c 'vi ngi eerin Many have wondered about the group of men who always stand on the street corner long after the bell has rung. 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.

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
