The opportunity for materializing that spirit has become ours at L.T.I, with the inception of the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps. Now there can be produced from the halls of the Institute not only leaders in American industry but also men capable of leading the vanguard of our democracy. We proudly dedicate this yearbook to these men. ROTC L.-R.— Lt. Col. Kelley, Capt. Mesle, M Sgt. Taylor, M Sgt. Blaise, M Sgt. Hawkins, Capt. Ingersoll Y n Le Marche Grande I The L.T.I. AF ROTC program, estab- lished in 1 95 1, is one of sixty -four new units initiated at colleges throughout the United States in an effort to procure twenty-seven thousand second lieutenants for the USAF by 1955. An official release from the command states: Although it is assumed by most that graduates from a textile college would be placed in a Quartermaster unit of the Air Force, no such unit exists and no intention is so directed. Rather, placement and assignment will be effected with academic major in mind. Those graduates who have both the desire and physical requisites for duty involving flying will be assigned to a flying command com- mensurate with their requests and subject to the best interests of the service. During this first year at L.T.I., the Air Force has offered only the Air Science I course, World Political Geography, in addition to a certain amount of discipline in Leadership, Drill, and Exercise of Command which has been enthusiastically accepted by the cadets. Mandatory for freshmen, the unit has also at- tracted sixty sophomores and six juniors who intend to accelerate and otherwise extend themselves in order to compete for USAF commissions. The cadets have been under the guidance of M Sgt. Hawkins for Leadership and Drill, and under Captains Mesle and Ingersoll for World Political Geography. Although at present it serves in lieu of the forthcoming USAF Academy as a principle source of junior officers, it is the desire of the ROTC to develop within the cadet, bv precept and example, those qualities of character and leadership necessary for the formation of good citizenship. Lt. Colonel W. E. Kelley, Professor of Air Science and Tactics, is high in his praise of the Cadet Corps, which has been very suc- cessful in its first military activities, parades, rifle team, and Military Ball. He is looking forward to an outstanding AF ROTC pro- gram here at L.T.I. President ' s Message It is entirely fitting that the 1952 PICKOUT be dedicated to the Air Force Reserve Officers ' Training Corps, which this year has become an integral part of the Institute. The PICKOUT, now publishing its forty-sixth edition, is one of the oldest traditions of L.T.I.; and it is most appropriate that it recognize the ROTC, which although still in its infancy has had a definite and beneficial effect upon undergraduate life at Lowell. The members of the Class of 1952 will soon leave the Institute to become part of an industry which is experiencing extensive and fundamental changes. During the past four years every effort has been made to ensure that the members of the class are adequately prepared to meet the needs of this industry. They have studied their course work in lecture halls and laboratories under the tutelage of men who are eminently qualified in their profession, and who have dedicated their lives to the cause of teaching their specialties. They have had an opportunity to study the fundamentals and refinements of their curricular specialties with the aid of some of the most modern scientific and technological equipment and ma- chinery available anywhere. They have experienced the beginnings of a new program to develop the ethical, moral, social, and cultural standards of under- graduates preparing for careers in a complex and transitional economy. The mem- bers of this class have had the privilege of attending the Institute during a period when it has undergone rapid and far-reaching changes— changes which duplicate in miniature the vicissitudes and vagaries of industry. In the years to come, I am sure that the members of the current graduating class will count among their blessings the adaptability to change and the ambition for progress which they learned as students at L.T.I. To the young men and young women of the Class of 1952, 1 extend my most sincere best wishes for a happy and successful future. You have done well during the course of your studies at the Institute and for the successful completion of these courses you have my heartiest congratulations. Your progress and growth here may be compared to the development of textiles from raw stock to finished product, and since you now constitute such a product, you will be subject to evaluation and appraisal by industry, government, and society. I have no doubt that your worth in all respects will always be rated high, and that you will be exemplary alumni of the Lowell Textile Institute. Yours is the opportunity to bring leadership to a restless and changing world. I know that you will supply this leadership and will meet the c hallenges of the future with courage, con- fidence, intelligence, and success. 4-u tz 0.. WENTWORTH WILLIAMS, Dean of Sfudenis G.

B Dig that beat us? 15 From all over the world there were students focusing their attention on a series of buildings known as Lowell Textile Institute. From their very first get-together they took with them the wisdom and knowledge of the men who ori- ented them upon their arrival. During this formative period they were presented with a program of meetings, lectures, and conferences which were expressly designed to acquaint them with the ancient an d primeval traditions of a world-famous institution of learning. One of the newest innovations to present itself on the scene was the formation of an Air Force R.O.T.C. unit on September i, 1951. The freshmen are the first class in L.T.I, history to be enrolled in a unit of this kind. They will no doubt be flying within the year. Our mid-term exams came at this time, and their results gave us the opportunity to find out exactly how we were doing. Nevertheless, the marks were astonishing in one way or another. The All-Textile Formal, which featured Freddy Martin, was the next big social event on the calendar. Many of the freshmen at- tended, and all returned, some with stories. We proved to be a spirited class as many of our members went out for the rifle, soccer, and basketball teams. Many in our ranks enriched the TEXT and PICKOUT staffs also. In the early part of December an Open House was held at the Institute, and Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer gave a stirring address at the Memorial Auditorium. After returning from a pleasant fourteen- day Christmas vacation, we started studying for our final exams. For many of us they exempli- fied finality and futility. Some of us tried to study by a method known as osmosis, which entails the absorbing of knowledge by sitting on the technical book in question. Fortunately, few of us employed this method, most of us choosing to use the ancient method of appli- cation and concentration. However, the ma- jority of the freshmen survived the finals, and eighteen of us were on the Dean ' s list. The first semester closed with most of us gaining a greater insight into what the undertaking of a college education means. The new semester started off with the Mili- tary Ball, the first event of its kind in Textile history. Many of the faculty appeared in high brass attire, and a grand time was had by all of us. The freshmen class realizes its poten- tialities, and hopes to use its initiative in taking over the responsibilities which lie ahead.

The formal school program began on Sep- tember 17, 1 95 1, a memorable and confusing day for most of us. The professional Casanovas soon learned that college life at Lowell does not comprise one social whirl after another. While the work given at Textile is difficult, it is still quite absorbing; and most of us will agree that studying pays off in good grades. After the first few weeks of school were over, we stopped wearing elbow grooves in the desk long enough to explore the fraternity life on campus. Many wonderful stag and date parties were held in the various houses, and the fraternities showed themselves to be the center of the social activities of the Institute. Many of us accepted fraternity bids and labored under the steel fists of the pledge captains and their henchmen. The election of our class officers was an- other important event of the first semester. The campaigns included speeches, posters, and If I am elected a broad schedule of activities will appear. The freshman smoker climaxed the electioneering, and we were indeed honored to have as our guest speaker, Swede Nelson, former football great. When the balloting was over, Piet Bodenhorst had been elected presi- dent; Lew Silverman, vice president; Floyd Frank, treasurer; and Elaine Kenney, secretary. Robert Hall was elected as class representative to the Student Council. Back row: Strzelewicz, Longer, Sawyer, Ectman, Palm, Hayes, Goulston, McNamara, Ricard, Donovan, Hince, Petkiewicz, Samaras.

Grant Vice-President Larry Horowitz Treasurer Sid Solkoff The Southland gave birth to the blues I He ' ll never know that I copied it. As fiber goes to fabric, so goes the student through his various stages of development at Lowell Textile Institute. The Class of 1954, intent with purpose and familiar with its sur- roundings, is concentrating on the fulfillment of that purpose. Last year, as Freshmen, we groped about in this new experience called college. But in our second vear we have taken hold and many of our achievements have already been imprinted on college life at L.T.I. The growing sentiment that our school is going places has been in- stilled in us; and we feel that, as a class, we are helping ourselves by helping the school gain the recognition it deserves. We are proud to be associated with numer- ous material advancements such as our beau- tiful, new library; the spacious Paper and Leather Building; new administration, which includes the ambitious and conscientious ' Dean of Students; our national recognition and honor, particularlv our acknowledgment by the Engineers Council For Professional De- velopment; and the establishment of an Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps unit at L.T.I. Many sophomores may be seen trudg- ing around the school in the snappy blue uni- form of the Cadet Corps. Our class will have the distinction of sending out into the world the first officers to receive their commission from this school. The class elections were hody contested last year and after several close run-offs our class emerged with a fine group of officers, who have been carrying out their duties exceed- ingly well. During this election period, we once again found the halls of Textile strewn with posters depicting college life after said candidates were elected. When questioned about the beautiful girls on their posters, the officers promise their prompt arrival. So much red tape, you know. But in spite of the lack of a multitude of beautiful co-eds, the present officers have demonstrated their capabilities and have done much to enhance the reputation and contributions of the Class of 1954 to the school. One of the biggest events of the fall term was an L.T.I. - L.T.C. dance sponsored by our class under the capable auspices of Willy Grant and Steve Adler. Much enthusiasm was shown by the whole school for this dance, and Back row: Gottschalk, Manoila, Leventhal, Greenhall, Cryan, Berkowitz, Ducharme, Kimmell, Berman, Hamilton. Second row: Nichols, Appelbaum, Ginsburgh, Brown, Kao, Bonacci, Genereux, Smith, C, Robbins. First row: Laurion, Kupferschmid, Grant, Horowitz, Adler, Solkoff. Swift, Kinney. Berlyn. 51 it turned out to be a huge success. One of the main attractions of the evening was the novelty dance. Here the prize was copped by Godwin Meniru and his date. Another major fall event was the All-Tex- tile Formal. A large percentage of our class attended this affair, and our own Bill Gabriel and his date were crowned the King and Queen. Extra-curricular interest runs hi gh in our class as shown by its active participation in every athletic activity and club in the school. Our teams, basketball, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse, have all advanced with the advent of many able athletes from the Sophomore Class, who have donned the red and black of Textile and have led her teams to a multitude of victories. Our main objective is to succeed; but our eventual success will be brought about only by hard, conscientious work and by the effi- cient methods we are learning at the Institute. Our purpose at college is the development of our minds and attitudes to the extent that we shall be qualified to meet the responsibilities of the textile industry. It may seem to an outsider that this class is like any others that pass through the doors of Textile, but in the inside circles it is felt that the Class of 1954 contains students of high caliber that may be readily fabricated into the future textile executives of tomorrow. -f 7 Bock row: Uffner, Ettenson, tind, Scarborough, Oxer, Steinsapir, French, Baevsky.

