I accept with considerable hesitancy and great humility. I am well aware of the fact and fully realize that it is no easy task to follow in the footsteps of a great and wonderful and inspiring leader, such as was our late President, Dr. Gunsaulus. Gentlemen of the Faculty and Students: I ask for your forbearance, your patience, and above all, your co-operation. It is my intention to carry out the wishes and the plans of our late and beloved President to the best of my ability, and I pledge and promise to do my utmost to conserve the traditions of the Institute, to advance its interests, and to promote its general welfare in every way. If I am blessed with health and strength and your loyal support, we will “carry on” together until a permanent President is chosen.

(Efir £r clf ■■ ALTHOUGH Armour Institute has been in existence only a short time it has a very remarkable and interesting history. When Mr. Joseph Armour died he left a bequest of one hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of building a Mission in Chicago for church, school, and educational purposes. To this his brother, Philip Dan forth Armour, added a large sum to complete and outfit the building. The building was opened in 1886. Ever ready to help those who wished to help themselves, Mr. Armour built at various times, several large flat buildings in the neighborhood of the Mission, the revenue from which served to make it as far as possible self- sustaining. To the religious work, a free dispensary and library were added, the latter in charge of Mrs. Julia A. Beveridge. Mrs. Beveridge, believing that the usefulness of the Mission might be increased by taking up manual training, organized classes in wood-carving, clay-modeling, tile-making, and drawing for boys, and classes in domestic arts for girls. The success of her endeavors so pleased Mr. Armour that he de- cided to take up the educational work on a still larger scale than the size of the Mission would permit. Accompanied bv Dr. Gunsaulus and Mr. John C. Black, Mr. Armour visited eastern institutions and, on his return to Chicago, decided to organize a school similar to Pratt or Drexel Institute. A board of Trustees was organized, consisting of the following: Mr. Philip D. Armour, Mr. J. Ogden Armour, Mr. William J. Campbell, Mr. Philip D. Armour, Jr., and Mr. John C. Black. A charter was obtained from the state government and in 1892 the present ‘main building” was erected. The first classes were organized in 1893. Dr. Gunsaulus, President, was assisted by a small, very efficient faculty, of which Prof. L. C. Monin, Mr. John E. Snow, and Mr. Edward D. Agle are still associated with the Institute. At the time of its foundation the Institute comprised the .Armour Scientific Academy and the Technical College, as at present, and also the Departments of Domestic Arts, Commerce, Music, and Kindergarten Normal Training. The courses included in the Technical College were: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Architecture, and Library Science. Be- tween 1896 and 1901, the courses in Domestic Arts, Commerce and Music Fifteen I Cycle i IB were dropped one by one to meet the increasing demand for young men trained in applied science. In 1901 co-education in the Academy was given up. so that the instruction is limited to young men. All the engineering courses have strengthened from year to year. Departments of Chemical Engineering and Fire Protection Engineering have been added to the other engineering departments. Since 1902, Evening Classes and Summer Courses have been offered and much good has been derived from these. An additional building known as Machinery Hall was erected in 1902. Mrs. P. I). Armour having donated the building, while Mr. J. Ogden Armour bore the expense of providing equipment. Mr. J. Ogden Armour also pre- sented the Institute the ground known as Ogden Field, the opening of which greatly stimulated the interest in Athletics at Armour. The latest addition to the buildings of the Institute is Chapin Hall. During the summer of 1909, a fire occurred on the third floor of the “main building” in the store-room of the Chemical Department. Quite a loss was suffered, but was fully covered by insurance. The store-room was im- mediately rebuilt and is now very much better than ever. Sixteen THE GREATER A. I. T. THE Armour Institute of Technology, after twenty-five years of adjust- ment and re-adjustment to opportunities and conditions, has adopted its matured plans for the future and has received a substantial gift of land and money from Mr. J. Ogden Armour, so that it will inaugurate and develop its complete plans. The difficulty of obtaining a proper location has been great. It has cost one million dollars to find and obtain title to a contiguous parcel of land upon which the institution may stand and develop for all time. It will occupy the entire eighty acres near the lake south of the South Shore Country Club. This tract has been formerly known as the Windsor Park Golf Club. The land has been purchased, and is now turned over to the Armour Institute of Technology. The Institute has sought the advantage of a situation easily approached by the city and suburban service of the Illinois Central and the Baltimore Ohio Railways. Near the north portion of the land obtained is the Windsor Park station of the Illinois Central which will be reached in a few minutes from down town, when the railway and the Institute have completed their arrangements. The cross town electric lines at the north of the campus on 75th street are satisfactory. On the south end of the campus at 79th street are electric lines connecting the west and southwest sides with our location satis- factorily. The Baltimore Ohio almost touches the southwest corner of the eighty acres. The lake is within a few blocks and will furnish opportunity not only for water athletics, but hydraulic engineering and marine engineering, which must be undertaken in time. On the south arc the great steel and cement plants of the Calumet district. These are not surpassed in the world for the use of an institution whose students must visualize engineering pro- cesses in manufacture. Modern methods with us require visits to operative industries with which high grade engineering concerns itself. The tentative plans for our buildings with the accompanying sketch of their arrangement, constitute only a provisional study. They have required a gift of $5,000,000.00 for their erection and extra equipment. The whole scheme which has been worked out after a quarter of a century of experience in the central west and in Chicago, means serviceableness in architecture as well as beauty and dignity. The buildings will constitute a piece of serious apparatus for the special work which any such institution must do at this time and in this region. Commodious as the buildings are and large as the location seems to be, the Armour Institute of Technology will limit its number of students to one thousand. The prospects at university foundations for the highest and most necessary research work in pure science are so large and secure that the Armour Institute of Technology will have only its responsibility in the central west for the training of engineers. The high schools of this region, especially the technical high schools, have their large responsibility in the preparation of students who expect in four years to receive our degree of Bachelor of Science in this or that kind of engineering. Our present method so expanded requires large room for apparatus and for safety, as well as the rigid adherence of a program of study and experiment under experts always serving the student to at all reach the ideal in view or to meet the situation in American engineer- ing. These problems are many and difficult. The world’s coal problem must be solved by what is most necessary in America—the use of our mighty wasted Seventeen ®fje Cycle water power. The civil engineer must be ready to make Chicago, Duluth, Detroit, and perhaps other cities over into Atlantic ports, and he must he trained to do his part in the future with those who worked so excellently in the past and bring the lakes and the gulf together by the river system which nature has partially provided. W hen the Armour Institute emerged from the enterprise of a coeduca- tional school and based its operations twenty years ago on the expectation of such a war which has come, it had no clearer vision than it has now of the necessities for engineering education of the highest grade in order that the problems of peace may be met and solved. It was a war of engineers when the battle was on, and American engineering greatly figured in winning the war. It is now a war of engineering against primitive and ignorant wastefulness of the forces of nature and the blundering of untrained men in politics which creates the necessity for such education as we assume to offer. One thousand young men fitted for leadership in mind and skill will be our constant and contributory effort in the direction of a better-working civilization. In the matter of athletics, we shall have soon plenty of room for such games and athletic developments as arc not usually part of the physical training of American students. W e hope to domesticate and enlarge the educational scope of many of the out-door sports which have been foreign to students or impossible, usually because there was not land enough, and secondly because of the time used upon inside gymnastic exercises. 'I'he buildings at present will occupy about eight acres. A large portion of the first forty acres will be left for future developments. The south forty acres of the tract will be devoted to such summer and winter out-door sports as will make out-door men supple and strong for their life work any where. Mr. Armour's gift has not been unexpected. Mr. Armour and his associ- ates have studied this problem with the valuable help of other educators, es- pecially in more recent years, and has found that the only solution is an im- mediate and large gift that we may inaugurate here and now a foundation for technical training commensurate with the intention of the Armour friendship tor such education and what must be the largest opportunity and duty. Our city is soon to be the greatest engincring city in the world. This work will be commenced and prosecuted as rapidly as possible, in view of our respon- sibilities in the case.

HAVLICK HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1921 It seems but yesterday when we first learned to enter the Institute with hats in hand, awed by the fact that we were entering college where boys were transformed into men in a period of four years. That hot morning seemed uncomfortable then but we have since learned that it was a part of the warm reception given to all Freshmen upon entering Armour. We were not long in becoming acquainted with all the men in the class, particularly so after attending the Freshman Handshake, where Doctor Gun- saulus gave us a talk on Armour spirit and where the respected upper class- men admitted we were a fine crowd but nevertheless Freshmen who deserved nothing more than abuse. With the spirit of the class at its best, we organized as the class of 1921, with Bell as our president. A dance at the Hyde Park Hotel in the Spring, proved the class was there, as did our baseball team during the same year. You will recall that the war was becoming a serious affair at the close of the year and upon entering school in the fall of 1918. we were given the privilege of enlisting in the S. A. '1'. C. Between childish Sergeants, Cal- culus and Physics, we were forced to alter our ideas of college and men. In spite of the handicaps placed on the class, elections were held and Michels was elected president and during the year he convinced us that he was a cap- able president as well as he was rightfully entitled to wear the three stripes which the army gave him. The dance in the Black Cat Room of the Kdge- water Beach Hotel was the usual ’21 style. Baseball flourished even more successfully than in our freshman year, and we upheld the dignity of the class more than ever. The third year was our most important one at the Institute. The war being over, S. A. T. C. forgotten, and with the return of many men from former classes after service with the Government during the war, the class Forty-two Qtfjt tpIf was organized again, stronger than any time during its history The follow- ing officers were elected: E. F. Winter....................................President T. C. Sedgewick............................Vice-President J. P. Sanger.....................................Secretary F. E. Hayden....................................Treasurer G. W. Dowse...............................Sergeant at Arms R. Van Valzah..........................................1st Marshall G. W. Peterson........2nd Marshall, Chairman Soc. Comm. E. M. Nudelman...............................Athletic Rep. Junior week was a decided success. The play, “Lucky Seventh.” was written by Eeverett Quinn an old Armour man, and through his coaching it went across in fine style. The Banquet at the Aviation Club of Chicago and the Prom in the Florentine Room of the Congress Hotel were both a success as well as Circus day with the Mustache contest, field events and parade. We had charge of the Cycle and published a book that was a credit to the class. Athletics flourished and we had several “A” men on our teams. This year brought us back with a determination of making it the best one ever. Officers were elected and the first dance was held at the Sherman House and it proved a success with Lyons at the wheel. In a short time, graduation will reveal itself to 11s. We are on the home stretch, at the place where Freshman go out of their way to speak to us, and have therefore resolved to do our share as Alumni to reflect credit upon our Alma Mater. We wish to thank the President, Deans and Faculty for their efforts in helping us attain the goal we set four years ago. May they think of the class of 1921 with as high esteem as we as individuals think of them. B. S. in M. E. Stanley H. Barce Born May 22, 1899, Chicago, 111. Fenger High School. “Efficiency and Capacity Tests of a Harrington Chain Grate Stoker.” T. B. II., A. S. M. E. Barce is a man who speaks but few words, but one may well reckon with those which he does use. IIis straight- forward, clean cut manner has won the respect and friendship of all who know him. A keen sense of analysis, a ready wit, and a forceful personality assure to make this man a true engi- neer. Harlan W. Bird Born May 24, 1898, Chicago, 111. Nicholas Senn High School. “Design of an Automatically Con- trolled Fuel Vaporizer Using Ex- haust Gas.” A. S. M. E. “Birdie” is our gasoline engine ex- pert. He knows automobiles from shock absorber to “hot spot,” and when he is driving his big Stude- baker, he judges clearances by the fraction of an inch. Next to autos, his favorite hobby is Michigan Boule- vard on a Saturday afternoon. Harlan is a good worker, too, and this quality combined with his strik- ing originality and disregard of prec- edent will stand him in good stead later.

E. “Doo” has failed entirely to live up to Prof. Palmer’s favorite interpretation of his surname. Quiet except to those who know him best, with ever ready good nature and a smile or joke for those around him, he has won himself a place in the hearts and thoughts of those with whom he comes in daily con- tact. John Henry Clouse Born April 22, 1888, Junction City, Ohio. Junction City High School. “A Proposed Design of Steam Labora- tory for the Greater Armour Insti- tute of Technology.” A.S.M.E. Clouse is an old hand at mechanical engineering, having had some valuable practical experience. Then, too, he was once a professor (doesn’t he look it). Finally he decided to go to school some more, with the result that we have en- joyed the addition of his quiet, patient, persevering personality.

Kenosha High School, Kenosha, Wis. “The Representation of Automobile Engine Characteristics by Sur- faces. 2. K. ±.; A. S. M. E. Art hails from Kenosha, but we re- fuse to hold that against him. In fact after meeting the attractive young lady that he has brought to several of our school affairs from there, we are inclined to envy him. He is a con- scientious worker and while he makes little fuss about it, he is always there with the results. We have all learned to know him as a true friend and he has never failed to help us out where- ever he could. Forty-six Frank Charles Duennes Born May 10, 1898, Chicago, 111. Oak Park and River Forest Township High Schools. “A Proposed Design of the Steam Laboratory for the Greater Armour Institute of Technology. T. B. II.; A. S. M. E.; Glee Club. Frank is one of those quiet steady fellows whom you can always count on to do the right thing at the right time. He has made an excellent record and a host of friends while at Armour, and we know that whatever he does when he leaves college he will do well. $ % ( % % %+%% ! ! %( TI)f Cycle 31 llllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllW = — a ■ in Morton G.

The Senior “Mechs” were not with- out their “infant prodigy”; for young “Mort” filled the bill. In the class- room he always sought the “why” and “wherefore” which showed his deep interest in his work. Spenser Newton Havlick Born Feb. 8. 1897, Denver, Colorado. North Denver High School. “The Relative Cost of Operating Steam and Electric Locomotives for Switching on the St. Paul R. R. In- dustry Tracks.” T. B. II.; 2. K. A.; Sphinx; Y. M. C.

A glance at the above long list of “Spense’s” achievements will show one that he has been one of the mainstays of his class. “Spense” has that rare combination of personal qualities which assure his success in everything he undertakes. His abilities as a stu- dent and as an athlete are of the high- est order. His unfailing good nature, his willingness to serve, and his merry laugh, have made for him a world of friends. If he carries his college suc- cess into his worldly affairs, nothing will be beyond his reach. Forty-seven Jtfje Cftlf Wm. A. Heitner Born July 5, 1897, Chicago, 111.

Class Treasurer, '21, Junior Play, Pin and Ring Committee, Cycle Staff, ’20. •‘Bill” is a regular fellow and has established himself as a favorite among his classmates and is a friend worth winning. He is the “Mark Twain” of the class and keeps it in good humor with his ready smile and jovial disposition. He is a true Ar- mourite, as shown by his scholastic standing and his support of Armour activities. Alfred C. Hoven. Born October 6, 1898; Chicago, 111. Englewood High School. “Design of a Refrigeration Plant for the Greater A. I. T.” K. X; A. S. M. E. “Al” came back from service with the U. S. Coast Guard and made as many new friends among the present Senior class as he must have had in the one that graduated while he was away. In spite of constant exposure to the refrigeration department he has made many warm acquaintances that will last for years. Forty-eight i £t)f Leo S. Maranz Born March 9, 1899, Chicago, 111.

