Three eventful and not-soon-to-be-for gotten years! Three years in which we suffered the tribulations of Neophytic verdancy, reveled in the wiles of Sophomore Inquisition, and gloried in the splendor of our hluniority. Let us turn back to the pages of our Freshman History. There we were at our first meeting-a blissfully, ignorant lot-homogeneous, but incoherent in our ideas. IV e effected a hurried organization, the best under the conditions, and prepared ourselves for conclusions with our second-year brothers. After a goodrdeal of sound advice from our overseers, the class of '28, we ventured cock-suredly forth with the false convictions of an indiscreet Don Quixote. The time and place is indelible in our memories-VVelcome Smoker Nite- Livingston Street! Vlfell, dear reader, did we win? WC,1'C not asking, we're telling you! The genial encounter was all over in nfteen minutes. But what an hectic quarter of an hour that was! It was an old fashioned fare-thee-well,', and let us say that when we gathered en masse in front of the Institute and gave the old Poly yell of victory, it was a big moment in small lives. In a more contrite. mood, we were sorry at having broken down this tradition, and accordingly resolved to atone for our rash actions by giving the Sophs the breaks H in Scraps. Wfe carried this plan out but, at the same time, gave a good account of ourselves. , . The Sophomore Smoker descended on us like an exam in Thermo and, when the marks were handed out, we were reduced to about our seventh harmonic. The other six harmonics of our flock were doing song-and-dance acts under special urge. Despite this humiliation, we managed, however, to oscillate feebly and one bright day, with characteristic freshman gusto, we pulled our Smoker. Yes-we did have a goodly crowd of sophomores present-the whole class in fact-but they weren't there at any R. S. V. P. of ours! Wvell, the year soon closed. Wfe were sadder but wiser. CURTAIN. Enter-Sophomore Year. The events of this year can be summed up in a few words. Our prowess in all things varied directly as the' fourth power of our Freshman denseness. We not only trimmed the yearlings soundly in Scraps, winning by a good margin, the football and basketball games, but we even had the pleasure of swamping them inthe Disc Rush. We also succeeded in firmly implanting the new Frosh Rules Tlziffy- five y z ' 1 ll l. yf. . r. i , . i i l i l 4 l l r 1 i l i U, l :l l I i i i r L i l l 5 i i if .. Ka I l , 1 li and with the eicception of a few recalcitrant and bellicose youths, we must say that the class regarded them with the proper spirit. VVS paid homage to their attitude in this matter by inviting a number of them to our smoker. 'Would you believe that they politely refused to accept the invitations even when we called for them at their own homes in private cars? But we werenlt going to be out-Alphonsed and Gastoned. No sirl NVe insisted on their coming! They reciprocated our kindness, when, abetted by the Sweethearts of '30 Qthe class of 'Z9j they stationed themselves in a veritable fortress somewhere in the wilds of Sheepshead Bay, and refused us admittance to their smoker. Wfe were deterred from what would have been a successful attack by a squad of husky cops, who tried to cuff us gently, hither and thither. To wipe out this insult, we turned out a basketball team that walked off with not only the frosh, but every other inter-class game. Our Sophomore Hop, like our Freshman Dance was a Xklowl It was put across in royal fashion and we were richer at the end, socially and financially. And now we draw the portals on the scenes of our second year and review the events of the past year. Whether there is actually a germ that infects one with the change of attitude in college as one passes from one year to the next, we cannot say, but unlike no other class that has gone before us, we returned after a substantial vacation, to probe the mysteries and whatnots of the junior year. Staid and dignified Juniors! VVe donned the toga of culture and wisdom. Class rivalry disappeared-benigmty reigned. Vtfe took our places, as our predecessors, in orienting the newcomers. It cannot be said that we did not lend our whole-hearted cooperation in incul- eating those things vvhich we thought best for their welfare. The XVelcome Smoker fracas was decreed against by the faculty, and we were robbed of the satisfaction of seeing our former rivals handed a drubbing. But those days are gone. Here we are, the recognized elite of the college. Wle have tried hard to make Polytechnic the greatest institution of its kind. XYe have given champions to every athletic -activity in the school. We have produced the mainstays of various clubs and societies. We have done all that we possibly could do to promulgate and encourage the true spirit of our college--the Poly spirit. We are all here for one primary purpose-Education. But in the getting of it let us remember. that there are other things as essential to us, and they are true inter- class spirit, true class spirit, and true Polytechnic spirit. May our record serve only to make our Alma Mater more resplendent by that which we have done than less glorious by that which we might have done.

We were no different. VVe entered upon the event with all the eagerness and joy that our dignified posi- tions would permit. The spirit of the occasion soon permeated everything and everyone and what dignity and reserve remained went tumbling by the wayside at the hearty hand-shakes and shoulder-thwacks of classmates, alumni, and faculty. Yes sir! No greater abundance of informality could have been crowded into that Astor Gallery, ii one had attempted to walk around with his coat off and call the profs by their first names. But beneath all this happiness and frivolity, there was ra deeper significance to the occasion-a signiiicance that was brought home to all of us only when the strains of Farewell Blues bewitched the atmosphere. We realized then, even in our ecstasy, that there had come and gone, the most memorable event in our college life. lt may b-e said that the Class of 1930 gave its all toward perpetuating the spirit and good will which Alma Mater so willingly entrusted to our juniority.

Perhaps the grin is the result of predominance over his classmates in the manly art of chess. A few moments of playing with Herman will convince almost anyone that he is powerless in the hands of a master. lncidentally, it might be interest- ing to know that Hoiman' is a first rate product of Fakenfs fifteen-lesson course in Chess Mastery. XYe must say that we know very little about Herman because he is an extremely quiet character. In fact, he is so quiet that we ean't devise any scandal to fit his case. Someone told us that he went out for the wrestling team but the story ended there. Perhaps a member of that bone-crushing outfit changed Herman and turned his mind back to the thoughts of pawns, bishops, and queens. :Xt any rate, Herman is a good chanq Far be it from him to embarrass you by asking you to lend him the homework.

Of course the inevitable always happens, and naturally he picks out Fab for a chum. That combination certainly would make any- one take notice. VVe think that Ralph has picked the wrong profession, though. He should be a politi- cian. He can argue and argue until every- body is blue in the face listening to him, and he can call people the worst names in the politest way we've ever heard yet. That is the reason why nobody can be on the outs with him. Otherwise, Ralph is very quiet and unob- trusive, and always minds his own business. VVhen he does his work is a mystery, be- cause he is always found reading newspapers Csomebody elselsj in the Gab Lab.

Pop! Pop, came an intermittent noise from the Poly rifle range. Then a scufhe, a yell, and the barrel of Dead-Eye Dick Beck's air pistol was bent into a knot. In fact it was so badly damaged one had to point it north when shooting west. The toy seems to be an appropriate one for its owner, we chal- lenge him to find the compression line of the air in the chamber. Dick is noted for his uncanny ability, or disability, to be the Hrst one to finish an exam. Whether, this early exit is due to a thorough or insufficient knowledge of the subject is decidedly shown when the results of the exam are announced. It seems that everyone chooses a side-kick when they come, to Poly and, as a result, we are often entertained by .the team of Beck and Abrams, the heavenly twins. The combination is unique in that one member is extremely quiet while the other is ultra- noisy. One guess is all that is required to pick out the noisy one. .HARRY D.

Friend Harry is the pride of our hearts, the only trouble is that 'applesauce is bad for the arteries. Here is one rehned. chemist who has actually stopped a certain English gentleman of the Junior class in a contest of words. Impossible as it may seem, Harry has a vocabulary limited only by the fact that his audience usually has not had enough experience to understand what he means. CDon't take us the Wrong way.D Of course his literary talents are not lim- ited to oratory. He is also a poet. Indeed, the English profs have often commented upon the poetic genius of this modern dis- ciple of Wordsworth. Seriously, Harry is a good boxer, so We have heard him say. The only thing is that he is bashful and never wants to show up his opponent. Would that there were more men like Harry, so that the girls in the vicinity would be kept busy and not disturb Poly's bachelors.

It was at this time he met Larry Perez, the enormous-at least he looked enormous opposite Jay- sophomore. The sprints were divided into three rounds. Every time Perez drew back his arm jay was on the canvas, and when the Sophomore stepped back lay popped up again. In this manner Jay put up such a magnificent defense that hardly a blow was struck. He managed to hold Larry's fist in his eye throughout the fight. ,lay has gone out for every sport. He has been a decided asset on the freshman foot- ball, track, and basketball teams. As a mat- ter of fact. the onlv activity at Poly that he dislikes is classwork.

He is the dean of the chemists, and the joy of the faculty, but to us he is the exemplihcation of something that is too good. To the instructors, he never replies, Unprepared, or I don't know, but Sorry, Prof., I'm afraid I can't help you out. It is really too sweet of him to be so considerate. Rumors have been circulating that C'arl has joined the Original Celtics. The rumor must be unfounded, for truly our friend could not consider lowering his dignity and prestige playing with such novices. Why even the Coach thinks he is too good for the Poly team. Many a time he has warmed the bench just to give someone else a chance. Let us give our moral support to Carl. He needs only the incentive and then he will soar to dizzy heights.

The demon advertising manager always has plenty of notorious schemes to make life what it shouldnlt be. One time he suggested that the ad of a night club be inserted into the columns of the Ref101'.'e1', so that the en- tire business staff could receive complimen- tary invitations to make whoopee.

C You all remember about that famous Eng- lishman, Edmund Burke, who made the no- torious speech on Reconciliation? Well, this isnlt he. The only speeches Ed ever made were those he delivered to various Profs in order not to be gently, but firmly, evicted from class. His oratory, then, Waxed very eloquent, and he gushed forth phrases from the bottom of his heart. VVhenever he's not lolling about in the VVorkshop, or in the Spicer Library, he may be seen up in the Chem Lab looking for things which he knows aren't there. Poor Ed even 'seems to have a hard time heating water without making it boil over. To make life more miserable he receives letters from some sweet young thing in Pennsylvania.

Frank and Sir Isaac Newton may know la little about the Theory of Fluxions but neither of them could ever win an argu- ment with Professor Berry. Debate comes natural to Frank. Something tells us he should have gone to the school across t street where all the lawyers are. Frank couldn't find anyone to argue with so, to work off surplus energy, he became a cheer leader. His leading would be per- fect if he knew the right motions and, m- cidentally. attended some of the games. In the Play Workshop, Frank is at home.

