Go rim. Gbarles jf. warner Our Esteemed Principal and Friend XVI-IO UPHOLDS ALL THAT IS BEST IN TECH, THIS FOURTH VOLUME OF THE ORIOLE IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED Z N preparing this, the Fourth Volume of THE ORIOLE, the principal aim has been to produce a book which should be purely representative of the school, its size and quality, therefore, have been determined solely by the Literary and Financial support of the Student-body. Every effort has been made to make the volume an improvement Over its predecessors and a creditable preparation for the time when THE ORIOLE shall stand foremost among High School publications. It is hoped that the book will be of interest, first, to the past, present and future members of the school, secondly, to the People of Springfield. THE ORIOLE Board of Publication for 1907 submits the results of its efforts to your judgment. Wherein this volume is a success, tribute should be given to the spirit which has made its appearance possible, its failures, it is believed, may be remedied by following the policy of the Management for 1907, namely, that of stimulating and strengthening the fine School Spirit which is characteristic of The Technical High School. 8 'Che wriole : 1907 V01 221 Contents TITLE PAGE .

ELLIS Head of Commercial Department 18 'Ciba Gvriole : 1907 V01-iv History of the Alumni BY FREDERICK L. HUNN, T. '03 HE idea of forming a Technical High School Alumni Association first presented itself to the - A class of 1903. Up to that time the school had ,gg Q33 graduated but one class, whose members were 'oo ' -05 so few that an association was deemed imprac- QO' f0fv ticable. Although numbering only eighteen 02 . 07 young men, nought three determined to take ,...,, upon itself the responsibility of organizing an il W, , AIIIA .WV Alumni Association. In june, 1903, after con- f- ' jg sulting Principal Warner and other -members of the faculty, an executive -committee was chosen to draw up a constitution. At a later meeting the following officers were chosen for the year: President, Frederick L. Hunng Vice President, Thomas L. Cowles, Secretary and Treasurer, F. Ray- mond Daboll. The class of 1904, numbering eighteen, joined the association in the following June. The nrst meeting, at which '04 was present, was held on the last Friday in june, 1904. About thirty fellows were present, and after the election of officers, Mr. Warner spoke on The Significance of an Alumni Association. The officers elected for the second year were: President, Joseph Pope, Vice President, Thomas Cowles, Secretary and Treasurer, Allen Pope. An executive committee, consisting of members from both classes, was chosen to arrange for a banquet to be held during the Christmas vacation of the succeeding school year: On the evening of December 28, 1904, twenty-eight of the Alumni gathered at the Cooley Hotel. Principal Warner gave an.in- formal talk on The Plans and Prospects of the New Technical High School. Through the kindness of the architect, the fellows were able to study the principal features of the new building. After Mr. Warner had finished speaking, the remainder of the evening was spent in talking over school experiences, and in lis- tening to selections on the piano by Herbert Hill, '03. 1 The next meeting of the organization was held during the Christmas holidays of the following year. Thirty-five members, representing the four graduated classes of the school, were present. After our customary good dinner, officers were chosen as follows: President, Arthur D. Lyman, Vice President, Harold E. Hart- well, Secretary and Treasurer, Arthur E. Soutrag members at large, Ernest W. Seaholm and James R. Gibbons. The remainder of the evening was spent enjoyably by all. TES. Che wriole : 1907 19 The following year notices were circulated announcing the fourth annual meeting and banquet to be held in the Cooley Hotel the last of December. Unfortunately for us our chief entertainer and member of the class of 1903, Mr. Hill, was united in marriage the afternoon before, and of course, was absent. However, the association Voted him their best wishes, he being the first mem- ber of the association to marry. The following officers were elected: President, John Williamsg Vice President, John Burleyg Secretary and Treasurer, Arthur E. Soutra. The evening brought together fellows who had not seen one another for some time. Toasts were responded to by members from each of the four classes. John William's treatise on The Relations Existing Between Our School and After Life, was especially practical and well chosen. In closing I would say, speaking for the association, that we sincerely hope that the present members of our high school and also all future Tech students may have as enjoyable and profitable a time as we had in old Mechanic Arts High. A 9 H 'q2:7 Q.'f5f'f ' 0 The fire saw his thoughtful mood and, ceasing w 20 Ube Gtiole : 1907 Vvf. iv The Flag-Pole on the MOUHtHlH BY H. MALCOLM PIRNIE 1 HE old-fashioned clock stood in the corner of i the large room, monotonously ticking away the F' ' tt minutes. The fire crackled and Hickered in the I' great stone fire-place as it slowly devoured the V large pine logs while the ruddy light rushed forth and danced upon the white walls seeming to hold itself away from a large dark spot, the A shadow cast by an old man sitting in a great ' chair with his head resting on one hand, dreamily EB watching the fairy light playing about the knots. its merry-making, began to form pictures of a handsome young man, a pretty wife, and a curly-headed boy. Then all the danc- ing lights found quiet places and watched the old man's past as it glided by. It was a Christmas morning forty years ago and the air was so bitterly cold that it sparkled in the yellow streaks of morning sunshine. The newly replenished ire roared with delight and shot its glad flames up the great chimney. A little stocking, bulging with mysterious bundles, hung by a string from the man- tel. Suddenly a sleepy sigh issued from the open door of a bed- room, but no sooner was it uttered than an outburst of childish joy announced that little Fred was awake and knew that the time at last had come to look at his stocking. He burst forth with a laugh that ended in a loud hurrah as he spied the long hoped-for wonder. Then he calledthat his Dad and Mother might see it also. Dad entered first, a tall handsome man with great broad shoulders and a face that beamed with good, cheer. He was followed by his pretty wife, a noble featured woman, small and delicate, with soft calm eyes that were mirrors of a good soul. They sat down by the fire and watched the sturdy little fellow as he dragged out the presents one by oneg a candy cane, T-HS Ubi? wriole : 1907 21 an orange, a wooden sword whittled from a pine shingle, a pair of heavy shoes, and, last of all, what was it? Dad, what is it? was the question that broke the silence. Well, they say at the town, as that be a tin model of a real engin, was the father's proud answer. Fred had often heard about engines but he had never pictured them to look so won- derful as the tin model. He forgot to eat his candy cane, forgot to play with the wooden sword. He only ran the engine back and forth in front of the fire. His father watched him and gave him valuable instructions as to which lines on the rag carpet should be the tracks, which the cross roads, and which the rivers or brooks. What a happy day that Christmas was with the sturdy boy absorbed in his steam engine, the strong father enjoying the pleasure of his boy, and the pretty mother rejoicing because the others were so gay. The clock told the hour with a sound like ten blows of a hammer upon an anvil, the picture faded from the fire and gave place to another. It was an autumn afternoon about ten years later. The father was driving home a yoke of oxen hitched to awagon loaded with yellow corn stalks. He stopped to rest on the crest of a knoll where he could obtain a good view of the town road along which he was expecting to see a lad coming with a bundle of books and a lunch box under his arm. Toward the west the road wound its crooked course to the big white farm house built against the foot of a high mountain. The lad came into sight around a bend in the road, and when he saw his father on the knoll broke into a run. Dad, he cried, running up to him, the railroad is coming through the town and best of all it will run over the very place that can be seen from our old mountain top. The father looked thoughtfully into his eager face. Be you as sot on bein' an engineer as ever? he asked. Yes, Dad, was the quick reply, Hand just think you can walk up the moun- tain in the afternoon and watch for my train to go by. Then when I rush over the place where I can see the old mountain, I'll blow the whistle and you'll see the steam, and know that I'm 22 Ube 011016 : 1907 V0f- iv looking for you. They said no more but slowly drove the oxen home where the mother was anxiously waiting for them. Fred unloaded the wagon and turned the cattle out to pasture. That night when the boy had finished his studying and gone to bed, his father broke a long period of silence by saying to his wife, The boy be sot on leavin' and it would be cruel to make him stay. I had hoped he would be here to run the farm when I got old and was fit to work no more. There be many hundreds of acres of timber land as 'ill want cuttin' in his day and aint ripe yet for me to cut. But if we ask him to stay he'll not be happy for his one ambition is to be an engineer. We must let him go, motherg he'll come home to us often. A log in the fire broke and rolled out on the hearth. The old man rose mechanically and pushed it back with the toe of his boot. Then resuming his seat he again became absorbed in the slowly passing pictures. Eighteen -years had passed since the boy left home and no word had been received from him at the old white farm house for more than ten years. The father had climbed the mountain late every afternoon to watch for the whistle on the little stretch of track. But this day he could not go up for his wife lay very ill and could not live. The doctor told him that her life lingered like the flame of a candle-and would go out in a very few hours. She talked of her absent boy. He isn't dead or he wouldlhave spoken to me in my dreams. I have seen him, though, oh so often in the past few days. He is in some distant place and can't get back to us. Last night I dreamed there was a tall straight flag- pole on the mountain top and that one evening, as you were taking down the Hag, an engine whistled on the track. It was Fred coming home. She stopped and turned her eyes on her husband. He was such a grand old man with white hair and a long Howing white beard. He seemed the reflection of the man by the fire. His eyes were filled with tears as he took the hand of the fading flower on the bed before him. She looked pleadingly at him and asked: When I have left you for a little while, I want you to do some- thing for me. Hunt through your forest and find the tallest TH--51 'Ctbe NUOI6 : 1907 23 straight tree and make it into a white Hag-pole, then put it on top of the mountain where he can see your flag and know you are watching for him. Will you do this just to please me? He sank on his knees beside her and murmured, Yes, he could utter no other word. Then she smiled and closed her eyes in a gentle sleep. Gutside the night was very still. A star lost its hold among a wealth of stars and shot across the heavens. The wintry wind ,moaned and slammed a shutter. The clock in the corner struck twelve and the old year melted into the new. Slowly the old man rose from his chair and softly began to speak. The new year be lonely without you, mother, and the boy haint come back yet. Yes, I have hunted the woods for nigh a year and have found the tree at last. Next summer I shall ask the town to a Hag raising and the pole will be sot in stone and cement. Again the shutter slammed and the wind moaned. The old man walked to a window, threw it open, and secured the disturbing shutter. Then he left the big room and went to bed. A great change had taken place in the town since the rail- road had been constructed. City people had built summer cot- tages on the hillsides that they might glory in the freedom of wild nature. They drove over unknown roads and felt like ex- plorers of old. Our favorite drive was to a mountain about five miles from the town where, in a blue distant mist, we could see the Catskills and looking towards the town we could see a stretch of railroad track, on which ran toy trains in a midget world. But the view and the beautiful drive were not the only attrac- tions. Standing close to the foot of the mountain was a large white farm house where there lived an old man, strong, slightly bent with age, with white hair and a long white beard. He would leave his plough and oxen standing in the field to greet friend or stranger and show him the view from the mountain. The village people called the mountain Snow's Hill, after the hospitable farmer who always made them so welcome on his land. Gne September it was announced from the pulpit of the little village church that there was to be a flag raising on Snow's Hill to which everyone was invited. So when the appointed day arrived there was a long procession of carriages headed toward 24 UDB NNOI6 2 1907 V01 iff the mountain. Every one who could leave his work and find room in some wheeled conveyance put on his best clothes and went to the flag raising in honor of the beloved old man. Mr. Snow stood on the sheep-cropped lawn, and, as the carriages arrived, greeted each person so cordially that the hearts of the roughest among the visitors were warmed. Soon the little party assembled on the top of the mountain and the people seated themselves in the form of a crescent on the slope of a mossy knoll. Before them were Mr. Snow, the village minister, and the men who were to lift the pole into place. The great white pole lay upon the ground as if resting before the long years of never ceas- ing duty which were so soon to begin. The old man stood forth to speak and every noise died away except the whisperings of a clump of nearby pine trees. He was dressed in a brown woolen shirt thrown open at the neck with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his brown trousers were tucked inside his leather boots. As he lifted his head to speak, a breeze parted his long white beard, flying it in streamers over his broad shoulders, and threw back his long silver hair, thus sharpening the strong and beautiful lines of his face. Friends, he began, we have gathered here to see sot up a tall straight pole to bear up above the tops of these mountains, the most wonderful work of nature, the beautiful flag of this free country. Now to find that pole and make it ready has taken me nigh a year. I have hunted for months through these many acres of tall trees, which God has given me a right to cut, before I found the one as lies here. One tree was straight and tall, taller than this one by many a foot, but when I hit it with my axe it gave a hollow noise and so I left it standing, sorry that it wasn't as good as it looked. A week after that I ran agin another tree that seemed good, but it had a crooked top and I went on with my huntin'. At last I found this one here, and felt that my long search was worth while. It's solid all through, and straight as an arrow, and'll brave the strongest blasts. Now I think about how my lookin' for the pole be like lookin' for the best and strongest men. The world be full of men and many of them look all right on the outside, but, when they have been sounded, prove too hollow for their place in life. Then there! are lots of men as are strong enough to stand where they YIH.S. TDC 93016 : 1907 25 ought but they're a mite too crooked, a leetle dishonest, but when the world finds a man as is upright and strong and can't be thrown by the strongest blasts, he's the man the worldwants but he's a scarce article. Such a man might not be known out- side a small circle and yet those as knew him would be better for it. This Hag pole would have lived and died without the high honor we are goin' to give it had I not found it and carried it from the forest, but the young trees as would sprout to take its place would be straighter and better timber for its havin' been there. f'Every morning I shall raise Old Glory on the mountain, that it may honor nature's highest work. Those of you as see it wavin' in the distance may know it's a signal of good cheer, and that the old man who guards it by night, so far separated from any neighbors, be still in the same world with you. An old man far away from you all but not lonely, for, though his wife left him two years ago, and his boy doesn't come back, he has given his life to his Maker, and while he lives he will keep the farm as well as he can for the boy, believin' that all is well for God knows best. When the old man finished speaking, the pole was pushed into place, the hole was filled with stones and cement, and the flag was hoisted amid loud cheers. Then the minister gave a short prayer, after which the people walked back to their carriages and started for their homes. One October afternoon the old man climbed the mountain to haul down the Hag for the night. The sun was sinking in the west, and he stopped, more from habit than with hope, to look toward the line of railroad track. In front stretched the tree tops, decked in all the colors of autumn grandeur and through a long leafy lane the piece of track was visible. Suddenly a train rushed by and a column of steam shot into the air from a place near the cabin of the engine. Was it the whistle that had blown, or was it again the safety valve which had deceived him once before? He was wild with excitement, and throwing the flag over his shoulder he dashed down toward the house. Half way down the hill he stopped, breathless from his exertions, and lay down to rest. The sun sank behind the hill. The evening star 26 CD6 0t'i01'6 : 1907 VUL iv took the Watch and held it until the thousands of diamond lights were shining on the earth, and then he too sank behind the hill. A man walked up the village road. His eyes were cast down, for his mind was laboring with strange thoughts. Soon he came to the old White farm house. There was no light inside but the door was unlocked and he strode into the large room. The old- fashioned clock stood in the corner monotonously ticking away the minutes. The dying embers in the fireplace gently crackled and Hickered. A shaft of Warm light came in the Window, re- flected from the glass front of a cabinet and found the man's face still troubled by the untold story of his long absence and adventures. But the face was handsome in its strength, por- traying a man like the flag-pole on the hill, high in honor, true to the core, and unchangeable in the roughest blasts of fortune. Suddenly all was deathly silent. The clock had stopped ticking, the last spark in the ashes had faded into darkness. With a dread foreboding the man rushed from the house and turned into the Wellworn path leading to the top of the mountain. Soon he stopped, for there by the path, with his head resting in a cluster of ferns, his eyes closed and his hands folded as if in prayer, lay the old man, his face upturned to the stars. It was very beautiful, peaceful, still. The long White beard was partly buried beneath an American Hag which lay across his breast, and a slender frost- bitten golden-rod had bent its head to mingle with the silver hair. The man fell on his knees and laid one hand upon the cold clasped hands before him. f'Dad, he cried, and dropped his head on the dead man's arm and wept. uh Q ,D 45 3 T.H.S- UDB 6911016 : 1907 27 About the University of Maine BY EARLE L. MILLIKEN, '08, T. '05 N MAKING another attempt to tell the fellows i, at Tech something of Maine, I Hnd myself fac- , ing in some ways a difficult task, and in others, a decidedly easy one. There are so many sub- C r Q jects on which I would speak at length, that to discriminate from among them and pick out - the most important is quite an undertaking. At the present time, however, I think that the most 1 important question in connection with the Uni- ' versity is the one relating to her finances. , In eighteen sixty-five the legislature of the LD- State of Maine provided for an institution to be known as the Maine State College of Agri- , culture and Mechanic Arts. This was a direct outcome of the Morrill Act passed in Congress in eighteen sixty- two, providing each state with the means and authority to es- tablish a college or university. I can best compare the growth of the University of Maine to that of the Technical High School. Old Mechanic Arts con- tinued to rise in prominence from eighteen ninety-eight to nine- teen hundred four, when the name of the school was set aside for the more appropriate one which it now bears. In like manner the Maine State College existed and grew until eighteen ninety- seven, when the legislature rightly changed the name to Univer- sity of Maine. During these thirty-two years new courses were constantly being added, in consequence, the institution was in eighteen ninety-seven thoroughly fitted to confer the B. A. degree. In nineteen hundred two, George Emory Fellows, Ph. D., succeeded Dr. Harris as President of the University. During these years of growth, the annual increase in the enrollment raised the cost of running the institution correspond- ingly, however, the trustees were allowed for the expenses only an amount appropriated every ten years by the legislature. It is evident that an amount appropriated for a growing institution one year is apt to be entirely inadequate for the next, to say nothing of the eight or ten years after. The appropriation by the state was, in eighteen ninety-seven two thousand dollars annually for ten yearsg in nineteen hundred five the additional sum of twelve thousand dollars was set apart for that year, and an equivalent amount for nineteen hundred 28 'Ciba NNOI6 : 1907 Vvl- 1.71 six. Since the first appropriation the enrollment has increased from two hundred to seven hundred. Due to this and the grow- ing needs which naturally come to an institution of the kind, it is evident from the above Hgures that at least three times as much income is needed to meet the expenses properly. The extra amount has not been granted, however, and only by the econom- ical and stringent methods of our president have we been carried over. At the time of writing, a bill is before the State Legislature asking for an annual appropriation of one hundred fifty thousand dollars. This sum is the total arising from taxing each dollar of property in the state three fifths of a mill. As the state valuation increases each year, such a scheme would materially increase the annual income for the support of the University. By the time THE ORIOLE is in the hands of the reader, there is little doubt but that this money, or the greater part of it, will be appropriated. Even though hampered by the lack of friends, the increase in growth of the institution under the circumstances may be readily seen when one glances at the strides which have been made up to the present time. I have entered into this somewhat ,detailed explanation in order that all of you who intend to enter some higher institution may at least have your attention attracted to Maine. To some men it will appear manifest upon investigation that Maine is just the school they desire. If an agricultural course is wanted, the finest in New England and the third best in the country is here. Our forestry course is recognized as one of the best preps for the advanced Yale Forestry School. The B. A. courses are as good as can be obtained anywhere in New England with the possible exception of those of Harvard. The College of Tech- nology offers engineering courses whose efficiency in the next few months is to be greatly increased by new apparatus and a larger faculty. Thus I ask you all who are about to choose a college to give Maine more than a passing thought. T-H-S ' UIUC NHOI6 : 1907 29 A Message from the West BY E. R. CLARKE, '03 T-'ii'lVIINING camp is amost interesting place to I visit for many reasons. It is of interest be- i . I ' cause of its products, its people, and its civilized s primitiveness. Does it not seem wonderful ! that, in the heart of a hill or down a valley, or I perhaps under one's very feet, lies a wealth of 1 mineral. One looks with astonishment at this A or that hole in the ground when told that many ' men have been made wealthy by the ore taken from it. To me, next to the production, the popu- Q B lation is the most interesting part of a mining camp. From every state in our country, in fact from all over the world, men come to the camps drawn by the hope that they may strike it lucky and get rich quickly. Another point of interest is the civilized primitiveness, as I have called it. You may smile at the seeming paradox, but it is an accurate statement of the conditions. On the one hand, men use their ingenuity to devise household utensils and fur- niture, while, on the other, they are provided with the very best articles that the modern manufactory can provide. Beside the big stone building on the corner is the single story wooden shack, across the street, built into the side hill, is a dugout, while a little further on is a tent house, in the stone office building electric lights are used, but the occupant of the dugout, tent, or shack uses a candle. Let me give you a little idea of Tonopah, Nevada, a mining camp in the heart of the desert. The town is built on the inside slopes of a horseshoe chain of mountains. Through the opening of the shoe one can see for miles across the sun-baked alkali Hats. In every other direction the horizon is limited by the tops of the mountains. The main street is crooked and steep, with wooden sidewalks in spots. At both ends of the street are boarding houses and shacks. In the center of the town are a few stone buildings, although the majority are but single story wooden structures. Scattered throughout the town are the big steel frames or hoisting cranes of the mines. Near each gallows is an immense pile of rock, called the dump, containing K'waste or low grade ore. Men are constantly heaping more waste on the huge piles, or pushing the little cars to the ore bins where E. 30 Ebe 011016 : 1907 Vvl- iv they are filled With metal and then sent to the refinery and the mint. In the middle of the afternoon, or late at night, one can hear the dull rumble of blasting in tunnels several hundred feet below the ground. The tenor of everything in the town is, D0 Something, Be somebody. The mountains, the intense blue sky, and the bril- liant stars are in themselves no mean inspiration. There is a freedom in the life that appeals to every young man, and Horace Greeley's Words, Go West, my boy, go West, still remain good advice.

