MORRIS J. SIEGEL 3206 W. Diamond St., Philadelphia, Pa. Civil Engineering TREASURER Elected treasurer of the class in both his junior and senior years, Morris has fulfilled the duties of his office capably anc efficiently. The handling of money in a large class such as this requires a great deal of time and a knack for attending to an abun- dance of details. Morris, apart from school and work, is a family man, happily married and the father of two children. He graduated from West Philadelphia High School in 1944 and has taken courses in mechanical drav ing. Before entering the U. S. Navy he worked ds a draftsman for the U. S. Signal Corps and the Department of City Transit. In the Navy, Morris rose from apprentice seaman to a Petty Officer in less than ten months. After being discharged, he returned to the Department of City Transit, where he was soon promoted to Structural Draftsman. In late 1950, when the bulk of the subway extensions were designed and under contract, he resigned to accept the position of Assistant Engineer of Design — Structural with the Bureau of Engineering, Surveys and Zoning, City of Philadelphia. EHere he is engaged in the design and detail of the various municipal projects, ranging from heavy structures such as sewage treatment plants and pumping stations to light buildings and airport work. This work also requires the drawing up of estimates and the checking of specifications. Morris outlook tends toward altruism as well as ambition since he not only desires to become an authority in structural engineering but would also like (eventually) to become a member of the Drexel faculty so that he might do his part in assisting future engineers in their struggle for recognition. YEARBOOK EDITOR GEORGE C. KREWSON 612 Devereaux Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. Mechanical Engineering — Machine Design When they began the expression Let George Do It, they must have had someone like George Krewson in mind. Into his capable hands fell the task of editing and writing the material for this publication of the SPARTAN. Gathering material, writing, rewriting, coordinating the art, business and editorial groups, meeting deadlines, keeping the printer, photographer and en- graver busy and handling numerous miscellaneous details are only pari of the job. The only compensation he will receive is the experience gained both in the writing and in the managing of his staff (which will prove valuable in his future career ' ) and the satisfaction of doing a job well. When George was elected to the position of editor of the yearbook, the class of 1952 was fortunate indeed, for his technical background plus his keen interest in things literary provided an ideal individual for the office. His creative ideas run in two channels, writing and de- signing. Employed as a standards specialist for the Link-Belt Company for almost four years, he has also accumulated five years experience as a draftsman and designer with the Andale Company in the manufacture of heat exchanger equipment and with the Frederick H. Levey Company in the construction of printing machinery. A graduate of Central High School ' s 181st class, he is married, has two daughters and believes all engineers should be fully informed on world affairs and modern business and its man- agement and not confine themselves only to technical matters. A deep thinker, he expressed his views on the present state of the nation very ably in the foreword of this book. George is an outspoken man, but he combines this with his inboin tact and gracious charm. These attributes and his native ability for pro- jecting his vitality and zest for working upon all those around him insure his success. 10
