james A. Hitchcock, jr., graduated from the Electricity Department in january, 1938. Upon graduation he was employed by the Paul XVendt Electric Co. He has been there ever since except for four years' service in the Twentyfninth U. S. Naval Construction Battalion during World War II - two years in the European theater and two years in the Pacific theater. He has worked as stock boy, estimator, journeyman electrician, and superintendent. His present pos' ition is supervisor of construction work and of estimating. Perhaps Mr. Hitchcock regards as his greatest achievement his recent winning of the hand of the boss's daughter. Mr. Rossi and other teachers remember him as a gentleman and as an outstanding, dependable student. A few months before his graduation from tne Automechanics Department in june, 1940, Elmer Mueller began his career in the automof tive field as a mechanic's helper with the Gruet Motor Car Co. As he wanted to specialize in engine tunefup and carburetor work, he attend' ed evening school classes at Hadley in order to qualify for the job he desired. In September, 1942, he entered the Armed Services and served as an aircraft inspector on Bf17 bombers for three and a half years. After his discharge from the Air Force in 1946 he returned to his former place of employment. Soon he had the job of inspecting repairs and diagnosing automobile troubles. Then he became foreman and now he is assistant service manager. Knowledge gained from experience and from continual study helps Mr. Mueller with his present duties, which are waiting on people, making estimates on ref pairs, and seeing that the proper methods are used in automobile maintainance. On the photo with Mr. Mueller is his brother, Lawrence, who is a member of the June, 1952, graduating class. Mrs. Turek, who was Helen Puzniak when she graduated from the Cafeteriaffearoom Depart' ment in 1936, started out in her chosen field with a job in the cafeteria of the Federal Reserve Bank. Miss Heitzeberg helped place Mrs. Turek in this job. According to Mrs. Turek the job was only temporary at first: but with the years she progressed through the various phases of cafe' teria work until she reached her present position as cook in the kitchen of the Federal Reserve Bank cafeteria. Mrs. Turek has enjoyed work' ing at the type of work for which she was eduf cated in the Cafeteriaffearoom Department.

RAY SUTTON ers that are dropped from a plane by para' chute. He has done hard facing with gas and arc, built up hoppers, conveyors and hammers in cane mills, built up and hard surfaced parts of commercial garbage grinders, wood hogs, and coal crushers. He has welded armor plate and has done acetylene cutting of steel plates, channel iron and Ifbeams, and he has done all his own layout work. At the time of this writ' ing Ray was on his way to a new position in the Armed Forces of America where without a doubt his welding experience will be of great value to his career. Ray has a brother, Louis Sutton, who will graduate with the June, 195 2. class. Following her graduation from the Stenography Department in January, 1950, Georgia Perhat started working full time at Desloge Hospital in the electroencephalography and radioisotopes laboratories, where she had been working on a halffday basis during her last semester at Hadley. Her duties were many and varied, including doing the electroencephographic tracings felecf GEORGIA PERHAT trical brain wave tracings, on patients, taking the reports of these tracings and typing them, taking case histories, plus the usual stenographic duties-dictation, typing, and filing. Although the work was very interesting, she became dis' satisfied with the salary after eight months. As she wanted to stay in the medical held, she jump' ed at the chance to become secretary to Dr. Robert Dean Woolsey, neurosurgeon. This inf teresting field of brain surgery becomes more fascinating and more satisfying to her day by day. She takes care of the doctor's corresponf dence and case records, his books and accounts, his appointments, and many other tasks. Several months ago Dr. Woolsey purchased an electro' encephalograph, and Georgia again started to do tracings on patients as she had done at the hos' pital. Now she is completely contented. Georgia's success could safely have been pref dicted from her record at Hadley. She was an outstanding student in all her classes, a member of the 70 Club, and an unusually rapid and ac' curate shorthand writer. Ciijf-if?
