It expresses perfectly my own senti¬ ments toward the Class of June 1926—the first all-Tech class. ALBERT L. COLSTON. You with whom we’ve often struggled To be triTe to what is best In yourselves, forever leaving To some happy chance, the rest— You whose goal is not so near you As you now perchance may think, Who this eve of graduation Stand but on your manhood’s brink— You’ll forget the things we taught you, You’ll forget the books you read, And I doubt if you’ll remember Much, if anything, we said. But when schooldays are behind you, And you face the world yourselves, You will find, if you search keenly, Stored away on mem’ry’s shelves, Just one gospel that we gave you, One precept to be your guide. Though all else should be forgotten. This should last whate’er betide: All the lessons that we taught you Are as nought, within our ken, If you but remember to be Upright, honorable men. —Magister. 2 HONORARY PRESIDENT Mr. Alexander Brook Get a new committee!

But after what The Egg did in the Poughkeepsie race the time I rowed for old Sumner, I’ll match him against any fellow who mere¬ ly dies to help a pal. The Egg was rowing at number six position, and you may remem¬ ber that we changed strokes three times during training. We had two coaches, started with an Eng¬ lish stroke, changed to a short chop stroke, ancT finally finished with a fast stroke. During train¬ ing we rowed four miles a day. Barney we called {him Barnev because his right name was Ber¬ nard Wattfield—was a great oarsman, one of the best sports¬ men that ever rowed for our col¬ lege. Pie had set his heart on win¬ ning the race. We didn’t know at the time just why, but we learned later, just in time for The Egg to save him. Everything that could happen to a crew happened to us that spring. Barney had been work¬ ing us like slaves all winter at the machines. For football men it may be all right to stand the pounding and the smashing of the scrimmage; they have the sat¬ isfaction at least of relieving their feelings by smashing the other fellow and there are usually on¬ lookers around to appreciate -By Basil Crocillo them. But the crew man just sits there on an incline, pulling his heart out against the springs, hour after hour, until his back and arms and legs ache, and his head swims, seeing only the back of another sufferer in front of him and a couple of coaches walking up and down the floor bawling him out and telling him how rot¬ ten he is. Four months of that, a month or more of drudgery after the shell gets into the river, and if lucky, a couple of minutes of tri¬ umph at the end of twenty-odd minutes of pulling his heart out by the roots! And even when he wins he is too far gone to know ' whether the cheers and the whis¬ tles and the waving flags are for his crew or for the other fellows. Well, that spring Barney had worked harder than anyone else. He was a big, good looking fel¬ low, with a splendid pair of shoulders. Rather serious-minded fellow-, too, trying to win high merits during his college career and stroke a crew at the same time. He had one purpose, too, as he proved by falling in love with Pauline Ainross in his sopho¬ more year and never changing. Pauline was known as the pret¬ tiest and the most popular girl among the co-eds. She always had the big parts in the play and half the fellows in school were (Continued on page S3) 19 Q. E. D. Tech’s fourth anniversary has come. For the eighth time her portals will open and a new class of young men will go forth to take up their chosen work. They will be scattered abroad; some will continue at college while others will gain their experience at work. Possibly some will find their way to foreign lands. But wherever they go, the members of the Class of June, 1926, will carry with them memories and traditions of Brooklyn Technical High School. In our short existence we have established an enviable athletic and scholastic record. Graduates of former classes are out in the world making fine progress at university and work. Fair play has become a synonym for Tech teams ; win or lose, they are there to fight hard and fair. A Tech man is loyal, honest and progres¬ sive. Numerous letters have come to Mr. Colston commending him on the fine type of young men of this school who obtain posi¬ tions after graduation. In one particular instance, a business man wrote in saying that if there were any more students in Tech of the type already employed by him, he would employ the entire graduating class. Such is the position held by Tech men in the minds of others. In geometry we have a symbol, Q. E. D., which means “that which was to be proved.’’ It is used at the close of a problem to denote the desired result has been worked out. Since in geometry we are given certain material to work with and a definite conclu¬ sion to arrive at, we can take any theorem and use it, as an illus¬ tration of our school careers. When we enter high school we are given several things, the oppor¬ tunity to succeed, the eight years of elementary training, and the will to work. The desired conclu¬ sion is a graduate who is a credit to the school and all those con¬ nected with him. It is the desire of the Principal to be able to stamp Q. E. D. next to the name of every Tech graduate, that is, to be able to vouch for the ability, loyalty and honesty of every member of this and succeeding classes. For you, old classmates, tried and true, Your days together now are through; But if out in the world we meet, I say, old pals, let’s always greet. Without Exaggeration Behold these future engineers, The builders of the nation! Result of careful grooming, they. No rash precipitation. They’ll tackle any task you say— No slightest hesitation— And cause, to many a female heart. Much anxious palpitation. Not finished, they, but just begun Their lengthy education. The years ahead will call for much Of careful concentration. But who would steal their joy in this Successful culmination? And who withh Id from them their due, Sincere congratulation ? June ’26 here’s luck to you Upon your graduation! —Hal. 20 fonm of ti|F Pithltr —By Charles G. Slater FOREWORD Most people who are acquainted with the Spanish bull-fight also have an idea that a toreador’s life is one of sunshine and glory. Those people judge by the ac¬ counts of the tremendous ovations tendered a toreador by the fren¬ zied audience in appreciation of a thrilling performance. But oft- times the gay jacket of an out¬ wardly cool torero enfolds a heart burdened with fatal sorrow. Fatal sorrow is the word that must be used, for few sons of blood and sand who enter a ring depressed live through the com¬ bat. “Buenas noches, querida mia. Tomorrow’s success will bring the golden opportunity—the privilege to fight in the Corrida at Seville, and then—.” These words Miguel whispered to Conchita and then, gently releasing her from his em¬ brace, he departed through the dark winding streets of Cordoba to his home. Rounding a sharp turn, the young matador, for such his conversation proclaimed him to be, bumped into a disheveled- looking mass. Without waiting for an explanation on Miguel’s part, the mass broke out in a tor¬ rent of abuse. “Que tel lleve el diablo (May the devil take you) ! You blundering idiot! A few less hours of this carousing might send you home in a condition that would not be dangerous to an old man like me. Who are you ?” “Why—Pablo do you not rec¬ ognize your friend Miguel Pera- da?” “Santa Maria, Senor Perada, forgive an old man for his weak¬ ness. This job as sereno (night watchman) has dulled my senses. It was I who was to blame for the collision.” “No, no, Pablo, I fancy I was too engrossed in my thoughts to avoid running into you.” “Well, let us forget it. But tell me, Senor Perada, what brings you abroad at this hour? Surely a matador should retire early on the night before a fight. For is not tomorrow the dia de toros, the day of the bull-fight?” “It is as you say, Pablo, but I had much happy news to impart to Senorita Conchita.” Here the old man sighed as if in recollection of his own youth. “Dame Fortune has smiled on me,” continued Mig¬ uel. “Yesterday, Don Estranza, the presidente of the Cordoba cor¬ rida, came to me with the mes¬ sage that Reveri, the great mata¬ dor, is touring the country incog¬ nito to find a torero worthy of performing with him. Reveri will be here tomorrow, Pablo, and Don Estranza as much as said that I was sure to be chosen. Dios! but I have prayed for the opportun¬ ity to fight in Seville. But, amigo, (Continued on page 62 ) 21 General Organization President—John Knobel; vice- president—Wallace Tyndall; ex¬ ecutive committee — Edmond Styles, Walter Husing, Robert Jones, Harold Meissner, Frank Haggerty. Faculty members, honorary president—Mr. Wigle ; executive committee—Miss Cooley, Miss Herstein, Mr. Lilling, Mr. War¬ ing, Mr. Wikel; secretary—Mr. Franzen; treasurer—Mr. Reger. One of Tech’s traditions was up¬ set when the Blue party succeeded in electing three men to positions in the General Organization. This gain was due in large part to the new system of monthly meetings of both parties. John Knobel was elected president for the second time. 100% G. O. membership was again attained. The Arista President—Alexander Podaris; vice-president—John Knobel; sec¬ retary-treasurer—George Pease; honorary president—Mr. Wikel. This term nineteen students were accorded Tech’s highest hon¬ or by being elected to the Arista, thus increasing the membership to forty-three. The Queen of Tech Kittina, the Technicat, is queen of Tech. She rules faculty and S. O. S. alike with an iron paw. When math teachers are explaining the in¬ tricacies of tetrahedrons, she de¬ lights to stalk into the room as a diversion to the studes. She is not uneducated herself, being a past- grad of Yowl University and a coach at Catnip College. Her stately presence graces Class N ights and ' Commencements. She is at home after 3:05 in the boiler room to students and delights in parading the family before admiring eyes. We are quite proud of Mrs. Kit- tna and venture to say that she is unique as a mascot in high schools. Kittina Doesn’t Object to Ice Cream 22 The Arista term. Prominent men spoke at the meetings. The first was ad- A. F. E. A. 1. Does Tech need a Field? 2. Does Tech want a Field? 3. Will Tech have a Field? And the A. F. E. A. has under¬ taken to translate the “Yea, Tech” that we answer to questions 1 and 2 into the dollars that are needed to answer question 3. The plan of the Athletic Field Endowment Fund Association has been pre¬ sented to the school and it seems to go 100 per cent strong. We’ll hear more of it next year. The officers of the Association are: President—Tyndall, Vice-Presi¬ dent—Meissner, Manager—Ba- hini, Asst. Manager—Vietheer, Advertising Staff—Muntz and Lidford, Publicity Staff—Dressier and Kampf. Parents Association The Parents Association of Brooklyn Tech which was organ¬ ized on January 12, for the pur¬ pose of promoting the interest of the parents in the work and activ¬ ity of the school, has met with great success during the past. dressed by State Senator Love and by Mr. Colston. The next was addressed by District Superin¬ tendent Dr. J. Tildsley, in charge of high schools, and by Mr. Colston. At the third, talks were given by Mr. R. F. Bach, of the Metropoli¬ tan Museum of Art, and by Mr. To¬ bin. Mr. Bach spoke upon the service which the Metropolitan Museum of Art renders to the public. Mr. Koch addressed the next meeting, choosing for his subject, “The Function Of The Group Adviser.” His description of a busy day in Room 405, was most humorous. When the As¬ sociation was invited to join the students on the Field Day Ex¬ cursion to Indian Point they “boosted” the project by under¬ writing tickets for it. The officers of the Parents As¬ sociation are Mr. Percy Barney_ President, Mrs. Minnie Nagle— Vice-President, Mrs. Stanley G. Tyndall—secretary. and Dr. George B. Germann—Treasurer. 23 OUTING SPLASHES -By Silver The Library One of the most important addi¬ tions to the Library this term was the series of books entitled, Reading with a Purpose.” Each of the books deals with one branch of literature, such as physics, biology, sociology, etc. The contents of each book include a history of the type of book, to¬ gether with a brief resume of the more important treatises on the subject. By consulting these works, one may truly read with a purpose. Social Retrospection The Seniors believe as fully as anyone else in the truth of the old adage which prescribes play rather than work in the brightening of one’s disposition. Those who are inclined to be skeptical may look to the last Senior Prom for proof of the value of play. At this affair three hundred students and mem- (Continued on page 76) 24 Baseball Baseball championships are get¬ ting to be quite common down here at Tech. Piloted by Mr. Tarantino our ball team has prac¬ tically clinched its position as the premier nine of Brooklyn for the third consecutive time. We’ve only turned out four diamond ag¬ gregations as yet. In referring to the Blue and White pill peg- gers it is quite appropriate or rather inappropriate to say, “What! no championship ?” Mr. Jack Fernandez is the moniker of the gentleman who pitched winning ball in practically all our P. S. A. L. contests. When our bludgeon wielders did hit the spheroid—this was often—a devastating effect ensued. The enemy pitchers were met by a barrage of base hits which often caused opposing mentors to de¬ cide that the cooling sensation of a shower would not do their flingers any harm. As we write, the ball tossers have won six out of the eight con¬ tests staged and have only to down Bushwick to practically clinch the title. The nine was managed by Humer and Geller and they de¬ serve a great deal of credit for their work. Following are the members of the team: Fernandez, p; Smith, p; Simp¬ kins, p; Johnson, p; Waldron, c; Saring, c; Halvorsen, lb; Hymes, 2b; Santora, ss; Crawford, 3b; Smith, If; Podaris, If; Styles, cf; Ayvazian, rf; Maucelli, rf.