I-Iowa? BY CLYDE M. PACKARD - EPTEMBER S, 1903.-Me and jimmy went to Mekanik Arts I-Ii Skool to-day. INe got pritty nervus wen we saw all the big fellers hangin' 'round the door for fear we'd get ducked like ., we heard they did to a teller last year. Q A Sept. 10.-They was a rush today. jim if in and me was in it. I hit one white haired feller 616 an awful crack and he hit me back. Wen I ' 1 got up a pen was stickin' into my head. a 1 Sept. ll.-Some sofmoors tried to put me ,qu J in the tank this noon, they didn't do it though. in 'Gia Env They ducked a freshman named Syrett and you orter seen him. Cracky but he was wet. Oct. 29.-Potsterity will have to exkuse me for not writtin something every day. To put past events into a banana shell? Ile say that about all thats hapened is that Jim and me has fixed it so that him and me takes turns doin the algebra lesson. l day he does it and copies a paper for me to hand in. The next da I do the same for him. Gct. 3l.F-Im writging this in bed, 9 A. M. I was two tired to writ this last night. Our footbawl team played the sofmoors and am so lame I uess I wont get up till noon. That white headed feller that hi? me in the rush stept on my head twice. Mar. 18, 1904,-Had a hot time to-night. Us fellers give the Senyers a reception. jim and me got live glasses of punch apease. Us freshmen was rather nervus but that wore off when the refreshments was served. May 2.-The '07 basebawl team played the State St. Grandma school. We beat. The way we chased each other around the bases was a cawtion. May 15.-I didnt feel like goin to Sunday school this morn- ing so Ile take the opporchunity of writting up my diry. Our class team has lost all the games but the one whitch I have pree- viously recorded an we are about sick of it so I guess we'll bust u , P June 6.-Ten oclock already and no lessons did. I wish jim has staid away to-night cause Ive got to do some studyin 42 Zlibe 915016 : 1907 Vol. iv to pass exams. Well I guess Ile risk not gettin called on although it makes you nervus to think the teacher is liable to quiz you. june 25.-Hooray im a Csofmoorj no Sophmore. jim tlunked his algebra but I squeezed through. I aint goin to write any more diry till school begins agin. We was all feeling pritty ner- vus when the report cards came out. Sept. 6.-Went back to school to-day. Our fellers look pritty big side of the freshmen, the size of them is a cawtion. Sept. 8.-Did some cleaning to-day. Winchester Park was so dusty we took some freshmen and did some dustin. Sept. 9.-Started to do some more dustin but was obstructed in our chairitible efforts by objections bein raised to ourthus laboring without compensation. Oct. 20.-Had football practice for class team. Didnt practice much cause Burlingame got into a scrap with the cap- tain about the right way to run the team. Nov. 4.-Our team played the Second High School team. We were all so nervus that we couldn't play bean bag. The way we got trimmed was a caution. Mar. 7, 1905.-Report cards out. Failed two exams. April 10.-Candidates for a Sophomore baseball team prac- ticed at Gunn's Lot. I guess it will be a great team because the captain didn't show up. Too tired to go to the library to- night. - May 23.-Went to library. Jim was there. Wanted me to go to the show. I went. ' June 26.-School over again. Flunked history. I hearby resolve to grind all next year. Sept. 5.-Had our seats assigned in Junior room. We have to walk straight now because we are Hmuddles of good behavior for the freshmen. They are pretty green. Guess by the looks of the first entries in this diry we was about the same. Nov. 21.-Go to the White St. kindergarten now. Have to go by a pig pen on the way to school. Burr has started a class for the firtherance of scientific stone propelling he says. His pupils practice on the pigs. b Nov. 29.-Burr and Hume both hit a pig this morning. I hit the coon that chased us. Have discovered that soft coal cinders make better ammunition than bricks. Ian. 9, 1906.-Cutler fell into a ditch in the new gym. and hurt himself. We are going to the new school now. Stent and Grout had a great time getting him out before any of the teachers should catch them in the front part of the building. Jan. 12.-Burr has found that chalk makes better throwing material than cinders. Has communicated the fact to the rest T-H-S 'CU36 wriole : 1907 43 of the fellows. As a result he has got a bad eye from a piece of chalk propelled by Crowther. jan. 15.-If you can't find anything that belongs to you look up in the heat pipe for it. I found my hat up there to-day. plan. 18.-Stibbs climbed out of the -Tunior room onto the roof of the machine shop. The boys shut and locked the window after him and forgot to unlock it again. If the engineer hadn't happened around he would have had to stay out there all night. Feb. 19.-The fellows have organized two indoor baseball teams, the Monks, with Palmer for captain, and the Bun- eaters, captained by Long. They play games before school, between periods, at recess, and all other times when the teachers happen to be out of sight. Sometimes, though, the boys are in sight of the teacher when the teacher is not in sight of the boys. On such occasions games are liable to be postponed on account of bad weather. Feb. 26.-Oriole fair held. Glad it's over but had lots of fun. We felt rather nervous about its being a success but the way our things sold was a caution. The game of circle the posts, in the assembly hall attracted a crowd. Feb. 27.-Some one stole the ice cream left over from the fair. We wonder who it was. Mar. 9.-Am horse as a crow from singing. Went down to junior-Senior dramatics, sang songs and ate fudge until they turned the lights out on us. I-Iighton, Erck, and Mowry were suburb in the witch scene from Macbeth. June ll.-This week is junior week. Raised the good old tea sign to-day. We are planning to have a big blow out. June 12.-Ivy day. Planted ivy on north side of mechanical wing of building. President Syrett made a speech and we all took turns scratching dirt into the hole. june 14.-GRIOLE came off the nest yesterday. Sold pretty well but there are plenty more left. Moonlight sail and dance last night. Everybody enjoyed it. Long picked up all the corks he could find around the grove. Said he was going to sell them but we know better. Saw moon just rising as I crawled into bed 1:30 this morning. A June 15.-Gave a reception yesterday to the Commercial juniors who will join us next year. In our explorations we found the big tub of punch in an out-of-the-way corner. Johnny Scott immediately endeavored to show some of the girls the conven- tional methods of mixing soda. In the process of his evolutions he poured a lot down his sleeve and gave Miss Prouty a bad duck- ing. Establishment of Oriole fund announced in assembly hall. 44 'Gfbe Nriole : 1907 Val. iv Successful week over at last and we are all feeling happy. Nothing more doing this year. june 25.-One more school year over. Another one and it will be over for the last time. Time do be a Hyin' and we've got to flea to keep up with it. In one way at least we have learned something this year, that is in the line of conduct. We have realized that it is wrong to throw chalk or to play games when the teacher is absent. Sept. 7.-It seems like going to a different school this year. Oh my but it's queer to see all those girls Hitting, fluttering, flounc- ing about the corridors. The size of the freshmen, too, why you have to look down all the time for fear of stepping on them. Sept. 13.-Am feeling pretty poor, for all I like the girls so well I can't get acclimated. Guess Ile have to take a vacation. I-Iarold did take a vacation. I-Ie sadly but gladly resigned his arduous duties as secretary of the class in favor of Miss Fredette, and went out camping to restore energies expended in the ser- vice of his classmates. The following entries were written while he was under the influence of the forest primeval. Sept. 18.-Heard to-day that Stihbs is going to the had but that Foster, on the contrary, is studying so much that his hair is turning gray. Sept. 29.-Got word that the Blonde Twins gave a dialogue in the hall. It was written by S. Walter Erck as a companion piece to his highly successful comedy Who Threw Pease into the Sink, and is called The Lunch Counter Pirates, or How the Graft was Discovered. Health is much improved. Shall return to civilization to-morrow. Dread it, though, to a man of my bashful disposition the excessive rustle of numberless petticoats is odious and they certainly do rustle these days at old Tech. T.H-S- Che C9t'iOl6 x 1907 45 A Senior Prophecy BY RAYMOND A. DENsLow AND GRACE I. GEORGE. I-IE following epistle is part of a correspondence which took place in the year l937. It is ad- L L. dressed to Mr. Walter IN. Syrett, President of v . - - the United States. HDEAR WVALTER: S Ld '-'I havelreceived your letter of the twenty- YD hrst instant in which you state that you cannot K W appoint me Ambassador to China. You say CC? that the term ambassador means representative, i i and that you are afraid that my well known i honesty and straightforwardness of character E B. will not, although you are ashamed to own it, -1-'-T' properly represent the American people at the Court of China. For such sound reasons, I reluctantly come to the conclusion that you are right, although I sometimes wonder why you, the first President elected by the Prohibitionist Party, should not wish to send to China a man of such qualities as those with which you credit me. In,your last favor you asked me if I could not give you some information as to the whereabouts and occupations of our old classmates at the Technical I-Iigh School. I am able to do this, for I have been interested for some time in the same re- search myself, and during my leisure hours have compiled a record of the professions of the members of nought seven up to date. I shall, of course, begin this little history with an account of myself. I am an actor of Shakespearian plays, appearing principally as Shylock in the Merchant of Venice. I am married and have a daughter, jessica, whom I expect to put into my cast when she is older. Several others are on the stage. Anna Woolmann is sing- ing in the opera f'Poster Bill by George Stent. She is drawing all the crowds this week and so poor f'Will and I are playing to empty chairs. Although they are not exactly in the profession, I shall include two more in this paragraph. I-Ielen Dunleavy is lecturing on Women's Rights and Gertrude Manning on Self Control. They appear together, Gertrude's firm jaw and confident manner effectually backing up the unobtrusive quietness of Miss Dunleavy. Many of our members are engaged in educational pursuits. Packard is teaching History in the old school. In the same insti- tution Ethel johnson is teaching Spellingg Clara Maynard, Ste- 46 Tribe SUOI6 Z 1907 V02 iv nographyg Edith Prouty, Dancing, John Burke, Typewritingg Ruth Bradley, Physical Tortureg and Franklyn Stibbs, Theology. Archie Cutler is also connected with the school as Permanent Art Editor of THE ORIOLE. Henry La Montagne has received the appointment of Professor of Modern Languages in a district school at Pumpkin Center, Mo. Harold Jensen is Professor of the Jensen System of Shorthand in the University of Chicopee. Two of our friends have adopted matrimony as a profes- sion. They are Hazel Adams and Erck. I don't mean that they are married to each other. Oh no! and it is not necessary to tell you whom they have married. While strolling through the streets of the cities of North America, I have run across many of our class-mates who are en- gaged in business. Long and Walker have succeeded Beemis and Call in the wrench business. They make a specialty of mon- key wrenches. Mowry is accumulating a fortune manufactur- ing his writing machine which he invented while at school. Crowther deals in Dressmaker's Supplies. Cardwell manufac- tures History Notebooks, and Foster sells Foster's Unbreakable Test Tubes at St. Louis, Mo. At Chicago I heard that Mildred Atherton has established a Home for Motherless Children. Palmer and Miss Daly are in the Notion and Post Card Business. Cowan, Clarke Sc Co. are engaged in the Fudge Trade. While strolling through Kalamazoo, Mich., I noticed this sign, Le R. Endicott Sc Co., Decorators. In the window was a smaller sign which read, 'Do not ask for credit, none will be given, per order of Lucyf It seems that Lucy runs the business to suit herself while poor Endicott only looks on. Bliss and Frost are the greatest Saur Kraut manufacturers in the country. . Of course I need not inform such an opponent of monopolies as yourself that Otto H. Eschholz is the head of the Doughnut Trust. You may not know, however, that his silent partner is Howard F. Abbe, at the same time you will not be surprised, for they were such friends at school. Grout has just been elected President of the Brother and Sisterhood of Telegraph Operators of America. It is strange how that boy has steadied down since he has had to earn his own living. I have sent three letters of inquiry to Burr who I have at last learned is in California. He writes that he has just dis- covered that his little son, Aaron, has been collecting my letters as curiosities. I was at first inclined to be offended at this re- flection upon my writing, but his letter was written in such a polite manner that I overlooked the matter. He informed me that he is a partner of Luther Burbank, the great naturalist, and that they are engaged in perfecting an improvement on the American mosquito. A short time ago, while in jersey, a big bug about T.H.S. CD6 S9t'iOl6 : 1907 47 an inch long bit me upon my nose inflicting two horrible bites at once. I suppose this was a specimen of their improved breed. Vlfhat a Wonderful progress Science is making! After the per- formance, the critics informed me that I had grown to look more like Shylock every day. I used to think I was pretty sporty, but I have outgrown that since I was married. By the way, I learned that Ethel Very is employed by the Edison Phonograph Company in making records. Mabel Farrington has given up her famous chicken farm in East Longmeadow and has taken a position in a lawyer's office as stenographer. Several of the old crowd have become famous through your own acts. It was the fact that you appointed Robert Crane Secretary of State, john Boyle Postmaster General, and Al Hastings Commissioner of Phonetic Spelling, that made me believe that you might send me to China. Crane is enjoying himself, I suppose. He always did like to be running something, whether a Sunday School or a circus, it mattered not. And Boyle has succeeded at last! I-Ie surely ought to know his busi- ness, from delivery boy up. Some of the best authors of the day were graduated with our class. You must have heard of, if you have not read, such books as: 'The Whiskey Rebellionf by Dutch Winter. 'The Travels of johnny S,' by Rose Lynch. 'Rules for Playing Center in Basket Ball,' by Edna Martin. 'The Advantages of a Vegetable Diet,' by Lula Rey. 'The Way of Wrightf by Hazel Adams. You probably remember Sarah Fredette. She has demon- strated her good taste by choosing for a life-long companion a light curly-haired young man who was prominent in school when a Freshman. Thomas and Miss Adelaide Daly are still in the Springfield Library. Adelaide's hair glints in the sunlight as of old while she flashes here and there directing the assistants. Thomas is the same old 'Windy,' always helping a fat lady up or down stairs, or doing some beautiful, saintly act. Oh, he will go to I-Ieaven. This ends the record. It is true to the extent of my ability to learn the truth. A few of the facts noted in it will doubtless surprise you, but the majority of our class-mates have taken up professions for which they showed a tendency while at school. I shall present my play in Washington during the latter part of next month, and I should be pleased to see you in one of the boxes. You may have reduced rates. If you are as friendly with the Senate then as you are now, bring it along too. Sincerely yours, I-I. L. B, 48 'CEI36 wriole : 1907 1702. iv A Prophecy on the Prophets BY GEORGE R. STENT A wander-lust seized me soon after leaving school. I roamed all over the known world, finally depositing myself in Paris without- means. Here the lust left me and I was most anxious to return to my native city. Nevertheless, it was necessary for me to work in order to live, moreover, before returning home, an improve- ment in my Hnancial condition was desirable that I might boast of a surplus. Years went by and still I stayed in Paris. At last, however, circumstances permitted my return to old Springfield. I boarded a trans-continental train and a few hours later was gazing, open rnouthed, at factories which had been built since my departure years before. Over the door of the highest Hskyscrapern among them all hung a sign shaped like a hen. 'fThe R. A. Denslow Automatic Hen Company was the legend it bore. I dashed into the office anxious to renew acquaintance with my old class- mate. I saw before me a man of aldermanic proportions, who, after careful scrutiny, proved to be my old class-mate, Raymond Denslow. Mutual recognition followed, and we settled down to discuss our past experiences. Strange to say, I found that Raymond, who had exhibited all the ear-marks of a politician in school days, had turned inven- tor. He was now the sole manufacturer of the Automatic Hen. He told me that after leaving high school he had gone to Amherst Agricultural College. Here be became so enthusiastic over an invention which he believed would fill the place of a hen, that he fell behind in his studies and his father took him from school. Still he worked on his patent and, having perfected it, borrowed enough money to build a large factory. All the hens happening to go on a strike about this time, his venture thrived and he was soon able to pay back the borrowed money. Mr. Denslow finally showed his patent hen. It consisted of a shell, shaped like an ordinary hen, inside of which was a mass of delicate levers, gears, cams, and wheels. This bird,,' he asserted, would at regular intervals lay eggs, every one of which he could guarantee. However, he continued, wif every one proved good the machine would not sell, people would think it was something supernatural. He then went on to tell me that once in a while a little HQS was given to Biddy to make one or two eggs bad. Thus the hen was made more like a Umortall' one. T-H-S , Ube C9t'iOI6 : 1907 -19 After recounting his own success, Mr. Denslow proceeded to relate the fortunes of our classmates. After telling him my history and receiving a cordial invitation to spend the night with him and Mrs. Denslow, I boarded a car for East Longmeadow. Determined to reach the outskirts of the city and find out how far it extended, I left the car and started out on foot. After traversing seemingly endless streets, Hanked on each side by rows of houses, I at last reached open country. On and on I walked, viewing the quiet landscape with pleasure. The farms and woodlands were a 'vivid contrast to the heated city behind me. At last I came in sight of a little red school-house that still held its place in spite of the rapidly growing surroundings. I directed my steps toward it, curious to see a good old-fashioned district school in operation. As I came closer, I heard the click, click of typewritersg upon looking in, I was astonished to see the smallest children diligently at work, taking down exercises in shorthand or typewriting, as fast as though they feared the end of the world would overtake them. All at once I became aware that someone called me by name. I turned, and there, standing on the teacher's platform, was a dapper, good-natured looking person with face wreathed in smiles. In an instant I recognized Miss Grace George, strange to say still Miss'l and not Mrs She was as surprised to see me as I to see her. School being dismissed, we sat down and had a pleasant chat over old times. I learned that she was now principal of this little school which was the 105th District Branch of T. H. S. Finally, as it was growing late, I started towards the cityg Miss George, accompanying me as far as her boarding house, talked rapidly all the way as was her wont to do. ' That night, after returning to Denslow's, I lay awake a long time comparing my unsuccessful efforts with those of my happy classmates, and I really envied them their success. the 311016 Z 1907 Vol. iv The Seniors' Lament We're leaving, dear school, We're leavingg No longer we'1l haunt thy halls, And make them echo with laughter, Or ring with our happy calls.

