Editor of the Thistle, Carnegie Technical Schools, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dear Sir:— Yours of March 9th received. It seems only yesterday that the Carnegie Schools Were established, and yet you tell me that the Third A nnual Volumc of the Thistle is in preparation. Hou) time flies! But looking back and considering what has been accomplished in the three years, it all seems marvelous. None of the departments of the Technical Schools. I am sure, has produced finer results than that devoted to the education of young Women, and I am very sure none promises to do so in the future. Congratulating all the students upon the good that has been done and the promise we have of further triumphs, I am, Always very truly yours, Andrew Carnegie. 5 Contents •M-H Pirc Andrew Carnegie's Letter.............................. 5 Dedication............................................ 7 J.

'Brashear whose unflagging interest, and untiring efforts, as a member of the Committee on Technical Schools, has secured for our institution many of the advantages and privileges that we so well enjoy, and whose contributions to science have Won for him a place among the great men of the world. John A. Brashear OHX A. BRASHEAR was born at Brownsville. Pa., in the year 1840. With the rest of the boys of the neighborhood, lie attended common school,—a very common school, as Mr. Brashear puts it. for it was only a very ordinary two-roomed, brick building. But be that as it may. it gave him his first insight into learning, and instilled that desire for knowledge, which has made him the great scholar that he is. ____ After leaving public school, in order to learn a trade, he apprenticed himself, as pattern-maker, to a steam boat engine manufactory, in his native town. In i860 he removed to Louisville, K , where he again found work with a steam engine builder. Louisville was one of the hot beds of the Confederacy, and the fact that he was a Northerner, and had sworn allegiance to the Union, made things so unpleasant that he was forced to leave. He came to Pittsburgh, and accepted a position as millwright with Zug Painter, and for the next twenty years lie was closely associated with rolling-mill work. Throughout all this time, however, he had been faithfully enlarging upon his elementary knowledge of astronomy, which his grandfather, Nathaniel Smith, had first imparted to him as a boy. It was exceedingly difficult, up hill work, filled with discouragements, and demanding untiring labor. He had to solve the most difficult problems, and penetrate the deepest of sciences, almost without help or assistance. During his stay with Zug Painter he made a very careful study of the heavens, usually taking his candle and star map on the river bank and getting behind the pig metal piles, locating the principal stars in a constellation until they became very familiar to him. There was but one man in Pittsburgh. Professor Langley, who had any knowledge of astronomy, and while the assistance he did render was invaluable, yet Mr. Brashear would not impose upon him to any great extent. With the help of his wife. Phoebe Stewart, whose encouragement and labor did much to win success for her husband, he made, by three years’ work at night, a five-inch lense and telescope. Not content with this, he began the grinding of a twelve-inch reflecting telescope glass. After two and a half years, when the lense was nearing completion, during which time he had worked almost S every evening from the time of getting home from the rolling mill, till away into the small hours of the morning, the glass broke in the process of silvering. The bitter discouragement of that night Mr. Brashear will never forget, it was one of the greatest disappointments he ever experienced. But the experience gained front that defeat served him wonderfully, for in less than three months he had reproduced his mirror lense. The work given him by Langley and others, who had heard of his accomplishments, made such a demand upon his time, that he began contemplating withdrawing from rolling mill work, and make a business of the manufacture of optical instruments. It was a grave question that faced him. With his rolling mill practice he had a steady income, while the astronomical business was a doubtful and untried field. A trial advertisement, calling the attention of amateur astronomers to his goods, brought such good results that lie determined to risk the venture. William Thaw became interested in his work, and made an offer to set him up in business in a suitable shop, which kind proposition Mr. Brashear accepted. So began his wonderful career as a manufacturer of optical instruments. It is only when one begins to understand the nature and requirements of such work that one really appreciates it. The precision, the delicacy, the minuteness of the work, requires, a patience and skill of no ordinary character. To-day Mr. Brashear is known the world over for his astronomical discoveries, and his ability as a manufacturer of optical goods; and yet for all ibis fame, to his friends, lie is the same modest, unassuming John Brashear of the rolling mill renown. He has always been associated with educational interests and as a member of our own building committee, he has served Tech faithfully and well, and has secured for us many of the advantages we now possess. His chief desire is that young men may get an education without encountering all the vicissitudes and privations that he so continuously. yet so successfully, met. It would be but idle of me to attempt to honor Or. Brashear with words. The world has done it so much better, so much more effectively than ever could I. Like all truly great lives it speaks for itself, and conveys in its own subtle way the force, the purpose, the determination, the bigness, of his character, and presents a life that should be a stimulus to every man, in as much as it shows that a great life of usefulness, is not for the favored elect, but for him who will earnestly strive to achieve it. 11 W. G. April 20th, 190S. My dear Students of the Carnegie Technical School: LITTLE note from your friend Brashear for the Thistle. What shall 1 write about? Here's a thought, expressed in the words of a great writer, None arc so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. Be not simply good, be good for something”. Yes— enthusiasm is the talismanic word that means success in life's work. Without it. failure will be written at the end of your career, and if 1 can say a word that will stir within your souls that pure and inspiring enthusiasm that makes for good in your preparation for life's duties, it will be full pay with interest, for all I have done for you and the Schools since my connection with this splendid scheme, projected and fostered by Mr. Carnegie— and for which my colleagues on the Board of Trustees have worked so long and earnestly. Renan in addressing a graduating class of the Ecole Polytcchniquc—recognizing the value of enthusiasm—love—intense love for the pursuits the students had chosen for their life work—made use of these beautiful works, Give me the fragrance of a rose, if it last but a moment, rather than the scentless immortelle if it last forever”. , Ah, my boys, these words have a grand, a glorious meaning in them. Who of you would wish to be compared to the lifeless immortelle, useless—save for ornament, fragrantlcss, dead. Place a wreath of these scentless dowers by the side of a rose—and which will be your choice? I have no fear of the choice you will make. Don't be afraid to think; hard thinking, naturally dcvelopes into strong doing. Don't be afraid to work; independence and self respect arc essential to happiness and these can never be obtained without work. Finally don’t forget in your ethical relations with one another, the beautiful words of Robert Louis Stevenson: I expect to pass through this world but once. If therefore there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do any fellow human being, let me do it now, let me not defer or neglect it. for I will not pass this way again”. Wishing you all the success that should come to you, I am Faithfully your friend. John A. Brashear. 12 The Carnegie Institute and Library Building • 4 OF THE ++++ W. N'. FREW. President S. II.

To lhe Students: You have heard so often from me during the past year, that I feel confident a few additional lines will neither affect your peace of mind, nor add much to the message which is given through this publication. The acquisition of a place for recreation and play marks, perhaps, the most important student development during the year. The participation in this movement by the students is wholesome and in accordance with the principles of partnership. 1 he growth and development of the student organizations throughout the institution has been phenomenal. 1 he literary, scientific, and the dramatic societies vie with the social activities in producing an atmosphere which is encouraging development in the Carnegie I echnical Schools. The spirit of institutional life as expressed by these student activities will long linger in the memory of all the young men and women of this institution after graduation, and be a bond which will bind our Alumni by tics of affection to the Alma Mater. The Faculty. I am sure, join with me in this expression of pleasure at our close union, and treasure deeply at heart the hope that teaching and student ties may be replaced by those of permanent friendship. The growth of the student body, and the increase in the facilities promise great things for the future, and your Director, freshly returned from Europe, feels that a year so filled with incidents and achievements, and which marks the graduation of the Charter Class, is significant with promise for the future. Gratefully I recall the reception accorded me on my return. This welcome will live long in my memory, and be cherished and remembered as one of the happiest days of my e Arthur A.

We have had as our aim, the production of a book which would be characteristic of all that is best in connection with school life at C. T. S. We hope that the 1908 Thistle will cause many a man to look back, in after years, and see again the pleasant, the real, the humorous, and the serious sides of our school life. We then would ask that you read, think and try to see between lines that which we have unintentionally overlooked. Trusting that you will find in the pages which follow, such as will increase your love for the Applied Science School of the Carnegie Technical Schools, we turn over to those whom we represent and their friends, the Applied Science School Section of the 1908 Thistle. 20 Sdk@x3 fl ©If Aippfadl So©®©© FACULTY Alexander J.

Pfeil 34 Senior Class Distort T hardly seems necessary to again mention the date upon which tlie Senior Class was founded, hut, as the Senior history is necessarily an outline of the important events of the entire active life of the class, October the fifteenth, Nineteen Hundred and Five can hardly he omitted from this chronicle. On this date there gathered together, in the assembly hall, a crowd of awed, and. we must confess, slightly green young men, coming from many parts of our country. It could rightly be called a gathering of individuals, and not the assembly of a class, as there was nothing yet to cement us as a class of fellow students and comrades. (B. S.) When we had become, in a measure, slightly acquainted, the formal organization of the class was undertaken. Here our troubles began. After several committees had been appointed, several reports had been made, and many arguments had been fought out. the present constitution was finally formulated and accepted. A blind election took place shortly after this, and Mr. Hunt, Mr. Foster, and Mr. Parsons were elected to the offices, though few of us knew at this time who these men were or what they looked like. Though the election was blind, the choice proved to be a lucky-one and the administration turned out to be very successful. Shortly after the first strangeness had worn off, a few school organizations were undertaken, chief among these are the (� lcc Club, Mandolin Club, and the Hockey Team. These have a place in the class history, as they were at this time class organizations. About half of this year was thus spent in becoming acquainted and in settling down in the new life. The second term of office opened with Mr. Foster as President; Mr. Henderson, Vice President; Mr. Hunt. Secretary, and Mr. Coursin as Treasurer. There were few exciting events in this part of the year, as we were not troubled by any upper class men to dispute our rights, and were “monarchs of all we surveyed (under Hohanm). There is one bright spot to which we may all look back and remember as the beginning of that class spirit that has since united us as one, and has carried us through many exciting events since then. The banquet, to which I refer, was the first step towards these friendships which, we hope, will last through life. 35 It was with many strange sensations that we returned and entered for tlie second school year. There were many new faces invading what we had come to consider our property, sacred ground reserved for our own use exclusively. It is not strange that our class disputes were hitter and frequent. actuated as we were both by the natural spirit of rivalry that exists between classes and by the idea entertained by our Class that they were intruders, infringing upon our rights. These intruders (Plebcs we called them), added to the fire by attempting to raise themselves to the same level as that occupied by our class, and attempted to usurp our privileges, and wrest them from ns. Karly in this year we met to elect officers, but, owing to a misunderstanding, a few did not attend. Those elected at this meeting were Mr. Foster, Mr. Hunt. Mr. Steen, and Mr. Provost. Contrary to the statements made by a few dissenting spirits of the class, the administration was a marked success, work being undertaken and accomplished by these officers that would have been impossible had weaker men held the reins. Much precious time was wasted this term in teaching lessons of obedience and respect to the Plebcs, and finally, after many defeats, they came to recognize their places in the institution. As the matters of class banquets, kidnapping, and snow ball fighting are an old story and take their place as ancient history, .they need no mention here except that they stand as warnings not to be overhard on the present Juniors and Plebcs. as we were once young and foolish also. The officers for the fourth term of office, the second half of the second year, were elected at a quiet meeting, the honors falling to Mr. Sampson. Mr. Coursin, Mr. Thurston and Mr. Wallace. As in the first year there was a high water mark of success, so there is one event of the second year that few of us are likely to forget. Those that attended the Junior Prom will bear me out in this statement as a most enjoyable evening was spent by all there. And now we enter uj on our last year of school. Almost immediately upon our return to school, the business of electing officers was again taken up. these men to hold office during the entire senior year. Mr. Henderson. Mr. Schumacher. Mr. Xcudorfer. and Mr. Pfeil were elected to the offices for the year. First among our duties as Seniors was that of refereeing the athletic contests between the Juniors and Plebcs. Of these events, Dot” as a wrestler may easily be called the feature of the day, as he was the largest attraction on the field. The Plebcs, who then seemed to be a spiritless 36 bunch, stood around and watched the Juniors perform. When the Plebc president was led around the field, his arms tied behind him, they viewed the performance with astonishment, ami permitted it. Imagine that spirit in Naught Eight! A second Junior Prom was given by Naught Nine, in honor of Naught Eight. A fine evening was spent at the Schcnley. The evening was such a success that even the thoughts of !.al . Notes. Calc., and Physics were temporarily banished from the busy minds of the Seniors. We congratulate you. Naught Nine, you did a wonderful thing. There are a few events in the dim future to which we all look forward with great expectations. At present they arc overshadowed by the Easter recess, hut, when this has been left behind. we will all center our interests on the Senior Ball, and Senior banquet to be closely followed by that awe inspiring day— Commencement . And now that this final year draws near its close a spirit of restlessness has taken possession of us.—a curiosity to know what Fate has in store forus. Opposing this spirit is the love for our Alma Mater which causes us to look forward to the parting day with many pangs of regret that our days together are so few. As we leave the school we deed all that remains behind, our privileges and rights, to those that follow, but we take with us in our journey our love for Naught Eight and the Alma Mater, and the right to always supplant for ourselves, when we hear others yell, the one veil of all, Rah! Kah ! Rah! Naught Eight! A. YV. Rinehart, 1908. 17 Our first Graduates +++ Norman Clarke Applegate, Arc iS. Pittsburg, Pa.

Sept. 16. 1907. ear Uncle: C), Unkic, guess who I saw today? Well it was Gibby; lie is back at school and looking dandicr than ever. He seems awfully thin, though, lie says that the indications point to a hard winter, for the Faculty is not at all averse to handing out plenty of work. I feel sorry for him. It was funny to see the fellows slap him on the back and call him Old Scout. Sport, and a hundred other endearing titles, a trifle vague and promiscuous perhaps, but none the less hearty for all that, lie is awful popular, Unkic. I got my first peep at the new men. the Plebes, today. They weren't much to see. however, being too insignificant and childish for my taste: I prefer the Juniors, but then maybe I have reason to. These Plebes are too fresh in more ways than one. Gibby told me of one instructor who voiced his opinion of them when he said, “You fellows want to use your heads when you ram up a mould. Some slam wasn't it. They don't scent to be hunting trouble, for they keep pretty clear-of the Juniors. It's just as well for them, perhaps, that they do. Gibby told me the best story about Mr. Hamilton, the instructor in Machine Shop (you know lie's the man that's always feeling his moustache to see if it is still on). Mr. Hamilton labored all summer over that moustache, but 1 guess he met with only indifferent success, for one of the stenographers told me that his soft, willowy wisps didn’t feel like real whiskers at all. Well. Mr. Hamilton was in the rear of the room when Director Hamerschlag was introducing the new members of the Faculty to the students today, (Gibby says they all look easy) aiid when his name was announced, that gentleman persisted in remaining where he was. It was only when all the boys began yelling “Down in front! Down in front! that lie haltingly advanced, trying, poor man. as best as possible, but very ineffectually, to conceal his upper lip. O I just think those boys were simply horrid. It 62 was too much for one of the stenographers, who had been recording the Director’s speech, and indignant at the outrage offered Mr. Hamilton, and a trille confused perhaps by those earsplitting yells of “Down in front. which had increased in volume, she arose, and in as conciliatory tone as possible said, “It might be down in front now. Mr. Hamilton, but sometime they will be whiskers.” Those fellows just fairly shrieked. I think they arc awfully mean. I told Gibhy so. Sept. 20, 1907. Dear Uncle: Did you ever hear of a Barbecue? Well I’m just over it. No it’s not a disease, it’s worse. Director llamersehlag said it was something the barbaric tribes used to have, so he guessed it would suit the two lower classes. Complimentary, wasn’t it? His real idea it seems was to have the Plebes make their debut, without having the Juniors disfigure them, or hurt their feelings. Gibby fairly went off the handle when I happened sort of innocently to remark, that it would be a good opportunity to meet some of the Plebes, and he wanted to know what right they had to be fed. or pampered, or introduced to us girls, or, I believe, to live. The newspapers caught the spirit of the occasion, and the pink tea, as they put it, together with a list of lady-like athletic attractions, received a prominent place in all the society columns. W hen we girls arrived on the scene, the Juniors were having wrestling matches with the Plebes. It was just absolutely brutal the way they rolled over one another, and at first 1 wouldn't look at them, but I soon became as excited as the rest, and just shrieked for joy when the Juniors won. Next came the tug of war. You remebnier Dot Kclkcl about whom such an awful report was heard last vear. and who incidently strains the scales at 250? Well, the Juniors had him on their end of the rope. Of course they won, but just like them, not fully appreciating the embryonic state of the Plebe mind, they deserted the rope to celebrate their victory, leaving poor Dot tied to the end! The Plebes not knowing when they were worsted, continued to pull on the rope, and although Dot resisted mightily, they—he—O I don't know how to express it. Miss Smith says we are to be always dignified and classical in our expressions. Well to follow out Miss Smith's idea, like Longfellow’s 63 Arab of old who pitched his tent. Dot preparing to flee, pulled up his stakes, or perhaps to be more exact, sat down on them and was pulled. Now do you get the idea. 1‘nkie? One of the fellows that helped pick Dot up. remarked admiringly, “Well. Dot. you have got sand. “Yes, replied Dot, laconically. as he dusted his pants and emptied his pockets. I don't know what Mr. Kelkcl thinks of us girls for laughing and shrieking at him the way we did, but honest. Unkie, he looked so cute, we just couldn't help it. The Juniors did their best to rouse the Plebes. even offering an ordinary, common, everyday class light over a flag. M e girls were all ready to run at the least sign of the light coming our way. and some of the braver ones were even talking of becoming heroines by tending the wounded. It was the tamest thing I ever saw. Why I lost more hair myself in our last class light than all those boys put together. True, the Plebes did gather, talk, shake their lists, then rush, but in the wrong direction. All they did was to spoil what might have been a good light that we all could have enjoyed. Everybody had acquired an appetite bv this time which looked bad for the roast ox. and indeed it wasn't long until it was only a skeleton of its former self. And then afterwards. O. L’nkie. did you ever dance around the leaping flames of a bonfire, with a boy on one arm, and a piece of roast ox in the other, intermingling flashes of coquettish wit with breathless acclamations of joy. and do the snake dance, and the barn dance, and a hundred other dances, and sing to beat the band (for there was one there), and flirt with all the boys, and make Gibby mad. ami then make up and tell him lie’s the only pair of old shoes you would ever wear? Well. Unkie, if you haven’t done all this, you have my sympathies, you old fogy. O fudge, 1 wish I were a Junior. Yours, Maggy. Oct. 15. 1907. Dkak Unci.k: Gibby and I went to the W. U. P. football game today. Gibby wanted to double his money or. the game, and after he had placed all his. he started in to invest mine, so I could get in on the profits. 'Phe game was simply great. I shouted through my megaphone, until some Wup man turned round, and said that if 1 didn’t quit yelling in his ear he’d go daffy, the nasty tiling, and then his girl 64 laughed, and I giggled, and Gibby said instead of going daffy, he could go somewhere else, and everybody got excited because V. U. P. was losing, and we had an awful mess. And O Unkic, our team lost just by the littlest bit of a score, but Gibby had to give those Vu| fellows our good money just the same, and we had to walk home, and Gibby says he'll have to do without lunch for a week. I heard a real good story about those Plcbcs, which just shows how utterly utter they are. One of them, all sported up. came into the office today, and asked one of the stenographers if she could send a telegram for him. When told that she could, he began dictating the following. ‘‘Governor. Overworked. Nerves upset. Am off for Duqucsnc Heights.” ‘‘I say,” said the stenographer, “1 have forgotten how to spell Duqucsnc. Can you help me?” “Yes, he replied, it's Due—Dusq—Dues—O hang it. I'll go to Mt. Washington. Yours. Maggy. Nov. i2. 1907. Dkar Unci.k: We have just had such an awful fright tonight, and I’m not over it yet. 1 thought that we would be all murdered and robbed before the police arrived, and then when I discovered that I had made a mistake, everybody sat down on me. but really, Uncle, it wasn’t my fault, it was just those silly Plcbcs. You remember how Sampson, the strong man, was captured last year, and a banquet spoiled, well, would you believe it. the l’lebes fell into the same trap. One of the Juniors discovered that they were going to have a feed, and he immediately started things. They secured the Plcbc president, Mr. Martin (who Gibby says is a bird of a fellow), took him through an awful looking tunnel all filled with heating pipes, and stowed him in the boiler room of Mechanical Hall. The thoroughness of the search for Martin which followed, made necessary his removal, and at dark the Juniors started out with him through the mud, for it had rained for the last three days. At the edge of the ravine back of the schools, the Plcbcs rushed down upon them, and in the fight which followed, they all, grappling and tugging, went over the edge and down the steep slope together. I wish you could have seen Gibby afterwards. lie was an awful sight, with mud from head to foot, in which were all sorts of rocks, and 65 bushes, .md even a young tree. And mad; lie was just simply ripping. It seems that the PIcbe with whom Gibby was arguing was on top when they went over the brink, and he kept his seat on Gibby's chest all the way down, and of course poor Gibby got all the mud. I don’t wonder he was mad. The Plebes put Martin into a wagon, and finally got him to a doctor’s office, where he was rested and refreshed. The Juniors, directed by three of their number who had followed the rescuers, ejected the Plebes, and once more took Martin in charge, boarded a street car. and made off with him. You know I'rlings arc our next door neighbors. Somebody told those credulous Plebes that Martin was at the Urling home, so a band of them came prowling around, looking everywhere, lighting matches, and trying windows. Mother saw them, and immediately became hysterical, and said that we would all be murdered. I. Unkie, (not knowing anything of the Martin escapade at the time) played the heroine, and called up the police. I guess both the Plebes and police had something pleasant to say of me when they cleared up the complications. I don't care, it served the Plebes right. Some fears were entertained as to the safety of Wcidlcin, the Junior president, but when one remembered his avoirdupois, abducting him seemed ridiculous and absurd. Later The Plebes had their banquet without their president. Some Juniors in white sheets went down to see them, but the police preferring a front sheet in the morning paper, put the ban on such curiosity, and sent them all home. I saw a menu card. Guess what their motto was. Well, it's that old quotation of Butler's, Pigs is pigs”. Quite appropriate, wasn’t it? I haven't enjoyed anything, except watching Gibby clean the mud off his clothes, so much as the newspaper comments on the affair. Really they gave it a tone and color, and dwelt upon the spilt blood and gore, until it’s interesting reading. I hope you will enjoy it. The Plebes haven't acquired a calm state of mind yet. Dec. 15, 1907. Dear Uncle: I begin to see my finish. School closes tomorrow for the holidays. Gibby is all cut up about 66 his grades, poor boy; he says their such dashed uncertain things, you never can tel! anything about them. He got “L” in Physics, which, I suppose, stands for Lowe”. I forgot to tell you that Mr. ink Dowling was elected captain of the football team (he also holds the same honors on the track team) and Mr. Thompson manager. The Juniors, as it is natural, arc running everything. The funniest thing happened today. A boy, who I knew only as a Junior, came up to me, and 1 suppose asked if I had a railroad time table. I was busy at the time, and did not want to be bothered. so I said, in as disparaging a tone as possible. Name and business, please.” I’m Potts, and want to get out on the Panhandle as quickly as possible,” he replied. Young man. said I. adopting the tone you use when I ask for a new bonnet, “you’ll be getting out of the Potts into the lire, if you don’t look out.” Jan. 5. 1908. Dkar Unci.k: Back at school. This being Leap Year. I proposed to three boys, and Gibby is so mad he won’t speak to me. I don’t care, he can.stay mad, only I feel sort of lonely. There is nothing doing but class scraps over the Thistle hoard. You know these schools are peculiar in some respects. There arc men here that you don't sec every day. in fact, sonic of them come out only at night. But they want to be represented in the book just the same. Then we girls are afraid we will be Miss-represented, ami we don’t know what to do. Altogether we arc having a nice time of it. Yours, Maggy. Dkar Unci.k: What do you think? Gibby asked 111c to go to the Junior Prom. Gibby is such a dear fellow. He calls me Honey now. I don't know why, unless it’s because he has discovered that I had the hives once. Now, you dear old guardian Uncle, do say I can go. Please. I’m just dying to Wear my 67 new pink Princess, with the medallions down the front. Gibby says he guesses he’ll have to wear a dress suit, but he is dashed if he wants to. Now do let me go, won't you? Yours lovingly, Maggy. Dear Uncle: Feb. 29, 1908. How different in the morning. O dear but I'm tired. It was simply great last night though. Gibby put off looking for a dress suit until it was almost too late, for everything was cleaned up, and lie began to fear that he would have to go in undressed fashion. He finally rented one from an old Hebrew, which, when I saw, I declared was a perfect fit. but really it didn't look so badly when he bent his knees a trifle, and folded his arms. Anyhow he was better off than one of the boys of very generous proportions whose room-mate brought him a pair of rather slim trousers and which took the two of them an hour to work on with the aid of a shoe horn. Of course, we got there late. Gibby couldn’t get his tie tied, and had to come to me for assistance. O. Unkie, I wish you could have seen that ball room. It was perfectly gorgeous. There were booths in the corners of the room, all fixed up in fraternity colors. I asked one man how he liked the booths, but from the way he looked at me, I know he thought 1 said boose. The girls were in low necks, and short sleeves, very beautiful 1 dare say, but some of them were not so pretty as they were painted. We got along all right, until after the Grand March. Then Gibby began to get fussed. I found him (knees carefully bent and arms folded) in the midst of a pompous recital of his last appearance at the Inaugural Hall, all given for the benefit of five or six admiring girls. I knew something would happen, and I tried to catch his eye. but was too late. Somebody came up and slapped him on the back, and called his attention to a tag on his coat, which to my consternation, I recognized as the trade mark of the Hebrew merchant. O yes,” said Gibby. pulling it off in a careless manner, “that was the tag given me. when I checked my coat at that Inaugural Ball. Hadn’t worn it since, don't you know.” I trembled for the poor boy; he never realized it was a spike he wore. “O say Gibby,” said his tormentor, with a malicious grin, pointing to a similar tag on his pants, You didn't check your pants too, did you?’ 68 Naturally, Uncle, the story of the Inaugural Ball was never completed; instead Gibby smoked and cussed, and cussed and smoked, and cussed again. I never saw him so mad, and when I finally got him in to supper, the only thing he said, was that it was a dashed dirty shame the way these hotel people roused your appetite and never satisfied it. Naturally I didn’t talk either, and we had a pretty dry time of it. But really we began to enjoy ourselves in the second half, for no one could see Professor Hokanson do the barn dance and be out of sorts. We couldn't, and we were really sorry when the affair came to an end. 1 almost wore the soles off my pumps dancing. I never had a better time. I met some awfully nice boys. 1 do hope they will call. March 12. 1908. Dk.nk Uxci.k: We just had the best time of our lives to-day. Director Hamerschlag returned home from Europe and those awful boys cut loose to welcome him. They tied a long rope to his carriage and every last one of them got in line, and pulled the Director and his wife all over Oakland. And then to plague Eatty, the cop, they snake danced on the grass, and climbed all over Bigelow’s monument. Then the Seniors began speech-making, but a well directed bucket of water did not foster the program. The boys now marched up to our building, where they performed all sorts of stunts. 1 guess Miss Smith rather wishes Fatty had pinched them all. anyhow she made us remain inside at the open windows. We were altogether unprepared when the boys rushed for the windows, and although the other girls tried to close ours, in some fortunate way or other, I got my hand caught, and kept it open until the boys got in. Would you believe it. Unkic, every last one of them came through that window, inarched up to the gymnasium, and announced that there would be a dance. Were we frightened? Yes, for fear the Faculty would not allow it. The Director was downstairs, the boys up. and our teachers didn't know what to do. Finally we were all taken to hear the Director’s speech. About all I remember of it was that he gave permission for the dance. He’s all right, anyhow, Unkie. 69 When I got upstairs again. I found Gibby coming out of the lunch room, all covered with butter, and splashed with milk, holding a cup of cocoa in one hand, and a couple of rolls in the other. What do you think? Those awful boys had rushed in there, and taken all our lunch, and hadn't left anything at all. O! 1 think they are awfully mean. 1 told Gibby so. True they offered to make some of their number wash the dishes, but that didn't satisfy our hunger. Well, wc had an awfully nice time. Gibby and 1 had four barn dances together. Kverybody was so jolly and genial, and I introduced myself to four or five boys I've just been dying to know and never gotten the chance. The boys had ice cream sent in. and we just had the loveliest party, and nobody cared if they had eaten all our lunch. The boys were just dandv. And when we left, we could hear the shouts of the Juniors, echoing, and re-echoing, reverberating, and intensifying into one mighty all-inspiring shout for Tech ’09. Yours, Maggy Murphy.