A.; Editor-in-Chief of the Cycle, 1920; Senior Social Committee, 1921; Class Basketball, 1919; Junior Play, 1920. Leo, erstwhile Editor of the Cycle, is the type of student that never fails to reach the last rung in the ladder of success. His college career is marked by four years of hard work. Leo's outstanding qualities are evi- denced by his willingness to assist and support in every way possible the ac- tivities of the Institute. Julius M. Naiman Born April 24, 1894, Russia. Lake View High School, Central Y. M. C. A. Mechanical and Electrical Engineer- ing. Design of Hyperbolic Elbow Flow Me- ter. Design of Electrical Furnace Pyro- meter. A. S. M. E., A. I. E. E. “Prof” Naiman is our authority on mathematics, electricity, flow meters and power plant control. Naiman is the nrst student who has completely finished both the M. E. and E. E. courses in three years. In addition, he is the inventor of our “Jazz Orn,” of a steam flow meter, a pyrometer, an electrical boiler room control appara- tus and a whole slough of other items. His success is assured. Forty-nine mmmmm T!)t Ci clr Louis B. Newman Born April 5, 1900, New York, N. Y.

A.; Managing Editor of Cycle, 1920; Class Basketball, 1919; Junior Play, 1920. Lou's jovial nature is the reason for his host of friends at the Institute. He has well earned the appellation of “good student. Newman played in the interclass basketball tournament, and occupied the important position as managing editor of the Cycle. He has been an interesting figure in College circles. Newman is known as the “other half” of Maranz. Wladislaw S. Pawlowski Bom May 13, 1894, Chicago, 111. Tuley High School. “Automatic Spark Control for Gaso- line Engines. A. S. M. E. “Walt” is one of those fellows whose experience in the World War, and four years’ Army Service has made him one of the more serious minded fellows of the class. He is a cool minded fellow and generally says what he thinks. “Walt” like a good Ex-Service man is always on deck when there’s anything doing. Fifty ■ Clif Cycle i r 11IIIIIIIIIIIM '£ John J.

Johnny, the jovial, big-hearted, and somewhat boisterous athlete, is one of the most active of the Senior Mechs. If there is action anywhere on the campus or in the classrooms, one may be sure to find him present. Johnny has the other than athletic proclivities too. Being “vurra” hand- some and of stalwart build, he is most popular with the fairer sex. This ability to mix, combined with his per- severance and clear head are sure to advance him later. Frank D. Quinlan Born April 3, 1899, Chicago, 111. Crane Technical High School. “Performance of a Chain Grate Har- rington Stoker.” Q. A.; A. S. M. E. “Quin” is one of the best liked fel- lows in the class. Everyone in school knows him as he is in on everything that goes on around here. There cer- tainly is no doubt about Quin’s grit and determination. He has not only carried his school work well, but he has also held down eight hours of work every night during his four years here. It has kept him on the go to do it, but he has accomplished what he went after and has managed to find a lot of fun on the way. Quin has been too busy to have any hob- bies, but he has developed a deter- mination that will take him a long way. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 0 s muni 9298004466338 wmmmmmammmmmmmmmi Cpdt wmmmmmmmm■ (■Me.

E., 1920-21; Cheer Leader Class of 1921; Local Editor 1920 ‘‘Cycle”; Editor-in- Chief “Armour Engineer,” 1920-21. John has always been among the most active men in his class. Appar- ently he has no special hobby, other than to succeed in all his undertakings, for his name appears in connection with practically all school activities. As a student he has always been at the top of the list, and we doubt if the Glee Club could have gotten along without him. His winsome personality, which makes friends for him wherever he goes, and his success as an executive, as shown by his work in connection with the “Engineer,” should make for him a niche in the Hall of Fame. Albert John Steiner Born June 27, 1905, Hungary. “Thermostatic Water Jacket Control of a Gas Engine.” Ohr, A. S. M. E. AFs pleasing personality and readi- ness to be of service, has won for him many friends—in the true sense of the word. His industry has been proven, since, in addition to his school work, he superintends the electrical effects of Chicago’s leading theatre. His ability to make minutes count, will assure his success in his chosen pro- fession. Fifty-tivo I Cfje Cycle i Robert W. Van Valzah Born August 29, 1898, Durand, 111.

He may be a bit slow, but he always gets there. He is one of those fellows who tackle their work in an earnest not- to-be-denied manner, and who play just as hard when it is time to play. Deliberate, steadfast, yet always ready for a frolic, “Van” is one man we are counting on to succeed. Charles Taylor Walter Born January 4, 1899, Omaha, Neb.

E., 1920-21. “Chick” works when he works and plays when he plays and can be relied upon to do equally well in both. He is a natural leader and one of our most active mechanicals, being inter- ested in and a faithful supporter of all activities, ever ready with a good sug- gestion and a helping hand. His wide personal friendship, due to his pleas- ing personality and scholastic record is indicative of his standing at Armour. Bruno Edward Wolgemuth Born Oct. 1, 1896, Chicago, 111. Tilden High School. “Efficiency and capacity tests of a Harrington Chain Grate Stoker.” T. B. II.; A. S. M. E. Bruno is one of the older and more experienced men in the class. He en- tered armour in 1915 but two years in the Great War as a lieutenant in the air service have delayed his graduation. He has seen service of another kind, too, for some four years ago he entered into a life partnership with the present Mrs. Wolgemuth. One cannot say enough for this man, tho. Practical, aggressive, frank and of unfailing good humor, he has never been seen without his welcome smile. Even the trials and troubles of Theodore, his infant son, have failed to dishearten him. We’re predicting a sunny future for this optimist. Sheldon Hayward Webster Born October 16, 1892, Sioux Falls, S. D. Washington High School, Sioux Falls, S.

Yet “Webbie” is far, far away from being a “grind.” His pleasant smile, his willingness to as- sist, and his many activities have made him one of the best liked men of “ ’21.” We know that his deter- mination and his honesty will “Carry 99 1I111IHI I .X 7 1 1 Fifty-four z )t £?clr Arthur W.

Besides being the leader of the Elec- tricals as far as scholarship goes, “Louie” was treasurer of several or- ganizations. The fact that he comes from Oak Park is the only thing we have against him. During the S. A. T. C. “Louie was one of the few boys out of uniform because he was not old enough to be in one. We have no doubt but what he has a successful career before him.

The way he took his part as “leading lady” in the class play will be long remem- bered. Those days held strenuous times for “Andy.” If one can remem- ber four years back they recall that he was a quiet unassuming chap, deep- ly engrossed in his studies and class athletics. Oh! how he has changed. He is now interested in anything of a social nature as well. His favorite greeting is, “Have you heard this one”? Louis Simon Bloom Born November 1, 1896, Russian Po- land.

If you ever want to know anything about electricity, ask Bloom, because if there is anybody who is an elec- trical shark, it’s Bloom. He some- times has Professor Freeman guess- ing when he starts to propound some new discovery or theory in electricity. Give him a chance and he will have Einstein guessing pretty soon.

Aside from being one of the best liked fellows in school, he is always known to help out a friend any time he could. Nobody could help but like Dick, who was al- ways there with his merry smile and his pleasing personality. His chief hobby is picking an argument with O’Rourke which he is always willing to do. His favorite saying is, “Fonde- bush.” If you wish to know what it means, you will have to ask him, as he is the only one who knows.

A. T. C., was elected a class officer, and anyone who was ever in the serv- ice can imagine what a fine fellow he must have been to attain such a dis- tinction. Aside from being one of the best liked fellows in school, “Fletch” was active in all school affairs, and when it came to the ladies, he was there with bells. His favorite query is, “Have you got that dollar yet?” Fifty-eight Harry Charles Kihlstrom Born September 19, 1898, Chicago Heights, Illinois. Englewood High School. Design of a 20,000 K. V. A.

Harrison Technical High School. “Automatic Control of Electric Flat Irons.” A. I. E.

He Jan always be seen jump- ing around and directing things espe- cially when he and a few more stu- dents get together to wrestle one or more of Professor Paul's problems in Hydraulics. His activity alone will carve for him a niche in the electrical hall of fame. 51 ■ii'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiy ' fcl 53 Fifty-nine Ray Clide Malwitz Born August 11, 1897, Cleveland, Wis.

Ray would have graduated with the class of 1919 if he had not enlisted in the Aviation at the end of his sopho- more year. He returned to school after several months’ service during which he attained the rank of First Lieutenant. Ray is the type of fellow who easily makes friends which prob- ably has had much to do with his suc- cess both in school and in the army. After graduation the firm of Malwitz and Albee are going up in Wisconsin and direct the construction department of the Wisconsin Light and Power Company. We wish them all the suc- cess in the world. James Joseph O’Rourke Born November 17, 1898, Chicago, 111. St. Cyril High School. “Design of a 20,000 K. W. Power Plant.” T. B. II.; H. K. N.; A. I. E.E.; Inter- Class Baseball, 1919. Jim has always been a general good fellow, always ready for a laugh, whether on his neighbor or on himself, always in trim for work or sport. Jim is frank and honest in his dealings but it takes a mighty clever man to catch him on a “gold brick” proposition. Jim is universally well liked and re- spected and bids high to become an im- portant man in engineering circles of the future. Cndr ■ William W. Pearce Born February 8, 1899, Waukegan, 111.

Besides be- ing consulting engineer for an induc- tion motor company, he is the last resort when the amateur radio enthu- siasts of Waukegan find out that their wireless sets wont function. The only thing Bill does not care to do is Ma- chine Drawing. He does everything else from washing windows in the Mess Hall to collecting dues for the A. I. E. E. We can see success writ- ten in big letters for Bill for his pleas- ing personality could not bring him less. Delmar Lloyd Rosendal Born March .31, 1900, Chicago, 111.

Rosie has that rare ability of com- bining athletic, social and scholastic activities and has made an enviable record at Armour. He could not easily have done otherwise with his ever ready smile and ability to make friends. His favorite occupation is playing a trombone while sitting on the business end of an induction coil. His favorite expression is, “Say, Guy, look out.” PlllliililllllllllilllllllW = i i Sixty-one i )t Cptlf Herbert F. Schrieber Born April 1, 1895, Elmhurst, Illinois.

Burke Born February 8, 1898; Chicago, 111. St. Phillips High School. “Design of a Reinforced Concrete Ciiimney.” W. S. E.; Interclass Baseball, 1919. Here is another Civil who spent ninety-five per cent of his time in the Armour Mission. In his last year at school Burke represented an express man with his large number of books under his arm. We don’t know the reason why this state of affairs should have existed, but we have our sus- picions. Derwood S. Chase Born January 13, 1897. Washington High School, Sioux Falls, S.

E.; A. I. E. E. Derwood came to Armour seven years ago. Both before and after the war he established for himself an en- viable scholastic record. So aside from the fact that he came back with more true Armour spirit he was none the worse off because of his ;nter- rupted college course. His spirit and popularity were attested to when the class of twenty-one chose him as their president. Sixty-four George C. Kumbera Born June 2, 1898, Kewanee Co., Wis. Algoma High School, Algoma, Wis. “Design of a Sand and Gravel Wash- ing Plant. ” B. 4 .; H. K. N.; W. S. E., A. I. E. E. George, better known as “Swede,” is one of Armour Institute's best known and most efficient “fussers.” One of the easiest ways to get a girl for a dance � s to ask “Swede. His favorite expression is “Gimme a light.” Otherwise he is a real fellow, and if he doesn’t make a railroad president in a few years we will have missed our guess. William K. Lyon, Jr. Born June 20, 1900; Chicago, 111. Wendell Phillips High School. “Design and Construction of the Am- burson Dam.” T. A.; W. S. E., 1919 and 1920; Secretary W. S.

He fin- ished up his work in grand style and still found time to arrange for the Senior Class Dance. He has a pleas- ing personality hence his many friends. If “Bill” should not succeed as a C. E. (tho we feel he will), he could resort to his friends or run dances. Sixty-five mmmmmam i Ifje Cycle i «i Herbert A. Mann Born June 8, 1899, Chicago, 111.

K. 2.; Class Treasurer, 1916-17. “Matty” is one of those clean cut men that makes one feel sure that he will accomplish things. In fact he has. His activities in class affairs leave no doubt of his future success. At sum- mer camp we believe he had some- thing to do with a controversy between a worthy senior and a skunk. He is a great traveller; in fact we all have an idea why he goes from Ravenswood to Normal Park every Thursday night. He is also inventor of the expression “Gimme a match.” ■■■ ■ £fie CjPtlt i George W. Peterson. Born June 14, 1899; Omaha, Neb.

Slow and easy going “Pete” was one of the most active students, and poli- ticians of his class. Besides running the Junior play he arranged a few good dances for his class during the Junior year. He founded the “Royal Order of Iron Pants” after discover- ing a sale on corderoy trousers. Edward Mundt Born May 15, 1897; Lloyd, Mont. Bhinook High School, Bhinook, Mont. “Design of a Sand and Gravel Wash- ing Plant.” B. «1 .; W. S. E. A typical Westerner from Montana is Mundt. He is a man of few words, only believing in speaking when words count. His hobby was Civil Engineer- ing first, last and always.

Harry was an all-around star among the senior chemicals, being among the first in scholarship as well as one of the mainstays of the basket- ball team. Whereas some chemicals do two years’ work in three, Harry demonstrated how three could be done in two. His studies were sometimes the least of his worries, especially when a good trouncing in basketball loomed forth. His name nearly always appeared in the writeup as well as the lineup, and there was a reason. Roy M. Singer Born September 14, 1897, Chicago. Carl Scnurz High School.

A good time was never overlooked or an opportunity passed by, when ever he was on deck. His success in this line can be readily attributed to his masterful looks and knockout smile. We can’t, however, overlook his ability in other lines because it is well worth mentioning as can be seen by his activities and accomplishments at school. The chemical laboratory was a favorite place of his but due to out- side work he was unable to be there as much as he would have liked. To every one who knows him, he speaks for himself. Walter Joseph Anderson Born January 13, 1896, Chicago, 111. Lane Technical High School, 1914. “Heat Transmission in Cooler Coils.” T. B. II.; «I� . A. T.; A. Ch. E. S. “Andy” came back from the war still full of ambition and finished school in fine form. Probably the service af- fected him slightly by making it diffi- cult to get up without a bugle call and therefore his ten-thirties were some- times a drudgerv. After his arrival at school he was always wide awake and doing things, and did not take his sleep as others were wont to do. His long list of friends was only limited by his acquaintances. Wherever Andy was there was plenty of life and never a grouch.

Class Sergeant-at-Arms. 1919-20. Little “Pewee” was the regular jack-in-the-box among the seniors. The supposedly more learned seniors were always jumping him but he shed them off like a duck does water. Though small in body he was a giant in heart and mind and to those who knew him his good will was predomi- nant. His glad hand and that catch- ing smile, developed probably thru his vamping efforts in the play, were the secrets of his popularity, with the women and men respectively. He shows us clearly that all great men are not six feet tall. Alfred Russel Edwards Born September 19, 1897, Chicago, Illinois. J. Sterling Morton High School, Clyde, 111. “Zinc Nitride and Its Alloys.” 2. K.A.; A. Ch. E. S. A1 was the kind of a fellow who was in no one’s way but always ready to give his assistance. He had the Chicago “I Will” spirit all the way thru school and that along with his individuality makes him of a most manly character. His accomplish- ments on the mandolin always furn- ished a snappy bit of music, especially the kind that is sought for now. His pastime at cards made him a good dealer, especially to himself, but his good nature and wit always kept him out of any difficulties. It is also note- worthy to mention that he never pur- posely overlooked any fair damsels who perchance passed his way.