T-H-S TIDQ 00016 : 1907 53 Junior History BY JAMES T. CULLEN AND EILEEN M. SHEA CHAPTER I About the Tech Boys Before the Coming of Zhe Girls has attained the exalted rank of uniois W can hardlx belieke that two summers have come and gone since the dajs of rushes and lollx pops on 'Winchester Park Such is the case however, and the periods spent at State Street and White Street remain only pleasant reminiscences. During the first year of our career we were j not very pretentious lads as is the case with most Freshman classes. Because of constant quizzing by upper classmen the boys in green y .proceeded to elect their otlicers, with the result fthat these enterprising representatives were shown the folly of their election without a constitution. Soon afterward a new set of officers was installed in the proper manner. Everything was strange and novel to the children, as we were called. The boys appeared to have an ardent desire to see the shop motor started, and incidentally to magnetize their chisels. During our Freshman year we took delight in watching the cir- cular saw, which was just like a saw-millf' while in Physics, the number of mistakes we were able to make in winding motors was truly marvellous. Nevertheless, when those nought eights began to turn wood, chips flew in a most approved styleg when a piece of stock flew from a lathe and across the room, stopping with a whack', against the wall, we also received the hearty ap- proval Q?j of the instructor. The conduct of the boys in the drawing room was exemplary except in one particularg we must admit that we did enjoy watching the ringing of the fire-bell in the tower of the engine-house which was situated behind the school. At noon the school-yard was full of urchins, some of whom amused themselves by blowing the horns of Knox automobiles, while others played baseball. Certain little Freshmen in the Chemistry room Cexcuse my memory, 'OSD found enjoyment in administering the water cure to upper-classmen who were playing quoits below. The way of the transgressor, however, leads to the office. Although the Sophomores looked aggressive occa- sionally, they confined their misdemeanors to remarks. Thus passed the first year of high school at State Street. l A NOTI-TER year has passed and the Class of 1908 I 1 4 J U R I e E B. 54 CD6 Ntiole : 1907 Val. iv The second scene in the act of school life was opened at State Street under slightly different conditions. We were Sophomores. The strain of auditing our finances was such that our worthy treasurer was obliged to leave school, while the first year's pres- ident, fearing a repetition of his Freshman experiences, decamped from our midst after three month's rule. Our energetic spirits, which were by this time assuming a dangerous aspect toward the Freshmen, were dampened by the announcement of a temporary exile to White Street. Their buoyancy, however, was restored by the fruitful condition of the apple crop. While in the wilderness, some nought eight genius discovered the chemical formula: sodium plus ink equals broken ink-well plus stained ceiling. It proved not very valuable to the science of chemistry and expensive to the experimenter. The first week in january we entered the mechanical part of our new building. Here there were more opportunities to investi- gate the different mechanical and electrical devices. One of our number remembers that there was too much of a chance to pull the recess bell-rope. We have not forgotten that nought seven can make good lemonade, or that it was poor policy on their part to leave it in the corner of the room during a nought eight English period. The school activities in the new building were necessarily a little hampered, but the improvement of conditions over those at State Street was so marked that by the end of June we found our recollections of the times in T. H. S. of old a little blurred. CHAPTER II S Concerning the Nonght Eight Commercials Before Their Entrance . into Tech During the summer of nineteen four the successful pupils of the ninth grade were the recipients of a notice which gave full particulars in regard to their entrance into the Central High School. On the appointed day, about three hundred inexperienced youths wended their way to the house of wisdom. After much confusion they succeeded in locating their various rooms and, save for an occasional pupil losing his way or misinterpreting signal bells, they settled down to hard work with surprising willingness. That Freshman year was rather uneventful, due no doubt, to the afternoon session. The building was over crowded thus necessitating that the first year class go from 1:15 P. M. until 4:45 P. M. We had little to do with our superiors and they neglected us, for we did not organize until the last month of school and then with the assistance of the Seniors. When we had climbed the next round of education's ladder, things assumed a very different aspect. The Sophomores were TH-51 UDB 03016 : 1907 55 allowed to go in the morning and they greatly appreciated this privilege. Chapel twice a week in the assembly hall, a rare treat heretofore, enabled us to meet our upper classmen and enjoy the short talks of our principal or of an occasional visitor. Then, too, a half hour's recess gave one an opportunity to partake of a lunch and stroll about the school grounds. The class held a meeting and chose its officers early in the Fall. The selection of class pins was probably the most important business transacted during the year. Two pins were put before the class, each being supported by a different fraternity. There was no little trouble about the designs and, as is perfectly natural, the pin which had the more influential supporters was recognized as the nought eight class pin. The defeated side and its fol- lowers lost interest, consequently, class spirit vanished. Things were at a standstill when our city fathers announced their intention to move the commercial department into the new Techni- cal High School. Numerous advantages and many disadvantages loomed up before us. At the close of school we bade old Central afond farewell and eagerly anticipated our entrance into the new building. CHAPTER III A Story of the junior Class 1906-1907 After a long vacation, we returned to our school duties with renewed energy. The new rules, made necessary by the different conditions in the new building, seemed at first very inconvenient. We were obliged to walk one abreast because of the narrow cor- ridors, while the size of the lunch counter, being inadequate to meet the demands of the school, entailed many unpleasant regu- lations. Outside we were admonished not to keep the grass off. As might he expected of two strange courses, we did not mingle much with our classmates across the hall. Accordingly, a social was planned by which the pupils of both courses might become more united. We were not long in discovering that one of our members was showing symptoms of a disease which, it was decided, should be eradicated. A matter of such import- ance demanded a joint meeting of the students of the different rooms to decide upon the best cure. As the case assumed a criminal aspect, the poor unfortunate, at a special sitting of the superior court, was condemned to hard punishment. The general satisfaction of disposing of such an outrageous character was such that the students mingled together, irrespective of courses, and spent a pleasant evening meeting one another. We are now sailing smoothly and shall anchor at Senior Harbor next September for a year's stay. The account of our sojourn will be a tender recollection of Technical High. 1,..5,g...

