Wackerli, Corby, Hempel, Impson, and Kelley, with the able assistance of Coach Reinhard made it a promising team for leadership in the city championship by winning eight games and losing-well the team did reach runners-up in the city championship. Student laundry became a regular afternoon duty and the shirts had actually improved by the end of the course. Unintentional starching of Cec's shorts created a laugh-then we got our grades-Ceo always gets the last laugh. From the amazing loss in tensile strength that the shirts suffered and the corrosive dam- age evident in them, one might think the stu- dents had already attended the washroom course. . . . Anyone who had not couldn't pos- sibly have had so many excuses for fabric damage and failure to withstand laundering. Finally We miraculously finished our blue- prints and our theses, so were entitled to take the final exams and thus the production course for '39 passed into history. Page Eight

plant production course A blow .on the trip to East lkloline. Who acquired the card table for the poker game? Answer requested. IVING into the production course with the same eagerness that had affected us on the event of the first course, we were suddenly brought to the realization that we must endure diligent toil for the next seven weeks. Walt gave us a short review of what we were to expect and from that point on we had decided that it was almost no use trying to finish in a mere seven weeks. All will well remember those back-breaking hours over drawing boards to perfect the per- fect plant, and the nights Cand early morn- ingsb spent in figuring and refiguring produc- tion department records, boiler capacity, 'types and sizes of equipment, and a hundred other unobtrusive and yet definitely important items. There were, of course, those who waited 'til the last minute and spent the last few days of the course doing their work at home. CEditor's Note: We have it from authoritative source that Hempel's layout and thesis was in before eight on the night of the 13th.J Also our memory will retain that trip to Chicago to study plants and production methods. Bernie's reminescing of New York, or was it the Bronx, and pitching pennies to the kids out- side the Monarch Laundry. Among the many who joined him were Mr. C. H. Lanham, Esq., who, himself, parted with a few hard earned pennies .... The miles and miles we walked were well rewarded, however, for we learned that all the theory we were learning at the Institute was as practical and as impor- tant as Walt had been telling us. There was an additional reward for those who liked poker. . . . The bus was a little too unstable to make a good table though. Walt divulged a few rather risque jokes to the intelligentsia and generally added to the pleasantness Cor was it unpleasantnessb of the return trip. l Walt studies effect of temperature on drying time.

textiles and washroom procedure course Messrs. Harmon and Kirby arrive in the fair city of Joliet. Ed. Note - The smiles soon turned to frowns as they delved into chem- istry and textiles. ETURNING from the Christmas vacation, we found fifteen new students eager, yet a little afraid, much as we were that fate- ful day in September, to begin learning the intricacies of washroom procedure and textile construction. However, they too, soon became one of the gang and we went back to the old schedules of work, Woodruff, and worry Cabout gradesb. Professor Morton, Lanky Anderson, and Pretty Boy Carroll tutored us daily and We soon became experts in many and varied arts, including: Washroom practice, chemistry, tex- tiles, laboratory procedure, Woodruffing, etc. During this course two traditions were orig- inated-that of a farewell dinner for 'those leaving the protecting fold, and regular board meetings at the Woodruff. Red Campbell became the class baby and Bud Henry was Papa, Their antics were a continuous boon to our funny bones. Maybe that is what Ohio does for you. Myers seems a little queer, too. We learned a great deal more of Norming- ton's Three Ring Circus, and of his wife, too-from Bill Phair. Bobbie The Angel Leonard took Pops Lamsey's position as Class Cutup, and it was with awe that we learned he was to be married in September. Remember his running around all day with test samples in each hand, then all the trouble he had with the test kit he ordered? Art Anderson was elected president of the Breakfast Club that met every morning dur- ing the first blow in the cafeteria. He ac- cepted his high oflice amid the cheers Cspelled jeersj and shouting of the members, to-wit: the 908 Club, the Lincoln Mob, and the Louis Joliet Rabble. Moe Tubis, the class Red, was panned to the point of utter distraction, but he finally came to take his rimming as .a matter of W 45:21 as-. :-:-:-.-5523 ' oooo ' W 7 , 7 iff' iff if Off ff f :ii ,gg A 9 . :iii 1:4 f' - ' W f fff ff - f-M' Q ' f',ff ,f 1 J,-V 4 .... .ir - ,af f.
