Associate Professor of Hydraulic F'ngineering Armour Institute of Technology Captain, Quartermaster’s Corps United States Army OTANLEY DEAN, the son of John Dean and Elizabeth Stevenson Findlaw Dean, was born in Manchester, England, in 1879. At the age of nine years he came to the United States with his parents, his father being engaged in engineering contracting at that time. His education was obtained in various schools, mostly in the South and West as his father’s business necessitated moving from place to place. In 1901 he entered Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., remaining two years. The family then settling in Chicago, Stanley entered the Civil Engineering Department of the Armour Institute of Technology, graduating in 1905. He received the degree of Civil Engineer from the Armour Institute of Technology in 1910. The same year, Mr. Dean was appointed Instructor in Civil Engineering at Armour Institute, having charge of instruction in Hydraulics, Water Power, Reinforced Con- crete and General Construction, methods and costs. In 1912 he was made Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering and in 1917, Associate Professor of Hydraulic Engineering. In January 1918 he resigned to become Principal Assist- ant to Supervising Engineer, Department of Constructing Quartermaster, Camp A. A. Humphreys, Accotink, Va., in charge of railroad location, general surveys and dock con- struction. He received a Captain’s commission on August 24, 1918 and was then Supervising Engineer in the Con- structing Quartermaster’s Corps at Camp Humphreys, Va. He was supervising the building of a dam and power plant at Springfield, Va., in connection with Camp Humphreys, when he was instantly killed October 2, 1918 at a railroad crossing. iiiiiiimiiimiiiiiMiiiiiwiiiiiuiHiiiiiHiiiiimniiiMi iiiuumiaiiiiiiniiiiiiHHiitiraiiiiiwiiiiuuiiiiimjiiiirHimwtiiiinimiimiiiiiuMiiit niiiii 7 ■nmwiimiii I) I. I) I c A T I () N wiiiiUBiiiiHvimiin IIIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIKIIIIIIIS- I) K F) I C He was on his way in an auto to the dam at Springfield. A coloi ed chauffeur was with him but he was driving at the time. The crossing at this place is very dangerous, the view of the tracks being obstructed. He had waited for a train to pass and then started across the tracks only to be caught by a fast train from the opposite direction. The chauffeur jumped and escaped without injury, but Captain Dean in trying to save himself and the car, stalled the engine and then jumped to save himself. He was struck and thrown one hundred feet, the blow killing him instantly. As a student, instructor, engineer, and a man among men, Stanley Dean was one in a thousand. Absolutely honest, upright, clean, mentally and morally, he commanded the love and respect of all with whom he came in contact. He possessed a keen analytical mind, infinite patience and ability of concentration that was reflected in whatever he undertook. He loved to teach and his professional experi- ence combined with up-to-date knowledge of his specialty, made him an ideal instructor. Stanley Dean was married December 14, 1913, to Miss Ellen Hallaway of Schaghticoke, New York, who, with a daughter, survives him. He was elected Associate Member of the Am. Soc. C. E. oil April 1, 1908. He was also a member of Sigma Kappa Delta, Beta Theta Pi, and Tau Beta Pi fraternities. “Stanley Dean was the type of man to whom a young man in the Armour Institute of Technology might look with admiration and affection. Wordsworth’s saying that ‘We live by admiration, thought, and love,’ must always be remembered when teachers are provided for ambitious youth, such as throng the halls of the Armour Institute of Technology, and there has never been a regret upon the officers of our institution that Stanley Dean held the place of love and thought and admiration in the minds of our students. Goodness is greatness, and the knightly manner of a true gentleman will ever be associated with our de- parted associate and friend.” FRANK W. GUNSAIIAS. UBMIM1 9 01 D K ! I C A T I O N Jean Pierre Bedjaub Class of' 7 JKA PIKRRE BECHAUD enlisted in May 1917, attend- ing the First Officers’Training Camp at Fort Sheridan, 111. After five weeks of continuous training he was sent to Fort- ress Monroe to continue his training in the Coast Artillery. On the 15th of August he received his commission as Second Lieutenant of the Coast Artillery. The 22nd of August he married Miss Viola Mitchell of Fond du Lac, Wis., and immediately after the wedding left for Fort Wright, New York, where he was stationed. Shortly after his arrival at Fort Wright he was promoted to First Lieutenant. During all this time his one hope and ambition was that he would get overseas, for he thought that he had remained here long enough as it was. He was Material Officer and one of Colonel Dorsey’s staff officers. On April 10, 1918, a sergeant suddenly became insane, shooting seven soldiers and killing five. Lieut. Bechaud was in the Material office when he heard the shooting. Running to the door he saw one of the men fall from an upper story window of one of the cantonments. He ran to pick up the wounded soldier and as he was about to do so, the crazed sergeant fired and shot Jean through the abdo- men. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and specialists summoned from New York and Boston. They proclaimed his condition critical but had faint hopes that he would pull through. This happened on a Wednesday morning and on Friday morning he passed away. He had been conscious up until almost the last. His father and mother had been summoned but they arrived too late to see their son alive. Lieut. Bechaud was the first man from Fond du Lac to make the supreme sacrifice. Among his classmates there was no man liked and admired better than “Pinky” Be- chaud. He was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity. 11 '.miiiMiiiiiMiiiimiiiHmiiiiiMiiiiwiiMMiiiHumiiiniiiiiMiiiiMiiiimiiiiwiiiiMiiiiMniiiHiiiiiMiiiiMii I) K I) I C A T I O X nniHnimiHiiiiiiBiiiiHMiii lllll guniiiiiiimiiBiiii iiMiiimiiHmiiimiiiimiiiiiMiiiiimiiiunii ’:i'i1'. i' MM Mil mm. uni; min mm mu I) K I) ! C A TION Charles! ot ©ean IIEUTENANT CHARLES ABBOT DEAN, the son j of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur A. Dean of Chicago, 111., died on June 29th of wounds received in action. He volunteered in the Engineer Corps in April, 1917, the first month of the war. He was sent to Fort Leavenworth where he received his training and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. In January, 1918, he sailed for France and was assigned to the 2nd Engineers at Verdun, and then moved with his regiment near Paris. At the time when the enemy was advancing on Paris, he participated in all the severe fighting that his division was engaged in. He led one of two commands that relieved sections of the Fifth and Sixth Marines at Lucy. On June 28th, advancing to a new position south of Chateau Thierry under heavy artillery fire, he stopped at the Battalion Headquarters for instructions and as he left the building to rejoin his platoon, a shell exploded nearby, fragments of which made ugly wounds. He was taken to the La Ferte Hospital, but died the following day and was buried in a French cemetery at La Ferte, France. Charles Dean was graduated from Armour Institute, the Department of Civil Engineering, with the Class of 1914. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta and Tau Beta Pi fraternities. iiiuntiuuwiiuwiinwnmKimMUimviiiittiiiiiii ■NimiiiiHHiiiwtiiiiuiiiiiiiiimMuiiiiaNiiniHMi 14 I) K D I C A T I O N IIIU Jasper J.

He was a graduate of Notre Dame University, later a student of architecture at Armour Insti- tute, and at the time of entering service was studying law at Northwestern University. He was among the first Chicago boys to enter service after war was declared, and qualified for the hirst Officers’ Training Camp at Fort Sheridan. Due to his fascination for the air service, however, he decided to try for the Flying Corps. He was then sent to Texas where he completed his ground school training. He obtained his commission as Second Lieutenant and was kept at Dallas as an instructor. He met with an accident while carrying a pupil at 3,000 feet. The machine caught on fire, became unmanageable, and crashed to the earth, where he was instantly killed. The student, although injured, recovered. i IKUIIIIU ■MlllimillliMUimiilHIMIM [iiNiiniiHiiaiMiiiaiiminiiiiiimiimniiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimniiiimiiiiiiuiiiiiiDiiiiimiiimuiMiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiudiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiminiimiMiiiimiiiiimiiiiii mi iiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiuaniuniiiimiiimniiiwiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiRtmiimiiiuiMiiiwHiiiniii iiniiiiiMiiiiHiniuaiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiwiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiBiiiiiwiiiiiRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiimBiiiiiimiimiiiinBiiiimiiimiiiiimiiiiiMiiimiiiiiiniiiHi IBIIIH I) I l I C A T I O X (Kiimiwmmn iiiiniiiiiMiiiimiiimiiiiHMiiiUNt Claube $3 IIEUT. CLAUDE B. HILL, the only son of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Hill, was born in Seattle, Wash., on August 13, 1894. He graduated from Hyde Park High School, Chicago, in February, 1913, entered Armour Institute the same year and in 1916 completed the course in Fire Protec- tion. On May 9, he enlisted with the hirst Officers’ Training Corps at Fort Sheridan and in June was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. Commissioned as Second Lieut, in the Engineers in August, he was assigned to Camp Custer, Michigan, Co. A, 310th Engineers. On July 20, 1918, he sailed from New York with the 8 th Division, landing at Archangel, Russia, on September 1st. It was in Russia that he met his terrible fate. He and his platoon had been sent to Seltsoe on the Dvina river. On October 8th he was ordered by the commander of forces at Seltsoe to bring in a tug deserted by its Russian captain and crew. He was under fire all the time and in order to get back before daylight was forced to abandon the tug. Attempting to swim across, they were carried down by the current before assistance could reach them. While at “Armour” he had been active in athletics, and was three years catcher on the “Armour” baseball team. He was also a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity.

He graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1914 and attended a year at the State Teachers’ College. The next three years were spent at Armour Institute, where he entered the Mechanical Engineering course. In the spring of 1918 he enlisted in the Merchant Marine, and in the fall took an examination for second assisting engineer, in which capacity he was working on the Manola. During the summer he had been to New Orleans on the steamship Mormus and also to Italy on the Westlake. It was when he was on his way to Montreal preparatory to crossing the Atlantic again that he met his tragic fate. Something went wrong with the vessel, which began to sink, and he was entrapped and carried down with it. Einar held the respect and admiration of all who knew him, being a man of irreproachable character and unques- tionable patriotism. He was a member of the Omega Lambda fraternity. 19 limillMIIIMIIMIIMlinMIlllMIIIMIIimillMIIIMIIIMIIIIMIIIMIIimilllMIIIMHIIIMIIIIMIIIIIMIIIIMIIIIMn |aMllMWBiiiiaiiMiiUBin i wiMii itimjiiiiiwiiiitaiiiHWiMwainiWHiHatiiiii«iHimHiii«iMiuwiiiHWiii w HHM ‘iitaHiwMir iiiiMHiiiHniiiiai!iiiiiiHiwi iiiiiiintiiiiwiiimiiiH; D E I) I C A T 1 () X €nocf) iI. ebertn SKRGEANT ENOCH N. SEVERIN, the son of Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Severin, was born in Chicago on January 21, 1893. He graduated from Crane Technical High School in June, 1911. The following year he attended Armour, and in June, 1912, entered into his father’s contracting business, in which he was engaged until he enlisted in the army on February 24, 1918. He was first stationed at Camp Grant, bur on the third of May was sent to the Engineer Officers’ Training Camp at Camp Tee, Virginia. Enoch made excellent grades at this camp, and would have received his commission but for an accident to his knee which prevented his attending the examinations during the latter part of his course. In July he was sent to Camp Forrest, Georgia, where he was imme- diately made a sergeant. During his stay here he did a great deal of topographical work. On the 29th of September, he left for Camp Upton, New York, and embarked for France on the 30th of the same month. He had contracted influenza while at Camp Upton, which developed into pneumonia during the time that he was crossing the Atlantic aboard the S. S. “George Washington.” It finally got the best of him and on Sunday, October 6th, he passed away. In a letter to his parents, the sergeants of his company wrote: “There is not a man in the company who has not grown to love Sergeant Severin because of his ever-ready willingness to help any one who needed him.” ______________1______ 21 MiiiimHiiiMwiMiMmiiiuHiiiMiiiiniiiMMiniMiiinmHiiiniiiiwiiiiiMiiiiMiiiiiimiiiHaiiiHMiiiiiMiiiiMiiiiiniiniaimiMiiim 5. £ St en Armour jUrg.J.d gben grmour Holtta Armour ittrs.pjtlip B.