Xicin' History 01 me Glass 011910 T may sound very conceited on the part of our Class of 1910 to say that the Faculty oi this school is proud of us, and couldn’t live without us, hut 'tis a fact nevertheless and the truth will out. We are not such a good looking bunch that our presence should he necessary as an inspiration; nor are we so well behaved that we were needed as an example for the younger generation of the school; hut he all that as it may there surely is some reason why each and every one of us received not one hut two personal letters from the Registrar notifying us that school would start on October the ----- and further requesting our presence on that occasion. Well, we came, that is. those of us whose po lies came in first in last year’s futurity, hut such a greeting we received after such solicitation. ’Twas not unlike a Im x of chocolates filled with pepper, 'flic Faculty loved ns so much that they wanted to see us every night; no, just four nights each week. Strange, but I predicted such a condition in last year’s Thistle. Did we kick and grow angry? Oh no. We held a mass meeting and suggested to the Honorable Faculty that they were undermining their individual healths by coming to school four nights. However, self-sacrificing as is their custom they decided to try it for a month. (I'. S. They must have liked it for we arc still coming.) � Of course, in order to appear life-like we had to have class officers. Everybody was at the meeting. George Smith opposed Ex-President Jack Skeehan for the Presidency, and Smith won for this reason. Jack was a bachelor for awhile last year, but one day he got married. Now the rest of us got sore because he gave us the slip that way and so we voted for Smith, who was married before Carnegie ever thought of a Tech School. Mister Herron, commonly known as Jimmy, the class joke—I mean joker—was elected Vice President after solemnly swearing not to perpetrate any more “parlor jokes. Jim Reed said he could get 8 per cent interest on our money at the Farmers Rank through his influence as a Director. He was accordingly made Secretary and Treasurer. A tie resulted in the vote for Historian, Taxis and Frank running neck and neck—away from the job. Before another 7 vote was taken, Frank sent some of his adherents out into the hall thereby hoping to lose out, but Taxis, resorting to bribery and coercion, compelled his many friends to desist, thus forcing the awful thing on to Frank’s shoulders. The classes were divided this year, according to our selection of courses:—Civils, Mechanicals, Klectricals, Chemists, and Metallurgists. The first named had the largest enrollment, and the last the smallest. The Mechanicals did the most kicking, petitioning the Faculty twice for reduction in the amount of work. Notwithstanding the awful grind there appeared an over-abundance of H's and Cs. We claim to have had more high grades than any previous third year night class in these schools. In direct contra-distinction to last year we had many class meetings called for many different purposes, and as a general rule the men of 1910 seemed to be imbued with an infinite amount of school spirit. More ’10 men were in attendance at the Glee Club Concert than those of any other class. Moreover there came into existence a real live Frat. the Theta Beta Psi, which bids fair to keep well to the front. An example of its go-aheadness was shown at the Concert where they had a lower box decorated with the Frat’s pennant. One sad feature of the year must be recorded. A session extraordinary was held in February by the Faculty. 'Flic cause we Icarncl soon thereafter. It came to their attention that the Civils were not matured enough to delve into the mysteries of Physics. Consequently their futile efforts to master the study retarded the progress of the other classes. Safe-guarding the many against injury from contact with the few, the Faculty in its wisdom took away from the Civils the privilege of enjoying Tuesday night in the Laboratory. Poor Civils—no Physics. ’Twas quite a hardship but they acted civilly about it. 'flic Banquet Committee consisted of Frank, Chairman: Taxis, Burgess, Grot he and Schwartz. With this committee in charge the class, at the time this book is going to press, is looking forward with longing eyes to a most enjoyable evening on the night of April 25th. the date selected for the annual banquet. 'File year, as a whole, has been fraught with plenty of hard work for everybody. 'Flic majority of us arc somewhat anxious for May 8th to arrive when we shall lay aside for the summer our guessing sticks and lab. books which have occupied so much of our time since last October. We feel that a long vacation is our just reward, and hope to meet again as Juniors at the opening of school next October. 77 Chh.mists and Metallurgists. 1910. Night Mkciiaxicai.s, 1910.

Wagner A History oi me Piece Glass P certainly is queer why so many things begin at the beginning. Personally I would much rather it were the other way. Historians, especially have this habit about everything they write, in fact, it is so prevalent that for all the time 1 have spent in looking for one who had the courage to depart from the well worn and well beaten paths of his predecessors and be a Sulphide, only one has come to my notice and they burned all of his manuscripts before they were ever published! It seems, then, that I must follow in the lead of the illustrious and shining lights who have preceded me. and be a Bromide, after all. It was a calm and balmy day; students large and students small were trudging toward the Tech School. As they rounded the corner of the Institute and caught their first view of the buildings. a sort of an F.va-pursucd-by-thc-blood-hounds expression took possession of their features, but on they went. The majority lost their nerve on the front steps and balked, the Park at that point being filled with sad looking youths taking advantage of the momentary lull to offer up a prayer, and gaze with longing eyes for the last time in tiie direction of their respective domiciles. Someone ventured into the interior of the buildings and saw the smiling face and red hair of one of our now worthy class mates, who took great pleasure in announcing that the doors would open a few minutes before the hour, yes the room to the left. no. there was no doctor on duty in the building, but they could telephone at any time, an ambulance after the examinations were over? Oh. yes. that could be arranged all right. Entrance requirements all fulfilled, the lucky ones reported for work, 'flic hallways were filled with grinning Juniors, who took fiendish delight in misdirecting all the Plebes who asked where such and such a room was. As the afternoon wore on. more of the different sections became acquainted and this made it lots easier to go around without getting lost. At four on the eventful day. the entire class gathered in the Assembly Hall and were addressed by the Director, who bade us welcome, and after introducing the members of the Faculty, retired leaving Mr. Sampson, the ex-president of the Junior Class in charge. This gentleman began at once showing us the ropes of Tech, and then stated that if we wanted to be in it at all. we should elect temporary $2 officers to preside until we knew each other well enough to elect the best man we had in the class. The moment nominations were called for. the eloquent element of the class showed itself by a long discourse on Parliamentary law, and its relation to the civilized world. After several miles of red tape had been pulled off the reel (enough in fact to do up all the meetings held since in a proper and fitting way) Mr. Ashe was nominated in a burst of eloquence, and later elected. Next morning when the sun had reached the proper Trigonometric position in the heavens designated by the name of nine o'clock, a solemn procession wended its way over the bridge, and boldly approached our beloved edifice of learning. The enemy sighted by the door offered absolutely no resistance to the sturdy oncoming throng, and literally melted away before it. Victory number one. I ield day came next and presented the first opportunity that had been accorded us to meet the upper classmen on common ground. War was declared in earnest when it was discovered that the enemy were trying to get our president away in an automobile. It seems that he had been enticed to some deserted portion of the grounds by a few of the enemy’s smooth tongued confidence men, and then seized; his coat turned inside out and hi hands tied behind his back. Escorted up the center of the roadway by his captors, he was compelled to deliver a speech to the assemblage of Maggie Murplis who graced the scene with their presence. As his eloquence waxed strong and tender. the effect on his fair audience became more and more noticeable. For a time they stood in silent admiration of our captive chief, then burst into a hearty round of applause. A detachment of our illustrious class-mates discovering the state of affairs, made a rush in the direction of the automobile, and in a moment the shrieks of the Maggies could be heard for blocks’. The attacking party charged full upon the adversary: the impact was tremendous: as the two solid walls came together, those in the front were forced to a noticeable height in the air. and then to topple over in the street hence the commotion on the side lines. Gory arms and legs were in a tangle in the heap of struggling humanity that filled the street at that point from curb to curb. Over and over the mass rolled. By this time all of the Maggies had fled. More rough house and lie was freed bv the efforts of the rescuing party. Scotty Henderson got up next and announced that the Juniors wanted to have a fight about a silly looking piece of a rag that they had managed to hang over the wires between two telegraph 3 poles. Xobodv wanted the fool thing anyhow, but to show them we were game, no time was lost in mauling them all over the place. Those left front the first encounter, gathered in a compact bunch and forming a flying edge, proceeded to show those Juniors what was what. For half an hour this battle raged, the wounded being carried away by the score as fast as the meager ambulance service would allow. The girls were gradually beginning to return to become spectators of the next events including a tug of war and an ox roast. Gradually the sound of battle died away, and an account was made of the wounded and otherwise injured. Meanwhile Sharp had been fixing the ox. Peace having been declared, the entire assemblage gathered in the vicinity of the steaming carcass, when a greased pig was let loose. Kxeunt the Maggies. As another victory for the already illustrious class, the pig was caught by a Plebe. (after Sparrow Bcckcn had nailed him). With sufficient oratorical pyrotechnics to put a Paine’s Fourth of July display to shame, the second meeting took place. Fleeting the officers took place at once with the following result: President. Martin; Vice President. Mead; Secretary. Keck; Treasurer, Wagner; Historian. Nieols. (your most humble servant engaged in doing his duty). The section men being selected very shortly after, beheld the magnificent spectacle of the first really truly, sure enough, honest Injun Plebe Class in the history of the school moving along smoothly with all the dignity consistent with such a responsibility. As the present Seniors were the first to hold that position, we hope they will not be selfish enough to claim to be the first everything in the whole school. “Let’s have a banquet!” “All right. You lend me a nickel, and we'll cat a piece of pie out in the Commons. “No, no. I mean a real banquet, of the whole class.’’ That was the way it started. Martin called a meeting of the class officers and the section men. and plans were made then and there. It did not take long to dispatch someone to the various places where it would be possible to hold it. to get estimates on the cost and what sort of service they would give us. One member of the Faculty who has endeared himself to the class in many other ways, was of the greatest help, and was freely consulted. To keep the thing from our friends the Juniors, it was decided to announce the time and place the afternoon before, and have the entire class meet a short distance away, and go to the hotel in a body. � 4 The last period of the day before found Section F having English. A knock came at tlie door, and Martin was called out in the hall and told that lie was wanted at the telephone downstairs. When fifteen minutes had passed without seeing him return, suspicion began to he aroused, and the section started out to look for him. Hat and coat still in his locker, and many whispered consultations being held by the Juniors who seemed to be everywhere, and the suspicion was converted into a certainty; he had been “nabbed . Tate was busily engaged with something in the Chemical Lab. when the door flew open, ami about fifty of the class rushed in. Tate’s surprise turned to alarm, when someone mounted a table and in explosive explativcs made choice remarks about those Juniors. A fight near the door drew attention from the speaker's words, and upon investigating it was discovered that Barrett was trying to put Horton out. accusing him of being a Junior spy. The two were introduced, and after apologies the meeting continued. As many as possible were to be informed of what had happened, so that an organized attempt could be made for his recovery. Baldv” Mead, in the mean time, had made his appearance on the scene and taken charge. Then began that marvelous series of rumors and counter rumors, that kept everyone chasing shadows all the rest of the night. Completely surrounded amid the hot water pipes of the pipe tunnel and pretty well tired out, was the cause of all the trouble. It was not long until the plans of the Juniors made it necessary to take him from the vicinity of the school, to the place where he was to be kept until the banquet was over. Coining from the rear of the Hall, a scuffle for his possession commenced with but a half dozen or so of I’lebes to take part. As the number grew (nothing can draw a crowd as quickly as a fight of some kind) the struggle grew more confused with the result that the whole crowd went over the hill. Reaching the railroad tracks, the party split up in the fog into several groups, each headed a different direction. From the most reliable reports of what happened afterward, it seems that Martin was taken up the tracks and up over the bank on to Forbes Street, at the bridge. At that point he was taken from the hands of the Juniors by several Plebes, who managed to get him into a wagon and start down the street. This was held up. the horse partly unhitched, and for the next fifteen minutes one side would have the advantage and then the other. After being taken into the building on the corner, and then out again, the greater number of Juniors got him on an outbound street car, and escaped. 85 As soon as darkness had arrived, and the news of the capture had spread around to all of the class living near, the searching party grew in number. The plan of attack now became quite systematic. The vicinity of the Cathedral was patrolled until a late hour on eight streets, and all the cars passing looked into, in hope of obtaining some clew as to his whereabouts. Squads of police were arriving from the Oakland station, and every suspicious looking person in the neighborhood quizzed about the business that brought him out on the street. Midnight neared, and no news. As hopeless despair was about to come and put a wet blanket on the ardour of the rescuers the first inkling of the truth arrived, and the party started on the Mar-tonian expedition. Mead sent in word that the missing gentleman was treed at Urling’s. and that it might be possible for an attacking party to capture the place. About forty piled on the next car and went out. The house surrounded, lights were noticed in the next dwelling. Figures strangely clad could be seen passing the windows. In the other, a light that would go on for a time and then be extinguished again, caused much comment and roused considerable suspicion. One lone policeman came up the street, and after being assured of the purpose of the gathering, volunteered the information that someone had left the house in a very hurried manner about an hour before. To substantiate his accuracy the party were led around back to the automobile house, and with matches held to the windows could see that the machine was not there. Returning to the front again, the discussion of what was to be done became rather lend, and more lights were noticed in the adjoining house. A trolley car stopped, and about a dozen cops got off and made a rush at the surprised, and now thoroughly discouraged searchers. It seems that the occupants of that next house not knowing what was up. telephoned to the station house that the neighborhood was in danger of complete annihilation by a band of desperadoes. who were only hesitating to know where to begin. And the worst of it was that the vigilance committee insistcd that we were disturbing the peace and doing all sorts of things, and that if we didn't all go home mighty quick, they’d pinch the whole bunch. The most unreasonable and persistent cusses about everything, too. The good explanations offered would have won debates galore. Misfortune now seemed the rule; the whole evening gone and the only clew proven to be a blind trail. Yes and the authoritative gentlemen still as vigorous in their efforts to protect the city from the chaos of mob rule as at first. 86 At this time of the morning trolley cars arc apparently slower, more deliberate, and more ttn-frequent than at any other hour of the day. Some started away on foot, intending to return after having given the police time enough to lind their former state of equilibrium. Others waited for a car. Still the blue coats tarried, in fact I never saw anyone like to keep at one thing with such intentness of purpose as they did (Oh yes, J was there. Hadn't you guessed it?) An hour hence found all hope given up for the night, and Plebcs and Police on their way back to Oakland. Thus endeth the Siege of Urling's. It was a sleepy-eyed and very much disheveled class that gathered in the Lecture Hall to see pictures and listen to descriptions of the glorious and famous masterpieces of Architecture. Professor Hornbostel failed to materialize and Professor McGoodwin. on being informed of the state of affairs kindly retired to permit a meeting to take place. Baldy” Mead, the Devine, occupied the chair in the intervals when not engaged in standing on the lecture table to emphasize the fine point of an argument. For once the class parliamentarians did not volunteer their services, knowing what was likely to happen to them if they dared put brakes on the wheels of progress by their incessant gabble. Those possessing the most powerful voices were the only ones left in it at all. for as the recognized speaker bellowed out his opinion on the subject then up for discussion, the faint twitter of those not possessing the volume of a megaphone could he faintly discerned. The substance of it all being that a committee would he appointed to continue the search, that the banquet would be held, that the time and place of meeting would he announced late in the afternoon, and that attendance at classes would be uninterrupted. Reports arrived from the searching parties every little while, and were eagerly passed about in whispers. Toward noon the remaining class officers and banquet speakers were assigned guards and as many as possible hurried away surrounded by their protectors. When darkness had come down with all his co-workers to blot out and conceal the ordinary doings of man. and only the arc lights tended to break the spreading gloom, a most marvelous change in the western sky was taking place. It began in one part, but spread with quick jumps to others. Great flashes and dazzling, scintillating seething masses oi vivid yellow light came from the downtown district. Even as one watched it could he seen to he drawing nearer, until at last 8 the general glow resolved itself into separate spots. Every newspaper carried by the men on the cars coining from the city was blazing with yellow. The bundles carried under the arms of the news boys were torches of the same color. Oh how they howled! But let's consider the source and let it go at that. For all our president was gone, the program was gone through with on schedule time. The weather man had done his worst. On the march to the Schcnley from the hill enough clay was stirred up to make bricks for a church. The banquet—we had best leave as the pleasant recollection that it is. rather than mar it by the telling. A success in every sense of the word, and a highly enjoyable affair. The next stop was Christmas vacation, and that only to let off a lot of work. The election for the second term found the same men in office with the exception of Bright, who fills the vice presidency. Those of a dramatic turn of mind met and formed The Comedy Club”, which has since been adopted by the “White Friars , the idea being that one large club of this description can do better work than several small ones. Save for an occasional period of excitement, due to one cause or another, quiet has reigned. The basket ball team proved to be quite a success, playing a number of games, and creating no small amount of interest among the members of the class. Let us hope for the best, and never send the white flag to the engulfing host of despair. Hard as it is to keep on the right track all the time, it is only the fellow who tries again that ever succeeds. As the wise old man used to say. “Any fool can go to bed—it takes a MAN to get up .

