors on his neck and in his hair. Five days after that fateful Friday night, the day after the session at the printers, the PIO- NEER is out . . . what a rutten issue. By the time the editor gets to the ofiice, all the copies are gone. Everyone is sore because this was left out and that printed incor- rectly. Meet the Pioneer Staff KC'ontinued from page 111, Col. 21 can see why Pioneer weekends at Green camp are eagerly awaited. Some people write occasionally, for example Charlotte Schnapp when she isn't keeping K-Square Klein happy. When I-Ierma Cohen and Silvia Medaisky stop talking about men, jobs and Rockaway they can be counted on to turn in a sprightly piece. Politicians come around also. iLenny Belkin, who started on the Student Council, now handles the club newsl. Some of the other men include Sol Brody, who supplies cigarettes, when he isn't writing, and I-Ielrnuth Knapp, about the only Cooperite on the Pioneer who can count .beyond ten the takes off his shoes and does all the word and headline countsl. Stan Kugler, when not suggesting improvements is invaluable as a make-up assistant. A word for the philosophers, Sam Srnookler and Shapiro. Sam's sweet smile belies his poisoned pen, and Norm's original stuff is aw- fully confusing as he doesn't believe in sentence structure. That's some of the staff, not all, not the most important, not even the most interesting, but it gives you an idea. But . . . the PIONEER is out. How? That's what everyone in the know wonders. Jcti itie Plan The Activities Plan is the only school-wide student-linanced organization at Cooper. Its success or failure is a good index of student activity, school spirit and a long list of other equally ambiguous terms. This year the AP began with more than its usual share of headaches. ln the hrst place, there was a large group of sophomores who felt they were swindled when they were freslnnen. In the second place the administration had dropped the pledge system and the A.P. enthusiasts had to back their zeal with an immediate cash payment. Because of the early deadline of the cash payment, the A.P. had to go into direct competition with the Registrar and the Supply Store. Regardless of what some quarters expect of Cooper students, education evidently meant more to them than enjoyment. They preferred joining The Cooper Union and buying the required text books than joining the A.P. lt did not take long for the students to realize that there would not be any .-LP. Everyone of importance thought that this would be terrible. X'Vhat! no A.P. at Cooper? That would mean that half the oligarchy would be just plain Cooper students again. There would be no PIONEER articles, no CABLE pic- tures, and no Annual Dance memories to mark the 1l1OSt wonderful of all years, the 1947--18 Cooper Union post-war college year. To prevent the catastrophe, drastic steps were taken. The deadline was extended, a semi-pledge system was adopted and Max Kerman really went to work. Eventually the A.P. quota of 700 members was reached. Unfortunately, the fact that there are 700 members is no indication of a general enthusiasm on their part. Instead it is mainly a measure of the unselfish devotion of the time of Max Kerman and the effectiveness of his salesman's tactics. After the most trying campaigns in recent years had ended the I9-17--l8 Activities Plan started planning the biggest social season Cooper has had the pleasure of having in many a year. The A.P. Committee was headed by Max Kerman and Pearl Katz as co-chairman, and Howard Molk and june Goldstein as treasurer and publicity director. This year the A.P. consisted mainly of the CABLE, the PIONEER, and the Annual Dance. Besides these regular functions, the A.P. was able to run two extra dances: the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance and the Roaring Twenties Dance. In addition by co-operating with the Athletic Association, discounts were given on season tickets to home varsity basketball games. The activities of the A.P. were pleasantly concluded with a spring boatride and picnic to Bear lvlountain. Actually all of the A.P. activities were highly successful. This was a pleas- ant surprise to all those who have seen the almost complete lack of student sup- port for the organization earlier in the year. After a long fanfare of publicity, the 31st Annual Dance was held at the Manhattan Center on May 22 in the Grand Ballroom. From the end of February until the day of the dance, the Annual Dance Committee pulled out all the publicity stops at its command to advertise this one, as the best Annual Cooper Union ever attended. Through posters in school and sent to the Alumni House, letters, articles and personal contact, the stage was set for a capacity crowd. Like all activities under the AP this year, the Annual Dance Committee felt the pressure of insufficient funds, so they inaugu- rated the policy of selling tickets to the alumni and non-AP members. Special emphasis was placed on contacting alumni groups, stressing the reunion aspect of the dance. This idea worked out well enough for the Committee to meet its budget requirements without additional AP assistance. The Committee also had the novel experience of changing horses in mid-stream with Frank McClintock, ZDCE, as chairman from October to February and John Hoffman, 3DCE, taking over from February until May. Seems that Frank got one of those little letters from Prof. WVatson's office in january and had to stick his nose back to the grindstone. The dance started at 8:30 P.M. with Les Elgart's orchestra playing for the evening. At the door to greet the dancers were members of the Committee. lN'ith a capacity set at 2000 people, the Committee was not disappointed at the turnout. Before long, the dance floor was hlled and the tables were scenes ol noisy hilarity as more and more students, alumni and faculty arrived. Roaming from table to table and on the fringe of the dance lloor were photographers hired by the Committee to take pictures of the aflfair. A The highlight of the evening was the selection and crown- ing of Mr. and Miss Cooper Union. The Committee decided to depart from the traditional King and Queen theme and to honor instead the two students whose physical measurements were those of the typical Cooper student. 14nna I bgznce ie! .N fa' I Q r.. f Q W ul 4 i 'A' ill? 4 To ,' Jai-. : Q 9 .

