P€DDL€R 1932 HARRY PHILLIPS DAVIS, ’90 The death of Dr. Harry P. Davis, on September 10, 1931, removed from the electrical ind ustry one of its most distinguished contributors and from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute one of its most illustrious sons. Practically the entire span of the forty-one years since his graduation from W. P. I. was spent in the service of the Westinghouse Electric Manufactur¬ ing Co. He rose from a humble position in the detail engineering department to the post of vice-president and director. To his manifold duties with that great organization he added a host of other services, and performed them all with the indomitable energy which early marked him for success. To all the world he was known as the “Father of Broadcasting,’’ for it was he who first saw the vision of transmitting programs for entertainment and com¬ mercial purposes. He became chairman of the board of directors of the Na¬ tional Broadcasting Company when it was founded and held that post up to the time of his death. Harry P. Davis was born at Somersworth, N. H., on July 31, 1868. He prepared for W. P. I. at the Worcester high school and entered with the class of 1890, graduating from the course in mechanical engineering. After grad¬ uation he took a trip to Europe, returning tp the Institute as assistant in physics, earning an additional degree in electrical engineering. Five years after going to East Pittsburgh, Mr. Davis was placed in charge of the detail engineering department. He became manager of the engineering department in 1904, and vice-president in charge of manufacturing and en¬ gineering in 1911. Dr. Davis and Dr. Frank Conrad, assistant chief engineer of the company, opened the first radio broadcasting studio, station KDKA, at Pittsburgh in 1919. The results of the presidential election of 1920 were sent out over this station, and the entire field of broadcasting developed from it. Dr. Davis was also a pioneer i n the field of television. In 1928 he was present when moving pictures were first transmitted through the air from the West¬ inghouse laboratory and predicted that the commercial transmission of pic¬ tures would soon be practical. He was the first to demonstrate the use of the photo-electric cell, or “electric eye,’’ in February 1930, operating an automo¬ bile in New York by giving it commands over the telephone from Pitts¬ burgh. On June 29, 1892, Dr. Davis married Miss Agnes F. Taylor of Worcester. Mrs. Davis, a daughter, Mrs. Fouise D. Rockwell, and a son, Harry Ransom Davis, survive. In his service to his college Dr. Davis was always generous whether the call was for time or financial assistance. He was elected a trustee in 1920, when alumni term membership of the board was inaugurated. His term ex¬ tended until 1924. Last February he was nominated for a second term ex¬ tending to 1936. At the Commencement of 1930 he was awarded the honorary degree of engineering. Last May he went to the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., for what .proved to be a very serious operation. He re¬ covered sufficiently to return to his home in July but his strength was not suffiicient to overcome the strain of the operation. Page nine P€DDLeR 1932 THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief Lenges H.

He had left his native city and the halls in which his early college days were spent to enter the naval service of his country as a cadet at Annapolis. He came back laden with honors won in that service, especially during the sto rmy years of America’s participation in the World War, when he was the able and brilliant Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, the youngest American naval officer ever appointed to that high office. His record since, as administrative head of the college, the guiding force in the development of its earnest student-body, has proven him to be a man richly endowed to render service to his country in times of peace as well as in times of war. As President Earle’s father was the architect who planned most of the early buildings at Tech, it is not surprising that his son, on entering upon the Presidency, should be greatly interested in a building program the first step in which was the erection of Sanford Riley Dormitory. He also secured donors for the swimming-pool, and remodeled the old Chapel in Boynton Hall, making it a place suitable for the accommodation of the daily chapel service s, which he revived after a lapse of many years. His deep in¬ terest in the appearance of the Tech buildings led him also in the direction of elaborate plans for the beautifying of the campus. It was Prsident Earle, too, who secured funds for the establishment of the Eiiller Lectures, and the Yankee Ingenuity Matriculation Scholarship. He provided for the new Aeronautics Division of the Mechanical Engineering Department, and for a new series of lectures in geology. He is now perfect¬ ing plans for a unified course in business administration, which will be offered for the first time next spring. With all these achievements to his credit, it is no wonder that Prexy has won our love and admiration. He may be sure of our continued loyal sup¬ port, as we go out to joint the proud ranks of Tech Alumni.

' HERE are few men who have taken the so-called business sciences, Eco¬ nomics and Government, and have not had to strain their ears to hear what was going on in Jinny’s lectures. However, there was at least some wisdom or subtle humor which all the students managed to hear, during his lectures, and thoroughly en¬ joyed. No man at Tech could consider his courses complete without a thorough understanding in the fundamentals of Business, Economic and Government pro¬ ceedings. Who knows, maybe Jinny will Jinny find a way out of this present Business depression and put Old Man Prosperity on his feet again.

OOMBSIE is probably the first man in the faculty to register an impression in the minds of newcomers to the school. We have but two years of his courses, but will always remember him as the leader of the cultured side of the school, as he Coombsie classifies the English Department. Professor Coombs is also a sort of prophet, as he keeps a set of co-efficients by which he predicts each students success in later life. After hearing some of the tales of his youth, we give Coombsie the honor of being the faculty brute. However, hard as he is physically, he has a warm place in his heart, and lends a ready hand to everyone who proves himself worthy.

M ANY of us were unfortunate enough to become acquainted with Professor Smith a little prematurely. After one of his timely conferences we usually followed his wise suggestions. It was in kinematics that we found his austere attitude hid a very enjoyable sense of humor. The old maxim that “the guilty know no peace” is ably carried out. There is no limit to the number of tripping questions that he is able to ask, but after at least four futile attempts at answering, we were usually rewarded with his characteristic, “Have you said that before?” HOWARD PARKER FAIRFIELD ATQ Instructor in Machine Drawing and Shop Work, Case 1891 -99; Machine Construc¬ tion, W. P. I., 1899-1914; Assistant Pro¬ fessor, 1914-19; Professor, 1919-. pA FAIRFIELD with his machine-shop is a combination that all the seniors will miss very much when they leave the institute. The ability and the pleasantness with which he manages his department makes Pa a man who is admired by all. Some of us are deprived of the opportunity to have a course in machine-shop prac¬ tice, but his kindly attitude and his way of lending a helping hand has reached over the Hill until we know what a fine gentle¬ man this professor is. We have noticed too, that the Alumni Association has a sincere friend in Pa Fairfield, and we know that as the years go on we shall always be welcome to drop into his office for a friendly chat and for any assistance that he may be able to offer. “Pa’ Page tweny-jour P€DDLeR 1932 CHARLES METCALF ALLEN TBII iiH 2AE Professor of Hydraulic Engineering B.S..

Instructor in Mechani¬ cal Engineering, 1894-1902; Assistant Pro¬ fessor of Experimental Engineering, 1902-06; Professor. 1906-09; Professor of Hydraulic Engineering, 1909-. HARLIE ALLEN is a man whom all enthusiastic students in hydraulics are anxious to meet, but in spite of the fact that he may be a wizard in his line, he would have considerable difficulty in prov¬ ing it by his lecture work, were it not generally known how far his accomplish¬ ments have extended. As far as cigar win¬ ning ability is concerned, those to whom he supposedly lectures on the subject of hydraulics are positively convinced as to this accomplishment, as he spends almost his full time telling of his progress along that line. Despite his faults, Charlie and his lab in Chaffins have gained a fine reputation for the school in experimental work in famous hy¬ draulic projects. WALTER L. JENNINGS A.B., Harvard, 1 889. A.M., 1890, and Ph. D.. 1 892; Assistant in Chemistry, 1890-92; Parker Bellow at Univ. of Berlin, 1893-94; Assistant Professor of Chemistry, W. P.

The words, “A-a-a-a-h, Mr. Soanso, you didn’t do so well on the last quiz; what seems to be the trouble. ” are enough to make the heart of any Senior Chemist leap with fright. Doc rules his domain in the approved czarist fashion, the iron hand within the velvet glove, and there’s no de¬ nying that he gets results. Even as all great men. Pussyfoot has his weaknesses. For instance, the mere mention of a pleasant evening of intelligent conversa¬ tion, plenty of rocquefort cheese, and a stein of beer, is enough to bring tears to his eyes and a sigh of regret for the good old days. HEN into “Kaiser Charlie Page twenty-five P€DDL€R 1932 ARTHUR WILLARD FRENCH C.E., Dartmouth, 1 892: Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, 1 895-98; Professor, W. P. E. 1 899-. ' HOSE who do not come in contact with Prof. French miss a great deal of sound advice which he gives to his classes in a year. Pa French is one of those men who believe that the only way to edu¬ cate college students is to give them plenty of work and drive them until it is done. Prof. French is known far beyond the bounds of the Institute for his ability as a Structural Engineer. In him we found a real teacher, and a real Engineer, whose methods, though thoroughly practical, were theoretically sound. The success achieved by graduates of his department seem to substantiate his theories and beliefs. “A. Wilmer” A. WILMER DUFF B.A., Univ. of New Brunswick, 1884, and Univ. of London, 1887: M.A., Univ. of Edinburgh, 1888, B.Sc., 1 892, and D.Sc., 1901; LL.D., Univ. of New Brunswick, 1920: Professor of Physics, Univ. of Madras, 1 889-90; Univ. of New Brunswick, 1 890- 93; Purdue Univ., 1 893-99; W. P. I.. 1 899-. H ERE is just another proof that good things come in small packages. Some of the most interesting features of the Sophomore year are the lectures and dem¬ onstrations put on by A. Wilmer and his pal, Edwin. There isn’t a happier person on earth when one of his experiments goes through as planned, but he is one of the first to join in the laugh when things don’t go so successfully. His popularity among the students is remarkable for the man at the helm of such a dreaded course as Sophomore Physics. Making the acquaintance of Dr. Duff is one of the pleasant events of our life at Tech.

Those were the first, last, and only intelligible words we ever heard from that source. It wasn’t really Punk’s fault, though, for he did try ter¬ ribly hard to make us understand. A. W. does know a lot about his subject and en¬ joys expounding it, but he has so many more interesting things to talk about, like his European trips, his experiences in the World War, and wine, that he finds it hard to stick Physie Chem. Oh well, even if we didn’t learn much chem¬ istry, we had a lot of fun, didn’t we. Punk?

He is not a pedagogue, even if he does like to use six-syllable words, but is just a wise man helping a bunch of not-so-wise men get the knowl¬ edge they are seeking. We will all re¬ member Dinny, not for the difficulty of his courses, although they’re all plenty hard, but rather for his eminent fairness and helpfulness. Another thing we won’t forget in a hurry, is the time he forgot something and lectured for ten minutes with his head in a drawer, until he found the diagram he had forgotten. Among other things. Dinny holds the endurance record for exams, some of his finals having lasted from nine A. M. to three P. M. If, as he hopes, he can better that record this year, he is expected to apply to the A. A. A. for official recog¬ nition of his ability. Page twenty-seven P€D L€R 1932 CARL DUNHAM KNIGHT %=. TBn AXA Professor of Electrical Engineering B.S., W. P.

CCJ ET’ S have a diagram of connections.” This inimitable little phrase can only be associated with C. D. Knight. Not only does this maestro wave his baton over the ammeters, voltmeters, and watt¬ meters, but he is also the fashion plate of the E. E. Department. Rain, snow, in fact none of the elements can dampen his good will nor muss his appearance. Always cheerful, neat, and instructive, this indivi¬ dual approaches the ideal. Behind his glasses, a merry twinkle dances, which re¬ veals his good nature and enthusiasm. The latter has been manifested at many of the school affairs, it is reported, and he is known as one of the athletic teams’ most loyal supporters. “C.

I., 1905-07; Pro¬ fessor, 1907-. pROFESSOR Richey is an unknown quantity to most of the students, as he has classes with only a select few of the Senior Class. The majority of his time is spent run¬ ning around the country solving momen¬ tous traffic problems. His extensive re¬ ports on the grade crossing right here at Lincoln Square have made him well known in Worcester. Traffic problems are not Richey’s only trials, as he has to solve all the problems of the Interfraternity Coun¬ cil, of which he is the chairman. The credit for the success of our present rushing system is due to Prof. Richey, as it was he who devised the present plan.

HIS rotund and jolly individual who has been properly designated with the name Rip through his incessant dronings in transmission, is a fit counterpart of the famous Rip Van Winkle of Catskill fame, only Rip’s foothold is in the E. E. Design Room, Here he subtly and graciously eases in the intricacies and wherefores of distribution systems. Ever polite, prompt, neat, concise, and complete will give a word caricature of Mr. Adams. Every year he leads the intrepid electrics into the Berkshires to inspect the N. E. Power Sys¬ tem. Foolish, smart, in fact all questions he will answer completely and as many times as they are asked, and this alone should give a very clear idea of how he has gained his popularity. Rip CHARLES JOSEPH ADAMS A.B.. Amherst, 1896; Instructor in Mod¬ ern Languages, W. P. I., 1908-13; Assistant Professor of English, 1913-3 0; Professor, 1 930-. ERE is a prof among profs, good old Pop. With consummate skill and ease, he painlessly grafts tender shoots of literature to the somnolent trees of Fresh¬ man brain shells. Like a true doctor, he first administers the ether of a monotonous sing-song or the local anaesthetic of a quiz. When after a quizzical glance over his spectacle, he observes his patients to be in a state of coma. Pop commences the mass operation. The obstacles surmounted, he resumes his throne and probes gently for the awakening by a brisk crackling of the morning paper and a curt—“harumph.” To restore the humor of the sleepy class, the great doctor applies a stimulant of pithy anecdotes and perhaps a pun. Pop reigns supreme by popular vote in the undergraduates Utopia.

Sophomores are rather dis¬ illusioned as to the possibility of ever pass¬ ing that subject, but frankly speaking, things are far from being as bad as they are painted. When all is said and done, B.A.’s steam courses will be remembered as a bright spot in the weekly schedule. Pro¬ fessor Read is famous for his non-conduct¬ ing, non-breakable, transparent, leakless, non-frictionless cylinder. “Dutchij” If we have succeeded in a small with Dr. Morton Masius.

JT IS without the slightest hesitation that we say that we absorbed more under¬ standing in Dutchy’s presence than else¬ where in the same period of time. A re¬ markable, intellectual man who has an original sure-fire method of teaching is the combination that has won his courses a reputation. “Nothing hurts like the truth” is more than pure fiction. It is humiliating to be called by implication a nitwit, but such tactics spur more men on to honest effort than lackadaisical aloof¬ ness. Undoubtedly the most important lesson we hope to have learned at the In¬ stitute is to think logically for ouselves. measure, we may place much of the credit Page thkty P€DDL€R 1932 FRANCIS WILLIAM ROYS Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Head of Department B.S., W.

Department through his famous course of Materials of Con¬ struction. Erom the start his classes were made very interesting because of his old New England philosophy. After two weeks we were thoroughly familiar with the why and wherefor of every detail of construction in the M. E. building. Along with our Senior year came Dynamics where Spider proved that E=ma has more elusive twists and turns than a Vermon t “Spider” highway. It was in this course that we became acquainted with Spider as the exponent of the eighteen inch slide ruf that never is wrong. Spider’s requirements are definite; his criticism is fair that is all anyone could wish to find in a professor. ARTHUR JULIUS KNIGHT 0YO Professor of Civil Engineering and Super¬ intendent of Buildings and Grounds B.S., W. P.

E LIKE to think of A.J. as the com¬ panionable man with a black cigar in his mouth. Behind that smoke screen there is a prof, wealthy in knowledge and experience. His careful supervision of the Tech buildings and campus are always in evidence. Camp Stephenson is his king¬ dom where he rules an interested bunch of prospective civil engineers, with none of the friction of the ordinary taskmaster, but with the harmony of a “regular fel- “A.J.” “Shnmp” low’s’’ guidance.

C. are worth their weight in tuition merely for the psychology embodied in them. His everyday speech places the class at its ease. Even “Miss Hellen Damn’’ knows that more knowledge is absorbed when the student is at ease than when in a state of tension. Information regarding actual practice in G. E. and the Bureau of Standards was always more tempt¬ ing than the regular routine of the textbook. “Now if these connections are all right, this will work.’’ Poof, and an¬ other circuit breaker does its duty.

H ALE way through our Freshman year brought Analyt on us and also Doc. Immediately we were impressed by his abil¬ ity to impart a tremendous amount of knowledge with little effort on our part. Anybody who cannot appreciate a joke on himself deserves no place in Doc’s class. A word to the wise, never yawn in his class unless you are prepared to recite. Un¬ doubtedly it is his knowledge of probabil¬ ity that makes him unbeatable in Scot. Doctor Masius can testify to this. Doc says that always is a very long time, but nevertheless we wish him always the respect he deserves. ‘Dec” Page thirty-two 1932 SAMUEL JAMES PLIMPTON — — Assistant Professor of Physics Ph.B., Yale, 1905, and Ph.D., 1912; Loomis Fellow, 1905-06; Assistant in Physics. 1909- 12: Instructor, 1912-13; Johns Hopkins, 1913-14; W. P. I., 1914-19; Assistant Pro¬ fessor, 191 9-. OC’S mastery of the mysteries of phy¬ sics is so profound that we as students were carried along in the wake. We al¬ ways felt that he was not an unapproach¬ able genius, but just another student. There is something distinctive about the way Plimp conducts his classes. He does not have his proofs pigeon-holed in the back of his head, but starts at scratch with the rest of us. There is no limit to what Doc can do with a few elementary concepts and integral signs. Plimp’s stories of his vast number of experiences always carried us far from the drudge of Sopho¬ more Physics and we have learned that it was with a great deal of difficulty that Doc forced himself to return to teaching after many exploits.

P. I., 1916-. ' HEN we look at Doc we are led to believe that trite saying, “The little man does the most.’’ Verily, here is a man who has his fingers on a multitude of details. Throughout the college year Doc is the mogul of the gymnasium and all it represents. Dictating with a firm hand from his private sanctuary, he mobi¬ lizes and directs Tech’s gladiators, and as a side line managers the Tech Book Store for the benefit of everyone. Now that he is married, we wonder who does the dic¬ tating at the Princess Apartments. “Doc” Page thirty-three P€DI L€R 1932 GLEASON H. MacCULLOUGH @Yn Professor of Mechanical Engineering B.S., W. P.

While on leave, he has been taking interesting graduate work at the University of Michigan. Always a versatile instructor in the M. E. Depart¬ ment, Mac will be primed for even higher efforts upon his return. His absence from the city has been conspicuous to the fre¬ quenters of Wesley Church, where he is accustomed to officially conduct worship¬ pers to their pews. Incidentally Mac was connected with the design of this edfice. He will next return fall to continue his splendid operations in the M. E. Department. “Happy without his newspaper would be peanuts.

We sometimes wonder whether we are taking English or Math when in Happy’s class, but that inevitable quiz suddenly tells us that it is math. His classes are strictly formal and everything goes off like a dress rehearsal. Happy swings a pretty clever tennis raquet, and we often see him on the courts keeping the old avoirdupois within the proper limits. He is also one of the basketball team’s most faithful supporters.

' HE Colonel’s knowledge of his course is inexhaustible, and the way that he treats it is something of which to be proud. He is one of our most amiable professors, which may be the reason for his classes in machine design proceeding so smoothly. If all design were as simple as he professes it to be, eningineering would be a snap. “Why goodness gracious, it’s the simplest thing imaginable. There is absolutely nothing to it.’’ If you have any doubt about it stop the Colonel some day as he goes dashing around the M. E.

How many of us can ever forget that September morning when we first met him, wearing white flannel trousers in the classroom? Many of us have felt the sting of his characteristic smile when we answered dumbly to some of his exacting questions. Bill is one pro¬ fessor that appreciates the students’ trials and tribulations. “Bill” Page thirty-five P€� DL€R 1932 HARRIS RICE Professor of Mathematics B.S., W. P. I., 1912; A.

There it was complete, that hellion of a problem we had considered hopeless. The book’s answer as usual. Is the book never wrong, we wondered? Doesn’t Ricey ever get stuck? He was never buffaloed to our knowledge. Such a prof we will always remember. ‘Herb” HERBERT FOSTER TAYLOR 2AE Skull B.S., W. P.

It is none other than Herb Taylor. It is to him that we owe our gratitude for his untiring work in the handling of alumni affairs. During our four years on the Hill we occasionally glimpsed Herb, hustling back and forth, ever on the go, always with the interests of Tech uppermost in his mind. Those who did come in contact with Herb were always impressed by his warm congenial¬ ity.

He and his dog are insepar¬ able companions and many a man has been saved by spotting the dog in time. His activities on The Hill are numerous and many wonder how he keeps so cheery with all his trials. Ham is the first man we see when we come to Tech and his warm, hearty welcome has made many a scared Freshman think this isn’t so bad a place after all. His avocation on The Hill is teaching in the Electrical Department, where students find him a friend as well as a professor. “Ham HOBART HALLETT NEWELL TBn ATO B.S., W. P. ., 1918; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, 1 921-28; Assistant Professor of Experimental Electrical Engineering, 1928-. PARKS’ dry wit and inexhaustable good nature make him one of the best liked professors on the Hill. No matter what the subject is, there are always plenty of humorous remaraks forthcoming to add interest to the course. His practical pointers make the most disinterested sit up and see that he isn’t wasting his time after all. And who ever saw this man lost his temper? He seems to have enough patience to share a bit with some of us who are less fortunate. Besides his teaching ability, Newell is also a radio expert, and he serves in the capacity of consultant for some of the large broadcasting stations in this vicinity. “Sparks ' Page thirty-seven I P€DDL€R 1932 “Pinkie KENNETH GERALD MERRIAM 2H ®Yn S.B., 1 922; Instructor in Mechani¬ cal Engineering, Univ. of Maine, 1 922-23; W.

Although he flunked a certain course once and seems to think there are others who should do the same, he really is not the hard-boiled person he gives the impression of being.. Actually Pinkie is a right good fellow, even though at times he does like to pull someone’s leg by waxing egotisti¬ cal when demonstrating the ease, precision, and speed of solving some problems.

J7ROM our first glimpse of Jerry he im¬ pressed us as one who knew what things were all about. Erect of stature and straightforward in bearing, he typifies the engineer with military experience. The Major, as he is sometimes called, is as precise and logical in his teaching as his manner and appearance would indicate. His doctrine for the Sophomore civils, that precision should be consistent with pur¬ pose, is easy to accept but difficult to prac¬ tice. One is lead to believe that at Camp Stephenson Jerry makes himself accessible to all the campers and is a good fellow generally. This year has been touring Europe on his Sabbatical Leave and will return next fall to impart much new information to the civils. Page thirty-eight P€DDL€R 1932 CARL FREDERICK MEYER TBn 2H ex B.S..

However, when he finally gets the Sophs straightened out they find him fairminded, and anxious to help them become real chemists. The Juniors have given him the title of “The Whitest Man on the Hill,’’ and he rightly deserves it, for no one is fairer when a student is willing to study. “Tombstone Page thirty-nine I 1932 FREDERIC RAYMOND BUTLER SH TBn Assistant Professor of Chemistry B.S., W.

The smallest man on the Hill, with an enormous voice. The voice in this case typifies the man. Doc is big in every sense of the word. With all “Any” his interests outside, he always has time to stop and talk anything over with his students. In his two years here Doctor Atwood has made a wonderful suc¬ cess. We hope that as his years here increase that he remains as indispensable as he is now.

