The theme of the affair was the '49 gold nish, but it was per­ haps the least unique feature of the dance. First of all, the programs did not provide spaces for allotting dances, a custom that now seems to be fading. Secondly, the refreshments were free, something that usual patrons of the Palais Eoyale found difficult to believe. Midway through the evening of dancing, Miles Quail, a member of the general committee, introduced the "Belle of the Ball" and the "Sweetheart of the Claim." In the role of the "Belle" was cast Miss Mary Frances Harding, a love­ ly brunette sophomore from Lake For­ est's Bai-at College. Miss Harding, clad in a fire-engine red frock was the guest of Sophomore Class President Terry Brennan. Miss Joanne Sullivan, snappy and brunette, Toledo University junior, was the "Sweetheart."

It was felt that the engineering stu­ dent, whose training is of a technical nature, was perforce lacking in various phases of a liberal education; therefore, the committee was formed and plans were drawn for the scheduled talks to­ ward liberalization. Mr. E. H. Worcester, assistant to the Personnel Director of U.S. Rubber Co., speaking on industry's expanded use of the aptitude tests inaugurated the series of talks.

The Sfory of DICK LONGFELLOW

MINNESOTA '37

O small factor in Dick Longfellow's deci­ N sion to come with General Electric was the knowledge that at G.E. he could con­ tinue his studies in electronics engineering. Dick had grown up with electronics. He An engineer for his Univenity broadcasting station, Dick handled controls during foot­ had operated his own amateur radio station ball broadcasts. when he was 14, and at Minnesota he had specialized in communications. With this background of intensive study, Among his present assignments a included work on radio sonde equipment, used to he was well-prepared to take advantage of determine weather data. the courses available to him at General Elec­ tric. His outstanding work during two years of high-frequency studies earned him elec­ tronics assignments first, in the Research Laboratory, and later, in 1940, with the Transmitter Division. Since then Dick Longfellow has been shap­ ing for himself the kind of a career he began planning long ago. He has worked in tele­ vision, has designed ultra high frequency radio tubes, has contributed to the develop­ ment of radar. Today, after ten years with G.E., he is Chief Engineer of the company's Electronics Specialty Division.

MALONEY There was a time in our Alma Mater's history when St. Joe's Lake was more than just a liquid splotch separating us from our beloved neighbors on the 'Eock.' In Father Lemonnier's day, our undoubt­ edly clever predecessors found a use for this body of water other than the esthe­ tic—boating. This adventure (?) bent circle founded a club to which they gave the official mon­ icker of the "St. Joe's Boating Club." The first boats they procured were large 1^ cumbersome jobs which they rightly nick­ named, "barges." They christened their new crafts The Santa Maria, The Pinta and their staff boat, the Nina (more evi­ dence of N.D. originality.) They built a boathouse on the lake shore, and held races twice annually, viz.: St. Ed's and Commencement Day. The new proposition clicked, and the club was obliged to buy two other boats, six-oared specimens, which they named the Evangeline and the Minnehaha. When Father Lemonnier died, the club, always an ardent admirer of the former president, was duly renamed the Lem­ You're head and shoulders above the onnier Boating Club in his honor.
