gf JOSEPH NV. CUSHING ..,. ...Ridley Park, Pa. ELECTRICAL:-Senior Debating Society. i Foe to loud jvraise, and friend to Icamed ease, Cl07'1l'6'lli zcfilflz sciwzfe in the vale of jveacef' ' GRINDU i - Behold 'Doo' Cushing. Vlfhither he obtained the name we know not, for he is not at all like rx Doctor. Doc loves to take data. Nothing gives him more pleasure than to, plot curves and take data, He also loves to dope out three-phase star-connected systems. To catch him in his best mood, steal into the E. E. lah. and watch the smile play around his lips as he jots clown Figures. If the experi- ment calls for five sets of data, Doc takes seven. He says it minimizes error. It also maximizes calculationg but 'lDoc doesnlt mind that. Any morning he may be seen carrying a little Satchel in his hand. This may contain anything from a pair of pliers to a power plant. n Docl' has plenty of friends, and will make many more without a doubt. 25

GEORGE A. S. COOPER .... .... P hiladelphia, Pa. ELECTRICAL :-Senior Debating Soeietyg Orchestra Qzjg Leader Orchestra He trudged along,Vzmk1ez0wi11-g what he sought, And rzwlzistled as he went, for want of thought. J H.- f-eooP'f Cooper is our famous music man. Wfhen it comes to Ragtime Violinu Cooper can deliver the Goods. P He is not a large man physically, but marvelous thoughts lie beneath that noble forehead. Wfhezi speaking of speed also include Cooper. He is especially fast at the drawing board, so much so in fact, that he can draw a straight line with a bow compass. In Cooper the Beanery has also another good customer. Cooper likes his daily cinnamon bun. This lad also loves to study human nature and at noon may be found in the great court gazing at the host of fair young ladies. This lad had his photograph taken during drawingx period so he vvouldn't have to draw his trans- former, This didn't work on Prof. Beaver, however, for that man is wise. His pet hobby is taking indicator cards on pump tests. He liked this so well, in fact, that he spent four weeks testing our duplex pump. 24

WTLLIAM FARLEY. . , .... New Centreville, Pa. l ELECTRICAL :-Senior Debating Society. Izzy sobm' state t Tlzrough the S8Q'L'LL'.YfC'7'Cd vale of rzmil life, y The t'crze'1'able f7tIf'l'1'Cl7'Cl1 gfzfileless held Q The tenor of his -way. ' 'FARMER BILL Wfhen it comes to math.. this brown-eyed chap cannot be beaten. He can integrate, differentiate, and, in fact, misses his morning calculus more than his breakfast. He was going to invent a new calculus, but could find nobody to publish it. Rumor hath it that Farley was offered a job juggling ngures in a vaudeville show, but he de- cided to stay at Drexel. He is the lad who sent some pretty valentines to some fair individual Qwe don't know her name.j Always happy, cheerful and ,full of ambition, he has never failed on any job he has undertaken, His pet diversion is studying heteropolar, homopolar alternators. Hawkins and VVallis lies close to his heart. He is the lad who tried to make an oil engine run on cider and then wondered why it wouldn't go. Bill, you should have been a Prof. in mathematics. i 26
