It is our hope that we have made constructive contributions to each of you in your quest of a career.

We know that you will go forward in your program of self-improvement and self-direction, that your education of the future may be gained in many places, and that our paths may cross frequently. Regardless of where you may be the counselors at the Institute stand ready to give continued counsel to you as you mature your life plans.

The necessity of a foundation of fundamen- tals is stressed and progressive techniques of teaching employed. The student’s individual capacity is observed and his training directed in the area of greatest aptitude. Various methods of self-evaluation are employed. An atmosphere of progressive accomplishment and congenial relationship is evidenced. The Art student who enters the professional field finds a measure of satisfaction in his act ivit y far beyond the mere financial compensation for his services. An ever widening alertness to the beauties of nature, the refinement of gracious living and active participation in creative work develop his appreciation and understanding of life. CLIFFORD M.

He ALFRED A. JOHNS finds new and more efficient ways of doing Counselor things, lie seeks greater efficiency in using raw materials He devises new' and more efficient methods of production so that costs can be lowered. Students enrolled in the Co-operative Industrial Chemistry Course prepare themselves to meet exacting requirements. They Lake their places in chemical industries or in manufacturing projects using chemical processes. Some of them devote their time to the development of new and better materials; others are con- cerned with more efficient production. The Institute’s contribution is a course of training which meets the requirements of industry in subject matter and which trains the student to think clearly and act wisely. Bruins Brodie Johns 15 Bie filer Braden Gil lard EARLE M. MORHCOCK Counselor ELECTRICAL The objective of the Electrical Department is to aid young men in establishing and pre- paring for a career objective selected from Lhe many opportunities in the electrical field provided by the industries and public utili- ties of Western New York. Co-operative employment which provides practical experience and financial aid; individualized instruction which permits lhe scholastic program to be ad justed to each student's needs and abilities; a counseling service; and provisions for promoting and evaluating the ability of the student to direct his own affairs; are unique features of the training provided. Because of their compe- tence. high ideals, and standards, the electrical graduates have won for this depart- ment the co-operation and confidence of many employers throughout this section of the State. Brodie B ieh ter I layberg Karker Tuiies Morecock 16 rcct) AL UINIVI l AIII N The Department of Food Administration offers to its students an opportunity for pro- fessional training in Hospital Dietetics and ALICE J. KIRK Commercial Food Management. Emphasis Counselor is placed upon those phases of Home Econ- omics which have definite career values and will ultimately lead to positions in either the hospital or commercial field. Opportunity for practical interneship is available in nine hospitals and seven food establishments. This experience and apprenticeship gives the student an op- portunity to try out, to look in, and to work wiLh real situations and practical management problems. Health and food have always been of vital interest to women and this deep-rooted instinct makes Food Administration not only a natural career for women but when adequate training is obtained, a successful and happy one as well. A ruler son lioberts Flynn Kirk Pod I an Horne GENERAL LOME ECONOMICS The Institute now offers a curriculum in Home Economics which is designed to meet MAY I). BENEDICT the individual needs of young women whose Counselor goal is competency in the many and varied activities of home and community life. V broad education is offered, with units devoted to technical activities designed to train in productive techniques such as clothing construction, menu planning, and meal preparation, house furnishing and decoration, home management, and in the development of the child and family relationships. Supplementary courses are provided understanding to technical process and problems through related princi- ples and facts. For a balance of technical with liberal units, other courses give insight into how to get on with people and give understanding of social and polit ical affairs in which, today, women participate with considerable enthusiasm.

The faculties aim to give as wide a choice of subject matter as is consistent with good practice in education and at the same time to prepare each student for a place in one specific area of these growing, ever-changing and diversified fields. A wide choice of job objectives is made possible by the individualized method of instruction. Clark Brodie Godfrey Speidel Hag berg Plehn Martin Biehler Donaldson 19 DUCTCCEAI-'PC; TECIiNCLOGy C. B. NEBLETTE Counselor The objectives of the Detriment of Photo- graphic Technology are to provide thorough and comprehensive training for professional photography and the photographic industry. An understanding of the fundamentals, the acquirement of practical experience in photography as an art and as a craft, and the development of creative ability are among the major objectives of the training program. The work is individualized and is designed to provide for the fullest possible amount of self-direction upon the pari of the student, livery effort is made to lead the student to think and plan as an individual. Realizing that creative power and originality are among the prime essentials of modern photography, the program has been designed to call progressively into play the creative energies of the student.