Juniors President John L. Devereaux Secretary Neil MacLellan Vice-President Warren P. McHugh Treasurer Charles Darsch A lecture charged with dynamic interest. The class of 1953 returned to begin their Junior year at Textile with the conviction that if they had succeeded in getting through the first half, they could manage to pull through in the second half of their four years at L.T.I. Many felt that the roughest years had passed, while others felt that the many outside inter- ests they had picked up during their first two years would make the task of sitting down to some honest studying a difficult one. Many of the outside interests of the jun- iors are found to be the contributing factors in forming the background of student activities on campus. In every organization, society, fra- ternity, and athletic team, members of the class of 1953 are found in high and respected positions. Among those unexpected events that preyed on this class was the edict causing most of the students to take up residence in the dor- mitories. Sophomores expected the action, but juniors were caught unawares. Of course, it was not long before the seniors were ensnared and asked to move in. When that happened, no one could support an argument that the juniors alone were being persecuted. Of course, there were many who escaped the long cor- ridors and tiled bathrooms of Smith Hall. Prominent among this group are the local resi- dents. A large minority of the Junior Class are proud citizens of Lowell, and of the Greater Lowell Area. Also among the escapees were the men who were living in the four fraternity houses. In some houses, where formerly it had been a chore to fill all the vacancies, a sudden rush and overabundance of tenants ensued. It was not long before the houses were accom- modating more men than they could handle. The Dean then heard from the landladies who were losing their customers while the State was gaining them. Some of the boys found studying a little more difficult under the new conditions, but the majority accepted the privi- lege to live out of the dormitories. Then came the first semester final exams. That was the time when the Juniors found out the real meaning of persecution. More complexes arose from these exams than a cer- tain psychology professor could interpret in a semester. But on the whole, the class survived and a minimum of failures resulted. The sec- ond semester was started by the old pledge that this is The Semester, and everyone gets down to business. We won ' t be able to start in until after the ball season is over first, and then it will be spring, and so . . . well, we ' ll do some of the homework ourselves. Most classes had a vacation between semes- ters. Not so for this class. With two Testing reports due the week we returned and an assortment of cotton, wool, and worsted reports also due that week, it was scarcely a vacation for the slaves of the Junior Class. The second semester was enjoyed by all, Back row: Randall, Freeman, Peltekian, Demos, Brandt, Grubman, Gosselin, Carolan, Froehlich, Greenberg, Haralampopoulos.

They were forced into operating the American builder motion at 8:30 on Saturday morning. Some were luckier and had courses with instructors that enjoyed golf more than (CENSORED), (to protect the innocent, bless him!). The All-Tex formal was hardly under our belts (and debts paid off), when the Military Ball was upon us. This was followed a few months later by the fraternity induction for- mats, which filled out the schedule of major social events. The Juniors found this year ' s pledge class a little less desirous of taking the stuff they had to dish out. They also found that the desire for retaliation was not as strong as before. This year the sophs had their fun. In an article such as this, it is only fitting that the names of the officers of this outstand- ing class be mentioned. If space permitted, we would do more than merely mention their names. However, as this is not the case, here they are: President, John Devereaux; Vice- president, Warren McHugh; Secretary, Neil MacLellan; and Treasurer, Charles Darsch. As the Juniors look to next year they begin to realize that the Joe College life they have been leading must now assume a more serious air. Next year will bring employment inter- views, applications for graduate school; and for those selected, the Armed Forces.

Yesterday ' s experiences and today ' s memories are gone sooner than we think. What will be the answer to the query, What did you do in college? Those things that affected us directly will be recalled easily, but what of the rest? At first glance. Alma Mater appeared glamorous merely because she represented the College Daze ahead. There was the huge brick building referred to by some as the Yellow Horror. Across the street the lot was naked of grass and quite rocky. Smith Hall was newly completed and Eames Hall almost finished. Rocks and rubble littered the lot with a mixture of steel rods, concrete blocks, a temporary car- penters shop, and a timekeeper ' s shack. In one corner beside an im- mense pile of dirt, a hugh billboard proclaimed the prowess of Messrs. Krokyn and Browne. On the river side of the school beyond the muddy parking area, a small dirt-covered road led out onto the Dracut Dike. On the other side, the athletic field was covered with cinders but was in good shape otherwise. Colonial Avenue was then a narrow road running along the river. But all this in one small spot could be disheartening . . . there were many fine things ahead of us. The Pawtucketville Social Club was yet to be discovered (and the bar was then stretched across the back of the room). We never were to know the rigors of Ma Swanson ' s grease pit, long famed in song and gastric ulcers. The new cafeteria was accepted almost matter-of-factly. For most of us this was also a year of firsts . . . college . . . new friends . . . Moody Street and the Cot . . . Wednes- day dances at the Commodore . . . but the biggest of all these was Fresh- man Hazing. Stigmatized by the red and black cranium covers, multi- tudinous were the brachycephalic pates seething with ideas for future revenge against the Sophs. Many were the slip-sticks nosed across the vast expanses of the cafeteria floor under the impetus of those seemingly ruthless martinets. (You see we also took English 101.) Happy were the hearts as we marched downtown to Kearney Square under the lead- ership of our tormentors. How our hearts sang when we sat on the steps of the Sun Building and removed our shoes, tied them together, and saw them tossed into the middle of the intersection. THE B — ■ — ! All this was ended when on Freshman-Sophomore Field Day the upperclassmen suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the novices. This ended any differences between the classes, and the life at Textile really began in earnest. Once started, the years passed swiftly. Life in the dorm was invigorating, to say the least. To a good lusty shout one could count eleven distinct echoes. This was the year that Jim Bell started getting that distinguished touch of gray at the temples. Our prime objective was to get a good basic knowledge with which to face the future . . . how to sleep through Survey of Textiles without being cramped in the neck . . . learning never to split an infinitive unless ready to face the fate worse than death . . . how to avoid Prof. Chace ' s flying bits of chalk when snoozing in chem lecture . . . but there was a more serious side to our life at Textile. There was the acclimatization to the college way of life . . . getting to thinking for ourselves . . . ready- ing ourselves for the midnight math that the upperclassmen assured us was inevitable. They forgot to mention chemistry and physics. rn£3jiii] , -55 1 Biff nnniHLin m «g iMM 1 - -4 v :?ia f L - - i. -.- ' ?c—  ---:s _ II -jjl II As the year passed and things began to function more smoothly, the wall-eyed look of fright passed from our eyes, and we began to enjoy the social life at Textile. The first annual All-Tex Formal was held in our soph year . . . the Fraternity smokers and parties . . . the first football game (we beat New England College) . . . Christmas punch in Prof. Rosatto ' s office (unspiked — the punch, that is) ... and the homeward exodus. After the holidays, the campus was unusually serene; a newfound quiet seemed to permeate all . . . semester finals were at hand . . . many were the famous last words, oh hell, he won ' t ask us that, he didn ' t spend ten minutes on if. After the usual double flags in math and, of course, chem and physics, the second semester saw most of us buckling down to the books. As the weather grew warmer, the lot in front of the dorm was just muddy enough to play baseball on . . . blankets appeared on the roof of Smith Hall and many students caught pneu- monia in the belief that they were getting a tan. In Southwick Hall, the heart-felt histrionics of the Players foretold of the annual produc- tion. The day dawned bright and clear; not a bit of foul weather marred the sky. To those heads that could see through the bloodshot eyes caused by the Senior Stag the night before, Upstream Day l ooked in- viting. Up at Canobie Lake Park, the Faculty-Senior Ball Game saw Prof. Edlund catching as usual, cigar in mouth, with Pres. Fox on first and the ' regulars in their places. The lake was dotted with canoes rented with the injunction that there was to be no swimming. One of the eager freshmen was hauled off the rollercoaster for throwing full beer cans from it . . . can ' t waste beer!!! The year closed with usual plans to get together during the summer and or to write . . . few of which ever matured. After our lolling about in some cool weave shed for the summer, L.T.I, looked very inviting to us. Some things had been added, some taken away. The new lounge in Eames Hall was second to none, and the snack bar was a feature that captured many hearts. Mr. Krokyn and Mr. Browne were acclaimed no more. Eames Hall was complete, and the area in front of the dorms was cleared of all that we had stumbled over for a year. There was a whole new lot of innocent fresh- men to be hazed ... a new Rules and Regulations Book laid down the decrees for this. It was noted that there were many restrictions covered in this Bible that indicated things to come. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to walk about the place without peering intently for a number on the door. High above the entrance to the quadrangle, there was a scaffolding reaching up to the roof. L.T.I, was having a minor face-lifting job. When the wraps were at last removed, large gilt letters proclaimed the eminence of LOWELL TEXTILE INSTITUTE, and, below it, SOUTHWICK HALL. Inside the building, the gym also had a face lifting and was replete with a resurfaced floor; the chicken coop was missing, and in its place were well padded posts. The old scorekeeper ' s platform was gone, and a new electric clock scoreboard was on the wall. The old classroom outside the entrance to Kitson Hall was absent, and in its place were the Dean ' s new offices. All this gave rise to the thought, Maybe this place IS inhabited during the summer after all! Now that we were sophomores, we decided really to buckle down to work in order to get out of those finals that had caused so much v ' grief. Naturally, time was taken out to haze the new Frosh class; but the old zip was gone, and this soon stopped. The Last Annual Field Day was held, but its brightness was marred by the serious injury to one of the freshmen. The Sophs were beaten; and the whole conception of Field Day, the good-natured hazing, passed entirely out of the picture at L.T.I. This was the year of the Fashion Show, often recalled in tones of reverence. For the first time, Southwick Hall was willingly packed during a convocation. The floor of the hall was covered with a fabric runway . . . from out of what is now the AF ROTC supply office came beautiful women dressed in the latest fashions of the day . . . evening gowns . . . bathing suits . . . cocktail wear . . . summer dresses . . . bathing suits. This also was the year that the dance band made its big debut. They certainly enlivened the night at many a dance during the year. Henry Thomas showed the boys how When Irish Eyes Are Smiling should be played in the proper backroom style. This year also saw the birth and death of the L.T.I. Glee Club. The plans for the new Library were announced, but in typical fashi on we all decided that things moved so slow around here that we would see its opening at our 20th class reunion. How wrong we were!!! Dean Simon Williams was gone; and in his place, doing the same kind of fine work, was Dr. G. Nathan Reed. The lot in front of the dorms was again cluttered up with the necessary materials for our new Library . . . bulldozers tore up the ground and a tunnel from Eames Hall was made . . . the foundations of the new building were being poured, and four freshmen disappeared. They were never seen again . . . R.I. P. The excellence of the new facilities at L.T.I, was brought to mind when the new lounge in Eames Hall was found closed. Oh! How long and loud were the cries of distress as the knowledge became common. No more ping-pong. What a fate!! But when the lounge did re-open, a new respect served to remind us that it was only a short time ago that all these things weren ' t around . . . and as the Friendly Dean told us, It ' s all for your own good, fellows. Many faces were missing at Textile this year . . . math again, I suppose . . . the football team had a year of mixed wins and losses and a definite plurality of injuries . . . these were the preludes to the death march for football at Textile. Christmas came and went in the usual fashion, preceding the desolation of the semester finals in the time honored manner. And with the advent of the second semester came one of the best Hell Weeks on record . . . one of the best dances, celebrated on St. Valentine ' s Day . . . Swede Nelson spoke at the Sports Night. The Players again showed the blood of the Bard of Avon in their excellent performance and dance weekend . . . this was the last time that the players held a dance after the show . . . another tradition gone. Upstream Day heralded the close of the school year, and again the renovators inhabited the Institute. For probably the first time in thirty years, the outward changes in Lowell Textile Institute would knock you over . . . wha hoppen? Here, where the mire and mess of the construction had caused the aesthetes to shudder was an expanse of green lawn . . . the outside of the Library was up, and only the timekeeper ' s shack reminded us that it was still in building. iliim ■ hife ITT ' .- ' ■• - - 1 A new parking area between the dorms provided (at least for a time) ample parking room for all . . . the old dirt road out onto the dike was gone, and in its place a new super highway was in the making . . . you heard the guff about PLEASE-EXCUSE-THE- INCONVENIENCE-BUT-WE ' RE-GOING-TO-SHUT-THOSE- DAMN-NEW YORKERS-UP-ABOUT-OUR-ROADS. The ever- greens that Dutch Lewis had so painstakingly planted were flourishing by the steps of the dorms. Within the Powers that Be, the very capable Ken Fox had stepped out and in his place came the similarly capable Martin Lydon. To perform the duties of our Friendly Dean came the Clean Dean, Went- worth Williams. Offices had received a minimum of changes during the summer, and much else was the same. Did I say the same? . . . Nothing was the same. ... I should live so long as to see the day when the frosh should be treated as equals without first proving themselves. . . . No beanies . . . none of the use of the back door . . . the new Bible protected them as a doe does a fawn. The Bible went even further than that. An entirely new cut system was outlined that was the ultimate in keeping the administrative finger on the pulse of the student body. At least it was then considered the last word. For the first time in the memory of the Infamous Class of 1952 attendance records were kept. There was a bit of muttering about this new plan, but it eventually died down as it always does. Fraternity Softball was due for a downfall since the old field beside the Cotton Lab. was now the site of the new Paper and Leather Building . . . many indeed were the changes this year. The war in Korea had everyone on edge and nerves were worn to a frazzle. All these disquieting factors were due to be allayed when the word was passed that a special convocation was scheduled in the gym. We all waited patiently for the earthshaking news to be relayed. The new Clean Dean strode out to the podium (and the word is used advisedly), resplendent in his degree-wise robes. He spoke in a well- modulated voice . . .we are at the point of no return (not quoted) . . . IT ' S LATER THAN YOU THINK. And at this time Dean G. Nathan Reed has some very important news for you. This then was the moment we had awaited. In fearless vowels and intrepid conso- nants, we were told to watch the morrow ' s paper for the news, the GOOD NEWS, concerning our draft status . . . once again we could look the future in the eye. On the following day as we feverishly rushed to the local news stand to scan the local Daily Blab . . . THERE! . . . emblazoned across the top of the page were the words . . . EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLDS TO BE DRAFTED!!! Thank God for our newspapers. But in spite of all the furor about the new policies, most of us accepted them, although unable perhaps to see the wisdom in them, and accepted them in good faith. One good look around will show that perhaps all the griping was unwarranted. The year passed as it so often does . . . Christmas came and passed . . .

