..-I. THE PEDDLER 193 VOLUME VIII 1 Compiled by HOMER R. MORRISON Editor-in-Chief ROLAND L. NIMS Business Manager FOREWORD In presenting this volume to the students and the College, we offer no apologies. JVe have done our work conscientiously and are confident of your approval. JVe ask you to remember that our success has rested upon your cooperation. The crudest intellect, the clumsiest hand is most capable of tearing down what patience and skill have wrought. Make your criticisms just; temper your remarks in the light of an understanding of our tasks.

H. Smith W. M. Stanton The CAMPUS A FAMILIAR VIEW FROM BOYNTON Cherished among our memories forever will be this familiar view from Boynton Hall. Hours of pleasure arc represented by the tennis courts, gymnasium, and athletic fields; to say nothing of the Freshman-Sophomore activities connected with Bancroft Tower, visible in the distance. THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING The E. E. Building is another reminder of pleasant—and toil-filled—undergraduate hours spent in pursuing the illusive volts and amperes over a veritable maze of connecting equip¬ ment. Also there are the hours among the intricacies of cal¬ culus, and the never-to-be-forgotten, worry-laden finals to make us look back with regret upon leaving. ook PEDDLER Nineteen Thirty-Five Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award—these are the true aims and duties of teaching. FACULTY THE PRESIDENT’S RESIDENCE Everyone is familiar with this home through President and Mrs. Earle’s pleasure-filled receptions. The presence of Wor¬ cester’s sub-debutantes and debutantes always added a charm. We smile at the recollection of the difficult task which always confronted them at the Ereshman receptions. That Quaker meeting style of the shy beginners had to be relieved. Ten Years Our President Ten years ago a valued man in the United States Navy retired and became, if possible, a more valued personage at this Institution. In this tenth anniversary year it seems most fitting to reprint the picture of Ralph Earle receiving the charter of Worcester Polytechnic Institute upon his inauguration as its President. Page seventeen THE P E D L E R RALPH EARLE. PRESIDENT D.Sc., D.Eng., LL.D., Rear Admiral, U. S. Navy (Retired) United States Naval Academy, 1896; D.Sc., (Hon.) Worces¬ ter Polytechnic Institute, 1 925; D.Eng., (Hon.) Rensselaer, 1 926; LL.D., (Hon.) Amherst, 1929; LL.D., (Hon.) Clark, 1930. Instructor in Electrical Engineering, U. S. N. A., 1910-11; Head of Department of Ordnance and Gunnery, 1915-16; Rear Admiral and Chief of Ordnance, 1917-20; President of Wor¬ cester Polytechnic Institute, 1925-. We are incapable of expressing fitting tribute with words, but each man knows the esteem with which President Earle is universally regarded. The conqueror is regarded with awe; the wise man commands our respect; the benevolent man wins our affection; but it is only a truly great man who gains all three. To President Ralph Earle we uni¬ versally and deservedly give unstintingly of our high¬ est praise, respect, and affection. Page eighteen THE P E D .

CLASSES CAMPUS DRIVE A hint of the exquisite beauty of our campus is given in this view. The severe architecture of some of the build¬ ings is softened by the foliage in which they are framed; while ivy-clad walls add a remarkable charm and savor of tradition to the scene. CLASS OF 1935 —HISTORY C LASS OF 1935! Those were the words wi th which President Earle greeted us on that last Monday in September, 1931, when we eagerly assembled for the first time. Following that address of welcome a hectic day was spent meeting advisors, registering, and being outfitted for the struggle ahead. Between that confusing first day and the opening of college, time passed swiftly with get-togethers, lectures, and other events taking place for our benefit. Our first step toward organizing as a class was the appoint¬ ment of Allan F. Hardy as temporary class chairman. We had our first opportunity to become acquainted with the upperclass¬ men at the Y” reception held in the gym several days after our arrival. Our first defiance of the sophomores took place that night when a flag bearing our numerals was hoisted to the top of the pole on alumni field. But the victory was short-lived for the flag was spirited away before the night was over. Our next clash was an organized one and took place between the halves of the Coast Guard football game. This was the newly inaugurated paddle rush. Bearing in mind the method of counting and the margin of one paddle, are we not justified in claiming victory? About this time one of our number, Raymond Moeller, became famous upon being judged the winner of the coveted Yankee Ingenuity Scholarship. His contribution was a Napoleonic coach constructed after fifteen hundred hours of painstaking labor. iliiiivvii iiiiiifiiiiijifiiiiiiiiiifitii ItlUlftltl JlHiiBiiinfHtliHlUinHf! nmnii 1 935 AS FRESHMEN Page forty-seven THE PEDDLER The class of ’34 was the winner of the track meet, but several men of varsity caliber were unearthed. ’34 met with more opposition in the rope pull on October 24, but again we were the losers and were forced to take the long, cold path through Institute pond. Our first victory over the traditional oppressors was achieved in the inter¬ class soccer match after eight overtime periods. On the other field our foot¬ ball stalwarts were losing their match by a score of 12-9. At the annual Tech Carnival on December 11, we presented a skit under the direction of Howard Smart to be judged in competition with one given by ’34. Though the lads of ’35 did a good job of it, ’34 outdid itself and deservedly won the award and our plaudits. Our first real skirmish with the faculty was held at mid-years, and, as usual, the faculty came out in first place. But there were men on the first honor list, showing we had some fight in us after all. Class rivalry was renewed, this time in the tank and on the basketball court. The victory in swimming was ours easily, but ’34 took the basketball trophy. The annual Tech banquet was held in the Dorm on March 30. Follow¬ ing a steak dinner and the usual speakers, we combined with the class of ’33 to present a skit in the form of a debate “Resolved: that Tech should become Co-ed’’. Bill McKay’s imitation of Coombsie will long be remem¬ bered. The lower class rivalry which had been dormant for several months sud¬ denly broke out with renewed vigor one day when a sophomore sauntered past the dorm in a pair of bright red corduroys. A short while later they CLASS OFFICERS FIRST YEAR Swan, Secretary: Dann, Vice-Preside nt; Burns, Treasurer; Holt, President. Page forty-eight THIRTY FIVE reposed safely in the arms of Minerva atop the Dorm. On the next day came a wholesale attack upon the sophomores while they posed for their picture, during which we pelted them with all manner of ancient and decrepit organic matter. For a while a battle royal raged both inside and outside the Dorm. Fire hoses burst adding to the general confusion and damage. For several days minor riots took place and then things gradually returned to normal. Upon returning for our second year we found that we were no longer against stiff competition in the lower class rivalry. We started in right by overwhelming the frosh in the paddle rush by a margin of 25 healthy paddles. When the yearlings raised a flag, several of our marksmen made short work of lowering it. A five minute overtime period was needed to decide the rope pull but we managed to escape the disgrace of being a wet class. In athletic competition we defeated the first year men in track, soccer, and swimming. We also won the rifle match and the class skit. The foot¬ ball game ended in a scoreless tie and the basketball contest showed a final score of 17-13 in the favor of the frosh. On May 26 we held the soph hop at Sanford Riley Hall. The committee in charge was made up of Dick Falvey, Charlie Smith, Tom McNulty, Gordon Swift, and Orin Lee. A few days after the hop final examinations brought the second year to a close. 1 935 ' S FROSH TANK TEAM Shabeck, Mgr., Sleeper, Falvey, Grant, Coach. Makela.

Men from our ranks were raised to the positions of trust and honor that were left vacant by their predecessors. From this time onward to the close the history of the class became more and more the history of individual triumphs. But as a class we conducted the Half-Way-Through Banquet on one cold evening. That night in Clinton will be remembered forever. The highlight of our social careers at Tech, the Junior Prom, was held at the Bancroft Hotel on May 1 1 with Henri Guedon and his orchestra providing the music. The presentation of the Masque, the Round-Robins at the fraternity houses, and the track meets provided a week end of enter¬ tainment to be cherished among our fondest memories. In that week of September 28, 1931, a new class was born. There were the first faint squawks over the constitution; the more lusty ones which told the sophomores that they had something to oppose them. We grew through our carefree childhood; assailed by the customary childish aches and pains— fits of bawling—childish pranks—through the adolescent stage of our soph¬ omore and junior years we continued on our lively way to the maturity of seniors. The aches and pains passed and we became more closely united. But the analogy is not perfect. We grew smaller, more compact, with the years. Friendships were formed, memories born; friendships and memories which will live till the Class of ' 35 exists only in the records. We pause for just a moment to pay silent tribute to two departed classmates, Louis Virgil Olson and Kenneth Lawrence Moran. And now as we pass from the protection of our Alma Mater, we look back lovingly for a moment and then press forth, head high, shoulders thrown back, proud in the knowledge that we are honored sons of Worcester Tech.

With his ever-unruly hair, Marcus Abelson has been for four years at the head of his class, alpha¬ betically, and he is one of the original six who were sent to Tech from Worcester Commerce and were together throughout their school years. With his pleasing personality, inimitable humor and ability of mimicry, “Mark” is an ever-welcome lad where groups of undergraduates may happen to convene.

To listen, however, to the glories of Niagara Falls related by her noble son would take too long. “Abby” made many friends during his four years of hard work in the “Dorm” and is well known to the classes. One look at his high scholastic rec¬ ord and his activities on the Hill will convince you that he has what it takes to get along. To his intimate friends “Abby” is known as the “Deacon”.

E., (2, 3, 4) : Secretary, (4). When “Angy” came to Tech he brought with him a resolution to make the most of his opportuni¬ ties but still have a good time. His ambitions have surely been realized, for his diligent efforts in studies and his interest in outside activities have been keen, while his ready wit and good nature have won him many friends. With these qualities, that certain young lady for inspiration, and the “berry-crate” to take up his spare time, Angy’s future seems very bright.

George is a football player and would have gained on the gridiron but for a brittle pair of legs. Never¬ theless he gave all he had for the class in that sport. Realizing where his power lay, he abandoned foot¬ ball as a participant and devoted his energy to chem¬ istry. The results have proved him wise, for he has breezed through his four years with nary a set¬ back. Your persistence combined with your ability should carry you far, George.

Glee Club (1); Band, (1) ; Class Historian, (2) ; Track, (2, 3, 4) W; Relay Team (3) ; Cheerleader, (3, 4) ; Football, (3) ; Junior Marshall. “Stan” came to us from the class of ’34. After several years of struggling, he has arrived at last, finishing well up in the field. His sparkling per¬ sonality and wealth of pep have been much in evi¬ dence at affairs such as basketball games, where he held forth as Cheer Leader. His terpsichorean tal¬ ents and other qualities have won the heart of many a fair lady. We are certain that Stan is assured of success in his chosen profession.

We were glad to see Hal back after spending a year helping out the government. It seems they needed someone to show them how to hold the rod. Just the same we think Hal is a great fellow and even though he is not very socially inclined, in a bunch of fellows, he is the one that keeps the fun going. Good luck. Ding Dong.

As a swimmer he excels, and many a time has he bathed in the cool April waters of Coes pond rather than be subjected to some quanti¬ tative analysis. His subtle humor and ever-ready supply of puns get him out of many a jam. Witty through and through, that’s “Bergy.” JOHN BLAIS J.B. Chemist Marlboro. Mass. Prep.—Marlboro High School.

