Summer passes—quietly, uneventfully. September 23 and the dawn of a new year’s learning for Elmer A. Having elected the M.E. course, his sophomore year brings him face to face with a new line of personalities among the faculty. Doc with his booming German course; the Chief, and later little Moose, for surveying—or, as the civils would have it, for civil engineering. A new English course—public speaking, criticisms by Frenchie: “. . . two minutes undertime.” And on through descript, with Jack and Stan. Physics B (B) to worry about, and the whole physics department to worry him. No Dutchy, but a host of others pitching—Sis, Sam, and newcomers Gus and Samp. Cal¬ culus rears its ugly head during E.A.’s sophomore year but Ricey, Doc, Brownie, and Wild Bill do their share to dispel its gloom. Higgie, sly and subtle, trains him in the ways of logical writing, and Scheif takes over the reins of his German instruction. Into the new M.E. building goes Elmer to tackle statics with dapper Black Mac, while his classmate Chem. Engines matches wits with Tombstone in the Quant, course. And so, on and on, in a maddening whirl, ever increasing in pace, weave the strands of his education. As Elmer goes through his junior year, real engineering train¬ ing takes the place of the leadup subjects of his previous years.
