In looking back over the events of the past year, we find that the spirit pervading the whole atmosphere of the schools may be briefly expressed by one word, growth—growth in numbers, in ideals, in prestige, and in influence. 'And yet, as an institution, we arc still in our youth, and youth carries with it the idea of health, energy, vigor and buoyancy. We have not yet learned to look toward the past, for the future holds before us brighter visions and fairer prospects. One of the most encouraging signs has been the growth among the students of the spirit of loyalty and devotion to the Alma Mater. It has been the aim of the Thistle Hoard in preparing this volume to develop and foster this spirit by presenting a more or less complete record of those events and happenings which, aside from the regular routine of work and study, constitute a large part of what is pleasant and profitable in college life. If, in your opinion, we have fallen short of our aim, or if the book presents to your eyes certain crudities and inconsistencies, remember that youth is the age of awkwardness and imperfection, and that time will add to the strength and vigor and impulsiveness of youth the settled poise and finished grace of perfect maturity. The Thistle Board. 254510 New York, March 30, 1909. Dear Mr. Editor: I wish to tender my congratulations upon the continued success of the Technical Schools. Several competent judges who have visited them have expressed the highest admiration for all that they saw there. Your reputation will soon become not only national but international. Two visitors from abroad have called to tell me that you already occupy high rank. Keep steadily marching forward, and pray remember me to all your scholars, who are in after life to look back with intense gratitude to the teachers who are giving them such a splendid start. Always very truly yours, Andrew Carnegie. April 16th, 1909. TO THE STUDENTS: Another school year has left its tale of achievements to record in the “Thistle.” The development of the buildings I am sure, with their remarkable facilities for instruction, has been watched with great interest. In a few weeks the new athletic field will be available for out-door life. The present year has seen an increase in the student enrollment, an increase in the faculties, and a continued growth in educational activities. It is a pleasure to record progress. It is a source of gratification to feel that this development has been participated in by the interest and support of the community. More than all this, your Director feels a deep and abiding sense of appreciation that he has been a part of this movement. The appointment to the separate faculties of the four Schools, of executive deans and the growth of organized student activities, are the memorable events of the year. That which is most important to me in my connection with this institution is the continued growth of my personal friendships with the Faculty and Students. This relationship is the lever by which it is possible to knit learning and living; and whenever these two separate, you can be sure something is wrong. This institution stands for the combination. Count me one of the men who is ardently advocating this union, and each student who joins in the same effort does his share to acquire a useful education. This is what makes the Carnegie Technical Schools a vital element in the educational movement of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a factor for a better civilization in the city of Pittsburgh. The first graduates have entered upon their careers. In the “Thistle” I hope to find an annual record of their achievements, which will serve as an inspiration to the under-graduates and stimulate the Faculties to renewed exertion. Our happiness would be complete if Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie could visit us. Next to this wish comes our gratification in the receipt of a message from them. ARTHUR A. HAMERSCHLAG. To Arthur Arton Hamerschlag whose unceasing energy and untiring zeal has moulded the policies and shaped the destinies of the Carnegie Technical Schools since their foundation This Book Is Respectfully Dedicated ARTHUR ARTOX IIAMERSOHLAC Director ARTHUR ARTON HAMERSCHLAG, Sc.D. ARTHUR ARTON HAMERSCHLAG. Director of the Carnegie Technical Schools, was born in Nebraska in 1867. Doctor Hamcrschlag assumed the Directorship of the Schools at the time of their foundation in 1903. coining from St. George’s Evening Trade School in New York, of which he had been superintendent for eleven years. From 1892 he was occupied as consulting engineer and instructor at the New York Trade School, the Bethany Mission School, Phillips Memorial School, the Boys’ Preparatory Trade School, New York, and Highland Falls (X. Y.) Evening Trade School, etc., until 1904, when he began to devote his entire time to the upbuilding and organization of the Carnegie Technical Schools. In addition to his work as instructor, he carried on in New York an independent practice as consulting electrical and mechanical engineer for numerous corporations and industries. From 1888 until 1892 he served in field work in Cuba, Mexico and various parts of the United States. Doctor Hamcrschlag is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Pittsburgh Board of Trade. He is also a member of the following clubs: Duquesne, Crucible, Pittsburg Press, Junta and the Pittsburg Country. Director Hamcrschlag is the author of numerous scientific pamphlets and magazine articles, and has also written several valuable text books which are very widely used. 11 is early training was had in the public schools of Omaha and New York, and his advanced education under various tutors and at Lehigh University. The honorary degree of Doctor of Science was conferred upon him by his Alma Mater and-the Western University of Pennsylvania in 1907 One of the most important events in the life of the man was his marriage, in December, 1901, to Miss Elizabeth Ann Tollast, of New York. To his broadminded, sympathetic, keen-sighted, intellectual helpmeet, Director Hamcrschlag owes much of his success. With her unerring intuition she has reached the solution of problems, which, at first glance, required much of a man’s judgment and discernment, and to her ready sympathy and womanliness, the girls of the Margaret Morrison School are indebted for many of their privileges and opportunities. Perhaps the most striking feature of the man as well as the most characteristic, is his immense amount of mental and physical energy. His ability to stand the hardest and most difficult work for the longest number of hours is phenomenal, and this, coupled with his ability to concentrate his mind upon the immediate task, enables him to accomplish an unusual amount of work. Tic brings, to any problem on hand, a unique point of view, absolutely untrammelled by convention. What has been done has no value to him except on its own merits. Another quality of mind which requires more than passing attention, is his largeness of ideas. He does not think in small numbers, but is content to state the general principles involved and leave the working out of the details to others. A natural talent, coupled with a wonderful gift of insight, sound judgment, and a remarkable tenacity of purpose in tying to and fighting for an idea, has enabled him to overcome many difficulties, which he now considers his good fortune to have come in contact with. As a lad lie developed an inquiring turn of mind—a spirit of investigation to seek out the truth which instilled in him a hatred of sham and expediency. “Do it because it is right” is his motto. 1 lis creed is Work and again Work. I le is always ready to fight for a principle, and it is a characteristic of him that he knows how to laugh when fighting hardest. His disposition is such that he radiates good cheer and sunshine wherever he goes. He is generous to a fault, and never so happy as when giving another enjoyment. To so positive and masculine an individual, the term “lovable is not usually applied, but it is distinctly appropriate in his case. He has the capacity of inspiring in his stall loyalty and devotion to an unusual extent. He is generous in his thought for others, but frank in the statement of his opinions, and does not mince matters in dealing with a person whom he thinks is at fault. His sympathy for those in trouble is unbounded. After an analysis of separate qualities has been made, there remains to consider that somewhat intangible yet very real thing which we call personality. This he has to a remarkable degree. To the individual he makes a distinct appeal and impression; his magnetism is wonderful: in any assembly his presence is felt, and all this comes, not as a result of his position, but because of the personality of the man.

If in years to come, what appears in this hook shall serve to bring back pleasant memories of college life and help to keep alive a true loyalty for our Alma Mater, its purpose is accomplished, and we shall feel w ell paid for what we have done to make this volume of The Thistle the “best yet.” We go forth to meet success, defeat, joy and sorrow. “In happiness, may this hook rejoice with us; in sorrow, help to recall that happiness which we once knew.” JOHN II. LEETK, A.8. Dean of the School of Applied Science SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE THE Day School of Applied Science was the first of the Carnegie Technical Schools to be opened to students. On the opening day, October 15, 1905, 122 students enrolled, of whom 60 were graduated last year. On November 20th of the same year the School opened its doors to night students and 148 young men enrolled in the various engineering courses, a large number of whom are still in attendance. 'Fhc School was quartered in the buildings designed for the School for Apprentices and Journeymen. These buildings were then not completely finished, but in such condition as to offer accommodations of a rather primitive order. The tales told by the charter members of the faculty and student body about the difficulties met and the obstacles overcome would make interesting reading. These conditions served, however, to knit together the faculty and students in the close lies to which those who followed after fall heir. The Department of Mechanical Engineering was the first to leave the shelter of the Trade School building. In 1907 Machinery Hall was completed and the instruction in Mechanical Engineering has since been given in that building. The Department of Machine Design was also quartered in Machinery Hall for one year. The corner stone of the new Science buildings, the permanent home of the Engineering School, was laid by the Class of 1908 during their Commencement Week. Throughout the present year the departments have been moving to their new quarters, and the close of the year will sec all departments settled in permanent quarters for the first time since the opening of the School. The new buildings are admirably adapted to their purposes, and will doubtless serve to increase the efficiency of the work and to strengthen the spirit and morale of the School. In addition to recitation rooms, spacious laboratories and drawing rooms, the buildings contain two lecture rooms with inclined floors, each seating 300, and two small lecture rooms, each accommodating 100 students. The latter are designed particularly for the use of the Chemistry, Electrical and Physics Departments, and are fully equipped for demonstration purposes. The number of students now enrolled in the School is 784. about equally divided between the Day and Night Classes. The growth has been steady throughout the four years in spite of considerable advances in the entrance requirements rendered necessary by changing conditions, flic territory from which the Night Classes must draw their students is necessarily limited to districts which are reasonably accessible, because of the fact that the students are without exception engaged in work during the day. The history of the School shows, however, many instances of students attracted to the Pittsburg district by the oppor- � 5 Utilities offered in the Night Classes. The Day School has a large field from which to draw, and in the present enrollment is represented a considerable range of territory. In the present student body are residents of 24 states and 13 foreign countries. The School now offers courses in Mechanical, Civil. Electrical. Chemical, Metallurgical, and Mining Engineering, in all of which students are enrolled in both the Day and Night Classes. In these courses it is aimed to give thorough training in the technical branches necessary for successful work in the various fields and in addition the effort is made to develop creative ability and the quality of resourcefulness which should make the training productive. Another distinctive feature of the work of the School is the care which is taken to direct the work of the student along the lines for which he shows the greatest natural aptitude, for it is only by giving the right boy training in the proper direction that the ideal of the School can be fulfilled. Another feature that has attracted some attention is the inclusion of lectures upon subjects of general educational value. The demands of an engineering course prevent any considerable time being given to subjects not closely related to the course of study, but the necessity of some knowledge of topics fundamental to any educational training is equally imperative. To meet these conditions courses of lectures delivered to the classes as a whole have been devised. The coming year will sec the establishment of a new course, that in Commercial Engineering, which purposes to train young men for the business rather than the purely technical side of engineering. The need for such a course has long been felt in industrial circles, and in being among the first to organize such a course the Carnegie Technical Schools have but responded to the demands of the industrial life of their environment. 16 osimina aoNaios ciana.iY hh.l SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE FACULTY.

Kemp Browne before the American Institute of Will-be Engineers at their last annual meeting. Mr. Chair fiKin and G antic men:—In preparing this paper I have endeavored to present a scientific explanation of the treatment and processes through which the material we are considering is passed in the course of being made into a marketable product. ()n some points in the process I am forced to be rather indefinite as secret processes are involved and no one seems to understand the reason for their use. We will first consider the raw material and then trace it through to its present stage of being bulled and made ready for shipment. The main consignment of raw material arrived at the plant from various sources on September 19, 1906. The preliminary treatment is one of crushing, classification and refining. Considerable difficulty was experienced in preventing congestion and contamination from the old material in stock but under the guidance of Mr. Pete Adams this was avoided. For convenience in handling, the material was divided into eight sections and sent directly into the refining department. Here it went through a series of lectures, where it was metamorphosed, evolved, and after having been made into the nebular state, was given the “right of contract. The treatment after it left the refining department was preliminary to the first classification which took place in June. Among these may be mentioned the Strength of Materials and “Personality” treatments. The object of the first mentioned is to ascertain the resistance of the material to such action as Stress-strain diagrams and a complete cycle of jokes. In the Personality vat. the object sought is to imbue the young, responsive and undeveloped mind with a full appreciation of the value of magnetism, personal and otherwise. The bath used in this vat, as near as the author could ascertain, was of the following composition: Resistance. 51.1 '• Force of Character, 40; Lines of Force, 7.2; Watts, 1.7 When the material was placed in this vat, considerable difficulty was experienced because of the fact that some of the material had previously received a positive charge. 29 At about this time it was decided that “1909” should assemble at Hotel Lincoln to test the culinary abilities of that establishment. This was bitterly opposed by “1908 ’ but their efforts were of no avail, as Mr. Exline, president of the class, and other officers and speakers, successfully declined the invitation of some of the members of 1908” to an automobile ride in the park on the night of the banquet. In the latter part of December, 1906, and in the spring of 1907, all the material was passed through the painful process of concentration. The material was assembled in the Concentrating Department and exposed for several hours each day to the crushing effect of examinations. This method of concentration has been in use by similar plants for some time, but there is considerable discussion regarding its merits as compared to other more modern methods. It has the effect of reducing the material to a state of nervous exhaustion and in this condition it does not make the best showing. After this treatment it was found that a fair percentage of material was ready for the main division into Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Metallurgical and Chemical departments. In September, 1907, these departments began operation. In the Mechanical department the material received a treatment of superheated steam, which enabled it to observe lines where they were not and to become entangled in complicated gears. The material sent to the Civil department was first subjected to a grinding “yust so fine,” then allowed to “set,” and afterwards tested by the Hokanson method for determining the amount of knowledge absorbed. From here it was sent to the Structural department where any soul left in it was removed and killed and the soulless material was bolstered up with struts, plate-girders and I-beams. The consignment to the Electrical department was first run through the ohm-sifter to remove the shiftless from the wattless material. Next, in order to guard against the epidemic of hysteresis, the power factor was employed. After this the material was ready to be saturated with electrical knowledge as shown by the saturation curves sent out from the registrar's office. The Metallurgical and Chemical material was first dissolved and then treated with Physical Chemistry and the Cryohydric Point determined. After this it was crystalized into the isometric system, then re-dissolved, and in the Spring of 1908 Chemists were precipitated from the Metallurgists. The former was then prepared according to the most modern methods, using 1 10 Benzoate of Soda. The latter material was first assayed and then classified as ferrous and non-ferrous. The various methods of leaching and smelting were employed from time to time to extract the knowledge content and gave a fair recovery, especially when considerable reference reading was included in the charge. Besides the regular routine, as outlined above, may be mentioned the function known as the “Junior Prom” on February 28, 1908, and previous to this, on November 12, there was some difficulty caused by the attempt of some of the raw material of “1910” shipment to hold a banquet. Owing, however, to the perfect 30 organization of “1909” the more active promoters of this scheme were removed from the scene of action. In the present stage of the process there is much special work being clone. The material from the Civil department has been riveted and painted and provided with means of exterminating the festive germ, while that from the Mechanical department has been made to produce wonderful types of machines hitherto unknown. The material from the Electrical department has had its frequency greatly increased and shows a tendency to synchronize with its surroundings When examined under the microscope, the Metallurgical material shows a Eu-lictic of Basic Facts and Original Theories. This is best brought out by etching with a mixture of concentration methods. The material from the chemical department is reported as 99.99? pure and belonging to the saturated scries. Altogether the indications are that the finished product in June will be superior to any other on the market and this will demonstrate the practical working of the system employed at this plant. With the hope that there will be a ready market for the complete output, I thank you for your attention. SENIOR CLASS 1909 Harry S. Anderson. Age 19. Kid” .... Pittsburg, Pa.