He came here from Leland Stanford, where he established an enviable reputation in the field of electrical engineering. Things have been moving at a fast pace since he took over the leadership of the E.E. De¬ partment. The electrics appreciate that they have in Professor Morgan a man who has great ability as an instructor. We hope our New England climate will continue to agree with him. so that he may be with us for a long time. Page forty-one P€DDLeR 1932 INSTRU-CTORS Burt BURTON LINWOOD GRAY Instructor in Foundry Practice Instructor in Foundry Practice, 1910-. RAY pounded the elements of good foundry into our heads, during our earlier days here at Tech, in such a way that they will always be with us. His story of the mold that was so large that when the cope was finally put in place, a workman, who had been inside, crawled out of the sprue, is an annual oc¬ currence. His frequent inspection trips made the whole course very pleasant. His ever-present stogie and his manner of saying, “Gentlemen, if you will,’’ should give him a permanent place in our memory book. WALTER WILLIAM MONROE Instructor in Pattern-making, 1912-26; Instructor in Pattern-making and Drawing, 1926-. I JNDENIABLY Pop is masterfully proficient in his drawings and patterns. Moreover he has a sure method of imparting a portion of his skill to his stu¬ dents. The rest depends on the fellows themselves. One would wonder if Pop’s skill has no limit, for each succeeding class carries away a modicum of skill, yet Pop’s handiwork remains consistent. We shall always have tucked away in our shells, the mental picture of this little gentleman wielding his mighty red pencil. “Pop” CARL GUNNARD JOHNSON Instructor in Forge Practice Instructor in Forge Practice, 1921 VETER pursuing Carl’s course in heat treatment for several years, we found that we were still trving to discover what it was all about. All we had to show for our exposure was a few terms like sidify, aggygate, segygate, and pacific gravity. None of us ever doubted that our mighty son of Thor was very proficient in his field, but we regret that we were unable to assimilate a consummate knowledge of the art. “Carl” Page forty-two P€DDLeR 1932 IVAN EDWIN BIGLER Instructor in Physical Education Athletic Director, Juniata College, 1913-15; In¬ structor in Physical Education, W.

He is not content just to coach teams, but manages to find a lit¬ tle time to play a little baseball and golf himself. Every spring he does a successful job cavorting around second base for the Worcester Ball Team. How can one fail to remember how he always sits on the bench with his knees tucked up under his chin and with a cigarette in his mouth? “Pete” WILLARD ELLIOTT LAWTON N ' T Instructor in Physics B.S., W.

Many are the tales of woe arising from the Juniors in P. Lab, and there is suspicion that the cause of some of these is Sis. On the whole, though. Sis is much better liked as time goes on. He always timed his quizzes to the minute, but, on the other hand, he would sit down and pa¬ tiently explain the intricacies of an experiment by the hour. Sis still likes his cider and doughnuts, and his season ticket to the Plaza is no secret on the Hill. CARL WILLIAM LARSON Instructor in Mechanical Engineering Northeastern, 1 923; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, W. P. I., 1 923-. ' 7 ' E EIRST collided with Mr. Larson during our Freshman year in Mechanical Drawing classes, and some crash it was, for no matter how particular we were with our drawing plates. Wolf always had many suggestions and changes to make. We next met Butch in Sophomore Steam, and there got our first taste of a marathon course, but he was a sym¬ pathetic instructor, and made the running easy. In spite of the mask of Butch and Wolf, we have found in him a real friend in the Mechanical Engineering Department. “Butch” Page forty-three PCDDLCR 1932 “Brownie” EDWARD CHOATE BROWN Instructor in Mathematics A.B.

' HE name of Silent Brown to those who have had him in any of his math courses, means much. His modesty and classroom tactics will long be re¬ membered. This modesty seemed to fit him in stature, but we wonder where he carries all his mathematics. One thing is evident. Silent’s one con¬ sideration is another’s feelings. It is rumored that .Silent is a piano player. If he is as good at the piano as he is in the classroom juggling figures, how about a tune sometime. Brownie? LOUIS WINDSOR RAWSON B.S., W. P.

N°7 satisfied with merely getting an education here at Tech, Rawson took up the difficult task of imparting wisdom to the students following him. Although we did not get to know him until we were Seniors, most of us saw him, running in and out of the Washburn Shops, puffing on a cigar, and won¬ dered just what his connections with Tech might be. However it was soon found out that Organization and Einance was an entirely new side of business, at least as far as the Mechanics were aware from their previous engineering training. “Rawson” JOHN HAMILTON WHENMAN B.M.E., Northeastern, 1 926; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, W.

UERE is one man in whom we san see only one defect, and that is his desire to get in “that quiz’’ before the end of the hour. With his trusty old pipe, and his congenial atmosphere, Clyde cer¬ tainly makes a lasting impression in the minds of all who know him. With his ever increasing knowledge concerning the subject, it would be a safe gamble to say that Hubbard will be the next successor to Char¬ lie Allen as the czar of the hydraulic world. “Clyde ARTHUR JUSTIN STAPLES Instructor in Mechanical Engineering B.S., Univ. of Me., 1 927; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, W.

We have one bit of constructive criticism to offer, however, which we feel if taken would make quite a difference in the at¬ titude of the class. The students have the idea all through the course that he is not interested in finding out what they know, as much as what they don’t know. We believe that the relations between class and instructor would be for the better if he could give the better impression, because he certainly knows h’s subject. EDWIN HIGGINBOTTOM A.B., Clark Univ., 1926; Instructor in Modern Lan¬ guages, W. P. I., 1927-. JT IS a pleasure to work for, or with a fellow like Higgy. In the classroom, as on the soccer field or basketball court, he is ultra fair and there is no doubt that everyone concerned gets an even break. He has two great passions in life, one of which is foreign languages and the other is to play a good game of squash. As an example of industriousness, he has few rivals. When not coaching soccer or improving his game of squash, he is either deciphering Old Por¬ tuguese or on his way to Canada to enlarge his supply of snappy ties.

We’ve finally found a fit as- sistant and possible successor to Punk Ewell. “F. A.” fills the bill perfectly. He is the only other man we know of who knows so much and teaches his students so little. Nevertheless he deserves a lot of credit. He really tries terribly hard, and even when a question from a student unnerves him so that the perspiration stands out on his lip, he does not “pass the buck’’ to some other instructor, but stands his ground and explains to the best of his ability. It takes a good man to help instruct in a course about which he knows nothing, as is the case “Dick” with F. A. in Physie Chem, lab. HARRY BEJAMIN FELDMAN B.S.. W. P.

H ARRY Feldman, short, dark, self-possessed, the man who always knows, is one of the most popular instructors on the Hill. He is a favorite not only with the chemists but also with the freshmen, to whom chemistry becomes an open book under his guiding hand.

DON is extremely human in spite of his wealth of knowledge. It is this trait of unpretentiousness that assures his popularity in and out of the class¬ room. Always obliging and interested, Don has captured a potent spark of personality that should be the envy of his fellow instructors. The ease and assurance of his explanations breed understand¬ ing, confidence, and interest. Such a combination as¬ sures a brilliant future. More power to you, Don. Page forty-six P€DDL€R 1932 J.

P. I., 1 927-. ' HIS dapper instructor, besides being proficient in both French and German, has an inclination toward rhythm and its presentation in the form of music. As the faculty advisor for the band and or¬ chestra, he has instilled better activity in each organ¬ ization. In the classroom he appreciates a delicate situation as well as we do, and so gains our apprecia¬ tion and favor. As a newly married man, Fitzy has changed but little, unless we note his still greater zeal and activity. “Fitzy” CLAUDE K. SCHEIFLEY (pKT H2‘I Instructor in German A.B., Univ. of Pa., 1928; Instructor in German, W. P.

He plays bridge during the day and pinochle at night, and great indeed is the event when one is found who can beat this “card shark” at either. He teaches German to embryo chemists and finds Freshmen the better students, for the Sophomores know too much. “C. K.” entered Tech with the class of 193 2, and has been through many experiences with them. PAUL RICHARD SWAN AM Instructor in English and General Secretary, Y. M. C. A. A.B..

JN THE early part of our quivering freshman year, we always felt that we could turn to that con¬ genial secretary of the Y for assistance. As time went on it became more and more evident that we were not wrong in our assumption. Paul can be found almost any morning at 9:45, standing in the doorway of the chapel, recruiting the wayward freshmen as they rush past from classes. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to have worked with Paul, have found that he has the key that makes committee jobs easy. “Paul” “C. K.” Page forty-seven PeDDL€R 1932 FRANK W.

Day after day he can be seen patiently coach¬ ing his charges along in order that they might better themselves. Being a master of the art, he can readily teach by getting in the pool and demonstrating first hand. Frank has become a very popular instructor on the Hill, and it can readily be seen that this achievement is a product of his own doing. Frank ft SEMEN ARSENIEVITCH LEPESHKIN Instructor in Mathematics M.A., Columbia Univ., 1927; Assistant in Mathemat¬ ics, Brown Univ., 1 927-29; Instructor, W. P. I., 1929-. JT IS a novel and decidedly broadening experience to take a math course with Semen. Different methods of approach, with special emphasis on deri¬ vations, lend variety and interest to his mode of presentation. His “lettle queezes” are revelations to the unsuspecting students. The ease and rapidity of Semen’s blackboard manipulations are the envy of all onlookers. A midwinter pastime of this in¬ structor is skating. With a dexterity that must come from long experience, he glides over the ice in long, sure strides. Semen “Ray WALTER RAYMOND DEVOE Assistant in Pattern-making, W. P. I., 1924-30; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1 930-. WORKMAN is known by his chips,” and so through chips most of us came to know Ray. Being Pop Monroe’s right-hand man, he has to act as the go-between for the class and Pop. Ray really has ability, and if given half a break it would not be long before he really did things. His ability does not lie solely in pattern-making. Almost any time after a basketball game at the gym, he may be found doing the “Ritz” or the “Drag” to the music of the Boyntonians. His moustache-com¬ plex is something to be considered, too. Page forty-eight P€DDL€R 1932 STANLEY HERBERT EILLION TBn 2H B.S., W. P. I., 1930; Instructor in Civil Engineer¬ ing, 1 930-. C. E. Department’s prodigy is making the grade in high. In the last two years we have witnessed the gradual transformation of this bril¬ liant student into an enlightened instructor. Having been through Tech’s mill just recently, S. H. appreci¬ ates the difficulties to be surmounted in his courses, and can forewarn and advise the unknowing Sophs of the pitfalls around the corner or on the next page. Besides all of his classroom endeavors, this fellow is reputed to be acquiring a finger-tip knowledge of worldly wisdom. We hope that he soon will be the social light that he tries so hard to be. “5.

ROOKIE certainly fills the bill for the “Great Big Man from the South.’’ He is not only broad physically, but mentally also. Those who have had the opportunity to have Cookie in class all agree that he will go to any length to clear up any point in question. Although he is a quiet, soft-spoken fellow, there is no doubt of future success for him. He has advanced rapidly as an instructor in his two years here, having risen from a drawing assistant to hand¬ ling classes with the more select upper classmen.

Nu¬ merous wires tangled all over the floor, leading to jack-boxes, shunts, switches, and eventually to some generator. In the midst of it all Robbie would smile and when asked if the connections were O. K., inevi¬ tably answered, “Well, what do you think?’’ With such a helping hand no wonder the course became so simple. Robbie has certainly made a name for him¬ self and we hope that he keeps up the good work. “Leo” Page forty-nine Pe DLCR 1932 “Al” ALBERT JAMES SCHWIEGER icrx nKA nrM iiae ahz B.A., Hamline Univ., 1 928; M.A., Clark Univ., 1 929; Assistant in Economics and Sociology, Clark Univ., 1928-29; Fellow, 1930-32; Instructor in Economics, Univ. of No. Dakota, 1929-30; Eco¬ nomics and Government, W.

He came to us last year from Minnesota, and soon convinced us here at Tech that here was one whom we were to greatly appreciate and admire. Al cer¬ tainly knows his Economics and Government, but when it comes to wearing apparel we look to him for what the well-dressed college man of today should wear. DONALD ROYAL SIMONDS ATD 2H Instructor in Mechanical Engineering B.S., W. P. I., 1 930; Instructor in Mechanical En¬ gineering, 1 930-. T ON SIMONDS serves in two capacities here at school, one of them being instructor, and the other patron at various class banquets. Rumor has it that he is much better in the latter role, but as only a select few of the Seniors have any connection with him in class, that may be too broad a statement. Simonds must be credited with having a typical en¬ gineering mind, as is illustrated by the numerous at- attachments that he has made for his car, and he is also connected with a new design of home building, the construction of all-metal houses. “Donsie” “Bernie L.” BERNARD LEIGHTON WELLMAN TBH THS Instructor in Mechanical Engineering B.S., Univ. of Ill., 1 930; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, W.

' ’OT satisfied with the work he accomplished dur¬ ing his four years at Tech, Charlie returned to continue the good work where he left off. Almost any time Charlie can be seen instructing the be¬ fuddled lower-classmen in the different operations of the machines in the Washburn Shops. It does not take those who come in contact with him long to firmly believe that his chief interests are to help the promising Mechanics all he can. Eor the first year as an instructor Charlie certainly made an enviable start. “Charlie” ARTHUR MOTT TARBOX 0X TBII B.S., W. P. I., 1 928, and E.E., 1931 ; Instructor in Physics, 1931-. J EPARTING from its usual course, the Physics Department has added a smooth instructor, who signs himself A. M. T. Eor one who has just begun teaching, he certainly knows a great deal about the course and is not lacking in willingness to acquaint others in the peculiar workings of such. His disserta¬ tions on Error Calculations are both entertaining and instructive, and it is to cause wonder just where he se¬ cured that fund of knowledge he uses to explain many of the vague things that the P. Lab course produces. A. ERANCIS TOWNSEND, JR. ©PA TBn 5H Skull Instructor in Mechanical Engineering B.S., W. P. I., 1931; Instructor in Mechanical En¬ gineering, W. P. I., 193 1-. Jl ' WILL take some time to get used to seeing Frannie in the role of instructor, but if his accom¬ plishments as an undergraduate are to be taken as an indication of his future, he will certainly be a suc¬ cess. Those of us who have been lucky enough to have had him in a course will agree that there is no better combination of instructor and friend. It is indeed a pleasure to have at least one instructor who does not strike terror into the hearts of the students. “Frannie” P€DDL€R 1932 WARREN RICHARD PURCELL B.S., W. P.

FTER spending four very enjoyable years, with a little studying on the side, at Tech, Bim finally condescended to help out the Physics department and watch over those students eager to learn the mysteries of Physics. What he is lacking in height is more than made up for in his personality and willingness to help. All those who come in contact with him soon become victims of his contagious good nature. ‘Bim” JOHN MATTHEW PETRIE Graduate Assistant in Chemistry B.S., W. P.

After two years of acting in the capacity of graduate assistant, he was awarded his master’s degree and an instructorship. Eor the past year Pete has been pounding chemistry into the heads of the Ereshmen, one of the toughest assignments on the Hill. This doesn’t seem to bother him much, however, and so we may soon expect to see him piloting upper-classmen through the shoals of advanced courses. “Matt” “Cunnar” GUNNAR EUGENE HOLLSTROM A.B., Dartmouth, 1930; C.E., Thayer School of Civil Engineering, 1931.

His first appearance before Tech’s critical audience was at the fall Civil camp in Chaffins. The Civils said, “Thumbs up, he’s O.

Our secret ambition is to catch Stan and Gunnar on a party some night and to determine for our¬ selves which is the king social lion. Page fifty-two P€DDL€R 1932 WILLIAM WILLARD LOCK, JR.

' HIS is the second yeear that Bill has been playing the role of instructor in the Electrical Engineer¬ ing department. His unassuming manner, and per¬ sonal interest, soon have the many new students in¬ quiring as to who he is. Thus Bill has fitted smoothly into the machinery of the E.E. department. Whether registered on a voltmeter or an ammeter, his con¬ genialness and interest in his work are both shown to be one hundred percent. “Bill f t Al ALLAN GUSTAE ASHTON Graduate Assistant in Chemistry B.S., W.

Outside of this one little idiosyncrasy, Al is the perfect instructor, always helpful and cheerful, and never once losing his temper, even with the worst of us. Dame Rumor has it that Al likes a little fun himself when not in the classroom, and that his Chrysler has been seen bounding over the streets of Worcester in the early morning hours. Of course, playing in an orchestra is a good alibi, but knowing Al, it’s pretty hard to believe. RUSSELL V. CORSINI iAE TBn Graduate Assistant in Chemistry B.S., W. P.

J USS may never set the world on fire as an in¬ structor, and few of us who know him can imagine him ever becoming a chemistry prof, for he is entirely too sympathetic and tender-hearted to be¬ come one of those exacting individuals who yearly take their toll from our ranks. However, we may be wrong, as Russ has been duly impressive with the underclassmen in his lab classes, and has kept them well in hand. Besides instructing the uninitiated in the mysteries of chemistry, Russ has also served the tennis team well in the capacity of coach. “Russ Page fifty-three PCDDLCR 1932 t Hoop” LESLIE J.

H OOP is not very well known among the student body on the Hill because he spends most of his time splashing around out at Chaffins, but in spite of his damp activities he is far from being a dampen¬ ing influence on his associates. Although our first impression was not very good, because it was his first time to teach hydraulics, we soon learned what we suspected at first. Those who work with him have got respect and liking for this somewhat shy, but ambitious instructor. HAROLD S. RICE B.S., W. P. I.. 1 922; M.S., M. I.

J ICEY hasn’t been here long enough for us to get really acquainted with him yet, as he is only on the Hill a few hours a week. However, those of us who have met him have found a very pleasant per¬ son. He has a new and unique method of dodging questions whose answers he doesn’t know. When¬ ever one of them comes up Ricey says, “Let’s take that up next time. There’s only a few minutes left and I’ve got a little job I want you to do for me.’’ And that spoils another whole day for the Senior Chemists. Page fifty-four W.P.I ■ P€DDL€R H 1932 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1932 Four Years A.D. (Almost in Darkness) ' XTAY back in the fall of 1928, there assembled at Tech some 205 representatives of ' ’ the great American youth. This group of embryo engineers was, in four short years, to go down in history as another of Tech’s great classes, namely 1 932. Where did they come from? All parts of the globe supplied this class. Why did they come? The reasons were probably as numerous as the men themselves. How did they get here? By cars, by trains and even by the well known method of bumming. But what matter all these things now that they are here? Tender partings and fond farewells, childhood sweethearts and maternal care—all are things of the past as College calls this great American youth. College—a word that from early childhood has signified ’’life”; and now one and all are about to begin their own investi¬ gation of life!” Who can tell at this time what these four—or even five or six—years are to bring forth in the lives of these men?—Only time can tell. The Freshman caps and the Freshman rules—just to be expected of College, and reli¬ giously worn and religiously followed,—at first. And soon came the upper classmen. A few at first, but suddenly the campus seemed covered with men whose practiced carelessness and ease proclaimed them as more than Freshmen. And in the personage of a certain species of life commonly known as Sophomores—came misery to the class of 1 932 for a short while. (Just long enough for the class to get organized). Songs and cheers were but a few of the causes of our misery. But soon classes were started, and we settled down to what we then thought was the real purpose of our stay at Tech. On Friday night, the Freshmen found their first chance to really get acquainted with the upper classmen when the Y. M. C. A. held its annual reception in the gym. What a thrill to hear the big” men of the school! And what a bigger one to be able to hear them and shake hands with them afterwards! But probably the best remembered part was the cider and doughnut rush as soon as the speaking was ended. Inasmuch as no group can accomplish anything without a leader, we elected A1 Kelsey as temporary chairman of the class to guide us in our struggles with the Sophs. Those were the days when pushball was unknown to Tech, and we gained our first vic¬ tory over the class of ’31 in the paddle rush. Even our opponents admitted it was a victory for us. During the fall we received the Goat’s Head—a future white elephant for the class—from the Juniors. Under Captain Whitford’s guidance, we made the best possible use of lemons and resin to gain another victory over our rivals when we pulled them through the pond. Having already won the track meet decisively, we decided not to discourage the Sophs too much, so we let them win the soccer game, while tieing them in football. As usual, rushing came around that fall, and for a while ' 32 was king. After looking over the houses and hearing all the pretty speeches, we made our choices and then started in making up our lost sleep. At the Y carnival, we continued our victory string when Doc Covell picked a cast to repre¬ sent Julius Caesar” as it was never before pictured. However, this act drew the approval of the judges and a victory for ’3 2. For this term we chose Fred Whitford as president, Ev Eish, vice-president. Doc Covell secretary, Linn Lockwood, treasurer, A1 Kelsey, historian, Lou Green, member-at-large, and Rog Hager, auditor. Soon—too soon so it seemed—after Christmas vacation, we suddenly discovered that it was time for mid-year exams. What a scare for some of us! But after a week of headaches and blue books, we found that most of us had managed to survive somehow, and we started our second term with vows to apply ourselves better during that half. This time we again chose Ered Whitford and Ev Eish to guide the class while Chick O’Brien kept our notes, and Linn Lockwood again looked after the class finances. Rog Hager continued as auditor, while Bill Richardson started the class history, and Lou Green was chosen member-at-large. Dancing will out—in spite of all, at times music and its charms draws almost everyone, and so the dormitory held a dance—for Freshmen primarily. This first venture into the social column by the class was a complete success in every way. Continuing our rivalry with the Sophomores, we scored an impressive victory in basket¬ ball, but lost the swimming meet by two points. During the spring there started a series of disputes over the Goat’s Head which was eventu- Page fifty-six P€DDL€R 1932 ally to lead to a new type of competition for it. We first displayed it from the window of an airplane; but to settle all disputes, we later tried again from a motorcycle, and this time the Sophomores succeeded in capturing it. At the last assembly of the year, Bill Asp was awarded the Skull trophy given to the man in the Freshman class who has done the most for Tech, while Don Putnam received honorable mention. And then came finals again: although we thought we had learned our lesson at mid years, we suddenly realized that again we had idled too much in many cases. But then—a little concentrated effort, a few good guesses, and the week was over. We could now call ourselves Sophomores. Thus ended our Freshman year. Looking back we found that we had placed men in every branch of athletics and in every other activity possible, besides having a goodly number of victories over our Sophomore rivals: and as we left for our vacation, we realized that we had made a good start on our sojourn at Tech. A frew brief months and September was upon us again. Some of our more in¬ structing members returned in time to start the Freshmen on their songs and cheers, but more just escaped paying the late registration fee. Sophomores now—What is expected of a Sophomore? Why he must instruct the Freshmen. So with a little concentrated effort we proceeded to teach the class of 1 93 3 its songs and cheers and its place on the campus. In the last real paddle rush while we were at Tech, we captured the Freshmen as they emerged from the M. E. building, and proceeded to apply the paddles in the proper places. No victory was awarded to either class, but we considered that our slight forces had had the best of it—a moral victory at least. This time we chose Don Smith to lead us, with Jimmy Leach as first assistant. Brud South was elected to write up our meetings, while Swen Pulson had the pleasure of watching our finances. Roger Hager was re-elected auditor, Dave Rice, historian, and Russ Purrington, member-at-large We started in well that term by winning the inter-class track meet 6 2-3 7, but the Frosh did win the rope pull. Inasmuch as the weather was about as wet as the pond that day, we didn’t mind our trip through the pond too much anyway. To get even, we won the football game by a score of 16-0, while they retaliated by taking the soccer game 1-0. At the Y carnival, the judges seemed to prefer the Freshman act, so their numerals were placed on the cup. Once again we found mid-year exams staring us in the face, but after another week of the sort now becoming more or less familiar to us, we took a short rest, sympathized with the faculty’s victims, tightened our belts, and plunged into another term’s struggles. This time Don Smith, Jimmy Leach and Brud South were re-elected to the same offices, but Ted Barks was delegated to try and collect our dues. Bill Hinchliffe was chosen auditor. Bob Driscoll, historian, and Linn Lockwood, member-at-laige. This early did we show the greatness of our athletes, as Bill Asp, who had held down a regular position on the basketball team for two years, was chosen to captain this team the next year. Under Fred Whitford’s expert guidance, the Soph Hop was held in the dorm, and again we realized that the class could run a dance to perfection. Final exams again—and as we finished them, it brought to our minds the fact that we were really half way through Tech. (Although some of us were all through others were not quite half through). Another summer, and then another September. Each time we had returned to Tech we had arrived with a different attitude. Gone was our awe of our Eres hman year, and gone was the wiseness of our Sophmore year. Now we were proud and superior Juniors. Not as many as two years before, for the faculty and the depression had taken their toll, but a good percentage remained. This was our year to act as big brother to the Ereshmen, and pro¬ tect them in their struggles with the Sophomores. What a change in two short years—from protected to protector, but we did our job well. Little time was taken in choosing our new officers. Jimmy Leach was elected to hold the reins, with Russ Purrington to back him up. Brud South kept the records, while Bob Driscoll collected the shekels. Rog Hager was once more our auditor, while Dave Rice and Linn Lockwood were historian and member-at-large respectively. That fall, Don Putnam, who had been playing on the varsity for three years was elected to lead the football team the next year, and Uno Tillan was chosn to help lead the soccer team. As mid-year exams again came around, it was forcibly brought to our minds that a few less dates and a few more nights on the books would have prevented numerous make-ups. Page fifty-seven P€ DL€R 1932 But then, who would recognize the Institute if there were no pink or blue slips after vaca¬ tion? However, the great majority survived, and we started upon a new term—a term which was to contain rewards for the work of our first years for the majority of us. Russ Purrington was chosen to captain the basketball team, while Johnny Osipowich was elected swimming captain. Don Smith was elected editor-in-chief of the Tech News, while Bob McMaster was to handle the business end of the organization. Jimmy Leach and Don Smith were again elected to lead the class, with Paul Nelson sec¬ retary, and Linn Lockwood treasurer. Rog Hager was once more made auditor, while Rocco La Penta was historian, and Bob McMaster was member-at-large. For almost half a year Ted Barks and his Junior Prom committee had been hard at work, and on April 24 we enjoyed the fruits of their labors. This event is always one of the highest spots in one ' s life at the Institute, and that year it was no exception. The Elks’ Hall and Jacques Renard’s orchestra will not soon be forgotten; and the various house parties com¬ bined with the dance to make it one of the best events ever. We point with pride to those members of the class who were tapped for Skull. This is one of the highest honors conceivable at Tech, and Bill Asp, Jimmy Leach, Johnny Osipo¬ wich, Don Putnam, Don Smith and Red Underhill were the deserving ones. That spring Bert Lanciault was chosen to lead the next year’s baseball team, while Frank Sullivan was elected track captain. Once more finals were upon us, and although after them a good number decided to be registered with the class of ’33 rather than with ’3 2, with the men originally from ’31, we had enough to make up a class. Once more we said goodbye to classmates, and left for our various summer locales. Now we were Seniors, and ours was the task of upholding the dignity of a Senior wherever we went. As September arrived, we returned to Tech with the thought that this was to be our last year at the Institute. Seniors—ah—what a grand feeling. No longer should we look up to other students. Now we were the ones to be looked up to. Now we could wander around the campus with a far away look on our faces, not seeing anyone, and yet not be called “high hat.’’ In the eyes of the rest, didn’t we have the problems of the world on our minds? Once again we called upon Don Smith to call the meetings to order, with Paul Nelson to take his place in his absence. Nick Nyquist was official note-keeper, with Linn Lockwood once more pleading for money. As usual, Rog Hager was elected auditor, while Dana Carl¬ ton was delegated to keep the history, and Bill Cullen was elected member-at-large. Soon after the Christmas vacation, Elliot Jones and Dave Rice were also presented with the little ribbons which would eventually give them the privilege of wearing the familiar white Skull cap. After (he mid year exams had come and taken their toll, we chose the same officers to guide us through our last term, with the exception of Ted Barks, member-at-large, and Dave Rice, who was delegated to patch up our history for the past four years. For three and a half years we have wondered just what a thesis was, and now that we are actually doing one, it is still just as much a mystery. Spend twelve hours a week for half a term testing, experimenting, or doing research work, stay up two whole nights writing about it, and you have a thesis. At least it gave those with time to work during the week a much longer week-end. Such is the life of a Senior. A little more time to philosophize, and a little more time to wonder what the future will bring forth for us as we separate and go our various paths. A greater love of life is in us, for we have successfully survived these four years. Life has not been easy, and life will not be easy. But the grit and determination that has carried us through these past few years should start us v ell on our way through life; while the friend¬ ships that we have formed will be something we can carry throughout our lives. As we look forward to receiving the sheepskins that will send us out to face the world, we realize that few positions are available to us. However, the depression can not last forever, and we should not be discouraged. Depressions have come, and depressions have passed be¬ fore. None of us are likely to starve, and the next few years will probably bring forth the best that is in us. And now, as we bring this, the history of the class of 1 932, to a close, let us hope that the teachings we take with us may serve us well in our daily life, and may God guide each of us in our diverging paths.