Johnson History of 19 11 Night ERKXK in her confidence of duties well done, her .affairs well managed and her good name untarnished, the Class of 191 i points with pride to her record for the school year of 1907-8. Her policy has been such that the raising of her social standing was second only to close application in the class-room. Despite the handicap of carrying along fully one-third of the membership in an unresponsive and even adverse attitude toward the social development of the class. 1911 has set a high standard in the history of night-schools and is proud not only of her record but also of the officers and committees responsible therefor. 1911 began early to make history, for. the very first night a large delegation went over to Woodlawn Avenue where they greeted the Day students (whose discomfiture was very evident) with the musical strains of: Churee. Charaw. Haw! Ha! Ha! Boom-a-rang, Bang-a-tang! Sis! Boom! Bah !!! Eat ’em up! Beat 'em up! Chase 'em up a tree!!! Nineteen eleven of Car-neg-ie!!! Shortly after this little episode, the first class-meeting was held and officers elected for the school year of 1907-8. A. F. Stamm ( Stammy ) was elected President: G. C. Hess ( the Boy. Hess .) Vice President: C. B. Kline ( Cow Bell Kline”), Secretary: K. C. Wilharm ( Prof Fritz”), Treasurer: Just Plain Pringle. Marshal: Eddie” Ela. Historian, and Professor Doyle. Advisor. The attention of the class was then directed toward the kindergarten , the members of which. after much difficulty, figured out that they would graduate in 1912 if ---. In a scries of five fights, all of which were strenuous and each of which introduced novel features. 1911 came out a shade the better of the argument. In the second round, the nursery charges” tried to run off with Stammv”, but the Helm of the attacking party was thrown out of the window. Helm is the Kid President. Round four was uneventful but the final spasm was grand. 1911 was in regular session when the kindergarten” tried to break up the meeting. At this juncture the 1911 men turned 9i on a stream of hydrogen-sulphide which they had in a seltzer-bottle in anticipation of such a move on the part of the twice defeated youngsters. The door was locked and the marshal sat on a ladder with hydrogen-sulphide trained from the transom. After the meeting was over a charge was made with the H2S in the van. In justice to the class of 1912 the writer must say that they (1912) were not afraid of the men but the chemical in all its nauseatinglv odoriferous glory was too much for them—and they ran. However, they got revenge by defeating the 1911 team on Thanksgiving morning by the score of 2 to o. In this game McCulIv starred for 1911 and Weber, for 1912. The score was made on the kick-ofT at the opening of the second half, which shows the relative strength of the teams. After this game a truce was patched up between the two classes and all bitterness vanished like dew before the morning sun. The “Pie Squad was then organized with a membership drawn from both 1911 and 1912. It is due to the activity of this organization that the dawn of peace hovers over the united classes. On December 20 (“Young Hammy’s” birthday) 1911 gave a smoker at which three hundred men found an evening’s pleasure. It was, and 11c doubt will remain for some time, the premier smoker in school history. The annual banquet was held at the Nixon Cafe on February 20 and it. too. was a marvelous success. The souvenirs were original and tasty; the dinner, delicious: and the oratory, incomparable. One original feature of the banquet was the introduction of S. II. Crane who was hanged in effigy for some flagrantly offensive remarks which lie directed against Tech. All in all. the year was one of great activity in all lines and 1911 need not blush for anything she did unless it is the publicity which she has gained for Tech, by the exuberant spirits of some of her most loyal sons. lyi I—XIC1IT.

These men were determined to make great sacrifices in order to secure this education which was made possible by the benevolence of the great 1nfcT philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, and the liberality of the city of Pittsburgh. The zeal J with which this class has endeavored to maintain the high standard of the School is worthy of high commendation, and the marks which they have secured show that their labors have been crowned with success. While their paramount purpose is, and was from the beginning, to secure a thorough knowledge of the various branches of engineering through means provided by the Schools, they realized that there were certain other requisites necessary for their well-being. These they endeavored to obtain through class organization. A meeting was called by Messrs. Hoffman and McCowcn for Wednesday evening October 13. 1907. X'othing definite towards the class organization was decided upon as the new class was kept busy ousting intruders who seemed to be laboring under the delusion that we needed help and guidance. A downtown newspaper heard of the affair and appeared to be shocked by our conduct. His Royal Majesty, the Editor of said newspaper, was probably pipe-dreaming at the time he wrote the article referred to above, as he did not follow the facts of the case very closely. In fact. we. with all due reverence for his exalted position, believe that he merely wanted to fill up space . On the following Wednesday evening a second class meeting was held. At this meeting, Mr. K. 11. Helm was elected temporary chairman and a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. By the middle of December the constitution had been adopted, the election of the class officers had taken place, and the various standing committees had been appointed. Thus was the class organization perfected. With all this on hand the class did not neglect their studies and what is just as important, their athletics. The Amalgamated Association of Self-Named “Live Ones were still laboring under the delusion that they were IT . Someone deceived them into thinking that they could play foot-ball 95 and the A. A. of S. NT. I- O. challenged 1912 a game for Thanksgiving morning Mu- game, and we hope some of our brethren’s vanity, came off.

To write a complete history which would do this class justice would be an endless task and would occupy more space than we dare expect in this book, so we will close, feeling confident that p 2 will continue to lead in every phase of school life which she enters. 96 Cl.ASS op 1912 (night) Sciiooi. of Applied Science Kjl'j (XlGlIT) FOOTBAI.I, Tka.M Ellen Ifougbes Soutbarb October 24, 1886 February 2, 1908 Allen Hughe Southard was horn at F.mlington, Pa.. October -'t. 1886. His early education was obtained in the Public Schools at Clarion. Pa., and Jordan. N. Y. In November, 1905 he entered the School of Applied Science of the Carnegie Technical Schools and became a member of the Night Class of ion. On February 190S lie was called to the land beyond—after a siege of four weeks with typhoid fever. Mr. Southard was highly esteemed by all who knew him and his wide circle of friends, though saddened by their loss, are very grateful for his life. James fllbatbevv 1Relle Born June 5, 1882, at Nashua, New Hampshire Died December 8, 1907, at the Mercy Hospital, Pittsburg, Pa. His early school-days were spent in the Public Schools of Nashua Mr. Kelley was an honored member of the 1911 Night Class,and we feel deeply our loss incurred by his departure. 99 1911 Toot Ball Team E w HR class of 1911 was represented on the gridiron last fall l� v a football team which was not only a credit to the class but also to the school. When one considers the fact that the only practice they had was after 10:30 1 . M.. the kind of ball they put up was little short of marvelous. While they did not completely master the forward pass in all its phases yet they used it successfully. In the game with the younger class. 191 _ they fairly be- _________wildered the opposition with a series of trick plays, joke kicks, delayed passes, triple passes and onside kicks, all being used with good effect. It is unfortunate that 1911 should have been beaten by the score of 2 to o after the very aggressive game they played. It is the fortune of football. and the blue and white of 1911 bowed gracefully to the blue and gold of 1912 and yielded them the title of nocturnal football championship of 1907-8. In the 1911 line-up were the veterans Miller and Hess of last year's team. In the places of the men who were out of school there were several stars and other acceptable material. The star of the 1906-7 team. Red” Edwards, was missing but Captain McCully ably filled his position. Mac's” sixty-five yard run was the feature of the game on Thanksgiving morning. The complete lineup for 1911 was as follows: McCall SURXENDA Glasssk Kline Gump It now n Abel Davis Yenny McCully (Cap’t) Hess Kight End Kight Tackle Right Guard Center Left Guard Left Tackle lx ft End Quarter-hack Right Half-hack Left Half-hack Lull Hack Substitutions—Brown for Gump; Miller for Brown; Yenny for Miller; Pringle for Yenny. 100 SIGMA TAU Louis Lazei.l Beeken, 1909.

Society History ITU the opening of the school in the fall term of 1906, the students of the Junior Class found themselves divided into departments relative to their chosen profession. It was then that the members of the Civil Department, thrown upon their own resources, thought it wise and expedient, in order to promote their welfare as students and as a department, to f°rm themselves into some kind of an organization. A meeting was therefore called and J the following men elected to office for the first half of the year: J. 15. Coursin, President; I. M. Provost, Vice President; S. Vincent, Secretary, and X. C. Applegate, Treasurer A committee was appointed to frame a constitution the preamble of which reads as follows: 'Phis society is formed for mutual benefit and to promote good fellowship among the students of the C. T. S. day class of Civil Engineering Students. On account of the small number, there being only eleven students and three instructors, the regular monthly meetings were held at the homes of the different members. In order to give as many members as possible a chance to hold office, it was decided that the length of term be one half year; accordingly in February, 1907. an election was held, with the following results; T. W. Tinglcy, President; J. M. Provost, Vice President; G. II. Westbrook. Secretary; S. Seisel. Treasurer. Thus we have the beginning of what has proven to be one of the most active and beneficial organizations of its kind in the Carnegie Technical Schools, 'flic opening of the fall term 1907 confronted the society with the problem of increasing its membership to about forty by the addition of the new Juniors. The solution however of this problem proved a comparatively easy one. The success of one year’s work was very evident, and when an invitation was extended to the Juniors to become members of the society, the reply was unanimous. The officers chosen to assume the responsibility of the new year’s work were G. II. Westbrook, President; G. W. Ketter, Vice President; L. E. Exline, Secretary; G. Ilalferty. Treasurer. Socially little was accomplished in the work of the fall term of the society, the greater part of the time having been spent in development of the student by allowing him the opportunity of addressing his fellow members along scientific lines, a branch of the technical students’ education which must not be neglected. 112 Civil, lixc.iNKKKI.N'G Society However with the midwinter elections by which the following men now hold office: J. M. Provost, President; Benjamin Watrous, Vice President; C. W. Beck, Secretary; T. W. Tinglcy, Treasurer. and the opening of the spring term social affairs have been intermingled with the scientific work. Thus as the second year's history of the society is rapidly drawing to a close, the members may glance back over the year’s work and feel justly proud. Its large number of members together with its forceablc manner of doing things have made the society an invaluable addition to the Day School of Applied Science. Much has been accomplished in developing the feeling of friendship and confidence between student and instructor. With the close of the school year in June the present Civil Seniors will retire from the society as active members. feeling confident, however, that the work which they have organized and developed will meet with even greater success in the ensuing years, than it has in the past.

JAMIESON Junior Promenade 11 El N' keeping with a well established custom in all large colleges, the Junior Class of the Day-School of Applied Science gave a Junior Prom in honor of the Senior class of this school to which were united the upper classmen of the Day School of Applied Design. The affair was held on the night of February 28 at the Hotel Schenley and was strictly formal. More than a hundred couples were present, including the members of the Faculty and their wives, many of whom were patronesses «o the affair. into booths and occupied by the School fraternities and societies. The orchestra was banked in with palms, all adding to the brilliancy of the occasion which marks the foremost of the social functions of the Junior year at college. The reception was held at 8:30 P. M. Those on the receiving line were Class President Swearingen. Mrs. Director 1 lamerschlag, etc. The grand march began at 9 o'clock led by Chairman Close of the Prom Committee, followed by Junior Class President Swearingen and Senior Class President Henderson. The program was then rendered until midnight when a delightful luncheon was served. After this the program was continued until 2:30 o’clock. It was considered by all who were present as a brilliant success marking an epoch in the social activities of the Schools, and the Class of 1909 may well be proud of the distinction of giving the first formal affair of this nature. 'Phe committee in charge consisted of Walter Iv. Close, chairman; Lynn F.xline, Frank B. Jamieson. James B. Sprague and Max L. Williams. The patronesses were: Mbs. A. A. Hamrhschlac Mrs. John H. Sen: Mrs. John A. Bkasiiear Mrs. C. B. Connelly Mrs. G H. Follows Mrs. William McConway Mrs. Wellibald Thinks Mrs. Henry K. McGooowin Mrs. Samuel H. CiiURCn Mrs. Ailen H. Willett Mrs. Walter F.

It contained more of the noted men of the world (to be) than had ever been seen together in this city; the class of 1910 - , were to hold their first annual banquet. jrJnJ As has been stated in other places, the odious Juniors succeeded in capturing our President. Martin, and in his absence. A. I). Mead. Vice President, acted as toast master. It was about 8:30 when we sat down to the repast arranged by a committee consisting of Bright. Martin. Roura, and Xicols. One of the most noticeable features was the manner in which Mr. William L. Lcbzclter enjoyed the simple food set before him. You sec. Mr. Lcbzclter. a Junior, had been assisting the attaches of the coat room in the lobby and had been invited to enter the hall of feast. AH the entertainment of the evening was furnished by a few of the talented members of the class. Mr. H. T. Ashe was the first man called upon and spoke of the value of school spirit to the Alma Mater we had just entered and the necessity of working together in all things. Mr. (’. K. Bor-schncck was next, and made a very humorous speech on Kggs . Alan Bright followed with a very good talk on Athletics . Bright is very well qualified to speak upon this subject, being our representative in school athletics. Bright was followed by Xicols who gave his well known impersonation of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, lie began to break it gently and worked it up to a grand old climax. It was exceedingly clever and well done, and all things considered it rivalled Mansfield’s A. Hume spoke upon comradeship and the value it would be to 11s in our years together at Tech. Takio Hiroki followed Hume and discussed the relationship between his country and ours. He expressed the opinion that there would never be war between the two countries. One of the best evidences of the feeling existing between the two is shown by the manner in which he had been treated since his arrival here. L. Y. Mclntire also made a speech upon engineering and some very acceptable music was rendered by a quartette. After much pressing Mr. Lcbzclter, the Junior, acknowledged in a few well chosen words his thanks for the meal and admitted that he deeply regretted the misfortune of being in the Junior class, and expressed a hope of flunking out in order to gain admittance to what he styled the “best class ever”. D. D. Mitchell. 12c 19 11 Banquet HE second annual banquet of the Class of 1911 was held on the evening of the twentieth of February, 1908, at the Nixon Cafe. The affair was conducted along temperance lines in order that there could be no possible objection on the part of those who object to liquor. , 1 The pretty dining room was decorated with class and school pennants while the class colors, blue and white, were found in every available nook ami corner. The souvenirs, one of the original features, were a distinct novelty and largely responsible for the success of the banquet. They consisted of a leather card-case and bill-book in which the menu card was folded and tied with the class colors. On the inside of the souvenir was stamped in gold the name of the school and class together with the date and the class motto, Semper Fidelis . The dinner itself was of ten courses and above reproach as to quality and service. The guests of honor were Secretary Field. Mrs. ( B. Connclley, Professor W. B. Doyle and Dr. Holbrook. Mr. Y. I). Workman acted as toastmaster and the following gentlemen responded to various toasts:—Henry Harley. I). ('.. Morgan. J. A. I.onergan, C. B. Kline, and Harry McCullcy; each of the guests gave an address as did A. F. Stamm, the president of 1911 for the year 1907-8. The addresses of the guests were all rhetorical gems and filled with a judicious mixture of wit and humor and good advice. President Stamm's address was the other feature of the evening; not so much from the oratorical or rhetorical standpoint but for the particular aptness of the subject and the scathing, sarcastic and vitriolic terms with which he treated it. Mr. Stamm spoke on the recent attack on Tech” by Mr. Crane, of Chicago, who was at the conclusion of the president's speech hanged in effigy to the accompaniment of the hoots and yells of the thoroughly aroused students. 121 The 19 11 Smoker ME greatest social event of the year” may be interpreted as another description of the Second Annual Smoker given by the Night Class of 1911 to the entire school on December 20. 1907. The complete success of the affair was due to the interest and spirit manifested l v the Faculty and the students. The powers that be needed no coaxing to aid the committee in the necessary arrangements, helping so far as to excuse all classes an hour early. A rush followed the opening of the doors and in a very short time the fragrant incense of imported tobacco was rising from hundreds of pipes. Pandemonium reigned, but laughter was the prominent note in the discord. Laughter changed to applause and swelled until the roof and walls cried aloud as I)r. ilamerschlag mounted the platform and in the ensuing silence began to speak. P.y a short, but pithy, address he roused the wildest enthusiasm, and left his audience in an excellent humor for the succeeding speakers. President Stamm briefly welcomed the students in behalf of 1911. Captain Henderson followed in a happy manner on the subject of athletics, giving a review of the conditions past and present, and prophesying overwhelming success for the future. Music was rendered at intervals during the evening by Messrs. Schaedlc, Scheidhneir, and 1 .aithe, solos by each receiving well deserved encores. The wrestling match between Mr. liurton of the Prep. Class and Mr. McCully of 1911 was hotly contested but won by 191 i's man. The only cause of regret during the entire evening was the fact that the time was so limited that Mr. Foster was unable to give a more complete recital of his experiences as a traveler during last summer. The brief travelogue was, however, received with intense interest, and few will not heed the advice of Mr. Foster not to repeat his experiences. President Smith of 1910 spoke aptly and well on Inter-Class Relations”, and urged the boys to better acquaintances. A debate on the question. Resolved: That bachelors should be taxed to support old maids”, between Messrs. Workman and Kline of 1911 and Messrs. Considinc and Taylor of 1910. was argued so well by the latter team that they not only won the debate but frightened Mr. Taylor into matrimony the next week. The 1912 Smolder H F. initial smoker of the Class of 1912 was held on Friday evening, February 14, '08. and was one of the best of its kind yet held by the night men. The social committee hustled like beavers working up the affair and arc to be congratulated upon the success which they achieved. The Faculty very generously gave the boys an hour of the regular recitation periods and also sent a representative, Mr. Field, who made a few remarks immediately putting the audience into a good humor, and from 9:30 I’. M. for upwards of two hours and a half everybody had a good time. Rees Griffith had the smoker personally in charge and immediately following the Secretary's remarks, announced a selection by the Mandolin Club—a selection, followed by several others later in the evening, which was rendered as only the Carnegie Tech Mandolin Club can render them and which was received as only enthusiastic Tech men can receive a good thing. The sporting blood of the crowd was aroused by the appearance of Mr. Swinbank, one of our own ’ 12 men, and of Mr. Fuhs, of the class in plumbing, who engaged in a four round boxing bout. The sports soon announced their presence in the audience with such exclamations as Two to one on the little guy , Don’t swallow him Fuhsie”, and Crawl between his legs when he jabs at you, Swinboonk”, etc. What Mr. Swinbank lost in weight he made up for in agility and much amusement was caused by the fancy wind jabs executed by Mr. Fuhs. No official decision was given and each man was presented with the same prize—a Tech pennant. A novel feature of the evening was the pic-eating contest. Seven contestants. Messrs. Cole. Dan Griffith. IIolTman. Roberts. Wcrry and McCrcery, all of 1912. and Mr. Glaser, of 1911, permitted their hands to be tied behind them and had a huge blackberry pic set before them. They were such a starved and hungry looking bunch of fellows that it seemed almost like fiendish cruelty to compel them to wait, but wait they had to and wait they did until each person in the audience had bidden the pics a sad farewell. After the last tear had been dried—for the parting with those pics certainly gave pain—the word “Alright” was pronounced and—well if you didn't sec those fellows dig into the blackberry pics you have missed “half of your life”. Mr. Wcrry finished first in less than two minutes and would have been declared champion had lie not tried “cribbing”. Onto the floor after the pie lie had dropped he went and he got it too, but just as he was swallowing his last bite, Mr. Glaser was sending his last on the downward road at about sixty miles per hour and with a shout of triumph each man jumped tip. Time, two minutes and eighteen seconds. The prize was a Tech pennant and as they tied each man was given one. The other pic-eaters—well, they had the pie anyway. Mr. I.cetc took this occasion to announce the name of “Billy” Knox, of Yale, as our new football coach and 1912 prides herself that the first oflicial announcement of this fact was made at a smoker of theirs. Following Mr. I.eetc's announcement Farrell’s Minstrels appeared on the stage. 'Phe personnel of these minstrels follows: Interlocutor, Mr. Regis Skechan; End Men, Mr. Farrell and Mr. I.onergan; Minstrels, Padcn Hclmig. Hineman and Hoffman. The minstrels rolled in with a laugh, kept it going while on the stage and left it with the audience when they retired. The End Men sang several solos which were the cream” and the minstrels furnished much fun with their jokes—some old. some new, but all good—some on the interlocutor, some on the End Men—but they were paid back with interest. “Tech school: twelve gang! “C—A—R—X—E—G—I—E IIcezer, Iliizer. whoa. whoa, bang!