It has been said that the devil finds mischief for idle hands. But Arthur is al- ways busy-doing mischief. Artie was the terror of the sophom-ores when a fresh- man, and a nightmare to the freshman when a sophomore. We suspect that he has been terribly disappointed as a junior with no legitimate battle on his hands. However, Artie has kept a paternal eye on the year- lings and maybe that accounts for the young riots that have occurred hereabouts. On Mondays, in the middle of an involved discussion in class, Artie pulls you aside and proceeds to relate the many hair-raising and blood-curdling escapades that he and his trusty old roadster were through during the week-end. From all reports, his community must have a reputation rivalling that of Chi- cago. But Arthur maintains that his home town is the garden spot of the world. All of the adventures of this modern Don Quixote are alleged to have occurred in neighboring towns. Anyway, Artie certainly has civic pride. He must be either a Ro- tarian or a real estate agent.

Lou has another pet hobby when not officiating in the capacity of his offices. He tells us that he likes to tickle the violin.

Esplanade 7322 Here is a man who naturally exhibits con- siderable prominence in 'a crowd-not because of any unusual degree of forwardness but because of six feet and five inches of up- wardness. His consequent life in a higher plane may possibly attribute to his attitude of dominance and-shall we say high-head- edness, to be charitable. Though fresh from City College, Dick has quickly adjusted himself to his new con- genial surroundings, being a man of unusual humor and possessed of rare entertaining powers. It did not take us long to find this stranger from across the creek to be a gen- tleman bad man. Dick has a light-hearted attitude toward studies and the world in general, his only worries being the antics of his petrol auto- perambulator and-well, you may guess the rest, considering his manly attractive force. This careless spirit is further brought out by the gusto and vigor he evidences on his weekly hikes with the Poly 'Boy Scouts over the plains and hills of Long Island City. VVESLEY E.

You can easily tell he's a commuter too, by the woebegone expression he wears in the morning and by the way he tears through the Gab Lab knocking over chairs and tables. Nearly everyone has a hobby and we have found out that Wes is a bug on photogra- phy. He probably uses the numerous pic- tures of his collection for wallpaper. Well, anyway, whether he is a photographer or not, he has a bunch of contraptions home with which he likes to experiment. He uses dark shades too, but they can be used for other things besides photography-and we don't mean to keep the carpets from fading. Wes 'I spends most of his time at school in the Chem Lab.

VVe wonder if Dan has patterned himself according to the Boy Scout motto, Be prepared. At any rate, he's a good scout. He'll probably wear two or three slide rules out in the course of his college career. Dan seems to be quite a connoisseur of English literaure, to judge by what he reads most of the time. Rabelais' VVorks, Droll Stories, and other classics of this type are his favorites. He ought to be able to tell you the goed and bad points of every book in the English Library.

Has anyone ever seen Joe come to any class on time? It certainly is doubtful. He complains about train traffic and jams, but that doesn't excuse classes in the middle of the day. Joe means well, though, and he surely does take things seriously. He bustles around the Chem Lab with a look of seriousness on his face which almost approaches a daze. Joe doesn't wear both belt and suspenders, but he is a pessimist just the same, as you can tell by looking at his key-ring. Can you imagine anyone carrying a shoehorn on his key-ring? Yes, that's just what he does, poor, fellow. He surely can't imagine that his clothes might be too tight for him. What clothes could be tight for him? We guess anyone inclined will have to see Joe himself for an explanation. Despite the fact that Toe is pessimistic in some respects. he is of that type that never worries. He'll leave a potful of some high explosive cooking up in the Chem Lab and then either forget to return or iust disre- gard the matter entirely. The only catch in it is that he has to do the experiment all over because the walls of the lab are very, very strong. , l 'af CHARLES FIELDS Electrical E1lgl7lCU7'l7Zgl A Jamaica High School A.l.E.E. 21.6-19 lllth Ave., Queens Village, L.

Many of us have tried to provoke Dick into mirth but our best witticisms and taunts fail to move him. The only time that Dick speaks is when he must ask some poor prof a question and once he gets started down in the Mech Lab, he goes through the proverb- ial thousand and two without pausing for breath. It has been said that a fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer. But Dick is nobody's fool. There's method in his madnessf, Cer- tainly, that saves him from answering any questions that the prof may ask. If you look at Dick's pedigree above, you'11 find that he's trying to become a mechanical engineer. VVe have little doubt that he woi 't 1 succeed.

He blushed coquettishly and romped off, but absent-mindedly neg- lected to leave the saw.

Fred is one of our real studious juniors. Unlike most of his classmates he works once in a while. Wherever we see Fred he has a wistful look on his face. We suspect, of course, that he is trying to solve one of those mental problems in analytic mechanics. How- ever, the worst thing we can say about Fred is that he has a level head on his shoulders. ln spite of his handicap as a model stu- dent Fred is pretty generous when it comes to helping out his classmates. Many a time we have seen him giving somebody help in Calc, Thermo, or what have you. Freddy hopes to become a civil engineer some day and we have every reason to sus- pect that his dreams will come true. Some day, perhaps, when we ride over a massive bridge we'll say, This is the bridge that Freddy built. But we think that Freddy should give up trying to become a civil because he knows a lot more about Economics and Finance. Freddy is probably the only one that takes the assignments in Economies seriously. F ifty-three i I , Trroxms F.

VVe don't know where he gets his patience from, because he is a 4' baggage smasheru for an express company, and if there is any- thing that one of those fellows hasnlt, it's patience. It was probably doing such work that taught him how to drop things, because once in a while he drops a few beakers in the Chem Lab. However, he learned the difference between trunks and glass in a hurry. Tom is the boy who frequently may be found in the neighborhood theatres while his lab partner is doing his work. VVe won- der why Tom didn't go to Hollywood. Per- haps his shyness is keeping him back from a stellar career. Nevertheless, he could have made a good dramatic critic for one of the tabloids, for beside being bashful this type of critics always selects the spiciest of litera- ture to read. Fifiy-four JAMES B.

No, Jim performed both of these feats during the course of one summer vacation in his native land, Rockaway. We can assure you, however, the information was ultra-worthless.

By his ambling gait may ye know him. Un- doubtedly there are times when Herb has a class to occupy his time, but for the most part, he busies himself by shufliing through the hallways of the Institute greeting one and all with a cheery countenance. Perhaps walking developed as his favorite sport while he was encamped in the C.M.T.C. outfit at Plattsburgh. We are sure that after several years there, our Herb is now a potential corporal in the U. S. Army. Another item to be remembered about Herb is that, as a Sophomore he was ap- pointed chief trainer of misguided Freshmen and headman of the enforcement committee on Freshman Rules. His unfailing presence at basketball games and wrestling matches was a bane to the absent frosh. The com- bination of Freshman Rules and the enforce- ment thereof were a stimulus to class spirit at Poly. No doubt, they were a stimulus to Herb too judging by his happy perform- ance of his duties.

The most characteristic thing that we can say of Bill Hamma is th'at he is always seen in the company of Mason and Doran-three inseparable, or irreparables, or whatever may suit the occasion. Never was there such conformity of opinion seen as in this trium- virate, notwithstanding the unceasing argu- ments that occur with our subject acting as judge and intermediary. When Bill entered his newest realm of learning he was a rad- ical and bitter scoffer of poetry and litera- ture in general. But lo and behold, he is now a fervent upholder of the ancient ban- ners, having seen the shaded light of tradi- tion and age-ripened common sense. VVould that other radicals had such clear visions! Let our hero be an example to all aspiring engineers Cthis particularly includes Fresh- menj in the demonstration by his life that hard plugging, continuous grinding, and- er-a certain amount of diplomacy are the keys of the gateways to success.

You can usually Find him in the Gas Lab discussing railroad curves Cyes, we're sure they are railroad curvesj with his fellow sufferers. If he isn't doing that he's carrying some field apparatus. Johnny is also the silent partner in the firm of Kennedy, Hollender, Hansen and MacNamara, the four musketeers of the Civil Engineering Department. This position has earned for Mr. Hansen the enviable soubriquet of The Silent Swede. Perhaps his classmates hope that Whereas Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic, Hansen will build a bridge and walk across it. One thing we have never found out about John is how he does his homework. We never see him grubbing, so we concede the obvious that he does it himself, which, by the way, is a very creditable thing for a junior. ROGER W.

He holds the distance and endurance records for this sport. He is the chief guard of the stairs going up to the Lab, too, and woe unto any alien who dares to enter those portals. Way, way, deep down in the soles of his feet, though, Roger is a kind and loving boy. What else would prompt him to play the organ? But we think he is on the wrong track.

If Bill were inquisitive, the tabloids would readily induce him to become an Inquiring Photographer. But as the other member of Muniz and Heyse, photographers by appo-int- ment to the Polytechnic, he has no time to train himself to be a human ferret, so the student body is spared much embarrassment. Bill has a great big car at his disposal and in his spare time he maneuvers his way to a far off corner of the earth or possibly, the Bronx, to photograph na.ture in the rough. It has never been ascertained whether his camera catches any woodland nymphs, be- cause the bulletin board displays only bab- bling brooks. The young man in question is so modest and unassuming that it has been difficult to dig up any scandal in which he is involved. Nevertheless his camera may reveal some of the hidden secrets.

Un- fortunately, at the time the above photograph was taken, Bill had taken a notion to renew the crop, so we must be content to view the champion during an intermission. However, he does not spend all of his spare time coaxing the epidermal outgrowth, because there are more arduous pursuits-he usually tells us all about them on Monday, just to give us an inspiration for the day's work. Theres that little one from South Caro- lina now- Wihen we say that Bill is a conscientious student, we really mean it. He is one of that species who always get the homework done-of course, it's not always original, but nevertheless, it's homework, And to top it all Bill is very serious in his intentions to become an engineer.

Considering Mr. Mason's characteristic habits we are reminded of the old admoni- tion concerning quiet waters. Sixty-fivfe i l g l SAMUEL VV.

As an artist, athlete, and arithinetician, Sam cuts one of the biggest figures at Poly. For an example of his art, lend him a text for 'an hour and a week later he will return it to you, a beautiful lithographed volume containing an autograph and everything. After competing in most every interclass contest that was held, Sam started after a berth in the varsity wrestling squad, but to go on we must say that the only reason that Sam did not become one of the foremost wrestlers was because of his dislike for vege- tables. Instead of getting a decision in his initial match he was rewarded with a beau- tiful cauliflower ear. In order to preserve his beauty he wisely gave up wrestling for basketball and Calculus. He easily scored a fall in the latter and the dazed Mathematics Department handed an A to the even more stupehed Mr. Max. He has recovered from the shock, however, and promises to become a normal student. Si.rIy-six XY ALTER E. MCCULLY Electrical E7'lgi1Z667'i7Zg Case Institute A.I.E.E. ll0 East Seaman Ave., Freeport, L. I. Mac left Case Institute in Cleveland and came to Poly to try his luck. He merely encourages us to believe that fools walk in where angels fear to tread. In order to help build up a Polytechnic debat- ing team, Mac dragged another member of Case along with him, this is no less a person than Bloch, the great economist. Nevertheless, with all his faults, we wel- come any man who likes to argue with Prof. Berry on problems in analytic mechanics. Still further, we welcome his multitude of foolish questions. At the time of this writ- ing his latest bit of good cheer was to ask whether a wood beam, used as a lever, would break if too much force was applied. The answer to this question has been justly cen- sored. One of this youngster's good points is basketball. Even though it did not help him pass every Thermo quiz, it helped the Juniors win the Interclass Basketball Cham- pionship for the second consecutive time. His shooting in the Junior-Frosh game was on a par with that of Jesse james. ..E. ..

