BAKER, LOUIS F. Frank Commerce Street, Perth Amboy, N. J. Life Saving Class Swimming Crown and Spade Club ‘The boy from Perth Amboy. We often won- dered why he went home Wednesday after- noons. But now the mystery is solved. Be care- ful, Frank. Bring her around some time, we would like to see her. B ALTZ, LOUIS RODERICK Lou 11 Bayview Avenue, New Rochelle, N. Y. Manager Class Swimming Manager Saturday Trips Crown and Spade Club A charming and gentle fellow with the girls and a hard boiled egg with the boys. Very fond of soft drinks, such as coca-cola. We hope in the near future we will sit in a ring- side seat and see him use his skill on J. D. We predict that his great ideas about struc- tural engineering will bring him success. BELLINGHAM, JAMES 366 South Street, Newark, N. J. Jim worked and played the game of the school in great style. He averaged one home run a week. We wish him the best of luck as he enters his future work. BENEDICT, OTIS, JR. 1527 Von Storch Avenue, Scranton, Pa. “Battling Benedict” from the coal mines of Scranton. When inspirations are necessary, re- fer to the question mark over the bureau. We think it refers to Ho. Ho. Ho. A serious fellow in all his studies. If you don’t believe it, ask Mr. Carr. BLOUNT, HORACE EDWARD Rudy 147 Putnam Street, Hartford, Conn. Nutmeg Club Class Cheer Leader A hard worker, full of push and pep. Pulled us out of many difficulties in machine shop. Favorite debating floor is Mech. Lab. In fact we think he should succeed Kotty next fall. Main question: Is he or is he not married ? 23

ADAMS, MONROE 839 Monroe Avenue, Elizabeth, N. J. Those who have heard Adams’ knowledge on all questions pertaining to the fair sex, can- not help but mark him as a good mixer. Those who are intimately acquainted with his true self, know him to be a bashful, very timid boy from the wilds of Elizabeth. We all wonder why he does not go to Metuchen any more. ANDERSON, HENRY C. 112 Ward Avenue, Naugatuck, Conn. A serious fellow who has worked hard from the first day of school and never has quit. A traveler of note, who hails from Connecticut, but very much prefers to have people say he is from Pennsylvania. ANDERSON, OSCAR 12 Clifton Street, Fitchburg, Mass. Oscar, the cheer-spreader. His smiling eyes and sunny disposition has brightened the day for many a student. If it is nuts and bolts, screws and gears, Andy can answer the question that appears. ARCHER, STORM 530 East 138th Street, New York City The class aviator and model student of Pratt Institute—never absent, never late—what? Storm always gets there, however, and is one of the most popular boys in the school, especially with the girls of the Art School. He has one advantage over the rest of us; when he takes them for a ride, they can’t get out and walk. ATKINS, LELAND G. Blondy Box 182, Saltville, Va. Varsity Baseball ’24-'25 Class Basketball ’24-'25 Class Soccer ’24-'25 Class Track °25 President, Southern and Western Club ’25 A country boy who neglected to shake all the sod from his feet in his two years stay in the city. He couldn’t seem to tear loose from his liking for Virginia “Spring Water.” Blondy was a good ball player and a conscientious student. We know he will make good when he strikes out for the engineering field.

BONNEFOND, CLAIRMONT W. Bonny Hancock, N. Y. Class Social Secretary Athletic Editor Prattonia ’25 Crown and Spade Club One of the “blue shirters” from the O. W. Active and willing to help anyone. Electricity is second nature. The big M. E. dance speaks for his ability. Ambition—to understand what Mr. Carr is talking about. Pastime—checkers. BOUCHARD, ALBERT JOHN 11 Lewis Street, Winsted, Conn. Nutmeg Club A jolly good scout, plus the sort of stuff that is bound to succeed. A lover of the open spaces where men are men. But Saturday nights! Good-bye men! Ambition—to instruct Mr. Marsh in Calculus. BURKHART, WALTER Scranton, Pa. Hails from the coal district of Pennsylvania. Takes great interest in the Art School and his one great weakness is a fondness for the fair sex. A hard worker when it comes to Calculus. CAMPBELL, FRED G. Fred 28 River Street, Tuckahoe, N. Y. Although from the wilds of around Tuckahoe, this lad manages by fair or foul means to escort a few of the fair sex on the “EL” each day. Inspecting power plants is his chief hobby. Favorite saying: “Now this heah ” One of the “Original Four Horsemen” in the drawing room. CAVILEER, ALBERT C. Rusty 94 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, N. Y. Crown and Spade Club Class Swimming When better cars are made, Buick will build them, but when better Fords are built, Rusty will build them.