Andy, after completing his preliminary education at North High School, could not bear to think of being far removed from his old stamping grounds, so he came to Boynton Hill. Before entering into the mysteries of a technical education, he acquainted himself with the workings of the Institute by assisting in the Physics Department. After entering the Institute as a student, we find Andy a very energetic and loyal worker. When it comes to class, Andy was always there on time, and usually in the front row. His promptness is due to the fact that he has excep¬ tional good luck with his puddle jumper. In the four years that Andy has been with us we have come to know him and like him. We find in him, one who is interested in his college, class¬ mates and girls. EDGAR CHARLES ANSALDI Salo Mechanic: Prep. South Manchester High Address: 140 Maple Street, So. Manchester, Conn.

It just grew on him during his Freshman year without rhyme or reason. Someone should have made him go out for basketball, as he was one of the very few good players who attended those memorable Saturday afternoon sessions. Salo is one of the few men who have been improving their scholastic standing, instead of drop¬ ping off like most of us have been so prone to do.

We don’t know what he learned there, but what he did learn he knew how to use. It wasn’t long before he became one of the “sharks ” of the E. E. senior class. As a lab. worker he was immaculate, but he was care¬ less of how he treated our dear instructor, Mr. Robinson. How¬ ever his achievements were not all scholastic. The Cosmo Club and the Radio club claimed most of his time, and to each he added that something that only Bill can. As a tennis player he was good enough to beat Leo Skuropat and that was something: ask Leo. ELIEZER ARONOV ‘ ' El” “Izzy” Civil: Prep. Herzlia Hebrew Gymnasium, Tel-Aviv, Palestine.

Whenever we heard that familiar “Hi Scab.’’ we knew that Aronov was using some of his spare time to good advantage.

It was a treat to work with him on a lab experiment, because the less smoothly it went, the more comical he was. He came to us well recom¬ mended and has lived up to all our expectations. By his zealous endeavors in the interests of the A. S. M. E., he has helped greatly in the strengthening of that body.

The boy who “dared death for education.’’ ranks among the few who completely worked their way through Tech. An interest¬ ing conversationalist and a deep thinker, Jerry has the enviable ability of imparting his knowledge to others, no matter what the subject may be, with amazing facility. This asset coupled with good nature, good humor and sincerity, won for him many friends in both sexes.

Electrics will always remember him as the arranger of those famous basket¬ ball pools, which seemed to have been created for the purpose of increasing the financial standing of Goldrosen. Carl, incidentally, was one of the boys who waited until his senior year to make bis stepping out debut. GEORGE THEODORE BARKS ex TBfl Ted Brickbat Aeronautic: Prep.

Ted is one of those extraordinary fellows who have so much to do that there is little time for studying. Tech News, innumer¬ able class committees, class offices, and class and fraternity ath¬ letics are but a few of the things that have kept Ted from a steady study diet, and as a fitting reward, Tau Beta Pi elected him to membership in his junior year. Let no one think that his time was entirely taken up on the Hill, however, as he was ever prone to attend a dance, while prospects of a pleasant week¬ end in any part of the state could always draw his attention.

Now, after four years of diligent studying the profs on the Hill find him fit to venture into the fields of engineering. Clem has never given the Worcester girls a fair deal, but it is his way of being true. His correspondence with the girl of his dreams is very frequent, as are his visits home—to see the folks, as he says. Page sixty-four peDDLeR 1932 WELLS FENBY BAUSMAN 2:ai: Mechanic: Prep.

During this time, he has been largely responsible for the growth, in the student body, of a respect for these two organizations, and a consequent im¬ provement in the work of both groups. He has often found it necessary to convince some of us of their value and has done so with such a rapid flow of eloquence as to utterly demolish all criticisms. In spite of all the time he has spent with his music, he managed to go to Framingham occasionally, and lately has shown considerable interest in wrestling, at the gym on Satur¬ day afternoons. THEODORE HENRY BERARD AISA Mechanic: Prep. Worcester South High School Address: 414 Park Avenue, Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E., President (4) : Newman Club. Four years ago Teddy came to us after spending a year at a rival institution of learning, Clark. In spite of this early handi¬ cap he has made good here on the Hill both scholastically and socially. Ted has shown quite some ability as a salesman, and has acquired the local agency for one of the prominent jewelry houses. True to the instincts of a salesman, he is always ready to sign a prospect for a new fraternity pin or a ring. This young man’s success with the fair sex has long been an estab¬ lished fact. Very few dances have been held on the Hill at which Ted and his Buick have not been seen at some time during the evening. Page sixty-five P€DDL€R 1932 FRED ALLEN BICKFORD AXA “Btck” Chemist: Prep. Waltham High School Address: 242 Lowell Street, Waltham. Mass. Skeptical Chemists, President (4) ; Assistant Mana¬ ger Football: Rope Pull (1). Here is the bashful little boy of the Chem. Department, al¬ though as he stays longer at Tech, his wisdom increases and his bashfulness decreases. He claims he goes home week-e nds to see his folks, but some of us suspect that Newton may be his real Mecca. He is not especially noted for bluffing, but it is an open question whether or not if he turned that prodigious voice of his loose he could have the world at his feet groveling in terror and ready to surrender unconditionally. Freddy is in¬ tending to take advanced courses at M. 1. T., and it is quite certain that he will meet with as much success there as he has here at Worcester Tech. HERBERT FRANKLIN BORG ern “Herb” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester North High School Address: 173 Eastern Avenue, Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Class Track; Track Squad (2) ; Rope Pull (1, 2). Herb is another of those North High boys, who despite the best efforts of the profs, made the grade in four years. We oftened wondered what the secret of his success with the fairer sex was. but now realize that it must have been that Viking spirit of conquest which spurred him on. At social activities Herb could always be found right at home and in the midst of the fray, from which he could only be separated by his towering height. His hearty greeting and ready smile earned this tall blond youth many friends during his stay at Tech, and we shall certainly miss his vigorous back-slapping antics. ROSCOE HAINES BOWERS AXA “Ros” Electric: Prep. Palmyra High. N. J. Address: Beverly, N. J. Golf (1, 2),Capt. 2; Class Football (1, 2); Knights of the Road; A. 1. E. E. Ros came to Tech with a ready smile and an unfailing good humor, but in spite of these qualities found the Class of ' 30 unsuited to his merits, so dropped out for an extended vaca¬ tion. Finally he has returned to get his sheepskin with the class of ’32. Page sixty-six PeDDLCR 1932 ARTHUR BURTON BRAINERD, JR. “Bert” General Science: Prep. Nashua High School Address: 4 Maxham Avenue, Nashua, N. H. Bert entered Tech with an ardent desire to become a chemist, and for two years survived the rigors of the Chemistry course. However, love for theory led him into different fields. Pros¬ pect of studying theoretical physics and mathematics loomed bright and Bert became a General Scientist. Outside of physics, Bert ' s chief delight is talking. But a single word of encourage¬ ment is sufficient to bring fourth the speech on any given sub¬ ject at any given length. Those of us who know him best, can say that quick although he is to make friends, he is long to keep them and ever willing to help them. WALTER JOHN BROSNAN “Bros” Mechanic: Prep. South High Address: 16 Rittenhouse Rd., Worcester, Mass. Four long years ago. Short Cut Brossy, a nondescript derby, and a Ford presented themselves at the portals of Worcester Tech with the first months preps completed. The first three years passed serenely until one fatal morning Brossy attempted to squeeze an extra quarter of a point from a Gas exam. He presented his arguments with gusto. He grew red in the face: and then—he sassed the instructor! Little Caesar blinked, drew himself up to his full height and proceeded to show our poor Brossy, who was running the class. Since then Brossy has been a changed man. Since then Brossy has decided to be a big financial magnate, his hobbies being finance and management. Next year he is going down to Harvard to learn some of the finer points of squeezing the last drop out of a penny. CHARLES JOHN BRZEZINSKI Klli: “Charlie” Mechanic: Prep. Westfield High School Address: Westfield, Mass. A. S. M. E.: Cosmopolitan Club; Rope Pull (1, 2) ; Soccer (2, 3); Class Football. Charlie (D.D.) is a born mechanical engineer. He is so enthusiastic about his work that he seldom leaves the mechanical lab. Freedom from grease and oil makes him feel uncom¬ fortable. Charlie was a convincing talker and debater until he met B. A. and P. P., the unconvincible souls. We not only have a mechanical engineer but vocalist of repute in Charlie. The house glee club will suffer a tremendous loss when he leaves. Charlie is quite popular with the fair sex. They make him blush a la Butler. He is always full of ideas and inspira¬ tions. His latest ambition inspired from a front seat at Jinny’s Business Law course is to become a lawyer. If Charlie becomes a lawyer, it will be quite unfortunate for the mechanical en¬ gineering profession. Page sixty-seven P DDLCR 1932 LENGES HAWVER BULL ATI.) “Duff y” Civil: Prep.

When Duffy first came to Tech we started learning of the virtues of the Berkshires in general, and of Lenox in particu¬ lar. After four years he has everyone convinced that Lenox is a “Paradise on Earth.” Duffy ' s friendly manner and willing¬ ness to tackle tough assignments have won the respect of his classmates and professors. Editor-in-chief of the PEDDL.ER is a hard, thankless job. but just to glance through this book will convince anyone of the successful manner in which he handled this enterprise. As far as studies go, Duffy always made the grade on high, though socially he was a huge success. HENRY EDWIN CARLSON exp TBIT “ Henny Mechanic: Prep. North High School Address: 79 Barnard Road, Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.: Track; Tennis; Class Eootball; Hockey; Junior Marshall; Soph Hop Committee; Senior Prom Committee. Henry is one of those people one meets occasionally, who is interested and very capable in many lines. His name has always been high on the honor lists, he is an athlete of high order in his chosen fields, and has a very large circle of real friends, that grows wherever he is. While he has not been one to attract the attention of the casual observer in school, his quiet, un¬ assuming character and ability have made him prominent in the minds of his classmates. To his intimates, his friendship will always be a very bright spot in their years at Tech. DANA BURBANK CARLETON Electric: Prep. Portland High School Address: Portland, Maine A. 1. E. E.; Class Historian (4a) Here is the portrait of a fellow who came from Portland, Maine. After his classmates became acquainted with him, few had any doubts as to his ability to negotiate the stormy curri¬ culum in the specified time. This fact can be attributed to his steadiness and clear thinking. He is not swayed by the whims and fancies of the times. His presence and unprejudiced judg¬ ment in those inevitable dorm “Bull Sessions,” had a damping effect on too hasty and rash decisions being rendered by the rest of the assemblage. A persistent plugger he is and always got what he went after. His hobby is sailboats. He not only can talk about them, but also sail one and it is rumored that he has a little schooner somewhere in a Maine cove. Page sixty-eight P€DDL€R 1932 THEODORE STANLEY CHMURA ‘ Ted- Mechanic: Prep. Chicopee High School and Spring- field Technical High School. Address: 34 Monroe Street, Chicopee, Mass. Here is a dreamy, self-sufficient, agreeable young fellow from Chicopee. That ' s Ted! Agreeable, provided physical exertion is not involved. During his sojourn at Tech, his outlook on life was changed, and we hope for the better. It was unaccount¬ able, until it was noticed with what regularity he dolled up on Saturday and disappeared until Monday morning. Such a pro¬ cedure is hardly to be recommended, but in this instance Ted’s scholastic standing did not suffer—to the contrary. His av¬ erage time to Springfield is 70 minutes, a clue, perhaps, to hi.s source of inspiration. TIMOTHY DAVID CRIMMINS “Tim- Civil: Prep. Palmer High School Address: Palmer, Mass. A. S. C. E.: Newman Club, President (4). We are going to miss Tim and his big smile, which was al¬ ways on tap, along with a cheery word. He is a terribly modest person, but his achievements belie his gloomy predictions, for he withstood the onslaughts of the Civil Department nobly, and was president of the Newman Club. Tim is very efficient and has a personality that attracts the femmes in droves. However, since he got innoculated with some serum from a nearby street, he seems to have been immune from attacks from other mem¬ bers of the female species. EARL LINCOLN DUFRESNE AXA “Earl- Civil: Prep. Shrewsbury High School Address: Shrewsbury, Mass. A. S. C. E.; Soccer (3) ; Class Soccer (1, 2) : Class Baseball (1, 2). How a Civil could manage to manipulate such Fords as Earl Dufresne has done, and always get there on the dot, has long been a mystery to Tech students. But in spite of age, condi¬ tion, or appearance, said Fords were always welcome whenever any Civil had to lug a transit or level up Boynton Hill. His effective boot on the soccer field was as helpful as his willingness to assist anybody whenever the occasion arose. Dame Rumor has it noised about that a certain event is soon to take place, but •—Nuf sed ! Page sixty-nine P€DDL€R 1932 EDWARD FRANCIS DONOHUE “Ed” Friars Civil: Prep. Worcester Classical High School Address: 34 Longfellow Road, Worcester, Mass. A. S. C. E.; Newman Club Ed is another one of the numerous Worcester boys who have made good at Tech. Those of us who shared with him the sanctuary of the Senior Civil Drafting Room always found pleasure in his discourses on various subjects. Ed has ever been a faithful student of the type who could find time to s upport Tech’s activities. He has played a prominent part in the es¬ tablishing and maintaining of Tech’s newest fraternity, the Friars. Surely everyone will agree that Ed has all the qualities that make a person well liked. ROLAND FREEMONT DOWNING “Roily” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester South High School Address: 18 Hampden Street, Worcester, Mass. Basketball (2, 3) “W” 3. Roily is well known at Tech, especially by his classmates. He has one of those personalities that can cultivate friendship easily and yet maintain a valuable frankness to the world. His strong ideas are not altered by his broadmindness. Some of his favorite expressions might indicate a cynical attitude, but Roland is gay at all times. His career is his one ambition. Probably there are others, although not fully awakened yet. If your personality will provide you a position, you surely will hold it with your honesty in working.

Red has been a prominent figure on the campus. In addition to making all the honor societies there were to make, he found time to take a large part in extra-curricula activities. His swimming ability usually made his unfortunate competitors appear anchored. It is rumored that Red’s participation in swimming meets materi¬ ally increased the gate receipts, as the girls who came once, came again and yet again just to see “that cute red headed boy swim.’’ His only weakness is a passion for sleep and the con¬ sequent inability to get to his “eight o’clocks” on time, if at all. But his professors smile tolerantly, and remembering his other virtues, disregard this one vice. Page seventy PeDDLCR 1932 CARL MILTON EKBERG $ 2 : K Civil: Prep.

Milt Ekberg, product of the local sand-lots,” as Worcester papers were wont to say on various occasions, is about as fine a fellow as one could hope to find. This excellent characteristic, of which he is highly deserving, is brought about by his con¬ geniality and ever present good nature. His natural ability seems to run along athletic lines rather than studies. A modest winner when the occasion presented itself, and a sportsmanlike loser when necessary, Ekie is as much if not even more de¬ serving of all that we can say of him. GEORGE BLISS EMERSON A T 12 Mechanic: Prep. East Providence High School Address: 490 Taunton Ave., East Providence, R. 1. A. S. M. E.; Dormitory Committee: Swimming Team sWt” (1, 2, 3, 4). George’s grin and grit are a most deceptive pair. That smile lasts a long time, but when it fades, “Sauve qui peut!” A lot of rival swimmers found that out when they accidentally got a little lead on him. None of them ever held that lead after the grin left George’s face. Incidentally, he goes for the water in a big way. Each spring found him among the ab¬ sent brethern, (from class that is), until his famous yacht was riding the waters of Providence Bay. After seeing that mar¬ velous craft, we were worried about George’s safety until we found out the type of swimmer that he was. HOWARD RUSSELL FINN ‘k T A “Red Mechanic: Prep. Phillips Exeter Academy Address: 98 Wall St., Springfield, Vt. A. S. M. E.: Masque: Chairman Commencement Ac¬ tivities: Rope Pull: Junior Marshall: Track. To look at him you would never think that Red came from the sticks. A few years ago. Red shook the hayseed out of his hair, hitched up the horse, and decided to show Tech that all Vermonters are not farmers. Always spick and span, nothing seems to ruffle either his person or his composure, for he can wear his best suit to M.E. lab and not get a spot on it. As a burlesque artist. Red is unequalled, his imitation of B.A, being even better than B.A. himself. Although a few of the Profs tried to trip Red as he was diploma-bound, he showed his superiority by always getting his pink slip at the critical time. Page seventy-one f €DDLeR 1932 THEODORE LYMAN FISH “Ted” Mechanic: Prep. West Springfield High School Address: 3 3 Summitt St., West Springfield, Mass. Camera Club; PEDDLER. Ted and his inseparable companion Robot were familiar figures on the campus during Ted’s last years at Tech. And who is Robot? Don ' t you know? Why, Robot is Ted’s pet Ford, which has faithfully carried him to Springfield every time he had West Springfield fever. Many times Robot had to be coaxed along, and Ted was often beard to remark that Robot carried you just .so far and then you had to carry her a little ways. When Ted gets that job we are afraid that he and Robot will go down different trails. ERNEST WEBSTER EOSTER A X A “Ernie Mechanic: Prep. Johnson High School Address: West Boxford, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Glee Club (3, 4) ; Dormitory Commit¬ tee (1) ; Rope Pull (1). When Ernie arrived from West Boxford in the fall of 1928, it was with high hopes of soon being an engineer. He has worked hard and seriously toward that goal for three long years, and still remains with good old ’3 2 after stumbling a couple of times. We understand that he still has visions of an engineer at times, but that most of his visions are of a certain one of the fairer sex. Well, good luck to you, Ernie, in all your endeavors, and let’s see you tackle life’s work with the same systematic and business-like way that you have your school work.

E.: Radio Club; Rifle Club; Camera Club; Knights of the Road; Eencing Club; Class Eootball. Dave probably got that far away look while hanging to the eleventh floor of the Slater Building with one hand while washing windows with the other. When Goldie saw all the multifarious outside activities available at Tech, he decided to try them all, so it became no unusual thing to see him at odd moments, taking lessons in code, trying out with the football team, pulling with the rope pull team and. incidentally, attend¬ ing all the dances with some one of his harem. Not content with being a social success, Dave has read almost everything on psychology available, and it doesn’t require much persuasion to start him on a discussion of supermen and suchlike.

