FAREWELLS...

Anil Varghese `01
Rockland County, NYManagement

Akvar is probably involved in every kind of student government on campus possible.  From elections to the janitorial staff that refills toilet seat covers in bathrooms, Anil has a say in it. His bureaucratic ways and attention to detail will suit him well in pursuit of a law degree.  Yet, when you're chillin' with the Big Bureaucrat-var, you'll find him easy to get along with and hard to out-eat. You can be sure Anil is probably forming a committee right now to find out who wrote this.
 

Peter Finin `01 Philadelphia, PAPhysics and Mathematics

Everyone hits a wall sometimes. Most people find this wall and stray from it afterwards. Peter is not most people. Peter likes to run full speed at this wall, smash into it head first, lie unconscious for a few hours, watch an episode of The Simpsons, then try again. Why don't we stop him? Well Peter has an overabundance of brain cells, and he has plans to build das Uberkart. Hopefully, a few more run-ins with the wall will knock Peter down to the average MIT students' intelligence level and make him forget about das Uberplans.
 

Dave Yang `01 Mt. Prospect, ILManagement

One Spider Man plus one Speedy Gonzalez plus one Schwarzenegger plus infinite basketball skills plus one devout Christian equals the one and only Dave Yang. This native of Illinois can beat you off the dribble, bench twice your weight, and teach you a Bible story by the time you finish reading about him. As the leader of the PKT Bible study, a Management major, and a master of speaking to the ladies, we think that Dave has it all. How did the Almighty pack all of this punch into one person? That is one question we are all dying to know.
 

Leonard Johnson `01 Fullerton, CAAeronautics & Astronautics

Leonard wasn't always the lazy senior he is today. When he first came to MIT, he had plans to use his Aero-Astro degree for the betterment of mankind.  After 3 terms of Unified, he was a bitter Junior who envisioned becoming an Air Force Commando and then killing his old Unified profs. Much less bitter today, he pretty much spends his days working out, watching the Simpsons or WWF on TV, or day-dreaming of his future life as an Air Force Pilot.  Now, if only he could sort out the mysterious $2 debt someone seems to owe him.
 

Joe Levine `01 Buffalo, NYMathematics and EECS

Joe (or "The Queen" as he is called in the underground world of espionage) is an International Man of Mystery. Some days, he hides from the public eye in the solitary world of MacGregor, secretly promoting the next movie starring Billy Dee Williams. Other days, Queen ventures out in search of a challenge, enticing doomsayers to a "game of chance." Perhaps the indignity of growing up in Buffalo drives him to seek greater fame, or perhaps it is just the aftertaste of eating Kung Pao Matzah Balls. All we know is that we will miss the captivating stories and personality of this worldly double-agent when he graduates.
 

Jose Gonzalez `01 Roswell, GAChemistry and Math

Sometimes, weeks go by where the only way we know Jose is still alive is that the Canyon is mysteriously clean when we get home from school. When he's not lost in the depths of McCormick, swim team practice, grad school visitations, or AXS meetings, this brother can be found coming up with novel ways of avoiding papers, encouraging Peter to be less of a lazy bum, or expressing his contempt for Harvard Archeologists. With his recent decision to go to GA Tech for grad school, and the improvement of his "10 minute shower" time to 15 short minutes (from the previous 60 lengthy ones), this kid is really goin' places. It is truly a fine time to be Jose Gonzalez.
 

Larry Pilkington `01 Hyannis, NEAeronautics & Astronautics

If we ever lose Larry in a blizzard, two things we can count on are the ability to track him down by listening for his ear-piercing laughter and the fact that he'll be topless, despite the fact that his nipples will have turned black from frostbite. Good thing we haven't lost him yet, since as an ex-house manager, Larry often finds himself helping the poor and uneducated (us) by unclogging toilets, fixing leaks, and taking care of anything else that might go wrong. Soon enough, though, Larry will be gone, continuing his education in graduate school to better prepare himself to design airplanes, his lifelong dream.
