1920 X , NEW STUDENT SECRETARY COMES TO MILWAUKEE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Feeling the need of a Student Y. M. C. A. within the school, the students of the School of Engineering recently made a request to the Board of Di- rectors of the Milwaukee Association for a student secretary to help them to establish such an organization. The city association has been most fortunate in securing in the person of Frederick Foster Snow, a man who is ideally fitted for this work. Mr. Snow, after graduating in 1906 from the College of Music at Syracuse Uni- versity, spent two years of advanced study in Italy. Returning to this coun- try in 1909, he won a strong reputation as director of music in Boston, New York and Cumberland, Maryland. When the war broke out, Mr. Snow was called to Camp Custer where he served for six months as director of entertainment. Because of his splendid success in this work, he was sent early in 1918 to Italy to organize similar work for the Italian Armies. On his way, when about a day out of Holly- head, Wales, the Oransa on which he sailed, was torpedoed and sank in twelve minutes. Later he reached London and Paris, at the time when the air raids were at their height, finally arriving at Genoa, where the first three months were spent with the American army. For his valiant service during the Italian offensive on the Piave, Mr. Snow was awarded the Italian War Cross and was recommended for the Cavalicre Corona D’ltalia. He also received the personal commendation of the Minister of War. Since the Armistice, through his untiring energy and skillful organization, in spite of the unfavorable feeling toward America, he has won a strong place in the hearts of the Italian soldiers. In speaking of his success, one of the officers writes: “Mr. Snow’s relations with the army commands in all the posts of the Milan territory have been ideal. The programs he has brought to the army have been excelled by none in Italy and the response has been exceptional.” Another writes, “His faithful efforts in the Milan region for the past eighteen months especially stands out as one of the bright spots in the work of entertaining the soldiers.” Mr. Snow is a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.

3 y it «Wk •THE i02® E - —.—x T . lERrtrir Sparks The early history of Sparks is interesting. That history begins in the past .summer. You see there was a publication called Electroforce that was devoted to the school. It was a mixture of the Scientific American, the North American Review, the Boy’s Weekly, Mercury and the Christian Herald. The School of Engineering authorities held a meeting and decided to reduce its aims a little and change its form. In other words to make it over intb a little newspaper for the students of S. O. E. and let them run it. This was done. Students were elected from each class to be its editors and reporters. And then promptly vanished. Most of them were never heard from again. Captain John L. Gordon remained editor-in-chief. One day he put out an edition of three pages, saying the fourth page was blank because he didn’t receive copy enough to fill it. It worked. More than enough copy came in for the next issue and at this date, it looks as if Sparks might really have enough copy to go to press every issue on time. SHOCKS Mr. Kienth: “Have any of you ever dissolved stones or rocks?” Mr. Lea: “No, but I’ve made little ones out of big ones.” Mr. Mathews (in Eng. 5 Design) : development of cold heat.” ‘Scientists are now working on the Mr. Krotzcr (calling the roll) : “Mr. M.” M.: “Here!”' “Mr. N.” N: “Here!” Mr. Krotzer (trying to find his place) : Student in back row, just waking: “Here!!?” Hmm-mm.” Mr. Kartak: “If I were to stand here and push against this wall all day, what would you say about it?” Frank Renner: “I hate to tell you.” What does an “unstoppable” force do when you put your eye against it? Ask McCoy, he knows. Blink: “We need brains in this office, sir.” Gink: “I know you do. The business shows it.’ He: “You can’t stop a man from thinking!” She: “No, but the difficulty is to start him!” Page Four Hundred Twenty-four I
