Pittsburgh, Pa. Foreword T has been our privilege and our pleasure to add another volume to the chronicles of the Carnegie Technical Schools. Faithfully, as chroniclers should, we have sought to grasp the spirit of our school; to place it, still glowing and thrilling, between the covers of a hook, that it may he carried with us, undimmed, through our future years, and that it may he perpetuated for those who come after us in the Carnegie Tech, history which is yet unwritten.Cl,In placing our work in your hands, we invite no comparisons. We have striven, independent of the successes and failures of our predecessors, to realize our individual conception of what such a hook should he. Our highest aim has been to make it worthy of our Alma Mater, and if we have been, even in a small measure, successful in attaining this end, our labors have received their reward. THE EDITORS 3 TO Louise fVhit field Carnegie whose high intelligence, warm sympathy, and gentle courtesy, make her a type of womanhood for men to reverence, and for women to realize in their own lives, fWs book is respectfully dedicated 4 Louise Whitfield Carnegie TVTHEN the door of a house opens, we instinctively look for a wel-™ come—for someone to bid us enter and be of good cheer. So, on lifting the cover of this book, we naturally wonder whose friendly face will greet us, and assure us of entertainment within— mirth without malice,—and happy recollections of the year drawing to a close. Because there seems to be a feeling of peace and good-will in all the four Schools, it is most fitting that the year-book of 1910-11 should show on its initial page the smiling face of our “Lady of Skibo.” Mrs. Andrew Carnegie has so graciously set us an example of the finer courtesies of life in dealing with “all sorts and conditions of men,” that we may well look to her, with pride, as our patroness. New York claims Louise Whitfield, afterwards Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, as a daughter of that city. It was there, in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Whitfield, that her early years were passed. Perhaps her very love of the country had its beginning in that charmingly quaint little green garden, Gramercy Park, where she played as a child. Although the Whitfield and Carnegie families were friends for many years, it was not until 1887 that Louise Whitfield and Andrew Carnegie were married. They then began that life, in two countries, which continues until now—and expresses their constant effort, in both their homes, to unite all English-speaking peoples in one harmonious bond. From the Isle of Wight they went to Dunfermline, and then Kilgraston was their home for a year. Later on Cluny Castle was leased and became their residence in Scotland until 1897, when Mr. Carnegie purchased the Skibo Estate. Since then, from May to November of each year, Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter Margaret, have made Skibo their summer home. In all the arrangements and improvements of the Castle, the estate, and in the plans for the welfare of the village of Clashmore, on the Skibo estate—Mrs. Carnegie has shown her great executive ability and exquisite taste. Comfort and beauty everywhere ! It would indeed be difficult to enumerate all the ways in which Mrs. Carnegie has been successful as a daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend, a helper in need, a comforter in sorrow, and through it all a cheerful, inspiring, hopeful spirit. Countless tired souls have carried away a glow in their hearts from her friendly fireside, and can testify now that human kind- 6 ness helped them over some of the rough places in life. As a home-maker she is pre-eminently successful, and comfort and happiness are in all her surroundings. Mrs. Carnegie has so completely identified herself with her husband’s interests and duties, that it is hard to write of her apart from him and them. As an appreciation of this devotion, as well as in recognition of her own excellence as a woman, Mr. Carnegie’s native town, Dunfermline, in 1907, conferred upon her its highest civic tribute—that of honorary burgess-ship. This honor has never been conferred by the town on any other woman—and Dunfermline is over eight hundred years old! With every opportunity for choosing whatever pleases her in life, Mrs. Carnegie sets us the example of choosing the things of character and intellect—simplicity, truth, naturalness. Whether among the tenants of Clashmore or in the complex society of cities—in the world or in her own quiet home—always and ever the same lofty, gracious, simple, modest, truthful spirit is maintained. And so, the encouraging face on the dedicated page of our year-book today seems to bring 11s this message: ‘‘Thou must be true thyself, if thou the truth would’st teach; Thy soul must overflow, if thou another’s soul would’st reach; It needs the overflow of heart, to give the lips full speech. Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world’s famine feed; Speak truly, and each word of thine shall be a fruitful seed; Live truly, and thy life shall be a great and noble creed.” THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTE Board of Trustees Y.

To The Thistle: This is a glorious spring-time for the Carnegie Technical Schools, With Mr. Carnegie’s birthday gift we hope to extend and enlarge this institution until it has three thousand students. We count on our graduates and the students now enrolled to bring us the balance needed to make this total. When the new buildings are erected we will have an educational plant that will rank among the best. With a Faculty strengthened to care for the increased student body we shall have a teaching force capable of offering courses of instruction equal to the best in the land. All we shall need then for success will be united co-operation to make the Alma Mater proud of her destiny. Yours very truly, Arthur Arton Hamerschlag, 10 ARTHUR A. HAMERSCIILAG, D. Sr. Director.

When we were “rounded up in October for our last year ’neath the walls of dear old Tech, we elected officers for the first semester and then turned our attention to the promising but untried Class of 1913. To decide their fate we held many secret meetings. Some were sent down the path that had for its destination the “Tub of Fame ;—while others seemed to have the ability to become circus riders, tight rope walkers and peanut rollers. While the Freshmen did not succeed in unfurling many '13 banners, we give them direct credit for having the right idea and plenty of class spirit. With the organization of a football and basketball team we closed the first semester. The second and last semester marks chiefly the epoch of “Making Good. At the first class meeting for the election of officers, it was moved that Wm. E. Deets should be unanimously re-elected president, for the loyalty and interest lie had shown for the class. We marched through the exams with colors flying and celebrated our victory over “Job’s Hoodoo at the Fort Pitt Hotel on the night of the 7th of January. Late in the month of February we endeavored to explain to the president and vice-president of the first year class that they were not to be present at their banquet that evening. To this they sorely objected, and in order to pacify them we assembled at Point View Hotel where we held a very enjoyable smoker. Mr. Keitz, sheriff of Allegheny 20 County, gave a very interesting talk on the “Advantages of Young Americans,” additional enjoyment was furnished by a formidable array of speakers from the members of the class. As the ghost of probation walks arm in arm with St. Patrick in the month of March we decided to lay low and look as industrious as possible. According to the committee on Curriculum and Scholarship, April was a foolish month because it started foolishly. March winds, April showers, Midnight oil, Eiffel Towers. With the arrival of May we commenced to realize how fast the time had gone. Events that had gotten rusty were polished again by a good laugh and recollections of the past have again kindled fire to our “Lamp of Activities” whose last rays will shine over us at our Farewell Ban-cpict to the Faculty. As the last drop of oil burns and the flame smolders off into darkness we will say farewell to the Director and Faculty who have placed us on the first step of our Ladder of Fame.

Electric wiring seems our natural bend: Beware of all the wires that are bare, Or you, too, are sans Tech, and then sans end.

Day Freshman History, 1913 ( V the 3rd day of October, 1910. about one hundred and fifty young men started their careers as students in the Carnegie Technical Schools. The first day the Sophs made a number of us Presides march around town with our trousers rolled up to our knees and our coats turned inside out. Many other ludicrous stunts were also the order of the day. The Sophs did not know they were doing a lot of useless work because our boys considered this great sport. Nothing in particular happened for several days, except the calling of the Preshies to a meeting under Mr. Pfouts, who brought out the fact that we should organize into a strong body, and as one might say “stick for soup . After speaking to the Freshies in a very gentlemanly 43 manner he gave the floor to Mr. Casper, who was afterward elected President. Mr. Casper spoke on his rambles through California, where he had many blood curdling encounters with wicked Indians, blood thirsty Mexicans and desperate cowboys. Having the minds of his audience fdled with all these horrible tales, he changed matters by speaking about the many beautiful ladies of that part of the country. Friday, October 7th, was set for the Inter-Class Meet. The Sophs came out to overthrow these haughty Freshmen, but on account of a slight misunderstanding both classes received the same number of points. We would have won the track event, but Boyd, known as “By Heck,” sprung a “charlie horse” in his leg, and we lost the victory through this mishap. The Sophs made it known that the Freshies would have to wear green caps. We bowed to our superiors and wore the verdant head gear during the cold days of November and December. Considering the caps a mark of honor to our Irish blood. After the excitement of the first two weeks everyone settled down to his studies, and the Christmas holidays were hailed with delight, many of the students going to their homes to see the ones more dear to them than mother. “Tiddy” Ent in particular said he was going out in society. The last of January was the end of the first semester and it was also, sad to tell, the end of some of I9i3?s sturdy sons. Shortly after the beginning of the second semester the death of Pane Moore brought sadness to the class of Nineteen Thirteen. Mr. Moore was an honest, upright and sturdy classmate and was liked by all his student associates. O11 the twenty-first of February the main event of the year, the Freshmen banquet, occurred. Between entrees several classmen were called to speak. Mr. Casper responded by giving his experience as a workingman. Mr. McCarthy gave his college troubles. Mr. Keally hoped all the class would have a good time, not being able to conjure up anything else. Mr. Randolph spoke 011 Class Qualifications. Mr. Veder spoke on the trip to Point View and its relation to Ham and Eggs. Mr. Lose gave his ideas of an athlete. Mr. Barnhart was rather bashful and said that he would wait until his pipe went out. Mr. Hamilton ended up by giving a “treat-us” on the strength of the Sophomore Class, and the capture of Deets. At 11:30 the banquet was brought to a close by the singing of the Alma Mater. The months of March and April passed slowly away, and let us hope that at the beginning of next term every one of the best Freshman Class that ever entered C. T. S.. will return to again make the halls of Tech resound with our glory and fame. 44 ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION-ROASTER Name given the Rcglstnr. Name Attached By the Class Ambition.

The Senior Class held their second annual smoker on Friday evening, Jan. 6, 1911.