Upon our return this year the above nouns (they are nouns, aren ' t they? Better check with Louis.) seemed pallid. The lawn in front of the buildings were as green as those used by Russ Brown, Jr., during his wool lectures out at Tyngsboro last spring. The new library was complete. During the summer Joe K. and his staff had moved all the books from the natty nook in the Chemistry Building to the new knowledge Hacienda across the street. What a change from the old balconied place to the new balconied place! Offices for every student organization ... no one was left out . . .

Upon first seeing the cadets one supposed that the Grey- hound Company had scheduled its convention here, but a second look indicated that the mail carriers were congregated ... all fooling aside, the AF ROTC has done a grand job here at Textile. ... It may be that it has more than filled the void left by the passing of frosh hazing and Field Day. The lads really look snappy as they march down the street to the beat of the new band . . . hats off to that, too! Poor Rita McKenna was at her wit ' s end when the new laws started to take effect. No one really believed that they would flunk be- cause of excessive absences . . . but the New Dean stuck to his guns, and because of it, there is a notable drop in cuts, even in Textile Mar- keting. . . . Since Saturday classes (now a real- ity) did not affect the seniors, we could sleep on that day (but few would sleep at home on the other mornings, which in the past was one of the greatest incentives to being. a senior).

All that we had come to know and care for were over. Naturally most of us are worried about the draft . . . the advice is to try and get a job anyway . . . but most realize what a mess the world is in. We eventually will have to serve some time in the Armed Forces, as indeed we should. But the big ques- tion now is, Is now the time to do it? All these things pass through our minds as we near the end of our time at Textile. In the years to come, our recollections of college will be a bit vague. They will probably present a pleasant picture . . . some will recall one thing . . . some another. But one thing is certain; all of us are proud to have been able to go to Lowell Textile Institute ... to have grad- uated from it ... to have witnessed the greatest growth in its history. This spirit of growth will not cease if twenty years from now we can remember what we did in college. 35 1 M?;. K W- ' - l A. iV V ot S ■ 1 1 W Jj Mi :% %d. i a5 i Eventful r.

Because it is the campus lead- er, it places an even higher pride in its efforts and accomplishments. Furthermore, this pride in its attainments has been instrumental in its striving to bring to L.T.I, the ultimate in co- operation among the phases of relations be- tween administration and students, faculty and students, and students and students. It was not too long ago that the Council was initiated. Only five years separate this present Council from the original one. Since its inception the Student Council has grown from infancy to its present position as campus leader. It has done so mainly through coopera- tion—probably the most important factor in the development of any organization. The Council is composed of twelve stu- dents and three faculty advisers. The four chair officers are elected in a general school- wide election held in the spring. Three class presidents and the same number of class rep- resentatives are chosen in elections which fol- low. The Council is completed when the Freshman Class elects its two representatives in the fall. The faculty advisers are elected by the Council for terms of one year. They serve ■at meetings only in an advisory nature, and take no part in voting so that ultimate decisions are reached by students alone. The Council serves in a threefold capac- ity: First, it is an administrative body; second, it is a legislative body; and third, it is a judicial board. The blending together of these three departments into one harmonious group often- times becomes difficult, and its aims may not be clear to a superficial glance; but, they al- MEMBERS OF STUDENT COUNCIL Douglas F.

Sign here. ways follow a constant train of thought— that of continually improving conditions and secur- ing the best possible results. The Council has been growing slowlv but steadily. In its five years, it has enacted manv policies that other student governments have not been able to effect in longer periods of time. To be sure, this has onlv been possible because of the cooperation that the Council has received from all with whom it has come in contact. The accomplishments of the Stu- dent Council should not be measured bv the zeal of the elected group but rather- by this degree of cooperation that it has attained. This year the Council has sponsored many activities. Once again, the All-Textile Formal in November headlined social activities here at L.T.I. Congregating at a different 47 Suffrage came in, years ago. location than in previous years, the largest crowd ever to attend an All-Tex Formal, two hundred and fifty, danced to the music of Freddy Martin and his orchestra. A Freshman Smoker was held for the first time this year under the Council ' s sponsorship. Freshman campaign speeches were delivered by the hopeful candidates, and Swede Nelson, the principal speaker, gave a highly interest- ing talk to those present. The program for the annual Christmas Convocation was supervised by the Council. Only Textile talent was used for the first time since this assembly was started. Never before had the Christmas season been rushed in with such spirit and fervor. Not to be overlooked was the students ' part in the Open House Weekend which was handled by the Council. At the present time, the Council is work- ing on a completely new phase of Student Government activity which is designed to re- lieve the group of its grievance procedures. A Student Judiciary Board will be formed and its advent on the Textile scene will add much to the overall soundness of the student govern- ment program. Although still in its formative years, the Student Council of Lowell Textile Institute has definitely established itself as the most important organization on the campus. To establish itself as the recognized representative of the student body— the student ' s voice in the administration of the school— is the immediate job of the Student Council. Once this goal is reached, the task of making Lowell Textile Institute a truly student-governed school will be nearer completion.