It was the story of a senior engineer and a beautiful Cooper artist who fell in love. Their mutual affection suffered many threatening blows, but true love triumphed over all when the heroine discovered that her hero had obtained a S5250 a week job, selling safety pins to, loose women. Featured in the show was an unusual score with words by Donald lfVCl11lJlZltf, Cyril Freeman, and Jack Friedman and music by Rogers, Hammerstein, Cohan, etc. The singing was performed by selected students fthe only ones who could be tricked into doing itj but all turned out well because the school orchestra managed to drown out the singing. It is impossible to give credit to all the individuals who contributed to the success of Class Night, because of the large measure of cooperation received, so none shall be given. The entire affair started in October 1947, when Messrs. Freeman and Friedman Qin alphabetical orderj were appointed by the Student Council. They immediately started work on their new job by olhcially postponing the Hrst committee meet- ing until the day before Class Night. After reconsidering, a meeting was called. Four individuals-including the classnight chairmen and an art school girl-attended. History was made that day, however, because it was unanimously decided that the 1948 Class Night should be a good one. . This major point accomplished, the details of obtaining writers, singers, dancers and actors, stealing jokes, writing a script, writing songs, staging scenes and holding rehearsals, were attended to and required four months for completion. The 1948 Class Night was the Hrst in which all the acts were part of one big play, as opposed to other years when a group of unrelated skits was presented. Charles Lillin's one-man dramatization of The Villain and Little Eva was a big be- tween scenes feature. It is not generally known that tl1e primary function of Class Night is the presentation of Gold and Silver C awards to students active in extra-curricular activities. These awards were made by Dr. Edwin S. Burdell immediately after his customary Class Night address. For a pos!-script to the Class Night performance, take cz look at page 158. i CIA flilnt Ifteralfy . . . magzc . . . chew . . . glee Believe it or not we have at Cooper a club which does no talking and ac- complishes a great deal. Behind its closed doors, hidden in some secret corner of The Cooper Union, the Literary Club holds its meetings for the initiated. They get together and discuss their efforts which lie mainly in two fields, tl1e psychological short story and abstract poetry. The club's master of the short story is Forest Vey and their dean of abstract poetry, Lennie Slonevsky. Pen Tracks, a literary magazine, and contributions to Pulse are the accomplishments of this industrious group. Years ago, Dr. YVilson, editor of the Sphinx, had as his motto, Magic is an art that sometimes instructs, often amuses, and always entertains. Guided by this idea, a magic club was organized at The Cooper Union this year. This club offers activities never available before. Members are initiated into the mysteries of sleight of hand, ventriloquism, spiritualism, mind reading, hypnotism, and also acquire a knowledge of gambling techniques. Such knowl- edge as safe cracking, lock picking, and a method of escaping from straight- jackets are imparted to members of the club, To those of a gambling bent, con- trolling dice, dealing seconds, bottoms, how to cheat at bridge, poker, blackjack, and a very easy and almost legitimate method to win at gin-rummy are taught by an experienced group of experts. Chess offers those with even a slight knowledge of the intricacies of the game a source of relaxation from the rigors of everyday school work. Besides the regular tournaments sponsored by the club, the highlight of the season was the student-faculty chess meet in which the students emerged the victors. The teachers have promised revenge. Last year the team entered the national intercollegiate championship t0u1'- nament sponsored by the United States Chess Federation and emerged tied with N.Y.U., ahead of Harvard, Yeshivah College, Rutgers and Stevens Tech. The team members are Charles Peterson, Robert Bassemir, 1-Ierb Dropkin, lid Feldman, Gene XfVachspress, Gerry King and Milton Marder. In November, 1947, a group of students who thought they had voices good enough to serenade the students of Cooper, formed a new Glee Club with the expressed purpose of singing Christmas carols. The Christmas season was the most encouraging time for the growth of choral activities and it has been an important factor in bringing the club to its present size. The club provides an opportunity for all to try their voices at being a musical performer rather than a listener. At present, the club is being trained and conducted by its chairman, VV. S. Homburger, and is considering expanding its activities so that the Cooperites hear more from them other than at Christmas time. Without doubt one of the most conscientious student organizations, the orchestra has added many new accomplishments to its record of previous years. In the past, the orchestra usually undertook to