cnnls vlncrnr Bnusu PITTSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS WHENEVER a number of individuals come together, one member of that group will inevitably become the outlet for the ideas of the rest. As Class President Brush has been our outlet for two years. Considering his natural ability to give orders and the possession of an almost unlimited amount of nerve, his position of Battalion Executive Onicer seems a natural reward for three years of fruitful labor, Probably very few members of the class possess Chris' business ability. He first showed this ability as a member of the Ring Committee, but it was not until he became Business Manager of TIDE Rnvs that he found an opportunity to give it full play. One of our mottoes has become, If you want a discount, let Brush buy it. His flair for business can also be seen in his work as boxing manager. And speaking of athletics, Chris did find time to earn two soccer letters and to captain the team this fall. All these extra- curricular activities might prove disastrous to an ordinary man, but apparently they just' act as a stimu- lant for Chris. His number two academic position seems to have suffered no hardship because of outside work.pAn associate member of the Jane Addams Club,', and a well-acquainted man elsewhere, Brush spends few liberty hours in Chase Hall. Full of energy and brains he is a welcome addition to any gathering, be it for business or pleasure. A very useful as well as pleasant sort of fellow to have around, Brush fulfills all the requisites of a good shipmate.
