O Those who declare ThaT Good Things come in small packages, leT us name ArTie Kling as a very large repudiaTion oT This saying. A graduaTe oT STuyvesanT l-ligh School when mosT oT us were sTill in knee panTs and grammar school, ArTie decided To go To The UniversiTy oT l-lard Knocks. When he was graduaTed aTTer Taking a Tive-year course, he became The proud possessor oT a degree in lvlasTer Bricklaying and Foremanship. UnmindTul oT his Iaurels, This young man Turned aside and deTermined To combine academic Technical knowledge wiTh a greaT Tund oT experience. l-low well ArTie succeeded in doing This has made hisTory in The Engineering School. l-lis meThod oT success was so disTincTive, so reTreshingly unconvenTional, Thaf he was chosen as The mosT original oT The class. l-low well ArTie deserves This honor can be aTTesTed by anyone and everyone oT his Teachers. l-lowever, These same Teachers, TogeTher wiTh everyone oT his classmaTes will whole-hearTedly endorse ArTie Tor whaT he isp a deep, inTelligenT sTudenT, a prodigious worker, a humorous and congenial companion, and The kindesT and mosT helpTul oT Triends.

I-le is possessed oT a keen analyTical mind and a Tinely drawn sense OT humor. Coupled wiTh These qualiTies The neT resulT is a genTleman. And by a genTleman we mean one in The classical signiTicance oT The Term. AT The presenT Time There is a sTrong Tendency To call everybody who wears a clean collar a genTleman. GenTlemen, sTep on your new shine in The subway cars and beaT old women To vacanT seaTs. We do noT apply The Term To Vin in This hackneyed sense. RaTher he is The Type oT genTleman who, when you have done him a Tavor, lies in waiT like a caT unTil he can pay you back. NOT osTenTaTiously, buT surely. l-le is The kind who doesn'T keep one waiTing on windy sTreeT corners Tor a TheaTre daTeg who doesn'T look aT a picTure oT your besT girl and say, Now l'll be Trank wiTh you. She may have a nice personaliTy, buT-Z. He is willing To concede ThaT a Tew people in This world have worThwhile ideas besides himselT, and is willing To lisTen To Them-a TraiT which sTamps him as almosT unique in The presenT day world oT horn-blowers. ww--4 I-,-.Y-ew-, ,, .