IN STITIT K ANE Sunday in the early ’90s I)r. E. V. Gunsaulus, then pastor of the Ply- N—' mouth Church at 26th Street and Michigan Boulevard, preached a sermon lamenting the lack of preparation which young people receive to face the practical needs and duties of life. One of the members of the church, Mr. Philip 1). Armour, was deeply impressed because his interest in the practical training of young people had already been awakened to some extent by observing the work done under the direction of Mrs. Julia A. Beveridge at the Armour Mission. The Armour Mission had been built by Mr. P. I). Armour to carry out the wish of his brother, Mr. Joseph Armour, who had left a bequest of 5100,000 for that purpose. The build- ing was opened in 1886. The popularity of the classes in manual training and domestic arts held in the Mission, together with the influence of the suggestions of I)r. Gunsaulus, induced Mr. Armour to erect and endow munificiently an insti- tution devoted to practical and liberal education, and the institution which now bears his name is a fitting and enduring monument to the ideals for which Mr. Armour stood. In order to crystallize the ideas concerning the proposed institute, a trip to the various colleges in the Hast and in Europe was made by Mr. Armour and Dr. Gunsaulus. The organization of the Board of Trustees consisting of Mr. Philip I). Armour, Jr., and Mr. J. K. Black followed upon the return of Mr. Armour and Dr. Gunsaulus. 1892 saw the completion of a handsome and spacious building, and what is now known as the Main Building, but it was not, however, until the fall of 1893 that the first classes were organized. The original program of the Institute included the Technical College comprised of Mechanical Engineering, Library Economy, and Architecture; the Scientific Academy; and the Associated Departments of Arts and Sciences, Commerce, Music, and Kindergarten Normal Training. The union with the Art Institute in inaugurating the Architectural Department was made in the early part of 1893 and the Armour Institute developed the course which the Art Institute had suc- cessfully established in 1889. iniiiiiHiiiiiraiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiBiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiitniiiiiimiiiiimiiiiimiiiiiiBii!iiiuiiiiiiniiiiiiiiii!iiimniiiiuiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiii!niiiiimiiii!iiiiii!iiiiiiiiiDiiiii!iiiii!!miiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiii!!iiiiiii!!i;!iiiiii:iiii!inii!:i;’!i!ii:'|!ii 29 THK INSTITI TK 30 uiitauiiiuiiiiint iuuii!iKiiimiiiiimiiiiutiiiiiniiiii!Kiiiitniiiiiieu!iiiuiiiiiaiiiiiKiiiiiiHtiiiiMiimB9| Dr. Gunsaulus, as president, was assisted by a small, but very efficient faculty, of which Prof. L. C. Monin, Prof. John K. Snow, Mrs. Julia A. Beveridge, and Mr. Agle are still associated with the institute. The Trustees very generously fostered the growth of the new institution. Mention must also be made of the work of Mr. F. U. Smith, who, as Secretary of the Board of Trustees and Comp- troller of the Institute, has, since the inception of the Armour Institute of Tech- nology, taken the keenest interest in everything that would contribute to its progress and efficiency. In 1895 the name was changed from Amour Institute to Armour Institute of Technology as a more fitting title. In 1896 the course in Library Science was removed to the University of Illinois at Champaign and the Commerce course was discontinued. In their stead the course of Civil Engineering was added and has, together with the other engineering courses, been constantly strengthened and improved upon. The course in Kindergarten Normal Training was discontinued in 1900 and a year later the Domestic Art course was taken over by the Chicago Women’s Club and is now located in the Tower Building, where very good work is being done. Mrs. Philip I). Armour, Sr., very generously donated the necessary equipment to the Women’s Club for the maintenance of this course. It was decided in 1901 that the Scientific Academy would admit no new girl students but that those then enrolled would be permitted to complete their course. The course of Chemical Engineering was added to the engineering courses and the name Technical College was changed to College of Engineering. The Evening Classes were installed in 1902 and have since proved to be most popular with young men who are employed during the day and who desire to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire an engineering training that is thus placed within their reach. The Summer Courses were first offered at the same time and have become helpful to those students who desire additional studies. In 1902 Mrs. P. I). Armour donated the building known as Machinery Hall, while Mr. J. Ogden Armour bore the expense of providing and installing the equip- ment for all of the shops which are to be found there. Ogden Field, the athletic and drill field of Armour Institute, was presented to the institute by Mr. J. Ogden Armour in 1904 and its presence has greatly stimu- lated the interest in athletics among the students and the faculty. Two additions have been made to the Institute since the erection of Machinery- Hall. In 1908 the Refrigeration Laboratory with complete equipment, was built and in 1917 was added the Internal Combustion Engine Laboratory. 'Phis is the best and most complete laboratory of its kind in the United States, a fact of which all Armourites are justly proud. Twenty-six years have stamped Armour as an exponent of progress. Among the colleges ever ready to advance the cause of practical science, to take the lead in spreading worthy technical movements, and even to assume the initiative by introducing new courses to the technical educational world, A. I. T. must always be classed with the foremost. Changing conditions in the industrial and educa- tional fields have been promptly realized and intelligently met, with no hesitation induced by false sentiment.

It was with a feeling of great expectation not unmixed with a feeling of apprehension of what was before us that we registered and started upon our courses of study. It was somewhat later than usual for the organization of the Freshman Class that we became organized. This action was due to the initiative of Lou Yoemans, who obtained permission from the Deans for holding our first class-meeting. Yoemans was elected to guide our destinies throughout that year. Early in the year the upper-classmen wished to show their welcome to us, and held the Freshman Handshake, which was well attended and gave us an oppor- tunity of becoming acquainted with the men who havl been through the troubles which were just beginning for us. The next event of importance was the Fresh- man Smoker which was held in Grand Boulevard Hall. After the entertainment at the hall, in which entertainment Bob Lorentz was forced to participate, we all adjourned to Washington Park where we proceeded to show the Sophomores that we were good fighters even if we were green. Other events of the year were the banquet which was held at the New Morrison Hotel on Tech Night and the Fresh- man Dance which was held in the Red Room of the La Salle Hotel. In September 1916 many of us were able to return to school, but there were several whom we missed. Too, there were several new men who had joined their fortunes with ours. We did not take much part in the Freshman Handshake, for we wished to reserve our welcome for the Freshies until later. This year the class scrap was held in the form of a sack rush on a vacant lot west of the school. We were out- numbered and beaten, but not a member of the class of ’20 can say that they had an easy time of it. It ended with a good spirit between the classes and, together with the smoker which was held after the rush, marks one of the successes of the year. The Soph banquet was not the success which it should have been but the dance and all other social activities which were undertaken were surely great, and those who did not attend these affairs missed some mighty good times. The Junior year was filled with many activities which detracted somewhat from the usual course of events but not nearly to the extent to which things were inter- rupted during the Senior year. However, many activities were given up in order to prepare ourselves for service for our country; therefore no one regrets any of the pleasures which he was forced to give up. During the Junior year we had charge of the Cycle, which was necessarily smaller on account of existing conditions; we had two very successful dances and 52 iiiiiiiHiiniimiiiiiiiniiimiiiiiiiiiiiiuuiiiiHiimiifliiii iiiiiiiBiiiiiimiiiiiwiiiiiniiiiiiaiiiiiiniiiiiiaiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiinMiliiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiniiiiniiiiwiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiwimiiniiiuiiiiinniiiinniiiimiiiimiiiiuniiii boosted for every activity which was given. These activities were few, but worth while and there are no members of the class who are so narrow as to oppose any- thing worth while. The first part of the Senior year was broken up by the S. A. T. C. and other military work, but the loyalty of every member was well proven, and the Class of 1919 did its duty in every detail. Since the army activities have ceased we have been able to organize and proceed with class activities. The dance held at the Edgewater Beach Hotel was one of the big social events of the year, and we have shown the other classes loyal support in their social affairs. In looking back over the four years we have spent at Armour we feel that we have done our part in all of the affairs which have been given for the benefit of the classes with whom we have been associated and for the benefit of the school. It is with a sad feeling that we sever our intimate connection with the school and its work; but we look to the future with anticipation of success. In closing we wish to thank the President, Deans and Faculty of the Armour Institute of Technology for all of the assistance they have given us, and for the interest they have taken in our affairs. Now we hope to go out into the world and show our appreciation by doing those things which will reflect credit upon our Alma Mater. aniiiiiiaiiiiiMHiiiinuiiiiiwuiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiHuinHiniiiinaiiiiiiMiiitnuiiiiiaiiiiiimuiiiviiii S3 iiiiiiiniiiiiwiiiiMiiiiiauiiiiiiiiiinHiiiHHiiiiniiiiimiiiiwiiiiiHiiiiiiauiiHiiiiiiimiiiuiniiiHiuiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiuiiiiiaiiiiiwiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiimiiiiiMiiiiiMiiiiiuiiiiiiwiiiiiwiiiiiwiiiiiuiiiiiii C I.

Marcus Christopher discovered America about 1913; went directly to Englewood Evening School and absorbed the American language in about three months. He then came to Armour for his technical vocabulary. After spending a few days in the S. A. T. C.

With the disbanding of the S. A. 'I . C. came the realiz- ation that we had but one semester in which to do two semesters’ work, as far as school activities were concerned. As we wished to emerge from the ordeal with colors flying, and in view of the creditable manner in which he had ac- quitted himself as Vice-President of our class in its Sopho- more year, we elected “Bill” Erickson, President. And our judgment went not amiss, for with the diligent assistance of his able cohort he succeeded in reviving most of the interests that mean so much in college life. To begin with, we decided to publish a Cycle that would eclipse all previous issues; so we elected Ellis Cook, Editor- in-Chief; “Bill” Chapin, Business Manager and “Bill” Erickson, Advertising Manager. “Tom” Hall was ap- pointed as Managing Editor. Our basketball team which comprised Seyferlich, Bready, Erickson, Karlson, Anning, Illg and Scharf won the medals, offered by the school, by defeating each of the other class teams in two successive rounds. The games, though not as well attended as they might have been, were nevertheless exciting- to the Juniors anyway. The Junior Banquet was held at the Chicago Motor Club, May 5th. Among the notables present were Dean Raymond and Lieut. Howard B. Maguire, Aerial Observa- tion, recently returned from France. The Junior Dance, held at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, March 7th, was acclaimed a great success by all present. But the Junior Prom, held in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel, May 9th, was the dance of the season; one of the finest ever given by a class at Armour. iiiH'iiniu iiiiimniiiiniiitauiiiiiHiiiiiBniHimiiii MiiiiwiiiuiuiiiiiaiiiiiimiiiiMiiiiimmimiiiiiMiimiimmRiiiiiiniiiiiKiiiiiiiuu lllllllillilillllllUIIIIIIMIIIIMUIUMIIIMIIIIItlllllll'lllllllilllllillllllli Class of 1920 Adam, P.

We have burned much gas. Yes, our electric light bills are high. The stairways have fairly shivered under our constant migration to the roof garden of the fifth floor even as did our knees shake as we entered school on that memorial first day. But oh! boh! what is the attraction on the fifth floor. Can it be a menagerie that we crave to see, or is it a mad rush for gold? No, it could not be either of these. It is rather a place where the young energetic student learns the difference between a marine cross-head and a lamp shade. He becomes embued with the higher thoughts of a drafting room. Now we have it; a drafting room, Dr. Ried’s noted emporium, with its ever blinking lights and all its working models that need continuous oiling. Fellow students, hear us. Is not this sufficient enticement for our terrible stampede to the drawing room observatory? Yes we struggled diligently through this for one whole year and now what is our reward? Merely that we are sophomores, and we have just handed you the usual Freshman line of “bunk.” “Little”, they don’t seem to know who we are yet. What about introducing ourselves. Show the school that we are the only live class in it. Perhaps some of those other classes will be able to answer us. Now all together just as we used to do last vear. Son—of—a—gun Son—of—a—gu n i—9—2—I It was with this spirit that we started right off on the word go at the beginning of the school year. However, we did not continue long as a class but instead joined the ranks of the S. A. T. C. to become a part of the great American Army. Many of our fellows, urged on by the patriotic spirit of war, joined other branches of the service, a number becoming officers. In other words the class as a body fell into step with the nation, each doing his bit. Bur army life was soon brought to a close and we settled down to the old routine of a college career. Although our class was somewhat depleted to commence with, we did hesitate to organize immediately. Our first class meeting was held on December 31, 1918, when we elected Mr. T. Michels as President. He is one of those regular Armour men ably directing the affairs of his class and also taking part in all the school activities. Mr. L. Scotford was elected Vice-President at the same meeting and F. Hayden and J. Sanger were elected Treasurer and Secretary respectively. Through the efforts of these officers most of the brilliant showing of the class must be attributed. The sophomore basketball team was composed of Michels, Rosendal, Anderson, the Stechlow brothers, and Nudleman. Under the careful guidance of Anderson the team did exceptionally fine playing. They did not exactly defeat all comers but the juniors had to step some to beat them. The organization of a baseball team is now on foot and the material looks mighty good. If you don’t believe it ask “Fred.” The big social event of the year, though, was the Sophomore Dance held in the Black Cat Room at the Kdgewater Beach Hotel. Some “Hop” with nifty programs n’evcrything. The large turn-out all joined in step with the peppy music rendered by one of Robert’s orchestras. To Pfaffiin with the other trusty members of his social committee belongs the credit. uniiiinnHiHMiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwiiiuiniiiiiiiBiiiiiniiiiiiniHiiinMiiiiiiiiuiimiiiiiiiiiiiiHmiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiHiiiniiiiiinKiiiiiuiiiiiinuiiiniiiiiiuiiiiimuiiiiiiiiiiu uiiiiitaiiiiimiiiiimiiiiituiiiiiniiiiiinuimmiiiimii. 71 r.llMUIIIHIWIIlUIIII IIIMIIIIIIWimiUIIIMMmiMIUIimilllMIIIIUMIIIimillHllllimBIHIIIUIIIillUIIMUNimilll(llillllimillllllMIH Kill Class of 1921 1ECHANICAI, EXGIXHERS Barce, S.

M. C. A. showed the members a good time at the annual Freshman handshake. We were the guests of the Hyde Park department, and were treated royally. It was a genuine handshake, and the fellows knew each other like old friends before they left. Everyone en- joyed Dean Monin’s talk, in which he gave us considerable information which has been of value to us. The swimming exhibition and contests were enjoyed, as were the basketball games and the talk by a “Y” man on his experiences overseas. Our class had an experience which was unique in the history of Freshman classes. There never was a class which had the army enter its life as this one had. From authentic reports, the Armour branch of the Students Army Training Corps was the best in the country, and the Freshmen had much to do with its success. Many men came to Armour because of the chance to be in college and in the army at the same time, and so the ranks of the unit were swelled considerably by Fresh- men, who comprised about one-half of the total number. The men were benefited in many ways by their army life, and they had many enjoyable experiences. Among the notable happenings during the regime of the S. A. 'I'. C. were the big dance and Peace Day, which will never be forgotten. On December 19, 1918 the class held its first meeting. Mr. Rensch gave us a start on our political career, acting as chairman until we elected Edwin G. Walker as class president. We then elected Robert P. Burns, vice-president; Jeff Corydon, secretary; Henry Y. Herbst, treasurer and Howard S. Faber, sergeant-at-arms. Walker appointed Vickers as athletic representative, and Maguire, K. G. Sedgwick, Carlson, Gray and Vanderbee as members of the social committee. The following yell was suggested and immediately adopted by the class: Show your pep! Watch your step! We’re the class that’s got the rep! I Son—of—a—gun! Son—of—a—who r N i ne teen—twenty—two! The class basketball team was made up of good men, and although they were working under heavy odds, they came out as well as the Sophomores, for which the class bought them numerals. We should have liked to have a chance to clean up the sophs in the yearly rush, but circumstances were such that the rush could not be held, and so we made up for it by our stunts on circus day. The last, best, and biggest thing of the year for the Class was the Freshman Informal. It was a regular old Armour dance, given where regular old Armour dances were always given, at Hotel La Salle. Our class was the first since the close of the war to revive the old custom of giving these affairs at the La Salle and we certainly returned like the prodigal son. The dance was a genuine success, and much credit is due to the social committee as a whole and especially to Chair- man Maguire, whose indefatigable energy made our dance the great success of the year. There was a good floor, good music, good refreshments, and good dancing partners. What more could there be in a dance but these? Even the upper class men condescended to say that it was a real dance. Taking everything into consideration the Class of ’22 had a full year, despite the fact that the S. A. T. C. interfered considerably with the usual order of affairs. imillHIIIIIIMIIIIIIMIIMtlMlllimilllMIIIIMIIMIHWIIIIMIIIimillMlltlimilliMlllimillMIII 77 !i ..............I .1!. 'Ill IU I.I .1 .