Here we have one of the bright men of the class of ’3 2. Right from the start of the long trek, he has been able to make studies sit up and eat out his hand; and graduation finds him high up in the honor list of his class. Otherwise Ev has lived the life of any normal student. Organizations and social life have had his loyal support, and he has undergone all the ex¬ periences that give Tech men that certain air. HAROLD JOSEPH GRANGER Eriars Harry Mechanic: Prep. Worcester Classical High School. Address: 894 Grafton St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Newman Club; Track “W” (2, 4). Harry hails from Worcester—good old Worcester. He grad¬ uated from Classical High School and then decided to take a fling at the engineering profession. Harry has received prac¬ tical experience in the summer as constructing and consulting engineer on the Junior High Schools of his home town. He was not satisfied with this, however, and during the week-ends broadened his outlook putting in his time as a night watchman at the same job. Harry showed his persistency by working until his senior year for his track letter. EARLE EDWIN GREEN A X A Electric: Prep. Worcester High School of Commerce Address: 107 Hillcroft Ave., Worcester, Mass. A. I. E. E.; Masque; Glee Club; Vice-President Musical Association. We now introduce Mr. Earle Green, who came to Worcester Polytech from Commerce High School of Worcester. Earle came to Tech in 1 928 with the rest of us. and although his high school education was not directly in line with a technical education, he has found little difficulty with the electrical course. He has been on the honor list several times and has never been known to fear marks. As it has been said, Earle came from Commerce and of course when he meets anyone with a com¬ mercial education, he is naturally attracted to the person, whether male or female. This is exactly the case with a certain stenog in the near vicinity of W. P. I., whose name there is no need to mention, as he has been seen quite frequently at dances with this young lady under his arm. Page seventy-three ■ PCDDLCR 1932 JOHN WALCOTT GREENE “Johnny” General Science: Prep. Classical High School Address: Worcester, Mass. Orchestra Coach; PEDDLER, business manager (4). Johnny Greene has been a great success in promoting dances, and if the results he obtained while here at Tech may be taken as a prediction for the future, his name will soon be heading nation-wide posters. His new and unique ideas along many carefully thought-out fields have been a decided success, and he has climaxed his hard-working college career by assuming the Business Managership responsibility of the PEDDLER. Can you imagine a Tech graduate who has majored in languages? Well, John Greene has done just that. ROGER CHAPIN HAGER A T 9. “Rog” Mechanic: Prep.

Masque; Freshman Rules Committee; Senior Banquet Committee; Auditor (1, 2, 3, 4); Basketball Sec¬ onds “bWb” (1, 2, 3) ; Rope Pull ( 1, 2). Down from Clinton comes this fellow with his winning smile. No matter how discouraging a thing may appear to be to the rest of us. Rog is always in good spirits. For three and a half years Rog has been the class auditor. In our third year at school he was captain of the basketball second team, but in the last year all of his spare time has been spent in the study of the Swedish language. Now Rog is just waiting for that chance to get to Stockholm, but no matter where he goes his pleasantness and his smile will win many friends. Long live Tech’s John Barrymore. EDWARD MONROE HAINES “Jinney” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester North High School Address: 9 McKinley Rd., Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E. Although Ed joined us part way through after returning from an operation, we soon got to know his cheery laugh and slavish devotion to work. Ed should be a great success at hydraulic work, as he delves into it with great enthusiasm. Here’s lots of luck, Ed. and many Water Wheels. Remember all the good times with Pop, B. A. and P.

Baseball (1, 2, 3) ; Class Soccer (1, 2) ; Rope Pull (1, 2), Captain (2) ; A. S. M. E.: Radio Club. George is well known to us through his activities on the baseball team. When the going in baseball gets a little tough, he pulls his cap down over his eyes and says, “Come on you fellows.” He says the same thing to himself when the studies get a bit involved, for George isn’t afraid of hard work and plenty of it. Here is the boy who is going to make a place for himself in the cold cruel world, in spite of all the difficulties His quiet unassuming manner with his constant willingness to give anyone a lift will make him popular among his associates, while his practical abilities will bring results when applied to the long or discouraging tasks. WILLIAM ELLUM HANSON •V “Bill Chemist: Prep. Norwich Free Academy Address: 94 Williams St., Norwich, Conn. Skeptical Chymists; Glee Club; Cosmopolitan Club. Bill came to Tech an ardent chemist, and, strangely enough, creditably survived all courses without suffering any dampen¬ ing of his enthusiasm. His erudition in his chosen field became a by-word, and the facility with which he recited high-sounding chemical formulae was a constant source of awe to his non¬ chemical fellow students. In addition to achieving an enviable record along scholastic lines. Bill became one of the faithful members of the Glee Club, Skyp Chemists and Cosmopolitan Clubs. One of the more quiet and unobtrusive members of the class, he nevertheless made firm friends of all who knew him. Probably none of us has spent his sojourn here at Tech more profitably than he. EDWIN VAUGHN HASKELL “Ed Chemist: Prep. Bromfield High School Address: Still River. Mass. Skeptical Chymists: Rifle Club; Swimming (3, 4); Rifle Team, “rWt” (2, 3, 4). Haskell could qualify as an expert swimmer or sharpshooter, but we think that he should be superintendent of a dynamite factory. His researches along this line include the “Effects of Heating Nitro Compounds.” The results were not appreciated by Bill Hanson, upon whom the flask’s contents descended, after first hitting the ceiling. While Hanson splashed at the water faucet with amazing vigor, the sympathetic Haskell be¬ wailed the loss of his product. Haskell will be remembered not only for his easy-going manner, but also for his periodic efforts to relieve the monotony of long lab sessions by his cheery whistle.

We find Herman Hawthorne right there with the ol’ text¬ books, but also a master in his own right of a kingdom in the land of The Grand Slam; a bridge builder to be, but a bridge player as is. Whither were whiled his idle campus hours, few ever knew, tho’ slumber claimed him often, and belabored courses enjoyed their brief respite. His amours in the Heart of the Commonwealth may have been few in number, but in his native bailiwick Hermie is an accredited craftsman, with the eye, ' tis rumored, of the connoisseur.

Ben, as most of the fellows call him, is quiet and unassum¬ ing of manner; he is inclined to listen rather than to talk. He is a math shark, and regardless of the type of math course, seems to have little difficulty in solving complicated problems. Although Ben is not as well known as some fellows at Tech, he is liked by all those who have the pleasure of his acquaint¬ ance. Ben’s ability has not been shown on any varsity team, but as he is capable along other lines, so is he skillful in athletics. WILLIAM HUNTTING HINCHLIFFE r A “Hanyack,” “Bill” Electric: Prep.

Milt hails from the old whaling town of New Bedford. Perhaps that is where he acquired his love of travel, for he has covered Europe and many are the stories that he can and will tell of his experiences along the shores of Panama and South America. He has many friends among the fair sex. who, ac¬ cording to him, “are not good looking, but have lots of money.’’ Lriendly and good natured. and quite ready to lend a helping hand have made for him many friends, and his ability at bridge, tennis, and along other lines makes him a worthy op¬ ponent.

I.ambie John¬ son has never found out why the Civil Course has the reputation of being difficult. He is the possessor of both Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi keys, which will answer for his scholastic ability, but only those who are in intimate contact with him know of his sly humor and ready wit. His favorite sport is basketball, and in that game his eye for the hoop is as keen as his brain in tracking down one of Pa Erench’s quizzes. Of his activities among the fair sex, not much is known, although some have hinted that he is not as innocent as he seems. ELLIOT DAY JONES O T 12 T B II S Skull El Aeronautics: Prep.

El has been in the midst of the fray in Tech activities during his entire four years at the Institute, and has given his time and ceaseless efforts unselfishly to them. The manner in which he sharked his courses has earned our truest admiration for him. Napoleon had one Waterloo, but El went him one better. The first of these occurred on a bright sunning morning, when El came late to B. A.’s eight o’clock class, and the second took place when he glided from the straight path of all good M.E.’s into Pinky’s aeronautics course. Page seventy-seven P€DDL€R ■■■■ 1932 AMBROSE A.

Am was one student that was hardly ever seen without a cheerful smile, which accounts for the fact that he was so well liked by everyone. His great failings were his enjoyment in singing in the Glee Club, and in collecting catalogues on all sorts of engineering data. He always denied that he was a ladies’ man. but this point was rather doubted, at the sight of all the letters he received. EREDERICK RALPH KENYON A X A “Ken Mechanic: Prep.

Those who have not had a chance to become acquainted with Stan during his stay on the Hill have certainly been deprived of meeting one of the world’s most extraordinary personalities. Hailing from the wilds of Southbridge. it was not long before he became known to his immediate associates as an automobile enthusiast of the highest order. To attempt to argue with him upon automobile construction or operation is to tread upon dangerous ground, as there is no phase of this game unknown or too deep for his comprehension. Only a few of his close friends know that his secret ambition is to become either a bus driver or an automobile racer.

Perhaps one reason why Bert cut such a wide swath in Tech athletics is due to the fact that he worked as a grave digger a couple of summers in order to help defray expenses on th; Hill. As everyone knows, this boy was captain of the baseball nine, and when he puts on his skates and goes onto the hockey rink even Dutchy Masius is willing to concede Bert’s superioritv on the ice.

Rock has been one of those po¬ tential students who started off with a bang and then came down along the curve PV = C, as he approached the fatigue failure. Well, Rock, who wouldn’t, after meeting the ’’bald eagle” and being a radio and magazine bug at night and a bed bug in the morning? Rock, the 130-pound right end, stood the gaff and was a prominent member and fighter of the Tech football team for four years: one reason for his ableness was that during sum¬ mer vacations he dug holes for piles in the Hartford clay during the day, and was a sparring partner at night. JAMES EDWARD LEACH 0 X Skull Jim” Civil: Prep. Gardner High School Address: 69 Leamy St., Gardner, Mass. A. S. C. E.: Tech Council: W. P. 1. A. A.: Class Vice-President (2a, b) ; Class President (3a, b) : Football (2, 3. 4) W: Baseball (2, 3, 4) W; Bas¬ ketball (3, 4). Jimmy traveled down hill from Gardner in the fall of ' 28, and immediately made the gym his home. His smiling face and golden head graced the gridiron, diamond, and basketball court throughout his stay at Tech. Jimmy’s forte as an athlete came in his ability to produce in pinches. His brilliant dash for a touchdown one fall afternoon, after he had gathered the pigskin out from nowhere, was one of the bright spots in Tech’s football season. The list of offices above attests to his general ability, and his popularity is revealed by his wealth of nicknames. Jimmy’s endearment to us all comes with his modest personality and unfailing good nature. Page seventy-nine P€DDLeR 1932 ROBERT GEORGE LEARY Friars “Bob” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester South High School Address: 41 Mill St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Newman Club. Bob, the barber, is as well known for his winning way with the women as for his ability with razor and shears. Many’s the time one of the fellows has dropped into the barber shop where Bob worked on Saturdays, had his hair cut and had Bob fix him up with a “blind” from that ever-ready little red book of his. Bob has been instrumental in helping to add to the new¬ est fraternity at Tech, and through his work has done much to assure the Friars being here permanently. HOWARD PARKER LEKBERG A X A “Lek” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester South High Address: Granite St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Assistant Manager Track; Junior Mar¬ shall; Chairman Class Day Committee. Lek. as he is known to his friends, is one of the quieter men of the class. He finds it easy to make friends with the faculty and the students. In the circle of those whose privilege it is to call him friend, he has no peer. He is quiet, diligent and attentive. With these qualities and his ability to co-operate with all, he has made a great success of his college days here at Tech. LESTER NELSON LINTNER “Les” Mechanic: Prep. Torrington High School Address: 85 Brightwood Ave., Torrington. Conn. A. S. M. E.; Rope Pull (2) ; Camera Club. What this blond little giant lacks in size, he certainly makes up in energy, as can be testified to by members of the upper deck of the dorm. Due to his love of lock mechanisms, he was in constant demand,“unofficially,” as fuse replacer, and. Oh! Oh! will we ever forget the day his billfold was found in Forge. Seldom seen in the company of the fairer sex, but the daily visits of the letter carrier indicates other than a passing interest in the attractions of several cities. Page eighty PeDDLCR 1932 LINN MUSSON LOCKWOOD A T n “Moose” Mechanic: Prep. Stamford High School Address: 48 New Haven Avc., Woodmont, Conn. A. S. M. E.: Football W” (2. 3, 4) ; Track (1, 2) ; Class Track; Class Football: Class Basketball: Masque: Advertising Manager PEDDLER; Class Treas- Treasurer (1, 3, 4); Member-at-Large (2): Chair¬ man Class Gift Committee: Rope Pull ( 1 ). Four years ago Moose left the wilds of Connecticut to enroll at Tech. Those four years have passed, and during the interval Locky has found time to make friends with many, besides keep¬ ing up his studies and outside activities. At first we thought Moose to be a quiet, studious chap, but how our opinion changed when we saw him perform on the gridiron. Moose has always avoided the weaker sex, but we are waiting. Re¬ member, “The bigger they are the harder they fall.” RAYMOND HENRY LYNCH T B n 22 S Friars “Ray” Civil: Prep. Milford High School Address: 73 Florence St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. C. E.: Newman Club; Junior Prom Committee. Here we have Ray Lynch, the lad with the shock of curly hair and the perpetual smile. It was not long after Ray’s entrance into Tech before we knew him not only for his ready and winning smile, but also for his ability to shark his courses, which is evidence by his election to Tau Bete. In spite of his proficiency in his studies, Ray could by no means be called a grind. He always found time to leave his own work and help a less fortunate classmate. DONALD JAMES MaGEE “ Maggee” Electric: Prep. Springfield Technical High School Address: Springfield, Mass. Newman Club. Any introduction to Maggy would mean nothing, as one must know him to fully appreciate his sense of humor and those indefinable things which go to make up a likeable person¬ ality such as his. In this day of new records and believe it or not events, Mag has not been found wanting, for he has established a new precedent here at Tech of repeating a course, due to illness, and still acquiring the coveted sheepskin in the minimum four yeaers. While here Don showed an unusual breadth of interest, not confining himself to engineering subjects, but delving into the classics as well. Page eighty-one P€DDL€R 1932 ANTONIO P. MAGGIACOMO “Jack” Electric: Prep. Cranston High School Address: 1651 Cranston St., Cranston, R. I. Football (2, 3, 4) ; Captatin (4). Jock, our loyal comrade, is finding it pleasant to loiter by the wayside, but will soon follow us. He has shown himself to be a determined fellow, for he is coming back to complete his college training and give his support to our football team as its captain. Many of us v ill be back to see him lead our team to brilliant victories, and to hear his voice above all others, telling the boys on the field to, Come on! Give them Hell!’’ In years to come, when most of our college episodes are for¬ gotten. we can be certain of one thing, and that is that Jock will never be forgotten, nor will his smile fade. RICHARD HENRY MARTIN “Red” Civil: Prep. Worcester North High School Address: 49 East Mountain St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. C. E.; Class Soccer (1, 2). Dick, having the distinction of being the only ’3 2 ‘‘Red’’ Civil, entered Tech as a member of the North High delegation. From the very beginning Dick took the intricacies of technical education seriously, and his fellow Civils still remember the hit he made with the so-much dreaded Railroad Curves course. Although a member of the D.R.D.H.D.C. (Drafting-Room Dinner-Hour-Discussion Club) Dick found time to shoot a couple of baskets in the gym almost every noon. Most of his free time outside school was devoted, however, to real ‘‘he-man’’ sports of the great outdoors—hunting and trapping. ROBERT WILLIAM McMASTER S A E “Mac” Mechanic: Prep. Mary E. Well High School AddressS 7 Columbus Ave., Southbridge, Mass. Tech News; Member-at-Large (3a). Bob is one of those rare and pleasant combinations of sobriety and gayety. He has been active in extra curricula activities and stands high in scholastic endeavor. A cheerful smile and a sunny disposition add materially to a charming personality. Mac was an efficient and competent manager of the Tech News, and has demonstrated to us through this managership that he has the inherent ability of becoming an executive. With this combination of characteristics, our own conclusions may be drawn as to his making a success in life. Page eighty-two P€DDL€R 1932 HARRY GEORGE MERRILL “Chub Electric: Prep. West Boylston High School Address: West Boylston. Chub came to Tech fresh from the land of the pop-corn in¬ dustry,—West Boylston. With the aid of his trusty Ford, he has fairly burned up the road on the way to the Hill, and has aciuired a thorough knowledge of the topography of the ter- litory around the Reservoir as a side-line. Chub has one of the most dependable good natures in the class, and it fits the rest of his sunny easy-going nature admirably. His ability as a hard worker and his knack of sticking to a job until it was done, put to shame those of us of mightier stature. Neverthe¬ less. he always found time to relax in the company of “one” certain party at the basketball games. WILLIAM JUSTIN MINNICK “Bill “Maestro Chemist: Prep. Bartlett High, Webster Address: Auburn, Mass. Rope Pull ( 1, 2). An exponent of a stranger chemistry than the Kaiser ever taught. Bill’s concoctions were well worth keeping awav from. With a beaker on to stew, it seemed to cause him no little de¬ light to give concertos during thesis hours. His greatest claim to fame is his unparalleled success in bearing out that a miss is good as a mile, when it comes to the soul-searing clutch of an unrelenting faculty, which strives to maintain the tradition, “they shall not pass.” PAUL EDWIN NELSON A X A T B II X S “Paul Civil: Prep. Lyndon Institute, Lyndon Center, Vt. Address: Barnet, Vt. A. S. C. E.: Vice-President (3), President (4); Junior Prom. Committee; Tech Council (4) ; Basket¬ ball Manager: Rope Pull (1, 2). Paul is a son of Vermont, whose first year here showed a good fellow with the ability to collect the high 80s and 90s. They still come as Tau Bete, Sigma Xi, etc. Paul is known and liked by everyone, needless to say, as evidenced by the activities listed under his name. Success is assured unless,—well, we’ve heard rumors of a particular Vermont nurse. ’Nuf sed; we all hope for the best, but something besides studies and ac tivities is thinning your hair and causing you many sleepless nights. Be careful, Paul; the best of us make mistakes. Page eighty-three P€DDL€R 1932 PAUL R. NELSON “Paul” Electric: Prep. Worcester Academy Address: 1 1 Watt Road, Worcester, Mass. Here is oite man that we would like to have known better, but due to circumstances that could be blamed to no one, the E. E.’s are the only ones who have really had a chance to ap¬ preciate him. Paul came to Tech with many prep school track records and was well on his way towards making a name in collegiate competition when he was forced to leave school for a year. After a great deal of hard work, on and off the Hill, Paul has made the grade, and is now ready to continue his climb in the field of engineering. JOHN NIZANOEE Chemist: Prep. Tourtellotte High School Address: North Grosvenordale, Conn. Sceptical Chemists! Cosmopolitan Club. Although sickness has hindered Johnny greatly, he has cer¬ tainly accomplished more than most of us. He came to this country from Macedonia seven years ago, and in that short time mastered the English language and advanced himself sufficiently to enter college. Here at Tech he has been very successful in his studies, and has also been an active member of the Cosmopolitan Club, Clee Club, and Skep Chemists. In spite of his firm belief that laughter is no good. Johnny always wear a good-natured smile, and gets more fun out of life than he would have you believe. OLOF WENDELL NYQUIST A X A T B n “Nick” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester South High School Address: 5 Dybeck St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.: Class Secretary (4); Football: Track “W” (3, 4). Nick’s experience with the flying four and as a pigskin pusher should serve him well in the years to come. The blond streak’s speed is probably what has helped him to a great ex¬ tent in successfully evading women during his stay at the In¬ stitute. Nick buzzed merrily through the tense four years, mopping up honors and honorary societies until one of his wings got tangled in “Spider’s” web. It takes much to keep a good man down, however, and Blondy finished with the top members of his class. . ■ Page eighty-four P€DDL€R 1932 CHARLES STEPHEN O ' BRIEN :£ A E “Chick” Mechanic: Prep. Springfield Technical High School Address: Springfield, Mass. Newman Club; Class Secretary (2) ; Rope Pull (2) : Junior Marshall; Junior Prom Committee; Class Bas¬ ketball. Chick, though handicapped by Springfield origin, has over¬ come this obstacle with a notable degree of success. His ready smile and winning personality have won a host of friends for him here on the Hill. Besides being a scholar and class leader, Chick is also quite some boy on the basketball court, and never fails to provide his share of exciting moments for the benefit of his large band of rooters. Although a conscientious worker, he was ever ready to further the cause of a good joke, and provided plenty of diversion for his fellow students. Chick likewise held to the rules of good society and was politely late at eight o ' clocks, especially those occuring on Saturday morn¬ ings. HOWARD ARNOUT OFFERS e X “Dutch” Mechanic: Prep. Woonsocket High School Address: 107 Spring St., Woonsocket, R. I. Golf (1 ) ; Mgr. (4) ; Swimming (2, 3, 4) ; Photo¬ graphic Editor, Peddler (4) ; Junior Editor (3) ; Rope Pull (1, 2); Aero Club (1); Tech News (1, 2). It can be seen that Dutch has been quite active on the Hill for the past four years. However, swimming has been his most outstanding sport, doing the four-forty in his own inimitable way. But with all these activities we sometimes have won¬ dered whether Dutch attended Worcester Tech, as every week¬ end and many nights during the week, he packed his bag and started for points east or west. On these occasions the end justi¬ fied the means, i.e., officers of the law and obstructions on the road, such as telephone poles and bridges, were of little hindrance to him. Take the corners easy, Dutch, and a ripe old age will be thine. PAUL RUDOLPH OLSON A X A “Rudy” Electric: Prep. Worcester High School of Commerce Address: 73 Jerome Ave., Auburn, Mass. A. 1. E. E. Rudy hails from the big metropoli ' s of Auburn, but this has never kept him from pulling in every morning just on the dot with his old, trusty model T. Although never a member of any of the athletic teams, Rudy has always been a loyal sup¬ porter of all Tech teams and activities, usually being seen in the company of one of the fairer sex. In spite of this outside ac¬ tivity, he has managed to keep up in his studies, and is always ready to help out a mate in distress. His unfailing good nature has won him a host of friends on the Hill and many of us will hate to part with him. Page eighty-five P€DDL€R 1932 CONSTANTINE G. ORFANOS 2 ; E ! “Connie Electric: Prep. B. M. C. Durfee High School Address: 949 High St., Fall River, Mass. A. I. E. E.: Glee Club; Cosmopolitan Club; Tele¬ vision Club. Connie’s unfailing and gay nature has won for him many friends on and around the Hill, though he has been with us only one and a half years, having spent his two previous years acquiring experience with the General Radio Co. and the Kel- vinator Refrigeration Co. of Boston. He has been active in social, musical and scholastic circles during his stay at Tech. Always dressed “d quatre epingles, his favorite pastime con¬ sisted of thinking up questions in Hydraulics which would stump Clyde Hubbard. He is always finding something in¬ teresting, and he never lacks for conversation, especially along philosophical lines. He successfully overcame the hardships at Tech, and proved to be the it” man by having conquered the friendship of the fairer sex. JOHN CHARLES OSIPOWICH 2 A E T B IT Skull “Ossie Mechanic: Prep. Worcester Classical High School Address: 18 Columbia St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; W. P. I. A. A.; Tech Council; Football W (2, 3, 4); Swimming sWt” (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (4). Although a New England Intercollegiate swimming champion and a fine football player, it is also worthy of note to mention the fact that Ossie was a remarkable student. Membership in Skull and Tau Beta Pi are pretty good evidences of these facts concerning his ability, and it is just as correct to assume that his popularity is as well advanced as his other commendable traits. Whether he will ever follow engineering is somewhat of a ques¬ tion, as the report goes that he is also studying undertaking as a side line. LEONARD HENRY PETERS, JR. «! 2 K “Pete Civil: Prep. Lenox High School Address: Lenox, Mass. Tech News (1, 2); PEDDLER; Swimming; Class Swimming. Four short years ago that beautiful town of Lenox in those enchanting Berkshires gave us Pete, and happy are they who have made his acquaintance. Always nonchalant, carefree and happy go lucky, this handsome brunette is always at the bottom of some argument, but generally manages to come out on top. Whether he be up to some sort of deviltry in the wee hours, or attending a social affair, Pete does his bit to keep th ings peppy. Aside from this, Pete is very serious when it comes to studies and possesses a quality desired by many of us, persever¬ ance. It is this, coupled with a pleasing personality, that will go far toward making Pete a man of the world. Page eighty-six P€DDL€R 1932 IRWIN WALBERG PETERSON «! 2 : K “Pete Electric: Prep. Worcester North High School Address: 3 Wilkinson St., Worcester, Mass. Tech News (1, 2, 3) ; Cap and Gown Committee Chairman: Golf (1, 2. 3, 4), Captain (4); Swim¬ ming Manager; Rope Pull (1, 2). Pete is another Electric with shocking ability and a magnetic personality. He hails from this marvelous city of Worcester. Although he is a rather quiet fellow, he has made a name for himself here at Tech, through his activities and studies. Eew are the dances at which we fail to see his beaming countenance among those present. Pete is an ardent golfer and in golfing weather spends most of his free time on the links. ONNIE MATHIAS PETROMAN Mechanic: Prep. Norwich Free Academy Address: R. F. D. 5, Norwich, Conn. A. S. M. E.; Masque; Tech News; Cosmopolitan Club. Onnie’s idea of ecstacy is to drive a brand new super-deluxe Mercedes down Main Street. Automobiles have always been Onnie’s pet delight and he will launch out, anytime, into a violent discussion concerning them, upon the least provocation, Onnie’s interests are not confined to automobiles, however. He has taken an active part in the Masque productions each year. His specialty is feminine impersonation, and what a frail” he makes! He has also been connected with the circulation depart¬ ment of the Tech News. Onnie’s ambition is to prove to the world that the small New England farm can be run profitably He hopes to design machinery and to devise methods which will bring this about. EDWIN LEROY POLLARD ex “Ned “Eddie” Civil: Prep. Northampton High Address: 103 Massasoit Ave., Northampton, Mass. A. S. C. E.: Class Rifle Team; Class Bowling (1, 2) : Ass’t. Mgr. Baseball. Ned is a student whose motto might well be Haste makes waste.” Although never in a hurry, he was never among the last to arrive at any goal. In former years, Northampton week-ends were his passion, but of late he has discovered that there are other towns in the State that can attract one’s atten¬ tion. During the fishing season he was a true follower of Izaak Walton, while during the hunting season his interest was evenly divided between two - and four-legged “deers.” Always a steady and accurate bowler, may Ned knock over the obstacles of life as consistently as he did the head pin on the bowling alley. Page eighty-seven P€DDL€R 1932 RUPERT DICKSON PORTER 2 A E “Dick” Electric: Prep. West Hartford High School Address: West Hartford, Conn. Hockey (1, 2) ; Class Soccer (2) ; Rope Pull (2). Captain Porter of the S. A. E. Fire Brigade, who never missed a night alarm, always failed to get up in time for an eight o’clock class. He also had the great distinction of being able to cultivate a headache in any class at any time. Although we have had the misfortune of losing him the latter part of this semester, we still consider him as one of us. JOHN HORTON PORTEUS $ r A 2 3 “Jack” Civil: Prep. Sandyford Academy, England Address: Front St., Three Rivers, Mass. A. S. C. E.; Glee Club (2a, b) ; Masque; Cosmo¬ politan Club (1, 2), Vice-President (2), Jock hails from England, which may account for his line. That line showed to good advantage when he played the lead¬ ing role in “Tons of Money,” however, and doubtlessly accounts for his success with the fair sex. Although he dropped out of the glee club when the lure of Worcester’s “400” became too insistent, we still hear his melodious voice between classes. Like the rest of us, Jock likes his sleep in the morning, but he is always there when the marks come out. The bright smile he displays to the fair sex should help him in his exploits later on. HENRY BLANCHARD PRATT, JR. ex T B n “Henry” “Rudy” Civil: Prep. Antrim High School and Mount Hermon School Address: Antrim, N. H. A. S. C. E.; Manager Track (4); Vice-President N. E. 1. C. A. A.; Class Rifle (1, 2, 3) ; Rope Pull ( 2 ). Henry, whose hair, features, and sobriquet Rudy recall a well known crooner, hails from the little known wilds of An¬ trim, N. H., and perhaps the better known prep school. Mount Hermon. The only time Rudy is seen on the Hill is week-days; on Sundays and holidays his time is spent at a leading women’s college in Boston. Besides this more or less major outside ac¬ tivity, he has found time to manage the varsity track team and become a member of the honorary engineering society, Tau Beta Pi. With his straight thinking and mastery of engineering principles, Rudy has made a fine name for himself here at Tech. Page eighty-eight P€DDL€R 1932 SWEN GILBERT PULSON A T n “Siven” “Swede” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester Academy Address: 6940 Paschall Ave., Philadelphia, Penn. Masque, Manager (3), President (4) ; Tech Council: Class Treasurer (2). If you ever chanced to be in the vicinity of Chadwick Square in the wee small hours after the trolleys have stopped running, most any night you would see our fair haired Swen bouncing along lustily whistling “Margie.” Sometimes he bums rides with the milkman, but he always manages to be the one to turn out the light in the hallways at A.T.O, In spite of his pro¬ longed excursions to Swede Hill, Swen for three years kept ahead of the profs. Finally, however. Little Caesar put him on the spot. Swen’s brisk cheery manner has made him well liked on the Hill, both by his classmates and instructors. RUSSELL DONELSON PURRINGTON i :s, K “Russ” Mechanic: Prep, Cushing Academy Address: Shattuckville, Mass. Baseball (2, 3); Basketball (2, 3, 4), Capt. (4). Russ comes to Tech from the wilderness north of Turners Falls, and has been a very busy man during his four years so¬ journ here. Quite an athlete is Russ, and he was rewarded this year with the captaincy of basketball. Usually there was an attraction for him after the games, and we fear his frequent visits home are not entirely spent in going hunting, as he says. DONALD WALLACE PUTNAM A X A Skull “Don” “Putty” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester Commerce High School Address: 942 Millbury St., Worcester, Mass. Football (W 1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (4) ; Baseball (W 1, 2, 3). Putty came to Tech from Commerce High of Worcester and by so doing, solved one of Pete Bigler’s biggest problems, namely that of filling the short-stop position on the baseball team. Not only has Putty held that position since coming to Tech, but he has been one of the backbones of the football team, which he captained this year. Don has not only been active in athletics, but has been a prominent student, being the president of the Skull this year. He was injured in football this fall, and con¬ sequently had to give up school until next year. Never mind. Putty, you will always be a member of ’32, Page eighty-nine P€DDL€R 1932 WILLIAM FRANCIS REARDON Friars “Bill” Civil: Prep. Worcester Classical High School Address: 3 3 Granite St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. C. E.: Newman Club. They may confess to a liking for men that are tall, dark, and handsome, but in spite of his lack in these respects {we refuse to feed the lad’s vanity). Bill has never seemed to suffer from a dearth of feminine attention. Perhaps it’s the Peter Pan quality about him, but be that as it may. Bill’s correspondence does much toward wiping out the deficit of the Post Office de¬ partment. The weaker sex is not alone iii its admiration for Bill and notwithstanding a little justifiable envy, any fellow will assure you that he is a great guy. CHARLES REASBY “Charlie” Mechanic: Prep. Mt. Hermon Address: 3 Wachusett, Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E. Charlie has a fondness for arguing on subjects not found in the curriculum, particularly when in the vicinity of Ma” Bab¬ bit’s boarding house. This kept him in trim as a typewriter salesman, at which profession he became quite proficient. But these two occupations never prevented him from discharging his social obligations when those of the opposite sex were con¬ cerned. In spite of these many extra-curricula pursuits, Sigma Beta is unknown to him. He advocates the substitution of other fuels ” for gasoline for use in internal combustion en¬ gines. DAVID RICE ex T R II Skull “Dave” Civil: Gardner High School Address: 139 Woodland Ave., Gardner, Mass. A. S. C. E.: Tech Neivs (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Associate Edi¬ tor (4): Track W” (1): Football W (3, 4); Class Track: Class Football; Class Historian (2a, 3a, 4b) ; Rope Pull. In this smiling young man we have met a real gentleman and scholar. Dave has done almost everything on Tech’s campus and has done it well. He opened his college career by winning a track W, closed it by gaining a well-earned football letter, and filled in the time between by serving on the Tech Neivs Staff and in various class offices. Recognition of his ability and popularity came in his election to Skull and to Tau Beta Pi. If on no other basis, a man who is a survivor of that Civil gang, is entitled to a claim to fame. Page ninety P€DDL€R 1932 JOHN LLOYD RICHMOND Jack A E Mechanic: Prep. Palm Beach High School Address: 73 0 N. St., West Palm Beach, Florida A. S. M. E.; Tech Show (1); Secretary Masque ( 2) : Tech News ( 2). Although Jack is known mostly to the present Juniors and Seniors, he has the fame, honor and distinction of being the only man to sport a full-grown mustache at the S. A. E. House for an indefinite period. No matter what the job, transaction, or project may be, if there is a little profit in it. Jack is always there to see that he gets his share, even if it is only the Tech Blotter. In view of this, his motto is, “See me before you buy anything.” During those long periods of Heat and Power, he may be seen very busy inventing a trick gadget that will overcome all human work, and increase efficiency in the opera¬ tion of boilers, furnaces and the like. His greatest aim is to bo the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the U. S. Steel Corp. someday. Well!— One sometimes wonders. PERCIVAL GINN RIDLEY Perc Electric: Prep. Worcester North High School Address: 26 Hapgood Rd., Worcester, Mass. A. 1. E. E. He’s been running around here for a long time, and has seen many classes come and go, but we like him just the same. He sure can work, as was shown when he decided to put Tech on the map socially, with dances last year. That was one time when he worked plenty, and there was no reward in it for him. The profs in the Electrical Engineering Building call him by his first name, they know him so well. Perc is champion ticket- seller at Tech, which may be one form of experience of value to him when he starts job hunting. When the Plaza reopens, per¬ haps we will see him engineering the ticket office. WILLIAM CHARLES SALMON Friars Bill Electric: Prep. Worcester North High School Address: 205 W. Boylston St., Worcester, Mass. A. 1. E. E.; Newman Club; Rope Pull (1, 2). If you want a favor done and are fortunate enough to be acquainted with smiling Bill, you are certain of his co-operation. He IS one of the most agreeable fellows in the class, as attested to by his host of friends here at Tech, and by his election to the Vice-Presidency of the A. 1. E. E., in which he has been keenly interested. Bill has also been a faithful supporter of schocal dances and athletic contests. A strong supporter of school activities, and a loyal member of the class. Bill has displayed characteristics which give evidence of reasons for his popularity. Page ninety-one P€DDLeR 1932 LAWRENCE JOSEPH SARKOZY “Sok” “Bull” Mechanic: Prep.