It reminds us of statesmanship, bravery, valor, and heroism. The present task, however, is not to dwell upon the achievements of Alexander, Cscsar, Napoleon or Washington, but to relate a few instances in connection with a body of students who arc aiming to aid in making the future industrial history of our country. In short, we arc to briefly review some of the more important incidents pertaining to the Class of 1910. The opening of school in September found us a class of about fifty members, a large number of our former classmates being destined to constitute the Sophomore Class. As for President, we were fortunate in having our Plebe chief with us. Despite the fact that he had a good position, the chief duty of which was to travel the streets of Pittsburg accompanied by a satchel taking the pennies from gum machines, he had severed his business relations and returned to school. The year’s work started in the usual manner. The chief events of the first week were in connection with the class contests, but we must let the Sophomores tell that story. The second week was broken in upon by the Sesqui-Centcnnial celebration. Many members of our class joined in the parade and helped make a showing for Tech. They made by far the best showing when the manna descended during a halt on the Courthouse hill—thanks to the generous spectators who viewed the parade from the Carnegie Ihiilding. During the week following the celebration of Father Pitt's birthday, we became fully aware of the fact that school had begun in earnest and that it was up to us to exercise our gray matter. In addition to the regular schedule, we were booked for two hours of German a week, and, taking all in all. it looked as though we were up against the real thing. Several of our number deemed it wise to cast their lots with the Sophomores and as a result our membership was considerably diminished. Having thus settled down to work, we proceeded to reorganize our class and the first election resulted as follows: President, R. B. Coldren, Vice-President, R. L. Smith, Secretary, C. F. Borschneck, Treasurer, II. P. Mason. A series of class meetings followed and the characteristic outbursts of oratory would have aroused the envy of Demosthenes. Put time has proven that they were only rehearsals, preliminary to the campaign accompanying the recent city elections. 51 CHEMISTS, METALLURGISTS AND MINERS Day Junior Clut 2K Fearing lest we become too weary from overwork (?), Fate favored us with a diversion in the form of Knabcnslnie, the airship man, who pitched his tent at our door and remained with us for a week. Ilad the instructors chosen to call their rolls in his vicinity, the Registrar would have been saved much trouble in recording “cuts.” Several of our number would thus have later avoided the anxiety of knowing that their cut records had exceeded the “elastic limit” and were fast approaching the “point of fracture.” Soon after the Physics Department had sent a representative on an rerial trip over our city, the ship “passed from our midst” and the following week quizzes reminded us of our past diversion. Following the departure of our benefactor, Knabenshue, came several weeks of uninterrupted work. Along with the regular routine came instances that afforded many a hearty laugh. Wasson was accused of being the married employee of the Commons and to clear himself from the unjust charge, found it necessary to assure his friends, through the Tartan, that he was still single. Although Mr. Smith succeeded admirably in demonstrating the “beauty” of calculus, he found it hard to convince himself that Light was not “Mr. Lord.” One day Taggart was found pondering over a Heat experiment, the particular trouble being that he could not get a vacuum at atmospheric pressure and zero ccntrigrade. Miyasaki succeeded in giving a successful demonstration-of the explosive power of hydrogen. An eventful day was December second. In the early afternoon the classes in Chemistry, Metallurgy and Mining Engineering attended the opening of the new Testing Station for the Investigation of Mine Explosions, located on the Arsenal grounds at Fortieth and Butler streets. Desiring to reach the Arsenal on the same day, we decided to go via the B. O. (tracks) instead of traveling on a Bloomfield car. After a tine demonstration of cross-country running, we found ourselves at our destination, where we witnessed several very interesting experiments. An event of far greater importance was scheduled for the latter part of the afternoon, however, and so we did not tarry to take in all the demonstrations, but hied ourselves back to Tech Ball Park. The football game between the Chemists, Miners and Metallurgists and the Mechanicals was to be played. According to Smith, the official reporter, “the game was a good one throughout and afforded much exciting and sensational work on both sides.” The special stars for the Mechanicals were “Burgic,” Barrett, Hartman and Barclay, while Barton, Young and Taggart starred for the CO2 side. The feature of the game was Seldon’s long, sure punting. Much credit is due both coaches, Xaismith and Coldrcn, for the skill displayed. The score was, Enginewipcrs 30, Bottlewashers 5. The next period of special interest ( ?) was the week of exams at the close of the fall term. Many were the Juniors that wondered what the Sophomore schedule for the winter term would be, but, despite our hardships, we all looked forward to the holiday vacation with anticipations of good times, and on December eighteenth, forgetting our flunks, we scattered to our various homes to realize our hopes and expectations. 53 JUNIOR CIVII.S Day Class- JUNIOR ELECTRICALS Day Class On January fourth, the winter term opened. The first day was taken up in hand-shaking and the second in exploring the new Science Building, to which several of the departments had moved during vacation. But a few days found things moving as usual, with now and then a diversion such as the highway robbery that occurred when Xcel was carrying several boxes of pies to his classmates in the Chemistry Laboratory. All that he could show for his purchase was a few crumbs on his lips, indicating how nobly he had defended—his own piece. Soon after the opening of the term a class meeting was called for the election of officers to serve during the winter term. The vote of the class resulted as follows: President, R. W. Light, Vice-President, F. H. Stevenson, Secretary, E. B. Taggart, Treasurer, Wm. Buiil. The next event which attracted the special attention of the student body was the campaign previous to the city election. Many rallied to the support of the Civic Party and bedecked the lapels of their coats with buttons bearing the picture of the Civic candidate for mayor. One evening a parade was formed and a body of students marched to the Civic headquarters where several political speeches were heard. Joe Roura constituted the cheering section and did not yell “keg party either. But speaking of politics, it may be said that the center of interest was the one who made himself so famous for his oratory in class meetings. And lie won. Three cheers for School Director Xaismith! The last but far from the least of the events of the season was the Junior From. For weeks it had been the general topic of conversation. The evening of February twenty-second was chosen as the day, and the Rittenhouse the place for what proved to be one of the most brilliant and enjoyable affairs ever given. On the following day a large number of students were strangely conspicuous by their absence as a result of the evening’s jollity. As the close of the year draws nearer, we find our class more firmly bound together by ties that have been strengthened during the past few months. May loyalty to School and Class continue to grow and may we do our best for the honor of C. T. S. and Nineteen Hundred and Ten. 55 JUNIOR MKCHANICAI.S Day Class NIGHT JUNIOR CLASS 1910 J. W.

HISTORY OF THE NIGHT JUNIOR CLASS AT the plea of Mr. Carnegie, the founder of our institution, which is destined to cast down the castles of ignorance and in a few years hold its sway in the minds of a multitude, I)r. Hamerschlag announced, in 1905, to a band of youth, about a thousand strong, that out of their number he wished to choose a class of young men to represent the night classes in years to follow. By means of a series of examinations and a personal interview, the proper number of candidates were chosen to represent the Night Class of 1910. Almost four years have passed since then. The events of the first three years have been recorded in Yols. 1, 2 and 3 of The Thistle, and as 1 have been chosen historian for this year, bear with me in the following: Picture a class of young men in whose eyes flashed the fire of the Celts, the Britons, the Gauls and the Normans, and in whose veins coursed the blood that moved the Fathers of the Revolution. Some came from the busy hum of the mills in the valleys, others from the steady grind of the office or store; but all with strength of character, some natural ability, and mental power stamped upon the countenance. Such was our class as they assembled for the Fall term of 1908. Our class officers were elected early in the year. Our retiring president, guided by his training of the previous year, hastened the time when the responsibilities of the office should be shifted from his shoulders. I shall not tell of the election and those elected—but we all know that the measure of privilege is also the measure of responsibility. In spite of the fact that the work of this year has been heavier than during previous years, entailing as it does the attendance at lectures and laboratory research four nights per week, with a limited amount of time for preparation and making out reports, we realized that as the pioneer class of the Night School we must necessarily regard our careers seriously. The class knew that its actions would tend to establish precedents and it has risen to this duty and has closely identified itself with all the various activities which go to make up “School Life” at Carnegie Tech. That the class is not devoid of dramatic talent is evinced by its representation in the ranks of the White Friars, the famous exponents of the drama. Nineteen hundred and ten, Night, in addition to being represented in the cast and chorus of the White Friars also has the honor of having a member on the Board of Governors. In the musical organizations the class has maintained a commanding supremacy during the entire four years of its existence—at one time having one- 59 JUNIOR CIVILS Night Class JUNIOR MECHANICALS Night Class JUNIOR ELECTRICALS Night Class fifth the total membership of the combined clubs and having at one time or other a 1910 Night man in every important office of the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, from the president to the leader, both of which positions, together with that of secretary and treasurer, are filled at present by members of our class. Much of the success of this department of Tech's varied school life is due to the interest and influence of 1910 Night men, whose devotion to the cause does honor to us all. Independence of thought and action has been one of the most marked characteristics of the class. We have, as a class, always shown that we can do our own thinking, taking very little for granted, and when anything which affects our interests is up for discussion we have proven that we arc able to take care of ourselves and secure what we believed to be our dues. It is not surprising, therefore, that when plans for the Junior Prom, were being formulated and the Night Juniors, were being left out of the reckoning, our president should, with characteristic energy, inaugurate an investigation. This resulted in not only the securing of social recognition and establishing a precedent for those who may follow us, but also completely disseminated the clouds of doubt which seemed to enshroud our standing in the schools and secured for 11s official recognition as the Night Junior Class. Only those who were able to share the pleasures of this social affair can appreciate its full significance. We arc largely the makers of our own destiny and many of the Night School precedents have been originated by us. In this we have tried to think not only of ourselves, but also of those who will be more or less bound by these precedents. It is a matter of pride that we have thus been honored. May the Class of 1910, Night, always be a worthy example for others to follow. E. M. George, Historian. 62 CHEMISTS AND METALLURGISTS Junior Night Class President FIRST TERM H. J. McCorkle.

Historian Ritchie Lawrie, Jr. HISTORY FRIDAY7, October ninth, 1908, will be a day long remembered by many, for it was then that the first Sophomore Class of the School of Applied Science was organized. The class of 1910 (of which nearly all of us were members) was destined, by the sanction of the Faculty, to be divided into two parts, one the Tri-Junior and the other the Sophomores. This marked the beginning of the four-year course. Only those students whom the Faculty believed capable of withstanding the terrible grind, grind, grind of the three-year course, were permitted to enter the Tri-Junior Class. As a result, they at once became very select—the Sophomores having quite a majority. The parting was sad, for we realized what our former classmates were undertaking. We tried in vain to persuade them to stay with us, and thus keep at a safe distance from the “grind-mill” (the three-year course), but they were very ambitious and wanted to gain much honor and glory. But many have returned, and now only a few remain to tell of the woes and sufferings of the Tri-Juniors. After all the farewell speeches, lamentations and wailings were over the first officers of the Soph mo re Class were elected. At this critical point in our development a real leader was needed, a man who could mould into shape a class 64 organization which would withstand the action of time, and so it happened that we very wisely chose as president H. J. McCorklc, a bright and ambitious youth from Texas. “Mac” managed the class affairs so well that by the end of his term everything was in good condition again. “Texas” was popular, not only with his classmates, but also with the Plebes, who became so fond of him that on one occasion they forced him to accept an invitation to spend the evening with them, at their class feed. It was also very important that the president should have a good assistant, and so E. R. Roots was elected vice president. It was at this time that “Booty” received his training, and by the next election had advanced so rapidly and gained so much wisdom in class politics, that lie was chosen president. The office of secretary requires a man who can neatly write the nominations for the election on the blackboard. Because of his ability in handwriting Reuben II. Horton, who for some reason always signs his name R. Ilarland Horton, was elected class scribbler. Secretary Horton served with an ardent sense of duty, and was present at the following election to post the nominations. Horton, being an exceedingly bright chap, and having little to do. quickly developed the art of bulldozing for amusement. It is said that at one time he formed some kind of a fake combine and financed it so gloriously that he cleared all kinds of money from a few unsuspecting students (probably Plebes). His financial ability was so well developed that at the next election lie was elected treasurer of the class. Here he has served faithfully, but as yet his books have not been audited, and from recent developments in local banks you never can tell. When a man has been elected treasurer of a class four consecutive terms it naturally throws much credit upon him. Not a more conscientious, upright and trustworthy fellow can be found than R. S. Wagner, better known as “Husky.” Besides being a good treasurer, “Husky” can play football—starring at center last year. Because of his ability as treasurer and as a football player, he was elected vice president for the winter term. R. L. Smith was chosen to fill the position of secretary, left vacant by R. H. Horton's promotion to the treasurer-ship. Smith has had considerable college experience, but as secretary he has not yet been tried, for his time comes at the next election, posting the nominations. There are many other men in the class deserving mention, stars in hockey, baseball, basketball, the White Friars’ Club, the Glee and Mandolin Clubs and all other student activities. Every day the Sophomore Class is helping, with might and main to make the name of Tech famous throughout the land. 65 SOPHOMORE CLASS THIRD YEAR NIGHT CLASS (1911) President C. L. Fisc hick.

Gump. 67 CHRONICLE OF 1911-NIGHT CLASS THE Class of 1911, Night, may justly be proud of its record in everything Carnegie Teclnvise. Starting out in the Fall of 1906 with a large number of students, we find at the close of the term of 1909 a goodly number still in attendance and as enthusiastic over their work at Tech as when they commenced their course three years ago. During the first two years a number of students had to give up. In most instances their withdrawal was involuntary, and was imperative by reason of employment being lessened; others who still held positions were often unable to regularly attend; and still others were not able, physically, to carry on their work. The class now contains the students who will probably graduate—barring circumstances over which they have no reasonable control. Nineteen hundred eleven has always taken an active interest in all school organizations and has contributed liberally to the maintenance of the same. Its members have always been true and loyal to their school and class, and were the first to publicly resent the declaration of a “knocker” from the West. The class has had an active organization ever since its inception. Its officers arc usually elected the first night of the school year. The social side has never failed to interest; and banquets, smokers, and entertainments of different kinds have always been well attended. The informal banquet held at “Donegal’s Inn” on Saturday night, March 13th, was a success in spite of the traditional unlucky “13.” The only unlucky part was that “12 (midnight) came after “13,” and that ushered in Sunday morning, when the festivities came to a close. But a jolly good time was had all around, and the fact was borne out that— “It’s always fair weather. When good fellows get together.” At the beginning of this school year the class was divided into sections for specialization. Those taking the Civil Engineering course number five; the Electrical Engineering course, nine; the Chemical and Metallurgical courses, eight; and the Mechanical Engineering course, seventeen.

All the Plebes ducked across the Schenley bridge with haunted looks as though it was St. Peter, instead of the fatherly Sophs, looking for them. This feeling was increased by large posters, headed with a skull and crossbones, one of which was handed to each Plcbc as he entered the building. It stated that the Plebes should show respect for the old age and infirmities of the upper classmen. Order was soon brought out of chaos by the first class meeting, when we were addressed by several of the would-be orators of the upper classes. Coldren and Buhl of the Juniors gave some fatherly advice and dwelt upon the great love they had for the lambs ’ Buhl gently broke the news that we were invited to a little tetc a tete on the Schenley oval on Thursday. There were to be three separate contests: a tug of war, a push ball game, and a flag rush. 70 Then the Plebes awoke and got busy. Scotty Henderson was elected president and Billy l littncr, vice president. Then we planned the fight that resulted in the inglorious defeat of the Sophomores on Clan Day—perhaps better known to them afterward as “Tin Can Day.” The Sophomores showed their kindness in many ways, especially by directing the wanderers all over the building to find some place of torture such as “Hoky’s” Lab. They even asked the Plebe president out to dinner and entertained him for a whole day before the “events.” The fateful day arrived. Long before the time set for the doings the Plebes began to arrive. A long procession was formed at the entrance to the schools and they marched to the oval. At first it seemed as tho they had scared the Sophomores out, but the enemy finally appeared and the program began. The first great calamity that befell them was the tug of war. The Plebes walked away with one end of the rope, but the other end had thoughtlessly been tangled around an iron post buried in the ground. Of course, if the rope hadn't stretched, well------! The second event was the push ball contest. There wasn’t anything to tie the ball to, and so the Plebes. modestly, of course, took in another victory. About this time Henderson appeared on the scene. His hosts of the past day had been so kind as to lend him a new suit, with stripes in the prevailing fashion. A few small trinkets, such as wrist and ankle ornaments, were also donated. Somehow, the combination to the bracelets and necklace had been lost, and they had to be taken off by a few gentle taps with a sledge hammer. As a last resort, our kind entertainers hung a llag up on a pole, and gave us five minutes to get it down. The flag proved quite safe, and it even took the Sophomores ten minutes to take it down, after the fight. They then invited us to the refreshments, and the way those sandwiches and pickles disappeared was marvelous. Since that day the badge of the Plebe Class has been a convict cap, and the password. “Wasn’t it lucky the rope stretched?” At a later meeting of the class the temporary officers, elected at the first of the year, were re-elected for the Fall term. About this time whispers could be heard, such as, “Where is it going to be—Kurz’s or the Schenley?” They were talking about the annual Plebe banquet. It was planned many weeks ahead, and the Sophs never “got wise,” so the officers of the class were not invited to any house parties this time, but, instead, the Soph president was the victim. It was such a hard blow to Mac that he hasn’t lost that mortified look yet. Since the banquet we have been plodding along in the footsteps of our predecessors. A few snowball fights have marred our peaceful time; of these, the only one to furnish particular excitement was the one in which “Gov.” Stone, the man from Texas, grew so warm that it took a whole pail of water to cool him. As a whole the class of 1912 has been a great success. It has shown class spirit and enterprise in its athletic teams, and in all of its activities it has shown that it is worthy of, and proud of, its Alma Mater.

