FOREWORD T..................................., 1 he publication of this book is the culmination of a year's work by the staff who have taken great pride in assuming the responsibility of recording the events of student life at the Institute during the year 1939-1940. They have attempted to place between the covers of this Ramikin a record of the Institute which will always remind its readers of the school, its faculty, its democratic student government, and its many and varied student activities. They hope that the results of their efforts will be a continued source of enjoy- ment to all of the student bodv as they leave the halls of their Alma Mater to go their own individual ways through life. 7 DEDICATION T Io George H. Clark, the friendly, unostentatious man we see at the Institute every day, we dedicate this twenty-ninth volume of the Rami kin. Long a friend of the Institute he has not only contributed in a mag- nificent way to its support, but he has served actively on its Board for thirty years and has been its Treasurer since 1920. His kindliness, his modesty, and his wisdom have won for him his many friends. S 9 CAMPUS VIEWS T jLhe year 1939-40 saw the materialization of the dreams of generations of students at the Institute. The Mechanics Institute Student Center, yet in its infancy, will always stand as a monument to those students who conceived it and to the successful application by the students of the fundamentals of democratic govern- ment. The Student Center has solved the problem of where the many organizations sponsored by the Student Association might meet. It also has provided a place where students could find recreation. Its spacious game room, lounges, and meeting rooms will long be remem- bered by the many students who so often have frequented them. IO I F. Ross 12 D. R■■■ . 3 F. Hoff I4 F.Rosi J5 J. Simpson ADMINISTRATION T JLhe administration and faculty of the Institute are completing another year of outstanding accomplishment in the held of education and the related occupational fields. The Institute faculty has continued this year to make many valuable contributions leading to improved student guidance, educational technique, and more thorough occupational training of students. The faculty group has kept itself alert to progress during the past year by carrying on ad- vanced study and by work in various industries offering experience in the professional areas of study at the Institute. The faculty looks forward to seeing the class of 1940 successfully complete their formal educational experience at the Institute, and to the classes which are to come, for their enthusiasm and desire for thorough occupational and social development. 16 Mautr M ay I take this opportunity to extend to all students and graduates my sincere good wishes and to remind you that the Institute is interested in continuing its counsel to all who wish to use these services. The problems of employment, of personal growth, and of advancement are recurrent throughout life, and it is to your advantage to maintain contacts with the Institute faculty so that they can be of continuing help. In general, those of you who have completed the formal portion of your education will see us some- what less frequently than students who are regularly attending classes, but it is important both to you and to us that we keep in touch with each other. We value your friendship highly and look forward to its continued growth throughout the years. 8 Dr. Mark Ellingson 9 BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ROCHESTER ATHENAEUM AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE Arthur W.