Since it is difficult to discriminate between benzene and Benzonia, we will let Judson do that. We never knew of Benzonia until Judson put it on the map for us but we know now that it’s there to stay. “Judio” let things come as they would at the In- stitute and mastered them all. Like many of the seniors, he was not af- flicted with any form of brain fever but his work counted and he let noth- ing slide. In short, he was a man who could execute and had a mind to contrive. Hilton Kaplon Born December 30, 1896, Chicago, 111. Crane Technical High School, Crane Junior College. “The Production of Chromates and Dichromates.” American Chemical Society, A. Ch. E. S. Kaplon’s ability has manifested it- self again and again, and along lines of organization, the G. H. G. speaks for itself. Besides being a superb or- ganizer, he is a real worker and be- lieves in taking his vacation after his work rather than before as has some- times been the case among seniors. There certainly was nothing lacking in “Kap’s” nature as he was always in the best of spirits and took a keen interest in his work. He was a faith- ful standby and a general source of information in the lab. Whatever he does when he leaves the old Alma Mater will always be to its credit. i Cfje Cycle ■ m Aaron Pashkow Born January 18, 1896. Russia.

Cheer Leader, 1920. Little was the B. L. T. of the chem- ical laboratory with a line or two on any subject on a second’s notice. His presumptuous illusions failed some- times to drop any light on his mathe- matics although he has starred in the latter for his entire school career. His success is undoubtedly laid in his originality and this will continue to be a big asset. He was one of the halves of the well known Little-Vor- sheim combination and we know that should this combination continue out- side nothing but success could result as they worked in perfect harmony and produced wonderful results. If we ever saw LittK without a smile we would be lost, and that was his nature all the way thru. ■■■■■■■I ®fif Cpdt - miiKiiiM I A L'.'

Ch. E. S., 1920-21. John comes from the east but he has left all of the high brow style be- hind him and come to us as the kind of scout we never wish to overlook. He was thoroughly good natured, a first class student and possessed of sound individuality along with a free good will. Above all, Savvy has a real head and knows how to use it for the best results. His clear thinking ability is one of the best assets of an engineer and will surely bring him where many other things wouldn’t. The other side of his life at school can best be told of if you ask him about some of the Columbia girls. Emil William Pfafflin Born October 2, 1899, Chicago, 111.

So say all that meet him, even the women themselves. The thing by which we will remember him most are his dancing and the dances which he arranged for while on the social com- mittee. Did you ever see his parallel on the polished foot boards? All of his activities did not push his studies aside as he was constantly surprising himself as well as others by achieve- ments in scholarship. He is impres- sive from the start and can’t help being successful with the ability he possesses. Seventy-three Raymond K. Scherger Born May 14, 1899, Ithica, New York. Englewood High School. “Determination of Benzene in Com- mercial Gasolene.” B. 4� .; A. Ch. E. S.; Glee Club, 1918- 20; President Y. M. C. A., 1919-21. Scherger was one of those easy go- ing fellows with ne’er a care to weary his overworked brain. He approached very near to an ideal scholar when it was possible to run a boiler test by sitting on a chain smoking a cigarette. Outside of his thesis, his most diffi- cult problem was finding a remedy for study, which no doubt is a dreary thing. Many would that he had found it but all his diligence failed to pro- duce results. He surely was good- natured and well liked by his class mates, and did much to keep the Y. M. C. A. going with increasing suc- cess. Whatever he undertook was done with a thoroughness and completeness which resulted in highly commendable work.

S.; Varsity Basketball, .1919-21; Interclass Basketball and Baseball, 1917 to 1920; Social Committee, 1918-20. With Sippel goes another veteran of both the chem. lab. and the basketball team. He had an ambition for doing things and to be among the first, and his activities easily show his success. His spare time was spent with ath- letics and because he knew how to make his time count, he succeeded in getting by without a loss. He was the old reliable on the squads to which he belonged and showed his value re- peatedly. • BBfe . JH 5 i Seventy-four )t Cj clr ■ George Henry Vorsheim Born August 16, 1900, Chicago, 111.

Vorsheim, the other survivor of the company, Little-Vorsheim, Inc., is the all around good fellow who hopped to the tune of the bell in the class play. It is rumored that his new system Calculus book is about to go to press, and that all the colleges of Greenland have already made contracts for Campbell’s Pork and Beans. His main hobbies are Theology, Calculus, puz- zles, and well there’s a woman in the case. When we speak of a man of Vorsheim’s caliber we have no doubt as to his success as he surely will come out on top. Emil Frank Winter Born April 6, 1897, Chicago, 111.

S., President, 1920-21, Vice-President, 1919- 20; Junior Play, 1920; Cycle Staff, 1920; Armour Engineer, 1920- 21. “In his greatness lies his popular- ity,” sums up Winter in a few words. He possess a rare ability and com- posure and is not of the kind who tries to kid himself and think he is get- ting away with it. All of his actions and words were clean-cut and frank, and he was never at a loss to form and express his opinions. Ilis enthu- siasm in class and school activities won a place for him among the leaders of his class, and the admiration of all. We may characterize him by saying he was never boastful but widely re- sourceful. Seventy-five I Cfje Cycle i B. S. in A. 7 UN!!:.: 2 = i r| 1 in Fred M. Baldwin.

Jerry is the jester among the Senior “archs.” Besides the time he wasted in the Senior drafting room of the Art Institute, he has spent considerable amusing listeners. Rumor has whis- pered that he is the social lion of the architects, and we fear that after graduation day he may drop architec- ture. ®fjt Robert L. Mink us Born July 7, 1900, Russia.

Being a “left over” to use the term, because of his services in the war, ‘Winnie’ is a bit older than most of his classmates in years as well as experiences. His out- standing characteristic is his unselfish attitude in helping everyone that needs help, whether that person asks for it or not. You will often see him on Saturday noons (as is his habit), smoking a cigar in front of the Art Institute, which is supposedly a tonic for the afternoon work. William C.

Of course every well informed person knows all about the present Junior class, but perchance there are a few poor, suffering representatives of humanity, upon whom cruel fate has forced a miserable existence, without knowledge of the class of 1922,—for the benefit of these last mentioned few hapless individuals, 1 will attempt to enumerate a few facts concerning this super class. The Junior class as a whole is unlike all of the other classes. The class has not the haughty coldness of the Seniors, the meek greenness of the Fresh- men, nor the obnoxious arrogance of the Sophomores. Were it not for the ability of the class of '22, the basket ball and the baseball teams, the Glee Club and the Jazz Rand, the Cycle and the Engineer, would all be sad failures. In addition to all this the Juniors are the brains of the Armour Institute. For the first time in twelve years Prof. Paul did not give any Valentines in Junior Mechanics; and at the end of the year, at least fifteen members of this honored class will have finished Freshman Drawing. The class also contains such famous personages as: Terence McSwinney McCaffrey and Clarence Herbst, the well known Mechanics sharks; Leon Trotzky Nowakowski and Eli Slobod, the eminent Philosophers, Orators, Moralists, and Literary Critics ; Ike Blum, the pride of the Math, department, and last but not least, Max Marine, the joy of the Chem. Department, who handed a red hot flask to his partner, Rosenzweig, “because it was too hot to hold”. This is a very small list of the celebrities of our class, as it was forced, after electing, H. A. Peterson.............President G. D. Wetherbee........Vice-President G. H. Keu.ey...............Secretary E. M. Seaberg..............Treasurer to appoint a Cycle Staff and about a dozen committees before the talent of the class could be anywhere near occupied with class duties. As was said before, the above list is small and the information meager, but those who wish to know more concerning these, or data concerning other members of the class, will find reliable and complete information in “Whose Who in America”. Lack of space compels me to close now, although it would be but a child’s task to write volumes on the merits of this class. I feel, however, that before I close, I must confess that this otherwise perfect class has one fault; its excessive modesty.

Although somewhat inexperienced in running so important a race, and little knowing the obstacles which lay in our paths, we set out primed with ambition, and determined to do our very best. In the course of the first lap—our Freshman year—we managed to let the other runners in the race know of our entrance, and succeeded in stirring up quite a bit of smoke along various lines. First came the Freshman Hand- shake, at which we became acquainted with one another as well as with the upper classmen. In athletics the usual Twenty-Three pep prevailed, and our indoor base- ball team captured the pennant by defeating the upper classmen, thereby re- ceiving the Black and Gold numerals for the first time. In basket ball and baseball more material was uncovered and we were proud to have one of our classmates on both of the varsity teams. After running for a year, we felt much more confident when we set out on the second lap of the race, having become more accustomed to the course along which we were traveling, and better acquainted with our fellow runners. In September of 1920, things again started out with a bang, and we were the proud wearers once more of the numerals, this time as the result of a triple tie in the inter-class basket ball tournament. When the Varsity squad came out shortly afterward, there were some six or seven Sophomores among them, three of whom received the much coveted “A.” And when it came to the election of the Captain of the 1921 team, a Twenty-Three man was honored with the position. The next important mark along our path was the Sophomore dance, which was held in the Red Room at the La Salle Hotel on the 18th of February. Knowing just what sort of dance we had given when we were Freshmen, everyone was right there when the night of the 18th came, and it was hailed to be one of the best dances ever given at Armour. When the call came for baseball candidates we were again on deck and many of our young Ty Cobbs and Tris Speakers heeded the call, four or five of them landing permanent berths on the Varsity squad. Due to the untiring efforts of some of our classmates, both last year and this, track work was again started at the Institute and the class of Twenty- Three was well represented at the first call for material. It was found that there was much good track material present in the Institute, and we hope to help turn out a winning team in this sport as we did in both baseball and basket ball. And so, as we finish the second lap of the race, proud of the records which we have thus far made, but ever aware that we arc but half through, and that the hardest part of the journey may yet be ahead of us, we stride steadfastly and untiringly onward, so that ere we cross the tape at the finish of the race we will have reflected much credit upon our Alma Mater and upon the Class of Twenty-Three.

Every Freshman is, to a more or less degree, a stranger to his class-mates, and because of this the question of who shall lead the class is very difficult to decide. It is a common saying that the first man nominated at a freshman election is the one who is elected. The Class of 1924 seems to have been unusually fortunate in the selection of its officers for they have tried their best and to a large extent succeeded in de- veloping a well organized class. The splendid spirit, however, shown by the class as a whole, in attendance at meetings and in support of different activities, has been the greatest factor in determining the success of the Class. The officers elected were: Earl Anderson, President; Albert Joseph, Vice- president ; Stanley Farrell, Secretary; S. Tliorsn, Treasurer; Bowman, Chair- man of Social Committee; Latta, Cycle Representative; Witashkis, Athletic Representative; and Jensen, Sargeant-at-Arms. At a meeting of the Class on Feb. 14, Earl Anderson resigned as President as he was leaving Armour to accept an appointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Eatta was elected to the Chair and Spaid was given the post of Cycle Repre- sentative. The Class stood solidly behind their basket-ball team and showed its ap- preciation by awarding the numerals 1924 to the players. In all branches of sport the Freshman Class has been represented. The social activities have, as yet, been very few as the Freshman Dance, which was set for April 8, was postponed because of the death of our late President Gunsaulus. Many words have been spoken and many words have been written lament- ing the death of Dr. Gunsaulus, but it is far past the power of human expression to write a fitting eulogy to so great a man. Although the Class of 1924 came into contact with Dr. Gunsaulus for only a short time, it tried to show in a small measure its regard and sympathy by sending a floral tribute to the funeral.

School activities and College life have swung back to a pre-war state. And so after the stabilizing effect of the 1920 Cycle the staff of the 1921 Cycle decided that having regained our feet it was our duty to get in step with the world and to continue along the path of progress. We think we have. We accepted last year's edition of the College Annual and with no intent or detracting from it in the least, have injected new ideas into it and in our own way have tried to stay in the vanguard of Progress’ march. Of the many new ideas that have been inoculated into volume IX we expect some will be received with much pleasure, while others will arouse severe criticism. We will be gratified to hear the kind expressions of pleasure from our subscribers. Besides we will gladly welcome any con- structive criticism of this volume. I say gladly because although the criticism will come too late in order that we might benefit by it, it will be a priceless legacy that we can bequeath to our successors. In preparing this volume, quite a few hazards made the sailing rough. The present staff was not elected until the middle of October, 1920, and so lacked the impetus obtained by a timely push-off on the opening day of the semester. The second and by far the more painful upset of our plans oc- curred when our first president, Dr. Frank Wakely Gunsaulus, passed out of this world. Ilis death was a terrible blow to the Institute and to all with whom he had dealings. And in more ways than one has the influence of his death upon the College's affairs been reflected among these pages. The editors of the Cycle consider it a truly great honor to be in a position to pay tribute to such an eminent man. We have dedicated this volume to his memory and realize full well that in so doing, his death will make this a monumental volume. We are proud to be the authors of a monument to the memory of Doctor Gunsaulus but would much prefer that he had lived. Ninety-six The last barrier in our path occurred in the home stretch. It was the printers’ strike which lasted nearly one week. It is unnecessary to say more about that because the public news organs covered it completely. We are sorry for the late appearance of the book and have tried to atone for the tardiness by improving on the quality of the book. But as you see, the hindrances were beyond our control. Because a college annual is very often the only tangible means of recalling to the mind of the graduate the days he has spent in college, the Cycle Staff has moulded this book after a fashion that they believed would best enable the graduate to live over again “those good old college days.” To bring about this desired result we have left nothing undone. We have en- deavored to depict all the different phases of a college student’s life here at Armour Institute. The activities of the students arc represented by both words and pictures. As a record it covers the events of the school year 1920-1921 completely. In conclusion I would like to thank all those who helped make this volume what it is. Especially do I want to thank the other members of the staff who were always willing to help and without whose unreserved assist- ance the book would have been a failure. CLASS REPRESENTATIVES J. P.

With the success and influence built up by previous issues in mind, the present staff undertook to maintain and uphold the established standards and precedents of the journal, and to take up the work where it was laid down by the previous staff. In bringing the Armour Engineer back to its former status among engineering publications, the staff realized the hearty co-operation extended by the Alumni, the faculty, and the students of the Institute. The aim has been to bring the Alumni into closer relationship with the Institute activities and with one another, and at the same time to form concrete ideas for the students of the work successfully engaged in by thtc Armour graduates. The Alumni section acts as a news agency among the graduates of the Institute Here arc listed the various activities and pursuits of the Armour Alumni. The College Activities section keeps the readers in touch with the events occuring on the campus and is of a “newsy” nature. The editors of Vol. XII wish to express their deep appreciation for the many valuable suggestions received from Dean Monin and Dean Raymond; and for the support and contributions tendered by the Alumni, faculty, and students of Armour Institute. Ninety-nine MAIX STAIRWAY One Hundred JElje Cpclt One Hundred One fjf Crclf MARVIN R. OLSON Athletic Editor One Hundred Two Cycle ATHLETICS Athletics at the Armour Institute were re-established on a very favorable basis, that is to say, intercollegiate activities had received the support of the general student body. When national affairs became normal again, the Ex- ecutive Council, acting with the aid of the Board of Athletic Control, unani- mously endorsed a system of athletics which would interest even the most unconcerned individual, which system proved remarkably successful. The system was of such a character that the students who did not actually partici- pate in athletics, were accorded an opportunity of offering suggestions which would promote the work of that department. Home game admission tickets were provided for distribution, and with the kindly aid of a squadron of students, many of them were sold. The holders of these tickets attended each of the home games, thereby standing by and sticking with the basketball and baseball teams. The intercollegiate basketball tournament was most successfully carried on. although the Institute had severed its collections with the Little Five Conference. The series of tournament games were played on a free lance basis without regard to any ironclad athletic arrangements with other col- leges. Our conduct was thus free from the critical observation of any western organizations to which we would have been bound under different circum- stances. An intercollegiate baseball schedule was adopted also this year. Games were arranged with the leading college teams around through the neighboring states. 'I'he free lance idea prevailed in this schedule and for the same reasons as it did in the basketball tournament. To date Armour has made a very suc- cessful showing and bids fair to finish with a high average. Two new sports crept into the Armour Athletic circles this year. A wrestling team was formed under the guidance of one of the senior students. Regular practice sessions were held and the training for the team’s few match- es was quite intensive. The sport probably will be taken up again next year with renewed spirit. The other sport that was revived by a few enthusiastic students after a few years interruption due to the Great War was track. Track used to be one of the three major sports at Armour. Beyond a doubt it will be returned to its former plane next year because of the uplifting efforts of the members of this year’s track squad. Armour only competed in one meet but the enthusiasm and material is present which augurs well for next year’s prospects. One Hundred Three Elje (Cycle OFFICERS J. J.

The Institute team won this game by a score of 33 to 21. In this game Ahlbeck and Schumacher starred for Armour, the former making six baskets and the latter four. The Institute players made a trip to Indiana and played Butler College on December 3. The two teams were well matched and alternately held the leading score until the latter part of the second half when Pat Page's team made a series of long field goals. The final score was 32 to 23. The follow- ing evening the Institute team met the University of Indiana team on the latter’s floor, and was defeated by a score of 16 to 48, by the strongest team in Indiana and probably in the Big Ten Conference. On December 10 the Institute team met the Hahnemann Medical College team in the Armour gymnasium. This game was a decided victory for Armour in every detail as is shown by the score, which was 34-14. Ahlbeck increased the Tech score considerably by making seven baskets and six free throws. Close guarding by Johnson and Havlick kept the Medics away from their goal and forced them to take long shots at the basket which they failed to make. The University of Chicago booked a game with Armour on December 15, in Bartlett Gymnasium. The Tech team played a remarkable passing game, and led the Maroons by a 2 to 0 score for several minutes after the starting whistle. Due to a strong Maroon defense the Institute players were unable to get within range of the basket for many shots, and Chicago soon took and held the leading score. The splendid following that the Institute had, which consisted of several hundred students and a fifteen-piece band, illustrated the manner in which the college is backing the team. On December 17 the Institute team played the Illinois Wesleyan Uni- versity at the Armour gymnasium and was defeated for the first time this season on their own floor. The victory for Illinois Wesleyan was gained principally by long field goals. Houssler of the Wesleyan team made the greater number of these for the visitors. Illinois Wesleyan is a member of the Little Nineteen Conference and is probably the strongest team in that Association. Armour Institute played a second game with the University of Chicago on January 3, in which the most accurate “basket shooters of the Maroon team were held to a few baskets. Due to the strong guarding and to the Tech players' ability to find the basket the final score was 15 to 34 in favor of the Maroons. When the Chicago College of Osteopathy came to Armour they found the team in good condition, well able to find the basket and skilled in passing the ball. Schumacher made eight baskets and Havlick added eight more points to the score. Ahlbeck, Rutishauser, Sippel, Johnson, Payson and Fischer showed their ability to break through the defense of the Osteopaths. One Hundred Eight tCfjc Oclf Close contests were had with old rivals such as Augustana College, Lake Forest College, and Valparaiso University. The Armour team had dropped a game to the former in their gym, but evened up matters later in the season. The Rock Islanders made rapid strides in a game on the Armour floor, February 25, but were soon checked after the first half, tying the score, 31 to 31. with only 3 minutes to play. Witashkis, on the Tech team, subsequently rolled in a pretty basket and upset the even tally. The game was a treat to the spectators who were in the air most of the time during the close play. Lake Forest College was outclassed in each of its two games with Armour. The Institute team made a final invasion of lower Illinois when it played two close games with Wesleyan and Millikin Universities on their floors. Milli- kin’s braggadocio spirit was dampened when Armour defeated its team in the former college’s gym. The Tech players brought home the “bacon” still steaming hot, and chuckled at their easy victory over the Little Nineteen leader which had just defeated the Universities of Illinois and Iowa in nip and tuck contests. The Armour team had a lead of 10 to 2 in the first half of the game. Armour students should remember that an athletic team is as strong as its supporters. Good cheers destroy jeers. An enthusiastic crowd of student supporters can carry a team over the brink to victory. We are indeed proud of our student fans who did their part in this hardest of all basketball seasons.

Kuehn ..................Forward Captain Havlick fitted into his posi- tion as guard perfectly. Under his able direction the team was led through a successful season. Captain Havlick and his team maintained the spirit of clean sportsmanship and fair play for which Armour is well known. He was truly impregnable, and never faltered when the strain of a hard game began to tax his strength and nerves. Too much praise cannot lie accorded this stellar player—a leader of men, both off and on the basket- ball court. Schumacher, playing forward, needs to be commended for his bril- liant floor work. “Shoe” had his eye on the ring, and simply sank basket after basket from the early part of the season to the last half of the final game of the season. His long shoot- ing was as sure as the simple shots under the basket. A great percentage of his tries for the goal materialized, and he laid the ball on the rim dozens of times. Witashkis, playing guard, was marked for his sensational dribbling. “Wittie” played a fine fast game at all times. His method of slipping through an opponent’s fingers, so to speak, is only one of the many tricks Wittie” had stored away in his little bag. We arc glad to learn that this lightning-like player will return to school next year and again offer to the the basketball team his services. The qualities of form and fitness are essential in the making of a player. Rutishauser, playing center, could boast of both these essentials. This tall, agile player gained the tip-off in most instances. His team-mates met immediately after the last game of the P. Witashkis ................Forward E. Johnson ....................Guard E.

It was at first thought that Ahlbeck had deserted the basketball circle. As a result, a sharp search was made for other guard timber. Rut Harry sub- sequently returned to the fold, put- ting forth his same good old efforts— standing by and sticking with the team. His playing ability may be classified as of high grade. The bas- ket fans may have wondered at Ahl- beck’s absence from the game during the season’s windup. Harry had pulled out of a fracas with an injured arm, and was advised to retire. Kuehn, a guard and forward rolled into one, joined the ranks after half of the games had already been played. Otto's playing was well known by those who saw him in action last year. Sippel, playing center, was a chip of the old block. “Corney” played a good game throughout the season. Johnson, a budding star, became an integral part of the Armour quintet. His fast and careful move- ments in a close game, and his ability to snap the ball from the backboard, set him out in the limelight. Farrell joined the ranks late in the season. During his brief association with the squad, be became a valuable utility man. Fischer, also a product of last year’s squad, played well his part in this year’s tournament. The team was well supported by this old timer. Payson, a very active center or guard, showed up well in the con- tests in which he figured. We hope that Payson will be on the squad next season.

The baseball team began their season’s training with no easy competition ahead of them. The infield as well as the green in Ogden Field were mercilessly pounded out of shape by heavy rainstorms. The institute players practiced in the gym, where they were relegated for several months. The Armour nine welcomed the first appearance of real baseball weather by donning their grays and hitting the pill around in true outdoor fashion. An artificial diamond was built in the outfield and used until the regular one permitted invasion. The institute’s hurling staff comprised Bready, Gilbertson, Desmond, and Van Dyke, all of whom pitched airtight ball throughout the season. These players were able to put enough of “something” on the ball to smoke out even the most skillful batters that faced them. We had a pair of steady catchers in Grueb and I,iu, the former having earned the appellation of “pinch hitter.” Malpedc occupied first base, while Rowe played second, and Schumacher third. Sevic was at short, and had a whiz of a whip. The outfielders were an integral part of the team, and muffed very few flies that came their way. That part of the game was well handled by Zingheim, Mooney, Erickson, and Plocar. The Tech players started out the season with a double-header, playing Hillsdale College in the morning, and Lake Forest in the afternoon of April 16, 1920. After losing the morning game to Hillsdale of Michigan, 11 to 6, Armour Institute slammed the pill hard and defeated Lake Forest, 10 to 7. in the afternoon encounter. Bready and Zingheim each soaked home runs in the morning. The institute players invaded Indiana on April 19. where a hot contest was had with Valparaiso University. Strangely enough, this was a hoodoo day for the Hoosicr team, as well as for Armour. A section of the bleachers fell, toppling many rooters to the ground. A number were slightly hurt. To top the climax, Valparaiso defeated Armour, 11 to 2. On April 24, Armour Institute poled sixteen healthy swats for a 10 to 5 victory over Augustana College of Rock Island. Bready and Grueb each connected for two doubles and a single and Mooney poled a homer and a single. An old rival dropped a game to Armour, when the latter defeated Val- paraiso University, 7 to 0. in Ogden Field on April 27. Airtight pitching by Bready, who allowed only two hits, gave Armour Institute an easy victory over the visitors. Armour won the game in the sixth inning when Grueb hit a home run with two mates on the bases. Armour conquered its former adversary in the Little Five Conference when Lake Forest lost a close game to the former. Finishing in sparkling style, the Tech players carried off a ten inning victory, 9 to 8, on the loser's diamond. After the nines battled through alternate rallies, Lake Forest tied it. 8 to 8, by a three run onslaught in the eighth, and was on the verge of winning in the ninth when Mooney’s peg from deep left cut off a run at the plate. In Armour’s half of the tenth Grueb tripled and scored on a sacrifice. One Hundred Sixteen XI)e (£j clt The team sojourned to Michigan to play the Michigan Aggies on May 3. The hosts beat the institute players, 13 to 5. Errors accounted for eight runs. When the Tech team played Knox College on its diamond on May 8, the latter won, 6 to 5. Armour took the lead in the first inning, but lost it in the sixth, when Knox drove Desmond from the box. 'I'lie last game on the schedule was the closest played. Beloit College beat Armour Institute, 2 to 0, on a muddy field that prevented fast baseball. It was a pitcher’s battle from inning to inning.

Unlike most athletes, he al- ways retained his composure. He stood the gaff of a game with un- flinching spirit, and carried on with the interests of his team at heart. He deported himself at all times as a captain should. When speaking of athletes who have made good, we arc cognizant of the admirable record that had been made by Ira during his four years at the Institute. Ira was known for his athletic abilities in every direction. He was a versatile baseball player. Bready’s record in baseball will re- main for time immemorial. The team had a good number of “Bills.” Among the players of that name was Zingheim. He could be seen out in the field snapping off every fly, and picking up the most ragged grounders. As a basball man, Bill proved himself a worthy part of the team. Plocar played in the field. He gave to the team his best efforts. “Hank” did part of the season’s pitching. His most outstanding characteristic was a speedy way of hurling the ball in the easiest manner with a long trail of “smoke” behind it. Van Dyke’s assistance during the whole season cannot be measured. Every team must have a Jester, and he was found in the person of our jovial player Mooney. Frank drove away the gloom in a close game, and knew how to drive the ball away, too. He was known for his habitual home runs. A first sacker must necessarily be a first grade player, and Dan was so constituted. His remarkable way of holding on to the ball regardless of his position at the base, was an im- portant accomplishment. We will al- ways remember Dan Malpede for his broad smile under all circumstances. Good baseball players are made in all sizes and qualities, and when the Manager of the Institute’s team went on a shopping tour for baseball men. he stumbled over this athlete. “Gerry” Schumacher has the qualities sought for in every baseball player, and so far as his size is concerned, they say, that “good things come in small pack- ages.” Gilbertson was on the pitching staff. His good work in that branch of base- ball will be remembered always. A tiny fellow with a whale of a whip, from deep short. That is the fitting sobriquet for “Billy” Sevic, who played his part well. All the way from Japan came a miniature fellow who sought to take advantage of the educational oppor- tunities offered by the United States of America. And when he had reached his Senior year in the Institute, “Chuck-a-luck” offered to train for a place on the baseball team. He was chosen to fill the position of Catcher on the first string team, and played a very good game. When a foul tip mashed his finger, Liu was compelled to quit playing, but he had earned his emblem for his loyal work with the Tech nine. It seems that miniature baseball men are the doers of big things in every branch of sj ort. “Tommy” Rowe well earned his college em- blem and put forth his best efforts from the beginning of the season to the end. despite the handicap of be- ing switched from one position to another. Another one of those Bills who play on important part in college life. Desmond’s ability as a pitcher was his strongest argument in the most difficult games.

Erickson Zingheim Volz, Coach Grucb Van Dyke Goodman Mooney Malpede Desmond Bready Schumacher Gilbertson Sevic Liu Rowe lijr Cftlt i THIS YEAR’S PROSPECTS In response to a call for baseball candidates, a host of new material appeared for training. The institute baseball team for the season 1921 will be piloted by J. Leo Walsh, who played third sack with the Bloomington Champions, and is now under contract to appear in the Three I League, commencing June first. Coach Walsh believes that a strong aggregation may be formed out of the material at hand. The first day’s practice attracted over 40 candidates and, up to the present time, that number has been only moderately lessened. Coach Walsh is pointing out to the aspirants the necessity for a thorough knowledge of “inside baseball.” A player who understands “inside baseball” is an asset to his team. Besides knowing how to play baseball mechanically, an athlete must apply psychology to every mechanical move. It does not require ability to play the game a certain way—according to settled rules—failing to use judgment and discretion when the occasion warrants their use. A baseball player should be more than a mere manikin that acts and works only when its spring is wound. The institute is badly in need of a pitching staff. The nucleus around which a pitching staff may be formed presents itself in the persons ot Desmond, Van Dyke, and Gilbertson, of last year’s team. Schumacher, Rowe, and Plocar also furnish good building material for this season’s nine. The baseball team will be headed by their Captain, William Zingheim, who played in the outfield last year. On account of illness. Captain Zingheim was compelled to leave school in the early fall. He has now returned to the fold, and will guide the ventures of this season’s ball team. A strong schedule has been arranged, including competition with such teams as Northwestern University, University of Chicago, DePauw Uni- versity, and others. The program for 1921 is as follows: BASEBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1921. Saturday, April 2, at Armour—ELMHURST COLLEGE. Monday, April 4. at Beloit—BELOIT COLLEGE.