provide dance music at the two or three AP sponsored dances each year. This year, the members have gone even further by foregoing the usual Saturday night pleasures in order to serenade the basketball team and fans at our home games. V By maintaining a large selection of popular tunes, the orchestra has been able to grant many of the requests at each dance, including the perennial cry of Samba Progressive thought is ineffective without progressive action. Witli this real- ization a group of students, organized as the Young Progressive Citizens of America, have brought political activity to the campus. They are not content to merely discuss the problems of a postwar worldg they are attempting to tell their representatives in Congress and the United Nations of their ideas on these problems. The youth of the nation are most deeply affected by inflation and depres- sion, discrimination in education and employment, peacetime conscription, and curtailment of civil liberties. The YPCA is rapidly becoming the voice with which the interested students at Cooper are making their opinions heard. The prime activity of the Mathematics Club is the presentation of lectures on various general topics of Mathematics. These lectures are given by members of the club. Each member has the privilege of choosing any topic of special interest to him. The lectures serve a twofold purpose: one, to acquaint the members of the club with those phases of mathematics which are of interest to engineers, and the other, to present topics which are of purely theoretical and historical interest. Lectures that have been presented this past year have been on Approximation Methods, Determinants and Matrices, Functions of Complex Variables and Operational Methods. ' In previous years, the Dance Club enjoyed the comparative privacy of the lunchroom, but when school began in September, it seemed that the students would have to forget all about dancing because of the construction work going on in the building. Fortunately, some of the more ambitious students were able to get permission to use the sixth floor lounge and the strains of the swing and sway of rhumbas, fox-trots, and waltzes drifted down the elevator shaft. The group met on Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:45 P.M. About 6:00 P.M,, evening students would drop in to take a few spins around the dance floor. orclneAtm . . . ypca . . . mail: . . dance br matic and bebafting ocietie The bright lights that attract thespic moths drew a particularly large and talented group this year. YV'ith new freshman enthusiasm and some upperclass members to lend their experience, Professor Childs formed a group that had the Abbey Players looking to their laurels. After a series of heated meetings on the selection of a play, the Elmer Rice 'Adding' Machine was chosen. Unity and a singleness of purpose were universal and the show went into rehearsal. It was performed before the Christmas recess to great applause and favorable comment-even from the Pioneer Drama Critic. The male lead, Mr. Zero, the arch-nothing, was played in hne form by Mar- vin Macnow. The woman with whom he shared to a very small degree the lelicity of unbounded domesticity was well portrayed by Molla Zellermayer, and l1is unrequited Qin this world as well as in Rice's otherj love nicely executed by Vice-President Marilyn Mlolf. The Machine's sets were designed by President Irwin Glusker and executed by Stage Manager Molly Zimmerman and an able crew. The second semester's performance was Reading From Left to Right, a play by the Club playwriters Carl Fischer and Bert Lief, who last year gave us the Good Soldier Cla'zzdi11..r. A series of impartial surveys conducted by usually unreliable sources has shown that Cooper students resemble human beings in at least one respect- they like to talk. It has been observed, that, without any provocation they will begin spiritual discussions on any subject, including the design and construc- tion of seven-foot helical slide rules for the personal use of surrealist artists. To divert some of this energy into the discussion of somewhat controversial topics, a small group of studentshas gotten together to organize the Debating Society, To start the ball rolling, Bert Lief and Charles Peterson went to Temple University taking the affirmative side of the question, Resolved, That a VVorld Federal Government Be Established. This debate was not judged. The next opponent to mince words with Cooper was Columbia College. I-lirschel Schwartz and Bert Lief again took the allirmative side on, Resolved, That the Revival of the Comintern is a Direct Threat to the Security of the United States. ' A third meet with Stevens Institute, which Bill Hershleder and Lief argued the positive on, Resolved, the Presence of Communists in the U. S. Constitutes a Menace to Our YVay of Life. Mr. Caldiero, of the Humanities Department, as faculty advisor has been of considerable assistance in developing the main lines of argument used in the debates. There is also an exrofhcio member, Mr. Finley of the Cooper Union Library who has helped considerably by providing the Society with material for the debates.

