New York city boasts 5,000 places where tenpins be rolled. naturally Dick Young was elected both terms. Our “Half Way Thru® banquet and also Junior Prom were safely piloted through with “friend Dick” at the helf of the respective committees. Then just to show folks that he was capable, he went out for the Mandolin club and made it. We will all remember him sitting up there on the platform at the Musical Asso- ciation concernt and dance plunking away on a bano that was almost as big as he was. At the end of the vear he was taken into “Skull” as a recognition of his services rendered to his Alma Mater. Senior year found Dick almost stag- gering under the load of responsibili- ties that was ldid on his young shoulders. But the worth of the man was shown for he has. carried through all of his undertakings with remark- able success. Besides being class president of the Tech council during the first semester, he holds the posi- tion of business manager of the Aft- ermath, that delightful compilation of data which we all look forward to just about commenceent time. It is amusing to say the least to see the little man coming bustling into recitation with his little arms full of big books. Some day we hope to see him bustle into a good poesition in the big world outside of Tech where he will always be remembered by us as our permanent class secretary.