As a civil engineer Mac is a wow. He can tell yo-u how to survey your back yard or build a suspension bridge from the garage to the attic' window. If you ask him to whom he attributes his success, tears will start to run down his rosy cheeks and he will softly cry, My confederates, Messrs. Kennedy, I-Lollender, and Hansen. We have often suspected that Mac was sentimental, but we were never sure of it. At least he is unique in that he never comes around with the usual hard luck story and never tries to borrow an overcoat or slide rule. When that new addition was made to the Mechanical Library, Mac suddenly thought of becoming a mechanical engineer. If one of the profs in the civil department gets a secretary, Mac will be glad to remain a civil. At any rate, Mac is a good skate, but skates wear out when used at a very fast rate. Of course we're not insinuating that Mac is very fast, but he sets a good pace. HAROLD MEYER Civil Eiigiiieeifiiig Boys' High School A.S.C.E. 1213-78th St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Beachview 7904 Numerals CZD. This brave youth left school after his sophomore year to try his hand in the busi- ness world. By his good work and persist- ency he became a union assistant boiler maker. After making a living wage for a year he decided -to come back and complete his education. Perhaps to improve his earn- ing capacity, but he is greatly mistaken, judging from hearsay, for the engineer is underrated in financial matters. He must rarely do his homework, for like most Poly men he is always early for his Hrst class. He must be, since it is the only chance he has of doing or getting the home- work. Therefore, by natural deduction, study must not be in his vocabulary. De- ducing further, there is no fear of forcing a diploma on him. He attends many of our home games, never bringing anyone to describe the game to. Why should lie, when his friend will bring her. S Si.rl,v-5071011 MAURO T. MIGUEL Civil E11gi1z.ee1'fi11g I. Norte Prov. High School, Phil. ls. A.S.C.E. 349 Pacific St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Mig is a native of the Philippine Islands, that land of wine, women and song. He left a veritable heaven and came to Poly. Anyway, Mig has learned to work-a lit- tle. He aspires to be a civil engineer. The rumor here is that the civils don't do any work. Maybe th:at's why Mauro aspires to the civil engineering degree. It was hard on the rest of the civils when 'iMig decided to go to school at night. Mig knew they couldn't get along without him, so back he came to the day session. Our candid opinion is that Mig couldn't do any work while the moon was shining. A lovely moon always brings back pleasant memories. VVhen we come to elucidating on the social career of our subject, we are stumped. VVe couldn't afford the money for a trip to the sun-kissed isles in the Pacific, and Mauro is so quiet and unassuming, so we couldn't dig up any scandal. All we can say is that still water runs deep and that perhaps there may be mud on the bottom.

In our walks of life we sometimes en- counter people who personify certain states or inanimate conditions. Such a person is Dick Minetti. He is a perfect human speci- men of solemnity. We have never known Dick to laugh out- right, but have seen his face brighten up in humorous instances, though without loss of dignity. The same is true of the reverse con- dition. We have never witnessed a loss of self-possession in Dick when he had good cause Cif one may be allowed anyl to be angry. Dick's face is rather congealed into an expression of faffability and placidness thereby differentiating the character of his physiognomy from that of the famous Buster Keaton. It app-ears that Richard has thus far es- caped the nervous strain that accompanies ta technical education, as indicated by his boundless patience and immobility, and un- like the rest of us his speech is slow, delib- erate. and calm-very unusual qualities to be found among struggling engineers.

It may have been old boy Caesar who said, Veni, Vidi, Vici, but it remained for Frank Mullen to show how it was done. We were going to say that this human dynamo is as busy as a o-ne-armed collitch boy at a necking fracas. But that wouldn't half describe it. We should say as busy as A1 Stilz entering into a little side cooperation with Eddie Osterland during an exam. During the Hrst few weeks of his junior year Frank was nowhere to be found in his off-hours. We were curious and trailed him one day to the DLC. Lab where we saw him practicing leap-s and jumps from various Hoor positions around the dynamos to the main switches. This was only a little pre- caution on Frank's part, should one of his partners some time cause the machine to change its tune from medium pitch to one that would seem to say, If you have feet, prepare to use them now.

Want to buy a camera ? is the favorite greeting that Ricardo uses. VVhereupon he begins to expound upon the intrinsic value o-f said camera, its ability to withstand rough usage, etc., and finally ends up asking an exorbitant price for it. Many a time Ricardo calls down upon himself the wrath of his laboratory classmates, for always, at the end of a lecture, the Prof is sure to praise Dick's works, showing the neat arrangement and the beautiful pictures of the apparatus that are included in the report. After a lab ex- periment Dick is seen busily contemplating his camera angles for a suitable picture. Dick's other pet hobby is to burst out in a loud, penetr'ating spasm of laughter when some bored student has just settled com- fortably in a chair and is meditating upon the probability of having to recite the day's lesson. Of course, Dick does not do it pur- posely but it is so annoying to one who is having pleasant dreams of after-class activ- ities. Si,1'fy-lLl7lC' T1-forms V.

Tom must have been born in China, where everything is begun 'at the end and ended at the beginning. Tom came to Poly about three years ago and took those subjects taught to Juniors and Seniors only. After three years of hard study, Tom is taking his Freshman subjects. Perhaps, if he keeps up this way he will eventually land in the came class as his future grandchildren. Tom has a pet hobby. When not engrossed in the manly art of bridge playing, he is rid- ing around in a dilapidated chariot which may be identihed as a roadster. VVe have observed that Tom's gas buggy never fails to break down in the vicinity of Broad Channel, L. 1. Tom has started an innova- tion in starting cars.

A casual visitor to the lab will wonder what the real purpose of the place is when it appears that the greatest goal of these chemists is to manufacture a nozzle that will produce the greatest effect at the greatest distance. Kidding aside, however, johnny is a great fellow in the water. He managed to slip into- a soft job as swimming councilor in la camp last summer and we hope no casualties resulted in his share of pupils. Besides swimming, Iohn's favorite sport is twirling an artistic pencil during an exam or a lecture, and the results of his labor must assuredly be startling to the Prof who checks his papers.

Nevertheless, in all he does, Bob is so bash- ful and modest that we really believe he looks under the bed before retiring at night to see thatno one will disturb the peace of his slumber.

'When this happens, keep on the right side o-f Frank, men, and you will get a close view of easy money and pay-roll padding, or, as Prof. Pollay would say, You will go dipping in the pork barrel. Furthermore, should the bridge crash, Frank is the kind of a fellow who would snap his fingers and say, Dammit, I thought all along that there were a few loose decimal points somewhere.

For an analysis of this gentleman, we will start by saying that he has an exceedingly rare habit of doing his homework and notes on the day assigned. His work is as ac- curate as it is rare. Another of his char- acteristics is to brag about not knowing a course. We all are of the same opinion but we never advertise-no, the profs might hear us. Berny is a civil and therefore takes those trips to the mud holes of Long Island City where a futile attempt is made to sur- vey and remap the surrounding country. It is only when Berny unsuspectingly steps into a young lake that he becomes good-natured- at all other times, he's as sore as blazes. His poor partners must have a grand time trying to argue with Berny because he's an- other of those that were intended to be law- yers but never realized it until they became enmeshed in the intricasies of engineering. This young man has many idiosyncrasies. Among them is his dislike for the opposite sex. A rare case indeed. In fact, we think he's giving us the proverbial non-stop sleigh- ride. Berny claims that they are too ex- pensive. He knows as well as we, that this commodity, luxury, or nuisance is available for all sizes of pocketbooks. Swefziy-j'ive H s JXNTIIONY J.

Wheii the Four Mulemen held sway in our fresh- man and sophomore years, Santa was alleged to have been the brawn, and part of the brains of the notorious crew. To look at this serious and dignified junior wending his weary way about the Institute, no one would think that he was involved in those atrocities committed to uphold the prestige of the class. Nor would one sus- pect that he was an athlete of note. Yes, Santa holds enviable records in boxing, wrestling, running, pinochle playing and maybe ping ponging. If Santa retains the dignity and poise he now possesses and doesn't condescend to speak to nothing less than a junior, he is sure to impress the profs and attain his end. CEd.

The gentle youth pictured herewith may not look like a football hero nor even a. baseball player. But looks, just like blondes, are deceitful because jim is a crackerjack. Well, anyway, a question mark should ac- company the picture above-not because he is a what is it 'i but because he's one of those quiet chaps whose activities outside of school have never been brought to the atten- tion of the P. D. S. CPoly Dirt Slingersj, a capable lot of gossips who infest the gab lab, and therefore he still remains a mystery. However, there is one thing that he can't hide from us and that is that he is a good student. You know, the kind that doesn't study on Sunday because it's a holiday and doesn't study on week days because they would rather study on Sunday. Unlike all musicians Csaxaphone players includedj. jim has never boasted of his accomplishments with the ivories. No, not that kind. Only recently we discovered that Tim is a piano player. i GORDON SAUERBRUN Electrical E11,ginee1fi1zg jamaica High School A.I.E.E. 9222-177th St., Jamaica, L. I.

As soon as he hit the portals of the Institute he landed a job in the Registrar's office. We still wonder whether he accomplishes any work amid such surroundings. Maybe it is the charac- ter of 'his work that' calls for the fancy cigarettes which he smokes. Boy, how he enjoys them !-no, not the cigarettes. During the summer months this Noo Yawker tramped the wilds of Long Island in the employ of a civil engineer. Sure, he knows how to carry a transit. We have already noticed the growing tendency for electricals to swing to the CE. course, but fortunately Gordon can't because he hasn't the high shoes or the fancy knickers. Hailing from Queens is not so bad, Gor- don, but it is not considered good etiquette to drag along such a personage as Charlie Fields.