Thompson Trea t , University of Rochester MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 20 Clifford M. Ulp Counselor Tlhere is a growing realization of the applica- tions of art in almost every activity of life. In industry, in commerce, in education, and in the home, art fills an important place. In cultural de- velopment its significance is unquestioned. The purpose of rhe art school is to offer comprehensive educational experience and training enabling the art student to participate not only in the field of art hut also in the varied activities of communitv life. Although the school of applied art is one of the oldest departments of the Institute, it is well in keeping with the progressive philosophy of the school. Individualized education has always been necessary in the teaching of arc, and with the individualized program developed in the past few years, the plan of study has made the art program even more effective. APPLIED ART INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY Ejvery day, chemistry is taking an increasingly important part in the life of the average person. Synthetic substances are being developed that have new and amazing properties which render them far more useful and satisfactory than the ones which have been used up to now. New fields are being opened and demand is great for trained men to take ad- vantage of ever increasing opportunities. The chemistry department is well equipped to satisfy the needs of constantly changing and ex- panding industrial requirements. The course of study is being revised and renewed continuously with the assistance of industry. In this wav it is possible for the Institute to keep ahead of the de- mands of production and to serve it in the best possible manner. The training given by the department gives the student the opportunity to fit himself for super- visory and management responsibilities which aid him in securing a desirable position. Alfred A. Johns Counselor IT Earle E. Morecock Com? se lor ELECTRICAL 1 Jl he program of rhc Electrical department pro- vides cooperative training in the electrical field. The student progresses at his maximum rate toward his training objectives, and the subjects are ad- justed to meet the requirements of the cooperative job. The faculty of the Electrical department acknowl- edges with pride the friendships they have estab- lished and hope that they have contributed in some small way to vour success. To the graduates of 1940, the faculty of the Electrical department firmly believes that you will strive to maintain the high standards of those who preceded you; that you will gi ve your best to your employers and your com- munities; and that your interest in the Institute will continue for years to come. Of all the contributions which you have received and given during vour stay at the Institute, you may prize most, the friendship of vour instructors. FOOD ADMINISTRATION Ever since the founding of the Institute in 1885, training has been offered in the prepara- tion of foods, varying from the arts of home-making to the present day cooperative training in food administration. This department with its counseling service and individualized curricula offers to its students a choice in two highly professionalized fields: hospital dietetics and commercial management. The students of hospiral dietetics receive a com- prehensive course of scientific study, in addition to securing hospital internship as cooperative work; while students looking forward to the management of a commercial enterprise follow a similar scientific study and serve their cooperative apprenticeship in commercial establishments. Upon completion of rheir courses, dietitians usually secure positions with hospitals, or work on special laboratory cases; whereas the commercial management stu- dents seek positions in restaurants, cafeterias, tea rooms, or in their own establishments. Georoik C. Hoke Counselor 2.2. May D Benedict Counselor GENERAL HOME ECONOMICS JL ii e General Home Economics Course was estab- lished for the purpose of developing competency in the job of home management. This course offers formal training to those young ladies interested in the problems of home planning and administering the day to day needs of the home Budget technique and problems in personal adjustments consistent with successful living on changing income levels are an important study in this course. Skills in household production of food and food service, ot clothing, and home furnishing are developed to give a personal competency as a possible means of extending the family income through substitution of home production for cost of production outside the home, To give understanding in building physical and mental health and happy human relationships, a study is made of hygiene, psychology, and family relationships. MECHANICAL AND CONSTRUCTION D uring the past three vears, the addition of much new equipment of the most modern type and design has enabled the Mechanical and Construction department to greatly extend its usefulness. The faculty is constantly at work on the revision of text material in order to keep abreast of new developments in the mechanical industries. Graduates from the Construction Course are already making their way in the construction field in a very creditable manner although the first of them left the Institute less than eight years ago. To the energetic and progressive graduates, the training received in this course seems to offer ex- cellent possibilities. It is the wish and hope of the members of the Mechanical and Construction department that each graduate will continue to study and progress in his chosen occupation. Herman Martin Counselor C, B. Neblette Counselor PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY W, i le the Institute has offered work in Photog- raphy for more than a quarter of a century, it was not until 1930 chat the Department of Photographic Technology was organized at the suggestion of, and with the co-operation of, the photographic industry. It was organized to provide training for positions in the photographic industry and various branches of professional photography and these are its primary objectives today. Dr. Ellingson was Supervisor of the department from its organization until 1936 when he assumed the Presidency of the Institute, In that year the course was extended from two to three years. The department is now recognized as one of the leading schools of photography in the United States and is the only one with a three year course. PUBLISHING AND PRINTING o nly in its third year, the Publishing and Printing Department has already made a name for itself. With some of the finest equipment available which is rapidly being augmented, it is one of the most completely equipped schools in the country. Its program and methods of training have attracted wide attention among the leaders of the publishing and printing and allied industries as well as among prominent educators. There arc many schools which teach printing as a trade but the Institute is one of the very few which offer a purely professional course. Owing to the scarcity of educational institutions which teach such a course, the Institute has filled a great need of the publishing and printing industry. The field is an open one, particularly for men with professional training. This is evidenced by the fact that every student who completed the course last year found ready employment. Byron G. Culver Counselor 2-4 Edwin a B. Hog adoni Counselor RETAILING To answer the need for trained young men and women in the field of retailing, the Institute has for several years offered training in the activities of buying, selling, sales promotion, store manage- ment, personnel administration, and customer serv- ice. The students of this department have combined effectively the theoretical training and practical experience offered as their educational program. Todav graduates of this department are successfully engaged in executive and supervisory positions in many types of retail stores and in rhe field of retail education. During the past year knowledge of new developments in retailing have been brought to the students by several score executives, bv faculty members renewing then- store experience, and by both students and faculty attending national retail conventions. SOCIAL SCIENCE Tnr Department of the Social Sciences gives to each student the cultural background which, when combined with specialized departmental courses, gives the student a well- rounded program. This department is organized to work in conjunction with all other departments. Courses are offered in philosophy, psychology, economics, current social problems, study techniques, current events and English. The student is given an opportunity to present his own problems and to express his own personal views for discussion in these courses. The Institute is recognized by technical schools throughout the country as one of the leaders in the theorv that modern life demands more of its participants than technical proficiency. The pro- gram for the Social Science department is ever- changing to meet the scope of problems which challenge the students. The faculty of this depart- ment encourages all students to exercise their earnest co-operation making their time together score high in usefulness and friendship Calvin C, Thomason Head of the Department of the Soctal Sciences 5 Avery, Ralph Instructor, School of Applied Art Commercial Artist HickokManulacturingCom- pany; Director of the Rundel Art Gallery, Roch- ester Public Library; School of Applied Art, Mechanics Institute.