Good luck, John, and may you al¬ ways have position. WALTER ALFRED BLAU, JR. Wally eTl Electric Middletown. Conn. Prep.—Middletown High School. Aero Club, (3, 4) ; Fenc¬ ing Club; Paddle Rush, {1, 2); Boat Club. ( 1, 2, 3) : A. I. E. E., (2. 3, 4). “Wally”, though quiet and unobtrusive, has a cheery smile and greeting for everyone, which has made him well liked by his classmates. He followed the Electrical course to enable him to take over the Blau Electrical Shop in Middletown. This shop may have been the reason for Wally’s numerous week-end trips to Middletown but there is a per¬ sistent rumor that it was a member of the opposite sex who was the main attraction. We wish him the best of luck in all his undertakings. Page fifty-three THE PEDDLER V, CARL GUNNAR BRINK Civil Worcester, Mass. Prep.—North High School. Class Football, (1, 2) ; A. L C. E. Carl, originally ’34, went the way of so many Civils and became ’3 5. But anyone like Carl has what it takes to get along—ask anyone in the drafting room. As a Sophomore and Junior, he could often be found during drawing periods and lectures in the Dorm pool room, but the Senior year brought a change and no longer did he spend vacations taking make-ups. Tech sends him out into the cold world with confidence. JOSEPH PETER BUCKLEY Joe J.P.B. Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Class Swimming, (1, 2) ; A. I. E. E., (3, 4). “Joe” is one of those good natured irresistible fellows who takes life as it comes and lets the rest of the world go by. While on the Hill he was a diligent scholar, ever in quest of knowledge. Many of his classmates, however, have long been aware that he was always ready for a good time and many memorable occasions have attested to this. Joe is fond of dancing, and often can be found doing this, usually with a buxom lass in tow. ALAN JOHN BYLL Azzie Mechanic St. Johnsbury, Vt. Prep.—St. Johns- bury Academy. Rope Pull, (1, 2) ; Paddle Rush, (1, 2); A. S. M. E., (2, 3, 4). A1 is the mechanical genius of the class as his stroboscope will testify. A quiet, retiring chap, he was hard to fathom but always managed to be there with the goods when he was needed. His heart was never on his sleeve, but it was there, firmly, staunchly beating. We look forward eagerly to the certain success of this Son of Hol¬ land and feel proud to have known a potential Edison or Haynes. Page fifty-four THIRTY FIVE ALFRED CANTOR Al Skull Civil Mattapan, Mass. Prep.—Dorchester High School. Football, (1, 2, 3, 4) W; Baseball, (1, 2, 3, 4), W; Class Foot¬ ball, (1, 2): Athletic Council, (3); Class Gift Committee. Al came to us from Mattapan four years ago and dug his toes into the football field, the base¬ ball diamond, and the Civil course. His husky build and fighting spirit made him one of Tech’s stellar linesmen and this same spirit brought him through the tough competition of Frames, As¬ tronomy, Railroads, etc. According to Al, the last year has been just one headache after another, and the overcoming of the last obstacle will call for a celebration. All we can say is that if the celebra¬ tion is in proportion to the headaches, we want to be there. EDWARD DOLBY CHASE Ed Ctvtl Springfield, Mass. Prep.—Springfield Tech High School. Radio Club, (1, 2) ; Rifle Club, (2) ; Aero Club, (1) : Peddler Board, (4, 5) ; Feature Editor (5). Little is known about the doings of the broker from Springfield before entering his Alma Mater. However, since his arrival, his exploits, good or bad, are well-known to his fellow Civils and other intimate friends. Many stories of the Maine woods have been heard too. Ed, always with a smile, ever ready to help, an enthusiastic tennis player and most of all one never discouraged cannot help but get along in this tough old world. WILLIAM HENRY CLANCEY, JR. Bill Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; A. S. M. E., (3, 4). Bill is another of the mechanically minded sons whom Worcester is proud to call her own. A technical career has not succeeded in changing his unassuming manner, but rather added a depth and breadth to his natural abilities. Entering with the class of ’34, Bill has joined our ranks and goes forth from his Alma Mater with the best wishes of his ’35 mates. His quiet, persistent thoroughness should win him success. Page fifty-five THE PEDDLER EDWARD TREAT CLINTON Ed QTQ. Electric Rocky Hill, Conn. Prep.—Hartford High School. Radio Club. (1, 2) : A. I. E. E., (3, 4) ; Treasurer, (4). Eddie has passed through his four years of the electrical course, onto the honor roll, and into the good graces of his classmates by way of hard work and a pleasant manner. His ability to ask perti¬ nent questions of the instructors has drawn forth much knowledge to benefit both himself and his classmates. Although willing to argue a point, he was not at all adverse to admitting his opponents’ points. Best of luck and success, Eddie. B. AUSTIN COATES Phantom Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Rope Pull, (1, 2) ; Rope Pull Committee, (3) ; A. S. M. E., (4) ; Baccalaureate Committee. With a cheery “Good Morning’’ and a smile, and “B. Austin” is again in our midst. Always glad to accommodate, whether it be to run a revolu¬ tion counter or risk his life lying beneath a speci¬ men being tested on the 400,000 lb. Olsen. Truly, a model disposition. With such a disposition he will certainly succeed in everything “undertooken.” THERON METCALF COLE Pee Wee Mechanic AX A North Carver, Mass. Prep.—Middleboro High School. Rope Pull, (1) ; Paddle Rush. ( 1 ) : Rifle Team, (4) ; Assis¬ tant Manager Eootball, (3). “Pee Wee,” who hails from the quaint hamlet of Carver, has progressed marvelously during his years at Tech. He has gained distinction among all who know him for his delightful dissertations on Cran¬ berry bogs and the picturesque characters of the old home town.” In the classroom his work has been both diligent and excellent. We prophesy a most interesting and promising future for this “bud¬ ding engineer.” Page fifty-six T . H I R T Y FIVE CHESTER BURTON COTTON Chet Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Class Soccer, (1, 2). For five long years the battle raged but this happy-go-lucky chap refused to haul down the flag, and he certainly deserves that old sheepskin. It is rumored that on dark stormy nights, Chet’s ghost can be heard in the Dorm pool room, but though classes may come and go, Chet will never beat Davenport. Chet has showed himself to be a good worker, and we predict success for him among JOHN BROPHY COYLE Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; A. S. M. E., (3, 4) ; Paddle Rush, (1, 2 ). John Brophy and Clancey are another combina¬ tion like the famous Palm-Robinson. John has breezed along the pathway of mechanical engineers with commendably consistent success. Perhaps one might guess his path was not devoid of thorns for the kid brother is an electric: or it might be that the family wants widely diversified interests. Maybe it is a desire to keep ahead and set a mark for his successor that has won him the success that he deserves. the volts and amps of life. EDWARD FRANCIS CRONIN Ed Pappy Crooner Friars Civil Pittsfield, Mass. Prep. Pittsfield High School. Newman Club; Vice President, (3); President, (4); Vice President Class, (3) ; Tech Council, (3) ; Half- Way Through Banquet Committee; Junior Prom Committee; A. S. C. E.; Junior Jacket Committee. When you look at the string of things that this fellow has had his hands in, you wonder just how he kept things going. The secret of his success was only recently discovered, when the honorable “Pappy” was seen sound asleep six afternoons in a row. Ed is one of that type of fellow who likes to take things as they fall, good or bad. His one bad habit is his desire to wear other people’s clothes, with neckwear proving to be the really fatal attrac¬ tion. Page fifty-seven PEDDLER THE CURTIS MARSHALL DANN Marsh Ben i rA TBII Skull Chewist Sharon, Pa. Prep.—Sharon High School. Football, (3, 4), W; Basketball, (1, 2, 3, 4), W; Track, (3, 4), W; Class Tennis, (2) : Tech News, (1, 2, 3, 4); Secretary, (4); Tech Council, (1, 4) ; Class Vice President, (1, 4) : Chair¬ man Interfraternity Ball, (4) : Junior Prom Committee; Half-Way Thru Ban¬ quet Committee; Athletic Council, (4) ; Interfraternity Council, (4) ; Permanent Class Vice President. Principal characteristics—tall, blond, good-look¬ ing, energetic, industrious, thorough. An outstand¬ ing member of all the honorary fraternities and pres¬ ident of Tau Beta Pi. Marsh has been, since his arrival here at Tech, a truly outstanding indi¬ vidual. However, he tends to be the bane of Pete’s existence when he feels the call of the Valley. Nevertheless, a keen and accurate mind, an ability to get along with everybody, a good share of execu¬ tive ability, should help Marsh win quick success in his chosen profession. JOHN SARKES DAVAGIAN Chuck Civil Millbury, Mass. Prep.—Millbury High School. Football, (3); A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4). It was a mystery to us why Chuck, in spite of his share of make-ups, didn’t graduate with the class of ’34, for he seemed to have what it takes to get through Tech in four years; but it was not to be and he spent a year digging potatoes and hoeing corn. Back at Tech, it becaiue evident that Chuck had his eye on the ball, and the averages went up. In our opinion, calm, hard-working Chuck will go far in his chosen field. DONALD ALPHONZO DAY Don Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—North High School. A. I. E. E., (3, 4). “Don” transferred from the University of Flor¬ ida four years ago and immediately impressed the faculty and students that he knew a good deal about electrical engineering in both theoretical and practical manner. His experience at Florida sub¬ stations has been supplemented greatly here at Tech and his collaborate work on a miniature submarine cable system with Frank Gullo seems to have given him a chance to put his practical technique into use. Page fifty-eight THIRTY FIVE MAURICE EDWARD DAY Maurie Civil Milford, Mass. Prep.—Milford High School. Orchestra, (1, 2); Glee Club, (1. 2) : A. S. C. E., (4). Maurice is and will continue to be an asset to the town of Milford. He suddenly beamed into prom¬ inence in Professor Coombs’ Argumentation course in which he expounded loquaciously his principles to the class, like Mussolini to his people. Will¬ ingness and ability to cooperate are the chief traits of his character. Maurice spent many a noon hour entertaining the boys in the pool room with rare Hungarian rhapsodies which he can so distinguish- ingly interpret on the piano. M. E. will always be remembered for his sobriety and modest personality. PHILLIP STACKMAN DEAN Phil AX A Electric New Milford, Conn. Prep.—New Mil¬ ford High School. Rope Pull, (2) ; Paddle Rush, (2) ; A. I. E. E., (3, 4) ; Glee Club, (3, 4); Tech Carnival Comm., (4): Rifle Club, (4). Phil, the little fellow with the hearty laugh, started his college education at Colby. One year of the Liberal Arts, however, convinced him that he wanted to be an engineer. Diligent application to his studies has brought him through four years at Tech in a most remarkable manner. Phil has also applied himself along other lines with admirable results which would seem to indicate that he will meet with success in whatever he attempts. WILLIAM ALBERT DEMPSEY Bill Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Paddle Rush, (1, 2) ; A. I. E. E., (3, 4). “Bill” is another local boy, one of the few, who has graduated from Tech without taking a make¬ up. Aside from the fact that he is very thorough in his work, we would attribute his accuracy in obtaining answers to the use of his Dad’s slide rule. His Dad used it at Tufts Engineering Col¬ lege and the darn thing is nearly automatic by this time I Bin’s” favorite expression was, “You scab.” We. the Electrics of ’3 5, take this oppor¬ tunity to thank him for the World’s Series play by play returns during our “riding the boom” at Chaffins. Page fifty-nine THE PEDDLER RAYMOND GEORGE DESROCHERS Dezzy Friars Civil Aldenville, Mass. Prep.—Williston Academy. Class Vice President. (4); Baseball. (3, 4), W; Chairman Tech Banquet, (4) ; Musical Director New¬ man Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Tech Council (4) ; Class Day Committee. Ray came a short way and then went a long way to get places during his four years stay here. Always a fan at any argument taking place, he will listen a few minutes and then join in with all the argumentative force of the French. His latest ac¬ complishment, that of tickling the ivories for the Boyntonians, has gained him no small renown. Ray is one of a select few who first took the Archi¬ tectural course. SAMUEL DAVID EHRLICH Sam Silent Sam 20 $ Chemist Glastonbury, Conn. Prep.—Glaston¬ bury Fligh School. Skep Chemists, (2, 3, 4) ; Class Soccer, (2) ; Tech Car¬ nival, (1); Paddle Rush, (1, 2). Sam is one of the few Chemists who liked Bromine so much he had to live in an atmosphere of it. Silent Sam as he is sometimes known, is not quite so silent when good Chemists get together. Who can forget Bancroft Tower. Bowling seems to be his major sporting vice. Sam seems to have the indescribable something that at¬ tracts and holds the attention of what is commonly called the weaker sex. Good luck to our future organic chemist. RICHARD STEPHEN FALVEY Dick ex Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Commerce High School. Freshman Swimming: Swimming, (2, 3. 4), Captain (3); Chairman Soph Hop Committee; Junior Prom Cornmittee; A. L E. E., (3, 4) ; Senior Banquet Committee. Always on time for classes, his preps well done, at every Tech social event, and equally at home in the pool or on the dance floor—this is Dick. When it comes to driving, he ' s a wonder: some of his better performances being on Senior summer inspection trips and on swimming trips. Throughout his time at Tech. Dick has managed to keep far up in that select” group, the Electrics, and in spite of a lot of outside night work” too. What a man! Page sixty THIRTY FIVE RUSSELL WILLIAM FARGO Russ Electric Chester, Conn. Prep.—Chester High School. Paddle Rush. (1, 2); Rope Pull, (1, 2) : A. I. E. E., (3, 4). Tech lured this static chaser from the wilds of Chester, Conn., Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Bear Moun¬ tain, and points west. We have a feeling that Russ did more real labor than anyone else in the E. E. gang—and got less credit for it. Yet, some¬ how. he managed to find time to be “minister with¬ out portfolio” to Mt. Holyoke and to join in any impromptu foray against an unsuspecting public. To the future, Russ—don ' t take any blue slips! JOSEPH EDWARD FLANAGAN, JR. Joe Friars Chemist Worcester. Mass. Prep.—North High School. Newman Club; Class Tennis. (2) : Tennis, (2, 3, 4) ; Junior Mar¬ shall; Skep Chemists, (2). Joe was Worcester North ' s gift to Worcester Tech, or more specifically, to the Tech tennis team. For Joe was a consistent performer on the courts for three years, and many of us have watched and marveled at the booming drives delivered by this slender fellow. That soporiferous lectures inspired him to jokes, gives one some idea of Joe’s per¬ sonality—a cheerful, friendly fellow well known to all on the Hill. HERBERT FORBES GALE Herbie Pooper HT Electric Northboro. Mass. Prep. — Northboro High School. Rope Pull, (1, 2). Herbie” came to us from the class of ' 34. having been overcome by steam. But like a true engineer he did not let this hold him down but worked the harder. This quality combined with his unassuming nature has made him well liked by his classmates. He was one of those mysterious commuters who was seldom late despite his numer¬ ous eight o ' clocks. If “Herbie” continues with his constant striving and punctuality, he is destined to succeed. Page sixty-one THE PEDDLER JOSEPH GLASSER Electric Joe Holyoke, Mass. Prep.—Holyoke High School. A. I. E. E., (3, 4) ; Radio Club, (1, 2, 3, 4); PEDDLER, (3, 4), Advertising Manager, (4). Joe has been a popular man all through his career upon the Hill. Besides being an adept Elec¬ trical Engineer he has shown selling ability this year as Advertising Manager of the PEDDLER. It would seem he should tie the two talents together with his winning personality and make a fortune and a success in his life’s career. Whatever he does—as long as it’s honest—we give him our very best and sincere wishes. JULIUS LAWRENCE GOULD Jule 4 SIv Electric Greenfield. Mass. Prep.—Greenfield High School. Radio Club, (1, 2); Eencing Club, (1, 2); Swimming, (2, 3); Interfraternity Council, (3); Soc¬ cer, Manager, (4) ; Junior Prom Com¬ mittee, (3); Interfraternity Ball Chair¬ man, (3). Being named after one of Rome’s great heroes, much is expected from “Jule” and as he is going to Harvard Business School, he should be able to make good. Jule hails from Greenfield, a town amid the western hills, where he perhaps gained his interest for contact bridge and electricity. We are also told that he is greatly interested in New Rochelle, which may account for his being one of the best dressers on the Hill. RAYMOND OSCAR GRANGER Goo Goo Eriars Civil Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4) ; New¬ man Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Cross Country, (2, 3, 4) ; Track, (1, 2, 3, 4). “Goo Goo” to you, but would be better nick¬ named if called aluminum, because of his light weight and endurance. This fact was shown many times in a cross country race or his habit of keeping late hours over his studies or other things, mostly other things. Always pleasant and considerate, Ray made many friends in and outside the school. Ray will surely get along in the world as he is a natural go-getter and has a great deal of common sense. He will probably be remembered by his classmates in the drafting room as the deriver of helpful for¬ mulas. Page sixty-two THIRTY FIVE WILLIAM EMIL GRUBERT Bill 2:ae M echanic Westfield, Mass. Prep.—Westfield Acad¬ emy. Golf, (2, 3, 4) ; Class Basketball, (1, 2); Aero Club, (2, 3, 4): Class Golf, (1, 2). Bill ' s work at Tech has been similar to his golf; he works hard at both and though good, is not a star in either. In order to keep in shape Bill may often be found on the basketball court, for which he has quite a liking. Who will forget the gray Ford roadster, and the many miles it has traveled between the Hill and the Western part of the state. Continued persistent effort should win success. Bill. MARTIN BRONISLAW GRUZDIS Brownie KHS Chemist Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Skep Chemists, (2, 3, 4) ; Rope Pull, (1, 2) : Class Soccer, (1, 2). “Grudzie,” the working man’s friend, has up¬ held his views for the four years we have known him. Starting out as a book-worm, he soon be¬ came a regular fellow and who can forget that memorable summer shop afternoon at Bancroft Tower. Many a dull lecture in Dinnius Calhanus’ class was enlivened by such expressions as Bizover- gul which has a great deal of meaning to the ini¬ tiated. Here’s hoping he gets a job so we won’t lose him to Russia. ERANCIS VICTOR GULLO Frank Electric Lawrence. Mass. Prep.—General Electric School. A. I. E. E., (3, 4) ; President (4). When Frank descended upon us in the Sophomore year, straight from G. E. in Schenectady, we cor¬ rectly sized him up as a lad w ho had been around plenty. Somewhere in his work, he picked up all the characteristics of a live wire. Frank, as busy as he usually was, found time to take in his share of the dances. To put it mildly, this chap is well liked around the Hill, and with graduation, Frank should continue rapidly on the road to success. Page sixty-three PEDDLER THE JAMES JOHN GUSHA Jimmy Cmil Worcester, Mass. Prep.—South High School. A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4) ; Cosmo Club, (2, 3, 4). Jimmy’s popularity among the students, especi¬ ally the civils, must have been well deserved; the 1 9 35 senior civil class would not have been com¬ plete without this energetic and enthusiastic stu¬ dent. “Dasher”, as he is sometimes called, is the needed spark in a powder barrel of fun and frolic. His ability is not limited to studies as he excels in interpreting Baer’s style of boxing; his smooth foot¬ work is a natural result of his ability to perform a few modern rhumbas on the dance floor. Jimmy knows when to be serious-minded and when to be jovial. PRESTON HENRY HADLEY, JR. Pret 4 rA Mechanic Bellows Falls, Vt. Prep.—East Hart¬ ford High School. Assistant Manager Football, (3) ; Manager Soccer, (3) ; Tech Carnival Comm., (2); Interfra¬ ternity Dance Comm.; Tech Council, (4). When the Class of ’34 regretfully left the guid¬ ing hand of its Alma Mater, it left to us one who has become one of the best of our friends. We have here a boy who has that enviable ability to combine business and pleasure with maximum effi¬ ciency in both. “Style Leadership” has been inti¬ mately connected with his name for some time, and wisely, for he moves positively and swiftly. Smooth sailing to you, Pret. ALLAN ERASER HARDY, JR. Al ex Chemist Worcester. Mass. Prep.—North High School. Rifle Club, (1 ) ; Skep Chem¬ ists, (3, 4). Al is one of the big men of the senior class, both in stature and ability and consequently one of the most popular. He started off his freshman year as class chairman and has been prominent ever since. Al’s cheery smile and robust form, as well as his “tan-terror” (Buick to you), have become familiar around the campus and will be much missed by the underclassmen. His genial personality promises to take him far. Page sixty-four THIRTY FIVE FRANCIS LLOYD HARRINGTON Franny Bismarck TBii ex XS Chemist Rock City Falls, N. Y. Prep.—Man¬ chester (Conn.) High School. Assistant Manager Spring Track, (3); Manager Fall Track, (4). “Franny” is one of the most popular of the senior chemists, not only because he is the only one of us who is marrieci (literally speaking) , but also because he is a regular fellow. His attempts to win the favor of the faculty have earned for him the title of “Bismarck”—a term so subtle that only a Senior Chemist can fully appreciate it. However, Franny takes it all good-naturedly for he can al¬ ways appreciate a joke, even if it is on himself. EDWARD EVERETT HAYDEN Oscar Civil Brookville, Mass. Prep.—Sumner High School. Glee Club, (1, 2, 4) ; Masque, (1, 3). All hail our troubadour of the western plains. Oscar’s inspiration has been the sand dunes of Cape Cod, but the Glee Glub audiences think he’s genu¬ ine. With his guitar, silvery tenor voice, and in¬ fallible sense of humor, Oscar has carved himself a niche in the dormitory’s hall of fame. Those who have seen his pencil sketches and the letters he re¬ ceives will testify that his artistic ability is not con¬ fined to music. Also, he graduates as an Archi¬ tectural Engineer. JAMES KNAPP HEALY Jack evA Electric Weymouth, Mass. Prep.—Weymouth High School. Track, (1, 2, 4); Class Track, (1, 2), Captain, (1). Jack is the sort of boy who may not impress one much upon first knowing him but as time goes on he is bound to win the respect and friendship of those with whom he comes in contact. He is good-natured and obliging to the nth degree, never refusing to help or grant a favor when called on. Although the town of Sterling seems to exert some magic appeal on Jack, a knowledge of this appeal brings complete understanding of the situa¬ tion. Page sixty-five THE P E D D I. E R WILLY MAX REBEL ■ ' v eTi2 Skull Electric South Glastonbury. Conn. Prep.—Glas¬ tonbury High School. Soccer. ( 1. 2. 3. 4), aWf, Captain, (4) ; A. I. E. E. (3,4). Is there anyone on the Hill who does not know our Willy, soccer player de luxe? His ability along these lines was recognized early and he was unani¬ mous choice for class soccer captain for two years. His season as captain of the varsity added to his laurels. As an Electrical Engineer he also shone. His sportsmanship and all round adaptability give great promise for Willy’s successful future. JULIUS RUSSELL.HEMENWAY Russ Electric Worcester. Mass. Prep.—Worcester High School of Commerce. Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) : A. I. E. E. (3, 4). “J. Russ” prepped at W. H. S. of C. as five of his classmates. By dint of hard mental effort and high marks he will manage to graduate in the astounding time of four years. He has always been held in high esteem since he seems to be one of the very select few who have always had their homework done on time. His puns, good and otherwise, are renowned and will leave a large va¬ cancy in the laugh-provolcing power on the Hill. EUGENE SOMERS HENNING Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—South High School. A. I. E. E., (3, 4). I am now introducing one of the most brilliant electrics. Eugene started right away winning the topmost honors and he managed to keep it up to the final honor roll. His success is probably due to the fact that he proceeds cautiously and he has his mind always open for difficulties and details. Eugene ' s favorite reply to a quickly formulated explanation is, “Well, I don ' t know about that.” His alertness to details and his brilliant record ought to land him in a good position in research work. Good luck to you, Eugene. Page sixty-six FIVE 1 ' 11 1 R T Y FLOYD LAIRD HIBBARD Ma Mother ern Skuii Electric Seymour, Conn. Prep. — Seymour High School. Class Football, (1, 2) : Rope Pull, (1, 2): Football, (3, 4), W; Baseball, (3, 4), W. “Mother” has proved himself to be a likeable and deserving chap. We didn ' t hear very much about him until Pete discovered in our Junior year that “Ma” was an end of ends. That started it, next he won another letter holding down the initial sack last spring. “Mother” is a good enough student and has proved a willing helpmate to any who ask. His winning manner will always hold a host of friends for him. HERBERT NICOLAS HOFFMAN Herbie Mechanic Clinton, Mass. Prep.—Clinton High School. A. S. M. E. (3, 4). “Herman”—small in stature but a mental giant with an amazing capacity and patience for neat and detailed work—-is another hard-working mechanic due to get the reward for his four years soon. His Strength Problems were the despair of his classmates because of their neatness (a complete index was included) until they were returned with a B. Keep up the good work. Herb, and you’re bound to win out. LEONARD G. HUMPHREY, JR. Hump exp Mechanic Marblehead. Mass. Prep.—Northeastern U. Band, (1, 2, 3, 4), Manager, (2) : Tech Neivs. (2, 3, 4), Junior Editor, (3) : Editor-in-Chief, (4) ; Tech Coun¬ cil, (4): Class Historian, (1, 2, 3). Eour years ago, “Hump ’ decided that life at “Motheaten” was a little tame, so he headed for the wilds of Worcester Tech. One of the most active members of the class, his most notable ac¬ complishment is the T ech NeiOs, which shcjwed remarkable development during his term as editor- in-chief. In his desire for knowledge. Hump has decided to stay around another year to complete his work. If Hump does as well in the future as he did on the Neivs, he is sure to become suc¬ cessful. Page sixty-seven THE PEDDLER WENDELL DENNING JEWELL Wen Civil Providence, R. I. Providence Technical High School. Camera Club, (1, 2, 3, 4), President, (3), Vice-President, (4) ; Rifle Club, (1); PEDDLER, (2, 3, 4), Assistant Photographic Editor, (3), Photographic Editor, (4) ; Glee Club, (4): A. S. C. E., (4), Vice-President, (3). It took some time for Wen to be known to his fellow civils. To the student body as a whole, however, his reputation is “the best photographer on the Hill—and several other hills.” We haven’t yet been able to figure out how one can so ably divide his outside interests between a pair of skiis, a camera, and a girl and still make honors. How do you do it, Wen? One of his weaknesses was arriving in class after all others were present. Wen’s only regret has been that Tech does not have a winter sports team, or at least a coach. LADISLAUS THOMAS JODAITIS Joe Friars Civil Gardner, Mass. Prep.—Gardner High School. Rope Pull, (1, 2) ; Swimming, (2, 3) ; A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4) ; New¬ man Club, (1, 2, 3, 4). Laddy is another jovial Civil, one always ready to pass the weary hours with tales of his exploits, both real and fancied. His avoirdupois being in the line generally referred to as pleasingly plump or stylishly stout, Jojo has the disposition that usu¬ ally accompanies our heavier friends. Lad is always there, ready to help a pal when help is needed. His great assets are his skill in dancing and in bridge. JOSEPH ALLEN JOHNSON, JR. Joe TBn f 2K Electric Niagara Falls, N. Y. Prep.—Niagara Falls High School. Rope Pull, (1, 2) ; Paddle Rush, (1, 2); Class Basketball, (1, 2); Radio Club, (1, 2, 3); Vice- President, (2) : President, (3) ; Chair¬ man Rope Pull Comm., (3) : A. I. E. E., (3, 4) ; Interfraternity Council, (3, 4) : Interfraternity Ball Comm., (4) : General Chairman, Commencement week committee. Joe, following in the footsteps of his dad, came to Tech. A good deal of his spare time, during his first years here was spent delving into the mys¬ teries of the radio. When Joe began to broaden his education along the social lines, his radio in¬ terests faded away. A good scholar, a leader in his class, and a loyal supporter of Tech activities, Joe is the type that cannot help but make good. Page sixty-eight THIRTY FIVE ARTHUR RODNEY KLEBART Rod Civil Webster, Mass. Prep.—Bartlett High School. Fencing, (1). Well, Rod, it certainly has been a long trail, but now that the end has arrived, you can sit back in your easy chair, smoke your pipe, and think of the good old days when you were free and but a freshman. Rod wanted to be a Civil and no one could discourage him. Many a mile has the old brown Buick taken him between Worcester and Webster. Rod has a head start on most of us and ought to keep well out in front. PAUL STOVER KRANTZ Stover Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Classical High School. Rope Pull, (1, 2) : Aero Club, (2, 3, 4). Because of that permanently serious counten¬ ance, the casual observer could never be led to believe that P. Stover has achieved success in mixing two practically unmixable elements—honors and women. Yet you can be certain of finding him in one of two places—always on the honor roll, and either studying or in some place where the fairer sex is present. A remarkable character¬ istic—more power to you, Paul. BROR GUSTAF LARSON Gus AXA Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Worcester South High School. Rope Pull, (1, 2). Y’ars and y’ars ago an observer would have noted amid the turmoil of the Hill a chunky lil fella keeping tabs on a young giant as best he could, the rally cry being George, let’s go play basketball.” If there was anything a-foot, the two were usually pretty well involved especially in Thermo. Times have changed, and the boys have quieted down to a dull roar, and now the slogan is Gus, let ' s you and me do a problem.” Page sixty-nine THE PEDDLER THEODORE RUDOLPH LATOUR Ted ■ ' y i;X TBIT Chemist Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Assumption College, A.B. Newman Club Secretary, (3, 4) : Skep Chymists, (2, 3, 4) ; Class Gift Committee Chairman. A bundle of energy, the fastest and most effi¬ cient of the chemists, a high scholar, a social lion, and an all-around good fellow—such are the terms descriptive of Ted. Not satisfied with the attain¬ ment of a B.A. degree, he sought further knowledge at Tech in the field of chemistry. Ted never sought honors, but honors came to him when, in recog¬ nition of his scholarship and character, both Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi included him among their selections. ROGER HILL LAWTON Rog Electric Springfield, Mass. Prep.—Athol High School. Football, (2, 3, 4), W; Class Football, (1, 2); Rope Pull, (1, 2); A. L E. E., (4) ; Invitations Committee Chairman. “Rog” is our favorite strong man, not only physically, but even more so with respect to cer¬ tain rock-like qualities exhibited whether he is playing football or dunning one of his fraternity brothers for an overdue bill. Immovability, per¬ sistence, steadfastness of purpose all go to make up the man. It is a safe prediction that his steady plugging and thoroughness in anything that he attempts, rather than “flash in the pan” brilliance will make his career more successful than the average. HERBERT VICTOR LECKIE, JR. Vic 1 SK Electric Rome, New York. Prep.—Collinwood High School, Cleveland, Ohio. Tech News, (2, 3, 4) ; Assistant Business Manager, (3 ' ) ; Business Manager, (4) ; Paddle Rush, (2). Vic, although handicapped by living in Rome, N. Y., has overcome this obstacle with a notable degree of success. His quiet and unassuming man¬ ner. along with his talks on psychology make him a well-liked member of the class, as any Electric will testify. Although a few of the profs tried to trip him as he was diploma bound. Vic always managed to come through with that pink slip at the critical time and from all indications we can surely say that success seems inevitable.

