Remember that the strife and struggle to reach the goal is strengthening your character and training you for the worlds work that awaits you. There is no top rung to the ladder of knowledge and learning; each ascent but broadens the vision and gives zest to the climb. Count that year lost in which you have not made the attempt to raise yourself higher. Count that day worth while in which your courage rises to combat obstacles. On the eve of my departure for the Mediterranean, I am convinced that no matter how earnestly and faithfully the Faculties may strive to help you on your quest, you will not attain to your desires unless this spirit actuates and influences you from term to term. I go away for rest and health; I shall return eager to greet you all in the early Spring, and to join you in the tide which carries us to the golden days of the year, when we graduate annually those who are to render service while making their careers. Very sincerely your friend, (Signed) ARTHUR ARTON HAMERSCHLAG. BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTE. W. N. FREW, President. HON. J. D. SHAFER, Vice-President. S. H. CHURCH, Secretary. HON. J.

Almost all of the features desired by the Board of Editors had to be foregone in order that the volume might pay for itself. If it does this and proves better than any of the earlier numbers, we have achieved success. It is with this dual purpose in mind that we present the fifth volume of “THE THISTLE”.

APPLIED DESIGN DAY. HISTORY. Many interesting and entirely unusual events have taken place in the School of Applied Design since the publication of the “Thistle” for the year 1909. A new course of study has been added, and many more students enrolled. By the consistently good work of all the departments, and especially that of the Architects, the reputation and prestige of the School has been spread broadcast over the United States. The Beaux-Arts Society competitions, practically unknown in Pittsburgh until Carnegie Tech began to make the best showing as a competitor, have furnished the means of bringing the most of this about. Were the work of the School of Applied Design purely a local affair, judged by the faculty and made the subject of the accompanying limited criticism, any name for good work would be as local as the jury that judged it. The converse is true, and in the Society of Beaux-Arts we find the means of constant competition with practically all of the large Architectural Schools and Ateliers in the country. Then, good work is very good work. The only chance afforded the Departments of Interior Decoration and Illustration to display any of their work to the interested public was when a limited and selected amount of it was placed on exhibition with architectural problems in the exhibition given in the Institute Galleries by the Pittsburgh Architectural Club. We hope they will be accorded an opportunity in the near future of matching up their work with that done elsewhere. Affairs gay and festive, have by no means been slighted. The annual Patrons’ Dinner given by the night men in honor of Mr. Henry Hornbostel, Dean, was held at Donegal Inn. This gathering is the one big affair of the year. One of its features is the announcement of the winner of the Patron’s Prize which this time fell to Wm. F. Burkhart. The annual baseball game between the night and day students was played on this memorable occasion. At the first of the year came the good news that Dr. Schap-per had been chosen as a member of the Faculty. The first event of a social nature was the smoker given by the upper day classmen on November 8, that the Plebes might be started in the way they should go. Coach Snitjer, of the Football Team, gave a talk on the work ahead of the team, and later in the evening Mr. Hornbostel announced that he would give the Patron’s Prize this year provided that the students would get up a minstrel show within two weeks and realize something for the benefit of the football team. Arrangements for the revel of music and song were begun the next day with E. Morrow Sheppard as the main gizink. With the support and aid of all the students, rehearsals were conducted daily, and the construction of a practical stage in the upper draughting room commenced. For many hours gangs worked piling up tables for a foundation, laying boards for the floor, and erecting borrowed scenery to make the arrangements complete. Members of the A. J. Faculty materially aided by doing carpenter and electric work. The black face song and dance artists won the hearty applause of the large audience, and the Minstrel Show was a thing of the past. The first “Charette” was the week of October 25, and proved to be a humdinger. As usual everything was put off until the last minute and then rushed. Many little luncheon parties could be seen about the draughting rooms at 2 A. M., enjoying a repast by the light of candles. The year has meant much in every way. Let us hope to see the School of Applied Design quartered in its own building by the time THE THISTLE next appears. DAY SOWIOMORK CLASS.

Perchance, Gentle Reader, you have heard of the Joys of Spring. Spring in the Country, a Glorious Symphony in Greens and Blues. Spring in the City, where the Sign of the Goat beckons from behind the Swinging Doors. Spring, when Italian Ladies cut the Greens from out Our Lawns, and the Voice of the Poet is heard in the Land. But have You, Gentle Reader, as You may have wandered from Rigi to King, from Archie to Rags, gazing with Wonder and Envy at the Works of their Well Trained Fingers, have You, I ask, heard of the Greatest Joy of Spring, the Mere Thought of which wakes the Drowsiest Draughtsman from his Winter’s Lethargy as would a tack placed on his Stool by an Office Boy Mischievous, the Mere Mention of which brings a Smile to even Griffith’s Face and maketh Ally to break into Song? Say You have. For only those Who are as the Ancient Mummies of Egypt have not heard of the Annual Patron’s Dinner, dedicated to Our Most Noble Horny and executed by Your Most Humble Servants, We’uns. Oodles of Joy! Hans Wagner outdone! Bacchus triumphant! To say it is a Feast of Reason and Flow of Soul would be a far too Prosaic Description of this most Epicurean, Bacchanalian, Appolyonic Shindig, where Medals are distributed to the Fleet of Foot, where Speeches are made anent the Growth of Art and Culture throughout the Land, where the Burden of the Weary Draughtsman is forgotten in the Soft Strains of “Yip—Ay—Addy”, and where most Marvelous Posters by Sparks in Fiery Reds and Gold adorn the Walls of Donegal. The Chariot Race about the Tables filled to overflowing with all the delicate Viands of a Hemisphere, done to the solemn chant of “She Had a Yellow Ribbon”; the more picturesque and artistic Snake-Dance about the guilded banquet Hall, stirs the Blood, quickens the imagination, makes the Lucky Mortals forget the existence of a ball called Earth. All of the myriads of Stars and Moons and Comets pause in wonderment at the newest blaze of Glory appearing so suddenly in their midst, and watch as the Signs of Brilliancy and the Effervescent and Scintillating Shots and Beams of Wit strike a High and Mighty Note. Then the Lights in the Hall grow dim and flicker, and as the Wonder Sounds subside leaving the surrounding countryside to the Crickets and Natives. It is a sleepy-eyed Aggregation that assembles in the Paradise of the Aesthetic to greet the following days with hushed reminiscences and a longing for the next Patron’s Dinner.

