FRANKLYN JOSEPH BERGEN, JR. Alpha Four Years at Taft Yale Four years ago Frank, who is better known to his friends as Tucky , entered Taftg since then he has become a prominent figure around school. During these four years Frank has done a great deal for his class and Taft by serving as President of the Press Club and Chairman ol' the Day Boy Committee. Entering Taft from nearby lVaterbury, Tucky has always ranked near the top of his class scholastically. Last spring found Frank out on the diamond, heeling the man- agership of Mr. Pennell's nine. His sincere effort and determination was rewarded at the end of the term when he was elected Varsity baseball Manager. Next year Frank will enter the halls of Yale, and we all wish him the best of luck both in college and in later life. lVe are confident that he will be as big a success as he was at Taft.