CHAPTER I F PRINGFIELD,'l shouted the trainman, and many Q of the passengers, including myself, gathered up , our baggage and made ready to leave the train. As we sat in readiness to depart, my mind re- verted to a letter I had received, the cause of X1 my present journey. Its contents in part were f as follows: I-Ierbert Pease, author of the letter N and a former classmate of mine who had now become an eminent scientist, had conceived a was also hollow and perhaps inhabited inside, furthermore, he argued that the poles were not poles in the generally accepted sense of the term, but simply large openings over one thousand miles in diameter which connected the outside world with the un- explored interior. This theory he determined to test, and, with this project in view, he had selected a party of six persons, in- cluding myself, to do some exploring. The journey was to be made in an airship which he had built for the purpose. Aroused by the hiss of the air brakes as the train stopped, I grabbed my grip and, leaving the car, swung down the steps into the depot. I-Iere, as when I had last seen it, all was bustle and confusion, but a new depot had supplanted the old one. With but little diffrculty, however, I made my way out and found my- self on Main street. After waiting an hour or so the right car finally came alongg I boarded it and made my way toward the beautiful rubbub of Indian Orchard, where Pease resided. As the car passed down Main street, I remarked to myself that the city had not changed so very much during the past quarter of a century. There were a few new buildings, but the most familiar site was Court Square which had not as yet been extended to the river. There were, however, some rumors afloat that perhaps before the year two thousand had arrived, there might possibly be an extension added, provided the city hall was built by that time. - From these reflections my thoughts again returned to my former schoolmates and, as I wondered what had become of each, 1 2'- IN U 'its V theory that the earth, as well as being round, V R 58 'Gbe NNOIC 2 1907 Vol. iv my attention was attracted by a poster before the entrance of the Y. M. C. A., which stated that Mr. Ralph Parker would speak the following week on 'The Fight For Glory' or, 'From Prize Ring to Pulpitf being my life experience, so far. It was a good thing that the so far was tacked on for, although Parker's am- bition while at school had been to be a ladies' man, we had all felt that he was destined to be an inmate of a lunatic asylum, if he escaped hanging. It was evident he had escaped both so far, alas. By this time the car, which was a suburban express, had carried us well out of the city limits, and soon the welcome cry of Indian Orchard from the conductor, informed me of the fact that I was now in Peaseville. I alighted and asked a native the way to Pease's home. Oh, he said, that's easy, it's the only house on the street with clapboards laid three and one-half inches to the weather. With this minute description and a foot rule, I had no diliiculty in nnding the house. I walked up the steps and rang the bell. Hello, the door swung open and the benevolent Visage of Bert Pease was before me. So you've come, have you? he chuckled. I hastened to assure him that I had not, but I should probably arrive on the next train. Come in, will you? he suggested, as though I had expected to stand on the doorstep all night. We entered the drawing-room where I was greeted by my old friends Fred Lane, Howard Case, and Kenneth Corey. After greetings had been exchanged Herbert passed around cigars, then each one of us waited for the other to speak first. Owing to this the gossip became so strenuous that one could hear the sidewalk by the house. Finally I decided to break up this heated argument so said, Unless my clutch is slipping badly, my mental arithmetic, aided by my power of observation, tells me that the party is not yet complete. If I remember cor- rectly, there were to be four members to this coterie besides Pease and mine own humble self, whereas, if my sense of proportion fails me not, there are but three-quarters of that number within range of my optics. Du sprichst richtig, came in guttural tones from Case. Ah, kind friend, I put in, Kindly refrain from the Teu- tonic, your 'r's' rattle my dorsal vertebrae, besides, your original pronunciation is too much for my high-strung nervous temper- amentf' Here Lane broke out with a Ha. This last restored our social equilibrium and placed us on a footing of familiarity. Corey opened up this time and advanced the information that the Hmiss- ing one was no other than Norton Richardson, now become famous as a writer of American histories. Richardson was on his way from California and would not arrive till six o'clock the next morning. T.H.S- 'Ciba wriole : 1907 59' By the way, broke in Fred Lane, does anybody know what became of Albert Margeson? Tis a sad, sad story, vouchsafed Case, he finally married his old friend Anna Bena, and is now touring the country. ' In an automobile? queried Pease. No, peddling faucet filters, quoth Howard. This information seemed to have a depressing effect upon us, for nothing was said for several minutes. As for myself, I was thinking what a queer world this is. Margeson had turned out to be merely a peddler while years ago it had been the verdict of the entire class, after listening to one of his brilliant speeches, that he was surely destined to be a senator, a book agent, or an auctioneer. We talked on for a good part of the evening when, finally, Bert said that, as he was to meet Richardson at six the next morning, he was going to retire, he advised us to do the same, as we were to start for the Great Inside on the next day. CHAPTER II The next morning the sun rose as usual on schedule time, as did we, two hours later. I peered thro' the window to see if the town was still there. It was. I also noticed, rising through a clump of trees in the rear of the house, a vast bulk which I rightly judged to be the airship. At breakfast we exchanged greetings with Richardson and passed the morning very pleasantly. Incidentally I learned that our old friend Ralph Buddington had made a fortune as a lobbyist at Washington. It was like this: he had started business as a bootblack in the lobby of the capitol, from this meagre position he had industriously worked ahead until he had twenty or thirty assistants under him. He next had Congress pass a law to the effect that all visitors to this building must have their boots blacked by the Capitol Bootblack Corps and his fortune was made. Almost before we were aware of it, the time for departure was at hand. We took our suit cases, and followed Bert out into the backyard and up to the clump of trees, inside of which I now perceived a high fence. Herbert unlocked the door and we entered. We beheld a large cigar-shaped steel object, fully one hundred feet long and as much as twenty-five feet wide at its greatest diameter, which was a bit forward of the middle. From here it tapered gracefully to a point at either end. On the top was a conning tower, to the rear of which was an observation gallery of heavy glass. Pease procured a ladder which he placed against the side of the airship and climbed up. On reaching the conning tower, he 60 'Gibe wriole : 1907 Vvf. iv lifted up its top and entered pausing only long enough to inform us that we should see him again directly. So indeed we did, for in about a minute a part of the side of the ship about ten feet above our heads slid noiselessly to one side and Bert reappeared. He threw out a rope ladder up which he bade us climb. We were no sooner inside than the door slid back into placeg as soon as it had closed, we were dazzled by a brilliant green light which, as I later discovered, was produced by a mercury-vapor lamp. Herbert told us to follow him and he would show us over the ship. He led the way down the main corridor out of which led six sleeping rooms, three on each side of the ship, four abaft and twoforward of the cross corridor by which we had entered. Next came a library and a dining-roomg thence going down a flight of stairs, we entered an armory and a large engine-room. In the latter Bert explained how his patented engines worked on nothing but the atmosphere. I will not trouble the reader with an explanation of them, for they were very complicated affairs I assure you. Wife were next led into a large room, low down in the rear of the ship, where we were surprised to see a large seventy-five horse- power six cylinder Rational touring car. Upon inquiry Herb ex- plained that this was to be used for short excursions should it be expedient. VVe now climbed up two Hights of stairs, walked along a cor- ridor, then up a ladder and through a trap-door. We found our- selves in the conning tower. Here Herbert explained how the ship was controlled. He next opened a door in the conning tower and showed us the observation gallery, composed of trans- parent, heavy glass and fitted with easy chairs similar to those in which we used to lounge in our French class many years ago. He forbade us to occupy this portion of the ship till after we had started. I thought this command strange at the time, but I understood it later. VVe finally sojourned to the library where we took it easy while Herbert again propounded his theory. What time are we going to start? inquired Richardson. Right after dark this eveningfl said Herbert. If thatls the case, what's the use of coming on board at noon? queried Howard. Well, you see, it's this way, said Bert with an embarrassed laugh. I havenlt paid my last month's gas bill and they threat- ened to send a collector up to the house, if I didn't pay it before noon to-day. I don't want to start this journey until dark, but I may be compelled to do so. At first this impressed me as being rather small of him but when he explained that he had put all his available cash into the building of the airship, I forgave him. He had only two or three thousand left but What's that compared with a gas bill? Wfhat Pease should have done was to get Phil Tong to furnish the gas. He would have done it for nothing, T-ITS 'CU96 wriole : 1907 61 given full measure, and it would have been cheap at half the price. As we had five hours to waste, we spent the time in inquiring into Case's life since he had left school. After we had finished with Case we began on Coreyg it was like squeezing water out of a lemon to get anything out of him. When it came my turn, I told them that I had failed in everything I had undertaken, but that in those subjects in which I had not failed, I had been remarkably successful. Then Lane broke in with his story. The trouble was that we couldn't stop him, unlike Henry L., '07, however, he, as a Variable, could never quite reach the limit. I-Ie began his career about a week after his birthg he carried us with him Cfiguratively speakingj through kindergarten, grammar school, high school, college, his inventions, and up to the present day. When he started to speculate on the future, I noticed that Case was sound asleep and Norton was nodding. As he went on Case began to snoreg soon it became a question as to who could make the more noise. As Fred's voice was nearing a shout, Case suddenly lurched forward and sprawled on the Hoor. The force of the impact awoke him and just as he was rising a gong com- menced to ring in the corridor. 'tThere, ' exclaimed Pease, it's time we were starting. It seemed incredible to us that five hours had gone so quickly. Herb led the way to the conning tower and, as there was room there for only three, Case, Corey, and myself seated ourselves in the observation gallery. Here we go, said our host suddenly, and I felt the sensation of going up in an elevator. We arose and went to the glass wall to take a last, long, lingering look at the lights of dear old Springfield Cyou may see Springfield if you rise high enough above Indian Orchardl. As we went on, the nose of the ship swung around to the north. Soon we heard the whir of the propeller and I noticed that we were sailing toward the so-called city of Holyoke. At this moment Bert Pease sauntered into the gallery from the conning tower. 'fWe are going to cross Canada in an hour, he exclaimed, We shall reach the Arctic regions by to-morrow morning at nine o'clock, there we shall rest for the remainder of the day. The 'dip' into the Great Inside will be made the next dayf' During this harangue Case was consulting a barometer which hung in the corner of the gallery. Gee, we're fifteen hundred feet high now. I'll bet Holyoke thinks there is an eclipse of the moon taking place. CHAPTER III The next morning when we had assembled in the breakfast room, Herbert informed us that we were in the Arctic regions just on the edge of the dip He said this was the coldest latitude 62 the wriole : 1907 Vvl. iv of the northern hemisphere and from here on the country would grow warmer. Case said he was a bit suspicious of the 'lwarmer climate to which we were going, but he quieted down when Richardson asked him if his conscience troubled him. Our host asked us if we would not like to take a walk outside and do a little exploring. All were game except Richardson who said that, as he was troubled with neuralgia, he would stay and keep the ship company. We rolled ourselves up in fur garments till we looked like a collection of teddy-bears and then scampered forth. As we emerged from the ship, we descried a vast held of broken ice on one side, while, on the other, was a high snow-clad hill. I'll beat you fellows to the top of that hill, shouted Howard the Strenuous, and away he ran, disregarding our warning shouts to be careful. We hurried after him and were just in time to see a large polar bear carefully deposit Howard in a high snow drift and then waddle away. Evidently he wouldn't touch anything but government inspected meat. All we could see of our friend were his feet which protruded out of the snowg of course it would be impossible to hide these. We pulled Case out and went back with him to the ship, where he explained that he had absent- mindedly mistaken Bruin for a furrier's sign and had wished to determine whether the skin was tacked or glued on. After this adventure we decided to remain in the ship until we should enter into the dip Bert raised the ship about a hundred-feet and started slowly northward again, not going more than forty or sixty miles an hour. In about five hours we noticed bare patches of ground and, after a time, fungus and mossg we also saw reindeer and once a herd of musk oxen. Further on we were particularly attracted by the pinkish color of the snow and we soon perceived a peculiar species of bird flying from berg to berg. Look at the sun, cried Corey. Only an hour before it had been high above us and shining brightly, now it was low in the sky and in our rear, a fiery red ball, and ahead of us loomed up a dark haze. We were entering the 'xdipf' Gradually the darkness grew upon us while the sun became less and less brilliant, we were soon left in a dusk, not unlike that of a sunset, had it not been so uncannily red. We had been so interested in this change that we had forgotten that none of us TES. the 313016 I 1907 63 had slept for twenty-four hoursg so weary were we, that now, the excitement being over, we fell asleep in our chairs. On awakening the next morning, or rather when we had finished our sleep, for the same dusk continued, we went to the dining room where We found Fred engaged in a hearty meal. I-Ie bade us sit down, which we did with alacrity, for we had had no supper the night before. We fellows slept pretty soundly last night, Pease said, must be the new atmosphere that we're ing Iam afraid that this dusk will change into a black night before we've gone very far. We should have waited till summer when the sun will be in a better position, or else we should have gone in by the south 'dipf However, if this place is inhabited, we ought to strike a town in about a thousand miles or so. There'll probably be artificial light, at any rate, we can use our searchlight if necessary. After the meal we took our places in the gallery and the ship was started again. We had not gone more than Hfty miles before a faint noise was heard, not unlike that of an automobile horn. We appealed to our aeronaut who said he thought there was some- thing ahead. Although it was quite dark Pease declined to use the searchlight. ' As it was decidedly dull on deck, I went down into the libraryg I picked up a book and commenced to read. just as the hero was about to shoot the villain, Bert rushed into the room. Come up on deck, quick, he cried, we've struck a big city of some kind, and are going to drop down into it. I sent the hero, villain, and the rest of the characters on a journey across the room and followed Pease to the observation gallery. As I stepped out of the conning tower, I was blinded by a brilliant green glare. On regaining my sight, I noticed that the light issued from what appeared to be a natural gas-well about ten .miles from the city. We were by this time rapidly descending into a square of the city, little black dots could be seen passing back and forth through the streets, but keeping a long distance from the court into which we were dropping. As we landed gently, the people who had before stood aloof fearlessly flocked into the square, crowding about the ship in wonder. Now is the time to use the automobile, said Bert, I'll remain in the shipg the rest of you may take out the auto. We 64 the Q9I'iOl6 : 1907 VOX- iv went down and piled into the aforesaid car, except Case. I don't see how you're going to get the machine out of the ship, he said. I'll show you, said Herb. He went to the wall and pulled a cord, at which the rear side of the ship dropped down. As I started the car immediately, poor Case caught only the run- ning board and was summarily brushed off into the crowd as we passed from the ship. We stopped, not knowing what might happen to 'fdear Howardn should he fall into the hands of these queer people. The crowd moved away, however, when they saw him coming, and our former class president landed in a puddle of genuine mud and water. Nevertheless, a little dirt did not daunt Case any more than it did in old school days in the machine shop. He soon caught up with us and clambered in. We then started on a tour of inspection of the city, whose magnificent buildings amazed us. As we swung around one corner we noticed a procession filing into a large building. Overcome with curiosity, we left the machine and joined it. Inside was a large assembly of people, all dressed in ancient style. The interior of the building was laid out like an amphitheater with tiers of seats all around, while in the center was a circular arena a hundred feet in diameter. With Case in the lead, we trooped down to the front row and took seats. Howard asked the fellow beside him! for a program. The man evidently did not understand, for he made no move. Say it in Dutch, Howard, advised Fred. Case did so, whereupon the man gave him a frightened look and moved over one seat. This did not seem to disconcert our friend Howard, for he stood up and commenced to scan the audience on the other side of the arena. H Looking for a friend? put in Richardson. Yes, I was wondering if Swan might not be in this crowd. You know he died, and people said he'd never go to heaven. This was rather rough on Swan, and all because he had died owing Howard three lunch tickets. ' Suddenly a door in the side of the arena opened and there appeared two guards between whom walked a beautiful young girl. I perceived that Howard became interested at once. The three proceeded to the center of the arena where they left the girl standing. TRS. 'GZIJ6 013016 : 1907 65 Howard whispered to me, Gee, whatls going to happen now? How do you suppose I know, I haven't a program, I said. We were not obliged to wait long. Soon I saw her glance toward one side of the arena and shrink back, as though trans- fixed with fear. Howard got up and rubbered but could see nothing. Presently a large creature crawled into sight making for the girl. It had the resemblance of a man, yet it was neither man nor monkey. It was perhaps nine feet tall with long arms and strong looking legs. Its head was not unlike that of a man except for the very small eyes and exceedingly large mouth. from which protruded four sharp fangs. As the creature approached the girl, it gave a loud exultant growl, Case let out a yell and vaulted the rail of the arena, starting on a run for the beast. He had covered nearly half the distance before the animal was aware of his presence. When the creature perceived him he rose on his hind feet, at the same time Case made a dive at him as though he were playing football. The force of the impact threw both to the ground. Then commenced a real battle. Case was a good wrestler but he had no knowledge of the strength of his antagonist. Realizing this, we all rushed to his aid, but before we could render him any assistance, Howard had secured a strangling hold and it was all over with his antagonist. As we saw that our hero had won, we turned to the audience, expecting to hear their applause, but what we saw was an angry crowd pressing towards us. Evidently they had a different idea of valor from ours. There was a deafening roar followed .by a blinding flash. The walls of the amphitheater seemed to rock and sink suddenly downward. The ground beneath us opened up and we felt our- selves ifalling into a seemingly endless pit. Then the thought crossed my mind that the falling sensation was due to an earth- quake. I thought that this eruption must necessarily interrupt the magnetic circuit of the earth, and hence, if the quake were strong enough, produce a corresponding eruption on the outside. Moreover, this combined quake and eruption must induce a strong current of air like a tornado, through the passage from the inside outward. Would this be strong enough to blow us to the outside? I pulled out a pocket light which I Hashed about me. To my surprise I found that I was up in the air in a long passageway 66 T196 015016 2 1907 VOZ- iv which appeared to be travelling swiftly upward. Hearing some- one say, Honk, Honk, I looked up and saw a pair of feet above me which I recognized as belonging to my friend, Howard. Hello, are you getting out this way too, I said. Nope, going through, this is the Lake Shore Limited, with a dining car attached, hurry up, or I'll step on you. One couldn't make Howard serious with a club. As it began to grow light I heard a whirring noise in the air which increased with the light. Suddenly I found myself sub- merged in water. I rose to the surface, however, looked about me and, perceiving a plank, made for it. I was alone in an ocean, evidently, for I could not see land. Was this the Atlantic or the Pacino? Not having any chemicals at hand I could not analyze the water. I was aroused from my speculations by a churning of the water about twenty feet away. Soon up popped the irrepressible Case, feet foremost, describing a beautiful parabola. Then came Lane, then Corey, Richardson, and finally the airship, which rose gently out of the water and hung gracefully above us. Soon a door in the ship opened and Pease threw down the rope ladder. One by one we clambered aboard. Well fellows, said Bert, here we are, safe and sound again, we've had thrilling adventures, but we've proved my theory. Du sprichst richtigf' said Howard. la 1' 0.76 f 'ba '5Wr ' o 0 Bqq 3 TH-S CD6 NITOIC : 1907 67 Nought Eight in Washington BY RALPH W. BUDDINGTON , ASHINGTON, the capital city of the United States, contains more masterpieces in every line of art than any other city in America. The greatest piece of masonry in the world, the Washington Monument, is located at the eastern end of a park running west from the Capitol. It stands five hundred and fifty-five feet high, and commands a grand view down the Potomac as well as in other directions. Around it are described gardens and parks of varied shapes and sizes. The Smithsonian Institute, famous the world over, and the Agricultural buildings are situated near the monument. The city is laid out with wonderful system, the Capitol form- ing the hub of an imaginary wheel, and the avenues the spokes. The streets running east and west are lettered according to the alphabet, while those running north and south are numbered, thus the Treasury lies between G and H and 14th and 15th streets. The Capitol, abounding in paintings, sculptures, and architectural designs, with its various official rooms, its marble staircases, and enormous rotunda, is of course a magnificent building. Directly behind it stands the Congressional Library, the golden dome of which can be distinguished for miles. The Library stacks are said to contain forty-four miles of books, the buildings and grounds were completed in the year eighteen ninety-seven at a cost of nearly seven millions of dollars. The White House, the residence of the President, is located between the United States Treasury and the State, War, and Navy Departments. It is surrounded by extensive grounds invwhich the President vigorously exercises, I often see him taking his daily constitutional on my way to the office. The two buildings, flanking the White House on the left andright, are massive structures that fairly awe one by their magnificence and solemnity. Another interesting feature of Washington is her navy yard on the eastern branch of the Potomac. It is not a ship-building establishment, but simply a big gun factory, many people are disappointed when, on reaching the dock, they find no armored ship of the White Squadron at anchor. The government is reclaiming large tracts of land along the banks of the river, and turning them into beautiful speedways and drives. Washington is not like a busy New England town, on the contrary, it is as far from the Yankee ideal of a city as it is possible 68 EDC 313016 : 1907 Vol. iv to conceive, there is practically no manufacturing done here, the streets are very wide and overshadowed by large elms, and every- where an air of comfort and quiet prevails. The surrounding country is comparatively flat. On one of my Sunday walks I ran across the remains of old, earth works which had been thrown up at the time of the Civil War, and, as I realized the lives which probably had been lost here, I could not but feel that our work of freeing the colored man had cost us dearly. The Potomac is a beautiful riverg its curves are graceful and its waters calm for the land is very little above sea level. However, the rise and fall of the tide are felt and in a large degree too, when one considers that Washington is one hundred miles from the sea. Above the city the river narrows and becomes a rushing stream, broken occas- sionally by cataracts and protruding rocks. The soil, as a whole, is of a sandy nature, although in some sections it is rich and fertile. The people all flock to the markets on Saturday, where one can purchase anything from a ham sandwich to a weasel. The other day, as I was walking up Tenth Street,I noticed a quaint sign from an old brick building, upon inquiry I found that it marked the house in which Lincoln died after the assault made upon him in Ford's Theatre, which still stands on the oppo- site side of the street. In the old house with the sign are kept all the relics of Lincoln that are known to exist. The most unique is the silk hat that he wore on the fatal night. In the ladies' waiting room of the Pennsylvania Station is a small square block set into the floor, above which Garfield was assassinated. This will soon be removed, however, for a grand station is being erected near the Capitol and Library of Congress. In the last year the city has been making rapid strides, new buildings are being started every day. The municipal building, near the U. S. Post Office, is nearing completion, as is also the National Museum directly behind it. The Corcoran Art Gallery, containing rare paintings by both ,American and foreign artists, is a drawing card for visitors. One can look for hours with mouth wide open and not take in everything. People of every nationality under the sun are to be seen on the streets of Washington 5 and as the city is the center of society, many fair women and dis- tinguished men are always to be met on the street. About a block below the new Willard Hotel is a ten story building called the Munsey Buildingg in this is located the Washington Times. In this office, upon inquiry, one may easily Hnd a person who will be glad to meet all friends from Spotless Town, the person is the nought eight man guilty of this unworthy oration on Washing- ton. 70 'Gibe Sriole : 1907 Val. iv President MOTTOZ-AKHC is much greater and more authentic who produces one thing entire and perfect than he who does many things by halves President, .