Louis MORRISON: Editor The Alumni Association extends a warm greeting to the mem- bers of the class of 1948. On your graduation from Cooper Union you join a large and distinguished fraternity of men and women in the professions of art, architecture, and engineering. They are bound together by the common heritage of Peter Cooper's legacy and are proud to perpetuate the principles which he sought to real- ize through the establishment of the Cooper Union for the Advance- ment of Science and Art. During the early 1900's, individual departmental alumni asso- ciations were founded, each concentrating only on its own field. To remedy this apparent disinterest in the activities of other gradu- ate groups, an Alumni Federation was created. It consisted of two permanent and two annually elected representatives from each department. The Federation engineered those, and only those, activi- ties concerning all graduates. VVhen this arrangement proved un- satisfactory, departmental groups disbanded and one large Alumni Association was formed. The purpose of the Alumni Association is twofold. It is to continue to make available for graduates the personal, professional and cultural stimuli provided by the school during their under- graduate years and to repay the debt they owe to Peter Cooper by contributing to the progress of the school for the benefit of succeeding generations of students. ln fulfilling this purpose, we are also fulfilling Peter Cooper's purpose in founding our Alma Mater as expressed in the Deed of Trust in the following words: to . . . contribute in every way to aid the elforts of youth, to acquire useful knowledge, and to Find and to fill that place in the community where their capacity and talents can be usefully employed with the greatest possible advan- tage to themselves, and the community in which they live. 14 Aociation il Our program of activities is geared to meet the needs of all our members. Along professional lines, for the engineers we have a refresher course in which they can brush up for the Professional Engineers' License Examinations. For the artists, there is a sketch class which meets weekly to do sketching from life. Regular monthly meetings feature informative addresses on timely subjects of tech- nical or general interest, followed by a social hour. The speakers are often our fellow alumni who have achieved distinction in their respective Fields. During the summer, outings to Green Engineer- ing Camp take the place of the meetings. The Alumni Association wants to secure public recognition of Cooper Union's achievements, raise it to a new height, and help every student or graduate into a position where his abilities are put to the best possible use, thus hoping to fulfill Peter Cooper's dream of a powerful influence in the community, able to improve political and economic conditions. The oliicial publication of the Alumni Association is the Alumni News, which comes out monthly during the winter ften times a yearj. It keeps the members posted on the activities of the Association, the progress of fellow alumni and developments at the school. The Alumni Association Placement Bureau provides a valu- able service to graduates seeking positions or better positions and to undergraduates seeking employment. It is recognized by leading industrial firms as a rich reservoir of well-trained professional people. The club house, on West 53rd Street in 'mid-Manhattan, is conveniently located for meetings, lectures, or as a rendezvous with friends. It has a lounge and game room and is open to mem- bers and their friends weekdays and evenings. The Alumni Association has experienced an unprecedented spurt in membership during the past year. With this growth, it hopes to reach a position of greater usefulness. It looks to the younger members, among whom the class of l94l8 are now taking their places, for the fresh stimulus to active participation in all its functions and services to Cooper Union, to its alumni and to the community. r We of the Alumni Association welcome the class of 1948 into our ranks and their assistance and support in bringing to complete realization the hopes of Peter Cooper for a richer life and a better world.

