THE EDITORS. 5 326576 To The Honorable JOSEPH BUFFINQ TON whose keen interest and personal endeavor have had vital influence in the development of our institution, this book is respectfully dedicated. 6 IIoxorahle Joseph Buffington 7 3lnsepi] Buffington |BT|UI)GE J()3eph Buffington was born at Kittanning, Pennsyl- vania, fifty-seven years ago. Here he received his early education; later he attended Trinity College at Hartford, Conn., where he graduated in 1875. For three years he continued the study of law at his home. He was admitted to the bar in 1878. In 1885 he married Mary Alice Simon ton of Enimitsburg, Maryland. He practiced law until 1898 when he was appointed United States District Judge of the Western District of Pennsylvania by President Harrison. In lflOfi In was appointed United States Circuit Judge of the Third Circuit comprising Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, by President Roosevelt. Judge Buffington has been a member of the Board of Trustees ever since the Carnegie Technical Schools came into existence, and in this connection takes a deep personal interest in the affairs of our Alma Mater. As a man Judge Buffington typifies that which is most noble and admirable. In manner quiet, yet tactful; gentle, yet precise in speech; dignified, yet with a sense of humor; these faculties have endeared him to all of his friends and acquaintances. By nature studious and observant, through his own college experience a friend of higher education he is now, as over, a staunch believer in the ability of American Youth to “make genul,” the proof of which his own life affords an illustrious example. 8 HE Thistle Board takes this fogpgj opportunity to gratefully acknowledge the hearty co-operation of the Students, Faculty and Administration Officers of the four schools in the preparation of The 1912 Thistle. “The Thistle’’ especially appreciates the interest and generous support given by “The Tartan.’ 9 CARNEGIE INSTITUTE.

The most important feature will be the utilization of Camp Louise Carnegie for instructional purposes. With the growth of the student body the year brings us these reassuring messages of development. We are in need of and are hoping for a stirring martial song. The application for a charter for the institution with tin power to grant degrees is about to be acted on by the Hoard of Trustees and we have high hopes that it will not be long before we can offer these badges of recognition to our graduates. This, I know, will be good news for both students ami faculty. A word, deep from tin heart, to all those who are striving for the cause of the Alma Mater. Wherever, whenever you have tin chance to carry the Carnegie message, let tin world know that our ideal in education is sound scholarship, capacity, character, and thoroughness as a basis for service and leadership.

Do you remember how, as Plebes, they suffered persecution at tli(‘ hands of the Juniors, and how, in spite of the fact that in the eyes of the upper classes they were little “nobodies, most of them went courageously on to the end of the year, always working conscientiously and yet making the best of the few privileges that were given them? And then, do you remember how that same class returned the next year as Juniors and how they were still undeservingly looked down upon by the Seniors, but deservingly looked up to by the Plebes? The throe most important events of that year were the making of Mrs. Carnegie's tea cloth, in which the Juniors experienced the real joy of giving; the Junior Prom, at which they shone in all their splendor; and the decision as to what course to take tin next year, which was really the crisis of their school lives. Surely you have not forgotten that forty-one of these Juniors returned to tin Margaret Morrison Carnegie School to take up their careers as noble Seniors. Do you ask what became of the others? Well, of course you cannot know, for it. is a very great secret—but most of them are going to get married. But the Seniors really do take life seriously, as is shown by the fact that they have become models of perfection for the other classes. Dressmakers, Secretariate, and Household Economics girls, all are renowned for the illustrious record they have made tliis year—they have never been absent or tardy, and they have never cut. In fact, they work so hard that they have had to give up basket ball altogether. The (Hee and Dramatic Clubs also have suffered somewhat from the loss of Senior members, but there are some Seniors who are faithful still, for what would tin Glee Club concert or “As You Like It, be without the Seniors? And, of course, all the Seniors manage to find time enough to be faithful Guild workers. Even the social affairs have been few. To be sure, there was the Plebe Reception at which the Seniors were very important personages, and then the Senior Dance, where the Seniors shone alone, but the one great social event of the year is yet to come—the Senior Ball. And now, do you know that this most illustrious class of which we have been speaking, is none other than the Class of 11)12, whose deeds will be recorded in the annate of history and whose fame will be spread abroad as the most perfect, most studious, and most inspiring class that has ever attended or ever will attend the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women? 23 D () you remember that bright September day three years ago when about eighty-five little lasses—some with their mamas, some with their papas, and some stepping bravely along by SENIORS Margaret Morrison Carnegie School Mary Bartleson, “Bartie,” Beloit, Kansas Dressmaking Beloit High.