A., (4) : Class Track, (1, 2): Track, (1, 2, 3, 4), W; Tech Council, (4); Business Manager Tech Bible, (4) ; ' Tech News, ( 2 ). Hal’s loyalty to his home town is evidenced by his philosophy that Worcester and West Spring- field are the whole world and Worcester is just a drop in the bucket. Many of us envy Hal for his quick perception and self-assurance. If you know a thing be sure of it—we agree with him there. The last year here has seen Mr. Le Due turn woman-hater—no explanations. Indications are that success will come to Harold through his literary efforts. ORRIN PRESCOTT LEE Dubber AXA Mechanic South Hamilton, Mass. Prep.—Hamil¬ ton High School. Rope Pull. (2) ; Paddle Rush, (1) : Class Football, (1) ; Rifle Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Manager, (2) : President, (4) ; Captain Rifle Team, (4) : Aero Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Presi¬ dent, (4) : Radio Club, (3) ; Senior Banquet Committee. This promising young aeronaut is truly versatile. He is an expert with rifles. A licensed aviator, he may often be observed flying through the sky in some flashy plane. His room contains a well equipped radio station and how he can concentrate on studies amid such a mass of paraphernalia is a mystery to us. Watch this man! We predict his future will merit him a page in Who’s Who. LESTER LOUIS LIBBY Les Electric Frosh Swimming: Swimming, (2): Band, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Radio Club, (1, 2, 3, 4). Les is a walking ad for a haberdasher and a correspondence school. He is one man who took a course in radio by mail and got something out of it. His apparel is almost too neat for a true Electrical Engineer, but don’t let that fool you. He is, and a good one. Combine punctuality with his neatness and ability and you have a story book ideal of a successful young man. Page seventy-one THE PEDDLER KENNETH ANDREW LINELL Ken cm Worcester, Mass. Prep.—North High School. Tech News, (1, 2, 3); Junior Editor, (3) ; Camera Club, (2, 3, 4) ; Treas¬ urer, (3) : Aero Club, (3, 4) ; Rope Pull, (1, 2): Paddle Rush, (1, 2); A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4) : Treasurer, (4). Ken’s first year at Tech was rather inconspicu¬ ous. His character is of the type which does not blaze from the surface. It took time for us to penetrate his quiet reserve and discover the qualities of dependability, absolute honesty, and courage. Our faith in his honesty was shown by the fact that he was elected treasurer of the A. S. C. E. Ken’s particular passions are mountain climbing and skiing. He is proficient in each. HARRY ROBERT LIVINGSTON Roscoe Harry Electric Holyoke, Mass. Prep.—Holyoke High School. Dormitory Committee; Radio Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Glee Club, (2, 3) ; A. I. E. E., (3, 4). Harry is another of Holyoke’s numerous con¬ tributions to Tech. He first gained prominence while a Freshman by frequently throwing the dorm¬ itory into darkness as the result of the experiments he performed in his room. Ever since then his interests have consisted chiefly of electrical and radio apparatus, although for a while he dabbled with the Glee Club. Harry’s willingness to go out of his way to help any one won him many friends. ROBERT BOWNESS LOGAN Bob f rA Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Mount Her- mon School. Outdoor Track, (1. 2, 3), W; A. S. M. E., (2, 3, 4) ; Junior Banquet Comm.; Baseball, (1). The Class of ’34 left many a worthy man behind to help the class of ’3 5 through the de¬ pression. Bob would be an asset anywhere whether it be at school, socials, or church fairs. His care¬ free nature and jolly disposition are as infectious as fever in the tropics. Bob is one of the older members of the class, having spent three years working before entering Tech, but the practical experience received will no doubt be a big help after graduation. Page seventy-two THIRTY FIVE EDWARD JOSEPH LUNNEY Ed Mechanic Worcester, Mass. South High School. Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Aero Club (3, 4) : A. S. M. E., (3, 4). Ed appears more like a high school freshman than a Tech senior, but a few moments conver¬ sation convinces his listeners that he justly deserves his B.S. To his fellow mechanics Ed is well known and appreciated. The secret of his success in winning friends and good marks are his smile and ability to dig in and work. This warrants success in any man’s world. ARVO ALBERT LUOMA Arvo Mechanic Fitchburg, Mass. Prep.—Fitchburg High School. Aero Club, (3, 4) ; A. S. M. E., (3, 4). Arvo came down from Fitchburg four years ago determined to follow in his brother’s, the “Pro¬ fessor’s”, footsteps. The brother has nothing on Arvo for the latter has spent four years on the high honor rolls. A very quiet fellow, he is a true friend when one breaks through his reserve. His continued hard work and brilliant mind should win him honor and success. NORBERT JOSEPH LUSZCZYNSKI Whitey Kns Civil Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School, Worcester, Mass. Frosh Swim¬ ming, (2, 3): Cross Country, (1); Rope Pull. (2) : A. S. C. E., (3, 4) ; Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4). It isn’t often that one person can be so gifted as Whitey is. A natural blonde, a fair athlete, a graceful dancer, and, above all, a good scholar, he has taken a special place among his fellow civils. We first learned of his other abilities at Camp Stephenson. Do you reme mber. Whitey? Atten¬ tion. Civils! At last the Possum has been found. Serious minded, industrious, but always ready for a good time, that ' s Whitey. Page seventy-three THE PEDDLER DONALD GORDON MacMILLAN Don Mac Elechic Hardwick, Mass. Prep.—Hardwick High School. A. I. E. E., (2, 3); Radio Club, (1, 2, 3) : Secretary, (3) ; Class Rifle Team, (2) : Paddle Rush, (2) ; Tech Carnival Committee, (4) ; Class Soccer, (2). Mac, that tall, slim, blond, came to us from Hardwick, which is the geometric center of the Commonwealth. This makes him a well centered young man, although it can’t be said that his in¬ terests are all centered on his home town. Mac’s technical qualities were soon discovered when he obtained his amateur radio operator’s license and began to send those dots and dashes into the ether waves. We look forward to his success after these tendencies. CHARLES WITHAM McELROY Charlie Civil Lowell, Mass. Prep.—Lowell High School. Class Football, (1, 2); Class Swimming. (1, 2) : Swimming, (2, 3, 4), sWt; Peddler, (2, 3, 4), Sports Editor, (3), Class Editor, (4); Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, (3). Charlie is another of that select gathering of ex- ’34 Civils, and although Pa French, the Major, and others kept him fairly busy, he managed to take part in other sports. As a Varsity swimmer, he covered many a mile; and as a wage earner he cut out more than his share of Salt Velocity curves. Also he was a Cheer Leader, and last but not least, the Freshman’s Friend in the Dorm. Big things are expected for this hard-working, likable son of Lowell. WIELIAM EELISON McKAY Bill TZK Skull TBII ni. ctric Springfleld, Mass. Prep.—Springfield Technical High School, Springfield, Mass. Rope Pull, (1, 2); Paddle Rush, (1, 2) ; Class Soccer, (1, 2) ; Class Presi¬ dent, (2, 3. 4); Permanent President; Soccer, (4), AWF; Assistant Manager, Basketball, (3) ; Manager, (4) ; Tech Council, (2, 3, 4) ; President, (4) ; Tech Banquet Committee, (3); Fresh¬ man Vigilance Committee, Chairman, (2); Freshman Skit, Tech Banquet; Sophomore Skit, Tech Banquet. Bill has undoubtedly been one of the most active men on the Hill during his four year stay at Tech. However, his attentions have not solely been taken up by his many activities, for he has made quite a record for himself in the Electrical Engineering Course. Bill is an ardent baseball fan and in the summer spends much of his time following this sport. He is known and liked by everyone on the Hill, including both the students and the faculty. Page seventy-four THIRTY FIVE THEODORE DAVID McKINLEY Ted Hotcha TBii ex Chemist Winthrop. Mass. Prep.—Winthrop High School. Cross Country, Track, (1, 2, 3, 4). Skeptical Chymists, (1, 2, 3, 4) : Invitations Committee. Here he comes with a big smile on his face and, no wonder, “Ted” is the lucky boy who holds down the track all year, gets fine marks, and still finds time to work in the Dorm. His four years of cross-country running, and his usual snappy remark will be long remembered on the campus. “Ted” seems to have picked his course well because he takes to Chemistry like a duck takes to water and should go places after graduation. THOMAS FRANCIS McNULTY Tom ATP Skull Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—South High School. Frosh Swimming Captain; Swimming, (1, 2, 3), sWt; Soph Hop Committee: Junior Prom Committee; Interfraternity Ball Committee, (4) ; In¬ terfraternity Council Delegate, (4) ; Tech Council, (4): Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Athletic Council, (2, 4), Secretary, (2), President, (4); Class Secretary, (2): Football, (1, 2. 3, 4), W, Cap¬ tain, (4). A breezy “Hello Girls heard on the campus tells us that “Tom” is somewhere nearby. His ready laugh and that “personality” smile have won him a host of friends at Tech. “Tom” took his football seriously, and as a result was an outstand¬ ing player for four years. Although he won’t admit it “Tom” thinks that he would do rather well as the Women’s Candidate for Mayor of Wor¬ cester. Well “Tom,” women or no women, you will get our vote. GEORGE MAKELA George ex XS Civil Fitchburg, Mass. Prep.—Fitchburg High School. Freshman Swimming: Swim¬ ming. (2, 3, 4) : Class Swimming, (1, 2) : A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4). Among the noble sons from Fitchburg is num¬ bered George Makela, a strong, silent fellow. George is very amiable and quiet until someone treads on his toes. Those who are lucky enough to be counted among his associates know him to be loyal, friendly, and ready to tackle any job that may come his way. With his pleasant personality, his scholastic achievements, and his ability to plug through and cooperate, his future looks exception¬ ally bright. Page seventy-five THE PEDDLER RICHARD PARKER MERRIAM Babe Skull GTfl Mechanic ■ yMiddletown, Conn. Prep.—Deerfield Academy. Class Soccer, (1, 2) ; Varsity Golf, (1) ; Assistant Manager Basketball, (3) ; Class Treasurer, (2, 3, 4, Perm.) ; Junior Banquet Committee: Junior Mar¬ shall: Varsity Tennis, (3, 4): Captain Tennis, (4) : Tech News, Circulation Manager, (4) . “Babe” came to Tech from Deerfield and from the start it was evident that he would go places before graduation. Six feet of rosy-cheeked man¬ hood and a winning personality have helped him to become very popular. Although the fair sex did not make any great appeal to him during his stay here, he was always with the fellows. If his future ventures are as striking as those here at Tech, who knows with what he may next sur¬ prise us. GEORGE ANDREW MITCHELL Electric Springfield, Mass. Prep.—Springfield Technical High School. Glee Club, (1, 2, 4) : A. I. E. E., ( 4). George came up from Springfield four years ago with the ambition of becoming a good electrical engineer. Since that time his interests have been focused in the vicinity of Westboro where he has found a further incentive for his successive ambi¬ tions. Envious classmates have often watched George drive up in “the girl friend’s car” to attend a few classes, only to hustle back to the Westboro limits. George has been noted for his questions in class: the star question in Maxies’ Industries Engineering being, “How long is the noon hour?” RAYMOND LEWIS MOELLER Ray TBn 2S Mechanic Middletown, Conn. Prep.—Middletown High School. Tech Council, (4) ; A. S. M. E., (2, 3, 4), President, (4): Rope Pull, (1, 2) : Class Day Com¬ mittee. “Name, please,” was Ray’s greeting to the Freshmen, as he checked them off in the Dorm dining hall. Ray displayed his engineering ability early in his career, by winning the coveted Yankee Ingenuity Scholarship.” His dapper appearance won for him the name of “the best dressed man on the Hill.” We have often wondered why he never gave the fair damsels of Worcester the benefit of his radiant personality. His remarkable memory and persistence will be a great asset to him. Fage seventy-six THIRTY FIVE JOHN JOSEPH MOLLOY J.J. Friars Civil Auburn, Mass. Prep.—Worcester South High School, Worcester, Mass. A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4); Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4). The town of Auburn contributed more than its share when she loaned John J. to Tech for four years. The 1 935 Civils, one and all, respect this lanky youth for his unselfishness and ever- willingness to oblige in any and every way. Be¬ ing well versed in military principles which he learned at the C. M. T. C. camp, this straw¬ haired youth is always obedient and respectful to his elders as well as to his classmates. John’s goal after graduation is obtaining employment on one of the Mississippi Valley projects. ALBERT EDWARD MORAN At Friars Chemist Somerville, N. J. Prep.—Johnson High School, North Andover, Mass. Cross¬ country, (2, 3, 4) ; Captain, (4) ; Var¬ sity Track; Jnterclass Track; Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4). “Petit” A1 made his first public appearance in North Andover. He soon observed the importance of his nose and decided to become a Chemist. It was probably the desire to get away from the vile odors that gave him his inspiration to become one of Coach Johnstone’s prodigies. A1 naturally fol¬ lowed the Horatio Alger pattern and became captain in the end. His greatest attribute is his uncanny eye which never misses a trick. Just ask him. HOMER ROLLINS MORRISON A TO General Scientist West Hartford, Conn. Prep.—North- boro High School. Class Football, (1) ; Rope Pull, (1) ; Paddle Rush, (1, 2) ; Class Track, (1) ; Class Basketball, (1, 2) ; Tech Carnival Skit Committee, (1, 2) ; Tech Banquet Skit Committee Chairman, (1, 3) ; Tech Council, (4) ; Tech News, (1, 2, 3, 4), Junior Editor, (3), Managing Editor, (4); PEDDLER, (2, 3, 4), Junior Editor, (3), Editor- in-Chief, (4) ; A. I. E. E., (4). Homer is one of the very busy men on th- ' Hill this year. Earning all his expenses, wearing grooves in the road to Wheaton, and the list of activities above would keep anyone busy. He is a five-year man, but through sickness. Though his record of no conditions has tottered this year, he has managed to keep it intact so far. A store¬ house of information, his undergraduate work points to the success we hope he will gain, either as a college instructor or editor—one of which he says he will be. Page seventy-seven THE PEDDLER ROLAND LIBBY NIMS Roily Electric Bloomfield, N. J. Prep.—Bloomfield High School. Rope Pull, (1, 2): Pad¬ dle Rush.

