s ntroduction
It is an acknowledged fact that history
is best Written by those Who are a part of it.
Pepys, Casanova, and Cellini are read Widely
because they Wrote of events of which they
themselves were a part.
It is for this reason that the class has
delegated us to Write this History of the
American Institute of Laundering Class of
1939. "We" are D. Tergent, a member of the
class, who has witnessed every event to be
described. Like Walter Durant, "We Write
as We please." Let no one be offended as We
record this momentous school year.

that wheel go 'round like a button.
ERY few of those who were there can
forget that first day of school.. . .Miss
House cheery and full of welcome,
Walt peppy and friendly, and Cec reserved,
but friendly, too. There we were all intro-
duced, and it can be said that from that first
moment we were as old buddies.
What a bunch.. . .all types from all places!
Drawly Gabe Martin from New Mexico,
husky Larry Deibold from up New York wayg
"Short Stuff" Pappyg Silent Hank from Chi-
cagog and not so silent Arky from the same
place. Shuffling Avon Karp left his gal in
Syracuse, and Warren Davies left his in Co-
lumbus. Benjy Pollock came from Arkansas,
slide rule in hand. O. C. and Irwin Harris
met and immediately called each other "Pop"
and "Son." Yes, sir. . .a great bunch.
The course opened with a bang and main-
tained a high state of interest all the Way

Electricity had us feeling as low as a ground-
hog.. . ."Pete" Becker excepted, of course.
There were several highlights to be re-
membered in the Power Course. Our terrific
shellacking of the faculty in softball, a vic-
tory made easier by Walt's errors in left field
and Larry Deibold's hitting was one such high-
light. Al Menk's late arrival was another.
Then there were our trips to Chicago...
always instructive.
And, after all, what would the Power
Course be without those two insults to clean-
liness.. . .the cleaning of the Heat Reclaimer
and the Exploration of the Boiler? The ar-
rival of Becker to clean the former in his
plus-four baggy pantaloons was a howl.. ..
nothing more nor less. The sight of Ed Blois
standing knee-deep in mud was an inspiration
to any real working man fof which very few
were presentj.
The boiler job was a great one. Fellows
like Pollock or Harris could get in every-
where, but Blois and Gross could only make

the big places. We were jet black, all of us,
when the job was done, and it was a full week
before any of us were really clean agin.
The boiler test was extremely interesting.
We tested the power plant for several hours
at periods of fifteen minutes, recording such
things as the temperature of the boiler feed
water, kilowatts consumed each hour, tons of
coal consumed, and other such vital factors.
It was unquestionably one of the highlights
of the course.
The climax of the course came with our
trip to the annual convention of laundryown-
ers, however. What a swell time we had.
Getting around to the various exhibits and
meeting the laundrymen from back home was
great stuff. It was the convention that showed
that "Hank" Robeck is a real man's man. It
was quite a time he had.
The convention was followed. . .almost im-
mediately, by Jeff's tummy-ache. Could there
have been any connection between conven-
tion and ache?
Upon our return home, we had a week of
study for our final exams. Cec., realizing
well the limitations of us mere mortals, took
it easy on us, but Walt, villain to the last,
gave us a beauty of an exam. Only Willie
Tench thought it too easy. And so the first
course. . .Power. . .passed into history.

plant production course
For fifty percent extraction, this ma-
chine takes about twelve minutes
running time.
T WAS in early November when we began
this, our second course in the American
Institute School of Laundry Management.
A few of the old guard set forth to make their
fortunes in the wide, wide world and several
new seekers for knowledge of laundering
registered with the same frightened look and
strange appearance that we had had just
two months ago.
We soon found out that this course was
divided, like Gaul, into three main parts.
Laundry Management sneaked in along with
the main part of the course, Production, and
was lectured on by Walt several hours each
week.
Many were the hours we slaved bent over
our drawing boards making a fewclines, many
erasures and smudges on that piece of paper
which was to become the "perfect" laundry.
At the very beginning Walt tried to scare
us by hinting about the "Problem," As old
hands we scoffed at him, thinking that we
could take this mighty work in our stride.
Walt said to us many times, HD., old boy,
you'll be burning the midnight oil before you
are through with me.". . .and how right he
was! A
After studying in class about good laundry
production and bad, we set out one fine morn-
ing to pass judgment on methods as prac-
ticed by some of the Chicago plants. When
the bus arrived in Chicago we began very
enthusiastically to criticize point after point
in the laundries whose managers welcomed
us so hospitably fin very quiet whispers, of
course, so as not to disturb the operators, or
arouse the ire of the managers, or show our
ignorance. . .for ignorant we werej. As the
day wore on and, we walked and walked
through laundry after laundry and saw meth-
You could use a 48 x 54 wash wheel
-instead of that one and get a better
flow of work.

