Ransom E. Noble, Jr. Lois H. Blaisdell Faculty Advisory Secretary senior officers Robert Nelson Riger President, Senior Class Milo L. Wadlin Vice-President a note in passing It is quite obvious, even at a quick glance, that our class is absolutely remarkable. Our particular distinctiveness goes beyond the peculiar physical shapes of our heads or arms or other convexities. There is a certain spiritual qual- ity. Haloed with the light from the lamp of learn- ing (made vague by Brooklyn soot) we move with tilted postures, developed by the years of rich and lavish life in brownstone rooming houses. We breathe aesthetically. It is more than our keen reasoning, judgment, percipience, intelligence, and understanding, that makes us so capable. We simply ooze with talent— more talent per square student than any other senior class in the history of the Institute. We will be re- membered as the heterogeneous bunch of indus- trious, assiduous, enthusiastic students, who despite all odds, managed to stay six weeks behind in our assignments. Seriously, we will long remember the pleasur- able years on Ryerson Street. We leave with the greatest respect for Pratt and the most heartfelt thanks to the grand faculty. They have helped us to develop a discernment for things of value, to see instead of to look: They have taught us how to do a good job. Our exposure has been comprehensive and practical. With this sound foundation our tal- ents have ripened; we must make the fullest use of them. We go now to cross the bridge and enter the awesome, almost mythical ‘field'’ as plenipoten- tiaries of Pratt, and somewhere between starvation and the plenitude of success, most of us will spend our happy days. ROBERT NELSON RIGER President, Senior Class