September, 1928, saw a new Frosh class in possession of San¬ ford Riley Hall, and above the tinkle of broken windows, the thud of falling plaster, and the clatter of upset furniture, Sok’s voice could always be heard. Blond and husky, he remained in 415 three full years. A Senior now, a newcomer at 73 Insti¬ tute, and a marked change has set in. Feminine wiles have con¬ quered at last, and almost any Saturday evening Sok may be found with a fair companion. Steady, cheerful and always willing to lend a hand—a gentleman. WILLIAM JOHN CULLEN A X A “Bill” Chemist: Prep. Easthampton High School Address: Easthampton, Mass. Basketball (W 2, 3, 4); Cla.ss Basketball (1, 2). Bill was such a quiet, easy going lad around the campus, and in the classroom, that we were surprised to see what a speed king he was on the basketball floor, where he starred for four years. In spite of Bill’s speed and cleverness, he always had quite a time keeping ahead of our dear professors. It is also rumored that Cully is quite a man with the weaker sex. If he makes as good time there as playing basketball, well, just be¬ ware females. JOSEPH MARTIN SILVA “Joe” Chemist: Prep. Taunton High School. Address: School St., Rehoboth, Mass. Camera Club; Skeptical Chymists; Cosmopolitan Club. Joe’s castle is amidst the fumes and vapors of the chem lab. But he fears not the cruel world and has fared forth to beard B. A. in his den and get a reducing valve and oodles of informa¬ tion. “You understand,’’ says Joe, with a little cough, “the Mechanics have a P. P. Staples; the Civils, a Filian; the Electrics, a Maxfield; but have they a Kaiser. A Tombstone? A Dinny Calhane? The cream of the crop, us chemists.’’ Rubinoff. Kreisler, Elman—let them fiddle; Joe must look to his test tubes and retorts. Page ninety-two P€DDL€R 1932 LEON DEOMIDOVITCH SKUROPAT 4 r A “Leo Electric: Prep.

He covered a wide range of experiences before coming here, and he brought the fighting spirit obtained from these experiences into his college life, and has overcome his many handicaps of custom and language through this spirit, linked with perseverance and interest. Engineering is just another profession for him, for in the past he has been a sailor, soldier and adventurer. There are no more lands for him to see. and so he now plans to settle down and play with volts and amps. At Tech he has kept peace and harmony among the foreign boys of the Cosmo Club, contrasted so much with the League of Nations at Geneva. DONALD MARK SMITH A T $2 Skull “Smitty “Don Chemist: Prep.

(4); Football “W” (2, 3, 4) ; Track “W” (1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country “W” (1) : Cheer Leader “W” (3, 4) ; Class Foot¬ ball ; Class Track. Judging from the activities listed above. Smitty surely did his share towards helping Tech hold its place when it comes to student work and student participation. However, his atten¬ tions were not wholly taken up in student activities, for he really did come to Tech to get an education and learn all about chemistry. Although only a mere youngster as far as age is concerned, Don certainly was a high-powered leader. ELLMAN ROGERS SMITH e X Mechanic: Prep.Hebron Academy . Address: 299 Pleasant St., E. Walpole, Mass. A. S. M. E.: Glee Club (1, 2, 3) Smitty is one of those few fellows who have the technique of the five-day week-end down to perfection. His sojourns to the environs of Boston are frequent, and he is always mysteri¬ ously silent about the whole affair. No doubt the early future will see him definitely connected to something worthwhile, Smitty has been one of the mainstays of our Glee Club, but would always turn down very modestly an impromtu invitation to sing as only he knows how. He has guided the destinies of his fraternity house for the past year and was very successful. His custom-built Essex has been the pride of his heart and a necessary part of his existence. Page ninety-three P€DDL€R 1932 WILLIAM ARTHUR SNELL “Bill” “Schnautz Chemist ' . Prep. Mary E. Wells High. Southbridge Address ' . 30 Chapin St., Southbridge, Mass. Although primarily handicapped with a Southbridge origin. Bill seems to have profited much by the cultural courses at l ech and greets the diligent inquisitors into the intricacies of aromatic chemistry with Hello, scab!” instead of Hi, scab!” It is even rumored that his first million will be used in the cause of the Arts at W. P. I. Bill has been accused of burning the proverbial midnight oil, but it often proved fortunate for several midnight Romeos before Chem. Engin. class. We feel that with his silent perseverance it will not be long before he finds the waterproof dobby factor for slide rule calculations. EUGENE WILBUR SOMERVILLE T B II 2 H “Sommy” Electric ' . Prep. Clinton High School Address: 439 Main St., Clinton, Mass. A. I. E. E.: Rope Pull (1 (2) ; Class Bowling. Sommy has been earning scholastic honors regularly since his freshman year and his record is climaxed by being invited to join both Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi, not to mention the honor of being known as the intellectual mainstay of division D-1. But besides studying and commuting between Worcester and Clinton, Sommy is also known as a bowler of questionable ability. Although he has never been known to do so, as this book goes to press, he says that in the near future he will escort one of Clinton’s favorite daughters to a Tech affair, in order that he may properly demonstrate his proficiency in the terpsi- chorean art. PRANK ERNEST SOUTH i r A “Sonny” “Stump” Electric: Prep. Thayer Academy Address: 87 Middle St., Braintree, Mass. Track (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Junior Prom Com.; Junior Mar¬ shall; Chairman Senior Prom Com.; Tech Council, (2, 3); Goat’s Head Com.; Class Secretary (2, 3). Although Sonny is a small stump from Braintree he sure carried away all honors in our Ereshman Year as the strongest man in the class. Por four years he dashed the 100 and 220 on the track, always to score for Tech. He was also very busy with other activities on and outside the Campus. His calm, but cheerful and willing disposition has won many friends for him. After Tech he plans to take up business law, and we know that he will successfully make both an engineer and business man, out in the west, where he expects to start a new branch of Braintree. Page ninety-four P€DDL€R 1932 ELLIS RUSSELL SPAULDING e T T H II S “El Aeronautic: Prep. Keene High School Address: 17 Wilder St., Keene, N. H. A. S. M. E., Vice President: Class Day Committee. Keene, N. H., boasts of the sandy-haired lad known about the campus as Ell Spaulding. Ell is one of those fellows who practices what he preaches when he says, “School is a 100% efficiency proposition, where the output is equal to the in-put.’’ “Do all things well,” has been his motto. We must certainly congratulate a man whose name has appeared consistently in the high honors group. However Ell has found time to be an ardent supporter of all social activities on the Hill. Ask him if he doesn ' t believe, also, that a little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. GEORGE WHITMORE STRATTON A X A Mechanic: Prep. Eramingham High School Address: 157 Irving St., Eramingham, Mass. A. S. M. E. George has travelled several thousand miles to get his college education. It is not very far to Eramingham. but when one commutes between there and Worcester six days a week, during every college term, the miles m.ount up quite rapidly. No one has ever been able to find out definitely why he chose to com¬ mute, although there are many theories which are based mostly on a few incidents that were known to occur. May occasions present themselves so that George will never have to leave the old home town! ERANCIS M.SULLIVAN Eriars “Harp Chemist: Prep. Springfield Technical High School Address: Springfield, Mass. Class Track (1, 2); Track (1, 2, 5, 4): “W” (2, 3, 4) ; Captain, (4) ; Newman Club; Band. Sully is one of the few consistently straight Chemists, and isn’t that something. He is known to most of us because of his broad smile, blaring trumpet, and track ability. Little need be said about his infectious smile, much about his ex¬ tended trumpet practice, and still more about his sprinting ability. Up to Ed Milde’s exit, his trumpet was his secret pa,ssion, but from then on track was his chief interest, and along that line he consistently captured the honors for Tech in the sprints. Sully was very fond of Springfield, and not solely because he lived there. Lucky fellow, in more ways than one, but doesn’t he deserve it. Page ninety-jive P€DDL€R 1932 STANLEY WILLIAM SWIPP e X Stan” Mechanic: Prep. Worcester South High School Address: 1 Clapp Court, Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E. (2, 3, 4), Secretary (3), President (4) ; Tech Council: Newman Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Eootball (2, 3, 4) ; Class Basketball (1, 2) ; Class Eootball, Captain (2) ; Rope Pull. Stan is one of the few Tech students who has been able to mix athletics and studies successfully. This is attested to by his commendable performances on the varsity football team as well as on his fraternity teams, and by his favorable standing in the class room. Besides his athletic endeavors. Stan has been a tireless worker for the interests of the A. S. M. E., increasing the interest and membership in it several times. If he goes through life with the same enthusiasm which he has manifested during his sta at Tech, Stan will be a credit to his Alma Mater. SIDNEY THUNE Sid” Chemist: Prep. Norwich Eree Acadamy Address: Norwich. Conn. Class Soccer (2) ; Rope Pull (1, 2) ; PEDDLER (2, 3, 4), Junior Editor (3), Associate Editor (4). Out from the Valley of Handsome Men(?) came Sidney Thune to add to the fame of ’3 2. The added fame is doubtful, but Sid’s presence was always felt. Work and Sid did not get along any too well, but he was clever enough to show himself to advantage at opportune moments, and to good advantage at that, which counts heavily. So be it! Sid was a four-year man, v hich is more than most of us can say. UUNO ENSIO TILLAN TilUe” Civil: Prep. Springfield Technical High School Address: Springfield, Mass. A. S. C. E.: Soccer a ' Wf” (1, 2, 3, 4;; Co-Captain (4) : Track (1, 2, 3, 4). If you wanted Tilly you could always find him in those Saturday afternoon basketball games in the gym. Maybe it was there that he learned some of the tactics that made him such a success on the soccer field. He ' s the one whose lecture notes always turned out to be pictures of trucks or steam shovels. Always ready with an apt remark, he could be counted on to make even the dullest course interesting—ask any senior civil. Page ninety-six I I €DDL€R 1932 JOHN RICHARD TINKER A T V. Tink M Lidhorse Mechanic: Prep. Nashua High School Address: 25 Norton St., Nashua, N. H. A. S. M. E.: Football (1, 2, 3, 4) “W” ; Swimming (1, 2, 3. 4) “sWt”; Class Swimming (I, 2, 3); Track (1) ; Basketball Seconds (4) ; Baseball (4). This serious-minded individual from Nashua has unobtru¬ sively forged his way into the good will and friendship of all those who have come in contact with him. His affection for sloshing and wallowing in the aqueous medium has given him a complete mastery over the art of propelling himself through the water and of wiggling and squirming his way through the mud and opposing linemen on the football field. So apparent was his ability of plowing over a muddy field that the meta¬ phoric title of Mudhorse was awarded him. The opponents of Tech on the gridiron and in the pool will not easily forget his all-around abilities. If oceans arc to be swum, Tink will swim them! FERDINAND A. TRAUTNER A X A Ferdie Electric: Prep. Fitchburg High Address: Fitchburg, Mass. Track (1, 2, 3. 4); Class Track (1. 2); Football (3, 4) ; Rope Pull (1, 2) ; Interfraternity Council. Ferdie joined our class after having spent a little more than a year in the soot and smoke of Pittsburgh, showing the Westing- house Company how things were done up here at Tech. Throw¬ ing things around seems to be one of his hobbies, not necessarily books or furniture, but weights for our track team. Throwing a discus might be good experience for a dish-washer, if no other jobs are available after graduation, Ferdie is another member of the Chaffin Swimming Association. He was initiated into that exclusive group when he tried the swimming in the big copper-lined weighing tank at the Hydraulic Laboratory. EDWIN CHARLES TUUKKANEN “Ed” Chemist: Prep. Worcester North High School Address: 221 Grove St., Worcester, Mass. Skeptical Chemists. Eddie is of that quiet, self-contained type, which takes a lot of knowing and understanding to appreciate. He came to Tech with one purpose in mind, and achieved his goal, as few of the rest of us have. Don’t think that Tuukky never unbent though! Many a noon hour on the “perch has been a hilarious time because of his unobtrusive, yet discerning humor. His wise cracks enlivened many a long, dreary lab class or lec¬ ture. The thing that we will remember the longest about Eddie is his ability as a spur of the moment speaker. Don’t you think that you should go into politics, Ed? Page ninety-seven PCDDLCR 1932 CHESTER A. WERME e X “Chet” Mechanic. Prep. South High Address: 7 Wyola Drive, Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Goat’s Head Committee: Camera Club; Senior Prom Committee; Rope Pull; Football (2, 3); (“V ” 4); Track (2, 4); (“W” 3); Swim¬ ming ( 1, 4). Chet was one of those men who were busy during every sea¬ son of the year. Football in the fall, swimming during the winter, and track during the spring, were some of the things which kept his time filled; while during the summer months, sculling on Lake Quinsigamond occupied his Sundays. He is not only large in size, but he is of a generous nature besides. Chet can always be counted upon to help anyone in distress, either with advice or a helping hand. Chet was never known to miss a dance on the Hill, while on football trips his success in finding the belles” of the town was always of the best. FREDERICK FULLER WHITFORD A T U “Plug” Mechanic: Prep. Paterson Boys’ School Address: Hawthorne, N. J. Masque; Glee Club: Class President (la, lb). How and why Fred came to Worcester Tech from way down in New Jersey is a matter of conjecture, but we sincerely thank him for guiding the destiny of our class during the freshman year, although we were envious of the free airplane rides he took exhibiting the Goat’s Head to the Sophomores. Built for comfort rather than speed. Plug never hurries, not even for eight o’clock, but continues along at his own pace. His afternoons off come in handy for the extra forty winks. His unlimited good-nature and ready wit make him popular with all. PAYSON R. WHITNEY ex S S “Pay” Mechanic: Prep. Classical High Address: 3 9 Laconia Road. Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.: Treasurer (4) ; Goat’s Head Committee ( 1 , 2 ). Success depends upon decisive steps taken after deliberate planning. This budding engineer planned well, and once he mapped out a solution for a problem we all knew that that one was settled for good and all. Also bear in mind the fact that a true engineer is fundamentally lazy about doing extra work. To outward appearances Pay was not socially minded in his first year at Tech, but a new Ford did its full share in speeding things up. The roads to Wheaton, and now to Boston, are ones very familiar to this same Ford. His scholastic ability ad¬ mitted him to membership in Pinky’s select aero group and to Sigma Xi. Page ninety-eight P€DDL€R 1932 JOSEPH TARBELL WIGHT 1? e II e T “Joe” Mechanic: Prep. Chauncy Hall Address: 52 Clearway St., Boston, Mass. Joseph Tarbell Wight, otherwise known as Joe, hails from Boston. Realizing the advantages of a smaller institute, Joe came here from M. I. T, last winter. Joe, since his coming here, has made many friends both in Worcester and in Whitins- ville by means of his infectious smile and genial personality. Needless to say, his favorite pastimes are keeping tabs on the newest of automobiles and commenting on the efficaciousness of certain of his instructors. CARY CHASE WILSON A T {} “Cary” Chemist: Prep. Steven High School Address: 203 Broad St., Claremont, N. H. Soccer (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Tennis (1, 2, 3, 4) ; (“tWt” 2, 3, 4); Co-Captain (4); Dormitory Committee; Masque: Knights of the Road. One of the most important discoveries made by chemical re¬ search took place at Tech recently. After exhaustive study and endless tests it was determined that the smoothness of Cary Wilson’s dancing was partially due to lubrication with banana oil. Incidentally, Cary has basely deserted the amateur ranks and has lined his pockets on more than one occasion. It was noted that the presence of sodium has a peculiar effect on Cary. Even Cary finds this difficult to explain. Being a true chemist, Co-Captain Wilson spends his free moments at tennis. Soccer and dramatics have also played their part in Cary’s outside cur¬ riculum. CLELAN GLEASON WINN “Windy” Mechanic: Prep. Pepperell High School Address: Lowell St., East Pepperell, Mass. A. S. M. E. Lour years ago Windy descended from the steppes of East Pepperell and proceeded to take his place in our midst. Some¬ what “East Peppcrelly’’ at first, he soon became acclimated to the urban atmosphere of the “Heart of the Commonwealth’’ in more ways than one. Ladies? Oh, yes! He was very fond of the dimpled ones under five feet six. but shrewd enough to realize that women and dynamics don’t mix. Always willing to help his classmates, he does it in an unassuming way.

