Here's the man w didn't feel like smiling— the guy who tickled your r when yo exam or post-mortem look—the fellow who always managed to find what you had carelessly lost.

But enough of that; let us start from the very beginning. We should all have started four years ago in 1944. However, with the war, sum- mer sessions, and ‘'stubborn'' instructors, nobody can remember when he started. Take Joe Minde who can remember the time President Roosevelt visited the school. (Teddy, that is!) And then there's Phyllis Turcott who stood on a supposed-nylon line for two hours before she found that she had passed three courses, got an A on a lab report, and been on the Dean's list for six terms at Pratt. Oh, but they were jolly days at dear old P.I. (we could easily say something here but no... ). Remember how Dr, Dixon instituted ‘'throw out week’ and tossed cut three pieces of junk before he found out that they were two students and a centrifuge? Then there was that day that Mary, the cleaning woman, whipped an instructor for daring to write on a blackboard. Remember Differential Equations with Professor Thompson. The class was told that it would have to be seated exactly on the hour and could leave ten minutes before the next hour. Two innocent chems'' tried this one day. Several shots rang out from a Confederate musket, and their bodies are now mute testimony as to the advisability of leav- ing Professor Thompson's class, ever!!