CARNEGIE TECHNICAL SCHOOLS. EXPERIMENT NO. 3. TITLE—Production of Technical Graduates in Three Years. NAME—A. A. Hamerschlag. PARTNERS’ NAMES—J. H. Leete, W. E. Mott, J. H. James, F. Crabtree, A. J. Wurts, and W. Trinks. DATE ASSIGNED—September 21, 1907. COMPLETED—June 15, 1910. 1. PURPOSE—To produce in three years a class of full-fledged Technical Graduates from the crude material “Plebite”. 2. APPARATUS—Offices and designing rooms for the production of instructions and specifications. Pattern shop, foundry, forge, and machine shop for the preliminary shaping and treatment of material. Lecture and recitation rooms for various refining treatments by means of calculus, mechanics, economics, and other “dry processes”. Laboratory equipment for subjecting the material to the influences of heat, light, electricity, and chemical action. Rooms in which to design and construct necessary reinforced concrete, girders, and trusses to support portions of material naturally inclined to dwell thereupon. Mechanical apparatus for subjecting material to the forces of kinematics and thermo-dynamics. 3. THEORY—By a series of complicated and mysterious processes which collectively labor under the name of “technical education”, it is possible to develop from the crude output of various institutions, known as high and preparatory schools, a product which is put on the market under the trade name of Technical Graduates. A more detailed explanation of the numerous operations may be found in any good reference book on the subject, for example the catalogue of the Carnegie Technical Schools. 4. METHOD OF PROCEDURE Procure a somewhat larger amount of the crude material than was to be used and selected from it the more promising portions by means of a device known as “entrance examinations”. Put chosen batch of “plebite through the foundry and shops as per specifications. Some of it was sorted out during the process. At the end of the first year a considerable amount of the partially refined product was rejected, while another portion was set aside for the 19 n output. During the second year the various parts were treated with calculus, German, economics, mechanics and other influences as specified in the directions. At various stages of the operations some of the material was rejected at the advice of the instructors. In the third year the different groups were treated according to specifications with the processes fitting them for their final places in the finished product. During this period none of the parts were rejected. 5. DATA AND RESULTS— Original amount of plebite taken.........144 parts. Loss during first year................... 30 parts. Amount set aside for 1911 .............. 72 parts. Amount at beginning of second year....... 42 parts. Loss during second year.................. 14 parts. Amount at beginning of third year........ 28 parts. Loss during third year................... 00 parts. FINAL OUTPUT............................. 28 parts. Output 28 Numerical Efficiency —-----------== = 19.5 . Input 144 6. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS—The investigation has been very interesting and has afforded much valuable data. The present product has been thoroughly tested and is entirely satisfactory. However, it will be noted that the numerical efficiency is low. This is due to the severity of the various processes, the material often being unable to withstand the sudden shocks and strains. As a result of the observations made, it seems advisable to prolong the period of production over four instead of three years and so be able to lessen the severity of the individual operations.

It must be admitted that the activities of the 1910 Night Class during the fifth year were confined to the imbibing of knowledge useful to young engineers, to the utter exclusion of things social. In order to make a short story long, it therefore seems necessary to refer briefly to events of former years. The first two years were chiefly remarkable for the spirited class meetings that were held, at which our natural born orators and others discussed parliamentary law. Great stress had been laid upon the desirability of cultivating class spirit, which somehow took the form of wild enthusiasm for class yells and other allied phenomena. It is worthy of note that though these outward manifestations have been less apparent during the later years, a feeling of unity and good fellowship has grown. The third and fourth years were seasons of hard work and late hours, the conspicuous events being an occasional smoker and the popular banquet held at the close of each year. During this period there was a sad falling off in the membership, many of the former enthusiasts having decided that sundry other lines of endeavor required less mental strain and promised more immediate returns. Tribute must be paid, however, to those who though not lacking in ability and ambition, were forced to droo out by reason of physical breakdown, stress of business, and last (but not least) newly acquired domestic responsibilities. Recollections of fourth year fatalities caused the greetings at the beginning of the fifth year to be somewhat subdued. Herron, with some difficulty, gathered together the remains of the class and delivered his farewell address in those stentorian tones that had become so familiar, expressing himself as being most anxious, to assist in passing on the burden of official responsibilities to other shoulders. David Kerr Reid was unanimously chosen for class president. He had always been popular, and besides, like a true Scotchman, he got on the job early. Brown consented gracefully to represent the class in case of accident, and Culbertson was elected to the office of secretary and treasurer—he had always been something, and seemed anxious. The duties of historian were foisted upon the writer through a conspiracy on the part of certain of his false friends, whose names are purposely withheld. From the close of the first class meeting until near the end of the school year, the most exciting, and we might add, exacting duty of the class officials was the pursuit of the elusive dollars to be tossed into the bottomless treasure chest of the Athletic Association. It is rumored that on one or two occasions the president made an effort to hold a class meeting, but it seems that through his neglect to guard all the doors and windows, his efforts were unavailing. His lack of success was but an indication of that remarkable devotion to duty, which, perhaps, had not been so apparent in former years, except for the few weeks immediately preceding final examinations. At the approach of the Easter vacation, however, under the pretense of important class business to be considered, a quite respectable number of the members were congregated in one of the lecture rooms. Reid thoughtfully locked the door and took up a collection for running expenses. This business having been successfully disposed of, real old-time enthusiasm was aroused in a discussion which followed relative to the festive affairs connected with graduation. Dibble made a speech which sounded like an extract from one of his text books on Metallurgy, but which somehow conveyed the impression that he was in favor of holding a class banquet in place of the usual commencement exercises, and having our diplomas mailed to us. It was finally decided to leave the matter entirely in the capable hands of the president for final arrangements. The writer regrets that he can only predict the success with which these affairs will be carried through. It is certain, however, that underneath the feeling of pride in the work accomplished, and relief from the strenuous life of five years of night work, there will be honest regret at the severance of ties that have grown dear to all. In conclusion, since it is the privilege of the historian to predict, only good fortune can fall to the lot of the devoted few who have had the ambition, the courage, and net least of all, the physical strength to carry them through to graduation in 1910 from the Carnegie Technical Night School of Applied Science.

