There are in every class certain members whose true merits are seldom appreciated and who are consequently overlooked. lt is our aim in this brief space to let Bob know that his amazing radio knowledge and general scientific accomplishments are not unknown to this department. Good luck in Tech, Bob. THOMAS CARLISLE ROGERS March 14, 1922 1005 Cherry Lane, Westheld KTom',, M1005 Cornell Rifle Club 3, 4g Bridge 35 Dance Committee 3, 43 Chairman 4. Big Tom or Alice as he is sometimes referred to, is the Robert Taylor of the Senior Class, but has managed to keep his innocent outlook on life. Tom's work as Chairman of the Dance Committee has produced many successful dances, and his record is further abetted by outstanding work on the Rifle Team and Bridge Club. We hope that Tom stays just the way he is in Cornell next year. Page Twenty-nine

RICHARD PATERSON PORTER January 14-, 1923 Wildwood Lane, Summit nDick,,, Riccard0,, Princeton Tennis 3, 43 Captain 4, Stamp 3, Record Board 4-g Literary Club Glee Club 3, 4, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, Student Council 3, Depar- mcntal Honors 2. a'Never-a-dull-momenti' Porter is just about the finniest fellow in our class. He has a steady line of stuff that he has been giving to us all year through the medium of Q'Who's Vlfho and Whz1 s New? etc., and while it sounds very authentic and is beautifully written it is hard for us to bring ourselves to believe such stuff. Perhaps Dick's greatest claim to fame is the parties that have taken place during the last nine months at 50 Wfildwood. l know that yours truly will never forget one of them. Dick is a very versatile fellow, being equally proficient at dramatics, singing, and tennis playing. Even though we sometimes doubt the authenticity of g'Who7s Whow etc. we are perfectly confident that Dick will be able to bluff his way through life just as he has bluffed it through Pingry. ROBERT ALLEN RANKIN May 7, 1922 39 Yale Street, Maplewood uB0b , '4Red,,, 'cltankv Undecided Auto Mechanics Club 1, 2, Hobby Club 2, Navigation Club 3. Big, jovial 'aBed'7 has been a familiar sight 'round these here parts for some years now and his Buick Bombshell is a glorious sightfwhen you can see itl Another mechanically minded individ- ual gracing the roster of this year's class, Bob found time to appear as the Giant in the Christmas Pageant. May you retain your happy disposition through the years, Bob. Page Twenty-eight PIIXIGRY 4. ' 4. 4. 4. i fi- 4. +

HAMILTON DEAN SMITH, JR. January 24, 1923 231 Ocean Terrace, Dongan Hills, Staten Island 6'Smitty,', 6'Doc University of Maryland Rifle Team 3, 4, Captain 4, Glee Club 3, 4, Literary Club 4, Dra- matic Club 3, 4, Stage Crew 3, 4, Navigation Club 4. On a Monday morning when one hears uboy, you should hear about what I did over the week-end, one need only to turn around to see sailor-boy '6Smitty ploughing in from Mr. Diebolt's chariot anchored at the curb. Dean is one of the best Mbull-slingcrs the school has, but we must admit that we have wasted plenty of time listening to some of his stories. Doc however, has acquitted him- self very favorably as Vice-Commodore of the Navigation Club and as Captain of the Rifle Team. Both these things arc very important, but photography is seen as a rising star. We have yet to see any of the subjects, who, or should we say what, are they? Good luck in Maryland, Dean. RAYMOND FISKE SMITH, JR. May 22, 1923 33 Aberdeen Road, Elizabeth 6'Ruy,', Smiflyu Business Executive Committee 3, 4, Dance Committee 4, Camera Club 2, 3, Bridge Club 4. a'Smitty was very active last Winter in his job as Manager of thc Swimming Team, he did a good job, but he certainly did mess up his Chapel announcements. Stage fright, Ray? He is an ardent bridge player, and as hc was a member of the Dance Committee, an cven more ardent dancer. ltls a miracle that there is anything left of the girls! It hardly seems possible that so youthful a lad will be a businessman ncxt year, but we are sure that whatever he does, Ray will do well. Pa ge Thirty E Z C3 W -4 ++++++++'!'++'i'++'I'++++'!'
