©HHPAGfiT mmi »© We, the Class of 1942, as a final contribution to the body of stern, learned men who have moulded our futures for the past four years, do hereby dedicate the following to the faculty of the Institute, and we further declare that all resemblance of nickname to professorial title is exactly what we’re trying for. Our narra¬ tive is written completely in the spirit of fun and we hope that it will be taken in that light. Our story opens in the small town of Lower Cupboard Junc¬ tion, nestled in the hills of eastern Kentucky. A kaleidoscope of houses, faces, cornfields, and stills whirls past our eyes as we search for he who has brought great honor to the town of L.C.J. Ah! There he is!! Behold and admire he who sits on a corn- likker drum and reads his certificate of admission to Worcester Polytech. Let us look at it more closely. To: Elmer A. Corn, L.C.J., Ky. It says, quote YOU’RE IN! LOVE AND KISSES end quote, signed Jerry. Scene 2 opens in our own Worcester, Massachusetts. Elmer A. has just alighted from the “Bluegrass Snorter,” and, wiping the cinders from his eyes, he surveys the enormity of Union Station.

Off id® placement service for seniors and recent grad¬ uates. Six times a year, the Alumni Office publishes the Alumni Journal, a magazine issued for the purpose of keeping alive the old Tech Spirit among the many graduates on far- flung fields. One of the most important tasks of the Alumni Office is probably appreciated more by the alumni than by the students; that is the receiving and handling of all gifts and contributions to the school. Another important phase of the administration is the supervision of the library facilities. This is under the direction of Miss Emily M. Haynes, Librarian. She has direct charge of the main library in Alden Memorial and helps indirectly with the various departmental libraries. Other officers of the administration are Miss Martha E. Strong, Assistant Bursar; Irving A. Green, Assistant Treasurer; Miss Elizabeth Sawyer, Secretary of Admissions; Miss Virginia Allen, Secretary to the President; and Miss Esther P. Gaylord, Secretary to the Dean of Engineering. Francis William Roys Robert Phillips Kolb William Willard Locke, Jr. Herbert Foster Taylor Paul Richard Swan 11
