WKSm - JOHN J. RYAN New Bedford, Mass. Chemistry Delta Kappa Phi Patrick is our favorite axis around which all class arguments flow. A rugged individualist , he stands for his point of view in face of all logical arguments to the contrary. Nevertheless, his disarming smile cultivates few enemies and countless friends. A star on the baseball diamond, he is known under the name of slugger . Baseball 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2; Sports Editor Fabricator. SIDNEY G. SMITH New Bedford, Mass. Chemistry Phi Psi Stands as one of our country ' s staunchest patriots, glory- ing in its military aspects. However, milder traits of character are paramount as evinced by his patience with tedious analytical procedures and unavoidable though negative results. Incidentally, he also has a lady-friend. Prom Committee 3. ZYGMUND E. SOJKA New Bedford, Mass. Mechanical Ziggie is a chap with a wide smile and a winning personality. A field representative of a well-known brush company, he will sell you anything from toothbrush to a vacuum cleaner. NATHANIEL STETSON New Bedford, Mass. Chemistry The harmony man of that incomparable ocarina duet combine of Izmirian and Stetson. Also flogs out a mean clarinet. Admittedly the A-l student of the class, his specialty is being able to work amid the general hubbub of a Friday afternoon in the lab. President 1; Treasurer 2; Dance Committee 2.

ROBERT A. POTTER New Bedford, Mass. General Bob was most certainly cut out to be a cartoonist. In addition to drawing caricatures of instructors and students, he always manages to liven up the class by his humorous asides and continual — humming? He is also very demo- cratic, and will seldom turn down an offer to share some- one else ' s lunch or homework. Dance Committee 1, 2, 3; Golf 2, 3; Art Editor Fabricator. FERDINAND W. PRYZBYLA New Bedford, Mass. Mechanical Easy to make friends with and a regular fellow, Fred is one who will succeed in his chosen field. He is a willing worker and an active participant in sports. His lack of stature did not in any way detract from his natural ability. Baseball 1, 2; Basketball 1, 2. ARNOLD F. RAMALHO New Bedford, Mass. Chemistry Delta Kappa Phi Smiling and affable, yet very sensible, Arnie im- mediately took up the lead in class and fraternal activi- ties. What is more important, he held it all the way through. He has a sort of competence about him that dispels any doubt as to his ability to successfully complete any task entrusted to him. President 3; Dance Committee 2. MITCHELL P. RIHBANY New Bedford, Mass. Mechanical Mike is the man about town of the Mechanical Course. His actions, while describing the adventures he often under- takes, are usually enjoyed by the entire class. 21 Fabricator, ' 38

STANLEY P. SWISZCZ New Bedford, Mass. Mechanical Tiny is quite a boy, standing well over 6 ' 6 . He is also the class strong man, and we think those nightly trips to the Y. M. C. A. must have helped. Possessed with a rare sense of dry humor and bubbling over with good nature, he is bound to be a big success. EUNICE C. SYLVIA Falmouth, Mass. Special From Cape Cod came Eunice to learn the ins and outs of the Textile business. Being the only girl in the class last year, she soon proved her ability to take wisecracks and return them in kind. A good sport, and a willing worker, Eunice should make a name for herself in the testing game. Secretary 1, 2; Dance Committee 1, 2. GEORGE A. TRIPP New Bedford, Mass. Mechanical A small package and full of vitality, he is persistently amusing with his drug store humor. George will be well remembered for lis constant winning of raffles con- ducted by none other than himself. flL ' W. FREDERICK A. WALKER New Bedford, Mass. Chemistry Delta Kappa Phi Fred expresses the modern competitive businessman of today, minus the competition. Sells candy and snacks as a sideline. Feels quite at ease with one eye in an organic book and the other on credit lists. Has become indispens- able on various committees because, HE HAS A CAR. Dance Committee 2, 3. 23 Fabricator, ' 38