This tall lad with the dark, curly hair seems to have inherited the Tech spirit, as his activities will show. If he isn’t busy with the band, the PEDDLER, or the tennis team, he may be found absorbed in some part of the E. E. course. In spite of this, he somehow finds time to appear at all Tech functions. With all these activities, we expect to see some results in the future. HOWARD EINAR NORDLUND Howie ATP Electric Dorchester, Mass. Prep. — Northeastern University. A. I. E. E., (3, 4) ; PED¬ DLER, (3, 4), Assistant Advertising Manager, (4) ; Cam.era Club, (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary, (4) ; Boat Club, (1, 2) ; Rope Pull, (1,2). Howie came to Worcester Tech when he decided that Northeastern was not doing right by his abil¬ ities. He has been with us for four years and we have grown to like this welcome addition to our class. Many a mile has he traveled between here and points east, first as a commuter and later as a (you call it). Perhaps it is the winning personality for he hasn ' t worn out his thumb. Prepared now by Worcester Tech we send him forth with confidence. JOHN FRANCIS NOREIKA, JR. Johnny Skull Civil Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Baseball, (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain, (3), W; Football, (3), W; Basketball, (1, 2, 3, 4), W: Class Basketball, (1, 2): Class Football, (1, 2). Johnny started life as a member of ’34, but like so many Civils, he is now ' 3 5. During his stay at Tech he was among the best in football, baseball, and basketball for three years, but last year a knee injury kept him from sports and judg¬ ing from his marks, it would seem that Tech’s loss was Johnny s gam. Then too, we mustn’t forget his dexterity with the pool cue, his willing¬ ness to bet on anything, and his ability to flunk Jr. Railroads, while having no apparent difficulty with Frames. Page seventy-eight THIRTY FIVE JOHN JOSEPH O’SHEA Jack i:AE Mechanic Worcester. Mass. Prep.—North High School. Boat Club. (1, 2) : Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4): Interfraternity Council, (3, 4) ; Class Football, (1) : A. S. M. E., (3, 4). Johnny and the Cadillac are famous on the Hill: especially after the episode of the stolen skull. His sense of humor and ready wit have relieved the monotony of many a long lab period, and served the class well at the Tech Banquet this year. If the others had been as clever in acting as Jack was in planning, the margin of victory for ’35-’37, would have been much greater. VERNER RUDOLPH OLSON Oley AXA Chemist Worcester, Mass. Prep.—North High School. Tech Seconds, (1, 3j : Skeptical Chymists, (2, 3, 4) ; Glee Club, (4) ; Class Basketball, (1, 2, 3) ; Rope Pull, (1, 2): Paddle Rush, (2). “Oley” is the snappiest dresser of the Chemists, his one weakness being neckties. Although an excellent student, a high point man in fraternity basketball, he sometimes scratches in billiards. He had little need for our Business Course, having specialized in management for years. He sang a deep bass in the Glee Club, but could warble tenor on occasions, especially in the joint concerts with Framingham, where the presence of the other sex encouraged him to reach his greatest heights. ANDREW WALTER PALM Andy Mechanic Milford, Mass. Prep. — Milford High School. A. S. M. E.. (3, 4). Andrew can generally be found in one of two places, either in the M. E. Library or in the bowling alleys in the gym. Always full of pep, dashing hither and yon. After hours of toil we wonder how anyone can have so much pep left. We shall always think of him when we hear, “Is there any theory in this report?” Andy is the other half of the famous pair. Palm and Robinson. Shake hands with the gentleman, Andy. Page seventy-nine THE PEDDLER ALBERT THAYER PHELPS Al i SK Mechanic Warehouse Point, Conn. Prep.—Enfield High School. A. S. M. E., (2, 3, 4). Al is another ex-member of the class of ' 34, and besides four years at Tech, his engineering education consists of a year at Rensselaer and a half year at Michigan. Always ready to help, he stood ace high in the estimation of those who knew him. One soon found out that Al’s weak¬ ness was baseball as played in the big leagues. We are certain that the quiet perseverance of this chap will carry him far after he leaves the Hill. WILLIAM CHARLTON POTTER Bill 4 rA 2S Electric Springfield, Mass. Prep.—Springfield Technical High School. A. E E. E., (3, 4) ; Class Soccer, (1, 2) ; Soccer, (2, 3) : Cap and Gown Committee. In our four years we have watched Bill work himself into the good graces of his classmates and the others here on the Hill. Everyone has come into contact with him during his three years work in the book store. Apparently Bill chose his course well for he has won a place for himself among the graduates of the E. E. Department in spite of his outside work. Keep up the good work. Bill, and you’ll win out. JOHN JOSEPH POWER John 2AE Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Georgetown University, A.B., 1 933. A. S. C. E., (3, 4) : Newman Club, (3, 4) ; Senior Banquet Committee Chairman. Johnny came to us in the Sophomore year after graduating from Georgetown, and decided that Architecture was the course for him. He is a fellow who managed to do justice to the Civil Course and at the same time maintain his standing as a social lion around the Hill. It is rumored that Johnny knows more about New York, Boston and Cleveland than the rest of us together. This smooth, likeable, easy-to-get-along-with chap will be missed by all who knew him. Page eighty THIRTY FIVE SAMSON LINCOLN PRICE Mechanic Sam Brookline, Mass. Prep.—Brookline High School. Masque, (2, 3, 4) ; Stage Man¬ ager, (3) : General Manager, (4) : A. S. M. E., (3, 4) ; Band, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Tech Carnival Committee, (3). A man with a vocabulary adequate to express the thoughts of a Tech engineer on any subject. His ability to make noise was directed into useful channels when he served in the capacity of stage manager. Perhaps his extensive vocabulary was acquired in this profession. But he appears to be on the road to success, from stage manager to business manager in one season is quite an accom¬ plishment. CHARLES CHURCHILL PUEFER Charlie Springfield, Mass. Prep.—Springfield Tech. Soccer Manager, (4) ; Ass. Soccer Manager, (3); A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4). Charlie, a quiet but very attractive sort of a fellow, was generally seen about the campus driv¬ ing his gray Ford, the means of his frequent week¬ end trips to Springfield. An Architect by choice, it hurt his dignity to associate with the uncultured civils, as he called them. With all his arts courses, Charlie found time to manage the soccer team, play tennis and indulge frequently in a game of bridge. Best of luck in your future. Charlie. RAYMOND JOSEPH QUENNEVILLE Ray Cooney Friars Civil Holyoke, Mass. Prep.—Holyoke High School. Newman Club (Senior Direc¬ tor) : A. S. C. E. (Secretary and Presi¬ dent) : Sigma Chi; Tech Council, (4). Cooney is another one of the strong, silent men. that is, until somebody says something that he just doesn’t like: then the firewo rks start. In spite of his excellent scholastic record, Ray seem¬ ingly has found time to mix in the average man’s share of worldly pleasure. With the excellent start made here at Tech, he is bound to find his little niche in this busy and mixed up globe. Just be careful, Cooney, that’s all.

Bob is receiving a B.S. degree here at Tech, but really Wellesley should bestow some sort of a degree on him in consideration of the amount of time spent there. With all his traveling around. Krafty found time to get in on many of the activities on the Hill. Bob ' s congenial good humor and helping hand will be sorely missed. Beware of Wellesley entangle¬ ments and success is sure to come. EMERSON JOSEPH ROBINSON McCillecutty Mechanic Milford, Mass. Prep.—Milford High School. A. S. M. E., (3, 4). A member of the inseparable pair—Palm and Robinson. It has been rumored that Emerson in¬ tends to go into the undertaking business after graduation. Professor Coombs is right—an en¬ gineering education prepares a man for any pro¬ fession. Undertaking will be alright if Andrew opens a bowling alley next door, or perhaps down¬ stairs. These two really should be in one write-up —they’re that seldom seen apart. MURRAY ROBINSON Mike exfi Electric Washington. D. C. A. I. E. E., (4). “Mike” came to us two years ago from Wash¬ ington, D. C. He was a transfer and quickly showed his intellectual ability and training by climbing to the top of the class. “Mike ' s” inner conscience was often bothered by a professor’s high¬ ly technical explanation of a rather simple phen¬ omenon. Many times in class he would express his opinion with all the frankness even though they were adverse to the popular opinion. That “Mike” will be successful there is no doubt. Page eighty-two THIRTY F I E LOUIS ROVNO Nap ZX Chemist Fitchburg. Mass. Prep.—-Fitchburg High School. Skcp Cbymists, (3, 4) ; Junior Prom Committee. Nap’s” favorite hobby was showing the grate¬ ful instructors their mistakes. Always frank and honest, he had nerve enough to oppose the whole class when he thought he was right. And when he arose to his full five feet two, there were few to gainsay his hermetically-scaled logic. Those operatic renditions in the lab—be should have taken singing lessons! Louis is an authority on pancreatic juices, pantheism, pantcxhronometers. and pants. (This list is not exhaustive). Verily, a little Napoleon! WILLIAM JOHN SAMBORSKY Sam KHZ Civil East Douglas. Mass. Prep.—Douglas Memorial High Schcxjl. A. S. C. E., (3, 4). Sammy is a regular Salesman Sam”: any undertaking between East Douglas and Worcester that bore profit was swooped up by this genial and alert youth, and executed with the least of delay and the greatest of ease. He has the faculty of expressing in an interesting manner his many ambitions and desires: not to have heard his views on Soviet Russia and the Military and Naval Re¬ serves is missing a year of your life. Sam can tackle any assignment for his mental equipment functions as accurately as the speed king ' s racing car. VICTOR FRANK PETER SEPAVICH Vic Pete Electric Worcester, Xlass. Prep.—Commerce High School. Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) : A. I. E. E.. (3, 4) : Class Basket¬ ball, (1. 2). Victor Erank Peter Sepavich has successfully attained honors throughout his four years here at Tech. His favorite pastime was basketball, merely as an exercise. During his first year be assumed the role of a bashful boy where the girls were concerned. Soon, however, he became initiated into the thrills of dancing and the proximity of the other sex. and has developed so fast that now he is one of Worcester’s favorites.