These students are closing the covers on a three-year manuscript of pleasures never to be forgotten. A book of fellowship that will linger in their hearts throughout many years to come. Dances and parties have been numerous and every one has been labeled “Successful'', Now they await the climax, the ever enjoyable excite- ment of becoming alumni of the Institute. The class of 1941 outnumbers the graduates of this year by only 15 students. To the Juniors go congratulations for being a hardworking group. Their cooperation during the past two years has marked them as being ready, able, and willing to cope with any situation in order to promote friendship and good feeling. They proved this by giving a Junior Prom that will be long remembered by the class members and all their friends who joined them on that memorable occasion. “Next year' , they exclaim, watch our smoke! The Freshman class boasts a membership nearly the size of the combined upperclassmen. Strangers on entering day, they have organ- ized themselves into a brotherhood that promises to mark our Fresh- man class as outstanding. Parties, although few, have been successful and the leaders have been located so that next year our today's Frosh will take no back seats for any one. With good examples of success having been shown to them they feel that they can pass a few on next year to the new entering class. r Rost 33 SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Clarence Smith Mechanical Merritt Sweet ...

After a preliminary two weeks of getting serried and becoming acquainted with traditions and fellow students, the class of 1940 began to function as an organization. By the turn of the year, they had sponsored a theater party and a highly successful roller skating party. The class then began their record of precedent smashing events bv sponsoring the first dance held in a decade bv a freshman class of the Institute. The affair was the Frosh Winter Frolic on the Sagamore Roof. Remember old Bets)-, the antiquated, pre-war auto, which was given as door prize? The class of 1940 sent us stock of popular informal affairs soaring to a since un- surpassed height early in the fall, with the Dude Ranch party at which the incoming freshmen were guests. The feature event of the year was the Junior Prom held in the Masonic Ballroom. An excellent orchestra, a marvelous floor show, and beautiful favors made this dance the outstanding affair of the year. The seniors moved into the linal stretch last fall and the executive committee of the class began the ambitious attempt of sponsoring one event for each block. High- lighting the parade of hits were the Halloween partv, the Treasure Hunt, and the informal benefit dance for Gordon Brown. The closing social event of our senior year was the Senior Ball. The final event of our Institute career and the one to which we have been looking forward for the past three vears, namely, Convocation, will take place on Mav 18. With this we will complete three of the fullest years which any class has ever experienced. CLASS Jerome R. A urns, Mechanical North Greece, N. Y. Phi Sigma Phi (1, 2, 3), Softball (2, 3), M. S. A.

We have but one regret; that the time has gone so rapidly. However, our record is a good one, with two very successful dances to our credit. The first was a costume Halloween dance. It was held in October in the Eastman Hall in an atmosphere typical of the season. A good orchestra and line refreshments assured all of an enjoyable evening. The second dance was the traditional Junior Prom held on the Sagamore Hotel’s Starlight Roof. The large number who attended and expressed their enjoyment indicated its success. Tlie class is now looking forward to its senior year and the many events which it holds in score. 79 Adams, L. Ambuske, V. Baldwin, M. Be v ala qua, V Bowllan, j. Agan, G. Amo, W.