The expression of peaceful calm which you see above is hardly a mirror of the person beneath. Smitty was once one of the most courageous leaders of the class. Yes, 'way back when we were freshmen, he distinguished himself, along with three other gallants, by being in the front line of battle always. We can picture him many years from now with a snowy white beard telling of his adventures in front of the New York Public Library where he and the rest of that once famous quartet held the sopho- more class at bay. But those days are gone forever and now there isn't any scrap to take the dull monotony out of his routine- because he is a junior now. A marvelous change has come over Smitty now, and we dread the possibility of he and his counterpart, Santa, getting their de- grees all too soon. An explanation for this unseemingly quiet behavior has been sought but as yet we are still at sea and all wet. Perhaps, the vision of the coveted sheepskin has brought about the change. And still,. it may be that some esthetic influence-but that's another story. Seveulj'-nizzc l ALBERT F. SNYDER Civ-il E1zgi1zee1'fi1zg Bushwick High School A.S.C.E- 263 Covert St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Jefferson 3132-I Al has the distinction of being the only Poly student to have toured the world in a freight car. Many times he has amused his fellow Juniors by relating his experiences while riding through Turkey in a box car. Apropos of this, Al has just finished his latest best seller for engineers H103 Arabian Nights. Al's one weakness is the.Profs. He thinks so much of them that every morning he pre- sents each one with a large, juicy red apple- full of worms. However, Al gives ihe gen- tlemen of the facultv the honor of having him in their class quite frequently. We donit want to give the impression that he doesn't go to classes. Horrors! No! He does attend classes very often, sometimes as much as twice a week. He is a very likeable fellow and a genius for giving alibis, two qualities indispensable to a Junior. Eiglzfy ALBERT A.

Introducing the r-emaining attraction in that light-hearted trio, the Poly Rhythm Boys. Al's appropriate moans and the sweet chords he extracts from that banjo are simply the soul-filling items necessary to per- fection. Incidentally, he can play almost anything with strings. We have never seen him with a violin, but we think that he is just bashfully hiding another accomplishment from us. It is not unusual for Al to sud- denly decide to draw music from some in- strument, witness his study of the saxophone. In three months he was ready to step in the limelight in case Rudy Wiedoft suffered a stroke. Somehow, we suspect that Al intends to become a movie actor, else why should he secretly, in the dark, make so many attempts on the reputation of john Gilbert. In spite of these proclivities, however, he continues to knock off some amazing marks in Thermo, etc., so that he certainly can't be wasting his time. At any rate it's great to be able to take care of so many things at one time. ANTHONY D. TAURIELLO Electrical Ezzgiizeerfilfzg Deiyitt Clinton High School A.I.E.E. 443 Wlest 37th St., New York City According to Tony, the reason why he chose Electrical Engineering for his course of study was because he felt that he had the makings of a Steinmetz or an Edison. We have heard of people being frank, but Tony wins the diamond-studded slipstick. If Tony keeps that idea in mind, perhaps he will amount to something. Tony may be found any day during lunch hour munching loudly on a bar of choco- lfate while trying to convince someone of some flaw in his derivations in Calculus. It is greatly amusing to watch this little dynamo at work over a difficult problem. The only hint we have of his success is a raucus laugh which can be heard reverber- ating throughout the building. Anyone that laughs at any degree of success in Poly must be truly a remarkable fellow. G.

Just gaze upon the features of our be- loved classmate. Would you believe that beneath that cynical smile there slumbers the soul of an active man? Of course not, neither would we. But facts are facts an we must have them. Iuul may be seen any day, a little active dynamo, running around the Gab Lab disturbing every one in gen- eral asking for the Thermo homework. l he receives a pleasant answer. well you know how it is. If the reply should be in the negative, Juul vents his feeling by a decided damn and other rather efifcminate ex- pressions. Wfhen not engaged in the occupation of trying to keep from doing anything Iuul may be seen in the company of our dimpled classmate Ido or some other poor wayward man who may be unfortunate enough to tolerate him. Juul, by the way, is an ex- pert on the opposite sex. To us he is the Beatrice Fairfax of the Institute, always giving good advice to the potential sheiks of Poly. Eiglzfy-one W T... HARRY E. THORNTON, AXP Mechanical Engineering Villanova College A.S.M.E. Box 813, South Plainfield, N. In September, 1928, there entered Poly none other than Harry Clausius Carnot Rankine Feed Pump Thornberify. With brief case suspended from his right shoul- der, thermometer and pressure gauges in hand, he entered the Registrar's office and cried out, Habum Gabum, I, Thornberry, am here in search of the ever-elusive B. T. U. But the Registrar was used to this sort of thing and, without losing any time, cautiously led him to the Thermo class where he afterwards found himself at home with the rest of Brooklyn's half-wits. Ever since Harry came from Villanova, he has sent us all into fits of envy by telling us how the undergraduates there lead a life of leisure. We wonder why he ever left that veritable Paradise. Maybe it was the lure of the Big City or perhaps a little blonde. That's another story. We wish to say, though, for those who are inquisitive, that Harry is really studious and conscientious. Whenever he is not in class, he is either studying or doing written homework. But who knows, he may con- sider himself in class all the time. Eighty-two l 5 JOHN A.

Mencken, Nathan, Macy, and other critics had better watch out for this chap. He is the unexpurgated edition of modern jour- nalism. If you want to know what is really good Cwe don't mean what you think we meanb in modern literature, he can direct you to the most educational, and well written passages of the latest fiction. Anything that gets by him is really below the notice of Poly students. They must have their litera- ture condensed in ready form for real enjoy- ment. 9 john is also .a scientist. Whenever h-e tackles an unknown, he turns it into a re- search problem, and often goes off into lengthy methods of analysis which, though lacking accuracy, are certainly original. He has a strange way of differing with Profs in matters of attendance and teaching. Un- fortunately his talents in teaching are not always recognized. i fl GE-ORGE A. ULRICH, JR.

By that way we refer to Bob's peculiar adeptness in the art of col- lecting As A study of his methods gives no hint regarding this priceless asset but still we yearn to know the cause. Perhaps it is just as well that we do not all emulate Bob, otherwise the Profs might soon forget the other letters in the alphabet. CNote: This is simply a little balm to ease our souls.D We have seen, however, that Bob is effi- cient in other activities, such as high jump- ing, baseball and editorial work on the POLY- WoG. You can bet, too, that his athletic achievements were an aid to him in the requirements of the latter. Bob is a natural, willing worker, though, and his assignments usually came in first in spite of heavy class- work. What are you going to do with a guy like that? Eiglzty-three DOUGLAS R.

Unfortunately there is one thing about Doug that remains uppermost in one's mind and that is how could such a likeable fellow hail from such a town as St. Albans, L. I. One eventful day we visited this obscure hamlet and by the grace of heaven escaped alive, despite the attempt of every individual mud hole to obliterate us entirely. We pray him to heed our warning and take to a safe place before the next rainstorm engulfs his homestead. In the meanwhile, a few words about Doug proper. He is one of those awful Chems. just think, five years in a smelly lab pes- tered by thoughts of a long experiment and the opportunities afforded by the wonderful weather outside-then remembrance -of a glorious time in camp the last summer act- ing as a councilor for so many happy and dependent young boys-then a violent return to earth caused by a stream .of water from some ethcient wash bottle and the day dream- ing is over. We think of the lab 'as being no better than a jail, but Doug has 'K named his pizen and deserves credit along with the other Chems for such steadfastness of purpose. Eighty-four WEsToN B.

If during a glass-breaking contest in the Chem Lab someone accidentally gets ahead, Neil drops a beaker on purpose to restore his po- sition. During the summer he --was employed filling glass tubes with Neon. Scientists have determined in the past year that there is more Neon in .the atmosphere than ever before. It has been ascertained that this fakir was actually paid to give a lecture in astronomy to a group of co-eds, and that the greater part of his stenographic and advertising work was done by a few fair damsels, who couldn't resist his wiles.

We must not judge John by the peculiarity of his name, for many are the great masters of the world whose names re- quire much tongue-twisting and extra breath.. This lad has hopes, it seems, of becoming an EE., but, should he fail in this hope, we feel certain that he will be awarded an MB.. CMaster of the BanjoD. He specializes in the music with that soothing, cooling flavor. There is only one thing that we might hold against johnny, and that is the fact that he lives in jersey City, the land of grafting mayors. Still, we should envy him, for his long travels enable him to devote much study to C.alculus and a great deal more to the geometry of figures. An interview with Johnny in the electrical lab invariably will result in a detailed treatise on Electricity with many extra hot words not included in the standard nomenclature. Eighty-fffyg itntertlass Basketball Qibampiuns In order to prove itself superior in athletics as well as in other activities, the Class of 1930, produced a basketball team which annexed the Inter-Class Basketball Tournament for the second consecutive time. The tournament, this year, was one of the closest ever contested and the championship calibre of the team was put to an extreme test. The Hrst game the team played was against its traditional rivals, the seniors. The juniors took the lead at the start of the game and outclassed the defenseless seniors to the tune of 20 to l5. Then came the junior-sophomore game and with it plenty of action. Both teams displayed a stellar brand of basketball but accurate shooting enabled the juniors to emerge victors by a close score of 22-20. Finally, the greatest game of this or any other of the recent to-urnamentsj the juniors, champions of l928 against the freshmen, logical contenders for the crown. ln facing the frosh, the team was up -against some of the hnest basketball material in the Institute. The excitement during the game was the same as that when the Varsity tackled Pratt. Neither team could gain an advantage. Up to the very last minute the score sees-awed back and forth. With a few minutes to go. the juniors played the snappiest kind of ball ever seen in these environs. The iinal whistle found the juniors on the sunny side of a 24 to 23 score.

LI KEL Eiglzly-Mink ilaisturp As a graduating class, we haven't much of a future, but oh, what a past. Ever since we began crawling out of the Subway at Borough Hall and into the brown building, four years ago, we continually learned things by doing-and the doing was not entirely 'confined to academic fields, either. It was early impressed upon our plastic and gullible minds that the spirit of combat and physical compe- tition was a sober requisite of education, and of course, the world-wise and more cultured sophs furnished plenty of atmosphere. Besides, we had read in the catalogue about athletic games of a vigorous nature, which promote mental and -moral qualities. Our logic wasnlt so good at that time, so we took it -all for granted. The Wlelcome Smoker, we learned, was an annual conflict, instituted by the more profound minds of the school, for the purpose of pounding pep U into the perishing Polytechnicianf' Wfe lost the combat-as well as most of our apparel. During this eventful Freshman year, we learned many things-about the biological applications of fire extinguishers, the rupture limit of eggs on impact, the hazard of wearing spats,', the acceleration of falling bags of water, and the odoriferous nature of butyric -acid. VVe also gained a number of class- room impressions, both amusing and dismaying. These had no small effect on our training as diplomats and we lay the triumphs of our sophomore-faculty episodes to the training we received in these halls of learning. For instance, we learned to respond with hearty laughs to some of the profs' jokes, we had already heard in childhood. XV e cultivated repentant miens on a moment's notice when we were given the extreme pleasure of being audience to mid-yearly harangues in the Dean's office. On the other hand, we learned that being called by first names and allowed to enjoy the confidence of a funny story or two made no difference when the final marks were posted. Oh, what an awakening! The sophomore year came on, and with it, a better knowledge of our ground, There was the usual exploitation of freshman innocence, the winning of the Scraps, and triumph in football. The outstanding affair of the year however, was the Smoker, an intimate description of which can best be ffiven 11 s Ora y. Many frosh contributed to the success of the affair-upon request. The year afforded much amusement, and what it didn't afford, we created. The junior -activities began to assume a more dignified nature' that is 311 7 the violations of discipline and propriety were more skillfully carried out There were the same hectic amusements 5 moustaches began to sprout in view of newly acquired importance. Social events claimed attention, and the crowning eve t n Arlillffj' of the year was the celebrated Junior Prom. Athletically, we also continued to function, for we were not only victorious once in the Interclass Basketball Tournament, but even twice successful in the track events. W' e were well on our way to engineering perfection. 1 As senior and prospective men of the world, we are contented in our posi- tion o-f eminence, and realize very well that we deserve it. As perfected products of a long ordeal, we stand as an intelligent, competent and efficient group of technical experts, ready to perform the work ofthe world. Itts a relief to know that we don't have to stick to the old plumbing job or cut hair all day, anymore. VV e have risen to respected heights, to a place of dignity, and will now march triumphantly and victoriously into the realm of industry-if the Dean doesnyt hold up our diplomas! A ,l,i,.

Ninety-five Valehicturian The selection of john Trump as Valedictorian for the Class of 1929 was most fitting and perhaps inevitable. A high degree of accomplishment in scholastic and extra-curricular activity justly earned for our Valedictorian, the high esteem of both the faculty and undergraduate body. john's academic 'endeavors were of high quality and large extent from the start, so that at the completion of his freshman year he had Won the Faculty Scholarship. In the succeeding years he merited the Mermaid Club Award for the highest standing in English, and the 'Green Memorial Contest Medal for an oration on an original topic. Cf Widest note perhaps, was john's supremacy in the recent contest held by the student branch of the A. I. E. E. to select' the Institute's representative in the annual intercollegiate contest sponsored by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Having johnis excellent presentation in mind, we may justly be optimistic with regard tothe continuation of Poly's unbroken line of victories at these conventions. The Valedictorian's activities were not limited to the confines of the class- room but extended into the extra-curricular and social fields, as the acquisition of the coveted Merit Key gives sufficient evidence. john has served in the field of journalism as a member of both the Press Bureau and the Reporter staffs. As a freshman he became interested in the Play Wforkshop and it was not long before he was assigned feature roles. The most caustic of student and faculty critics have acclaimed john's unusual versatile acting ability. Because of his active interest in class matters, he was elected to the vice- presidency of the Senior Class. It is in full justice, then, that a student who could devote so much time to extracurricular affairs and still excel in his studies be given this great Commendation and honor. Nilzvfy-sift' l i fifth ear Glass - I FRANK X. Roviro Chemical E1lgl'7Z'C6l'l11g St. Francis High School 953 Lorimer St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Greenpoint 9911 A.l.Ch.E.g Newman Club All for one and one for all, is the motto of this fifth year graduating class. Seldom before has there been such unification of class functions, such harmony and coherence of thought, and such promptness in the discharge of class duties and obligations. Frank called all class meetings, exhorted cooperation, made - A Q s Y I l hx rules, enforced them-in short, he did anything and everything he was t e reasurer. How cheerfully integral of president, vice-president, secretary and t and promptly he paid his class dues. just imagine how glorious it was for one to pay out money and still retain it! But seriously speaking, we have to hand it to Frank for taking the professors' i puns for five long years and still keep staggering along. Anyone who is martyr enough to inflict a fifth round upon himself after being buffeted about from laboratory to classroom for four sessions, goes on our merit payroll. Really, it was surprising how vigorously this sole survivor of the famous class of '28 protested his being placed in the same category as the seniors but with a page all to himself, he certainly should not be worried about contamination.

VVILSON One Hundred One ilaisturp After the summer vacation, the class of 1931, greatest Romans of them all, returned with the sole idea of making men out of the incoming freshmen. This Freshman Class was found to be the most engaging problem for correction that has been found in a number of years. The task of coercioniproved difhcult but after a strenuous course in smoker and scrap tactics, the Frosh showed signs of improvment. To the surprise of everyone, the VVelcome Smoker was literally a welcome and nothing else. None were more surprised than the fearful frosh who came in large groups, slinking furtively in the shadows to avoid the sophs who were supposedly out for blood. However, '31 had pledged itself to peace and peace was kept, hence the new men were first met by the true Poly Spirit of Friendship. Thus it was that the first of the class smokers was looked to expectantly, a certain lack of dignity being depended upon. Contrary to the usual run of things the Freshmen held their smoker first. Perhaps instead of saying Frosh Smoker we should say All Poly Smoker, for most of the Institute attended, including the majority of the Sophomore Class. ' It all happened when various Sophomores heard certain bits of information and deduced others. At any rate it was found that the smoker was to be held somewhere on 22nd Street, New York. An -advanced guard of Sophs scouted through the neighborhood and finally discovered the place in the very shado-W of the gas house. Representing themselves as members of the frosh committee, the sophomores were able to inspect the place and even sample the liquid refresh- ments reserved for the yearlings. The freshmen trustfully went ahead with their plans and when the sophs arrived in force the following night, they were met by only the real freshman committee and a few juniors. The sophs naturally took charge and managed the smoker in accordance with their own taste. Unfortunately some -of the second ,year men had straggled and when they sought admittance they were refused it by the proprietor with sundry threats as to police intervention. The disgruntled sophomores decided that if they could not enter that neither could the rest of the frosh. Thus the arriving frosh were politely requested to turn about and retrace their steps. However the fact that it was cold outside and that there was food within determined the action of the '31 men in their efforts to reach the interior. A humble frosh Was kidnapped as he wandered peacefully toward the meeting place One Hundred Two and held as a hostage. After much argument pro and con and much pledging to keep peace, admittance was gained. Food and drink made the affair a success and to establish possession, '31 raised its banner. From that point on the smoker was an All Poly one. Having shown the frosh how to run a smoker the sophs turned about and showed them how to win a disc rush and football game. On Poly Day, at Ebbets Field, the two rival classes clawed and struggled for the elusive discs. The turf was hard and the air was brisk and cool, these conditions being almost exactly opposite to those of the preceding year when the disc rush was for the first time experimented. After ten minutes of scrapping the sophs were declared victors with a top-heavy score. Not content with this scrap, the boys went at it again, this time in a pants rush. This little affair was a complete success in that most of the remaining raiment was destroyed. ln the afternoon, the football squad did some clever line-bucking and intercepted a few forwards to beat the frosh gridders by the score of 24-6 Right after the rush the sophs pulled Poly's most secret smoker. Even the members of the class didnlt know where it was until they arrived there! The committee provided busses for the members of the class and the destination was locked in the minds of the committee and the drivers. Small chance of frosh interference! It turned out that the place was somewhere in the unknown wilder- ness of Long Island. There, under the hospitable roof of the local fire company the sophomores and their unwilling guests held a real honest-to-goodness Smoker with a capital S. The education of the freshmen was completed after the annual interclass Scraps. Following tradition and aided by the sophomores the frosh went down to defeat. 1931 made practically a clean sweep of the wrestling events, winning all but the 158 lb. bout which was lost on disqualification. However, the frosh showed their mettle in the boxing, with the result that the sophomores were only able to gain one bout out of the Hve. In the tugs-of-war the sophs triumphed, winning two out of the three tugs, thus establishing superiority. The final score of the Scraps was 33-30. The sophomores have as this brief chronicle goes to the press, every hope of continuing the successful record in the events yet remaining. Men of '31 are looking forward toward repeating the slaughter of last year in the baseball game and the avenging of last year's defeat in track. Although ,30 administered the drubbing on the cinders, revenge will have to be taken on l32 to uphold tradi- tion. It probably will be just as sweet! The class of 1931 now finds itself at the close of another successful year and has advanced another step nearer its goal.

One Hundred Seven Q itlilamgn Qtngineer An Engineer, you sit up nights and man, You work and study up some complex plan, And soon on either bank of some wide stream You see the realization of your dream. The caissons deepand wide go slowly down, VV ith sturdy steel the naked concreteis crowned, The gleaming cables rivaling spiders, skeins Are woven, back and forth, and back again, At last the finished span before your eyes Hangs there, a silvery web against the skies, A monument to you when you are past, A monument that evermore shall last. Your pay? So small that others shake with mirth But all their gold could never pay your worth! VV hen kings of finance die, their towering tombs, Are marked with granite shafts and gaudy stones, A few short years and then we wonder why These shafts were ever raised against the sky. But you, an honest marker here have raised, That lives long after you have won the grave, Then, let the mockers gather 'round and sneer, You stand above, a MAN, an ENGINEER.

SHAW Dance EDWARD BRANIGAN, Cl1ai1'ma1z NICHOLAS BARBIERI BYRNE HUTCHINGS JOHN BRIDEGROOM VV ALTER A. SHAW One Hznzdred .Eleven iiaisturp The Class of 1932 entered the portals of the Polytechnic with the firm deter- mination to become the best class of them all. Everyone received an inkling of 32,s athletic promise when Coach Durborow announced that the yearlings were physically the most perfect ever enrolled in the Institute. A In a very short time our reputation became such that the prudent sophs restrained from laying violent hands upon any of us, SVCD 2112 the VVClC0mC Smoker which usually proved to be a riot of hazing. In place of the frequent free-for-alls and informal massacres usually staged during the first part of the year, a day, known as Poly Day, was set aside to provide time and space for the legalizing of these arduous shindigsf' This year the place was Ebb-ets Field and on one particular Qctober morning the stronger but less experienced frosh locked horns with the more numerous and well seasoned sophs. The first event was the disc rush. After ten sanguinous and hectic minutes the sophs, upholding precedent, emerged victorious, but the result indicated that they had participated in no Ebbets Field Tea Party. Imme- diately following the disc rush came the pants tearing co-ntest, a wild orgy of ripping and rending in which the decision went to the ragman. The grand finale was staged in the form of a football game on a field that was w'ell soaked with the drizzling rain. After leading in the first quarter the frosh succumbed to the aggressive onslaught of the second year men and the game ended with the score 24-6. ' Since the existing Freshman Rules were not deemed sufficient to distinguish us from the lordly sophomores, we were the highly gratified and appreciative recipients of most charming and becoming skull caps of blue and gray. The enforcing of the Freshman Rules gave many a soph premature gray hair but finally a promiscuous use of the mill, especially when it was applied in a gentlemanly manner, convinced us that, after all, the rules were not so bad. About this time our fancies turned to thoughts of a smoker. Here '32 had a decided advantage for '31 was in a deep dark financial hole brought on by sundry follies, while the frosh had a clean slate. Knowing that the sophs could not stage their smoker for some time, we set about with light heart to arrange our own affair. To make the game of hide and seek more interesting, we chose the site of the smoker in the center of the tough gas-house district on the loxver east side. Arrangements were made for the kidnapping of several prominent sophomores who had made themselves extremely popular with ug, but yvho were tipped off and perversely refused to be shanghaied. Despite the earnest efforts of the Smoker Committee, the sophs got wind of the course of events and stumbled UPON the 10C21tiO11- They were greatly outnumbered, however, and would Om' Hundred T-waive have been cuffed around prettilylwere it not for the intervention of the pro- prietor of the building who threatened to charge for all damages suffered. After somewhat of an amnesty was secured, the irresistible sophs gained admission by payment of a fee. When the entertainment was over the hundred and fifty frosh, sophs, and upperclassmen present, hiked to Times Square where they organized the biggest and wildest snake dance ever witnessed in the history of the Polytechnic. Many a traffic policeman went home in a daze that night and the theatre ushers with their gorgeous regalia are probably not over their fright yet. There were one hundred and fifty wild, shrieking, sweating maniacs, arranged in a long sinuous coil stretching across streets, blocking traffic completely, winding in and out of theatre lobbies . . . what a night! About one o'clock, after two solid hours of this, a few hardy policemen, by a liberal use of night sticks, broke it up. That night will long be remembered. A few weeks later, the poverty stricken sophs staged thir smoker out in some forsaken wilderness, and although they managed to get a couple of frosh the rest of us were sufficiently forewarned to keep under cover. After these eventful happenings both classes set about preparing themselves for the rapidly approach- ing Scraps. The sophs had already accumulated a twenty point lead in the Poly Day events and therefore it behooved us to no small degree to make a clean sweep of these contests if we were to win emanicipation from the Freshman Rules. VVhen the day finally arrived, it witnessed a surprisingly fine showing of the yearlings for they annexed almost all of the boxing bouts, losing only one, chalked up one bout in wrestling and won the 145 lb. tug-of-war. At the close the score stood 33-30 in favor of the sophs. A few weeks later the interclass basketball game was held. Tn this the soph' quintet was handed a severe trimming at the hands of the whirlwind frosh five. The freshman five later defeated the seniors and came within one goal of defeating the juniors for the championship of the Institute. Peace reigned sjvafio 1i7ZZlC7 Zf'UHO but one fine spring day while we were attempt- ing to effect a collegiate mien for the PoLYwoG photographer we were suddenly deluged with a copious batch of antediluvian hen berries and pails of aqua pura. Postponement was necessary but fifty heroic freshmen put one over on the wise ones by appearing very early one snowy morning and having their pictures. taken while the sophs were still in the land of nod. VV e laid aside our battle axes with the coming of April and the Freshman Hop at the Pennsylvania Hotel. The affair was a great success both socially and financially. Wfe now stand on the threshold of sophomorismf' NV e leave behind our neophytic cloak and are prepared to inculcate our successors with the ethics of collegiate froshhoodf' Om' Hmzdrcd Tliirfcwz Members ERIK ACKERLIND Electrical Engineering Manual Training High School 486 4th St., Brooklyn, N.

For the fourth year, now, this organization has succeeded in doing more toward the promotion of good will and friendliness among the fraternities at the Poly- technic, than any order of its kind before it. The Council is made up of representatives sent by the recognized fraternities on the campus, each fraternity designating two, who then convene about twice a month. In addition, there is present at each meeting, two members of the faculty who aid the Council in deciding certain issues requiring faculty cooperation. This year the Council has seen fit to amend the rules regarding pledging and rushing of freshmen, to cope with the many problems brought forward with the increase of freshman registration. lt regulates, moreover, the rules governing the Tnterfraternity Basketball Tournament and Bridge Tournament. lt main- tains a Social Calendar which posts, weeks in advance, the various fraternity functions. The orientation of the freshmen is another matter which comes under the jurisdiction of the Council. The Council is a member of the National Conference, and is represented each year at the convention.

GILIBERTY The management and the regulation of undergraduate activities comes under the supervision of the student government-The Student Council. In this capacity it receives the budgets oi the various societies and teams and, upon acceptance, makes the necessary appropriations. It awards, moreover, at the end of each year, those who have distinguished themselves in some branch of student activity, with Merit Keys. These keys are the honor keys of the Poly- technic, and, as such, are symbolic of the highest award of the College. This year, the Council has succeeded in promulgating and maintaining amicable relations between the lower classes. In accordance with the new fresh- man rules, it s-aw that every freshman was provided with a cap ol the College colors. Again, this year, the Council sent a representative to the National Student Federation, an organization of colleges and universities, strongly influential in the affairs of student government.

The splendid results turned in by the teams which Poly placed in the held this year speak praise of not only good management but reveals a strong promise of even greater success in the future. The commendable progress made by the rifle team which has experi- enced only two years of intercollegiate competition emphasizes to a greater degree the efficiency of this government. It is the Board's foresight, insanctioning and eiifecting the passage of the compulsory Blanket Fee, that a newer and more glorious Polytechnic looms on the horizong since, with this judicious ruling, not only is definite backing of the teams assured but there is a good possibility of an extension of intercollegiate sports. ln addition to all these important duties, the Board legislates on the election of the captaincies and managerships.

Over 300 men attended and witnessed the unveiling of the bronze 6 memorial tablet to the Founders of the Polytechnic which was given by the Class of 1912. Among the alumni present were: R. P. XVardwell '68, George Crom- well '78, M. S. Allen '78, and S. Chadwick '88. A collation was served and two musical entertainments Pullman Persiflagen and Way Down South. made the evening pass quickly. The next alumni event was that of the Annual Meeting and Smoker held on Th ' - ' ' uisday, December 6, at the new Elks Club house, Livingston Street and Boerum Place. This was preceded by a dinner tendered to the Alumni by the Corporation at which was announced the inauguration of a Living Endowment Fund for the Greater Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. The plan gives the b opportunity to each alumnus to make yearly contributions to this Fund which will represent not capital but the interest figured at 5 per cent on the correspond- ing capital sum. In addition to this, it asks friends of the Polytechnic to con- tribute in like manner. The speakers at this Dinner included: Dr. XV. H. Nichols '68, Mr. Clifford E. Paige, Charles E. Potts '92, Dr. Parke R. Kolbe, and President Albert IV. Meisel '02. The Fund when under way only about three months showed a total of over 37,000.00 with an average subscription of over 326.36 and is increasing rapidly. Immediately following the Alumni held its annual meeting. The Nominating Committee was called upon and through its Chairman, Irving VV. VVeed, '15, it reported that it was pleased, after much deliberation and careful consideration, to present the following slate: Albert XV. Meisel '02, for President, Wlalter J. Barrett '20, for Vice-President, Henry B. Hanstein '24, for Treasurer, john R. Brierley '10, for Secretary. The nominations were seconded, voted closed and by motion the Secretary was instructed to cast one ballot making the election unanimous. The Alumni were then invited to journey to the Institute Gym where a basketball game between the junior and Sophomore Classes afforded them entertainment. The Employment Bureau of the Alumni Office has been made of real prac- tical benefit. Over fifty men were placed in permanent positions and a similar number found temporary employment of various kinds. Alumni are requested to notify the Bureau when men are needed, or when jobs are available. Poly Men, the Alumni magazine was issued five times during last year. This year it appeared eight times. It has been increased in size, the first issue running twelve pages, subsequent issues carried eight. There now are the following regular yearly alumni events which will be held as follows: February-All Poly Dl7'l'lIU7',' JL1llCkALll1ll1'l1i Day, October- A1'lLl'll,ll'l-VUl'A l'fj' Basketball and W7'USfll'7lg lWafc1zes,' Deceinber-Affzmlal llfleciifzg and Snfzokcr.

An: intensive program was arranged at the beginning of the year which diverted from the usual type of program. Speakers were obtained to talk on non-technical sub- jects and films were shown on the technical subjects. The effect was marked in that the attendance was greatly increased over preceding years. A total of six meetings were held during the year. The National Convention was held in December with Prof. Edwin F. Church, Jr., presiding and was attended by ninety .per cent of the students at Poly. This, incidentally, was the second largest group at the convention. Poly had the distinction this year of holding the chairmanship of the Execu- tive Council of the Metropolitan Area which is represented by ten colleges. The spring convention of the Metropolitan Area was well attended both in the afternoon and evening sessions. The chairman of the Executive Council presided over both sessions. The afternoon session featured Dr. Arthur La Roe with a talk on Aviation Engineering which was well received. The evening session featured Major Anthony Fiala with a lecture on his North Pole and South American expeditions, and Miss Amelia Erhardt, who gave an interesting account of the famous transatlantic flight.

But, we have one consolation and that is 'that we heeded the remarkable suggestion to organize a large staff. We were told that many editors would know a lot more than a few. Wfell, we're not so sure that this publication was bettered any by this supposed reserve of knowledge but we do know that there is strength in numbers. Besides, the distribution of come what may will be spread out so that our individual shares will be reduced. Someone else suggested that an elegy--a serious masterpiece to coininemorate the martyrs of l929-be put on this page. Since we didnit have any poets among us and since this would give the impression that we had spelled our own doom, this brilliant idea was abandoned. Realizing the need of more truth than poetry we are adopting the motto of former POLYWOG staffs lf you like it, bring your friends, If you don't we better bring ours. Everyone likes to get serious-even ia POLYWOG staff. W' e feel that we canit close one of the best periods of our college life without an appropriate farewell. Uur selection gave us the one great opportunity to render a service to our class. The task was before us. Wie strived hard and finished it. We make. our bow with the fervent hope that we have successfully recorded in organized and enduring form, the history of the Institute.

Under the editorship of Edgar Messing, the sixteenth volume of the paper was unusually good. The object of the managing board was to secure such local, educational and engineering news that would be of interest to all readers. Not only did the board obtain good material but the selection of the matter to be printed was such that only items of importance were included. The style of the writing in both the news and feature articles was less formal. There was more intercollegiate news and the quality of the special columns was of exceptional merit. Two new columns which proved to be of general interest were innovated. The resignation of 'VV'atson Mason as managing editor proved to be a handicap for the staff to work under but the position was soon capably filled by NVilliam Goldberg. The humor issue of the Reporfei' which appeared previous to the winter vaca- tion was an excellent burlesque of one of the metropolitan tabloids. The Daily N ewsaincc was given an enthusiastic welcome by both the faculty and student body. One Huizdrcd .S'1'.rfy-0110 SIDNEY G. ALBERT . XYILLIAAI GOLDBERG . H.AROLD XNEINBERGER ROBERT P. BROWN .