It is indeed an honor ami a privilege to set the custom; in fact, to mold the future of the following classes. But with this honor there is also a responsibility. Our actions will be taken as a precedent and if we hand down customs which arc injurious, or at least not beneficial to the classes which follow us. then we are the cause of a great loss to hundreds of young men who. in the future, will take up the studies of this school. Naturally, a class with such a responsibility must have a history and it is to record a few of our most important and interesting events, that these pages are written. The Industrial school year opened on Monday, October 14th. There were one hundred and twenty-six students present to hear the opening addresses of Dr. Hamerschlag and Mr. Connellcy. On the same day we organized as a Class and elected: Y. S. Davis. President; O. Y. Robinson, Secretary and Treasurer. The remainder of the week was spent in endeavoring to look pleasant. It did not take long, however, to get acquainted: a few trips to the commons binding us together as with cords. We were companions in misery. A short time later the Class Foot-ball team was organized. Under the captaincy of “Bobby Mullen, the fellows worked hard to prepare for the stilT schedule arranged by Manager Carter. On November 5th, they played the speedy Allegheny High School team to a standstill; the final score being 5—5- D11 the 9th of the same month, the Day Industrials met the Night Apprentices and Journeymen. Our men conquered; the score being 5—o. Hard games followed with such teams as the Tech Juniors (A. S.) and Pittsburgh Academy. It is impossible to follow all the movements of our pigskin artists and is sufficient when we say that they upheld the honor of the class throughout the season. It must be noted, however, that on the Varsity Klcvcn the Industrials furnished five star players in Robinson. Hittncr. Brown, Frantpton and McTighc. This is a most material proof that the Industrials are a prominent factor in athletics. 12S Original Day Industrial Class On November 14th. an all important date in Industrial Class History, the Draftsmen illustrated the manner in which our Pilgrim Fathers punished recalcitrants hv means of the ducking stool. Needless to say. the crystalline waters of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers were a great aid to the meditations of the victims upon the error of their ways. The ducking stool has, since then, grown in popularity to such an extent that during dry spells a waste paper basket is used. This was the feature of the Frampton-Kinstein affair. On Saturday. November 9th, a large party of Industrials accompanied the Varsity foot-ball team to Washington. Pa., where the fast Washington and Jefferson KIcvcn was encountered. Kven though our Tech team was worsted in the argument, the plucky light they put up served to enthuse their supporters and an enjoyable day was spent. They say the fairer sex turned out in grand array, there being almost two ladies present at the game; undoubtedly the fellows were much pleased by the encouragement received from this vast crowd of fair rooters. Thanksgiving Day, the next important day in our history, was spent by most of our fellows in getting out of condition for the following day's work. That they were successful was evinced by the sad, far-away look that nearly all bore the next morning. The month of December was spent in preparing for and in taking examinations. We endured the strain, however, and were finally rewarded by the Christmas vacation which separated us for two full weeks from our much beloved work. After this rest we gathered back to the school ready for the second half of the year. The schedules were entirely new. The two preparatory sections had been formed and we had to accustom ourselves to new classes and classmates, 'flic first thing of importance was to organize for the Spring term. Our officers elected were II. T. Voting. President; 15. C. McTighe. Vice President, and ( . P. Rogers. Secretary and Treasurer. The basket-ball team was the next thing to require our attention. O. W. Robinson was elected captain and J. C. French, Manager. A great deal of interest was displayed in the team and the fellows enjoyed some rare sport. The most notable feature of the season was the defeat of the Plebes. About this time, the Plebes became peevish, irritable, and easily annoyed. What they termed horse-play on the part of the Industrials, vexed them dreadfully. But they got over it and showed their delight in horsc-plav by having a parade a short time later. They marched through the corridors to the melodious strains of a bass drum. Then they started for the girls’ schools, but the doors 130 Day Industrials of the neighboring institution were locked long before the rabble arrived. Our fellows, several days later illustrated the fact that a parade can be had—minus the noise. Through the illness of Mr. Dosey, the drafting section were freed from their labors in the foundry. They formed a lock step and marched silently through the buildings and across the park. The Botany school and M. M. C. S. were the chief points of interest visited. At the girls’ school courtesies were exchanged by means of cameras. On the evening of January 30th, the Industrials made their social debut. The entertainment took the form of a banquet at the Nixon Cafe. A large number were present bent on having a good time and they had it. After dinner a number of pleasant speeches and toasts were made by members of the Faculty and student body. ( For some time the English classes had been carrying on exciting debates upon timely topics. The fluency with which some of our fellows argued, denoted the presence of future orators in our crowd. This interest manifested in debates led to the organization of the Technique Literary Society. This movement is still young but, undoubtedly, it will take root and flourish. The coming of spring was heralded with delight by the track men of the schools and the Park has been fairly infested with athletic young men who go jogging through hollows and over hills in a manner calculated to strike terror into the hearts of Tech's opponents in track stunts. The Industrials are well represented in this, as in all branches of sport, and show willingness and ability to learn. One accident occurred during the year that we all regret exceedingly. YV. L. Ainslcy, of the draftsman’s section, while working in the pattern shop, had his fingers nipped on the joiner. Mr. Ainslcy is very popular among the students and he certainly has our most heartfelt sympathy. On March 12th. Dr. Hamcrschlag arrived at the schools, returning from Europe. This was a signal for a gala day among the students. Did not the Doctor advise us to take the air? After an address by the Director, the fellows from all divisions of the schools united and hauled him, with Mrs. Hamcrschlag and son Nelson, in a carriage, through Oakland and Schcnlcy Park. Later in the day our fellows raised the class numerals on the steel flag pole—and they stayed there. Again that morning we had a small fracas with the Plebcs but were successful. St. Patrick's Day was celebrated by the wearing of a large amount of green (our class colors). A parade, a base-ball game, a fight, and a ducking bee constituted the program. 132 Some of our fellows have recently been trying to prove the theory offered by Darwin; that man is descended from the monkey. When Einstein was placed in one of the lockers we considered it a most startling proof. A few days later Mr. Mullen was seen suspending himself from one of the trees. In view of these facts we can only accept the theory. Hut now, the school year is approaching its close. A very short session remains before the long vacation. And although the work seems tiresome and the tasks difficult, we will all he glad in Sep-ember, to return to our tasks, to our instructors, and to Carnegie Tech. IIarvky B. Ottkrmax.—Prep. ’08. '3. . EXPERIMENT No. 1 Object. To prove that a Day Industrial Class will pan out. Apparatus and Materials Used. One school building, fourteen professors, forty students and three months' time. Operation. Students placed in class rooms and shops and given hard, heavy and frequent doses of Mathematics. Drawing. English, Mechanical and Building Practice, etc. Result. One man entered the School of Applied Science the following year. (Me had been there before.) About twenty men returned to the Industrial School the following term. The rest, lucky dogs, in their three months of “college life became as proficient in their respective trades, so manly in their bearing, so obviously educated” and possessed of so charming a personality. that in again matriculating in the Industrial Schools they would condescend through space—a thing impossible. Inference. From this it could easily be inferred that: inasmuch as in incipient, tentative work of this nature the “experimentee” is usually ruined; the lives of forty men for three months, are then, to us. but a step in the staircase leading to the heights we wish to attain. And in our haste we think not of the foot-mark left in passing. Conclusion. Success we say. But-is it? Wc have done that which we started to do: but at what a cost. Let us ponder on the question, and years hence, when the Industrials have become some hundred strong, and their wheels of progress grind from day to day. exceedingly sure, perhaps wc can, with little trouble, find an answer appropriate to the query. •34 X Thursday evening, January 27th. at the Nixon Cafe the Day Industrial Class of 1909 established a tradition for their school by being the first to hold a class banquet. And the tradition was established so firmly, and in such a thorough manner that the classes of the years to come will have hard work to rival it. It was a glorious success in every sense of the word. Perhaps it was quite as good as some of those gorgeous feasts of the Romans. Perhaps not. We ourselves arc too modest to decide. Hut if the ancient Romans enjoyed their feasts as much as we enjoyed ours they must have been a happy race. Everybody present at the Industrial banquet had a line time, which is more than can be said of the Romans who were in hourly expectation of shaking hands with the executioner. Everyone was pleased. Those who came to cat. ate to their heart’s content, while if there were others who had souls above eating they must also have been satisfied by the good speeches and the air of good fellowship that reigned everywhere. Nearly all of the Faculty were present, and each professor delivered a speech. This was, perhaps. the most enjoyable part of the affair. To cat a good dinner and then to lean back in your chair with a cigar between your lips to listen to some excellent and witty after dinner speeches is to reach the acme of happiness. You will never be more contented, no matter what happens. Mr. C. H. Conncllcy. the head of the schools for Apprentices and Journeymen, presided as toast-master and let it be said right here that a better toastmaster never graced the head of a banquet table. Mr. Conncllcy was all to the good! After making a few remarks he introduced President Young of the class of ’09 who responded to the toast “Our Class”. And the Industrials are to be congratulated upon the fact that they had a president to address them. The Plcbcs were not so lucky at their so-called banquet. Next in order was Mr. B. E. Birge. the “Advisor of the Class”. TTis subject was “English as She is Spoke” but he did not. bv any means, confine himself to this limited topic. lie told us a fish story, which, unlike most fish stories, had a moral. Mr. Birge held his audience well and we were all sorry i?5 to see him sit down which he did amidst thunderous applause. Mr. Calderwood came next with Short Circuits , lie did full justice to his topic and had every one roaring with laughter most of the time. His speech was very cleverly constructed and sparkled brilliantly. Mr. Morris spoke on “Simultaneous Equations”. Mr. Morris’ sense of humor is well known to his Mathematic Classes and it did not forsake him in “Simultaneous Equations”. Our only regret was that he did not speak longer. Mr. Pfouts responded to Some of Us (and Others) . His speech was of hilarious tone and kept everyone short of breath from laughing. Mr. Leighou gave us Chemical Changes”. Mr. I.eighou had a harrowing experience during his freshman year at college and gave us the details. The changes varied from scrambling like an egg and developing like a film to stump speeches. He was finally made to climb a tree and sing Nearer my God to Thee”, which he did. Once there, however. he acquired an affection for the position and refused to return to the yearning arms of his tormentors. They finally departed in disgust and then Providence demonstrated the way in which we arc always rewarded for our trials. Mr. Hamilton's effort was entitled Machinists”. Mr. Hamilton said he was not accustomed to the role of an after-dinner speaker, but, nevertheless, he performed finely. Mr. Leeds’ speech was an earnest one. It was entitled Athletics” and showed the duty we owe to our school in athletics. Mr. Connelley, who had been filling the intervals between speeches with humorous remarks, now called upon Mr. Day. our able instructor in Mechanism. Mr. Day had no speech prepared but lie told us a few witty stories which were well received. Last, hut not by any means, least, came Mr. Brown. lie was introduced as the “Modern Sherlock Holmes” and it was the opinion of the Class that he had earned his title when he told us just how he had foiled and baffled the attempts of the jealous PIcbes to carry off our Class president as a prisoner. The Faculty having thus nobly acquitted itself, it devolved on the students to add their share to the general amusement fund. Several prominent characters were called upon. Mr. Crisman. hailed as the catch-as-catch-can champion of Wall Street” was asked to explain how lie had come by his proud title. McTighe was asked to explain why he had such an overpowering liking for the registrar’s office and the society of Mr. Parsons. He accounted for the fact by stating that a presumably sane young lady had taken a fancy to his curly locks and that his attentions to this same young 136 lady had prevented him from giving all his time to his classes. Hayes was called upon to gjVe ,|1C reasons for the rosy blush of which he is the proud possessor. This he did by explaining that he could not explain why he was so endowed unless it was given him as a reward for his many virtues. Several other students were overwhelmed by demands for speeches, but overcoming their surprise they responded very creditably. Hines, French and Rogers all were called upon and all did well. Davis and Carter each spoke a few words. These two men with Flynn had all the hard work of the banquet preparations and deserve the thanks of the class for their eltorts. By this time it was getting late, so, after singing the Alma Mater and cheering the Faculty the gathering broke up. . . , , . It will long be remembered by those who attended; and w.ll serve as an object of emulation to our successors. j. A O’Callaghan. 137 ianr 3u ttairial (Elasa Athlctira 1908 If mi t iUall iiiutJi R. L.