Class Track, (1); Track, (1, 3, 4), W; Football, (4); Swimming, (1, 2) : A. S. M. E., (3, 4) ; Bac¬ calaureate Committee. This conscientious individual has unobtrusively forged his way into the good will and friendship of all those who have come into contact with him. Paul is one of the few “Tech” students who have been able to combine athletics and studies. This is attested to by his commendable performances on the track team and his favorable standing in the classroom. Feminine wiles have conquered at last and almost any Saturday evening Paul may be found with a fair companion. Steady, cheerful and always willing to lend a hand—a gentleman. EUGENE SHUMSKI Gene Mechanic Springfield, . Mass. Prep.—Technical High School. Soccer Varsity (1, 2, 3) ; Class Soccer, (1, 2) : Camera Club, (L 2). Here we have Gene, the curly haired lad from Springfield and Chicopee. Why Chicopee? Well, they say home is where the heart is; ’nuff said. He loved to draw, and could turn out amazing likenesses of anything from a full-rigged ship to a Boiler Test set-up, and his shaded M. E. Lab. sketches were the despair of his fellow slave Mechanics. Don’t argue with Gene about plumb¬ ing, he’s been there. Happy landings. Gene, you made your impression on Tech. JOSEPH RICHARD SIGDA Joe ATS.) Electric Holyoke, Mass. Prep.—Holyoke High School. Class Golf, (1, 2) ; Class Foot¬ ball, (2) : A. I. E. E., (3, 4) : Assistant Manager Swimming, (3) ; PEDDLER, (2, 3, 4) ; Sports Editor, (4) ; Masque: Junior Prom Committee; Rope Pull; Newman Club; Cap and Gown Com¬ mittee. “Anyone got a cigarette?” heralds Joe’s presence in the community. When he’s not sleeping or doing four E. E. reports at once, Joe can be found somewhere on the campus. Besides passing the Electric s course, Joe had time to manage the Freshman swimming team last year, and also to compete in every Interfraternity sport. His four years at Tech have been all too short, and we’ll be sorry to see him go, but anytime he drops in to see us, our door will be wide open. Page eighty-four THIRTY FIVE ALVARO ANTONIO SILVA Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Durfee High School. Fall River, Mass. A. I. E. E., (3, 4). Alvaro’s determination to rise is shown by the two years he spent working after graduating from High School in Fall River. He has a great en¬ thusiasm for doing tricks with a slide rule and for solving all sorts of “impossible” mathematical problems. His laboratory partners will remember his ready sense of humor and his willing coopera¬ tion in “connectin’ it up.” We hope his life ambition to become an Electrical Engineer will be met with success. IRVING SKEIST Maestro Chemist Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Band, (1, 2); Boyntonians, (1, 2, 3, 4) : Tech News, (1, 2). “Why did I take this course?”—accompanying a tinkle and crash of glassware puts us in the Org. Lab. on any confused afternoon. Our subject; The one and only Maestro, the Master of the Bull Fiddle, logician supreme, patron of the arts, and the only chemist who ever trod the Milky Way. His treatment of theory was nearly perfect and the result was a high scholastic ranking. A proper proportioning of each twenty-four hours, an appli¬ cation of our Freshman theory gave such results. STANLEY JOSEPH SLECZKOWSKI Stan Civil Saxonville, Mass. Prep.—Framingham High School. Rope Pufl, (1, 2) ; Class Track, (1, 2); Varsity Track, (1). For four years “Stan” or “Slezzy,” has been commuting from Framingham in the hope of one day getting his degree in Architecture. Stan is the lad wbo turned the Civil drafting room into an art gallery and lecture notes into an art student’s sketch book. Although little known outside of the classroom, Stan was known for his happy dis¬ position, and his alert questioning and clever pencil should be a great help to him in the future. Page eighty-five THE PEDDLER DONALD HALL SLEEPER V, Don SAE Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—South High School. Band, (1): Frosh Swimming; Swimming, (2, 3) ; Class Golf, (1, 2) ; Golf, (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain, (4) : Rope Pull, (1): Class Tennis, (1). Don has two claims to fame. Both are rare in an Electrical Engineering student. One is his golf—four years of stellar performances and the captaincy of the team—and the other is his stead¬ fastness to the “one and only” —four years and more. Eor a while he also dabbled in the pool. We commend Don on his undergraduate career and give him our best wishes for his future. CHARLES SUMNER SMITH Charlie Skull i-2K Mechanic Willimantic, Conn. Prep.—Windham High School. Basketball, ( 3, 4) ; Rope Pull, (1, 2); Class Football, (1, 2); A. S. M. E., (3, 4) : Vice-President, (4) : Band, (1, 2) ; Soph Hop Com¬ mittee; Junior Prom Committee; Junior Marshall; Tech News, (2, 3, 4) ; News Editor, (4) ; Senior Prom Committee. Charlie has lived Tech life to the fullest, and during his time here has become noted for several things. One gathers from the nicknames, Charlie, C. S., Toots, Good Time Charlie, Hooper, and Bonbon, that versatility is present. When bored or in distress he “whips out a Collier’s. He is gifted with spells of profound absent mindedness which may, some day. win him a position as a professor, perhaps of Strength of Materials. Re¬ gardless of what Charlie becomes to the outside world, to us he will be one of the pleasant mem¬ ories of Worcester Tech. MALCOLM KENT SMITH M. K. Chemist Worcester, Mass. Prep.— Worcester North High School. Skep. Chymists, (2,3, 4); Vice-President, (3), Presi¬ dent, (4) ; Tech Council, (3, 4) ; Class Tennis, (2). “M. K.” is another of our brainy senior chem¬ ists, but he manages to find time to indulge in a few relaxations. He is an expert at billiards, and tennis, and a stamp collector supreme! His four years here at Tech were marked by constant interest in the Skep. Chymists. which resulted in his being elected President of the Club for this term. The most sincere compliment that we can pay him is —a true friend of those who know him best. Page eighty-six THIRTY FIVE DAVID VINCENT SMYTH Pop-eye 2AE Mechanic Plainville, Conn. Prep.—Plainville High School. Manager Track, (4) ; Class Soccer, (2) . “Smith, C. S., Smith, K. C., Smith, M. K., Smyth,--’’ read Coombsie in Freshman lecture. “Ah,” we said to ourselves, “there is an individ¬ ual”; and so he proved to be. Dave has showed himself to be a swell fellow and a willing worker. Four years of activity, taking an active part in all intra-mural sports, and good student, he has won our praise along with his sheepskin. His managership of Track this spring is an added bit of preparation for his future. ERIC WILLIAM SODERBERG Eric Bill Kira 4 z:k Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—North High School. Class Soccer. ( 1) : Manager Swimming, (4) ; A. S. M. E., (3, 4) ; Treasurer, (4) ; Masque, (4) ; Invita¬ tions Committee. Eric is one of North High’s worthy contribu tions to Tech. His cheerful disposition is enough to make him an asset to the class. However, his association with the Masque, A. S. M. E., and swimming team prove diversified talents. Speaking of talents, Eric seems to have that certain something that pleases the fair sex,—just look around at any dance on the Hill. Maybe it’s the blond curly hair that gets them. Don’t let them get you too soon, Kira. LOUIS DAVID SOLOWAY Lou Chemist Worcester, Mass. Prep.—North High School. Skep Chymists. (2, 3, 4). Lou has probably had more business experience than any of the chemists. However, business did not prevent his passing the “Kaiser’s” organic course. Always a source of interesting information and stories, Lou was constantly the center of “Bull sessions.” Always friendly and willing to coop¬ erate. he should find no trouble in getting on. Much success to you, Lou. Page eighty-seven THE P E D D L E R RAYMOND FARWELL STARRETT Ray J rA Skull Mechanic Athol, Mass. Prep.—Athol High School. Baseball, (1, 2, 3, 4), W; Captain, (4); Class Football, (1, 2); Junior Marshall; A. S. M. E., (3, 4) ; Editor Tech Bible, (3); Class Secretary, (2); Permanent Class Secretary. We have Athol to thank for a fine baseball player and student, our only regret being that he lacked a twin brother who could pitch. Ray has never demanded attention from his classmates, but somehow they always knew he was right there in times of need. Reports and long assignments have kept him busy nights, but he always made his eight o’clocks until the last semest er. With the start you have, Ray, we know you will be heard from in this world. WILLIAM RAYMOND STEUR Bill Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—South High School. Camera Club, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Tech Handbook, (4); Tech News, (1, 2) ; Aero Club, (2, 3, 4) ; Swimming, (3). Another case proving that it is possible to carry a large burden of outside work and still have one’s name on the honor roll. Bill possesses an ability to teach. We all learned this in the course in Hydraulics which we took under Allen, or was it under Steur. Right now, as Professor Gaffert’s right hand man, the number of B.t.u. ' s in a pound of coal is Bill’s chief concern but we can expect bigger things. JOSEPH SUKASKAS Sooky ATP Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.-—High School of Commerce. Class Football, (1): Class Soccer, (2) ; Class Track, (1, 2) ; Class Basketball, (1. 2) ; Basketball, (2, 3, 4), Captain, (4) ; A. L E. E., (4) ; Class Gift Committee. “Sooky!” Who on the Hill doesn’t know “Sooky”. He is one of our most popular fellows, and rightfully so. He has graced our basketball court for the past three years, his last year as the team’s inspiring captain and leader. Notwithstand¬ ing his success in athletics, he is every bit as successful in his studies, for he has won many scholarships. He is one person who can get more out of fifteen minutes of studying than the average person can absorb in three hours. His “Well, heck, that’s easy” about a difficult problem is typi¬ cal of him. Athlete, leader, true friend, we are all proud to have known him. Success, Joe! Page eighty-eight THIRTY FIVE PHILLIP JOSEPH SULLIVAN Sully i;AE Mechanic Springfield, Mass. Prep.—Technical High School. Chairman Junior Prom Comm.; Newman Club, (1, 2, 3, 4); Track, (1, 2) ; A. S. M. E.; Rope Pull, (1, 2): Paddle Rush, (1, 2); Senior Prom Committee. Phil, the tall, handsome lad from Springfield is known to one and all. This chap had plenty of stuff on the ball where the opposite sex was concerned. It might be added that he possessed the same power over his studies. Like the rest of us, the femmes” were probably attracted by this lad ' s personality, which is a perfect combina¬ tion of gayety and sobriety. We predict for Phil a life like his four years at Tech—never a dull moment. ROY OLOF SWENSON Bing Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep.—North High School. Class Football, (1, 2); Class Basketball, (1, 2); Football, (1, 2, 3, 4), W; Basketball Seconds, (1, 2). Bing Swenson is the original mud-horse of Pete’s football team. He is small in stature, but behind a huge 14” hid 160 pounds of dynamite, and when he smacked the line, he wasn’t to be denied. This accounts for the fact that he was the most consistent ground gainer on the team, and for the fact that he was picked for the All New England Swedish eleven for the ' 34 season. When not on the gridiron, Bing has a cheerie Hi” for all in sight except when he is stuck somewhere in one of Angy’s crates, but he has learned his lesson, so we’ll say So long, Roy, and best of luck.” GORDON SEDGWICK SWIFT Speed ex Mechanic Northampton, Mass. Prep.—North¬ ampton High School. Orchestra, (1,2, 3. 4) ; Band, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Glee Club, (2, 3, 4) : Masque, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Treas¬ urer, (3) ; Freshman Ball Committee; Soph. Hop Committee: Junior Prom Committee: Vice-President Musical Asso¬ ciation. From Northampton, a region surrounded by many colleges for women, hails Gordon Swift and along with him. his popular nickname— Speed.” In connection with the nickname, we who know him have concluded that the name is not due to his ability on the cinder path, but rather to his many acquaintances with the members of the fair sex. True! Gordon does look aristocratic in a tux” and is often seen in one. but let it be understood that he did do some studying. Vage eig jfy-fiitie THE PEDDLER JOHN JAMES TASILLO Jimmu 2:ae Mechanic Hartford, Conn. Prep.—Weaver High School. Manager Baseball, (4) ; S. C. A. Cabinet, (3, 4), Treasurer, (4); Cheer Leader, (3, 4) ; Tech Council, (3) ; Chairman Jacket Committee: Junior Marshall; Aero Club; Chairman Class Day Committee. Jimmie is one of the small men in the class, but in stature only. He came up from the perky” and beautiful city of Hartford four years ago and has spent those years here advantageously and eventfully; beneficial to himself and valuable to his associates. Jimmy is a snappy dresser and we can thank his taste for clothes for the best looking class jackets in years. If you want to know the latest style, hunt up Jimmy and look him over. He topped off his career by managing the baseball team,—a man’s job. EDWARD TAVIDIAN Eddy Electric Worcester , Mass. Prep.—North High School. Cosmopolitan Club, (2). A. I. E. E., (4). Eddy” lives so near Tech that he has been practically saturated with a technical training be¬ fore he even decided to enter its portals. And due to the fact that the magnetic field was rather strong and his permeability very high, his choice was the electrical course. It is a well known fact that he, unaided and fearless, sneaked one over” on Maxie in Abstracts by presenting his talk sans the re¬ quired coat. Ambitious and good-natured, you will succeed, Ed.” ROBERT BROAD TAYLOR Bob ex M echanic Worcester, Mass. Prep. —■ Worcester North High School. Freshman Ball Committee, (1) ; Sophomore Hop Com¬ mittee, (2) ; Rifle Club (3, 4) ; Vice- President Rifle Club, (4) ; Manager Rifle Club, (3) ; Tech Carnival Committee, (1, 2, 3): Boat Club, (2, 3); Vice- President Boat Club, (3) ; A. S. M, E., (3_, 4). Bob” is one of the comparatively few in our class who has been able to mix business and pleasure and still end up as a four year man. Watertown, most of all has been the favorite objective of our Bob. Furthermore, aside from his feminine obli¬ gations, Bob has found time to be very active in several class activities and campus clubs, and, if we can judge by his leadership in these fields, he should be very successful after graduation. Page ninety THIRTY FIVE JOHN EDWARD THOLE Jack ATi2 Skull Mechanic Needham, Mass. Prep.—Troy High School. Football, (3), W; C lass Soccer, (1, 2) ; Masque, (2, 3, 4) ; Business Manager, (3) ; President, (4) ; Tech News, (2): PEDDLER, (2, 3, 4); Associate Editor, (4) ; Junior Marshall; Class Secretary, (4) ; Assistant Manager Baseball. (3). Jack has in the last two years outgrown a rather reticent nature and has assumed his place in the sun. In his Junior year. Jack came into his own, and in rapid succession he won acclaim as a fullback and as a business man, and in the spring he was tapped for Skull. To know Jack well and to have him for a friend was a privilege, for in him one finds all the requisites of a true man and one of real worth. EVERETT LESLIE VAUGHN Ev Electric Worcester, Mass. Prep.—High School of Commerce. A. I. E. E., (3, 4). “Ev” rode up to Worcester Tech from the High School of Co mmerce in the fall of 1931. During his four years at Tech, he has made a great many friends with his cheery and pleasant manner. His years of study with the Electrics here at Tech have failed to daunt his capabilities but rather have shown that his chosen field is well selected. A congenial disposition together with the ability to pull through indicate a successful future for him. DOUGLAS LEIGHTON WATKINS Doug AXA Electric Bellows Ealls, Vt. Prep. Aero Club, (1) ; Soccer Manager Elect, (4) ; Inter¬ fraternity Ball Committee, (3, 4) ; Interfraternity Council. (3, 4), Treas¬ urer. (4) : A. I. E. E. Doug came to us from the wilds of Vermont. To the casual observer he appears rather quiet and studious: but his friends know well that sense of subtle humor which, unfortunately, is directed too often toward the art o f punning. We always thought that Doug should have been an artist in¬ stead of an electrical engineer. However, he seems to combine the two interests very satisfactorily. Of course, there are other interests, among which is a certain young lady who, he maintains, is in¬ deed a fine dancer. Page ninety-one THE PEDDLER HARVEY WILLIAM WHITE Civil Worcester. Mass. Prep.—Classical High School. Paddle Rush, (1, 2); Rope Pull, (1, 2) : A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4). Harvey ' s turning point at the Institute was the surveying course; odds were against him but he won: in fact he has been winning himself an enviable reputation ever since. If a fellow ever needs a pal, true and true, let him be a friend of Harvey; he has all the desirable qualities including unselfishness, frankness and good-naturedness. Many a noon hour was spent in the Senior Drafting room by White in discussing current events in his happy-go-lucky and carefree manner. PLUMMER WILEY Plum Skull ex TBH Mechanic West Hartford, Conn. Prep.—Wm. Hall High School. Band, (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Freshman Swimming: Rifle Team, (1,2, 3, 4); Rifle Club, (1, 2, 3, 4); Vice- President, (3) : Treasurer, (4) ; Swim¬ ming, (1, 2, 3, 4): Captain, (4); Glee Club, (2, 3, 4) : President, (4) : Camera Club, (1, 2): Rope Pull, (1, 2) ; Paddle Rush, (1, 2) ; Vice-President A. A., (3) ; Tech Council, (3, 4) ; Junior Marshal, (3); Interfraternity Council, (3, 4) : A. S. M. E., (4) ; Senior Prom Committee Chairman. A man that makes “Tau Bete” and the “Skull” is a rare enough occurrence, but the man with as many additional activities as “Plum” is positively unique. A crowning compliment would be to say that he was a real life Romeo, but he isn’t. Once he was caught hiding a still warm pipe in his desk. He looked ill. He is also addicted to ' cycles. There you have him with all his virtues and shortcomings faithfully recorded. HENRY EDWARD WILLIAMS Fink Civil Worcester, Mass. Prep.—Worcester Classical High. Rope Pull, (1, 2) ; Paddle Rush, (1, 2) ; A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4). Henry, or Fink, as the drafting room knows him, hails from North Brookfield. He is known in informed circles as the demon note-taker. Late¬ ly, like many of us, Fink has been wondering what the future holds in store, but after the Major’s class in Abstracts, it appears that public speaking, as a profession, should be considered. We also learn from the drafting room echoes, that Henry throws a mean party when in the proper company. Page ninety-two THIRTY FIVE WILLIAM McINROY WILSON Wee Willie ex Civil Fitchburg, Mass. Prep.—Fitchburg Fiigh School. Class Soccer, (1, 2); Soccer, (2, 3, 4) : Paddle Rush, (1, 2) ; A. S. C. E., (2, 3, 4). From Fitchburg comes this member of the Clan Wilson, Wee Willie. In this league of nations of the Civil drafting room, he waved the plaid long and loud. Eight o’clock in the Senior Civil dig¬ gings always saw Willie crooning the latest ballad and calling in no uncertain terms for someone, anyone, to check those answers. But when all is said and done, it must be admit ted that this lad had the brains and the ability to work day after day, and nobody deserved more the honor marks he has received. RUSSELL HOUGHTON WOOD Russ ex Mechanic Worcester, Mass. Prep. — Worester North High School. Glee Club; Tech News, fl, 2) ; Tech Bible, Editor, (4) ; A. S. M. E., (2, 3, 4). “Russ” is a son of Worcester and a product of the Worcester schools. Even tho’ he traveled back and forth to Tech, Russ attained a high scholastic standing and distinguished himself as a “news-hound” and a “yodeler.” He was always ready with a cheerful “good-morning” to raise the spirits of his classmates. Russ possesses the quali¬ ties desired by every young engineer and should travel far after graduation. WILLIAM EUGENE WYMAN Bill I XK Mechanic Annisquam. Mass. Prep.—Winthrop High School. Football Manager, (4) ; Tech Council, (3, 4); Masque, (2, 3, 4); Tech Carnival, (2, 3). We have often heard the statement that the best things come in small packages, which is certainly true in the case of Bill. His ability to tackle large jobs is shown by his job as manager of the football team, and his smile has enabled him to make many friends among both sexes while here at Tech. Although he has been very busy with his own work, he has still found time to be a loyal supporter of all Tech functions, and, if it is true that what one gets out is only a measure of what one puts in. Bill has surely received his share. Page ninety-three in iimnnam KENNETH LAWRENCE MORAN A TO Died December 28, 1934. That two so young and fair THIRTY FIVE THE PHANTOM LIST Philip H.

