CROWLEY, JOHN J. Shiek 3205 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, N. Y. Class Basketball ’24-’25 Class Pool ’24 Class Baseball ’24 Boxing Team ’24 Crown and Spade Club Shiek, the fellow who never uses the same name twice. He is lost now that Heflley burned down and has to be content with the Art School. We know that Shiek will be as successful in industry as he was in school, especially if he asks as many questions as he did in school. DE WITT, RUSSELL 115 Dudley Street, Dunmore, Pa. Varsity Baseball ’24-’25 Class Bowling ’24-’25 Southern and Western Club The mitt boy from the wilds of Pennsylvania. Varsity baseball star. As an active member of the Blue Shirt League, he has made rapid strides in Calculus, being able to recite theorems in his sleep. DE WITTE, HOWARD Howy 498 Hayward Avenue, Rochester, N. Y. Vice-President A. S. M. E. Ass’n Class Baseball Class Basketball Class Tennis Manager Crown and Spade Club With that braid-finished, cake-eating finish, and a smile that strives to emulate the spread of the perennial bow. A handsome, compelling, Nordic type. DELANEY, CHARLES E. Pop R. D. No. 3, Waterbury, Conn. A good hard-working fellow, always ready to help others. An ardent supporter of the basketball games and afternoon dances. He arose early in the morning because he disliked breakfasting alone. A baseball pitcher of rare ability. DREW, GEORGE A., JR. Farist Farm, Fairfield, Conn. Tells all the fellows he is from Bridgeport. He is a big boy with a heart as big as himself. His famous saying is “Man—look.” We would like George to tell us about holding her teeny- weeny hands. 26

CHMIEL, FRANK J. Chimel 65 First Street, Elizabeth, N. J. Class Baseball ’24-’25 Chimel, King of Swat of the M. E. Class. A hard worker who is always happy and gay. His pet ambition is to build Diesel engines and speed boats. The only one of the “Four Horse- men” who is free from women???? A regular fellow, liked by all. CLARK, EDWARD S. Worcester, N. Y. Crown and Spade Club Clarkie is a quiet but very likable young chap. Likes English and psychology best. He is the winning fox-trotter of the class. Ask Dot. Thinks he’ll go in for general merchandise. Look out, “Wooster.” CLAUSON, WALTER A. 313 Chestnut Street, New Britain, Conn. Nutmeg Club On Egypt’s burning, torrid sand, Out where the sun with warmth blinks; Alone he will with courage stand, And psycho-analize the Sphinx. COLE, RICHARD S. 7o9 South Walnut Street, Urbana, IIl. Class Soccer ’24-’25 Neighborship Representative Class Track Team and Manager ’25 Southern and Western Club A serious-minded student of pleasing per- sonality, but we have reason to believe that this still water runs deep. Owing to his night school duties, he attended the basketball games un- escorted. A radio salesman of no mean ability. COLEMAN, JAMES C. Mitt 150 Bridge Street, Waterbury, Conn. President Nutmeg Club ’25 Vice-President Nutmeg Club ’24 Assistant Manager Varsity Baseball ’24 Manager Interclass Baseball ’25 Mitt made a great many friends in and out of the S. T. He is the Steinmetz of our class and a wizard with the hyperbole. A great authority on brass tubing and radio. We hope his camera will gain him success in industry. Why didn’t Cap I ask him to make the picture of Grant’s ‘Tomb. 25

DRISCOLL, DOUGLAS Ju Lima, N. Y. Class Soccer '24 Class Track Manager ’24 Crown and Spade Club He’s neither sarcastic, nor homeopathic, His contortions of face are his fame; He's a real live wire, Of his jokes you don’t tire, And we're glad we know Ju just the same. EBNER, WILLIAM 934 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. This is the one man in the class about whom we cannot fashion a quip. He is strictly busi- ness and terribly in earnest and a Good Samaritan to those not having had a great deal of practical experience. Er ist ein gute junge! FALOTICO, VINCENT L. Jimmie 347 East 6th Street, New York City Class Bowling ’24-'25 Class Soccer ’24-25 Class Baseball ’24 A quiet, clean cut, ambitious student with a pleasing personality. Was very quiet around the Institute, but we have evidence of his being very different elsewhere. His favorite pastimes were—calculus, dancing, and the saxophone. FISHER, CHARLES E., JR. Put 60 Washington Street, Peekskill, N. Y. The inspiring village of Peekskill sent forth our curly-headed radio wizard who is always in search of “gup” shops and new book stores. For some reason he goes up the Hudson almost every week-end. We wonder why? “Put” is a con- scientious student and fully believes in helping the other fellow, even if he has to sock him a little to drive his points home. FITZGERALD, THOMAS F. Fitz 39 Carroll Road, East Hartford, Conn. Class Vice-President Varsity Baseball Class Swimming Class Bowling Nutmeg Club Class Basketball That hungry-looking boy (whether for food or not we cannot say) who deyastates opposition by the Ghandi method, “Papa loves Mamma it: 27
