Three years ago this coming September, Bill Harris entered Tech with the Class of 51 and became a member of Room 202. Shortly before the close of the school year Bill experienced a serious illness which required operations. These helped him enough so that he was able to return to school the following September. As he had some freshman subjects, he was enrolled in Room 327 where he completed the year. This picture was taken during a pleasant summer spent by Gene Herbert, Bill Harris, and Dick and Ed Moll on Lake Winnipesaukee. ; Very shortly after returning to school this year, Bill became ill again. He left school, of course, and again underwent a series of operations. Just plain grit and determination have made Bill, through constant practice, able to walk again. Should he be able to return to school — and we are all hoping that he will — he would enter as a junior. This story may mean little to some of you, but to most of us who know and like Bill it is our tribute to his never-failing courage and a small token of our affection. Hurry back to Tech, Bill!

emer Dolores W. Ballou Shirley D. Barr Leon J. Bastien, Jr. Donald A. Bates Golly, do we have some sharp seniors this year! They stand out as do the high notes in our musical score. First, we have John Donovan, president of the senior class. John has the admira- tion of his classmates and teachers because of his pleasing personality and school spirit. Tech is proud of his speaking abilities, for he proved to be outstanding at the Model Congress. Of course you all know the seniors’ vice- president, Ted Dimauro. Besides this task Ted has undertaken the presidency of the band and vice-presidency of the Student Council. Another personality you must meet is Ann Elphinstone, the charming Miss the lucky seniors have for secretary. Ann has to her credit many extra-curricular activities including the office of News Editor of the Tech News. Concluding, we want to wish success to these outstanding Techites, Normand J.

Tech students with time off during lunch period to see Liberty Bell. As we listen to the Senior Sonata ever revealing the story of Tech, we become aware of its golden oppor- tunities. We Techites recently experienced one of these opportunities when we all had a chance to view an exact replica of the original Liberty Bell which is located in the old State House of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This privilege was granted to us by the United States Treasury Department. The bell was set on the back of a large truck on Elliot Street, and all students could see it during their lunch periods. There was quite a turnout of students to see the bell and it is small wonder when one realizes how interesting and unusual an event it was. The Liberty Bell has cast upon it this prophetic inscription: “Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” Many years after the bell had fulfilled its purpose by summoning the people together to listen to the old but inspiring message of freedom in 1835, it cracked while tolling for the funeral of John Marshall. It has since remained an object of veneration and will always signify liberty throughout the land. Indeed, the inspection of a replica of our Liberty Bell has proved instructive and timely. Norman E.