Of course, we had to contend with the sophomores and inexperience was the only thing that prevented us from putti ng them in their places. One of the most effective organizations in our activities was the “Di-Apper Fraternity,” combine of a few class leaders who were the ideal instigators of many of the class activities. Class representatives were active in every varsity sport and extracurricular activity on the Hill. When the members of ’36 became sophomores, the enrollment had dimin¬ ished to one hundred and thirty-seven. Of this group sixty-nine were on the honor lists showing we were of real Tech caliber. The burden of initiating the freshmen was the first duty which was given to the class. Ability was not lacking, and although it was hard to imagine any class so green, the freshmen received able instruction and strict discipline. Naturally the class won in practically all of the interclass competition, as well as giving many exceptionally good men to all the activities of the Institute. Twenty from the class received the award of a Tech insignia for the work done in their respective sports, and the first member of the class to be elected captain of a Tech team received that honor in track. One of the most important functions was the Soph Hop and a very able committee was in charge. This was one of the leading social events of the year to ’36 and it was worthy of its reputation. This social function was more colorful due to the appear¬ ance of the men in new class jackets. Summer came and now the members of ’36 were recognized as juniors. As juniors the class registered one hundred and forty-four. However, there were only ninety-five of those who met for the first time two years previously still registered in the class. As soon as activity started the class was quite conspicuous. Inciting the freshmen, giving advice, and help, and even furnishing supplies in s ome cases was the work which the members of the class took upon their shoulders; much to the dismay of the sophomores and the enjoyment of the freshmen. As the year progressed the class became more serious-minded as suited its new-found dignity. By this time this class of ’36 was furnishing many leaders in campus activity and many more were being molded to assume those responsibilities next year. This, how¬ ever, did not prevent ’36 from earning a place on the honor lists. The “Half-Way-Through” Banquet which the class sponsored was undoubtedly supreme in every respect. The next joyous occasion was the Prom. Of course there was much discussion, both oral and written, but when the event occurred everyone was in the best of humor. There was good reason since the event was ‘‘super-ultra-plus.” The class of ’36 has scored another triumph.

While this orientation period was being held last spring, the Institute shops and laboratories were occupied by undergraduates taking shop practice. The boys were able to try their hands at the testing, mapping, or machining that was in progress. Carefully planned scholastic aptitude tests were given under the able direction of a psychologist. Modern mass- production plants and large-scale engineering projects were visited. Tech¬ nical experts explained all the features which were observed. In the evenings discussions were held on the day’s pursuits. The purpose of the Techniquest is not to recruit students for the Institute but rather to provide, at a very low cost, an opportunity for High School boys to orient themselves in this busy and muddled world; to enable them to decide whether an engineering career is attractive to them: and, most important, to discover if they are suited for an engineering education. It is a noble undertaking and a valuable experience, and its continued success is to be ardently desired. Page one hundred twelve ook «III� PEDDLER Nineteen Thirty-Five V.

The line was heavy, and the backfield a little lighter than usual but much faster. The squad was fairly large and the Freshman prospects looked good, Jackie Germaine and General Grant being the brightest stars on the new horizon. A number of veterans in¬ cluding A1 Cantor, Marsh Dann, Floyd Hibbard, Capt. Tom McNulty, Roy Swenson, Bill Miseveth, Charley Sliva, and Red Johnson were in uniform to help make Pete Bigler hopeful. The opening game on October 6 found Alumni Field a patchwork of mud. As the game time approached. Tech’s spirits rose as an opening win . . , for the first time in years seemed in hand. Tech lost. The poor condition of the field and a num¬ ber of expert passes by the Guardsmen from New London combined to place the visitors at the head end of a 13-0 score. The second encounter on the card found Tech on the tail end of a more decisive score. Trinity, with a variety of running plays and passes com¬ pletely baffled the home team and pulled the wool over their eyes with a 34-0 score. Only once did Tech threaten the visitors. At the start of the second half, Carlson, halfback, attempted to pass. It was intercepted, however, and Trinity marched down the field for another tally. In its third game and first out-of-town competition Tech took matters in its own hands and took over the favored Norwich team with a touchdown early in the last quarter. The home team lads found their hands full of trouble while they fought and battled to keep the visitors in check. Wyman, Manager Page one hundred eighteen THIRTY FIVE A second score by Tech was prevented only by the gun. Captain McNulty, after cracking the line for a series of gains, took the leather on a spinner and galloped sixty yards to the Horse¬ men’s four-yard marker. In the final period Tech completed 10 first downs with the aid of a well organized passing attack. Yardage gained by overland drives gave Tech 195 with only 39 for the home team. Mass. State sent a surprised Tech team home with a 20-0 trimming in their pockets. Con¬ fident of a win over the supposedly weak State team, the Engineers were baffled when they met an aerial attack, which, although not too good, led to scores. A 44-0 shellacking was given the Tech gridsters when they traveled to Kingston to meet Rhode Island State in the fifth encounter of the schedule. The game started off as a real battle, with Tech’s representatives fighting on even terms for nearly the first half. Then they cracked and it was Rhodie’s day. Three of the scores were the result of unusual interceptions. On one instance, a Tech pass was blocked, but before the ball touched the ground a Rhodie player snared it and sprinted for the line.

Page one hundred nineteen THE PEDDLER Although the season as a whole was disastrous, Tech came through to win its objective game, taking the Rensselaer outfit into camp to the tune of 32-6. R. P. I.’s only score, made midway in the first quarter put the needed spark of quality into the Tech team. It was the final game for the Seniors, and they were in a winning frame of mind. The Troy outfit had been slightly favored to win, but their chances were quickly settled. The needed incentive to win and the whole hearted school spirit behind the team, —and the presence for the first time at a Tech game of the Tech mascot, all combined to make it a game worth seeing. There was a wonderful coordination between the line and the backs, and the Troy team couldn’t hold them. Even after wrenching his knee Captain Tom insisted in getting back into the game. Germaine’s spirit rode with him, and Jack romped all over the field, once for a 93 yard sprint for a touchdown. Catching a punt on his own eight, Jackie started a parade down the field behind the whole team, and didn’t stop until he had crossed the Trojan’s line. That was the start, and it didn’t end until the final gun went off, bringing the season to a close and closing—a success. Page one hundred twenty THIRTY FIVE PERSONNEL Ivan E. Bigler. Coach Joseph A. Sukaskas. Captain William E. McKay. Manager Svenson Dann Smith Hendrickson Munson Phelps Bottcher Grublevskas Jenkins ON THE COURT ITH the schedule of fifteen games and a squad composed to a great extent of veterans, all close to six feet, it looked like Tech’s year at the beginning of the season. Only the breaks and a few off nights kept the team from coming through as a new set of champs. With Pete Bigler coaching and a group composed of Captain Joe Sukaskas, Norm Svenson, Heinie Hendrickson, Irv Bottcher, Marsh Dann, Vinny Grublevskas, Charley Smith, Jim Phelps, Dick Munson and Frankie Jenkins, hopes were high. Jenkins, who was an outstanding prep school star gave up the varsity squad for a time, returning to the floor again late in the season, FITCHBURG WINS. Tech went into its opener with a team that was expected to give a good battle but not one as good as it did. The visitors reached into the atmosphere to the same extent that the Tech team did and succeeded in dropping in a few more than the Biglermen. The final tally found Fitchburg lead¬ ing 49-23. TECH COMES TO THE FRONT. Slightly peeved over dropping the first game three nights previous the Tech quintet traveled down to New London on December 18 to bring the average back to the .500 mark and also to avenge the football team for its loss to the United States Coast Guard Academy in the fall. It wasn ' t much of a beating but Tech did beat them 39-31 and the season was on. TRINITY WINS. After a long lay-off due to the Merry Christmas recess Tech mixed it up on the floor of the Alumni Gymnasium with the Connecticut outfit on Jan. 12. The Hartford team, with three losses out of 26 starts, never let the game out of their hands, with the result that when the gun went off at the end of the match the scoreboards showed Tech trail¬ ing at the end of a 39-14 score. RHODIE TAKES GAME. The Rams kept up their point-a-minute repu¬ tation when the Tech quintet visited them at Kingston. It was a conven¬ tional game for the first half with Tech only a few points behind at the half way mark. Tech continually took the ball from the State backboard Sukaskas, Captain fage one hundred twenty-one THE PEDDLER but lost many opportunities for scoring by virtue of inaccurate shooting. The Rhodies got going during the second session and made the game too hot for the engineers to keep up witfi. The final tally was 48-22. The date January 16. TECH BEATS PRATT. On the 19th, the team broke back into the win column at the expense of a rather lax and tired Pratt Institute array in a slow and sloppy game by a score of 30-26. SNOWBOUND. The Tech hoopsters traveled to Durham to oppose an inferior New Hampshire State quintet on January 26. However, after having been stuck in the snow for two hours, nearly freezing to death, they were scarcely in condition to play good ball. They gave a credit¬ able performance for the first half, holding the Wildcats even, but in the second half they began to tire, taking it on the chin to the tune of 39-21. REVENGE. After having bowed to Arnold in every kind of contest for the past two years, the Tech boys roused themselves and smote down a smooth passing array in one of the best games of the season, 44-30. It must be said that the score does not indicate the closeness of the game. MAIN SOUTH AGAIN. On February 9, Clark came to Alumni Gym full of hope and confidence of breaking the Tech jinx. The Engineers seemed to toy, rather than play with them, keeping even or just ahead of the Scarlet, ending the game with the score standing Worcester Tech 29, Clark 26. B. U. IN STRIDE. Fully aware of the dangers that lurked in its path the team headed for Boston on the 14th. Determined to continue their string of victories the boys set up a hot pace, jumped into a huge lead before the Beantowners knew what it was all about, and then maintained it for the remainder of the game, ending on the long end, 39-23. GIANT KILLERS. The Tufts game on the following Saturday was a game never to be forgotten by all who saw it. A powerful Medford array started to shatter any defense that Tech might have had, and hardly had the referee’s whistle started the game than the score read Tufts 12, Tech 2. Then came the sad mistake. The Tufts mentor, believing the game to be on ice, took his first string men out. The rest is history. Tech pulled up slowly until at the half they were but two points behind. In the second section. Tech got so hot they smoked, and ran the Tufts first stringers off their feet, leaving them in the dust of a 44-29 defeat. PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL. It’s an old story of how a mighty team gets too mighty for its own good and goes down in ignominious defeat. Thus did Tech go down in its return engagement with Clark. True, it was by but two points, but it started the streak. In turn, a weak Mass. Page one hundred twenty-two FIVE THIRTY State troupe, Northeastern, Connecticut State, and a powerful quintet of Friars from Providence College took extreme delight in treading on the neck of our fallen defender. Thus the season ended without a chance for re¬ demption, leaving us with seven men returning, and a .400 percent season.