One noted especially was by President Deets who gave a brief treatise on a little party he had before he reached the Fort Pitt. A searching party of Freshmen made their entrance, scouring the Dutch Room for stray Butts, but as the butts had been saved for one Percy X. Dixon, the Freshmen became the butt of our wit. 'Phe result of the encounter was an exaggerated craving on the part of the Freshmen for applications of Hand Sapolio, sometimes called Bon Ami by the unenlightened. 'Phe wee sma’ hours found our class gradually seeking repose. Second on the smoker calendar was an impromptu affair held at the Point View Hotel. A number of the officials of the Freshmen class were unavoidably present. The first part of the evening was devoted to “cats ', namely pig meat and hen fruit, artistically prepared,—not to mention the demi tassc on the side. 47 Night Senior Class, Electric Wiring, J I rIIE senior class of 1911, Electric Wiring, has had a serene and somewhat uneventful history enlivened only by the jokes found in the humorous pages of Swoope’s Lessons in Practical Electricity, punctuated by Mr. Calderwood’s “Now gentlemen, let us consider the question of-----,” and illustrated by the periodical explosion of the flash lights as we posed, annually, for pictures for the Thistle. Our four years of hard study seem very short as we look back over them, and we rejoice that we “stood pat” and now are about to reap our reward, in the form of a coveted certificate. We were not a remarkable class by any means, although one of the members, James McKinley, was for several seasons the star “First base” of the Varsity Team. Those who responded to roll call steadily diminished in number as man after man yielded to the lure of an out-of-town job, or to the unaccustomed pressure of study, or. as several did, to the “Call of the Maiden.” until finally only two arc left, our class song is: Two little wiremen standing in a row, But on Commencement Day, out we shall go. Rodney L. Ziegler and James R. Theiss are they who have run the race, and now pass under the wire neck and neck. Among the “also-rans” are James McKinley, above mentioned, I,. H. Yelte, who made a high dive into the matrimonial sea in ’09, having lost his heart to a charming student in M. M. C. S., and A. J. Cupps, who combined magnetic whirls and dizzy whirls on the ice as a hockey star. The histories of the others are unknown to the writer. Theiss, our comrade from the West, although a bright electrician, might have done better, could he have turned his thoughts away from the fascinating belles of the North Side. Ziegler, loyal to the girls of his native heath, Butler County, Pa., declares them to be superior in every way to those across the swift-flowing Allegheny. However, such discussions were forgotten from 7:30 to 9:30 three nights a week, as from our conscientious and faithful instructors in Electricity and those in other branches, we gathered a bountiful harvest of knowledge to sustain 11s along the pathway of life, and we leave the classic halls of our Alma Mater with most happy recollections, and earnest wishes for the continued success, and increasing influence of Carnegie Tech. 49 C R' scr 5 to oppcrhoH 1___- Class of 1914, Applied Industries, Night TJAVING safely passed through the ordeal of preliminary examina-tions last fall, we betook ourselves to the halls of Carnegie Tech; and having steered cautiously to the northeast of Fatty, the cop. entered upon the work of our first year. We made an immediate discovery which awakened us to the nature of our position. The work was quite too real and tangible to be either denied or shirked. That was our first bit of knowledge acquired. Arriving at a full understanding of this truth we set to and plugged with a good will. W e now began to realize that we were a class, a unit in the cosmos of the C. T. S., and indicated our appreciation of this act by the organization of a Morman Mechanic Club, which proved a brilliant success, the idea being adopted by a number of other classes. The officials of the club were: Big Chief Mormon ............................ Banks. Assistant Young Chief Mormon................. Falhs. Rivaling the Mormon Mechanic Club there arose the Suffragette Club, of which Thompson was chief clerk. The organization was a success until the year’s dues were appropriated by the secretary who used them to pay the first installment on a supply of Curtis Bi-planes to carry the members through their examinations. The class boasts the possession of three curios worthy of scientific attention; a man named Stutt, who entered with us, was successful in graduating in four weeks. lie considered himself an unabridged compendium of classified knowledge, technical, secular and sacred. Exhibit B is known as “Sissy’’ Marks of McKeesport, a specimen hitherto unknown to natural history; and our last display is Barley Barkles, wind jammer, believed to be the missing link. We finish our first year with some satisfaction at what has been accomplished and with a full appreciation of our shortcomings, we hope to gather again next year, to enjoy the distinction of being Sophs, and to continue the work we have begun. 51 Alma Mater Let all our voices now be raised In song to fill the air; And all our hearts with music praise. Our Alma Mater fair. Chorus.— Carnegie Tech, we honor thee, And fondly sing thy praise; We pledge our lives, in memory, Thy sons on high to raise. Let all the echoes ring out clear, In joyful strains so true; And greet the Tartan with a cheer, Red, yellow, green and blue. Then keep our hearts ascending high, Far reaching to the sky; And make us thrill with pride in thee.

The only member of the class who did not come back was Theron Wasson. “The sage of Mawhinney Street” was one of the ablest and most popular men in the class and his decision not to return occasioned great regret. The class gained two recruits in Messrs. Kjems and Erbing, who decided that they would like to carry back to their homes across the water diplomas from Carnegie Tech. The first of our duties as Seniors was that of arranging and refereeing the field contests between theSophomores and Plebes. We succeeded in making the affair original and entertaining; in fact, several of the attendant events will be memorable. The struggle for the greased pig was the climax of the Sophomore victory. After these opening events we settled down to a period of hard work, broken by the Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses. During the year the Class of 1911 has set a fine example of school loyalty and class spirit. Much credit for this is due to the able leadership of President McCorkle. The class is proud of the manner in which “Texas” has represented it on all occasions. In February came the Junior Prom, given in our honor by 1912. A delightful evening was spent at the Schcnlev. We congratulate the Junior Class on the splendid success of the affair. Easter vacation is at hand. Our interest is centered now in the closing events of our school life, 'flic Senior Ball and Senior Banquet are only a few weeks off. Our baseball game with the Faculty is eagerly awaited. But beneath this pleasurable anticipation is an undercurrent of sadness. As Commencement Day approaches our love for our Alma Mater causes us to look forward to the parting day with regret and the realization that the years spent here have passed too quickly. Whether success or failure be our portion, we will endeavor to remain true to our ideals and wherever we go carry with 11s our love for C. T. S., and the Class of Nineteen-Eleven. 57 SENIOR STATISTICS Handsomest man Most eccentric man .. Grouchiest man ........ Best-natured man .... W indiest man ......... Laziest man ............

School activities, in the form of class veils, social affairs, and athletics were common topics at our meetings. Today we arc still alive but not so lively, and greatly reduced in numbers, we are eighteen all in all, 8 mechanicals, 4 metallurgists, 6 civils and no electricals. Although the writer is not superstitious it is worth mentioning that only 2 members who held offices in the previous years, were able to enter and remain in the present class; these gentlemen are Mr. James L. Williams, vice president in the fourth year, and Mr. C. H. McCall, the latter serving as secretary for three years. The former even could spare time to take part in the successful work of our basketball team, of which he is the captain. We are proud of him ! The fourth year was undoubtedly the most strenuous year of all. Not a single electrical student registered for that year, and at the end of the same school year the number of our classmates was reduced to 19 members. Tribute must be paid to Mr. IT. T. Woods, who was the president of the fourth year Night Class and who was forced to drop his studies by reason of physical breakdown near the end of the present school year. In the beginning of the fifth year on our first regular meeting Mr. J. W. Dougherty was elected as president after a very exciting balloting. On the first count he and Mr. J. L. Williams received the same number of votes; the second ballot, through some confusion caused by the ballot counters, did not lead to any result, and finally on the third ballot Mr. Dougehrty was elected president with the overwhelming plurality of one vote. Willerton Flemming was elected as vice president, R. B. Lock-wood. secretary; L. F. Baker, treasurer; the duties'of historian were maliciously given to the writer, and Oliver B. McMillin unanimously chosen for the position of Great Grand Marshal. The writer feels justified in predicting that although this year brings the long sought liberty to the few remaining members of this class, each and every one will regret the severance of ties that have grown dear to all of 11s.

Day Junior Class History IT was in the early fall of the year 1910 that a band of victorious warriors passed on out of the land of Wise Foolery, or Sophomore-dom and laid hold of Junior Land. Far ahead of them on a high, almost inaccessible cliff, they saw the Seniors, tired from their hard climb, yet undaunted, preparing to make their last stand and then embark individually. as trained and tried warriors, upon the sea of human society; in the rear they heard that earnest dogged tread of the Sophomores which alone is characteristic of men who are determined in their efforts to reach the goal of their ambitions, and dimmer still, they heard that joyous, care-free, laughter of those new sons of Tech, the Plebes. And so school life may well be thought of as a climb up a mountain side, striving to attain to the heights of those who have already climbed while pursued by men of equal opportunity. They now held undisputed an almost impregnable plateau three-fourths the way up the mountain. There were only half as many warriors now as had started on this arduous climb; only the sturdy could withstand the rigors, the others fell back hopelessly or lagged behind other climbers. The first half year spent in camp passed merrily along, every one busily following out his instructions from “the blue sheet hanging in the hall,” others busied also in the Thistle and yet others with the Junior Prom. It was on the evening of the 21st of February, 1911, and the early morn of the 22d that the latter event took place, ’twas truly a night of great festivity in camp never to be forgotten by those who were there, a more .complete chronicle of which is to be found written by those who did most to make it a success. Student government now became the talk of the camp. The deciding of the question for posterity, of whether the government of the students should be intrusted to the students, was met with by the clear, earnest thought of every man. And so every one of that band of victorious warriors is now buckling on his armor to make the last ascent and so capture the citadel on the cliff for the glory and honor of the Class of 1912. 71 X OR, lBKihRlL David Henderson D.

Sophomore Class History TV7HEN we entered the Carnegie Technical Schools and were wcl- coined on our way by the Sophomores, each and every one of us resolved to be a Sophomore some day, to welcome another class of Plebes, and to lord it over the fresh ones. When in 1909 we won the annual Class Eight in all its details, we further resolved that no Plebc class should vanquish us as Sophomores. Through the kindness of the faculty as much as by our own efforts, we are Sophomores. And as an acknowledgment of our appreciation we have donated to the School of Applied Science some traditions that we hope future Sophomores will reverence. Xo Soph class ever before welcomed a Plebe class as whole-heartedly as we welcomed 1914; no Soph class before instilled such a love of school-spirit in the breasts of a rising generation as we put into the bosoms of the present Plebes; and no previous class labored so wisely and so well in the task of keeping green-buttoned caps on the swelling craniums until Thanksgiving. For the first time in untold ages, a Sophomore class at Carnegie Tech won the annual Class Fight. These are the achievements of our past. 'fhe class of 1913 was sifted in the sieve of the final examinations of the Plebe year. With experience to guide us in judging the faculty we entered the Sophomore year. To show that superstitions are out of date, the class banquet was held on Friday, the thirteenth of January, at the Hotel Schcnley. The only feature lacking was the Plebe president, who unexpectedly declined an invitation after arrangements in the form of a high chair, a bib, a bottle, and pajamas had been prepared for his comfort. The Bottle-Washers met the Engine-Wipers on the day before Thanksgiving, and in the game of football that followed tramped their opponents’ carcasses into the mud to the tune of 2-0. The officers of the first term were elected unanimously to serve for the remainder of the year, and everyone is now buried in work beyond hope of fussing. 80 NIGHT SOPHOMORE CLASS. Chronicle of 1913, Night THE Class of 1913 began its race with an enrollment of eighty-seven, but fate in the form of the unlucky hoodoo “Thirteen” has tripped so many of our members during the first two laps of the course that there are left but five of the original eighty-seven to do battle for the class. These, with two backsliders from the class of 12 and a few irregulars who have been wounded by the hoodoo are approaching the end of the third lap in good form. A class meeting was held in January, at which the following officers were elected: President, R. E. Buffington; Vice-President, C. I. Lucas; Secretary and Treasurer, G. S. Diehl; Historian, C. M. Vetter; Athletic Representative, R. Griffith; Social Committee, J. J. Morgan; Class Adviser, Mr. Aude. As the class is so small, no attempt was made to hold a smoker or a dance, and instead of a banquet it was decided to test the culinary department of the Hotel Henry at a dinner on April 15th, and spend the evening enjoying '['lie Chocolate Soldier . Since all the social affairs of the class have been well attended and have proven very enjoyable, I feel that all who participated in the events of April 15th will remember the day with joy and gladness. Judging from the present status of this, the third lap of the course, and the fine spirit of the boys in the class, I am certain that we will have a very successful year and that the present members will stick to the end of the fifth lap. Although small in numbers, we are sufficient to make the Night Class of Thirteen famous. Foust. I know, will be a great man in the mechanical line, for he tries to make machines run at two speeds at the same time. Speaker is another. He is undecided whether he will take charge of the Panama Canal or calculate how much energy he expends in climbing the Soho dump. Diehl is going to invent a new kind of electricity that will not shock or blow out fuses; while our president will spend his time perfecting plans for an automatic hoodoo exterminator, and at present is hoping, with the rest of 11s, that the hoodoo's thirst for victims is about quenched, so that we may finish the course with unbroken ranks.