Crisman William Davis Harry A. Haiin Night Journkymkn w 1N-, C lass was organized on November 3rd. 1907. at a meeting of the Journeymen students of the Machinery and Building Trades, and the following officers were elected: Henry Zell-man. I’resident; James A. Brcnncn, Vice President; William Miller, Secretary; Harry J. Kirch, Treasurer. It was not very long before we received with open arms the new class of Stationary Engineers. We will have to say for these boys that they arc all made of the proper stuff and we are extremely glad to call them fellow classmates. The class organization with its wonderful amount of enthusiasm, hacked up by our good friend, John M. Patterson, was not wanting in any way the spirit always shown. After the Stationary Engineers joined us we decided to form a “Craftsmen’s Club”, and the organization of this club has made, if such a thing were possible, more enthusiasm than ever before. Strange to say, many of the present officials of the class were elected officers of the Craftsmen’s Club. A Board of Directors was appointed, consisting of Zcllman, Miller. Caplan, and Haas, to draw up by-laws, and many of the students in the journeymen class became members of the Craftsmen's Club. This club met with the approval of all and has become something to be counted worthy— something of which our Alma Mater may be proud. The object of this club is purely social and educational. We have arranged for several trips to industrial plants, principal among which was the Carnegie Institute Power Plant. Through the courtesy of Mr. Cunningham, we spent one of the Mi most pleasant evenings in the history of our school. Aside from the instruction we received, it was certainly wonderful to know that such a plant is a part of our Institution and we had never become aware of it until after the organization of this club. We arc planning at present to go to the Allegheny Observatory, a trip made possible through the kindness of Dr. Brashcar, one of the members of the Technical School Committee of the Board of Trustees of Carnegie Institute. We are planning trips of this kind to last during the summer months and we have no doubt that they will be extremely interesting. Some of our fellows have organized a club within a club and the “Hammer and Shear Club makes its debut from the Sheet Metal Department. This is purely a social club and borders more on the lines of a fraternity. The officers are M. I.. Haas. President: J. D. Patou, Secretary; W. Lynch, Treasurer. Winding up the Founder’s Day week, on Saturday. April 13th. 1907. a banquet was held at the Hotel Annex in Pittsburgh. We regretted exceedingly that the members of the Hoard of Trustees who were invited, as well as our good Director, found it impossible, on account of the many festivities of the week, to attend. Notwithstanding, we had a very good time, with such toasts as were given bv . Katzcnmeyer on “Advantages of Technical Schools to a Mechanic”. J. P. Kelley on “Social Organization ; and H. W. Zellman (bless him) spoke on “The Ladies”. Our old Scotch friend, J. M. Murray, had something to say about the advantage the School had been to him; James J. Kane spoke on “Opportunity ; and last, but not least. M. L. Haas spoke on “The Carnegie Technical Schools ’. '1 lie evening was most enjoyable and the first banquet is one long to be remembered. 142 Hpprcntice FMstory E arc no longer the timid, nervous crowd that “in the winter of 1906 took courage and entered the sacred precincts of the Director’s office to apply for admission”. Instead, we have become a very important factor, and have learned to look the world in the face. If a thing is needed, we demand and usually get it. Pardon us for a wee measure of conceit. Our work needs energy and determination; success is generally accompanied by self-esteem. If we did not think well of ourselves, others would not think well of us. We have an abundance of “class spirit and it is the characteristic, not only of the Apprentice class as a whole, but of the individual classes in the various trades. Our class officers may foster its growth, but we arc certain that the atmosphere of “Tech” is responsible for its origin. This is a democracy of workers; or if you prefer, an aristocracy of industry. The whole school has the idea—from Mr. Connelley down to the least of us. Anything we can't do with our supply of self-esteem and class spirit ought not to be attempted by anybody. 'Flic House Painters and Grainers can really improve on Nature herself. With a slight twist of the skilful wrist, they turn hemlock into the finest oak, and it is in their power, too, to make wood that never existed! And so it goes. What men have done, we can do and it will be strange i! we do not do it better. Some of 11s at times know more than our instructors but you must not wonder at that. It is in us and cannot be kept down. So, just keep an eye on us in the future. Our history is clean thus far; it will be very bright before long. Are we too busy to be sociable? Well, hardly! 'Flic one aim of our class officers and the purpose for which they are elected is to arrange social functions and, how they fight for the honor! It is not difficult to select, and elect, faithful, trustworthy, upright, inspiring, and obedient officers,— we all have those 'qualities. Many banquets are arranged and die in being arranged, but we have enough to keep us friendly. Our social instincts do not need much cultivation as we are nothing if not social. Do you get the idea that the school suits us? If you do not. get it now. Arc we greatly responsible for its excellence? Well we would not like to say that. Rather, let it be known that it is dear to our hearts: that the Apprentices appreciate their opportunities for friendship, study, and work. i43 Night Apprentices Machinists E aren't always covered with grease and grime, but when you see a fellow who is. you can make up your mind that he is a man who works in the Machine Shop. But, clean or dirty, our hearts are Idled with red blood.—men who work with iron rarely need the physician's tincture. The qualities of iron arc ours—dark exterior, (it can be brightened), durability, and good temper, under certain conditions. High speed steel best represents some of our class, because it can go at a rapid pace and still hold its edge. It has its own way with baser metals. We do not mean that a domineering character is ours. Calmness, steadiness, and evenness of temper abound in the Machinery Department and are characteristic of ns all—machines, students and instructors. Inflexibility of purpose we arc learning to acquire. It is not to be avoided. The machines, our steady companions, are full of it. Man is a part of all that lie has met. W e run boring machines, milling machines, grinding machines and every other machine that the race of machinists knows. Yes. we know what bores are. we have seen a few; our instructors may think we are at times but they never say so. Some unfamiliar mind may think our milling instruments are related to boxing-gloves.—we know what they arc. too. but did not have them in mind. Mr. Hepburn is a machine of the right sort, well-oiled, well-balanced, with gears set for a good job. It is well understood that he is ready to throw in high speed when occasion demands. And Mr. Hamilton, like death and taxes, we have always with us. Ivvcn though lie did not manage the foot-ball team to suit every one. nothing of the sort can be charged against him as an instructor. With these men we know we make progress, not the sort that needs a micrometer to gauge but the kind that the eye can see. A few gears are stripped now and then, or a tool post bent, as is to be expected. Men learn by making mistakes. Discouragement never strikes our hearts. That comes, we think, from dealing with iron and untiring, unyielding machines. No credit is taken to ourselves but is accorded to our surroundings. •45 Foundry w :e E organized on the opening night with as many students as the foundry shop could handle, and have been running heats ever since. The stretch when we get to it will be full of smoke and bright sparks from our rapid passage. During the year many improvements have been made in our department, as to equip-XjgpJ ment. Among the most noteworthy of these, we would mention two cupolas, a furnace tor making crucible steel, a brick core-oven, and a pattern rack. An electric-traveling crane will be installed next summer. Under the able supervision of Mr. Dosev. Carnegie lech can boast of its foundry. Of course we figure largely in the scheme of general excellence. Our improvement is commensurate with the growth of equipment. We are digging deep into the mysteries of the sand-pile. 'I'he Foundry-room and its atmosphere is agreeable to us. however unpleasant it may seem to strangers, 'flic sparks don’t burn us. we never choke with smoke, and Mr. Dosev. even if his hair is red. never “gets red-headed with us. Soon after class organization. W. A. Guerin and F. G. Manns “skidood”: and J. P. Koehler. R. J. Prose and J. W. Rankin have been added to the list of future sand-artists. There be those who asseverate that blood in copious streams can be squeezed from turnips long before our instructor can make moulders out ot us. Rut we don’t feel so discouraged. We may be slow and undemonstrative, but that’s our temperament. We do not aim to be flashy and volatile. So long as we arc steady, there is hope. Unsocial? A little bit. maybe, but what did we come here for? Xot to be social lions, surely. What if we do not even know our next-door neighbors. There is no coldness between the rooms. Don’t the Sign Painters habitually dump the debris from their 9 o’clock teas upon our premises? Each man to his own business. We have a fair field for our work and ask no favors. But, dont believe us ill-natured. It’s just our temperament. Foundry Foremen This class was organized about Christmas time. 1907. It is composed of foundry foremen from different shops of Pittsburgh and vicinity. Its object is to get a thorough knowledge of the character of cast iron, steel, and other metals. Professor Crabtree has us under his supervision, and that alone assures us of interesting experiments. Forging N'CK more the months have passed like a shadow into eternity but with the work finished and the knowledge gained still fresh in our memories, we must say again: Here’s to good old ‘Tech’ ”. We arc representing the Schools in that most fascinating of all departments, via., Forging. In addition to its fascination for us shop men, we also have the satisfaction of studying the oldest of all trades. Those who will lake the trouble to look up the record f Tubalcain, sitting, probably (according to Oriental style), blowing wind to his fire, away back at the Genesis of things, will see that this statement is correct. Of course Tubalcain’s system of obtaining air was not so good as the one we have in N’o. 8 and, needless to say, the boys are all able to work hard and faithfully, in an atmosphere so free from dust and smoke. It is but stating with modesty the progress made, to say the Forging Department has attained a success equal to, if not surpassing, that of any other Department. A little visit to X’o. 8 will reveal the truth of this statement and convince even the most doubtful that the sturdy blacksmiths possess strong minds and strong bodies. Their good will toward each other is noteworthy, which must inevitably lead to success. This result is. however, not only surprising but rather to be expected from a class with a teacher as capable as Mr. Taylor, who uniting energy and ability, kindness and patience is ever ready to encourage. Undoubtedly he has won the love and admiration of his class as well as of the Faculty. With his carefully prepared talks on Iron and Steel Working, lie makes the fellows forget the burdens of the day. The boys, as well as Mr. Taylor, will feel amply repaid when they look at the work that has been done during the past year. Eagerly as we arc awaiting the approach of our well merited vacation it is hard to depart from the school which has endeared itself to us. Though we may be separated for several months, our hearts will still be at our Old Tech . PLEASURES OF Pl.UMBING. plumbing shown. It consists of the framework of a three-story apartment house with laundry, kitchens and bathrooms equipped with up-to-date plumbing. Each side is drained by two entirely different systems and all properly vented and finished according to sanitary laws and requirements. This year found a Plumbing Class in the Day School and it certainly made great progress and bids fair to lead the other day classes of the Industrial School. The amount and quality of the work-turned out for the first year was remarkable. The night students have become very intimate and sociable: many, fast friends and chums, 'flic class is well represented in athletics. The Tech baseball team depends altogether upon Dischner and Bragg to do their twirling. Our man 1‘uhs is an infielder. We also have a football star in Marshall, the big guard. Among the ranks of the lower night class may be found many heart-breakers, chief among whom are Mclcher. and Tyler. It might be said here that Turner of the same class is about to “tie up” and the hoys are expecting a treat. So wake up. George. The bovs wish to extend their sympathy to their class mate Harry Priddy. who was compelled to leave them early on account of sickness in his family. Also, to G. C. Aumiek who has not been with them since Christmas on account of illness, 'flic class has a strong pool team which they think cannot be beaten, the stars being T. Clarke and C. A. Coulter. J. J. Savage claims to be a billiard expert but none of us ever saw him perform. We wonder what he knows about English”. McDonough says if lie doesn't get that bibb wiped on this year, he will next. Let us hope so. 1 T I 111'. I histle Board as well as the school in general will be very much surprised to hear from the Plumbing Class. 'Phis noble body of students has been in existence for two long years and never a word have we had to say about ourselves. But it requires only a short visit to the shop to see that we have taken every advantage offered by this greatest of Trade Schools. In the Plumbing Shop may be seen one of the greatest pieces of exhibition work ever 149 Journeymen Draftsmen More than three hundred years ago a fisherman walking along the shore of the Mediterranean picked from a pile of sea-weed, cast up by the waves, a small stone of peculiar, angular shape. This unique stone caught his wandering fancy and he sat down to think of its possible history, for it was not often that angular stones were to be found on the shore of the sea. As he gazed, he sketched upon the sand its rough outline. I.ater he carried it home to his hut and elaborated his design. From some such humble source as this, the science of drafting sprung. In February. 1907, a class in C. T. S. began, with as much interest as that of the ancient fisherman. to draw designs of many sorts. It is not necessary in this simple history to use the lofty rhetoric of Demosthenes or the eloquence of a Cicero to show that these tyros were not as familiar with their tools as is a king with his sceptre. Imagine one with all the self-assurance in the world proceeding to draw a hypocycloid using an erasing shield as a French curve! However, with the stick-to-it-till-I-die spirit, we have at last succeeded in doing work that would cause an Angelo to demand a raise. Judging from the attitude of the class toward everything in general and toward work in particular, it is safe to say the fellows arc near that stage of perfection where all deserve special mention. A few, of course, are leaders in the race for an “II”; arc leaders because they have succeeded in combining in their work those elements most essential to a finished draftsman, speed, accuracy, neatness, and practical ability. Upon this honor-roll we write the names of Kegel. Price, Bown, Grant, Kal-bercr. Appcnrodt, and Brain. To be sure, that list might have been longer had not those unmanageable. trifling incidents of the matrimonial state kept us so often elsewhere. Peculiar as it may seem, the men have always carried with them that spirit of good-fellowship seldom found away from the bonfires of victory. Instructors have had the same spirit,—how could they help it ? Now that the year is nearly over, it is with some sadness that we close the compass, lay away the pen and the scale, walk out. and see the doors close on a happy year's work. � 5 Journeymen Mathematics Yes, wc study Mathematics—some of us,—Kalbcrer locs, at any rate. Good boy. Kalberer, you haven’t missed a recitation this year. The rest of us have been naughty at times. Little matters like the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides, square root, cube root, etc., have no terrors for us; we are more familiar with such things than Mr. Birge is with our names. Our personalities arc certainly striking enough to make any man remember us. It isn't our fault. But then, the man to whom Mr. Birge talks usually knows he is being addressed. So. let it go. Schreibcis. Miller, and a few others seemed unable to get in right at the beginning of the year. Their troubles ceased, however, as soon as Messrs. Morris and Corrao could appreciate their advancement in the subject; it pays to advertise. Docs President Zcllman do anything, we wonder. besides plan smokers and banquets? We can see him in our dreams, going from room to room with notices of social stunts. Once, an instructor raised his fist to smite, but Zell faded from the room with so sweet a smile, so magnificent a chest, ami so graceful a manner that the war stopped right there.—and Mr. Zcllman went to the next room. You can't keep a good man down. Our instructors have been good natured as a rule, even when we showed them they were wrong,—Mr. Xcudorfcr is never in error—; we have always been genial and even-tempered; the work has been helpful and about as difficult as we care to tackle. There was surely enough of it and wc are satisfied. Evolution of a Pattern Pattern Shop Notes UR instructors arc always commending “growth . They find it in ns. We are Growth. Like all great things we had humble beginnings. The basement held us first, but not for long. Our present quarters arc roomy, compared to others, but more space must soon be given XejlpJ Yes, we cut a considerable figure in G. T. S., pine lumber and fingers. So long as C. _ 'I'. S.. pine lumber and digits show a growth commensurate to ours, no wail, save that of the planer, will come from the pattern shop. Give us room. glue, adhesive plaster, and clear pine; we will furnish the brains, industry, and the fingers. What have bruises, cuts, clipped linger joints and black eyes to do with our destinies? Nothing. The mere dust of travel! Our instructors have been over the route. The work's the thing! Oft with skin and joints! To shavings with the lumber! Here's to Success,—and to the “First Aid to the Injured outfit! Our motto is, Glue . See why? Glue is just like one's education. If properly applied and not put on too thick and cold, it will make a good job and not fall to pieces at the first real test. We stick to the job, we annex things and hold 'em—skill, knowledge, intelligence. Thus we grow. We learn that to do much in this world it is necessary to hit one’s thumb occasionally and at the same time keep from speaking our mind and that men, like patterns, need the roughness removed with sand paper, and that varnish, shellac, or polish do not always hide tlie putty underneath. All nationalities have representatives in this department, and one man is just as good as another,— if not a little better. No inter-neeine strife, no bloodshed, barring the toll of the jointer and circular saw. has occurred, nor will. The only act resembling war was the “necking- by Sir. Pfouts of a blustering visitor from another department. (Our teachers are efficient in instructing, in surgery, in story-telling and bouncing. Try 'em on.) The writer has learned by observation and experience that it is both painful and harmful to one s appearance to get-personal, but nevertheless we cannot keep from mentioning the wonderfully stimulating effect one of Mr. Parsons “pink teas” had on Schwartz, lie really worked afterwards, and Mc- 53 Roberts admitted that no one hit him, but that his black eyes and bruised nose were the result of pounding his brains. Not so with “Dinip”. It was lower down with him (or was it an excuse wanted?) At any rate he was overheard to say, “A word with you, friend. Don’t let that man Pfouts give you any remedies for stomach ache; the ache is to be preferred.” Wallace has hinted that his papa will enter school next year. He says. “I need him to inspire me to attend, as the skating rink and ‘her blue eyes' remove all desire to learn a trade, although I know I will need it to provide for her later.” Obcrmcicr differs from Wallace in several respects. In the first place his attendance is good, but his father and all the family would need to be on the job to get him to work. Roberts is such a versatile chap, (being surveyor, draughtsman, patternmaker, etc., etc., etc.?), it was necessary to call his attention to the fact that the easiest man to fool is the one that knows it all. We have other notable men in this department Don Kinder, of Braddock. for instance, and Mc-Murrav. who can do work on a planing machine without knives in place. We also have a King and Soss to serve him and we have another called “School Spirit”, that's a dandy. Always on the job. We have not supplied many men for baseball, football or other teams, but we have been Johnny-on-the-spot to cheer ami encourage the good fellows who represent •• . . of us. We have no kick coming in any way. Wc arc satisfied and believe our instructors arc. but wc would appreciate a call occasionally from Director Hamcrschlag and Professor Conncllcy as our Ego is well enough developed to make us feel that we arc doing things and would like them to check up the job. They will find that wc allowed for shrinkage of castings, but in no other way. as wc believe in doing just the opposite. We feel that though the school is still young, it is a precocious youngster whose giant hands in future years will hold out opportunities to all young men who have the will to work, not only for themselves, but for the welfare of society in general. 54 Sheet JMetal Department HE Sheet Metal workers organized January 29th, 1906, with Mr. M. Y. Pehl and Mr. C. W. Motts for instructors. Mr. Swenson was elected Class Leader and has proved worthy of the name. Throughout tlie year we worked with vim, and that is enough to say. This class lets its work do the talking and puts crimps into the fellow who docs much of it. Our spouts arc mainly metal. October 21st. 1907. Here we arc again, the old students with the same characteristics and the same zest for work, ready to make things hum and to gently reprove any new man who makes too many bad breaks. Incidentally, we made one ourselves, when we permitted ourselves to join an indignation meeting to reprove the F.ditor of the Tartan for not printing items from our schools. As is usual when men become rabid, we were in error: no representative had been elected by 11s for the Tartan Hoard. Soon, everything was lovely and the goose continued to honk as high as ever. It seems that the most level-headed men must be foolish at times. Such is life. Mr. Pehl was compelled to leave us, on account of illness. We regretted that, but are glad to sec his smiling face from time to time in his old room. Mr. Kurtz is now assistant in the department. The various offices and committees of the school arc strengthened by our representatives. Pride is not becoming in any organization. We do not have any that is not warranted by fact. It is self-evident that we are just as “many” as any other brother or sister department. This feeling is warming, stimulating, beneficial, 'flic “fact” just mentioned is this,—that the Sheet Metal men have advanced and arc advancing as fast as any other class in Tech. A strong statement? Not a bit. A visit to our department will convince you that pride in our work is justified. Comrades! Instructors! Carnegie Tech! Here’s health, happiness and success! 55 Rouse painting W UR department comprises and includes all the popular as well as the mechanical branches of the general painting trade, such as House Painting, Hard-wood finishing, Staining. Varnishing, Kalsomining. Glazing, Graining, etc. Despite somewhat crowded quarters and inadequate facilities, due to lack of space, the paint shop is recording splendid results—a splendid class of industrious anti enthusiastic students in charge of Mr. R. 1;. Tischcr, are energetically applying themselves to the mastery of certain branches of work, year, the graining class is receiving special consideration and some exceptionally fine work is being done by the class. Next season’s work is being planned on a larger scale, including technical and theoretical work in principles of painting. Hardwood finishing, which is becoming a very high and artistic branch of the painting trade is to receive special attention. Special lectures in paint chemistry and analysis of the various pigments, principles of color— harmony in colors and treatment thereof arc given from time to time. It is the intention to make this Department a thorough, practical, and scientific feature of this great school. Way up in the sky parlor, where no earthly interruptions to our inspirations can possibly take place, you will find the angels, who make natural wood with the aid of nothing more than thumbnail and pigment, with an occasional amount of perseverance thrown in. Here you will find every known wood carefully reproduced, and some which is not found in nature; Oak. Hemlock. Forelock, Chestnut. Pea-nut. Cocoa-nut, and many other woods—just as “nutty”, but we are a happy lot and while our shop is situated on the top floor—we seldom get up in the air”. J. L. Milton Hhnkv Hkixkmax. Edgar E.

The Class in Sign Painting had its inception at the organization of the Carnegie Technical Schools in November, 1905. and began work on January 29th, 1906: During this first short term we made a very creditable showing. The second year was ushered in with practically the same roll of students to which was added other names. This year was marked with rapid progress on the part of all the students. We arc now finishing our third year with one of the largest classes under individual instruction in the School of Apprentices and Journeymen, if not in the entire schools. Our class has always been noted for the earnestness and enthusiasm of its members—their rapid progress and the high class spirit that inspires them. Our work this year is almost entirely shop practice, with the exception of a series of lectures, but next year we will have, free hand drawing, a little chemistry of colors, and English. From prehistoric man down through the ages we have followed the handiwork of every nation in their effort to give expression to thought through the medium of the artist's hand. The characters and hieroglyphics that told their story on the coffins of old Egypt’s mummies or on the walls of classic Grecian Temples were traced by one who painted the language of his time. Long ages before the printing press had its birth the hand of the Sign Painter was boasting of the victories of a nation’s generals or advertising the wares of her merchants. We arc trying to leave our impress on the thought and art of today and while we boast of antiquity we are alive to the living, breathing, pulsating now”. We are decorating, not desecrating, the landscape everywhere.—The Sign Painter of today is an artist in the fullest sense of the word, lie is hourly creating new expressions of beauty with a strictly utilitarian purpose. He is covering the moving vans of progress with new lines of beauty and is painting forms in color on our fences, barns and warehouses. 159 While each department no doubt feels it occupies the center of tlie stage, the Sign Painters’ have shown they arc never in the rear. The royal good feeling we have in our class room finds expression in the welcome we give each new student and in the social functions that have marked us as a branch of “hustlers and jolly good fellows”. ! We owe much of our success to the untiring persistence and kindness of our instructor, Mr. J. P. Ottcrsen. With a comprehensive knowledge of his art and the rare faculty of imparting it to others he inspires confidence in his students. There are no trade secrets” in the Sign Painting class; we can know it all for the asking and indeed without it. We are looking forward to even greater success in the coming year. With larger quarters and better equipment we expect to do wonders. We have an organization as a student body, comprising ten Trade Departments. Perhaps we don’t do a few stunts, when it comes to using Parliamentary I.aw. in complying with the rules of our constitution (or the Declaration of Inconvcnicncics. Inaugurated Nov. 14. 07. two minutes late). On that date we elected and we support (sometimes) the following officers: President ......................... W. A.

Electric Wiring II) you ever stop to think of the marvelous possibilities of a simple sheet of paper and the curious combinations of straight and curved lines composing the alphabet? A few strokes of the pen and the erstwhile blank and expressionless page becomes a talisman of magic power. Under its influence one is plunged into the depths of despair—another stroke and one is raised to the seventh heaven of happiness. Its message may transform a sane man into a raving maniac or inspire a yokel with the ambition of an Alexander; seat a peasant on a throne or send a Napoleon to exile. With what extremity of caution, then, sltouUi one presume to engage in the perilous enterprise of writing for publication! Yet the editor of this noteworthy and epoch-making volume approached the writer lately (Oh, so lately !) and with as much nonchalance as one might say “Gimme a match ,—requested him to “Write a History of the Class for the Thistle . All good histories used to begin “Once upon a time” and end with And they lived happily ever after , so 1 will say, once upon a time a great and good man named Andrew Carnegie, who wanted to confer a lasting benefit on mankind and spend some money, decided that he would erect a great building and call it the Carnegie Technical Schools, where deserving and ambitious young men should be taught to do electric wiring, so that when Edison dies there shall be good men ready to carry on his work. Other trades arc also taught there, but of course electric wiring is the most important. Hut to resume —truth to tell, dear reader, this class hasn’t made much history, but it will. We arc not “has beens”,—we are is to be’s , so look out for us in the future. Requests have been made for the reservation of several good sized niches in the Hall of Fame for members of this class, but just now we arc chiefly occupied with the duty of filling our niches in the class room and earning degrees indicated by the symbols H. C. P. F. and L. Many things we learn, however, which arc not in the curriculum and which are not to be found in books. Some of the instruction is given verbally by the Assistant Acting Registrar, when wc visit him informally in Room 113. For example, we learn that “cutting” classes does not increase one’s ability to carve out a career and that there is no “short circuit to knowledge. 161 The wiring class was organized in the year i, C. T. S. or 1905, A. D. There were twenty-four pupils; twelve journeymen and twelve apprentices, all of whom were employed during the day at the trade, sessions being held at night only. The next year, 1906-7. two new classes were installed, the second year or advanced group of students being dubbed the “Middle Class”, and the first year students the “Lower Class ; however, there is no invidious social distinction implied. As during the first year, instruction was given at night only. The beginning of the current year saw the usual influx of new blood into the night class. It was further marked by a notable event, viz., the inauguration of a day class in wiring. This introduced a new element into school life. These students being of more tender years and not having had previous experience in the profesh” are somewhat lacking in the staid and settled habits of deportment engendered by a few years of contact with the rude and unfeeling world of workers. Speaking of the class as a whole, including both day and night students, we feel that we have done our share in contributing to the success of the schools. Several of the members have made, and are making. a good showing in athletics, and we are well represented in the student organizations. While our chief aim is to become skillful wircmcn. other accomplishments are not neglected, some of our number possessing marked ability in certain lines not indicated on the schedule. Ventriloquism has an exponent who works real hard at it and can almost make the rest of us think he is not himself. Some day he'll forget who he is, then we will tell his right name. Several budding artists and caricaturists delight us with exhibition of their work on the blackboards, the likenesses frequently being very striking. We say striking, advisedly, because the subjects usually want to fight when they see the pictures. In training for the vaudeville stage, is another who. when not reposing on the steam radiator, can always be found juggling. He can toss three porcelain insulators in the air, and sometimes catch all but two of them. Fact! Judging from the frequency and merit of the debates which rage before roll call and during the lunch hour much oratorical talent is going to waste. The most prominent figure in these contests is the silver tongued orator” from Maryland whose speeches on the negro question and the labor situation arc inspiring, if not convincing. Electricity being an inviting field for invention, it is not surprising that several students have early turned their attention in this direction, and it is confidently predicted that some day they will 162 make something that will actually work. One of the youngest of the class is making use of knowledge gained in the study of mechanism, working diligently on a near-perpetual-motion machine based on the resiliency of chewing gum. Lack of space alone prevents the mention of other individuals of suspicious merit, but enough has been said to show that the class in Electric Wiring is wide awake, enthusiastic and progressive, and an important factor in school life. My Pipe’s out. Gimme a match. 163 Brick Laying l uil K bricklayers tend strictly to our own business in our department next the “Commons”, putting up from day to day the required tale of bricks. No rude and jarring noises disturb the calmness of the room nor ruffle the temper of Mr. Nolen. The gentle swash of mortar and clink of trowel, mingled with appetizing odors of delicatessen from the adjoining construction works, make our room delightful. We actually do things, too. Arches, walls, columns, piers, buttresses,—everything old Pharaoh made his subjects build,—we Mr. Nolen furnishes all the brains we lack and the School secs to it that good brick and excellent mortar arc ours. Our eyes and hands are fast learning to work together. Is it any wonder we are contented? If you doubt our happiness and cheerfulness, look at our original. “Bricks”. Good-nature shines, always, from his face. He is our happiest man, probably because he has had most of the brick-layers “atmosphere”. There is money in sight for us. Do we not constantly learn that “brick and concrete are the lumber of tomorrow”. Who is it that so often says “A man without money but with a trowel in his pocket and a knowledge of bricklaying in his head can start from Maine and travel to California and back, living like a lord all the way? We have heard that somewhere. Some of the boys believe it. Didn’t Rogers get married on the strength of it? Right in the middle of the recent financial troubles, too! The world looks bright to us. A little work and attention now. and the red gold turns usward. Sometimes we think we work too industriously. “Tony” is with us still, but the poor man shows wear. No wonder! It is fun to create fine walls and arches, the worst kind of drudgery, to take them down. “Tony’s” predecessor fell under the strain. We pity wreckers wherever found. The man who constructs is cheered on bv thoughts of his good work. That's why brick-layers arc cheerful and healthy. The insurance companies consider us the best of risks. Glance into our room some day. Wc may not seem companionable at first, our work is so engrossing. Stay long enough to judge us properly, and you'll wonder why more callers don't drop in. We are all right, our work is all right, and so is Instructor Nolen. If any class in school is sociable, industrious, and contented with everything, it is the Bricklayers. 165 Stationary Engineering Glass On the cold and windy evening of January 9th 1907. George Brownhill was seen walking through the snow drifts of Schenley Park closely followed by Scott Noble. Although tltc weather was so cold that icicles hung from their mustaches each wore a small cap on the back of his head. Each was dressed in trousers large at the top and small at the bottom and turned up about three inches above the tops of his low shoes. These two lads seemed happy as they trudged along for they were whistling School Days’’. Their books neatly strapped together and slung over their shoulders gave them the appearance of having not a single care in the world. They were the pioneers of the Stationary Engineering Class and were going to their first lesson. It would be rather hard to describe the thoughts of this class when its members first stepped into their class room. Standing back of the desk was a young fellow who looked as if he had just left school and'didn't know a boiler from a connecting rod. It is needless to say that troubles came thick and fast. One night as the men came into the room there was a strange looking object sitting beside the young fellow behind the desk. Mr. Day introduced this strange object as an equation and then proceeded to show off its fine points and the number of contortions which it could go through and still retain its personality. The men were a little awed at first by this exhibition and perhaps a little skeptical as well, but as the term wore on their wonder ceased and even Kitts stopped asking for the “reason why”. The work proceeded smoothly and about the middle of March the Craftsmen’s Club was organized. It was at this point that the class took a stand and made themselves known to the school. The visit to the power plant across the way was enjoyed by all. The next inspection trip was very exclusive, Schmitt starting out by himself to inspect the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. Unfortunately, or rather, fortunately. Dempsey had another engagement that night and so couldn’t go with him. Schmitt’s trouble was that he chose a night for his trip during the vacation at the W oman’s school and so found the building dark. It would be a hard task to relate all the difficulties encountered but they were met and overcome, as can be shown by “Bee” Miller’s first attempts to draw a circle free hand compared with his 166 last ones; Young’s sacrifice in giving up two nights a week when he might be elsewhere, etc. To sum up. it can be said that tlie men came, they saw. and they conquered almost everything they saw.