Manager Sandquist Howes DesRochers Hibbard Noreika Harvey Moossa Casey Cantor Germaine Miner ON THE DIAMOND T ECH’S 1934 baseball team went through a rather dismal season, five defeats and one win being recorded. The Engineers managed to defeat Clark in the first game of the annual series, but dropped the second. Defeats were also suffered at the hands of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, North¬ eastern and Mass. State. The season’s final with Trinity was rained out. New Hampshire State journeyed to Worcester to pry the lid off the season at Alumni Field on April 21. The two teams appeared evenly matched, but the Wildcats took advantage of the breaks to win, 3 to 0. The second inning proved to be Tech’s undoing when New Hampshire sent two runs across the plate. In the fourth. Tech tallied one run when Moossa, Tech freshman second sacker, walked and scored on an error after being advanced The rally ended on the next play with two men Misplays paved the way for another loss when Rhode Island provided the opposition. This game was the most thrilling of the season and it was not until the final inning that Tech dropped be¬ hind. The final count was 4-3. The following Saturday the Engineers made their first start away from home and dropped a 10 to 3 decision to Mass. State at Amherst. Led by Lou Bush, the Staters garnered nine hits off Captain Driscoll, while Tech could touch Danny Balavich for only four. Hopelessly behind as they went into the eighth. Tech started a rally which netted two runs, and in the ninth managed to tally another, but these were made in vain. A few days later the previously quiet bats of the Engineers came to life and pounded out nine hits, which, coupled with twelve Clark misplays, accounted for eleven runs to give Tech an 11-2 victory over their traditional rivals from Main South. The two teams played before an enthusiastic group of Tech rooters at Alumni Field. Both teams played ragged ball for the first three frames but after the third Tech settled down and held the South Worcester boys scoreless. The playing of Andy Sandquist featured the game. He allowed but six hits and gathered a homer and a single for himself. The following Saturday, Tech was taken into camp by a strong North¬ eastern outfit, 16-5. Twenty-one hits were made, and Tech got ten of them. The huskies, however, bunched their eleven hits which included two by Bottcher and Koziol. stranded on the paths. Tasillo, Manager Page one hundred twenty-four THIRTY FIVE circuit blows and two triples. Seven of their runs came in the seventh inning. Bottcher and Hibbard featured for Tech at bat, the former smash¬ ing out a homer and the latter a triple. The next contest was the second game with Clark. This game proved to be anything but a repetition of the first, however, and with Tech held to three hits by Captain Cleon Gallagher, the Main Southers won 5 to 2. Tech took the lead in the first inning on Bottcher’s single and DesRochers’ double but this lead was short lived, Clark tally¬ ing four times in the third inning. The Main Southers played errorless ball in this game in con¬ trast to the twelve errors made by them in the first game. This game proved to be the last, as the game with Trinity was rained out.

With Raymond Granger leading his nearest opponent by 300 yards, the harriers got off to a good start by defeating Tufts on October 13, by the score of 22 to 23. The next meet, the Engineers traveled to New London to engage with the runners of the United States Coast Guard Academy. Handicapped by a short course. Tech lost by a single point, 27 to 28. Ted McKinley led the way for the Tech team, but he was pre¬ ceded by two Guardsmen. The following Saturday the Tech dalers were defeated by Mass. State, 18 to 37. Three Staters tied for first place and another took fourth place before Moran, Bergstrom and Mc¬ Kinley crossed the line together for Tech. The score mounted even higher against the Engineers the next week when they opposed R. I. State at Kingston. Six of the Ram team trotted in first to give the Rhode Island boys a perfect score of 15 to 47. The Tech harriers ended the season in a blaze of glory when they did their bit toward making the week end of November 11 a perfect one on the athletic field for Tech teams, defeating a good Rensselaer team, 20 to 26, on the home course. Coach Johnstone will lose four of his main¬ stays through graduation,—Captain A1 Moran, Ray Granger, Carl Bergstrom, and Ted Mc¬ Kinley. Moran, Captain Harrington, Manager Page one hundred twenty-seven THE PEDDLER ON THE BOARDS The Winter Track season finished up Doc Carpenter’s proverbial .500, winning one dual meet, dropping dne, and finishing second in the B. A. Relays. The first meet was the B. A. A. Games in Boston. Running without Mauriello, the Tech Relay ists, composed of Fuller, Ash well, Harvey and Hatch, came through in second place, sandwiched between Maine and Mass. State, with Eddie Hatch pulling up five yards behind the Maine anchor man. On February 23, the indoor team went to Providence to vie with the Brown Bears. Again the team was handicapped, this time by the loss of Ed Hatch who was laid up with a sprained ankle. Brown gathered five of the eight first places, making a clean sweep in both the mile and the high jump, to place their total at 49 against Tech’s 23. The team wound up the season with a pleas¬ ing victory over Mass. State in their cage at Amherst on March 2. This week the scoring process was reversed, and Tech scored six firsts against two for State. In scoring this 38-34 victory. Tech toppled two standards, tied one, and State set up another. The performers were Ash- well in the 600, Hatch in the 300, and Stepat of State in the 1000. Mauriello, Harvey, Hatch, Smyth, Manager Ashwell, Fuller, Mencow Smyth, Manager Page one hundred twenty-eight THIRTY FIVE 1934 SEASON C oach Johnstone’s latest aggregation of track men demonstrated sur¬ prising power in its 97 2 3 - 37 1 3 victory over Massachusetts State at Alumni Field. April 28, 1934. His athletes captured eleven of the fifteen first places. Tech’s scoring spree was sustained throughout the meet: the pole vault was the only event in which State took more than one place. High scorer for the meet was Kalista with fourteen points. Rhode Island State carried away a 90 1 3- 44 2 3 victory over Tech at Alumni Field on May 5, 1934. Somewhat compensating for the trouncing were the two new college records which McGrath and Kalista set. McGrath did the 120-yard high hurdles in 16 seconds fiat, taking one-fifth of a second off a thirty-five year record. Kalista made his record in the hammer throw. He scored ten points, sharing high scoring honors with two Rhode Island State men. On May 12, 1934 the Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association Track Meet was held at Alumni Field with ten colleges competing. Rhode Island State was first with 45 3 4 points. Colby was second and Tufts third. Tech was greatly handicapped by the rule which prevented freshmen from competing, and consequently was tenth. The only record broken was by Dreyer of Rhode Island State who heaved the hammer 166 feet, 7 inches. Kalista, Tech’s sole entry in the New England Championships at Spring- field on May 19 and 20, did not succeed in qualifying. McGrath, Captain Page one hundred twenty-nine THE PEDDLER Borden Brand Clark Erickson PERSONNEL Edwin Higginbottom, Coach Willy M. Rebel, Captain Charles C. I Uffer, Manager Gurnham Holt Leech McKay Mudgett Osborne Howe Fowler Sherwin WITH THE BOOTERS C oach Ed Higginbottom again lived up to his standard and turned out another fine team, and has developed one that will stand him in good stead for next year. Only Captain Willy Hebei and Goalie Bill McKay will be lost by graduation, and seven of the nine upperclass regulars including Cap¬ tain-elect Jack Brand are honor men. Recapitulation shows that the team exceeded the probability curve and E)oc Carpenter s expectations by winning three, tying one, and los¬ ing two games. State 2 to 0. The opening game showed the possibilities of the team when it whitewashed Mass. State on October 6 while playing in a sea of mud. The team passed and fought well and showed that it had plenty of spirit and that it was in good con¬ dition. Borden scored twice. Wesleyan 0 to 2. The play of the second game was a repetition of the first, with both teams playing brilliantly but scorelessly for the first three periods. What advantage there was belonged to Tech until near the end of the final quarter when Wesleyan managed to squeeze through a counter. Tech immediately broke into a wide open game, staking all on a chance to tie up the score. Wes¬ leyan was quick to take advantage of this move and clinched the game by putting in a quick thrust during the remaining seconds. Connecticut State 3 to 0. Worcester traveled to Storrs on October 20 to play its annual breather with the Nutmeggers and came home with an easy victory as expected. Tech put the game on ice in the first period with scores by Mudgett and Borden, and Mudgett added the final touch in the last canto after the team had threatened the Connecticut goal on numerous occa¬ sions. Brown 1 to 2. On October 27, Tech journeyed to Providence to take on the powerful Bruin eleven. Brown was unquestionably the season’s toughest opponent, being fortified and well protected by its All-American goalie. The Rhode Islanders were as yet undefeated, and had battled Yale to a tie. Brown took the lead in the first period and held it against numerous assaults until Bill Clark evened things up in the third quarter, and the score remained deadlocked throughout the fourth quarter. Brown got off to a flying start in the overtime period and scored in the second minute of play, after which they effectively guarded their own goal. Deadlocked. The following Saturday, Tech went on the road to meet Tufts at Medford. The team was weakened by the loss of several regulars Puffer, Manager Page one hundred thirty THIRTY FIVE but battled gamely to a 1 to 1 tie in a loosely played game with neither team being able to un¬ knot the count in a ten minute overtime. Rivals Routed. On November 10, the team was determined to avenge all the dastardly deeds which Clark students had perpetrated, and also to break its run of bad luck. Thirty seconds after the opening whistle the score stood 1 to 0 in favor of Tech. From then on it was the lion toying with the mouse, and after the booting was finished. Tech was proudly holding a 4 to 0 victory. The team looks forward to an even better year, and with good reason, for it has more than eleven experienced men returning with all positions but that of goalie filled.

The Staters captured all but one first place: Harry Gray winning the 40 with Captain Wiley a close second. TRINITY SWAMPS TECH. The Tech mermen went down for the sec¬ ond time when they went to Hartford to oppose the fast Blue and Gold natators, paced by Albert Hall who set new pool records in the 50 and 100 yard dashes. Dick Ealvey was high scorer for Tech, taking the 200 breast¬ stroke, and placing second in the 220 freestyle. MASS. STATE 51, TECH 26. On January 19, the boys from Amherst came to Worcester to start the new year right, leaving two broken records in their wake. Merrill Welker stroked the 440 freestyle in 5 minutes and 28 seconds, and the State relay team churned off 400 yards in 3:58 flat. Dick Ealvey captured Tech’s only first in the 200 breaststroke. EOUR IN A ROW. After a mishap to one of the two team cars enroute, a crippled team fell victim to the Wesleyan mermen in the Middletown tank. Harry Gray took Tech’s only first place, setting a new college record in the 50, covering the dis¬ tance in 25.2. Three second places were captured by Tech men, bringing the total to 17 points, against Wesleyan’s 59. IN THE MONEY. The Tech swimmers won their first victory of the season when they grabbed the opportunity to subdue B. U. 50 to 27 on Eebruary 16 in Euller Pool. Lane, Ealvey and Wiley gained an early lead for Tech in the medley relay which the team never relinquished. Harry Gray, Charlie McElroy, Morrison Smith and Dick Ealvey secured individlual firsts for Tech, leading the way in the 40, 100, 440 and both breaststroke events. The most bitterly contested event was the 400 yard relay, the leadership of which changed hands several times before the Engineer quartet nosed out a verdict by less than six inches. OUCH! Two pool records were smashed as Bill Buechner led his Amherst cohorts to a smashing victory over a fighting but rather ineffective Tech team in Fuller Pool on February 26, amassing a total of 63 points to Tech’s 14. Again Dick Ealvey took the Grantmen’s only first, and Harry Gray the only second place. Buechner stroked the 220 freestyle in 2:21:1 for one new record, while the Lord Jeff’s 400 yard relay team clipped 9 whole seconds off the old record, covering the course in 3:49. Page one hundred thirty-two THIRTY FIVE SUCCESS. The Tech natators brought their season to a close by a hard earned victory over the Coast Guard array at New London. The best race of the day was the 40, when Harry Gray nosed out Prins of the Guards¬ men by less than a foot. Captain Wiley, Smith, Falvey and Gray came through in the final event to win the freestyle relay by a pool length and give Tech the meet. Wiley, Captain Lane.

Stanton THE PEDDLER I N LINE with the times, there has been this year a complete revamping of the Peddler. Time-worn traditions have been cast aside, policies win¬ nowed in an attempt to bring out the wheat. We hope the steps taken meet with general approval. The first, and most momentous step concerns the sale of the volume. Pre¬ vious to last year the book cost five dollars a copy. All seniors were required to buy three copies. Last year a long stride was taken in the right direction by reducing the price to two-fifty. The faults in the plan became apparent and a modified plan was proposed this year. The latter met with universal approval. The PEDDLER this year was three dollars a copy; one dollar being paid for each student from the blanket tax. Seniors paid in addition for the engraving of their photograph. It has been the aim for several years to bring the PEDDLER into a position where it could be partially supported by the blanket tax. But this support should never be more than one third. The value of the book to the students will be lost if it is increased above 33%. A complete new style has been introduced into this year’s volume. It is with confidence that it is produced. But it is to be hoped that it will not be copied—that it is allowed to remain unique to the 1935 PEDDLER. There are more methods of treatment remaining than have ever been used. The expenses of producing an annual are very great. If for no other reason than this, the receipts should be wisely spent. This rests upon the Editor. The Editor and Business Manager should be in very close contact that the book may be kept within the budget. Hundreds of hours of work on the part of the Editor are necessary and every dollar must be spent wisely. Sometimes complaints are heard because the seniors are placed three on a page. To put two on a page, each senior would have to pay between a Page one hundred forty-four THIRTY FIVE dollar and a half and one-seventy-five more per copy. Remember now, one hundred and twenty-six men would have to agree to that. The reason that this was not even attempted was two-fold; its possibility of success was very uncertain; and the policy being followed does not permit it. The addition of a snapshot picture for each senior would have added two-fifty per man. Each Peddler is fundamentally a senior book, but actually it is meant to be a year-book. This year, because of the selling plan and the aims in mind, it has been attempted to make the senior section more subordinate to the rest of the book. Also members of the other three classes are given as much consideration as seniors in the remaining part of the book, in proportion to their activities. With this volume, nine men retire from office, with a certain amount of satisfaction for a difficult task well done, and with sincere hopes for the con¬ tinued success of future PEDDLERS. We wish the best of luck to the incoming staff. Page one hundred forty-five THE PEDDLER PERSONNEL Editor-in-Chief Leonard G. pIumphrey, Jr., ’35 Managing Editor Business Manager Homer R.

Mieczkowski TECH NEWS TORCESTER Tech has had almost since its beginning a school publica- ’ tion of some kind or other. The first publication was the W. P. L Weekly. This newspaper lasted for several years and then was discontinued. The Journal, the alumni magazine, was for a while our only college news bulletin. Because this was more an alumni magazine than a college news¬ paper, the Tech News was instituted in 1910, and has been published weekly for twenty-five years. During its existence the Tech News has developed two main objectives. The more important one, of course, is the job of publishing news and special articles designed to interest the student and alumni readers. The second pur¬ pose is to fit new men by the various steps of contributor, reporter, and junior editor or assistant manager, for the task of continuing the publication of the News and of maintaining the high standard of excellence set by preceding classes. Improvement has always been heartily welcomed as a means of keeping abreast with the times. This past year has seen several noteworthy changes. News columns, such as. This Collegiate World, Twenty Years Ago, Frachat, Bridge and With Our Opponents, have been added. The Collegiate Digest, a new heading, and new heads have been greeted with pleasure. Page one hundred forty-six THIRTY FIVE The Tech News has long held a rather prominent position in the college life, exerting a powerful and healthy influence over the students at the In¬ stitute. The News issued a special “At Home Day’’ issue, organized athletic rallies, was guardian of our billy goat mascot, actively sponsored the Xmas Seal Campaign of the Worcester County Health Association, and launched a Song and Cheer Contest.