Careful con- sideration is given to the student's individual desires and needs, in order t hat he may achieve his career objective. An opportunity to secure professional experience combined with specialized training enables each student to an even better understanding of the possibilities of this field. In addition to holding positions of responsibility for which they receive compar- able recognition, the Retailing student secures a personal satisfaction from partici- pation in a profession far reaching in its influence upon the lives and happiness of everyone in the world.

Barton, Jr. Mrs. Georgie C. Hoke Burton E. Stratton Walter Powell, Director of Publicity and Public Relations In planning its activities, the Department of the Social Sciences considers the present and future interests of students that lie outside the strictly technical phases of training. Studies in self-understanding, dealing with people, economics and government, philosophy, and English are included in this liberal curriculum. The present changing age demands more Ilian narrow technical proficiency of men ami women who are to contribute their part in modern society. B. A. M. I. has for the past decade or more taken a leading part among technical schools in recognizing, studying, and developing this phase of education. Also in the picture are: Mr. Frederick J.

This program of individualization consists of a co-operative schedule, which enables the student to develop his special abilities and apply them directly to Industry. Courses in Social Science and Extra Curricular Activities are offered to balance the practical training, and extend (he adaptability of the student. Mechanics is renowned for leadership in educational methods, many larger schools are following after it. The recognition of our large industries in co-operation with Mechanics for new employees and additional training for old employees, has proved its worth to the individual and the community.

MESSERSC11MITT WILLARD GARRET! 41 SENIOR CLASS RISTORy And so we pass, leaving our mark, big or small, in the history of our school; but the impression, that we take from our Alma Mater, will remain with us all our lives. The K. A. M. i. has given us rare friendships, beneficial responsibilities, and the foundations of our careers. As each year slips by, we will appreciate more and more what Mechanics has done for us. In our freshman year, we found Lime to hold the “Frosh Frolic,” while we were being introduced to the maze of activities that swirled around us during that first year. It was then that we selected those activities that we were to support for the following two years. Soon we were Juniors, with the responsibility of the proper induction of the lowly Frosh. The “Big Brother and Sister” system was introduced and proved an outstanding success. Another in ovation was the broadening of the sports program. This allow ed the participation of ail students in bow ling, dancing, riding, swimming, and hiking. The big social event of the year was I he “Junior Prom” w hich was held in the Power’s Hotel Ballroom with dancing to the music of Johnny Grady and his “Swing” band. Our first two years of work and play passed all too quickly and the day arrived when we became lofty Seniors holding in our hands I he guiding reins of the leading school activities. The mid-year was marked by a gay. informal parly which we called the Senior Banquet. Then, to cap the climax of our three years activities came the Senior Ball and Commencement. For the last time we were surrounded by all of our associates. Then with school behind us, we set out to make another mark, a mark either indelible or minute, the imprint of which is hidden in the sands of time and controlled by the destiny of fate. 43 ItiC INSTITUTE ANU INUUSTUr Industry, a vast and un com promising cross-seclion of the world today is ever beckoning to well-trained and efficient individuals. Mass produc tion, speed, econ- omy and safety demand mentally, as well as physically, well equipped workers. Where to get such men and women was a vital problem to the leaders in Industry. Finally, one of the pioneers in their midst conceived the idea of founding a school lo train and equip young men and women in the Industrial Ails. Thus the Rochester Athenaeum and .Mechanics Institute came into being, guided by the lirm. yet gentle hand, of our beloved Captain Lomh. To I he Institute came students from all parts of the country, seeking a practical training. To the Institute, the leaders of large organizations came, seeking prospec- tive helpers in their field. The Institute and business organizations have formed an agreement, whereby the student is permitted to gain some practical experience by working as he studies. This system is known as the co-operative plan. The advantages of this co-operation are not alone on the side of the student. The Industrialist gets an intelligent and well-trained individual in the embryonic stage and guides him to maturity under similar conditions that confront a graduate after a purely academic training. Thus under such tutelage the student learns to conform to the demands of business and by graduation has had enough experience to warrant his becoming a first class worker in his particular field of endeavor. This gives the employer a fully equipped individual ready lo shoulder the responsibilities that fall on skilled workmen of today. Herein we see a balance of experience favorable both to the individual student and Industry. Alice Echter 44 JUNIORS JUNICE CfNCtCS John Etu Elizabeth Mutch Alice Flanagan Irene Rauner .

