THE ARSENAL CANNON 15 lah! 5515255 Slliciiasaj Machine Shop Mr, Buerckholtz spoke of the good work in the Machine Shop. Each boy has worked on a special problemg George Burton's four cylinder two cycle engine is one to be proud ofg Emil Kottkamp's four cylinder engine is also completedg Henry Butler's lathe is the best that has been turned out. All the boys who have made goodv and received recommendations will get plenty of work this summer. The other day, the class had a pleasent visit to the Wheeler and Schebler Carburetor Plant. The gentlemen in charge explained every detail of the C3I'bL11'StO1'7S workings. The most interesting part was the refrigerator room where a finished automobile engine is left all night in a temperature of about zero. After the motor is frozen, the carburetor is tested. So the carburetors are tested for cold weather even in the summer. During the busy season five thousand carburetors are turned out in a month. The class felt the time spent here to be well worth while. o 4 0 0.4 no 0,0 This Term A pupil caught the mumps, Before this he had the slumps, And was sent home from school, Thinking he had been a fool For letting himself get behind, All the rest of his pupils kind. So he stayed at home from school Knowing he was breaking no ruleg The only thing he thought was break- Ing, Was his jaw when it was aching, And when he did try to eat Both. his jaws commenced to beat. At last his mumps passed o'er, And he found that he was lower, Than he had ever been before, He felt like fainting to the iioor Because of the work he had in storey But he learned to shirk no more. FOREST MORGAN. 1- Wood Working In Mr. Spear's Woodworking class the boys are much farther along this year than last. They seem to be work- ing with more zeal. The boys doing the best work are: George Class, who is making a tableg Clarence Long, who is making a chair for the porch, and Robert Kline, who is making a table. These boys are nearly through with their projects and fto use slangj will have a litte time to loaf at the end of the term. Mr. Craig's Woodworking II Class is also working. Several of them have made more than one project. Fred Ammerman has made several powder boxes for his best girls and is now working on a laznp shade for a combination gas and electric lamp. He hasthe standard done and has taken it home. He is not the only boy who is working, because several whose names we could not get are working very hard. All the boys are doing their best. They are working the lathes to the full capacity of their speed. We hope that the next classes will be as industrious in both Mr. Spear's and Mr. Craig's classes. Mr. Collins says that Everett Hughes, Paul Ray, Winters Fehr, and Rollo Warren are doing the best and fastest work in the mill room while Henry Cochrane, Everett Hughes, and Rollo Warren are leaders in Architect- ural Drawing. In addition he says that his shop stars are Albert Dougherty, George Lawler, Fred Bakemeyer, Russel Durler, Neil Brigham, and' Elmer Lindstad. It is admitted all through the shops that the boys are doing the best work they have ever done. Anofther New Teacher There is to be another new teacher at Tech. Mr Edward C. Stair of Purdue is to take charge of the sum- mer gardens. He is from the agri- cultural department and is to have full charge of the gardens. Although all of us will not be here to welcome him to Tech we are glad he is coming and hope he will like our school.

