We will long remember the attempts of Mister Roberts to get a transfer from a cargo ship to a battleship, and also Ensign Pulver’s rise from cowardice to courage almost equal to that of Mr. Roberts. After the play there was more party-going, but these seemed a little quieter somehow, for everyone was be¬ ginning to feel the effe cts of the rigorous schedule of the past two days. But, then again, nobody minded a bit. Another Spring function which was very well attended was Tau Beta Pis annual student-faculty picnic. The picnic is held as part of Tau Beta’s program to improve student-faculty relations. It features a student-faculty softball contest which usually winds up with everyone losing track of the score but having a wonderful time.

Tech is indeed fortunate to have a man of his stature on its staff and welcomes him to his new post of additional responsi¬ bility.” Dean Price was a student here at Tech and was a member of Skull, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, and was class president. It is certainly true, as President Bronwell stated, “Dean Price has earned the highest admiration and respect of the faculty, the students, and the people of the com¬ munity.” To find a replacement for Dean Price, the adminis¬ tration went to Colorado State University for Pro- lessor Donald N.