T. S., for that clay marks the coming of the class of 1914. Upon this, the day of our registration, the school and grounds were gaily and verdantly decorated in our honor, and we were very cordially received by a large delegation of Sophomores, that requested that we give an impromptu vaudeville performance for their edification. We did. Temporary officers were elected and plans laid for the on-coming class rushes. On the day preceding the conflict, Madison, the bold and daring, was cunningly lured into the clutches of the foe and secreted in a lone spot in the wilds of Schenley. A rescue party was hastily organized, which soon succeeded in locating and delivering our much abused treasurer. As a preliminary event to the main attraction, upon the advice of that beacon light of the Senior Class, McCorkle, “Dr.” Snyder, one of the Directors most able assistants, was drawn forcibly to his yearly ablution, to grace the foundry tank. Alas, before the deed was successfully accomplished the committee in charge stopped proceedings. The two classes, headed by the Tech Band did the “Snake Dance” to the Athletic Field. In the deadly struggle which followed the Sophs won by a narrow margin of three points, thanks to the greased pig. Our football team with Acheson as captain, had a very successful season, not losing a game. The Christmas vacation afforded a very desirable break in our arduous intellectual pursuits, and shortly after our return, the Sophomores had their banquet and persuasively invited our President, Mr. Johns, to attend. He declined the invitation by leaping, at the risk of his life, from the topmost story of a North Side building. A short period elapsed when the Epicureans of “1914,” of Applied Science and Applied Design, made merry around the festive board at the Monongahela House. “1913” remained blissfully in ignorance thereof. Toastmaster Johns introduced the speakers of the evening: Deans Hornbostel, Ueete, H. J. McCorkle, J. K. Lamorec, H. R. Auers-wald, 1 '. 11. Haaren, G. C. Smith, E. 11. Grotcfend, and L. R. Madison, who all ably discussed subjects of interest to the schools. The basketball team under the very efficient leadership of Capt. “Tater” Quilan, proved themselves premier artists in their line and won the interclass championship. In general we may say that the class of 19T4 has had a most successful year, and has succeeded in developing a spirit of unity and good fellowship, which has never been surpassed. We can feel thoroughly sure that this class will exalt the name of our Alma Mater throughout the land. 87 NIGHT PLEBE CLASS. Class 1915, Applied Science Night TN the twilight of the seasons, when baseball had answered the final A encore and football was just beginning to scrimmage for a monopoly of the sporting page, the 1915 Night Class of Applied Science entered the portals of Tech. Already they had passed under the kindly but piercing eye of the Dean, and the small but determined band of 100 was come to do or die in the battle for knowledge. The formality of assignment to different sections over, the men having become better acquainted, a meeting was held, the clans was organized and these officers were elected: President ................................. P. R. Jones. Vice-President ........................ E. H. Wii.son. Secretary-Treasurer ....................... S. GormlEy. A Ways and Means Committee of twelve members, three men from each section, was appointed by the President, to keep the fellows in touch and promote the welfare of the class. Success has attended th effort and a class and school spirit has sprung up. Furthering the class spirit a Smoker was held in the Industries building. An impromptu program of recitations, speeches, and songs were sandwiched with selections by the Class Orchestra. Corn-cobs and Durham were passed and over the smokes and a lunch the affair was voted a howling success. At the Smoker’s close a line formed and the students marched in a body to Forbes Street and proceeded to town via a Pittsburgh Railways taxi. The car fortunately was empty. A violin and a mandolin appeared as if by magic. Joy reigned unconfined, 'flic conductor dissented at first, but the fares collected, he, too, joined in the merrymaking. A Nickelodeon assaulted next did not prove at all hospitable and the party broke up. A night at the Gavetv was the next event on the program, the Class occupying a reserved section. Between acts the audience was entertained in song and class yells. A trip to a chop-suey joint wound up festivities that night. Arrangements are made for a banquet which will end the season. “The heights, by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.” S9 90 HENRY HORN HOSTEL, Pli.B.

Shu-u-rr-e 99 Applied Design History T N a preceding issue of The Thistle, a wish was expressed that this' year might find the School of Applied Design quartered in its own buildings. Unfortunately the wish has not been realized. However, owing to the recent gifts of Mr. Carnegie, the prospect of soon being housed in our own quarters is considerably brighter. Permanent quarters will add considerably to the advance in the work of the students. The work done this year is much superior to that done in former years, and every year finds us better known to the outside world. The work turned out by the school, especially in Architecture, compares very favorably with that of the best schools in the country. This may easily be seen by the number of Medals and First Mentions that are won in every competition. One of the main causes of this advancement is the increased interest taken by the students in their work, together with a conscientious desire to do the best possible. The art of procrastination is becoming less apparent than in former years. The Faculty has been increased by the addition of Mr. Geo. V. Sotter, as Instructor in Freehand Drawing, and of Mr. Ii. A. Schwab, as Instructor in Architecture. Last spring the greatest event of the year took place at Donegal Inn, W est View. 'Phis was the annual Patrons' Dinner. It was a great success, as it has been every year and everybody enjoyed themselves to the utmost. The annual ball game was played between the Day and Night students. It was a heart-breaking game, victory finally being won by the Night men. 'Phis year saw many new faces lined up as plebes; but it did not take any one long to settle down to real work. The first Render was October 24th. and many a gallon of all-night oil was burned the previous Saturday night. Everybody worked like fiends in order to finish on time. Charrettc Week is certainly a great thing. It is during this time when, if you ask a man if he thinks he will finish, you are liable to a sudden and vicious attack upon your anatomy. The more gentlemanly fellows do not answer, but simply point to a sign, which reads: “Yes. I am going to finish.” On the night of October 24th. without giving the fellows time to recuperate from their strenuous efforts of Charette Week, the first smoker of the year was held in the plebe draughting room. Nobody was too tired to have a good time, and those who didn’t smoke (very few. I think) were supposed to take some smokes for their friends who did. 100 An interesting talk was given to the students on Nov. 30th. by Mr. Geo. G. Barnard, the noted sculptor. Everyone was interested in his description of his first conception of the two allegorical groups of statuary that now adorn the Pennsylvania State Capitol. All were proud to shake hands with him at the close of his address. The affair that caused the commotion, however, was the Punch and Judy Show given by a chosen few of the Day men at Mr. Hornbostel’s reception to the Faculty of the Carnegie Technical Schools. It was held in the dance hall of Memorial Hall. The Punches and Judies displayed themselves in a neat frame at one end of the room and mimicked the different professors. Some of the make-ups were really startling in resemblance to their originals, and as each professor saw his counterpart start from behind the curtain lie- pinched himself to he sure he wasn't on the stage. The affair made a decided hit. and was the talk of the school for a few days. Notwithstanding the fact that we are enjoying life, we have worked hard and have mingled business and pleasure.- Let us continue to improve the standard of work of the school and strive to the end that some day we may proudly say we studied in one of the greatest schools, if not the greatest, in the country. 101 ■ i TECH ARCHITECTURAL CLUB Tech Architectural Club 4 4 fr President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Asst.

Carson. 107 Sophomore History OIXCE the publication of the “Thistle’’ last year, many interesting events have occurred in the history of the Class of 1913. One of the first and most-never-to-be-forgotten events was the annual Patron’s Dinner held at “Donegal Inn, on the 14th of May, 1910. At this affair the class was well represented as usual, and showed much spirit. Tech and otherwise. On the week following this big event came the last “class B charette of the school year and nearly all who had entered school in September, were now doing either the order or the plan project. With a final examination in descript, the school year ended the first of June. After spending the summer in various parts of the country the class again came together in September, with a few familiar faces missing and a few strange ones taking their places. The first and most important matter to consider was what to do with the new crop of plcbes. 'I'he newly arrived and acclimated plebes were therefore duly instructed in the traditions and mysteries of the school, and were most especially impressed with the red cap decree. Not only were all first year men required to wear the prescribed cap. but they were forbidden to wear necktie or sox of any color but black. Penalty for violation of the rules was a seizure of the offending apparel by this class. Owing to the fact that some plebes showed lack of interest in observing the prescribed fashion of head gear, ties, and sox. we reaped a beautiful harvest of these same forbidden hats, caps, ties and sox. Many a luckless, but sadder and wiser, plebe went home sans necktie, hat or even without sox: and many the plebe that was given the water cure as a means of strengthening the memory. However the real event of the opening week, (next to watching the bill boards) was the annual Sophomore-Plebe rush. This was held in the athletic field on Friday of the first week of school, and proved unusually exciting as the two classes were so evenly matched. After a series of hard fought battles, 1913 won out, and in doing so won the undisputed right to torture plebes, at pleasure. After the scrap came a pe-rade and feed, which was followed in the evening by a bonfire scene on the campus. The plcbes were made to tote fuel from the ravine nearby. On the 29th of October the class, again having an opportunity to display its “Tech Spirit , turned out in a body (almost to a man), and joined the several classes of the other schools in a pilgrimage to Wash- 108 ington, Pa., to witness the foot-ball game with W. J. So many Tech rooters turned out that four special cars were needed to accommodate them. Between these periods of excitement the class as a whole showed its ability to make good at the more serious side of student life. The first problem in “Class B” plan was “An automobile garage” while the order problem was “An entrance to a Courtyard.” These reached a climax in a very ordinary and uneventful charette. The second “Class B plan project called for “An Art Museum” and the “Analytic” for an entrance to a fort. In the midst of this problem came the Christmas vacation, or rather what should have been a vacation. However, on account of charette week following directly after, this two week vacation was cut in half by the faculty and in many cases cut down to almost zero by the students themselves, who have come, almost, to associate vacations with myths. After this vacation, so called, school opened directly on charrette week. Two members of this class Disque and Jones were awarded first Mentions on their museums. The next event to break the air of tranquility which hangs over the drafting room, was the week of semester exams. Following this by about a month came the biggest “Class B” charettes ever known to this class. As this was a difficult problem, that of designing “A Winter Circus” the demand for “niggers”, drawing boards, lights and “crits” increased as the charette came to a climax. Here again two members of the class, Crosby and Dillcnbach, were awarded first Mentions. At the several smokers held during the season the class has been well represented, as also at the Tech Architectural Club dance and in the Punch and Judy show given at Mr. Hornbosters reception in the Memorial. 109 DAY I’LEBE CLASS.

