Seret. 20; Spring Play, ‘19, ’20, ’21; Press Club, 20, '21; Section President, 18; Sport Editor Year Book; I’ Club, ’19, ’20; Pres. ’21. This Granny's a gay young athlete, With lots of his brains in his fect; With his indifferent chatter, He makes maidens’ hopes flatter Than a pancake rolled out on the street. GOLDBERG, MURRAY (Goldie) Cadets, 18, 19; Track, 20; Assistant Manager '20; Tech Life, '20; Tech Year Book, ’20; Cheer Leader, '20, '21. Here's Goldberg, who's our Spanish star, Renowned for such fame wide and far; His secret ambition (And this isn't fiction) Is to play on a Spanish guitar. GOLDSMITH, J. B. Honor Roll, 2 semesters; Spring Play, ’19, '20. J. B. Goldsmith, he’s the bird, Where'’r he is, can always be heard ; In Math he’s a star, And beats all by far; And of Spanish he knows every word.

Lieutenant Graham, that studious guy, Is tardy—we oft’ wonder why; Each excuse is so glib It sounds like a fib; But blackboards he'll serub by and by. GRIFFIN, MARIE ( Mae) Spring Play, ’17; Red Cross Play, 18; Sec. Presi- dent, 1 Semester; Tech Life Representative, 1 Semester; Glee Club, 5 Semesters. Mae's the vamp of the Senior class, Who chants baby stuff like this “ye-as”; She makes boys despair When they tell her “she’s there” ; For her heart is at West Point—alas!

EVERRITT, BABETTE (Babs) Hockey, 3 Semesters; Spring Play, ’19, ’20; Class as Secretary, 1 Semester; G. O. Secretary ’20. Bab Everritt’s a clever young maid; From the athletic sky she’ll ne’er fade; The G. O. has her name, She's already reached fame, And popular !—not half has been said. FISHER, WILMA ADELAIDE (Toots) Entered Seventh Semester. O here’s a fair maid, Adelaide ; In the South until lately she stayed; But now she is here And to some one quite dear, Her charms as a cook will ne’er fade. FRIEDLANDER, MARK P.

HIPSLEY, ALVIN (Hippy) Spring Play. ‘20; Spring Play, ’21. Oh “Hippy” can make quite a noise; In his classes he often annoys; He doesn’t care for girls, Their eyes, lips, or curls; But spends all his time with the boys, HOLMES, CLARENCE (Holmesy) Cadets, 17; Track, ‘17. We have here a young man named Holmes, Who never from duty far roams, Comes early to school And neer breaks a rule. And spends all his time reading tomes. JACKSON, FRANCES LOUISE Spring Play, 18, ‘19, : Thanksgiving Play, ‘13; Glee Club, ‘18, ‘1 Friendship Club, ‘18. “Do-re-mi-fa-sol,” she sang; The walls of the musie room rang; And they shivered and shook When our Frances took Her music exam. with a bang. IRANI, BOMAN B. Cadets, 2 years; Baseball, 2 years; Basket ball, ! year; Tennis, 2 years, This lad though so quiet, demure, Is a live Techite for sure; In math he's a shark, In musie a lark; We hope that his fame will endure.