od after method, our fires burned lower and
lower until as a very tired crew we hopped
in the bus to be whisked Jolietward.
Then came the advent of the chart of Fac-
tors Influencing Production. Sure we memo-
rized it. . .after a while. . .but it took a long
time for us to see how valuable it is in inte-
grating the entire problem of efficient work.
For our social debut, one cold evening, we
of the class and several of the staff, gathered
at the Armory for a skating party. The side-
line sitters were both amazed and amused as
the evening wore on. Shortly after mid-
night we found our way homeward and grate-
fully dropped our weary and battered bodies
into bed.
It was during the Production course that
the now famous "Sudsmen" came into being.
Basketball suddenly became a veryfpopular
sport and quite a few of the boys went down
to the "Y" in the afternoons for practice. The
first "Y" basketball league of the season was
organized, in which the "Sudsmen" partici-
pated with some success.
Student Laundry came every afternoon, but
we soon got into the swing of it and worked
willingly and with great accuracy, attempting
to get good production and better quality.
We did! It was during the early part of the
course that Ed Blois, who was on the receiv-
ing side of the Flatwork Ironer, said to "Pete"
Becker, who was feeding, "Never mind, Pete,
I'll fold it after it comes through." This sort
of work was the exception rather than the
rule and we did some mighty fine work, even
if that does seem to be bragging somewhat.
After wsorking day and night we finally
finished our "Problems," took final exams and
left Joliet for the Christmas holidays.

HE opening day of this course was an
eventful one in that new students were
greeted and the rest of us retold the
happenings of the just recent holiday vaca-
tion.
A feminine touch was added to the class
with the enrollment of our one female stu-
dent, Margaret Schwartz. It was shortly
after that she became known as A+ Marga-
ret.
Paul McCoy continued to be late for class.
This time, however, he had excuses. He
used the one about the "governor" on his
new Plymouth. , -
The school saw fit to purchase new uni-
forms for the "Sudsmen." Very nice, too.
They finished the first round play-off in a
tie for iirst place, but in the second round
our "Sudsmen" tied for second. The season
ended with a better than .500 average for
the team.
Snow fell by the bucketfull until it reached
almost a foot in depth and enforced a most
welcome holiday, for it was impossible to
drive through the streets and walking was
treacherous. A few hardy students who did
make it on foot to the Institute, helped out in
the commercial plant. O. C. Harris and
Tommy Campbell making an ideal "two girl"
shirt unit.
Some of the students who did not have
their snowshoes with them were content to
stay in the "Y" and make model airplanes.
It seems that Ben Pollock and Dick Impson
made more and better planes than the rest
of the group. D. Tergent did not consider
his life worth a plugged nickel in the gym,
with model planes zooming around his head,
so to bed to catch up on sleep. '
On a Saturday afternoon the sporting event
of the season took place. The staff defeated
the student team in a bowling match. Art
Anderson proved to be the mainstay for the
staff with his high game of 214, which also
helped. The match ended with the staff
leading by a slim margin of 31 pins.
Everything went along fine in the student
laundry with the exception of one event. It
seems that a Mr. Gershkovitz, better known
as "O'Brien," tried a new method of classifi-
cation. Green sweat shirts are now to be
washed with the white work. Note: this
leaves a slight greenish hue in white shirts.
The movie, "The Lost World," was shown
So, if you control the temperature,
mechanical action, and pH, there'
will be no felting.

one evening in the Institute cafeteria for the
students and staff. Refreshments were served
later in the evening. Through this get-
together we became better acquainted with
each other and with the staff. It was truly
a delightful event.
We gave a bang-up party for ourselves in
the early part of February at the Trojan
Hall. Pappy kept his record perfect with
one of his famous fade-outs. Those that did
not feel like dancing spent their time viewing
the river from the back porch. Your friend,
D. Tergent, wonders if anyone did see the
river? "
We boarded a bus early one morning and
were off to Decatur to visit the Staley Starch
plant. Upon our arrival there We were wel-
comed and immediately set out on a tour of
the administration building. At the end of
this tour we were the guests of the Staley
Company for luncheon in the office cafeteria.
After lunch, special guides from the labora-
tory took the class through the huge starch
plants in detail.
The "flu" epidemic hit the A.I.L. just as it
did practically everywhere else. Many stu-
dents Were ill, as were some of the instruc-
tors. Art Anderson was the hardest hit, but
came out of it in time to climb on his soap box
and tell of the evils of smoking.
The last Week of the course proved to be
rather quiet. I do not think this quiet was
caused by final exams as much as it was by
the realization of the group that many stu-
dents were leaving to take up duties in their
home plants.