This road was about three miles long, and was used to convey the products of the mill to Newtonburg, where it made connections with one of the great arteries of commerce. To properly conduct the business of this road a corporation was formed, carrying the very suggestive name of The Whiskey Run R. R. Co. Knowing that it was customary for the various R. R. Companies to give complimentary passes to the officials of other roads, the President of the Whiskey Run R. R. Co., an Englishman, called upon the leading official of the I . R. R. Co., introduced himself as the President of a sister road and suggested an exchange of passes. Strange to say, the Whiskey Run R. R. Co. did not appear in the R. R. directory, and questioning elicited the facts of its location and size, as given above. “Why, man,” said the Great Mogul of the P. R. R., “we never heard of your road before. We couldn't give passes to the officials of a little road like that.” “Well, said the Englishman in his characteristic drawl, “my road may not be as long as yours, but it's just as wide” So with the history of 1912, Night, during the past year, for while it has not spread itself all over Carnegie Tech with a smear of lurid crimson, there has emanated from it an atmosphere which has caused the reflection that “still water runs deep.” And now, at the close of our second year, as we pause for retrospection, we see vacant places in the line. “Our fate is the common fate of all, but as the inevitable comes and our soldiers fall by the wayside, the ranks close in and present a still unbroken phalanx, while the class of 1912, with undaunted spirit, untiring energy and unbounded enthusiasm marches on with a steady tramp toward that somewhat distant goal. Of course, one of the first class duties of the year was to teach the “young ’uns” how to walk. They had heard of 11s and our mighty prowess, of our great struggle of the year before, when the ambitious spirits of 1911 failed to drag our colors in the dust. So they waited with fear and trembling. They're a nice looking, well dressed bunch of “kids, as a rule, but otic night they looked like a gang of Weary Willies, just in from Missouri. Of course, that gave the whole thing dead away, and everybody knew that the “Hoodoos” intended to have a meeting. Mark you, “intended to have.” About two-thirds of the '12 class went home, but our good old “Faithful Guard” stood where the battlemented ramparts of the 74 'i3's were supposed to be. There was no meeting, for as soon as 1912 walked in, 1913 walked out. Forgetting the history of a previous Thanksgiving, these “Kidlets” had the nerve to meet us on the gridiron. They say they would have won, if—it had not been for the Hoodoo. I11 December came the class election, and with it a season of politics, which would have made ‘‘Boss Crokcr and Tammany Hair’ look like a shadow. But you can’t keep down the Irish; the election was warm, and when the ballots were counted W. B. McCreery was declared President, and everybody is satisfied, even the opposition. The new administration went right to work, and as soon as we were back from vacation, the Social Committee had plans for a Smoker all “cut and dried.” A 1912 Smoker—all the boys know what that means. Faculty? Well, you scarcely would have guessed that jolly faced fellow who pulled so hard on an old corn cob, with a “forced draft,” was Director Hamer-sell lag. And if one looked a little further one might have seen Mr. Leete and Mr. Connellcy. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs were there, and they earned their “smokins.” Finch, in the Living Statue,”made the hit of the evening; Stewart acted acted the role of Weary Waggles; Cole was the poor old apple woman, and Nie-played the part of a rustic parson on his first visit to the city. The boys did not not mind it when the lights went out, and left the actors in darkness. Perhaps they thought it was part of the show. The history of 1912 will close with a banquet on April 24th at the Fort Pitt Motel. As the Thistle goes to press before that date, an account of this event may not be given, and far be it from our historian to record anything but facts. But, if the signs fail not, even greater than the Smoker will be this culminating feature in the social life of our second year. Finished? Our second year? It scarcely seems possible. True, we have worked hard, have sacrificed much, yet who of 1912, having put his hand to the plow, would now turn back? Not a man but feels the added responsibility which comes from the acquisition of new knowledge; not a man but sees before him a broader horizon in his world of usefulness; not a man but in whose heart there throb emotions of deepest love and gratitude for the school which has opened such fields of opportunity. And even now, with three more years of work before 11s, there may not be found in any lists “knights more brave or true,” ready to go forth and battle for the glory and honor of Carnegie Tech, than those who answer to the muster roil of 1912, Night. 75 NKJUT CLASS OF 191 FIRST YEAR NIGHT CLASS (1913) President ...... .

The inevitable characteristic. 13,” will, to many minds, hinder the progress and final triumph of the class, but history will record that for once the hoodoo has lost its charm. The first attempt at class organization resulted in nothing definite, for the attention of the Class was wholly directed to the repulsion of certain misguided invaders. Their (the invaders') mode of attack certainly could have been improved upon, and it is a matter of record that their leader spent no little time with the faculty in explanation of the tactics to which our would-be instructors in organization resorted. The meeting of the Class on Monday night, October 26, 1908. proved very successful, the Class becoming an organized body by the election of the following officers: O. W. Robinson, President; 1� . J. Richards, Vice-President; James McIntosh, Secretary ; W. C. Scott, Treasurer. At a third meeting of the Class, the president appointed two committees, viz., Constitution and By-Laws, H. D. Farrell, Chairman; Social, I� . J. Richards, chairman, and the following elections were made: P. E. Flinn, “Tartan” Representative; O. W. Robinson, Athletic Representative. After a short term of service P. E. Flinn severed his connection with the School and at a subsequent meeting E. M. Porter was elected to succeed him as “Tartan” Representative of the Class of 1913. The athletics of the Class were confined to football and were concluded in a game with the Class of 1912 on Thanksgiving morning. An enthusiastic response was made to the call for candidates for the team and though all practice was necessarily done at night, the Class was ably represented on the gridiron. I.. A. Nelson, as captain and manager, deserves much credit for the showing made in the game with the Class of 1912, and the work of each member of the team was invaluable. It is regretted that a victory for the Class of 1912 is recorded by a score of 7-5. The lineup of the Class of 1913 was as follows: Left End Left Tackle Left Guard Center Right Guard Right Tackle Right End McCaffrey McIntosh Glass George Lucas Raymond Blair 78 Quarterback ..... Nelson (Captain) Left Halfback............................Farrel Right Halfback .... Dowling Fullback ................................Robinson, Bell J. M. Low represented the Class of 1913 on the Varsity hockey team, and is deserving of much credit for his zeal in representing the School on the ice, considering his studies at night. At the meeting of February 26, 1909, the following elections occurred, due to the resignations of the president and vice-president and their subsequent separation from the School: D. C Sclheimer, President; (!. II. Lewis, Vice-President; F. A. Dowling, Athletic Representative; E. M. Porter, Chairman of the Social Committee. At the first meeting, called by the new president for March 3, 1909, A. J. Schmidt, D. C. Selheimer, G. H. Lewis, and A. O. Peabody, representing Sections A, B, C and I) respectively, were appointed by the president to the Thistle” board, and James McIntosh was elected Class I listorian. The final reading of the constitution and by-laws as prepared by the committee was interrupted by the winking of the lights at the usual closing hour of the School, but was completed at a special meeting of the Class on March 15, 1909. With few and slight modifications, the constitution and by-laws were unanimously adopted and became effective immediately. For marshal, J. C. Glass, Jr., was unanimously elected to the position provided for in the constitution. The social activities of the class have been reserved for the last of the term when a smoker and also a banquet will be held. Arrangements for these events are being rapidly brought to completion, and they will undoubtedly prove most enjoyable, coming as they do towards the close of the school year and its successes. A dance with the night students of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women, at the close of the fall term of 1908, proved a very happy and sociable affair. With less than a school year as its record, and with four years before it, the Class of 1913 can well close this history with many bright hopes and assurances for its future. With due apologies to the noted American poet— Lives of great men of the future It can readily be seen, Will develop from the Tech School. Graduates of Class Thirteen. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ('13); Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. 79 NIGHT CLASS OK 1913 NIGHT PREPARATORY CLASSES (Two Night and Four Night) President .

HISTORY HISTORY always has been my failing—ever since my early childhood I have been fond of it. One time, when very small indeed, I tore some colored pictures out of Eggelstone’s History of the U. S. and ate them. I got an overdose for my age and very nearly became a matter of history myself. This taste for history still manifests itself at times. My best friends tell me that even my jokes and stories are historical. Evidently our president is acquainted with this weakness, and therefore appointed me to write a brief history of the Preparatory Class of the Applied Science School. On the night after the “athletic rally,” which was called by the Athletic Association for our benefit (?), a number of Prep, students got together and discussed the matter of a permanent organization. A temporary organization was 81 formed and a committee of five appointed by the chair to further discuss the matter and take such action as they considered best. This committee consisted of Messrs. Rodgers, Boe, Orrill, Hagan and Thiele. A meeting of the entire class was called by this committee for December 16th. At this meeting the permanent organization was instituted and the following officers were elected: President . . . . . . J. W. Rodgers. Vice-President ...... L. Raphael. Secretary . . . . . . E. C. Hagan. Treasurer ....... E. A. Thiele. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. The meeting was then adjourned to convene one month from that date. At the second meeting, which was well attended, the constitution submitted by the committee was adopted. The subject of athletics was discussed and it was decided to form a basketball team. Considerable difficulty was experienced in securing a suitable hall for practice at a reasonable price. Considering the short time they had for practice, our boys did very well in winning a fair percentage of the games played. Right here I wish to call attention to the second paragraph of our constitution. It shall be the object of this organization to promote all things that arc of interest to, and for the welfare of, the student body, and to create and foster the spirit of good fellowship among its members. Quite a number of important matters were brought up for discussion at the different meetings and a good deal of enthusiasm (and some oratory) was displayed in discussing them. More than anything else, it should be emphasized that the spirit of good-fellowship, interest in the school work and in the school itself, has had a remarkable growth. It has been told by two professors that the Prep, class of this year is far ahead of any previous Prep, class in its studies, in the spirit it has displayed and in its stick-to-it-iveness, and that it was a pleasure and not a drudge to teach it. Of course it is well to take such things with a grain of salt, as there probably was some occasion for these unsolicited testimonials on the part of the professors. Can we not rightfully, even proudly, point to our class organization and ask, Have we not other reasons to be proud of it”? Without it would we have been as well acquainted with each other as we arc? Would we have gained as many friends as we have? Would we have the interest in the school that we have? Without it would we be represented on The Thistle? In short, without it would we have cut any ice at all ? While this is the first time in the history of the school that the Preps have been organized, we sincerely hope that each ensuing year will see a similar organization. While others that come after may do more and greater things than we have done, it will always be a source of great satisfaction to every member of the 1909 Prep. Class that we have at least shown the way. Erich A.

The affair was given in honor of the Senior Class of the same school, with whom were associated the upper classmen of Applied Design. The list of guests included the Faculty and their wives, the alumni, the three upper classes of both Applied Science and Applied Design, and the Junior Classes of Applied Science and Applied Design of the Night School. Aside from the large school banner there were no decorations in the ball room, but the reception room was in gala attire with the very beautiful banners and pennants of the school fraternities. Palms were tastefully arranged about the booths. I'lie reception was held at nine o’clock, the patronesses receiving. The grand march followed immediately, led by Junior President Light and lady, after whom came President Dowling, of the Senior Class, and the members of the Prom Committee. The program was then rendered until midnight, when a delightful supper was served. After this the program was continued until two o’clock. The Prom was considered by all present as a brilliant success, and the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Ten may well be proud of giving such a well arranged and delightfully enjoyable affair.

While the capacity of the room was not taxed to the limit, the attendance and general enthusiasm were remarkable. To our efficient social committee much credit is due for the able manner in which it was handled, and for the entertaining program which kept everybody in a good humor. Owing to the illness of Mr. Porter, who had the affair in charge, the duties of master of ceremonies fell upon Mr. Taggart, who certainly proved himself equal to the occasion. Our class adviser, Mr. Frazier, opened hostilities with some well chosen remarks. As Mr. Frazier was not acting in his official capacity as adviser, he wisely refrained from anything of a serious nature in his talk. The genial Pop Williams gave us a heart to heart talk on “How to be happy though married.” While none of us doubted Pop’s ability as an orator, we were certainly surprised at the manner in which he handled this difficult subject; he even went so far as to claim that he was the only man in the class. Not wishing to mar the festivities we ignored his challenge. Mr. Taggart, who is recognized as being an exceptionally bright star in the vocal world, was next called upon, but as he claimed to have had considerable throat trouble during the past winter we reluctantly passed him up. Mr. Peabody and Mr. Lewis took this occasion to boom our class banquet, which is to be held in the near future. Schmidt, the “wee one” of the class, was awarded the honors of the evening as an entertainer. His short stories kept the class in an uproar. Where a little fellow like Schmidt finds room to store his jokes is a matter which calls for immediate investigation. Many other members gave short talks on various subjects and the enthusiasm with which they responded when called upon, argues well for the success of our future social events. The liberality of the social committee in providing an unlimited supply of “smokes” was very noticeable. Indeed the supply was so great that we could well have afforded to treat the many members of 1912 class who seemed to be “just hanging around.” 88 K.ofcb B.T - P-. • R. tfl v � 'o?

The membership is drawn from those interested in Chemistry, Metallurgy, and Mining at Tech. The object of the club is to gain more practical information along these lines from men who have had experience and have achieved success; and further, to promote the spirit of good fellowship between members and outsiders in the same work. It has always been the policy of the club to have as lecturers, men who know their ground and have made good. The social side has always been well looked after, and a number of enjoyable dances have been held, both alone, and in conjunction with the Civil Society. The following lectures were delivered before the club in the past season: 1. Dr. J. H. James, on “The Recovery of Scrap Rubber.” 2. Mr. II. A. Gardner, on “The Effect of Paints on the Corrosion of Steel.” 3. Mr. Robert S. Perry, on “A Brief History of the Science of Paint Making.” 4. Mr. C. V. Slocum, on “The Effect of Titanium on Steels.” 5. Mr. Harry S. IIower, on “High Potential and X-Ray Demonstration.” 6. Mr. Joseph Robins, on “Use of Blast Furnace Gas in Gas Engines.” 102 CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY Tl 1E record of the doings of the Civil Engineering Society for the present school year proves it to be a flourishing society, fulfilling the expectations and predictions of its founders. It has grown steadily, until its members number more than fifty, and with this growth has come a proportionate increase in strength and in the interest manifested in the work. All matters pertaining to Engineering subjects arc brought up at the meetings, thoroughly thrashed out and passed upon, and no theory or practice is too difficult for such consideration. The aim of the society is to draw out its members, furnishing them an opportunity of discussing scientific topics, and thereby cultivating the art of thinking on their feet. In this respect the progress has been flattering, and frequently the programs have been rendered by the student members only. At other times the faculty would discuss subjects relating to Engineering not taken up in the class room, or distinguished engineers from the industrial world would be brought in to furnish the evening's entertainment. On one occasion, Mr. E. K. Morse, a noted civil engineer of Pittsburg (at that time employed by a syndicate to work up plans for a sub-way under the city, gave a clear and interesting description of the proposed work, covering the construction and operation of the same. On another occasion. Mr. John Boileau, Consulting Engineer and Coal Expert, entertained the society at his offices in the Park Building. Another form of entertainment given the society is furnished by what is commonly known as the “Feed Committee,” which consists of three members whose duty is to provide refreshments and the “makings after the speechmaking program is over. There is a third form of social activity which should not be forgotten in this narrative, and that is the dances given under the auspices of the Civil Engineering Society and Crucible Club combined. These have been very successful and have furnished opportunities for the intermingling of the clubs in a social way. The officers of the society for the first half of the school year were: C. W. Beck, President; Theron Wasson, Vice-President; G. A. Bell, Secretary and Benjamin Watrous, Treasurer. We are now approaching the Spring term, which is, we hope, for the Seniors, the last term. The officers elected for the balance of the school year are: G. W. Kettcr, President: W. I7. Glasser, Vice-President; A. CL Lloyd, Secretary; and J. L. Latham, Treasurer. With the close of their term of office the society will have completed its third year, with a feeling that the confidence imposed in it by the retiring members was not misplaced. Every Alumni member is exhorted to remember his pledge to the society, and whenever possible to attend the meetings, to encourage the work, which will be carried on with increasing success as the years glide by and class follows class at this great institution of learning. 103 CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY MEMBERS OF THE CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY A.

The object of the Club is the promotion of good fellowship, the development of athletics, and the discussion of electrical subjects. The membership has increased from the “original eighteen to the present enrollment of forty-two. During the season of ’08 the club basketball team won the Inter-Class Championship, winning all but one game, which was lost to the Civils. This defeat was balanced, however, by the two successive victories which we won from them. Twice this year the team was equally successful, defeating both the Architects and the Civils. The first Club dance, held on December 11, 1908. at the Keystone Club, was a success in every respect; about fifty couples were present, and dancing was in dulgcd in until midnight. A buffet lunch was served during the evening. Several smokers were held throughout the winter, the coffee, made by Hartman’s new electric heater, being the feature of the lunches. As a whole, the first year has been a most successful one. and everything points to a bright future for the Mho Club. We have been greatly handicapped in not having a room for our meetings. In the near future, we nope the faculty will give us a room which we can fit up as a library and periodical room, in which we can hold our meetings. CLUB OFFICERS Winter Term President, A.

