MBO SUMNER KING BRYANT, A T A B.S. in Civil Engineering Nashua, N. H. “Chipper” Nashua High School. From the banks of the Merrimack comes this diminutive young chap who is as immaculate as an Arrow Collar “ad.” When in the company of members of the fairer sex, “Chipper” is said to be a King among queens. CHARLES EDWARD BUTTERWORTIL B T A.B. and S.T.B. in Theology Newton Highlands “Butsy” Roxbury Latin School; Staff artist, Weekly, (2, 3, 4); Artist, Elephas (3); Pen, Paint and Pretzels. For twenty years “Butsy” roamed from coast to coast. At one time under the glare of the spotlight, at another under the critical eye of the City Editor, he has finally lingered long enough to enjoy the blissful peace and rest “in this college life.” PHILIP EDWARD CASSIDY, I B K B.S. in Chemistry Dorchester “Phil” Dorchester High School. When you can ' t find the answer to your problem in a text book trot around to see Philip. Formulae grow on him like weeds in a flower garden. KENNETH HODGSON CASSON, B T B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Lynn “Ken” Huntington; Tufts Ambulance L T nit in France (1); Wireless Society (1); Rifle Club (2); President, A. S. M. E. (4); Mandolin Club (3); Assistant Leader, Mandolin and Glee Clubs (4); President, Musical Clubs (4); Class Banquet Committee (4); Chairman, Class Day Committee (4). The vision of Columbus does not compare with “Ken’s” fore¬ sight. He already has plans for a Tufts-Wellesley coalition and ha.s purchased a bungalow lot on the Medford clay pits. “Ken” picks a wicked mandolin and has a mean “wah” when he leads the club. JAMES RAYMOND CLANCY B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Brookfield Jim Brookfield High School; Weekly Staff (1); Assistant Manager, Crew (I). Prophecies are a gamble, but we venture to predict that this stalwart son of Brookfield will be a ward politician. Bon vovage, “Jim!” 25

MBO GEORGE WALTER BELL B.S. in Engineering Somerville “Buck” Somerville High School. “Buck” hasn’t been seen around the Hill much since he came to college, as he has been kept busy working on the newest accessory for Fords -— a noiseless Klaxon. CARL FREETIOF BERGSTROM B.S. in Civil Engineering Lynn “ Bergie” Lynn Classical High School. Handling young folks is “Bergie ' s specialty. His main ambi¬ tion is to get the infant generation to attend church. “ ’21” would have claimed this voluble gentleman, if the war hadn’t interfered. WILLIAM HERBERT BINGHAM B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Somerville “Bill” Somerville High School; Cap and Gown Committee, (4). In order to be sure of graduating “Bill” is serving on the Senior Cap and Gown Committee. When he isn’t hard-pressed by a steam problem “Bill” may be found shuffling the pasteboards. BERNARD ARVID BORGERSON B.S. in Economics Monson “Borgy” Palmer High School; Chapel Monitor, (1, 2, 3, 4,). Learned scientists tell us that “Monitors” are often found seven feet in length. We look at “Borgy” and exclaim, “Darwin, you are right!” Goddard Chapel will be deserted when “Borgy” leaves the Hill. RALPH CLARKE BRADLEY, A T B.S. in Philosophy Hanover, Pa. “Brad” Winchester High School; Pen, Paint and Pretzels. If Socrates or Plato came to Tufts, they would surely make a call on “Brad.” Ralph forsook the Colby gridiron for the footlights of the Jackson Gymnasium. As an instructor in Psychology, he strikes terror in the hearts of the “co-eds.” 24

IRWIN CHARLES CLARE B.S. in Chemistry Jamaica Plain “ Id y” English High School. “Well, Idy Clare!”—The prosperity of the furniture business is attributed to “Idy’s” experience, gleaned from four years of inten¬ sive study of East Hall means and methods. MELVIN JOSEPH COHEN, d B K B.S. in Economics Somerville “Mel” “Cuckoo” Somerville High School; Class Smoker Committee (2); Chairman, Class Dance Committee (2); Dramatics (2,3); Weekly Staff (3); Associate Editor (4); Commencement Usher (3); Board of Editors, JUMBO (4); Organization Committee Jumbo Bond Drive (4); Secretary, Pen, Paint and Pretzels. We had high aspirations for this young hopeful until heart trouble attacked him unawares at Simmons. Someone took him in, purely out of pity, and he has been “your devoted” ever since. A strange mixture of the ridiculous and the sublime, “Mel” acquired P. B. K. as easily as we inherit false teeth! ARTHUR MILES COLLIER, T E I B.S. in Biology Brooklyn, N. Y. “Art” Salem High School. “Art” is a whirlwind with the female species, alluring them with his genial personality. He is “Tard” Fay’s right hand man, and also holds a prominent place in our Rogue’s gallery. (The A.M. does not signify a degree!) STEVEN COLUCCI A.B. in English Woburn “Petie” Dean Academy; Class Banquet Committee (1); Class Football, Class Baseball, Class Basketball (1, 2); Varsity Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Varsity Football (1, 4); Varsity Basketball Squad (4); Glee Club (4); Sword and Shield. “Petie”, the sweet warbler of the Glee Club, has wounded many hearts with his tearful notes. He is also the cause of the “ump ' s” warbling that sweet refrain—“Strike one, strike two, strike three, the batter’s out!” HAROLD OSCAR CONGDON, A T B.S. in Civil Engineering “Connie” “Spider” Springfield Technical High School; Weekly Staff (1); Glee Club (1); Manager, Class Tennis (1); Rifle Club (1); A. A. F,. (1, 2, 3, 4); Secretary, Evening Party Association (4); Staff Artist JUMBO (4). Besides being an Engineer, “Spider” has literally woven an amorous web, with threads from all the girls’ colleges and a few final strands from Jackson. Must be his cartoonistic temperament! 26