To take its place, Mr. Tarantino, our own McGraw, has formed a Junior Varsity baseball team, composed of second-string Varsity players. The “Jayvees’’ play independent of the Varsity in games with other schools but practice with the senior nine. Louis Gottfried was. chosen man¬ ager of the team and he soon ar¬ ranged a schedule of about twelve games, including Manual, Eras- 25 The Varsity mus, Boys, Bushwick, and New Utrecht. The first game played this sea¬ son was with Manual, our friendly rival from Seventh Avenue. We lost a hard-fought game and the score of 10—5 does not do justice to the fight our boys put up. Jarcho started on the mound for us but he was too easy with the Park Slopers and they amassed a comfortable lead in the first three innings. Sirutis relieved him and pitched a fine brand of ball but the damage had been done and the game was Manual’s. Our representatives then lost to Poly Prep’s second team, 9—5. Their first victory came when they defeated Richmond Hill’s second stringers, 10—2. Sirutis pitched air tight ball for the six innings in which he remained on the mound. Dowd finished the game. During the following week they evened up their standing to three wins and as many losses by downing Brooklyn Prep, 4 —2, and Thomas Jefferson, 7—2. Sirutis pitched both these encounters and surely did himself proud, allow¬ ing less than a dozen safe bingles in the two contests. Track The only bright spot in an otherwise dark season for the Tech track team was the splen¬ did running of our mile relay, composed of Walsh, Roach, Lonn- strom and Knobel. Only once did the four Tech speedsters fail to score, that exception coming at the Penn Relays, held at Philadel¬ phia. There, a late arrival pre¬ vented them from warming-up. The chances of a track team next year, however, are very bright. Most of our runners are youngsters who have been getting experience at all these meets. This year’s squad was the largest in the history of Tech, and next year’s promises to be even larger. In the Manual meet, our, relay came in second, following only the 26 Manualites to the tape. Johnny Knobel turned in a fine perform¬ ance for us at the anchor posi¬ tion, going from third place to a close second. There were no relays run at the DeWitt Clinton meet, so Tech was unable to score. However, that same night our relay ran in the Newark championship meet and again finished second to Manual. In the Princeton meet, which came next, our graduation relay finished third. This quartet was composed of Roach, Mitchell, Lonnstrom and Knobel. In the first dual meet, with Thomas Jefferson, we won 65—61. Johnny Knobel was high scorer, making 15 points, while Lonn¬ strom was next with 13. Alexander Hamilton was our next victim on the cinderpath. Knobel and Lindquist starred in this meet which we ran away with, 59—40. In the city champs held at the P. S. A. L. Field on May 22, Tech garnered five tallies. The relay quartet placed third and Johnny Knobel lost the broad jump crown by 2 ' inches, his leap of 20 ft. 9L, inches being that much short of the mark made by Furth of New Utrecht. The Track Squad Tennis Tech’s tennis outfit like most of our teams is coming out near the top. Jitz Wagner has been winning most of his matches and Hoops Jones, a new comer, is right after him, having lost but one game in the last few meets. Logan downs his opponents regularly in just two sets—all that are necessary. Lap- insky has been up against some good players and has not done so well as the others. Jagde and Schwartz have been playing the doubles to¬ gether and have given a good ac¬ count of themselves. In the P. S. A. L. they have lost four matches out of nine. They beat Boys by the score of 3—2 and Madison 4 —1. Hajnilton was swamped 5—0, but Curtis handed 27 us a surprise by downing us 4—1. Eastern District fell by the same score and Erasmus repeated Curtis’ feat, making two losses for us. Otir team then lost to Manual’s Racket¬ eers 3—2. We again lost a league match to New Utrecht, the score being A —1. A few days later Cap¬ tain Jadge’s men downed the Green and White in a return match. The score was the same, 4 —1 with the difference that the charges of Messrs. Brook and McColl were on the winning side. Rifle Tech’s sharpshooters have been very successful in their matches. As this goes to print three victor¬ ies without any defeats have been chalked up to the credit of our nim- rods. The first win came when New Utrecht forfeited on March 26. April 1 found our gunners out- shooting the opposition of Rich¬ mond Hill with a score of 909-735. Johnston was high scorer for the Rlue and White with 175. Mr. Murphy’s charges took the Boys High riflemen into camp on April 22, the tally being 874-763. Meade and Walsh were high scorers. Practices were held twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays at any one of the following ranges: 13th Regt. Armory, 2nd Naval Battalion Ar¬ mory and P. S. A. L. field. Mr. Murphy of the English department coached the marksmen. Captain Walsh and Manager Johnston were the high scorers in the meets. Other members of the team are: Meade, Gersoni, O’Pray, Keeler, Sieden- topf and Wylie. Spring Basketball in order to get better acquaint¬ ed with his material and to get a good start for next fall, Mr. Grummond, our basketball coach, conducted an inter-year tourna¬ ment among the boys who came out for spring training. The games were held every Wednes¬ day at the 2nd Naval Battalion Armory in Bay Ridge. The Odds 28 Rifle Team and Ends team consisting of last season’s Junior Varsity players won the tournament, winning three games and losing none. Four teams were ntered: Fresh¬ man, Sophomore, Junior, and the Odds and Ends team. The Fresh¬ man team won one game, the Juniors and Sophs won two each, while the “Jayvees” had an easy time winning three games. Aside from the inter-year contests the boys have been drilled in funda¬ mentals such as passing and shooting from the foul-line. They have received, as well, a thorough grounding in the rules of basket¬ ball. Coach Grummond is to be thanked for giving his extra time to coaching the team so that it will be feared when the fall rolls around. Spring Football Following the example set by many other schools, the 1926 foot¬ ball squad is having spring prac¬ tice under the watchful eyes of Coach Larsen. The boys who will don the moleskins next September are getting ready for the long grind by going through their paces at the P. S. A. L. field Mon¬ days, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The spring training consists mostly of fundamental work, such as falling on the ball, passing, punting, dropkicking, and a thor¬ ough study of the rulebook. As many of last year’s gridders have graduated or left school, there will be many positions left vacant. The only boys who will remain from 1925 who played more than one game are Meissner, Bjong and Hagerty, in the back- field, and Warnock and Ed Sroka, wingmen. With a number of can¬ didates from last year’s Interme¬ diate aggregation, and a group of husk - newcomers, these “vets” will have to fight to hold their jobs. Coach Larsen, although busy with an outdoor track squad of over 150, is doing noble work in coaching two branches of sport in one day. However, he is being assisted by Mr. Grummond who, after a long hard season with the basketball teams, has given up the rest of his spare time to the spring training of both the -court and gridiron teams. 29 Handball This term saw a new athletic- activity ushered into Tech’s pro¬ gram: interclass handball. Mr. GrummOnd, who coached basket¬ ball decided to conduct a tourna¬ ment so as to discover material for Tech’s future handball outfits. Games , were held on Wednesdays and Fridays at the Second Naval Battalion Armory. Finally, after three months of playing, the semi¬ finals were reached and the doubles championship was decided. Mearns and Lopresti defeating Poojamora and Paolillo, 21-2, 21-0. Next, the singles championship was decided— Mearns of 4A1 won the coveted honor after a stiff match with Lo¬ presti. Mearns is sure to be a star when Tech enters scholastic hand¬ ball. Thanks are due to Mr. Grum- mond and Manager Furno for de¬ voting their spare time to con¬ ducting the tournament. Bowling This, highly successful term in athletics has seen the development of a new sport in Tech, that of bowling. Four organized teams appeared, the Faculty, The Survey, the Bank Staff and the Longfel¬ lows, of which our teachers are the undoubted champs, with the jour¬ nalists holding a slight edge over the six-footers for second place. All matches were rolled at the Cen¬ tral Y. M. C. A. Alleys. In the first fracas, ye pedagogues downed ye big boys, 2201 to 1929 a decided advantage of 272 pins. Two weeks later the writers con¬ quered the unfortunate Longfel¬ lows, 1959-1859, 100 pins deciding. After this match, by all the laws of natural events, the Survey lumber- rockers should have given the teachers a good battle but the dope was wrong and the type jugglers were overwhelmed 2293 to 1801. They came right back, however, and downed the Bank Staff 1930 to 1817. 