MECHANICALS CContinuedD Now last, but not least, in bulk at any rate, and importance, too tif his own opinion counts for anythingj, comes Van de Mark, the loquacious president of the class. Wfhen it comes to selling foun- tain pens Vandy can tell you in three different languages at once that you are missing the opportunity of a lifetime if you do not buy one. NVe have great hopes for Vancly's future. They say a prophet is never respected in his own country. Perhaps some clay some country, such as-well, say Mexico, will recognize Yanclyfs- Worth and then he will come into his Own. SO

Electricals. Wfe are the men who handle the juice, Nothing dead about us, either, for we're all live wires. Sometimes we do very shocking things, but if we only kilovolt there's no harm done. At any rate we profess to know more about electricity than any section in the school. Wfe profess, but how much we really know is another question. These words constantly ring in our ears: V A re there any questions ? Not being stupid we only ask sensible questions. Moody and Roberts are the Haddonfield Twins. Moody does the work and Roberts, as is the case with the man higher up, looks wise and superintends the job. Moody is everywhere at once and is a spry .little runt. Roberts would rather play cards than take data. Farley and Johnson are the inseparable Siamese Twins. Johnson always wears his glasses in the Lab. because glass is an insulator. johnson is a good man to put transformers on the rack. Farley connects up the lines and Johnson pulls in the star hsh Cstar connectedj. Cooper and Scott delight in repairing reheostats. In fact, one of the rheostats actually worked worse after it was subjected to indignities at their hands than it ever did before. It cut out resistance when it should have cut it in. Cooper and Scott donit understand it, and never will. Cushing and Robbins are the workers of the bunch. Doon loves to find Haws in Scott trans- formers. Robbins likes to get done early, so he can catch the 3.50 train for Trenton. Gnce in a while he gets it, too. Prof. Beaver is our one best bet. He has taught us a whole lot, and we hope to be in a position some day to teach him some A. C. VVe dearly love him, however, and wonder if he can say the same for us. 52
