course and changes his name to Joe. For the benefit of the unenlightened reader, Physicists are always called Oscar, and Mechanical Engineers are always called Joe. Civils and E.E.’s are apt to be called almost anything. But to get back to Oscar, or rather, Joe. With the new accelerated program, Joe is thrown into contact with a great number of new mentors in rapid succession. Hig- gie, after Pop, is an amazing contrast. Surveying, with Des Smith, is something to be looked forward to (at least until cold weather). And for another treat we have Sam, the flyin’ man, in physics. Jeepers Creepers! Black Mac turns out to be not nearly as bad as his nickname implies, and classes with Don are so clear that one almost en¬ joys them.

John Hamilton Whenman Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Robert Thompson Young, Jr. Assistant Professor of Physics (Leave of Absence) Comes Junior year (actually the mid¬ dle of Joe’s second year at Tech) bringing more real engineering work, with a de¬ cided emphasis on his chosen course of study. In the economics department, the Well, fellows” of Doc Schweiger, the witticisms of Ed Watson, convince Joe that these subjects would probably be pretty good, if there were more time to spare for them. In the E.E. department our friend meets Ripper and Cappy, and renews his acquaintance on a new basis with Daddy. Joe thinks It’s too bad they had to go wrong.—They ought to be teaching M.E.” At long last Senior year rolls around. No new faces now, but Joe’s old acquaint¬ ances become friends. He begins to un¬ derstand what these men have given him, almost in spite of himself. He realizes that it makes no difference what he does after graduation. These men have faith that he can do his job, and by gosh, he’ll surely try.