30 Sport Shorts According to the form usually employed in Senior Issues the purpose of a column like this is to review ,the accomplishments of the various athletes and teams during the season just past. Therefore we start by harking back to the cold wintry days of basketball. Coach Grummond began the season confronted with all sorts of difficulties. His squad was composed mostly of new material and boys in the lower grades. Some of Jhe most promising can¬ didates were taking courses which required ninth and tenth periods and therefore they could practice only once or twice a week. But despite these handicaps Mr. Grummond built up a team which handed the world a surprise by trimming Boys High, 13 to 12, and he also laid the foundation for a better team next year. The first team was cqmposed of Roth, Singer and Bernstein, for¬ wards ; Pope and Sartori, centers; and Voronkov and Podaris, guards. Mr. Grummond introduced an innovation in the form of spring basketball practice and Mr. Larsen, not to be outdone by his colleague, took unto himself the responsibility of running spring football. The faculty basketeers com¬ posed of the Messrs. Walsh, Tar¬ antino, Milde, Grummond and Larsen went through their three game schedule with a record of one victory and two de¬ feats. They became so confident, after beating the varsity, that they proved easy picking for the Madison faculty and the Poly Tech Junior varsity quintets. Why is it that Mr. Milde never gives illustrations on the gym ap¬ paratus ? Coach Larsen, of track, fol¬ lowed along in the trail blazed by Mr. Grummond and also gave much of his attention to lower grade runners who, although they were unable to score points this season, will probably develop into winners in the coming seasons. Ed Walsh is probably the most improved runner on the squad this year. Early in the season he broke his novice and since then he has been running with the mile relay team. What a combination that relay team made, always up in front, and running with the best of them : long-legged, strong lunged Walsh; short, hard fighting Roach; stocky, barrel-chested “Whitey” Lonnstro r tn, and ' that greyhound, Johnny Knobel. 31 The track team indulged in sev¬ eral outdoor meets this spring in¬ cluding dual meets with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamil¬ ton. And while we are still talking of track let us not forget the one and only inimitable track man¬ ager, H. R. H. Hon. William Pel- gorsch. There was some talk of forming a lacrosse team in Tech this spring but the movement seems to have run into a snag somewhere. Tech’s second inter-class tour¬ nament got under way this spring in the form of a handball tourna¬ ment. Plans were made for this but they did not. materialize until Mr. Grummond took the reins and said he would run, it. This year’s tennis outfit re¬ ceived its instructions and orders from the Messrs. Brook and Mac- Coil. George Jagde, a veteran, was made captain, and Phil Hag- erty, manager. The team started practicing early in the season. While the snow was still on the ground they were playing tennis in the 2nd Naval Battalion Armory. Stan Wagner, also a veteran, is playing first singles. Stanley is one of the best schoolboy tennis players in the borough and ranks as one of the team’s most con¬ stant winners. Coach Brook is not so bad a racket wielder himself. With a little more practice he should de¬ velop into a real high class player. Following in the steps of Ero Djerf the former Tech water wiz¬ ard, Big Bill Burns took unto himself the coaching duties of the Freshman team. Bill’s babies cut quite a furrow among the frosh swimmers and are doing quite well at present. The noise made by the Long¬ fellows bowling team challenging all and any to a match has been partly squelched by two succes¬ sive defeats at the hands of the Faculty and the Survey teams. It was rumored that Tech would have a field day and for a change this rumor proved to be something more than a rumor. And now, at last we discuss that famous spring disease, base¬ ball. Seemingly handicapped by a new coach and a lack of material the papers all predicted a pretty gloomy season for Tech, but the Erasmus game made them look all wet. Although the boys are not over¬ confident they all admit they would like to see Chicago. The student support has taken a decided brace and Tech is beginning to show some real spirit. The great success Tech has at¬ tained this season has been largely due to the skill and patience of Coach Tarantino who has worked very hard to put together a win¬ ning combination. 32 Jack Fernandez, who was such a sensation in left field last year, was early called upon to shoulder the pitching burden and he has done nobly so far. Lefty has a world of confidence and control and should go a long wa y as a pitcher. While speaking of left handers, don’t forget Hal Halvorsen, the “Slugging Swede.” Hal has en¬ joyed a most successful season at busting fences. Next in line comes Sandy San- tora who shapes up as a certain all-scholastic selection. He is the picture of grace and skill in the field and he also bats extremely well. Bill Crawford, a newcomer to varsity baseball, seems to have made good at third base. Al¬ though he is not a heavy hitter he is an excellent fielder. Will Hymes has been scintillat¬ ing around second base all season pulling fancy catches and hitting the ball at a regular clip. Besides this. Will has acted as a lucky charm, the team having won every game in which he acted as captain. Kiki Ayvazian, the new right fielder, is also a real find. Al¬ though he is far from being a poor fielder, it is at the bat that he really shines. In spite of the fact that he has been somewhat hin¬ dered by a sore heel, he is also exceptionally fast on the bases. Behind the bat the two Dutch¬ men Waldron and Saring have been alternating. Waldron seems to have a slight edge over Saring but both are getting plenty of work. Moose Maucelli has been work¬ ing in the outfield when Fernan¬ dez is pitching. Moose has been hitting the ball at a regular clip of late which habit has given him the call over Podaris. Charley Smith and Dixie Sim- kins, the two lanky right-handed rookies, have both turned in some nice pitching. What did you think of the black- bands on the arms of our Varsitv boys at the ball game at Indian Point? Sort of a dark subject. The question is: How did the boys know how the Faculty were go¬ ing to feel after the game? 33 Exchanges Packer Current Items, Packer Collegiate Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y.: We appreciated your stories greatly and were glad to see that there is at least one publication which devotes sufficient space to stories. The few cartoons that you have are good, but you don’t have enough of them. How about put¬ ting some humor in your magazine ? The Sanfran, St. Francis High School, Brooklyn, N. Y.: Your class notes are very good. We found too much humor which spoiled the unity of your otherwise well placed departments. Your cartoon “Prep Pot Shots” was ex¬ cellent. We didn’t think your “Biography of Leaping Lena” so hot. How about it? For a young publication it is very good. Keep up the good work. The Prospect, Manual Training High School, Brooklyn, N. Y.: We picked up our old friend The Pros¬ pect fully expecting it to be a good “all round” interesting number. We were not disappointed. Both the stories contained in this issue were very interesting and well written. We still maintain that ours was the first school to print anything on the style of “The Zero.” W hat do you say? The Comet, New Utrecht High School, Brooklyn, N. Y.: Each suc¬ ceeding issue of The Comet seems to be better than the previous one. Your Column “Chemps mit Chumps” was excellently written. It was the best imitation of Milt Gross’ writing that we have seen. In your last issue you razzed us for not giving sufficient space to the G. O., but in the same issue you had no G. O. writeup whatso¬ ever. Not very consistent, eh wot ? Curtis Monthly, Curtis High School, Staten Island, N. Y.: Your last issue was very well balanced, the only fault we could find being that it contained too many school notes and not enough humor. Your column “The Post Office” was very fine. Keep up the good work! W r e acknowledge Exchanges from the following school publica¬ tions : Maroon and White, Brooklyn, N. Y. Bovs High Weekly Brooklyn, N. Y. Dutchman .Brooklyn, N. Y.