FORTE 4 i ,, . ,wr - ..,-.u From its organization in 1921 by Michael Meseritz to the present day, the Press Bureau has slowly gained prominence among the extra-curricula activities at the Polytechnic. It has not only expanded sever-al times its original size but has also been gaining constantly increasing publicity forthe Institute. In these eight years the Press Bureau has become more and more efficient with press releases going out daily and all the staffs coordinating. The complete organiza- tion is comparable with a modern press office in the theatre world. The bulletin board covered with clippings gives evidence of the accomplishment of the Bureau due to the untiring efforts of the members of the staff. The outstanding achievement of the past ye-ar was the work of the Press Bureau in the handling of the Frosh-Soph Disc Rush at Ebbets Field. On the two previous days the Press Bureau men got in touch with all the metropolitan newspapers and, as a result, -a squad of about twenty cameramen and reporters were on the Held to witness the annual battle. On the following day the story and pictures appeared in almost every New York and Brooklyn newspaper. Much of the credit is due to Sid Albert who for the past year has shown his capabilities as fa leader in his work as chairman of the Bureau. The Press Bureau was also fortunate in obtaining the aid of Mr. Brierley who willingly cooperated with the Bureau supplying the information regarding the corporation, faculty, and alumni. - One Hznzdrea' Si.l'lil f11J'UL' LOUIS N.

In Order to acquaint the neophytes with the new rulings put into effect recently, the Handbook of this academic year devoted considerable space to set forth the edicts of the Student Council in a clear, concise and of course, as is always the case, humorous manner. The book was creditably edited and is probably the best that has appeared in recent years. L A 0ne Hundred Szlrfy-six I Glaze Qiluh MR. JOHN R. BRIERLEY, T10 . . Di1'cci'.v1- MR. DUNCAN MILLER ......

The l'lay XYorkshop I had been using for this purpose only a piece of cloth which had gradually gotten cracked and badly soiled. A new sky, called a cycloramaf' was obviously indi- J: - - , . cated. Should it be simply cloth-canvas. as is customary even in regular , theatres? Should it be a sky-dome built of plaster? XYell, why not a dome? --not of plaster, but of asbestos? True, asbestos had never been used for such a purpose before, but it had its possibilities-it was plastic, easily worked. and it was fireproof. Wfhy not experiment? So a dome was designed that just fitted into the alcove at the rear of the stage. A timber frame was put up and was I covered with fine strong wire. The asbestos was applied in liquid form, coat 'l after coat. It stuck to the wire. After the inequalities had been smoothed out, ' the new dome was complete-the hrst asbestos sky-dome in the world, if only Q a miniature. A successful experiment,-something entirely new. I Wfould it take the lights well? More experimentation. A new lighting sys- I ' tem especially for the dome was designed and built-a long and difficult job. The I .!, I lights were turned upon the dome. The effects were perfect-softness, depth, I all colors of dawn, sunset, pale-blue sky of full daylight, and the dark blue of night. The dome was evidently an entire, an unqualihed, an immense success. The general satisfaction felt by all of the many who had worked hard in planning and executing the dome and the lighting system was due to the feeling that not only had the Play Wforkshop gained an important addition to its permanent .. to the stage. I I I I I equipment but also that as an experimental theatre, it had contributed something, ' The opportunity to show off that sky and the new lighting system came very fll . . . . 'I' soong for The Wforkshop entertained the eastern division of the Society for the 'I ,, Promotion of Engineering Education, which held its annual meeting at the Poly- 'I technic in December. Here, felt the VX7orkshop members, was an audience that 'I would appreciate good technique, if good technique it was-for theidelegates were I technical men. Bra-ins was the play-an old favorite, now revived with new -I scenery and so forth. How would that supposedly critical audience take the pro- duction? They took it well-so well, indeed, that The XVorkshop felt repaid I ten times over for all its preparatory effort. , I I I I li I I 3 -+I I One f'fHIldl'Cd .S'i.rf3'-fiiizf 1 A ITIDELE PIRA Qlirculn Gaiden OFFICERS FIDELE PIRA . . . . .

PETRINO LOUIS D12 ROSA A group of enterprising students, in 1920, conceived the idea of establishing an Organization which would serve to promote an interest in Italian art, science, and history, and to initiate the freshmen of Italian descent into the complexities of college life at the Institute. The organization has come down through pos- terity upholding the principles upon which it was founded, very creditably. This year under the guidance of Fidel Pira, the society achieved remarkable progress. At the start of the year about twelve freshmen were taken into the fold. Throughout the year a high average of attendance was maintained which enabled the plans for social, athletic, and business activities to be executed suc- cessfully. The annual dance which was held on November 24 proved to be a social triumph. One Hundred Seventy JAMES MURRAY LOUIS DE ROSA ALFRED CONTI . JOHN J. DALTON LE ROY 0,BRIEN Smtnman Qilah QEETCERS . .

BLATZ, .ZVlCZ7ZUg67' The first of March brought to a close a very successful basketball season for 1928-29. Under the captaincy of Larry U Perez and the guidance of Coach Durborow, Poly won six of the eleven games played. Early in Gctob-er, Coach Durborow had issued his call for basketball men and as a result about forty responded. For two months this squad, composed equally of veterans and inex- perienced youngsters, practiced daily. Gradually a first squad, of which Larry Perez, Palchevsky, Kennedy, and VVilson formed a nucleus, began to shape itself, in readiness for -the opening game. The season opened on December 8, with the annual intracollege game with the evening quintet. The day team was easily defeated by 27-16 in a very loosely played game. The team that took the floor showed three freshmen, Jones, Hutch- ings, and Jansen, who were playing their first game for Poly. This trio was generally accepted as a good foundation for successful teams in the future. Qur old rival, Stevens, was encountered the following week. There ensued on the jersey court one of the fastest and most exciting contests of the season, ending in another defeat for Poly, but the score, 26-25, indicated the fight the Blue and Gray put up to throw off the three year jinx-Polyls nemesis. The grads were the first victims of the Poly cagers. Jones, one of the freshmen, proved ra wonderful find. He scored 17 of the total of 45 points against the 24 score of the Alumni. The veterans Napoli, McKeen, A. Munzer, Lt. Shepps, Pecha and Fischel, represented the Alumni. One Hundred Sewizty-six The next victim to succumb to the now more experienced Poly team was the Newark College of Engineering: XYilson, playing his second year at Poly, made high score of 9 points, the tally at the final whistle being Poly, 31 g Newark College of Engineering, 15. Poly scored her third victory by downing the Drexel quintet 28 to 19. Jones again starred, scoring 11 points. On February 2. came the vital Pratt game and for the third successive time the Blue and Gray suffered defeat at the hands of her traditional rival. Poly can attribute the cause of her downfall to poor shooting both from the court and from the foul line. iifhile ,lones made high score, Palchevsky played the best game for Poly. Trinity followed on the heels of Pratt and added another game to the defeat list of the Engineers. Poly took the defeat to the tune of 26-22. True to his previous form jones totaled the highest number of points. Poly came back on top again with a victory over Northeastern in a rough and tumble game by a score of 30-24. After leading throughout the first half the New Englanders slipped behind in the second half and remained there until the final whistle. iivith the home season closed the quintet left for Philadelphia to meet Drexel in a return game. Never before in the history of the Tnstitute has such spirit been shown by the student body as was displayed on this trip. Two bus loads carrying seventy rooters traveled along with the team to lend their support from the sidelines. Drexel avenged her defeat by downing the Engineers 23-18. The team and students then journeyed to Delaware where the Poly five met the Uni- versity of Delaware. The 1Cl1'S'E half ended 13 to 9 in favor of the home team and the Poly rooters, already hoarse, tried desperately to spur their team on. In the second half the Poly team came back strong and played the most spectacular half of the season. They forged ahead point by point, finally bringing the score to 24-19 in their favor. The final game of the season was the return engagement with Pratt. The game was hard-fought from beginning to end. The spirit of the crowd was keen and the Poly representation was anxious for a victory. ' The game was spectacular from beginning to end. Pratt made a brave stand but she had to yield to the strong, aggressive plays of the Poly team-the Engi- neers simply could not be stopped. Wfhen the final whistle blew the score stood, Poly 26, Pratt 19. Hutchings played like a streak, scoring eleven points. Larry Perez played his final game with the Blue and Gray and gave his all toward bringing the basketball season to a successful close. One Hilzndred 5'c'w11ty-sfwzz li ussbaum . . . . Conti .. . . .

STEEN, Manager VVith only three veterans left and a schedule composed of strong teams to be encountered, prospects for a good season were not very encouraging. How- ever, Coach Banks immediately set about to mould a formidable team from the thirty-seven candidates who responded to the hrst call for practice. With Revukas, Odernheimer, and Pira training for their old posts, there remained five divisions to be Hlled by new material taken from the squad. It was not long, however, before these hplaces were filled, leaving a considerable number of first class substitutes to take the positions as the trials of the season presented them- selves. After concluding a long and arduous practice session, the team pitted its strength against Brooklyn C. C. N. Y. in the hrst match of the season. In this affair, the Poly grapplers had no trouble in subduing their opponents by the score of 23-10. Albert, a new man in the varsity line-up, won a fall in fifty seconds. Not to be outdone, a freshman, Simons, wrestling in the heavyweight class, pinned his adversary in something less than twenty-five seconds. O'Sullivan and Lotz, also new varsity men, cleaned up in their respective classes with a fall apiece. The veteran Odernheimer won on a time advantage. In the next match on the schedule, the team was routed by the strong squad of Columbia and managed to score only nine points to twenty-one of its oppon- ents. This match was significant, however, in that it brought out a new grappler in the person of Vlfesty VVhite who opened a long series of successive wins by scoring a fall against his unsuspecting opponent. Sid Albert made a definite One Hundred Eighty berth for himself in the 125 lb. class by garnering three points on a time advantage. Temple appeared in the Poly gym on -lanuary Sth as part of a double- header program. It was at this match that the team suffered a great loss when Bob O'Sullivan dislocated his elbow terminating thereby what had promised to be an auspicious season for him. The team cleaned up, however, by a 23-10 score. Nardi, Albert, XYhite. and Odernheimer scored falls and I.,otz added the other three points with a time advantage. At this period of the season, the team suffered several small set backs and, although the decisions were close, lost the next four matches. Rutgers avenged their defeat of last year by scoring an 18-15 win. The team fought hard. how- ever, as shown by the narrow margin of defeat. NVhite scored his third consecu- tive fall and Albert and Qdernheimer showed their strength by also scoring falls. In the next affair, Pop Foster and his Princeton team appeared on the scene and the former Poly coach received a good scare before the match was awarded to his charges. Qui' grapplers contested each bout so closely that the Princeton men had to do their utmost to win by the score of 17-13. Albert staged a big surprise by throwing Kent, the runner-up in the Eastern Intercollegiate Cham- pionships, in the short time of thirty-five seconds. .Iimmy Ragusan, a compara- tive novice, added five points with a fall. 1Vhite added another victory to his list by winning on a time advantage. Pira was pitted against Graham, the Eastern Intercollegiate Champion and lost only by a slight time advantage. For its next two matches, the team journeyed to the Rochester Mechanics Institute and Alfred University respectively. The long trip and the short rest intervals put the team out of sorts so that they dropped both of these matches. The matches were not without interest however, for 1Vhite extended his winning streak to six by gaining two time advantages and Lotz scored twice by winning a time advantage and receiving a draw. Back home again, the team matched itself against Cooper Union. The match was a slow one, three of the scheduled bouts being forfeited by our opponents. Gut of the four remaining bouts, the visitors managed to gather ten points. Massachusetts Institute of Technology was the next to face the Poly team. In the 115 lb. class, Nussbaum made a gallant comeback by struggling against a time advantage and finally pinning his man near the end of the match. 1Vins by Pira and Lotz and forfeits in the 135 lb. and unlimited classes brought the Poly score to 21. Odernheimer was pitted against M. I. T.'s captain and lost by the small matter of seventeen seconds. The final match of the season was with the Alumni. Among the latter com- peting were Butch Nardi, Frank Paparozzi, Al Cestaro, and Stretch Bin- nie. Ragusan staged one of the finest bits of defensive and offensive work ever seen in the gym by defeating Paparozzi.

