Nof very opfimisfic, buf we can be guife cerfain he never admifs defeaf in an argumenf. Sfarfing as a sfudenf in fhe school of engineering he soon decided fhe arfs course fo be fhe besf guide for his vocafion. There can be nofhing buf success for one endowed wifh fhe characferisfics of Joe. For four years fhe never-ceasing effervescence of his wif and humor has made him loved by all. l-le was conspicuous by his wif during Professor Meelcs lecfures, which Joe never missed regardless of circumsfances. lf is guife hard for us fo forgef fhe greaf argumenf befween Joe and Professor Sweeney in Sophomore Social Science. Joe did remarkably well in explaining fhe benefifs of fhe war elephanfs used by l-lannibal. Yef even fo fhis day we all wonder if he were given credif for fhaf lengfhy recifafion. Well, fun is fun, and Joe abounds wifh if. Buf he also has a serious side. l-le is a pal fo all of us and a frue man. Loved by us all we feel a rush of sadness when we lcnow fhaf our daily confacf wifh him has ended. Some of us hope fo be in law school wifh you. We shall always remember you in your happy, smiling manner, a friend fo all, an enemy fo none. Whaf beffer could be said of any man? Good luck, Joe. ' rj iP 'Qg?

BOVE all fhings, Manhaffan fhe Maker of Men develops in her producfs a spirif of Ioyalfy and cooperafion rarely encounfered in fhis cynical age. In fhis regard, she received a head sfarf wifh Dick and fhe resulfs could nof help buf sfand ouf. In fhe Iaborafory or Iecfure room, while performing experimenfs or affer a fough sfruggle wifh daf ole debbilf' Sfrucfures, many a beleaguered classmafe has Iisfened grafefully as wifh characferisfic direcfness, he cleared up some poinf which fhe insfrucfor's more fechnical language Ieff obscure. Nor wifh fhis same need for a clear explanafion in view, would he hesifafe fo requesf of fhe professor explanafion of a sfafemenf beyond his own grasp. This spirif of Ioyalfy colored his four years of cross-counfry. From his firsf race, when as a Freshman he broughf in fhe winning score againsf fhe Fordham Frosh, fo his final bow as a Senior, he was wholehearfedly a feam man. We have no beffer way of iudging fhe fufure, says fhe proverb, fhan fhe pasf. On whaf has gone before, we expecf fo see Dick promofing somefhing new in fhe fufure. Perhaps if will be a radical deparfure from previous engineering pracfice: perhaps if will be nofhing more unusual fhan a new confracfing company. Af any rafe we're beffing on if already. . 1 215