Reynolds ACTIVITIES A 1 V new spirit of success in Institute organizations seemed to take place this year with the addition of the school's new Srudent Center. The coziness of the Center's meeting rooms revived the long lacking cooperation in every club, society, fraternity, and sorority. Organizations sponsored parties and occasional dances in the large and well furnished rooms of the Center. A bridge club was organized and held its weekly meetings every Thursday night. The Ramikin, Psimar, and Student Council staffs welcomed the privacy of the room assigned only to them for their work. The Glee Club and Gargoyles found pleasure in having more privacy than ever before allowed them. Department clubs and societies, seldom heard of by many students, became conspicuous by the large attendance at their meetings. The fraternities and sororities became envied for the social events they promoted in the Center. The warm reception given the Student Center this year assures it of the honor of being one of the Institute points of interest in the future. 94 F. fi « f 95 James G, Liccion StuiUnt Association President TO THE STUDENTS T Ihe time has again come for the Institute to graduate another class. This occasion should fill us with a desire to go forth and perpetuate the name of the Institute. As we go forth we cannot help but regret that we are ending three years packed with memories. During our three years at the Institute, there has been formed a bond which will always hold us close to the Institute. Some of us have experienced great successes and others of us have experienced failures and disappointments. Some of the friends we have made in school will be lifelong friends. These memories will help us all while away many a happy hour reminiscing later in life. As we go our separate ways let us all strive to make the Institute proud to classify us among her graduates. 96 Kloesz, Sweet Cox, Tobin, Ohm, Briggs, Jones, Sat a he, Wells Stratton, Swain, Ha Horan, Liccton, Bracbnyre, Price, Kupferschmid, Dans STUDENT COUNCIL President V ice- President Secretary I acuity Adviser OFFICERS James G. Liccion George Kupferschmid Albert Price Burton £, Stratton 37 Alfred L. Davis acuity Adviser THE STUDENT COUNCIL Is the student governing body and has control of all student activities. Its members are class representatives elected from the various departments by the student body. The main objectives of the Council are to promote self-government, extra-curricular activities, scholarship, good sportsmanship, and to maintain high ideals. Many of the problems rhac come before the Council each year are routine matters such as the approving of budgets for the various school activities, the Freshmen Mixer, revision of the Student Handbook, appropriation for non technical books for the Institute Librarv, and many other matters which make their yearly appearance. An assembly program was again sponsored by the Council. Various departments were asked to participate and the assemblies met with success. The Council again directly sponsored the award assembly. Besides these many important but routine matters, the Council has during the past year assumed two new but very important responsibilities. One of these is our new tennis courts of which we may feel justly proud. These courts were built with student money and have met with much success. Our newest and our greatest achieve- ment to date is our beautiful Student Center. With the help of the Board,the Faculty, and the Student Body, the Student Center at the Institute has finally become a dream realized. The Center is operated by student funds. Our new Center has solved many problems such as smoking facilities, lounging rooms, meeting rooms, and a score of others but it also has presented many other problems of administration which the Council has endeavored to solve for the best interests of the student body. The solucion of all these problems are only possible through the cooperation of the student body, the faculty, and our faculty advisers, Mr. Stratton and Mr. Davis. 9S De Bti.tchop, Cate, Brou rh’, Arnold, Broutiefl, C,t!.i ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Richard C.

We have tried to depart from tradition to make this year's Ramikin a year book which will be different from all those which have gone before and from all those which are to come. We have tried to emphasize the things about the Insti- tute which distinguish it from all other schools. It is our sincere hope that our efforts have not been in vain and that every time you browse through the Ramikin’s pages, you will be reminded of your Alma Mater. 101 Mannhardi, Bow I!an, ?£tterlind, Keller, Sharkey, Briggt, Price, Carpenter Lar %1 Holt, Rutter, Ha Horan, Patt, Clark PSIMAR STAFF John H.

