power plant course ..a 1 Q26 ' I ' A friendly greeting from Mrs. Brooker made us all feel at home. N the morning of September 5, twentyfone students were wel' comed as they passed through the portals of the American Institute of Laundering by smiling Mrs. Brooker and Cec, who soon made the introducf tions among -the registering students that kindled warm and lasting friend' ships through life. Those cheerful-yet hesitant-conversations grew until they seemed to call out -to the corridors of the A.I.L.- Here is the finest group of students of all time to dip into your well of knowledge of America's finest industry. No sooner had we met Walt and his unique and rugged personality than we knew that he was one of us. After three days ma frands Calhoon and Burchard swelled the enrollment to -twentyfthree students from fifteen states. The many interesting events which took place during the course will live long in our memories, especially the cleaning of the heat reclaimer, where the boys really showed Walt they could roll up their sleeves and go to work. Herr Tubis proved that he could really throw it-the dirt from the heat ref claimer, of course. The sunny Illinois skies gave the students the opportunity to really take the faculty in soft ball with a score of 5 to 2. How could they win with Goad as umpire. Soft guy Normington got his regular work' outs in class by swinging at flies instead of the punching bag. 'The annual cleaning of the boiler proved Martin to be the dirtiest guy in the class. Tiny missed Walt's class in the boiler when he failed to get in the fire door. The 1940 Laundryowners' National Convention was held in Chicago at the Palmer House, giving the students and staff a chance to attend, as well as a threefday holiday. Pleasant experiences and spirits Roe and Brock cleaned the hopper'-'but who cleaned them? Page F ive

Calhoon, how did Pop Schadt get that Saturday night date at the Convention? The famous Casey Jones Mug in Hand base' ball game served as the farewell event for the Power Plant Course, which wound up with an initiation at the Y , Little William Kerr proved to be a tough hombre, with schoolboy Roe getting the worst of it while the artist Zinkow did his work. How does it look, Penny? California has everything-at least that's what the women say about Don juan Hondeville. And that's no lie. If grades mean a lot to you, ask Moan and Groann fBrock and Stormontj how to get them. Several instructive lectures by prominent allied tradesmen added much to the course. Such men as Mr. john Harrington, Northern Illinois Coal Com' panyg Mr. Roy White, American Laundry Machinery Company, Mr. Les Kinzle, Prosperity Companyg Mr. Thomas Marsh, Iron Firemen Companyg and Mr. Weeks, Whitlock Heater Company, added many gems of information to our accumulation of power plant knowledge. The fatal days of exams were on us before we knew it-except Cec and Walt, who have had plenty of experience in utoughing up an exam. All's well that ends well, but Kerr still believes there is a dry pipe. What about it, Walt?