Tinker, ’32 Page one hundred twenty-three P€I DL€R 1932 FOOTBALL 1931 D uring the last week in September the largest squad in the history of our college answered the opening call for candidates for the varsity football team. Among them were a number of veterans including Cap¬ tain Putnam, Jimmy Leach, Johnny Molloy, Bill Asp, Dave Rice, Rocco LaPenta, Jock Maggiacomo, Bull Larson, and Stan Swipp. With this wealth of material, Pete Bigler was able to develop a team that made a creditable showing for Tech. On a day much better suited for baseball. Tech opened its 1931 football season at Alumni Field, Saturday, October 4, by bowing in a tight battle to the Coast Guard Academy, 7 to 6. The first period saw Drake and Tinker best Forney in a kicking duel that kept the ball in Coast Guard territory most of the time. In the second period. Tech’s running attack failed to make much headway as the visitors repeatedly broke through to nail the ball carrier for a loss, and again Drake and Tinker had to resort to kicking. Johnny Tinker’s kicking kept the ball in the visitor’s territory most of the third period until a Tech fumble allowed the ball to be advanced to Tech’s five-yard line. After holding for four downs, a blocked kick gave the ball to the Coast Guard on Tech’s five-yard line. All the scoring was done in the final period after the Engineers had kept the Sailors in their own territory for most of the game. The boys in blue were the first to score, when David went over from the two-yard line. Fourney, a drop-kick expert, then put the ball over the cross-bar to give the Coast Guard a 7-0 lead. With only five minutes left to play, Jimmy Leach, Tech’s scrappy end, picked up a fumble by Nadon that had not touched the ground, and galloped 45 yards for a touchdown. The placement kick for the extra point was blocked. The Crimson and Gray was well on its way to another score with Drake and Leach completing several forw ard passes as the game drew to a close. On the following Saturday, Captain Putnam led his team to a victory over Trinity at Hartford. Showing a great improvement over the form displayed against the Coast Guard, our boys rompe d to a 1 3 to 7 score. Early in the second period, a recovered fumble put Fogg in a position to score from the fifteen yard line. Almost immediately after the opening of the third quarter. Tinker intercepted a Trinity forward pass and was finally stopped on the defenders’ 35-yard marker. Putnam then advanced the ball to the 5-yard line in two plays, following which Drake scored, with Leach making the extra point. It was at this point that Wadlow, after being almost stopped at the line of scrimmage, broke into the clear, eluded Tech’s secondary de¬ fense, and ran 83 yards for a touchdown. Following a victory over the Trinity team, the Crimson and Gray traveled to Amherst with high hopes of placing another defeat on the Amherst eleven which had not as yet won a game, but they were set back by the score of 19-6. The Lord Jeff fans had a scare in the first quarter when the score read Tech 6, Amherst 0. Cadigan, the Amherst back, who later became the star of the game, fumbled one of Mudhorse Tinker’s high-soaring punts on the Jeff’s 15-yard line, and Tech recovered the pigskin. Bill Asp brought the ball closer to the golal line and then Tinker plunged over for a touch¬ down, giving Tech its momentary lead. Following this sudden flash by the Page one hundred twenty-jour Pe DLCR 1932 Crimson and Gray, Cadigan with the aid of DePasqua, smashed and twisted his way through the Tech defensive for three touchdowns. It was in this hard fought game that Captain Putnam received the injury that prevented him from playing the rest of the season. On the following Saturday the Tech team, playing the best brand of ball that they had shown all season, went down to defeat by three points at the hands of a fast but light Massachusetts State gridiron combination. After being held completely bottled up by the inspired Tech eleven, the sensational Louis Bush tossed the oval into the waiting arms of Lefty Harris, who gal¬ loped 57-yards down the field before being tackled from behind. Here, on the enemy twenty-yard line, the Bigler-men started a march for a touchdown. Fogg bucked the line for a short gain, and Drake passed to Harris for another first down. Harris plunged to the two-yard line, and the whistle sounded the end of the first half, robbing Tech of a touchdown and a probable victory. The Engineer crew dame back strong in the second half, but both teams were very powerful on the defensive. State’s big drive came in the final period when several end runs protected by splendid interference brought the ball to the local 6-yard line. Here Bush was thrown for a fifteen-yard loss. On the next play he was thrown for another loss, this time fumbling the ball. The Amherst eleven recovered and Captain Foskett dropped back into kicking position and placed the pigskin squarely over the cross-bar for the three points that eventually won the game. If the total gained yardage and the number of first downs were the method of determining the final score of a football game, the final score of the battle between Arnold and Tech would have given Tech an overwhelm¬ ing victory, instead of the 0-0 that remained on the scoreboard when the final whistle had blown. The Tech backs plowed through the New Haven team’s line as though it were so much tissue paper, that is. in any part of the field in front of the Arnold five-yard marker; there, the tissue paper seemed miraculously changed to a brick wall. After the opening kick-off, the Engineers started on a 62-yard march to the Arnold five-yard line, where the Arnold quarter-back intercepted a pass and kicked out of danger, only to have the Crimson and Gray return the ball on su ccessive drives to the five- yard line. In the third quarter the ball was again advanced to the five-yard line, but this time the Arnold team did not kick after stopping the power drives of Asp and ETarris, but tried a successful trick play. Sevigny, the Arnold full-back, faked a punt and Berman, the diminutive left halLback made a thirty yard dash to his thirty-five yard line where he was almost clear for a touchdown, but Fogg saved the day with a flying tackle. On the next play Berman again succeeded to reel off thirty yards, but there the Arnold drive was halted. At this point Tech again took command but their drives on the Arnold goal were unsuccessful. Once again as has been the case for the last two years. Tech s football team fell before Rhode Island State, as Ken Goff ran wild. By far the fastest man on the field, Goff, repeatedly broke away again and again to score four touchdowns and completely wreck the whole Tech team. Tech showed clearly the havoc that injuries had played with the team, with Putnam, Asp, Smith and Drake missing from the backfield, and Werme from the line. Aided by the wonderful blocking of Cragan, Goff ran 60, 87, 30, and 35 Page one hundred twenty-five peDDL€R wmmm 1932 yards for touchdowns. With Ken Goff graduating this year it is likely that Tech will at last shake the jinx that the Clam Diggers have had on Tech for the last three years. Traveling to Troy to capture their objective and last game of the season, the Tech gridsters patched up their somewhat ragged record to a fairly re¬ spectable one, considering the conditions under which most of the games were played. The game at R. P. I. was a close and thrilling one, both sides threatening to score several times. During the first period the R. P. I. aggregation held the ball in the W. P. I. territory most of the time. A stub¬ born defense seemed to increase the Crimson and Gray morale for they marched steadily to the Rensselaer 7-yard line where they lost the ball on downs. After Rensselaer punted out of danger. Tinker lead another deter¬ mined assault on the Cherry and White goal line. Two passes. Tinker to Fogg, and an end sweep by Harris put the pigskin on the 7-yard line, and a well executed lateral, Harris to Tinker, brought the ball to rest on the cross hatched section. Leach dropped back into position and booted the ball onto the goal post where it hung as though undetermined which way to fall, and then dropped over in favor of W. P. I. During the remainder of the game, the ball traveled continually up and down the field with no side gaining a decided advantage. Rensselaer ' s final effort was a long forward that was battered down by Tinker in the end zone. Many of the regulars are gradulating this year, but Pete Bigler developed many of the members of the squad this year, and has a large group of experi¬ enced material for the 1932 aggregation. The uncertainty of injury makes it difficult to predict the future, but with such leadership as Captain-elect Maggiacomo and such a large group of experienced material from which to select the varsity, it is reasonable to believe that the 1932 season holds much in store for the Crimson and Gray. This past season was marked by the serious injury that Don Putnam, the scrappy Tech captain received. His iron nerve was displayed when he played through part of the season in an injured condition. His appearance on the field was terminated when his injury became so serious that he had to be removed to a hospital where he remained for a month.

Captain Russ Purring- ton, Bill Asp, and Bill Cullen of the senior class were veterans tried and true of many previous cam¬ paigns. Johnny Smith, Irv Gartrell, and Tack Hammer were also players of proven varsity mettle. In addition there were the reserves of the previous season including Jimmy Leach, Mike Skwarek, Sunny Norton, Jack Hendrickson, and Gidge Hodg- kinson. No Freshmen appeared to be of sufficient caliber to deserve first squad rating. Pete Bigler coached the candidates in early preparation for a fast passing and running attack with a man-to-man defense. In the last half of the pre-season clash with the Whitin Community five, the Tech aggregation dis¬ played the flashy attack and persistent defense that was to typify its play for the majority of the schedule. Featuring the threat of running guards. Bill Asp and Bill Cullen, the team threw a last quarter scare to the Community rooters that was only abated when the final whistle blew, but the Tech team was on the short end of a 36-31 score. Having thus been tested under fire, the 193 1-32 basketball team set out to invade the intercollegiate ranks. Opening the season at Boston with Boston Universtiy, Tech upset the strong, undefeated Terrier five 34-27. Tech’s play was much the superior throughout the game. In winning this engagement, the team broke an out-of-town losing streak of several year’s duration. Johnny Smith was the high scorer, and Tech’s stellar guards. Bill Asp and Bill Cullen, were superb both on the defense and attack. In the first home game the Tech hoopsters engaged the rangy U. S. Coast Guard team. Our 38-26 vic¬ tory may be traced to the calm, deliberate manner in whi ch the home team solved the visitors zone de¬ fense. Irv Gartrell and Johnny Smith kept the team out ahead with their deadly marksmanship, each accounting for fourteen points. This game was the first meeting of the two colleges on the court, and the first setback for the Cost Guard of the year. On the home floor the Boynton quintet displayed some fine wares before the Brown Bears. Tech had the edge the first half and retired with a modest lead of six points. Setting a blistering pace that was climaxed by a sensational scoring spree early in the second period, the Crimson and Gray completely routed the invaders with a final score of 43-25. Our first string retired in a blaze of glory toward the end of the game, and the reserves maintained the defense. Captain Farrington Page one hundred twenty-eight P€DDL€R 1932 In upsetting the highly touted Bruins, the Tech hoopsters stretched their winning streak to three straight games. The prospects for a successful season were so bright at this point that comments of a championship team were rife in the New England papers. On the small floor of the Tufts gym in Medford, the Tech team received its first setback. With its fast running offense crippled by the cramped space, the team strove valiantly to uphold its record by frenzied onslaughts on the Jumbo basket. At the half the score was tied at eleven all. With five minutes left to play in the last half, the teams were deadlocked at 20-20. Here the Tufts aggregation applied additional pressure and forged ahead to win by the narrow margin 25-23. Bill Asp and Bill Cullen displayed an especially fine brand of ball throughout the contest. In the Alumni Gym the team next encountered the rangy Wesleyan quintet. From the start it was obvious that the home team was out to return to the victory column. The early part of the first half was char¬ acterized by sterling defensive play by both teams. Tech broke away to lead 22-10 at the half, he Boynton Hill aggregation struck a fast pace the last half and maintained the lead with a much better passing and shooting play. The forwards, Capt. Russ Purrington and Irv Gartrell, lead in the scoring department as the team won 38-26. A large delegation of supporters followed the team to Springfield as it engaged the Gymnasts. The contest was very disappointing to the Wor- cesterites. Springfield was at the top of her wave from which she soon toppled for the greater part of the remainder of the season. Tech in a despondent slump, secured only 20 points to Springfield’s 43. The game was closely contested at first, but the strength of numerous reserves began to tell the story before half time. Bill Asp played an excellent defensive game, breaking up threat after threat. Worcester was tagged with a second defeat in a row by the N. H. State team. An effective attack led by Johnny Smith and Irv Gartrell placed Wor¬ cester Tech on top at half time 15-9. An over¬ abundance of personal fouls caused cautious playing on Tech’s part in the last half and N. H. State forged ahead with a smooth functioning attack. The Wildcats were leading 32-22 as the game ended. Johnny Smith and Tack Hammer tied for scoring honors. A very heartening contest was staged with Mass State on the home court. A much heralded Amherst five was repulsed 39-31. The first half of the game was rather erratic, with passes going wild and shots John Noreiha failing to click. The visitors were sitting pretty 23- Bill Asp Page one hundred twenty-nine PCDDLCR 1932 17 as the game was half over. After the interim the Crimson and Gray hoopsters inaugurated a barrage that ended with a final settlement of 39-31 with the visitors holding the empty bag. Johnny Smith was the individual star with four field goals and seven shots from the foul line to his credit. At this point in the season two valuable players were lost to the team by ineligibility and sickness. Bill Cullen had played a stellar role as a running guard all season. While guarding his opponent to perfection, he was a continual scoring threat. His punch was missed in the remaining games. Tack Hammer, the second man to leave the team’s ranks, had proven himself a dangerous forward and had earned himself a place on the “six-man varsity.” In the South High Gym, Tech had little diffi¬ culty in taking Clark into camp. The game was a listless affair for the most part, personal fouls were numerous, and ragged passwork in evidence. On occasions the Tech team showed the flash of finesse of its regular style and overstepped all opposition. The Boynton Hillers led at half time, were tied up soon after, and then stepped out to win easily 34-26. Johnny Smith rippled the net most consistently for the Tech team. Against Providence College, Tech was powerless. Several different Tech combinations availed little against three complete Providence teams. Provi¬ dence controlled the game from the outset with its bunch of hawk-eyes, and only once did Tech show a flash of its former speed and accurate passwork. The final score was 54-24. The second game of the annual Clark series was played in the Alumni Gym. With Johnny Smith and Irv Gartrell starring on the offense. Bill Asp on the defense. Tech romped home to a 43-23 victory. A closely contested game was dropped to Trinity at Hartford 27-23. In the last game of the season Tech encountered a point-a-minute aggregation in R. I. State, and nearly matched them point for point. The first half was offense against offense and the results were even 27-27. Long deadly passes were thorns in Tech’s hide. Both teams continued the fine fast playing after the half, but Tech was the less fortunate. Dame Fortune was grim. The score steadily mounted as the minutes flew by. At the final gun R. I. State had the unimposing lead of 53-49. Irv Gartrell was the leading scorer, closely followed by Johnny Smith and Mike Skwarek.

The relay team started the ball rolling with a de¬ cisive victory over Boston University in the K. of C. meet in Boston. Jensen, P. Sullivan, F. Sullivan, and Nyquist ran for Tech. Two weeks later. Tech’s quartet again headed for Boston, and this time, in the B. A. A. Relay, Egan, P. Sullivan, F. Sullivan, and Jensen brought the colors in far ahead of the delegation from Colby. A week later in the University Club meet. Tech lost to this same Colby team for its only defeat. In this race Tech was all set for another win but on the last lap Jensen was pushed off the track and the race was lost. The biggest day for the relay team w ' as probably at the A. A. U. games in Providence. Here both the one-mile and quarter-mile teams provided the thrills of the entire meet. The one-mile quartet found itself fifteen yards behind Boston University at the half way mark, but Jensen and F. Sullivan made this up and added a margin of at least fifteen yards more. In this same meet the quarter-mile team provided another hair raising race. The first lap saw Tech trailing Brown fifteen yards, but again Jensen pro¬ vided the big push that turned back the Brown delegation. Jensen made up the fifteen yard loss and F. Sullivan added ten more to completely humble the Brown quartet. The indoor track team was equally successful in its two meets. In its first meet, the team ran wild with Boston University and won 59-18. In this meet two records fell. Harry Jensen took the 600 with a time of 1:24 2 5 seconds, thus lowering the record made by Leamy four years ago. The second record to fall was in the relay when Tech chalked up a time of 2:17 1 5 seconds. George Fyman, Tech’s only entrant in the hurdles, had little trouble in taking first place. Buell easily took the mile run. The 300-yard dash was won by Captain Sullivan and proved to be one of the best races of the day. He took an early lead on the first lap and won easily in 37 4 5 seconds which is within 1 5 of tra ck record. Tech made a clean sweep of the 600-yard H. Pratt Manager Page one hundred thirty-two Johnstone P- Sullivan Pratt Egan Jensen F. Sullivan Nyquist run as Jensen, Paul Sullivan and Bill Denning finished in that order. Tech was just as good in the 1,000-yard run as Granger, Doyle, and Nyquist took the first three places. On March 8 Tech invaded Amherst and romped to an easy win over the Mass. State team. The score was 49-23. State took a short lived lead in the first event when Puyne beat George Lyman by inches in the hurdles. However, Tech came back with a grand slam in the 35-yard dash when Egan, Johnson, and Sullivan finished in that order. Buell easily won the mile and Stan Bremer w as barely nosed cut of second place and had to be content with third. Sullivan copped the 300 with Jensen finishing second. Tech made another clean sweep when Joe Doyle, Granger, and Nyquist finished first, second, and third in the 1,000-yard run. The 600 proved to be the only real race of the afternoon. Pruyne of State held the leiad until the last lap when a final spurt by Jensen gave Tech another first. Honors were split in the field events with Tech taking the high jump and State taking the shot put. Gordon Whitcomb won the high jump when he scaled the bar at 5 feet, 6]. inches.

Manager Oliver Johnstone . Coach Despite the loss of many veterans, the W. P. E Harriers faced the 1931 cross-country season with a good deal of optimism. In the first meet of the season the Engineers were defeated by a strong team from Mass. State. Acting-Captain, Vinny Buell, managed to score a first place, and L. Gran¬ ger a second, but the next W. P. I. runner to come in was R. Granger who copped eighth place. The Tech runners again met defeat in their meet, this time with the R. I. State runners. In this meet, Vinny Buell again man¬ aged to cop first place, but he was closely followed by four members of the R. I. State team, in spite of the fact that his time w,as but fifty seconds less than the record held by Phil Pierce. The next man to come in was L. Granger, but he was closely followed by two R. I. State men. The W. P. I. group were decisively beaten by the harriers from Springfield College. In this meet Vinny Buell had to be content with a second place. The next man to finish for the Engineers was L. Granger in eighth position. In the last cross-country run of the season the Engineers were beaten by the R. P. I. team by a score of 25-30. Page one hundred thirty-jour PeDDLCR 1932 1931 TRACK SEASON ' HE outdoor track season of 1931 was one of the most successful seasons ever experienced by a Tech aggregation. This statement is not only based on the number of meets won, and the showing made in the intercolle¬ giate meet, but on the number of candidates for the team, and the excellent spirit shown by the track and field competitors. The most outstanding man on the squad was Captain Phil Pierce, who took first place in every dual meet in the two-mile race, and who also copped the leading position in the Intercollegiates. Phil came very close to the record of 9 minutes and 57 seconds on more than one occasion. In the first outdoor dual meet of the season. Tufts was downed 99-36, the Engineers scoring heavily in both the track and field events. The high scorers were Jensen, who won the 100 and 220-yard dashes, and Kalista, the fresh¬ man strong man, who took first in the discus and second in the hammer and javelin events. One of the features of the meet was Tech’s scoring of a clean sweep in five events, taking all three places in the 100-yard dash, mile, two mile, the quarter-mile, and the hammer throw. The next dual attraction offered was the Amherst-Tech engagement at Alumni Field. T ' he Purple warriors came out of the wilds of Amherst all primed for action, as was well illustrated when one looked at the final score which read 86-49 in favor of the Lord Jeffersonians. The Crimson and Gray crew scored quite a few points in the running events, but the Sabrina outfit scored heavily in the field events, and, as a result, the encounter with the Jeffs proved to be more or less of a walk-away for the Amherst aggre¬ gation. The Massachusetts State team journeyed to Worcester a week after the Amherst meet, and the Boynton Hillers proceeded to give the former farmers a terrific shellacing to the tune of 107 1 3 to 26 2 3. This high total which was rolled up by the Tech squad will probably stand on record as the greatest number of points ever scored by a W. P. I. team in a dual meet. Kalista, the freshman weight star, again led the team in point scoring by winning the discus and hammer throw, and placing third in the shot and javelin. Because of a ruling which bars freshmen from entering the Inter¬ collegiates, this first year man was unable to compete again this year and without him. Tech was sadly handicapped the next week when it was host to the members of the Eastern Intercollegiate Association. Right behind Kalista in scoring, were Francis Sullivan and George Lyman. Sullivan scored two victories in the dashes for a total of ten points and Lyman won the 120 high hurdles, placed second in the high jump and took third in the running broad for a total of nine. Page one hundred thirty-five P€PI L€R ' 3i 1932 In the Intercollegiates, Tech placed third, accomplishing fine work in a meet where the competition was keen, and where fast times were made. The only first place that was won by a wearer of the Crimson and Gray was the two-mile which went to Captain Pierce. Ungerer was in a triple tie for first in his specialty, the pole-vault. Woodward won a close second in the 440-yard dash and Sullivan and Jensen took second and third respectively, in the 220-yard sprint event. When Ungerer tied for first in the pole-vault, a new school record of 11 ft. 5yi inches was set. Although many valuable men will be lost by graduation, notably Captain Pierce, Mace, and Duchacek, their places will be filled by capable men. With the present material constantly improving in a more than natural man¬ ner, the 1932 track team promises not only to continue to uphold the ad¬ mirable record set by this year’s team and preceding outfits, but also to eclipse the previous enviable showings of the Johnstonites.