One Hundred Twenty-four ttfjr Cj clr FRESHMAN ATHLETICS The Class of '24 first made itself prominent by the excellent basket-ball team which it entered into the inter-class contests. Any class might well be proud of the record which this team made. Throughout the schedule they lost only one game, and at the finish they were tied for the championship of the Institute. Lack of time prevented the playing of any more games to decide the championship. The fine playing of the team in the first game, against the Seniors, con- vinced the school that the Class of ’24 was a serious contestant for the cham- pionship. The game was a hard earned victory for the Freshmen, although they took the lead early in the game and held it until the final whistle. The score was seventeen to sixteen. The second contest was lost to the Juniors by the close score of seventeen to fifteen. It was this one slip that cost the Freshman the title of champions. In the third and last game, against the Sophomores, the Frosh won; the tally being twenty-three to twenty-one. A longer schedule would have been preferred had time permitted, but that being impracticable, they had to be contented with the indecisive results. By far the best player on the team was Captain Witashkis, who later won recognition by his brilliant playing on the Varsity team. “Phil” acted as right forward, being assisted by Mollcring and Farrell, who alternated as left for- wards. These two could always be depended upon in a tight play. Thorsen played center and as he invariably out jumped his opponent he proved to be a valuable man. Gardner and Ciha, by their excellent guarding, were cpiite ef- fective in preventing their opposing forwards from scoring. A great deal of credit is due to the substitutes Olsen. Ruddimann, Brinkman and Mark, as it was their eagerness to enter the game at any time that carried the team over many rough spots. The class showed its appreciation of the work of the team by awarding numerals to all the players. The Freshman class had two men on the Varsity basket-ball team; Wit- ashkis and Farrell. The fine work of Witashkis won him a letter and a sweater, besides the applause and praise of the entire school. Farrell joined the team rather late in the season and so was unable to display his ability to any great extent. At the first call for the baseball team, about fifteen Freshmen responded, among whom arc several who have already won baseball honors elsewhere. It is expected that the Freshmen will have a fair representation on the Varsity nine this year. One Hundred Twenty-five tTijt Cvtit WRESTLING A trained wrestler was discovered among the seniors of the institute when H. M. Schiffman offered to teach the sport. Tuesdays and Thursdays were chosen as practice periods for the wrestling class. The mat men of the institute were as follows: The one big wrestling meet in which our team made an excellent showing was held March 25, 1921. American College of Physical Education fur- nished the opposition and had the advantage of meeting our grapplcrs on their home floor. The result was an honorable defeat for the Tech grapplcrs, two matches to three. Schiffman who was the prime-mover of the sport at Armour was coach of the Institute’s septad. Wrestling at 145 pounds he won his match in two straight falls using for the first fall a half nelson and bar arm. He won this fall in three minutes and forty seconds. He gained his second fall in four minutes and thirty seconds with an arm and head lock. Stangle was the other victorious Armour wrestler. Wrestling at 125 pounds he proved the master of his opponent Baer. He obtained his first decision with a crotch hold in one minute and ten seconds. After a brief intermission he won his second fall with a chancery and arm lock in three minutes and thirty seconds. The American College of Physical Education won the other three bouts. Some of the losers on the Tech team came very close to upsetting things. They would have done so had they been drilled in more dual meets. The experience from this match and probably more to come will be invaluable to the men who will return to school next year and keep alive the interest in this manly sport. Wrestling is constantly and deservedly increasing in pop- ularity and bids fair, with the available material on hand at Armour, to be- come one of our school’s leading sports. T. R. Farrington J.

WINTER SENIOR DANCE They fooled us alright. We thought they had passed peacefully away, but they weren’t pushing dandelions out of the ground and they proved it by throwing the first grand backscratching contest of the year on November 19, at the Sherman. It had been so long since we had a class dance that the rush started at about 9 sharp. Oh for the life of a social chairman! We all did envy Bill that night. Like the dickens we did. We only stopped long enough to look about on the floor for a brooch that had been lost by one of our visitors and as this was found in a few minutes after the loss had been announced, we proceeded to keep the musicians working for their sheckels. They say “time flies”. It didn’t that night. That would have been insulting the speed with which the evening passed. And the worst part of it was we had to stop at 12. But then one can’t have a “hooper-do” of a time forever so we piled out and it was some bunch. If you can judge the goodness of a dance by the number attending it, then this dance was the best yet. William K. Jr. and his associates were to be held responsible for this Armour dance and we don’t think they are exactly ashamed at the results which their efforts produced. We are not.

HOCHRIEM JUNIOR DANCE The Juniors followed suite and gave their first dance on December 10 at the La Salle. We had the Louis XVI room and it sure was some dance. The floor was marble, the girls pretty, and the music—well you had to be dead from the ears up and the eyes down if you couldn’t dance with all these. It was a knockout, as was agreed unanimously. To show how good the dance really was. the occupants of the hotel were gathered almost into the room watching these modern disciples in Greece, as they pushed a wicked hoof around the landscape. We danced as much as possible during the early part of the evening as we thought we were going out at 12, but Bob decided we should stay till 1 and we did. Bob had run some dances for us before, during our Freshman year, but practice makes perfect and the experience was visible in the arrangements and running of this dance. The seniors had a good one but Armour had to label this one O. V. B. It was another typical Armour dance and the alumni, who were there, can back us up in the above statement. We owe the success of this dance to the chairman, in particular, and to the other Armour men who are always on deck to push an Armour function.

Bradley SOPHOMORE DANCE We had just about given up all hopes of ever having another Armour dance when the Sophs thought they would give the boys a treat. It had been more than two months since we’d had a dance so every one was rarin’ to go when the date and the place for the hop was decided upon. Bob Bradley was the plugger for this dance and through the efforts of his associates and himself he managed to give one of the best Armour dances of the year. As a fitting scene for such a display of Armour spirit and backing. Bob selected the Red Room at the La Salle Hotel and the date as February 18. I don’t know where Bob got the music but we all did agree that when it came to producing real dance music that bunch sure was good. As an added attrac- tion the fun lasted until one, and the crowd was as thick then as it had been at 9:30. It surely did make a big hit and the Sophs showed the Armour bunch that they could give as good a dance as any class had yet produced. One Hundred Thirty-three Cf]t Cycle i SOCIAL COMMITTEE of the FRESHMAN CLASS R. J. BOWMAN, Chairman W. J. BRINKMANN C. G. MILLER W. G. STEELE R. J. Bowman The dance that was to have been given April 1921. at the La Salle Hotel in the Red Room, was indefinitely postponed, because of the death of Doctor F. W. Gunsaulus. All student activities were postjxmed and the school was in a state of mourning for three weeks out of repsect for his memory. Judging from the preparations that were made for this dance it would have been a corker. Next year, however, the class will have a chance to show its metal. One Hundred Thirty-jour £{je Cycle FIRST INTER-HONORARY FRATERNITY DANCE GIVEN AT CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB January 14, 1921 COMMITTEE IN CHARGE Fletcher E. Hayden, H. K. N. Emil F. Winter, I A T. D. S. Chase, T. B. II. “Let’s give a dance,” quoth a wearer of the “Bent” one fine day last December. “You know all work and no play------------” Directly opposite, on the third floor of Chapin Hall, a like germ had settled. Modest brothers in ohm sifting, purveyors of lean amperes, must needs “Bridge” the gullies left by the strenuous mental efforts of 1920. Eureka! A dance with soothing music, a music radically different from that produced by water-cooled ‘'slip sticks.” When “Bent” and “Bridge” cur- rents, flowing in the same conductor, chanced to hear rumors of similar effer- vescence among those nomad youths, the ranking Chemicals of the Institute, it was agreed that Armour should soon witness the first inter-honorary engi- neering fraternity dance in its history. The outcome of this combined civil-mechanical-electro-chemical genera- tion and standardization of ideas was a high caliber dance at the Chicago Motor Club on January 14, 1921, by and for the memmbers of Armour’s national honorary engineering fraternities, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Xu, and Phi Lambda Upsilon. Thirty couples tripped the light fantastic as the “Armour Special” orches- tra of five pieces uncovered surprises which would put the Chicago Symphony to shame. Thus honor men greeted honor men (and accompanying ladies) under a new social sun, and a precedent has been established which will be enthusi- astically followed from year to year.

Friday, May 6th—Junior Prom. CIRCUS DAY. This year Circus Day was eagerly looked forward to and with much an- ticipation. Well, our greatest hopes were realized. All records were broken. True, the Cycle did not show up but there was a reason. However, there were countless other things to compensate. There was the big top, the greased pig, pop corn, peanuts and hot dogs, too. Oh yes; many a disgrunted student eeked out his revenge on any of the profs he so desired, and in his own sweet way. Funny, but the profs laughed too. Let me explain, if you were not there. You see, a rack of dolls was put up within throwing range and each doll bore the name of a professor. Then you had three trials for a dime to knock the professor down. Some sport. Many of the time worn stunts were repeated, but they had improved with age and proved funnier than ever. Some idea of the day’s events can be gleaned from the following program: 1. Freshman-Sophomore Sack Rush. 2. An Athletic Pentathlon. 3. Inter-Fraternity Pageant. 4. Inter-Fraternity Relay. 5. Winner of Mustache Contest Awarded Prize. 6. Catching of Greased Pig. 7. Inter-Collegiate Baseball Game. 8. Peanuts, Popcorn and Red-Hots. 9. Many Interesting Side Shows. 10. Scores of Individual Ham-Actors. The track and field events were in the form of a modified pentathlon in charge of H. E. Hagen. Contestants had to compete in all events, which were five in number and included: 100 yard dash. Running broad jump. Shot put. «S80 yard run. 220 yard low hurdles. The winners of the pentathlon were awarded handsome prizes. One Hundred Thirty-nine G:ie Hundred Forty-one BAN JUNIOR BANQUET Class of 1922. The one big get-together party given exclusively for the Juniors and a few of their guests was held at the Aviation Club on March 5, 1921. It was our first class banquet and gave promise of many yearly cheerful reunions in the years to come. The cuisine was wonderful, a full course affair, consisting of good food and plenty of it. As guests, the class had invited members of the faculty and alumni. Among the alumni with us for the evening was “Shorty” Maguire who al- ways adds to such occasions with his stories. He gave a very learned talk on nothing in general for which we were very thankful. Like Maguire, the other speakers called upon were aware that the Aviation Club's rooms were not classrooms and we were not subjected to any of those long sleep-producing after dinner talks. Needless to say that excellent entertainment was derived from the speeches and what followed them. The Jazz band and a representa- tion of the Glee Club were on hand to help over the rough and dry spots with some Caruso and Beethoven. The merry makers took advantage of every minute and would have failed to crowd more real good wholesome fun into six months than they had that memorable night. Indeed most of us are looking forward to the first reunion and only hope that there will be reunions of the class of 1922 every year. One Hundred Forty-tuo )t Cycle The Junior Prom Held May 6th, 92 At the BLACKSTONE HOTEL in the Crystal Ballroom This was THE dance of THE year. Maguire thought he’d make this the prom of proms and lie surely did and then some. As a starter Bob announced that the dance was to be held at the Blackstone and as a second persuader, it was to be from 9 till 1, and with a double orchestra all the way. So you can just about imagine what this really meant. It proved to be Armour’s biggest and best of the year and of many years. The crowd just about got inside the promised land, and if there had been many more we would have moved the floor out into Grant Park, the orchestra along with it. We all waited patiently for this night and our patience was rewarded beyond expectations when we started to jig at this hop. The whole crew was there from A to Z. This year the date of this annual event was May the 6th. and if the weather were made to order it couldn’t have been better, so all in all, mostly all in about one, we had a time we shall always remember. One Hundred Forty-three Z )t £ pc I f Twentieth Annual Home Concert Armour Institute of Technology Glee and Mandolin Clubs. “The climax of the myriad successes of the Combined Clubs”—read the posters in announcing the big all-school event of the year—the Twentieth An- nual Home Concert of the Glee and Mandolin Clubs—and the posters were right. Postponed from March 24th, the concert was held Wednesday night, April 27th, at the Aryan Grotto Temple, a considerably larger theater than the Clubs have ever before filled. The expressions of complete satisfaction and delight heard on every hand that evening attest the complete success of the concert and give proof of the excellent work not only of the director, Doctor Daniel C. Protheroe, but also of the leaders of the Glee Club and Orchestra. Messrs. Kirkluiff and T. Sedgwick, and of the managers of the combined Clubs, Messrs. Geisler and Grill. The Glee Club led the program with the “Winter Song” and the Orchestra completed the enchantment with “Rose” and “June.” followed closely by the Glee Club with “Mammy's Li’l Pigeon,” and a catchy version of the old stand- by, “Old Black Joe.” Mr. Thompson, assisted by Miss Krumhaar (THE lady in THE concert, if you please), then gave the audience a treat with his solos. Then Mr. K. Sedgwick delivered one of his noted banjo selections, with the Orchestra nearly turning the affair into a dance, so appealing was their ren- dition of “Mammy” which followed. Messrs. H. W. Hcrbst and B. .. Xowa- kowski, assisted by Mr. J. W. McCaffrey at the piano, demonstrated really wonderful violin music, and time alone prevented their satisfying the demands of the audience for encores. On? Hundred Forty-Four Cfje Cpclr We have not space adequate for any but a very brief description of this wonderful occasion and we can only here mention the xylophone solo and other solo and chorus “hits” of both Clubs. Only too soon for everyone was the program concluded—the boys would have stayed till the “wee small hours” to satisfy the encore requests as evidenced by the applause BUT—Calc came on Thursday as usual and our heroes must hie themselves to rest in preparation for some of the unpleasantness that they had dispelled from the minds of all of us. —“The climax of the myriad successes of the Combined Clubs” is right. ■ One Hundred Forty-five Z )t C) cle rRCffinntt-nnno?nntiE Wc Freshmen had been at Armour almost two weeks and were beginning to wonder if Armour really had any spirit when the “great event” occurred. It was posted on the bulletin boards and noised about the halls that the Fresh- man Handshake was to be on Friday night. September 24th, at the Hyde Park Y. M. C. A. We all wondered what the handshake was and most of us had visions of some wild hazing stunt. When the meeting started at eight o’clock, it began to look as if the audi- torium of the “Y” would not hold the crowd. “Spen.se” Havelick was chair- man of the meeting and won the approval of all by his clever manner of handling the program. The Jazz Rand, led by Rudolph Lowe, gave a prelude of some popular songs. Dr. Gunsaulus started the fireworks with a short speech of advice to the new students. Of course all of us were interested in the athletic side of student life and were much interested in the talk of James Bready, who was last year’s basket-ball captain. “Bob’” Bradley showed his usual pep when he proceeded to teach the Armour yells to us, and before he had finished we were able to give “Yea, Armour” with vim. After this John Sanger told of the character and purpose of the “The Armour Engineer” and asked for our support. He was followed by Chase who explained the require- ments for eligibility to the honorary fraternity, Tau Beta Pi. The audience called for Tom Michels to sing and he obligingly did so. After several en- cores he was permitted to sit down and the program continued. The “Cycle” was the subject of Warren McCaffrey’s talk, and Mr. Hollister of the Central Y. M. C. A. explained the relation between the central and student depart- ments of the Y. M. C. A. Some of the members of the Glee Club entertained the audience with school songs, and then the real handshake began. The Freshies filed around and shook hands with every one they met. Some Freshies insulted the upper classmen by shaking hands with each other, each one think- ing the other was a Junior or a Senior. Later, everyone went to the Gym to see the basket-ball game between the Juniors and the Sophomores. The Sophomores came out victorious after a hard fight. After a number of swimming events in the pool, refreshments of doughnuts and coffee were served in the “Y” cafeteria. Many a Freshman felt, after that night, that there was a closer relation- ship between old Armour and himself. Even if he did not remember the name of a single student he had met, he could not help but feel the kindly spirit with which he was greeted as a student of the Armour Institute of Technology.

