I? ft M -THE 1192(0» (Elasa Jfutun' There are many things in this world which one can have to do. The one thing we all have is a future, but what a blessing it is that we do not know what it has in store for us. Some people are able, or try, to tell what posi- tion others will attain at some pre-determined time. We are far from this type of person, but the task of fortelling the position each of the members of the graduating class will attain at some future time has been delegated to us. If you can stretch your imagination we will try to portray the activities of each member of the class ten years from now. Berg, while with the Electric Co., discovered what characteristics of a series motor makes bad car service. Due to this discovery he has advanced rapidly until he is head of the Consolidated Good Car Service Co., of Morris, Minn. We find Curtis diligently seeking happiness as a high army officer in the signal corps, gained from the successful completion of his work in the R. O. T. C., and his discovery that the permeability of a coherer in an A. C. tele- phone is other than zero. Dopkc has distinguished himself by his work on motor controllers, and was recently placed in charge of the-Cutler Hammer Co. engineering depart- ment. One of his many achievements was the invention of the automatic dimmer for theaters. Its operation depends on the arc-over capacity of a pyroelectric conductor at luminous heat. Gordon abandoned his practice of catching four o’clock owls at 31st and State Sts., and is now engaged as chief illuminating engineer of the Vaughn and Meyer corporation. One of his great achievements was the elimination of lighting units from the front of residences. Hamlin is now chief engineer of the electrical department of the Good- year Rubber Co. He is generally known as “The Tire Man,” this is due to his successful method of converting old automobile tires into new ones by the application of “fixated” atmospheric nitrogen to the fiber of the material. Johnson has become quite an authority on law. lie will readily furnish expert testimony involving automobile rides, his inspirations for the study having been instigated through his keen interest at a recent trial. We see Manahan at the blackboard of the mechanics department at Cor- nell proving the theory evolved by him, that the moment of inertia of a hyperbolic prabaloid rotating in the fourth dimension is equal to the radius of gyration of a rain drop in October. After receiving his “B. S.” diploma Maiers attained proficiency as a professor in the School of Engineering. We sec him bawling out a class of recalcitrant freshmen for failing to understand the difference between a sine curve and the simple harmonic motion. Loux is block manager of the power and mining division of the General Electric Co. with headquarters at Hibbing. Minn. He has discovered an clectroputic process of extracting the pure metal from the earth, using the north pole as a balancing electrode. Page Forty

He also receives large royalties for the use of his patents on PRACTICAL household utensils. Pettingill has discovered that a supernatent electrolyte when placed in a storage battery will not affect the instability of a Hudson Super-Six after it has reached the velocity of 67.3 miles per hour. This invention has brought great fortune to the young man, and he now has a palatial residence on Broad Street in Menasha. Van Susteren is now a brilliant light as switchboard engineer for the Westinghouse Co. Mis success is due principally to the invention of a device which automatically regulates the speed of a squirrel cage induction motor, by the action of a thermo couple which changes the resistance of the rotor bars. Koch is head of the extension division of the School of Engineering; is also a home-loving man. We were scarcely able to recognize him on the street the other day. He was in his Ford-Arrow, and the occupants of the car were apparently members of his immediate family, the relative number being correctly determined by the application of integral calculus, and in- tegrating between zero and infinity. Lovdale has just completed an extensive research on the effect of alcohol on the general efficiency of the human being. Due to the able presentation of his finding before congress, the dry act was just repealed, and the associa- tion of Brewers and Liquor Dealers have presented him with an appropriate Medal, and a recommendation to congress to place his bust in the Hall of Fame. Bocher’s general characteristics have led him to great success and fame as manager of the Good-Fellows Co-operative Association for the distribu- tion of wiring specialties. We also hear that his home life is very successful, superintended by an able and affectionate wife, without the use of a rolling pin. A startling headline in the sport edition of the Sunday paper led us to an investigation. S. of E. basketball quintet defeated the U. of 111. quintet by a score of 47 to 6. The result was accomplished by the able management of the athletic activities by Wieneke. Page Forly-tico