This group of lads and lassies appeared to be reticent but here were leaders as they soon proved. Quietly they began their careers at M. L, however the upper classmen soon discovered that this was not an ordinary class. They participated in all the school’s activities. Technical societies, Fraternities, and Sororities claimed the interest and support of a large percentage of our number. On thru our Junior year as we became more accustomed to Institute life, with increasing volume our presence at all school functions has been noticed. The Junior Prom a high-lighted event of our second year was held in the Powers Hotel Ballroom on February sixth. Every moment of the evening was delightful as attested by all those in attendance. Swiftly now has this year flown! As Seniors, we hope to continue our enthusiasm and uphold the traditions of R. A. M, I. that, when we pass, as we must, from out these portals, we may leave a record of no mean accomplishments. 50 FEESHA4AN fCf SUMEN CfNCEES Salford Llazlett Ralph Zinke Abbey Jean Northrup Clare Chamberlain President Vice-President Secrefary Treasurer 53 Bradley Ferguson Meade Bender W liken son Malone Miller Mulligan Harder Kelley Levin Elsertheimer Schisler Root Br idges Echter Voss Cohen Guarino Holmes Pryor Cher toff Chacona Kron Hancock Daelsch Somberg Reed Leonard Murray M(Cargo Lee Keyes Goodemole Zinke Newton Janes Read Lee Hamilton Roy Taylor Stevens Hogan Gere Blum Rafferty Brown Seers Teeft Basch Smyrski Wyman Emery Townsend Loncasiy Irene Adams Alma Alexander Helene Amdursky Donald Andrews Maxine Armes .Arlene Ayres Margaret Badliom Barbara Baird Matthew Baisch Inoret Baker Russell Baker Harold Bauman Beata Becker Andrew Beinschroth Robert Bernhard Selina Jean Bernstein Edward Betlinski Owen Hillman Robert Black Neva Blair Dorothy Bliemeister Henry Blodgett Edward Blum Ralph Bookstein Robert Bos worth Richard Bradley W.

Back doors, blue caps, the most hideous green ties you ever saw, green lapel dinner plates, yards of green ribbon became the rule rather than the exception. Brick-bats soon found their place, upper classmen dignities honored, and to top it all they taught us to be dirty politicians and rank, but somewhat proficient, forgers. The gobble of the turkey could none too soon drown out the squeak of, Oh how we love I he upper classmen.” Tables were turned, as they often, almost proverbially are, by the call to ext ra curricular activities. In the neighborhood of forty frosh answered the call to wrest- ling. The number has constantly become smaller, but, we notice for the first time in many years, a frosh wrestling squad. Basketball, dramatics, and other activities sounded an interesting note in the ear of many of our number. By the number of fraternity and sorority pledges, we have received recognition from these particular branches of the Institute. How some of those frosh must love to be initiated! While the system of education is a bit different, in that it is more fundamental and practical, than the majority of us have been accustomed to, we are rapidly taking our place as one of the school's outstanding classes. We arc freshmen by name alone. The urge to become a working part of the world, making it a better place than we found it, has superimposed the desire for freshman retaliation by the lust for new worlds to conquer. 50 [ i I III S T L D f N T Lift INSTITUTE LIFE Institute life, as seen by the casual observer, would seem carried on in a little world of its own. Yet, in reality, we are very much connected without outside activities, here in the Institute, Each student is individually as well as collectively trained to carry out not only the tasks for which he is specializing hut numerous others as well. This individualized education is one of the special points about the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute, and one needs only to observe the many Mechanics graduates employed every where and to see how really absorbed the present students are, to find out the results of such a program. Every quarter year, each student has read to him a record of his traits concerning his work and sug- gestions are made for the betterment of his application. Life is not the usual humdrum monotony, but every day each student, discovers new worlds to conquer, whether it be in retail selling, photography, chemistry, art or in any of the numerous courses available, and in overcoming these necessary obstacles, we discover that as we continue, it becomes more and more absorbing and less difficult. School work is enlivened by an occasional assembly, party, or dance given by the various organizations to one of which at least everyone belongs. In addition, there are different activities almost every night in the week—clubs for singing, dancing, riding, swimming, arid gymnasium. Anyone is welcome to assist on the publishing of the school paper and the year-book, thereby producing cooperation and understanding between departments. Completing the organization is the faculty whose interest and understanding assistance aid us immeasurably in attaining our goals, Elizabeth Burke 58 ACTIVITIES Mouwhan (loldenbery McClenathon Harvey Hob insmi Brownell Duckworth Batched!er THE CDCMITCCy CCTNCII Harriet Brownell .