Applied Design, Girls, Interior Decoration SOME people are laboring under the delusion that fair femininity is hut lately indigious to Design School soil—a mere matter of two or three years’ growth. To such as these, permit me to state, that as far hack as the dark ages of 1905 and 1906 these mighty raftered ceilings, warm cement floors and soft brick walls were wrapped cozily around a veritably seething mass of aforesaid femininity. In fact this section of the building now occupied by the School of Applied Design once housed the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women. The old building seems never to have been free from girls for it was but a short while after the “pioneers moved to their palatial home, just over the hill, that rustling petticoats again crossed her portals. It happened in this wise. The M. M. C. S. had a poor little course that didn't thrive in the new and alien atmosphere so it had to be returned to its home—to a home, however, that had now become infested by many miserable masculine bipeds. But this course, which answered to the name of “Interior Decoration,” had several true and faithful feminine devotees who clung to it tenaciously and even followed it back to its man-frequented home. Under their loving study the course thrived mightily—in spite of the slight set-back it had when two of its fair followers forsook it for a sister course named Architecture. In the fall of 1909 these two sister courses came by another sister called Illustration. Now this course immediately won its way to the hearts of many maidens who immediately proceeded to win their way to the heart of the Design School. Now, be it whispered, the Powers that Be had not been officially apprized of this, by some termed, “feminine invasion. But when our beaming patron, claimed in fond appreciation, by us all, as “Uncle Andy,” sojourned briefly in our school and came all unaware upon a group of longish tresses and gingham aprons, he smiled his justly world famous smile and welcomed them gladly and literally with outstretched hand. Thus it happened that these halls are no longer permeated with the savory odor of some experiment in soup concocting, but instead one's nostrils are greeted with a medley of smells which, when separately conceived are recognized as arising from a freshly smeared palette, or from a barrel of modeling clay, (Have you ever daintily sniffed the depths of such a barrel?), or from a rapidly combusting pipeful of tobacco in masculine regions. Now. instead of firm white hands kneading snowy mounds of the stall of life, the hands,—not always white it must be confessed,—are 113 employed in squeezing ghastly green gobs of greasy plastalene into life like forms. Now the whir of the sewing machine is heard no longer, but instead the merry whack of T square and triangle. Temperature is now not a matter of Fahrenheit degrees but of the relative warmth of pigment tints. We take it hack—the odor of cookery is still to he detected in our building. But it arises not from experimental dishes hut from the essential, twelve o’clock “wittles . It seeps through the club room transom and savors distinctly of beans and toast. An epoch making event is to transpire this June. The girls are about to lose the first of their number by diploma. This is an event of historical importance, foreshadowing as it does the hoard of “sweet girl graduates who in future years will wreak artistic vengeance on a defenseless world. Slander, as you all know, is accredited with a ghastly visage which it sometimes rears in certain halls of learning so that the term “co-ed has come into disrepute. But slander has not intruded itself here. Here youths and maidens, artists in embrvo, dwell contented, little mindful of 9 7 each other, in their common devotion to the Three Sisters.

Thistle Representatives. I rHE Xight Classes in Architecture. Decoration and Illustration have A shown a large increase in membership over previous years. In the class in Architecture there were many “Xoveaux who have been doing excellent work in the “Order Projets and the preliminary plates. 114 besides showing much interest by a regular and constant attendance in the different lectures in History of Architecture, Ornament, etc. In the classes in Decoration the new students have profited by the example set them by the older students who have been steadily gaining honors in the school judgments of the problems in Decoration with now and then an excursion into the “Order Problems” and “Archaeology” Projets of the Beaux Arts Society schedule. Prof. Hewlett has professed himself much delighted by the progress made during the present year. In the course in Illustration the Life Class has been a most popular feature and every other week the enthusiastic devotees of the Muse gather in the Freehand Room to do picturesque and exquisite work in charcoal and oil from the model. Enthusiasm ran so high that it was found necessary to institute Saturday afternoon classes, which have had a remarkable attendance. The gradual “quituation” of most of the old guard has left but a small number of night students taking the advanced problems in Architecture, so that there are but few honors to record in plan problems of Class “A” and “B”. The proudest triumph to our credit is the success of our rising young architect, well known to all (Mr. B. Smith) in the first preliminary competition for the Paris Prize winning second place in a field of one hundred eight competitors. This, with one or two first mentions in Class “B” Plan makes the sum total of our success, but we look forward with pride and confidence the entrance of our noble yearlings into the regular problems of the S. B. A. A. when we shall again gain the ascendency and as of yore make the brightest light of the day gang look but as a sickly candle in the face of the refulgent splendor of our renascent sun. On the social side there has been much of interest, though mostly of an impromptu nature but all things fade into a vanishing point when compared with the annual Atelier Dinner. This epoch marking event was pulled off at Donegal Inn. which is in the vale of West View forninst the park, and was literally a howling success. The Ball Game was played in the afternoon and the night nine departed with the cup as usual, but not until a game was played by teams made up from the members of the night and day faculties. which latter put the others in the shade. This game was umpired by Prof. Ferrand whose intimate knowledge of the game rendered him peculiarly fitted for such a position and whose keen sight and quick and accurate decisions put Horny’s batting and Weber’s base running in a class far below that to which their great natural talents and careful training would otherwise have entitled them. 115 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Sue Watson, Francis Evans, Helen Thomson, Florence Uhrbom, Mary Williams, Rowkna Jekeerson, Mabel Cowan, Edith Cunnings, Grace Garland Miller, Crombik, Murna Dunkle, Eleanor Tener.

Senior History WE, the Class of 1911, unquestionably the most intelligent class that will ever graduate from the M. M. C. S., have led, for the most part, a fairly quiet, peaceful existence. Although we have had the new schedule of one year specialization tried on us, we are still alive,—that certainly shows that there is something in bur heads besides hairpins. In our Plebe year, we emerged from the obscurity that overshadowed our fresh and innocent charms, long enough to give a vaudeville performance, which established that form of dramatic art on a higher plane than its advocates had ever dreamed of attaining for it,— and secured for us such fame and notoriety that we were glad to subside and be silent—for a while, at least. At the beginning of our Junior year, we had the inspiration to make the incoming Plebes wear green ribbons on their hair. Did they want to? Oh no. but they wore them, just the same! To every Junior, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means a great deal,—as much as the schedule in fact. “Life —the joy of cutting whenever one wishes; “liberty —the right of petition; “the pursuit of happiness —always something to cat. In this year, time is reckoned “B. I and “A. P.”— Before the Prom, and After the Prom. We are compelled to say that this was the greatest dance ever given. The moon fairly wriggled—and you all know that when he is tickled, blase old chap that he is—there is something “on . This our last year, has already had several red letter days, one of the most vivid being the evening the Faculty allowed us to have a dance in the building. Yes. they did! The girls have all worked exceedingly hard in the courses they have chosen—if you accept their version;—the Household Artcrs have computed the number of Calories they must have to enable them to climb from the Locker room to the Fourth floor, as they do—when they can’t get the elevator key; the Dressmakers cut. fit, baste, stitch a little—and appear in a new gown; the Secretarial emerge from protracted sessions of hooks and curves, Johnnie and Janie, so full of the Secretarial idea, that they arc all getting thin; while the Costume Design lassie has toiled bravely along by herself, drawing, always drawing. Plans for the Final Exercises (we are trying to forget Exams) arc being carefully thought out by the committees appointed for Commencement Week. We have practiced the “Farewell, Alma Mater song several times, but the effect on us was so sad and pathetic, that the Faculty became alarmed, and forbade this melancholy pleasure, lest we dissolve in tears and fade away. This class will always remain one in heart, and in remembrance of the days we have spent together, “toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing. Father Time treat us as well as we hope he may our Ivy vine, coming to 11s from Skibo. 100 Katiii-rini; Swickard. 123 Senior Class If you wish to know the Seniors, Just gaze upon this list.

Dawson Gallery’s private car at Forbes Street and Schenley Park, is met by a knowing Senior who acts as guide. The guide immediately takes charge of the party and they proceed toward the bridge which spans Panther Hollow. After crossing they turn to the left and walk a short distance. Ladies and gentlemen, to your left you now see a few small buildings. These belong to the group known as the Carnegie Technical Schools. But they arc the least important of the group, being occupied entirely by masculine students. “Kindly observe that the buildings face the beautiful lawn of Schenley Park. 'Phe students are allowed to loll about here, and. in the spring when the grass is nice and green, they are scarcely noticeable. W e will now proceed to the most imposing and interesting of the group.” It is now necessary for the party to go single file for a time. “What did you say. madam? Yes, no doubt you would stick if you fell into it. “You now behold the beautiful structure known as the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women. Observe the odd construction of the entrance court and the novel inscription inscribed on the cornice. 'Phe party enters. “These are the faculty rooms. The students are permitted to use these rooms at all times. Especially during class periods. “Just glance at the easy chairs and cozy divans. “To your left, at the end of the hall, is the laboratory. You know it at once. Xo. he is not angry; that is just his natural expression. “This is the office. I take great pleasure in introducing to you. Miss West, the Dean of the School. “Now to tlie other extreme of the hall is Assembly Hall. This is an ideal place for conversation. “Let us go upstairs. Observe the beautiful ornamental iron work of the stairway. 'Phe idea was to make this part of the interior as attractive as possible, the elevator being for the exclusive use of the faculty.” Party arrives at the second floor. “This is a very interesting feature of the school. Basketry? Xo. millinery. The girl at the mirror is Miss Hamilton. “Down this way, please. A class in English Literature. Yes, I 139 guess they are reading a Shakespearean play. But it would be hard to tell. “We come now to the Secretarial Department. Miss Williams' filing class. Wonderful system, but not quite complete. She intends to start a subject file for love-letters. Luke-warm—medium—intense. “Mr. Wood’s class in book-keeping. Seems to be popular. Oh, yes! he is, very. ‘‘This is the Stenography Room, where the students instruct Mr. Cannon in Phonography and typewriting. “Down this way. This is an English class room.” The party passes on, after a smile from Miss Arrowsmith. It will be necessary to climb the stairs to get to the Cooking Class on the third floor. You will, no doubt, wonder why the students of this class are so thin. It has been said that they live entirely on food prepared by themselves. “This is the sewing room. Nothing but the most up-to-date models used here. Mrs. Mills, the lady at the end of the table is busily engaged in constructing a harem skirt, which she intends to wear to the Senior Ball.” The party ascends to the fourth floor. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have now come to the Designing Class. Young ladies are here taught to design anything from a church window to a label for a soup can. “Over this way is the gymnasium. Used once a year for the “Junior Promenade.” Party descends four flights. “We have now, ladies and gentlemen, completed the tour. As you have been through the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, I take great pleasure in presenting each one with a diploma.” “Good-night!” “Come again.” C. S., Ti. 140 1911 Night Class Poem Hurrah for the 1911 Night girls, With pretty, young faces, sweet smiles and soft curls. With natures so gentle, so tender, so sweet, They come to the School with hurrying feet. No matter if weather be stormy or fair, Most faithfully duties arc done while they’re there. I11 all the departments of life bear in mind, Some Margaret Morrison Night girls you’ll find. In Miss Clara Staving, the president, find Those virtues which help the school spirit to bind. Miss Adams, the secretary, to class business attends, And much of her spare time in this manner spends. 'I'he minutes are kept with perfection of care To find fault with them no critic would dare. At the home of Miss Dunlap—stenography class— A sign of her trade you will see as you pass. The stenography, bookkeeping part of the School Will graduate pupils the world’s finance to rule. From the sewing department behold the fine gowns That are fitted for heads entitled to crowns. 'I'he centre of fashion no more is Paris (pronounced Paree), That realm is established far over the sea. In Pittsburgh proud Fashion is holding full sway, So to the home city our reverence we’ll pay. This triumph to M. M. C. S. girls is due And many for entrance to the proud School now sue, To hear Miss Hammond, the sewing class belle, The tale of her many great victories tell. Mrs. Mills from far England’s belov-cd land Still for her country takes a firm stand. Her unfailing kindness and fullness of life Keep her class always free from hard feeling and strife. 141 Next in due order comes the Millinery class, Which without notice one never should pass. Here hats are trimmed in the latest style, To see them, people come many a mile. The girls take a frame and make such a hat That others exclaim, “O might we do that !” Next the cooking class in the kitchen we see And hope that some day they’ll invite us to tea. When Miss Schultz of this class became a fair bride. The rest of the class with envy just sighed: Their teacher and subject they all love so well, The pleasures of cooking they constantly tell. They have learned how to cook both meats and a stew. How to make more things than anyone knew, Salads and biscuits and fair loaves of bread, Hereafter in hunger no tears need be shed. Margaret Morrison girls are the brightest of all, Where’er you may go on this terrestrial ball When things must be done in the very best manner Margaret Morrison girls will carry the banner. B. J. S.