The As¬ sociation held its first meeting of the year at Tech on February 1. They were entertained by Miss Cooley, Miss Freeberg and Mr. Colston who expressed their wish¬ es for a successful season. + Columbia, Brooklyn Poly, Cor¬ nell, Pratt, Stevens, N. Y. U. and C. C. N. Y. are the colleges where most of our Alumni are studying. Ed Lautenbacher, ’24, Tech’s most famous pitcher, has done noble work on Columbia’s nine this season by his splendid twirl¬ ing, wipning many games for his Alma Mater. Columbia seems to draw Tech pitchers as it was also the choice of Hanlon, ’25 and will be of Johnson, ’26. Hanlon, however, has recently transferred to Ford- ham.

Johnny Sacco, ’24, whose record at Tech as G. O. President and track celebrity will be long re¬ membered, had the distinction of being the only Columbia man to place in the Metropolitan Senior Championships. Frank Trentacosti, ’25, did great work at third base on Columbia’s nine this season. Altogether it has been a prom¬ ising season for our Alumni as a whole and we hope that this term’s graduates will also estab¬ lish such enviable records for themselves in their respective pursuits.

At any event pick out a soft hill next S S S It is possible that Sport Shorts meant: “Stan Wagner has recov¬ ered from his injuries received, while rolling down a hill.” S S S A new pathology! “Merrily we roll along to health” might be his slogan. If it works on spring fever we will go rolling with you some day, Stan. S S S Not long ago the Bank had the following notice posted: “No bank¬ ing today as we cannot open the safe.” S S S What further proof do you want that the B. T. H. S. Bank is safe? Even the bank staff can’t get at the money. S S S But then, if one is badly bent (financially), it is aggravating to have some one tell you that the treasurer forgot the combination. S S S After years of investigation and observation Mr. Murphy has at last expounded his theory of motion. It is briefly this: The motion of the fist through a vertical plane from the side to the mouth is almost al¬ most accompanied by a dropping of the lower jaw, if some edible is in the raised fist. S S S Allow us to add one of our own theories of motion. The motion of a fist to the jaw (of one not own¬ ing the fist) is almost always ac¬ companied by a dropping of the in¬ dividual owning the jaw. S S S It is not necessary to use a fist in the latter experiment. A sledge hammer, rolling pin (very com¬ mon), rock, anvil, or even a rubber boot has been known to work with fair results. But then a fist is so handy. S S S After four years of work the two engines of the Auto Club are still nearing completion. S S S “And what is your home field?” she gushed at one of the baseball games. “Oh,” replied the Tech student, “it’s Sumdam Oval.” S S S Hack Gulbransen represented Tech in the Regional Finals of the New York Times Oratorical Con¬ test. To compete in the finals Hack had to survive the Assembly Con¬ test. the District Contest, and the Inter-borough Contest. He was defeated in the finals, sad to say, by a girl. According to the Arabian ratio, women received nine parts of chin ability to man’s one—the odds overwhelmed him. (Continued on page 50) 36 The Crucible Regents ’Twas the day before Regents and every Tech stude For once found himself in a studi¬ ous mood. His Math book before him, his Chem by his side, His countenance troubled, and somewhat wild-eyed, While Ma poured the coffee, and Pa, with a broom Was chasing the little ones out of the room. But all of a sudden the door opened wide To a horde of queer creatures, a limitless tide— Some twisted and shrunken, some bloated and fat; Some came turning handsprings, some ran, and some sat; Some looked almost human, but most were weird sprites. The sort that one sees when he sleeps ill o’ nights. And the Tech student’s hair stood on end with his fear And a chill premonition that trouble was near, For he thought of the Regents, and knew in a trice That these were his thoughts and they didn’t look nice. All the words he’d misspelled and the answers he’d bluffed, The problems he’d botched and ex- Retums amples he’d muffed, The tasks he’d neglected in keeping a date Were dancing and chanting a shrill hymn of hate. His poor brain was reeling, his face growing yellow And the stude cursed himself for a poor worthless fellow. The droll little sprites buzzed around him like bees— Or rather mosquitoes—the Tech student’s knees Were quaking with fear, but he said, “If you please, “I’ve never before seen so many of you. Now I know what you look like, see here’s what I’ll do: I’H sit down and cram till I’ve set you to rights “For I know you’re unhealthy, that’s why you ' re such frights, All crooked and twisted and warped out of shape— But just give me a chance, and don’t stand there and gape.” I’m happy to say he was true to his word, And his thoughts were quite nor¬ mal the last that I heard. But he never got over his terrible fright And I’ve heard he’s reformed since that mem’rable night. —Hal. 37 Driftwood At night when I sit in my den And try to do some work; You’d be surprised to hear of all The things that make me shirk. I sit me down to do my French; I open up the book That I must read, but first, at all The pictures I must look. I turn and see the Eiffel Tower, The bridges of Versailles, The Market-place of Havre town, Where peasants come to buy. But soon I tire of looking thus, And gaze upon the floor. I see my new hydrometer; My temper then doth soai What careless person has been here To knock it off the shelf? But I cool off when I’m informed I left it there myself. Now I must look upon the lid To see what I can see, And then I get the bright idea To test my battery. Right then the ' phone bell rings aloud; I rush to see who ’tis: “C’mon, we’re all goin’ to the ‘Met’; They say the show’s a whiz.” But then Dad says, “You didn’t do Your lessons, I’ve a hunch.” “Oh, that’s all right, Dad, never mind, I’ll do them during lunch.” —Bob. The Drill Fire! Fire! Roars the mob— Down the stairs their hearts do throb— Passing all the radiators, Fighting like the gladiators, To taste the scent of sweetened air. Nary a whisper, turn of hair, On they go without a stop, (Teacher’s prodding from on top). Students, climbing up six floors— Sagging lips and fallen jaws— They gasp and fret with lagging gait, Till to their class come just too late, But fall into their seats for sleep, And no one hears from them a peep. Until they hear the bell at three, They’re refreshed, and once more free. —Argy. Death and Life The term is ending Our doom is descending The tests are soon, We’re almost dead. Through clouds like ashes, A bright thought flashes, If we should work, We’d forge ahead. And when we study, All that was muddy Becomes more clear, A light at last. And now ’tis over, Again we’re sober, When we return To learn we passed. —Bob. 38 Allied Arts Club The club has consistently contri¬ buted posters for school activities including dances and athletic events. A squad of four has been engaged lettering the G. O. honor certificates in Old English. Two Art Galleries were visited where exhibits on illus¬ tration and posters were inspected. Mrs. Calvert gave talks on color, lettering, and posters. Apparatus Club Although formed primarily to demonstrate apparatus work and pyramid building in “The Tech Follies”, the club, which has de¬ veloped a remarkable degree of pro¬ ficiency in this field of endeavor. will continue its work in the future and will compete with similar clubs of other schools. The club has a valuable coach in Mr. Larsen, who was champion of the Savage Normal School Apparatus Club for two years. Automotive Club Owing to the large number of ap¬ plicants for automotive study the Automotive Gub membership was increased to thirty. A one cylinder marine engine was overhauled and bearings were cast and fitted for it. Two motors are nearing completion. Mr. Lloyd gave lectures on marine motors, ignition, welding, and com¬ bustion engines. 39 Automotive Club Camera Club Few weekly meetings were held but members have used the dark room consistently and have devel¬ oped color plates, X-ray plates, and ordinary films. Mr. Knowles is the Faculty Adviser. Chemical Society A number of lectures and demon¬ strations were given, among them: The preparation of Ammonium Amalgam, performed by Rosen- blum; The Chamber Process of Manufacturing Sulphuric Acid, by Cohn; Pyrotechnic Chemistry, by Vinchesi; Silvering of Glass, by Waide, and Electroplatic Prepara¬ tion of Paint Pigments, by Felder. Mr. Ferguson, the Faculty Adviser, lectured on The Aims and Duties of the Chemist. Each term the Society plans to present a gold medal to the student who gets the highest mark in three years chemistry and a silver medal to the boy who obtains the highest mark for one year chemistry. On April 22, Dr. C. Everitt Field, director of the Radium Institute in New York showed motion pictures illustrating the method used for ex¬ tracting radium from its ore. Chess and Checker Club The club sent two representatives, Kirichdjian and Mandelbaum, to the meetings of the Individual Inter¬ scholastic Chess League, held at the Hotel Sherman-Square. Regular club meetings took place on Wed¬ nesdays and Fridays. Contests were held to determine the chess and the checker champions of Tech. Mr. Lilling is the Faculty Adviser. Current Events Club The club includes students from first year ' Civics as well as from the seventh and eighth term History classes. Topics of international, state, and city importance were dis¬ cussed and at times debated. Mem¬ bers have traced important topics from week to week and have com¬ pared views offered by Democratic and Republican newspapers on the same subject. A team composed of E. Davidson and L. Weeks was en¬ tered in the Eagle Current Events Bee. 40 Chemical Society Das Deutsche Dutzend The principal features of the work of the club were: an Easter Party, a visit to a German musical comedy “Madame Pompadour,” and to the Botanical Gardens, in addition to a debate in German on prohibition. Members have been busy corre¬ sponding with the Frauleins and Knaben of Deutschland and inspect¬ ing German weeklies. Herr Raden- hausen is the Faculty Adviser. Dramatic Society The society had an act in the Tech Follies which consisted of a musical burlesque of Julius Caesar. The actors were: Caesar (Rademacher); Brutus (Floor); Antony (Burton); Cassius (Johnson); Casca (Boc- chiccio); Trebonius (Hobbs); Le- pidus (Patton); O ctavius (Simes) ; Portia (De Vries); Calpurnia (Kelly); Pindarus and Ligarius (Pedersen); Soothsayer (Rooner); Forge Club French Club and Cato and Cimber (Kornblum). These boys also helped out: Babini, Gooding, Rousku, Diller, Josefow- ski, Cunningham, Wetjen. Miss Peabody and Miss Strong devoted club meetings to lessons on acting and staging. Forge Club Directed by Mr. Lucas, mem¬ bers have forged such useful articles as floor lamps, flower stands, and¬ irons, fire place sets, fire cranes, and aquariums, as well as flag stands for the auditorium, and a number of general forge tools. Visits were made to the Packard and Pierce Mo¬ tor Car Companies. During Re ¬ gents Week, a two day trip will be made to Lake Ronkonkoma, L. I. 42 Glee Club The club broadcast from Radio Station VVAHG and during School Week from Station WJZ. Mr. Mat- tuck received many letters, among them being some from former mem¬ bers of the club, complimenting the splendid performances. They also sang before the Sheepskin Club at the Hotel St. George on Jan. 28 and took part in the “Plantation Scene” in “The Tech Follies.” The boys, directed by Mr. Mattuck, worked on negro spirituals and plantation songs this term and sang selections at the assemblies. Harmonica Club Through the efforts of Maurice Jacobs, a Harmonica Club was formed this term. It aims to de¬ velop a well trained group of players who will be able to perform at assemblies or other school events. At the weekly meetings, the large number and variety of songs played afforded a pleasant pastime for the students. Inventors Club Lectures were given by members on topics relating to various phases of electricity, mechanics, and chem¬ istry. They considered a duplicating device for reproducing signatures and Dr. Apisdorf lectured on Anton Flettner’s Air Rotor Ship and the application of the principle involved in its operation. “The Prolongation of Life” was discussed by Baltuch and “The Manufacture and Use of Liquid Air” was commented upon by Ginsberg. Le Cercle Fran$ais Each year the French Club, di¬ rected by Mr. Lilling, holds two par¬ ties, one before Christmas and one before Easter. This term the party was attended by fifteen French stu¬ dents who made merry with music, French songs, and good cheer. The club attended a performance of Wal¬ ter Hampden’s“Cyrano de Bergerac” and pronounced it superb. Mr. Knowles gave a lecture on “Modern French Art,” which was greatly ap¬ preciated. Bi-weekly meetings were held. Orchestra 43 Radio Club Longfellows Club Handicapped by the lack of a fac¬ ulty adviser the Longfellows had to abandon their customary activities this term. However, the club held bowling matches with the faculty and The Survey. Model Club The shipbuilding program has been carried forward this term with great success. One five foot hull, a thirty-six inch hull, three two foot sail boats, a submarine chaser, and a destroyer have been completed. A model of a pirate ship is being con¬ structed for the English Office. Mr. Reger exhibited his scrapbook and explained the interesting things which it contained. Orchestra The orchestra provided music this team at “The Tech Follies” as well as before the assemblies, and of course it will play at Commencement. The efficient direction of Mr. Mat- tuck was responsible for the splendid programs. A jazz band, an offspring of the Orchestra, also took part in the Follies. In the course of the term the “Lustspiel Overture” was added to the repertoire. Press Club The club was organized this term to act as a “publicity agent” for Tech, in the city newspapers. Mem¬ bers have written newspaper articles on the Bank, The Survey, the Ora¬ torical Contest, the Poster Contest, and the Tech Follies, in addition to all athletic activities. Miss Boole, the faculty adviser, gives helpful suggestions and polishes the English of the journalists. Public Speaking and Debating Society At the weekly meetings members endeavor to improve their oral Eng¬ lish and general knowledge by giv¬ ing talks on travel. Lectures were given concerning travel in Italy, Egypt, Palestine, England, Ger¬ many, and Russia. Mr. Brokhahne is the faculty adviser. 44 Radio Club A new fifty watt transmitter has been installed and numerous mes¬ sages were handled for the students and faculty. A picture of this trans¬ mitter was in the “Radio News” and the “Popular Science Monthly.” Talks were given at the weekly meet¬ ings concerning various phases of radio. The club received an omni¬ graph and miscellaneous radio parts from a kind d onor. Mr. Pabst is the faculty adviser. Radio Construction Club A feature of the term’s work was a lecture and demonstration given by a Radio Engineer, Mr.Bullock, of the Pathe Phonograph Co., on “The Alternating Current Tube and the A, B, and ' C Battery Eliminator.” Over 150 students attended this event. Lectures given by Mr. Mc- Ardell and members have assisted the radio set builders materially. Scribes Two members, Boggild and Cun¬ ningham, represented the Scribes at the meetings of the Interscholastic Short Story League, held for the purpose of promoting short story writing. Aided by Miss Herstein, members have written and discussed short stories and have commented upon well-known motion pictures and plays. Solderology Club Assisted by Mr. Danz, club mem¬ bers have completed copper bud va¬ ses, several floor ash trays, and a number of floor lamps. A hectograph for producing duplicate prints of maps was made by Pearsall. Besides completing the installation of The Survey contribution boxes, a large copper pan was made, and several loud speakers were completed and sold. Stamp Club Each term the club holds two or three auctions besides a number of lectures. The geography connected with stamps and the historical re¬ lation between stamps and events were discussed. New issues were Solderology Club 45 Technical Society commented upon, a number of stamp exhibits were made, and stamps were exchanged at the weekly meetings. Mr. Kohn is the faculty adviser. Technical Society Granted that travel is an essential part of one’s education, members of the Technical Society should be bursting with knowledge. The club has visited: the Leviathan; Sperry Gyroscope Co.; Radio Stations WMCA, WAHG; Squibb Sons; 13th C. A., N. Y. N. G. drills, ex¬ hibition, lecture and demonstrations; Natural History Museum; National Lead Co.; Breyer’s Ice Cream Co.; Borough Photo-Engraving Co.; Cantilever Shoe Co.; Sandy Hook; Butteriek (publishers) ; U.S.S. T3, VI, Richmond; and U. S. Navy Yard, B’klyn; beside many others; as well as attending the moving pic¬ ture “Flag Makers.” The untiring efforts of Mr. O’Brien are respon¬ sible for this term’s splendid pro¬ gram. An attendance of twenty was maintained at each visit. Ukulele Club The club was organized his term to further the musical ability of its members, to have a good time so¬ cially, and to try, if possible, to give performances at some of the assem¬ blies. Members have practiced up to date songs and have received in¬ dividual instruction. 46 Those Who Serve Tech Bank Next term there will be oppor¬ tunities for ambitious students to start banking careers, for about eight of the Bank Staff are leaving. There has been a great increase over last term’s deposits, due, probably, to the campaign of the Bank. Quite evidently there are no sluggards on the staff. This condition may be ex¬ plained by the fact that Mr. Harris is faculty adviser. Blue Printing Squad The Blue Printing Squad though not a regularly organized group, has done a great deal of work this term. They used in all twelve hun¬ dred square yards of blue-print paper, making blue prints for the shops, drawing classes, and other schools. They are under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Jacobsen. Book Room As usual the Book Room squad has worked hard during the term and deserves credit for its services. There are about thirty-five members and Mr. Olin is faculty adviser. G. A. Office Squad The Group Advisers Office Squad under the direction of Miss McNa¬ mara does practically the same work in the Group Advisers Office as the Office squad does in the Principal’s office. They have, however, the added pleasure of writing out cut slips. _ Library Squad The Library Squad is limited to five members. Each has a particular kind of work to do and is rarely Office Squad 47 Sales Bureau called upon for service outside his original assignment. As there is rotation in position from term to term, the pupil holding over for sev¬ eral terms may enjoy«a variety of work. Lunch Room A position on the Lunch Room Squad is thought by many to be the best job procurable. The Lunch Room should be patronized because, besides helping the school, it helps the students; as good food, fair prices and cleanliness prevail. This great institution is in charge of ver¬ satile Mr. Harris. The Office Squad The Office Squad has maintained its usual record of good service dur¬ ing the past term. Both the regular and apprentice squads have done effective work. Hundreds of pro¬ gram cards and various other matter were filed by the members. Check¬ ing up roll books,.office reports, and other incoming and out-going re¬ ports, operating the mimeograph and adding machines, running er¬ rands, answering the telephone, handling the mail, etc., have kept this squad very busy. Print Shop The Tech Print Shop has just completed another busy term. “Ye Shoppe” did almost all the Tech printing jobs from the daily absence sheets to the cut slips and Follies Program. The shop is under the supervision of Mr. Schaumloeffel. Sales Bureau The Sales Bureau has had the most successful year in its history as a result of the work of Miss Cooley and the members of the staff. This success, of course, means more money for the G. O. Treasury. On April 16 twelve of the fellows saw “Laugh That Off” at Wal¬ laces Theatre. The Science Squad The Science Squad, directed by Mr. Ross, prepares experiments for the teachers and keeps the Chem labs in good condition. Most of the boys in the squad take the 48 Science Squad Chemistry Course and their work in it affords an opportunity for broadening their knowledge of Chemistry. Statistics Squad The statistics squad this term has devoted its attention entirely to alumni records and has compiled ex¬ haustive statistics of the perform¬ ances of the last three graduating classes.