Let us go back a few years and see these young women entering the portals of the School. We inquire “What brings them here?” and in every case I think we find that it is a spirit of dissatisfaction with themselves and a desire to perfect their educations in different branches of learning. During this season of industry, there have been interesting social events that should be chronicled, the most prominent of these being tin visit of Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie to the Schools. The different student bodies, including the Alumni Associations, assembled in Carnegie Music Hall and were addressed by both Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie, as well as by the Director and members of the Board of Trustees. It was at this meeting that Mr. Carnegie announced his gift of the Louise Carnegie Camp to the Carnegie Technical Schools, and, best of all, that the State had decreed that degrees are to be given at Carnegie. Both of these messages were greeted with cheers by the students, whose chorus singing was also a feature of the occasion. Our informal class dance, given just before the holidays, must go on record as one of the most successful of the year. It served to 'break the ice among those members of the class who had not had opportunity to become well acquainteed and paved the way for our Senior Ball, to be given at the end of the year. Cor all of our success during this the last year of our attendance at tin Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, full credit must be given to our Class President, Stella P. Young, whose keen interest and beautiful tact have been the power which has kept the wheels running smoothly and in harmony, and we wish her all the joy in the world when the solitaire on her left hand is superseded by a plain gold band and she becomes the bride of a graduate of one of the other Carnegie Technical Schools. ST X this year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twelve, a band of ambitious young women graduate from the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. They are destined to make their marks 37 Thus is ended our history. A. W., 1912. NIGHT SENIORS Margaret Morrison Carnegie School Jane M. Adrian—Cooking. A plump and pleasing person!

Say, girls, won't some of you come in and help me write a class history? Yes, I've started with (’ll,. What else could I start with? When one is a Junior, everything starts with ('!!„ but then 1 need a few substitution products to help me up to the next step. Now, please don’t everybody talk at once. I'll write each tiling down as you tell me. First, and most important, was the hazing of the plebes. Oh, those green ribbons! and those fearfully and wonderfully-made coiffures. Second, was the day of the reception given to the plebes by the faculty and Seniors, at which we almost weren't present. Third, was the election of our officers. We're not a bit conceited, and yet I think we can congratulate ourselves on our fine selection. Each officer has most ably tilled her position. Oh, by the way, did you hear the joke about Louise Harrison? The other day a plebe swallowed a nickel, and she simply had to have it to got her gym shoes out of the “Lost and Found.' Well, we poumled and hammered that poor child until she was numb, but that nickel was a goner. Finally, we heard some one say: “Go to Louise Harrison. She's the best ever at getting money out of people. And that just goes to show what a capable treasurer we have . Hut then, that is neither here nor there. We must got down to business. Fourth, was the organization of our basket ball team. We even got some of the faculty interested. Last, but not least, comes the From. Oh, dear, that's a story in itself. We have neither time nor spare for it here. Well, bless me, you aren't much help, after all. Hut, then, I have all the bare facts, now, so you can all run along, and when I have it all shiny and sparkling with polish a I'imagination, I'll read it to you, and see if you can recognize it. TAlvTlXG from CII4—Oh, dear, what shall I say next? I never could get anv farther than that. What in the world are all t hose girls out there laughing about? Levity has no place 52 NIGHT CLASS 1913 Jiyht Class of 1913 MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE SCHOOL I In First Year Night ('lass. Our class has been so extremely industrious that it has had no time whatever to devote to class meetings. However, we are never so busy that we haven't time to be sociable. Anyone who doubts this is invited to visit us on any school night. Although we ourselves have not had any social events, the members of our cooking class were the guests at an informal reception given by the Second Year rooking ('lass at the first of the year. Our classmates say they certainly had an enjoyable time, and we appreciate very much the kindness of these amiable Seniors in trying to make us feel at home from the very beginning. You may like to hear something about tin individuals who belong to this unique (’lass. Ye have several extraordinarily brilliant members, but it is understood that the class as a whole is one of unusual intelligence. Miss Shirk is one of our most accomplished cooks and is the champion gravy maker of the School. Owing to Miss Scott's official connection with tin School, it would perhaps be unwise to make any pointed remarks, but we will venture to state that sin is a graduate of the M. M.

The instructor of the Hookkeeping ('lass says he has one of the finest groups of students ever collected. Miss Vogel, although Secretary to one of Pittsburgh's best-known politicians, shows no signs of developing into a suffragette, and she and Miss Smith are running a neck-and-neck race for bookkeeping honors. Unlike the class just mentioned, the Milliners have voted for Suffrage. Just where the questions of “bunnits” and woman's rights have any connection we are unable to fathom, however such is the case here. Miss McGonigle, a graduate of last year's cooking ( lass, has taken to designing chapeaux for the elite of the land.