What! you have never been here before! Well, you surely have missed something worth while. Are you a stranger in Pittsburgh? Then you will have wondrous tales to carry back home. Take pity on you and tell you something of our school and of my class? Of course 1 will, if you are really interested. Oh. no! I'm not a Senior. A mere Junior. I.—at least that’s what any Senior would tell you. But really, just between you and me, there's no comparison between the two classes. They have to pretend to the superiority usually granted to the older class. Why! in our Plebe year, they actually had to beg us to put green ribbons on our hair so that the ordinary observer would not take us for Seniors. Xo indeed we didn't! Oh, yes, we had to play some trick on the Plebes. So when our turn came, we----------. W ell, you see we belong to the Universal Uplift Club, so when we saw so many really nice girls in the Plebe class who thought it necessary to imitate the haystack coiffures, we calmly gathered them, a few at a time, into a little room. Then gently, kindly, but very firmly, we uplifted all unnecessary additions to their “crowning glory . For a moment—I blush to confess it— we forgot our Junior dignity and gave a little scalp dance. Someone called that the Dean was coming, and you should have seen us scatter! Of course, she teaches us to do our best in the Uplift line, but we were afraid she would be a little skeptical of our methods. Dramatic! Well. I should say so! That reminds me. Have you heard anything of our Dramatic Club? Indeed we have! Xot the entire school, just Juniors and Seniors. Well, this year we staged Miss Stoner’s beautiful “Christmas play. Yes, indeed, it is. And we have a Glee Club, too. We give a concert every year—this time it's to be at the end of May. Oh, yes, you must come! We do! Go in for almost everything! Behold in me—a Junior, able to cook a tempting inexpensive meal, to discuss some deep economic question, to design and make my own clothes, to analyze any unknown substance, to make $500 cover all family expenses for a year, or to talk learnedly on the Middle Ages! (?) Smile, if you like, I don’t mind. But really, there’s no place like this! Oh my! I really can’t think of anything else that would be interesting to an outsider. And we really haven’t had so much excitement this year. Is that the music for the next dance? Oh. you’re quite welcome ! Yes, I am. too. Very glad to have met you. 150 M. M. C. S. Juniors The other night we had some pie, and oh ! but it was good. 1 ate, and ate—and, well I guess, I had more than I should. But it was Maggie Murphy pie, the kind one dreams about; Also the kind that makes you dream—of that I have no doubt. For woe is me! I thought I’d die all through that dreadful night, All my past and dire misdeeds appeared before my sight. Then suddenly—and oh what joy!—at school once more I stood; But, somehow, place and people, too, seemed not just as they should. The Junior Class, A, B, C, outside the school did stand— A happier and brighter class there is not in the land— The doors were locked! What could it mean? We must investigate! Behold ! a sign. “Assembly’s o’er. Go home. You are too late.” Possessed with “freedom of the will”, we called a class meeting, And decided that for us school was the only thing. So through a window, silently, we, one by one, did creep, Each one registering a vow we’d ne’er again o’ersleep. But once inside—oh dreadful thought!—whom should we first descry? It was the Dean, and mad was she. Trouble was in her eye. And by her side the Faculty, ranged in a solemn row, Shaking their heads as if to say, “Juniors! I told you so!’’ “Halt!” the Dean did thunder, and the class obeyed as one. “Before you dare enter here the gauntlet you must run. Every question answer, correctly, quickly, too, Or else you find in M. M. C. S. there is no place for you.” “Why,” asked the first Professor—our horseman of great fame— “Why should Psychology be called by that name? And how should a little child be expected to know That the legs on a chair and not the floor do grow?” “And tell me,” demanded the next one. “if nauseating fumes Of II2S which you have made should fill all these rooms, Why should a heathen cannibal be expected to know That only in the sea do bromine products grow?” 152 “And I would really like to know.’’ asked our history teacher small, “Why, if Rome fell, the Seljut Turks should interest us at all?” “And tell me, of you Juniors! if dancing fills with grace Why, with wild contortions, you all your joints displace?” “Can you draw your breath in crayons, and water-color it?” “Can you make a charming little dress and make it really lit?” “Can you embroider thistles? Make a tablecloth so grand That It’s considered all O. K. to send to Skibo-land?” “Can you poison your worst enemy quite without detection? If not, upon my cooking class you cast a bad reflection.” “And tell me just what remedies you must needs apply If. bv a very dread mistake, you feed someone your pie?” “A letter proper you should write.” a teacher then assured us, “But what, but to insanity, could all of yours have lured us?” “And tell me to the very cent, if wealth were properly Distributed upon this earth, what’d come to you and me?” “Can you make one-thousand yearly,” another one demands, “Cover family expenses and a trip to foreign lands?” “And why, if Demosthenes pebbles daily ate. Why. oh why, cannot you most beautifully orate?” “Of all the hot air round this school, how much must there be Of carbo-hydrates, proteins, fats to give a calorie?” So the questions fast and thick upon poor Juniors fell. Befuddled, helpless, scared, they—the ones who’d worked so well! And then—to the rescue! Will wonders never cease? It was the Dean, and, in her hand, the olive branch of peace. “Poor Juniors! Poor benighted chicks! With von I sympathize! Xo more will I be hard on you! X'o more I’ll criticize!” Her words settled all troubles. But. alas! I did awake To most solemnly promise, “Xo more pie I'll take. Xo. rather let starvation wipe me slowly out of sight. Than I should keep on cooking and seeing things at night.” O. L. J. 153 SECOND YEAR NIGHT CLASS. Photo by O. C. Henry Junior Night Class History | f HE home stretch of the race for the final goal, a certificate from the M. M. C. '1'. S., is just around the corner for the Class of 1912. Those of us who complete the work this year will be readyr when the call for assembly comes in October, to begin another two years’ course along a different line. It has indeed been a very busy year for the classes; dressmaking, millinery, bookkeeping and stenography have furnished the students with work to keep their time engaged during the nights of their attendance at school as well as those set apart for home work. As might have been expected, many who were with 11s last year failed to report when classes started in October after the summer vacation; but those of us who have continued in the pursuit of knowledge, as exemplified in the several courses, have derived both pleasure and profit therefrom. As soon as the class had fairly started its work for the term, a meeting was called for the purpose of electing class-officers. The meeting proved to be a lively one and the officers chosen have already shown their ability to carrv things through successfullv. • O o 'Phc most important event of the year was our Junior “Prom” which was held in the Gymnasium on February 2. 1911. The Class President, Mrs. Jones, and the patronesses greeted the guests in the hall of the Apartment after which dancing began, the Faculty retiring to the Gymnasium stage where they smiled on one and all. The color scheme of the decorations was red and green, relieved by college pennants of all kinds and sizes tastefully displayed and fully covering the walls, while a large Carnegie pennant was hung in the center of the room. Light refreshments were served during the evening. All had a most delightful time which was further emplified by the financial success which gave the crowning glory to the enjoyable occasion. It is impossible to disassociate the past from the future, and it may be proper in closing these few lines to say that our past years’ experiences have stimulated a strong desire to make this year the banner one of the course and that we all look forward to the honor of graduation as a race well run and a victory fairly won. J. A.. 1912. 155 Founder’s Day has conic and gone. And Andy was on hand, To greet our Junior Class and all Who came from many a land. We do most anything at school, But of course, not disobey; We always keep “The Golden Rule” And improve each flying day. 4 4 4 O! Hurrah, Hurrah, for the second year dress-making class, ho have as instructors two who are hard to surpass, Stitching and ripping and pressing are part of this game, But courage, strength and good will will not put us to shame. Second Year Dress-making Class. 156 We might mention a few things of use, That arc done by a Margaret Morrison girl, We do sewing, cooking and study, you know, Until our brains are all in a whirl. N. S. 157 ssvio ana'ui Plebe Class History SEPT. 19th.—Registration Day. Everything was hustle and bustle today. We have the nicest class of the nicest girls! I just know we have a brilliant future before us. Saw some of the Juniors sizing us up today. W onder if they have any evil intentions. Sept. 26th.—One whole week gone! Our class, like “all Gaul,” is divided into three parts, as we found ourselves to be in three separate divisions. Each division has the same studies but at different periods; so it is a trifle confusing when all the girls arc in the halls at once and one tries to find the right room at the right time. The school building is like a huge labyrinth with, unfortunately, no silken string to guide our invariably-in-the-wrong-direction footsteps. But, after every person is settled and all is peace once more, it is amusing to see a stray Plebe hastening along the hall, seeking her one haven of rest,—her next recitation room. It reminds one of a tiny peepie that has been rescued from the rain barrel and is wildly hunting for its mother. As to the Juniors,—they “aint sayin' nothin'.” Like Br’cr Fox. they're “jes' lavin' low.” Sept. 27th.—'Phe fatal day has arrived. A notice appeared on the Bulletin Board today, commanding. “By Order of Ye Noble and Exalted Juniors that we “insignificant Plebes” come to school tomorrow with our hair unadorned, except for a bright green bow; also our hair must hang down our backs. Horrid creatures! As if they think they can domineer over us! But I am glad that green is a becoming color. Sept. 28th.—“It’s a shame! It’s an outrage!! It?s an insult!!!” Such were the cries that reached my ears today, as I was on my way down from the lunch room to the locker rooms. You can imagine that I didn’t stand upon the order of my going. as I flew to reach the scene that was causing this terrible outburst. And what do you suppose 1 saw? Why. nothing less than three big, husky Juniors with a helpless Plebe on the floor! They were taking her hair down, and one of them had actually “taken off” the poor child's curls and was holding them up and—laughing. Well!! My pen is simply too indignant to write more. Oct. 14th.—We had the jolliest time today. The Faculty and Seniors gave us a little Reception. They entertained us with music and readings, and altogether showed us a delightful afternoon. And when the time for departing drew near, we were loath to leave the scene of festivities. Nov. 30th.—Elected our class officers today. We feel a little more 159 stable now. Four of our most charming girls hold the offices: Ora Pendleton as President, with Margaret Harrison as Vice-President; Florence Megahon as Treasurer, and Elizabeth Ash as Secretary. Dec. 14th.—The Plebes didn’t have much to do with it, except make the decorations, but they all emphatically pronounced the Christmas Play given by the Seniors and Juniors a grand success! Jan. 20th.—Today was our first really truly game of basketball. Our team has been practicing for weeks, and today the eventful game between the Seniors and Plebes was played. The Seniors won with a score of 17 to 10. We are taking our defeat calmly, with hopes for the future tucked in. Feb. 16th.—“Sh ! Sh! Girls! Girls!” Xot once did we hear that familiar cry-in-distress this blessed, blissful week. Oh! The joys of interim week! Would that they were more frequent! Feb. 28th.—Hurrah! I knew we could do it. And the score was 17 to 9, too. How mortified the poor Juniors must feel after their exceeding brave and boastful maneuvers during the first few weeks of school! But we are a sportsman-like class and shall say little about our glorious victory. Also, we are a merciful, a kind, a compassionate class, and I'm sure that, out of pure sympathy for the Juniors, our forwards actually closed their eyes while throwing for the basket sometimes. March 1st.—As I sit and muse over our past achievements, mental and physical, of this our first year at dear old M. M. C. S., I'm sure I express the sentiment of the whole class when I say that we glory in our past achievements and anticipate a brilliant future. We resolve to go from victory to victory, ever maintaining class loyalty and upholding the standards of M. M. C. S. Mary Wextzel. 160 191 K1KST YKAR NIGHT CLASS Photo by O. C. Honry Night Class, 1912 T1IK School life of the Class of 1912 has been as smooth and unruffled as a calm summer sea. In the beginning of our school life the law of the Medes and Persians went forth through the land, decreeing that the first year classes should in no way participate in the social activities of the school; hence, the quiet serenity of the atmosphere. The only event of importance has been the class organization and election of officers for the term, the following having been chosen: President .......................... Mrs. L. Goldman. Secretary-Treasurer .................... Miss Maderia. Two of our teachers. Miss Bray, of the Secretarial Department, and Miss Hartman, of the Cooking, entered school with the Class of 1912, and have been adopted as heart members of the same. We, as beginners, have, of necessity been in the back ground, but tomorrow brings another day, and next year sees 11s Seniors, so we are waiting patiently for the time to come when we can write a History of which Margaret Morrsiox Carnegie School will be justly proud, and we feel confident that the bookkeepers, stenographers, dressmakers, milliners, and cooks who will be granted certificates in 1912. will be the highest grade and best product of the school. It is Written. Elizabeth Marshall Loxgdon, Historian. 163 DAY SKNIOR Cl.ASS. Dramatics + 1- fr The Triumph of St Nicholas The operetta presented before the holidays by the Dramatic Club of the Margaret Morrison School was a decided success. The first performance given on the afternoon of the seventeenth. was given for the other members of the day school and a few invited guests, and the final one on the night of the eighteenth. The gymnasium stage had been especially fitted for the occasion with extra lights and decorations, which set off the scenery painted by Mr. Russell Hewlett, to the best advantage. The costumes for the piece were all made in the Costume Design Department of the M. C. C. S., under the direction of Miss Adair. Miss Stoner did well with the lines of the play in having them so closely conform to the phraseology of the times. The music of her songs was consistently good and catchey. especially. “Snip, snip, snip. and “Tick, a tack tay. 'I'lie limits of the stage made any elaborate dancing out of the question, but what was presented was well devised and executed. 'I'lie introduction of the Scotch piper to furnish the music for the Scotch dance was quite a novelty and one that was appreciated by the audience. Altogether, the girls of the Dramatic Club of the Margaret Morrison are to be congratulated on being able to do such creditable work, and in having a Miss Stoner to do such clever lines and songs for them. TUK COKRT OK ST. VALENTINE Margaret Morrison Carnegie Workers THE Margaret Morrison Carnegie Guild was organized March, 1910, by the Class of 1911, with Miss Margaret Carnegie as the only patroness and honorary member. The Guild owed its origin to some work done in connection with Social Ethics, when the girls, learning of the charitable labors of the Needlework Guild, decided to organize a chapter in this school. 'Phe Guild is for the purpose of working for some charity, chosen by the members.—making with our needles some article of clothing for children. The dues arc only twenty-five cents a year, but each member is required to make one garment for charity, and one article for the annual bazaar. This bazaar is held on or about. December first of each year, in the school building, when the retiring president delivers the Constitution, as the symbol of authority, to the new president; the control, however, not being transferred until January first. As a result of the first year of work, three dozen bathing suits, with twenty-five dollars were sent to Kingsley House; the money having been made at the opening entertainment. 'Phe administration of Guild affairs is through three presiding officers from the Junior Class; the Board of Councillors, consisting of one representative from each section of the Junior Class, together with the Alumnae, Senior and Plebe presidents:—the term of office extending from January first of the Junior year until January first of the Senior year. The officers serving the first year were. President. Katherine Swickard; Vice-President, Marguerite Farrell: Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Hartmann. The girls now in office are. President, Elizabeth Lawrie; Vice-President. Dorothy Savage; Secretary-Treasurer, Marguerite Gurley. 'Phe opening entertainment was held in the Gymnasium on the afternoon of December 10th. 1910. The Alumnae sold fancy work articles' from a most attractive booth, while the girls of the school held sway behind the candy table, which was decorated with Southern smilax and small electric lights. Household Arts girls in dainty pink dresses and white caps, served tea and cake to the guests. Miss Stoner was in charge of the program, which was given by the Glee Club; Jane Caldwell and Helen Baglin. soloists; and Mary Morrow. Ruth Henderson, Olive Jenkins and Lina Connelly, as Greek dancers. Work for the coming year is being planned along the same lines as the work of last year. The material for the garments is soon to be distributed, as it is desired to have the work finished before the summer vacation. Already the girls are planning what they shall make for the bazaar, so it may surpass the one given, as the members wish to have each year better than the last. 168 TIIE word “Athletics’ means more than ever before to the iris of M. M. C. S. this year. And basketball is the thing. The Seniors, as is fitting (but perhaps (?) not to be expected) have gloriously carried off the championship with a record on which there is not a single defeat. 1G9 SENIOR BASKET BALL TEAM Photo by 0.