SS. vvjcv.. r j„j,« stmt ..- JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. “Still achieving, still pursuing” and so it is with the Junior Class—the history of the last year may be summed up in these few words. What we have achieved may not be very awe inspiring or wonderful, yet each member has been slowly and faithfully climbing upward, day by day, benefiting himself and his Alma-Mater. The pranks of former years have disappeared and history pictures a group more earnest and industrious than ever before. Some members have gained honor and glory through their faithful and untiring services to Carnegie Tech. The class being small, has not been able to accomplish a great deal as a group, but the individual work and support has been helpful to the welfare of the social and athletic affairs of the Schools. At the opening of the school year, many familiar faces were missing. A few returned as the year progressed but the majority entered into the world to seek their fortunes. The last of the belated to return was Theron Wasson—the noted Anti-Mutt Leader and Sage of Mawhinney street. Wasson brought with him many “near” jokes and a few rattlesnake’s skins with which he illustrated his lecture—“Rattle Snakes I have met.” After all the greetings and summer stories had been passed around, things had gradually subsided to a normal condition and the election of officers for the first term was held with the following result:— G. A. BELL, President. C. C. COLWELL, Vice President. ALAN BRIGHT, Secretary and Treasurer. H. J. McCORKLE, Athletic Representative. R. B. WALLACE, Tartan. Much credit and thanks is due President Bell for his unceasing interest and services in class and school.. Through his guidance and efforts the Junior Promenade and The Thistle work was successfully organized and started. The football team with our own Alan Bright as manager, enjoyed the most successful season of any of Tech’s gridiron bands making a name for themselves because of their excellent form and condition. This of course was due to BRIGHT management. In connection with the success of the football team we cannot forget H. J . McCorkle, for as captain of the Scrubs “Texas” maintained an organization full of ginger and willingness to take the drubbing which they invariably experienced at the hands of the varsity. During the hockey season, Bright again loomed into prominence playing his usual hard consistent game which helped the team make the showing and record which they well deserved. The end of the term came almost before anyone realized it and brought the exams which everyone dreaded. However these were successfully passed—not a man falling by the wayside. Then the election of officers for the second term awakened the class to a sense of duty and good citizenship. Again the class showed their faith in Bell, re-electing him president. He immediately resigned and another president was not elected—this left the reins of class control to the following men:— THERON WASSON, Vice President. R M. KENNEDY, Secretary and Treasurer. J. H. WAXMAN, Tartan. With much sorrow we now turn to a dark page in our history. Alfred P. Follansbee, of Cleveland, O., a good fellow, faithful and true to class and school, was suddenly stricken with deadly pneumonia and lived but a few days. President Bell appointed a committee to take action upon this deeply regretted and sorrowful event. Now we come to the crowning event of the school year, the Junior Promenade. The Prom was held at the Rittenhouse on the evening of February 21st and the “early” morning of the 22nd. It stands out as a brilliant event never to be forgotten by any who attended. To the class of 1911 belongs the honor and distinction of having the first real Junior Promenade—only upper classmen, alumni and faculty of the Science and Design Schools being present. Thanks are due all those who helped to make it the success it was. So, another year has passed and we are “still achieving, still pursuing” and may we do so always for the Honor, Glory and Renown of the Class of 1911. RITCHIE LAWRIE, Jr. NIGHT JUNIOR CLASS. THE HISTORY OF THE APPLIED SCIENCE NIGHT CLASS OF 1911. As individuals, the members of the Class of ign, are not superstitious; but 19n as a class, at the first of the school term, strongly believed in a “hoodoo”,—namely the fate of all former class officers. When we were “rounded up” in October for our fourth year it was noticed that of all the officers of the three' former years, not one was left. After a while it was recalled that C. H. McCall was the only “old” officer who could say “here” at roll call. We then took courage, held a meeting and elected officers. As a starter, H. T. Woods was made the Taft of our class—and he looks the part. We always put Woods to the front—if he isn't already there—when something momentous is to be undertaken or said. J. L. Williams drew the Vice President’s berth. As an honor to the only “veteran” officer—C. H. McCall,—he was made a double officer—secretary and treasurer. The offiice of Class Historian was “kindly” conferred upon E. C. Elliott. W. L. Munk was elected High Grand Marshal,—and he has been on the job all the time, attending to the “regulating of heating and ventilation of the car”—no, rooms, and making himself useful generally. The next most important event was a smoker—The Smoker of the year—given by 1911 for the benefit of the Foot Ball Team. It was held on the last night of school before Christmas—certainly a good starter for the Holiday Season. RecQrd, to date, indicates that there will be no more hoodoos, and it is to be hoped that in our fifth year it will be said, “If you want to finish the year for a certainty—run for office—any office.” If necessary we will make enough offices to go around the whole class. On account of Mr. Carnegie’s visit, the Easter vacation was shifted forward a week; because of this change our banquet, which was scheduled for the 31st of March, had to be postponed—therefore it cannot be described now. However, there is no doubt that a supplement to the Thistle will be printed later telling all about the 1911 Banquet. E. C. E. 1911 NIGHT SMOKER. TTTT On the evening of December 17, 1909, a smoker was held under the auspices of the Night Class of 1911 for the benefit ol the Football Team. Every one present can testify to the affair’s suitability as a windup of the old year and a starter for the Christmas Holidays and New Year. There were plenty of pipes, bags of tobacco, boxes of matches, tobies to burn and cakes. All went quickly into and around the crowd that packed the Assembly Room. Dr. Hamerschlag could not be present, as he at first intended, owing to sickness. Mr. Williams read a short note from the Director in which he wished all present a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Dean Connelly, of the Trade Schools came in his stead, as the Faculty representative. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs gave a fine exhibition of their work—a sample of what was to follow at their concert in January. The Club deserves much credit for its generosity. Young Mr. Smith—a friend of our Vice President’s—added much to the evening’s enjoyment by his solos. One of the treats of the evening was the pictures, illustrated lecture or descriptive picture exhibit, as you please—by Dean Connelly. It was an impromptu affair on the Dean’s part, but he held up his end of the “act”. Things were moving along so smoothly and everybody was enjoying himself so, that arrangements were made in a hurry to have the lights kept going after the usual blinking time. When the last tobie had become a stump and the last pipe had gone out, there closed the best paying smoker of the year. In enjoy ment and receipts, it was a record breaker. DAY SOI'HOMOUK CLASS.

After the Inventor’s Society had died a natural death (Doctor’s verdict, “marasmus senilis’’) it was with considerable difficulty that another society among the patrons and frequenters of Machinery Hall was organized in 1909. The success of the season was a smoker held at the German Club, on Craft Avenue. One of our aims was to become affiliated with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; but we were unsuccessful in our attempts. In spite of this disappointment oar society has managed to hold its own. Meetings were held regularly, papers read, tobacco smoked, sandwiches and ice cream consumed and the discussions on engineering problems were interesting. Still one phase of student life is lacking, for we are not getting together. Since a society is known by its meetings, a list of the topics is appropriate. Some of those claiming attention were discussed by J. C. Sproul—Threshing Machinery. Thomas McGraw—A new type of Boiler. C. S. Jones—Blast Furnaces. S. E. Ward—Gas Producers. J. C. W. Greth—The selection of a Boiler Feed Water. A debate—“Resolved that the shop offers greater opportunities to a young engineer than the drawing room’’—was a great success and this feature will probably become a permanent one. The speakers were: Affirmative—E. F. Noonan, J. I. Williams, J. K. Reed, W. L. Monk. Negative—D. K. Reid, J. W. Considine, E. C. Danner, C. A. McCollum. Judges: K. H. Helm, H. C. Barchfeld and H. T. Woods. •axwidos oxi i:i: inio ’3 'iiaid CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY. 'fr'fr'M The fourth year of the Civil Engineering Society, which was organized in 1906, has been a very successful one, and of much benefit to its members, as the subjects discussed at the meetings dealt with practical engineering problems. Of these, the ones discussed by Mr. P. L. Reed and by Mr. E. K. Morse, a prominent Pittsburgh engineer, were especially interesting. Mr. Reed gave a detailed account of the building of a stone arch bridge, in connection with which he mentioned some of the difficulties which the engineer sometimes encounters in dealing with the contractor. Mr. Morse gave a lecture, illustrated by lantern slides, on the building of the Hawksbury Bridge, in Australia, pointing out the mistakes which had been made during the process of construction. This bridge was the first one to be built by American Engineers on foreign soil. At other meetings, Prof. Willett gave a talk on Railroad Monopolies, and Mr. Baker, a night student, gave a very interesting, illustrated description of the Battle of Santiago. The officers of the society, elected for the first semester, were:— C. J. JOHNSON, President. H. WITTE, Vice President. C. C. COLWELL, Secretary. W. F. GLASSER, Treasurer. The officers for the second semester are: J. L. ELLIOTT, President. G. A. BELL, Vice President. W. A. DITTMAN, Secretary. W. F. GLASSER, Treasurer. curcim.K club. CRUCIBLE CLUB. Officers. Ray V.