The dimunitive captain, Ted Coe, led the group of letter men con¬ sisting of Bill Asp, Don Putnam, Ken Perry, George Hanson, Bert Lanciault, Russ Purrington, Lefty An¬ derson, Jimmie Leach, and Irv Gartrell. John Molloy, one of the reserves of the previous year, and Gordon Shaw were candidates for understudy to Bert Lanciault at the receiving end of the battery. The hot corner at third, left vacant by Capt. Joe Tawter’s graduation, was filled by shifting Gartrell in from the outer garden. New material to bolster up the squad was extremely scanty. Only three Freshmen were retained to help keep the bench warm; Johnny Noreika, an outfielder, Stuffy Mak- redis, an infielder, and A1 Koziol, a pitcher. The season opened auspiciously on the home grounds with a heads-up ballgame with Norwich. The invaders tallied twice in the first stanza and once in the second: the Boynton lads countered with two runs. After the second inning Lefty Anderson held the Horsemen scoreless with a well-controlled assortment of hooks and an excellent change of pace. In the sixth inning. Bill Asp and Gartrell poled out singles in quick succession. Bill scoring on a wild pitch by Stufflebeam, the Norwich pitcher. The lucky seventh and a squeeze play earned two runs and the ballgame for the Engineers. Johnny Noreika, a freshman, played an ex¬ cellent game in the outer garden, well-meriting his varsity position. Northeastern brought a jinx to Worcester April 25th, and left it here in our posession. Their batters went on a hitting spree and ran riot over the erratic Tech infield to a 16-0 victory. On the first trip, Bigler’s charges invaded Hart¬ ford to engage the undefeated Trinity club. Up until the sixth inning it was anybody’s ballgame, but from the seventh on, the Trinity nine found Anderson’s style to their liking. A ninth inning rally by Tech fell short of its mark, and the curtain fell with a final score of 13-7. At Kingston, the Tech nine made the R. 1. State team a gift of ten runs in the first frame, and then settled down to play fairly steadily for the remainder of the session. Lefty Anderson assumed the duties on the mound after the disastrous first inning, and allowed but four runs. The score was 14-1. Returning to Alumni Field after two weeks of Journeying, the Engineers faced Mass. State. Russ Purrington pitched a steady game, allowing but nine scattered Singles, but he received but little aid from Manager Jones r Captain Lanciault Page one hundred thirty-eight P€DDL€R 1932 his team mates either in the field or at bat. The result was a defeat, 4-0. Tech staged a comeback on the Clark diamond May 10th. In winning the game 13-9, Tech garnered six¬ teen hits. Don Putnam led the forces in this depart¬ ment with a homer, a double, and a single out of five trips to the plate. Playing the best brand of ball since the Norwich encounter, the Tech aggregation smothered three Clark hurlers under an avalanche of base hits. The trip to Durham availed Worcester Tech nothing. Errors in crucial moments lost the game, 6-1. Johnny Noreika, Tech’s left fielder, led the hitting for the day with three hits out of four times at bat. The next to the last game of the season was dropped to Amherst at Alumni Field, 8-0. Both sides fumbled the ball frequently, but fate seemed to be on the side of the Lord Jeffrey men, and Tech couldn’t push a man across the plate. Tech won the final game of the season, a return fracas with Clark. Tech maintained a slender lead through¬ out the game to win 5-3. Thus a mediocre season ended. Between the pinnacles of the Norwich game and the Clark engagements there were despondent slumps punctured only by heads-up ball games with Mass. State and N. H. State. At the close of the schedule the following players were awarded the varsity “W”: Capt. Ted Coe, Bert Lanciault, Bill Asp, Jimmie Leach, Don Putnam, Irv Gartrell, Lefty Anderson, Russ Purington, Johnny Noreika. The letter men elected Bert Lanciault to pilot them through the vicissitudes of the 1932 season. The graduation of Ted Coe, Lefty Anderson, and Ken Perry from the ranks leaves a nucleus of six experienced players around whom the 1932 team will probably be built. The unfortunate injury of shortstop Don Putnam leaves a gaping hole to be filled in the infield. Promising material, especially needed in the pitching department, seems con¬ spicuous by its absence, marring the otherwise good prospects for a suc¬ cessful year. ’t?

However, George Lyman and Tack Hammer were to be back in the forward line, and although the backfield had lost the services of Captain Walker, it did not lack material, since co¬ captains Tillan and Allen. Dufresne and Shumski re¬ turned to compose the backfield line. With two prom¬ ising Freshmen, Sanderson and Hebei, and two ex¬ perienced Sophomores, Gewinner and Monks, and a number of newcomers to the game, the squad for the season w ' as rounded out. With this array and a two-days ' practice, the Hig- ginbottom-coached aggregation faced the Massachu¬ setts Staters, who boasted two weeks’ drilling. The outcome was a sad one for the Engineers, who had expected a victory, only to find themselves shaded by a score of 2-1 in a listless game. After the roll call at the beginning of the second week, it was found that Hebei was on the injured list, while Dufresne, who was a tower of strength in the backfield, had decided to forsake the game for the remainder of the season. However, the Connecticut Aggies team, which was met the following Saturday at Alumni Field, was routed by a one-sided score of 6 - 2 . New Bedford Textile, the next team to be met, came to Worcester with the usual Whale- towners’ reputation for soccer ability. The game started without the Engineers having the services of Captain Eddie Allen, but Hebei, who was shifted from the forward line to the backfield for this emergency, showed up well in this position. The game was hard fought, requiring two overtime periods, in which New Bedford scored twice to win, 4-2. In the next contest, Tech easily triumphed over Tufts by a score of 2-0, Tech’s whole team worked smoothly, and in this game showed its best form of the entire season. Not forgetting the defeat of the previous year at the hands of the Amherst team. Coach Higginbottom gave his charges a stiff workout all week, hoping to avenge the previous defeats, but the Lord Jeffs again took advantage of the breaks to top the Engineers. Both teams displayed a fine brand of soccer, and the 3-2 score indicates that the game was closely con¬ tested throughout. For the first time in three years the Engineer hooters, in a very handy fashion, defeated their Main South rivals, Clark, on the latter’s home field. The game was marked by very erratic playing on the part of both teams, but the Crimson and Gray outfit showed themselves far superior to their opponents, and besides holding the Scarlet scoreless, managed to account for two goals. The season ended with the Northeastern game. It was closely contested from the start, but the visitors seemed to have the edge on the Tech eleven, and made the best of all oppor¬ tunities. thereby winning the game by a 2-1 score. And so another season is ended, and though Tech came out on the wrong side of the ledger, losing four games out of seven, it was never outplayed by any team. As the season ended, so also ended the soccer careers of Captain Tillan and Duffy Bull. Opposing forwards found it hard to pass by the former and equally difficult to outsmart our goalie. With the exception of Bull and Tillan, the other lettermen will be available for next year. This com¬ ing season the forward berths should be composed from six letter men; Sanderson, Gwen- ner, Lyman, Hammer, Johnson and Monks competing for the positions. The backfield will contain five letter men in Shumski, Allen, Hebei, Ivazian, and Tripoli. The probability is that Hebei, who played centerhalf during the season, will be paired with Eddie Allen in a fullback role. Sargent, a Sophomore, who has been kept out of action because of the fine playing of Bull, will undoubtedly hold down the hot spot between the goal posts. All in all, a good season for Tech is predicted for this coming year. Tillan and Allen Page one hundred forty-one TECH SWIMMING TEAM PERSONNEL John C. Osipowich . Irwin W. Peterson . John C.

This was one of the two meets in which the seniors could swim and they lived up to their reputation of last year. Tech took the lead in the first event and was never headed. Seven out of nine first places showed a well bal¬ anced and strong team. The score of 40 to 37 indicates how closely the victory was contested in the meet against Rensselaer. Not until the final race, the 220-yard relay, was the final outcome determined in favor of Rensselaer. The outstanding man of the meet was Captain Osipowich, who won the 100-yard freestyle and swam anchor¬ man on the winning medley-relay team anci the 200-yard relay. The renovated swimming team was decisively beaten by the Wesleyan mermen by a score of 50 to 26. Tech started off triumphantly by gaining a victory in the medley-relay, but the Wesleyan swimmers took all the re¬ maining first places with the exception of the 150-yard backstroke, which was won by Franklin who fought hard to win over Buckland of Wesleyan. A potent group of Williams College tankmen gained revenge on the W. P. L team for last year’s defeat by drubbing the Engineers, 58-19, in the final home meet for the varsity team. Coach Grant’s natators battled the Purple hard throughout the entire meet, but managed to cop only two first places, Franklin winning the backstroke and Fogg the dives. The Engineers lost to the Bowdoin team at Brunswick by the score of 40 to 29. First places were won by Franklin, Fogg, and McElroy. In the final race, the 220-yard relay, both teams fouled so the event was not counted. Except for the fine work of Henry Franklin, the Tech natators were com¬ pletely outclassed when they stacked up against the Ford Jeffs at Amherst. The decisive score of 58 to 19 shows the depth to which the Engineers sank, the lowest in a very mediocre season. The swimming team staged a comeback in their meet against Springfield. Excellent swimming by Franklin gave Tech wins in the 220- and 440-yard free-style swims. Franklin broke the pool record in the 220-yard swim by completing the distance in 2:32, 3 5ths of a second faster than the old record. With such men as Franklin, Frary, Fogg, Fisher, Borgatti, McElroy and Ratkiewich returning next year and with the wealth of material that is being developed on the Freshman team, the Engineers will be back in the New England Intercollegiates with power to win.

These prospects were realized as Capt. Russ Corsini and Ev Collins started right in with their usual high grade tennis, ably assisted by Bill Werth, Umbert Corsini, and Cary Wilson. On Thursday, April 30, Vermont travelled all the way to Worcester to be completely out-classed by a superior team, Worcester winning easily, 7-0. The highlights of the match were produced in the doubles match between R. Corsini, Ev Collins and E. Tup- per and E. Beer. A rally in the third set gave Tech a clean sweep of the match. The following Saturday, a strong Trinity team gave the Tech team stern opposition and were finally overcome when Werth and U. Corsini won the deciding set in the last doubles play, thus making the score 4-3. Continuing the fine play shown in the first two matches, the Engineers won the third straight at the expense of Providence College, 6-1. R. Corsini just missed out in giving Tech a perfect score when he lost, in a hard-fought three-set match, to the captain of the opponents. The next match on the slate was with Springfield who proved to be a little too strong. Tech losing 5-1, Bill Werth and U. Corsini accounting for the lone score for Tech by winning their doubles match. However, the team’s record was still good, having won three and lost one. On playing Tufts, l ech again boosted its average by winning 5-1. The weather conditions were not good, but a good brand of tennis was displayed by both teams. Here again in all the singles mattches the Tech men were victorious, but dropped one point when Tufts, fine doubles team managed to win in an overtime match. The Engineers won their fifth victory of the season after traveling to Storrs, defeating Conn. Aggies, 6-0. The players showed perfect form, easily winning every set. Although Clark was the sixth victim to fall before the racket wielders of Boynton Hill, the score being 6-0, the match was well-contested all the way. Ev CoBins and Russ Corsini displaying great tennis. The Engineers’ last two matches were away at Middlebury and Dart¬ mouth, but due to bad weather conditions the match with Middlebury was cancelled. In the other match, Dartmouth was just enough stronger per man to finally win out 5-1. In all but one match extra games had to be playe d, so Dartmouth certainly earned the victory through having to display a very superior grade of tennis. Ev Collins saved Tech from a shutout by winning two out of three sets from a very able opponent.

Peterson P€DDL€R 1932 1931 GOLF TEAM ' HE Tech Golf team of 1931 started off aus¬ piciously when Captain Stan Heald’s call for candidates was answe red by such men as Backstrom, McAloon, Stenbeck, Cheatham, Sar¬ gent, Kowalski. Peterson, Anderson. Clark, Wardle, Delys, Rathbun, and Dunn. Cheatham, Stenbeck, and Kowalski showed up remarkably well during their first season on the team. Cheat¬ ham ranks high in the amateur list in Mexico: Stenbeck has shown up well on the links of the Scituate Country Club, and Kowalski has turned in some good cards on the local links. After taking the Holy Cross golfers into camp, the Engineers traveled to Boston to play M. L T., this being the first match that the foursome had played on a strange green, the course being that of the Weston Country Club. Under the leader¬ ship of Captain Stan Heald and with the co¬ operation of his cohorts. Art Anderson, Carl Backstrom, and Tony Kowal¬ ski, they held the Boston team to a tie score of 3-3. The fine playing of Captain Heald and Kowalski supported the hopes of the team from the Hill. Without the slightest doubt, the 1931 team had all the earmarks of the finest ever to represent the Engineers. On May 7, the team traveled to Tufts and on the Unicorn Country Club course captured a second victory by de¬ feating a strong Tufts team to the tune of 7-2. After a hard fought battle of twenty holes, McKillop (T) defeated Kowalski (W) by 1 up. Cheat¬ ham (W), the star of the day, with a score of 83, defeated Grier (T) 4 and 3. McKillop and Grier were then beaten by Kowalski and Cheatham, 3 and 2, while Backstrom (W) fell before Kisiel 3 and 1. The Backstrom- Peterson pair then staged a 3 to 2 victory over Moulton and Kisiel. In the third match. Sten¬ beck (W) defeated StafTon (T), 2 up and An¬ derson (W) defeated Eames (T), 2 up. Then after a 20-hole match, Stenbeck and Anderson defeated Staffon and Eames by 1 up. Next in line came the match with the strong B. U. Team. The results of the matches were very close, but Tech lacked the punch to win. On May 16, the Engineers tasted defeat at the hands of a strong team from Brown. On May 18, the Tech team ended a good sea¬ son by defeating the Lord Jeffrey men by the score of 5-1. In the twosomes, R. Lincoln (A) de¬ feated Cheatham (W) 3 and 1, Captain Heald (W) defeated G. Turner (A) 4 and 3, T. Kowalski (W) defeated H. Cooper (A) 4 and 3, and I. Peterson (W) defeated Port (A) 6 and 5.

Wiley Trtgc one hundred forty-eight PCDDLCR 1932 RIFLE CLUB Captain Manvel PROM the standpoint of the number of matches won, this last season was not a great success. But the team did distinguish itself by beating the Worcester Pistol and Rifle Club team, which, as those acquainted with that organization know, is not easily scored upon. Every year our team visits their range to shoot part of a match and to be royally entertained, and a few weeks later their squad visits us in Alumni Gymnasium to finish the match. But this time the home match resulted in a victory for the W. P. I. Rifle Club team. This match differs from the rest, in that it is the only shoulder-to-shoulder match held during the season. In most cases each team shoots its targets on its own range and the results are com¬ pared by mail. This, together with the absence of student support, makes the average match a very perfunctory and unexciting affair. A shoulder-to-shoulder match, with the targets being scored and compared as soon as they are fired, more near y approaches the conditions of competition in other sports. However, a lack of time and money makes such matches impossible, except in this case, much as they may be desired. The Club has had a prosperous year, with good membership and a well filled treasury. It may be that the relation of the club and team is not well understood by non-members. Anyone can join the club and remain a member having full privileges of the range and equipment, as long as his dues are paid. All members have a chance to prove their skill, usually in the inter-class matches, and from the best of them the tearn of ten men is chosen by the manager. This choice is not final. At any time the manager can drop a man from the team and replace him with another member whose shooting has shown improvement. Of the ten scores in a match, the five best are taken for record, and, to earn a letter, a man must be in the scoring five in fifty per cent of the matches in a season. The manager has charge of the range and equipment, issues ammunition and makes all arrangernents for matches, either directly in individual challenge matches, or with the National Rifle Association in matches supervised by that body. This year seven men received letters. Since Freshmen cannot compete in N. R. A. matches, which comprise about fifty per cent of the total, their chances of winning a letter are small, but this time they have the winning of the interclass match to console them. Their skill indicates a good future for the team.

The Skull has been in existence since 1911, serving not only as a reward to ambitious Tech men by virtue of past services, but also acting as an inspiration to do more and better work for their Alma Mater. It was for this latter purpose that the Skull added a large silver cup to the trophy room six years ago. On this cup is engraved each year the name of the freshman who has done the most for Tech during his first year. This, however, does not guarantee future membership in the Skull, but merely is for the purpose of spurring freshmen on to do more for Tech. The recipient of this honor last year was Gordon Cruickshank.

Sellew Page one hundred eighty P€DI L€R 1932 THE TECH COUNCIL year the Tech Council, the student governing body of the college, was enlarged so as to include besides the regularly elected members from the classes, the presidents of the four engineering societies, president of the Masque, and editors of the Tech News and the PEDDLER. This step appears to have been quite an asset during the past year, as the student body has been more completely represented by the members of these prominent organizations, and a more thorough understanding of the problems that come before the Council has been secured. Each year the Tech Council performs certain functions, the two that are the best known being the sponsoring of the Tech Banquet, and the awarding of athletic charms to major sport lettermen. This year, thanks to President Earle and the Council, the student body was able to attend dances held in Sanford Riley Hall on Saturday nights, these dances being run such that the students were not obliged to meet any financial obliga¬ tions. The success of these dances is an outstanding specimen of the success of the work that this organization carries out. The le ' aders of the Fuller Lecture Assemblies are appointed by the Council. Such school property as the bulletin boards and other things that are given over entirely to the students’ disposal, are regulated and controlled by this organization. To enumerate the other duties that are performed by this governing organization would be beyond the space here available. During the past few years the Tech Council has undertaken to help make the workings of Worcester Tech better known by having one day set aside, usually this being in conjunction with the Interscholastic Track Meet, and this day is called “Tech At Home.’’ On this day the various departments combine with the Council, and put on exhibitions and displays in their laboratories. From the increasing popularity and interest that has been shown in this day, it will undoubtedly give rise to new ideas and displays for the Institute to carry on each year.

In order to accomplish this, it has been necessary to eliminate certain desired features and to economize in others. In this latter respect, we feel that as much as ever before has been included along the lines represented in this book, but by a new and more compact arrangement, it has been possible to conserve, and yet not eliminate any essentials. I ' he new arrangements in the Senior and Athletic sections are entirely different from those which have been used in Peddlers in the past few years. More color has been added to the book by the two color system of art work, and this too, is an entirely new feature that we hope will meet with your approval. In future years, the Staff feels that as fine a book as has been put out in the past, might be accomplished by elimination of certain things which in themselves are the cause of most of the trouble on the part of the Staff, and that is by omitting personal writeups. These, we admit, are parts of the book which will be most interesting in the future, but the lack of co¬ operation on the part of the class in turning out these write-ups at an early date, causes much anxiety for those who are trying to get the book out on time. The Staff also recommends that the book be taken over more directly by the school, as steps taken this year seem to indicate that the officials are intending to do. By this method it would be possible to publish a book that could be purchased by all students through the blanket tax. We sincerely hope that the student body will find that the changes made this year will meet with their approval, and will appreciate the effort that the Staff has exerted in order to make this book possible. To the succeeding PEDDLER Board, we extend our heartiest wishes, and hope that they may profit by our mistakes. To President Earle and Pro¬ fessor Taylor, who have ably co-operated to help make this book a success, and to Mr. Schweiger, who has served in the capacity of faculty advisor, we are deeply grateful. To the undergraduates, and others who have helped to make this book possible, we hope that this book will be a worthy evidence of your support.

Sura Page one hundred eighty-jour P€DDL€R 1932 TECH NEWS NO COLLEGE is a college without some form of a weekly or a daily newspaper. The first paper known to Worcester Tech students was the old “W. P. L,” which existed during the good old ancient days when grandfather was a child. It died a natural death and for quite some time the only paper published was the Journal, which has since then, been transformed into an alumni monthly magazine. The year 1910 saw the institution of the Tech News as a regular college weekly, and during those twenty-two years, it has ably served the school both as an informer and as a reformer. The work of the Tech News Staff this year has been three-fold: the development of an effective staff routine and news policy, the working out of a constructive editorial policy, and the training of men to carry on the work next year. Eirst, in developing an effective staff routine, the effort has been made to co-ordinate the staff so thoroughly that each man has his proper share of the responsibility involved. An office without some work or responsibility has no place in an active organization. With the new policy the page make¬ up and headlining has been made as up-to-date as possible, with a view to presenting the news in an interesting and readable form. Second, in reference to the editorial policy, its object has been for the benefit and furtherance of Tech, and the creation of enlightened interest on the Hill. Destructive criticism has only been employed when its use served the larger constructive policy. The News has not minced words and by this straight¬ forward attitude, the situation, in most cases, has been vastly improved. The third objective, the triaining of new men, has been one of the most important undertakings. The importance of this valuable instruction may not be seen so easily by the casual observer, but it is essential that the valuable tips learned by experience should be handed on to the newcomers. This is done in order to assure the future success of the News and for the benefit and good of the student body, faculty, and alumni.

The Glee Club has been directed by Dean Hanscom, and Mr. Fitzgerald has been acting as manager. Under the able hands of these two, both the Glee Club and orchestra have attained much success. Mr. Fitzgerald has taken the band in hand, and has made a wonderful success of it. The band played at each Assembly held during the year, and for other school activities, and has reached a point where the school can be proud of having such an organization. The Glee Club participated in a number of concerts, these being held under the auspices of various clubs in towns in the vicinity of Worcester. ' Fhe first of these concerts was held in Hopedale, and after the success of this initial engagement, concerts were given in Holden, Westboro, Lunenberg and Worcester. The season was climaxed with the annual Clark-Tech combined musical clubs concert, held in the Jonas Clark Auditorium. The Tech Quartette composed of Frary, Jackson, Greenwood and Backgren, and Tech’s musical saw expert, George Stevens, also added to the entertainment at these concerts. The Boyntonians were unusually active this year, playing after basketball games and Glee Club Concerts, and they were also the official orchestra for the Saturday night dances held in the dorm.

Waddell Everett Weiss Page one hundred eighty-nine P€DDL€R 1932 THE MASQUE ' HE earliest dramatic performance by the students of W. P. I. was the “Tech Minstrels” at old Horticultural Hall on March 25, 1892. It took the form of an old-fashion minstrel show, with black face soloists, chorus and end men. This production was highly successful. The following year. May 12 and 13, a much more ambitious undertaking was staged in the Worcester Theatre. This was a musical comedy, named, “Jack and the Beanstalk.” It was strictly an Institute affair, the music having been written by Ernest Marshall, ’93. These two performances were highly successful. Institute talent then lay dormant for two years. On the evenings of April 26 and 27, 1895, “Shylock, Jr.,” was presented. The plot, with many variations, was borrowed from, “The Merchant of Venice.” Musically and dramatically this production was most successful, but financially it was a failure. From 1895 until 1911 no real dramatic effort was attempted at the Institute, although from time to time glee clubs or instrumental organiza¬ tions gave concerts. On April 29, 1911, “Eldern’s Uncle,” by H. P. King,’11, was produced in the Worcester Theatre. As a play it left much to be desired but it packed the theatre and it was a financial success. This resulted in the founding of the Dramatic Association; later it assumed the name Tech Masque, which it still holds. Under the auspices of this new body, “The Flirt” was given in the Worcester Theatre, May 1, 1912. It was from the pen of Mr. C. A. Grady, at that time an assistant in the President’s office. On April 11, 1913, “Man Proposes,” was produced at the Worcester Theatre. The following year, March 26 and 27, “Lost, a Fortune,” by W. R. Davis, ’16, was given. Mr. Davis was the author of the plays of the following years, “The House that Jack Built,” in 1915 in Tuckerman Hall and “The Cup and the Cop” presented in Tuckerman Hall in 1916. In 1917 the play selected was by Institute talent. It was entitled “Too Many Redheads.” In 1918 and 1919 Institute talent was silent. But in 1920, the Masque sponsored a play “Officer 666. ’ Since that year a play of professional authorship and of actual success has been presented annually. The list of plays produced since 1920 is: “Nothing But the Truth,” “Three Wise Fools,” “A Pairs of Sixes,” “Here Comes the Bride,” “The Dictator,” “The Four Flusher,” “Give and Take,” “The Bad Man,” “Skinner’s Dress Suit,” and “The Mystery Man.” This year the Masque is sponsoring something new and something dif¬ ferent, namely, “The Spring Revue.” This consists of short skits, musical numbers and comedy. Mr. Jack Heald will again coach the production. Page one hundred ninety P€DDL€R 1932 THE MASQUE SWEN G. PULSON. Lenges H. Bull . Howard R. Finn . Richard F. Porter . . . Alfred G. Parker . . .