Zambda Yau Originally lounded as an honorary society to elevate the journalistic level of The Pioneer, Lambda Tau, through the unparalleled excellence and pro- gressiveness of its ineinbers, has coinc to be recognized as a unique organization, unselhshly dedicated to raising the social, intellectual, and innnoral level of society, as a whole. D The election to the Chancellorship of Alphonse Norinandia, to succeed the perennial Sam Smookler, debilitated by his ceaseless strivings in behalf of humanity, was strong indication that the policy of progressive realism would be continued and even augmented. Diagnosing the sex neuroses as the basis of the turmoil in our society, Nor- mandia, aided by a small but courageous group of stalwart liberals which in- cluded Bob lfVhite, specialist in female frustration complexes, Don lflfeinblatt and Dave Young, who had originally asked Dr. Kinsey to undertake his epochal investigation olf sex behavior patterns, Murray Bornstein, famed cynic and author of Intellect vs. Sex, Don Burgess, straight man for Normandia, Elsie Sakalian, aggressive sex equality advocate, Hank Hirsch, rosy-checked adherent of the Sinner Life, and the others, attacked the problem with characteristic vigor. At the end of the year, lnnnanitarian Nornlandia is able to report con- siderable success. Most significant progress was made by Murray Greenberg, K2 Klein and Dave Young, who at the cost of considerable frustration, have developed strong bonds of unity with the opposite sex. Considerable tenacity was evidenced by T. Selldorl, Gil Marin and Nathan Pepper. Concluded Chancellor Normandia, This noble work shall continue. To that end, I have formed a Group for the linlighteninent of Engineering Peasants to be known henceforward as the G.E.E.P. ,l I lil. Q in , 1 ix r l sfqm Top row, L to R: E. Rubing E. Greenbergg J.

It is rewarded with membership in Ex Post Facto, the honorary society of the Cable. Inaugurated many years ago, its purpose has been to single out those members of the able stall, who, by dint of self-sacrihcing, tireless, and meritorious efforts, have carried on the principles and traditions upon which the Cable was founded in 1926. The original intent ofthe founders of the society was that wearers of Ex Post Facto keys act in the capacity of guides and advisers to their successors on subsequent Cables. Little use has been made of the potentialities of the organi- zation as staffs for the past few years have been small and composed of seniors-. However, due to the present large increase in members and increased interest in the magazine, its activities will be greatly expanded. 'With this as an objective, a new constitution has been drafted by IfVilliam I-Iershleder, vice chairman, denning the membership and character of the organization. In keeping with the high spirit of the present stall members the society sponsored parties which were intended to develop Hrmer relationships btween the old and new members. Coveted keys have been awarded this year to Cyril Freeman, business manager, Irving Hammer, managing editorg Eli Rubin and Jonas I-Iarrison, co-literary editorsg Ben Luberoff, photography editor, and Edwin Greenberg, advertising manager. It will be these men who will be expected to carry to Ex Post Facto the camaraderie that they have developed while working on the present Cable.

Jmerican Society 0 Ci il ngineem To promote and further the interest and standing of its members in the engineering profession and to develop a spirit of cooperative service in profes- sional, civil, and social life for tl1e common good of all .... -the Constitution of The Cooper Union Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Not long ago a questionnaire was circulated among all the civil engineers in the school. One question was, To which activities should your ASCE chapter confine itself: professional, social, or both? The answers were with a few ex- ceptions, both. And that describes exactly the function of the Cooper Union Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers in the life of the C.E. at Cooper. On the professional side, the Chapter this year arranged an extensive series of lectures on different aspects of the profession by noted engineers in diverse phases on civil engineering work, and also sponsored a contest for student papers, with prizes awarded at the end of the year by the Alumni Association. On the social side, the Chapter's traditional activities, the Freshman Reception and the Annual Dinner-Dance, were supplemented by the Dance sponsored by the Conference of the Metropolitan Chapters of the ASCE, and by the student chapter conferences at the Annual Meeting of the ASCE. Add to all this the Cooper Survey, mimeographed house organ of the Chapter, and the CE weekends at Camp Green during the fall and winter, to give a picture of an organization functioning for the professional and social development of its 1'l'1C111lJC1TSl1iP. The Cooper Union Chapter of the ASCE owes a debt of deep gratitude to Professor Ray C. Brumfield, who resigned from the faculty in October 1947, after many years of service to the Chapter as its faculty adviser, and to his successor in that position, Professor Giles G. Green.