MHO CLUB. • o(o by JohmhiH Studto THE MHO CLUB. Organized March 6, 1908. 4.4.4.4. The organization of the MHO CLUB was the result of persistent efforts of the 1909 Electrical Class to form a society for the promotion of good fellowship, development of athletics, and the discussion of electrical subjects. One of the most active in the organization of the club was D. W. Patterson, who was elected its first President. During the first year, the club was most successful in the promotion of good fellowship among the students and in attaining the leadership of the various societies in athletics. At the beginning of the year 1909-10, club athletics and good fellowship being well established features, it was decided to put forth more effort toward the educational affairs of the club. These affairs include not only addresses by non-members, but also the preparation, delivery and discussion of papers by the club members. To encourage the preparation of original papers, the club offered a prize for the best paper presented during the year. Seeing great possibilities in this phase of the club’s activity. Prof. Wurts offered another prize, in the form of a cup, for the best discussion of any of the papers presented during the year. Several good papers have been delivered and discussed this year and it will be very difficult for the judges to decide to whom the prizes should be given. At the first meeting of the year, it was decided to change the time of meeting to the second Wednesday of each month, so as to enable the night men to attend without interfering with their scheduled classes. Although this was the only night during the week when the night men had no classes, yet several of them decided to devote one night a month to the club. The development along educational lines has been greatly benefited by the addition of the night men to the membership and it is hoped that in the future many more of them will join the mighty band. The MHO CLUB has had a very succesfsul year and from present indications it will continue to be one of the strongest and most active organizations of The Carnegie Technical Schools.

KURZ, Treasurer. ERSKIN, Secretary. McCAFFREY, “Tartan” Representative. HECK, Class Historian. BLANCHARD, Football Manager. VANCE, Basketball Manager. The question of Athletics was taken up, and it was agreed that we do as had been the custom in the preceding years; that is, that the first and second year classmen unite and have an All-Industrial team. This united the two classes in a way whic could not have been accomplished otherwise. Upon returning to our studies, after the holiday recess, we elected the following officers for the final term: JOHNS, President. ERSKIN, Secretary. KURZ, Treasurer. JOHNS, MINNEMEYER, and KURZ, Representatives on the “Thistle” Board. About this time there were many clubs formed in the Industrial School, the most popular of which is the “Tech” Mechanics’ Club. Among the many social events of the year was the smoker held by the upper classmen, which was more than successful. Ask Finlay who got the cigarettes. 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. The first year class was invited to participate, and turned out well led by the upper class president, Johns, with a green pennant, we visited the Conservatory and Botany Hall in the morning; in the afternoon, one of the city theaters. The next day upon arriving at school we found that we had all been placed on probation for our loyalty to St. Patrick. As we feel we are about to die (depart), it will be proper tc leave a will; so here goes! We, the class of 1910, having reached the end of our school career, being in sound body and of disposing mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this writing to be our last will and testament. We do hereby direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, only enjoining that the funeral shall be carried on with such dignity and pomp to which our large size entitles us. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to possess, we do dispose of the same as follows, viz.: ITEM—We give and bequeath, to the school, as a whole, the right of the smoking room, ducking tub. Assembly Hall, and piano. ITEM—We give and bequeath, to our respected and loved Dean the memory of our good behavior, and our request for baseballs. ITEM—We give and bequeath, to the Professors, the memory of our smiling faces and all our examination papers. ITEM—We give and bequeath, to the under classmen, all the blessings they may want; also the broken slab in the Chemical Laboratory that sent two men to the hospital and reduced our breakage fee, the school yells, the songs we used to sing in the Assembly Hall, and the right to talk to the stenographers. We surrender to them all the privileges of upper classmen. ITEM—We give and bequeath, to the janitors, our thanks for the many times they have chased us out of the Assembly Hall and out of the Smoking Room. ITEM—We devise and bequeath to the Director all the residue and remainder of our belongings, after all just debts and expenses are paid, and any information whether startling or otherwise, which has been told our Dean, and which we leave entirely to him. We hereby appoint the Trustees the sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we, the class of 1910, have set our hands and seal this 27th day of May, 1910. O. S. HECK, Historian. JUNIOR NIGIIT CLASS. APPRENTICE AND IOURNEYMEN NIGHT. 4 H’+ SECTION D. The first business meeting of the year was held on November 2, at which time the class officers were elected. Interest in affairs was shown by the manner in which the three candidates for the office of president were supported by their respective adherents. The election was exciting and full of good natured spirit. After the ballots had been counted it was found that the following men were successful: F. H. NOEL, President. C. A. WALTERS, Vice President. W. H. MENKING, Secretary and Treasurer. J. RAWLINGS, Historian and “Tartan” Representative. The class is composed of thirty men who show by their propensity for making puns and bright remarks, what sort of training they have been receiving in the schools from which they will graduate this year. Among the other interesting things done by the section during the past year has been to take trips through various mills, plants, and other places of interest. Among these was a visit made upon the invitation of the Arsenal Testing Station, of the United States Geological Survey on Butler Street. Several more or less informal smokers were held during the year and a dinner at the Fort Pitt Hotel, at which time the Dean and Mr. Peters were the principal speakers. NIGHT SECTIONS, A AND B. APPRENTICE AND JOURNEYMEN NIGHT. SECTION C. The first meeting of the Night “C” Section of the School for Apprentices and Journeymen was called by Dean Connelley on November 23, 1909, for the purpose of electing class officers and effecting a permanent organization. The following men were elected: J. D. LANGDON, President. J. H. STOBIE, Vice-President. C. W. HERGENRODER, Secretary. P. A. EDWARDS, Historian. R. L. ZIEGLER, “Tartan” Representative. G. H. BRODMERKEL, Athletic Representative. J. D. LANGDON, J. R. STEEL, G. H. BRODMERKEL, “Thistle”. One of the biggest of the social features of the section was the smoker given in the Club rooms on January 21, 1910. The affair was made all the more enjoyable by the presence of Dean Connelley, who gave an interesting talk on the object of the clubs and organizations of the schools. After hearing stories told by Messrs. Williams, Hamilton, and Calderwood, additional enjoyment was furnished by a formidable array of speakers from the membership of the class. Arrangements are under way for a class banquet to be held at the Fort Pitt Hotel early in May, when it is hoped to have the Dean as toastmaster. FIRST YEAR DAY CLASS.

