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.

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

HALL, HAROLD E. South Millbrook, Dutchess County, N. Y. Harold, otherwise known as “Fuzzy,” comes from the wilds of Dutchess County. His favorite diversion is playing pool. His greatest ambi- tion in life is to understand Cap I. Knotty is very fortunate to have a right-hand man of such wonderful attainments. HALLANBACK, ALFRED H. Hal 453 Union Street, Hudson, N. Y. Class Bowling ’24-’25 Manager Class Bowling ’24-’25 A hard worker and a good student, possessing a pleasing personality which won for him many friends, not only in the student body, but also among the instructors. Possessed a wonderful eye for the alleys. Left job as a fire chief to be Dr. Minnig’s assistant. HAMMOND, WILLIAM M. 950 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. A thoughtful, conscientious student. Says little, thinks much. An ardent advocate of the age-old adage, “Silence is golden,” We wish him luck. HEDLEY, WALTER 118 First Avenue, Pelham, N. Y. Most of us think, with a sigh of relief, of June as a time when we will cease being only consumers and start being producer-consumers. So that when we learn that Walt contemplates still more school and an M. E. at the end, we are rendered dumb with admiration and wonder, HEISER, HYMAN 9431 75th Street, Woodhaven, N. Y. Hyman, always jovial, knows his stuff and lends a helping hand to the needy. One of his pet diversions is motoring on land and water, providing she’s along. 29
