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

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

FRANCHINA, JOHN L. 45 Beckley Avenue, Stamford, Conn. Class Bowling, '24-25 Class Baseball ’24 The Stamford Flapper. His strongest weak- ness is the fair sex, and his favorite pastime is bowling. Favorite sayings are, “How much did you bowl to-day?” and “Did you finish the experiment yet?” FRANKS, EVERETT L. 10303 131rst Street, Richmond Hill, N. Y. Not very fond of the women? Nor a shining star in all sports, but a lad with the master key for solving that darned electricity. “Now Brother @ FRIDEN, NORMAN E. 837 East Street, New Britain, Conn. Class Basketball ’24 Nutmeg Club. So he hails from New Britain, Conn.? Quite a shock in his studies, especially in Calculus. His biggest difficulty is trying to get a collection of hair on his upper lip. He admires esthetic beauty, for they all seem to fall. GREBE, RUDOLPH L. 8834 189th Street, Hollis, L. I. GUTIERREZ, FRANCISCO Bolle del Pino, No. 234, Mexico City, Mex. Class Soccer '24,-’25 Baam! and Pancho scores another goal for J. M. E.’s soccer team. When he goes back to sombrero—chile con carne—hot tamale land, may he score on life as he did in soccer! 28
