3ti jWemoriam During the school year 1943 44, students and faculty at CSTC lost a true friend through the death of Thomas A. Rogers. Mr. Rogers was head of the chemistry department, a position he had filled since 1923. All who knew him will remember his cheery smile and friendly greeting. He was a kind and understanding teacher with an almost inexhaustible amount of patience. He was interested in the students and liked to chat with them. No matter what a student's problem was, help and encouragement could always be found if a student talked things over with Mr. Rogers. He was a man who was interested in the little things as well as the big things. He was always ready to listen and liked, to have students come in just to talk . His laugh was just as hearty when the joke was on him as when he was teasing someone else. Mr. Rogers was active in many things at CSTC. He was instrumental in getting the local Science club affiliated with the National Sigma Zeta society and was active in this organization until his death. Mr. Rogers took an active part on the committee which raised funds for the establishment of the Culver memorial library as a memorial to his predecessor in the chemistry department. He was chairman of the college social committee and in this capacity always had the students' interests at heart. For many years he was faculty adviser of the Iris. Besides his school activities, he was active in many civic organizations and in his church and Sunday school. We at CSTC miss Mr. Rogers. His was indeed a life well and fully' lived. 19