Forced to decrease the size of the paper in order to make it a weekly, a small but efficient staff has, without a miss, succeeded in furnishing the student body with an up-to-date, detailed account of school activity. The well-knit foundation which has been laid this year together with the in- valuable experience gained will prove the groundwork for the final step in the Psimar s growth when, in the next year or two, a weekly paper of 5-column size will serve Mechanics Institute students In bidding farewell, this year's staff desires to thank faculty and students alike for their kindness and willing cooperation throughout the year and to wish next year’s staff the greatest success possible.

This group plans the various activities of the house, and, each year, revises the rules and regulations. The Council has had the privilege of meeting several times with Dr. Charcers, of the advisory board, and upon his suggestion, many new improvements in government have been made. This year, the program was one of many social events, including several faculty teas, and monthly birthday dinners. The Dorm Formal was the highlight of the year. The Director of the Residence Hall, Miss Florance Meyer, and her assistant, Miss Marv Jane Delama ter, have been most helpful to the Council, and due to their cheerful spirit of cooperativeness, the Dorm has been made a more enjoyable place in which to live. io5 MECHANICAL STUDENTS ASSOCIATION BLOCK A Anthony F.

During the month of January, we held a meeting at the home of Mr. Clark at which time we heard a very interesting talk by the well-known artist Mr. John Wen rich. Our active vear was brought to a successful ending with a banquet at the Univer- sity Club. Although we are well aware that we shall suffer a great loss in the graduation of our seniors, who have been so active in our organization, we are looking forward to an even more successful program for the coming year. 107 THE PHOTO TECH CAMERA CLUB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Frank Ross Robert Morrell Don Ross Jack De Lelys William Dellenback James Licciqn George Ball Since most professional photographers start as enthusiastic amateurs, it is small wonder that the Camera Club receives the active support of the Photo Techs, for they do possess the keenest interest in things photographic. To such regular features as picnics, parties, and candid nights on the social side and lectures and demonstrations of a technical nature, a new project was in- augurated this year. Believing that first hand contacts with some of the outstanding photographic artists of this country would be of unusual value, several of the top- most topnotchers were invited to appear before the group in a special series of lectures. Judging from the response received and the interest shown the continuation of this feature seems assured in the future. The Pictorial Exhibits, one of the organizations favorite activities, have been even more frequent this year with a considerable increase in participation as well as a continued advance in quality and interest. The public appearance of these shows in the school cafeteria has elicited much praise and has been the source of much satisfaction for the members of the club. 108 Snyder, Ha per, ft, Piersons.

Publicity Agent no The year 1939-40 has been one of the most active and successful years the Glee Club has had. There has been an active membership of 60 students throughout the year. Under Mr. Kendall s competent direction, the members have enjoyed singing many varied types of music including classical and religious selections. The season was enthusiastically ushered in on October 4 by a cider and doughnut reception to old and new members. The lust big event was the Christmas parry held just before the holiday vacation An evening of fun was preceded by carol singing around the neighborhood. A new plan of having a guest at each rehearsal to render an instrument or vocal solo as a special attraction was successfully carried through. An assembly program was presented on January 19th, featuring for the second consecutive year the popular male quartet and the baritone soloist, Wesley Miles. The Glee Club deviated from the usual custom of presenting a “Dramical with the Dramatic Club by giving a concert-dance on March 16 at Baseman Hall. This was very successful and it is hoped that it will become an annual attraction. The season was ended in true Glee Club style with a banquet, entertainment, and dance held at Edith Hale s on March 19th. All members expressed the regret that it was over, hut are looking forward to still another year of fun and activity. Smith. Gugel.

Plays produced were Ambition'', Mr. Flemington Sits Down , and The Ghost Story . Parties and a dance were held at the Student Center. Movies and two plays, Hamlet and “The Little Foxes were attended by the Gargoyles as a group. At the end of the year pins were awarded to juniors and seniors for outstanding performance in Gargoyle activities. The Club invites all students interested to become members next year.

In 1937 Chi Beta Kappa merged with Chi Delta Phi for the mutual benefit of each. During its existence this fraternity has been noted for its fine scholastic spirit and ability; the cooperation and participation in school activities and sports, Chi Delta Phi started its social season with its annual Rush Party held at the House of Foran with a large number of alumni, brothers, and rushees attending. Other social functions included dinner meetings, bowling parties, and as climax to the year's events the Fraternity celebrated its Silver Anniversitv with a Dinner Dance at the Point Pleasant Hotel on M iv 31st PHI SIGMA PHI FRATERNITY Albert Rogers . .

