GEORGE HENRY HAYNES Jinny AKE $BK 2E Altho Jinny can deal out paper for a quiz with amazing celerity, he is not a poker player. If he held the four aces, one could see certain facial muscles twitching, for when Jinny had something good in store for us, it is always preceded by this characteristic expression. But if Jinny failed to draw his card, we would see that expression that tells us that on the last quiz we showed only a bowing acquaintance with the subject. Jinny drew a full house when he drew us as Juniors. Our class was slightly larger than any of his previous classes, but Jinny lived up to his reputation as a teacher and did really teach us something. He is not only a good teacher, but one of Tech’s most enthusiastic workers. All his efforts are for a better Tech, and we are sure he will succeed. WALTER LOUIS JENNINGS Hughie “The Kaiser ? “The Kink ’’ “Pussyfoot” 2E When a man has garnered as many nicknames as has Doctor Jennings, it is doubtful whether his character can be traced by them or whether the multiplicity of aliases is a casting about for an elusive, chief trait. Acting on the former assump- eion, let us explain. “Hughie” is obvious,—the baseball fans could call a man named Jennings nothing else. He is absolute monarch in the Chemistry Department, whence his autocratic “The Kaiser,” which, since the late unpleasant¬ ness, was softened to the “King.” Corruption of appropriate names is the source of most nick¬ names, and Doctor Jennings became the “Kink” to the Chemists. “Pussyfoot” remains,—but any¬ one who has seen him slide into the Organic lec¬ ture room with those dreaded blue examination books hidden under his coat cannot fail to understand the origin of this pseudonym. 22