I T A R V iiiiuiimniiuiii.uiiiiuumiiimmum Hooking JSacfe KTT, buddie, you’re out of the service now. My but that sounds good; but stop a moment and look back. Think of the days that you spent in the service and of the friends that you made while you were there, and you will agree with me that you have had an experience that you value highly; don’t you wish that you could go back there again? I am sure you remember the chronic army grouch because we all had it. Kick at everything, mess, drill, fatigue duty, company commander, and above all the first sergeant. How we did blame the Old Top for all of the wrongs that befell us. He certainly was the buffer between the enlisted man and the officer and received the censure of both. You will surely remember the chance meeting with some other soldier when you had a fag and were out of matches and how the conversation drifted in a dis- cussion of this camp or that and you finally agreed that Sheridan was a whole lot better than Monroe because they did set out such a fine mess. The question of eats was just as much the soldier’s topic of conversation as the weather is among the “civies” and the quality of each cantonment was finally boiled down to a question of which one had the best mess outfit. Do you remember the night that you slipped one over on the sergeant, after inspection? How quietly you folded up your bunk and stowed it away under the man next to you and by carefully avoiding the guard you “kept that date.” And you remember the funny “bird” who played the “uke” and you used to get together after supper and sing. Those were the times when you thought of home and perhaps afterward you would go to your bunk and drag out the old battle-scarred suit case and write a long letter home. Then came that first fur- lough. Home in the uniform and nothing to do but enjoy yourself. When you have been away for awhile you really appreciate what home is. You will never forget those hikes and most distinct of all in my memory is the one when we started out with heavy packs and marched seventeen miles in the rain. Were we down-hearted? I’ll say we were. There may have been worse mud in Flanders, but we would have sworn that America grows the peskiest bur- docks and brambles in the world and the mosquitoes that arose after the rain, were as big as bumble-bees. The days we spent on the range too; those were the happy days; shoot, shoot, shoot, nothing to do but shoot, and at every bump the shoulder got sore and then some. How you flinched when you fired from the prone posi- tion and the first two went in the dirt, about ten feet ahead of you. Its great sport if you can use your imagination to change the targets into Hienies. And did you contract that popular disease, known as the “flu?” Sitting around a cot in the hospital recuperating on “poker” and “black jack” with matches selling for a nickel a throw, to the tune of “That’s Where My Money (Joes.” Days on guard, days on the march, Sunday spent in camp because of a dirty bunk, good days, and bad days we will never forget them. It's a great life if you don't weaken. iiiiimiiiiHmiiiMiiiiinininniiiiiniiiiiuniiiiiMiiiii mmmiimnmmmmiiamiiiiumiinmimimiiiiiimiiu. •rairiiiii: M .him; iuii iiiiii Ml N M M M M M M Ml .am.

I T A R V e ;§ . C. at HJtmour HE object of the S. A. T. C., which was instituted at all of the lead- ing colleges in the United States on October i, 1918, was to give students intensive military and mental training in order to produce mate- rial for future officers. A certain percentage of students was sent to officers training camps from the different colleges each month. Here they were placed in officers schools for eight weeks and received their commissions after successfully passing the course. On October 1, 1918, the students were assembled in front of the dag pole in Ogden Field. An opening speech was offered by Doctor Gunsaulus after which the oath of induction was administered to the men by Capt. Kannally. The Ft. Sheridan men, who were immediately made sergeants, were first assigned to the various houses, on Michigan Ave., which were to be used for barracks, to take charge of the rookies as they came in. The men were assigned to the different houses by the Captain, and here they were given their bunks and placed in the different squad rooms by the sergeants. After all of the men were placed they were marched to the drill held in two companies and here each company was divided into squads with temporarily picked corporals. The companies were then given squad drill until enough material for permanent corporals was obtained. The companies were then divided into half companies, and each half was drilled by the officers. Each sergeant was given the chance to drill the men for a short time each day. After the companies were able to execute commands properly, men from the ranks were allowed to act as instructors and from the best of these a number of new sergeants were chosen. Each company was now divided into four platoons and each platoon placed under full charge of a sergeant. The remaining sergeants were assigned to the different platoons to act as guides. The men were given physical drill for a half hour each morning after mess and then close order drill for another half hour. They were then marched to school and dis- missed. At noon they were marched to the mess hall and after this they had the liberty of the post until one o’clock. At 3:40 P. M. the companies were formed in front of the school buildings and were marched to the drill field where they were drilled until 5:00 P. M. They were then marched back to the barracks and dismissed until retreat at 5:30 P. M. At 6 o’clock the companies were again formed and marched to the mess hall for supper. After mess the men had the liberty of the post until 95 96 g :i;i: ;:ni.: iinnniiiiiiniiitaMHMHBMiimtiiinuiiiffiiiiiiniiiiiiiuiiiiitiiiiiitiimimiMn iiinoiiiiMnuiiiMiiiHimBMi ■■ ■ ■nuniDmiiiMHiiiuimii umimiii'i mi M 1 L I T A R Y 7:00 P. M. when they were marched to the study hall in the gymnasium. The study period was from 7:00 until 9:00. After 9:00 o’clock they had the liberty of the post until call to quarters at 9:30, after which every man was to be in the barracks. Taps was sounded at 10:00 after which every man was to be in his bunk and the lights out. Week end passes, from after Saturday inspection till Sunday retreat, were given each man every week provided he was not assigned to special duty. Everyone was anxious to don a brand new uniform at once, but they were greatly disappointed because the clothing was not issued until a (week after induction. What a grand sight it was to see the rookies parading up and down the avenue in their new uniforms after they had finally received them. They, themselves, were somewhat disappointed at their appearance when they viewed themselves in the large mirrors. The small men seemed to have gotten the larger sizes and vice versa. After a good deal of trading around among themselves they all finally obtained good fits. This together with a few weeks more training pro- duced a great change in their appearance. After three weeks of de- tention, when they obtained their first week-end passes and had a chance to go down town to do some shopping, it was no easy matter to distinguish them from officers, when they came strolling back to the barracks after that first week-end out, with their brand new serges, wrap putts and Stetsons. Overcoats were issued before the cold weather set in and woolen O. D.’s would have been issued a short time later had it not been for the signing of the armistice. A new, warm and well-lighted mess hall was built on the north end of Ogden Field. The first meals served there were splendid. They were so good that every time we sat down to mess we forgot that we were in the army. During the first month pie was served at each meal every day, but after that tripe began to take its place. Just picture yourself eating fried herring on Friday mornings. The Thanksgiving supper is one meal which no one who was present will forget. The mess was fit for a King. Imagine the results of trying to do justice to a meal like this after having eaten a turkey dinner at home that noon. On armistice day everyone received a pass until retreat. A few minutes after the announcement of passes was made there was not a soul in sight. They had all flocked out to the avenue and had beaten a hasty retreat down town on the first machines that came along. Here every- one had a time of their life, and one which they will never forget. After the armistice was signed army life became monotonous. There was never a happier bunch of men as when on December 9th they issued forth from headquarters with their discharges and cold cash. lyaUtMUMmMMIMHUHniflVIHIIMnMMMMMMMMIIMMIMmflniUniNIIMIHIMMPinXMflin 97 MiraiiiiMiiimiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiwiiiiuiiiiiMiiiiiNiiiiHiiiiiimiiiiwiiimiiiiiuiiiiMiiiiMiiiiwM giMiiiraiiiimiiiiiMuiiiMiiiiMiiiiuniiiiHniiiiimiiiiiniiiiiaiiiiiMiuiimiirii!iiiii!Hiiiii!M M I 1.1T A R Y . itlen tn J abal draining {Unit PETTY OFFICERS Wii.bor, John B.

I T A R Y Qt )t J abal raintng Unit ON October tenth the men in the Naval-Training Unit went into barracks under orders of Captain Kannally. The house used for barracks had form- erly belonged to the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Everything had been removed, from furniture to curtain shades, and the “gobs” invaded it with a racket and noise that soon let the neighbors know that something was happening. Everyone was kept busy that day, fixing up his bunk (hammock, nautically speaking), mopping “decks,” and running to the corner “store room” (that, is the drug store) to telephone the folks or otherwise. When the time for “chow” came around, everyone was present (queer!). But who didn’t relish that first meal after getting up at 5:45 A. M.? The ability to roll out at this time of the morning and not be late, was hard to acquire and some never did acquire it. After morning “chow,” one hour of drill was indulged in. Then back to school until noon. After the noon “chow,” school again, and at 3:40 P. M. the whistle blew for afternoon drill. Immediately after drill there was Call to Colors” and then back to the good old “ship” to rest up before “chow.” When this meal was over the men were at leisure until 7:00 o’clock when study call was sounded and they marched over to school. This lasted till 9:00 o’clock, when liberty of the “post” was granted until ten. “Taps” sounded at ten, and everyone had “rolled in.” However, the men had nothing to show that they were in the navy until their uniforms came, about two weeks later. From then on they were “gobs.” What a pile of wearing apparel there was! Everything from the “flat-top” to the jack-knife. Every drawer and cupboard on the “ship” was utilized for putting away the extra new belongings such as “liberty blues,” two suits of whites, socks, handkerchiefs, flat-top, sweater, watch-cap and what not. It was a “salty” crew that appeared the next morning at reveille, and a “saltier” bunch that went on liberty the following week-end. Everyone now “rated” a ride in an automobile to the loop. When they came back on Sunday evening everyone was more contented and all had stories to tell about what they had “rated” over liberty. During the week they drilled without leggings, but the officers concluded that the drill was poor because of the wide trousers. So they were ordered to wear leggings the fol- lowing morning. Goodbye solid comfort! It improved the drill, however. On October 12th, just before going on liberty, the men received their first inoculation (shot). Two more were given, one the week after, and the other the week following the second. They not only had their medicinal benefits but they also served as an excuse for the well worn salute. Things continued in the same routine until “peace day” came, November 1 ith, the day that shall never be forgotten. Both the S. A. T. C. and the Naval- Training Unit were given liberty from 9:00 A. M. until 5:00 P. M. Naturally everyone went to the loop to join in the merrymaking. About two weeks later a letter came from the Great Lakes Station, stating that those who desired a re- lease from active duty should mail a request to the Navy Department. Everyone got busy, and on December 20th, one month later, the “gobs” said good-bye to the old “ship” and “shoved off” for civilian life. Wasn’t it a grand and glorious feeling? The majority of the men went back to continue their courses but they will never forget the days spent on the good old ship “A. I. 'I'.” inBiiiiiBiiiiifaiiiiiHiiiiiaiiiiiwiiiiniiiiiuiiiiiMiiiiiMHiiiimiiiinutiiiwiiiwitiiiaiiiiiMiiiiiiittiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiuiiiiiiMiiiiiaitiiiniiiiiiHiiiiiiiniiiiHiiiiiMiiiiirniiiiiKiiiiiiiuiiinniHiiMiiiimiiiiiiiii 100 nilllWIIIIIUIIIIIIIMIIIIIWIIIIIIMIIIIIMIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIWIIIimillllUllllllltllllllllllllMllllimillllUlllllUilllllMllllllllimUMIIIHWIIIIIMIIIIW iiii:iimii !iiiiii.min.

The mighty sloop rode calmy at its permanent anchorage. It was the last night of its use as a vessel of the U. S. Navy. On the morrow its entire crew of 54 hard-boiled “jack-tars” were to pass into the hum-drum realms of civilian life, and the ship itself would become just a prosaic brown stone house. Mystery pervaded the atmosphere. The old guard, being relieved, wended his way back to his “hammock” for his last night’s rest on the ship. The new guard, reeking with mysteriousness, softly made his way to various bunks. He awoke the slumbering occupants thereof with a hissed “Hit the deck, get on your pants, sweater, and watch cap, and go to the aft cabin on the main deck to await orders.” The awakened seaman would follow instructions, and some even carried pieces of rope or gunnysack. By the time five bells had struck there was a fierce looking band of desperadoes awaiting orders in the aft cabin of the main deck. The leader then arose and handed a black mask to every man. He then said, “Well, mates, you know what we are gathered here for. We must purge our petty officers of their sins before they get back to civilian life. To do this we will put them under the cold shower and give them a good rub-down with a ki-vi brush. If you are all with me, we will divide up and start the dirty work.” I Everything was in readiness for this horrible mutiny. There was an awful uncanny feeling in the air. Hark! What was that? Who piped up? “What if this fails, and all you birds, instead of going home tomorrow, go to the brig tor six months on bread and water, under the care of the terrible Pete Johnson?” Whereupon the unexpected happened. The thoughts of this horrible punishment and dreams of home, mother, and sweethearts dear cams to these revengeful “gobs” and tears unbidding flowed. Their resolutions for revenge were gradually fading away, and the thoughts of what might be the consequence gave them all a clear case of cold feet. However, with many misgivings and little enthusiasm, the expedition “shoved off” for the petty officer’s cabin. When they arrived there, only two of the gobs were brave enough to go into the cabin, wherein the five dauntless petty officers were slumbering peacefully and were probably dreaming of what they would do when they were out of “this man’s navy.” One of them happened to awake, and with his voice choking with terror, faintly whispered, “Guard, turn on the lights.” This awoke the other men and two of them leaped from their bunks and huddled over in a corner to await the action of the equally scared mutineers, while another buried his head under the blankets. (One of the mutineers, after the fracas was over, even claimed that he heard this man praying in a tremulous voice.) The last man fought and fought hard. He was hopelessly outnumbered and was dragged from his quarters through the companionway to the aft cabin of the main deck. 102 miiiiiitwiiii 5iiwiiliuiiiiiuiiiiluaiiiiwiiiiii(iiiiiiuiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiniiiiii;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiii iiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiniiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiM imiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiii iliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuuiiiiimiiiiiwiiiiiimiiiiiiniiiiimiiiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiii!iiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii«iiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiniiiiiii!iiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiit M I I. 1 T A R Y By this time the gradually cooling pedal extremities of the other “jacks” had dropped about 200 or 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and instead of “carrying on” they followed the captured petty officer and his captors to the aft cabin of the main deck. In the meanwhile one of the petty officers made his way to the door and nervously locked it. Soon the whole ship’s company was awake and about three-quarters of the once bold mutineers sneaked back to the safety of their bunks. The other quarter did not wish to carry On the job with so few men, so the mutiny ended a dismal failure and the fearless petty officers regained their dignity and thanked the stars for their delivery. Thus the affair which had been planned with minute care went up in smoke and the bold pirates and the commanding crew retreated to their bunks. They thanked heaven that the night was over and that they would soon be back again with nothing before them but a little school work, etc. In after years, no doubt, some of these brave, bold mutineers with their grandchildren on their knees will tell of their courage on their last night on the good ship “A. I. T.” and what they would have done if the war had only “lasted” longer.