CARNEGIE TECHNICAL SCHOOLS WIRELESS CLUB. On February 15, 1910, eight students of the Carnegie Technical Schools met in the A. J. Building and organized a club for the study of Wireless Telegraphy. The following officers were elected at that time: R. S. BOWEN, President. W. J. VANCE, Vice President. J. K. EWING, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer. A constitution and by-laws were adopted and plans were formulated for the erection of a station at the school to consist of a small brick building, containing the instruments, with a structural steel antenna extending upward from the roof. The instruments which are nearly completed were constructed by the members of the club. The meetings of the club take place in Room 209, A. J. Building on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. All matters of interest pertaining to Wireless Telegraphy are discussed at the meetings. APPRENTICE AND JOURNEYMEN FOOTBALL TEAM. CRAFTSMAN’S CLUB. THE CRAFTSMAN’S CLUB. November 2, was the date set for the first meeting of the Craftsman’s Club. It was attended by a majority of the members and many of the graduates of last year who could not forget their old friends with whom they had spent so many pleasant evenings. The Club held many smokers during the year, which was by far the most successful since its organization. Officers were elected at the meeting held early in February, and when Mr. Peters announced the successful candidates, it was found that the list contained many notables. CHAS. TOMLINSON, President. P. J. WITTMAN, Vice-President. E. A. KIRKMAN, Secretary and Treasurer. U. A. BREEM, HARRY LIPPERT, FRED NOEL, N. C. GRAHAM, and J. P. Kegel, Executive Committee. JOHN RAWLINGS, Historian and “Tartan”. A dance was held on the evening of April 6, which was well attended and a most enjoyable affair. The Club has doubled its membership during the year, and counts 1909-1910 as the most successful in its history. TlvCH M ICC 11A X ICS CU'li. THE TECH MECHANICS CLUB. 4 4-4 4' The Tech Mechanic’s Club was organized at the beginning of the school year to become a permanent club for second year Industrials and to make their last year in Tech both interesting and instructive by holding social gatherings and visiting the mills and shops for which Pittsburgh is so justly famous. Smokers were held in the Assembly Room, A. J. Building. Here the Club entertained all the night class men and the professors, with music, speeches, moving pictures and lunch. Among the trips was a tour through the Homestead Steel Works and to say it was a success from an educational point of view is putting it mildly. A trip of this sort cannot help but be instructive. Another of the trips was thorugh the Union Switch and Signal Co.’s plant at Swissvale. A number of like trips were taken and their educational value cannot be over-estimated. The initiation of first year students and their taking charge of the club for another year and of various other things usual at an initiation was the final event of the year and thoroughly enjoyed by all the members. The first semester officers were: A. E. JOHNS, President. C. G. WOOD, Vice President. T. W. ALEXANDER, Secretary. F. J. KURZ, Treasurer. The second semester: H. W. ERSKINE, President. G. W.

We, the Class of 1910, have a somewhat uneventful history, but still we lay claim to several honors which have distinguished us from the common herd. We were the first class to commence studies in our own edifice, as previous to this time the lords of creation has condescended to allow the weaker vessels the use of their dim vaults and storied aisles. It was at the end of our Junior year that we reluctantly bade adieu to our Dean, Miss Smith, who had led us so faithfully. But even in our grief we rejoiced that if Miss Smith must have a successor it was to be no other than Miss West, who had been with us during the two years we had been in the school. So we shall be the first class to graduate under the leadership of our new Dean, Miss West. We owe her thanks for the inspiration and moral courage she has given us. Still another distinction is to be ours. Mr. Carnegie, the founder of our school is contemplating a visit to us. This is far greater honor than the modest class of 1910 ever expected. We will show our appreciation by being on our good behavior, and also by arraying ourselves in uniforms sufficiently spick and span to please even Miss West. Here’s hoping that in years to come some of us will attain honors which will redound in credit to our benefactor. (We know that it is not the best policy to blow one’s own trumpet, but as Seniors we feel that this little privilege should be allowed us.) Semetime in October we elected our class officers. Helen Oursler, as Fresident, has manifested all the dignity and grace necessary to that exalted position. Ruth Doran, our President of last year, was chosen as Vice President. We felt confident that our staff of officers could not get along without her. In choosing Edith Glenn as Secretary, we have insured ourselves of faithfulness in the highest degree. (We have always wondered why Edith’s name wasn’t Patience.) Our Treasurer, like the good Sheppard that she is, has kept us from wandering far without first paying our class dues. Our class may have had several honors bestowed upon it, but as for social functions we will not boast. They have been decidedly few and far between. We have “hitched our wagon to a star”, and thus have kept out of reach of the social whirl. It really is painful to try to enumerate the gayeties we have indulged in this year. However, the reception which the Dean and the Seniors gave for the Plebes, as well as Mrs. Hamer-schlag’s tea for the Seniors, were both enjoyable affairs, and helped somewhat to break the monotony. In the way of dances, the Junior Prom to which the Seniors were so kindly invited, has been our one mad devotion to Terpsichore. The first glow of the Senior Ball has just appeared on the horizon, and we trust that when it finally makes its appearance, its full orbed glory will be a fitting culmination to the Senior year. Mr. Paur and Miss Stoner have both given valiantly of their store that it may be extremely distinctive. Mr. Paur has written the music to a beautiful Gavotte, which is to open the Ball, and Miss Stoner is endeavoring to set our feet to the music. Let us hope that her longsuffering labor will not be in vain, and that “Les Filles Gracieuses” may prove to be the something in a name. The days when the Seniors enthused over Basketball seem to have fled, and that game is a lost art among us. Probably our studies have been too strenuous to permit us to indulge in such frivolities. May each girl of the class of 1910 upon her graduation nobly perform the particular work for which she has been so well prepared by our Honorable Faculty. May the banner of the class of 1910 flap ever in the air (not hot) of loyalty and success. MARION REDENBAUGH. THE SENIOR CLASS. 4”H‘+ Helen A. Anderson. Crafton, Pa.