May we tell you something about our yearbook-THE PICKOUT? A yearbook, yes —but something more— it has progressed from the position of a senior publication, which it was until the ' 48 issue, to that of an all-college yearbook, the price of which is included in the Student Fee. A resume of all extra-cur- ricular activities at the Institute is its main contribution to Textile. It differs from most yearbooks, in that as it is distributed to the entire student body, and consequently it be- comes a record of each year spent at L.T.I. When the senior leaves, he has four yearbooks, between whose covers are his record of the years of study and fun, the names and the faces, and the entire activities of the college in picture and prose. In publishing an annual such as the PICKOUT, a great deal of hard work and earnest cooperation is involved, both from the assistants and from the editors. From the idea to the printed word, from the posing to the picture, and from the business letter to the check for advertising space all entails much planning. All of this combined with the multi- tude of seemingly unsurmountable details, go into the finished product of our yearbook. Of course, at the end of the college year, the fruits of hard work bring pride and joy to all concerned. When the yearbook has been distributed, history has been made, for an- other year ' s activities have been recorded per- manently to be treasured and revered by all. Then there is the annual PICKOUT Banquet, long remembered by all members who attend. After a delicious dinner, Prof. R. M. Fox, Guardian Angel of the book, awards the cov- eted Pickout Keys to deserving members of the staff. Truly, such a work as our yearbook, which covers all Textile functions, adds much to col- lege life for those who participate in its crea- tion. In years to come, what a pleasure a textile man will get in sitting down and reviewing his four years spent on the banks of the Merrimack. The Pickout Board is the executive bodv of this yearbook ' s staff and is responsible for all policies, ways and means, planning, and decisions which go into the organization of this publication. Members of the Board include the Editor- in-Chief, Sherman Lein, and Business Man- ager, Parker Longbottom, who act as Chairman and Vice-Chairman, respectivelv. In addition, there are representatives from the various stu- dent groups: Pat Liston from the co-eds; George Gosselin of the Interfraternitv Council; Nick Liacopoulos, Class of ' 52; Mike Dielen- dick, Class of ' 53; Jerry Oxer, Class of ' 54; and Elaine Kenney, Class of ' 55. As Faculty Adviser, Professor Russell M. Fox renders invaluable counsel to the Board. Pickout keys are warded each year to members of the staff who perform outstand- ingly in their capacities. It is the privilege of the Board to make these awards which are presented at the Annual Pickout Banquet. 53 Text Kg merman - Back row: Becker, M., Grill, Leventhal, Carolon, Ganz, Adler.

A I They expect me to do all this? 56 The TEXT, the undergraduate news- paper of the Lowell Textile Institute, had its origin in 191 9 when an energetic group of students attempted to record current happen- ings around the school. Since then, it has grown slowly under the careful supervision of capable editors and faculty advisers to become the sounding board of the Institute. At its inception, a large portion of the contents of the paper were excerpts from trade publications relative to the textile industry. Only minor points of interest within the stu- dent body were printed. Gradually, however, as student life at L.T.I, increased in scope, student news assumed greater importance and was given its deserved qota of space on the pages of the TEXT. With the advent of World War II, the TEXT went out of publication for a number of years until, in 1947, a group of students worked diligently to publish a new type of paper, its foundation being the interests of the students as a whole. Naturally, the TEXT suffered many set-backs; all to be attributed to growing pains. Since 1947, the paper was improved each year, until, today, it proudly lives up to its constituted objectives. The chief objectives of the TEXT are to publish for the best interests of the Lowell Textile Institute, the student body, and the student organizations all news items and topics of discussion concerning the administration, students, and organizations. The commencement of the 1951-52 year found Miriam Rogers as Editor-in-Chief and William Lynch taking over the duties of Busi- ness Manager. As a team, they have endeav- ored to produce a paper that every student looks forward to receiving. The paper has become the medium through which all school activities are publicized, and it is the reviewing- stand for all matters pertinent to the Institute. Being a member of the TEXT staff is not all work. The annual banquet has always been considered just recompense for the year ' s toil. The knowledge gained in newswriting and business methods will always be an asset to the staff members. The most talked about issue of each year is the Pink Issue, which comes out on April ' s Fool Day. At this time, the rule book is tossed to the wind and every article becomes a play on words. The theme of this issue is generally a prominent topic of conversation for many weeks afterwards. Cooperation, initiative, and good fellow- ship are invaluable to every student taking part in the functioning of a student organiza- tion. The TEXT offers this and more to each of its members.

From their inception, the Players have presented annually one major production —the event of the school year. Minstrel shows were presented in the early years of the group. In 1923, this policy was changed to that of presenting leading Broadway comedies, and this has been the custom of the Players ever since. The Players were originally an all-male organization, with the male students imper- sonating female roles in the productions. The influx of co-eds saw a change in this custom when in 1947, for the first time, women stu- dents portrayed the female parts in the plays. Among the more recent hits were THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1950), JOHN LOVES MARY (1949), and ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (1947). Perhaps the outstanding social event of the Textile Players is the annual banquet, held each spring after the plav. At this ban- quet the traditional Player ' s key award is pre- sented to members who have been outstanding in their work during the year. This award has grown to be a highly cherished token of achievement at the Institute. This year ' s Play- ers have conducted a membership drive and party for freshmen, and the annual Christmas Party for orphans. Officers for 1951-52 are Richard Beals, President; Margaret Peters, Vice-President; Georgina Kinney, Secretary; and Donald Wark, Treasurer. Richard Beals has very ca- pably filled the position vacated bv the Plavers last year ' s President, Arthur Green. The 1 95 1 production, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, was warmly received by a large audience at Lowell ' s State Theater on April 27.

Stranded because of an injury at the home of the Stanleys, played by Ruth Denio and Irwin Ames, Whiteside was forced to stand the ministerings of a decrepit hoss-doctor, Richard Beals, and of a conscientious, prudish nurse, Florence Liston. Visits to the great man were paid by Bertram Feinberg as the cock- roach authority, Professor Metz; Arwilda Grant as Lorraine Sheldon, beautiful and se- ductive movie actress; Thomas O ' Leary, British playwright and man of the worjd; and Charles Little as Banjo, a comedian on the loose. Chaos in the Stanley home was caused by the White- side-nurtured actions of the Stanley children, played by Bruce Dickinson and Georgina Kinney; daughter ' s disfavored boy friend, Edward Dudgeon; the domestics of the house- hold, David Abrahams and Frances Coakley; and the eccentric sister, Joan Gregg. Com- plicating the Man ' s plans were Margaret Peters as his secretary, and her paramour, Arthur Green, a local newspaperman. Other members of the cast included Miriam Rogers, Donald Wark, Edward Bonacci, Arnold Hor- witch, Leonard Goodman, Philip Haley, Paul Girouard, Robert Sumers, Richard Eklund. A highlight of the play were the performances of two convicts from the Crockfield Home, better known to the students of L.T.I, as Pro- fessors Ernest James and Andrew Ouellette. The Star The frantic shenanigans on the stage were once again held together by the competent directorial hand of Mrs. Virginia Cyr. Every due consideration and credit must be given the stage crew and to those whose creative ideas helped to make the set as eye-appealing as it turned out to be. It would not be correct to end without giving a hearty handshake to those deserving individuals, off-stage as well as behind the footlights, who promoted the interests of the plav as much as they did.

Thirty years ago, the Alembic Society was Textile ' s chemical organization. On the sixteenth of December, 1922, this group disbanded and then reorganized as the first student chapter of the A.AT.C.C. Dr. Louis A. Olnev had founded the parent organi- zation the year before to establish channels through which professional knowledge could be interchanged and research encouraged in the fields of textile chemistry and dyeing. Three decades have passed; and now there are nine student chapters, each being affiliated with an educational institution of established standing and principally engaged in a course of study leading to employment in the chemi- cal division of the textile industry. Their members are privileged to attend all the gen- eral and sectional meetings of the A.AT.C.C, which fosters the intellectual stimulus that arises from professional association.

Three years ago, recognition was received from the Intercollegiate Chemical Society, an organiza- tion composed of the chemical societies in Greater Boston colleges. The I.C.S. has spon- sored an extensive technical and social program. The spring of 1951 saw the students spon- sor a joint meeting with the A.A.T.C.C. ' s Northern New England Section at which technical papers were presented by some of the graduate students. Movies on textile sub- jects became an integral part of the regular business meetings. The interesting and in- formative field trips to textile and allied chemi- cal plants livened the organization ' s activities. Such leading men in the Textile world as Dr. Harold Stiegler and Frank J. O ' Neil addressed the Seminar groups.

From its beginning, the purposes of this organization have been to further the interests and education of the students participating in the engineering courses, to develop proper perspective of engineering work, and to promote good fel- lowship through the informal exchange of ideas. During the school year of 1921-22, the organization became a student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This affiliation later proved to be impractical and participation with this group was suspended. Down through the years the Engineering Society has presented to its members many worthwhile talks from outstanding men in the textile and engineering fields. Up until this year the organization has also planned mill trips for its members. These mill trips were aimed at broadening the students ' understand- ing of the fundamentals of textile processing by giving them a chance to see them in actual operation.

In the Fall of 1950, an Industrial Clinic was held in Eames Hall at which four outstanding speakers were heard. The outstanding event of this year was the series of informal meetings which were held at the fraternity houses. Among the topics that were heard were the following: A Comparison of British Textile Schools and Lowell Textile Institute by Christopher Chance, who was attending L.T.I, under an exchange agreement; Flock Coating given by Warren Mann; and Carpets by Robert 01- ney. A color motion picture on rope manufac- turing as done at the Plymouth Cordage Com- pany was also shown.

In less than three months ' time, the band, led bv Mr. Bernie Larkin, and com- posed of both members and non-members of the ROTC, has grown from a mere handful of students to an aggregation of forty hard- working, well-organized musicians. Practice makes perfect. . The band was formed by the ROTC staff with the idea of providing suitable music during parades and review ceremones; but because of the school ' s response to the organi- zation, it has also played at functions such as convocations, rallies, and sports events. The review ceremonies at the Open House held in December marked the band ' s formal debut. Its performance brought praise from students and guests alike. Selections played at the Christmas Convocation and con- certs performed at the Golden Gloves boxing matches constituted the majority of the band ' s activities during 1951.