Although our ranks arc somewhat depleted, a great many classmates having deserted us for the engineering courses, we arc looking forward to another year’s enjoyment of the good fellowship which existed last year. Our return to school brought us to a realization of the fact that we are now upper classmen, the charter class of the Day Industrial School, and hence precedent makers for all future classes. The morning of October 4th was spent in handshaking and finding our new classrooms. At noon we found “The Commons located at the same old stand, serving the same old dope with which we became so familiar last year. The Director’s address, election of officers, organization of the first year's class, and the forming of a football team made the first week an eventful one. The Director’s address, the kind which he alone can give, went straight to our hearts. At the first class meeting we elected Guy E. Frampton class President; Carter, Vice-President; Brown, Secretary and Treasurer; Drachbar, ‘‘Tartan” Representative; Young, Class Historian; McTighe, football manager, and Davis, basketball manager. After the first year students had had a few days to become somewhat acquainted, they were called together and organized by last year’s president. The question of Athletics was taken up, and it was agreed that the upper and lower classes should unite and'support an all-class team. This joining of the classes in a common cause proved to be a success, not only because of the number of games won, but because it united the classes in a way which could not have been otherwise accomplished. The second week we settled down to our studies, which kept us quite busy until Thanksgiving. About the only time we had for recreation was the few hours each Saturday afternoon spent in watching the football games. Finally, Thanksgiving arrived, and the various members of the class hied themselves homeward to spend a few days with parents, and to enjoy once more a dinner cooked by mother. During the month of December we were kept to a steady grind, preparatory to the examinations which the faculty handed us as a sort of Christmas present, just before the vacation. Upon returning to our studies, after the holiday season, we elected the officers for the final term. William Ainsley was elected President, 118 Ii. L. Iloscy. Vice-President, F. W. Ilyle, Secretary and Treasurer, and J. G. rehs and W. S. Davis, representatives on the 'Thistle” Board. The Technique Literary Society also elected officers at this time, choosing the following: H. T. Young, President; II. II. Hook, Vice-President; Philip Werner, Secretary, and J. G. Wehs, Treasurer. In the matter of precedents, we leave this one for the upper classmen of each year to follow: The first year class president shall be ducked on or about the seventh of January, just for “the good of the class, except in such cases, and we presume there will be a few, where a proper degree of humility and respect is shown. Perhaps a word of explanation is due the reader. The material upon which this precedent is based was furnished by one Boulfrois, who received the II2O treatment for expansion of the cranium, with gratifying results. Our swimming party was the next event of importance. At 4 P. M. we went in a body to the Oakland Xatatorium. Notwithstanding the loss of Shapiro’s hat, and the fact that McTighe and Young stuck in the mud while crossing the new ball field, the event proved a success. The feature of the day was the game of polo which proved to be so warm that the temperature of the water was raised several degrees. Thursday, March seventh, we held our second annual banquet at the Mon-ongahcla House. The arrival of St. Patrick’s day. giving us an opportunity to parade under our class color, green, was a chance not to be missed. 'Flic first year class was invited to participate and turned out to a man. Led by the upper class president, Ainsley. and our color-bearers, Xeely, carrying a banner improvised from Young’s green handkerchief, and Ileckart, with a green pennant, we marched through the corridors of the building, then over to M. M. C. S.. where a “locomotive” was given with “Tech Girls on the end, and returned to the front of our school, where a snapshot was taken. The upper and lower classes marching shoulder to shoulder under class colors, so near the end of the term, gives evidence of the proper kind of spirit which is growing in the A. J. School. H. T.

HISTORY WELL, the making of it is all right, and quite in the line of the Industrials. But why ask of us such an impossible task as the writing of it? We, the first-year Industrials, arc not supposed to aspire to literary fame. That the class is a brilliant one is a self-evident fact to all but the faculty. We have had positive proof of their opinion in a statement recently made by one of our worthy Profs. With a brutal disregard for our sensitive feelings, lie announced that he preferred a trip to Purgatory to the glory of teaching us. However, our courage is still undaunted, and we hope in time to reach the heights. The airship route is preferred, but it may be that some of us may ascend the ladder of success by the slower methods of erecting skyscrapers, swinging aloft high art signs, scaling the dizzy heights of electric poles, etc.—anything to reach the goal, and wedge in a little joy on the way. The class organized October 5, 1908, Mr. Young, of the second year class, presiding. We were addressed by Mr. Connelley, our Dean, on the “Object of the Industrial School.” Our class officers were elected, and the enrollment was found to be the largest the Apprentices and Journeymen Schools have ever had. The strength of our numbers gave us a degree of confidence not often feit by a first-year class, and so impressed our worthy predecessors (the second-year class) that they concluded, for the benefit of both classes, that it would be wise to dispense with the annual class rush, meet on friendly terms, unite our forces, and so protect ourselves from the unfriendly attitude of the other schools (Margaret Morrison included). We trust it will not be long until the warmth of our admiration for them will have completely thawed the frigid atmosphere. We may even hope for some sign of recognition. The 1910 class has been well represented in athletic sports, and subscribed more toward the fund for the proposed Athletic field than any other class. About October 16, 1908, our football team, composed of men from both classes, was organized. We decided to combine forces, as in this way we were able to put on the field a strong and winning team that reflected great credit on the school. 128 Seven games were played, four of which were victories, one a tie, and two defeats. Among the teams played were the Plebes, who were twice defeated. Our basketball team was not organized until very late in the season, which prevented us from arranging many school games. Manager Vance secured East Liberty Academy gymnasium in which to practice. When the call for candidates was issued, about fifteen men responded, from whom the team was picked. During the course of the season we scored I11 points to our opponents’ 98, which is excellent, considering the class of teams we were playing. Among the teams played were Wilkinsburg High School, Claysville High School. Braddock High School, The Oxfords, and the Edgewood Club. The class was represented on the Varsity teams by Dolan and Minnemyer of the Drafting Class. Dolan made a very creditable record as a member of the basketball team, and Minnemyer played several games as a member of the hockey team. The annual class banquet was held February 25, 1909, at the Annex Hotel. There were about 52 present, 12 of whom were members of the faculty. After the joys of the feast were over, the toastmaster called upon members of the faculty to address us. 'flic following responded: Mr. Connelley, Mr. Pfouts, Mr. Birge, Mr. Schafer, Mr. Hepburn, Mr. Dosey, Mr. Day, Mr. Morris, Mr. Schumacher, Mr. 'Baylor, Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Smith. The following students also made a few remarks (which, in many cases, caused violent attacks of acute indigestion): Messrs. Boulfrois, McMurray, Dolin, Ewing Fitzhugh, Spandau, Snyder, Kinter, Harrison, and Dunn. Mr. Silverman acted as cheer leader and Mr. Finkel as toastmaster. The only feature that tended in any way to mar the pleasures of the evening was the knowledge that, at the rising of the banqueters, Mr. Boulfrois’ resignation as our first president would go into effect. George McMurray, our vice-president, has since been elected president. The Industrials held their annual St. Patrick’s day “peerade” on the 17th of March. About seventy men turned out, of whom about two-thirds were from the first-year class. The class color was much in evidence in honor of the day. The second-year men awoke only once during the school year, and that occurred when our class president, Mr. A. L. Boulfrois, was requested by Mr. Connelley, to lead the cheers at one of the many lectures which were delivered to the Industrial School as a whole. On this occasion Mr. Boulfrois was unmercifully ducked in the foundry tub (of course this happened when there were no first year Industrials around to help our president). H. W.

To say this affair proved a huge success would be putting it mildly. Although we were a great distance from the first citizen of the land, we rubbed elbows with and heard his bitter rival, that other great citizen, Mr. William Jennings Bryan, who banqueted and spoke in the room adjoining ours. After mingling with Democracy for the early part of the evening in the lobby and corridors, we sojourned to a banquet hall, neat, snug and decorated as a “Tech” banquet hall should be. The plaid was used exclusively in the decorations and the appearance of the room brought many complimentary remarks from the Bryan banqueters, who looked into the room. O11 the left was the “Tech” banner—this was the second time it had been used—on the right were two large A. J. banners; on the mirror at the head of the room, back of the toastmaster, a silk Tartan was displayed, containing the class numerals ’09, while on each curtain and portier a Tech” pennant was pinned. It seemed as though all the plaid in Pittsburg had been gathered for the occasion. At each plate lay a white carnation. The souvenir menus containing the menu, list of speakers, “Alma Mater,” class officers, banquet committee and an extra page for autographs, were printed in green ink and tied with green ribbon, the class color. For the above arrangement we owe our thanks to the untiring efforts of our classmate, Shapiro. As an appetizer we gave the “locomotive” yell. The quick, snappy response was commended by the faculty. A yell after each course and for each of the speakers was the order of the evening. Let it be noted that the songs, yells and good cheer interspersed throughout the evening were of a capital order. After partaking to our heart’s content, we sat back, lighted our cigars and welcomed the opening address of our toastmaster, Dean Connelly. It was a heart to heart talk, for which he is famous. We appreciated it immensely. No other man has our good-will and respect in so large a measure as Mr. Connelly. The first man Mr. Connelly called on was our esteemed Class President, W. Ainsley, who responded most fittingly, dwelling on the subject “Our Class.” 33 What he said was to the point and his thanks to the faculty was a concentrated thanks of all the fellows, for the interest they take and have taken in us. Secretary Fields next gave us a short talk. Mr. Morris responded to the toast “Foundation.” If we lay our foundation as he prescribed, we will compare with the Gibraltar. Mr. Pfouts’ title page was “Specifications,” but his subject matter consisted of wit. Mr. Birge (who hails from New York State) reminded Mr. Pfouts, the gentleman from Ohio, that Ohio and Ohioans sprung from New York, lie then gave us a metaphor on “Pebbles,” the reading of which llowed like a lyric poem from the lips of an accomplished actor. Mr. Leighou analyzed the versatility of our students and did it well. He sprang a new Lincoln story on us. Mr. Brown told us of the inducements of the farm, distinguished between perspiration and sweat, and asked “Rough Head” Neely if God made him. Mr. Dorsey related a good one on false teeth. Mr. Hepburn talked on shop practice and traveling. Mr. Hamilton read an exceptional poem—it pertained to the Bar. Interspersed among the faculty speakers were the following student speakers: H. T. Young (ex-Class President), who was overcome with emotion. “Gilded Dome” Frampton (cx-Class President), dealt with athletics. “Indian” Brown (ex-Vice-President), let us in on the pleasures of a broken leg. “Colophony” W'ehs instigated a movement to organize an Alumni Club. Ilis plan was heartily approved and will be heard from later. “Shorty” McTighe told us (instead of the policeman) his troubles. Leo Hoscy (Vice-President) was run down. Messrs. ex-Presidcnt Davis, Secretary Ilyle, Shapiro, “Deacon” Werner and Emerson were called on. At 1130 o’clock A. M. the banquet was brought to a close by the singing of the “Alma Mater;” another “locomotive” yell, and the best wishes of success by everyone to every other one when lie leaves the scratch at “Tech” school next May. 34 TECHNIQUE LITERARY SOCIETY Harry T.

After the majority of the class were nominated for the most honored positions. a contest of ballots waxed warm and strong. When the atmosphere had cleared, and the slain had been cared for. the rcconnoitcring party gathered sufficient evidence from the scene of action to prove that the following were victorious : President Pice-President Secretary Historian Tartan Representative Athletic Reporters J. E. Bowen. E. O. Young. . Wm. Miller. J. 1’. Kelley, Ed. Allman. ( Thos. Bowi.es, J H. W. Men king. ( E. C. Tomlinson. The class, comprising two hundred and fifty men, all strong, husky fellows, make a very formidable appearance. So when they lined up in front of the bulletin board and discovered that three new studies had been added to the list, namely, Physics, Chemistry and English, you may feel certain that excitement ran high, and that they attacked these new studies with a vengeance, which culminated in a very pleasing and satisfactory manner, both to the students and to the faculty. A banquet was held at the Rittenhouse, April 27, 1908. It was a very brilliant affair, about one hundred and fifty students and instructors being present. Dean Connelley, “Toastmaster, spoke to the boys on the advantages of a technical education to the practical man. He said in his address that the man who tries to rise by his own efforts is sure to get there. 1 Ic then introduced the Director. who wished the graduating class success in their future life and work, and hoped to see the rest back at school for the next term. Among the other speakers were Mr. Leeds, treasurer of the Athletic Association, who spoke on athletics. Mr. Birgc and Mr. Day each delivered an address on current topics which were good to hear, and should alone be sufficient to inspire more exalted desires in the hearts of the men. 137 APPRENTICES NIGHT APPRENTICES 1908-09 OX November 6. 1908, the Apprentices held their first meeting for the purpose of electing class ofiicers. The evidence fudnished by the ballot box proved that the following men were victors: President . J ’icc-President Secrclary- Treasu rer . Historian Athletic Representative George Gri:y (Foundry Class). J. s. Altman (Foundry Class). Harry A. Kraus (Machinist). J. R. Mi i.cark (Sign Painting) Jas. McKinley (Plumbing). 'Phe first year class was full to the overflowing as usual, while the ranks of the second and third year men have been noticeably decreased, due to the fact that a large number of the students have left the city in order to procure employment. In spite of the adverse circumstances which the panic caused, the boys have managed to have a very agreeable time. We have held several smokers and banquets, which the faculty and several distinguished guests have honored by their presence, 'flic general trend of the addresses delivered at these gatherings was to encourage the boys in the work they have taken up. 139 DAY PREPARATORY CLASS DAY PREPARATORY HISTORY 1908-09 WJl, “The Preps ' were a minus quantity when the A. . J. School opened on October 4, 1908. The “Powers that Be” had decided that there should be no Day Prep. Section, but when they heard the full-chested yell that arose they changed their decision. Our recruits came from the Applied Science, Day Industrial and other schools, until, at the close of the first week, we had about thirty members, constituting one of the most energetic and representative organizations in the Carnegie Technical Schools. At first we were backward about talking to each other, but as soon as the newness had worn off, and we had begun to connect the fellows names with their faces, we began to realize that we had a “real” class. After considerable talk about organizing we finally got together and held a class meeting at which officers were elected as follows: W. K. Wardlaw, President; C. M. Crawford, Vice-President; R. G. Garman, Secretary; A. I). Becker, T reasurer. The social life of the class began with its organization. We decided to have a smoker, a banquet, a theatre party, and as many other entertainments as our pocketbooks could afford. Our first jollification was a smoker, which was held on January twenty-ninth, in the Charles Building Restaurant, and it proved to be a great success. We participated in the second year Industrial banquet, at the Monongahela House, on March fourth. It was a big night, and one that will long be remembered by everyone present. When the Industrial Football Team was organized, we began to show our prowess in Athletics by the players we contributed to this team. We organized our own Track Team and successfully met several of the other class teams, and also some secondary school teams. In baseball we were successful; for aside from contributing several players to the A. J. team, we had our own class team. The social year was ended with a theatre party and a dinner. This event was in the nature of a fond farewell, for it was our last gathering. Our school year ended successfully for most of the class, and after examinations for Applied Science we regretfully said our farewells and departed for other fields of endeavor. 141 DAY PREP. SMOKER OX Friday evening. January twenty-ninth. 1909, the Prep. Class held its first smoker in the Charles Building Restaurant, corner Craig and Forbes Streets. To say that it was a great success is putting it altogether too mildly. The early part of the evening was spent in singing popular songs and school songs and in listening to some highly appreciated selections from Herron’s Yictrola. After a group picture had been taken, we sat down to a most enjoyable four course supper. The table was arranged in the shape of a T and was decorated with potted plants, carnations and school colors. At each place a carnation, tied with Tech colors, a souvenir pipe and a bag of tobacco was placed. After the supper was well under way Mr. Wardlaw, as toastmaster, started the intellectual part of the repast. Much useful advice was forthcoming from those of the faculty who were present. Mr. Connelly told of the first efforts of the schools and incidcntly worked in a good joke on “Ex-Director” Synder. Mr. Dirge told a very interesting Adirondack hunting experience and drew as the moral the necessity for being able to do one thing better than anyone else can do it. The other members of the faculty present were Messrs. Steen, Bassett, Hunt and Leighou. Each one responded with an appropriate story or bit of sage advice. We had been informed than everyone would be called on for a toast, so that good stories were numerous, but the real hit of the evening was Chrisman's class song. After all had responded and most of the cigars and cigarettes had gone up in smoke, we sang the Alma Mater and departed for our homes in time to meet the milkman on his morning rounds. 45 CRAFTSMEN’S CLUB THE CRAFTSMEN’S CLUB PRESIDING OFFICERS President, Wm. Miller. I J. P. Kelly, Vice-President. H. G. Dunlap. Executive Committee • F. A. Jamison, Secretary-Treasurer, M. L. Haas. ( Paul Sweigert. OX January 21, 1908, at 8:30 P. M., about twenty students gathered in the assembly room of the Carnegie Technical School, for the purpose of organizing the first permanent club among the night men. The committee, consisting of Mr. Haas, Mr. Caplan, Mr. Hammer, Mr. Rcndleman, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Schauer and Mr. Miller, with the assistance of our ever ready dean, soon drew up a constitution and by-laws, which were unanimously accepted. We then set forth on a campaign for members, and we now have a roll-call that is second to none. It begins with the founder, Andrew Carnegie, Dean C011-nelley and all the rest of the night faculty, and ends with about fifty of the most ardent students in the school. It was decided that the club should be for a strictly social and educational purpose. The social feature has proven more important than expected, as our esteemed friend, Mr. Birge, has entertained us on several occasions with his abundant supply of “close to nature” talks. The educational part has been such as to excite the envy of all who know us. Always piloted by the dean, we have succeeded in penetrating all phases of the star gazing business, from the raw material on Brashear's hill to the finished product in the University of Pittsburg Observatory in Rivervicw Park. We have also been entertained by the Pittsburg Foundrymeivs Association, to which organization we are deeply indcptccl for the enlightenment they have given us on the foundry subjects. We take great pleasure in extending to Professor Brashear, Dr. Schleisinger, Dean Connclley, Mr. Birge and Mr. Day, our heartfelt thanks for the kind assistance they have so willingly extended. 144 Arthur A.

