■J'« M ... i -THE H p2(D EMF (0ur QUaaamaJpa As the name of our section indicates, we all have the feeling that we are “engineers-to-be.” Though we have not as yet figured in any vital engineer- ing problems, we have mastered (?) the nucleus upon which, our instructors tell us, nearly all electrical engineering projects are founded, viz., OHMS LAW. Karly in the first term we were ushered into the mysteries of the elusive little formula by the guiding hand of Prof. Brown. At that time we numbered a little over forty men, and. as a whole, our unity remained intact through- out the term. The beginning of our present term found a number of vacant scats, however, this being occasioned by such things as change of courses, “stiff” examinations and other causes and reasons best known to the ab- sentees. Dexter left “our happy home” to take up a course with the electricians; also a drafting course. We could not keep him busy enough with only an engineering course so he decided that rather than spend so much valuable time “loafing.” he would take up two courses. Success Deck!! Davis—“Oh, where is our wandering boy tonight?” He left us at holiday time and we fear he is snowed under up in the back woods somewhere. The only way we can explain not having received an “S. O. S.” from him is that his wave length is as short as he is. which fact would throw him out of tune with our receiving apparatus. Perhaps he will come back to us when it thaws out up there. Bigelow learned so much about engineering the first term that he applied for a job with T. M. E. R. L. Co. and got it—in a garage. Leslie O. Andrews decided that automobile ignition is the coming enter- prise with which he wished to link his future and changed his course accord- ingly. Good luck, L. O.. but beware of the “wiles” of high tension “mags.” Goochcr and Bclson are the “Wandering Jews” of our class. They were called upon to uphold S. O. E.’s. fame in the realms of basketball and as a result it was necessary to change their schedules. They are now seen, most any day. rushing wildly through the halls from “F” to “A” and thence to “B” etc. “Oh, when shall their weary souls find peace and rest?” Forbes was not satisfied with the rough and rocky path which we trod and he made a wide detour into other regions, saying that he would join us in Term III. Occasionally we hear his bits of humor wafting by and perhaps have a flitting vision of him tearing madly down the halls, but we have little chance to speak to him for as he says, “I’m too busy, boys, too busy just; now.” Hang to it. Harley, we’ll welcome you home in Term III. Hillston concluded, after a few months of electrical engineering life, that his future lay in the lumber industry and accordingly he “debarked” for Ore- gon where he will doubtless be found juggling the big pines when perchance one of our number strolls up there, a few years hence, for his health. Smalley was summoned home unexpectedly and we miss his broad smile in our midst. Wc also venture that Coach McCormack will miss him on the end when football training begins. We hope to see Smalley in school again at some not far distant date. Page One Hundred Sixty-seven