sales, service, and advertising course
You see, in vertical filing, the clerk
can go through the cards in very
little time.
HE Sales and Advertising Course started
off with a bang. Our new professor, Paul
Jones, initiated us with a quiz. No doubt
he was as unimpressed with our "intelligence"
as we were with that sort of an opening.
Every day in Sales class brought more and
more lively discussions. Mrs. Grady led them
with a will, but more and more often became
upset with her "Canaries" when they whistled
at odd moments.
Sales films were shown by members of the
class who later led discussion on the various
points they brought up. Entertainment was
provided after each of these by a little recur-
ring skit entitled, "I'll get that darned bundle
from this house if it kills us both." All hands
took the title roles at one time or another, but
we unanimously elect "Mrs. Jeff" as the most
domestic of the gamut of housewives we had
to cope with.
We took a field trip to Chicago, not in a
bus this time, but in the cars belonging to
some of the students and staff. We spent the
entire morning becoming more and more
amazed at the variety of processes going on
at the Cuneo Press. Of course the hike
through their plant reminded us of our Boy
Scout days. After lunch, for which we split
up, we met at the Daily News building and
saw how a metropolitan newspaper is pro-
duced from top to bottom and at length.
Again we separated for supper and after-
wards went through the NBC studios and
heard the Carnation Hour being broadcast.
It may have been coincidental, but we rather
suspect the statement about the "pre-shrunk"'
milk.
Our Spring Formal, better known as "just a
party," was held at the Trojan Hall and was
a howling success. Music, dancing, and gen-
eral good "spirits" prevailed. We found the
back porch still good for those tired feet and
for inhaling the fragrance of the river.
Our advertising campaigns proved to be
more work than We expected. But we worked
with a will and with the help of Paul Jones,
and despite ourselves, they were finished.
Some of our stuff turned out to be pretty
good, and some of it even usable.
We had an interesting sidelight in a trip
through the Joliet Herald-News. We started
in the advertising department and followed
the steps in making an ad from the idea
through the layout, engraving, typesetting,
mat-making, stereotyping, and finally seeing
it come rolling from the giant press. We
finally saw how the mysterious processes we
By the same token, you could move
this element down and make it a

had talked about in class actually work.
Some of the Workers in Student Laundry,
tiring of the frequency with which Gersh
sent in his "study britchesj' did a fancy job
on them one fine Monday. After they were
washed "White as snow" they were dipped
in collar starch and pressed. The Waist-band
and cuffs were fluted on the curtain fluter
in the latest laundry technique. It took two
men and a boy to fold them, but it was Worth
the trouble, because instead of sending in one
pair . . . he began sending in three.
After becoming thoroughly confused in the
mass of detail connected with Sales Control,
we finally began to see the dawn and at last
understood it to Mrs. Grady's complete satis-
faction. It Wasn't so hard after all.
Another field trip took us to the Gerlach-
Barklow Company where we saw offset print-
ing done to perfection. It proved to be a very
involved process, but H. K. Cowan got to the
bottom of it by climbing on top of an offset
press Where We found him finding out things
from the pressman.
The Illinois Laundryowners Convention
gave us another vacation, for we attended
several of the sessions and heard mighty
fine talks by Walt and Mrs. Grady.
Margaret came to school with the most
beautiful black eye you ever saw one morn-
ing, and claims to this day that they had an
automobile accident on the way to Cleveland.
She was unlike the usual woman in that she
stuck to her story.
Finally, after finals, we became graduate
salesmen and advertisers. Funny, but it
didn't feel any different. Of course, we have
more confidence in our selling ability and We
think We can at least tell a good ad from a
bad one now.

laundry accounting course
If you debit Accounts Payable, you
must credit Account 2-4 in your In-
voice Record. A
HE monotonous inactivity of registration
H day for the Accounting and Business Law
Course was interrupted by a call for arms
. . .to carry the voluminous packages of stuff
and things that every true red-ink accountant
should have in order that he may follow the
straight and narrow path of the dollars and
cents columns Cpronounced col-yumsh.
The ensuing two weeks were devoted to
teaching the "not too bright" students to
speak in the vernacular that would enable
them to direct a layman to a spot on a Balance
Sheet which would be equivalent to Chicago
and Cass Streets on the debit side of town.
The remaining six weeks were filled with
"cold facts" about expense classifications,
interspersed with weekly examinations which
seemed to enlighten the staff about the stu-
dent body's dis-enlightenment.
The legal end of the course was expertly
administered to the class in lethal doses by
Mr. J. Hinton Massey, attorney at law. Mr.
Page
Massey, in addition to being very proficient
at teaching law, was equally proficient in
instructing the cruder element in the class
regarding classroom etiquette.
The Republican element of the stai made
an attempt at regimenting the class. The at-
tempt was partially successful during the
cooler portions of the course, but summer days
brought the fiowers, the flowers brought per-
fume, and Miss House got the mumps.
It was in this course that extra-curricular
activities were at their height. We visited
the Illinois State Penitentiary at Stateville
Cas spectators, of coursej. Some of the lads
went down to the Kentucky Derby for a week-
end without much financial success, although
they still claim they were on the right horse.
Two softball games were played by the stu-
dents. The first was with the staff, in which
the students, as usual, were victorious by an
overwhelming score. The second was played
a week later with the routemen, and the
students were victorious again.

that the defendant is liable for nomi-

There was a student-staff golf match, but
We haven't been able to find out from either
side the final score.
Through it all there was an honest en-
deavor on the part of every student to put his
studies before his maniacal craving for sun-
shine, horses, and golf.
The course was brought to a glorious and
honorable end with a picnic of "red-hot" pro-
portions. Both students and stai attended,
and a good time was evidenced by the preva-
lence of sunburn and mosquito bites the next
day.
Commencement exercises were held the
evening of the last day of school and in-
cluded a swell banquet and talk. At last we
got those gold buttons which show to all the
world that we know something of the right
way of running a laundry. They do not,
however, tell any of the story of the glorious
time we've had in Joliet.