The string of defeats, which were towards the end of the season, may be attributed to the continual change in line-up and loss of men by promotion to the Varsity. , . . - D The hrst opponents, the Evening Jay Vees proved an easy victim. The ay team ran up a 34-23 victory, which at no time was in doubt. In the next game the Blue and Gray juniors brought home the bacon from the Stevens Reservesg the final score was 22-13. Still carrying the momentum of victory with it, the team next lined up Manual Training for a victim in the third straight victory. The game closed with a 27-21 chalked up in Polyls favor. The team next faced the Newark Prep team which broke the.string of victories and handed the Jay Vees a 25-19 defeat. The St. john's Frosh, the next team encountered, won by a 27-25 score. The St. john team ran up an early lead and kept it throughout the entire game. The game with the Pratt junior Varsity courtmen resulted in -another defeat with a score of 15-11. Both teams played an excellent and close game, but the visitors had the slight edge. Determined to break the suc- cession of defeats, the jay Vees took the Ravengers into camp by trouncing them to the tune of 16-7. The St. Iohn,s Prosh in a hard game again admin- istered a 46-25 defeat. ln another return game against the Pratt jay Vees the Poly men once more tasted defeat on the short end of a 24-14 score. One I-Iund1'c'd Eighjy-two W iluniur 'liatsitp wrestling The Junior Varsity wrestlers had little opportunity to show their prowess. Either because of the lack of worthy opponents or because of the rapid promo- tions to the Varsity, only one match was held during the 1928-29 season. The match, an unofficial one, brought the grapplers together with the excep- tionally strong Poly Prep aggregation, a team that has remained undefeated throughout the season. The comparatively inexperienced jay Vees were at a great disadvantage and could do little against their powerful opponents. Since the mainstays of the team had joined the Varsity ranks, there remained only the new material to face the Poly Prep grapplers. The final score, 23 to 3, while very impressive, is not at all indicative of the hard fight put up by the Poly wrestlers. The match was held at an inopportune time with the result that, Poly had no representation in two matches and thereby forfeited ten points on default. Ragusan, wrestling his first competitive bout, lost on time advantage while Perillo and Wfeinkauff were pinned after wrestling valiantly. Ruck by winning on a time advantage secured the only score for Poly. Ont' Hzmdrc'd Eiglzfy-llzrcc' ifle illieam OFFICERS LT. JOHN V. GROMBACH . Coach ALFRED J. VVATSON . Captain BOLESLAV FABIROSKI .

Since its beginning, three years ago, as a rifie club, the team had risen more rapidly than any other Organization at Poly in recent years. Shortly after practice had begun, it was announced that the team was suc- cessful in Obtaining as a coach, Lt. John V. G1'O111lJZlCl1, a graduate of XYest Point and one who was thoroughly experienced in the handling Of rifle and pistol fOr marksmanship. Under his direction, a new range was built in the sub-cellar beneath the gym which was constructed tO contain all the conveniences and facilities Of a modern range. A special platform tO aid in prone and kneeling shots was also built. Following several weeks Of daily practice which included a practice match won by the Poly nimrods Over the 69th Regiment, the team entered upon its intercollegiate schedule. The first match Of the season was with C. C. N. Y. which the team lost by forfeit due tO an error Of the N. R. A. in the mailing Of the scores. The team succumbed to a combination Of hard luck and strong Opponents for it lOSt the nextfour matches On the schedule. However, it gained in strength as the season drew On SO that as this book goes tO press there is still the opportunity for the team tO win the remaining two matches against Cornell and Princeton. Although the team has had a poor season, much Of the raw material Of which it was composed has been developed tO the stage where it may be expected tO put On a strong front in the competition Of next year.

This cup was offered with the stipulation that it should finally become the property of the fraternity that won it three successive times. Up to the present time, the cup has been held by Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Alpha, Theta Kappa Nu, Phi Beta Delta and Alpha Chi Rho successively. Since none have won it more than once, there is no possibility that the cup will cease circulating within the next few years. Interest in this tournament is now so keen and the teams have practiced so assiduously that this year's contests promise to be of near-varsity calibre. One Hundred Eighty-nine The start of the sports season found Poly with two formidable teams but without a cheer leader to guide the unruly frosh in the cheering stands. After several of the lowerclassmen had attempted the difficult task, without success, Frank Merklin, a senior, was appointed to the position. His selection proved to be the solution to the cheering problem. Frank immediately set down to work and with the 'assistance of several freshmen and sophomores brought order out of chaos. Pep Rallies were called before every important game and the hearty response from the entire student body proved gratifying. The most notable work of the cheer leader was that at the Delaware game. The game was the hardest of the season and the seventy-five rooters that had accompanied the team to Newark, Delaware, to lend their support nearly lifted the rafters off the building. In recognition of Frankis notable work during the season, the Board of Control awarded him the Cheer Leader Award.

One Hundred Ninety-tlzree flihening Stuhent rlwganigatiun The Evening Student Grganization has grown rapidly since its founding in the fall of l922 until the present time. It serves the two-fold purpose of bringing a spirit of fellowship to the students and encouraging extra-curricular activities, thus bringing a truer college atmosphere to the evening department. The organization is controlled by the Evening Student Co-uncil which con- sists of ten members selected from the students by popular vote. These men serve a term of four years, during which time, their work consists chiefly in determining and fulfilling the wishes of the men whom they represent. To meet the expenses incurred in this work, all members of the organization pay a fee for the privilege of sharing in the activities offered. The activities are classified into three divisions, scholastic, -athletic, and social. In the scholastic division, the student member has the privilege of joining the engineering society in which he is most interested. Prominent engineers from time to time lecture to these societies. The members may also attend most of the functions given at the Engineering Societies Headquarters in New York City. Those students interested in athletics may join any one of the athletic teams such as basketball, wrestling, rifle, and tennis. Players who are proicient in their respective sports are given the opportunity of competing with the teams of other colleges, while at the end of the season, those men who are deserving of the honor are presented with a varsity letter. In addition to the organized sports available, the student has the use of thetgymnasium where he may indulge in handball, basketball, gymnastics, calisthenics, and swimming, at his pleasure. The social part of the program is built upon the winter and spring dances given by the organization in one of the large hotels in the city. Members are -admitted free of charge to these dances. The same privilege is theirs with respect to all home games or matches of the respective athletic teams. g In addition to the functions described, the council awards merit keys to those students who have fulfilled certain prescribed conditions regarding eXtra-curricu- lar activities. At the close of the school year, any surplus accounts are passed over to the succeeding administration which continues in much the same manner as the former. It has been the custom in the past several years, however, to use part of the surplus in making a gift to the Polytchnic Institute either directly or by assisting in instituting one of the scholarships of the school.

One Hmzdzcd Nimriy-si.1' y I lf I l The Evening courtmen, an aggregation of experienced veterans, compiled One Of the best records in recent years in the schedule for the year. Cf the fifteen games played, most Of them against powerful quintets. the basketeers only dropped three. As the scores indicate, the team Outplayed most Of its Opponents, and succumbed only by small margins. The crowning -achievement of the season was the victory over the day team. The quintet found little difficulty in securing its third consecutive win over the less-expereinced day Varsity. Terjesen, as has been his custom for the last few years, totaled the highest score, collecting just twice as much as the runner-up, Powell, who garnered sixty-nine. Despite the setback received in the middle of the season when Sartori was injured and forced out Of the line-up for the remainder Of the season, the team kept up its furious pace and emerged highly successful from a very stiff schedule. Both Manager Murphy and his assistant, Kingston, are to be given a great deal Of credit for guiding the team through a successful season.

Md1f7ZUg67' The Evening Rifle Team was organized at the start of the year. Although it has progressed slowly, it bids fair to become an established unit which will soon participate in intercollegiate competition. Despite the handicap of scarcity of time for practice, the team compiled impressive scores in the few matches held this year. In its first match with the crack lO1st Cavalry riilemen, the team succumbed by a fair margin. However, a decided improvement was shown in the matches against the lst Naval Battalion and the Znd Naval Battalion. The steady and remarkable improvement shown as the season progressed is a good indication that the team will meet with considerable success next year.

As you turn its pages you will live again your joyous college days . . . see the faces of old friends . . . favorite spots on the campus. A college annual should be the finest expres- sion of the printer's art. Annuals by Brandow are that kind. For we feel obligated to live up to the confidence expressed by twenty-four leading colleges for whom we created year books last year. The printing of college annuals is, with us, more than the production of beautiful vol- umes . . . it is a hobby-for We revel in the true job of creative, artistic craftsmanship. To withstand constant handling the covers are as sturdy as artistic. The type is clear, harmonious, balanced. A patented process makes it possible for us to produce cuts which retain all the pristine clearness of the original photographs. So Well do we serve our schools that invariably' the staffs have recommended us to their successors. It will be a pleasure to discuss with you the details of your next annual.