SMITH OR a long time I had wished to go to the coun- I try, inally an opportunity came during the 1 spring vacation. As the weather was beautiful, f I spent nearly all of my time in walking or X I , driving, looking for signs of spring. The first afternoon I drove up the river I , , E road very slowly, not because I chose to do so, Q , 'A but because the road was very muddy and the 'H , horse was not over-spirited. I-Iowever, there J was plenty of time to think, for there were no jf, electric cars, automobiles, or heavy trucks thundering along the road. Indeed, it seemed so good to be on a farm away from the rush and noise of the busy city, that I almost wished I might remain there until the summer vacation. The mud reminded me of the stories I had heard the boys tell about the daily tramps to the White Street School, which led through the Forest Park wilderness. I wondered if those pilgrimages were really as bad as they were represented to have been, at any rate, I was sure that all much prefer our new building on Elliott Street. How well I remembered my Freshman year, especially the first day. For a long time a group of eight or ten girls, myself included, stood by the side door of the Central I-Iigh, waiting for some one to venture in first. We had often heard of Freshmen being bewildered, and actually lostg none of us cared for any such experience. Finally, summoning a great deal of courage, we went inside clinging closely together. We hadlittle difhculty in finding our rooms, moreover, we discovered, like Magellan, that by going west, we could reach the east. We circumvented the corridors several times before this reliable theory became per- fectly clear to us. The session that day was short, but by the end of the week, we had all of our books and were ready for work. The year was uneventful except for the class elections, which were afterward referred to as much ado about nothing. Of course, when final exams drew near, every one assumed a de- jected and over-worked look, but nearly all of us passed on to begin work as Sophomores. Some, however, were to remain at Central, and others to commence life at Tech, September came again, school began once more. Very few 74 Ubi? 914016 : 1907 Val. iv were really willing to go back, after the long vacation, but after a few days a routine was adopted, and attending school at Tech seemed perfectly natural. Class organization began early in the year, and the elections were soon over. Class meetings! Could there ever before have been so much confusion? The boys made the motions, while the girls helped out by voting, and after the meetings were over, every one inquired as to how he or she had voted. It was when I reached this point in my rambling, that I heard some one calling meg turning around, I saw a girl who had been in my class at the Central High. As we were going in the same direction, she jumped into the carriage and rode with me. It was not long before we were discussing school matters, and arguing on the superior qualities of our respective high schools. Tell me about your class at Tech , she said, and how you are prospering. I have heard that you have more class spirit than any of the other classes. . Well, of course ours is the best class in the school. Here she disagreed with me as she had several friends in one of the other classes, but I kept right on. Now that we are Sophomores we have outgrown the bashfulness which we showed in our Fresh- man year, for, counting ten and a half, there are two classes under us. Perhaps you would like to hear about our social events. The first one was an informal assembly and dance given just before Christmas. Every one who attended wore a rustic costume, many of which dated several years back. Who could ever forget the quaint and curious 'make-ups' of the Sophomores that night? The whole assembly might easily have been mistaken for a primary school on a circus day. In February came a sleigh ride to the Lake View House which was greatly enjoyed. Upon reaching our destination, a supper was served and dancing followed until the time of return. It was the Sophomore Class Dance, however, that eclipsed all the other assemblies. This was held in Apollo Hall, March first, being open to all members of both high schools. There were about one hundred on the fioor. Mrs. C. F. Warner, Miss Stanley, and Miss MacLeod acted as patronessesf' By this time she had reached her destination, and it was fast getting dark. Feeling rather hungry, I turned around and went toward home. Afterward, as I was thinking over our conversa- tion, I thought of the vague impression she must have had of our class from my description. T-H-S UDB 911016 : 1907 75 A Chinese Boy's School Days BY HUGH TONG EFORE coming to this country I attended a typical Chinese School, the work of which may be easily described. When I entered the school at the age of seven, a book called the Three Character Classic, was given to me. It is in rhyme, a sort of doggerel, and is made up of moral sayings with stories calculated to illustrate their excellence. Through these I was taught to honor my father and mother, to worship my ancestors, to fear the emperor, to avoid bad company, to attend to my books, and to practice many other virtues. I was obliged to commit this volume to memory, so that I could recite it like firing crackers on our New Year's Day. It was not hard to learn the meaning and pronunciation of each character in the first book and to write each correctlyg but when this task was completed, I was given A'The Book of The Hundred Family Names which I found more difficult. This second volume is also in rhyme and is utterly devoid of sense, being nothing more than a list of surnames allowable in the Chinese Empire. After I had commit- ted it to memory, each character had to be written and pronounced correctly. This mastered, the great crowning task of my student life, the nine volumes of the Confucian Classics, was laid before me. It was no easy thing to memorize these and then rewrite them from memory 5 but as soon as I had completed the work, exercises in versilication and composition were given to me as a test of what I had studied. The instruction is entirely individual. I pursued my work and made my own progress, quite independently of any other student. Having finished an assigned piece of work, I marched up. to the master, handed him my book, then turning about with my back towards him, I folded my hands behind me Cfor I had no hip pockets thenj and recited my lesson. From this peculiar attitude is derived the Chinese idiomatic phrase equivalent to the English word recitation', which means, literally translated from the Chinese, to back the book. Once I was in a great hurry and skipped two lines unintentionally, the Chinese bamboo was called into use and the master made me bow continually before Confucius until school was over. I was then given another opportunity to recite. I shall try to give a little idea of the school periods. I have heard many American boys complain because school commences so early in the morning, but if they were situated as we were 76 'CDC 914016 z 1907 V01 iv there might be real reason to ind fault. We arose every morning before six and attended school for three hours before breakfast. The first period ended at nine o'clock, when we went home for our first meal. The intermission was for an hour and everyone was required to be back punctually for the second period which began at ten o'clock and ended at twelve. Then there was another hour for dinner after which school kept until five o'clock. Sometimes I did not dare to go home without a companion because of the extreme ill feeling and jealousy between our school and the one next door. This spirit of contention had its source in a boastful remark which had been made by an unknown boy of our school. There was fine spirit in our classes, consequently we considered it the proper thing to quarrel with any member of the other school whom we chanced to meet, regardless of what was at hand, or of the serious trouble often resulting from the conflicts. In order to illustrate the hold which the teachings of Con- fucius have upon all Chinamen, I shall relate one of my experiences. One morning after I had failed to recite correctly, one of my school- mates whispered to me, Hugh, what's the matter? I-Iave you not worshipped your Confucius this morning? It was owing to my friend's inquisitiveness that I was reminded of a picture in my drawer which represented this great philosopher. My belief was that the Confucian religion would help me each day as I workedg therefore, I always had some reminder of the sage about me. This may seem curious to you, but at the time I believed the Confucian faith to be exceedingly truthful, One of this philosophers best known sayings is, Good and Evil have their proper rewards. 'The school year was almost at an end, now, so I had only a short time to worry. At the beginning of my next year's term, I was transferred to a fine private school which I attended for four years before coming to this country, I felt the difficulties increasing each year as I went on, but the harder the lessons the more enjoyment I found in them. The last year of my work was similar to that which I am doing to-day, the only difference being in the languages. T.H.S- 'Ciba Griole : 1907 77 A Fast Run BY CHARLES H. WHITE T last I had reached the height of my ambition. I had recently been promoted from the position of fireman to that of passenger engineer on the C. Vt. R. R. It is seldom that a fireman becomes a passenger engineer at one promotion, the intermediate steps being engineer of a switch-engine and freight engineer. In a collision between an express and a freight, the engineers of both had been killed while the firemen of the slower train was seriously injured. As I was next in line for promotion, I had been put into a passenger berthg the rest of the men were promoted according to the posi- tions left open by the promotions of those above them. On my hrst trip in my new position I was given train No. 9 which I was to run from Westford to Kingston, a distance of about ninety miles. I had received my train orders from the operatorg instead of reading them at once, on account I suppose of the nerv- ousness due to the fact that it was my first run as engineer, I thrust the note into the pocket of my overalls intending to read it on reaching my cab. The locomotive of No. 9 was an eight- wheeler, which was considered large in those days when one saw none of the magnificent ten-wheeled engines which are so common to-day. Swinging into the cab, I sat down on my side and waited until a few belated travelers had jumped aboardg then, with a sonorous all aboard from the conductor, I opened the throttle and we rolled slowly out of the station. Gradually the train gained speed until, when about one-half a mile out, we were going at the rate of forty-five miles per hour. We had gone about thirty-five miles and had stopped at two small stations, when I suddenly remembered my orders I drew the note out of my pocket and read: No. 9: ' Proceed to Ol, meet and pass express No. 13. . Signed, Train Dispatcherl-. I had already gone by 0?-. What was I to do? Thousands of frightful scenes passed through my mindg splintered cars piled themselves up before me, and I seemed to see the dead and wounded being taken from the wreck. I could hear their horrible groans and criesg I could not run back to O-l because the distance was too great. Only one way of escape seemed at all practicableg I must reach the siding at Grenfell ahead of No. 13 or a collision was inevitable. 78 'Cibe Stiole : 1907 Vol. iv Opening the throttle to the last notch, we raced along at a pace which the ireman afterwards swore was seventy miles an hour, but which at the time seemed terribly slow to my agonized mind. We flashed through woods and rocky cuts, thundered over bridges, but still I tried to crowd on more steam. It was a case of do or die. At last we flew by the tower-house at Grenfell and, putting on the brakes, I shouted to the Hreman to jump oil and throw over the switch. Although he ran as fast as he could, for he fully realized the danger, it seemed an age to me before I received his shout of go ahead. I started up and we went over that switch in a manner which must have made even the conduc- tor wonder. just as we came to a stop on the siding, No. I3 thundered around the curve and, amidst a cloud of dust, smoke, and the rattling of her wheels, she was gone. We were free to finish our run which we did on time and the officials are still wondering how jack McBurney happened to be at the Grenfell siding before he should have been. But the engineer of the express told no tales, and I escaped a reprimand and possible discharge from the old man, as the vice-president was called.

