SCARLET w LETTER. tioned in every line of the Targum, Crooks scurrying all over after his fraternity gossip, Hank Daum and his single gesture, Davids and Ricker and their crops of hair, Kaiser and his pipe, Newt Hall and his height, Kubach and his books with Latimer and his swagger not far away, Kempf and his Winchell-ishii mien, Jack Lewis and Linaweaver being literary, Frank Lowe and his little friend, Al Rochester in some movie house . . . asleep, Richardson and his boss, Hopkins, both going in the same direction, Jack Mason talking and Merrit being ghostlike; Nanos and Richdale side by side looking like the gibbon and the giraffe, Ruger and Temple under the Fire of the Targum, Schwenker and Charlie Smith both being very serious at the same time, Bill Sperling living at the library, Strauss and Sturgis over-intellectualizing about life, Al Twitchell, the Father and leader and, hnally, Shyster XVelch. Thus we have seen a few of the liberals . . . now for the specialists. There are some outstanding names among these men, as well as the names of some who were rather retiring in nature but well along the highway to scholastic success. Among our friends in the special fields we find Bruni, Buschhorn, Frank Griswold, Grower, Hemerda, Phelps, Truex and Winika whose names are familiar because of the gridiron adventures each had while he was here; perhaps the kinds of adventures that will amaze the students Who later will study under these men. The farmers are next with Kenny, Powers, Russell, West, Wlinters, and Wfright taking the leading positions on the campus . . . while the remainder of that small group finds itself neatly placed on the cross-town campus known, not as the Coopfl but as the Farm. Few of the biologs ever make print for extra-Curricular activity because of the absorbing nature of their courses, but George Irmish and uFlit Strassburger have been the exceptions which prove the rule. The chemist, Freet, is perhaps a better writer than chemist . . . at any rate he does write well. Then there is poor lonely Archbold in the Ceramics course he should receive honors all around. Now, for the last, we turn our image toward the engineering school where we see men such as Lou Meyer and Cudlin . . . outstanding men in their respective extra- curricular fields. We cannot forget the Granddaddy of that school, Ed Iverson, whos: geniality and Phi Jaken key will not soon be forgotten. Thus we come to the end of our retrospection and our time is up, we must pick up our work. where we left off and settle down to the business of living as we have learned to do on our campus. Yes, we will work hard, devote ourselves to the best of endeavors and always keep in the background a picture of the men with whom we associated . . . a picture that will be a fond memory and a wonderful inspiration. It is uHasta la vistnb . . . iiGoodbye.

SCARLET $ LETTfk WILLIAM C. CLOVER LOUIS HEMERDA, JR. L. HORTON VAN CLEFT Senior Ball Chairman Prelident Serrelary-Treamrer The History of the Class of 1935 tROBERT S. HOPKINS, JR.-Historiani HEN the explorers of the future wander over the ground upon which stood Rutgers University of the Twentieth Century, they are going 'to experience the thrill of seeing ghosts which will be the only remaining visages of what we seniors knew as classmates, Professors and a memorable campus. These ghosts will not annoy the exploring party; rather they will help them by pointing out Old Queens, Van Nest, Holy Hill, The Library and Neilson Field, while the familiar buildings and places men- tioned will be surrounded by a peculiar haze that will be impregnable to the pick and shovel of the explorer . . . that haze is the memory which we shall have when we are graduated. It is all so clear and so real today that it is difficult to believe that one year will make the haze begin to settle, yet it is inevitable. It is not the purpose of the historian to predict the future, so let'us turn our thoughts to the senior class as it now stands, 237 strong at the beginning of its last year as an undergraduate body, about half its original size. In it are the names of men that are known to every undergraduate, and names of men who have been self-con- tained for these four years . . . hardly selfish men, bashful perhaps, but undoubtedly creditable to themselves and the University. This is a sensible class, but what senior group is not sensible? We are confident, and is not that the characteristic of all seniors? We have made our individual marks on the Campus . . . now for our marks in the world outside. XVe can do it . . . and we will! In our new lives let us reserve some time in which to think about that which has gone on before . . . let us dream for a while about the University and the men with whom we went to classes and labs and lectures. Let us look back on the Proms and Hops . . . let us Visit the houses in which our friends lived. All that dreaming will enable us to be better men, for behind it is the feeling of security and conndencn which the University has given to us. Let us not forget that iiHello that was drilled into us at the beginning and when we see our friends in our dreams, let us say uHellon and hear the same in answer. If you forget the name that goes with the face you think of, turn quietly to this page and imagine Ashley doing his diving, Banyard cutting Dr. Whitman, Borgenicht and Cantor thinking up an argument for someone, Chance with his red hair, and Chizmadia and his red sweater, Clover and Collett being men-

SCARLET $ LETTER. HENRY KOCH ABELL Beta Theta Pi Liberal Arts 412 Seventh Avenue, Belmar Wlhen Hank is not hunting or fishing, he attends classes. We donlt mind that, but when he has to board his hound at the house, it becomes annoying. However, he has not neglected his social activities. Many a night you can find him riding about trying to locate one of those smooth girl friends. Despite this, he has been a good Beta and is admired by all who know him as a sincere friend.

When he has graduated he intends to go to South America and build the greatest steel structure in the world.