M I I. I T A R Y fje Hetters of a ©rp Hanb bailor Dear John: November io, 1918. That little shrimp army loot was drilling our platoon today and he was sure laying the drill on good and thick. 1 wish I would be shipped to Hong Kong, Timbuctoo, or any old place. We sure have our hands full with these want-to-be hard-boiled petty officers and these misfit S. A. T. C. sergeants. It’s a good thing the profs know what we are up against and treat us like humans. Then after the beastly drill we marched over to the mess hall and guess what we got? TRIPE! That makes twice in one week. From the meat they feed us here I am beginning to think that all there is to a cow is liver, kidneys, hearts, lungs, brains, and TRIPE. We can stand the other stuff once in a blue moon, but there is no soap at all with tripe. As long as they have bread and water we can live, I suppose. This is some life. If we don’t ship out of here “muy pronto” as the old hot tamale Mexicans would say, I hope that Kaiser Hill cashes in and calls it quits. This false report about peace sort of stirred things up about town, eh? Well it’s about time for that bugler of ours to sound off taps. I will write soon again. BILL. Dear John: November 11, 1918. I guess you must have been pretty excited at this real peace stuff. We had a wild day out here. This morning after drill we were all up in the “Y” and everyone was about as sore as a cub bear with a persistent flea behind its ear. We all wanted to get down town and see the big doings. The only way to do this was to jump ship, and none of us were game enough to do that. We all had pet raspberries, when about nine o’clock we were ordered to fall in. We marched to headquarters anil were told that we had liberty until retreat at five o’clock that afternoon. Maybe you think we didn’t feel pretty spiffy then? My bunkies and I hit the high spots to the city, and we sure cut a mean figure when we got there. We were about the only “jack tars” in the loop and we were lionized something ferocious by the wild women. Well, we pushed and shoved along Boul. Mich, all day and got back to stand at attention while the buglers tried to see how close they could come to playing “Retreat” and “Call to Colors” without a discord. Those buglers come close to doing that very trick about once a week, and the rest of the time not even the man who wrote those calls could recognize them. We have to study as usual tonight. Some of the fellows are going to jump ship and go down to the loop, but I guess I needs must have a “shuteye” tonight as that gallavanting around has made me as tired as a fiddler’s cur. I got your note today. Remember me to the old bunch and tell them I guess I will be with them soon again. d ill then, so long. HILL. Dear John: November 12, 1918. Maybe you think this bird ain’t tired but, by golly, I never was so dished as I am today. Remember yesterday 1 wrote you that I was not going out last night? Well, last night after the petty officer in charge of quarters had made his rounds, two of my bunkmates jumped out and dressed. After much persuasion they finally got the other three fellows in my room to go out with them. 104 iiiiimuiiumuiHniiiiuBuiiiMiinimiiiiBunmiiiii mm nm mu .mi. .mu niMMttn IIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIMIII riiMHiiiiHniiiitHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiuiiiiiiimiiiiiiBiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiitiiuiiiiiaiitiiwiiiiiiiMiiiiMiiiiiiBiiiiiiMiiiiiuuiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiuniiimiiiiiiaiiiiimiiiiiuiiiiiuniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiitMiiiiiiciiiii M I L I T A R V One of them had an automobile and we all jumped in and went down to the loop. Five other men from various rooms were in the party, making a total of ten gobs. We hit all the gay spots on the south side and in our travels we picked up an intoxicated sailor who was on the street. He was from Camp Perry at Great Lakes and he sure had a mean line of talk. We left him off at the Northwestern depot down town and at two-fifty A. M. we all went in to Childs’ for some wheat cakes. As we knew the guard who was on watch from two to four A. M., we hustled back to the old ship and got under the covers with all our clothes on at 3=45 A. M. In what seemed like ten minutes that bloomin’ bugler blew first call, but we did not get up until reveille blew. Of all the sick looking bunches of recruits, that Naval bunch sure took the prize that morning. Everybody that had been out the night before was as “droopy” as could be. However, we managed to drag through the drill and put in three hours of sleep till noon chow. After noon chow I met one of the petty officers. He asked me whether I had jumped ship the night before as I had my name on the Captain’s desk and that I was slated to serve a term in the brig. 1 laughed at first, but then it seemed true, because, how would this P. O. know we went off ship when all the fellows were sworn to secrecy? The rest will have to go if I do, so that is some consolation. My only hope is that this P. O. is kid- ding me; because that brig is an awful place. They got a fellow in charge up there by the name of Pete Johnson, and he is a real tough bird. I feel pretty blue. I didn’t want to go on that trip last night in the first place, but I’ll have to take the consequences now and those other birds are in the same boat as I am. I was going to talk to the captain about it but one of the P. O.’s told me not to as maybe they will forget about it. Everybody is so awful sympathetic around the barracks. It’s just before taps now and one of the P. O.’s came in to tell me to have all my stuff packed in my seabag in the morning so as to be ready to go to headquarters with him. I guess they mean real business. Looks like I will be sent to the Lakes for a summary court-martial. Not much sleep for this bird tonight. My next letter will probably be from the brig. Keep this under your belt, John, because if I go up there I’ll pretend as though I was sent up to some school at the Lakes, sabe? Mum’s the word. BILL. Dear John: November 13, 1918. That whole thing was a put-up job. Can you beat that? One of the guys that was out with us that peace night told one of the P. O.’s, and he framed the whole works. Just as I was packing my seabag this A. M. he came in and started to snicker. I says, “What’s the big joke?” He said 1 was, and then pulled this stuff about the big frame-up. Believe me, John, even if it was a joke, I sure felt relieved. At ease at last. BILL. P. S. We filed requests for release from active duty today, so I guess in about a month or so I will be out painting the town again. iiiramimiiiiiimiMiniiMiiMiiiimiiiiMHiiiMiiimiiiiiniiiiMiiMiimiiiiMiiiMniiMiiiiwiiii 105 iMiiiHMiiiiiMiiHBUiiiiniiiiwiMmiiiiwimmiiiiniiiiimiiiiMimimiiiiwiiiimiiiiuiiiiiuiiiiMiiiiim M I 1.1 T A R Y A PAGE; OR • TWO • FROM ■ H IS TORY 106 Ve REMIS Anderson Joslyn Erickson R.

I T A R V A fHorb of Appreciation A T¥. have often wondered if the men who were in the Armour Institute Students’ Army Training Corps and the Naval Training Unit ever stopped to realize what a task it was to start this movement and bring it to a successful finish. When school began in September, did we know anything about the S. A. T. C.r Did we know where we were going to sleep and eat, or how our daily schedule was to be arranged? It was the members of the Executive Council of the Institute who did the work. What a task it must have been for the Comptroller, Mr. F. U. Smith, to arrange for the housing of some four hundred and fifty men, and see that the Mess Hall was ready when the men in the Training Corps came for their first meal. Although the worries of Mr. Smith must have been many, he always greeted us with a smile whenever we met him. The schedule of the subjects to be taken by the men was alto- gether different than we had before. We had a hazy idea of what these subjects were to be but no one knew definitely, not even the Deans. We can readily see that it was no small undertaking to attempt to make a schedule of classes and studies that would fulfill the Government’s requirements and at the same time be convenient with conditions in and around school. When October the first came, the men were inducted, and Dean Raymond was there, bright and early, ready to enroll the men in their classes. Classes started the next day, and as time went on we began to realize more and more, what a relief it was to come into Dean Monin’s class in War Issues, where we could put aside all troubles and worries and listen to him tell of the issues that led up to the war; better still, some of the exceedingly interesting facts of dip- lomatic warfare and what a big part it played. It was a subject new to everyone. In fact, so new that the subject of its founda- tion was still “boiling over” from the heat of war. All of the material that Dean Monin used he was forced to obtain from current publications, which was no easy task, to say the least. We must not forget the Registrar, Mr. Allison, to whom credit is due for the part he played in helping to make everything a success. It is to these men that we, the S. A. T. C. and the Naval Training Unit combined, wish to extend our thanks and apprecia- tion for the work they so successfully accomplished and without whose help the movement at Armour would have been a dismal failure. cMIIIIIMtll IIIIMIIIII 10$ mi mmhhmh unii wmmmm m m m mm nnm w Illli 'Ulli MIIIIIIHIIIIIIUilllllUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIIIIIllllllllllillllllMIIIIIIttllllllHIIIIIIUIIIIIHUIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIMflflHIIINIIIIIIimillllllUIIIIIHIIIIIfUIIIIIIttllllllCilllllllllllllCllIIIIIIIIIIIIIICIII llllt !IIIIIIUIIIIIIUIIIIIIllllllll lllll I llllll llll till llllItHniUJIJIIIIFilllllll HIIIIIMlIlllt1 IIIIIM lllllinil IIMIf III IMHIIIJI III M I 1.

It was my good fortune to serve with but one organization, the First Regiment of I'. S. Engi- neers, during my entire service in France. Before outlining my experiences in France, 1 will outline as nearly as I can the process of training which we went through before receiving assignment to troops in the field. For a period after the sinking of the Lusitania it seemed that our country would eventually be drawn into the war. In February and March, 1917, it was the general opinion that war with Germany was inevitable. Having studied some literature regarding the Officers’ Reserve Corps, I made application on March 1, 1917, for a Commission as a First Lieutenant of Engineers in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Shortly after the war was declared on April 6, 1917, I was notified to appear for examination and subsequently ordered to Fort Sheridan, Illinois, on May 8, 1917, to receive training. The training at Ft. Sheridan consisted of the rudiments of infantry drill, sig- nalling, minor tactics, study of army regulations, etc. The training here was severe. The candidates were drilled almost constantly during the day time and had to study until late at night. However, the course was conducted by able Regular Army officers and progressed rapidly. At the end of about four weeks of such training we were sent to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, to receive our engineering training. The training at Ft. Leavenworth consisted of the practices of pioneer troops in the field; namely, pontoon bridge construction, field fortifications and organiza- tion of the ground, reconnaissance and topographical sketching, musketry, tactical problems in the field and further study of Army Regulations, Courts Martial, Engineer Field Manual, etc. The course of instruction lasted until August 15, 1917, when the officers were given their assignments. About fifty to sixty percent of the candidates who started with the two engineer companies at Ft. Sheridan received assignments at the completion of the camp at Ft. Leavenworth. I received commission as First Lieutenant of Engineers in the Officers’ Reserve Corps on June 19, 1917; was placed on active duty July 10, 1917; assigned to the 31 ith Engineers, National Army which was to be formed at Camp Grant, Rock- ford, Illinois. The assignments were given out August 15, 1917, at the close of the camp and we were given about ten days furlough before we were required to report at Camp Grant. When we arrived at Camp Grant the skeleton organization was made up as far as officers were concerned for the new regiment. No troops were to arrive for a few weeks. I remained at Camp Grant two days when another officer, and myself received orders to report to the commanding officer at the port of embarkation Hoboken, New Jersey, for extensive duty overseas. On August 8, 1917, I received orders to sail. We sailed on the U. S. Mail Steamer St. Paul to Liverpool and went across country to South Hampton, England, where we took a channel steamer to La Havre. Upon arrival at La Havre we were sent to a British rest camp and received our assignments to various schools in France. About forty officers were chosen to attend the Engineer School of the French Military Academy of St. Cyr and Versailles (Ecole Militaire du Genie). At this school we received instruction in the various branches of the service, namely, organization of the ground for de- fense, trench warfare, gas warfare, artillery, and extensive study in field fortifica- tions. The courses were conducted by English speaking French officers of whose extensive experience in the field we had the benefit.