TIIR events of last year since the publication of The Thistle, may be very briefly summarized. First in importance comes the Patron’s Dinner, held at Donegal Inn. liefore the dinner the teams of the day and night classes engaged in a game of baseball, the night team winning the game and the cup offered by Prof. Hornbostel. At this time Prof. Hornbostel announced that the winner of the Patron’s Prize was Karl Glockler, a day student, and called upon him for a speech. Another event of marked importance was the first annual exhibition of the Tech Architectural Club, held during commencement week at the Carnegie Art Galleries. The exhibition included the best work done in the school, and received the commendation of all critics. At the beginning of the school year, Prof. Ferrand came to take the place of Prof. Alaux. who is now practicing in Europe. The course in Interior Decoration was added with Mr. Hewlett in charge. On the twenty-first of September we learned with pleasure that there was nothing to do except to turn our eyes occasionally towards the bulletin boards. Of course, the majority of the Architects enjoyed this kind of life. On the twenty-fourth this free and easy life was interrupted by that strenuous event known as “Field Day Exercises.” Those who participated certainly enjoyed themselves. The Plebes outnumbered the Juniors and Sophs, and won all but the flag rush, which the Juniors and Sophs simply had to win to preserve their standing. The pushball contest was delightful. It was great to have that ball rammed into your face until you could smell leather for a week. Nobody minded such trivial matters as torn sleeves or. indeed, the total loss of a shirt. Many a deed of prowess was done that deserves to be recorded in the world’s history. The remainder of the week was spent in recuperating from these strenuous sports. On Wednesday of the follow week, the Sesqui-Centennial celebration gave us a vacation for the rest of the week. i55 v • «• , rn n y ■;• • • •• a oh ■'•.; •4rH'| l DURING the present year, some of the best means that served to promote good fellowship and good will among the students of the Architectural Department, both day and night, were the various smokers and shindigs held. At these affairs, both schools were represented and had a jolly time together, while the faculty helped to enliven things. The dates, etc., you will find in the History of the Day School. These points are matters for History to record. Here we simply wish to state that, after the air was charged with the smell and the smoke of tobacco, we forgot our studies and joined, care-free, in the fun, enjoying ourselves to the utmost. SA 2 K.ERS 5 Saturday afternoon everybody was on deck for the first sketch, called by the Architects, “esquisse.” The “greenies” certainly were in a bad place until they were told what to do. School was now running smoothly, although once in a while a little horseplay was indulged in by the fellows. On the twenty-third of October the Architects played a football game in the park. The game was started by a very fitting ceremony, the details of which need not be entered into. It certainly was a strenuous game. Poor King sprained his ankle and had to use a cane for several days. Joey had blood on his face, which I am quite sure was his own. Charettc week, a strenuous week indeed, began on the second of November. That is the time when everybody wakes up and faces the grim realization that he has but a week to finish his drawing; the time when the day sessions arc extended far into the night. What a sigh of relief goes up from each one as he starts on his white paper! and what a greater sigh of greater relief when he slaps on the last daub of paint! Sunday, at half past four, there is a grand rush in order to finish, 'file Architectural department, at that time, is no place for a weak heart. When the last drawing has been nailed up and taken away to be shipped to New York, the general feeling of relief finds an outlet in a grand parade. The week following Charettc, the department presented an appearance somewhat similar to the “Deserted Village. However, we were resting for a few days only. On Saturday everybody turned out for the second “esquisse.” On the night of November twenty-fourth, the Architects, both day and night, held a smoker in the department. The place was decorated as befitted the occasion. The piano was brought up from the Assembly Hall and we enjoyed music, both vocal and instrumental, smokes and addresses by the faculty and others. Professor 1 lornbostel gave an interesting account of his trip to Europe; Professor Mc-Goodwin gave us a fine talk sprinkled with a little advice; and Professor 1'errand, even though he seemed disinclined to talk, gave a good account of some of the doings in the foreign ateliers. Mr. Zeller was caught, elevated to a table, and asked to tell us how he was initiated in France. He did, and it was great. The week of December seventh was devoted to that awful horror, term end exams, because the next week was Charette and we had no time for such trifling matters then. The only study we arc bored with during Charette is French and we dearly love it. The date of the rendu was moved forward a week, in order that the poor mortals who do not live here might have a chance to go home. That made it a quiet Charette, as each man left for home as soon as he had finished. The plan men were not as lucky as the order men, and did not finish until the twenty-sixth. On the fourth of January we came back to take the next esquisse. Sometime that week, a cablegram was received from Mr. A. V. Sparks, saying that he would sail on the ninth from Liverpool to take up his duties as instructor in freehand drawing. •57 On the eighth, the Juniors and Sophs of the Schools of Applied Science and Applied Design held a banquet at the Union Club. It was a very enjoyable affair, but everybody regretted that Professor Hornbostel could not be present. Mr. Lccte gave an excellent address. After a few speeches and a survey of the city from the balcony, the party broke up. On the fifteenth, twelve candidates were initiated into the Tech Architectural Club. The initiation took place in the drawing room, where the usual ceremonies were performed. A dinner at the 1 lotel Grand brought the affair to a very fitting close. About this time a basketball team was organized with Lamont as manager. Quite a few candidates were out. and for all the practice they got, we had a pretty good team. They lost several games, but that makes no difference. During the first half of February, an exhibition of Chinese and Japanese embroideries, paintings and photographs was held in the galleries of Carnegie Institute, by the School of Applied Design. One Tuesday morning, early in February, we discovered that the French class was in the new building. We decided that that was too far to go and also a little dangerous, as we were afraid we might get lost: so we held an impromptu affair in the inner room of what was then the Decorators' department. Things certainly were lively for a while and, just in the midst of the program, the door opened and Prof. Hewlett looked in. That ended the fun, for we immediately lit out the window. But, alas 1 as each one passed through the window he was greeted by a glance from Prof. McGoodwin. On Friday we were given an informal talk, with the result that we have been model students ever since. On February twentieth, the fourth esquisse was taken. Sometime during that month Karl Glocklcr, winner of last year’s Patron's Prize, returned to school. He had been in Europe for eight months. The week of March seventh, a class meeting was held and a committee for student government was elected, with Burkhart as chairman. It consists of five members, and all questions regarding student discipline are to be decided by them. An attorney will have to be appointed to look after the senators. On March sixteenth, a “shindig”, to which the night students were invited, was held at the Hotel Grand. It was a macaroni dinner and everybody had a good time. Nearly all the faculty were present and had something to say. Easter vacation is here, but the Architects arc above such petty things. They arc working hard, for Charette week has come. C. D.

Some said this unusually significant and grim phenomenon foreboded war. and thought of Japan or Venezuela, but in this they were wrong. In the fall of that year, people remembered and understood that the elements intended only to announce that the Architectural Department of the Carnegie Technical Schools was entering upon its second year. New records were to be made; new friends were to be found, new work was to be undertaken, and nouveaux were to be initiated. Now, was this the class of 1911 or 1910? “M011 Dieu,” as Monsieur Alaux used to say, “who can tell? We do not know; we leave it to you; we adjure you, take the facts and go out into the wilderness, as we have done, and wrestle with this problem. Go down among the tall stacks of Soho, and, under their shifting shade, stretch out on the dried leaves of a Pittsburg newspaper and consider this thing. The year 1906 was notable for other facts. First, we must mention a minor point, but still, something which is generally mentioned in histories. It marked the real beginning of the Department of Architecture. The thing we have to record was the establishment of the day school. The night school welcomes, with genial grace, the new comrades. • It was glad to share the honors. There were plenty to share. The night school was not tired of leading the life of single blessedness, but it recognized its affinity right away, and it was not afraid of losing its individuality. Is not night still spoken of as different from day? So it will always remain. Night has its myriad stars, its (India) inky blackness, and its many (high) lights, not to speak of highballs. The night and day classes of Architecture have pursued the even first and second tenors of their respective artistic ways. First mentions have been awarded, and many lemons given out for three years ; now those day class men are Seniors, and the night school men— ah! what are they? We have not heard; we are not classed; tell us if you have 169 •c THOOL HOWE- LIKEWISE GRAFT- solved the problem we gave you earlier in this history Arc we Seniors or Juniors, or arc we Democrats? Nineteen hundred and six brought us Mr. MeGoodwin, and laid the foundation of our prosperity. Under his sharp pencils and vigorous criticisms we found out how to make the famous MeGoodwin line drawing, which we hope to sell at high prices to some appreciative architect some day. He fed us with full buckets of paste, and gave us wall paper borders to cover the nakedness of oiu “chassis when we were ready to rest our poor little order drawings on them, and send them to the ravening critics in New York. It was all very difficult and strange then, and we did not know how. hirst mentions came bur way from the start, we saw our names in the papers, and we began to sit up and take notice. The night school has always had its share of plain mentions and of those with frills on. We also sent to the Beaux Arts Society, at this time, a few archaeologies, to show our versatility. We had, now, a full Hedged Atelier which belonged to us, and we knew how to pronounce the word, at last 1 We had a number of pleasant little “shindigs, in order to warm up for the Patron’s Dinner at the end of the year, at which the Faculty were present. The new men who came into the night class quickly found their little niches in the Atelier, did their particular little tricks which could entertain, and speedily received their appropriate cognomens, and so we progressed through the strenuous mid-winter work, into the spring-fevery “near work of the end of the year. I'he Patron’s Dinner was accomplished and, after a long summer vacation. 1907 found the night school back at the old stand again. We had moved now for the sixth time in three years. Wc began to feel as though a move into some other part of the school buildings was a regular part of the school curriculum. Nineteen hundred and seven brought many new things and new men to us. Mr. Campbell came to 11s from the effete East, to show 11s how to put the snaps on the lines. Mr. Kesthelyi was put in charge of free hand drawing, and we hope we have spelled his name right, i'he genial Mr. Zeller came to show us how to mould the common, or garden variety of red clay, into redheaded Billikens and many other pretty little things like that. Most important, perhaps, of all the new men who were added to the Faculty at this time, was M. Jean Paul Alaux. M. Alaux was the first glimpse that we had ever had of the undiluted exponent of the mythical ficole des Beaux Arts— “Architect diplome par le gouverncmcnt Frangais” has a ringing sound when one recovers consciousness after hearing it. and wc were duly impressed. By M. Manx’s untiring and inspiring efforts we accomplished more than ever in our study of the art of Architectural Design. Mr. Alaux, as he had to be called, was a genial gentleman and a great friend of everyone. At the end of the last school year. Mr. Alaux became associated with his father, an old practitioner in Bordeaux, France, and so was lost to us. Our regular quota of mentions was declared during this year, also a scattering crop of the same old brand of lemons was taken in. The number of men who rendered “projets was often so large 171 that ten or eleven boxes of drawings were sent to New York at the end of theCharcttc. Shindigs, smokers and such little “contretemps” served to ease down the grind this winter and spring, and we safely weathered the baseball and tennis seasons, and came back in the fall of 1908 more numerous and fuller of veterans than ever. We were getting larger, more famous, and more admired every day. We did our regular little moving “stunt” as the necessary preliminary, and found ourselves possessed of a new and largely increased equipment of lockers, etc. We found again new faces among the Faculty lines. M. Gabriel Fcrrand came to take Mr. .Manx's place. He was a contemporary of M. Alaux in Paris, at the ftcole, and we hope he found it easy to go over the ground that Mr. Alaux had plowed before him. There has been no more popular instructor in the Atelier than Mr. Ferrand, and we guess that we arc more to him than we could estimate at this moment. Mr. Hewlett and Mr. Sparks came to us this year, and patiently guided our faltering “hand steps” along the charcoal drawing paper. Our long lost traveling scholar suddenly appeared one evening in this year. This innocent, fresh from adventures abroad, and with the glory of “mentioned in the dispatches from the front,” still clinging alxmt him, naturally sought to rest in the highest stratum of the schools, and so naturally wandered into the night class of Architecture. The work this year on the “projets” was the best we had ever seen. I loth Class A and Class l� were represented in every “projet”, and by far the largest number of drawings we ever sent out. went to New York this year. Some of us who started in the beginning have been won away by other interests: a few have even dared to be married: but the greater number of night men who started out in the first couple of years of the class, arc still active members. We have done many projets”, and we hope to do many more. We feel, without undue boasting, that we have the responsible position in the Architectural Department, as we are the most numerous, and comprise the oldest and most experienced men. The associations and friends that we have formed are not less valuable to us than the skill we have acquired or the education we have gained. We are much more fortunate than the Seniors or Juniors, because when their three or four years arc finished, they have to leave. What can they do? Why, it is very simple. All they have to do is to join the night class which goes on forever and in which you soon forget whether you are Senior or Junior, or voted for W. A. Magee, in the pleasant feeling which comes from belonging to that class. 172 COURSE IN ARCHITECTURE CLASS A Guy F. Bruton, Henry W. Peebles, Walter M. Jones, Jr., O. J. Robbing, Marion M. Steen. i .

The shindigs, smokers and spaghetti parties are fine, but the dinner is beyond comparison. Last year’s Dinner was held at Donegal Inn, in the wilds of West View. Some say there was a baseball game in the afternoon, and that Mr. Ilorn-bostel gave a cup to the winners, but all that seems to have been forgotten in the big time that night. The doings started with a rush, a piano, “Hail, hail the gang’s all here, and Mr. 1 Iornbostcl”; from then on it was a feast of nonsense and carnival of folly. Mr. I Iornbostcl uncorked his oratorical champagne with a bang, followed by Messrs. McGoodwin. Lee, Weber, Janssen and Campbell, who all showered touching compliments upon us. Mr. Laitlie sang a tender ballad about “wanting what he wanted when he wanted it,” and strange to say there were a few unbroken dishes on the table when lie had finished. We will long remember the famous charge of the chair brigade that night. Round and round we went, led by the big chief, valiantly dodging the volleys of bread and chicken wings, till all West View was aroused by the sounds of revelry. After that, things grew somewhat hazy, and we but dimly remember our anxious host looking wratfully at his ruined table linen, and vowing we should never more return. Still less clearly do we remember the start for home, and for everyone it was a memorable trip. All were happy and joyous and inclined to sing, especially one of the faculty, who beautifully rendered “In the Good Old Summer Time” until it lost all its charm in repetition. There were many other stunts, equally worthy of mention, but let us draw the curtain—the rest was too joyous to impart to other ears. 179 Rraxdox Smith.

I am youthful like yourselves, and not attained unto dignity, so pray do not judge me as an imposter if I seem frivolous to you at times. Effervescence is an inherent property of some spirits, you know—but that is another story. Only a few years ago I dwelt in the Realms of Obscurity, faithfully guarding the destiny of the American Girl. Sorrowfully I watched her being warped and stunted by mistaken educators—but the time was not yet ripe. Impatiently I waited until permission came to cross the border of the Land of Reality. I first found a lodging place in the heart of a generous little Scotchman of the clan Carnegie, but soon outgrew these headquarters. Other hearts were opened to me, and in due season these were moved to provide me with a permanent abode. Now I am no longer a wandering, ephemeral idea, but a real spirit with a name and a home of my own. Since I am come unto my own. I would have speech with you and take this opportunity to give you a piece of my mind. I am not a suffragette, yet I speak of woman s rights and woman’s wrongs. Woman was created in the image of God just as much as man, and it is a crime to deface that image. To hinder her growth in any way is to deface it. I Ier mind may be just as active and able as man’s, but it is not like man’s. Therefore, to educate her as a boy is educated is to hinder her development into a symmetrical woman. Primarily, then, she must be educated as a woman, hirst of all she must learn to know her own possibilities and limitations, and when she has acquired self-control and balance of power, she may learn the use of a paddle. Then she may safely paddle her own canoe down the stream of time with no more serious mishaps than an occasional ducking and a sprinkling of freckles. That is, if she have more than a theoretical knowledge «3 of paddling. Theory without practice is like faith without works. Knowledge simply plastered on the outside of a girl's soul will be of little use when the canoe capsizes. Knowledge to be of any practical value must be chemically combined with her own being. 'That kind of chemical reaction produces the salt of the earth that does not lose its savor. Woman’s field of activity (please notice 1 did not say sphere) is pre-eminently the home. From the time she makes her first terrestrial pies and nurses Dolly through an attack of measles, her instinct for Home Rule is apparent. This much lauded instinct, however, is not always infallible, so training in the different branches of the home-making arts is indispensable. Xow, Lassies, listen—Domestic Science and Cooking are not synonymous terms. Cooking is but one of the duties incident to housekeeping. It is not the chief end of woman, though it may be the chief solace of man. Most women do too much cooking. Life is more than meat and drink. No woman has a right to make up her life into pies and cakes and other forms of glorified greasiness and fricasseed nightmares. A little less cooking and a little more thinking would do much to ‘'lessen suffering and increase happiness.” Wliy should you be mere cooks when you may be women? So mourn not over hours spent in extracting cube root and chemical equations; in translating Cicero and Browning: in wandering through the mazes of Nebular I lypothescs—yes, have need of all these things, for whatever helps to develop either mind or body will help in the successful administration of a home. There is. also, a larger housekeeping for which a woman must be trained. Civic housecleaning is a duty and a joy forever, and furnishes plenty of work for otherwise idle hands to do. Wherever there is sorrow or suffering, poverty or ignorance, there is work for her to do. If her brothers will not let her vote, she can at least be a “power behind the throne” if she be an intelligent woman. But what of the girl who does not marry and make a home of her own? Is she to sit around with hands folded and wait, like Mr. Micawber, for something to turn up—meaning by that a Prince Charming? By no means. Let her “Get leave to work.” There is no real life without service, for service is the price of living. Work of any kind is honorable and a thousand times better than dreaming at home over a bit of embroidery or a fudge kettle. f. I..... S-fK-rt Jr — fW— ■f. •� Il jl ? i 184 To recapitulate—every girl should he educated as a woman; should learn self-control and the arts of home-making; should do her share of the world’s work and never eat the bread of idleness. And now my sermon’s done. I have tried to show the things I stand for. Each year a class will go out into the world to spread this gospel, so it will not be long until the leaven has spread through the whole lump of American Womanhood, and my mission will he accomplished. “Hut soft! methinks I smell the morning air. Fare thee well at once, and—remember me. t CffUt , ‘fjjese i{i'e VJoiyop 1S5 FACri.TY OF THK MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE SCHOOL FACULTY LIST 1908-1909 MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE SCHOOL FOR WOMEN Anna B.