A counselor and three representatives from each of the sororities compose this council. As in former vears, Intersorority Get-Togethers were held in both the September and October blocks, so the freshman girls of the various departments might become better acquainted. On November 4, the sororities held an informal dance with the fraternities at the Knights of Columbus. The climax of the year was the Intersorority Ball which was held at the Roch- ester Club, April 20. Again the Intersorority Scholastic Trophy was awarded to the sorority with the highest average for scholarship. 1940-41 officers for the Council were elected in May. And so another eventful year has passed. 117 ALPHA PSI SORORITY Armande V an asse President Marjorie E. Evans . V tee-President Marion Hall Secretary Helen Shores Treasurer Miss Bertha Thurber Adviser The Alpha Psi Sorority was founded in 1920 with thirteen charter members whose affection for one another, and whose mutual interest led them into the union existing today. The ideals of the sorority are to live truly, play fairly, extend a warm friendship to the girls in the school, and to maintain a high scholastic standing. The sorority has sponsored many social events during the past year including several teas both for the pledges and the alumni. The rush party was held at Edith Hale's, and the formal pledge dinner at the Rochester Club. The social season was climaxed by the annual house party at Old Forge, New York, A wish for all the success possible is extended to those who leave the sorority this year. 118 DELTA OMICRON SORORITY Betty Sears............................................

Tennis at our new courts and softball at Genesee Valley Park started the season with riding joining them a month later. With cold weather halting these activities, bowling, swimming, table tennis, and badminton immediately took their place. Basketball and wrestling, our major sports, ended their seasons with excellent records. The basketball team won six of its fourteen contests while only Syracuse University was able to humble our wrestling team in its seven matches. With these two sports carrying us through the winter months and spring approaching both girls and fellows now have their eyes focussed on the newly formed tennis teams which have already booked several home and home matches. We wish them a successful season and hope that in the near future that tennis will become a major sport. in f. Jio .i H J Brodte Fuat ity Manager ■ BASKETBALL The 1939-40 Basketball Team has turned in the best season for Mechanics Institute in several years For the past few years, the teams have greatly improved under the supervision of Coach John Elberfeki. Forty students reported for basketball at the beginning of the season From these, Coach Elberfeid had a difficult task in selecting but twelve players for the varsity squad. Competition for place among the first twelve was very close, and some of lasr year's players were hard pressed by the freshmen. The team through graduation loses three good men, Captain Sam Coluccio, an excellent leader and one of the best floormen the team has ever had; Neil Fisher, a cool player at all times; and Harry Staley, a player who could always be depended on to do his utmost for the team. Next year should see still more victories for the Blue and Gray with several letter- men still on the squad Next year's hopes will be placed largely on Frank Beaty, Elmer Hess, Charlie Walker, Roy Kelso, and Boh Burke. Frank Beaty fulfilled all last year’s expectations with his consistent scoring and excellent teamwork; Charlie Walker, a freshmen, who proved to be a valuable asset to the squad; Elmer Hess, a calm, dependable doorman; Roy Kelso, another freshman who earned the right to be on the varsity squad; and Bob Burke, a consistent, cool-headed ball handler. Other fellows to be counted to do their part for the Blue and Gray next year are Don Sweet, a fast, capable floor worker; and Mike Rohde, Metro Kowilich, and Johnston Brodie, three fresh- men whose good team work is an asset to the team. The performances of Dave Groh and Don Wolz, last year's let termen, were greatly missed as they were unable to come out for the team. 12-4 MECHANICS INSTITUTE OPPONENTS 48 Gcnesco Teachers 33 71 .