I T A R V Upon the completion of the course at the French Academy we were taken on an extensive tour of the French front. The tour covered ground from the Somme battlefield to the Chemin des Dames. During the trip we learned how trench warfare was conducted and tactical examples of the battles which took place on the ground were explained, and later we realized how much we had benefited therefrom, and we learned to know our French comrades in arms. After returning to the school we received orders to proceed to Rouen, France, to attend a two weeks course in pioneer engineer work at the British Royal Engi- neers’ School at that place, after which we returned to Versailles and received assignments to Regular Army troops. On December i, 1917, I reported to the Headquarters of the First Regiment of Engineers and was assigned to duty with Company “F” of that organization. At that time the strength of the organization was 168 men per company and we received additional men shortly after to bring the strength to 250 men per company. By January 15, 1918, the replacements had all arrived and we were on our way to the front for the first time as a fighting organization. The First Division went from the Gondrecourt area to the 'Foul sector where they were brigaded with the French to receive their first instruction in actual trench warfare. When we first went to the 'Foul sector it was known as a rest sector and was used by the French to rest troops who had been through severe fighting and it was very quiet. However, it did not take long for hatred among the American troops to become aroused after seeing the devastation which four years had brought in this area and soon the front became a comparatively active one. While we were at the 'Foul sector the Germans commenced their famous “Channel Port” drive on March 21 and drove in the Montdidier salient, and it looked as it they would reach their objective. The First Division at this time had received a fair amount of instruction in actual trench warfare and likewise four other divisions of the American Expedi- tionary Forces had received similar instruction. On March 28, General Pershing placed at the disposal of Marshal Foch all ot our forces to be used as he might decide. At his request the First Division was transferred from the 'Foul sector to a position in reserve at Chaumont en Vexin near the place where the Fifth British Army joined the French army. As German superiority in numbers required prompt action, since the junction between the British and French armies had been broken, the American First Division had gone into the gap at Montdidier salient on the Picardy battlefront on April 26, 1918. Tactics had been suddenly revolu- tionized to those of open warfare, and our men, confident of the results of their training, managed to hold the Germans close to Montdidier from which point they advanced no further. The First Division consisted entirely of Regular Army Organizations; namely, the Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-sixth and Twenty-eighth Infantry Regiments; the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Field Artillery Regiments, two machine gun battal- ions, and the First Regiment of Engineers. All of these regiments had men who had campaigned since the days of the Philippines and were in excellent condition for what was before them in view of the recent training they had had. On the morning of May 28 this division attacked the commanding German position at the nose of the Montdidier salient, taking with splendid dash the town of Cantigny and all other objectives, which were organized and held steadfastly against vicious counter-attacks and galling artillery fire. Although local, this action had an electrical effect, as it demonstrated the fighting qualities of our men under extreme battle conditions, and also that the enemies’ troops were not altogether invincible. The engineers organized strong-points behind the first line of infantry after the town was taken and the objective was reached, in order to withstand the counter-attacks which followed. The taking of the town was done with comparative ease, but the counter- offensive by the enemy was bitter to withstand. However, the Germans did not pass the strong-points or regain the town after trying every means at their dis- posal to retake it. Shortly after the town was taken I was gassed and did not see imiwiimiuiiimmiiiiKiiiiittWHmiiiiiimiHiKiiiiiioiiimniiiiiiiiiiiiiBHiiiRiimutuiiiiii 121 iiiiiuiiiiiiniiiiiniiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiit(iiiiiiRiiiiii iiiimniiimiiiiintiiiimiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiinniiiiimiiiiininiiiiHiiiiMiiiiiiniiiiitiiiiiiMiiiMnniiiimiiiiimiiiiHiiiiinniiiiiiiiiiiinniiiinHiiimniiitaiiiiniiiiiiiiiti M I1.ITAR Y the finish of the fight. During this offensive the Second Division was in support at Beauvais, but their co-operation was not needed. The great force of the German Chateau Thierry offensive established the deep M arne salient, but the enemy was taking chances and the vulnerability of this pocket to attack might be turned to his disadvantage. General Pershing seized this opportunity to support his conviction and every division with any sort of training was made available for use in a counter offensive. The place of honor in a thrust towards Soissons on July 18 was given to the First and Second Divisions, the two veteran American Divisions, in company with chosen French divisions. Without the usual brief warning of a preliminary bombardment, the massed French anil American artillery laid down its rolling barrage at dawn, firing by the map while the infantry began its charge. The tactical handling of our troops by General lMangin, of whose Tenth Army we were a part, was excellent throughout the action. The enemy brought up large numbers of reserves and made stubborn defense both with machine guns and artillery, but through five days fighting the First Division continued to advance until it had gained the heights above Soissons and captured the village of Berzy-le-sec. The Second Division took Beau Repaire farm and Vierzy in a very rapid advance and reached a position in front of Tigny at the end of its second day. These two divisions captured seven thousand pris- oners and several hundred pieces of artillery, not to mention heavy casualties inflicted upon the enemy. The First and Second Divisions each lost between seven and eight thousand casualties, mostly slightly wounded and very few prisoners; the First Division in five days fighting and the Second Division in two days. French and American divisions took alternate positions along the Chateau Thierry salient from Soissons to Rheims. On the right of the First Division, between the First and Second Divisions was a French Algierian and Moroccan Division. They took no prisoners; however, they kept up with the rest of us. On retiring from the Second Battle of the Marne we went to a sector near Pont-a-Mousson which was near the Toul sector which we had first visited. The ground at this place was comparatively familiar to the men. While here we received replacements and a good rest as the sector was very quiet. Preparations were then in order for the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, when I received orders to return to the United States. Upon my return to the United States I spent a short time at Camp Humphreys, Va., and was ordered to the Chief of Engineer’s office in Washington for duty as Liaison Officer from the training section to the General Staff' at the Army War College. On December 9, 1918, I received my discharge from the service after a year’s service overseas, having been in the military service since May 8, 1917. Part of the record of the First Division is taken from General Pershing’s nar- rative report to the Secretary of War. Chester F. Wright, Captain of Engineers, U. S'. ., 1st RegL U. S.

Why? Each had a big box, and little “Diz” had the biggest one, containing some sort of a level, alidade, or transit. Hut all did not have berths. The freshmen that had them however, heard the next morning that the strangers they found in bed with them were just some other Armour men who crawled in at about two p. x. from the smoker. After changing from the St. Paul to Charley Carman’s “logger’s special,” we reached Camp Armour station, Trout Lake, Wisconsin. We spent Sunday in making camp and seeing the country. Prof. Phillips came Monday and the main object of our long trip was commenced; surveying work. Prof. Penn started us on leveling, the men in each tent comprising a working party. We also laid out some new polygons adjacent to last year’s, by transit and stadia. Plane table and military sketch board work gave us some very practical experience. Well! I nearly forgot to mention those rival railroad companies that staked out their lines. It has been rumored that the S. H. A. M. Railroad finally won out. But that is probably because they were stockholders in the Yaphank Limited, the derelict hand car that made many a loaded trip to Boulder Junction, the home of the fair Pauquet girls. Had it not been for Peri Grammas I fear we would all know much less about nature. Yes, ’twas he who single handed caught that skunk, but to quote Peri: “It was such a pretty animal.” However, he was the only man in camp to catch any amount of fish, even if he did spear one with a fork stolen from “Doc” the cook. Pa took the big launch out earlier than usual last year and many a pleasant ride we had down to the lower lake. Speaking of the lower lake some six miles away, the lack of a launch to ride in never stopped the boys, that is Fred, Ande ami Brons. Whenever they shaved or combed their wild tresses we knew that they were bound for Camp Franklin or Whitbred’s to row the fair sex around on the moonlit waters. Fourth of July about eight of the boys chartered a motor truck car and rode twenty miles in the rain to Minocqua. The town was infested with Indians from the reservations and we saw them as the peaceful, firewaterless redskins of today, usually dressed in “civvies.” In the evening we went to the lumberjacks ball at Woodruff. The next day we accepted Prof. Wilcox’s invitation to visit him at Camp Sprague for boys. With Profs. Leigh and Wilcox we formed an Armour ball team and played the camp’s prize team, the “Chow-Guzzlers”. After a delicious pick- erel dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Leigh we started on our homeward journey. Well, we walked twenty-seven miles that night and finally reached Camp Armour at five in the morning just as Doc was starting breakfast. iiiumiiniiiimiiiuniiiiiKiiiiimiimuiiiiimttmuiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiMiiiiwiniMMiMiiiimiiiMiiiiwmimiiiMiiiim 124 iiiniiiiiiMiiiiwiiiimiiiiiiatiiiiiHuiiimiiiiNiiiiiiiMiiiiwiiiHmiiHMHiiMuiiiinuiminiiiiMiiiiiwiiimiii 125 S I M M !•: R C A M P iiiiiiniiiiHiiiiiiHiiiiniiiiiniiiiiniiiimiiiiuiiiiiiaiiiiiniiiimiiiiuniiiwiiiiRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiuiiinniiiimiimiiiiiitiiiiiniiiiiBiiiiiRiiiiiiHiiiiui Things ran quiet after that, except of course Squires at meals, but considering all the pancakes and pickles he speedily ate, he worked well. Of course there was the episode of the firecrackers and those dumped cots. And who stole the bell rail so that Pete overslept? A day or so before camp broke, Prof. Penn and four of the boys left for Ft. Sheridan. Then we realized what an interesting, yet seemingly short time we had spent and all vowed that some day we would return to dear old Trout Lake.

K T I C S Bfaterclas® Baseball I) by Captain Bready, the sophomore team, Class of 1920, again showed their superior ability in athletics by annexing the interclass baseball cham- pionship of 1918. With a well balanced infield and a hard-hitting outfield, Ira Bready and his battervmate, Illg, were seldom in trouble. The team participated in only one round of three games, but these proved sufficient for the team work diplayed was excellent. The freshmen were the first victims of the sophomores, by a 7 to 3 score. Bready was on the mound for the winners and surely subdued the “frosh” sluggers. With the aid of good fielding by Erickson and Sevferlich who made some excellent catches he had little trouble. On the offense, Lyons and Bready proved to be the leading hitters of the day. The second game was a one-sided affair, which ended in a 21 to 1 victory for the sophomores. This time the seniors were on the short end. Bready and Sey- ferlich divided the pitching honors for the day, allowing the seniors but one hit, which came in the last inning of the game. The sophomore batting order was busy as is readily apparent from the result. Every man in the line-up succeeded in getting at least two hits, and some, more than two. Long distance clouts by Malpede, Gottlieb, Illg, and Lyons were among the features of the game, while Sevic performed some excellent fielding stunts at shortstop. The sophomore-junior game was the closest game of the series, but the game ended in a 4 to 2 victory for the sophomores. The juniors presented a strong line-up which included Anderson, Maitre, Melichar, Wilson, Mendius and others. As usual Bready was in excellent form, and so it was merely a matter of time for a sophomore victory to present itself. Ira also led the attack by his hitting at opportune moments. This victory made the sophomores the undisputed cham- pions of the school. The prospects for a banner year in baseball are bright, for Sevferlich’s Juniors are out to repeat, while Anderson’s Senior team is out for revenge. The freshmen and sophomores also have formidable nines, which means that the winning team will have to demonstrate its ability at a fast pace. The seniors with their famous Maitre-Melichar-Wilson combination led by Capt. Anderson, will put up a stiff argument for this year’s title. However, according to Capt. Sevferlich, the Juniors have little to worry about, for besides having practically all the men who played last year, the line-up will be strengthened by the addition of Scharf, Karlson, Muelleman and others. The championship team of 1918 was as follows: Illg, Catcher; Bready (Capt.), Pitcher; Malpede, 1st Base; Gottlieb, 2nd Base; Sevic, Shortstop; Sevferlich, 3rd Base; Erickson, Left Field; Lyons, Center Field; Havlick, Mallwitz, Cook, Peter- son and Chapin, Right Field and utility men. wiinnuuuiuiiinuiii Minim UllimilllHUMIXUlllH ■■■MnMMMNI .................. niiiiimimimiiHMMBNMM win;.mm • i: n: miiiK'imiir iiiimnMM..