In June the girls of '09 will go out into the world as the first graduating class of this School. We have been together since those exciting days in 1906 when we were domiciled in a secluded wing in the Roys’ School. A few new girls joined us later, hut the adjective “new is not applicable now. as they are counted as members of the family. Unfortunately, several members of the faculty decided that the home was truly woman’s sphere, and left us after they had safely piloted the class to the end of its Junior year, fears were shed when Miss Stutz renounced the joys of single blessedness, and many of the gills refused to be consoled. However, her successor has so endeared herself to the members of the class that we are now as loyal to Colorado and Rrowning as we were once to “Old Manhattan and I )ickens. One of the most important events of the year was when the Senior Household Arts girls began housekeeping in The House. The girls in the other classes will never forget the pleasant times they had there, especially when the reception was given to the “mothers.” More than one young lady confided to Miss West that she wished she had taken the 1 lousehold Arts Course. We arc told, though, that by purchasing an M. M. C. S. cook-book (which is being written) we shall he able to make any of the delicious dishes which have been served to us by the girls. rhcrc was great rejoicing when the I lousehold Arts girls took charge of the lunch-room. “Feasts became things of the past and the hungry mob contented itself with dainty noonday lunches. It is appalling when one considers how expensive it is when one purchases food containing the proper number of calorics. The Secretarials bow to the financial acumen of the lunch-room staff. In October the class elections occurred, and the officers for the Senior Year were chosen. As President, Catherine lhmsen has proved the “right one in the right place. It may he lesc majestc. but I venture to say she has been quite as impressive as any faculty member, when she occupied the carved chair in the faculty room. Henrietta Alcorn has made a charming Vice-President. Our dignified Secretary, Dorothy Scott, has never missed a meeting, and has recorded the minutes as faithfully as if she were present at a “Board Consultation. Virginia Lee, no doubt, has found the office of Treasurer an arduous one. I ler treasury reports were pathetic, to say the least, but strangely enough, our hearts, and not our pocketlxioks, were touched. The Class of ’09 cannot be accused of frivolity. I make that statement advisedly. The social affairs of our Senior Year have not been numerous. To begin with, there was an informal dance just before the holidays, after which we retired into oblivion until the occasion of the Junior Prom. Had it not been for the kindness of the Juniors in inviting 11s to attend, dancing would probably now be a Lost Art in the Senior Class. We hope that the Senior Ball is not a dream, but that it will actually materialize at the proper time. J11 discussing the social affairs of the class we must not forget the “Teas” which have been given for the Seniors. The first one, which occurred in October, was really intended for some distinguished visitors, but when everything was ready the guests failed to appear, so the faculty decided to utilize the “perfectly IS9 I good” refreshments and give a tea for the Seniors. It was at this tea that the news of Miss Smith’s engagement was gently broken to the class. Later in the year Mrs. Hamcrschlag took pity on us and we spent two delightful afternoons at her home. In October the Secretarial electrified the other members of the class by appearing in uniforms of a fearful hue. Some few bold spirits ventured to admire them, but the rest gazed in silence and remarked on the beauty of the numerous buttons. As a result few Secretarial uniforms have been seen since. The color of these wonderful creations is a sort of drab-olive-yellowish-green. Please do not ask me to be more definite. When gym work started the Senior Basketball Team elected Dorothy Scott captain, and then challenged the Juniors to a game. The game was played and the Juniors succeeded in making amends for last year’s defeat at our hands. Still another game was played, but it is best to draw a veil over the score. Our basketball days are over, but we shall always remember the joy of playing—even if we did not prove victors. We trust that the precedents we have established will be considered as such, and not consigned to oblivion. Few can appreciate the responsibility which has rested upon our shoulders since we first began our checkered career in this School, but if anyone can. Miss Smith is that person, for she has been with us since the “beginning of all things.’’ and it was to her we looked for guidance when we were confronted by new problems. It seems quite fitting to us that when we graduate Miss Smith will graduate” with us, and take her place in what a true woman considers the happiest place on earth—a home of her own. Many of the girls have already made their plans for next year. Rumor has it that several of our members will go to housekeeping at once; others have visions of fat salaries as private secretaries to philanthropic millionaires, and still others arc so devoted to the School that they contemplate taking the Normal Course which is to be offered next year. Xo matter how widely separated we may Ik in after years, the Class of 1909 will forever Ik remembered as the first graduating class of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School.

IT seems as if we must apologize for intruding on your patience, gentle reader, for don’t you know that after saying our adieus last year and just on the eve of packing up our belongings, along came the Dean with the sad tidings of a shortage in the stock of diplomas and we were requested to return and earn the necessary credit units. (Really, 1 think she hated to see us go.) Of course many of our then large class could not see through the glass darkly. yet we are now face to face with the wisdom of this decision. We have been working hard this last year, but class spirit, of which ’09 always has had an abundance, has increased a hundred fold. A high standard in deportment has been maintained and we are pleased to report that the Juniors are following nobly in our footsteps. Who of us shall forget that memorable night in October, nineteen hundred and six, when the Class of ’09 first assembled in what was then the main building of the C. T. S. Night after night we passed bravely by the long file of boys in the corridors to our own corner in the big school ? File next year we were notified to report at our new home across the hollow. It seemed strange to us to meet new faces on the stairways and in the halls, sharing the privileges that we alone had enjoyed. Out of pity for their “greenness” we tolerated their stares and sighs of admiration. The beginning of this year saw a new group (who call themselves plebcs), but we, being deeply engrossed in our work, have had no time to notice their antics. The social life of our class has not been neglected for we have found time for many pleasant evenings together. We have danced, skated and picnicked and many lasting friendships have been formed. The annual Valentine Party has been the social event of each year. Dan Cupid has not overlooked the class of Naughty Nine, which accounts for many missing faces from our original class, nor has our faculty been neglected by the busy little archer. Premonition, together with the “Signs of the Times,” causes us to think that “certain others” are only waiting for their degrees in Domestic Science before qualifying as homemakers. And now for the beginning of the end: for a little while the Class of ’09 rides the topmost wave. The present is here, rosy-tinted and bright, but it is only for a little while, and then the class of nineteen naught nine will have been swept along by the flood, and will have been forgotten, its history only remaining, for “the good we do lives after us.” “A Mighty Hand from an exhaustless urn Pours forth the never ending Flood of Years.” And so we resign our place, a little regretfully perhaps, but we wish the following class success in upholding the honor of the Senior Night Class of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women. 204 NIGHT CLASS OF 1909 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY HAPPY is the class that has no history, whose course flows on so smoothly, quietly and prosperously that nothing occurs sufficiently startling to be recorded! The most diligent search among documents, letters and traditions has revealed but few events during the Junior Year of the Class of 1910 worthy to he called history. YVe started out upon the second year of our career in M. M. C. S. with much brighter prospects for the oncoming year than we had at the beginning of the preceding one. A year of experience and learning had given us a firmer foundation upon which to stand during the remainder of our course in this school. Rut to return to the time when we entered the M. M. C. S. as the Plebc Class: in one respect only did we resemble other classes that come in year after year, and that resemblance lies in the fact that when we entered we looked green. Rut our greenness was revealed only in looks. When has there been a brighter Plebe Class? The Faculty rejoiced and were appalled at the same time. They were very much afraid that we couldn't keep up our brightness. But now they know us better and arc afraid no more. This year we, as Juniors, have simply enjoyed ourselves, worked some and played some. Next year we will make our reputation in the intellectual world. This year we are but the buds of knowledge, next year these buds shall burst into full bloom and it shall be our joyous task to prove that at last the class has arrived whose members are socially, morally, and mentally fit to be graduates of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. The first week of school we spent much of our time welcoming the Plcbes into these Halls of Learning and in congratulating our elder sisters upon reaching the goal of “Seniorship. The acquaintance of the new members of the Faculty was soon made and glad greetings were given to our old friends, the teachers of last year, who had struggled with us as Plcbes and through whose efforts we had been able to appear on the horizon of the Junior Year. Then we started out upon our specialized courses. I f at first the route seemed long and narrow, soon everything appeared brighter and each one of us thought that her own course was the best. We elected for our class president, Ruth Doran, who has proven a worthy successor to Gertrude Hartman, who served so faithfully during the Plebc Year. The Phantom Party, which was given the last part of October for the Plcbes. was certainly a success, and the ghosts of the past, present and future were well represented. 207 But the crowning event of the year in the minds of the Juniors was the “Prom,” which was given in the Rittcnhousc on February 12th. It was a howling success! Just ask any one who was there. Modesty (which no doubt you all have noticed is one of our chief characteristics) prevents our enumerating any more of our successes. In closing our history we hope that each girl of M. M. C. S. will be successful in her own special line of work for which she has been so well prepared by our honorable Faculty, whose lalx rs will then bear due fruit. Thus the class so widely known, so justly famed and so highly honored, will leave the Junior Year to the Class of 1911. and will show the Faculty what they have never before seen, an intelligent Senior Class. M. D. R. and D. F. J. To. 208 ssvao hoikot HOUSEHOLD ARTS HOW many of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie instructors and students have not been accosted by the question, “How soon do you expect to graduate a class of cooks?” Of course we all expect to be cooks, but how different from everyday professional beings! Our cooking will be theoretically correct and will conform to all rules of nutrition and dietetics. It will not only be theoretical, but also practical, for has it not been told us so often that “a man’s heart is reached through his stomach?” We shall not only be able to cook everything from a plain boiled potato up to a French omelet, but shall be able to hold long discussions on Ancient and Medieval history in the most approved language. Our abilities in this phase of education have been developed by our acquaintance with classical authors and rules of rhetoric. Besides expressing our thoughts and feelings in words, we arc taught to give them form and color. When finished these arc fit to adorn the gown of a queen or to make up the decorations of any castle (cither real or imaginary). The effect of these designs has been tried on gowns that we have laboriously cut and stitched. From sewing we always go to Gym. where stitches of a different kind often bother us as we ride the horse or go swimming on the floor. The way to take out these stitches is explained in physiology lectures. Here pictures arc sometimes shown to us of the tuberculosis germ and of model dairies. Anyone wishing information about milk and its care can apply to us for all the points desired. After hygiene lectures on tenement houses and unsanitary conditions, we arc raised to the proper moral standard by Social Ethics. This always elevates our thoughts and brings us into intimate association with men like Socrates. Cicero and Charlemagne. However, these men were not as familiar to us as Rcmscn and Hutchinson. From Rcmscn we learned the secret chemical process of plants in manufacturing sugars, starches and fats. Hutchinson taught us the proper foods to eat and just how much of each kind. As dietetics and chemistry are closely related, we had to know each to understand the other. Dietetics and cooking teaches us how to feed the inner man. which is very important, but perhaps of more importance in some ways is bookkeeping. I bis shows us by a system of ledgers and cash-books how we can judge the amount of food to give this important man. Something else is needed before the food! Frances B. Kempee, 1910. 210 DRESSMAKING Needles and pins, needles and pins; When you're a seamstress your trouble begins. Such was the case with Olive and Jane, Florence and Norma and Charlotte and Maine; (May’s name isn't “Maine,:” any more than it’s mine, But 1 just put that in to make the thing rhyme), Hazel and Helen and “Pug” (a nick name), Elizabeth, too, and Madeleine. Pots and pans, they regarded with scorn, And things secretarial were not to be borne: Costume design was all right in its way, But drawing fine ladies they thought mere child’s play. So the only one left to point them to fame, Was Ma’amselle Modiste, a toast to the name! Each girl bought some scissors and needles and thread, And without more ado began forging ahead. “Slot seam and French seam, pin tuck and fell, If we had our own way, we would send you to—a very nice place. O for the days of Adams and Eves, When folks walked around attired in leaves.” Such was the gist of their deep cogitation, When first they attempted to make a creation. For the tight fitting linings looked simply unlawful. And the effect, on the whole, was “horribly awful.” On rolled the days in magic succession, Closing, O joy! the 1909 session. In making a ball gown each girl is proficient, And each thinks her art is entirely sufficient. She no longer gives fancy tucks a bad name, But deems them a step on the ladder of fame; And when asked if she likes it. makes answer, “O, yes, There's nothing I like more than making a dress.” 211 1 II. OURSLKR, ’iO. SECRETARIAL CLASS PERHAPS one pictures a very proper person, whose knowledge of classics fairly bulges from her head, when he hears that a girl is taking a secretarial course. However, no one should form this opinion before he has seen a Margaret Morrison girl of the Secretarial Class. For she is not only versed in all secretarial arts, but she also has a well-rounded education on such subjects as will enable her to live a perfect home or social life. In fact, if it be not presuming, one may say that this secretarial girl is portrayed truly in Wordsworth’s words: “A perfect woman, nobly planned; To warn, to comfort, and command; And yet a spirit, still and bright. With something of an angel-light ’ Each course presents many possibilities and opportunities, but the girl in the secretarial class has hopes, which far surpasses the others. She pictures herself (but remember it is only a picture, drawn on a flimsy canvas) as a private secretary, seated in a richly furnished room (not a bare office—banish the thought!) She sees herself a much esteemed young lady, whose advice is sought upon all occasions. 'This girl, in her dreams, fancies herself the one to command, rather than to be commanded. In short, her life as a private secretary is simply a bed of roses with the thorns clipped off. But alas! About this time the girl in secretarial class awakens, and her dream vanishes. She finds herself confronted with the real things of life, and the more real things (in the form of tiresome studies) of her course. In the first place. English is a great help to the position she hopes to occupy in the near future. Through the aid of it. she will be able to give anyone an unbiased criticism of the standard English novels. The one desiring knowledge along this line will surely be overcome by the force of her remarks, and will go away, never more to doubt the value of English literature. Her training in oral English, under the form of Current Topics, makes her a fluent talker and thus she will not be afraid to converse with Mr. Carnegie himself should she decide to accept a position as his private secretary. Girls have always been thought to have very indefinite ideas about the location of places, but. when it comes to the secretarial girl, she can locate any place on the map. and furthermore can give the exports of that place. (Just ask her where Bermuda onions come from.) The real foundation of her work may be found in typewriting, mathematics, and bookkeeping. In these studies she gets actual business experience. In the commercial law she learns how far one may go without getting caught, and what the consequences are. if such a calamity should happen. Her history is quite exciting, dealing with Roman gentlemen of long ago. In physiology she learns how to set bones, which may have been broken through too strenuous exercise in the Gym. Another important accomplishment of the secretarial girl is her ability to print, and have the letters even. too. Last, but not least, she has a course in Social Ethics, which will enable her to uplift those with whom she comes in contact. From this lengthy explanation of sercetarial “hopes, thoughts, and deeds,” one may form a faint conception of the great scope given by the course. If a student wish to be graduated from the most interesting and beneficial course in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, let her look toward “things secretarial.” 212 NIGHT CLASS OF 1910 HISTORY NIGHT CLASS 1910 M. M. C. S. THE beginning of the end is approaching for the Junior Night Class of the M. M. C. S. The past year has been fraught with much of toil and struggle, trials and tribulations, counterbalanced, however, by good fellowship. social intercourse, and a preponderant school spirit, which manifested itself at the very beginning of our school life, and which exceeds, to a great degree, the class spirit. The announcement, made by the Dean prior to the close of the term last Spring, to the effect that the Secretarial course had been increased to three years, acted somewhat in the nature of a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and frightened the more timid and less energetic of the girls, consequently the Rook-keeping and Stenographic Departments showed a material decrease, numerically, when school opened in the fall, and many familiar faces were missed on registration night. However, .the faithful who entered the Plains of Perseverance preparatory to their climb up the Mountain of Victory, have neither faltered nor grown weary, and but one cycle remains ere the coveted certificate be theirs. At the end of the Spring term last year we parted with two of our teachers —Miss Dcischcr and Mr. Harnett. While the ancient Phoenicians and Romans tantalized us, and the royal assassinations in Portugal almost, drove us wild, and we suffered much weariness in trying to decipher why the inhabitants of Mars have pipe stems for limbs, yet we parted with much regret from the brown-eyed lady who disseminated all this information and data regarding these and divers ether peoples long since passed away, or whom we were willing to have pass away! And while we lost Mr. Barnett, we were not freed from the “rule of three,” for with the advent of Mr. Church the good work went steadily on and on and on! With loyalty one of the strongest virtues of the class of 1910. we have welcomed to the teaching corps Miss Fisher, Mr. Cannon and Mr. Church, and were willing to be just, if critical! And while our new teachers are occupying the pedestal of regard, which was of necessity vacated by their predecessors, yet we would petition the powers that be to cease these dreadful shiftings less we founder in the Sea of Lost Affections. The girls of the Sewing. Millinery and Cooking Departments have been enabled to accomplish their work in t wo years, as was originally intended, and will leave the workroom and kitchen with happy, smiling countenances, and cherished slips of paper, showing that they arc the best ever, and competent to cope with any phase of the work in their various capacities as seamstress, milliner or cook! Suspicion, however, points her finger at the girl who enters the Cooking Class, for 214 she has, beyond a doubt, an ulterior motive for taking up this course, and the time, the man, the place and the girl will eventually prove our suspicions were not without foundation. The cut-and-dry routine of school life has been interspersed this year with several social affairs, primarily among them being the reception tendered the Night IMebes by the Juniors and Seniors. This broke the ice and made the wee ones feel at home. Several smaller affairs, for the Juniors only, enhanced the beauty of the school and class spirit. The largest affair, however, was the dance given on the night of March second; this was well attended by both students and Faculty, and was unanimously declared to be the best in our history. The chronicler of the class history cannot but make use of a news item, and interweave it with her history, for it belongs to the Class of 1910, as it docs to each class in attendance at the M. M. C. S. this Year of Grace, Nineteen and Nine. With the departure of the Class of 1909 comes also the departure of the the Dean—Miss Anna Beckwith Smith—from our midst. Our Dean severs her connection with M. M. C. S. to assume the position of Dictator-in-General of the Hart and home of a lucky ranchman in faraway Montana. Long may she reign. From History we would turn to Prophecy, and while we predict, it is with a certain knowledge. The Class of 1910 will meet with a much larger depletion upon its entrance in the fall of 1909 than it did in the fall of the year just closed. The graduates will not exceed one-third of the original class, for, even now, wedding bells are mingling with school bells, and the text-book will be laid aside for the scepter of the home, the certificate of graduation bearing the Director’s signature will be forfeited for the certificate signed by the Parson. And thus endeth the second chapter. Ei.isareth M. Longdon, Historian. 215 Off C€r VM JF - A'i SfC c- Occoy EThmi Atr Af ny PLEBE CLASS HISTORY THE class of 1911 lias had no peer in cither ability or numbers. We have in our midst pupil after pupil who has far surpassed any of the expectations of our faculty. Up to the present time we have had little opportunity to show to our upper classes what rare “talent lies below them.” but our genius will break forth in splendor, in time to come. Although our “refined vaudeville” was appreciated, our ability will henceforth be used in a better cause. 'Phe “refined vaudeville” was given in return for the entertainments with which we, as an incoming class, were favored by the Seniors and Juniors. The Seniors gave a charming tea in our honor early in October, and although it was rather formal, every Plebe enjoyed herself. On Hallowe’en the Juniors entertained us at a unique affair, called a Phantom Dance, where we all went dressed in sheets and pillow cases. Needless to say, we had a “ghostly” but lovely time, helping ourselves to all the Hallowe’en goodies we wanted. After the parties were over, and we had become “things of the past,” special classes were organized for our special needs. Miss Fisher has lately taken upon herself the cultivation of “that low, modulated voice,” about which Miss West talks so much. At all hours of the day (and night) Plebian voices may be heard reciting in heart-rending tones—“Mello-o, la-la, le!” This not sufficing, an hour a week has been devoted to vocal lessons in the gymnasium. In time we expect to develop several prima donnas. But, in order that our development may not be one-sided, we have beet given something practical. Breakfasts, dinners and luncheons have been served us by our classmates. During these meals we have plenty of food for imagination. and that is the reason our daily themes have been works of art! Those daily themes—the bane of our existence! Xo one can possibly realize what wretched hours we have spent thinking thoughts. But a result has followed. We, the Plebes, are now able to compete with the Seniors. Think of it! They (the Seniors) should indeed quake when their themes are placed beside those of the Plebes. For do we not know the intricacies of the position of the comma, and do we not utterly abhor that hanging participle? To say nothing of the mastery of Chemistry, or the science of our basketball team! We are, without doubt, an exceptionally bright class! Modesty only prevents us from telling the full extent of our ability and charm, which is not fully appreciated. However, whole volumes might be filled with the recital of our great deeds, but “Happy is the people whose annals are brief!” 217 r LBBK CLASS SENIOR SKCRKTA RIALS AT WORK CLASS OF 1911 NIGHT THE present year, for the night class of 1911 of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, has passed as a smooth flowing stream that held in its depths strong, rapid currents of earnest work, lightened and hastened by gleaming surface ripples of pleasures, warm friendships formed, and gay little class meetings that will long be remembered and will serve to strengthen our love for our Alma Mater. The evenings that promised to be so long have proved to be only too short for some, and surprisingly close, the end of the term looms up, but we, unlike our comrades in the class of 1909, have a pleasant vista still ahead, and know that for two more years we shall enjoy the advantages that have but a short time been ours. The kindness of our upper classmates has been great, and still fresh in our minds is the reception tendered us shortly after our arrival, at which we were made to feel at home and to realize that we, too, were really M. M. C. S. girls and members of the family. After that, the question of getting better acquainted among ourselves arose, and we had a little “party” of our own. And what a great time we had discovering one another's names; for learn them we did, sometimes twenty or more in three minutes. 'Twas very exciting and a little strenuous, but, my, what fun. It was also at these gatherings we came to know our faculty and found that they had other roles than those of dignified instructors—one that served to increase our afTcction and respect. And the dances in the gymnasium! Who docs not remember them ? Then, the first year girls” enjoyed a pleasure forbidden at all other times; then, the boys were invited and every one danced until the lights “winked” and there was a merry scamper for wraps. Sometimes it was crowded a little and occasionally there was difficulty in persuading some one to furnish the music, but who cares when one’s partner dances divinely. After all is told, though, the real purpose of the class is to get the solid workaday knowledge that is to help us to make our homes the ideal spot we dream of. or to get that accurate knowledge that will increase our worth in the business world. This is what we are striving for, and the goal gleams brightly in the future. We sincerely trust that when, like our predecessors, we leave these sheltering halls, we shall be of greater value to the world and to ourselves in the knowledge we have gained, the friendships made and held, and, sweetest of all, the memories that shall lie like sands of gold deep buried in our hearts. 220 NIGHT CLASS OK 1911 Societies THE SENIOR BALL Committee Henrietta Alcorn, Chairman.