FEATURE THE PEDDLER WORCESTER TECH THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, OR THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME L-A-D-I-E-S and G-E-N-T-L-E-M-E-N, the world’s greatest show right at your doorstep. Exhibits such as you never before have seen and which you may never again witness. See ELECTRIC WIND blow out candles, hear the terrifying noise of the LIBERTY. Guides are waiting to the left, folks, to take you through this wonderland of science. Don’t PUSH, there’s lots of time and we have enough guides for you all. And for one day only, today, the admission is absolutely free. All right, everybody ready, just grab this rail and we’ll start the climb up to the top of the Hill. No, Mister, that little hut there is not a rest station, it is the Skull Tomb. Hold tight to the rail, there, we’ve still got the hardest part to go. Before you is Boynton Hall. This is where the silly Civils pursue the science of looking through those telescopes of theirs. Coming around the corner of the hall you will see the bulletin boards. To the right we find the main offices. That is where the students pay their bills. Why three girls, did you ask? Well, I suppose it is because between payments one of them might forget the pro¬ cedure in collecting the money and they figure that if the three of them can talk it over once in awhile they will all know how to lure the shekels from the unwary undergrad. Be careful on these stairs. You will note that they are curved. English classes are held on the upper floors and the youngsters, pardon me, I mean the freshmen and sophomores, have to give oral dissertations. It is believed that by going up these stairs at a fast speed, in attempting to get to class on time, any person would be dizzy enough to want to make a speech. The same reason applies to the mathematics and Civil classes in the building. When these students leave their classrooms they hurry down the stairs, which then are curved in the opposite direction, and by the time they reach the ground they are completely undizzied. I’m sorry if you’re dizzy, lady. I am, too, or I wouldn’t be here. The next building on our tour will be the Washburn Shops. Take it easy, please, that is a narrow doorway. This is where the students learn to torture a machine. You will note the seeming industry. It is all a sham. Those fellows are not making a thing. They just make believe they are busy and keep the gears from clashing in an attempt to get a decent mark. Page one hundred ninety THIRTY FIVE This is one of the most popular courses because the students get themselves covered with grease and then have their pictures taken. They like to tell people how busy they are and how hard they have to work. On the second floor of this building we have the pattern shop. This is the home of Pop Monroe. Is he my father, did you say? Well, no. Oh, I see. You want to know why he’s called Pop. I don’t know unless it is because he is always popping patterns into the bandsaw for some reason or other. Is he that bad, you want to know? Oh, no. Pop is a pretty good egg, but even you would get peeved if you saw the way those freshmen acted during their course up here. They get glue in their hair and paint on their faces and splinters all over themselves. On the floor above this is the hideout of the aviation boys, Tom, Dick, and Harry. They learn everything you could want to know about flying. Some of them have become so expert that they have been termed fairies. You’ve probably heard of them. Over there against the wall is the wind tunnel. What’s that, sir? You say you don’t see any need for one after having heard some aviators talking about themselves. We’ll go downstairs again and go over to the Power House. Down this little flight, please. Just go through this tunnel now. Don’t mind the darkness. Aim for that little bit of light ahead of you and you’ll be all right. This is where the Electrics make the electricity that is used on the Campus. It’s perfectly safe. Oh, oh, the lights went out. No, lady, you shouldn’t have pulled those switches. Now in this room are the boilers that generate the steam which in turn is changed into the electricity. Just a moment, please. I’ll call one of the men to tell you about the plant. Say, there, will you come here a minute? Who, me? Naw, lady, I ain’t no student at Tech. I just keep feeding Big Bertha here her rations o’ coal and onc’t in awhile I take a crack at teaching de students. Yeah. It is a nice day. Come back again some day. Good Bye, They’re starting up the Liberty. Let’s hurry through this tunnel and we’ll watch them. YOU CAN’T HEAR ME. WELL, I CAN’T SHOUT ANY LOUDER. JUST LOLLOW ME. We’ll take a look upstairs where they are measuring the strength of soap bubbles. Yes. sir, this little device doesn’t look like much but it is quite complicated. No, I doubt very much that your son would care to test any soap bubbles that he blows with his clay pipe. Oh, thanks a lot for the cigar. This fresh air feels good. This building ahead of us is the gymnasium. This is where an attempt is made to change some of the freshman and sophomore brain into brawn. Beg pardon, lady. You want to get over to the foundry. I see, the program says that they will pour at 4. No, Miss, they aren’t going to pour tea. What they pour is molten metal. Yes, it will be a little too hot to take along with you as a souvenir. You don’t mind? You say it will be all right for the men working to pour it right into your purse. I wouldn’t advise it. Well, if you insist, I suppose it can be arranged, but I still think you are being foolish. Page one hundred ninety-one THE PEDDLER Phew-w-w, you’ll get used to this in a minute folks. This is the chem¬ istry building. Yes, I suppose you could guess that from the smell. You say you’d rather wait down here until we come back. All right, lady, we won’t stay long. Perhaps you would like to look over the Physics department with us. This is the main lecture hall where the canny Scots¬ man holds forth while at¬ tempting to fool those watching him. HE CHANGES LIGHT IN¬ TO SOUND: SOUND INTO LIGHT, he makes BLACK SEEM TO BE WHITE, and VICE VERSA. We guarantee you thrills galore. Watch closely, no mirrors are used. You want to know who the stooge is, madam? It is a long, long story, but to make it short we will tell you that his name is Edmund and he would resent being called a stooge. Now to go up a flight. The prices aren’t any lower but just as much fun is in store for you. In this room that rosy-faced man of science goes on and on to the mounting bewilderment of the freshmen. The straight man of this act is Hiram. Watch him closely while he attempts to light the match. You will note the uncanny precision of his movements. Not a waste motion. He has it down to a veritable science. It is more com¬ monly known as the Oxford Movement. Over here in the next room a group of would-be Chemists will show you what happens to your milk when it gets sour, as if you didn’t know that it doesn’t taste any too good. Erom here we go on to that paradise of electricity. Here you will see the mighty forces of nature harnessed to perform for your entertainment. Here we are in the E. E. Build¬ ing. No, lady, this is not a test of the properties of fog. This is the smoking room. Just hang on to my coat and I’ll lead you safely out of here. Now we are in the high poten¬ tial lab. Don’t stick your nose too close to the wire or you’ll get a shock. Well, I warned you, sonny. This is STUBBORN STELLA. She answers your orders. If she likes you she will speak but if she thinks you would be an old meanie she will right up and buck. Step right up and have the sensation of having STELLA perform for you Page one hundred ninety-two THIRTY FIVE alone. You want her to play dead for you, lady? No, she can ' t do that. Oh, so you want her to? Well, it’s just an impossibility. Well, if you insist, you can try. STELLA just isn’t built that way and no matter what you may say. I’ll concede that Stella has her good points. If you will follow me upstairs you will witness a man who will allow a MILLION VOLTS OL ELECTRICITY to pass through his body, but who will not be injured by it. A trick, you think? Oh, no, that’s just proof of the type of men who come here. They can take it. And now for one last exhibit. You will WITNESS THE ASTOUNDING PHEN¬ OMENA OF SEEING A BOLT OF LIGHTNING CLIMB FROM THE FLOOR TO THE CEILING. T-H-E-R-E LT G-O-E-S. It’s all over now. We hope you enjoyed yourself on our little tour of Tech and when we make the trip again next year we would be very pleased to see you all with us again. Thanks again for that cigar, mister. I’m going downstairs to smoke it now. Stick around a little longer because if I get sick I’ll be wanting to see you.

Page one hundred ninety-six THIRTY FIVE Page one hundred ninety-seven THE PEDDLER NUTS TO YOU! ' ' y (Thanks to B. Leighton Wellman and Warren R. Purcell, playwrights of the first water, we present to you fragments, etc., selected from the Faculty Skit given at the last Tech Carnival.) (Enter Dr. Blowtorch hurriedly) Prof.: Ah, Dr. Blowtorch, may I extend to you a welcome from the faculty and students of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute? Alpha (cheerleader) : (jumping up) All right, a cheer for Dr. Blow¬ torch now. (Blowtorch glances quickly at the professor and walks around the desk and sits down in the one chair. He looks annoyed as the cheer progresses, as follows: How do you want your oysters, raw! raw! raw! How do you want your beefsteak, raw! raw! raw! What do we think of Blowtorch, haw! haw! haw! Prof.: Dr. Blowtorch, we are indeed highly honored to— Blowtorch: Never mind that. Help me get off this overcoat. And while you’re at it get off it yourself. Does it look like a doormat? Blowtorch: (continuing to class, beaming) Gentlemen, or am I taking too much for granted. As I look down upon your bright shining faces I am reminded of the seat of my trousers. However, that is some¬ thing you probably don’t see right now. By the way, does anyone remember what I was supposed to talk about? Epsilon: Engineering, Dr. Blowgun. Blowtorch: You despicable cad! That’s the first time my name has ever been mispronounced. Slowhorse is the name—I mean Blowtorch. Blowtorch: So it’s you. Spaghetti. I’d say you were here bright and early except that I don’t think you’re bright, and you were supposed to be here yesterday. Spaghetti: No, Prof. You told me day before yesterday to come tomorrow, but when tomorrow came yesterday it was today, so I said to myself I got to come tomorrow and I think that’s today. Blowtorch: Just forget I mentioned it. Spaghetti. Say, you certainly look collegiate, but isn’t that raccoon coat a little short for you? What fur is it? I repeat, what fur? Spaghetti: Fur to keep my neck warm, ’at’sa some joke, huh. Prof? Spaghetti: Well, I tella you. It’s a lak dis. I’m a sound asleep. I hear a noise outside my door. I say to myself, “I think we got too many freshmen.” I take my gun. I open the door, and BANG— I shoota da skunk in my pajamas. Blowtorch: Good Heavens, Spaghetti, how did he get in your pajamas? Spaghetti: I don’t know, Prof. Blowtorch: Well, where did he come from? Spaghetti: Just then I go— (He inhales slowly) —and I tink he come from the chem. lab. Gamma: I’ll bet the chemists didn’t even know he was there. Page one hundred ninety-eight THIRTY FIVE Beta: Fine! Now let’s discuss the homework problems. Blowtorch: But I haven’t done my homework for today. Beta: You’re not supposed to do it. We do it. Blowtorch: Well! ! That’s different. Certainly we’ll discuss the home¬ work problems. Alpha, what answers did you get for the first problem? Alpha: Four and a half pair of pants and a pair of suspenders. Blowtorch: I didn’t know there were any one legged men in that problem. How did you get that answer? Alpha: From Omega, because the problem said to get the answer in the shortest way possible, and he’s my roommate. Blowtorch: Sheer genius! Omega, how did you get the answer? Omega: From Gamma. Blowtorch: Ah! Another genius. And how did you get it. Gamma? Gamma: From the fraternity files, but I don’t think it’s right. Blowtorch: Probably not. You’re files are out of date, I think. We have to change the problems once in awhile so we won’t wear grooves in the blackboard. Say, what fraternity was that? Gamma: Cracka Nu Bottle fraternity. Blowtorch: I understand they have a terrible feud down there. Spaghetti: Say, Blowtorch, I ate down there last week and the feud was terrible. Blowtorch: That’s too bad. Spaghetti. How was the water? Spaghetti: At’sa no good either, Prof. It turned black every time I put my hands in it. Blowtorch: Well, well. Did you try drinking any of it? Spaghetti: Aw, Prof. Nobody drinks water down there. Blowtorch: You gentlemen are driving me out of my mind. Spaghetti: That’s no drive. Prof. That’s a putt. Page one hundred ninety-nine THE PEDDLER Page two hundred THIRTY FIVE THE A. C. FLUSHOVER A Formula is an aid to Knowledge, not a sub for It. Cold! Washington will never know how lucky he was to be assigned to Valley Forge instead of this place. JUNE 14, 1935 SPORTING SECTION Extra: Tech Students Nip Profs in Thriller (Special to Flushover) The Tech Student baseball club today beat out the profs in the last inning as a result of “Ducky” Hennings hefty triple that scored “Rabbit” Abelson from second with the winning run of the game. The last inning is given play by play below as re¬ ported by the demon reporter Joseph E. Paintbrush. Profs: “Ham” Maxfield fiied out to “Ducky” Henning in deep left center. With the count three and two “Miserable” Seig- fried stood motionless at the plate and was called out on strikes. Two down. On the first ball pitched “Doc” Pierce rattled a double off the G. E. sign in left field. “These ones” Morgan lofted to Silva for the final out. No runs, 1 hit and 1 left. Students: “Spider” Roys made a nice stop of Gullo’s grounder and threw him out at first. One man gone! “Rabbit” Abelson drew a base on balls and advanced to sec¬ ond when “Dingtoe” Smith’s toeing of the slab for the profs brought forth a wild throw to “Ether” Adams on 1st in a vain attempt to catch the “Rabbit” off first. “Sparks” Newell then threw out “Babe” Lawton at first with Abelson holding second. Two men gone. On the first pitch “Ducky” Henning then blasted a roaring triple to right field scoring the “Rabbit” from second with the winning run of the game. Stray Load Losses Nool: Who was that lady I saw ya with last night? Peerce: Oh, that was Miss Hellen Dam. The latest rumor has it that Eugene Henning passed all four of his Makeups and will be allowed another exam in his other screw course. It has also been rumored about that a cer¬ tain E. E. instructor has accepted a job for the summer as a crane operator instructor at G. E. W. P. I. Prof Honored at Meeting of S. P. E. E. Notice has just been received at the Flush- over Office that “Ether” Adams popular W. P. I. prof, of electrical transmissions and dis¬ tributions systems has recently been honored by the Society for the Prevention of Electri¬ cal Eugenics, for the development of a new and easier method of calculating losses in high tension lines caused by birds sitting on the wire. His simplified formula is as follows: P= (Z ' Z )Z ' Z Z ' Z Z ' Z sin No of birds PV (cot-o) - WRT Z«Z Z® etc. to 10 You assume a number - -— [FMIQ] [4Q] Av Perching time The following is a word for word picture of an inclusive interview: “I, ahh, have, ahh worked, ahh, a great deal err, on ahh, this problem, ahh, so important, ahh to electrical engineers and, ahh, err, power companies. Now, ahh, a few, ahh words, ahh, on, ahh, its applications. It will, ahh, revolutionize the, ahh, design and construction of high tension lines, ahh, almost overnight. Ahh, any questions? If not, ahh, I guess that’s all for now. Page two hundred one THE PEDDLER KEMICAL KINETICS Kinetic, according to our scource of information, concerns the “action of forces in causing or influencing motion.” It is a proper title for this resume. We hope to present a panorama of the crowd, associations and setting. We’ve had a veritable multitude of forces directing our motion through the halls of Salisbury. Our sophomore year found a group of 3 3 braving the seas of Qualitative under the guidance of W. L. J. The most important discovery here was that everlasting punster Carl Bergstrom. Fortunately no serious challenge has arisen to question his supremacy in the art. The class was not too well organized but after experiencing Tombstone’s course in mineralogy, the boys drew together for self protection. His lectures were to become the salient feature of our four years (he’s a swill Prof.). Stoich chased us along rapidly. Halfway mark and the Kaiser’s eight o’clocks. From the depths of Organic lab came the embryo vocalists. Louie rendered asunder the arias from isopropropy propane. Berg¬ strom’s accompaniment almost killed the Maestro. The choral society consisted of Marsh Dann, A1 Hardy, Brownie Gruzdis and Ted McKinley. Pro Olson and John Blais got professional offers from the Glee Club and accepted. In the second half the class met the climax: Dinny! his “cubic miles per week” tested our Yankee Ingenuity. A real headache this choosing a thesis. Sam Ehrlich rearranged the top floor every 3.423567890 hours. Across the hall were M. K. and Al, giving Eli Romanoff a tough time handling three theses at once. On the floor below appeared a galaxy of stars! The Heat of Reaction Department (Marsh and Ted McKinley) functioned intermittently through the year along with our friend the Maestro, and his “Cow-ampere-watts-bxzz-days per square foot” units. In the Sanitation Lab was J. B. and his bug! He wasn’t sure what it was, but only that it was! Here also, Louise Soloway struggled with his problem on the sterilization of water, and Bergie analyzed water from Beaver Brook. In this corner, we have Francis Floyd Harrington, alias Bismark. If he didn’t go crazy staring at wood fibres under his microscope for a half-year, there’s hope in any line of work. Down on the ground floor were the chemical Engineers. Ted Latour and Louie Rovno were the cellar hybrids, while Joe Flanagan and George toyed with the deposition of abrasive in rubber and the cracking of methanol, respectively. The other Chemical Engineer, George Beaulieu, worked in Leominster to simplify matters for all concerned. Thirty-three started; fifteen are getting through, or 45.4% of the hopefuls. “The mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind exceedingly small!” It was not all work, however. Highlights not to be forgotten include: the famous Ban- cioft Tower Be er Party; discussions by Oley and the Maestro on current musical reviews; Smith’s unfailing production of home-work when it was due (for three years anyway) ; that punk course in Physical Chemistry: Rovno’s voicing of unsolicited opinions; Dr. Jenning’s efforts to co-relate tennis balls and molecules; and to top it off, the universal co¬ operation of all hands in matters requiring considerable finesse, particularly in Industrial and Electro. In closing, Auf Wiederseh’n, fellows, and may Good Fortune be with all of you. ook «VII� PEDDLER N i n e t e e n Thirty-Five V. No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own.—He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