At the opening of the Physical Culture Department subsequent to the reorganization of school classes, the interclass basketball teams were care- fully formed with a view of competing for the local championship for this year. A schedule was duly arranged and the tournament was started in our own gymnasium. The players of the respective teams in the various classes proved their mettle when good fellowship and un- tiring spirit were mostly needed in the course of the games. Their jaws were set and the feeling of fair play m all their actions on the gymnasium floor was readily observed, as the players met each other in some of the fiercest fights. The initial game was introduced by the Freshmen and the Seniors in which the Freshmen succeeded in measuring up to the standard of former years, and were led by Kuehn, a well-built fellow constituted both morally and physically to oppose even the hardest man on any team, withstood the offensive of the speedy Seniors. Walker, another Freshman player, also starred for the losers in the game which meant so much to the winning team. The Seniors defeated the Freshmen by a score of 26 to 19, thus ushering the schedule into progress. An excellent fight was also exhibited by other Freshmen; Branigan, Olson, Evans, Eisenstein, Kelner, and Kirkhuft' playing the leading role. d he second game on the schedule was a fast one between the Juniors and Sopho- mores. The cyclonic attitude of the Junior players aided materially in keeping the men on the opposing side in constant fear of losing their stand on the floor and being hurled into the air. Bready, a stubby, ironized fellow, with an eye that appeared to have been fixed on the basket, featured in this game. Bready man- aged to send his shots straight through the basket without even touching the ring, and the speed with which the ball buzzed through the air was enormous. Bready s point-making and basket-shooting ability is hardly measureable, as his agility plus all that makes for good playing are far beyond the reckoning power of the writer. Seyferlich, Captain and guard on the Junior five, is another first-class player and stands like a wall of masonry when guarding his side of the floor. Thus the Sophomores, whose experience in basketball had not been equally extensive, found it difficult to even “guard” the guard from shooting from all angles of the floor. Erickson’s speedy attack upset the Sophomores and nis long shots from the middle and corners of the gymnasium stand out as a strong argument in favor of his play- ing with the school team next year. Erickson is a whirlwind in his ways and under- stands the fine points of the game. The other players on the Junior team need also to be commended for their good work in the series. Karlson and Scharf drove the message home that, as forwards and guard, they could hold their ground and send the ball through the ring in a crisis. Illg and Aiming, who acted as utility men, displayed excellent work when called upon in an emergency. 130 giiimiMiiiiMiiimmiiiiniiiraiiiiiaiiiiiMniii;iiHiiiiauiiiMUiiiiHUiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiimw I A T H I. !•: T ! C S The Sophomores, with Michels as right forward, Xudelman as left forward, R. Strehlow as center, Rosendal as right guard, A. Strehlow as left guard, and with Meilinger and Mananz as substitutes, composed a fearless team of players. R. Strehlow showed himself, in this game, to be a man of considerable experience in basketball and his huge frame rose above the other players about him. His brother, too, has certain inherent qualities which constitute the good player. Of the Seniors, Maitre, Anderson, Wilson, Melichar, and Mendius, stood out eminently among the players in the tournament. Although beaten by a large score in the first round, they fought until the last for the honors which the Insti- tute had offered. In the second game, Mendius and Maitre, their clothes tattered and torn, disregarded themselves and nailed the Juniors to the floor. Many human collisions occurred, indeed, but the battle among the players was carried on from point to point and the game ended by the close score of 15 to 11 in favor of the Juniors. The Senior guards, Melichar and Anderson, as well as center Wilson, featured with long shots while at the same time the Junior guards made it almost impossible for the Senior forwards to get near the basket. The large scores by which the Juniors won their other victories is sufficient evidence of the stiff argument that the “fighting” Senior five put up in order to have the game end with such a close score. d'he coming year will mean a great deal to the colleges throughout the country as far as athletics is concerned, and many changes and improvements will have to be made. Reconstruction work in basketball will assume to alter established precedents in such a way as to organize college teams with men who understand basketball playing and can do more than play basketball. Players will be judged not by the number of shots they may attempt, but by the number of baskets they SHOULD make through careful anti prudent playing. The Armour Institute of Technology will, no doubt, reorganize its college basketball team and again enter the Little Five Conference. Our college has stood foremost among the big basket- ball colleges in the country and, in order to retain our reputation, it will be neces- sary to have a team formed of men who have a broad knowledge of the game. No quality should be lacking, and with a body of fellows who will grit their teeth and fight to the last, our college may safely expect a successful year. But, in order that our coach for the coming year may have a written review of the material most suitable for a college team, the writer desires to briefly discuss the prospects for the future, and, having had an opportunity to gauge basketball ability, a short sketch to that effect may not be amiss at this time. In selecting an All-Star basketball team careful consideration must be given to all departments of the game, and although scoring ability is of primary importance, it is nevertheless set aside for two other essentials always present in good playing: namely, a man’s natural knack for basketball playing, and his ability to pass the ball. It should be noted that there is more to passing a ball than merely getting rid of it. Many players have held to the old-time basketball theory of getting the ball into the air regardless of whether it reaches its proper destination or not. In any game, the passing player should aim in front of his teammate and should pass quickly and accurately. Short passes are preferable, but in emergencies it is necessary to be able to make long and accurate passes. A very formidable team in all branches of the game, and especially in passing and scoring, is available from the material presented. The team would also pre- sent a defense that would be strong enough to meet any opponent. As Captain of our first team I would choose Y. M. Sevferlich (“Si”), who showed keen judgment in his management of the Juniors, and who understands how to handle his men and supervise their activities in a manner that should reflect credit upon the Armour Team. Ira Bready, the peppery Junior forward, was by far the leading forward and point-getter in the series. The “fighting forward’s” all-round playing places him among the select All-Star five. Harold Anderson (“Andy”), would undoubtedly be the selection as co-worker with Bready because “Andy” is both physically fit for the position of forward and iRiimimiiiMiNMiiimiiimiinuiiimniiMNiimiiiiKiwimwtMiiiiiraiiiiiMimmiiiiimiwmimimiinwmiaiiiiiuiiiiuH r :iiiiiiHiiiiiuiiiiiiLii]nii iiiiiiu iMi iniiiiiiuuiiiwaHiii iMiniiMHiirMiiiinuiiiriiiiiiiiiMiiiii4iinii(iiiiiiriiMiitNiinii( iniii;:!iiiiiui]iiiuiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiKiiiiii jiiniKuutiuiiiiiii: iiiiiiriiiniiiaiiiiii:;iiiiii:iiiiiimiiiiiruiiiiiKiiiiniiiiiiii(iuiiiiiiiiiiil(n £«111 iiuiiiiiMiiiiwiiiwniiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiifliiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiHiniHiaiiiiiViiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiaiiiaiiiiuinumimiiiimaiiiiiHimiiiiiMiimniiin ATII LETI CS plays a first-class passing and floor game. Also, with Bready and Andy as for- wards, there would be Karlson and Kuehn, two dependable players who may also serve as forwards. Karlson’s keen eye for basket shooting classes him as one of the best scoring men of the school and with more experience he will be an expert. Kuehn plays a clever game at forward and should no doubt be a star with a bit more ‘‘driving” in basketball and basket shooting. “Big Bill” Erickson, whose long shots have startled the school, and had the effect of dealing a death blow to the Seniors’ chances, as center on the first team, deserves to be commended for his calm and courageous playing. “Erick” was second in the scoring column with 35 goals for a total of 70 points. Bill has a rival in “Big” Strehlow who led the Sophomores’ five at the pivot position. Bill played a splendid defensive as well as offensive position and succeeded in assisting his own guards in their attempt to subdue the enemy’s scoring machine. R. Melichar (Mel) would be the proper man to work with “Si” at guard. His excellent method of “cutting in” at the proper time and his excellent eye for the basket mark him as a guard to be feared. Tom Michels and Elmer Scharf are also first-class guards, but Melichar’s passing and self-management would give him the preference. Scharf played an important part in the Junior victory and with “Si” formed an invincible defense. Michels played an excellent game for the Sophomores and would undoubtedly be the selection for the other guard posi- tion. His speed and untiring efforts as well as his knowledge of the game would give him an advantage over his rivals for the Captaincy of the Second Team. First Team Position Second Team J. I. Bready ....

Throngs of Armourites and their friends filled the Black Cat Room at the Edgewater Beach Hotel on May 10, where they fox-trotted and one- stepped to the best music of the year. Altogether it was a most enjoyable affair and it was with regret that the smallest hour of the day was reached which made it necessary for the merry crowd to disperse. A hearty vote of thanks is due chairman Marks and Messrs. Scheuer, Wilbor, Maitre and Danforth of the Social Committee, and to members of the Junior Class for a most enjoyable evening. M. M. battalion Sinner Same XT EVER in the history of Armour has there been such a large attendance at a dance as presented itself for the Battalion Dinner Dance at the Edgewater I Beach Hotel. It was seven-thirty on the evening of December 7th, when we all marched into the Colonial Room. Ah! What did we see? Yes, you guessed it. fables set in a style quite foreign to the veterans of that hall of disappointments, the Armour S. A. T. C. mess shack. It was not alone the napkins and shining silver and real china that dazzled us; it was also those attractive favors that the committee had provided. Will you ever forget the gleam in Helen’s and Adelaide’s eyes as they saw those Japanese jewel cases and book marks? The dinner, much to everyone’s surprise, was not a true banquet, f rom the cream of celery soup to the black coffee, each course was very gratifying and delectable. Some good men were rumored to have covered off two places in true army fashion. I think it was those Melachrinos that the Buddies were after, however. Did you ever see one pass them up? There was but one speech during the evening, although we had a speakers’ table at which sat all the officers of Capt. Kannally’s staff. Mr. or rather Sergt. Anderson made an announcement for Corp. Cook on behalf of the Cycle. This was the first impetus given to what has now turned out to be Armour’s foremost Cycle. The floor was cleared immediately after the dinner and dancing begun. Was it not a stirring sight to see those proud, stalwart chaps, everyone clad in khaki or blue, as they tripped about to the weird strains of that enticing music? Yes, it was a military dance through and through without the strict discipline. Private Hoozis or Seaman Drvboy exchanged dances with Lieutenant Shorty as if they were all members of the same college class There was no hurrying to get away from this charming conditon as the next day was Sunday and we were all on leave. When the orchestra played the Star Spangled Banner at one o’clock we were certainly proud to have had such an anti-climax to our services under dear “Old Glory,” which was soon to terminate. But let me tell you what made this dance possible. It was the money from the Battalion Fund, which was obtained from the sale of candies, tobacco and other things most essential to a soldier or gob. Indeed much praise is due to the committee, Sergt. Homer E. Anderson, Corp. Fred A. Hertwig, Corp. Albert F. Spitzglass, Seaman Wm. X. Erickson and Private Leo R. Moses for the very capable and interesting way in which they handled the affair, because a dinner dance for 350 people is quite an undertaking. r.i; HiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiMiiiiii imuniiiiuiiiiiui 137 ifeMiiiMiiitNiiiimiiiMiiiKfliiiiMiiiMiiiiMiiiimiiiimtiwHiiiiiNiiiiiwmiwimiffliiimiiiimiiiimHiiimii S O C I A I. Trask Clark Rehfeldt Maitre Keeth Senior Same The social season was surely opened in a most enjoyable manner when the class of ’19 held its annual dance on the evening of February 24. It was quite a sight to see those happy youths tripping gaylv about the Colonial Room of the Kdgewater Reach Hotel, they, who but a few short weeks ago had been subject to the confining discipline of some Lieutenant or perhaps Capt. Kannallv. That some still held fond connections for the military life was evidenced by the number of uniforms present. We were all so happy and enthused over the dance, that when Sergeant “Hop” Rehfeldt issued a G. O. granting us an extension of time ’till one A. M., that most all of us stayed. Armourites and their friends will surely commend the class of 1919 for their splendid dance. For the noble efforts that were put forth and realized much credit is due to Messrs. Rehfeldt, Keeth, Maitre, Clark and Trask who compose the social committee. H. K.

It was on that memorable eve of March Seventh. That “Lucky” Seventh dance of the class of ’20 was acclaimed by all to be the best dance Armour has given in a decade. Why? Weren’t you there? Well then you remember how that orchestra played “Mary” and “Ja Da.” Really to hear them play the latter piece, you know, those Great Lakes composers couldn’t have done it more creditably. 'I'he crowd was a truly Armour gathering, yes, even the girls were, in the majority, old friends that we had seen at many a dance before. This fact and the lack of crowding on the floor surely led to a most congenial and delightful party. When the orchestra played “'Fill We Meet Again,” that “taps” of the dance floor, we were surely loath to leave. Many did adjourn to the Marine Cafe to sip a grape juice ricky or munch some French pastry. With such a reputation built up it will be a hard task for the committee to outdo itself on the Junior Prom, but they promise it, and the Messrs. Anderson, Anning, Hertwig, Hall and Hinckley usually make good. inumtiiuHiiimtim 13V iMiitauiiuuiiiiniiiiuBitiiimiiiimiiiiiitiiiiiaiiiiiMiiiiimiiHaiiHKiHiiiniiiiiMiiiiMiiiimRiiiiMNiiiiaiiiiiiRiiiiitniiimniiimiiiiHitiiimHiiiiM jMiiiiuiiiiiniitiiiniiiiiitiiiiiitJiiiiiiHiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiDiiiiiisiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiHiiiiHiiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiifniiiiiiniiiiirviiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTiiiiiniiiiiimif iiniiMiiimmummimii SOCIAL Spitzglass Peterson Pfaflix Isaacs ls opfjomore ©ante Again the Edgewater Beach Hotel was the scene of an Armour Dance. The Sophomores held their’s in the Black Cat room on Friday evening, March 21. The students were all there and the many interesting strange faces indicated that we had visitors from other schools. The Black Cat with its huge dusky felines and rich blue decorations is always a most interesting setting for a dance, but was especially so with that snappy Roberts’ orchestra and those chummy little tables that we all gathered ’round. The worthy social committee, Messrs. Pfafflin, Peterson, Spitzglass and Isaacs deserve much praise for their splendid efforts. no UllllinillltMlllinMIllinMIlllllHHIIIMIIIiailllinMMIIIIi .mIIIIII 'Illiti ill! iiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiniiiiimiiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiHiiiiiiaiiiiimiiiiiniiiiiiHiiimHiiimniiiiiiiniiiiiiKiiiiiiniiiiimi iiiiiiniiiiiimiiiiiiJiiiiiiuiiiiiiiuiiiiiiuiiiiiiuiuiiMiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiJiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SOCI A I.

But that’s just what they did, when they gave their dance at the La Salle Hotel in the Louis XVI room on Friday evening, April 25. It was really a treat to get back to the La Salle again, especially for the upper classmen who had spent many a happy evening there in years gone by. Roberts’ was again the source of the rhythm for the exponents of the light fantastic. Chairman Maguire and his associates, Messrs. Peterson, Gray, Yan- derbee and Sedgwick deserve much for the way in which they handled the gath- ering and all details. i4i iiiiiiDiiiiiiuiiiiiiBiiiiimiiimniiiiirjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiuiiiiiiiiniiiiintiimniiiimii uiiiiimiiiimmiiHiHiraiiiiiffliiiimiiiiiHiiiiiMiiiiiHiiiiiiniiiiiiHiiiiiiuiiiiraiiiiiMiiiiMiiiiiwiiiiiniiiiimiiiiiinn lee anb jtlanboltn Clubs THK Glee and Mandolin Clubs were late in organizing this year due to war and S. A. T. C. But when the call went out for men in January over 60 men reported. From this number Prof. W. G. Smith had the task of picking a club of 30 men, and it was not easy as every man was very good material; especially with several of last year’s men returned from service. Homer K. Anderson was re-elected manager, Tom W. Hall, assistant manager. Tom Michels was very wisely made leader of the Glee Club and Ted Sedgwick was chosen to lead the Mandolin Club. With this able quartette and Prof. Smith the clubs were soon rounded into the form of what W. G. states is the best musical organization Armour ever produced. Several small concerts were given by the boys in preparation for the big annual affair. Among them were one at Hardin Square, and quite an interesting joint concert at the Normal Park Baptist Church. Even though it was at a church, the jazz band seemed to be a large attraction. But who could resist Sedgwick, Spitzglass and their jazz brothers. A fine supper was served after the affair by the girls of the church. Finally after weeks of constant rehearsing and then more of it, April 4th arrived and with it the Eighteenth Annual Concert. This year “Ande” decided to run it at Central Music Hall as many objected to coming the long distance to Armour. It was a great sight for the men on the stage to look out upon the house which was full, numbering among the box-holders some of the finest people in the city. The alumni and faculty agreed that the concert was absolutely the finest ever given by the students.