It seemed as if everyone but the poor L'Freshies knew just where to go. I Some person, a Sophomore I believe, suggested X X !!!!!! XNXNXNNNNX that we hunt until we found the room labeled f'Freshmen, and some innocent children actually went in search of that haven of rest. At last we were directed to the Assembly Hall, and there, away from the insinuating Sophomores, we found peace. After the assign- ments were made, the lost, strayed, or stolen feeling wore offg next morning we were able to come without looking frightened, and with a few exceptions re- membered the locations of our rooms. The weeks that followed brought discoveries, both valuable and otherwise, and the Sophomores became less formidable. The novelty began to wear off, even the bringing of lunches, which, at first, involved minute calculations as to how much lunch one might bring and not look countrifled, became less of a hobby. The beginning of lunch counter life brought new problems, and there are still some who do not enjoy the delicacies served for luncheon. However, they will doubtless become educated along that line before june, nineteen ten. In our first class-meeting we accomplished,-but there, dear Sophomores, we aren't going into particulars! Among our other achievements are first, the presentation of the first play in the new building, secondly, an attempt to accept a class constitution without first voting upon it. Our next accomplishment will be the surviving the mid-year exams. 82 ' Ube wrtole 2 1907 Vol- iv What the Technical Girls Do BY EvA SALISBURY HE Technical Course for the girls is divided into two parts, the A and the B. The former, or college preparatory, has eight periods of house- hold arts each weekg the latter, or general scien- tific, has twelve. In each course, four periods are devoted to designing. I shall attempt to describe the work which we, the first class of technical girls, have done so far, and then outline the remaining part of the course. In the first place we each made two baskets, a work-basket of reed and a smaller sewed one to be used inside it. Purses, card-cases, and blotter- covers followed. These were decorated with toolecl designs, done by hand. To tool leather adesign on tough paper is laid over material which has previously been thoroughly wet. The outlines are then gone over with a blunt-pointed instrument. This leaves them indented in the leather. Then the design itself, or the surface around it is pressed down with a similar tool. The latter method makes the design appear raised, and is preferable for sa flat surface. We cut our leather, lined, and made up the articles hereg the purses, however, were sent toia wallet shop to be supplied with fasteners. After the holidays, sewing was begun. Towels, dish-cloths, and dust- ing cloths were made. Then we went into the shops where each girl made a hand-loom. When the boys flrst saw us at work, they were very inquisitiveg finally, their curiosity changed to scorn. We, however, sincerely believe that the results we have so far attained are just as good as the first things they made. Each girl has a loom, upon which she is weaving a holder. Some mothers have threatened to encase the latter articles in gold frames and hang them in their parlorsg we know that they will never meet any such fate, however, for they are to be used in the household science laboratory. The weaving of rugs will begin soon. This work will be done on large looms, of which there are three. The making of aprons and sash-curtains decorated with stencil work will complete the work for the first year. The second year work includes the making and decorating of pottery, the shaping of brass and copper into bowls, trays, and boxes, together with some work in wood. The A division will learn to cook and to serve luncheons. A caution here may TH-S. EDC 6513016 : 1907 83 be necessary for those who scorn our elfortsg-the dining room will not be open to the school in general. Further instruction in cooking will come under the head of Household Science. When we are juniors we shall make architectural drawings and determine the cost of furnishing a home, we shall select furnishings, cook- ing-utensils, and everything needed to begin housekeeping. The college preparatory girls will study dressmaking and millinery. The required work for the last year is tailoring and advanced dressmaking. We shall be allowed to take up more fully any subject already studied or to select a new one. Chemistry, sani- tation, cost of living, and chemistry of foods are included in the science work for the last two years. It must not be forgotten, however, that throughout the four years we have History, English, and Mathematics, together with the foreign languages to prepare, just as do the boys in the courses corresponding to ours. Each section in the girls' technical course has its own president and vice-president, both of whom are elected monthly. The president stands at the head of her classg the vice-president is invested with power to check all conversation that interferes with work. A visitor would notice that the girls are not all doing the same work. One, at a sewing machine, is at work upon an apron, another is making a dusting clothg a third is receiving directions in the weaving of her holderg still another is making a paper pattern for an apron. A busy hum of conversation is heard, now and then a voice is raised to speak to some one across the room. In many of the classes papers are read and discussed on subjects relating to our work, for instance, the manufacture of wool, silk, and cotton has been treated upon in this way. After being thoroughly criticized, the papers are rewritten and kept as authori- ties. When a new subject is begun, we study the history of the industry to which it belongs. For baskets, we learned how, when, why, and by whom the first ones were made, and also the improve- ments that have since been introduced. By this means we gain a knowledge of the different industries in which women are inter- ested or take part. 8-1 the 311016 Z 1907 Val- iv A Meeting of The Oriole Committee BY RUTH HOWE, a Freshman Member HE Youthful Member, the member from nought ten eyed the Chairman reproachfully. To-morrow evening at seven- thirty in Room 25? she asked. t'Yes, the Chairman's tone was inal. It is a very important meeting and imperative that we all be present. . Next evening, a few forlorn people made their way to Room 25. It was a lovely night for travelingg it was hailing cough drops of generous dimensions, while underfoot a river flowed coolly over a bed of ice. The chance travelers made their way down Elliott Street, clinging to the fence as far as possibleg when this support gave out each, towing in for safety, splashed on unaided. When the nought ten Member arrived, no one was to be foundg soon, however, two Sociable Sophomores appeared. The first, counting cracks in the floor, gained courage from the uplifting conversation of the two later arrivals. When at last the delin- quent Chairman appeared, penitent and partly awake, the meeting began. I repeat it, the meeting began. The Sociable Sophomores discussed every possible subject, illustrating their ideas upon the blackboard. They showed great skill in portraying different styles of haircuts and in explaining other like subjects. The Slim Member and the Wittiest Member then arrivedg they quarrelled good naturedly over methods of stealing posters g the Chairman sank wearily into the first chairg the Representa- tive ofthe Class of nought ten studied history. In a moment of peace the Wittiest Member suggested a game of cards, but nowhere could a pack be found. As the instructor's desk was locked, general curiosity was not gratified as to whether one might be therein. f An hour and a half of this business-like program followed. It was varied occasionally, as when the Sociable Sophomores left, and the Slim Member amused himself by turning off and on the lights. The Chairman snored uninterrupted, for a whileg on awaking he took no active part in the Hmeetingf' but simply eyed in turn the Wittiest Member's golden locks and the Slim Member's lengthy back. Then the meeting adjourned. Important business had been transacted, the history lesson had been learned, and the Chair- man had gained valuable information concerning everything- Zmt THE ORIOLE.