Smith James Little This organization is not very well known, as far as the student body is concerned, but it is very important in the general and social welfare of our faculty. It is here, during the noon hour, that our professors obtain the rest and relaxation which they need so much after a hard morning in the classroom. In the lounging room are discussed all the momentous problems of the day. It is said that here the National and American League championships are settled long before the deciding games are played. One can well imagine the titanic upheaval which is caused by a discussion between several of our sedate instructors upon such timely subjects as prohibition or the League of Nations. The loan fund, which is held in trust by the club is a great aid to those students who at times may be in need of some ready money for a short time but who have not the business references to obtain it elsewhere. The Faculty Club is a means of bringing the instructors together; it provides a place where they may read and play at their leisure, and is also an aid in promoting team work and clean play among the students of the Institute. One Hundred Forty-nine One Hundred Fifty ■■■■ A sketch of the G!ee and Mandolin Clubs cannot be given without an expression of the feeling of great loss the Clubs suffered in the passing of their staunchest supporter and most loyal critic, the late President of our Alma Mater, Doctor Gunsaulus. Since music was his great stimulus, here was an organization in which he took special pride and interest. There is a unanimity of feeling that the biggest tribute the Clubs can pay to the memory of Doctor Gunsaulus is the successful completion of the work he all along so unreservedly sponsored. The Clubs will continue therefore and their revela- tion of really wonderful work is but their measure of tribute to their big friend, Doctor Gunsaulus. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs have for the past year again been favored with the personal supervision of Doctor Daniel C. Protheroe whose name immediately calls to mind the best mens’ musical clubs of the whole west. His excellent direction together with an exceptionally large amount of talent in the school has this year resulted in an organization that is even eclipsing the successes of the clubs of previous years, during which period they were often favorably compared with clubs of eastern schools that possessed much older traditions. An even fifty men survived the rigorous elimination try-outs for the Glee Club, and subsequent eliminations have brought that number down to forty of the best singers the school has ever known. Mr. Kirkhuff achieved the pleasure of leading this imposing array. The Orchestra which is officially still named the Mandolin Club due to the survival of the old appellation, is an excellently balanced organization of seven men, and its accomplishments reflect great credit on Mr. '1'. Sedgwick for his untiring efforts in the office of Deader. The honors of Manager of both Clubs fell to Mr. Geisler, and with Mr. Grill as Assistant Manager, the business end of the organization has proven a wonderfully big success. At their suggestion we are here remarking that the undivided support given the managership at every turn by every member is the one big factor that has been most conducive to the very excellent show- ing the Clubs have made this year. Though an eight hour program in college is not especially helpful to outside activities, the Clubs are making a name for themselves even far out- side the confines of our own big city. Sh-h-h!—(a secret)—don’t be the least bit surprised to read the formal announcement of the departure of a picked representation of the Clubs for a long jaunt of entertainment this year or, at the latest, by the first part of next year. One Hundred Fifty-one Cycle Space will not here permit of our elaborating on all the engagements which the Clubs have had this year, so it must suffice to say that the season was opened with an appearance at the Saron Lutheran Church, and if there are no big upheavals to cause a sudden change in plans, the season will be closed by a farewell concert of both Clubs as they depart for considerable travel.

Kelley..........................Vice-President H. I. Hultgren........................Chief Operator R. S. Kcnrick..............................Secretary The purpose of the association is the stimulation of interest in all radio matters and other subjects relating thereto, not only among station operators, but also among all others who may be interested. A number of the members have had commercial or Navy operating experience, and prove a great help to the less experienced members. The members of the A. R. A., together with the class in Radio Communication, have carried on some very interesting experiments on Undamped Wave or C. W. Transmission with both buzzer and voice modulation. The spark transmitter, which was installed last year in the Radio Station in Chapin Hall, was dismantled and a C. W. Transmitter, using vacuum tubes as a source of power, was installed. The receiving apparatus has been reconstructed in accordance with the latest developments in radio communication, and signals have been copied with ease from several of the large Transatlantic stations. A special Federal experimental station license has been obtained through the efforts of Professor Wilcox. This provides for the oj eration of a transmitter, either Spark or C. W., over a range of wave-lengths between 200 and 600 Meters. The official call letters of the station, as provided in the license, are 9YL. Actual com- munication has been carried on over a distance of thirty miles, using a single vacuum tube in the transmitting outfit. With the new apparatus which is soon to be installed, it is hoped distances of several hundred miles can be cov- ered. A great deal has been done, but much more can be accomplished in the vast field of Radio. Undoubtedly there are, among the members, many who, along this line, will help the Armour Radio Association to make a name for Armour Institute.

One of the rooms contains a billiard table, which may be used by the members, and the other room is furnished for studying and reading purposes. The department is governed by a Board of Managers, composed of seven faculty and two student members. The student members of the Board of Managers are the President and the Executive Secretary. The object of the Y. M. C. A. is to provide a place of recreation and study, and to raise the standard of morals of the student body. Any student may join, as the Association is not denominational. A student membership in this department entitles the holder to the house privileges at any Y. M. C. A. It also gives the students reduced rates when joining any of the city depart- ments.

E. has had a very successful year, which was primarily due to the adoption of a “Meeting Schedule” and the rigid adherence thereto. Meetings were held regularly every other Wednesday and were well attended. The opening meeting of the year was held on October 8, 1920. Prof. Gebhardt gave the opening address in which he outlined the object of the society, which is to enable men to talk before an audience, using good English, and to overcome any self-consciousness. He also brought to our attention the importance of engineers entering into public life more, in order that each one might gain for himself that recognition which is due him, but which, to the present date, he has been too modest to demand. 'Pile society held two general meetings to which all Mechanical Engineering Students were invited. The first of these was held in the Mission Building on January 12, 1921. The program consisted of an educational motion picture film on “Clark Motor Truck Axles.” The second was the Annual Smoker given in the rooms of the Armour Y. M. C. A. on February 25, 1921. Prof. Gebhardt, the speaker of the evening, again outlined the object of the society for the benefit of the Freshmen, and emphasized the value of extemporaneous speech. Several other professors were called upon to say a few words, and their ready response showed that the “True Armour Spirit” is still prevalent among the faculty. The society wishes to extend its thanks to the faculty for its generous aid in making this a successful year. One Hundred Sixty-luo One Hundred Sixty-three wmmmmm I-Ioven. Rupprecht. Webster, Plocar.

The short addresses given under this plan were found to be of more value to the A. I. E. E. members than a few longer addresses by graduate members, as the local branch meetings were made places for the students to train themselves in speaking, besides being places for the transfer of technical knowledge. At the meetings of the society which have been held every two weeks, every member willingly took part as a speaker and helped by his snap and ginger to make this the successful year that it was. The topics chosen as sub- jects of discussion by the various members were chosen either from their own practical experience or from knowledge gained by study, and related to a great many branches of electrical engineering. At the meeting of December 13, 1920, an exception was made to the rule of having only student members speak, and an Armour graduate of 1918, Leslie Weiss, addressed the society, his subject being, “The Outlook for the 1921 Graduates.” The principal speaker at the A. I. E. E. smoker which was given on February 26, 1921, in the Mission Building, was our own Professor Freeman. He attempted to kindle in the members a true appreciation of what was ex- pected of them after the completion of their school courses and their entrance into the practical world. Basing his talk upon the compiled results obtained from over 5,000 engineers, he discussed the qualities desired in young engineers. In the order of their importance the various qualities were: Character, Judg- ment, Efficiency, Understanding of Men, Knowledge, and Technique of Prac- tice. The value of the ideas conveyed to the members in this speech cannot be overestimated and they wish to take this opportunity of expressing their thanks to him.

Professor Phillips at the first meeting of the year, reminded the students of the goal of the society, and the duties of the individual members.

Among the speakers at subsequent meetings were: Dean Monin, who spoke in his usual interesting manner on some of his vocation adventures, and Mr. Langdon Pearce, who as Chief Engineer for the Sanitary District of Chicago, was fully capable of discussing “The Modern Methods of Sewage Disposal.” A number of interesting and instructive inspection visits were made during the past year, among which were trips to the following: The Michigan Avenue Bridge, Franklin-Orleans Street Bridge, A Fifteen Foot Interlocking Sewer, City Bridges, Breakwaters, and Cribs, Lockport and Joliet Power Plants, Controlling Works of the Sanitary District at Lockport. The past year lias seen this organization expand and become an important cog in the department of Civil Engineering, and the members look hopefully toward the future for the continuation and enlargement of their past success.

Emil F. Winter.................................President Warren McCaffrey .........................Vice-President Walter Savoye..................................Secretary Harry Ahlbeck .................................Treasurer The A. Ch. E. S. was organized shortly after the Chemical Engineering Department was established for the purpose of bringing the students in chem- ical engineering into closer contact with one another, and to assist them in their pursuance of that branch of study by lectures from the members of the alumni, faculty, and professional men engaged in chemical engineering work. Added to this was the desire to have members address the society at frequent intervals and thus to acquire the confidence and facility of speech so valuable in professional life, as well as the technical knowledge also available. The A. Ch. E. S. held its first meeting and annual election on September 29, 1920. It was decided to hold meetings on Tuesdays at 4 P. M. about three weeks apart, and to have outside speakers, preferably alumni, deliver lectures on various subjects of interest to the members. We were unfortunate in not being able to attend meetings in sufficient numbers to warrant having men well known in the Chemical Profession address us. One of our best lectures was delivered by Mr. H. Sieck, T4, on “Cocoanut Oil Refining.” Mr. Sieck is Assistant General Manager of the American Cocoanut Oil Refining Co. At a meeting held on February 25, it was decided to change the time and type of meetings. Two smokers, one to be held on April 12, and another at a later date, and a banquet, to be held in the latter part of May, were decided upon. At these smokers, which are to be held in the evening in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, we hope to have present all of the faculty and alumni of the Chemical Engineering Department. The prestige which the Chemical Engineering Department is enjoying nationally is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that the school has been granted a chapter of Phi Lambda Upsilon, a national honorary chemical fraternity.

Ryan.....................................Treasurer The class of 1921 had a rather unfortunate college career because its four years extended through the war and reconstruction period. The society which probably felt most keenly the restrictions of the relentless “Mars was the Armour Architectural Society. This year, however, they have gone back to their pre-war activities and pre-war pep. On Monday, November 15, 1920, the society held its annual initiation and banquet in the club rooms of the Art Institute. In terms of a very old and much quoted phrase it may be said, “an enjoyable time was had by all, including the initiates. No casualties were reported and the Freshmen were able to be seated at the banquet table. The speaker of the evening was Andre’ N. Rebori, the'noted Chicago architect. Mr. Rebori gave a very interesting talk, touched often with his genial humor and pleasant satire. He was followed in order by Mr. Campbell, Mr. Kriehbiel, and Mr. MeCaughey, who each spoke a few words of sound advice to the initiates. The Architects arc justly proud of their showing in the recent New York competition, where Massier Hofmeester won a second medal and four other members of the senior class took mentions. Mr. Conner has also materially contributed to the good showing of the organization by winning his third medal on the Paris Prize Sketch. One Hundred Seventy z )t CjPC'lr THE FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE A. S. M. E. Philip D. Sang..........................President George Ruddiman ...................Vice-President Leo L. Reihmer .........................Secretary The Freshman-Sophomore A. S. M. E. was organized for the prime pur- pose of enabling Freshmen and Sophomores to gain practice in public speaking, both on technical and general subjects and it is successfully accomplishing this object. The meetings throughout the year have been well attended and there never was a lack of speakers. In fact, there was always an overabundance of men willing to talk, and they were glad when their opportunity came to ad- dress the society. The organization was inoculated with even more than its usual high order of enthusiasm when they had the pleasure of hearing an address by Professor H. L. Nachman, of the Mechanical Engineering Department. Professor Nach- man has taken an interest in this society and at the time of this writing the organization is planning an inspection trip under his guidance. This will be the first trip of its kind under the auspices of the organization and it promises to be a very instructive one. The attitude of the members during the past year has been one worthy of mention, and all indications seem to prophesy that the Freshman-Sophomore A. S. M. E. will continue to grow in importance as a meeting place of Fresh- men and Sophomore mechanical engineering students. One Hundred Seventy-tuo El)f Cl’Clf I Ruddiman. Miller.

President Kingsley delivered a very unique opening address, setting forth the object and aims of the society, after which plans for the future were discussed. It was de- cided that the old constitution of the society would not meet the present needs and a committee was appointed to revise it. The members were then entertained by Professor Finnegan, head of the department of hire Protection Engineering, who gave a very interesting and helpful talk on the need of technical men in the insurance field. Due to the lack of a faculty leader because of the sudden and severe ill- ness of Professor Finnegan, the society has not been very active in the past year; however, the ice has been broken, and it is with genuine anticipation that its members look forward to a year of activity and future enlargement and expansion.

And all we have is now. Oh. what’s the use of courting The shadows and the rain; Our present golden moments Will never come again. Oh, what’s the use of grieving O’er what life might have been; Let’s get a hustle on us, Go in the fight—and win. And this our daily motto: To do some gracious deed:— The kindly word, the loving act To some poor soul in need. There is but one ambition That’s noble, just and true; It is, to do to others as You would they’d do to you. Each happy habit stronger grows; We’re creatures of our thought And in the last account, we’ll get Exactly what we’ve sought. The sun is shining o’er us, God’s blessings all are ours, If we but winnow out the weeds And pluck the perfumed flowers. Ilie C?de THE STARS AND STRIPES Then came a great shout about the flag. “Let me tell you who I am. “The work that we do is the making of the real flag. “I am not the flag, not at all. I am but its shadow. “I am whatever you make me, nothing more. “I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a people may become. “I live a changing life, a life of moods and passions, of heartbreaks and tired muscles. “Sometimes I am strong with pride, when men do an honest work, fitting the rails together truly. “Sometimes I droop, for then purpose has gone from me and cynically I play the coward. “Sometimes I am loud, garish and full of that ego that blasts judgment. “But always I am all that you hope to be and have the courage to try for. “I am song and fear, struggle and panic, and ennobling hope. “I am the day’s work of the weakest man and the largest dream of the most daring.” “I am the Constitution and the courts, statutes and statute-makers, soldier and dreadnought, drayman and street-sweep, cook, counselor and clerk. “I am the battle of yesterday and the mistake of tomorrow. “I am the mystery of the men who do without knowing why. “I am the clutch of an idea and the reasoned purpose of resolution. “I am no more than what you believe me to be and I am all that you believe I can be. “I am what you make me, nothing more. “I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of your- self, the pictured suggestion of that big thing which makes this nation. My stars and my stripes are your dreams and your labors. They are bright with cheer, brilliant with courage, firm with faith because you have made them so out of your hearts, for you arc the makers of the flag, and it is well that you glory in the making.” THE RIGHT KIND OF A GIRL. Let a girl be ever so graceful in the dance; let her be ever so elegant of walk across the drawing-room, ever so bright in conversation, she must possess some other qualities to convince the great average run of young men that she can be the manager of his home, the pilot that steers his ship of state. Frugality, womanly instincts of love for home, an eye to the best interest of her husband and the careful training of her children—these are the traits which make the good wife of today, and which young men look for in the girls they meet. Men may sometimes give the impression that they do not care for common sense in their sweethearts, but there is nothing they so unfailingly demand of their wives.

As the patriots of 76 did to support the Constitution and Laws let every American pledge his life, his property and sacred honor. Let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children’s liberty. “Let reverence for the Laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in the schools, in seminaries, and in colleges: let it be written in primers, spelling books and al- manacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislative halls and enforced in the courts of justice. “In short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.” In character uplifting, With words, deeds, and song. “Moral engineers,” He was wont to say, Are the engineers most needed to-day.

