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.