The decorations of the ball room were carried out in yellow and white, the class colors. The nineteen ten pennant, framed in daisies, stood out prominently among the other pennants of the Carnegie Technical Schools. The favor tables, draped in yellow and white were attractive, as were all the decorations used. The programs were bound in white leather, embossed with gold monograms. Four figures of the cotillion were danced, the leaders being Ruth Doran, Madeline Evans. Josephine Mandeville and Olive Freese. The favors, carried out in Yellow and white, for the first figure were calendars for the men and sachets for the girls; for the second, chocolate cigars and boas; for the third, book marks and valentines; and for the fourth class pennants of 1910. 'Flic grand march, led by the class president and the senior president, started at nine o’clock. Supper was served in the Japanese Tea Rooms, and the dining room was called upon to accommodate the late ones. The patronesses were: Mrs. Arthur A. I Iamerschi.ag, Miss Anna B. Smith.

The gymnasium was used as the meeting place of the ghosts of 1910 and 1911. Here they assembled, invoking the evil spirits to attack any of the faculty present, who should not “play fair during the coming school year. The gymnasium was decorated in school pennants and autumn leaves, while the witches, cats and owls on the walls, together with class colors of yellow and white, gave the darkened “gym a ghostly appearance. At one end of the room was a long table festooned with grapes and laden with Hallowe’en goodies, in the midst of which loomed up a large keg of cider—but alas! the ghosts did not partake freely of this, for the chief ghost forgot to extract the cork to allow the air to enter. This mistake, very fortunately for the Juniors who liked cider, was not discovered until the guests had retired to the deep shadows. 'Pile Plcbe ghosts came arrayed in their shrouds and were fearfully frightened when welcomed by Junior ghosts, who gave a weird dance, led by fifteen phantoms bearing candles. The grand march followed, each Junior taking a Plebc as her partner. Before dropping her mask and shroud for general dancing, each ghost in turn came forward and made a how before the judges, who sat solemnly in a row above the keg of cider. The ghost who made the most graceful bow received an excellent skeleton (a stout person made the best), and the ghost who made the most dis-graceful bow, a small ghost. Finally the ghosts separated to return to their graves in much better spirits than when they left the habitations of the unknown, to come to the world of light and frivolous affairs. The judges were: Miss Stoner, Mr. Church, Mrs. ITiir.put, Mr. Esquerre, G. M. H., To. JUNIOR PHANTOM DANCE COMMITTEE Gertrude Hartman, Chairman.

They were greatly assisted by Miss Bertha Steiner. For as soloist they sure could have chosen no finer. The musicians came in with their genius-like air, And each settled calmly hack in his chair. Thereupon the process of tuning commenced. And the audience were kept in the greatest suspense. Flit their troubles all vanished at the sound of the song Which the combs all carried so sweetly along. A double shuttle was danced by the leader. Miss Powell, As she surpassed Sousa in vim and her scowl. They played two pieces, then all withdrew To give place to a spectacle exceedingly new.

The parts were all well taken, especially good work having been done by Miss Josephine Mandeville and Miss Florence Ramlack.

THE GLEE CLUB M. M. C. S. FROM whence come those sweet, melodious strains, which have such power to soothe the savage breast ? Ah! it must lx a band of celestial angels, carol ing as they pass through the lower air. Yes, they come from angels and from a region above—commonly termed the “Gym. In my mind's eye. I can picture them now. Miss Stoner standing in front rhythmically waving a baton which could, do duty as a clothes-prop! If you try to follow what she is singing, you will be at a loss, for it is high soprano one time, second soprano another, and deep contralto a third. At the piano Bertha plays away trying to keep her eyes on Miss Stoner, the club, and her music. Helen Oursler and Lottie, Bess. Lily, and the other lofty flyers are trying hard not to hit high C. In the middle of the inspired circle, we can hear our two Janes, Olive and I lelen harmoniously carrying the air. W’liat is that low rumbling sound? Why. that is Stewarty, Ruth and Eleanor loyally supporting our seraphic band. Just now they are singing Mother Goose songs, and, simple as this may seem, the feats of vocal eloquence which they accomplish arc fearful and wonderful to hear. It has been rumored that they are to give a concert early in May, and we sin cerely hope that this will be the case. Our only fear is that it will be impossible to get a hall large enough to accommodate the enthusiastic supporters. GLEE CLUB Directress H u si ness .1 fa na ger Treasurer Miss Elizabeth R.

GLKK CLUB ATHLETICS IN a school as young as the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School athletics are not usually of great prominence. However, during the last two years they seem to have become of great importance, not only to the physical development. but also to the spiritual and mental activities. But if one wishes to enter this “Exclusive Circle.” known as Gymnastics, she must know all the defects of her genealogy, besides giving ample proof for presuming that she may have good points in her own make up—for who does not welcome the announcement— “Measurements” ? Again, each year one welcomes unique apparatus in the gymnasium, and who does not long to see what shall have dropped from the skv (oh. that it were skylight). when she returns the next year? How Seniors will miss happy surprises, such as ropes, a serpentine, or boom! But, in addition to days’ orders, vaulting and .'esthetic dancing, centerball, volleyball and tennis afford much pastime to some girls; although all will not be satisfied until field hockey has materialized. Nevertheless, basketball stands out, at present, as our most active sport; and this year—the winter of 1908-09-—it has come to be quite an important feature in the entertainments of this school, thanks to our enthusiastic instructor. 'Flic Juniors have so far been the winners, but they have worked for it. although it is the delight of their hearts to look calm and serene after the game. And then they all admit that if it were not for one lively forward of theirs they would be sadly lost. The first real game of the year was between the Seniors and Juniors, the score being 20-13 hi favor of the Junior team. It was thrilling, to say the least, as is always the first game. The last Senior-Junior game was won by the Juniors in a hot contest. 36 to 23. Early in the winter the Senior team defeated the team of Miss Gleim’s School. One of the most exciting games of the year was played between the latter school and the Juniors, in which the score was 39-13 in favor of the Juniors of M. M. C. S. The work was especially good in the center during the game. The whole school has been interested in and surprised to see the marvelous progress made by the Plebes this winter. They had an exciting game with the Seniors, who defeated them 27-12. and with Miss Gleim’s School, who also defeated them. However, they have picked up rapidly, their material having shown to the best advantage in the IMcbc-Junior game. The basketball teams extend their hearty thanks and apologies to their good natured audiences, who kept up the spirit of the games so well and never mur mured when they received an unexpected blow from the ball. 236 X.

MORRISON HALL IT was with interest and great expectations that the out-of-town girls came to their new home. “Morrison Mall, which was opened at the beginning of the school year, as the Girls' Dormitory. The “Dorm” is within walking distance of the school, and the girls have agreed that the half hour walk each morning has been beneficial. Miss irgilia I’urmort was appointed by Dean Smith as the resident teacher. She excelled as a chaperon and she won the highest esteem of each girl. There are now ten girls living at the “Dorm. who represent all the sections of the country—North. Last, South and West. Mrs. Jahn was chosen as house mother and O! the delicious dinners she has prepared. Owing to a severe illness. Miss I’urmort was obliged to leave the city for several months. During that time her place has been taken by Miss Fisher, whose companionship the girls have most enjoyed. There have been several social affairs during the year, and with the many “stunts” of the girls, the life at the “Dorm has been a strenuous one. The several clever I'lebes have often afforded moments of great pleasure to the four Seniors and one Junior, who necessarily spend much time in profound study. Morrison Hall has been a success and the same residence will be secured for next year, and it is hoped that before long a permanent building will be erected. The girls at the Dorm now are Kitty McMullen. Alice Johns, Maude Carlin, Alta I). Bcymer. Franees Kemple. Edna Atwood. Florence Flinn, Lureta Kemplc, Etlile Maltby and Anna Dowdell. A. D.

Charles, FOOT BALL ISIXG of the valiant Tech heroes who, though outweighed and having lost the majority of the games during the season, as far as comparative scores go, have yet to be defeated. Only when the white flag is run up, when all hopes have fled, and every spark of life has gone, do we l x k surrender in the face and realize our incapability to cope with the enemy; such as this has never been known in any Tech team, and so long as life remains in our bodies, just so long will we strive to place the ‘‘Tartan” upon the highest pinnacle of success. Only to one intimately connected with the team is known the great trials thru which it went, the hardships borne without a murmur, the continual struggle against heavy odds, and the practices held under the most trying circumstances. All this our laddies endured for the glory of Tech’s fair name. Early in the year the schedule was announced and one could see at a glance that some of the greatest football teams in the country were to come to Pittsburg and match their strength and skill against that of “Tech.” Their mighty names inspired no fear in our hearts, however, since we had as coach. Mr. W illiam Knox, star of the famous Vale team, assisted by Mr. H. T. R. Audc, of Colgate, and Mr. E. X. Snitzcr, of Yale. The season was opened at home on October third, against Waynesburg College. score 12-0 in favor of Tech. “Pinky” Frampton secured the honor of the fiist touchdown of the season. In the second game of the season, on October tenth, against Grove City College, things looked somewhat gloomy for Tech, 271 as a field goal was secured against her in the first half. In the second half, however, the tables were turned, and Frampton secured a touchdown after a 35-yard run. Brown kicked goal. Final score, 6-4. Captain Dowling was greatly missed in this game, as he was out with a fractured collar bone. Tech, heavily outweighed, lost the game on October seventeenth to West Virginia University, score 16-0. The playing of Hittncr was the feature of the game. The following Saturday, October 24th, Tech defeated Allegheny College, n-o. In the presence of over 6,000 rooters, Tech went down before the mighty warriors of Old Penn, 25-0. in the greatest game of the season. In the first half 19 points were scored against ns, but in the second half the team played the best game, and held Penn to one lone touchdown. In this half our boys played Old Penn to a standstll. and Head Coach Sol Metzgar, of Penn, has been quoted as saying, “Tech outplayed us in the second half.” From then on our lot was a sad one, as our players were badly crippled. On November third, election day, we met our great rival. University of Pittsburg, and had a score of 22 to o made against us. Beeken, Frampton, McCorklc and Xaismith received bad bruises. Wooster University came next on November seventh, and took us into camp to the tune of 13-6. The feature of this game was the splendid forward passing of Tech. The only game away from home, against Marietta College, at Marietta, Ohio, was lost by a score of 27-0. I11 this game Herschel had the misfortune to break his collar bone and Hittncr was laid out with a sprained ankle. Then came Case School of Applied Science, the heaviest team we played, who scalped us 30 to o. The last game of the season was on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, and for the last time our colors were lowered, this time by Washington and Jefferson, the score being 30-0. In the first half we held them 5-0. but in the second half their weight and training told against our men. To try to single out any one man and praise his work would be unfair, as our whole team did their best in every game of the season. We lose some of our best material this year by graduation, among them Captain Dowling, the foremost man in athletics in Tech. We also say goodbye to Pinky” Frampton and Indian Brown. Schmucker, of the back field, goes with “Hefty” Gaston, of the line, and “Buddy” Ramp, who played football and said nothing. We lose Patterson, commonly known as “Pat,” a strong man at end. Exit also “Buck” Thomson, our friend from the South, manager of the team for two years. 272 'I'liosc who remain with us arc: Beeken, the All-Western Pennsylvania end, McCorkle, the lightest man on the team, '•Vegetarian” Marshall. a tower of strength on the line, Xaismith, our sturdy Scotch warrior. “Musky” Wagner, at center, Hatcher, at quarter, and Hittncr, the captain-elect for the coming year, the nerviest little bunch of hone and gristle in Tech. Alan Bright will, we are con fident, fill the managerial position in a very competent manner. The coach for the coming year has not been chosen, but every endeavor is being made to secure our friend “Bill Knox, who will, we are certain, turn out a successful team for the coming season. 273 FOOTBALL TF.AM FOOTBALL SCHEDULE, 1908 October 3rd.

