OW oTTen do we Think oT our college liTe vecause Through iT we have come in . conTacT wiTh an excepTional sTudenT, an ouTsTanding genTleman and a reliable Triend. Such are Three dominaTing qualiTies oT our EdiTor-in-ChieT. Sheamus came down To our midsT Trom The Tair ciTy oT Troy, N. Y. For Two years his raTher quiescenT disposiTion made him known To only a minoriTy oT The class. Then came The change. Toward The close oT The Sophomore year Sheamus sTepped INTO class poliTics and carried oTT a maioriTy oT auThoriTaTive posiTions. Hence his Wide and well deserved populariTy amongsT The Seniors and underclassmen. IT anyone is unable, as yeT, To undersrand his abiliTy To mainTain a smiling coun- lenamie during or aTTer The heaT oT an argumenT remember aTTer all The deTiniTion Oi a smarT poliTician. This was Jim's aTTiTude aT all Times so ThaT oTTen he was referred To as The man wiTh The ever ready smile and million dollar blush. l-Tis only iGLllT seems To be Taking his parTner Sullivan on TreguenT Trolley car rides To Yonkers, and eiUSif1g To give Moon a cerTain address.

Ambrose P. Q'lNleil, BS. in Arch. Amby New York CiTy Class PresidenT 43 ArchiTecTural SocieTy, PresidenT 4: AdverTising Manager. Quadrangle 4: Pen and Sword: DebaTing SocieTy: DramaTic SocieTy: lv1anhaTTaniTe. MBROSE O'NEll., perhaps beTTer known as Amby, is a sTudenT in The deparT- menT oT ArchiTecTure. BuT his many and varied acTiviTies have by no means been conTined To ThaT branch oT sTudies. VoTed class poliTician, he demonsTraTed his qualiTicaTion by geTTing himselT elecTed presidenT oT The Senior Class, a TeaT never beTore accomplished by an ArchiTecT. l-le was prominenT in The organizaTion oT The ArchiTecTural SocieTy and was subsequenTly elecTed presidenT oT ThaT associaTion. ScholasTically, Amby is up wiTh The besT oT Them, and can always be relied upon To give an answer or dispuTe af poinT. l-lis abiliTy as a speaker will insure his success should he decide To Tollow The TooTsTeps oT so many who have gone beTore him ouT oT The porTals oT lvlanhaTTan. l-le is, above all, Trank and honesT in his dealings wiTh his classmaTes and his Teachers: and his very Trankness adds To The esTeem in which his class holds him. We have our doubTs wheTher iT shall be in The Tield oT ArchiTecTure Amby will gain Tame, Tor he has a sTrong inclinaTion To poliTics, as we all know Trom The lasT Tew weeks oT our Junior year and again ThroughouT This year. We are conTidenT in predicTing success Tor Amby and as he goes Trom our midsT we wish him many happy reTurns. i . 5 . ' E H I77 l T
