EARNEST AUGUSTUS TUCKER, B. C. E., Lynn, Massachusetts President of the Civil Engineering Society. Editor in Chief of the Civil Engi- neering Quarterly. Member of the Faculty. Assis tant author of Plain Survey- ing Field Manual. Tucker leaves us to go into the contracting business. We cannot think of him as being anything but successful. EUGENE GELLONA PIOVERA, C. E., Santiago, Chile Member of Civil Engineering Society. Our only representative from the southern world. Gellona is one of our very best students. He is also a great lover of music; an expert in bridge-design, and one of our most clever mathematicians. We can see no reason why some day he will not be the President of Chile. FRED C. HARMS, B. C. E., Grafton, Wisconsin Member of Civil Engineering Society. A quiet, hard-working young man, whose two aims in life are to overpower Campbell ' s Calculus and to prevent the fair sex from planting kisses on his rosy cheeks. His friends may well be proud of him for his many sterling qualities, and we predict for him a life of many works well done. FRANK J. SKALANDZIUM, C. E., Waterbury, Connecticut A member of the Civil Engineering Society. This gentleman ' s greatest trouble is his name. But with all that he is a good fellow. For the benefit of those who come to Valpo in the future he has left a thesis on the construction of a new grandstand. STANLEY E. STODDARD, B. C. E., Shortsville, New York As important as the stats he represents. Stodd came from Shortsville, New York, in 1912. Baseball manager, member of Civil Engineering Society, member of Temple Society. He is the grand old man of V. U. baseball, the boy that put the base in baseball. Besides a ball player, Stoddard is a student of rare ability. FRANKLIN T. RICHARDSON, B. C. E., Frankfort, Kentucky Member of Civil Engineering Society. Rich is a native of the blue grass state. He is a jolly good fellow and enjoys a good joke. If you want an opinion on white cats, ask Rich — he loves ' em. Incidentally, he is quite a connoisseui of antique furniture. WILLIAM WINFIELD CLARK, C. E., New York City, New York Member of Civil Engineering Society, Assistant City Engineer. This young con- sulting Engineer hails back East. H was an expert in all his work, from building sewers to running a gas engine. Clark goes back to New York to enter the field of politics. AUGUSTIN W. MALINOVSKY, C. E., Kovel Volenscoi, Gubermy, Russia Member of Civil Engineering Society. A big-hearted, hard-working and con- scientious student. He came all the way from Russia to join us. His work will, perhaps, be structural design and we predict for him the maximum success.

' S|||iEEEtolIglBag BENJ. H. CROSLAND, C. E., Rochester, New York Member of Civil Engineering Society, Member of Western Society of Civil Engi- neers, Assistant Baseball Manager, Business Manager of Engineering Quarterly. With apologies to Riley: Cross was ' Warrened ' against the woman, ' Nell ' was ' Warrened ' against the man, And if that won ' t make a wedding; Why, there ' s nothing else that can. JOHN ALEXANDER MACDONALD, C. E., Putnam, Connecticut Member of Civil Engineering Society, member of baseball team 1913, member of Temple Society. Some people feel that John has besn deluded, but be that as it may he has no time to feel blue because hs is never without an engagement. Mac is another of our good roads men. FRED KELLAM, B. C. E., Arcadia, Indiana Member of Civil Engineering Society. Kellam is one of our brightest students. He is liked by everyone in the class, and we know a great future is in store for him. His wonderful appetite for novels is only exceeded by his extreme fond- ness ( ?) for girls. Fritz is surely some ladies ' man. Never mind, Fritz, you have our sympathy. EDWARD GUSTAF LARSON, C. E., New London, C onnecticut Fair product of Sweden. Trackman, baseball, football, general all-around man- ager. Manager-in-chief of Engineering Quartsrly. Member of the Civil Engi- neering Society. Lars has helped the spirit of the class to develop in big bounds and we wonder what 1915 will do without him. He is noted for his humor and is a great favorite of the girls. RALPH M. PALMER, C. E., Osterdock, Iowa A member of the Civil Engineering Society. He is also a member of the Bachelors ' Club. But there is a reason. Ralph is patiently awaiting the day when he can return to Minneapolis. That ' s the reason. We have not a more careful student in our class and none who deserve more success. CLAYTON D. McQUISTON, C. E., Valparaiso, Indiana President of Civil Engineering Society, Advertising Manager of Engineering Quar- terly. Mac has a habit of being out of town on Sundays. Just why — no one but Cross ever knows. Clayton is a natural mixer who cannot help but succeed. GEORGE WALTERHOUSE, B. C. E., South Bend, Indiana Old George came h3re with Old Frank, whenever that was. An all around athlete; baseball, track, football. Member of Civil Engineering Society. A man any college would be proud to claim. A good student and hard worker. George was the managsr of the Civil Engineering Co-ed Department. FREDRICK B. BENSON, C. E., Grand Rapids, Michigan Member of Civil Engineering Society. Cal or Calculus Benson is the class authority on piers and pile-driving. Like the rest of the class he is a model young man who studies hard and stays in at night. 62

He has also proven his efficiency with a certain Montana Company and we understand it is a life job. LEO AYAN, B. C. E., Adana, Turkey, Asia Minor Here is another European whom we are proud to claim. Ayan speaks five languages, but says he is a Frenchman. He works hard and is here at every roll-call. LELAND SANPORD INSCHO, C. E., Binghamton, New York Another New Yorker who has been with us constantly for two years. He has been Treasurer and Secretary of the Civil Engineering Society, also Assistant Exchange Editor of the Engineering Quarterly. Inscho loves the girls, but claims there are none like the one back in New York. This is his only fault, and we predict a great future for him in the Engineering profession. IVAN D. KARAIVANOFF, B. C. E., Bolbogde, Bulgaria Another country heard from. Ivan is a friend of everyone, and one of our best mathematicians. We have seen him do little else but work. In fact, he is always on the job. HARRY KARL JOHNSTON, C. E., Lyndonville, Vermont A member of the Civil Engineering Society. He has a pleasant word for every- one he meets. Johnston rooms on the outskirts of town and specializes in heat- ing and ventilating. He never makes a fuss and always has his lessons. ARTHUR W. NELSON, B C. E., Alvwood, Minnesota Member of Civil Engineering Society. This blue eyed youth from Minnesota ranks high in the list of our bright students. Nelson has a fondness for music, his favorite song being, The Wearing of the Green. He spends his spare hours lassoing bugs and tutoring His zoology student. VICTOR H. BELL, C. E., San Diego, California Member of Civil Engineering Society and Western Society of Civil Engineers. Victor hails from California and is a booster of everything from the West. He is the latest thing in fashion, also an expert on diamonds and the precious metals. JACOB F. PLACHTA, B. C. E., Sietesz, Galicya, Austria Member of C. E. Society. A quiet little fellow who always had his work in order. He is known by what he does and not by what he says. O. P. Kinsey ' s chief electrician. ALBERT DUBOV, B. C. E., Rock Island, Illinois A member of the Civil Engineering Society, and one of the quietest men of the class. He is a first class student from whom we expect great things. JAMES MARNAN, B. C. E., Kansas City, Missouri Member of Civil Engineering Society. James does not have much to say, that is, he is not very talkative about the house; but like the ships that pass in the night, he is missed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Oh, you South Lembke! He goes there to study Graphic Statics. 64