A bowling team was also organized and scored favor¬ ably in several contests. Aboard the “Albany” on the trip to Indian Point, the staff published an outing number on each voyage. When Tech is represented on the Evening World’s School Page on Tuesday, The Survey will have charge of the publications. s. o. s. This term Mr. McHugh has sup¬ planted M r. Walsh as faculty ad¬ viser of the Service Squad. A new demerit system has been inaugurated, whereby a member is ineligible for honors if he has re¬ ceived fifteen demerits during the past term. The main purpose of this organi¬ zation is to help insure the comfort and safety of students during school hours by regulating traffic in corri¬ dors and on stairways. Supply Room One of the important school de¬ partments is the Supply Room, pre¬ sided over by Mr. Radenhausen. Paper, ink, and other necessary sup¬ plies are sent from this little base¬ ment room as they are needed. The work is not easy and the squad de¬ serves applause.

SO ’TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE. FINALS A Junior’s Dream Suddenly from out of the dark a gear and a pinion appeared, fight¬ ing furiously! The gear was flour¬ ishing a comma splice, while the pinion was fighting with an angle bisector. In a few minutes the gear had lost thirty-two teeth and it seemed as though the pinion would be the victor. Just then, King Ar¬ thur, Launcelot and Sir Kay hove into view. Kach bestrode an oblique triangle and wielded a sine (A-|-B). But this didn’t scare the pinion. He merely determined the angle of ele¬ vation and grabbed a can of Silas Lapham’s mineral paint. Into the can he stuck a fuse and then at¬ tached the fuse to an electric circuit. The pinion measured the distance of the knights in ohms and amperes, connected the wire with a shunted fourth quadrant and pushed the but¬ ton. There was a loud explosion and in two minutes .it was raining tin cans and hot dogs. And still the pinion was not the victor! Hear ¬ ing a strong rumbling in the distance, the pinion looked up and saw a giant sound wave. As the wave approached inversely as the square of the dis¬ tance the pinion doged behind the log sine of 78° 27 ' 20 . From under cover the pinion had only to send out a second overtone, and the wave was killed. This could not, however, last for a very long time. Five kilowatt- hours and two volts later the pinion was captured by a squad of five rays of light. The rays brought him in¬ versely before the almighty judge— the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence sentenced him to be shot at daybreak by a firing squad of seven tangents. The next morning at sunrise the pinion was brought before the firing squad. Just as they were about to shoot, a scream for help was heard nearby. Turning about, the pinion saw the judge’s brother, the angle of reflection, sinking in the river. The pinion was no fool; he knew where he got off. He headed for the river, jumped in, and saved the angle. This heroic deed softened the judge’s heart and he changed the sentence to five ohms in the Bunsen photometer. This sentence the pinion accepted gladly and he immediately started plans for an escape. The next morn¬ ing he managed to conceal two sen¬ tence fragments. At noontime when the warden, a ray of light, entered the photometer, he was killed by a blow of the pinion. The pinion quickly donned the uniform and stepped outside. Alas! Alack! Just as he stepped out a bell rang. It must be an alarm! Yes—No— -and the Tech Junior ' turned the clock off and rose to face a day of final exams. 51 The Questionable Reporter Since the primary object of thi column is to dispense humor—we surely do dispense with it in a bru¬ tal manner—we decided to interview the “Most Humorous Senior.” This job was too big to leave to a re¬ porter, who would tell nothing but the truth, so an experienced mixer of details like the editor was as¬ signed. The following questions were put to the Senior and he an¬ swered them almost intelligibly con¬ sidering the fact that he is a Senior: “To what do you attribute your humorous strain?” “Once I fell out of a fifteen story building and landed on my elbow— ever since my funny-bone has been strained.” (He later added that he fell from the basement window.) “Do you find a sense of humor to he useful ?” “Yes. To state one instance: Some years ago while surrounding my Canadian hunting lodge, I was con¬ fronted by a ferocious tiger. As the beast made ready to spring upon me, I related a very funny story. The animal immediately began to laugh and I put my hand into his mouth, seized his tail and turned him inside out.” “What is your greatest ambition ?” “To be the man who fires the sun¬ set gun at the North Pole.” “What will you do when you graduate? Seniors do occasionally graduate.” “After graduating I intend to spend my time developing a method by which the property of shrinking shall be taken out of bacon. This idea was suggested by one of my closest ' friends—a Scotchman.” The “Humorous Senior” had lots more to say but the Business Staff objected on the grounds that the Senior Class would be getting too much free advertising. 4,000 A. D. Ancient History Teacher:—One of the amusements of the Ancient Americans was a game known as baseball. The game, as nearly as we have been able to determine, was as follows: As his turn came, each man of the one team would wield a heavy stick over a spot known as the home plate. A man from the opposing team would hurl, with great velocity, a hard, round, missile at the stick wielder, who was supposed to hit it. Should he succeed in hitting this sphere (which would travel away upon being hit) the stick-wielder would run about a diamond shaped course, at each corner of which was a sort of pillow. One point would be scored for his side if the runner arrived at the home plate without being tagged by an opposing player with the missile. If the runner was in danger of being tagged he would rest at one of the above mentioned pillows, for to be tagged off this pillow meant the losing of the co¬ veted point. Strange as it may seem, a person was seldom hurt even though the players threw these hard missiles at each other with reckless abandon. A judge, or umpire as he was called, was supposed to decide ques¬ tions arising in connection with the game, and the spectators, should they dislike his decision, would show their dissatisfaction by throwing bottles, stones, and over-ripe fruit at him. This game merely shows the bar¬ barous nature of the people of that time. 52 The Egg in the Shell (Continued from page 19) either in love with her or willing to be if she’d look at them—and the faculty wasn’t barred. To get one dance with her at any of the dances was almost as much an honor as winning a letter. However, from their junior year, it was evident that Barney and The Egg were the leading candidates for Pauline’s affec¬ tions. She and Barney were the best looking pair in the college, and yet there were times she seemed to prefer The Egg. What she saw in The Egg was more than I could imagine. He wasn ' t good to look at, being one of those dark wiry, broad shouldered fel¬ lows who weigh about a hundred and sixty and carry the strength of a two hundred pounder. Because of his good nature, all the students called him Good Egg. His real name I believe was Walter Lane, but no one in school ever called him that. He was The Egg from the time he made his freshman football team, and he remained The Egg. He was a good football man, half-back on the team and a whirlwind in an open field. He never had been out for the crew until his senior year, so great was our surprise when he came over to the gym after the holidays and announced his inten¬ tion of trying for a place in the boat. Most of us guessed what had happened, and followed his sudden interest in rowing back to Pauline Ainross. She had an idea every man in college ought to try for the crew.