'1'. S., the History of the Day School of Applied Design to date will he an ever living picture to its members, in whose minds will forever be treasured up the happy days spent within its walls. Happy, thanks to the efforts of those members of the !• acuity with whom the boys came in touch. Happy, because, being small, it made distinction between classes subordinated to united efforts in behalf of the Day School of Ap-Dcsign. Happy, because, being small and its members being together so much of the time, the connections made during those days arc such as will last a life time. Happy, because the incidents that occurred during these years are such as will be recalled by many an event in the future. Although as a distinct school the Day School of Applied Design did not begin its existence until September. 1906. there arc some of us who have the distinction of being members of the Charter Class, having been required to take the Applied Science course the first year. During that year, Professor Hornbostcl’s lectures proved a pleasure as well as an additional incentive to selecting the pne course in Architecture. pivc Juniors and eighteen Irregular students opened up the Department of Architecture of the Day School of Applied Design in September, 1906, with Professor Hornbostcl at the head assisted by Mr. McGoodwin and Mr. Lee. They will never forget the “shanty” in which they began their 73 studies. Although not convenient, it was very congenial and productive of many happy reminiscences. They will also never forget the first Beaux Arts Society Esquissc, for an Ionic Tomb. The unfamiliarity of the requirements of a sketch, the conflicting opinions as to the meaning of the wording, the possible failure of handing the sketch in on time; all were productive of much uneasiness among the members, who flitted about from One to another as though they were defending their lives before a Tribunal. Xor will they ever forget the first Charcttc, with its days of hard work and wakeful nights. After several weeks of toiling during which Professor McGoodwin labored steady and hard, with Professor Hornbostel's weekly lectures and criticisms, the Charette came around. It was a time when everybody was hustling to get Ins drawing ready for rendering. Prof, llornbostcl came here with the express purpose of helping them out, a custom he has ever since continued because of his delight in being one of the fellows again. They will never forget Professor Ilornbostel, Professor McGoodwin and Mr. I.ec rushing from one drawing to another adding a line here and a touch of the brush there: giving this drawing a washing and getting another one ready for the operation: borrowing colors from one. brushes from another, and saucers from a third. Xor will they forget the stories told by Professor Ilornbostel relative to his student's life, the puffs from his cigar acting as natural pauses; and the hazarded guesses of each that his drawing would surely receive “First Mention . To Professor McGoodwin is due the happy suggestion to organize the Tech Architectural Club and when the Department moved to the new buildings, the club held the first smoker which proved a huge success; for what with the music, speech making, boxing, and last but not least, the refreshments. the evening was enjoyed by all present. As interest in the club increased and an insignia by which it might be known at large became desirable. Professor Ilornbostel donated the funds necessary for a competition for a club pin, which was duly held and a design selected. During that year this department appeared somewhat in the character of “nobody’s dog and accordingly at the Easter vacation was given notice to pull its freight and take up its quarters in Machinery Hall. Here, what with the noise of the trains pulling that heavy grade and continually interrupting Professor Hornbostel’s lectures, until he was actually forced to speak to them fluently in “French,” and the falling hunks of ceiling, they managed, in the intervals between these interrup- l7A Day Sciiooi, ok Appukd Design tions, to pass very enjoyable hours. Here it was that the T. A. C. assisted by the Night Students, held its first exhibition which came off with Hying colors, the public being awakened to the desire for the ' Beautiful.” When the beautiful spring weather came around, bringing with it the inevitable spring fever and an overwhelming desire for exercise, the draughting rooms looked deserted for a couple of weeks. Prof. MeGoodwin. in desperation, revised the schedule to accommodate one baseball period a day. In order that this enthusiasm might not be lost the T. A. C. organized and uniformed a baseball team, and needless to say. in the great game of the year trounced the Night School severely. On the 19th of June the school year closed with the last grand charette on the Government Building and adjourned until September, some of the members, we regret to say, for good. The current school year, with a registration of more than twice that of last year and a considerable increase in the Faculty, found 11s occupying the entire first floor of building C. the draughting room as it now stands with its convenient, large lockers and adjustable lights being a model of its kind. These conveniences, however, were not installed when the year opened; nevertheless, we were patient and worked as zealously as if they were. Needless to say the Seniors. Juniors and Second Year Irregulars took one side of the room and assigned to themselves all the things of general convenience and comfort, while the First Year Irregulars were herded on the other side with all the discomforts of low tables, etc. 'fhc new students passed through the same experiences with their first “Esquissc” and first ‘‘charette” as those of last year. The charette. needless to say, with its days and nights of hard work, made diversions necessary in which the Day and Night students mixed in friendly good fellowship. These diversions culminated in the happy suggestion of one of the Juniors to have parties the last night of each charette. The idea was a good one and was immediately carried out and continued the last night of every charette. Professor Hombostel and Professor Manx especially enjoying them. This good fellowship served as a fie between the Day and Night fellows which we see typified in the joint social gathering they arc planning to have in the near future. Towards the close of the fall term the relations between the Day School of Applied Design and the Civil Department became strained owing to the jealousy of the latter. One day the Civils 176 tried to enter the Architectural Department cn masse”. Their intentions were quickly discovered, the alarm given, and we massed ourselves in front of the doors. W e succeeded in driving them back in utter confusion. As the school developed and grew in importance it became necessary to form an organization, suiting its needs and requirements. Accordingly, such an organization was formed and officers elected so that henceforth the Day School of Applied Design will protect its own interests. In February. Professor Hornbostel made the startling announcement that he would give a traveling scholarship to Europe to the member of the School of Applied Design receiving the greatest number of Beaux Arts values during the current year. Needless to say. his offer was enthusiastically taken up by the Day Students and a hot race for it has ensued. Before closing, this history must not omit to state the fact that the records of the Day School of Applied Design for the past two years show that it has received more mentions compared to its size, as well as more mentions with distinction, at the hands of the Beaux Arts Society than any other school in the country, the Night School of the C. T. S. not excepted; nor must it omit to state the fact that for its interest in C. T. S. affairs and for its enjoyment of college life and all that makes college life what it is. the Day School of Applied Design is not surpassed by any of the other schools of the C. T. S. Judged from the history disclosed in these pages the Department of Architecture of the Day School of Applied Design is destined for a great future but we hesitate to prophecy and are satisfied to let the succeeding years tell their own story. 77 Dtstory of the JNtgbt School of HppUed Design. HE Niglu School of Applied Design, better known as “The Atelier —was one of the first classes in the C. T. S. to get into actual operation. The Class was organized by Mr. llenry Hornbostcl who was appointed Professor of Architecture of our school. It was decided as the hest course of study, that we should undertake the competition held by the Beaux Art Society of New York. Work was started in a rush in The Paint Shop , our temporary quarters, and thirteen tenacious students submitted drawings in the first competition. Great was our joy and demonstrations when we received the news that the work of one of our nouveaus had received second prize out of one hundred and eighty-four drawings submitted by students of various universities located throughout the United States. Our second effort brought us better success. This time more and better drawings were submitted, and one of our students received first prize. This time there were fifty-four sets of drawings to select from. From thence on our work has not only improved but has developed good fellowship and sociability which has become locally famous. Invitations to our shindigs have been eagerly sought, not only by others in the C. '1'. S. but by people all over town. We became so prosperous that by Christmas we were given the “Shanty” as our permanent quarters. This move was so agreeable to us that we celebrated the event by holding a shindig , which we very frequently look back upon with the most pleasant recollections. Hardly an evening passed that we did not have music by some members who had lung power to spare or an impromptu vaudeville show. On Tuesday evenings Mr. Hornbostcl would add variety to our entertainment by giving us illustrated talks and by telling us funny stories which would make our lower jaws drop very listlessly and cause our eves to literally pop out of our heads. We felt greatly indebted to our worthy patron. Mr. Hornbostel. for having deprived himself of so much, and for paying us so many flying visits from New York. W e got our heads together and conspired to lure him to a secluded Italian Restaurant at Tunnel Street and Webster Avenue. There on June 25. 1906. lie found a beautifully decorated room, with a well trained Italian Band in full swing, and a rather appetizing Italian feed of forty covers. His attention was at once attracted 179 to an immense poster which was made in his honor. His portrait was the chief spot of interest and around it was grouped the buildings of the C. T-. S.. which lie designed. So successful was t e event that the Annual Patron’s Dinner is now a tradition which is looked upon by all of the students of the School of Applied Design as the event of the year. This affair was the windup o: a most satisfactory year. Vacation time passed very slowly and we often gathered on street corners or in restaurants to express our wish that the atelier would soon resume business. Several magnificent initiations were arranged for the nouveaus that would enter school in the fall. When school opened in the fall we immediately initiated the nouveaus. They afterward felt that they had received initiation enough to admit them into all of the societies in the United States. W e then turned our attention to oiling the now rusty project machinery. We were rather successful and succeeded in turning out projects bv the yard all winter. As our machinery was extraordinarily well lubricated we succeeded in landing more than our share of first mentions. Quite a few new voices were added to our choir, which composed some new songs, and our vaudeville troupe was doubled in numbers and in variety oi their productions. The water cure was invented for the benefit of some unruly members. The water cure is possibly most responsible for the fine condition of the Atelier. We have a fine treatment which is highly recommended by those who have experienced it. Snake dances were introduced by some enthusiasts who were not particular where they danced, it often becoming necessary to bring the fire hose into play to quell the riot. Smokers, dinners and theater parties were found to be essential to the real artistic life and these were incorporated in our schedule. We organized a base-ball team which did a few stunts in the spring. We had an artistic array of base-ball togs but could not find enough ball-plavcrs to fill them. Most of the boys were interested in golf. However we competed with the Tech Architectural Club to determine which team could have the most runs scored against them and reluctantly conceded to them the championship. The boys displayed unprecedented enthusiasm in their arrangements for the Second Annual Patron’s Dinner, which is dealt with elsewhere in this issue. It is enough to say that this affair closed a most prosperous school year, from the standpoint of work accomplished and good fellowship and sociability promoted. The current year opened with an increased membership of about forty per cent. The new i.So Night School ok Aitmkd Design students were obliged to submit to the initiations allotted them after which we got down to business. The social events of this year have been almost repetitions of those of preceding years, except that they have been more elaborate. The Atelier has become a continuous vaudeville show, with a variety of good music, dancing and story-telling. The students have become so accomplished in design that in three years they have given the Carnegie Technical Schools a standing in the instruction in Architecture which is second to no university in this country. The largest smoker held by the Night School occurred in February, when we arranged the Atelier for the occasion. We had an abundance of good music and stories,—and lots of encouragement from our Faculty. An elaborate feed was prepared and no one seemed to be on the sick list. It was at this smoker that Mr. Hornbostcl particularly praised us for our work, and gave us the first annual foreign travelling scholarship ever given in Pittsburgh. The boys doubled their efforts at design in hopes of landing the coveted prize of three months' vacation in Paris. As the result about two hundred dollars’ worth of water color has been splashed around the Atelier. To relieve the monotony an occasional nouveau has been painted up. In the latter part of April a joint smoker was held with the Tech-Architectural Club, the organization of the Day School. The good feeling which has always existed between the day and night students surpassed itself on this ocasion. and every one declared himself as having enough fun to last for some time. 'I'lte night students have joined the day students in the annual exhibition of our combined work which is to be held in the Carnegie Art Galleries in the early part of June. The Tech-Architectural Club controls this event and in return we control the Annual Patron’s Dinner, but they join us in this entertainment. Preparations are now under way for the third annual dinner which is to be held in the latter part of May. One hundred twenty-five night and day students will participate in this celebration, which promises to be an event in the Architectural world Arrangements arc already under way to initiate the nouveaus in the coming year. It is proposed that we select a fine Saturday in the early fall and retire to some country hotel where we shall be well cared for. and there initiate the beginners in the mysteries of Architecture.

The time and the place were indeed appropriate for this memorable occasion, the night being warm, the banquet room and surroundings were gaily decorated' with lanterns and Tech colors. A more artistic place certainly could not have been found. The large and attractive poster painted by Mr. Stanley Roush occupied a prominent place on the wall just above the head of the table at which Mr. Hornbostel sat. This poster was reproduced in miniature form and served as a menu card which is certainly prized by all who had the pleasure to partake of this bountiful feast. Our patron delivered the opening address and thereafter alternated with the other speakers in his witty and extremely pleasant descriptions of his college days in Paris. Messrs. McGood-win. Lee, Janssen and Weber then made brilliant speeches as did several boys of the class. Our Director honored us by his presence and a brilliant speech. This was the first C. T. S. student dinner he ever attended. The first course was served about 9 o’clock, and needless to say the water of France had an important place on the menu card, and was the cause of much jollification. About 3 A. M. the boys departed each carrying a large onion-shaped and gaily decorated tankard. paraded the downtown streets, and after several altercations with tlie officers of the law. finally dispersed and thus closed the long to be remembered Patron's Dinner, which is intended as an established annual finale for the School of Applied Design of the Carnegie Technical Schools.

M. C. S. Margaret Morrison Game ie ARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE, in honor of whom the Woman's School of the Carnegie Technical Schools is named, was born in Scotland in the year 1811, and died in November, 1886. She was the daughter of Thomas Morrison, a leather merchant, whose political opinions were those of the Radical party, and who attained no little reputation as an orator in his own neighborhood. Mrs. Carnegie who was one of three sisters, was named Margaret for the famous Scottish Queen, wife of Malcolm Canmore of Whan. An Eleventh Century ballad says. “The King sat in Dum-fcnnlanc Tower drinking the blood red wine. Early in the fortieth decade, steam weaving was introduced into Scotland, and Margaret Carnegie’s husband found his occupation gone. It became increasingly difficult to find work, and soon poverty stared the little family in the face, but the mother came bravely to the rescue and oj ened a small shop on Moodie Street in Dumfermline. This effort was not completely successful, because of the hard times and depression in trade that followed the introduction of machinery and the displacement of hand labor, and to emigrate seemed the only way open to success. After selling their looms for a mere pittance and borrowing the small sum of twenty pounds sterling, the Carncgics left their Scottish home and turned their faces towards the Western l.and. that to them was the land of the free, and landed in New York. The long journey to Pittsburgh was made in a canal lxwt by way of Ktiffalo. and in Allegheny, two small upper rooms in the home of Mrs. Carnegie's sister constituted the new world home of the Carnegie hamily. Mr. Carnegie started in the business of weaving tablecloths, but there was little demand and to eke out this precarious living. Mrs. Carnegie took in shoes to bind, notwithstanding the many household duties demanding her attention. The eldest boy, the future Iron Master, wanted to take a Ixasket and | eddle wares from door to door to ease the heavy burden resting on the shoulders of the mother to whom he was even then most devoted, but this, her pride would not permit. 190 Not long after, he obtained employment as a bobbin boy in Arbucklc’s Cotton Factory, while his younger brother Tom threaded needles for his mother—and thus did the courageous Scotch woman light poverty; keeping her little family together and making their home happy by telling them tales of her country's heroes and reciting Scottish ballads and songs to encourage them to live noble lives. Andrew Carnegie worshipped his mother during her life and has held her in loving memory since her death, recognizing her rare good judgment and practical sense. This confidence in Mrs. Carnegie's keenness and clear vision was shared by many of her neighbors, and she was frequently consulted upon matters of domestic imjxjrtancc. The Carnegie home was always open to the friends of the boys and on Saturday evening, the welcome that was always awaiting them was heightened by the dispensing of cakes and tea. The brilliantly successful son is never weary of telling how much he owes to the mother who ever incited him to attain success, to make every effort to advance along the avenues open to him. It is therefore well and fitting that a school founded upon the principles of the M. M. C. S.. a school whose primary purpose is to develop character, should Ik a monument to this splendid mother. ■ O' Miss Anna Bkckwith Smith ffnna IBeckiuith |3mith . O'RKIX says, “There is nothing so different from a woman as another woman, except that same woman.” and since I have started to write this little sketch of Miss Smith, I have concluded that he had her in mind. Her subtleties and shadings make her an illusive subject for an amateur pen. Suppose for instance, that remembering times of discipline and lectures or manners and morals. I say that she is very stern. Promptly there comes before my mind a picture of her dancing gayly in the gymnasium on the occasion of the boys’ raid. This is merely by way of apology to those of you who may feel that 1 have not done my subject justice. Miss Anna Beckwith Smith was liorn in Geneva, New York. She is the granddaughter of Dr. John Fowler, Dean of the Geneva Medical College and of Dr. Hamilton L. Smith. Prof, of Astronomy and Natural Philosophy in Hobart College. As a young girl, she dreamed of becoming a famous artist and spent four or five strenuous years working in various schools and studios in New York. “But I finally awoke to the fact, she said, “that talent and genius are two different possessions. I tried to accept the blow with philosophy, and turned my interests in other directions.” She received her early education in nine different schools, finally graduating from St. John, the Baptist’s School in New York City. Then followed a two years’ course at Teachers' College, Columbia University. Her first attempt at assisting young minds to emerge from the embryonic state was at licrkelev School for Boys, New York City. Her popularity must have been unbounded, for it was she who introduced basket-ball, also acting as coach. She is a great enthusiast of out-door life and nothing affords her more pleasure than such sports as diving, swimming, sailing and e’en broncho-busting. At camp, she is a most efficient member, her talents ranging anywhere from painting a boat to running the engine. And in the art of washing dishes! Well, she simply cannot lie surpassed. ‘93 She spent five years in settlement work in connection with St. Mark's church, and I dare say that one of the most interesting and memorable of those years was the one during which she resided on the East Side-Avenue A.” Her interest in manual training along technical lines brought her to Pittsburgh in June, 1905. It must have been written in the stars that she should be the woman to direct the M. M. C. S., for she has gamed the love and admiration of all the students by her kind and sympathetic personality. She jwssesses a buoyant spirit, a keen sense of humor which enables her to look calmly at the difficulties which loom up, and is ever willing to the point of eagerness, to aid any hapless student in finding the blazed trail out of a dark woods. That is why we can go to her as to a friend instead of admiring her silently and from afar. Anna M. Doxkiioo, ’09. We Giri.s •9-1 TTbe Qtoman’s Song These arc the aims that make us one.

