JOHN JERNBERG “Johnny ” Instructor in Forge Practice, W. P. ., 1882 - Every year that “Johnny” stays here he is better liked than the year before, and he was immensely liked in 1882, so you can see what we think of him. He never calls anyone down, is never sarcastic, is always good-natured and jovial. From the first day, when he told us to get our steel up to a welding heat and tap it a few light blows, and we watched him heat it till it began to sparkle, and then pounded it with what seemed to us, all of his might, to the last, when we sat around and watched a pyrometer and a furnace, we enjoyed his course. John certainly knows everything to be known in his profession, and it is with pleasure and admiration that he will be remembered by the class of 1919. BURTON LINWOOD GRAY Instructor in Foundry Practice, W. P. ., 1910 - Mr. Gray has been manager of the foundry and Instructor of Foundry Practice since 1910. We first became acquainted with his splendid qualities when as Freshmen we were sent to the foundry with some of those shiny, black “crea¬ tions in wood.” Since then it has been a pleasure to visit him at odd times and be influenced by his sympathetic, patient disposition. We shall remember Mr. Gray for his pleasant smile and greeting as well as his devotion to the department for which he is responsible.