This year thru the promotion of cooperative government and the revision of the rules and regulations of the Dormitory more harmonious group living has been enjoyed. One of the accomplishments of the Dormitory Council this year, is the recreation room on the first floor of Hie Dormitory. In this room the girls may entertain their friends. Also by the establishment of weekly coflees in the Dormitory a friendly feeling among the Faculty, city, and dormitory girls has been promoted. The Annual Formal sponsored by the girls of the Residence Hall is now known as the Fall Formal I rider the guidance of very capable committees this dance was a successful social event. With the cooperation of all of the girls, the Dormitory Council is having a very successful year. 61 Green Barkalow Burns Hubbard Stratton Baker Van Vlack Waterman Sell ilia STUDENT ASSOCIATION OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL James Barkalow, Electrical................................................President Willard Burns, Mechanical............................................Vice-President Dorothy Carlson, Retailing................................................Secretary Evelyn Bucher, Retailing .

Their purpose is self-government, promotion of extra-curricular activities, maintenance of high ideals, scholarship, and sports- manship. The Student Association fee has been increased to provide each student with a free copy of the RAM IK I IN, a free subscription to the PSIMAR, and to provide better support of the general program of student activities. A brief resume of the work of the Council for the year 1936-1937 is as follows: An improved guest ticket for student athletic activities was designed and intro- duced. The Men's and Women’s Activities functioned very well and some were carried over into the physical education program. Noon dancing was re-organized and music was provided by the radio-phonograph which the Student Council had purchased. The Student Council sponsored a Student Mixer to welcome those students entering in October. Plans are being made to collaborate with the Faculty to provide two receptions for the new students each year. These are some of the many things accomplished by the Executive Committee and the general Council with the aid of all the students. The assistance of our Faculty advisor was greatly appreciated. The co-operation of all organizations has helped to make this an outstanding extra-curricular year. 63 Edged Waterman Kantor Garrison GRCUP LEADERS CE ATEEETICX Dorothy Du Buis..........Basketball Sylvia Waterman.............Bowling Sarah Garrison Mary Edgett.

Swimming The new athletic program which was started in the fall of 1935 under the auspices of the Student Council has been carried forward with even greater success this year. Not only have these sports attracted larger numbers of students, but there have been also more consistent attendance and greater evidence of grow th in skills. Bowling at the Brick Church is outstanding in popularity. It has had a long season, with afternoon bowling for girls, and evening bowling for both girls and men. A men’s team, under leadership of incent Brown, has competed successfully with other city teams. Biding at the Armory and swimming at the Y. W. C. have attracted girls in good numbers throughout the school year. Basketball for girls has had a short but busy season, including match games w ith city teams. Hiking, bicycling, and roller skating have been enthusiastically attended in once-a-month events. class in ballroom dancing has been conducted under the auspices of the freshman class. The outlook in athletic activities is good, and there is every reason to believe that next year will see continuing enthusiasm, with development and teams and competitive meets in many of these sports. 64 Smith Keyes Betlinski BUlmufi Josephson Elliot Sullali Hazlett Hadslrom Colmn Colter man Green Phillips Chamberlain Davis Harvey Sormri Ichar lane.

Notable among the visiting speakers were: Dr. Walter Clark of the Eastman Research Laboratories; Mr. Rowland S. Potter, Vice-Presi- dent of the Defender Photo Supply Company; Mr. Joseph Dumb err, Tirnes-1 nion staff photographer; and Dr. E. P. Wightman, famed pictorialist. During the first month of school the club sponsored a non-competitive exhibition of work done by students and alumni of the Photographic Technology department. Later, during the school year, the club held three competitions among its members, and the prize winning prints aroused a great deal of favorable comment when displayed in the school library. Some were reproduced in the Sunday rotogravure sections of the Rochester newspapers. The Freshmen students have participated in the club activities to a great extent, and their interest can be depended upon to carry out the camera club traditions in the coming years. 65 Roberts MacGregor Elliot Tltode Messner Potter Morgan Phillips EUiotl Mow chan Collins M airhead flay Valincourt Carlson Coldenherg 1 an 1 lack Chalker Johnston Rauner Snyder Wend Niven DRAMATIC CLUE Elizabeth Snyder................