Hillman Nmerican Society of mechanic I ngineem Maintaining the role of the most active engineering society on the campus, The Cooper Union Day Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers has continued to operate as a clearing house for technical papers and as an organization for social and academic functions. The highlight of the ASME activities during the spring of '47 was the trip to the steel mills of Bethlehem, Pa. during the mid-semester recess. This trip, while one of academic interest, allowed both student and instructor to discuss common problems in a very different atmosphere-a clouded smoking car. 'ln May of 1947 a Cooper delegation attended the annual Metropolitan Convention held at Columbia University. In addition to having a good time and enjoying good speakers, we brought back to Cooper the third place award for student paper presentation-many thanks to Roy M. Greene. At the first meeting of the year the following men were elected to office: Henry lfVald, chairmang Robert Sheridan, vice-chairmang and J. Carl Apsley, treasurer. Professor William A, Vopat was unanimously reelected as faculty advisor of the group. Walter Sinelnick and Cathy Levanis were appointed to the program committee. Messrs. Young and Greenberg, co-chairmen of the Annual Christmas Din- ner Committee, aided and abetted by schemers Wald and Zimmer, worked dili- gently to insure the success of the 24th annual dinner held at Hans .Iaeger's Restaurant. The dinner was late in starting, giving the ME's a chance to linger over a glass or two while chatting with classmates and instructors and familiar alumni. Guest speaker Professor Henry B. Hope contributed materially to the evening's entertainment. Graduation of Henry Walcl was the reason for a mid-year election.

Its purpose is to mark in a htting manner both the students who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character and the alumni who have attained prominent positions or noteworthy accomplish- ments in the field of engineering, and, also, to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America. Witli the latter purpose in mind, Mu Alpha Omicron, the Cooper Union engineering honorary society, founded in 1926, became the New York Iota Chapter of Tau Beta Pi on January ll, 1947. In the year since its national affiliation, the activities of New York Iota have shown a marked increase. Its summer tutoring program was a large success and the object of a great deal of interest on the part of other chapters. In November 1947 and in March 1948, highly successful Annual Dinners were held at which time many new members were inducted. The National Convention of Tau Beta Pi was held in New York during October 1947. At the convention, NYI acted as the host along with the other Tau Beta Pi chapters in the metropolitan area. An outgrowth of the conven- tion was the Metropolitan Council of Tau Beta Pi, an organization of host chapters, founded to interchange ideas and to plan social activities. The increase in members and activities of the NYI are a certain sign of its increasing service to the school. A true engineer must be able to adapt himself ingeniously to all circum- stances and conditions, making them conform to his purpose .... No man can become a worthy engineer without the welfare of his associates, his organizations, and his community at heart. -Eligibility Code of Tau Beta Pi. .3 Top row, L to R: A. Tepferg G.

Zambda Sigma Kappa Lambda Sigma Kappa, from its founding in 1905 to the present, has as its basis the equality most rare among fraternal organizations-non-sectarianism. This tenet of tl1e Fraternal Code permits the induction of brothers on the basis of character and scholarship without limitations on their race, creed, or color. The fruits of this practice are evidenced in the enviable record established by the brothers of Lambda Sigma Kappa in all phases of activity. One of the most important events of the year to us was the series of smokers held for the freshman class. At these informal get-togethers we introduced our- selves to the freshmen, with the object in mind of selecting new members to perpetuate the fraternity and its ideals. Those selected were asked to pledge for the fraternity until they are proven worthy of membership. Because we realize that some fine men may be passed over by this selection, pledgeship is not restricted to freshmen, and a man at any time may receive an invitation to pledge for L.S.K. During the school year, fraters and pledgees alike participated in our social and athletic activities. Teams were entered in all the intramural tournaments. Not only does L.S.K. give parties, but the fraternity has been invited as a group to parties given for us by several sororities and similar organizations of females. Every year, at least one trip to Green Engineering Camp is sponsored by the frat. Escape from work and women make the Friday night meetings a source of pleasure to the brothers. Lately L.S.K. has been engaged in that most popular American outdoor many years, and many reasons, L.S.K. has been time has come. If we can only find some place sport-apartment hunting. For homeless, but now at last the good enough for a frat house, but not that good that the brothers will move their families in, we will have a home. Fratres in Facultate Prof. H. F.

