He likes to get closer. Harold is a very studious lad and when it comes to Chemistry, he knows his stuff. Ask where Pitu is, and you will always be told that he's up in his room. He certainly has stuck to his school work, Qthere's no getting away from it gj nevertheless he is a four letter man. He received one in baseball and three from home. Pitu played ball both years and also served as manager for the season of 1925. He certainly did dig up a card full of games for this season. Everybody thought sure Yale was on the list and it would have been too but for the 'fact that Yale wouldn't play Pitu's team. We are certain that Pitu will be well versed in Chem. and Lab. work when he graduates and predict that he will hold down many a good position. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE

The ggezrmer 'liiainrg nf the Gllm-sa, 1925 Three years ago our class came into existence, brim full of ideas to revolutionize the textile industry. Our alma mater received the most spirited bunch of fellows that she had ever had. Alas! we were soon brought down to earth, we began to realize that everything was not peaches and cream. In less than a fort- night each and everyone of us had voluntarily come to the conclu- sion that we knew but one thing 5-that we knew nothing. The first year was not as eventful as the next two, altho we were enlightened upon many subjects. Barney found out what the teacher meant by a monkey wrench. Linny learned that Saco Pettee H was a machine builder, not a boxer. Gibbie was informed that we had a mule in school, and being good hearted brought some Shredded Wheat for it. To his surprise he found that the mule thrived on cotton. Bob, being a natural born chemist, tried to burn 1120 with his bunsen burner. Much to our regret, John Etheridge, William Bradly, john Wade and Foster Broadhurst left our class for other fields. T In the course of events during the second year, the dyeing laboratory was the Mecca of the jokesters. One day Bob put a woolen skein in an indigo bath and carefully mixed and stirred it. The bath was slowly heated up to Cand beyondj the necessary temperature. ' When the dyer went to lift the skein from the bath, an oath escaped from his lips. The skein had disappeared. Moral : Watch your temperature. Barney inaugurated the spirit of haste and actually did two experiments while the rest of the class were reading the first. Barney Oldfield was the fastest man in Auto racing and Barney Golding held the speed honors in chem. lab. The faculty con- sidered cutting the corners off the sinks because Barney lost time 'in getting around them. Sherman was going along like a whirl- wind until he got T5 in designing, It broke his heart, because Barney was after him. like a tin can tied to a dog's tail. Yes, the PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN
