PETERSON, KARL Y. Pete 29 Chapman Court, New Britain, Conn. Class Secretary ’24-'25 Varsity Baseball ’24 Class Soccer ’24 Nutmeg Club Pete is quiet—sometimes. Look out if he is, especially if he has a bandage on his face and an accompanying scowl. ‘There’s a mustache under the bandage. He protects his mustache as a hen protects her chicks. When he gets out—watch his speed. PINTAVALLE, JOHN L 129 Tenth Avenue, Schenectady, N. Y. Class Bowling ’25 John is a conscientious worker, but he caught the disease of seeing instructors after school. He can always manage an A in Math. His practical knowledge is sure to get him a good job. PLATT, HUGH Westfield, N. J. Hugh is the boy wonder of New Jersey. After he leaves school he is going to design a tug boat and show the marine designers a thing or two. In the machine shop he shows us all how to do our stuff. Tle’s a good scout and we wish him luck in his endeavors. POINT, CHARLES A. Cap 833 Ninth Street, Huntington, W. Va. Class Basketball ’24-’25 Class Baseball ’24-’25 Class Pool ’24 Southern and Western Club He comes from where they grow them big. A sturdy, likable soul with a perpetual smile. He has proven himself in class basketball and baseball. The fair sex have been watching him for two years, but someone in West Virginia saw his worth before he came up here. His favorites are four of a kind. RAFFINI, J. FELIPE Raff Bolivar 1347, Montevideo, Uruguay. A shiek in disguise. He has, in his career, employed those old Spanish methods of court- ship, combined in some degree with the methods of the man of the stone age. Just as he has the woman won, so with his weird method, he has overcome and conquered the work in engi- neering. 34

No wonder so many girls are missed from their homes there. Some one said Charles is going to be an engineer. Imagine the wonders he'll do with a face like that. Vague whispers have been heard around the theatres that Charles should have been named Jimmy and we don’t mean Walker. NIEMEYER, EDWARD A. 2725 Creston Avenue, Bronx, N. Y. Has been understudying Cap I. But some- where he learned all about Diesels and some- time he is going back to the sea and the exotic East when all good ships are Diesel drives. For the sea has claimed him as a lover and the lure of the blue that lies in her eyes will call him back to the ships that roam her bosom. And if they want Diesel-driven radio stations out East, here is the man with the necessary qualifica- tions in both branches. OLIVER, MANUEL A. Apartado 1, Antilla, Cuba Captain Class Soccer Team ’24-’25 The man from Cuba who came over on the Mayflower. Class Expert in Calculus, and a leader in all subjects. Doubles for Mr. Marsh.

Varsity Basketball Manager ’25 Assistant Varsity Basketball Manager ’24 Class Soccer ’24-'25 Crown and Spade Club Until January, 1924, he was the wild man of the Jersey sticks.

Class Pool ’24-'25 Crown and Spade Club Prattonia Representative He of the argumentative strain and the flowery phraseology, whose convincing logic is effective on everyone but J. P. 33

His motto is, “I did it with my little slide-rule.” RENNER, FRED H. Fred 44 Crosby Street, West Hartford, Conn. Captain Varsity Baseball ’25 Varsity Baseball ’24 Class Bowling From the wilds of West Hartford came the Steinmetz of Mathematics. He surely is a wiz on the ball field and the dance floor.

Favorite saying is, “Oh, where is my Anna?” SAMMOND, WILLIAM A. 725 East Thirteenth Street, Brooklyn, N. We Class Soccer Crown and Spade Club Bill and his “Damfino”; complements of each other. Man and steed comprise a unit of per- fect co-ordination and correlation. SCHMIDT, C. EDWIN Smitty oz Farragut Avenue, Hastings-on-the-Hudson, N. Y. The guy that put the haste in Hastings. A city slicker in a small town on the Hudson. We wonder what the attraction is that takes him home every night. SCHULTZ, EDGAR H. 209 Weirfield Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. He is helping himself and others through school, and to knowledge of the ins and outs of the chanticleer business. 35