J°HN DAVID Exclusive, But Not Expensive FULTON STREET AT SMITH BROOKLYN would row, created another mix- up. He and Barney were close chums, as well as rivals, and The Egg admired Barney more than he did anyone else in the world, possibly because they were so dif¬ ferent. The fact that both of them loved the same girl had not changed their feelings toward each other—until The Egg came out for the crew. It was pretty hard for Barney to decide; if he took The Egg on the crew, some would say he did it so as not to take advantage because he was captain; and if he didn’t, some might think he was stopping The Egg just because he might have a chance to win Pauline’s smiles. The Egg took to rowing as he did to everything else. He lacked weight, but his strength of back, leg, and shoulder made up for his lack of beef; and in the boat he looked good. It is the coach who makes up the crews at Sumner, but the captain has the last say and can veto the decision of a coach. Neither of the coaches wanted The Egg on the crew. When Hal Warner strained a back muscle both of them decided on Bob Tur¬ ner to fill the position; Barney objected and insisted on The Egg. Some people have an idea that a crew man doesn’t need brains; that all one needs is a strong back, strong legs and lots of beef; but The Egg had brains. He was a natural oarsman and a glutton for hang¬ ing on. All he needed was about forty pounds to be a good oars¬ man. By the time we went to our quarters on the river opposite Poughkeepsie it was quite obvious to all of us that about all we could hope for was to finish the same 54 day the others did. Cornell was down with a wonderful crew, Cali¬ fornia and Washington came with a bunch of those powerful West¬ ern boys, and there was Navy with one of the strongest crews ever put on the river. A fellow had to look around twice before he could figure a chance for us to beat any one of the eight shells entered in the race. We hadn’t rowed any race over two miles that spring, had a light and irregularly posi¬ tioned crew and had two coaches quarreling as to methods, and everyone overnerved and upset. The day before the race The Egg looked a bit scrambled. “What’s eating you ?” I de¬ manded. “I’m all right,” he answered trying to smile. “Just had a talk with Pauling.” “I’m wishing you luck,” I said. “Not a chance,” he replied try¬ ing to grin but making a mess of it. “She really likes Barney.” About an hour later, while I was sitting out on the float, think¬ ing, Barney came along. “What’s the trouble?” I asked. “This is a fine bunch of confident oarsmen. Everyone looking like a wet hen and singing those ‘Hud¬ son River Blues.’ We’re not beaten yet.” “A fine situation,” said Barney, after watching the river ten min¬ utes and getting angry ' . “Here we’ve got a crew that hasn’t much chance to win, but we’ve got to win. That’s all. He got up in a hurr y and went to the clubhouse without further words. He left me puzzled until The Egg came out and sat down on the edge of the float, a bath- COMPLIMENTS OF CLASS 8E3 J rcfcct: MR. MacCOLL Scholars and Gentlemen L. Aarons G. Jagdc G. Atkins 1. Leahy A.

What chance have we?” “None,” he admitted. “Think we can hold a quarter mile spurt after the first two miles?” “I doubt it. What are you thinking about?” “Listen Tux,” he said. “This is a case that calls for brains, not brawn. If we could make a sprint coming to the two-mile mark, and crawl up on the leaders it might work.” “What might work?” I in¬ quired. “It’s this way,” he said. “Paul¬ ine laid down a final proposition to Barney today. She thinks she’s inspiring him to greater ef¬ forts. Think of that, a fellow pulling his heart and lungs loose for her, and she thinking she can make him do more. She told him if he didn’t win this race it would be his finish.’’ “But man, we can’t win it,” T protested. “I know that,” he said sadly. “That’s why I told you this is a case where brains are needed.” The last I saw of him before rolling into bed that night was the time he had Jimmie, our cox- 56 swain, aside talking to him in low tones, and as they passed by my cot a half hour later, he said, “Re¬ member, when I give the signal.” One sees a spendid sight at Poughkeepsie on the fatal day. The cliffs to the west are spotted with people, the east side below the bridge is filled with decorated steamers and smaller craft, and the sea walls along both shores of the river are black with people. Eight crews are sitting in their narrow shells, tense and straining for the start. The last orders were spoken in low voices. Navy and Cornell were close to the west bank, Washington’s crew was in num¬ ber four position, and we were between. The gun sounded, and sixty- four blades caught the water as one, and for a wonder, our re¬ sponse was perfect. The bow of our shell shot out in front. Navy and Cornell were racing nose and nose, pulling four strokes to the minute above ours, while outside us California with its long, easy pull and quick recovery was mov¬ ing up. By the time a hundred yards had been rowed we were drop¬ ping back an inch at a time with¬ out quickening the stroke. There was no time for me to look around. I could feel the lift of the boat as Barney threw his strength into the stroke, and we all bent to it. The sounds of the cheering came to us dimly, but only the barking of the cox through the megaphone was clear. The grunting of the laboring men became plainer in the second mile.

We were doing better than we had hoped, but I knew we were falling back under the ter¬ rific pace of the three great crews fighting for victory. One does not know whether he is winning or losing, save by the orders lifting or dropping the stroke. Each pull is the last, and into it goes every ounce of strength and power. We were tiring, I knew, yet fighting dog¬ gedly, when suddenly above the monotonous barking of the cox, I heard The Egg’s voice. “Now,” he said, and suddenly the time of the cox’s voice changed, as stroke by stroke he quickened the pace. Twenty-six, twenty-eight, thirty, thirty-four to the minute he raised the stroke in the third mile of a four-mile race, and quickened us to a pace we never tried except in sprints. A wave of cheering came over the water, a shriek of whistles, and suddenly it seemed as if everv inan in the boat gained new life. We were crawling up, gaining. From the corner of one eye I caught a glimpse of the boat to the west of us and another be¬ yond, as we kept moving up. The sound of voices of other cox¬ swains came as they too lifted their strokes. We, the outsiders, were pressing them to raise theirs in order to ward off our rush. Still we were gaining, creeping up inches at a time, forging ahead with every drive of the sweeping strokes before they could equal our speed. The nose of our shell poked out in front, I afterwards learned, as we swept toward the 58 three-mile mark. Every man in our crew was throwing his whole weight and strength into each stroke, and then suddenly water splashed on my back, the shell rolled, more oars splashed. We moved on, losing speed. “Keep rowing.” It was The Egg’s voice. “Keep rowing. Don’t quit.” Mechanically, unevenly, and splashing we kept the oars mov¬ ing. Suddenly under my seat I saw water splash back and forth as the shell moved. It grew deeper. “Keep rowing,” yelled the cox. “She’s sinking, but keep rowing.” Water was pouring into the shell as it settled slowly under our weight, until the final roll brought the water pouring over the sides. Wfe sat swaying back and forth, trying to move the water-filled shell forward. An in¬ stant later we were all in the river, swimming or clinging to oars, until a patrol launch picked us up. Our reception, as the launch brought us to the finish line, was almost as great as that given Navy and Washington. The next day our pictures were in all the newspapers, and we re¬ ceived as much sympathy for our “hard luck” in springing a leak just when we seemed to be win¬ ning, as the victors did praise. The Egg and I were sitting on the clubhouse steps reading about our gallant efforts to keep row¬ ing while the shell was sinking, when Barney and Pauline came along and smiled happily toward (Continued an page 61) COMPLIMENTS OF CLASS 6A1 An At Class Prefect: MR.

I arranged with the cox to lift the stroke at two miles, sprint until we caught the leaders, and make ’em believe we had a chance to win.” After a few moments of sus¬ pense he went on: “Then,” he said seriously, “as soon as we began to break under the pace, I kicked a hole in the bottom of the shell.” (The End) MEMBERS OF 4C3 Prefect: MR.