The organization was first introduced at Textile in the spring of 1951. After our first member- ship drive, there were 56 active members. Elec- tions were held and officers chosen for the rest of the school year. Rev. John Murphy of Saint Rita ' s Parish in Lowell was appointed by Archbishop Richard J. Cushing as our club chaplain. The purpose of the Newman Club is to foster the spiritual, intellectual, and social in- terests of the Catholic students who attend Lowell Textile Institute and Lowell State Teachers College and to assist them whenever possible, helping to bind them in a common union.

The Newman Club sponsored a Communion Breakfast on October 28. After the Mass at St. Rita ' s Church, a breakfast was held at the Institute Cafeteria, with President Martin J. Lydon as the guest speaker. The Newman Club sponsored a dance at St. Rita ' s Hall on Friday, November 30. The girls from the Teachers College helped make the evening a success. With the guidance of Rev. Father Mur- phy and our officers, this year has been a social, spiritual, and intellectual success.

With the years, as its mem- bership grew not only in number but in diver- sity of nationalities, it was seen fit to change its name to the International Students Circle. At present the Circle has forty-three members from twenty different countries around the world. The International Circle provides a direct measure of the Institute ' s importance. The number of foreign students attending shows that the Institute is being acknowledged as one of the leading textile schools in the world. The underlying purpose of the organiza- tion is to offer opportunities to students of different nationalities to get to know each other under circumstances other than those Harry Demas encountered in class or during the daily rou- tine of school. The object of the club is not only to promote friendship and understanding, but also social relaxation, to make the time spent by foreign students in this country worthwhile. Exchanges of ideas and views through talks and discussion is encouraged. A number of students have been asked by local organi- zations to speak about their respective countries and customs. Visits to industrial plants as well as other outings have been quite popular lately. Social activities such as dances have shown that foreign students are fun-minded and can get into the spirit of things as well as other students. The outstanding activity is the annual dance and cabaret show given at Eames Lounge. South America, take it back! 71 Chinese Students Circle Left to right: Wang, Teng, Liu, Prof. Dow, Kao. For the past twenty-five years, the Chinese Student Club has been a unified link in the International Student Circle at Lowell Textile Institute. Under the genial guidance of Professor James G. Dow, the club has retained its iden- tity as the first and the largest club of foreign students at the Institute. Many of its past members have returned to their homeland to enter the textile field and its allied industries. The main purpose of the club is two-fold: First, to introduce the traditions of China to the American student and to foster a strong friendship of understanding and good will with the other students at Textile. Secondly, many students have add ressed various organi- zations in Lowell and the surrounding country- side, again spreading the spirit of understand- ing and brotherhood. The activities of the boys are varied and many. They have prepared dinner with genu- ine Chinese home-cooking; they have spon- sored skating parties and have cooperated when the International Circle has had a dance or any other social affair. The boys even do their own haircutting. The Chinese Club is proud of its connec- tion with Lowell Textile Institute.

Three years ago, a small group of L.T.I. students, then residing in Smith Hall, came to the conclusion that movies were not better than ever and that consequently the aesthetic standards of L.T.I, students were in danger of being reduced because of the morass of grade Z productions being displayed at the local em- poriums of California culture. Out of this in- tellectual ferment was born the Film Classics Group, a new student organization whose pur- pose is the showing of the best foreign and domestic movies of the past for both the edifi cation and the enjoyment of the L.T.I, student body. Film Classics has progressed from its first year, when a random selection of fine films was shown at individual admission rates, to the present year, when a subscription series was shown which traced the rise of the Amer- ican film from its beginnings until 1944. Some, of the best remembered films which Film Classics has shown recently are Anna Chris- tie, It Happened One Night, and G.B.S. ' s Major Barbara.

Lowell Textile Institute has many Greek- letter societies— several fraternities and one sorority. There is one, however, in which mem- bership requirements differ from those consid- ered by other organizations. Tau Epsilon Sigma is the scholastic honor society of Lowell Textile Institute. It was founded in 1927 by two diploma students; and since then, has been ably administered by its secretary, Professor Gilbert R. Merrill, of the Cotton Department. Twenty-eight new members have been taken into Tau Ep this year, bringing the total membership to almost four hundred men and women. The society serves more as a recogntion of goals obtained, rather than as a functioning club at Textile. Its members are those students who have maintained high scholastic standing through their years at L.T.I. In view of the strict requirements and the rather high work load carried by almost all at the Institute, membership in Tau Ep is doubly significant since it indicates a higher degree of scholastic achievement than is usual. The symbol of membership in Tau Ep is the gold key, proudly worn by its members- members who, since leaving Textile, have proved their abilities to the commercial world and now may be found in all walks of life.

The Nucleus is an organization that is unique in its functions and purpose at L.T.I. It came to life in September 1947, with the following objectives: (1) to gain from each in- dividual the value of his practical experiences, (2) to give members practice in conducting a seminar, (3) to support the extra-curricular activities in the school. There may be some misconception that the group is exclusive since membership is limited to fifteen invited juniors and seniors. However, a group larger than fifteen would become unwieldy and lose its effectiveness. The Nucleus strives for a cross-section of the student body. Marks, in themselves, are not the governing factor in choosing members. Extra-curricular activities are of prime impor- tance. Students who take an active interest in all phases of school life are desired, for they have more to offer the group. Each senior takes complete charge of one meeting. He chooses a topic of interest to the composite group, realizing that his audience is made up of chemists, engineers, designers, etc. He sets the date and makes arrangements for dinner. He may bring a guest if he so desires. After dinner and the speech, he takes charge of an informal discussion on his subject, an- swering any questions that may have been prompted by his speech. One member offers his services as secre- tary realizing that there is no especial prestige to be gained from the office. Other than this there are no officers in the organization. 5 Booster Club Left to right: Siegal, Lynch, Liston, LaPlante, Szczepanik, Leventhal.

The constitution has been drawn up and recognition by the Student Council has been granted. The purpose of the Booster Club is to support and increase school spirit in any way, shape, or form. During this past year, a series of record hops were presented in hopes of breaking the monotony of studying on Friday nights. Some of these record hops were held in conjunction with our home basketball games in hopes that the combined attraction would make for a pleasant evening. Although school spirit did not climb very high, the club is satisfied that it has accom- plished its purpose. The Booster Club feels that school spirit is an intangible item, but when it does soar, the club will take the reins and lead it to greater heights.

The now annual sore arm epidemic once again struck Coach Waldo Rusty Yarnall ' s baseball forces during early spring and cut down some ace pitching talent upon which he was depending. Nevertheless, Coach Yarnall and his boys overcame this ill omen and en- joyed a very respectable five wins, six losses season. On different occasions during the course of the season, the Terriers showed excellent pitching and hitting. Textile gathered its sec- ond win of the season when Earl Goven, stellar southpaw, finally shed his sore arm and hurled a magnificent six-hit shutout against Clark ' University. The team ' s batting power really showed itself in the Assumption game. After having spotted the Worcester team eleven runs in the first three innings, our boys fought back with two big innings to tie up the score. Even though the Terriers finally lost, the game revealed the fighting spirit and never-say-die determination possessed bv the team. A good old fashioned ninth-inning rally won a 7-6 thriller with New Bedford Textile. Bill Turcotte, hard-hitting second baseman, singled in the winning run. Late in the season, Skippy McKniff let Suffolk University down with two hits and one run for one of the best pitched games of t he season.

Slick infielder Hugh McKenney played great hall around the hot corner and shortstop while Therrien performed creditably both at third and in back of the plate. Lanky Gordon Axon proved himself a fancy gloveman around the initial sack and was a good steady per- former. Haley and Aldrich shared shortstop while McKniff, Whitney, Carroll, and Mur- phy patrolled the outfield. Goven, with two wins, was the top pitcher while George Law- rence and Len Rawitz also did some great pitching. Mann, Pelletier, and Copley also saw considerable action. ...

Coach Dave Morey fielded a strong, predomi- nantly South American team with most of last year ' s players returning. Moreover, Chris Chance, an exchange student from England, proved a valuable and powerful addition to an already strong squad. This season ' s schedule was stepped up to Captain Edgar Baerwald eight games, the first of which was against Keene Teachers. In this game, the Weavers received their first and only defeat of the sea- son. It was a game which they never should have lost. Textile was leading i-o in the fourth period when Keene, resorting to unlimited substitutions, scored two quick goals against a tired and little practiced Lowell team.

Fitch- burg, our next opponent, was played to a scoreless tie. However, Textile lost a valuable player when Godwin Meniru broke his leg in that rough encounter. The Weavers then played to a i-i tie their traditional rival, New Bedford Textile, a team which last year had a twenty-nine game victory streak before Low- ell beat them. Revenge was sweet when for their fifth game, L.T.I, met Keene Teachers for the sec- ond time and throttled them 4-0. Brandeis next invaded Lowell, only to fall before our onslaught by a lopsided score of 6-1. Since Army had defeated them only 4-0, we can well estimate the caliber of our team. The Bradford-Durfee game at Fall River was rained out; and on the following week, the Terriers met Clark University at Worcester. The soccer team ended its excellent season by gathering in its fourth victory of the year by a 2-1 score. Naturally, he ' ll hit the ball. One down, two to go. Warm up. The play and spirit of the entire team Was outstanding. Ed Gostanian, hard driving left inside forward from Brazil, was high scorer followed by Jalmex Calvo, of Chile, Julio Guimaraes, the Abbe Steinsapir, with four goals each. Led by the tricky footwork and superb playmaking of Julio Guimaraes, right inside forward from Brazil, and followed- by the scoring punch of Gostanian, Steinsapir, Calvo, and Chance, the offense sparkled. The defensive play was as marvelous as the offen- sive action as testified to by the statistics which show only five goals scored against Textile while we were in the process of scoring twenty- three goals. Opposing teams were stymied in their scoring attempts when they encountered the impenetrable line of Captain Edgar Baer- wald, star right fullback from Chile; Pete Bodenhorst, center half from Ecuador; and Jack Carroll, aggressive left fullback from Medford. If, by some chance, they did slip through, Milt Berkowitz, top-notch goal tender from New York City, would further add to their frustration by his excellent play around the nets. Harry Demas, of Greece, alternated with rough and ready Ray Tessler and Jerry Ginsburgh, both of New York City, at the halfback positions. Smiling Ben Bilbao, B ob Asher, Dave Aelion, Vic Kao, Bernard Kupfer- schmidt, and Lawrence Hince were used con- siderably during the course of the season; and this added bench strength had much to do with the ' successful season enjoyed by the team. mi 86 Score one for Abie. k i. i- ■ . :■ . . - ■■•i-z-.