A group of students at Cooper Union, motivated by the desire to strengthen the friendships made at school, were the nucleus of the organization. After five years, their success being realized, an Alumni body was established so that the graduates could devote their time to furthering the cause and allow the under- graduate members a freer hand in the chapter management. In 1913, the Articles of Incorporation were granted to the brotherhood by the State of New York. Two years later, the original evening school body was granted a charter as Alpha Chapter of Omega Delta Phi. Since that time, the fraternity has continued to expand, with the result that it now has four chapters throughout the New York area. Beta chapter at Brooklyn Polytech was formed and granted a charter soon after Alpha received its charter. With the opening of the Day School at Cooper Union, it was befitting that Omega Delta Phi aid in student development, and consequently, in 1928, the Day School group received a charter as Delta Chapter. The last charter was granted in 1935 to a group of students at Brooklyn College, which became Epsilon Chapter. The ideals and purpose of the founders have been adhered to, and it is upon these principals that the strength of the fraternity is built. At the beginning of the school year, Open House is held on several occasions for the incoming freshmen. The purpose of these receptions is to alleviate any uncertainty and set the men at ease. Alumni and upper classmen aid by talks and informal association, the men are paired at bridge, chess, pool, checkers, gab sessions, etc., climaxed by a light lunch. Thus the barriers are lowered and the newcomers made to feel at home. On Saturday night, informal dances are held at the Fraternity House and occasionally there are stag smokers. During the year, two all-chapter formals are held. Last fall's formal, held at the Beekman Towers Hotel, was one of the most successful. The social season is climaxed in June by the annual convention. Students are pledged for a minimum of one semester, but cannot be con- sidered for membership unless they have completed successfully their iirst year's work at Cooper Union. New men are urged to consider Fraternity affiliations. john johl Al Frascella - Ray Hermida Vkfilliain Lindenfelser Henry Egen Ferd Diemer Jim Graham John Dewender George Geisenhainci Vincent DiGennaro Martin Zenk Louis Korosy Robert Horton Herbert McNulty Joseph Swatko Charles Gallacr Dan Davidson Dave Matson William Egcn Anthony Ancona Henry Cubberly John Ciampaglia John Cubero Robert Ernst Hfilliam Herrick Richard Parsekian Albert Semmelroth George Smith Thomas Harding Standing, L to R: V.

It is a pleasure and an honor for us to say hello again to all the members of The Cooper Union. The members of the Night Engineering School, who during their sojourn at Cooper joined P.S.O., have helped to continue the traditions and spirit of this fraternity through both lean and full years, During the past two years, a strong effort has been ex- erted to streamline and to coordinate the activities of the fraternity having as an objective a more complete fulhllment of the social and scholastic needs of both present and future Night Engineering students. A full schedule of both recreational and academic events programmed before the beginning of the new school year has made P.S.O. a healthy growing organization which is looking to the future objectively, blending pleasure with business. The keynote of the aims and policies of Phi Sigma Omega is that of spon- soring whole-hearted cooperation and comradeship among its members and their associates. Such motivation is inherent in both the academic and social progress of the organization. To supplement your efforts directed toward Hlling the voids in your social life while attending Night 'Engineering school, P.S.O. invites you to join its membership and to participate in the informal dances, discussions, parties, pic- nics and summer outings. For those who are looking for the opportunity to join with their classmates in clown-to-earth study sessions, P.S.O. membership offers the use of its quarters for both you and your friends. The members of Phi Sigma Omega extend their hearty congratulations to the 1948 graduates, and their best wishes for a pleasant vacation to the adminis- trative staff, the faculty, and all the members of the student body.

From its inception, its purpose has been to develop the whole man and to promote a foundation for strong friendships which endure through the years. Today there are 8 active chapters and 3 alumni chapters. During the war years this fraternity was dormant at Cooper, but in 1946 with the return of the brothers it was reactivated. All during the year the calendar of the hard working engineers is rounded out with dances, parties and smokers, sometimes with the cooperation of other chapters. The highlights of this year were the Christmas Dance at the Hotel Taft and the Annual Convention Dinner. Witll inhnite perseverance, the brothers have reestablished the fraternal bonds which have welded them together in the Past and have established new and lasting ones.