And now I must be on my rounds once more. Adios.” Miguel watched the old man am¬ ble off into the darkness and a few moments later heard his quiv¬ ering voice floating through the night air as he told off the hour, “Las doce, todo esta bien” (“Twelve o’clock and all is well ). From cock-crow, the atmos¬ phere of Cordoba seemed charged with excitement. Usually an easy-going, sleepy city, Cordoba on that day presented a picture of activity. Men, women, and children hustled here and there; horses were being groomed and carriages were being washed; houses were being tidied up and the general aspect was that of preparation for an important event. In truth, it was an im¬ portant event. This was the dia de toros, beloved of every Span¬ iard. To the crowd this was to be a day of excitement, of fulfillment of its inherent love for bloody sport; but to Miguel and his sweetheart, it meant happiness and the fulfillment of a life-long ambition. Shortly before the time for the fight to begin, a gaily decorated carriage dashed into the already crowded plaza before the arena. It came to a halt before the tore¬ ro’s entrance and one of the foot¬ men dismounted to inquire f6r 62 SUPPORT THE A. F. E. A. Watch for the Tech Page in The Evening World Edited by The Survey Senor Perada. In a moment Miguel was out at the carriage paying his respects to Conchita and her mother, Donna Mercedes. He stood with one foot on the car¬ riage step talking earnestly to the girl and her mother until the piercing notes of the bugle an¬ nounced that the arena was being cleared. A lingering handclasp, a kiss, and Miguel left to take his place in the paseo de cuadrillas or entry march. The ladies were shown to their box, and upon the final clearing of the ring, the pres- idente, Don Estranza gave the signal to start the performance by waving his handkerchief. The band struck up an inspiring march and as the attendants opened the gates beneath the pres¬ idential box, two splendidly mounted horsemen cantered out and around the arena in opposite directions. As they met opposite their entrance they turned toward it and dashed across the ring and through the gates. A minute or two later, they reappeared in the entrance opposite the presidencia. Following them, in measured tread, came the three matadors: Miguel and his companions, Luiz and Rafael. Behind them, came their banderilleros, the mounted picadors, and the ' humble ring at¬ tendants. Bringing up in the rear was the team of mules to drag out the fallen beasts. The ap¬ plause was deafening. Just as the matadors finished making their salutations to the president, another great wave of applause and cries of “Reveri! Reveri!” burst from the throng. Someone had recognized the vis¬ iting matador and the word spread like wild-fire. With difficulty, order was restored after Reveri had moved to Don Estranza’s box to speak a few words of greet¬ ing.

The poor fel¬ low, finding his lance useless, set spurs to his horse to evade the onslaught of the bull. Luck was against him; his mount stumbled and in a flash, twelve inches of horn were embedded in the un¬ fortunate horse’s side. As the fal¬ len picador scrambled to safety, Luiz advanced toward the bull holding his scarlet cloak in front of his body. In the twinkling of an eyelash, the bull charged at his frail-looking opponent. The in¬ experienced onlooker would have expected to see Luiz torn to pieces in the furious rush, but in¬ stead, the matador, with a slight movement, stepped out of the ani¬ mal’s path and let his cloak brush over the bull’s back. Seven times Luiz evaded these rushes and, as a climax, deliberately turned his back on the bewildered brute and walked back to the other mata¬ dors. After the picadors had finished their part of the performance, which, though it consisted chiefly of enraging the bull, did draw the blood the crowd was howling for, the presidente signalled for them to retire. Although not con¬ sidered an old bull-fighter, Miguel was several years the senior of his companions and it was, there¬ fore, his right to kill the bull. Be¬ fore he delivered the coup de grace, however, his banderilleros were to show their art. The first of them advanced toward the now bloody victim with a banderilla or gayly decorated dart in each hand.

By quickly raising the muleta and drawing it the length of his opponent, the matador caused the bull to dash around after it no less than eight times.

When the cheering subsided, another bull was released from the toril and was killed by Rafael. The third contest was destined to be Luiz’s last, for in his man¬ euvers for striking position his foot slipped just as the enraged bull charged, and he was trampled to death. This sad but by no means uncommon occurrence had a temporary sobering effect on the audience, blood-thirsty as it was. Conchita nearly fainted in her box as she thought of such a possible fate for her Miguel. The closing fight of the day was for Perada and he chose to wreak vengeance on the beast that had been Luiz’s undoing. So well he did it that Reveri nearly leaped from the box to announce that Miguel was to be his champion matador. THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY FRIDAYS in Room 613 We always have something of interest to you.

JOHN MANGIONE That nigRt there was revelry in all homes but that of Luiz. It was just another evidence of hu¬ man nature: the mob cheered Luiz in his triumphs but in his death he was alone. Yet what could one expect? This was the actual lot of the toreador. At the villa of Don Estranza a great festival was being given in honor of Miguel’s betrothal and departure for Se¬ ville on the morrow. From a bal¬ cony came alluring strains of music, played by a native band, to which the guests, in gay attire, gracefully danced. The flickering light stealing through the palms, the nodding mantillas and the staccatto notes of the castanets recalled the old glory of the Span¬ ish fiesta. But in the midst of the merriment, Miguel had been growing uneasy over the slow ar¬ rival of Conchita. Visions of hold¬ ups and accidents flashed through his mind and great was his relief when his bride-to-be arrived with her mother. But what meant the distressed look and feverish cheeks of the girl ? She hastily ran to Miguel’s arm choking back a sob and cried, “Miguel, my love, let us go to a quiet spot. I must tell you some¬ thing on which our happiness de¬ pends.” Rather taken aback by this un¬ usual outburst, Perada led her out on the moonlit veranda and side by side they sat down on one of the benches. For a moment neither spoke but it was Conchita who finally broke the silence. “Miguel, I have loved you ever since we were children. Your joys have been my joys and your sorrows my sorrows. Never was I more thrilled than- when you There is no merchandise that is offered the public that is more susceptible of misrepresentation or dishonesty in manufac¬ ture than jewelry.

But today brought more than an opportun¬ ity; it brought the nearest thing to tragedy into my life. Well you know that Luiz’s fate could have been yours; and then what would become of me?” “Conchita!’’ Miguel exclaimed. “What can you mean ?” “Just this, querido mio; if you love me, you will give up this bloody arte de toros and not go to Seville tomorrow.” “Are you possessed of devils, ‘Chita’? Think what your request means. Think of the fine carriages, the beautiful gowns, the palatial villa and the fame awaiting us at Seville.

No, sweetheart, I cannot give up de toreo yet.” He felt her shaking under the strain of suppressed sobs and when she had regained her speech she freed herself from his arms, said haughtily, “I take it, then, that this is goodbye, and walked slowly back to the revelry. Mig¬ uel sat alone dazed for many minutes and it was Don Estranza who found him, head bowed, in deep dejection. The host sur¬ mised the cause and cautioned the young matador against carrying the sorrow into the ring on the morrow. Morning dawned ere the fiesta came to an end, but by that time many miles separated Perada from the scene of the shattering of his dreams. As he entered the chapel ad¬ joining the great Corrida de Toros at Seville, accompanied by Reveri and his other matador, Miguel felt a pang of infinite sadness and loneliness. True, here was Seville, glory, and the big opportunity; but also there was a void in his heart. In the flurry of forming in line for the paseo de cuadrillas, the dejection was partially dispelled. Accustomed as he was to the gay splendor of the throng in the arena at Cordoba, Perada thrilled at the mammoth kaleidoscope spread before him. Volleys of ap¬ plause rocked the air as the sig¬ nal for the first combat was given by the presidente, Senor Ferrante. COMPLIMENTS OF CONSOLIDATED DAIRY PRODUCTS COMPANY, INC.

WEDDING AND BIRTHDAY CAKES A SPECIALTY AT SHORT NOTICE The order of performance was but slightly different from that to which Miguel was accustomed and consequently he felt at home. By the time his turn came to kill a bull he felt that he was the master of himself. He went be¬ fore the presidencia to dedicate the bull. As he reached the middle of his speech, he fancied he saw Conchita standing arms out¬ stretched, in Senor Ferrante’s place. He recoiled as though he had been struck and finished the speech with difficulty. Fickle hu¬ manity ! No sooner did the audi¬ ence notice the situation than it proceeded to hiss Perada roundly for seemingly being afraid. With a carefree shrug of his shoulders he turned toward the bull.

Hesitation was a thing never tolerated by an audience at a bull¬ fight, and as the discomfited mat¬ ador was taking longer than usual to determine the vital spot on the bull’s neck, the hissing broke out anew. Miguel tried to be pa¬ tient, but just as he was about to lunge forward, the vision of his broken-hearted sweetheart ap¬ peared before him once more. He lunged, missed the exact spot, and in the wild convulsion of the bull at his fresh agony, Miguel was tossed twenty feet away to fall writhing on the sand. An at¬ tending surgeon was rushed to his aid but as the injury was fatal he was taken to the chapel for the last rites. The dying matador lay on a cot in the dim interior of the chapel gazing intently at the altar on which a ray of sunlight fell and before which a priest was kneeling. In his hand he clutched a wilted rose. Suddenly a shadow fell across the altar and painfully Miguel turned to see, standing in the doorway, Conchita, a picture of supreme grief. She rushed to his side and pressed his head to her breast crying, “Miguel, Mig¬ uel, why did I do it? I should have known that you could never leave the bull ring and be happy. I tried so hard to get here in time, but now—. Forgive me, Miguel, forgive me!’’ 73 AFTER GRADUATION WHAT? SAVAGE NORMAL SCHOOL For Physical Education DR. WATSON L.