At first some of the pupils seemed to think the work hard, and it was, now, however, we eight in the Latin class are getting onto the idea of Hhastae volant and Hpuellae cantantf' In algebra, while we have not found the value of HX, we think we know all about the addition of polynomials, and in wood-working we are taking pattern making which is advanced work. The short plays in the hall on Fridays are another feature unexpected by most of us. We new-comers think that they are a splendid idea and doubt if many schools have them every week. The first day at lunch many of us were undecided as to what to buy. Whether we had courage enough to take a dip into the Red Sea Calias Stewart's Tomato Soupj, or run the risk of having rabies from eating hot dog, was difficult to decide with all the goodies spread out before us. We have been solicited by all the different peddlers from the various classes to help on with one thing or another. We shall complain little of this, however, for we, also, intend to get money in every possible way to decorate our room. TH-S 'Cfbe 315016 : 1907 87 Shop Snap-shots 7 - ji DRAWING HE steady increase in the enrollment of the O school, together with the fact that drawing is a required subject for all pupils, has necessitated elaborate improvements in our draughting rooms. Since the entrance into our new building we have had the advantage of forty new tables and a universal draughting machine. A very com- ili W modious lecture room is now situated between p the larger wings ot the draughting department. The Ublue print room has been better equipped, while the supply-room has benefited in the same direction. . MACHINE SHOP Our machine shop has grown to resemble that of a corpora- tion factory. From a low, smoky, one-room affair this department has grown to such an extent that to-day it requires three high spacious rooms. A laudable feature in this expansion is that care has been taken to instruct students by means of the most modern machines and appliances obtainable. Thus the old method of using countershafting has been superseded by a clutch arrangement consisting of a lathe belt-cone fastened directly to a line of shafting which extends over a row of lathes. The amount of machinery has also been increased. Due to the introduction into our building of a private power plant, the number of motors has been increased from one to four. The large numbers of our brethren of nought ten and nought ten and a half have necessitated the installation of eighteen new lathes, a drill press, and a power saw. In the room for advanced work, a new milling machine and shaper have been added. With this new machinery our large classes have been able to work in com- fort, except for one inconvenienceg we need a machine that will destroy static electricity which, generated by moving belts, gives a very invigorating sensation when encountered. NVOODWORK That practical wood-working consists of more than whittling has been demonstrated by the throng of would-be joiners and pattern-makers that frequent the pattern rooms, and by the wonderful disappearance of the lumber pile. The room which was intended for part of the joinery department, but which was FORGE SHOP TH-S Ube wriole z 1907 89 used last year as an assembly hall, has now been fitted out with benches according to the original plan. Such a course has neces- sitated the purchase of ten new benches to replace those which were moved into the former assembly hall. The wood turning room also has received much attention. Eight new speed lathes have been addedg this department has also two additional grindstones and four motors. With these extra helps we have a wood working department adequate to meet the demands for some time to come. FORGING Of course we feel that the person who said that Tech has the best forge-shop in the state was right. The entire equipment is new, including two twenty horse-power motors, a grind stone, a more powerful fan, and a long bench which has been recently installed. As the old forges were unseemly affairs, a newly pat- ented style has been adopted, which embodies a hood arrangement for taking up the smoke. MOULDING ' The new quarters of the moulding room in our basement in- sure the absence of lumps in the sand. This branch of the cur- riculum is closely allied to pattern making, and a new lot of models have been added from which to workg a fresh load of sand has also been furnished in order that the boys may have sand enough to carry them through the prescribed course. From the enthu- siasm of certain sophomores, we are reminded of the days of mud pies.

T l S Qfigfi J 9 At present there is a very important problem before the schoolg ,it relates to our class organizations. The new system, by which pupils enter the high schools every six months, makes the formation of the classes very complicated. Indeed it will be almost impossible in the future to maintain the class organ- izations as they now exist. As a possible solution for this prob- lem, THE ORIOLE suggests some such plan as follows. The scheme does away entirely with the class organizations, and establishes for the government of the school one body which shall resemble, as nearly as possible, the United States Congress. The Seniors shall constitute the Senate, the Junior and Sophomore classes the House of Representatives. The Freshmen, having about the same privileges as a Territory has in Washington, shall elect three delegates to represent them in Congress. An Electoral College, consisting of four members from each class, shall elect the President and Vice President frominominations made by the Senior class and approved by the faculty. The officers thus instated shall serve for one year. The President shall fill the remaining offices by appointment, his choice being approved by the Senate. Following is a suggested list of officers with their duties briefly stated. President of the Technical High School. He shall preside over joint sessions of the two Houses. Vice President of the Technical High School. He shall act as chairman at sessions of the Senate. Speaker, a junior elected by the Lower House. He shall preside at sessions of that body. The other oflicers shall be General Secretary, General Treasnrer, General Athletic Manager and General Memlver' at Large. With the exception of the General Athletic Manager, which position shall be held by the physical director of the school, all officers must be approved of by the Senate. This plan allows two assistants for each officer. This is, in brief, a possible scheme for the future organization of the school. Undoubtedly it is weak in many pointsg if the school ever assembles to adopt a similar plan, each student should have ideas at hand for improving this suggestion. NLS. the wriole : 1967 93 Students of the Technical High School will always have much for which to thank the Class of nineteen seven. The two pre- ceding classes edited annuals which reflected great credit upon the school, the nought seven boys not only supported a book which was world famous, but they also published their annual without a single advertisement. This meant much hard work, for the two or three hundred dollars gained by ads', is hard to earn in any other manner. ' Another act,more creditable than the first,is also a result of the far-sightedness of 'nineteen seven. Besides paying for the publication of their annual, they also established THE ORIOLE Fundf This sum, if increased by each junior class, will in course of a few years earn enough interest to pay a portion of the ex- penses incurred by publishing THE ORIOLE. When the yearly income becomes sufficient to pay two-thirds the cost of our annual, the surplus acquired by the entertainment will help some worthy boy or girl through school. What act could set forth higher ideals than the establishing of THE ORIOLE Fund? What finer thing could be done by any class for its school? This is foremost among the many things for which nineteen seven will always be remembered. i Although this is our first year in new Tech, we may justly feel that we have accomplished much along the lines of organiza- tion. The girls' club, a new idea, the result of initiative among the Junior and Senior girls of the school, has been founded on a somewhat novel basis in that it has no officers. But where is the boys' club? is the question. YVhy not reorganize the Forum, that famous debating society first brought to light by the class of nineteen three? Why not try the girls' plan and make it a club without officers, without dues, and without a constitution? Some of the members of the Sophomore class have banded them- selves together to support a debating team, the members of the Senior class could, if they would, pledge themselves to maintain another such society. Let the Seniors call their club the Forum and open it to the two higher classes of the school, while the Sophomores open theirs, which is already named, to the lower classes. It is a duty of the upper-classmen to uphold a thing for which the early boys of the Technical High fought so hard. This suggestion is put forward simply as a remedy for the fact that in past years the Forum was supported chiefly by its junior and Senior members, while the lower classmen received little training in the eloquence. Perhaps they would feel more at home in a club of their own. 94 'Che wt'iOI6 I 1907 Va! iv Since the admittance of girls into The Technical High School, the number of absences has increased daily. This is unquestion- ably due to the epidemic of Spooning which has visited the school. The matter has become so serious that Dr. john Howard Gibbs, a famous German physician, has been called upon to investigate the conditions under which the disease exists. Dr. Gibbs was born in Berlin, Germany, in eighteen eighty-seven. As a boy he was much interested in the germ theory and lost no opportunity to experiment in his favorite subject. He studied medicine in the University of Berlin whence he was graduated with honors in nineteen hundred three. Having acquired all the knowledge possible in Germany, he came to the United States and to Spring- field, where he is completing his education in The Technical High School. Although the doctor has had much experience with contagious diseases, he confesses that the spread of Spooning thus far, is beyond his comprehension, and that he has little confidence in his ability to exterminate the disease, or even to confine it within its present limits. Principal Warner has united with Dr. Gibbs, and together they will do all in their power to restrict the spread of the disease to the three upper classes, nineteen ten and nineteen ten-and-a-half having been exposed too short a time to become subject to the malady. It is astonishing, the doctor informs us, to see how fast the germs multiply, a new generation springing up every fifteen minutes. Following the idea of Koch, Dr. Gibbs has succeeded in causing the so-called Bacterium Spoonibus to grow in a medium of fudge. The statement that the doctor has a tree of the germs growing in his laboratory is, of course, absurd and may be considered merely as newspaper talk. When studied through a strong microscope, these germs prove to be somewhat long and narrow, they are filled with pores which take the shape of minute spoons, hence the name Spooning germs, or technically, Bacterium Spoonibus. Bacteria, cultivated by the doctor, were injected into a healthy donkeyg the animal died in a very few days. Some of the virus from the first victim was injected into a second donkey who was in the last stages of Spooningg the creature regained his former activity in a few hours. If Dr. Gibbs' method of treatment proves as effective on every donkey as in the two cases just referred to, the epidemic in The Technical High School will be broken. The doctor has also received a case of glass insulators which may be had for ten cents each. One insulator will suffice for two persons, the method of use is shown on page 139. The malady, as it now stands, makes the position of the school a serious one, the extermination of the disease will be hailed heartily by the members of the Freshman Class and the Faculty. T.H.S- UDB SITOIC : 1907 95 The weekly exercises were first introduced into our school when we were on State Street. Being held on Tuesdays they were not then known as Friday morning assemblies. Many of the boys who formerly made the old M. A. H. S. hall ring with elo- quence have now graduated. Probably Carlos B. Handforth of nought six was the greatest orator Tech ever produced. We always looked forward to the time when that old man eloquent was to speak. Howard Holcomb, Percy P. Forgue, and Wm. McCann were also very prominent on the platform. Owing to changes in the locality of our school, it was necessary to suspend hall exercises while at White Street, and await the completion of our present building. The speakers of old no longer appear to entertain us. Their places are filled by Albert Margeson, William Bliss, Miss Anna Woolmann, and others who have succeeded admirably in maintaining and increasing the pace set for them by former members of the school. The assembly hall exercises are in charge of a student committee, with this arrangement, any members of the school wishing to receive training in appearing before an audience can arrange a date with the committee in charge. We sincerely hope that the enthusiasm shown in the exercises thus far may continue unimpaired. ! Almost too late for announcement, we have learned that the class of nineteen seven has presented a gift of fifty dollars to the Athletic Association. To show its appreciation of the support given the Senior Circus, and more especially as a token of grati- tude for the inestimable services of Mr. Metzdorf in the under- taking, nought seven grasped the opportunity to assist an organi- zation in which both high schools are interested. This action is a fitting climax for the many great things which this class has done for the school. 1 The Board of Publication for nineteen hundred seven desires to thank all those who have so willingly assisted in the prepara- tion of this volume. The editors wish especially to express their appreciation of the work done by the Junior girls and Miss Richard- son who, in typewriting the book for press, have saved much trouble and money. 96 'Ciba wriole : 1907 Vol, iv Sketches H Q BOUT five years' ago, books were given out to 'Y A a class in a grammar school.

S., '07 Q It seemed, as our guide declared it was, the most beautiful scene in all the land. More than once on our long hard climb, I had wondered if the folk of the village had not been influenced for the good by the wonderful beauty of their surroundings. The sun was setting, filling the sky with the richest colors I had ever seen. At our feet lay a long canon, one side of which was steeped in the deepest gloom, the other, as the white quartz caught the rays 'of the sun, sparkled like a million diamonds in a sea of fire. Large gray rocks made shadows of gigantic size, while others gave off a soft light as the sun struck upon them. Cn the side of a cliff stood the only tree in sight, a hoary oak without a leaf to cover its nakedness. A buzzard sat on the topmost branch, and watched with hungry eyes for some unsuspecting rabbit to pass. Far off on the horizon Old Half Moon raised his snowy top, still farther away Round Top looked like a tiny midget beside his tall and majestic sister, Squaw Girl. Suddenly the color faded from the sky. Dark shadowy clouds began to gatherg the diamonds became juts of coal. We caught one last parting flash that brought back all the former beauties, then shadows, gray rocks, and darkness. E. F. L., 'O9. i It was midnight. Silence reigned in the black forest, a few lonely stars, like specks in the darkness, looked forth to comfort the soul of the heart-broken wanderer as he silently, wearily crept TJTS- 'GDC 696016 : 1907 97 along the narrow beaten path. He felt not his loneliness, he gave no heed to the darkness. His only consideration was to escape the thought that surged through his bewildered brain and gave him not a moment's rest. At times he raised his hand to his fore- head while a shudder shook his frame, the leaves, gently stirred by the midnight breeze, seemed to whisper, Courage, But as on and on he went, the relentless thought pursued him, until beaten at last, he flung himself to the ground, crying in his great agony, Spare Mef' But there came no relief, only the trees seemed to nod their heads and sadly whisper, Too late, Too late. All power of escape was gone. He must retrace his steps and take up the great task which it is possible for no one to escape,-the mid-year examinations. It was the night of january twenty- second. R. F., '07. . 1 Marion received only one letter that morning but the floor seemed to move away from under her feet as she saw, VV, F. Gordy, Superintendent of Schools, printed in the left hand corner. Her heart beat violently and she could not find the cour- age to open the white envelope. Only a few days had passed since she had taken the entrance examinations for Tech, and this letter contained the announcement of her success or her failure. Taking a deep breath, she opened the envelope, and peeping cautiously in, read, Passed Marion ran to tell her happiness to the old Mrs. Buell who lived some houses from her. The girl enjoyed everything. How kind the fat groceryman looked!