ON the evening of June n, 1910, the members and alumni of the Carnegie Mechanical Society were again assembled at the German Club as guests of Prof. W. Trinks. The evening was made enjoyable by the banquet and speeches. The methods of the United States Patent Office were described by a well-known patent attorney of Pittsburg. 'Phis field for the mechanical engineer is a new one and therefore very interesting. After the festivities the election of officers was held. Mr. H. T. Woods was elected President; David Henderson, vice-president; Scott L. McCartney. Treasurer, and II. Holiday, Secretary. This latest celebration given by Prof. Trinks will pass into history as one of the most enjoyable affairs the Carnegie Mechanical Society has ever indulged in. At the beginning of the new school year preparations were made for making this the best in the history of the society. A fine set of lectures have been given during the winter semester. The society has made great strides toward being the strongest and most influential organization of the school. A room has been granted by the school for the society's use as a club room and meeting room. Elegant furniture and a library have been installed by the members and the room is a great credit to both the society and school. The hope of the members is that the society shall make as great progress in the future as it has done in the past year. 201 —' CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY. The Civil Engineering Society T N speaking of the profession of civil engineering we do so in a very relative sense, indeed. In the olden days before machinery, steam and electricity had wrought such a change in industrial life, and when war was a thing of almost daily occurrence, the term civil engineer meant one engaged in those engineering pursuits not military. The civil engineer built roads, bridges, water systems, buildings, temples, arenas and most of those works having to do with civil life. Of course, we had the chemist probably earlier than any of the other scientists, but chemistry has not become applied to industry and engineering until comparatively modern times. The builders of the pyramids were in the truest sense civil engineers. 'Phc problems confronting those men were the same as those confronting the civil engineer of today. To transport that vast pile of material and erect it, according to a preconceived plan and with as little friction as possible, was exactly the same problem that the modern civil engineer has in bringing to hand the materials for a great dam like the Roosevelt dam or the Gatun dam, only the Egyptian did not have as good facilities as we have today. So the oldest purely engineering profession is that of civil engineering. The civil engineer, until comparaitvely modern times, had to know a little along all lines of applied science, and it was not until the development of steam and electric power and machinery that specialization took place. Then we began to divide up and find part of us chemists, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, etc., until now we are a great host, each part performing its duties in a sense apart from the others. Down through the history of science we will find little bands of men interested in science joined together into a society to help each other in the profession, gain help and inspiration through companionship and impart to each other knowledge acquired through practical experience. The Civil Engineering Society of the Carnegie Technical Schools is one of those societies, which is trying to promote a fraternal feeling, and spread practical ideas in a social way. The attendance at the meetings this year has been very good. At a joint meeting of the Carnegie Mechanical Society and our society on which occasion Mr. H. K. Myers delivered an excellent lecture on “The Evolution of the Steam Engine , the number was so large that the facilities for serving the usual refreshments were inadequate. 203 Prof. Severance Barrage, Pli.l).. Professor of Sanitary Science in Purclae University, lectured on “The Relation of Biology to Engineering’'. This was a lecture of particular value to the sanitary men. At an invitation from the Crucible Club, the society visited the office of Mr. John W. Boileau, and were very well entertained by an informal talk on Economic Geology Mr. A. R. Raymer read a paper describing the erection of the superstructure of the P. L. E. R. R. Co.’s cantilever bridge at Beaver, Pa. In this the society was greatly honored, for this paper was intended for reading before the American Society of Civil Engineers in New York City. But now we come to a part which is very pleasing.’ During the year some of the students gave talks on practical experience, and told stories which were entertaining and helpful. These helped the men who talked, as well as the other members of the society, and it is to be hoped, that more of it will be done in the coming years. All together the society has had a very good year due very much to the interest taken in it by the members. The officers for the first semester were: W illis A.

Great credit is due Prof. Wurts for his splendid efforts to encourage the men in this field. Last year the Wurts’ Cup for the best discussion was awarded to Mr. R. K. Culbertson. The Mho Club Prize for the best paper read during the year was awarded to Messrs. R. B. W allace and J. H. Waxman for a paper on “Arc Lamps and Lighting.” The monthly meetings of the Club have become events to which both members and non-meml crs look forward with pleasure. Socially, athletically and scientifically our record is one of which to be proud. The following papers have been read during the past year November 9th, 1910. “Photographic Processes”, by Dr. G. W Allyn. December 7th, 1910. Debate on “Storage Batteries”, by W. C. Brand and H. H. Johnston versus R. W. Hunter and M. L. Patterson. January 4th, 1911. “The Financial Side of the Lighting Problem”, H. N. Muller. March 1st, 1911. “Scientific Management”, by J. H. W'axman. 211 THE ARMY. The Army C EW events of the past year are more worthy of imperishable record than the organization of that unique and altogether admirable association. The Army. As a factor in the student life of C. T. S., it has become pre-eminent and indispensable. Under the dashing leadership of the gallant General blood, the members of this martial organization have accomplished deeds of incredible prowess. Beside furnishing continuous occupation for the janitors, the Army has conferred upon the community at large invaluable benefit by the noble manner in which they have conducted a consistent campaign for the suppression of the Naval forces, personified by the redoubtable Minnemeyer. On parade, the Army presents an appearance of sartorial impeccability hitherto undreamed of by the Sons of the Plaid. An idea of the pristine brilliancy of their accoutrements may be gained by an examination of the impressionistic cravats with which “Skipper Beck is concealing his blushing collar-button. The social headquarters of the Army is a luxurious tlat, difficult of access save to the elect, and maintained by the clique. Among other objets d’art it contains a complete library of mathematical lore, a student-lamp of Pompeian design, and a coffer of “604 (believed by the uninitiated to be hasheesh, or some other oriental preparation). The officers of the corps are: Walter G. Flood. Commander-in-Chief; best athlete and wind-jammer in the crew. Harry K. Fisher, Quartermaster; maker of beds, manipulator of Ye Furnace and Prime Eater of Raw Spaghetti. N. B. He was never on pro. W illiam E. Beck, Corporal; Denizen of the North Side. Prep, at West View Military Academy. N. B. Has hopes of a “commish” if he keeps clear of a commercial drawing room. William “Whirl Conelly, “Chief Hook : Loyal member of the Insurrectos. He rooms with “Fish.” N. B. He's always on pro. Harry M. Gousha, “Minor Hook ; hailed by his companions-in-arms as the “real go-devil, and the “red nitherynkus'.” N. B.