The quartette, Prof. Smith, Drvden, Thompson and Berg then rendered some songs of real harmony. It was for the next number the Jazz Band selections that we should have had a dance floor. The girls in the audience looked pitiful as they fought with themselves to stay in their seats. For real music this year’s Mandolin Club has never had an equal at A. I. T. Jones sang “A Bungalow in Quoque” assisted by the club and was followed by Freddie Hertwig who surely set people thinking when he queried from under his silk hat, “How Are You Going to Wet Your Whistle?” Well do we remember Miss Stella Drvden and her oriental chorus which executed in such an eccentric way the Slave Dance. Miss Drvden for her two years of charming assistance, has been made an honorary member of the (dee Club. Strehlow and his quartette certainly made everybody think they were riding in Uncle Zeck’s flivver when they sang about his Ford. The headliner of the evening, though was the act that Michels, Spitzglass and Anderson put on. As the ham actor said, the audience was knocked out of its seats. No use trying to tell about Michels, he is so well known, but he was indeed clever that night. He sang “How Are You Going to Keep Them Down on the Farm ?” and “Come on Papa” and Anderson sang “Does She?” But the way they “put them over” was as clever as any big vaudeville act could have done. Really as engineers those three chaps make wonderful actors. Of course we had a coon quartette and also some very good Hawaiian musicians. The audience seemed loath to leave when the Glee Club ended the concert with “The Americans Come.” The following Monday eve the clubs sang and played at Ladies’ night at the Western Society of Engineers. After the entertainment the Society served the men all the ice cream and cake they could eat. Later in April the Glee Club appeared at a dance for the benefit of the 122nd Field Artillery given at Edgewater Beach Hotel. It was quite a brilliant gather- ing and the men enjoyed the dancing immensely. We wound up a very successful season with our second annual dance at the Three Arts Club. 144 iiiimniimiiiimmiu nnnnoiiiii iiiiiimmii)i!iiii!tu!iiiiniii!imiiiiii[iiii!iimi!mLiiiiiiimiiiBiiiiimiiiiiumiiiiiiiii!iuiiimmiiiimiii!ittii!!iiwi!iiinii!iiiw n :iii ■ ;m. :ii!i' nut min .inn: :ni: iiiiii;.iiiiiniiiin iiiiiiiiiiiiii::iiiiii:iiiiii::iiiii!::iliiii:iiiiii;iiiiiiuiuii: ilili::;iiilli :iiiiii.iiiiiii:iiitii:siiiiii:mtm :!im iuu 'iiniimillinilllllitllllim GLF.E CLUB Homer Ellery Anderson......................................Business Manager Thomas Winslow Hall..............................Assistant Business Manager Prof. Wm.

Treasurer This is an organization, not much in evidence as far as the student body is concerned, but very important in the social life and general welfare of the members of our board of instruction. If it were not for the relaxation obtained at the noon hour by our professors in the informal and smoke laden atmosphere of the club billiard room, it is probable that most of them would be neurotic victims of too much class work. As might be expected, the lounging room is a mighty forum for the discussion, if not the solution, of all our social, economic, and scientific world problems. To hear Profs. Leigh and Peterson argue the relative superiorities of the National and American Base Ball Leagues is a treat in forensic eloquence, and to hear a prohibi- tion argument, led by Profs. Snow and Schommer, and joined in by the entire faculty, can only be compared in grandeur and volume to the roar of Niagara. Billiards is the favorite diversion, but checkers and the magazines have their devotees. The club boasts a male quartette, the Ever Ready, consisting of Profs. Smith, Leigh, Phalen, and Finnegan, that makes anything the Glee Club can produce sound like a cheap imitation. The Faculty Club is of genuine value in promoting team work and good fellow- ship among the members, as well as providing a convenient place to escape bores and book agents. 1 ms 147 iiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiwiiiii(uniiiiiiiiii8iiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiitiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiii9iiiiiiMiiiiii MiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiriiiiii)iiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii son a i.

This year we will erase the “if” and make it the biggest event. Many old stunts will be repeated, but that’s all right, they are funnier each time, so we are going to have a real circus day.

Hayden Scherger Peterson Vice-President President General Secretary THE Armour Institute department of the Y. M. C. A. was organized in 1899 as one of the student branches of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago. Two rooms are occupied on the third floor of Chapin Hall, and these contain a piano, current maga- zines, games, and a billiard table. This provides a pleasant meet- ing place for the students during their spare hours. During the period of the Students’ Army Training Corps at Armour, the entire Armour branch of the Y. M. C. A. was turned over to the use of the men and a War Work Y. M. C. A. secretary had charge. Through his efforts different forms of entertainment were given the men at various times, such as concerts by some of Chicago’s musical talent, dramatic entertainment, and so forth. A bible class was held once a week, led by Professor Leigh of the Institute. It had a membership of approximately fifty. An effort was made to continue this class after conditions had come back to normal again, but it was found that the time the students had for anything outside of regular school work was very limited, so the class was forced to discontinue. A membership in the Association entitles the holder to the privileges of the rooms and also to the house and special privileges of any Y. M. C. A. in the country. At the beginning of each school year the Y. M. C. A. issues a hand-book which is looked forward to by every student. Early in the school year the Freshman Handshake is held by the Y. M. C. A. where the freshmen may become better acquainted with their upper class men. jKraiiuMiumNiMitiMiiMiiiimnimiimiiiwiiiimmimiiiimiHMiiiiNiiMiiuraiiwiiiiiHiiiiiwu 149 anmtntiii«iiiiittiiiinniiiuniiiimiiiamiHiMiiiisiiiit iiiiiaiiiiiiuiitimiiiiuiiiiiutiiiiiMiiii(tiiiiii mu SOCIAL IIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIII ®fje Jfresfjman $)anbsl)ake THIS annual event, given by the Armour Y. M. C. A. has become a custom so strong that even war could not interfere with its occurrence. The purpose of the handshake is to get the men of all classes together, so that they may become better acquainted with each other. On this evening the upper classmen join in extending a hearty welcome to the new men, and endeavor to make them feel at home amidst their new surroundings, and not to demonstrate their superiority as is expected by many of the more cautious members of the Freshman Class. This year’s handshake was held in the cozy and attractive rooms of the Hyde Park Y. M. C. A., September 27, 1918, a date later than is the custom; nevertheless, this did not detract from its success. The handshake this year was attended with more enthusiasm than prob- ably ever before, not only because it was the first Armour function of the year, but also because it took place only a few days before a great change would occur in the life of every man in the college; the change from civil to military life. There was a rumor current that a captain, yes, a real captain would speak to the men on this occasion, and the sight of a real captain was alone quite a curiosity, particularly to the new men. Consequently, the auditorium of the Hyde Park Y. M. C. A. was crowded on this evening, and when Captain Kannally took the floor there was a death-like silence in that large hall, and many bulging eyes and open mouths. Captain Kannally in his address outlined the program of the S. A. T. C. stating the hours for drill and study, the boundaries of the post, and many other points that each man later learned so well. You could hear the dropping of the hearts of the men when he remarked that the uniforms had not arrived, but that he had hopes of their coming by the time the unit was organized, or shortly after. One thing that the captain accomplished that evening was to change the opinion of the men, in that, the military unit would be accompanied by strict discipline, with every minute occupied, and not an affair of fun and frolic such as a summer outing. Another speaker of the evening was a Y. M. C. A. man just returned from over seas, who held the interest of the men by many thrilling experiences, clever jokes, and amusing stories which all Y. M. C. A. men are so capable of telling. It was also on this evening that the men first met Mr. Frazer, the new war secretary for the Armour Y. M. C. A. He told the men of what he hoped to do, but after Captain Kannallv’s speech he stated that he did not know when he would have time to do it. However, Mr. Frazer did more than he told the men of, because his work at Armour was a profound success, and it was he who brought sun- shine in the hearts of the men when the hours seemed darkest, and he made the “Y” rooms in Chapin Hall as homelike as possible to the complete satis- faction of all. The remainder of the evening was occupied by swimming, informal basket ball games, billiards, chess and other indoor games. Besides these attrac- tions there was the lunch room where there was a crowd all evening. Here were barrels of cider, and boxes of cakes, cookies, and doughnuts in abun- dance. These things so appealed to some that they did not disband until the lights were being turned low. 150 iiiHiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiMiiiinumuii iiiiiDiiiiiiHin inn I.

Secretary C. Carlson Treasurer The success of the society in the last year was largely due to the adoption of the suggestion of Prof. Geb- hardt. Prof. Gebhardt at our opening meeting urged that the fundamental purpose of the engineering society was to give every member an opportunity of talking before the body, so that the members might obtain practice in presenting their subjects in brief but concise terms. The members decided, therefore, to carry out this idea throughout the year; and all agree that it is a most valuable opportunity. The first meeting of the 1919 year was held January 8. A great deal of business was transacted and plans were made for the coming year. It was also decided to give a smoker January 14, 1919, in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, to which all the Mechanical F.nginccring Students should be invited. The smoker proved a great success. We all enjoyed the high class entertainment furnished by the Me- chanics’ Jazz Band. Short talks were given by all the Professors present, to enlighten the under classmen on the purpose of the Student A. S. M. FI. The meetings following have been held semi-monthly on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. Among the many speakers and subjects presented, the following arc of special note: Mr. Regansburger,“The Steam Turbine ; Mr. Kceth, Steam Fngine Repair Work”; Mr. Brady, “Oil Testing ; Mr. Rchfeldt, Method of Drying Wall Paper”; Mr. Carlson, F'low of Water Through Orifices ; Mr. Jackson, “Testing of Metals. On the evening of February 17, 919, Prof. Daniel FI. Roesch addressed the society on the subject of “High Compression Engines.” He took up in detail all the principal parts of the Diesel and Hvid engines. The advantages and disadvantages of each were brought out by Prof. Roesch. It was a very interesting talk and all those present benefited greatly by it. 152 aim min ami; mm Top Row: Gottlieb, Peterson, Cook, Havlick, Chapin.

Since demobilization three meetings have been held, and an effort has been made to increase the activities of the Branch. The chief aim of the Branch this spring has been to increase th? interest of the engineering students of the Electrical Department in the work of the parent organ- ization; and to introduce to them the broader aspects of the profession by bringing prominent speakers before them. 'I'he Branch has also made use of the illustrated lecture service which is maintained by the Publication Bureau of the General Electric Company. The following meetings have been held: October 3, 1918. A business meeting at which the officers were elected. January 13, 1919. A business meeting at which plans for the work of the Branch were formulated. February 20, 1919. Mr. Chas. H. Jones, “Automatic Substations.” March 13, 1919. This was a joint meeting of the Branch and the A. S. M.

Hertwig BOARD OF DIRECTORS Faculty Member . Student Member It seems very fitting at this time to devote a greater part of the space in the cycle given to the Armour Civil Engineering Society in honor and acknowledgment of the completion of twenty years of service at the Armour Institute of Technology by Prof. Alfred Edward Phillips. Prof. Phillips has put into the Armour Institute of Technology and into the lives of the boys, twenty of the best years of his life, with all that means of painstaking labor, continuous study, struggle and heartache Only a man of strong brain and big heart can carry to successful conclusion the tasks that have been placed upon his shoulders. The Armour Institute of Technology can never fully know its debt to him for the inspira- tion and uplift that have been built into the characters of the young men who have passed under his influence during these twenty years. The period of Prof. Phillips' service has been the most critical in all the history of college administration in all parts of the country. The demands for changes in the course of study, the changes of conditions in the engineering world, have all contributed to render the work of head of a department of civil engineering exceed- ingly difficult. To meet these problems and solve them in such a manner as to bring about the best results, is a task of no small dimensions. The present status of our civil engineering graduates is evidence that this task has been accomplished. On account of the war courses at Armour the Civil Society has been practically inactive for the year 1918-1919. The first meeting of the year was held in the Civil Department March 24, 1919. The business of the meeting was to elect officers. The following men were elected to the offices: President, Marion K. Shaw; Vice-President, Carl L. Gold; Treasurer, Emil Dasing; Corresponding and Recording Secre- tary, Irving M. Engh. The Armour Civil Engineering Society is endeavoring to affiliate itself with the Western Society of En- gineers, by encouraging its members to take out student memberships in the society. There are now at least seventy-five per cent of the Civil Society members who are already members, or who have their applications in for memberships in the Western Society of Engineers. We are contemplating holding a banquet for the Civil Society members, in connection with our annual meeting. The present Juniors who will be Seniors next year, arc going to start things off early in the year for the Civil Society, and have a big and profitable year. We wish them many big things and much success in attaining this end. IRVING M.

KNGINEERING SOCIKTIES % )e Armour Hrrijitectural octetp Spencer Cowi.es President Alfred T. Schimeck................................................Secretary I.f.n A. Gliato...................................................Treasurer William E. Dadv..........................................Purchasing Agent The A. A. S., like all other patriotic organizations, did its bit to lick old “Bill,” and in doing so underwent harsh treatment under the regime of the S. A. T. C. It was not until the latter part of January when the old men, who had been in service, came back to finish up, that the Society got back to its own. When Cowles got back and was elected President, and Dady returned and took up his duties as P. A. things began to hum and they have been humming ever since. The ever popular Architects Informals re- appeared and the social life of the Institute began to flourish. If you will only look at the Honor Roll out at Armour you will realize why it is that the Archi are so proud of their service record. If numbers and rank mean anything to you, you will get the reason very quickly. Of the men who have been in regular service and are back at school we have five Lieutenants and an Ensign (a gold striper, too), as well as our Gob, Harry L., who for the last eighteen months, has been entertaining the women of Charleston, S. C. Next to the Prize Problem, which we are working on now, our greatest task of the year was the decoration of the main staircase for the Mardi Gras held March 4th. It was SOME piece of work, take it from one who knows. In former years we helped and received little or no credit. This year we did the whole thing, even to the pageant, which was written by our “E. H. R.” That bit of construction at a dizzy height was enough to make any engineer envious. With Patricia, our chief electrician, back to take care of the lighting, and Dad and the Gob to see to the construction and Eric, Som and Shcmi to look after the designs we were able to do a real nifty job of it. Was it a success? Ask any of the trustees of the Art Institute. Immediately after the Mardi Gras came the initiation and banquet. We Archi always have believed that, “In union there is strength,” and every man in the Architectural Department is a member of the A. A. S. Even “Som,” who leaves in May, came through and joined though perhaps it was because of the two honorary members—Coeds! We leave it to the initiator whether they were received warmly. As for the banquet it was a credit to any mother’s son, and Eric sure knows what comprises a good feed. The talk on Landscape Architecture by Mr. Jens Jensen was unusually interesting. Now that the Lenten season is over, Eric is planning on another smoker and that social event of the season—The Architects’ Dance. “Come seven, go eleven,” means a heap to us Archs, only there were about thirty who came and eleven who will be going the last of May. It sure was some bunch of ginks that paraded down Michigan Avenue that bright sunshiny day in September, 1915. DADV, ’19 Pres.