The first duty of the Y is to see that the freshmen become acquainted with the opportunities offered them. The work this year followed along the lines established by precedent. At the beginning of Freshmen Week the Y held the Freshmen Reception and, if the amount of cider, doughnuts, and cheese consumed is any indication of the success of the affair, the freshmen were well received. Preceding the formal reception, the members of the Y Cabinet aided in organizing the class of ’35. Part time work was found for many and the usual sale of second¬ hand books was sponsored by the Y. The Carnival, under the direction of Zucky Ostlund, was a huge success. The Sophomore act won the com¬ petition against the Freshmen, though both were very good. The Faculty act, under the direction of Dr. Atwood, was very well received and will be looked forward to again next year. Another function of the Y. M. C. A., is the upkeep of the pool room and reading room in the dormitory and to supply the commons room with a complete supply of current magazines. Again this year the fraternities on the Hill gave their support to discussion groups held for the purpose of providing instructive and properly directed channels of thought and discussion of the problems of the day. The at¬ tendance at these discussions and the nature of the topics discussed, signified their increasing popularity and effectiveness. Again this year the Y provided for a student assembly. This assembly came in May and was very well received by the student body. The most constructive function of the Y is the maintenance of the daily Chapel period in Sinclair Hall. This year a wide range of interesting speakers drew a large attendance each day. Page one hundred ninety-two P€DDL€R 1932 Anderson Allen Siuan Ostlund Barks Manvel Jackson Jones Y. M. C. A. Wright H.

Then, as now, its purpose was to assist its members to be true to their religion and to further high ideals. In 1917 the Newman Club was accepted by the Federation of College Catholic Clubs, a member¬ ship which it now enjoys. The Newman Club at Tech has made rapid strides since its organization, until it is now one of the most popular clubs on the Hill.

This organization furnishes considerable litera¬ ture of engineering interest to its members, and through its connection with the A. S. C.

In addition to the above men¬ tioned, many noted engineers are invited to speak at the meetings, and this gives the student an opportunity to become acquainted with some of the men with whom he will come in contact in later life.

The acquaintance, the contact between men, the interchange of ideas, the presentation, discussion, the publication of papers, the formulation of stan¬ dards and codes, the advance of ideals, the cultivation of the spirit of co¬ operation, and the inspiration which gives vision and incentive for new effort—all are found in the A. L E. E. The college branches, such as the Tech Branch bring such opportunities to the student. Monthly meetings are held, at which prominent speakers or students give short talks. Usually a joint meeting is held with the Worcester Branch of the A. I. E. E., and the papers, as we ll as the entire program for the meeting is arranged and presented by the Student Branch.

During numerous occasions the Tech Branch has affiliated with the Worcester Branch of this society to obtain noted engineers and speakers to speak before their meetings. The monthly meetings, have kept the interest of the members of the department on a high plane, and much has been accomplished by way of giving the men an insight into both the generalities and details of their chosen profession. Page two hundred three P€DDL€R 1932 SKEPTICAL CHYMISTS Frederick Bickford . President Lieghton Jackson . Vice-President Allan G. Ashton . Secretary ' HIS year marks the fifteenth successful year for this society. When the society was first organized its primary purpose was to acquaint the students of Chemistry with current phases of their subject, and to urge a reading of current literature. The society chose for its patron saint, Robert Boyle of the seventeenth century, the man, around whom chemistry as a science revolves, and to whom is granted the starting of philosophical rea¬ soning and the discouragement of alchemical and medical ideas in regard to the subject of chemistry. This society, which is affiliated with the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society, counts among its members those students elect¬ ing the Chemistry Course, who have attended two-thirds of the meetings during a college year, and who have read a paper or lectured before the local body. This plan has been handed down from the founders of the local section. After each address the subject is open to discussion, in which instructors as well as students, take an acti ve part. During the past year the society has limited itself in selecting speakers to address its meetings, the undergraduate members having, in the main, under¬ taken this task. This procedure has been found to possess a double value, inasmuch as it gives the audience a chance to become acquainted with various subjects as well as to develop poise and self-confidence in the members who address the assembly.

On that clear day the Freshmen wended their way to the scene of the festivities with the long implement of battle on their shoulders. Crowds gathered, the teams lined up, and all was in readiness for the annual Freshmen-Sophomore Rope Pull. On the island the starter was waiting for the signal that the teams were ready to start and then the gun sounded. Both teams took on a canine-like activity as they “dug in’’ to make footholes. The time of thirty seconds allowed for this duty was soon over and the gun sounded again—it was the signal for the action to start. The frosh coxswains yelled their “catch-catch-heaves,’’ and their team responded, but the experienced Sophomores were already in action, the slack of the rope was taken in and most of it was gathered by the second year team. For the next half hour Captain Ratkiewich, the anchor man for the Sophomores, was kept busy taking in rope and then letting a little of it go. Many times as the teams pulled, the Freshmen tried off heaves, but these did not gain back the rope lost in the first few moments of the fray. As the teams began to tire, substitutes were rushed in to fill the places of the weak men. In vain the ’35 men strove to recover and the final gun sounded with the Sophomores victorious, and the first class in seven years to escape a Saturday bath. Captain Dick Breaker led his team down the bank into the caressing waters of the Pond. When the midpoint was reached the tired losers summoned enough wind to give the victors a resounding cheer to the applause of the spectators on the bank. This was a signal for a return of the salute. The excitement of the affair was all over and the on¬ lookers wended their way homeward or to the football game. The Freshmen changed into dry clothes and then returned to the scene of defeat to carry the rope to its official resting place to await the next rope pull. Page two hundred seven P€DDLeR 1932 PADDLE RUSH ' HE traditional Freshman-Sophomore Paddle Rush has again returned to the Hill, after a lapse of a year, this time in a different form. But how different! In the good old days the green ones were led to slaughter when, where, and how it pleased the seasoned Sophs. This was very hard on some anatomies—so a manly game of push-ball was substituted. Disgust! However the situation was saved when some unknown genius produced the modern adaptation of this ancient sport of students, to overcome the objec¬ tions to the old methods which were based on the assertion of extreme brutality and unfairness to the ignorant. The revival meeting was performed on Alumni Field for the enjoyment of those who were present at the first game on the football schedule played October third. The upper classmen, between the halves of the game placed one hundred paddles on the center line of the field, and lined up eighty-five Frosh on the north goal marker. In spite of an S. O. S., the number could not be increased, a fact which was probably due to discretion getting the better part of valor. The confident dispensers of Justice entered the lists MUth a band of only seventy-five determined warriors, all clothed for action, who took their places on the south goal line. To Doc Carpenter went the honor of starting hostilities. With his trusty revolver, he fired a shot. Immediately the two opposing forces swept down the field to grab the implements of warfare. In less time than it takes to tell, the real scrap started. In fact the lowly representatives of ’35 advanced eagerly but the rest of the story is sad. The Charge of the Fight Brigade would better describe the clash. The Sophs had it down to a system and with a longer playing time the slight victory might have been a complete rout. To hear the Freshman descriptions of that day last fall would make it seem, as though the odds were two to one in favor of their tormenters or even worse. Time waits for no man and the ten minutes of fun (?) soon passed. Another shot sounded for the termination of action. The paddles were collected and counted by the Seniors who announced the outcome of the festivities. The Freshmen badly mangled, had forty-five trophies and the Sophomores, happy and satisfied, had forty-six torture sticks. The remain¬ ing nine implements of chastisement were disqualified. Thus ended the first disciplinary lesson for the future Engineers.

But there is one thing not quite plain to me, And that is how it can possibly be That one minute his hair is wavy and free. And the next minute it ' s as straight as it can be. Is it possible that- finger wavers work nights. Well maybe, but most of ’em need lights. As I look down the next classroom row. To try and find someone I know. My thoughts are disturbed by the entrance of two Who are they?—Well it’s nothing new To know that they are the Gold Dust Twins; They’re never on the outs, and never on the ins: What I mean, is classes never bother them. If they get to classes early and bright. Then the prof is apt to die of fright. And remark, “It must have been a bad night.’’ What they need around here, both of them say. Is more classes in E. E., every day. Because we’re getting all tired out. From not enough sleep, in wandering about. But there’s one thing that’s funny to me. And that is how it can possibly be That both of them are way up in classes And make the rest of us look like asses. Who are they, did I hear you say? Come before noon on any day. And see Magee and Driscoll at play. Andy—you’ve all heard about him. The big dark man that is so slim. He’s hard working and bright by heck. But somehow Dynamics got him in ihc neck. He’s well liked by every one I’m sure. Especially by a little girl who’s out west on tour. Still there’s one thing it can possibly be. That while on a trip with the gang. He can always be looking for a new twang. Goldey Goldrosen is one of our pals. He’s wise—he keeps away from the gals(?). He hails from the South so I hear— You know. South Worcester in the rear. We never knew his nationality before. But one day his race came to the fore— It happened at Chaffins during a game That Goldy saw his chance as it came. He caught Carl Backstrom unawares. And made a contract for half of his fares. It seems that Backstrom won quite a lot. Now Goldy is claiming half the pot. Still there’s one thing I cannot see. And that is how it can possibly be. That Goldy is interested in the eternal cent When he seems to be of Swedish descent. Then there is our quiet Paul, He’s one original papa, and that’s not all. He’s our hardest of hard workers, it’s true. And it’s a well known fact and nothing new, That he works at night as well as at day So that he can get enough of his pay To support a wife and kids. And yet go to college without any skids. Still there’s one thing I cannot see. And that is how it can possibly be. That such a quiet fellow as he. Should be the first married in our class—by gee. Then of course there’s Pittsburg Joe Burnett, who loves his E.E. so. Oh yes, I almost forgot to say. He is gifted—he can play. Or at least that’s what he calls it; But with most people its no hit. One day 1 heard him from afar. As he played on his old guitar. And believe it or not, I was too near; Will God help those who have to hear As he practices before dinner each day. Well, someday he may be able to play. Still there’s one thing that 1 cannot see. And that is how it can possibly be. That a man with as much talent as he Could ever get such low marks with Dutchy. The next in the row is Screwful old boy. To sec him and hear him is pure joy, 1 mean as a rule it is so to do But there was one day of which I knew. When he was not such a sight. As he fought like a tiger with all his might. To ward off three pants-seeking men Who suddenly had an awful yen To throw his pants out of the window afar. Well I do not know just who they are. But somehow I do not think that they’ll try again To try to satisfy their funny yen. Still there’s one thing that I cannot see. That’s how that it can possibly be. That Leo can get so confounded hot In the time that it takes to make a dot.

And now, ii I were a farmer, I could lift myself by my boot straps.” Signed, Bill Asp! My, my, what a man! The youth of America, the cream of the crop (but God help the skimmed milk) . It’s lucky for Bill that Tech isn’t co-ed. Gracious me! He’s so strong, so kind, so sweet and athletic—oh dear! Why, he wouldn’t have a ghost of a chance of ever being successful in his ‘‘chosen profession” if the fair-headed, lily white denizens of the co-educa- tional system were to throw themselves in mute admiration at our hero’s feet! No sir, he’d never stand a solitary chance! Two conditions prevent Bill from filling the shoes of a policeman: first, he isn’t a son of the Irish Free State, and hence does not possess the inherent qualities of a policeman; secondly, his shoes are size 8—two sizes under the minimum allowable for policemen. But on the other hand (.O, he is so kind-hearted, and thoughtful. Why we just know that a greater part of his energy would be spent in assisting timid young things across dangerous street intersections. How perfectly thrilling—just atrocious! And don’t forget William’s eyes—powerful, piercing eyes with a glint of blued steel—but so honest and sincere—I’m sure he could be entrusted with anything. And so, readers, we have at last found a man, a real man, if you please, a future Lind¬ bergh, Lincoln, or what have you. Be sure to see him when he features on your local screen, cold as he is. Bye, bye, FINN, be good and we’ll see you in church. Be sure to use “Flit” wherever necessary. Signed, By “Heck.” REMINISCENCES FROM THE LONG INSPECTION TRIP Who is there among the Electrics that can forget the trips taken last summer Those good old five minute quizzes by Maxie and Rip. The time Fred Whitford flipped a coin for the yes and no quiz to get the answers! Who could forget Ridley and his Ford (?) arriving at Vernon after going backwards up all the hills? And then there was our good friend Orfanos who could ask more questions about nothing than the whole class could put to¬ gether. First the question, then the operator’s answer, and then Connie’s “Yes, yes, of course” reply. We sure got tired of that quick, but our little friend seemed to be unsquelchable. Then the arrival at Childs Tavern at Wilmington, Vermont. How Somerville and Signor grabbed the seats at the instructors’ dining table. No wonder Somie gets such good marks. Remember the job that Asp and Jack tried to do on Athansiades, but he locked the door and got in the bath tub and eventually the boys cooled off? And then there was breakfast. Lucky we had to leave at 8:30 or Asp still would have been eating. He sure got his money’s worth. Who can forget the sight of the girls’ faces when the whole class walked in at the town dance at Lenox! Some break for the Lenox damsels that night! And among other things, it is said that Asp still owes Maxie a plate of ice cream, while Goldrosen owes Backstrom sixty cents. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Asp: Wine, women and smoke are my failings. Jerry: Rip, Spider and Robinson are mine. With two Greeks in our class, how surprising to learn that not a single fruit stand or restaurant has been established in our design room. The world certainly has changed!

To our dear professor, ’fore answering ‘ Here Sir,” On a summer morn. In charge of a prison camp, when over there. It was his sad duty, to have charge d’affaires. He saw that no man on his musket did lay. And patrolled the dear camp all the night and the day. It was also his duty at the break of the dawn. To arise at the call of the cowbells and horns. With his stool and his bucket, away he would stray. To search for a cow with her master away. With full bucket in hand, back to camp he would go. And with feet in the air would drink milk and munch dough. No beer would he drink, on account of the taste. Though I would account it a pitiful waste. More terrible adventures had he over there. But for me to recount them, would not be quite fair. So we’ll leave him to tell you, if to ask him you dare. Of the beautiful blondes, and other affairs. That was his good fortune to have over there.

Mr. Repenta won the beauty contest by a wide margin, even though at first it seemed that Mr. Bike (Jolly Jack) Portways would, to use the vernacular, cop the prize. However of the 600 votes cast Stonie received 876 to Mr. Portways’ 111. Mr. Repenta won by a nose and an eye tooth.

Oil. Carl Meyer, when in¬ terviewed upon the subject, claimed that he had heard of it being spread on the tennis courts, but that it did not remain there permanently, nor did it lay the dust while there. Any satisfactory solution to this problem will be happily received, and if results are permanent, a liberal reward will be paid. Three Senior Civils, Bull, Leach, and Crimmins have been doing their best to design a concrete tank to hold the tremendous flow at the source, but Thunder Corfitzen thinks that failure will be caused by erosion of the head. He has been studiously delving into its secrets with the help of many pic¬ tures, but he is far from a correct solution. There have been times when the tremendous flow has escaped from the confines of the Junior’s domain and has flowed into the Senior De¬ sign Room, much to the amuse¬ ment of the Senior members. The Seniors hope that someone will de¬ sign some way to store up this oil for posterity.

These men are working away quietly for your benefit. These are the civil engineers working on theses, practical ones too, ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Ayjay who is showing me around the spacious laboratories of Worcester Tech Col¬ lege is a fine upstanding gentleman, well over 6 ft. tall, and with a bearing that belies his 8 7 years. Mr. Ayjay is taking me over to a bench where a fine looking Sicili- ano is idly thumbing a slide rule. This is Mr. Lapenta, the noted sus¬ pension bridge engineer. Mr. Ay¬ jay has told me at great length of the accomplishments of this bril¬ liant young man. It seems that he has done more consulting with Prof. Wrench than any other of the Civils here. By the way folks. Prof, Wrench uses the Culbertson System, the forcing System. Mr. Ayjay explained that Prof. Wrench forces 75% of the Civils out of school, hence the name. Mr. Lapenta is working on the design of a bridge which was built years ago, and for your benefit and mine too folks, he is going to find out whether or not it is safe. Enough of that! Two men from the group are working on a hydraulic experiment out at Chaffins, the place made fam¬ ous by the professors’ card games.

W, Wrench New Sport Gaining In Popularity At Tech. After an exhaustive study of all sports engaged in by the students at W. P. I., in an attempt to find some muscle-building, health re¬ storing. and exhilarating exercise, the engineers have at last found the answer. Ping Pong. Since the game has been introduced, it has spread through the school like wild¬ fire. No longer shall we be unable to develop mind and matter to the utmost. Invitations to a tournament have been accepted and teams have been entered from such local centers as Tel-A-Vive, Palestine, England. Sweden, Italy, Springfield, and other foreign countries. Page two hundred thirteen P€DI L€R 1932 OH YEAH! night I had a dream and it was so interesting that I must tell it to you. I dreamt that fate played a hoax on me, and I became President of the Institute. Now what would you do if you were suddenly placed in this position? Exactly what I did, I imagine. , W. P. I. became co-educational, why I don’t know, but Tech became co-ed. It was a treat to sec the embryo en¬ gineers asscending Boynton Hill, hurrying to an eleven o’clock with a sweet young lady on his arm (I had abolished all eight, nine, and ten o’clock classes). Did I say hurrying, I am sorry, from the beginning of my adminis¬ tration, nobody hurried. B.A. had been deprived of his power of issuing duck-eggs, so what was there to hurry about? It w ' as Saturday morning and as they rode up the escalator, they were talking over their plans for the Carnegie-Tech game that was to be played in the new stadium at Alumni Field. Carnegie was unbeaten thus far, and likewise W. P. I., and the victor that afternoon was to be the eastern candidate to the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena. If the boys from the Hill were victorious, I had con¬ vinced Dutchy and the rest of the old boys to forget about classes, so that the entire student body could follow the team. For the benefit of the Alumni who know about our achievements, I must list here some of my outstanding results. I had not departed too radically from the established customs. We still had no five-year men, and we had not demanded that recitation classes be prepared for quizzing. This would have been too much to ask of the young fellows and girls who were so busy with their intra-fra-sority ping-pong and pushball contests, to permit studies to interfere with their college career, but there was one thing that I could not tolerate, and that was to allow the students to get away with attending these ear-bending lectures we had, and being allowed to sit in the cushioned chairs of our lecture rooms. It is here that students must apply themselves. Don’t think that I had only the students welfare in mind when I started my regime. There was something lacking, but after considerable investiga¬ tion I found the difficulty could be easily remedied. Why should professors and instructors labor through the college year with no consideration what¬ soever? No reason at all—so with their welfare at heart, I extended all Christmas and Easter vacations to a period of one week. The students may have objected a little strenuously at first, but in spite of all the classes they sshould have attended, they finally learned that all work and no play make dull professors, they say. This point was followed up and now we have faculty athletic teams which play the class teams each month, in place of those good old monthly prelims. At this point my dilemna came to an end for my room-mate tossed me out of bed with a jerk, and after much hurrying I made one of B. A.’s famous eight o’clocks. Page two hundred fourteen PeDDL€R 1932 HOW TO RUSH FRESHMEN I ECURE first a list of all names of the entering class from Miss Rugg (bribe of a box of chocolates might work). Have secretary write all Brothers during summer to look up those living nearest (not over 100 miles away) to them. They should by all means fail to answer the letters which the secretary will not write. As soon as school opens and the Y. M. C. A. secures the cider and dough¬ nuts, have the Brothers assigned to look over the green ones. Strictest at¬ tention should be paid to those who stand on corners. Note what cigars, cigarettes, and chewing gum they indulge in. During the “hands off” period the Sophomores in the House should be detailed to attend all Freshman-Sophomore “get-togethers” armed with paddles and paddle each and every Freshman lustily to properly fit them for initiation. If it is not possible to do this in a wholesale manner, individual meetings should be arranged with at least three of the Sophomores to work on a single Freshman. With proper methods the new students should be in fighting trim by Rush week. Early on the first day of rushing, all Brothers should arise at four o’clock, or better still, they should stay up all night. Of course a training program for them should be arranged previously so that they can remain awake for the entire rush week. A good schedule should include nightly trips to any night club in the city, with the return about four o’clock. The alibis learned during this period will enable the Brothers to present a different excuse for each’class during the week. Having reached the morning of the first rush day, all Brothers will be prepared for the hectic struggle. At four o’clock each Brother should shine his shoes, press his suit, and in general dress up like a circus horse. At 6:30 the entire group should start for the Dormitory in automobiles. Lincolns, Packards and Cadillacs could be hired for the occasion but anything on four wheels will do. The object of this early start is to get first choice of dates, but should some other Fraternity men reach the Dormitory earlier, it would be advisable to have loaded dice, stacked cards, or a coin with heads on both sides, to make first choice more certain. At seven o’clock break in the door of the Freshman’s room and overwhelm him with greetings, dress him, shave him, was h him, and rush him to the House for breakfast. As soon as he is inside help him off with his coat, load him with his favorite cigarettes or candy. Introduce him to as many as possible of the Brothers, making sure that each one squeezes his hand and pumps his arm. Never allow him to move without help. It would be disastrous if he should have to light a cigarette himself. Following a week of this, topped off with a good sales talk each night, the subject should not know where he is and at the opportune moment a solemn promise to pledge at the House should be exacted. Immediately after this is secured utilize it to persuade others. And on Friday following rush week the results may be tabulated. Page two hundred fifteen PCDDLeR 1932 A FRESHMAN ' S POINT OF VIEW ON RUSHING y BOUT seven o’clock my door was almost reduced to slivers by a mob of crazy Fraternity men. They got me out of bed, and before I woke up, handed me a card with a lot of Greek letters on it. One fellow dressed me and rushed me into a car with several classmates, and asked every five minutes if I was all right. As soon as the Frat house was reached, we were rushed in¬ side and our coats taken off, cigarettes stuck in our mouths, and lit. Soon more men came in, and each one mentioned his name and pumped our arms, almost breaking them, and at the same time squashing our hands. Then we ate! No one could wait on us enough. More questions about how we felt, did we have enough, and what did we think of the place? Then we were motored to class—what a relief!!! As soon as classes were over another group grabbed me and I was rushed somewhere else. More hand equeezing and arm pumping. More cigarettes! More food! More questions! I had the afternoon free and I found out that I had been to Nu Tau Sigma that morning and this was Iota Beta Sigma. Instead of being able to study this afternoon, I was taken out to see the country, not returning till five o’clock, when a different crowd grabbed me. The same thing all over again. I had not as yet had a chance to take my own coat off, or stand up or sit down. My head was all in a whirl. Nothing was too good for me! That night I had a ride to Boston, and we took in a show afterwards. I got to bed about three o’clock, and at seven the next morning it started all over again. This lasted a week and by that time I had been talked to so much about each place that I knew only two things. First, that each house was the best on the campus, and had more athletes and activities than all the other houses on the Hill combined. Second, that they would die if I did not join them, and that they would weep if I joined any other Fraternity. My father and Uncle were called by phone and each called me and told me what to do. Now, I did not even know as much as before. Thursday night a week later—It’s all over, thank goodness. I can dress myself and light my own butts. Better still— I can sleep tonight. Friday—Professor Coombs gave us a lecture and then we signed pledge cards. I didn’t know what to do but I decided to join Nu Tau Sigma. As soon as this was over, I went to dinner. In the afternoon, about three o’clock I returned to the dorm and a crowd of NT5 men descended on me. I was rushed to my room, dressed in my best, and then rushed to the house and formally pledged with about twelve others. Gee, what a great feeling! An announcement that we should all come down at seven o’clock was made, and we went back to the Dorm to study. Tuesday night—the meeting was held and we started to learn what it was all about. Also that we were required to be around Saturady afternoon to work. I knew there was a hitch somewhere. This was it!
