The class oT '35 will bear wiTness To The TacT ThaT, however green we may have looked when we TirsT enTered, The Frosh Class grew up almosT over-nighT and gave The sophisTicaTed sophomores a run Tor Their money in The scraps and in The horseplay around The lnsTiTuTe. The social evenT oT The TirsT year was a moonlighT looaT ride up The Hudson.

As Tor general appearance and make-up, The '35 Polywog bowed To no predecessors. As is evidenT. The class has a Tlare Tor seTTing high sTandards and precedenTs. The success oT The Polywog made iT possible Tor The Class To underTal4e a Junior Prom. This aTTair, ouTsTanding as such aTTairs always are, was held in The Sun Room oT The l-loTel Edison.

From The '37-'38 Fracas Page one hundred iwenly-six FRESHMEN THE T936 .'!. rg. 3 L'1gifr.sl'AA WILLIAM KRAMER FREDERICK SAWYER JOSEPH WEISS PAUL REYLING Secrefary Presidenf Vice-presidenl' Treasurer The Life and Times of the Freshman Class Polyfechnic life began for us on Sepfember fwenfy-fiffh of lasf year: all hope il' will end lafe in fhe May of fhirfy-nine. The insfrucfors did nof ease us info our -Tasks: we sfarfed hauling maximum loads 'rhe day school sfarfed. Of course our knowledge of fhis insfifufion was nor very broad on fhaf day. Our firsf fasfe of Poly life was on SEPTEMBER 20, l935 when we were fold whal' fo do and how fo do if. All of us admif 'rhaf The insfifufion was very kind and undersfanding of our momenfous froubles. Mimeographed in- sfrucfions were handed fo us by fhe ream. There really was noi' a chance for any of us fo go wrong. Youfhs whose names ran from Abafe fo Yosenleirfz mef and made friends fhaf day. During fhe nexf few days we heard lecfures, our bodies were examined for sfrucfural flaws, and fesfs were made fo clefermine sfress and sfrain, bofh corporeal and cerebral. Ah, buf fhose firsl' few days were ideal. Then on SEPTEMBER 25, I935 work began. Everyfhing was inaugurafed fhal' day. Chem labs opened up and swallowed helpless frosh, fhe mechanical drawing class wenf info acfion. and some of 'rhe boys sfarfed fhe ferm by having an overdose of Physics. The frafernifies senf fheir sly messengers slinking up fo us wifh lhe quesfion, ''Howaboufcomingoverfofhehouselodayandhavelunchwi'rhus?'' The emissaries fried fo look disinferesfed by looking down af fhe floor, buf fhey somewhaf resembled hungry wolves. Everyone was surprised when Poly's Lafin-leffered frafernify, fhe A. K., failed 'ro invife us ''focomeupandhavelunchf' We were fold lafer 'rhaf fhe A. K. house is very exclusive and smug. Apple dinners are noi' given fo everyone. On OCTOBER 9, I935 , Ogle Winsfon Link came info each and everyone's life. The desfinies of fhe class immediafely changed. O. W. L. began fo painf fhe romanfic picfure of class sfruggle. We found fhaf Polyfechnic possessed a newspaper on Page one hundred fwenfy-eighf ? POLYWOC OCTOBER 9. I935 when The TirsT issue oT The POLYTECHNIC REPORTER was disTribuTed. The ediTorial So You're a Freshman acTually made many OT us pause and ponder. Some Teel ThaT The ediTorial should be repeaTed each year Tor The beneTiT oT The new sTudenTs. Then came The big evenT. IT was a cool and sunny day and The daTe was OCTOBER I8, I935 The greaT evenT was The Scraps. When we ran ouT onTo The Tield and saw no newsreel men we were disappoinTed, buT our Teelings were sooThed by The TacT ThaT There was a woman in The audience. Things began To look inTeresTing. BoTh Teams lined up. They made Tor The cenTer of The Tield. Discs were grabbed up and dumped inTo The barrels. When The dusT seTTled down our side had TiTTy-Three discs and The Sophs had only TorTy-Three. We cannoT say who won The panTs rush buT our TooTball Team was on The goose egg side of a score reading six To noThing. lT was a good TighT and we Tound ThaT The Sophs are noT as bad as They look. They are worse. Following This evenT came anoTher greaT day. On OCTOBER 25, I935 we held The elecTions. CandidaTes had already been nominaTed and The big rnomenT was aT hand. Fred Sawyer was elecTed presidenT and he immediaTely purchased a spike-sTriped suiT and an imiTaTion brass waTch chain lvery largel so he would look like a Brooklyn poliTician. l-le also made eTTorTs To acquire a prosperous look and a poT belly. There was a biT of Trouble in The elecTion because Too many men received nominaTions. ln The end Joe Weiss was vice-presidenT. l-le TorThwiTh wenT Freshman, Group A Page one hundred TwenTy-nine l i THE T936 Freshman. Group B inTo seclusion. Kramer boughT a neckTie so he could wipe his secreTarial pen, and Reyling immediaTely Tried To look lean so he could Till his Treasurer's iob. SeH'er- sTrom was elecTed To The STudenT Council and Emmens was senT To look Tor a seaT on The Board oT ConTrol. On The same day, OcTober 25, when The cool evening breezes began To sweep BrookIyn's moors, The TaculTy greeTed The boys wiTh a Tew words, a luscious smile, and a crushing handshake. 'Twas a verra verra pleasanT evening even if The Sophs did beaT us by a score oT 42 To 2I earlier in The day. ThaT was The indoor Scraps and The less we say abouT The resulTs The beTTer Tor us, Tra la. From ThaT day on, Things began To pick up. We were handed marks on a paper resembling a buTcher bill. LecTures, smokers, and beer parTies came Thick and TasT unTil ChrisTmas. Then came The exams. Again we musT say, The less said The beTTer. ln February our class was enlarged and hisTory repeaTed iTselT. Today The February Freshman are also seasoned Poly men. The class oT Three and Three Times Three is Threading iTs way Towards The making oT bigger and beTTer engineers-and men. Page one hundred ThirTy POLYWOC - -i,l-..1....L....-.l-- -7.- Freshmen Abalre.

The maTch was nip-and-Tuck all along, buf bad luck, as The wresfling manager complained, had iTs evil eye on The Team. The resulf was a disappoinfing final score of I8-I6. The Team did well considering The age and experience of Their opponenfs, buT lacking a l26-pound scrapper, were five poinTs in The hole before They ever sfepped ouT on The maT. OT The seven bouTs wresfled, Poly won four, including Two by pins. Slovi- kowski and FerranTe scored The pins, while Capfain Comberiafe and George Ayd won by The referee's decisions. ST.