Cancelled BASE BALL, 1908 THE baseball season at Tech was begun in the latter part of March with about thirty-five candidates in the field. Wolfe, formerly of Gettysburg and U. of Penn., had the team in charge, and from the material on hand, selected a team that later in the season developed fast team work and played good ball. Because of the fact that we had no field at the beginning of the year, the team was greatly handicapped and did not develop as rapidly as would have been the case had the condition of things been different. It was only by the efforts of Mr. Leeds that we were finally enabled to procure grounds opposite Hotel Schenley and erect a fence and stands. Our ownership was short-lived, however. for the field was soon purchased by the Pittsburg Athletic Club. Mr. Leeds then came to the front once more and started the field back of the Margaret Morrison School which is expected to be completed in time for the first or second home game. Baseball in the year 1908 was, as a whole, a success. The first few games of the season were played with the pitchers in poor condition and we have the pleasant recollection of having West Virginia, State, and one or two other colleges beat us by large scores. With the coming of the warm weather, the “men of the box improved, and the team took a brace by winning from Waynesburg. Allegheny and Westminster. By the time State was to play on the Tech field, the team was in mid-season shape, with every man longing for a chance to make good and play just a little better than he had played in the game at State. The second game with State was not played on account of rain. The second game with Pitt proved a defeat for Tech, but we “had ’em beat until a change was made in the pitchers in the seventh inning. Burnside took the box without a “warm-up and the seventh proved to be an unlucky inning. No doubt the best game of the season was played with Case School on the Tech grounds. As Case had been beating all comers, it certainly gave us a good game. Tech, however, played just a little better that day, and came away with the victory.

Manager Sampson, 08, arranged a schedule consisting of three meets. The first was a dual meet with Western University of Pennsylvania on May 15th, which the latter won by the close score of 59 to 58. This meet was held early in the season and the manner in which the men acquitted themselves in the Intercollegiate more than made up for this defeat. On May 22d Tech won the Western University Invitation Intercollegiate by a large margin. W. U. P. was second. In this meet Captain Dowling won the individual championship by taking two firsts, 220 yd. dash, 220 yd. hurdles; a second in the 120 yd. hurdles, and third in the 100 yd. dash, making a total of 15 points. Guy Ilalferty, '09, won the 120 yd. hurdles, took second in the too yd. dash, and third in the 220 yd. dash. I I. E. Ross, ’io, won the 440 yd. dash, while Y. C. Bates, ’09, won the half mile, and Wylie, 10. won the two mile event. P. J. Shoop, ’io, won the pole vault and A. L. Griffiths won both jumps. Tech also won the mile relay race in this meet, the team being composed of Ilalferty, Charles, 1 Iosey and Ross. On June 6th the team won a great victory in the Western Penna. Intercollegiate A. A. games at Conneaut Lake. Allegheny College was second, W. J. third, Geneva fourth. Grove City College fifth and Westminster sixth. Ilalferty carried off individual honors in this meet, winning both hurdles and taking two seconds, making a total of 16 points for Tech. Capt. Dowling won the 100 yd. dash, was second in both hurdles and took third in the 220 yd. dash, getting 13 points. I Iosey ran a dead heat with Crossman, of Allegheny, in the 440 yd. dash, in the splendid time of 51 2 5 seconds. Bates won the half mile and took second in the mile, while Griffiths and Hatch tied for first in the high jump at 5 ft. 5 in. The relay team won first place, running the mile in 3 min. 43 sec., which was excellent time considering the fact that each of the four men, Ross, Charles, Bates and I Iosey. had competed in other events. On June 20th Tech entered the Pittsburg Press meet held on Schcnlcy oval and again showed its superiority by walking away with the championship and a fine cup. In this meet Guy Ilalferty won the individual championship, which also brought with it a silver cup. All in all the second season of track athletics proved a great success, and Capt. Dowling and Coach Thompson, as well as the entire team, deserve much praise. Dowling has been re-elected captain and R. W. Light, ’io, elected manager. The team is preparing for a hard and. we hope, successful season. 2S1 RELAY TEAM 1908. On April 25. 1908, the pioneer relay team of Tech, led by Coach Thompson and Capt. Dowling, ran in the University of Pennsylvania’s Relay Games on Franklin Field, Philadelphia. The way our men walked away from their opponents was a shame. 1 Ialferty took the lead, and Charles, Ross and Dowling maintained it throughout the entire mile. The time was 3 minutes 36 seconds, but would, no doubt, have been several seconds faster had our men been pushed. To this team belongs the glory, not only of being the first ‘Varsity Relay team, but of having registered another victory over our rivals. Y. U. P. and W. J. It is this victory that really spurred the track team on to winning the championship later in the season. 2S2 CAPTAIN DOWLINIi RECORDS Meet Event Name Time W. 1 .

J BASKRTIiALL TKAM RESUME OF THE BASKET BALL SEASON THE basketball season of the past year, during which Carnegie Tech first entered actively into the Intercollegiate basketball world, was a most encouraging one. Beginning the season with an inexperienced team, entering for the first time the Western Intercollegiate League and playing at all times only the most representative college teams—with such factors to overcome, the showing of Tech was brilliant. The successes far outshine the failures and the final results were exceedingly gratifying to every loyal Tech supporter. The outcome of the past season argues well for Tech’s supremacy in this branch of collegiate sport in future years. At the opening of the season Manager Ralph Coldren, being handicapped by a late appointment to this office, experienced the greatest difficulty in the arranging of a schedule. The fruits of his work are well seen by a glance at the calibre and standing of the teams played. The development of the team was left entirely in the hands of the coach, Mr. John A. Schaefi'er, and the problem facing him was not an easy one. It meant the building up of a team with only Captain Lecty and Harrison, regulars of last year’s team, as a nucleus. Agnew, a substitute of the previous year, showed rapid development and proved that he could be relied upon at all times. The new material shone splendidly in the players—Brown, Casey. Williams and Dolan. These seven men finally formed the squad and bore well the brunt of the entire season’s work. Playing clean, consistent ball at all times, they brought Tech rapidly to the front in basketball. The season opened with Tech meeting the Intercollegiate champions of the past three years—the University of Pennsylvania Five. Though still undeveloped and inexperienced, Tech fought every minute of the time, and not until the last whistle blew for the close of play did the Quaker University have a victory It was indeed an auspicious opening for a successful season. Only two weeks after this game, the Western Intercollegiate League opened its season and Tech early demonstrated that she was among the leaders by winning the first four games played. Possibly the most brilliant game of the season was the one played at Beaver Falls, where Tech swamped Geneva College, shutting them out in the entire first half without a point being scored. This feat has seldom been equaled. The final results of this fight for the pennant found Tech tied for second place. 'Flic championship was won by Allegheny College, whose success in this branch of sport has been phenomenal. To share second place in this race during the first year of real activity reflects only credit on the team’s work. 285 During the season the squad journeyed among eastern colleges, playing Lehigh University, Buckncll University, and Juniata College. It was Tech’s first appearance in the East and the meetings and relations were cordial and friendly throughout. The team’s work during the trip was far above the average, and though one victory only was secured, the games where defeat was suffered were lost only by narrow margins. The one thing clearly demonstrated was that Tech is a welcome and much desired opponent among the leading colleges and universities of the East. To no one person can undue credit be given for the season’s success. The coaches and players working together in harmony showed that Tech had ample reasons for entering the basketball field. Although all the games were not victories, the results of the season as a whole were far better than the most sanguine supporters had hoped, and with the knowledge and experience gained during the past season. Tech's success in the future of this sport should be assured. The spirit and feeling engendered can only work advantageously in the seasons which are to come. 2S6 -HOCKEY. TlIE hockey season this year has been the most successful in the history of the schools. Besides winning the collegiate championship of Western Pennsylvania. we defeated two of the best college teams from the East, namely. University of Pennsylvania and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. We also took a trip to Cleveland, Ohio, during Christmas week, and played three exhibition games with the teams of that city. Although greatly outweighed by all teams there, and notwithstanding the handicap of playing in a strange rink, we won one game and made a good light for the other two. Captain Mason. Charles and Bright played in their last year’s form, and the new men showed up well, especially Hittncr, who. with Dornberger. made what was considered by local authorities the best amateur defense in local hockey circles. Cocken, our last year’s star point, was not able to play this year on account of a badly cut hand, received early in the season. Lectv, who put up such a sensational game at goal last year, was not able to participate in many of the games this year, as lie is captain of the basketball team. 11 is position was very ably fdled by Minnemcyer, who is better known by his good work in football and roller hockey. Lowe and Close divided honors on the forward line when Brown was out of the game. 2S7 HOCKEY TEAM HOCKEY GAMES PLAYED AT PITTSBURG University of Pittsburg . i Tech . i R. P. I i Tech .... 1 R. P.

Tech ?Sq y WILD TEACHERS I HAVE KNOWN. We have an Instructor called Hoke Who frequently tells us a “dyokc.” It is hard to “versteh” What he means for to say When he asks for a piece of “soft scholk.” There’s also a Prof, we call Crabby. Who ne’er lets his muscles get flabby. At playing baseball l ie's the peer of them all. And at tennis he’s perfectly “happy.” And then there’s the one we named 1 lap. For a lady he once set his cap: He’s engaged now—what bliss! Well, our chief wish is this: “We hope that you never will scrap.” 290 We musn’t forget our Doc. Sill: lie teaches us Chem. with a will. In lectures he walks All the time that he talks— Why, I think he can never keep still. The next one in line is our Pfouts, Though he wears a perpetual grouch, (That’s an awful bum rhyme Please forgive me this time) Still he is the prince of ‘‘good scouts.” And here is our famous Dean Lcctc; lie’s awfully quick on his feet, lie can curve a baseball ‘Round the bend in the hall— He sure is a hard man to beat. And then there’s a man we call Sproull, He’s wiser than any old owl— Knows more than enough About engines and stuff. His face wears a smile, not a scowl. Why, here is our Willibald Trinks; In Lambdas and Gamma’s he thinks. What he doesn’t know ’Bout what makes things go Is certainly not worth two winks. And here’s Alexander J. Wurts, Who ne’er with stenographers flirts. He teaches the stuff That is terribly tough And when he hands flunks out it hurts. The whiskers we find upon Thayer Are to filter the line of hot air About trusses and beams That he constantly screams Must always be figured with care. 291 And now we have Samuel Keller Who sure is a crackcrjack feller. On the Faculty team At third base he's a dream. And at teaching us Math, he’s a—dandy. “Map’s” sidepartner, H. Leland Lowe Is a shark in the Heat line, you know. His cute B. T. U.’s Never fail to amuse. And the Calories finish the show. Prof. Hokanson orders Borschneck out of the room. (Borsch vigorously denies any intention of wrong-doing). Prof. Hokanson—This time will I forgive you. Mr. Borschneck. but only for your age. Prof. Hokanson—Can anyone tell me how can we make a concrete tank waterproof? (“Rowdy” Burgam raises the usual “rough house” in the back row). Prof. Hokanson—Perhaps we will let Mr. Burgam hold an umbrella over it. Prof. Frazer, Math.—We deal with three-sided triangles. Prof. Hokanson. Materials—We, so to say, (pause) so to say, (pause) so to say, (pause) Who knows? Prof. Gibbs—The horizontal line connecting these two is about level. Prof. Keller—A man would sooner work one day at $i a day, than not work at all at $2.50 a day. Averbach (1913) (after proposal of signatures to class constitution)—Why not call the names alphabetically? (Voice from rear) “Averbach.” Before There arc meters of accent And meters of tone, But the best of all meters Is to meet her alone! After There are letters of accent, And letters of tone, But the best of all letters Is to let her alone! 292 AN APPLICATION OF QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS To a class containing Trivaliant Juniors, introduce a stiff schedule. A precipitate of Sophomores will occur. By letting stand some time and introducing a faculty meeting, some more will come down. To the precipitate add a dilute solution of faculty hot air. Insoluble residue, Sophomores. In solution, Plebes. Buck Wallace, of the Sophomore Electricals, nearly fell into the grind box, and only escaped because he was too broad-minded. ODE TO OUR FOUNDER (With apologies to Bobby Burns) Although in the direst poverty, We come to Tech, for a’ that, For Andy is sure that a man tho poor Can really have brains for a’ that. For a’ that and a’ that, Our tools obscure and a’ that, We are the men that really ken That a man’s a man for a’ that. What tho on hamely fare we dine Wear old patched clothes and a’ that, Andy knows that perforated hose Can be worn by a man, for a’ that. For a’ that and a that We will get there for a’ that A two by four room and hash is a boon To the man that’s a man for a that. Prof. (In Chemistry)—Schmitt, have you ever seen Acetelyne gas? Schmitt ’13—No. What does it look like? Prof—I don’t know. It smells. Go up and make some on the board. There was a young Jap, Miyasaki, With his hydrogen bottle grew cocky. He gave it a light. It went up out of sight, And turned our hero quite chalky. 293 STATISTICS Name Occasionally Called Occupation Politics Pet Ailment Hiohest Ambition Greatest Need Dotty Felkel Bomb manufacturer Anarchist Loss of speech To have a girl A job Lindy Lindcrinun Chauffeur Militarist Gusolinitis To own a hank Tin swonl Heff Gaston Fusser Mugwump “Priming in Boiler To he an editor Assistant engineer Unite Horton Cemetery engineer Anti-Hverything Skinned nose To be “a actor” Anti-Fat I'niry IteinarU Pluggcr Tory Sleeplessness To lie “real tough Midnight oil Tsoi Sellncr Hobo Socialist Overwork To he a retired capitalist New pipe Tubby Jamieson Moosieker Expansionist Tired feeling To write another Newport Anti-Lean Jo-Jo Wilson Saint Too young Fatty degeneration To take honors Spanking Shell McCloy ???!!!

Some crossed the main from sunny Spain (With Columbus crew, perchance.) Some hunted frogs in Erin’s bogs Or browsed on Scotland’s heather. And with the man from fair Japan, We were all Plcbcs together. We rallied on the battlefield And all the town could bear The thud of bones upon the stones Or first upon the car. “We know what makes the dynamo go,” And the tensile strengt’ of leather.

TOAST FROM 1910. Here’s to our Alma Mater— Red. Yellow, Green, and Blue; I lere’s to our corps of teachers— The Faculty faithful and true; I lerc’s to the stately Seniors— May they ever have success; Here's to the gay young Plebes, May they ever do their best; But here's to the class of classes— The Class of 1910! F. G. K. English Teacher— Can any one give ipe an example of a paradox?” Student—“Common Sense.” Teacher— I do not understand.” Student— It isn’t common. There was a young lady named Glenn. Very agile with pencil and pen. But the things that she wrote I’d rather not quote, We hope she won’t do it again! 305 We are still trying to fathom just what Boyer meant by a remark he made the other day, in the Atelier. We were discussing the withdrawal from school of a former classmate, when B. said: “Oh, he is married—he married a widow, TOO.” Miss Arrowsmith—“Miss Redenbaugh, is there such a word as ‘lessly’?” Miss Redenbaugh (absent-mindedly)—“Leslie?” Miss Munson—“Girls, don’t leave the table in this state.” Brilliant Plebe—“Of course not, we’ll send it to Maryland.” 'I'he night before to study, y The wee sma' hours to cram.

Started in on poor Miss Moore, Swore she’d rats and puffs galore. We don't think it can be so, But Little Hiram ought to know. 307 Started out to practice shootin Fired a rubber-band at Bruton, Shot him right square in the eye. Don't you think his aim is high ? Set poor Noble clear distracted, With the way that he has acted. Using language not polite. But then, Hiram thinks it’s bright. Tho' he tried to scare Miss Glenn— Said he'd put her in the pen If she didn't sell some books— 1 le ain’t as bold as what he looks. Hot quite scrappy—tried to fight— Clinched with Boyer ’tother night; Tho’ knocked out lie wouldn’t die. You can’t phase our little 1 li. Tried to choke poor Mrs. L. When his name she tried to spell, Thought it was malicious slander, Oh, you Hiram Alexander! When Israeli comes in sight, 1 liram ducks with all his might, Says lie’s scared of Iz .y’s kicks, But that’s one of Hiram’s tricks. Thinks lie’s something of a fighter, Tried to murder our typewriter, Used one finger on each hand, I liram's speed was something grand ! Hiram’s played us tricks galore, But we’ve never gotten sore, Now we feel that we have scored For the entire Thistle Board. 308 Anna M. Ijxdsey. BOOK OF ACTS SEPTEMBER. 1908. Tuesday, 15th.