Front: Essig, Haley, Bogart, Brandt, Horowitz, Weinstein, McHugh. Textile athletics in the past year have experienced greater accent on basketball than ever before. This fact was due mainly to the discontinuance of football here at L.T.I. The dropping of football gave the basketball team a longer period of time in which to prepare itself for the coming season. This was an im- portant factor because, in the past, the football season always overlapped with the basketball season; and therefore Coach Dave Morey was not able to devote as much time as he would have wanted to each team. Practice for the season started late in Oc- tober, and Coach Morey started then to look over the prospects for the coming season. The team lacked height, but this fact was obscured by the speed which the team displayed during the practice sessions. The first thing that Dave Morey did was to look over his freshmen. In these ranks, he found three players who showed more than just the basic requirements to play on a varsity squad. These freshmen were Joel Bogart, Sandy Weinstein, both from Brooklyn, N. Y., and William Strzelewicz from Webster, Mass. With this trio, the Coach found that he had good depth in his reserves.

Co-Captains Sdndy Brandt, Joe Morris The season ' s co-captains were Sandy Brandt, a Brooklyn boy, and Joe Morris, whose home town is Long Beach, N. Y. Both of these fellows are veterans of three previous bas- ketball seasons here at Textile. In addition, Textile has scrappy Warren McHugh from Chelmsford, Mass.; Arnie Brody, who plays a very good brand of basketball having improved substantially over the past two seasons; and to round out the team were Larry Horowitz, Gordon Axon, and big Don Dooley, who ex- celled at the center position. As the beginning of the season ap- proached, the serious task of selecting a start- ing team began. Coach Morey finally chose Joe Morris, Sandy Brandt, Don Dooley, Arnie Brody, and Warren McHugh. Textile started the season against a tall and fast Merrimack College quintet and came out of the game with a 40-30 victory. The team was not only glad to win its first game, but also glad to avenge a defeat suffered at the hands of Merrimack during the previous season. Warren McHugh was the outstanding player that night scoring eleven points before being retired from the game. During the next two games, the Terriers did not fare so well as in the opening en- counter, and lost to Clark University and the University of New Hampshire by scores of 49-40 and 67-49 respectively. Will it, or won ' t it? Bad weather caused the postponement of the next two games with Bradford Durfee and Stonehill College. Textile then took on Amer- ican International College here at Lowell and was completely outmatched. AIC was all over the court, sinking from every corner; and Tex- tile came out on the short end of an 80-57 score. L.T.I. ' s next victory came at the expense of New Bedford Textile. The following eve- ning Textile travelled to Fall River and lost to Bradford Durfee. In the next two games Textile lost to Brandeis University and won the game against Worcester State Teachers College. In the latter game, Larry Horowitz sank a sensational set shot from three-quarter court with only three seconds left in the half. This feat still has people talking. With the return of Chris Chingros, Tex- tile ' s chances have improved greatly for the second half of the season, and great things are expected of the team. Callous — thenics. Up, Don boy! m -.

Captain Frank Polak led Textile ' s 1951 gol f team through a very stiff five-game sched- ule which produced several exciting matches that were decided on the greens of the eight- eenth hole. With just a few days of practice under their belts, the L.T.I, men opened against a Holy Cross team which was returning from a southern tour. Although Textile lost the match, Captain Frank Polak did beat his man who happened to be last year ' s inter- collegiate champ. Other men on the Textile team at this time were Ed Giard, Dick Kelley, John Hayes, Dick Hauseman, and Warren Rushton. The Terriers won their next en- counter with Suffolk on the last hole. Andover promptly reversed the picture when a fifteen- foot putt on the eighteenth green by Andover won the engagement. The boys proved their real caliber as a team placing sixth in the New England Intercollegiate matches held at the Oakley Country Club in Boston. Playing great golf on a rainy day, the Textile team left many more renowned college teams in their wake. The returning veterans along with several promising freshmen will undoubtedly field another able and spirited golf team next season. 1951 Results well Opponent 2 Holy Cross 7 5 Suffolk University 4 4 Andover Academy 5 3 Clark University 6 4V 2 A. 1.

Complete Confidence Lacrosse Back row: Scott, Mulcahy, Berwick First row: Hochberg, Montgomery, Long before winter set in, the candidates for the lacrosse team limbered themselves up for the coming spring season. Under the watchful eye of Coach Dave Morey, the team worked out whenever pos- sible. About fifteen men turned out regularly for practice, and their main task was to learn to play as one unit. The team practiced hard for weeks; de- fense was especially stressed. When the weather became bad, practice was temporarily discontinued. In the early spring, the boys were out again, and they worked even harder this time. Captain Richard Montgomery Pawloski, Szczepanik, Tewksbury. Bussiere, Schaaf. Perhaps, they were not altogether ready; for when they encountered the Howard fresh- men, they seemed somewhat weak. Textile left that day with a 10-2 defeat behind them. In the next game, a different story was told and Textile went on to defeat Nichols Junior College, 5-2. This victory gave the team all the moral support they needed for the rest of the season. They played inspired ball, but lost the remaining two games because of the lack of substitutes. Those games were played against Worcester Polytech and the University of New Hampshire. The scores of those games were 7-5 and 5-4 respectively. The actual success of the team can be attributed to a considerable extent to the ca- pable direction of player-captain Dick Mont- gomery. Dick ' s splendid work was probably the greatest asset the team ever had. The regulars on last year ' s squad were Marty Arsham, Bob Bussiere, Dick Montgom- ery, Wes Scott, Hank Szczepanik, Murray Goldberg, Eric Schlaginhaufen, and Donald Schaaf. Since lacrosse is actually still in its infancy here at Textile, greater prospects for the future may certainly be anticipated. 1 5!!I Upsy-daisy ' Sl ' .-itr -- -1 ? ? ? : ? rv -.._■ -f ri-tr 3K • •  -.-- - ' . .- •. -Jin Can ' t see how that ball went through. 1951 Results Lowell Opponent 2 Harvard Freshmen 10 5 Nichol ' s Jr. Coll. 2 5 Worcester Polytech. 7 4 Univ. of New Hamp. 5 Won — 1 Lost — 3 93 Varsity Club Back row: Axon, Devereaux, Essig, Brody, Morris, Woessner, Dooley, Grady, Levenson, Lewis, F.

The Varsity Club was formed three years ago by the lettermen of the baseball, basket- ball and football squads to create a lasting friendship among the athletes of Lowell Tex- tile Institute. Having succeeded in this pur- pose, the club tried to better the athletic situ- ation by improving and adding to the athletic equipment at hand. During the first year, a camera, a projector and three whirlpool baths were obtained as a result of the club ' s efforts. At the beginning of the ' 51-52 season, football was discontinued, but, strangely enough the Varsity club in- creased its activity. Almost all of the thirty-nine eligible mem- bers were present at an im- promptu meeting early in the season. At this meeting, officers were elected and requested to draw up a constitution and by- laws in order that official recog- nition as a club could be ob- tained. The first undertaking, spon- Roger Lewis receives Lester Cushing Trophy. sorship of the Fraternity All-Stars versus Fac- ulty basketball game, proved to be a great success and introduced to L.T.I, the All-Textile Formal weekend. Encouraged by the response to this project, the Varsity club made definite plans to hold a sports night in February at which time letters and sweaters were awarded to the athletes of highest merit. Plans are also being formulated to recognize the minor sports of soccer and lacrosse. President Roger Lewis V ce-Presidenf Donald W. Aldrich Treasurer Warren E. Mann Secretary Earl J.

With the abandoning of football, prob- ably the most colorful sport from a spectator point of view, the cheerleaders lost their prime function. Nevertheless, this spirited group of students reorganized in late November and plunged into the task of arousing the spirit and cheers here at Textile. Captain Arnold Freeman and Assistant Captain Bud Leventhal, along with their crew of Nancy Geary and Elaine Kenney, imme- diately went to work. They sponsored cheering appearances followed by record hops at basket- ball games, led cheers at assemblies and public pep rallies, and engaged in numerous other campus activities. Cheerleaders, being automatically mem- bers of the Booster Club, also did their bit in this student activity. With the presence of the ROTC band on the campus, the cheerleaders are looking forward to the day that they can again be cheering at football games, accom- panied by military airs of the band and the husky voices of the entire Air Force Unit.

The Interfraternity Council is an organi- zation designed to co-ordinate the interests of the four fraternities on campus, and to aid in the determination of common policy on mat- ters of mutual importance. The group, com- posed of four representatives from each of the fraternities, also acts as a clearing house for the scheduling of major activities of the chap- ters. Through the IFC, a fraternity social calendar is set up each year to assure that fra- ternity functions do not conflict with the ac- tivities of other societies in the school. The IFC this year has also taken on the function of liaison between the Administration of the school and the fraternities in general. Whenever rules were passed that concerned the fraternities, the Dean of Students prom- ised to be present at an IFC meeting to ex- plain the reason for any actions taken and to answer any questions pertinent to them. The chairman of the IFC is elected at the first meeting of each year, as are the vice chair- man, secretary, and treasurer. The men hold- ing these respective positions now are Robert Rutledge of Delta Kappa Phi, Ira Rottenberg of Pi Lambda Phi, John Devereaux of Phi Psi, Chairman Robert Rutledge Vice-Chairman Ira Rottenberg Treasurer Wemyss Scott Secretory John Devereaux and Wemyss Scott of Omicron Pi. Although there is no rule to the effect, each year the chairmanship rotates to a different fraternity. Another custom has been to have each officer come from a different Fraternity. Among the more routine accomplish- ments of the IFC are the organizing and op- erating of the fraternity bowling, basketball, and softball leagues. The Council awards trophies each year to the winning fraternity in each league. If one chapter wins the same award three consecutive times, it retires the trophy. Otherwise the trophy is passed along each year with a suitable engraving indicating the record of its travels. One of the prime achievements of the IFC has been the co-ordinating of the rushing and pledging procedures. This vear the rush- ing season was set up by the IFC at a special meeting of the rushing chairman of the respec- tive chapters. At a regular meeting the dates of pledging and hell week were decided upon. Another recent policy is the annua l awarding of a scholarship trophy to that fra- ternity which has achieved the highest cumu- lative average for the year. 101 Delta Kappa Phi Mann Bacfc row: MacLean, Kyriacopoulas, Gorecki, Robinson, Uster, Allison, Demas, Profio.