T TTT Dear Uncle Andy: You have taken such a heart interest in the girls of my class that I am sending you all our pictures and I know you will agree with me that this is one of the nicest classes the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School ever sent forth. You have heard much of the girls, but now I want you to meet each one personally and first would introduce you to our star bookkeepei. Marv L. Adams is a wonder even to our bookkeeping teacher, and it is an open secret that she simply lives on debits and credits. Ugh! Miss Becker is a good stenographer, who has learned to he a good cook. One of our members. Miss Bryce, has become so charmed with cooking that she would rather teach it to others than cook for two. You will be interested in our little Scotch lassie, Jean Cameron Campbell, of the bookkeeping class. Our little Miss Gorman, who graduates from the cooking class, has also become an expert in sewing and expects to put both the arts to practical use before long. ter sister’s ambitions in a different direction for Albert Glynn. were evidently she is now Mrs. Miss Jamison is our only graduate in millinery. Bess is making a big “hit” with her spring creations. Miss Jones, another cook, is tired teaching the youngsters the rule of three, and would rather tell them that to produce the most delicious cake in tlie world, one must beat the yolks and whites of the eggs separately and cream the butter well. Our class president, Anna Lindsey, has been one of the most popular girls in the school. During our first year she was vice-president of the class organization and for the past two years has been president. She is a member of 1). K. E. and during her Plebe and Junior years was a member of the 'Thistle Board. Our class secretary and treasurer. Elizabeth M. Longdon, is also a D. K. E. She was president of the organization during her Plebe year and as a Junior, was Assistant Editor of the Thistle. While engaged in Thistle work she became heartily interested in architecture, in fact, is thinking seriously of adopting the profession. This is the interrogation point of the class—rosy-cheeked Helen M-------? Helen’s specialty is Commercial Law which she punctuates with c|iiestions regarding things matrimonial, much to our amusement. Mary Wrabely has combined two night courses, bookkeeping and stenography and has completed both. She’s a worker. We love and honor our Alma Mater, Uncle Andy, and we are going to do our best to make it proud of us. YOUR LOVING NIECE. Cut loaned by ' 1 he Tartan' THE FOUNDER VISITING THE SCHOOLS. DAY JUNIOR CLASS. Photo by Johnston Studios JUNIOR DAY HISTORY. (MYTHICAL AND LEGENDARY PERIOD.) In the Spring of 1909 the fame of M. M. C. School for Women, was carried up Olympus by Eros, returned triumphant from fresh havoc wrought in the Faculty Body of that Institution. Invisible, in Assembly, she stared at Lombard blouses, Peter Thompsons, pink dresses, crisp white caps and pinafores, checked aprons. “Robes of marvelous contriving! Myself did design Woman’s Attire, ’twas not thus—yet, ’tis seemly. But for the strange garb these were my damsels restored;” Musing, Athene dreamt of that sweet Princess Nausicaa, with her maidens, whose unseen mentor and playmate she had been. (Homer sings of Athene’s inspiring their doing of the royal washing! afterward playing at ball with them on the river bank as the outspread linens dried.) When “The Triumph of St. Nicholas” was presented on the Gym stage, high on the boom, enchanted with music, setting players, sat our goddess. To Puck and Titania perched beside her, she spake wistfully, “This land hath no need of me—see ’tis fair infested with Saints.” “Nay,” answered Titania. “The New World calls for the Wisdom of the old gods.” “Our day is done, we failed to save Greece.” “Nay,” laughed Puck, “These maidens read Hans Andersen, their hearts will warm for the gods and the fairies—hark! The Dean’s Carol!” Athene, though summoned, lingered to study Civics, Child Labor and Suffrage; to organize a Guild and help each maiden choose a vocation. “I could go home via chloroform explosion but I prefer Halley’s comet. ’Twould violate all my principles of Hygiene were I obliged to ride to a railroad on a street car,” said Athene, patron goddess of cities. “Glad I am to have seen the Founder of this temple, builded in honor of Margaret Morrison Carnegie, his mother, whose spirit was that of a home maker.—Could she but hear our Woman’s Song!” The comet’s arrival was imminent. At dawn the goddess stood at the window. Lonely and hungry, she sighed at thought of exchanging shepherd’s pie for ambrosia. “This shrine is to mv liking, that had it a bit of garden for my olives, for my maidens’ lilies and roses La France, tulips yet and cabbage already, broad beans, leeks and yellow Scotch brier roses an’ a wee red coo in the byre—I could bide here maist contentit.” A breeze laden with fresh H._,SO;; from the mills drifted in, Athene strangling, gasped, “I canna thole Pittsburgh smoke—I return nae mair!” and was gone. Never before was known, never again will be known Junior Class of finer spirit than the Class of 1910—if this History were true. June brought its jumble of examinations, weddings, Commencement, goodbyes, and the fair omen that the new Dean was to be our gracious Miss West. Athene tarried—on her pedestal—to rejoin us on the assembling of Classes September 20. “I collect adventures, fresh wisdom, and lead a carefree existence,” she said. Wherein Athene reckoned without her host, the Faculty, for, withal—she was still half a pagan. Sections A, B and C gratefully accepted six recruits for the places of lamented associates departed; greeted friends old and new in the entire school organization; settled down to hard work, and fun. Then Athene inspired a fiat to the entering class. In response came such efflorescence of green ribbon bows on Plebe wearers as gave Assembly a truly vernal air. “The green rare becomes the freshness o’ the damsels! ’twas well thought on,” quoth our goddess. The class went into politics and elected singularly efficient and unselfish officers. In society its first appearance was upon the occasion of the charming reception given by the Faculty and the Senior Class in honor of the entering class, and the luncheons in the Seniors’ House have been a source of edifying enjoyment. With all the school, joyful in spirit over his safe return from perilous illness, we welcomed the Director home. In classes our goddess invisible provided inspiration, seldom enough to go round, so genius burned fitfully.. It blazed brightest in co-relation of Physiology, Dietetics and Chemistry, (Which Athene said must be comprehended, for, in importance it was second only to the practise of Hygiene) : it flickered in Addisonian Imitation and What is Culture? (“The same thing the Sphinx asked me!”): went out in CO, and in The Right of Petition: flamed again in a medallion for our Class Table Cloth, designed for The House, and in Distribution of Income. NIGHT JUNIOR CLASS. JUNIORS OF THE NIGHT. “Is the goal so far away? Far, how far no tongue can say. Let us dream our dreams today. TTTT We dreamed our dream yesterday, today we are working to make that dream come true, and today we think we are a little nearer the goal, that yesterday seemed so far away. Another year of steady, earnest work almost completed, another year with little to mar the serenity of those that take part in this queer race by night. Only once did we stop to dance by the light of the moon. The moon smiled, and low sweet music caused us to forget for a time the goal beyond. But we feel that we did not lose by it, for rested and refreshed, we were off again with renewed strength and courage to win. If all the nights were only moonlight nights, that we could always keep the goal in sight! Many dropped by the wayside when the moon ceased to shine, but those that still remain in the race, light their lanterns and keep on running. “How far, of course, no one can say, This coveted goal yet remains away.” But as we work today, we dream that we shall catch a glimpse of it tomorrow. “Uplift a thousand voices full and sweet, In this wide hall with earth’s invention stored, And praise the invisible universal Lord, Who lets once more in peace the nations meet, Where Science, Art and Labor have outpour’d Their myriad horns of plenty at our feet.” C. G. S., 1911. DAY PL Tv BE CLASS. ’Art4 Ar J'Ani oh Stmii, THE JUNIOR PROM. M. M. C. S. TTTT Well, and didn’t you know that I was at the Girls’ Junior Prom, held at their school, the first of February? Why, how could they do without the moon? How did it all look? Well, the walls were covered with pennants of all kinds, colors, sizes and shapes, and every nook was made a bower of loveliness with palms and smilax. The Class President, Lureta Kempel, and the patronesses, greeted the guests in the hall of the Apartment, and then the dancing began. The Faculty retired to the Gym stage where they held court and smiled benignly on all,—some of them actually danced, too! Didn’t those musickers make a great noise, and didn’t everybod)' dance? Well, they just did! At twelve, supper was served in the Faculty rooms and I was left alone to ruminate. Not long, however, for they all came trooping back and resumed until two. Even then, I heard several say, “Oh, I don’t want to stop and go home.” But at last, lads and lassies skipped away, only one or two waiving goodbye to the poor old man who had “made too much light”.