Leggett Student Manager S, Hagberg Faculty Manager WRESTLING Wrestling team of Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute for the past season was not only successful in winning all hut one meet but also in showing a brand of sportsmanship that is seldom found in collegiate realms This remarkable record can be directly attributed to the cooperation of coach, wrestlers, and managers. Coach Ed Pike aroused the enthusiasm of the men to such a point that only Syracuse University could eek out a victory over the Institute team. Let us analyze the position of the Institute wrestlers in relation to their collegiate rivals. For the most part, colleges are four year institutions, many of which give scholarships, maintain training table and supplement these advantages with a com- pletely equipped gymnasium. The Institute has none of these yet it does have a wrestling squad that any college would be proud to claim. Graduation will take some of our best men, namely, Captain joe Conte, Jack Johnson, and Jerry Ricci, leaving posts that will be Idled by capable freshmen and juniors. The Institute matmen competed in five events at the Seventh Annual Interstate Invitational Championships at Cleveland. Although the team failed to take a first place, Bill Tarplec, wrestling at 165 pounds, took a second. Jack Johnson finished fourth in the 175 pound division. il6 M I X H A N ICS I NSTITV'T I OPPONI'.

A squad of fifteen men turned out for the regular weekly practices. The coach gave each man individual instructions on improving his game. With the first disappearance of snow from the newly acquired courts of the Insti- tute the squad resumed their practice out of doors. From the squad a tennis ream will be picked by Mr. Toporcer and home and home games with several teams will be scheduled. Among the opponents on the schedule will be Maplewood Y. M. C. A,, Brockporr Normal, Geneseo Normal, and Niagara University. With the enthusiasm shown this year it is hoped that the Institute will, in the near future, make tennis one of its major sports. 118 I 4 i This year the held of the extra-curricular activities has been broadened consider- ably with the addition of the school's new tennis courts. While the winter was in full swing the girls realized that the basic ideas and techniques should be well in hand and mind before attempting to go on the court So in the Boys' gym on Mon- days, the girls interested received very thorough instruction from Bill Toporcer, the well-known expert of the court When the courts open in the spring the training shall go on in a much larger scale. For the first time in the history of the Institute, tennis teams will he formed to play outside teams for the girls, as well as the boys. The line-up is short this rear, but this is only the beginning. This shall no doubt become greater as the rears progress. The team consists of Rosemary Miglow, Betty Booden, Gertrude Herman, Sarah Perm, Margaret Fuller, Rosemary Doerr, Bettv Sears, Eleanor Glosick, Jane Willis, ) Winona Williams, Mildred LeBaron, and Helen Stoddard. i ILi) Toporcer, Williams, Lc Baron, Bnoden, Stoddard, Herman Willis, Clorick GIRLS TENNIS Ross, Mattisort D h'rr, Cocora, Swartwt GIRLS BASKETBALL With the help of a few veterans from last year, the girls basketball team was organized and weekly practice sessions were held at the Brick Church gym under the able coaching of Miss Eleanor R eh berg. Because of the irregular attendance caused by the block system, the combinations of guards and forwards were continually being shifted and it was not possible to have a constant first team. Erma Swartout, Cannela Costanzo and Bridget Cecora took the part of captains at different times throughout the season. Others who attended regularly were Rose- mary Doerr, Margaret Austin, Sara Penn, Elizabeth Gray , Peggy Fuller, Sarah Ross, Jane Burkardc, Phyllis Engelson, Games were played with the Rochester Business Institute and rhe Dansvillc Merchant Girls. Orher games were cancelled because most of the players were working. SWIMMING Tuesdays and Thursdays are ladies' dav at the Rochester Natatorium, and that means swimming for the girls of the Institute. Even though swimming is more popular when the summer sun beams, there has been a steady turnout all winter for this, the queen of summer sport. Life guards willingly assist the face Roarer or aid the more accomplished swimmer, perfect her diving. GOLF Golf! Along with the echoing of these words came approximately fifty girls, each anxious and determined to develop her swing, strokes, and abilitv to follow through. The fact chat these lessons were held indoors, during February and March, at the Collins and Feller Golf School under the able supervision of Mr. George Collins, pro” at the Genesee Valiev Park Golf Course, provided many of the girls with spontaneous visions of outdoor lessons on the bright, green fairways. However, this enthusiasm was not completely satisfied because the lessons could not he carried on into April. It is evidenced, by the ever increasing annual turnout that the popularity of this sport is developing it into a fixed headliner in Mechanics Institute athletic program.