Day Draftsmen's Club, 1910-1911 THIS club, which is one of the prominent organizations of the School of Applied Industries, is composed of students in the day class of Mechanical Drafting. It was organized Dec. 14, 1910. and commencing Jan. 14. 1911 regular bi-monthly meetings were held. At these meetings, the members were addressed by different members of the Faculty and papers were read by the members. The most notable of these papers was that given by Mr. J. P. Kennedy on “The Chemistry of Iron and Steel,” at which much notes were (not) taken. In mo6t respects, the club has prospered this year, the attendance has been exceedingly good and the enthusiasm abundant. Under the efficient supervision of the Sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Minnemeyer, complete order has been maintained at the meetings, although at times such unruly members as . G. Flood and C. F. Dixon have had to be ejected for the common good. Taken seriously, however, the Draftsmen’s Club has been instrumental in promoting that spirit of friendliness which can be looked back upon with pleasure in the years to come. And although the attention to serious work has been somewhat neglected, there is a world of opportunity for scientific study with the resulting help to the members. It is hoped that the succeeding classes will take up the work and make it the “live wire Club of the School of Applied Industries. The chief events of the year were the big smoker held in March and the annual banquet to be held in May. Officers for 1910-1911. President .......................... W. W. Conelly.

The clubs were very fortunate in securing the services of two excellent directors, both expert in their line. For the Glee Club Mr. R. J. McDowell was found. Through his winning personality and keen enthusiasm Mr. McDowell has won a place in the heart of every Glee Club man. He was also chosen as choral R. J. McDOWELL director of the schools, and in that capacity has not only developed a large male chorus but has inspired the students with spirit and enthusiasm. In Sgn. Gregorio Scalzo the Mandolin Club has as efficient a director as it is possible to obtain. Mr. Scalzo is tremendously interested in Mandolin Club music, and set out to organize a creditable club. His success has been phenomenal. The twenty members developed skill and ability under their able leader, until they were able to render selections not often attempted by clubs of this character. The Mandolin Club Sex- 223 SGX. GREGORIO SCALZO tette, picked from the ablest members of the club, won unlimited admiration by their skilful shading and interpretation of the Fifth Nocturne and the Polish Dance. The Glee Club Quartette called forth unstinted applause at all times. The four voices blended perfectly, and, with their large and varied repertoire, made a distinct hit wherever they sang. The management and administration of the clubs deserve considerable credit and praise for the decided improvement of this year’s organization over that of previous years. The policy at the outset was to produce a program which would contain good Glee and Mandolin Club music and still get away from the old style of Glee and Mandolin concert. Many new features were incorporated. G. C. Smith, and John Banbury impersonated Mutt and Jeff respectively. They appeared at odd and unannounced intervals during the program and rendered a sketch in Mexican costume. The Quartette came on in Scotch Highland kilts and sang Scotch songs. They wore the Carnegie tartan, and succeeded fairly well with the accent. The second part of the program was a campus scene at night. The 224 auditorium was darkened and the entire illumination, which was red, came from an imitation bon-fire, the red foot-lights and red Japanese lanterns overhead. The fellows came on, singing the stein song, and grouped themselves picturesquely about the bon-fire. They were dressed in loud college clothes of all kinds, and performed without a spoken word. This scene was very effective. 'Pile Home Concert this year eclipsed all previous ones. Carnegie Music Hall was splendidly decorated, and held an audience of over twelve hundred people. Every feature of the program was rendered smoothly and artistically. As an innovation a reception and dance for the students and alumni was held after the Home Concert, at the Colonial Ball Room, in East Liberty. Over four hundred students were present, and the success of the function practically insured its becoming an annual event. This year a standard musical club insignia was adopted, to be used for all time, and to be presented to the deserving members for their work. It was awarded to the preceding year’s club in the shape of a pin, and each year it is to assume some different form; e. g., watch fob, cuff links, match safe, cigarette case, scarf pin, etc. Only two concerts were given at any distance from home; one at Zelienople, Pa., where the clubs scored a big hit, and received an invitation to return again each year; and the other at Natrona, Pa., where the Quartette won enthusiastic applause. Both concerts were given before “standing room only” houses. During the year the following concerts were given: Pittsburg Country Club ....................Dec. 3, 1910.

With a charter membership of thirty-two, active preparations were started for a play to be put on during the next school year. After vicissitudes and trials of many sorts, “All in a Dormitory,” a musical comedy of school life was produced on June 16th, 1908. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Walter B. Edmundson who successfully coached this production, which started the Friars on the high road to permanent success. The years which have followed have but added other laurels to the Club. “His Highness the Chef,” produced June 29, 1909 was very favorably received and compared favorably with the productions of older and more experienced clubs. “Miss Mistaken,” at the Alvin Theater, May 28th, 1910, was a worthy successor to the previous offerings and from the time the curtain went up at the beginning of the first act, till the chorus girl (?) kicked her last kick, the approval with which it was received, showed that no detail was lacking to make it a success. This year the policy of the club has changed and it has been decided to produce a burlesque instead of the customary musical comedy. The play will be a satire on political Pittsburgh and as the book is being written by prominent dramatic critics of the city, a fine production may be looked for. The organization of the club consists of an undergraduate club, and a graduate club. The undergraduate club is composed of men registered in the schools who have had some part in the production or have held executive office, 'flic graduate club is composed of members of the undergraduate club to be elected when they leave school. The Board of Governors is the controlling body and is composed of seven men elected from both clubs. The first years of the club have been the “tradition years” and the club expects to make history from t his foundation and always striving to make each year better than the preceeding one. 229 BEHIND THE SCENES 230 BOARD OK CONTROL I’hoto by O.

Dr. Savage and the executive committee have handled things in an excellent manner and the affairs of the association have not been in such good shape since its formation. The held house and gymnasium, which was opened on Oct. 22, filled a long felt want on the part of the student body as well as the teams. Gymnasium classes, which are in charge of Mr. McCullough, have been very popluar with faculty and students and their good effect is easily seen and felt. With only three varsity men from last year as a nucleus for the 1910 eleven, prospects indeed looked black when Coaches Dowling and McCullough and Captain Hatcher started work in the Fall. Some forty or fifty candidates answered the call in September but there was a fearful lack of weighty material, and the team as finally selected averaged only one hundred and forty-three pounds. The schedule was heavy, consisting of eight games, of which we won one, tied one, and lost six. The spirit shown by the team and the support given it by the students has never been equaled in the history of our athletics and will always remain a worthy mark to live up to. On Oct. 29 we journeyed to Washington three hundred strong and witnessed a game which will not soon be forgotten. How well our team battled and how near we were to the coveted victory can only be appreciated by those who were present. Nov. 19 with a big “perade” we marched to Forbes Field and made the old park ring. The team fought nobly but Pitt’s superior weight and experience told and once more our colors were lowered to our great rivals. This year we lose four men by graduation, among them Captain Hatcher whose place it will be hard to fill. We have, however, some very good material left and if they all return Captain-elect Taylor will have a good start toward the 1911 team. 235 The season was very successfully managed by Donald Scott, and we feel sure that Jimmy Lamoree will also fill the position in a very competent manner. Handicapped by the fact that last season we had no baseball team, Captain Coldren nevertheless developed a very good team from green material. Manager Keally had a good schedule and although we lost the majority of the games it was only after fighting till the last man was out. Prospects look very bright for this season as we only lost two men by graduation and on the first call for outdoor practice this spring about fifty men reported to Captain Moorhead. We were very sorry to lose first Ilcekcr and then Hixenbaugh as managers this season but Powell, though inexperienced, has taken hold in the right spirit and should make good. By action of the board of control basketball was again resumed and although Manager Blanchard was elected rather late, he succeeded in getting up a very good schedule. Two trips were taken, one short one to Lewisburg and one long one, during inspection week, through Ohio. Mr. Lightner consented to act as coach and succeeded in developing a pretty fast team. Jimmy Williams acted as captain and played a star game throughout the season. The season closed with the championship of the city undecided, Pitt having won the first game and Tech the second. The third game was called off because the managers could not agree on a neutral floor. From the showing made this year, Tech, since it now has a floor of its own, should be in the front rank of basketball in seasons to come. 23G Last season our first Interschools track and field meet was held. Science captured first place with 64 points, winning the first leg on the Hammerschlag trophy; Design was second with 49 points, and Industries last with 13 points. From the men in this meet was chosen the team which went to Morgantown and defeated West Virginia 78 to 30. C. M. Crawford was the individual point winner with 14. The last meet of the season was Pitt’s Intercollegiate in which we won fifth place. I11 the fall an Interschools cross country race was held. Design won and Captain Wait captured individual honors. Our team won the junior trophy in the P. A. A. cross country run placing as follows: Wait . . . McCorkle Beeken .. SKXIOR 3 4 6 JUNIOR 1 2 4 On March 10, 1911, we entered two relay teams in the Y. M. C. A. meet at Duquesne Gardens. One in the Western Pennsylvania College Championship and the other in an open college relay. In the first race we finished a close second to Indiana Normal, Pitt and W. J., finishing third and fourth. I11 the other we won from Indiana Normal there being only the two teams entered. On May 6 Tech will hold its first Interscholastic and Prep school meet in conjunction with its second annual Interschool meet. Prospects are indeed bright for a successful season and Manager McCorkle has arranged for some very good meets. 'fhe Duquesne Garden ice rink did not open last season so Tech was left without a place in which to practice, or to schedule hockey games. This was a heavy blow as we had some fine material in school and would have had a first class team. Two Interschool tournaments were held last year, one in the spring and one in the fall. Both of these were won by Woods Industries, Flood and Duff being runners up respectively. 237 From the spring tournament were picked the men to represent I ech in the intercollegiate Tennis Tournament. The men selected were Duff, Captain; Flood, Woods, and Erickson. Manker was elected manager. The team captured third place in the tournament and took second place in both doubles and singles. By recent action of the board of control tennis was reported favorable for recognition as a minor varsity sport, and we hope that before the “Thistle” next appears tins will have been granted and the men on the team rewarded with some insignia. 238 FOOTBALL TEAM 1910.