Never, since old Father Time’s first advent was there a more delightful affair than the annual reception for the Plebes given November 2, 1909, by the Faculty, assisted by the Seniors. The classes were received by Miss West, Mrs. Hamerschlag, the Faculty, and Helen Oursler, the Senior President. The reception rooms were tastefully decorated in greens and the Senior class colors, yellow and white, were much in evidence on the tables. Gorgeous yellow and white chrysanthemums formed the center piece of the serving table on which were refreshments of enticing variety. Frozen custard, with whipped cream; small fancy cakes,—the product of our Senior Household Art girls’ culinary experience of the past year; and candies, were daintily served by the Refreshments Committee of which Gertrude M. Hartman was chairman with Ruth Doran and Edith Funk, able and competent assistants, aided by other girls of the Senior Class. On the whole, it was a most enjoyable time and everyone appeared to enter into the spirit of the occasion. Miss West was everywhere at once; Mr. Esquerre was greatly in demand and constantly surrounded by a bevy of girls and every member of the Faculty did royal service in making the girls of the various classes acquainted. Although there have been several social events during the past year on a more pretentious scale, the Reception for the Plebes, so formally planned and so informally carried out, has not been surpassed in furnishing the one thing essential for a general good time—good fellowship. 11)11 BASKET BALL TEAM.

For a time it seemed as though a pall hung over this part of college life, and that our sports, just beginning to flourish, should perish. Great credit is due the student body and Faculty for the manner in which they rallied and by subscriptions preserved athletics at Tech. The Football Team of the past fall was of the “gilt edge variety”. Though light, it possessed an abundance of speed and sprung greatly into the limelight by defeating such teams as Franklin and Marshall and Western Reserve. The Track Team, though competing only in two meets, was of the highest order and the Relay Team again captured the banner at the University of Pennsylvania's games. This year’s team is at present an unknown quantity, due to its having to be developed almost entirely from new material. Basketball, though Tech always had a good team, has been discontinued by the action of the Board of Control and baseball last year suffered a similar fate, due to the new field being unfit for play at that time. Hockey met with pronounced success and proved Tech’s liking for the game. The team met the best colleges, both in and out of its class, and was defeated but once, and that at the hands of Yale. This game was really a Tech victory, so far as playing was concerned, as Yale played an almost entirely defensive game. Athletics have progressed. We have been playing better teams, have met stronger adversaries and have been face to face with bigger problems. More interest has been manifested by the student body, and in a substantial manner. The financing of Tech field and raising funds to carry on Football next season have been the biggest projects of any nature that the students have accomplished. Let us hope that by the time the next edition of “The Thistle makes its appearance, our athletics will have made as much more progress toward cleanness, strength and saneness as they have within the last year. FOOTBALL TEAM, 1909. THE FOOTBALL SEASON. When the first call for candidates was sent out, the chances for a winning team were somewhat in doubt. Tech had played three seasons of football, none of which could be termed successful. The fact that there were only a half dozen of the old 1908 team available made the future look dark. However there were some things in our favor. We had one of the best coaches in the land. To Mr. Edwin N. Snitjer belongs the credit of building up the fastest, most aggressive team Carnegie Tech has ever had. He instilled a spirit and dash that failed to be downed no matter how the tide of battle turned. He taught the hard, fast and clean football that marked every game. Another thing in our favor was the possession of a field that we could call our own. The playing of the games in the very shadow of our own buildings seemed to give both players and rooters the inspiration that brought about victory. FOOTBALL. Tech opened her football season at home on the new field by defeating Westminster 12—o. The team demonstrated that in spite of its lack of weight, it possessed remarkable speed that later enabled it to defeat some of its strongest opponents. To Morris belongs the honor of scoring the first touchdown on the new field. Flick scored the second after a pretty run of 80 yards. The second game Tech won easily, from Waynesburg, 18—o. Long runs were frequent. Flick and Captain Hittner carrying the ball. ' ■ Tech’s victory over Western Reserve may be said to be her first big conquest. Last year Reserve held the Ohio State Championship and consequently the result of the game was a big surprise to football followers. Tech scored first, Hittner making an 80 yard run. Reserve scored immediately after but failed to kick goal. In the Denison game, both sides failed to score. The field was a sea of mud and the rain came down continually during the game, making fumbles frequent. In the first half of the Lehigh game, Tech fairly played her opponents of! their feet. Lehigh’s first score was due to one of her men blocking an onside kick and carrying the ball over the line. The half ended with the score 6—6. In the second half, Lehigh’s heavy backfield proved too much for Tech’s line. By straight football, Lehigh scored twice. Tech scored once more and the game ended 18—n. The F. M. Game was the roughest of the season. Tech outplayed the Lancaster team, gaining 593 yards to the visitor’s 150. The final score was 11 to 5. A long tiresome train ride and an unusually warm afternoon proved disastrous at Marietta. Tech failed to display the spirit and vim that was seen at home, although she played a plucky game against her heavy opponents. Final score, 13—o. In the Allegheny game at Meadville, the line up was changed considerably, enabling the regulars to rest up for Thanksgiving. Hatcher played a wonderful game for Tech, scoring one of the touchdowns. The game ended with the score 10—o. On Thanksgiving Day, Tech met the Colgate team from Hamilton, N. Y. Colgate has played some of the strongest teams in the East. Tech played a plucky game, but as it wore on, weight began to tell. The heavy Colgate backs found weak points in our line. By steady line plunging they rolled up a score of 36. Tech fought till the very end, never thinking of surrender, and the whistle blew for the last time during the season of 1909 with the score 36 to 6. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE, 1909.