SCHOOL pOU UQft ov !v gentle reader will find faithfully indited in these pages ye true history of ye first and greatest Junior Class of yc Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. On the eventful day of September seventeenth, nineteen-six sixty-live timid girls were thrust into a secluded corner of the Carnegie Tech Schools, there to he regarded with gentle tolerance by the men and mild curiosity by the public. The surroundings were absolutely devoid of any homelike appearance—bare brick walls, cement floors, and every now and then an iron bound pillar to vary the monotony. Here it was that these brave young women battled with such new and strange subjects as Terrestrial Evolution. Industrial Economics, and Food Values. That the girls did not succumb to the severe mental strain is curious indeed, but they survived to bear a burden far more serious than any of these subjects. On the shoulders of these few girls rested the responsibility of establishing the PRECEDENTS and setting the examples for the hordes of trusting females to follow in after years. 196 This pathetic picture of our first year struggles is not presented for the purpose of exciting sympathy. It is given merely to demonstrate that by strength of mind, firmness of purpose, and various other good qualities too numerous to mention, the Junior Class has proudly risen from obscurity and performed its duty to the best of its ability. How well this duty has been performed is for you to say: the results are before you. Perhaps the above description leads you to suppose that in our first year life was not all a bed of roses. The supposition is partly true, but a few red letter dates stand out boldly in our memories. Hallowe’en and Valentine Day for instance, when dances broke the gloom. But it was on Pounder’s Day that we permanently emerged from our chrysalis and shone forth in all our glory (we’ve been shining steadily ever since). It was then that the public first became cognizant of us. Arrayed in robes of white, and carrying yellow dowers, we took our places as C. 'I'. S. students. It is said that we did nobly on ibis occasion and were much admired. Of the Class Dance which was held in June, we shall say little here, except that the aflfair was the event of our first year. The harrowing details of the many trials which beset us will not be given here, it is well, however, to state that the Class bore itself with its usual dignity and fortitude in the face of adversity. Our I’lebe Year was drawing to a close when a new problem confronted us. It stirred us to our inmost depths and was this Our Attitude Toward the Plebcs. As Samantha Allen would say. More of this anon. Our second year found us safely domiciled in the new building which is t-o be our home for the next two years. To say that we were tickled is putting it mildly. After the novelty of our clc-gantiferous surroundings had worn off we attempted to settle down to work, but this was not to be. The time had come when we were at last confronted by the Problem: the Plebcs had arrived. Again the Junior Class had a Precedent to establish: what was to be our “attitude toward the Plebcs? They were numerous, but harmless, though some had exalted opinions of themselves. Plainly it would have been downright cruelty to have attempted any severe measures with them, as is done in other institutions. It was not the Plebcs that worried us. it was the fact that we had an iCxamplc to set for the classes to follow in the treatment of the Plebcs. Profiting by our year of Social Kthics and the exhaustive study that we had made of our problem .during the previous year, we decided to be kind and gentle with our newcomers, and try moral 197 suasion instead of hair pulling. We followed the advice of Miss Donehoo, who in her theme on “Attitude Toward the Plcbcs , wrote the following sublime sentence: They are not intruders, but our successors.” The theory was well enough, but when put into practice did not run smoothly as one could have wished. In fact, the Plcbcs became absolutely brazen, and calmly announced that they intended to have a dance in the gym on a certain afternoon: the date is unimportant. This they decided without even broaching the subject to the Junior Class. Of course the matter was entirely too trivial for the Junior Class, as a class, to bother about, so a few of our obliging girls condescended to attend to the matter. This they did in a manner worthy of the world’s greatest strategists. Did you ever meditate on the commotion which a dollar, a head janitress, and assistants with brooms, will produce? Well, to proceed, the Plebes gathered in the gym and were dancing in an hilarious manner when the janitress and her cohorts casually appeared on the scenes. The frightened Plebes gazed with awe at the intruders, and dutifully dispersed, while the engineers of the plot watched the departure. The affair is so simple as to hardly be worth recording, but it was thought best to present it to the reader that lie may judge for himself. Specialization did not destroy the spirit of the class, as some had predicted, for, tho there is friendly rivalry between the sections, the Junior Class is first and foremost. In October the regular election was held and new officers were chosen for the year. The election was hotly contested, which seemed to prove that class interest was not at a standstill. Miss Ramlack was elected to succeed Miss Schwartz, who had ably tilled the President's chair for both the preparatory and the first years. Unfortunately, in the language of Augustus Moddlc, Ada is “Anothcrs” and consequently we have not seen much of her at School lately as her interest seems to be elsewhere now. The duty of presiding over meetings fell upon Miss Sawhill, the Vice President. She is little, but oh my! You can really hear yourself think at Class Meeting. 'fhe Household Arts girls were the first to blossom out in a distinctive garb of pink. Really, they look quite attractive in their togs. The Dressmaking and Costume Design girls soon followed suit, and appeared on the scene attired in creations of light blue piped with white. It is needless to say that they are attractive. The secretariats have the distinction (?) of being the only ones who have no regular costumes, and most of them seem to dislike the idea. The prettiest colors have 19S Day Junior s been selected by the other classes, but still there is nothing to prevent the secretarial front appearing in costumes of pea green, purple or old rose. 'I'hc gymnasium looked good to all of us and we could scarcely await the time when we would all appear in our suits. But really, it was found that you had to work in gymnastics, consequently our ardor has cooled somewhat. The apparatus work must he interesting as well as amusing to the onlooker. For instance, in vaulting the horse, where one has to jump on the right foot before leaping—some of the girls do not jump on their right feet and come to grief. Miss Pfeil attributed her failure to the fact that she is left handed which prevented her from jumping on her right foot. Of course we excuse her. It was promised that after Christmas lunch would be served in the lunch room: this was breaking it gently. First milk was served: this was undoubtedly for the benefit of the Plcbcs. Then cocoa and rolls were dispensed to the hungry throngs who were tired of bringing their noonday repasts in Unccda biscuit boxes. But soon the cocoa diet became even more monotonous than cold lunches, and then it was that a bright lot of girls had a feast. Immediately feasts became the rage, now they seem to have become less popular. We are calmly awaiting the next innovation. The (dee Club which was organized during the first year is as yet an unknown quantity. For some reason or other the members seem to be rather bashful about appearing in public, but as the club has been almost reorganized by the addition of so many Plcbcs. we hope it will now be bold enough to emerge from its secluded haunts and give us an opportunity to decide whether or not it would he best for it to return to obscurity. A distinctly Junior Organization is the Dramatic Club, which was started in the fall. At present the club is devoting its time to a play called Mr. Bob , with Miss Alcorn in the stellar role as Mr. Bob. and Miss Connell as the tall hero. The production will he given before the Day and Night students of M. M. C. S.. and as we have every facility at hand wc should he able to produce something worth while. Let us hope for the best. Next year wc shall he Seniors, and it is to he hoped that the members of this class will stay with us until the doors of the M. M. C S. have closed forever upon us. even tho the temptation he great to have one's name appear in the Bride’s Corner. Here endeth the history: may the gentle reader have profited much by the recital of the doings of the great and glorious Junior Class of 1909. 200 Edna Ckockkr Smith. Distort of 1908 Night School ISTOR1KS arc records of facts—present, past and future. These facts are as true, usually. as the historian is wise—or as lie thinks he is. 'flic history of the Charter Class of the Night School of the M. M. C. S. for Women, which we arc about to relate, will he as true as our memories are good, but as we are going to stretch them over a period of two years, some events must necessarily be omitted. Some facts we would like to forget but cannot, try as we may. Oh. those yellow cards, well, we remember them! Write your names and ages. was the request. 'file names were all right: but the ages! These were written without consulting family Bibles and therefore there are a few inaccuracies. We remember, also, that in spite of earnest endeavor many of us could not spell ambiguity , and that when called upon to display our penmanship, by writing the English alphabet, one of us could only recall three letters. , C . These are a few of the trials of our Junior year, but as Seniors we have distinguished ourselves. Our modesty, will not permit of a too vain-glorious record but. lest future historians neglect to give us due recognition, we shall simply say. “The class of 1908 may have peers, but no superiors. The fame of ur cooks and dressmakers has spread over our greater city. The former spend much of their spare time copying receipts for solicitous housekeepers: while our dressmakers have been compelled to hide under the tables to keep the occasional visitor from walking off with the latent cut of fashionable garments. Nor arc our milliners behind. McCrcery. Paulson and other leading merchants have offered them all the space that they can use in which to display their unique creations. Girls be nimble, girls be true. Girls decipher the curly-eue! is a game the stenographers play perfectly. But alas, the | oor bookkeepers! They never will under- go 1 stand why they must rack their weary brains to find “two-bits when the money drawer contains many thousands of dollars. The time is near when we must lay aside our work here and go out into the broader fields of the wide, wide world. We have set a pace which it will be hard for our successors to keep: but the fact that the Charter Class of the M. M. C. S. Night School has had high ideals may matter much in the future. For “Lives of great women remind us. We can make our lives sublime And, departing, leave behind us. True records of well-spent time. JO-’ 1908 Night Class, M. M. C. S. IS wc arc now prepared and willing to transfer our title of “The Flcbes” to our successors. it seems only appropriate that our thoughts, words and deeds should be duly recorded. In looking over our first school year we arc naturally carried hack to the day on which we took our entrance exams. As we filed beneath the portals of our awe-inspiring building wc were a sorry looking lot. W e had come expecting the word “Technical” to signify the kind of exams we should be required to pass to be entered as students of the M. M. C. S. After one glance at the papers every girl present drew a long deep sigh of relief. The look of frozen misery on every face gave place to the smile that won't come off . livery time a new girl came in. those already seated glanced stealthily out of the corners of their eyes and studied the newcomer through and through. The survey invariably ended with a nod and smile of satisfaction; a vigorous nod being given for one who especially took the fancy. Upon entering the School, after learning our fates as to whether or not wc had passed our exams, wc were piloted to the office. After plunking” down all our worldly wealth, we received in return little yellow tickets which we were told to guard as our very souls, and to part with only over our dead bodies, for without them wc would have no position whatsoever in the school. Our attitude towards each other in those days was certainly not conducive to good comradeship. for each girl was a stranger to the others, and none seemed willing to break the ice. Though the actions of the Juniors during these trying times were anything but friendly, wc must admit that theirs was the hand that helped us to gain class spirit and our present strength of character. Singly, we could do nothing against the Juniors. The knowledge of this led us to organize as a class at an early stage of our existence. As we were utter strangers to each other we elected our officers on sight, rather than on knowledge of their ability. In this we showed the wonderful discernment which goes to make up such a large part of the character of the average American girl, for the officers proved to be such good ones that when we had our permanent election we made no changes. About the second week of school, the Juniors issued a proclamation to the effect that all travel by the Plebes should be confined to one stairway. Also that the Plebes should wear their hair down their backs, and their skirts at an abbreviated length, not tolerated for one instant .by Dame Fashion. That neither these styles, nor the restriction of using one stairway alone, would be tolerated by the Plebes, was shown by their heroic and indifferent attitude in proceeding exactly as before; nor were the Juniors able to enforce any of the terms of their proclamation. After this, to show that there was no hard feeling, and probably prompted by the knowledge that their wiser course was to cultivate the friendship of our illustrious class, the Juniors gave •« dance in the gym. in our honor, at which we buried the hatchet, and spent a very agreeable afternoon. They were very gracious in their manner, and while dancing a dreamy waltz in the arms of a Junior, we almost imagined that we were gliding over the floor with an equal, rather than a vastly superior being. Our first serious and premeditated attempt at entertaining was a Hallowe’en party, to which we invited the Juniors. It was in the form of a phantom party. The gym. was suitably decorated in our class colors, yellow and white. Kvcrv guest received a prophecy of her fate in a gilded nutshell. About the first of November we organized the Glee Club, in which the Juniors are conspicuous chiefly by their absence, although it is a school organization. Interest soon centered in the preparation of a playlet which we presented with great success at Xmas time. On Lincoln’s Birthday, we were visited by a party of United States Senators. On the afternoon of the same day we listened to a very able address on the “Life of Lincoln . During the course of the year we have had a number of very distinguished visitors. Among them were: Miss Allen, who was singing with the Damrosch Orchestra; Miss Jane Addams. of Chicago, who spoke of her work in the settlements; Miss Mary Shaw, the actress, who spoke on the ideal woman; last, but not by any means least. Mr. Ben Greet, who talked to us about Shakespeare’s Heroines. He made us all feel proud that we are women. 206 l'l.KBii Class As the spring approached we felt a need of some way to let out our pent up energy, so we formed a basketball team. It is now ready and willing to play any team, that has the physical, mental and moral courage to face it. As it is with our basketball team, so it is with our class. We stand ready to meet anything with the courage to face us. In conclusion we can only hope that we will gain as much in love and respect for our Alma Mater in our remaining two years as we have in our first. Oxk of Ot;i Girls 208 Plebe Curriculum F all the charming, attractive girls in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, the one who demands the most attention is Miss Plebe Curriculum. Is it any wonder—since fine feathers make fine birds! She has numerous gowns and feminine fol-dc-rols. and keeps her trunk in the General Office, where her many different maids stand ever on the alert to do her service. Three times a week, for instance she appears in a Mathematical gown, worth one thousand dollars—a creation of Mademoiselle Arrowsmith. modiste! and this is only one of many. Not only is she handsomely gowned, but she possesses a striking personality, a fact which shows that her ethical education has not been neglected. Nor is she lacking in the academic branches. Her conversation is a model of classic learning, for her Ivngiish is beyond criticism. In fact, she has become Slutzitized (sensitized) to even the slightest error. Through her research in Ancient History, she has been brought to a full realization of man's economic advancement in the world. She is also a born artist, and. after months of most careful study, is now able to design not only her costumes, hut also thousands of those little creations which add so greatly to the artistic beauty of the house. Her neat figure and graceful carriage arc the result of the untiring effort of her Physical Instructor. Miss Stoner. Together with the learning which she has acquired in Physiology. Miss Plebe has gained a knowledge of medicine so practical that the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School will never need a resident physician. Perhaps it is almost ini| ossible to believe that a young woman who has attained perfection in so many arts and sciences could be such an ideal housekeeper as Miss Curriculum has proven herself to be. Her house is a paragon of ventilation, sanitation, and cleanliness! Here it is a real pleasure to partake of the delightfully appetizing meal, which has required so little effort in preparation. Indigestion is unknown, when Plebe is cook, for she understands the Chemistry of Foods. Never is she at a loss to know exactly what to cook, how to cook it. and when to cook it! Her knowledge of Household Arts is further rounded out and completed by her skill with the needle and her dainty laundry work. 209 Taking into consideration all of her accomplishments, her virtue, grace, skill and charm, who will deny that Miss Plcbc Curriculum is the ideal girl of the Twentieth Century? And if she lives up to the prerogatives of the Margaret Morrison, this Carnegie girl will soon he known to all the world as the true American woman. Thk End OF thk Pakadk 210 Night Faculty of tub M. M. C. S. Class History 1909 Night School. Listen, my friends, and von shall hear. Of the wonderful class that entered this- year. A medley of maidens, young and fair. Whose intellect the faculty fear. X the year Nineteen Hundred and Seven there was a gathering of many Maidens from Greater Pittsburgh in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women. The flower of this gathering organized themselves into a body calling itself the Class of '09. and it is of this class that you now shall hear. Beset by sore trials and tribulations we have passed victoriously on to the chagrin of those mighty people the Seniors. In this, our first year of greatness, we have assembled many titties and discussed wise and diplomatic plans, which, astonishing to say. were never carried out. The democratic spirit prevalent among this immortal class of girls is a source of wonder to faculty and friends and stands out in marked contrast with the exaggerated show of good feeling existing among the Seniors. Our instructors readily recognized at once our great mental faculties and saw all the bright prospects that were before us. We have not disappointed them, and it has been necessary more than once to change the course of study to suit our intellectual capacities. The Class of ’09. young but courageous, has thereby established a precedent for the M. M. C. S.; a precedent which every future class will proudly endeavor to follow. Tlte milliners and seamstresses of this unique class arc artists in their line of work. Long ago they learned the mysteries of hat and costume designing: and now their creations excite the admiration of the fashionable world. Chic is the descriptive word for members of this class. 212 First Vi:ar Night Class The Stenographers and Bookkeepers arc a type of the modern business woman. Their speed and accuracy in their lines of work arc marvellous, and it is a well known fact that remunerative positions await each girl at the expiration of her school year in ’09. Last, but not least, are our Cooks, who excel in culinary arts. It suffices when we say “They eat what they cook .—for as the saying goes. It's a good doctor that will take his own medicine”. Soon, they will reach their summum bonum—the broiling of a beef-steak and the baking of a loaf of bread that tastes like food. This. then, makes brief historical mention of the different sections of the mighty class of '09. Some have thrilling experiences to relate in connection with their class histories, but ours, the banner class, is apparently unaffected by anything except the acquirement and retainment of knowledge. “Where much is given much is required. Hence. Friends. Faculty and Fellow Students, enough has been said to convince you that— The Juniors arc good, the Juniors arc true. And the Juniors one day will be Seniors, too. Then all other classes they will outshine. In the spring of Nineteen Hundred and Nine. Jkssik M. Geokc.k, 09 214 Margarkt Morrison Carnkcik School for Womkn Design Class HEX one says of a woman, She is an artist”, or even, She earns her living by her brush or pencil. promptly there arises before one’s mental vision, a distinct type. A tall. thin, willowy, untidy, dreamy eyed, woman who has forsaken the world for the Bohemian life and to whom a layer or two of dust adds an artistic shimmer. The finishing touches of her study mean much more than the finishing touches of her dress. But the girl who comes to Tech” is taught that there are other things worthy of as much consideration as Art (even Art with a capital letter). Her C's. or even Il's. in drawing do not make up for her P's and P’s in cooking, sewing and economics. No! poor girl, she must have credit in all these minor studies and three histories besides. She has to know something about patching, chemistry, child labor and the middle ages, as well as drawing, color and tone values. To keep us from adopting the Bohemian style of dress, we work long and diligently (or arc supposed to) over costume design, where we learn to adopt the styles to our figures, not our figures to the styles. In drawing, we learn about color combination, tones, etc., so that there is no need for us to wear or even have anything around us that is not harmonious. For fear that we should stand or sit as do others of our profession, we are taught to see ourselves as others see us , in pose drawing. The cruel comments and criticisms that are made in regard to our proportions, make us burn with an earnest desire to correct them according to the ideal proportions that we learn in modelling. These defects we take to the gym. and eliminate them by hanging by one arm. vaulting, and weaving in and out of trellis work, and thus have come as near to the model young woman as we can. Perhaps we should apologize for dwelling at such length on purely personal matters. All through our school life we have had constantly presented to us these savings: Experience is the best teacher . Charity begins at home , and Do the duty that is nearest you . So we hope, dear reader, that you will not think us egotistical or selfish in trying to make ourselves more charming. graceful and beautiful. It is merely that we are trying to combine with these precepts the motto of the artistic world, Strive to beautify some useful object . 21(3 Secretarial Class 'I' is said that when the beautiful Pandora was being made ready to send into the world. Jupiter called all the gods together and instructed each to bestow upon the creature some characteristic. One gave her beauty, another grace, another wisdom, another knowledge, and so it continued until the last presented her with that priceless jewel, curiosity, and thereupon Jove sent her into the world well satisfied that she was the most precious gift he had ever made to mankind. And even so. on the Tenth Day of September, A. I).. 1906. did Miss Anna B. Smith call together her corps of immortal aides to whom she spake as follows: Behold; there is this day en- trusted into our kindly care a beautiful creature; the Secretarial Class of 1909. a class of twenty young women, upon whom are based the fondest hopes of the fathers who begot them and the mothers who bore them. I commend them unto you. Take them and teach them by example, as well as by precept, the possibilities that lie before them. 'Peach them to discharge faithfully and conscientiously the duties that grow out of the relations that they sustain to their fellow man and to the institution of which they constitute a part: to perform with painstaking care, and with diligence, the tasks that devoke upon them. And quite diligently have those minor deities, our well beloved instructors, taught us by pre-. ccpt. or by zeroes at least, that the wisest plan is to take pains with the task at hand, and often-have we resolved, on one day that if the bell would only ring on that day. we would be certain to discharge more faithfully and conscientiously the duty of preparing our lesson for the next day— a duty that grows out of the relation which we sustain to the institution of which we constitute a part. Thus our class is being moulded into a beautiful object with which to bless the world. Our story is to be a twentieth century Pandora tale with the unpleasant consequences eliminated according to modern improved methods. It was quite evident that the gift of curiosity had been abundantly given to our class before it entered the school, so the gods directed their efforts in other directions. Since our entrance, the wise have become wiser, the beautiful have become even more beautiful, and as for knowledge, we 217 have it in the greatest profusion. There are members of our class who can give you detailed information upon any subject you may mention from Stenography to Social Kthics. It would be hard to state which part of the Secretarial Course is the source of the greatest pride to us. Its emphasis is primarily laid upon the home, which is deemed the important and logical sphere for educated women, but it is intended to make us competent women of the world, ready to take our places among the workers and perform our duties, whatever they may be. To do this, a woman must be sure of herself morally, sure of her capabilities and know what her services are worth. In Kthics we are taught what the highest aims and pursuits of a woman should be. We arc made acquainted with the master minds of the world, and from them learn that trust, wisdom, beauty and grace are within the reach of all. Commercial Law makes us think logically and clearly, there are no furbelows in law. Stenography demands that we think and act with the greatest quickness and accuracy, and so on each study in the curriculum has its potent influence in shaping our minds and character. Not only are our minds trained, but our bodies as well, and if we do not become models of graceful deportment in all phases of our existence, it will not be the fault of the gods. We realize that our lot is a goodly one. and feel sure that like Pandora, we will be sent into the world armed capa pic with every known good gift: able to utilize the advantages that are ours, to seize every opportunity that presents itself and. when they fail to present themselves, to make them. 218 The Household Arts The Ideal Course for Women T would scan that the subject of woman's education lias already been worn thread bare, but it is still one of vital interest. Someone lias said. W lien you educate woman, you educate a race . If then, woman’s influence is so potent, the kind of training she receives must be of the utmost importance. Commencement day orators tell us annually that a woman's education should consist of things practical, with less of French and embroidery and less thrumming on the piano. (Query: Did mortal ever get so tired of hearing a girl thrum on a rosewood piano as one docs hearing men harp everlastingly on that one ragged string?) They tell us. too. that men do not wish to marry a French doll or an embroidery frame ('tis their own fault if they do)—therefore let girls be taught cooking, that they may minister to the beast in man. Girls arc all agreed that cooking is a good thing, but not the chief end of woman. Granting that her sphere is by the fireside, as the women’s magazines say. her influence is not, cannot be bounded by the four walls of a home. God never meant her to wrap herself up in a cocoon; if he had. he would have made her a caterpillar. N'or did he intend her to be a mere butterfly, to glide silken sailed down the stream of life. To be a good wife, a good mother, or a good sister, she must first be a good woman. She must be well developed mentally, physically, morally. She must never neglect her three R’s—reading, riding and religion. The course which best develops each side of her nature will best fit her for any position she may be called upon to fill. Such a course is the Household Arts Course of the M. M. C. S. Everyone knows that to be happy, a woman must be allowed to talk. Here in the English class we learn not only how to talk, but what to talk about. (She that rulcth her tongue is greater than she that maketh a stir.) Our conversation is not of bonnets, and bonbons and the latest scandal. but of literature and art and world problems. We have furthermore traced the growth of Christian civilization: we have seen how the welfare of nations depends on the homes; and we have learned how to conduct those homes according to scientific and sanitary principles. By chemical analysis we can detect the presence of the tiniest germ, 219 read his pedigree, and prescribe the proper agent for his annihilation. We can lighten the household expenses by making our own silver polish and toilet soap and even our own gowns, for we know the fearful and wonderful processes by which they are made. The decorator will not be sent for to adorn our homes, for we can design anything from a seven story wedding cake to an aesthetic jardiniere. There will he no need to bother the doctor when little Susie holds her breath or Johnny swallows the door-key. Hilly’s sister will not faint away when lie falls out of the cherry tree, but will bravely gather up the fragments and piece them together as good as new with antiseptic glue. No H. A. girl will, like Dora Copperfield. become disconsolate and tearful at the sight of her account book, for her figures always come out right. Unexpected company will not throw her into a panic. She can make a delightful puree of cellulose out of a cracker box, ami she need only add some whipped cream and a Maraschino clicrn, to the crackers to make an irresistible dessert. She will not. like the young housekeeper of the jokesmith. use canned tomatoes for seed, nor order beef by the leg or oysters by the barrel. Physical Culture here receives as much attention as mental. The student learns deep breathing and gains strength of limb by stair climbing, for are not her dressing rooms and laundry in the basement and the rest of her house on the fourth tloor? If exercising an organ of the body gives it strength, she must also acquire a strong heart, Fleetness. we also learn, for are we not required to get out of one uniform and into another with the rapidity of a “lightning change artist? No man or beast will ever grow old waiting for us to dress for a drive! In the gym., we acquire suppleness and grace, and he who says that we cannot throw straight had better first take himself to a place of safety. Does any one doubt our growth in Christian grace, or our opportunity to develop our naturally angelic tendencies? Our power of patient endurance has been severely tested by the frequent and sudden changes in our schedule. Fortitude, we have learned in the laundry, for do we not even smilingly exhibit skinned knuckles, scorched aprons, palms tortured almost to the consistency of burning leather? Meekness, too. we learn; for how can the spirit of mortal be proud, when her gently handled omelet falls or her Knglish paper comes back with a P , and with a barrel of red ink distributed over it. 220 A graduate of the Household Arts Course will be a well-rounded woman, capable of dealing with any situation or circumstance. She will be able to settle bills and questions of state as easily as she settles the coffee. She will keep rust from her wits as well as from her knives, cobwebs from her brain as well as from the attic, and her soul as spotless as her linen. To the end of her days she will be an intelligent, useful, attractive companion, a perfect woman, nobly planned . Evidently there arc others who think so loo. judging by the number of third linger solitaires to be found in this class. Dut if her Prince Charming delay his coming, or be sidetracked, she will not mourn in sackcloth and ashes. She has that within herself which makes for happiness—and what more noble mission than teaching the young idea how to cook. Buss E. SiiKins. 221 CHARACTERS. M. Duy M.

