ROBABLY fhe mosf appreciafed benefifs of a college educafion are fhe friend- ships formed during fhe undergraduafe years. Manhaffan's repufafion as a malcer of men has no beffer exponenf fhan fhe man whose infegrify is faulfless and whose loyalfy, fried and fried again, has never falfered. Such a man has Ray proven himself. During fhe four years of associafion wifh Ray fhere was never a fime when he was foo rushed wifh worlc fo lend a hand fo a fellow in difficulfy, nor was fhere ever a sporfing or social evenf which wenf wifhouf his supporf. Due fo his inifiafive fhe Transif Club was organized in our Sophomore year, and due fo his promofion and execufive abilify if has developed in fhree years from fen members and banlcrupfcy fo an organizafion of eighfy members and a subsfanfial freasury. During fhe Senior year, when infer-class sporfs were organized fhroughouf fhe college, Ray's parficipafion in fraclc, swimming and baslcefball broughf no liffle fame fo fhe Engineers. A furfher indicafion of his abilify is evinced in fhe Regisfrar's office where he has proven fhaf exfra-curricular acfivify need casf no shadow on scholasfic sfanding. lf is wifh fhe ufmosf sincerify fhaf we wish Ray fhe success due him, and when fhis has been affained fhere are few indeed who will have surpassed him. Good luclc, Ray, and remember your classmafes in your success. l83

Edward A. Planky, B.S. in E. Ed Wheeling, W. Va. Befa Sigma: Freshman Foofballq A. A. Represenfa- five 2, S. l. E. 3, Presidenf 43 Transif Club 2, 3, 4, K. D. C. 4, N. M. S. 3, 4. D hails from fhaf liffle fown fo fhe soufh known as Wheeling, Wesf Virginia, and as ifs unofficial publicify agenf, he has done much foward fhe educafion of fhe ignoranf. Affer lisfening fo him for four years, we are convinced fhaf fhere is nofhing in New York fhaf is nof af leasf egualed by Wheeling. ln spife of his good work, Ed has fallen down in one parficular merely because he has been foo modesf fo sef himself up as one of fhaf fown's home producfs. During his sfay af lvlanhaffan, he has become one of fhe mosf-liked sfudenfs. l-lis ever presenf smile and sincere friendliness has made him a welcome addifion fo a greaf many gafherings. l-lis abilify fo creafe a favorable impression and fo improve upon if wifh fime, coupled wifh fhe capacify for quick and accurafe fhinking, assures Ed of a successful career as an engineer. ln class Ed has proved himself an alerf sfudenf wifh buf one excepfion. This excepfion occurred during his Junior year when fhe room during fhe course of a cerfain lecfure proved fo be so warm fhaf Ed was reminded of his own sunny soufh and yielding fo Morpheus had his firsf norfhern siesfa. When Ed goes back fo Wheeling, he goes wifh fhe knowledge fhaf he is leaving behind a hosf of friends who will miss fhe charms which have made him so popular.