Delta Kappa Phi has progressed rapidly in a period of post-war rejuvenation during which our program of reactivation, expansion, and solidification has been met with success and achievement. A brotherhood rich -in tradi- tion, dating back to 1898, we are proud to have among our alumni many men of promi- nence in the textile and allied industries and active in a direct regard to L.T.I. The fraternity at Lowell Textile Institute is Beta Chapter in the national organization, consisting of other active chapters at North Carolina State, Georgia Tech, New Bedford Textile, and the Philadelphia Textile Institute. Obviously, we are exclusively a professional textile fraternity whose membership has been, and will continue to be, composed of men from all countries, of all religions and creeds, bound together in a common understanding and purpose of mind. Regardless of sectarian differences we have always striven to be true to our Greek letters of Duty, Knowledge, and Friendship. So that future Dekes may reminisce over Very pretty! the activities of their fraternity, and present ones recall them with nostalgia, we present a calendar of the past year. The first of the great strides was the ac- quisition of our own House in February 1951. The dream that is our fraternity home was fostered in the hearts of Dekes for years and finally became reality through ceaseless de- termination and much frustration. To make a new home really ready for oc- cupancy a house warming is mandatory, and so on the night of Feb. 22nd the event of our first Open House took place. To describe the scene is impossible; suffice it to say almost every person connected with LTI was in at- tendance and the parking space for blocks around was filled. Following up this grand start, pledging and subsequent Hell Week rolled around in 104 March. Construction was the theme of the pledge period with a lounge in the cellar, complete re-finishing, and in general lots of good work as a result. A home for some and a place for all, the House became part of us through the follow- ing months. Our accomplishments were proud- ly announced at the National Convention held at North Carolina State in May. The college year was about over when the annual Dinner-Dance was held at the Beaverbrook Country Club. It was heartening to see some of the Dekes who had gone into the service of their country return to our fold for the event. Summer arrived and most went their separate ways to the four winds. We parted with a mutual hope that all would return to complete their college years and that those leaving for good would weather the storm brewing in a divided world. With the new school year D.K. con- tinued on its merry way with week-end rushing parties commonplace. A real spooky Halloween Party was one of the highlights. Another huge success was added to our scrap- book. Winter was upon us and glad we were to have a -warm, comfortable place in which to meet and live. We participated actively in the interfraternity sports of bowling and basket- ball; and we showed our fight all the way down the line. After the Christmas vacation, the new year was ushered in with a gala Roaring Twenties party on January 5th, 1952. In spite of a very bad snow storm in progress, the affair was attended by a huge All-Textile group. Newspaper coverage of this event was pro- vided by the magazine section of the Lowell Sun which featured a complete spread on the uproarious occasion. The outstanding success of this party was unanimously declared and plans for its continuance annually were set forth. Anticipating the coming second semester and spring weather with all the eagerness we possess, the fraternity is sure of many eventful times to be. We are proud of our record and sure in the knowledge that we have contrib- uted to the betterment of each other. Some people ' s idea of a joke!

Gathered together in a small room at 78 Gates Street, these men set forth a principle to be followed by succeeding generations that the purpose of this fraternity shall be to promote good fellowship and social intercourse among its members. As the fraternity grew in membership and traditions, it was deemed necessary to seek a house to serve as living quarters and as a meet- ing place for future activities. Several homes have been enjoyed by Omicron Pi. The best remembered addresses are the house on Paw- tucket Street and the present location at 31 Waverly Avenue. As O Pi members went forth into indus- try, it was necessary to bind this group together to form a permanent organization which could oversee the local chapter at the school. For the purpose of encouraging and aiding the education of undergraduates of the Lowell Textile School, by providing and maintaining convenient and comfortable living quarters and accommodations for their use; and for the She ' s bashful purpose of establishing and maintaining read- ing rooms, libraries, and social meeting places for both graduates and undergraduates of said Lowell Textile School a corporation was formed, August 19, 1920, the Omicron Pi Fraternity Alumni, Incorporated. Ever since its beginning the fraternity has been a very active participant in all school and interfraternity activities. Many can remember the days when men of O Pi drove to the Up- stream Day picnic in a borrowed firetruck, took first prizes in relay races and other events and consumed as much liquid refreshment as anyone on the grounds. Added to the trophy shelf in recent years are the Interfraternity Scholastic Achievement Cup and also the Bowling Championship Award. With its mem- bers entering into keen competition with the other fraternities at Textile, more awards are sure to be received in the future. The current year has been a busy one for the members. Coupling together an extremely rigorous academic schedule under the new 108 Rules and Regulations with a tremendous rushing season, hustle was the order of the day. Dick Draper at the helm of rushing sup- ported by Don Schaaf and his social commit- tee put forth a Halloween party, costumes and all, reopened the Crescent Casino, and aided little Mr. 1952 to bid farewell to a bygone year with singin ' and tippin ' and all the trimmings. An old landmark at 31 Waverly Avenue, the barn-garage next to the house, gave way to a more modern paved parking area this year; another step toward improving the facilities offered to future members. The house has been receiving new furnishings all along and now boasts a beautifully outfitted library com- plete with sofa and easy chair. Omicron Pi Fraternity points with pride at those who have done so much to form an organization that is respected by all and is aiming toward a future, rich with the fruits of great men made greater by brotherhood.

' i ' .- Y - Phi Psi Fraternity was founded by five students of the Philadelphia College of Tex- tile Engineering on March 18, 1903, to pro- mote the good fellowship, social intercourse, and mutual advancement of its members, and to study techniques in textile manufacturing. In 1905, Phi Psi Fraternity was incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Beta Chapter was organized in 1904 at the New Bedford Textile School, New Bedford, Massachusetts. Later that same year the Gam- ma Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity was char- tered at Lowell Textile School. Since the chartering of the Gamma Chapter, six other chapters have been added to the list of active chapters. There are twelve alumni chapters in addition to the nine active chapters. Phi Psi is the largest and most respected textile fra- ternity in the world, and its alumni hold some of the highest positions of trust and respect in all branches of the textile industry. Gamma Chapter moved into its present location at 406 Pawtucket Street in 1946. With the help of several loyal alumni, a plan Doug ' s date was set up for purchasing the house. A num- ber of physical improvements have been real- ized during the past five and a half years. A new electric refrigerator, an electric oil heater, and linoleum for the entire top floor are just a few of the improvements that have been added to our house since we first occupied it in 1946. The fraternity is dedicated to the follow- ing ideals: first, to promote good fe llowship among the men of textile schools and col- leges with textile departments; second, to en- courage a high standard in textile work; and third, to assist, by every honorable means, the advancement of its members. We are a pro- fessional fraternity, textile throughout. This means that all of us start with common busi- ness interests. The fraternity is governed by the Grand Council, which is composed of of- 112 ficers chosen from the alumni and represent- atives of the various active and alumni chap- ters. Phi Psi Fraternity has reason to be proud of its members through their participation in extra-curricular activities. Its members hold important positions on the Student Council, in the student publications, and on athletic teams of the Institute. We realize that partici- pation in extra-curricular activities is an im- portant part of college life. We have promoted softball, basketball, and bowling teams, which have engaged in interfraternity competition. Our social calendar started this year off with a Back To College Party on September 29. Something new in fraternity parties at Textile was presented by our social commit- tee when they sponsored The Shipwreck Party. Our annual Monte Carlo Party was held on the first of December, and a number of rushing parties were held during the first semester to acquaint the new students with the activities and members of the fraternity. An Old Timers ' Party was held on December 8. Many of the recent graduates attended and showed an interest in the activities of this chapter. Perhaps the greatest display of true Phi Psi spirit may be witnessed at our Orphans ' Christmas Party, which was held on Decem- ber 18. Planning and preparation are necessary to make such an undertaking successful, and we are grateful for the assistance provided by various faculty members and to the local merchants. Without their help, the party cer- tainly could not have been so successful. Twenty-four children were entertained for three hours by a magician, movies, and finally by Santa Claus, who had presents for all of them. Many of the members had as much en- joyment out of the party as the children did. Indications are that this year ' s Spring Formal, which will be held in the last part of April, will be bigger and better than ever. Most of us who graduate in June will look back upon this year as one of many substan- tial ones enjoyed at L.T.I.