The education of boys is simple, my son's education I will leave to John, but I do think that the education of modem women is disastrous.

Miss Prim. “Men broad-minded enough Hem! Miss Jessof). That’s what I’m looking for.” Miss Fan Dyke. “It would distract one from one's art. Mrs. O'Dear. Can you trust the servants to sterilize the milk?” Curtain. Social events Oil Halloween the i’lebes gave a Phantom Party to the Juniors, which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended it. The Gymnasium was decorated with jack-o-lantems and silhouettes of owls, cats and witches, and the refreshments consisted of apples, nuts and cider. The effect was very ghostly after the guests arrived. The Glee Club gave an entertainment on Friday afternoon. Decent-Iter 20th to which both the Day ami Night girls were invited. Christmas Eve. in Mcrric England was the name of the little play given, and the costumes, which were copied from pictures of sixteenth century people, afforded much amusement to the audience. At present the Glee Club is preparing for a concert to be given in June. The Dramatic Club is at work on a play entitled Mr. Bob , which they expect to give before the Day and Night girls on Tuesday evening. April tli. They also expect to give another play before the end of the year. Owing to their modest nature and infrequency the social events of the Juniors merit but small space in these pages and may be disposed of briefly. There was the very informal little dance that the Clavs of '09 gave to the Class of To. merely a family affair; the more ambitious Thanksgiving Dance, marked by the presence of the sterner sex; ami the dance in March.—the one that we were not allowed to give. A very modest array, surely. You see, we were handicapped by a young and attractive faculty, and it lias the dances. Our position is that of younger sister, not yet allowed to go out for fear of interfering with older sister's chances. Still when we consider the great advantages that accrue to us from these same facts a young and attractive faculty is more satisfactory in so many ways —we sigh resignedly and allow that all is for the best, and look forward hopefully to the day when older sister will give us our chance. On January 14th, the second year Night girls gave a dance in the gymnasium for the first year girls. Yellow was the predominant color of the decorations, and one of the features of the evening was a cakewalk. the prize being a large yellow cake. On Feb. 22nd, the second year girU gave an informal dance. On May 15th, will l c given the first Junior Prom, of the M. M. C. S. This is expected to lie T 11 E social event of the season. 229 The Dramatic Club ++++ Henrietta K. Alcorn Ai.ta D. Bkymkr Martiia H. Bovard Lucy P.

Merrill 6� W„ FOOT BALL 1907 To the outsider, the football season of 1907 may not seem to have been successful. If one looks at mere scores, one might think it a failure. It is true that many games were lost, but it is also true that they were lost under trying conditions. Onk- the members of the squad know of the hardships of all-night train rides and country hotels. We had no home grounds, hence all games but one had to be played away from home. 'I'lie Lehigh game was the one exception. The season opened at Beaver Falls October 5th. where Geneva College defeated Tech 6 to o. Following this came the memorable Wup Game on the 12th of October. Few Tech men who witnessed that great struggle will ever forget how our team held their rivals to a 6—o score. Wup scored but once, and that in the first half on a duke play. In the second half the wearers of the Tartan outplayed the University boys. Westminster downed Tech on October 19th by a score of 12 to o and the week following Tech was victorious over Waynesburg College 17 to o. On November 2 Mt. Union took a fall out of our team to the tunc of 16 to o. On the 9th of November the team accompanied by a few hundred loyal students journeyed to Washington. The men played a great game but the giant W. J. team proved too powerful for us and we were defeated 26 to 0. From this point began a streak of hard luck. “Pone” Urling was stricken with typhoid and “Wink” Dowling had his wrist broken in the W. J. game. This took out our regular halfbacks. Then Capt. Henderson injured his knee and contracted illness. 256 Allegheny College won from Tech by one touchdown on the 17th of November. On the 24th of November Tech met Case School of Applied Science at Cleveland. This game was t he cleanest and fastest of the season. Our men played great football but lost by a score of 11 to o. The team had scarcely recovered from the hard game with Chase when they were pitted against Lehigh University on Thanksgiving Day in a great contest on Schcnlcy Oval. There was no admission fee charged, and fully twenty-five thousand people congregated to sec the game. Lehigh won bv a score of 22 to o. but the Tech men made them work hard for every point. Too much praise cannot be given the men individually. Capt. Henderson deserves great credit for the splendid manner in which he acted in the most trying circumstances. No matter how black things looked, or how badly Tech was beaten Scotty never gave up. The linemen, Robinson, Foster, Ramp, Hatch and W illiams were all hard workers and never gave an inch of ground to the enemy without a fight. Captain Henderson, Bcokcn and Patterson played great football as guardians of the ends of the line. At quarter we had two peerless ones. Hittner and Caldrcn. Everyone remembers Billy’s playing in the W. U. P. game and Shorty’s in the Lehigh game. Big Red” Frampton, sometimes called “Pinky was a host in himself and could hold his own against any of t lie fullbacks we met. Brown. Roura. Urling and Dowling were a formidable quartet of halfbacks and will all be in school next fall. Wink Dowling, right halfback, is captain tor 1908 and William Knox, of Yale, coach. “Buck” Thomson, the popular manager, has been re-elected and has nearly completed his schedule for the coming season.

I.yti.e, ’07. Captain ass 'ffiall 1001 -H-++ Baseball is rapidly making a reputation at Tech, each succeeding year, overshadowing the previous ones. The baseball season opened with a splendidly played game at Morgantown. YV. Va.. April 6th. 1907. Although Tech lost 3— . the fact must not be overlooked that some of our boys and even the coach had not seen one another previous to the day of the game. But under the able coaching of Mr. Wolfe. U. P. L. 04. the team quickly came to the front. Mr. Wolfe was very well liked by the team and was thoroughly capable of imparting to the boys the tine points of the game. His hard, faithful work deserves much praise and thanks from the student body. Bruce Lytle, ’08. was chosen Captain and his ability and judgment were manifested throughout the season. Much credit must also be given Harry Wills. Tech’s pitcher. It was due largely to his power as a twirier that Tech won out in 261 Guy Halferty, ’o8. Captain many a tight place. Wills is considered one of the best college pitchers in the local college world. Several of the best games on the schedule had to be cancelled on account of cold weather or rain, this being especially true of several attempts to play . J. The victory over W. U. I , was received with great enthusiasm by the student body but excitement reached its climax when our boys held State College down to a score of 3—3. after an 11 inning battle on Beaver Field. Barclay and Wills, Tech’s battery, deserve much praise and a great deal of credit for the result of the game. Of the ten games played, we won seven and lost three. Albert Colmery, 08, was chosen Manager for the 1908 Season. He is working hard and has all his dates filled, including many good trips and a great many home games. Guy 11 alfcrty, ’08. is Captain of the 1908 team. “Hal” is a close second to last year's captain and his experience and ability as seen last year gives rise to great expectations for this season. Mr. Wolfe is again coach this year and although we lack Wills we still hope that some one will turn up to make things lively for our opponents. 262 FRACK 1907 ++++ Tech made her debut into track athletics last spring and at the same time made a splendid record in this branch of athletics considering the fact that the men had no coach, no trainer. no rubl ers, and no track. Eugene Dowling. '09, Applied Science, was captain and W illiam Davis. 1909. Applied Science, manager. The season opened with a duel meet with Shadyside Academy. Tech was an easy winner by a score of 22 to i.j. The second meet was of more importance as our rival, the Western University of Pennsylvania, was met. The University boys thought we would Ik- easy and wagered that Tech would not get one first place. Captain Dowling won the two-twenty dash, the high hurdles, was second in low hurdles, and tied with Charles. '09. of Tech, for the quarter mile. Griffith. '09. won the high jump, and I’rling. ’09. the low hurdles, giving Tech five firsts. Dowling took second and Charles third in the hundred. Peeken. '09. was second in the half; Urling second in the hammer and discus, and third in the broad jump; Slioop second in the ]k 1c vault ; “Puck” Thomson was second in the mile, 'fhe score was. much to W. U. P.’s surprise 68 to 49. and although in favor of W. U. P.. really a Tech victory. 263 E. Dowling, ’09. Captain The team met the Pennsylvania State Normal School at Indiana, Penn'a, on May 30th, and pulled off an easy victory. Tech made a splendid showing' in the West Pennsylvania Intercollegiate championships. W. J. winning first, W. U. P. second. Tech third. West Va. University fourth and Marietta College fifth. Charles won the quarter mile in one of the greatest races ever seen. Dowling won the high and the low hurdles, second in the two twenty dash and third in the hundred, with Halfcrtv second. Bell was third in the quarter. Bates third in the mile. Shoop third in the | olc vault, and Griffith second in the high jump. Manager Davis was successful financially and can claim the distinction of managing the first Tech team that went through a season without money losses. “Wink Dowling was reelected captain for the 1908 season. James M. Sani| son is manager and Joseph Thompson coach. This trio arc doing all in their | owcr to put a team on tl’.e track which will bring honor and glory to Carnegie Tech. 264 Varsity Track Team of 1907 Captain Eugene Dowling Manager William Davi John S.

Bell •M-M- Cross Country Running Cross country running was inaugurated at Tech in the fall of 1907. A series of runs were held, the finals taking place Thanksgiving Day. Y. C. Bates, ‘08 was the winner; W'vlic, 1910. second, and Reed, 1910, third. These runs were a great success and that much interest was taken in them was evidenced by the large attendance at the Thanksgiving Day run. Next year an attempt will be made to put a 'Varsity team in the field and to arrange runs with other colleges. Track Team BASKET BAL� L —1908 Basket Ball, like everything: else at Tech, is very young but growing fast. Of course this sport, as all our other sports, is at some disadvantage owing to a certain lack of organization and training facilities, and yet we look with some pride at the record for the season of 1908, for considering it is only our second season we have forged a great way to the front and received much notice from tlie collegiate world. The season of 190S began on January toth when we played V. U. P.. the first game of the scries of three for the local championship, loosing by the score of 30 to 21. Continued improvement enabled us on February 21st. to beat V. L’. P. by the score of 26 to 21. In this game Captain Nettdorfer received an injury to his shoulder which put him out of the game for several weeks. After the second V. U. P. game the fellows got out of condition, partly owing to lack of practice on account of unforeseen conditions, and were not in very good shape for the last V. U. P. game which we lost 32 to 22. This year the enthusiasm displayed over basket ball was far greater than last year. So great was the student interest not only in watching but in playing, that chi teams were formed and interclass games became a feature of the practice days often drawing out large student audiences. At the big home games our students turned nut magnificently and helped the team greatly, flic last V. U. P. game drew out the largest crowd that ever watched a game of college basket ball in this city. Altogether live season was a great success. Marion Steen. -oS, managed the team and his hard work, faithfulness and ability as a manager deserve.' much credit and thanks from the students at large. SCHEDULE AND RESULTS Jan. to.....

During the winter just passed the game of hockey has not been so prominent at Carnegie Tech, as has Wen the ease in former years. The main reason for this state of affairs has been the presence of a professional league in this cits- composed of four teams made up of fast Canadian players: against whom amateur teams have but little chance in the bid for public favor. Consequently, the Duquesne Gardens, the only dependable ice skating rink in tin- city, was given oxer to the professional game, and Tech, succeeded in arranging only two games. The first game of these two � Jan. j.t was with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy. X. V.. and it may lie remarked in passing tlut Troy and Carnegie Tech, arc beginning to look forward to this hockey game as an animal event. The Tech, men had a few practice periods before this game and were in line shape with the exception of Alan Bright who was cripples! with a sore knee sustained in practice against some of the Lyceum men. This proved to be the weak point in the Tech, game because after Bright had to retire the rest of the men 'cemcd to realize what a loss this meant to the team. Troy succeeded in lauding one goal which was the only point scored during the whole game McCandless. who left school after this game, played a star game at point though he had also been hurt in practice. Lcctv at goal saved the day many times and his work was watched with interest by persons who declare he is the liest goal tender Tech, ever had. The second game was against the Western University of Pennsylvania on February 20. and Tech, won by a score of 3 0. In this game Dornbergcr was given a regular position at Cover Point to replace Cocken, who took the place of McCandless at Point. The team was otherwise the same as lx-fore, and had no trouble in defeating their opponents. Bright was able to play throughout the whole game and secured two of the goals, while Mason landed the other. These two games constituted the Tech, hockey season, but every man on the team was in the game even if it was for only a short time At the present writing every man will be in school next year so that we can expect to see a winning team. The season was formally closed on Thursday evening April 9. when the team met at the home of Gap t Charles for the purpose of electing a captain for next season. The evening was spent in a general talk about school affairs in general, and lux-key next season, in particular. Mason was elected captain for the season of tyoK-9 and was congratulated by all present. TIk meeting adjourned with a hopeful feeling on all sides regarding the games to he played the coming season. 27O Hockey Team Carnegie Tech Productions Thousands of men arc in training at Tech. Why? Six Million Dollars arc invested in Tech. Why? Andrew Carnegie founded this Tech. Why? R. T. Crane, of Chicago, applied the name “Mistake to Tech. Why? w HE above four questions arc reasonable and not difficult to answer and yet I doubt, if answers were received from all the men in training, whether two sets would coincide. Working eight or ten hours during the day for six days in the week and going to school for three hours, four or five nights per week, and grinding in still more on Saturday and Sunday is the usual routine of existence for more than one man in that crowd known as “Moonshiners . Vet. every one of these has some particular reason for doing it. Every one has his own ideas regarding the time invested at Tech, the investment of Six Million Dollars, the reason for foundation of the schools, and last but not least, the state of anyone's mind who would call a venture of this kind a mistake. Andrew Carnegie had a reason for investing this money and R. T. Crane had a reason for calling it a mistake. Whether it is a step forward or backward depends on the present and future actions of the student body now in training and others to come. For generations past, education has always been looked up to, which is proper, but those having the education invariably look down on those who through unfortunate circumstances have been neglected. Fellow students of Tech, you have all thought of these four questions and you all have a ready answer, cither, Benefit One or Benefit All. 272 Arc wc going to use our education to elevate ourselves only, or are we going to clc atc ourselves and the more unfortunate beings that also go to make up our race. When our diplomas are granted, arc wc going to bring or try to bring our (not my) standards of existence to a higher level or arc wc going to worship the supreme power which reigns throughout our territories today, the Almighty $? Are wc going to develop into that type of men who will answer “God only knows , when questioned by suffering humanity what a man shall do if he wants work and cannot get it or will wc. in time, become white men who know the value of dependence and output of human labor and not use our education for sucking the last atom of soul from the bodies of the unfortunate. We all respond readily to the call of Tech, to the Red. Yellow, Green and Blue, but let us show that the true color under all this polish is WWTK. LC. C. D.. 1910.

When school days come early in youth, But when later the mind’s rather rusty, Then searching for facts and for truth Makes the entrance of knowledge reluctant. And brain work provokingly slow. And through the mind ramble ideas. Unlike those one wishes to know. And how hard it is to remember, That with younger minds one must cope. In English, Economics and Writing. And Spelling which drives away ho| c. Then there's law, and there's tiresome delating; Both planting in memory new seed. While stenography’s signs keep one struggling.