Only a rider can know the free and easy feeling cantering over the hills and through the woods—early mornings, or late afternoons while the sun sets in the distance beyond and wild life is scampering about for a last meal. Such is the typical experience of those who ride at Mend on Ponds Park every Fall and Spring. As winter closed in we retreated to the Culver Road Armory where we worked diligently to attain skill in horsemanship which was proudly demonstrated at the Annual Gymkhana in April. Some evenings, after an invigorating ride either at Mendon or at the Armory, were spent together at a Steak Roast or Cabin Party. It was during one of these moments of relaxation when the bright idea of steeple chasing came to us. A jumping class is formed. We are only in the primary stages, but with a good season and next year to look forward to, we plan to attain unlimited goals in riding and horseman- ship. 131 BOWLING Bowling began earlv in the fall under the direction of Mr. Duncan Seavey. One night and three afternoons a week were reserved for the Institute bowlers at the Brick Church Institute Alleys. Although no three hundred games were even ap- proached, all who participated in the sport agree that the results were very satis- factory. Interest in hoy’s bowling ebbed a little after the start of the season, so that it was necessary to cut the number of reserved alleys for the boys. However, there was so much enthusiasm for girls’ bowling chat another afternoon had to be secured. Near the end of the season interest in the sport was as strong as before. Next year should be bigger and better, so we hope to see you all again next year knocking the pins over. 33 BIKE HIKING An enjoyable informal way to get acquainted with the students of every depart- ment at Mechanics Institute is to attend one of the Saturday afternoon picnic bike- hikes at Genesee Valley Park. These hikes are always enthusiastically attended by students of all departments so it proves to be one of the best student mixers. Many candid cameras and sketch hooks are in evidence ready to catch students in action. Tumbles, talking, racing, exploring, Hat tires, getting acquainted, perfecting one’s riding technique, and sizzling steaks make this activity a popular one at the Institute. fi vati i, VitHtrtsoi, Xichois, Mi I nr. Bull, Grubb, Sibbtlmk GYM ACTIVITIES With the gym activities at the Institute only two years old more than a hundred students took part in a program featuring table tennis, badminton, tournaments, fencing, tennis practice and boxing. In the table tennis tournament for both A Block and B Block students Mike Rohde, B Block, defeated Bob Evans winner of the A Block. Last year's winner Bob Snyder and runner up Boh Parker were defeated in earlv rounds. Throughout the tournament all marches were closely contested with approximately 30 students taking part in this tournament. With 20 students participating in the badminton tournament, last year's winner, Bill Nichols, repeated with a very close win over Hank Mclver. At the end of four games only two points separated the scores of the two players. None of the scores in this tournament were walk-a-way as they were too closely contested. The tennis squads took advantage of the gym for early practice so that by the time that the weather permitted they were in good form. Enthusiasm for two new sports, fencing and boxing took a new turn in the gym and we expect to find these sports in future years to be quite active. In the future years we know that the gym will be one of the favorite spots of the sport enthusiast of the Institute. 133 . 11. Reynolds FEATURES Ve have spent much of our time in classes, lab- oratories, and on jobs this year. This time has been most profitably and enjoyably spent but we will long remember with nostalgic plea- sure the hours of leisure spent with congenial companions in our favor- ite haunts. Our Student Center has afforded us a most pleasant spot and absorbed many of our spare hours. This, the 1940 RAMIKIN, closes with pictures of us in our day to day pleasures. May we long remember this year at the Institute as one of the happiest of our lives. x?6 CALENDAR 1939-1940 Oct. 6 Buffet Supper at Dorm Oct 13 Student Mixer Oct. 27 Juniors Hold Dance at Eastman Hall Basketball Practice starts Oct 28 Senior Halloween Party Nov. 18 Dorm Formal Nov. 22 Thanksgiving Vacation Dec. 1 Senior Treasure Hunt Dec. 8 First Basketball game of year Dec. 22 Christmas Vacation Jan. 19 Music Union Acts to Bar Student Dances Feb. 17 Junior Prom Mar. 16 Glee Club Concert Mar. 20 Easter Vacation Apr. 6 Frosb Barn Dance Apr. 11 Horse Show Apr. 20 Inter-sorority Dance May 16 Rami kin delivered May 17 Senior Ball May IS Convocation Alumni Dinner Dance Frit}ted and Bound by The Leo Hart Co., Inc.