SYRETT, '07 ff E are living in a new world, said a writer a short time ago, referring to the changed conditions of l modern life, and if we look about us we must admit that the assertion is true. The invention of the steam engine, with its application to the railroad and the steamship, changed entirely old customs and traditions. Nowhere have greater changes taken place than in the Held of modern industry. The conditions of production have been completely revolutionized. Let us con- sider one of the many examples of this fact. In ,the old village, the peoples' shoes were made by the cobbler, who was a shoe-maker, and who did every operation from tanning the leather to driving the last peg into the finished pair of shoes. But the village cobbler is a thing of the past. Shoes are now made in large factories and pass through many hands and undergo many different operations before they are completed. The spinning- wheel and hand-loom have given place to immense cotton and woolen mills with complicated textile machinery. Besides a change in the industrial system as a whole have occurred changes in the methods of individual Workers. The old cobbler's apprentice learned to make shoes in the traditional way, but now the shoe-worker simply does one mechanical operation over and over, and has no comprehension of the whole process. The method now is scientific and cannot be learned by mere ob- servation in the shop. Who, then, shall carry on our industries? The factory worker has become more and more an automaton, a part of the machine, a hand, with no especial need of a head. Greater and greater responsibility come to rest upon the foreman, the superintendent, and the engineer. It is clear that a new and more efficient class of men is needed to oversee and lead. These men cannot acquire the needed knowledge in the shop, it would take too long and, moreover, would be impossible under modern conditions. The great changes which have taken place in all branches of manufacture have created a pressing need of expert T.H.S. Ebe Gbriole : 1907 99 and scientific directors. How these men are to be trained is, however, a problem. The methods of production have been greatly changed, but production is only one of the provinces of industry. The other branch, distribution, is no less important and has undergone as complete a reformation. The improved transportation facilities, the discoveries of the telegraph and telephone, and many minor inventions such as the typewriter, have not only made the world smaller, but have given to one man of to-day the commercial capacity of a dozen of the not remote past. The improved methods of production have also created a demand for more intelligent and efficient oversight of distribution. The advance of these combined phases of industry has en- hanced another transformation which has slowly but surely taken place. This economic growth has been converting us from a people absorbed with the internal development of our continent to one of the great commercial powers of the world. For some time we have used the superlatives biggest, best, and great- est to our heart's content, but within a quarter of a century a nation has risen from comparative obscurity to power and great- ness in industry and has become a formidable rival of England and the United States. That nation, it is needless to say, is Germany. The necessity of providing expert directors of industry was recognized by Germany to be essential to successful competi- tive production, and it is quite possible that by studying the way she overcame her difficulties we may learn something applicable to the solution of our own problems. A detailed description of Germany's rise and progress is unnecessary. Made in Germany, has become a familiar legend in all parts of the world. It does not necessarily imply poor quality either. The best scientific instruments, for example, bear that trade-mark, and because some German goods are cheap, it does not follow that all their products are of low grade. An amusing incident recently showed the German point of view. When the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse made a record passage from New York to Southhampton, she steamed into port with Made in Germany painted on her side in large white letters. Germans are not ashamed of their output. 'ATO what is Germany's progress due? we ask at once. The reply comes from all sides, To her industrial education. Ger- many is reaping the fruits of the painstaking and far-seeing policy she has entered upon, says one, another tells us, l'The fact that Germanyls remarkable industrial prosperity is traceable very largely to her educational methods is granted by all foreigners who have investigated the matter. By the establishment of trade, commercial, and technical schools, Germany has solved the problem of modern industry. 100 Che 911016 : 1907 Vvf. iv She has lifted her individual workers, has made them less a part of the automatic machine and more intelligent men with a com- prehensive knowledge of a trade. She has developed a corps of distributors conversant with all phases of commercial activity. She has been training up a class of men for the direction of all kinds of industrial enterprise in which scientific knowledge is finding its embodiment and application. She has a disciplined army of soldiers but her competitors need fear her military troops far less than her corps of technically trained leaders of industry. And underlying all, she has kept in mind the principle that a wide general knowledge of men and things is the soundest basis for a successful man of business, and has founded her special training on a thorough elementary education. 1 Let us now briefly consider the situation in the United States. Thirty years ago, industrial education was practically unknown in this country. Any departure from the so-called culture education was regarded with suspicion, and all innovations were looked upon as new-fangled and notional. To-day, however, the situation is vastly improved. A general recognition of the importance of special training has resulted in a wide spread, though not uniform growth of schools and colleges to a greater or less degree industrial. When we compare what we now have with what we did have, when we observe the rapid and universal growth of industrial education, we a.re at first inclined to be self-satisfied. Further investigation, however, shows our present provision for industrial training to be wholly inadequate. When we compare our scattered schools with those of Germany, for instance, we realize how little we have really done. Germany has almost twenty technical schools to our one. We have no systerng we have not grown as a consistent whole. And grow and develop we must if we wish to succeed. If we wish to obtain a grasp of foreign markets, if we desire to maintain our present position among the great industrial nations, if we are ambitious to advance and not stand still, in a word, if we wish to prosper, we must educate our workers and we must train intelligent and progressive directors for both branches of industry. New conditions confront us 3 new methods of learn- ing to do have been the outcome of new methods of doingg the necessity of training men to lead has resulted from the increased responsibilities of leadership. We have seen Germany's wonderful rise and its causeg we have come to realize the importance of in- dustrial training. We have made rapid strides in the right direction but we must neither stop nor rush blindly ahead, for upon our development of a wise and a far broader plan of indus- trial education depends, in a large degree, the future success and prosperity of the nation. x 1 - iilan ming 'A Qxerciwef. 5 Wy i .

Junior and Senior Boys' Assembly NOVEMBER 27, 1906 In order that the boys of the junior and Senior classes of the school might become better acquainted with each other, an in- formal gathering was held in the assembly hall on the evening of November twenty-seventh. The fellows listened to a very inter- esting debate on the subject, Resolved, that United States sena- tors should be elected by popular vote. Messrs. Gibbs and Wright of nought eight upheld the affirmative, while Messrs. Burr and Eschholz of nought seven supported the negative, Mr. Foster of the senior class acted as chairman. After long deliberation on the part of the judges, the decision was awarded to the affirma- tive. The debate was followed by a free-for-all discussion as to the advisability of forming a club or organization for the members of the two upper classes. Although many students favored such a move, still as the plan was looked on with apprehension by others, nothing definite was done at the meeting. The remainder of the evening was devoted to the singing of college songs. Light refreshments were served.

Immediately after the Christmas vacation this malady became prevalent. As a result, the class voted to hold an informal social as a remedy for the disease. Accordingly, on the evening of january fifteenth, the class with its invited friends gathered for an enjoyable time in the gymnasium. The entertainment began with the recitation of two humorous selections by Miss Vlfhite, after Which dancing Was enjoyed. When all present had danced just enough to take the uneasiness out of their bones, and incidentally to stub their toes on the cracks in the floor, a short intermission was agreeable. During this breathing space the class gathered around the piano and sang college songs. After the singing a few more dances were enjoyed before the ominous warning came that it was time to break up. The social was a success and everyone had a good time. The music furnished by Messrs. Eschholz and Favor was excellent. They were relieved for some of the dances by Miss Frost who also played exceedingly wellg her rendering of the Virginia Reel was especially effective. The last image. imprinted upon all minds was that of Glynn helping Miss George and the other girls Wash the dishes. ORDER OF DANCES 1. Two Step 2. Waltz 3. Schottische 4. Two Step Intermission 5.

'Ciba 6511016 : 1907 105 Nought Eight Mock Trial JANUARY 17, 1906 When the members of nought eight assembled for the first meeting in the fall of the Junior year, it was evident that they were strangers. The boys took the seats farthest back in the room, while the modest girls sat in the front rows. The former were too backward about coming forward, while the latter, naturally, were not sufficiently forward to go back, To remedy this fault, and secure the desirable class spirit, it was decided to hold a social in order that the Juniors might become better acquainted with one another. Accordingly, a committee appointed for the purpose provided an entertainment in the form of a mock trial. Sad to say, the character of one of our most trusted members was seri- ously questioned. The poor unfortunate, who was accused of a technical charge of larceny, was convicted after a hotly contested trial. After hearing the sentence pronounced, the members of the class enjoyed dancing until a late hour, when refreshments were served, Stewart catering. The patronesses were Miss Thrasher, Miss Lovell, and Miss Brown. The committee in charge consisted of the Misses Cutler, Duke, Shea, and Shepherd, and Messrs. Sibley and Lane. The following is the procedure Of the trial in brief as recorded by Miss Juliet Hanchett, the court stenographer. Mr. Edward Chisholm is accused by Earl Swan of stealing glances at the girls.

The dance was most successful. The hall which was attrac- tively and tastefully decorated added much to the gay appearance of the dancers. A programme of sixteen numbers was played by the Philharmonic Orchestra, after which refreshments were served, Barr catering. The success of the affair was largely due to the committee in charge.

The basement of the building assumed the appearance of circus grounds. The girls' lunch room was fitted up as the menag- erie tent with its animals. Also in this room, presided over by the young ladies of the class, were the candy and pop-corn tent, and the ice cream and pink lemonade stand. Further down the corridor stood the side-show barker, telling in loud accents the wonderful attractions of the side-show. This part of the production occupied the Whole of the boys' lunch room. Here in cages and on stands Were the freaks, the trick animals, and the amusing Punch and Judy performance. On leaving the side-show one encountered the doll booth With the crowd throwing baseballs at the outrageously costumed dolls, labeled '08, '09 and 'l0. One was also met by strangely dressed girls selling pop-corn and candy. The big shown occupied the gymnasium. A sawdust ring Was built, and in this the one ring circus was given, with its ac- robatic feats, trained animals, equestrian stunts, and side-splitting clowns. The committee in charge of the circus Was R. S. Crane, chair- man, Mr. Metzdorf, drilling masterg john V. Boyle, Archie B. Cutler, Grace I. George, and Edna Martin. ZTH.S.

The two principal reasons for this were, the close proxi- mity of the two high schools after the change and the presence of girls in the new building. Thus, although we have been in our new quartersl ess than a year, there already exist several clubs of a democratic nature. THE PHI EPSILON , The Senior and junior girls were the Hrst to form a club. Although the organization is under the guidance of the room teachers, the girls always furnish the entertainments. The meetings, which are informal, are designed, not only to make the members feel at home, but also to afford pleasant means for instruction. There are no officers, no dues, no limitations what- ever as to membership, the club is accessible to all, A committee is appointed at each meeting to provide the entertainment for the next. Thus every person has the advantage of experience in this line. The committees that have had charge of the meet- ings so far follow: ' FOR JANUARY FOR FEBRUARY FOR MARCH Ruth Frost Marian Hodge Lillian Mills Hazel Adams Maida Clark Latona Pease Edna Martin Mary Heffner Adelaide Daly - Rena Bradley Eileen Shea Louise Eredette FOR APRIL FOR MAY Loretto Daly Gertrude Manning Florence Bugbee Adeline Greene Marie Gagnon Katherine Duke Madelaine Craw T.H.S. 'Ctibe 90016 : 1907 127 The Owls FOUNDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1906 From the practice of reciting poems in the English class, the nought nine boys realized the value of public speaking. Accordingly, an effort was made to organize a society in which the fellows would receive help from one another along declama- gory lines. During the first year, however, all attempts to or- tanize such a club came to naught. In the following September, plans for a debating society were consummated. As the class was permanently situated in one room, interest was easily revived, the result was the forma- tion of The Gwls, September twenty-eighth. The boys have drilled alone and are now able to make a very creditable appear- ance before an audience. The present officers and members of the club are: Presidezit, JOHN T. WARD Vice President, HENRY G. THEROUX Sec1'eta1'y and Treas141'e1', VVALTER F. HUNIE FRED LERCHE, J. R. MONTGOMERY, W. B. PIRNIE, I. P. SALISBURY, M. M. SMITH, and F. R. THEROUX Debates have been held on the following subjects: Q Should Cuba be annexed to the United States? Was the Republican victory in New York State better for the state than a Democratic victory would have been? Should the United States acquire more territory? Should the eight hour day be universally adopted? 128 'Ciba wriole : 1907 Vol- iv Glee Club The Glee Club, which was not organized until May, promises to be a worthy representative of the school. Although at first somewhat hindered by a lack of initiative on the part of the fellows, enough interest in this organization has been stimulated to insure a good club. Time and study have developed a re- markable fund of talent, so that the future prospects of the Glee Club are bright. Orchestra This feature of the schools was formed in November and is composed of members from both Central and Tech. The organ- ization has begun its career harmoniously and all indications point to an auspicious season.

They're gone with all their welcome show They're gone the way that thou shalt go. O thou who choosest for thy share The marks that always seem so fair, Take what thou get'st, grieve not at all, For if marks are low, they cannot fall! The little Freshman bowed his headg Tears fell upon the card he read. THOUGHT TVVO One day a Sophy, dull as lead, Did not know the French he read :- What is this word, and what the rest? I thought my lesson I possessed! HI know notg oh, 'tis gone I know. 'Tis gone where all my lessons gof' HO thou who wants a mark so fair Why dost not study thy lesson there? K'Take thy D, for what else more Can a wise man give a Sophomore! The dull young Sophy bowed his head Tears fell upon the page he read. 2 UDB Oriole : 1907 V ol. iv THOUGHT THREE One day a junior sadly read A letter wherein his girl had said:- 'Where is your love, and Where the rest, That should make us so truly blest? 'Tis gone with all its loving show, 'Tis gone the way that thou shalt go. HO thou who choosest for thy share Love and all the maidens fair, 'Take all that they can give or lend, But know that grief is at the end! The sad young junior bowed his heady Tears fell upon the page he read. . THOUGHT FOUR One day a proud old Senior read A sheepskin on which this was said:- This certifies that you have done Your lessons and that you have won. He thought o' the Wisdom he possessed, And hoped that he at-last could rest. O, proud old Senior, dost thou know That now to hard work thou must go? Thou hast a fight before thee yet, Before thy rest thou'lt ever get! The proud old Senior bowed his head: Tears fell upon the skin he read. T.H.S.

ORIOLE BOARD : Gentlemen: It is impossible for me to express my opinion of TI-IE ORIOLE in writ- ing. Whenever I read the articles contributed by Philip P. Baldwin, James T. Cullen, and the Honorable Clyde M. Packard, I do not wonder that the book stands upon its present basis. The sketches illustrating the literary side of the school life are as deathless as Plutarch's Lives, the blank half-pages here and there provide space for my children to illustrate the articles. Respectfully, I. M. YoURs. AN IDEAL PUBLICATION CEXtract from a lecture given in Boston in 18915 Ladies and Gentlemen:-There are many things which tend to make a bad Annual good. I have lately received a copy of THE ORIOLE, the annual publication of the Technical High School of Springfield, Massachu- setts, surely it would be a waste of time and breath for me to tell you that THE ORIOLE is an ideal publication. The material for the book is done up by five fellows each of whom is an expert off his line. Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me say in closing, that I look forward to the time when this great and beneficial publication shall be in every home. , NOTICE The relics taken from THE ORIOLE Box are on exhibition in room twenty-five. Step in and see them. 144 'Ciba Oriole : 1907 V01 111 ANDERSON, ARTHUR H. BIGELOXV, W. WALTER BURLEY, JOHN W. CLARKE, EDMUND R. COVVLES, THOMAS L. DABOLL, F. RAYMOND DRISCOLL, HENRY W.