Grinds Deerektor Turns Pale Once upon a time in the beautiful Park of Schenley, there was located a conglomeration of buildings known to the people of that time by the name of Carnegie Technical Schools. There dwelt within these schools a large, boisterous, and sometimes assuming man whose business it was to look after the floors, doors and windows of the schools. Abuot this time a band of innocent looking people entered the Institution, and took it into their hands to destroy this great “Utilizer of Food.” It was one of those bright days in late September when the “green bunch” stormed the residence of the “Breakage Fee” to procure him. After much knocking the walls fell, and the poor “giant,” ashen pale, and quivering, came out of his place of hiding, begging for mercy. Xo mercy was to he given that day for they roped him and led him away to the “wet stuff.” (Not an intoxicating beverage.) The aggregation had not reached the “wet stuff” yet, when there came a timely interference, and, after a short struggle the “King of the mop” was released. It is unnecessary to say that he is now addicted to the Peruna Habit. 255 D. S. Curtin in English. Professor—Curtin, what kind of a noun is kiss?

It happened while the new school auto-truck was being inspected by Bill, Joe, A1 and other individuals of daffydil and solid ivory fame belonging to the student body of the school. Somehow or other the machine started off. accidentally, while Bill was inspecting the steering and operating gear, and in spite of the fact that the remainder of the party jumped into the machine with the object of stopping it by overloading with their combined weight, the machine persisted on its onward course. It was impossible for the caretaker of the machine to undertake the task of overtaking it, as he was some distance away engaged in conversation with Al. who was telling him what the socialist party was going to do for the workingman. Fortunately, however. Joe had chaffeured for Desperate Desmond in a few of his thrilling ventures and was able to prevent the machine from running into the “prerogatives” in front of the M. M. C. S. and to make the machine pursue a course more peculiar to the equation of a straight line. From another standpoint it was fortunate that Joe was in the party, 257 Jvn.iot- MacWarxtcals a f ide ia VVvQ •� C.t AfcAqB FEB. as it occurred spontaneously to the students to take advantage of this unlooked for opportunity of prosecuting investigation into the thermal efficiency of the machine from a practical standpoint. That a desire to pursue the higher education by a little individual research work should be engendered under these exciting conditions, is remarkable and is worthy of the highest eulogy. To make the thermal efficiency tests as exhaustive as possible it was decided to take various devious routes and to take readings every minute, one of the party blowing a cornet (where it came from no one knows) at the end of each minute as a signal to take readings all at the same time. As it was impossible to do any computing while the truck was in motion, a number of stops were made at places where computations could be made, the progress of the test discussed and refreshments be procured, the idea being to absorb as much knowledge as possible while the test was in progress. While running along the streets so absorbed was the party in the test that, while passing the police stations on the way, they gave little heed to urgent invitations to stop at these justly famed havens of rest. In a few instances the truck and its occupants were taken for Dun-levy’s Pork Sausage wagon, which was also going the rounds advertising the fact that Dunlevy made his sausages exclusively of little pigs. After the trip was over and the data had been examined, the party came gravely to the conclusion after much weighty consideration that P. V. actually equaled M. R.

He has a past that we can trace— Once, on a ball-team, played third base. Now that we’ve told you of his fame, You've guessed that hepbukx is his name. Because many the glances at Mars While with Brashear a noted Trustee, Because skating he saw many beautiful stars, He tried studying astronomy. After twelve years he left the Observe . To become an instructor at Tech, After one year of teaching he lost all his nerve. And became quite a physical wreck. We have tried very hard, it is true. To tell all that we know of his fame. But the rest of his fine points we will leave them to you. You have guessed it, hartman is his name. 260 DAFFY-DILS. If the machine shop was warm would Hep-burn?

On February 23, 1911, the Draftsman’s Club was called to order by President Conelly (Hook Worm). The minutes of the previous meeting were read by P. O. Morning-star (Dean). Then Miller (Jingling Jake) gently asked for club dues. A great deal of contention and discord has been caused throughout the whole school year by this request. Mr. Kennedy was called upon for his discussion of the subject. “Iron and Steel,” which had been scheduled to take place several weeks before. The young noble bravely walked to the stand of execution, prepared to meet his fate, amid a thunderous applause. This ended, however, in a groan when (Pat) asked them to take notes on the valuable information, which he was about to give them. As the artistic elocutionist continued he was interrupted by Mr. Gousha (Red) who called for “Time Out.’’ And well he might, for he saw his beloved affinity beckoning him from without. This was a signal for all and despite the rebukes of Mr. Minnemeyer (Sleepy) the door was unlocked, and everyone disappeared. The lecture remains unfinished. 267 By Jam. “Ashes to ashes Dust to dust, If physics don’t kill you Geometry must.” i + + Heard in the Gym.

There are four mighty bands; The architect, the greatest is he, With large and dirty hands; And loafing ’round the drawing board All day long he stands. 11 is hair is long and full of paste, His face is black, not tan; His brow is wet, but not with sweat, He crooks whate’er he can, He looks the world not in the face For he owes most every man. Sneak in. sneak out, from morn till night, You see him come and go; His face is dark with dreary thots Of studies that are low; For which he is conditioned from His aim, the White Friar show. And the “Maggies” coming home from school Pass by the open door; They hate to see his winking eyes, And hear his loud voice roar, And strongly on the window raps, And waits for ladies more. 271 He goes on Sunday to the school. And works with other boys; For Charette is a strenuous week, With its sorrows and its joys; For all day long they sing and scream. And make a fearful noise. Smoking. Loafing, Sleeping, Onward thru school he goes; Each morn sees some plan begun, Hut the Dean sees not its close; Something attempted, nothing done, On the table in many rows. Thanks, thanks to you. my noble profs. For attention in classes sought! For in our work thru out our life Your lal ors will be forgot; For the architect was never cut out For deep study and thot. J. B. Hays, ’12 272 There was an instructor quite fayer W ho shined as a baseball player It’s none of my biz’ ► But the joke of it is He had quite a crop of red haver. 273 THE LABORATORY WEDDING. One of the most interesting social events of the season, in Carnegie Tech circles, took place in the Chemical Laboratory, Wednesday, at high noon. Shortly before the hour, a number of friends assembled to witness the union of Mr. Ben Zine, one of the most distinguished of the hydro carbons, and Miss Chlorine, one of the very attractive and accomplished Halogen Sisters. Just as the buzzer on the wall tolled the hour, there pealed forth the strains of the Wedding March, effectively rendered on the blow pipe by Miss Moly Cule. Presently the bridal party entered, led by Messrs. Cal Cium, Cy Anogen, and the bride’s maids, Ana Lyne, and Ethyl Alcohol. The bride charmingly arrayed in a test tube and carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers of sulphur, redolent with the delicate aroma of hydrogei sulphide and tied with a magnesium ribbon, entered on the arm of her father, at the same time the groom with his best man, Nicholas Hydroxide, came down the aisle and met the bride at the altar under the hood, where, in the soft light of the Bunsen burner, the short but impressive ritual was said by the pastor of the bride, Bro. Mine. D. J. Curtin. + + Theory in Geometry. Mr. Burns—A polygon may have any number of sides even to infinity. Mr. Francy—Then we could have one with so many sides it would be a circle. . + + + Prof. Morris says, “Common sense doesn’t go in Geometry,” although Houston thinks so. + + + sSt, ' ' Heard in Geometry.

Don’t try to l c cheer-leader for upper-classmen. Don’t leave the Schools forgetting to graduate. Beware of Sophomores and look wise. If at first you don’t succeed, Petition. If necessary take a five year course; thus many embarrassing explanations may he avoided. Get busy while you got a chance and don’t talk about working, right up to eleven o’clock. Do each Day’s work as it comes, even if you have to sit up all night to do it. It is harder to do it later. Get a pull with the faculty, wear a clean collar and attend all class meetings, if they don’t conflict with meals. I f you want to stay at Carnegie Tech and arc stupid—go to some other college; if you are mediocre—be a grind; if you are bright—thank God, but look out. Mind your own business and be democratic; don't think you are better than anybody else. “The bluest blood is putrid blood, peoples blood is Red.” : 275 Archy-Dills ‘'Done by one of the boys” “All foreigners, but!” If the faculty had a race would McGood-win? If the breakage fee can carry nine cases of drawing, (Weidlein Auto). How much can the Memorial Hall? If a bunch of Architects got tanked would the Schenley Hotel?

Activity is work over time. 276 I Sayings of Solomon, the Sophomore. Jevon says, “Proverbs often seem very wise because they are ambiguous.” Wisdom has been sacrificed in the following for the sake of clearness. A little nonsense now and then is relished by even a Senior. Riches have wings, and two-bit pieces fly also. Patience on a monument means Bigelow in the park. Train up a Plebe in the way lie should go, and when he is a Sophomore he will not depart from it. A little learning is a dangerous thing at exam. time. A straw shows which way the wind blows. So does a short skirt. A lie is an abomination to the Dean, a very present help in time of probation. A fool can ask more questions in a minute than a wise man can answer in an hour. So with some professors whose names are withheld by request. A “P on your card is worth two “C’s in your imagination. “Speech is silver, silence is gold was spoken by some fool to encourage the ignorant. To err is Plebeian, to forgive is Facultian. Reading makes a full man, and so does booze. Strike while the iron is hot, but watch whom you strike. Physician heal thyself with the blue light. 'l'lie cup that cheers but does not inebriate was never meant for an A. D. student. History repeats itself, but history is seldom a bum joke. Laugh and the world laughs with you, if you are a Professor. The bright lexicon of youth contains many words not found in Webster’s. Know thyself, for everyone else has you sized up. Sophs knock once at the Dean’s door. 'l'lie better the day, the better the deed. Go fussing Sunday night. The flv believes there is room at the top of a bald head. In spite of the sayings, “What’s in a name?” and “Puns are odious,” some fools insist on getting puns out of names. The world owes us a living, but it’s as hard to collect as a furniture installment. Where ignorance is bliss, does not mean Dr. James’ class. A stolen kiss may be sweetest, but it's an impossibility, so take what you can get. Labor overcomes all things, even the hookworm. 277 Index 4 4 4 Page Administration, Officers of .......................................... 9 Athletics .......................................................... 231 Baseball, Varsity ...............................................242 Basketball, Varsity ............................................ 248 Basketball, Class Teams ........................................ 252 Board of Control ............................................... 232 Cross Country Team ............................................. 246 Football, Varsity .............................................. 241 Meet ........................................................... 245 Tennis ..........................................................250 Track .......................................................... 244 Wearers of the “C” ............................................. 234 Board of Trustees .................................................... 8 Carnegie, Mrs. Louise Whitfield ...................................... 6 Clubs— Army, The ...................................................... 212 Carnegie Mechanical Society .................................... 200 Civil Engineering Society .......................................202 Crucible Club....................................................206 Draftsman Club, Day ............................................ 216 Draftsman Club, Night........................................... 218 Mho Club, The................................................... 208 Mummy Club, The................................................. 214 Mutts, The ..................................................... 205 Woodlawn Club, The ............................................. 198 Contents ............................................................. 2 Dedication ........................................................... 4 Design, School of Applied ........................................... 91 Architect.