Finally, in September 1946, a small group of veterans got together during a trip to Camp Green and laid the ground- work for the Peter Cooper Chapter of the American Veterans Committee. AVC, the parent body, is a national organization, and is recognized and respected as the biggest and most progressive of the veteran groups of W'orld War ll. lts position can be summed up in its slogan, Citizens first, veterans second, and in its light for a democratic and prosperous America and a more stable world. The Peter Cooper Chapter has supplemented the national policies of its parent organization. QAVC has been a leader in the losing fight for lower prices, civil liberties, and housingj. The chapter has also been instru- mental in adjusting the inequities in the supply allowances granted vet- erans, and in supplementing the services ollfered by the school's Veteran Counselor. ' Under the able leadership of Ben Luberoff and Irving Rosner, chair- man and vice-chairman respectively, the chapter has grown rapidly, until now its more than fifty members make it the largest student organization on the campus. flewman C1116 The Newman Club is an organization for Catholic culture and fellow- ship. Its object is the development of spiritual, intellectual and social interests among the Catholic students of the Cooper Union. Organized in 1923 it became alhliated with over 250 other clubs in the country which comprise the Newman Club Federation. There are twenty-six Newman Clubs in the New York Province of the Federation and the Cooper Union Chapter takes part in all Province activities. Throughout the year bi-weekly meetings of the Cooper Union Newman Club are held to discuss topics of spiritual and intellectual interest. These topics are aimed to inspire the members with an idealism and a zeal to work for a better world where justice, charity, security and an abiding peace will be the rightful possessions of all peoples. Toward this end the kindly advice of Father Smyth, a former navy chaplain, is most inspiring. Social events for the past year included several dances, a trip to camp, Communion breakfasts, and the annual Province convention held at the Commodore Hotel. mf you Beneath the exterior structure of any publication lies various personalities whose help and guidance contribute towards successful production. The 1947-48 CABLE holds no exception to the adage. The steps thru the .long year of prepara- tion were large and tedious to climb but with the assistance of such people below, we have ascended faster and'done better. a Therefore, it is with sincere gratitude that we thank:- Professor Raymond B. Dowden-who has been a most understanding ad- visor and remaining at all times a friend. Professor Herbert F. Rommele, Industrial Relations Oflicer-who author- ed the remarks concerning Dean Bateman and in other ways contributed with timely criticism and opinions. Mr. Art Fleisher of Comet Press-who has been a strong friend and invalu- able aide during the production of the book. And to the new Mrs. Fleisher: for sharing Art with the Cable Staff many nights during the past months- our thanks. Teddy Martin, whose consideration for, and appreciation of Cooper stud- ents were dictated by her understanding of us, All of us will miss you, Teddy! The gentlemen at Delma Studios-Messrs. Kerker, Rubens, and Fields for their professional advice and services. Elliot Kanner ol the library stall-for his assistance in preparing the article concerning the library. In closing we should like to thank those variousNorgzmizalions and adver- tisers who by virtue of their subscriptions have lzelped jaroduce the 1947-48 CABLE. Ke e Clvaing . . . Now that you have seen tl1e 1948 Cable, We would like to summarize the several alterations that have been made in the format and to also tie up any loose ends that may be lying around. Undoubtedly, the most pronounced change in tl1e context of this book is the elimination of posed class pictures. These pictures have never been an accurate pictorial record Qwhich by the way has been the only purpose for including them in previous yearbooksj and not only that but they in no way reveal the character of Cooper college life. ln the space usually occupied by class pictures, we have placed a photographic record of daily campus activities. VVhether this new procedure shall be followed in future Cables will be determined by your response to our innovation. ' One of the greatest accomplishments of the 1948 Cable will go unseen by most. That accomplishment is the development of staffs now experienced and capable of assuming the responsibility of future Cable production. It is with sincere personal pride that I say that our staff has grown by leaps and bounds, and that its growth has fostered a camaraderie much needed on Cooper Square. YVe of the Cable are also proud to say that the success of the Business and Advertising staff has been an integral factor in helping to make this Cable the largest Cooper yearbook in years. Before concluding 1 shall like to tender thanks to guys and gals like Cy Freeman, Jonas Harrison, Ben Luberoff, Eli Rubin, Eddie Greenberg, Bernie Hillman, lrv Hammer, joe Deare, Vivian Mutchnick, and Marilyn Hoffman who have helped make our Cable a success. l'Ve have cast the die! The product of our labor will rapidly take its place in the ever growing past, and all we hope is that it shall serve to enrich your memories of Cooper.