One Hundred Eighty-one THE TAX ON SPORTING GOODS IS UNJUST An agitation was begun some time ago which lias now reached National proportions urging the repeal of the 10% war tax on sporting goods, and practically every National Amateur Organization has gotten behind the move- ment and hundreds of thousands of individuals, also. Peter P. Carney and Hugh Fullerton, two of the best known sports writers in the United States, have written quite a number of articles showing the unsoundness of the tax, how it prevents the play of the youth of America, and its future effect on the Nation. These writers now ask that every student of every institution become interested in this movment and urge for the repeal of the tax. Everything you purchase to be used for any sport playing, whether it be a snow shoe, a tennis racquet, a golf ball, or a hunting jacket is taxed 10% before it leaves the manufacturing plant. The consumer pays this tax and some times more. You will note the unjustness of this tax when you note that automobiles, diamonds, etc., are only taxed 5%. We know automobiles and diamonds are luxuries but very few things in the line of sporting goods that boys use are luxuries. The Government itself does not believe that sporting goods are luxuries, because during the war the soldiers got their sporting equipment first. They were necessities then. They are necessities now. They were taxed 3% during the war, That was all right. We know that the Government needs money and sportsmen are willing to pay taxes, but few of us believe that Uncle Sam should tax the kids to play. That is just what this tax amounts to. Statistics of past years show that 70 per cent of the sporting goods manu- factured were sold to bovs and girls under the age of 18. Last year the figures were 73 per cent. This year sporting goods are a drug on the market. The boy isn’t playing. He can’t afford to. It is up to every one of us to make a fight for the boy, for the future generation, because we are interested in the welfare of the nation even though the lawmakers cannot see the big idea. We believe that Congress thought it was soaking the professional ball player when it put on this tax. If they did they failed for the professional baseball leagues do not use more than one per cent of the sporting goods made and the ball players do not pay for any of this. We ask you in behalf of the kids of the United States that you write your Congressman and Senator urging the immediate repeal of this tax. You can tell him in your own way just why the tax should be repealed. Write your letters today. Get your friends to write. If you are a member of an organiza- tion get the club to adopt resolutions on the tax and send them to Washington. The Amateur Athletic Union, the United States Lawn Tennis Association, the Golf Association, the American Trapshooting Association, and many other organizations are very much interested in this campaign from the standpoint of the youth of America and it would be fine if you would cast your lot with theirs. One Hundred Eighty-tuo ®(jt Cyclr THE VISIT OF THE SENIOR CLASS TO THE PLANT OF ARMOUR AND COMPANY AT THE UNION STOCK YARDS, CHICAGO. ILLINOIS. On Thursday, February 17th, 1921, at the invitation of Mr. P. D. Armour, the entire Senior Class of the Institute and about twenty professors inspected the plant of Armour and Company at the Union Stock Yards. The men assembled in the Armour and Company gymnasium at 8:45 in the morning and were divided into groups according to their various courses. Each group was guided by an expert, in its particular branch of engineering. The Mechan- ical students were led by men from the Master Mechanic’s office, the Chemical students by men from the Chemical Department, etc. The entire body was taken as a unit through the killing, butchering, and curing departments of the plant. Here they saw the cattle, sheep, and swine killed, strung up by their rear legs to a carriage which moved slowly along an overhead track, and passed before a series of men each of whom per- formed some definite work upon the body. The efficiency obtained by the minute division of labor is great. This was attested to by the neatness and accuracy with which the various cuts were made, and by the fact that within 72 hours from the time the animals entered the killing pen, the meat was cured, packed, and on the shipping platform. After the trip through this part of the plant, the men separated into the groups previously assigned and visited those parts of the plant which were of particular interest to them. The Mechanical students were shown through the power plant and the cold storage warehouse; the Chemical stu- dents saw the laboratories and the oleomargarine plant; and the Electrical students saw the lighting system and the generators. This part of the trip proved the most valuable, interesting, and instructive of all. About 12:00 o’clock the men reassembled in the gymnasium, and after having their picture taken, went up to the lunch room in the main building There a most excellent luncheon was served them as the guests of Mr. Armour One Hundred Eighty-three {je Cycle After the meal, Mr. P. I). Armour, who acted as toastmaster, gave a short talk on the relation between Armour and Company and the Armour Institute of Technology. He then called upon Mr. Walter C. White, Vice- President of the White Motors Company of Cleveland, Ohio, who responded with a short talk on the future of the motor truck industry. Mr. Guy Noble of the Department of Agricultural Research and Economics of Armour and Company, and Mr. Wilson P. Evans of the Department of Motive Power, spoke on the work of their respective branches. Mr. Armour then called upon President Gunsaulus of the Institute, who concluded the meeting with a few of his usual well chosen remarks. This visit was an event of unsual importance. It marks what seems to he the beginning of a new era in the relations between Armour and Companv and the Armour Institute of Technology. Mr. Armour suggested that this visit of the Senior class to the plant in the stockyards be made an annual occurrence, and President Gunsaulus proposed as a date for it, some day between Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays. To the members of the Senior Class of 1921, this visit will be a lasting and pleasant memory. ®f)t Cvcle SEIOR CLASS IN ARMOUR CO. GYMNASIUM ®1)t C i� c I r ■ One Hundred Eighty-six ■■■■■■■■■■ ®f)t c?tlf SUMMER CAMP One Hundred Eighty-seven ARMOUR SUMMER CAMP, 1920, TROUT LAKE, WIS. It was with light hearts that, on the morning of June 5, after a stiff night of poker, our young engineers stepped off the train at Minocqua. Our first step was to look over that Wisconsin metropolis. This was done in fifteen minutes, the most interesting part being an old cannon, placed conspicuously near the station. The arrival of Charlie’s “Toonerville Trolley” necessitated our leaving this frontier burg for parts unknown. It did not take us long to realize that an A. I. T. graduate was not the builder of this railroad. We had no time to contemplate however, for the rolling of the train had a lethargic effect upon us. We were awakened by Charlie’s cry of “State House.” Here, carrying our instruments and suit cases, we alighted. Our dreams were realized as we viewed our surroundings. Trees were all about us. We could imagine animals roaming about. But these were left for the time being as a square meal was uppermost in our minds. Since no welcome committee or “jitney” awaited us, we were left to find our camp alone. This we did with little difficulty, where we lost no time in getting to our tents and rooms and arranging them to our own satisfaction. This was followed by a meal which left us in the best of spirits. The afternoon was spent in getting used to our surroundings. The next day being Sunday, we were left to our own pleasures. Since the nearest church was 15 miles away, we resorted to games such as 500 and checkers. Hikes were made to Trout Lake Station and Boulder Junction. The latter consisted of a hotel soft-drink bar-room, a few stores and five houses. It was rumored that the town was infested with lumber-jack desperadoes whose pet aversion was the city chap. However, the rumor was groundless for not a single lumber-jack was sighted. We received our first lesson in surveying on Monday. This consisted in the use of the tape. The succeeding days were spent in traversing, leveling, topographic surveying with rod, stadia and plane table, railroad location, cross-sectioning, triangulation, sounding, measuring the flow of streams, and sighting on the sun for azimuth. A few nights were spent in sighting upon Polaris. Under the able guidance of Profs. Phillips and Armstrong and Mr. Singer, we had little difficulty in becoming proficient surveyors. All was not work however, though at times it was difficult to find a suitable place where we could lie down and not be molested by the sun and flies. An evening class in “500” was readily organized. Those expert in the game were found to be able instructors. Evening hikes were made to near-by lakes and various summer resorts. Of the latter the Rocky Reef Resort was the most popular. Here, under the guidance of the K. M.’s some of the boys learned to play that most interesting game called “Ouiji,” in which O. G. Smith and Bob Mayo became most proficient. Our enjoyment here was short- lived since the proprietor, for some unknown reason, took a violent dislike to the Armour boys. Enjoyment was then made by hauling various students from their beds and tossing them gently, but firmly, into the waters of Trout Lake. This was soon done away with since the howling of the mob disturbed the slumber of our esteemed cook, Mrs. MacDonald. One Hundred Eighty-eight I Cljr Cpclr ■! One Hundred Eighty-nine jt Cj� cle Our Saturday afternoons and Sundays were spent in wood-chopping, hiking, rowing, and swimming. Frequent visits were made to Minocqua where the small town life could he enjoyed. This town was visited by the. students in a body on Independence Day. The patriotic celebration which was held was headed by a parade of Indians and ex-service men. In the latter group, Camp Armour was well represented. The parade was followed by various races, an Indian dance, and a baseball game. In the evening a public dance was held, at which, Camp Armour was again well represented. Upon another Saturday, a game of baseball was played by Camp Armour and Camp Sprague. In this game the Armour nine proved victorious, the score being 8 to 5. The monotony of camp life was at times broken by severe storms. Dur- ing one of these storms, one tent was blown down, two others ripped by the wind, and general havoc was raised. This however, was not disastrous and the camp went on as usual on the following day. Monotony was broken also, by the arrival of letters and packages from “Chi.” We would advise all future campers to cultivate the acquaintance of a few good cake and candy makers before leaving home. It was with much regret that, on July 16th, we packed our trunks, took down the tents and took our last swim in Trout Lake. We were now ready for our trip back to the big city. We had done our work under the condi- tions which we would have to face as engineers. It was but an introduction to our life’s work. Upon this introduction our career is, in a way based, for, to be successful in the initiation leaves more than hope for success in the future.

Other speakers were Dean Raymond, Dean Monin, Mr. R. M. Henderson, and Prof. Wilcox. The Alumni dance was held in the Red Room of the LaSalle Hotel, Friday evening, February 4th. 1921. Everyone had a very enjoyable time, as the orchestra was excellent and the floor never was in better condition. The Alumni Association is a live organization, but some of the former graduates do not seem to realize the benefits to be gained by keeping in touch with the rest of the alumni. The Association wishes to hear from all the alumni, especially concerning their activities since leaving their Alma Mater.

IN SUPPORT OF ATHLETICS Come on ye folks to Armour’s game; I et’s lift its banner high. Let’s put above all else its name, Above its battle cry, And spread broadcast its laureled fame, To live, and never die. Yells never fail to cheer the boys, To lead them in the light, And swell the halls with thunderous noise To show the Armour might, And give Athletics fighting poise With muscles tense and tight. Commanded by an able coach Her teams cannot be beat; When foreign schools do but approach They sense their sure defeat, And leave accepting with reproach The usual Armour treat. Let nothing stop your full support Of her athletic men; Be at the games, show you’re a sport, Drop both your book and pen. Come out and cheer for ’tis import They do their deeds again. E’rc you go home be sure you’ve looked To see if on the lx ard Another game with us is booked; Another victory stored; And then you know the goose is cooked For schools who think they have us hooked, For Armour is the lard. With your support we’ll always win, In any scrape be’t thick or thin, vSo to the games come from now on And do not shirk when called upon.

Two Hundred Thirty-six warn worn JElje Cycle mamammmmmam i PHI LAMBDA UPS I LON By authority of the Executive Council, there was installed in Mav 1920, at the Armour Institute of Technology, a chapter of the national honorary fraternity of Phi Lambda Upsilon. Phi Lambda Upsilon was founded at the University of Illinois, as a local honor society within the chemical department. While the honorary idea was paramount from the first, the original chapter combined with this certain social phases, and included in its organization some of the attributes of the Greek Letter Societies whose aims are preliminarily social; such as grips, pass words, secret mottos. After a number of years of flourishing existence at Illinois, during which it had achieved a well established po- sition, expansion into a society of national scope was initiated with the es- tablishment of the Beta Chapter at the University of Wisconsin (1906.) At Wisconsin the chapter was at first mainly graduate. This first step toward national development was followed by rather rapid extension, chapters being installed successively at Columbia, Michigan, University of Washington. Minnesota, Ohio State, Iowa State, Stanford, University of Denver, Cali- fornia, Pennsylvania State, Purdue, University of Pittsburgh and Armour. Accompanying numerical growth were changes in details of organiza- tion. Great latitude in organization and government is permitted individual chapters by the national body, the old time “mystery stuff” has been almost abandoned, and the society as a whole stands in the field of chemistry as does the Sigma Xi in the broad field of Science, for the encouragement of high standards of scholarship and for the recognition of those students of chemistry who attain high academic standing through their combined ablity and effort. There are now four classes of membership in Phi Lambda Upsilon. namely; Active, alumni, associate and honorary. Hororary members, to quote the constitution of the society “shall be men of national reputation.” Quoting further from the same source, “associ- ate members shall be men of recognized ability in their respective branches of chemistry, and connected with an institution of learning in a capacity other than that of student, either graduate or undergraduate.” Active mem- bership consists of graduate and undergraduate students duly elected and may include associate members. The constitution of the society provides that membership be confined to men , It is hoped and believed that the newly organized chapter will maintain the excellent traditions of the society as a whole and that it may be a factor for good in our chemical department.

The fundamental idea of the formation of the Society was that of bettering and promoting athletics in the Armour Insitute of Technology. The Society has proved very beneficial in securing material for the teams and has stimulated competition for the positions on the various teams. The following sections taken from the constitution will illustrate the pur- pose of the Society: Article 2. Sect. 1. To serve as a working unit for all “A” men in discussion of athletic questions. Sect. 2. To procure and preserve all records of athletic teams. Article 3. Sect. 1. Any student in the Armour Institute of Technology who has won a letter in any of the three major sports; Basketball,, Baseball or Track is eligible to membership. The existence of the Society was threatened by the war, during which period all athletic activities were discontinued. The Society was maintained, however, by two members who graduated with the Class of '20, ,namely, Ira J. Bready and William Erickson. The membership has been steadily increas- ing since the war and today the Society is more active than ever before. This year the idea was formulated of sending complimentary annual athletic tickets and schedules to all Alumni “A men, and the plans were car- ried out with great success. It was also decided to present each “A” man with a certificate of membership, containing his athletic record while in the Armour Institute of Technology. Plans are being made for the annual athle- tic banquet, to be held in May, which will be the first since the beginning of the war. Two Hundred Forty-six ■ ®fje Cycle Wj mi ■ Cfte Cycle i WENDELL M.

Prof. S.: “Where were you Tues- day, Mr. Corydon?” Jeff: “I had a tootache and had to go to the dentist.” Prof. S.: “That's too bad: has it stopped now?” Jeff: “I don't know.” Prof. S.: “You don’t know? How's that?” Jeff: “The dentist kept the tooth.” PLACARDS AT OUR LUNCH FOUNDRY. Don’t make fun of the coffee. You may be old and weak yourself some- day. Be careful of the sugar, use only one spoon, and stir like H—1. We don’t mind the noise. Don’t kick if the doughnuts have large holes. It takes more dough to go around a large hole.

He worked three weeks this season, and hence saved quite a sum. His high-brow daughter Milli, and his sporty son Ab, Said I)ad you’d better loosen up, its time a car we’ve had. You can never lead society, it behind on feet you lag. So Dad who wished to be a leader in true 400 style, Bought a compound Maxwell, guaranteed steen thousand miles. It had shock absorbing spark plugs, and a compensating reader, Giving 90 miles to the gallon, which was quite some power-factor. The meter was equipped with a shunt and series winding, In order to impede the ohms when bent on hill climbing. The valves were of the latest type, the Fleming rectifier, They worked in one direction only. Brother! you should hear the back-fire. The pistons were laminated and, of course, that helped to coulomb. You could run all day on second, honest I aint foolin. The cylinders had synchronizers to keep them all in step. And an audien bulb in the carbureter added considerable pep. The ignition had hysterisis, eddy-currents and flux, Turning the engine over sounded like a flock of ducks. The rear axle had a drop of 40 millivolts, you could run over a hair-pin and never get a jolt. The wheel-base was shorted by the low resistance of the springs, But that didn’t phase the honker, which was equipped with collector-rings. The transmission was selective, with a double Peltier effect, Regenerating an e. m. f. to keep the car in check. There were alternating headlights, with two-stage amplifiers. Giving 40 candle-power or perhaps a little higher. And a grounded wind-shield to damp out all the draughts, Gilbert Henry had some boat, it was built to stand the gaff.