But there ' s no place to sleep. When the return of peacetime conditions brought an expanded student bodv to L.T.I., Massachusetts Alpha Epsilon of Pi Lambda Phi had its genesis in Eta Chapter of Sigma Omega Psi, founded on January 23, 1920. At that time the fraternity boasted a membership of five men, rather small to be considered an auspicious beginning. But these five and their successors showed tenacity and determination, and the fraternity grew and prospered. After several years marked by fluctuating fortunes, S.O.P. benefited from the lar ge en- rollment at L.T.I, in 1937 in achieving with size a stability of operations. A house was bought and maintained. The fraternity grew until, in 1940, S.O.P. was merged with a larger national fraternity. At that time, how- ever, the National Fraternal Conference did not recognize L.T.I, as a Grade A school; and so Eta chapter could not be absorbed with the rest of S.O.P. It then became Alpha Epsilon, a pledge chapter of the national that had ab- sorbed S.O.P. When World War II took away the Our oldest couple greater part of the L.T.I, student body, it took with it 95% of A.E., causing liquidation of the house. The small remaining group kept the fraternity going and pledged the returning vet- erans after the war had ended. In a few years A.E., now a local independent, regained and surpassed its prewar strength. In 1946 the present house was purchased, making A.E. once again a thriving enterprise. In 1949 A.E. went national, an event made possible by the emergence of L.T.I, as an outstanding educational institution. The chapter was installed as Massachusetts Alpha Epsilon of Pi Lambda Phi and since then has become one of the outstanding chapters of the thirty-four chapters in Pilam, as well as an out- standing fraternity on the L.T.I, campus. This past year was a notable one for Pilam. A class of fifteen was pledged and initi- 116 ated. This class showed plenty of spirit and resilience, and the fraters kept the pledge class toeing the line. After the initiation, the long awaited weekend of the formal arrived. Girls came from many places, including suxh far distant points as Syracuse and Lawrence. The more hardy couples, not satisfied with Friday ' s and Saturday ' s activity, migrated to Revere Beach and the amusements offered on the board- walk. Nothing has been the same there since. In athletics, Pilam took the flag in both the interfraternity basketball and softball leagues. The basketball triumph was the fourth in succession and the softball victory the second. The summer months found Pilams in a variety of places and activities. Some furthered their educational and financial interests by working in textile plants, while others labored in resort hotels. Some struck out across the continent, absorbing culture, tequila, and fos- sils while seeing the United States and a bit of Mexico. Still others entered the service. Who ' s got the match? The first term of the new school year found a younger group making up the fra- ternity, the last of the big veteran classes hav- ing graduated. The presence of youth did not mean a lack of ability, as shown by the active social program. The first party of the year was a Wild West Party, something new in the annals of the fraternity. Cap guns are still to be found about the house, reminders of a memorable event. The Pilam Christmas Par- ty, now becoming an annual tradition, was held on the fifteenth of December; the house was filled with people from every fraternity, class, office, and department of the school. Not all of Pilam ' s success has been social. During the past year, Pilam has been repre- sented by the following: officers of the four classes and the Student Council, outstanding players on the athletic teams of L.T.I. , co-cap- tains of the basketball team, leaders on the student publications, and members of other student organizations. Pilam looks forward to a year marked with pledging, the formal weekend, and graduation. The informal retreat after a formal affair.

As the history of Lowell Textile Institute is scanned, it is found that every chapter in- cludes a Co-ed, but it was not until 1937 that the girls banded together into a sorority. At that time, the girls inaugurated the Phlame Sorority; the name was formed from the ini- tials of the founders. The main object was to promote fellowship among the women in the textile field. In 1948, as the Sorority grew in number, the name was changed to Phi Sigma Rho, be- cause the Phlame had lost its significance to the newer members. Last year Prof. Wells offered his cottage at Ocean Park to the Co-eds for the Memorial Day vacation. Who will ever forget the card game that lasted until three A.M. or the chatter that did not cease until six? The 1 95 1 season was opened with a Halloween Rush Party and followed with Hell Week at which time four pledges ran the gauntlet. The Formal Initiation was held at the D.K. House and the annual dinner- dance took place at the Meadows. Eight members of the Sorority will leave in June. May the remaining members carry on in the standard tradition. Eames Hall The building of the dormitories at L.T.I. was the first step in a long range plan of ex- pansion which has led to the new Library, and the near completion of the Paper and Leather Building. Construction on Eames Hall began early in 1948, and the building was opened to the students in the fall of 1949. The dormitory has provided the out-of-town students with a con- genial atmosphere in which to live and study. Each room is adequately furnished with beds, desks, lamps, chairs, closets, bureau, and a sink. A tunnel connects both dormitories with the school to eliminate any inconvenience caused the student in the case of inclement weather. In the basement of Eames Hall is a spacious lounge containing comfortable chairs, ping-pcng tables, a piano, and a snack bar. The lounge provides a comfortable atmosphere in which to spend leisure moments. Another feature of the dormitory is the uniting of students of different countries and cultures. This goes a long way in bringing about understanding between nations. Eames Hall is run by a faculty proctor, Coach Dave Morey. In addition, there are three student proctors, one for each floor of the Dormitory excluding the faculty proctor ' s floor. The student proctors are Steve Bodor, Irv Winn, and Wes Hixon. There is also a dormitory committee whose duty is to aid the proctors in dealing with infractions of the rules. The members of the committee are Walt Maciejewski, Bob Eddy, Ted Hoffman, Rod Madden, Sy Rekant, Cliff Sampson, Don Ho- warth, and Chris Chance. Smith Hall Across Textile Avenue and opposite Southwick Hall stands Smith Hall. Here, modern and comfortable quarters are provided for upperclassmen on campus and within ac- cess to all the facilities of the Institute. This men ' s residence hall has accommodations for one hundred twelve students and a faculty proctor. In the basement there is a dispensary for students, first aid clinic for the resident nurse, and a cafeteria. Smith Hall was dedicated in honor of James T. Smith, pioneer educator in the tex- tile field and the individual primarily respon- sible for the organization of Lowell Textile Institute. The building was erected by the Lowell Textile Institute Building Association in 1948. In the era that preceded the construction of this building, the student body was dis- tributed all over the city of Lowell in rooming houses and in private homes. Pressure was brought to bear upon the school authorities by the students, who insisted that L.T.I, could not be truly considered a college with campus life. In 1948, when the first occupants of Smith Hall moved in, the surroundings were quite different from what they are at the present time. There were no beautiful lawns and plants in front of the building, but just a dirt lot. Dust storms in miniature were fre- quent. The students unpacked the first furni- ture and set up their own rooms. Today Smith Hall stands among the com- pleted grouping, which includes the Alumni Memorial Library and Eames Hall, and is con- sidered one of the most modern residence halls in the country. In research, administration, production, and uniform our graduates will blend smoothly into the mix of society, adding richness and strength to the composite fabric. hJak %2K KfrAur ' 123 A PASSING THOUGHT In the midst of the atmosphere of insecurity, turmoil, confusion, and apprehension surrounding the world today there emerges a ray of light, penetrating and clear, which seems to dissolve the dark clouds of despair. This force of optimism, confidence, and vitality can only have as its source, the energy injected into the life-blood of the world by the productive efforts and ideas of 1952 graduates from this and other institutions of higher learning. In particular, we of LTI will have the opportunity to be a part of this metamorphic release as we endeavor to put into practice the tools developed in the past four years. This, then, will be our goal — to remove the cataract of static inertia from the field of our choice so that it will gain further ' clarity of vision and thereby forge ahead in the spirit of progress which gives America its greatness. 124 ■ :.:■■ nil g[jj Richard Leonard Draper __j m a g J Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest.

It takes a great deal of a person ' s time and patience to help assemble a yearbook such as ours. As I watched this 1952 PICKOUT grow, as each person ' s ideas were carefully planned and laid out on paper, as each page took its shape and for m, as each person ' s ability became a part of the book, I couldn ' t help feeling a warmness within as the construction of the yearbook became more apparent. To my entire staff, I am deeply grateful. I am only sorry that a staff like ours could work together for but one short college year. In addition to my own staff, I should like to thank the following people whose contribution to this book has been invaluable: Professor Russell M. Fox, our faculty advisor, who could be counted upon to alleviate any troubled condition that should arise. Mr. Louis W. Stearns, our faculty literary editor, who kept our literary noses clean of split infinitives and other such imperfections. Professor A. Edwin Wells, who, on behalf of the Alumni Association, presented us with a new office and furniture in the Library Building. Mr. George G. Armstrong Jr., our darkroom advisor, who spent a great deal of his time setting up our newly equipped darkroom. Mr. A. H. Dick of Louisville Textiles— a former L.T.I, graduate, who designed and supplied the cover fabric. Mr. Robert Greener, our printer ' s representative, who chose to wear a smile rather than wield a paddle when we did not meet our deadlines. Miss Elizabeth P. Kennedy, our cheerful typist, who always came through when the going was toughest. Mr. Paul Desilets— who aided our photography and layout staff whenever the situation warranted it. Mr. Wallace Butterfield, our bookkeeper, whose name and figures on a check meant so much to this publication. Mrs. Doris Beatty of Loring Studios, who prepared and revised list upon list of those formal faculty and senior pictures which were not as yet delivered to us for reproduction. And lastly to a number of guys and gals, sweethearts of members on the staff, who never turned a deaf ear to the continuous jabber of PICKOUT progress that echoed from the mouths of the staff ' s personnel.

He brightens, changes . . . and fades his shades. Color fading, chameleon-style, is out of man ' s world. For, remember . . . no matter how muck his color fades today . . . you can bet it ' ll be back in brightness to- morrow! Don ' t you wish that were the case with the colored products you deal with? Un- fortunately, it isn ' t. Once the bright col- ors have faded . . . they ' re dulled out forever. That ' s why it ' s important to guard against color fading by insisting on dyes that are built to last for the life of the product — dyes that are fast to everything the product ' s exposed to. Such fastness can be yours when you turn to Du Pont for dyestuffs! Our tech- nical experts will help you find the right dye for the end use — whatever it may be. E. I. du Pont de Nemours : Co.

Longbottom 222 FROM THE TOP For forty-seven years now, the PICKOUT has attempted to chronicle the activities and doings or the school, while the tide of time has swept in and out, carrying with it each time a different class. This year it is the class of 1952 that goes out into the world to seek its fortune. During the period that we have spent here at Textile we have sought to acquire an education, for that is what we came here for; but beside that, we have tried in some way or another to give to the school something of ourselves. We have done this by taking part in athletics, in dramatics, in the various societies, in the TEXT, and in the PICKOUT. Here in this forty-first volume of the PICKOUT we have attempted to give an accurate account of these activities, and of the students themselves. We have perhaps enlarged upon characteristics and made fun of them; but rest assured that everything in this yearbook is said and done in the spirit of fun, and with no feeling of animosity. In this volume we have departed somewhat from the customary, the new cover standing as the most radical change or addition. It is our hope that this new design will find favor, and enhance the value of the book to vou. As for the interior of the book, the changes are prominent and, we hope, for the better. In anv event, we hope that this volume will meet with vour enthusiasm, and that the data and material is as nearly correct as it can be. The value of the PICKOUT is not, we think, so much in the present as it is in the future, and so if it does pass the present test, we feel that the future will take care of itself. 223 LL MSwm UmKH ir ] ■Mlih ... |HB„ ' ■; __ JKB.- Hj|{ ggpitai :„- V Lowell Cemetery 1 ' ■ [