Aside from these plays, activities of the “Gargoyles” in the past year have in- cluded receptions for the Freshmen of each block, presentation of a group of plays at Christmas, a dance in February, and a banquet in March at which pins were awarded to Juniors and Seniors who had earned them. At the regular Tuesday evening meetings this year, we have bad classes in costume, make-up and acting. Membership in “Gargoyles” is open to all students and consideration is given to the kind of work in which each member is interested, whether it is acting, producing, make-up, costume, scenic arrangement, publicity or any other phase of dramatics. 66 Barkalow Besnecker Sehisler Gordon Fletcher Conlin Mabhett Simmons Miller Swanson Thomas Stork Toomey ELECTRICAL TTLCENT5 AJXCCIATICN Theodore Swanson Louis Stork .

Such information assists the student in choosing his vocation. The Electrical Students Association cooperated with the faculty and Seminar class in carrying out held trips.

The second new addition was the awarding of attendance pins to those who had a perfect, or a nearly perfect attendance throughout the year. Students that have come to I he (dee Club meetings have not only enjoyed their singing under the competent direction of Mr. Casad and his accompanist, Mrs. Quinn, but have felt a friendly and cooperative school spirit, A drive is made to help each member improve his selection of music and to develop his voice.

Roberts The “M” Club, founded several years ago when the wrestling and basketball teams were al their height, is gradually waning. This is probably due to the lack of interest shown by the students in answering the (‘all for these sports. Although basketball has retained its former status, the wrestling team has faded out of the picture. We hope this is only temporary, and that the students will respond to future calls for wrestling. As you already know, the members of the club were composed of the basketball and wrestling varsity men.

Treasurer The Mechanical Students Association was organized in the year of 1925 for the purpose of developing good fellowship among the students of the Mechanical De- partment. The continued success of the Association shows that it has achieved this purpose. The Mechanical Association has broadened the students’ engineering out- look by providing them with interesting motion pictures and many outstanding speakers. At the first meeting of this year, held on October 8, 1936, one of the members suggested that the Mechanical Students Association should be divided into two groups. Each group elected its own set of officers and these were responsible for the administration of the Association during the months that this particular group was in school. Officers and members were free to attend the meetings of both sections and many students working on cooperativ e jobs welcomed this opportunity of coming into the evening Mechanical Students Association functions and meeting members of the other section. In some cases this was a student's only chance to see what his cooperative alternate looked like. 71 Z inke DitBbis Goetel Hazlett Set) [field Robinson Foster Symrski Emens Horn Echier Mutch Anderson iauiiis The RAM I k I . now in its twenty-seventh year, again blossoms forth after a great deal of attention from the willing hands of every member of the staff.

Organized in 1935 by a number of enthusiasts, during the years 1936 and 1937, it has been approved and given support by the Student Council. During the season the team meets every Wednesday night, and thus far have bowled against Aquinas and R. B. I. The climax of the season will he a match against the Faculty to be held in the near future. 75 M usiuri Fotker Jacob Reran! Krajowsky ■BASKETBALL This year we had only three veterans around whom to build our team. However, we were very fortunate in having fine material from the freshman class. Coach Cohen nevertheless succeeded in drilling the players into a well-balanced team. Since seven of this year’s Learn are freshmen, they show signs of developing into one of the best teams in Mechanics history within the next two years. Although we did not win the majority of the games, our season was successful in view of the fact that our losses were by narrow margins and all games were well fought. The student body should feel proud of the team for they performed creditably at all times with good spirit and true sportsmanship. 76 [ AM I IT VLL TEAM MIKE KRAJOVVSKY—Captain of this year’s squad . . . the1 sparkplug of the (earn and an outstanding pi aver for the three years he has been on I he team.

On the basis of the early turnout, a schedule of seven meets was arranged. However, soon after the initial practices the squad suffered daily desertions until only a nucleus of about a dozen men remained. Recognizing that insufficient men were available to carry out the schedule, the Student Council ordered its cancella- tion. However, three teams, Toronto University, Case, and Kent were met on an unofficial basis. Against Toronto, Mechanics put five men in the contest, three of whom won. Mechanics lost against Case. After the Toronto Meet, the Student Council made a drive to bring out candidates for the wrestling squad. Again more than forty men reported. This time a majority of the candidates remained on the squad. If from this group sufficient men are available for a team next year, a schedule will be arranged. Varsity men who fought until the end are: Charles Edwards, heavyweight; William Bigelis, 175; John Kopczynski, 165; Robert Kleifgen, 155; Janies Castellano, 115; George Blount, 135; Earl Scherer, 126; and Arthur Roberts, 118. 79 Cline Garrison May Van Order Chamberlain Harvey Leave Slampe Wilson Appleyard INIEC-SCCCCITy COE NCI!.