THEY ARE NOT BLOODHOUNDS Two Hundred Sixty Cpde THE DEATH OF SIMON LE GREE. “Fireman ! Save my cheeild,” she cried, As the waiter brought the soup. Out on the stern and rock bound coast, The walrus looped the loop. But father could not go that night. As grandma had the croup. It was midnight on the ocean, Not a street car was in sight. The sun was shining brightly, And it rained all day that night. It was on a summer night in winter, The rain was snowing fast. A barefoot boy with shoes on, Was sitting on the grass. It was evening, and the rising sun, Was setting in the west. And the little fishes in the trees, Were huddling in their nest. The rain was pouring down, The moon was shining bright, And everything that you could see, Was hidden out of sight. While the organ peeled potatoes, Lard was rendered by the choir. While the sexton rung the dish rag, Some one set the church on fire. “Holy smoke!” the preacher shouted, In the rain he lost his hair. Now his head resembles Heaven, For there is no parting there. ®fyt €v£ i THE HYDROXY—HYDROXIDE PRECIPITATION OF TIN FROM GELATIN. The only evidence we have of the presence of tin in gelatin lies in the name itself. The first part of the name probably comes from the Greek word gelan which means “to laugh”. The latter part, which is tin itself leads us to conclude that gelatin is tin which makes us laugh which is in certain aspects an appropriate name. With this conclusive evidence of its presence in gelatin it remains to derive a procedure for its precipitation by the hydroxy-hydroxide method. Since tin is a compound composed of the elements nitrogen and sulphur, which is readily seen from the formula S-n, it is evident that we must obtain the nitrogen and sulphur which are present in the gelatin in forms, such that they will readily combine. In the process of hydrolysis of gelatin we find that amino-acids are formed, of which the amino-acetic is formed in the largest amounts. The amino-acetic acid on treatment with nitrous acid gives the reaction characteristic of all primary amines, which in this case liberates nitrogen with the formation of methyl alcohol. The free nitrogen is then heated in a vacuum with the element argon resulting in the formation of the «solid nitrogen argide which has the formula Na, better known as sodium. The sodium is very active and with the addition of water, sodium hydroxide is formed. Turning to the methyl alcohol we first convert it into ethane by the Grignyard reaction and then burn it to elementary carbon. The elementary carbon so formed is very inactive and it is first dissolved in water. The solution of carbon is slowly brought to a point of supersaturation before the carbon is reprecipitated. The precipitation is brought about by the addi- tion of several diamonds which are thrown into the solution. This is in compliance with the fact that solids separate out very rapidly from a super- saturated solution if at least one crystal is present. The carbon in this form is exceedingly active and combines readily with the sulphur, which is present in the gelatin, with the formation of Cs at a temperature of about —272.9 C. The Cs is then brought in contact with pure Ca with the result that the carbon precipitates. This precipitation is brought about by the Wurtz re- action on the passing of an electric current between two carbon electrodes. With the depostion of the carbon we have in the solution a substance with the formula As or arsenic. The arsenic is treated with the alpha hydroxy- hydroxide of platinum and a compound of the formula H-O-H-O-As is formed. This compound assumes the valence of hydrogen as two but at the present time very few doubt its existence. This hydroxide of arsenic is brought together with the sodium hydroxide and AsNa results with the loss of. water and oxygen. When this is heated in a bomb at a temperature of about 1000 C. with very dilute denatured alcohol the molecule of argon A.,, is dissolved out with precipitation of Sn or Tin. Two Hundred Sixty-two ®fjt Cycle FRATS A frat is an organization of which each member admits that he is the best fellow on earth, and that his frat brothers are the next best fellows on earth. All outside of his frat are absolutely nil. The word frat comes from the English “fraternity’’ which is simply the American term with a few useless letters added on. The English word in turn comes from the Latin; but almost all frats are Greek letter frats, so that all this business sounds good, but doesn’t mean anything. A frat is composed of active, and charter members, and a few hapless individuals called pledges. A charter member is the l est fellow on earth, although he is the only one who would admit it, so that he started a frat of his own. An active member is a student who has joined a fraternity, and so far has been lucky enough not to be kicked out of school. A pledge is a poor bloke who is privileged to do all the dirty work for the actives until such a time as they deem him one of the best fellows on earth, at which time they will do their best to maim him for life, and failing in this, will make him an active. The process of maiming is called initiation. Now there are eleven frats, and so called frats. at Armour. In case any of the readers be tempted to join any of diese outfits, they will do well to read the dope published below. PHI KAPPA SIGMA The Phi Kaps owe their existence to John Schommer, the faculty member. John’s influence with the alderman of the second ward keeps the chapter together, as he has them freed from all of their sentences. This keeps the chapter together, as they would Ik sent to different prisons, and the chapter thus split up. To join the Phi Kaps you must be able to prove that you have accomplished a crime of the magnitude of arson, or murder. The murder of a top sergeant will not count, however, as there were two or three in this outfit who have not been murdered as yet. The Phi Kaps have two rules which are very poor. They arc: 1. Members are not allowed to commit murder within the chapter. 2. Members must return all goods which they are caught purloining from brother members. These are bad points, of course, but the many goods points overbalance these. This frat contains such notables as: String Bean Zingheim, the noble baseball captain; Sgt. Geisler of S. A. 'I'. C. fame, who attains double dis- tinction by piloting the Glee Club to financial ruin, and by wearing a mis- placed eyebrow on his upper lip. DELTA TAU DELTA The Delts used to be the social lions at Armour, but since A1 Davis drank out of his finger bowl at a banquet, the chapter has rapidly declined. The Delts have pink teas every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon at 4 bells. Here you may meet all of the members except Reggie Maguire and Gus Wells, who are not allowed to attend, the former because he persists in spit- ting tobacco juice on the wall paper, and the latter because he giggles when Woods sings his soprano solo. One may also find Bradley, Gray, and Stantial dancing on a dime apiece at the Armour dances. A Dclt pledge used to make a good living selling the empty bottles at one cent a piece, but since prohibition, the members have taken to drinking vanilla extract and Green River. The bottles of the former are valueless, and the latter is usually Two Hundred Sixty-four ®fje Cj� de gotten at the drug store, so that the bottle business is no more. The Dclts have the distinction of possessing the biggest Nutt in school. The Delts also have such notables as: Woods and Rowe, the Mutt and Jeff of A. I. T.; Pfafflin, who admits that Apollo was ugly and misshapen compared with him; and Bradley, who. although he would rather study than go to a dance, curbs his desires, and does otherwise. OMEGA LAMBDA It is a very bad plan to join the Omega Lambda fraternity just now, all because of one member. This member is Marcey Dowse, who utilizes his enormous bulk and brute strength to chastise and maim his fellow mem- bers. Dowse seems to become enraged at very small matters; it is said that he threw the grand piano at Peterson, and hurled little John Thompson through a window, just because these two called him Dowse, instead of Mr. Dowse, as he deemed a Senior should be called. Dowse also hit Bill Kingsley over the head with a chair for spilling his water at the table. Of course Bill’s head was not hurt, but both of his ankles were sprained, so that he was out of school for over a week. These are not the only ones whom Dowse has manhandled, as every night or so he cripples three or four of his frat brothers. However there are a few such notables as: Thompson, the Mellin’s food boy; Webster, the amateur minister: Peterson, the honored Junior class president; Kingsley, the hard working F. P.; and Brueckner, who got 72 vegetable bouquets at last year’s Junior play. Any one who is thinking of joining this outfit had better wait until next year, when Dowse will have graduated, and life will once more be free from the danger of personal injury, for all of the members . SIGMA KAPPA DELTA The Sigma Kappa Delta is certainly an awful frat to belong to. In the first place the members are not allowed out alone after dark. In the second place, they must have a chaperon when they visit a young lady. These arc protective measures—not for the members, but for others. The members are not allowed out alone after dark because the Deans dislike the idea of the students earning their living with a black jack. Chaperons are required be- cause most of tlie S. K. D.’s forget that they are visiting, and return home with the young lady’s jewelry and usually the family silver. Often they are not suspected, but when they are there is sometimes trouble, as some of the people want their valuables returned. Consequently this frat has its official chaperons. The official chaperons used to be Doolittle and Savoye Herbst and Herbst, and Corydon and Hagen. However Savoye resigned his position because Kirkhuff would not let him carry home a library table which lie had won from Doolittle in a crap game. Savoye and Doolittle were chaperoning Kirkhuff at a young ladies’ residence near 65th street and Normal avenue. Kirkhuff based his refusal on the fact that the chaperon were not tending to duty, but were gambling. Savoye replied that Kirkhuff had gotten them into the game, and then gone into the other room with the young lady. However after this hearing Savoye resigned, and Doolittle was canned. The Herbst brothers were also canned, as they always got into fights over who was to pay the carfare home, and many times broke furniture and windows in their arguments. Some people considered this an annoyance, so that the Herbsts were given the gate by request. There are now only Corydon and Hagen as chaperons, as none were appointed to take the place of the others. Consequently only one S. K. D. can go out each night, which is certainly a terrible condition. Two Hundred Sixty-five Viit Cj clf There are a few notables in this outfit: Jeff Corydon, who did his best to run this year’s Cycle into debt; Jimmy Watt, who discovered that mole- cules divided by electrons gives the number of amperes in a volt; Scabcrg, who makes away with the Junior class dues; and the Herbst brothers, Mike and Ike, who are sometimes friends, even though brothers. BETA PHI Beta Phi consists of a bunch of loafers who spend their lime as fresh- men in shooting baskets up in Charlie’s emporium instead of copying the details of nuts and bolts from the fellow next to them in Prof. Reid’s sanctum, as they should have done. They were the same way with all of their subjects, always flunking everything but gym at least once. Beta Phi has a house, but a very few of the members have ever been in it. as they all spend all of their time over at the Chicago College of Physical Education, where most of them are known well enough to sponge two or three meals a day. All of the rest at least keep the living room chairs in place, each one with the assistance of a fair student of the C. C. P. E., who also assists in keeping her Beta Phi friend in the chair. If you are not willing to flunk all of your subjects, and spend all of your time at the C. C. P. E., you had better steer clear of this outfit. The notables in this gang are mostly athletes, Mexican and otherwise. RHO DELTA RHO This bunch consists of a gang of misfits who always come into all of the basketball games before the ticket collector gets there. However, the fame of this outfit is due to its initiations, which are terrible ordeals lasting eleven days. During this time those being initiated are not allowed to eat, sleep, or rest. After the eleven days are over, the victims run a race to Oak Park and back, the winner being rewarded with the privilege to sleep for half an hour on the horizontal bar in the gym, after which he may break his fast with a copper plated linoleum pancake. Anyone who thinks that they can go through with the initiation is privileged to join. There is nothing to this frat but the pin and the initiation, so that anyone is safe in joining. THE OHR The Ohr is a half baked frat, which means that the deans think that it is not a frat. while the members think that it is. It is a pretty good idea to join the Ohr, as almost all of the members own hock shops where you can pick up some good things cheap, if you are a member. Most of this outfit admit that they arc intellectual, but they have kept it such a secret that nobody else knows it. The worst thing about the Ohr is that the pledges are not allowed to talk to their girls. The notables in this bunch are Newman and Maranz, who made last year’s Cycle what it was; and Carl Unger, who blows a wicked sax. TAU BETA PI Tail Beta Pi is an honorary frat, which means that all of the members have gotten marks of A, or lower, during their career at Armour. The chapter consists of a long string of intellectual profs, and a few students, who admit that they are the cream of the school as far as brains go. The only requirements for admission are that you have a pair of tortoise shell- rimmed glasses in order to look intellectual, and that you are able to work all of the problems on page � S69 in Campbell’s Calculus, which would prove that you were intellectual. Two Hundred Sixty-six «■■■■■■■■■i CJje Cj� ctr PHI LAMBDA UPSILON This chapter of Phi Lambda Upsilon was started last year by a bunch of Chemicals who admitted that they had the world by the throat, and siartcd an honorary frat to prove it. The members of this frat are the social elite of the school, as they have access to the alcohol supply in the chem lab store- room. It would be a wise move for everyone cither to join this frat, or o cultivate the friendship of one of the members. The members of Phi Lambda Upsilon must be able to produce all of the bad odors in the Chemical dic- tionary, and to dissolve a suit of clothes at a moment’s notice. ETA KAPPA NU. Eta Kappa Nu is open to all students in the Electrical course who stand in the lower one-tenth of their class. The members must also have flunked calculus at least twice. Eta Kappa Nu consists of a gang of freaks who roam around the Institute with crystal detectors, looking in all the corners for stray volts and amperes. This frat has only three faculty members, as Profs. Freeman, Snow, and Stryker were the only members of the faculty reckless enough to tie up to such an outfit. SCARAB. The Scarab is an honorary Architectural frat open to all of the Archi- tects who know all of the vaudeville acts which have appeared in Chicago for the past year. The members must all be enemies of the engineering students, and must also be at outs with the engineering profs. With this data every student should be able to pick the frat best suited to him. • Two Hundred Sixty-seven Cycle CAN YOU PASS ALL OF YOUR FINAL EXAMINATIONS? If not, let me tutor you.

This is none other than the erection of a magnificent home for the students of Armour Institute who have been rendered aged and decrepit by the untiring efforts of our hitter enemies, the profs. This home is to he situated five miles due east of Chicago, on a site donated by Uncle Sam. and will he built at an approximate cost of $14,000,000,003.62. In order to meet the enormous expense of this enterprise, a circus will he held at Ogden Field on one of the latter days of Junior week. The greatest aggregation of talent ever gathered in Christendom has been induced to perform (on credit) at this occasion. This collection of artists had at previous times performed before all the crowned heads of Europe, the hone- heads of Colona, Michigan, and the deadheads of the I’ere Marquette Rail- road. The program as far as Manager Lowe has been able to prognosticate, will be as follows:—subject to police interference: The first spasm will be a dazzling, aerial, tightrope act by our scrappy little short stop, Tommy Rowe. He will attempt to balance himself on his left ear while smoking a cigarette and at the same time work out a problem in Calculus assigned by ‘‘Doc” Campbell. The next number will be a song and dance by the celebrated human Sia- mese twins, Emil Pfafflin and E. F. Winter. They will give a demonstra- tion of how the tango should not l)e done, illustrating the intricacies of the subway glide, the loop the loop, and the broken hip. To add variation to the program, the Russian nobleman, Ignatz Mammes will dive from a platform 300 feet in the air, into a sausage, without break- ing the skin, showing what wonderful results can be accomplished when a man uses his head. For a musical number, we are pleased to announce that we have engaged I. Yamamoto from the land of the Sun. In this act alone he uses $50,000 worth of clothing, and a diamond rated at ninety horsepower. The audience will now be aroused from their slumbers to gaze upon an act which has been put upon the program in the interest of science. It will demonstrate Prof. Wilcox’s theory that the impact stresses set up in a ball of concrete when it strikes the ground from a 30 foot fall are insufficient to rupture the concrete. Jimmy Watt will leap from the roof of the “Beanery,” make forty revolutions and a pirouette in mid air, and land on his head. As a fitting finale and an eloquent tribute to the purpose of the under- taking, math professors Campbell, Miser, Phalen and Palmer will be led out in chains and thrown into a cage of hungry lions, borrowed from Lincoln Park for the occasion. By special request of Prof. Swineford’s descriptive geometry class, he also will be numbered among the victims. The advance sale of the tickets already numbers 40,000, which would seem to indicate that the affair will be a stupendous success. Let us all write in this common cause for the relief and succor of our afflicted brothers. Amen.

It is said that a lively new pupil at a seminary asked the preceptress for permission to go out driving with a gentleman, one day. You know the regulations of the institution?” asked the preceptress. “Is he your father?” “No.” “Is he your brother?” “No.” “Are you engaged to him?” “No, but I expect to be before I get back.” The preceptress is still unconsci- ous.

I say the goat because to run this dance with all its this and thats one had to be the goat from start to finish. Therefore be it resolved that Robert Reginald Maguire, a student of the Armour Institute of Technology, be dubbed Knight of the Taffy Covered Ingersol. and be pre- sented with the cast iron earmutTs, “as a token of our esteem.” Oh, gosh!
