Thomas J. Carney Tom Carney's good-nature is so contagious that even chronic grouches can't escape it-that's why everybody's always glad to see him. Whether the secret of Tom's exub- erance lies in always doing whatever he likes, or in always liking whatever he does, is not known for certain. However we do know that if he is a play-boy he somehow manages to take every trick. Mohawks '34, '35, Treas. '35: Tennis Team '32-'35, Capt. '34: Class Marshall '34: M. A. A. Board '34. Dorofhy F. Carr Dot is a curly haired blonde with a healthy zest for life. She is always ready for something new and enjoys it to the full. Dot may look harmless, but just engage her in an argu- ment and you'll find her swift repartee far from comforting. Hockey '32g Soccer '32: Basketball '32. Anna Clark It is claimed on good authority that Anna Clark's I.Q. is one of the highest in the class. She is talented in both art and literature, and thoroughly capable in every respect. It is unfortunate that F. T. C. has not made better use of her abilities. Glee Club '32-'34: Sec. of Class '33, Eugene W. Coakley Coak, Nini, and Cherub, he answers to all of them -reluctantly. Coak entered the portals of F. T. C. smil- ing and time has wrought no change. 'Though no giant physically, Nini knows that size is not the measure of a man,--what's more, he can prove it. His success as president of the Cilee Club, and his afhrmed love of the opera leads us to suspect him of high ambitions. At any rate. he'll succeed, for when he says he'll arrive, he arrives.

Ruth P. Ar'I'l1ur Billings Eminently capable both as a student and as an executive, Ruth has given freely of her time and of herself to F. T. C. Serious and conscientious, she goes purposefully about her never-ending duties. For relaxation Ruth likes a game of tennis, and We are told she wields a far from gentle racquet. W. A. A. Board '32, '33: Head of Tennis '33: Glee Club '32, '33, '35: Nature Club '34, '35: Day Girls Asso,, Pres. '35. P. Bixby A rock-bound Yankee, we suspect that Bixby is still wait- ing for a Whig revival, and if you ask him about it he can tell you exactly Why. Although no Babe Ruth, Arthur has given four years of unfailing service to the ball team, and his place will be hard to fill when he leaves. He is a careful, conserva- tive thinker Who can stick to a thing 'till it's done. Mohawks '32-'34, Vice-President '3-4: Baseball '32-'35: Soccer '32: Manager Hockey '34: M. A. A. Board '3-l: M, S. C.

Deeply interested in con- temporary art and literature, he often points his comments with inimitable wit to the enjoyment of us all. The weather and the government conspired to destroy the Western Wheat fields, Burnsey, but it'll take more than a drought to affect your crop of oats! Mohawks: Soccer '34: Coach of Hockey '35: SAX Staff. ce Callanan Quiet as she was we appreciated her subtle humor. In Whatever Grace attempted, her stick-to-it-iveness was admired by us all. Grace's high scholastic standing will surely give her a seat among the learned. Geography Club '32, '33, l25l

John Cogoli John Cogoli is a big man and no part of him is out of proportion. It takes an oversized shoe to cover his foot, an oversized hat to cover his brains and an over-sized coat to hold his good-Will. I-le is undoubtedly built to do big things, and Whatever tries to stop him had better look out for its health. Dramatic Club '34: Glee Club '32, '33, '34, '35: Typo- graphical Society, President. Agnes T. Conlon Ag is the cheerful and carefree member of the Clinton Triumvirate-nothing ever spoils her good nature. Noon hour in the library the students get service with a smile from Agnes. We are confident that she will go places in her field capably armed as she is with its essential qualifications. John Connors Charles Serious minded, staunch and dependable, you can't look at John Connors Without knowing that he means What he says, and, what's more, that he can back it up. Red says that he can't be certain of getting a teaching job, but he's mighty sure that he'll have some kind of a job, and his friends are sure that the man who employs him will be lucky. Glee Club '32: Gaveleer '32-'3-4: President M. S. A. '34: President Dorm Council '34-3 Baseball '33, '34, L. Corkum Charlie is a man who goes his Way without an aye, yes, or no to any one. Luckily his way is usually the right way, but right or Wrong, he can give a good reason for it. Accord- ing to Hoover, rugged individualism made America's fortune, and here's hoping that it will do the same for Charlie, Mohawksg Soccer '33, '35, l27l
