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

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

ERNEST JOHNSON . . . . . .Philadelphia, Pa. ELECTRICAL:-Senior Debating Societyg Vice President I Cgjg Treasurer'D. C. E. Qgjg A. A. C2, Ijg Advisory Board CNZJ. Losing, he 'ZC'I.71S, because his zmmc will be Emzoblcd by defeat, who durst vofztevzd with m,e. ' NPOPM Behold the man who developed I 5 horse-power running upstairs in a' Physics experiment. He thought he did, at any rate, but later found out that he had slipped up on a decimal point. Johnson is an ardent supporter of Teddy Roosevelt, and any noon may be found talking politics in the Senior locker room with Bill Seyffert. l Wfllenever you wish a job done in first-class style, you may be assured that Johnson can do it if anybody can. His persistence and grit have carried him through many problems, and nothing is ton big for him to tackle Knot even Vandyj. His favorite dish is work served on toast. Besides being a good worker, he is a jolly good fellow and possesses a host of friends. He is also very active in school organizations, and has done much to help them along. Q VVhen he first came here the Juniors wished to douse him in the M. E. lab. tank. Johnson, how- ever, showed those upper classmen where he came from, and soon had them onthe run. VV'e expect great things of Ernest Johnson in the engineering world. ' 27