At the beginning of this school year we lost both Profs. Tibbals and Freud, who each had accepted a captaincy, Prof. Tibbals in the Ordnance Department, doing research work, and Prof. Freud in the Chemical Warfare Service, A. E. F. Both have always been very active in the affairs of this society, and our compara- tive inactivity is largely due to their absence. Prof. Freud has returned to school for the second semester, and rumor has it that Prof. Tibbals will be back before the next year starts. Our school work too, has been exceptionally heavy. It had been customary for us to hold our meetings during the afternoon, but we felt that we should rather give up these regular meetings so that we could finish our requisite subjects. Then too, the evening hours were not the most suitable in which to hold meetings as we could not attend in sufficient numbers. You will probably notice the absence of the A. Ch. E. S. photograph. This is caused by our inability to attend in suffi- cient numbers to warrant having a picture taken, not by our unwillingness. Let it be borne in mind that the A. Ch. E. S. is not a dead society. Just watch us next year and see what we can do. rHK PRKSS IIMIIIIIUIIII IIIMIHINUI iiiNiniironniMiiiiimniimniiiMniiiMniiiMniiiMiiiiiuuiiiiMiiii iiiiiiintiiiniitiiiinniiiitniiiinMiiiiiMiiiinniiiinMiiiinniiiiBniiiimiiiiniiiiiiMiiiiiiBiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiuiiiiiiPiiiiiuiiiiiiMiiiiiiuiiiiiiuiiiiiuiiiiiite THK PRESS Wi)t Cycle, 1919 Kllis C.

We have had our Liberty and Victory Loans, parades, volunteer drives and drafts, Red Cross and Charity campaigns, and other results of the war too numerous to remember. Before this country and the other nations which were at war lie the problems of reconstruction and the resumption of pre-war activities that were discontinued in order to make room for the necessities of war. During the first part of the 1918-1919 school year the publication of the Cycle was in- definitely suspended as one of the things deemed unnecessary in the military life at Armour Institute, but with the signing of the Armistice Armour quickly changed back to civil life and work on the 1919 Cycle commenced. In the past year the most important and outstanding feature of the work here was the installation of the Army and Navy units of the S. A. T. C. and it is for this reason, and the fact that a number of the many who entered the services of our Country gloriously made the supreme sacrifice, that the Cycle has taken on a distinctly military aspect. To many, it is hoped that this issue will serve as a reminder of not only the military but the scholastic, athletic, and social activities that have been carried on during this eventful year. To the William Louis Koehne Studio, the Jahn Ollier Engraving Co., and The Faithorn Co. we wish to express our appreciation for the help and hearty co- operation which they have shown in the making of the Cycle. A great deal of the success is due to the following to whom the 1919 Cycle staff wishes to express its appreciation for the support and encouragement they have given. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus Mr. F. U. Smith Dean H. W. Raymond Prof. G. L. Scherger Dean L. C. Monin Mrs. Julia Beveridge Prof. W. K. Smart 165 THK PRESS GTfjorougljncSs jV fEN attain success by means of various capabilities and aptitudes, but there is one trait which is never lacking in the truly successful— thoroughness. It is well for us to remember this simple truth as a sort of New Year’s reminder. Many of us have need to check ourselves up, again and again, with the query: “Are we thorough in the things we do?” The world is full of people who never think their own thoughts to conclusion; who never do anything quite as well as they are really able to do it. Their infor- mation is faulty, their reasoning and planning are slipshod and their work always shows marks of more or less carelessness and incompleteness. They “get by,” many of them, but they never move forward as they might. And they miss the satisfaction and pleasure which should constitute one of the most gratifying rewards to anyone engaged in serious occupation. There is a premium in the business world on the man who does things well with complete- ness and finality. He is the man who can be trusted with more and more respon- sibility, up to the limit of his native capacity. The Armour Organization is a wonderful field in which to practice with ad- vantage, the trait of thoroughness. It is an organization that is large and diver- sified and it depends much on each individual’s initiative. There are many places where waste, loss or error may creep in. They must be detected by someone’s watchfulness and care. There are possibilities of overlooking fertile fields for betterment or larger trade. Somebody’s wholehearted alertness must be the means of discovering these fields and of cultivating them. What, then, must, of necessity, be the human characteristic that is at premium in an organization like our own? Nothing other than the good old-fashioned virtue of doing things thoroughly, and not leaving them partly undone. The man who informs himself adequately about his House, its methods and policies, its products; who keeps his mind keyed to the opportunities which lie within his own province; and who does his work so well that it needs no correcting or supplementing by someone else—such a man is on the surest, safest and shortest highway to success that has ever been discovered by anyone. —J.

Mendii'S........................................................ President Wm. N. Erickson Treasures J. I. Brradv . Secretary The Honor “A Society was organized in the spring of 1914 by the active athletes of Armour. The funda- mental idea back of the formation of this society was that of bettering athletics in general at Armour. An organization of this kind is an aid in bringing out the available material for our teams, and stimulates com- petition for the various places on the teams. The athletes, by sacrificing the time for their activities in Tech athletics, will not only obtain their emblems, but also membership in the society. With the hearty co-opcration of the Executive Council and the faculty, this society has been very active up to the spring of 1917. It was at this time that the Executive Council, as a war measure, decided to tempo, rarily abolish inter-collegiate athletics. This sounded like a death knell for the A” Society, as no more cligiblc members could be taken in until athletics were again revived. As each succeeding class graduated, the active membership of the society decreased until there are only three members now in school. With the bright prospects of again having Tech teams next year, the society will resume its activities, and the block A will again be worn by the new “A” men. 200 jin M IOZ S A I .L 1 X a 1 JL V 1 A mmmmmmmmnmmmumm iiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiHiiiiiHtiiiiiaiiiiiniiiiiiuuiiinniiiiiatiiii I- R A T K RNITI I S pljinx OFFICERS Ellis C.

S Wi)t pf)inx £s otietp THE SPHINX SOCIETY, the honorary literary society of the Armour Institute of Technology was organized with the object stated as follows:— “Objec .—First, to constitute a board, well fitted by experience, to advise and in a general way supervise all student publications of the Armour Institute of Technology; particularly to arbitrate such questions as may arise, either between them and outside parties. Second, to constitute an honor society, providing a means of just recognition for services—such as are herein specified—rendered on student publications. Third, as a representative body of men of the college, to lend actively its influence and aid to every student enterprise or movement which is conducive to the best interests and welfare of the Institute. “Members.—Each member of the College who has held, or who at any time holds, a position as an executive head (Editor-in-Chief, Advertising Manager, Business Manager, or the equivalent of any of these) on any of the recognized student publications of the Institute—such men shall be entitled to membership in this organization. Further, by a unanimous vote of these men, any man not having held an executive position, but who has served for at least one year on any of the student publications, may be elected to mem- bership, until the number of such elected men is not in excess of half the number of entitled members.” Knimmiiiiir 204 IMIIIIimilllllllllHrill!UIIIIIIWIIIIMIIIIIIIIIimilllHilllMHIIIUUIIIMI «uinnnHimHiHHiiHHiiHmnnimauii v• imennaiMM 205 Illi NIIUI NHM ■■■ iii-iitim liiuiKim—in—wniHi—w—n—BM FR AT ERXITIKS Cl)e € f)r Organized November 16, 1914 Alexander S.

She let me talk and whisper. And make a lot of noise, And I was leader of the class, Of all the girls and boys. But now I'm at old Armour, I feel so strange and small. And where I felt so big anti grand. I’m nothing now at all. And all the upper classmen, They push me aside and say “Get out of the road there, freshie, Can’t you see you’re in our way?” And so I hide, ’much as I can. And stick close to the walls And follow where the others go, Around those awful halls. And once a fellow spoke to me, (I thought that I was hid) And you’re subscribing for the Cycle? Hand out a dollar, kid.” I didn’t know just what he meant I’d seen no cycles about. And I clutched my one last dollar. But I had to hand it out. They call you by your last name, 'Stead of John or just Billie, And they’re big men teachers, Where one lady used to be. But when I saw the Deans In fright, I vowed right then If ever I got out alive I’d never leave mamma again. Did you ever notice this, When a fellow takes a kiss, Of a righteous little maiden, calm and meek, How her Bible learning shows, Not by turning up her nose, But by simply turning round the other cheek.

There are a lot of embryo engineers at Armour Tech; Who think they’ve studied long enough to graduate, by heck. But out of all that motley crowd, the only ones who know, Are the boys who made a specialty of the Daraf and the Mho. 2. Some think they’ve studied chemistry and know electrons well, But when I look ’em over I’m inclined to say “Oh hell.” You ask them what pure water is, they say it’s K9P. How they ever pass their quizzes is a mystery to me. 3- And then there is that smokev crowd, we wonder who they are. The only fire they can protect is on a big cigar. But when they cross the river Stix, they’ll have it on the bunch For they’ll say, “We studied fire protect because we had a hunch.” 4- The Arch’s, a fossil bunch they are, they surely are antique When a specimen of work they show, for shelter they must seek. The hail of aged hen fruit is quite more than they can stand, For the stuff is poor perspective, and it’s fudged to beat the band. 5- Another squad, they call themselves Mechanical engineers. The horse’s strength equation seems to be their only fears. When Steinmetz needs an office boy I’ll recommend jhe crew, For I think they know by this time how a wad of gum to chew. 6. Of all the ignoramuses the civils take the cake, They’d better learn what civil means before they drive a stake. They spread all over car seats and let the women stand. If I had my way about it I would see those birds all canned. Chorus O you Armour Tech, what have you given birth. Such Architects and Chemicals, their grub they are not worth. Why did you choose Electricals to bring the bacon home. While others are only Fire protects; in search of jobs they roam. E. H.

And by asking foolish questions, Take up recitation time. A very small negro boy was a regular attendant at a boys' reading club, and always called for the same book, turned to the same place, at which he looked eagerly, and then laughed heartily. The attendant’s curiosity was finally aroused by this repeated performance, so he followed the little fellow one night, and, looking over his shoulder, saw that he opened the book to a picture of a bull chasing a terrified negro across a field. He was just about to ask what the joke was, when the boy looked around grinning, and said: By golly, he ain’t catchcd him yet.” 226 The Continental and Commercial Banks Continental and Commercial Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago Trust and Savings Bank Combined Capital Resources - $46,500,000.00 Combined Deposits - - - - $371,000,000.00 Correspondent Banks in All Foreign Countries Foreign Exchange Bought and Sold Future Rates Quoted Shipments Financed You are invited to discuss your foreign trade problems with our Foreign Department.

Safe company, little girl. They may be a little wild, but they never hang around barracks and gossip. THE SAME OLD STORY The world is old, yet it likes to laugh, New jokes arc hard to find; A whole new editorial staff Can’t tickle every mind, So if you find some ancient joke, Decked out in modern guise. Don’t frown and call the thing, a fake, Just laugh, don’t be too wise. If money talks, as some people tell. To most of us it says farewell.” A guy stood on the moonlight deck His mind was in a whirl His eyes and mouth were full of hair His arms were full of a girl.

I stood before my sweetheart Sue, That charming creature I love best, “Tell me, and docs my costume suit?” I asked that apple of my eye. And then the charmer made reply, “Oh, yes, you do look atejul cute. But presently at window side We stood and watched the passing throng.

Jahn Ollier Engraving GxJ 554 WEST AJDAMS STREET CHICAGO 233 H I M O R When the dawn is softly breaking, And you’re sleepy as can be, And your collar and your shirt front Are an awful sight to sec; When the cabby wants his money, And your headache needs a balm. Then you call yourself a lobster Anti you damn the Junior Prom. The one who thinks these jokes are poor Would straightway change his views, Could he compare the jokes we print With those we do not use. Of all the sorry sights to the masculine view. There is one inexplicably shocking, It’s a short skirted girl, with a neat low cut shoe. With a hole in the heel of her stocking. What! You say I use slang, do you? Well, come on now, we’ll just sec! I’d like to know what right you’ve got Handin’ such things to me. Guess the bats are in your belfry, Or your brain is on the blink, P'raps there’s bubbles in your brain tank— ’Least that’s what you make me think. Guess I use good high-brow English! My vocabulary’s swell! And I don't use all that soft stuff. Nor “hot air,” you know it well. Now you understand me, don’t your Don’t pull off that stuff, sir, then.

Really there's but one way—the right way. It will not be unprofitable to bear in mind all thru your career that the progress of a business is dependent upon the opinion in which it is held by the public; that the message whose purpose is the moulding of that opinion is impotent until animated by the vitalizing spark of printers' ink, and that its vitality and power will be in keeping with the skill of the technician charged with giving it life. Business messages wrought and animated by skilled technicians, the right way. The Faithorn Co.

Its easy enough to look pleasant, When life goes along like a song. But the feller worth while is the man with a smile. When the stuff in our jokes ain't strong. There was a man in our school And he was wondrous wise. He drew a pony on his cuff Of much diminished size, But when he felt a little bored, And yawned with arms extended, That wise man gave himself away, And straightway was suspended. 236 LiZ giimniiiMiiiuniiiiMiiiiiiiiiiii i!uiiiiiiiiiinnniiwiiMiiiiwiHniiMHMNMH MiuiiiiiiiMiiiiiwHiiiiHiiiniiiiiniiiiiniiiiiMiiHiiiiiiuMiiimiuiMiiiiuHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiMiuiMiiiuiiuiUiiiiiiBiiiiiB TO TO S.wiiiiiiiiiiiittiiiiimiiiiimiiiiinmiiitiiiiiimi i o i a ii