There being no professional hockey at Duquesne Garden this year, the Western Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Hockey League was organized. The league consisted of Penn State, University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Tech. The original schedule called for eight games for each team but owing to the withdrawal of State only five games were played. Tech opened the season on December 18 by defeating University of Pittsburgh in a well played game. On December 25, State was easily downed in a one-sided contest. The only lost game of the season went to Yale on December 28. The second Tech-Pitt game was a rough and hard fought one, and ended in a tie. In this game, the team showed a decided reversal of form, team work being missing largely. The final home game was played with Pitt on January 22. Although minus the service of two regulars, Tech had little trouble winning. The feature of this game was the excellent team work displayed. On March 4, the team went to Cleveland and easily defeated Case. The following night Western Reserve lost a very onesided game. The Cleveland Rink Management endeavored to book Tech for a series of games with their league teams. This offer had to be declined owing to the fact that the Gardens were closed and Tech would have been unable to secure any practice. These Cleveland teams are the same which played the Pittsburgh Hockey Club. Charles, Mason, Low, and Bright of the forward line again played in their last year’s form and had no trouble in skatingl around all their opponents. On the defense, Stevenson and Min-nemeyer starred. The success of the team during the present season was due to hard conscientious work at practice and the team work used in the games. Alan Bright was unanimously elected captain for next season. C. PTAI X DOR X BERGER. RESULTS OF THE SEASON. Dec. 18. Carnegie Tech—1 vs. University of Pitts.—0 Dec. 25. Carnegie Tech—7 vs. Penn.

Notwithstanding the fact that the entire team, with the exception of Captain Coldren, had to be developed from new material and the coaching is being done entirely by Faculty members, the team has splendid chances of being a winner. A word of appreciation must be said for the manner in which the present season is being financed. Upon announcement by the Board of Control of the Athletic Association that either Baseball or Football would have to be dropped for the year, and their subsequent decision to do away with the former, members of the Faculty raised subscriptions to guarantee the schedule and put the team on its feet.

The track team of 1909 competed in but two meets, capturing the Pitt-Tech dual meet, and making second in the University of Pittsburgh Intercollegiate Meet. The Pitt-Tech dual meet was easily won by Tech, 66 to 51. In the meet Dowling and Halferty each captured 16 points. Tech strength as usual lay in the track events although Roe managed to capture 4 points in the weights. The general opinion was that Tech would easily capture the Intercollegiate championship, as they did the preceding year, but the other colleges all sent track men instead of field men which worked to the advantage of Pitt and very much against Tech. Pitt captured 68 points; Tech, 50 2; W. J., 21; Wooster, 18; West Virginia, 3, and Geneva, iy2. For the individual points it was a close race with Dowling, 15; Halferty, 14, and Kelley, of Wooster, 13. In the sprints Tech showed up exceptionally well, capturing all four places in the 100 yard dash, and the first three places in the 220 dash. For Tech, Dowling won the 100 yard dash, the 220, second in the 220 yard low hurdles, and third in the 120 yard high hurdles. Halferty won the 220 yard low hurdles breaking the Western Pennsylvania record, and finished second in the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and 120 high hurdles. Hosey ran second in the 440 yards, and fourth in the 100 yard dash. Bates ran third in the half mile and fourth in the mile. Henderson gave Knotts, of Pitt, a close race in the two mile. Charles took three thirds, the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and 440 yard dash. Tech competed in the P. A. A. indoor meet, but this was merely a preliminary work out. After the Intercollegiate Meet, Charles was elected captain for the 1910 season, while R. W. Light will again manage the teams. The prospects for a good season are bright, although Tech lost all the main point winners of last year, by graduation. RELAY TEAM, 1909. The Tech team, under the guidance of Capt. Dowling, went to the University of Pennsylvania Relay games on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, April 24, 1909, and were again the winners. The team was composed of Dowling, Halferty, Hatcher and Hosey; this quartet doing the mile in 3 minutes 35 2-5 seconds. This is the best time ever made in this class. The University of Pittsburgh was a good second, due to the work of Ross, our former quartermiler. Fordham was picked to win this race, but the best they could do was to capture third place with Lehigh close behind, and Villa Nova fifth. The same team competed in the Pittsburgh Athletic Association meet at Duquesne Garden on April 17th, and were defeated by the Carlisle Indians and W. J. Both these teams, however, had been running indoors all winter and Tech had practically no indoor experience. CAPTAIN. CHARLES. TRACK RECORDS OF TECH. Moot Pitt. Intercollegiate Pitt.

The Tech Glee and Mandolin Clubs have been disbanded for the year 1909-10 after a most successful musical season. The Glee Club was under the direction of Prof. Ernest Lunt, the director of the Mendelssohn Male Choir of Pittsburgh, who conducted the club and whose work was most admirable. Five Sundays were spent in trying out the voices of applicants only thirty of whom were selected for the Club. Music was selected, only that of the best writers, and rehearsals were held each Sunday afternoon at 2130. The men were put through the usual routine of trying first each part separately and then in unison. After the first few practices the songs were rounded into shape and prepared for concerts. The Mandolin Club found its destiny in the agile hands of “Mike Scheidlemier. The twenty-eight members found it difficult to attain the high standard insisted upon by their leader. The competitive basis was used to fill all positions and well so, as was shown by the balance of tone obtained. The first public performance was given on a trip to Sharon, Mercer, and Grove City, during Christmas vacation. After these preliminaries, the clubs were well started and extensive preparations were made for the annual concert at the Carnegie Music Hall in January. Here, before a most select audience, which filled the hall to its capacity, the clubs made a fine showing and the concert was pronounced a success. Following were a number of charity concerts in Soho, West End and Kingsley House, all of which were well patronized. Then came the longest trip taken by the clubs, that to Altoona, Pa. This was perhaps the most enjoyable one of all. Closing concerts were given in Homestead, Duquesne, and other localities after which the clubs disbanded for the fiscal year. H. F.

CHALFANT, Secretary. M. B. BUTLER, Jr., and I. A. SLINGERLAND, Committee. The Aero Club of the Carnegie Technical Schools was organized in December, 1909. At several open meetings for the purpose of discussing means of effecting a permanent organization, much interest was displayed in aeronautics, and a constitution adopted. Membership of the club is either active, associate or honorary. Regular meetings are held every Wednesday for the purpose of discussing current events or studying the laws governing the principles of machines. Early in March a public exhibition of models was held and attracted much attention. Prof. Follows, of the School of Applied Science, lectured to the club on the history of flight by mechanical means and added much to the store of knowledge of the members. Following this two man-carrying gliders were built, one by the Design and A. J. men and the other by the Science men. Cut loaned bv ' The Tartan TWO-MAN carrying gliders. XT3A1 a IVIOo - H. J.