14 THE ARSENAL CANNON Faculty Vacation fC0ntinued from page twoj son will attend the Terre Haute State Normal during the vacation months. Mr, Yenne intends to stay about school all summer. Upon being asked what his plans for 'the summer were Mr. Montani looked wise and said, The trouble is I can't give out my plans, they are a hideous secret. Miss Shover is going to travel comfort- ably th'is summer by sitting on the porch and looking at her post cards,iix- ing them in her album and reading her diary from last summer. Miss Hagley will be in Chicago this summer. Miss Smith has planned to spend her va- cation in New York. After going to her home in Orange, Vermont. Miss Williams will go to Maine. Mr. Schis- sel will teach swimming at a naval academy at Maxinkuckee. Miss Allen goes to Lansing, Michigan and from there to New York State. Mr. St. John will be at his home in Muscatine, Iowa this S2l7lYl'l7l67', But in September he leaves for Oxford. In October, 1913 he took an examination in Greek, Latin, and Mathematics for a Cecil Rhodes Scholarship. This scholarship holds good for three years. After receiving these scholarships the holders may elect any subject they choose. Mr. St. John expects to register in Merton College in Oxford University. Doesn't it seem queer that people who come to the same place ten months out of the year, want to scatter as soon as the twelfth of June comes. 0:4 0:0 0:0 His Title CContinued from page thirteenj much difficulty. Next he tried his prime serve. Then to his utter dis- gust, his opponent seemed to have no trouble at all in returning it. The other fellow just ate these servesg he must rely on something else. By good luck, Jeff made the score deuce. Now his title hung on one thing--that crack shot at his opponent's feet. If it worked, he was Champ g if not, he was sure to be defeated. After send- ing a hummer over the net, he ran up to receive the next ball. It came back, straight and swiftg but it found him prepared. Then with a quick glance to find where to place his shot, he slammed the ball straight at his on- ponent's feet. It went true. J eff Tracy won his title. CHARLES DAVIS. Campus at Noon fCont1lnued from page nine.1 nings, George Schultz, Chester Gray, Donald Davis and Robert Lowes. At this place excitement is always at the highest pitch, and all for this reason: Several boys get upon the landing of the printshop stairs, and when they think no one is looking, they jump off. Someone down be- low tries to catch them, and they fly around at top speed. They call this tag, but whatever it is, they enjoy themselves immensely. Otto Gardener, who takes care of the wheels, is very generous. The other day, at the noon hour, Mary Williams went around trying to bor- row a penny from some one, but her efforts were fruitless. You see she had come away from home rather hurriedly, and did not notice the fact that she had only nine pennies in- stead of ten. Well, she finally de- cided that she could get along with nine cents if it was absolutely nec- essary, so she started down to the lunch room. But when she arrived at the foot of the stairs, a brilliant idea suddenly popped into her head. She would borrow a penny from Otto. She went boldly up to him and told him of her predicament He at once produced the required penny and Mary went joyously on her way. There is one other lunching place on the ground which has not been mentioned, and that is under the cot- tonwood tree. The machine shop boys eat here, and as one is passing a jumble of four cylinders, two cycle engines. wood turning lathes, and motors, is heard all of which are bewildering to most of us. When the bell rings at 11:55, there is almost as much commotion caused by the pupils coming back into the building as there was when 'they came out. 9 0 Q 0.6 6,0 O00 Debate The history IV class gave a debate last Friday the fourth hour. Half of the class with Edward Owen as Cap- tain took the positive side and the other half with Lois Stone as Captain the negative side, it being resolved that The Canal Toll Bill should be re- pealedg the positive side winning. Miss Hagley, Charles Davis, and Leh- man Holliday were judges, and all history pupils having that hour va- 'cant came as visitors.

AN ADMIRER 0:0 0:0 0:0 Rainy Day lC0'IZf7iTZ'Zl6d from page twelve.J the dramatic qualities of the scene appealed to her imagination. You remind me of a story, she said con- temptuously. What ever it was, her ability humbled Katrinka. She con- descended to take her part in the Res- toration, when in liew Marion Winters. Oh, Katrinka, I've got your um- brella and Anne has mine. They're almost exactly alike. Th'at's your um- brella, isn't it, Anne, the one Katrinka has? Susanne, left yours at my house. As the misused Katrinka moved away she called. You can tell some stories, maybe, but you need a red parasol already that don't look like a sword. Then Mary said her wits felt like scrambled eggs, and the others thought so too.

Some days Carl Har- ris thought he could not stand to keep his garden as it was situated between Mary Jordan's and Glenn Johnson's gardens. These girls delighted in teasing Carl. He thought at first that he could not keep the garden, but he soon became used to it and learned to tease the girls as much as they teased him. It was not only these girls and Carl that liked to tease, but Mr. Sanders liked it as much! as the pupils. Every chance that he found he played some joke on one of the pupils. So having these things to cheer us up when we grew tired, all of us enjoyed this term's work greatly. FAY DOUGLAS Tact John, said Miss Shover in one of her English classes, What is a simile? John hesitated then said, I-er-I don't know. :SNOW if you said, 'My hours at school are bright as sunshine,' what figure of speech is that? asked she.