And to you who may Ik plebes it will try to show how work and play can Ik combi nod, and how tin highest and noblest is the thing to strive for. Our plebe year is a road—one end closed by an iron gate—the other shrouded with mystery, tilled with unknown possibilities, and lost in tin future. Before this iron gate, marked “Registration Day,” we on the tenth of September timidly put forth our hand and knocked. The gate then opened a little, and a voice said, “Return September nineteenth. Promptly at nine school opens.' In the days that followed the iron gate cast a shadow across our path. It was only removed when favorable reports of our examinations were received, and the gate swung wide open to let us through. The lirst. real important landmark we met with was entitled “Hazing.” Over this 1 will “cast a haze,” for it is a painful remembrance. Suffice it to say, that though the tyranny of tlx Juniors forced us to walk the streets with our hair hanging, and decorated with green bows, we did it with such becoming grace and dignity that everybody turned to look at us. The next important landmark was the Plebe Reception, which we held soon after electing .Miss Nina McKean temporary chairman, and Miss Lydia Bates secretary, and lavender and gold for class colors. The reception was held in the parlors of the school, where we met the faculty and members of the upper classes. On December ninth a Guild Bazaar was held in I Ik gymnasium. Several of the plebes were asked to aid, which they did with their usual charm (ahem!) The proceeds of this very successful bazaar went to the Guild Fund. Now, for several weeks, a change, slow but sure, crept over us. Girls that once danced the noon-liour away, now began to haunt the study hall. Worry and care came to take the place of the joy and happiness we once felt. We studied at random, knowing that no TOP! LOOK! LISTEN! To you who once were plebes it may recall the trials and tribulations, the joys and merry times of a year gone by. To you who are plebes it may make the present 58 mat tor what part wo wont carefully over, that part would never be asked. For the fatal week was approaching—it drew near—it came —it passed—it became a tiling of memory. Hut what a train of consequences it carried in its wake. The second semester dawned, and —gom was the old schedule—gone familiar faces from our divisions —gone our first, half year. The last landmark that we have passed is the introduction of the plebes to basket ball. Some day we hope to beat the Juniors at this game, and then—great will be the rejoicing thereof. And that is as far as we have traveled along the road that runs from “Registration Day to the mysterious land of the future. In looking back we try not to see the little unpleasant events that inevitably appear, but only the happy, cheerful and merry side. View the world happily, and it will be happy. School is but “Life” on a smaller scale. We are only plebes once—think of it—only once! 59 5 1 rV r s v g s ? Kk na P 1 ® I kl «7 r: ' «r I % J lnut Slater (Time, A u 1 1 Lang Syne). Words bv Mrs. A.

Oh, why doth time so quickly tty?” HE true realization of the meaning of those words come to us as our Senior year is nearing its close. The long four years of college seemed an eternity to us, as we started our freshmen year, but now they seem but a very short while—merely a link in a chain of happenings. As memories of those years flit by, we see many things of which we may justly be proud. We have never been found wanting in spirit. The class of 1012 has always furnished its full quota in athletics—both on the teams and on the managing staffs. It was the class of 1912 which came to the aid of the Athletic Association with the money collected for its Sophomore banquet. We have instituted the honor system in the classes and thus established a higher standard of honesty for those still to come. We have lived four years of such true fellowship that we shall leave our Alma Mater with feelings of deepest loyalty to her. In later years, no matter in what part of the world we may be, no matter how the world judges our work, we shall still have pleasant memories of our happy and profitable college life.

Wentzel W. J. Merten Secretary Alexander J. Airston Historian V. S. Raui 82 53lgl]t cntiu (Class Jjtstm-u T 1110 dawn of a tomorrow”—such is the phrase which most adequately expresses our thoughts at this moment, and the few stiekfast stalwarts who have struggled manfully onward from the beginning are obtaining the first glimpses of sunshine and ex- pending their final efforts on the home stretch. Many years ago—it must surely be more than five—the 1012 class started with a membership of something like one hundred and forty, but as year succeeded year, one face after another failed to appear with the reopening of the first semester, and now we are only the lucky eleven. Even the last two years have considerably reduced our numbers, death claiming Erich Newman, a former president, who passed away after a short illness, during the latter part of 1011; and the call of the West and the Automobile overcoming that of Carnegie, and the Westinghouse, to Karl II. Helm, also a past president, now on the Pacific Coast. W. Bailey McCreery found the night course too great a strain, and so the Armor plate man of the Carnegie Steel Co., another one time president, was forced reluctantly to drop from the ranks. And shall we speak further of Herbert Fleck—solid, regular and keen; or John W. Swinbank, skilled in the manly art. “All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.” And of the handful left—“All that was left of them, left one hundred” (and forty). It is of them that we write. As before mentioned, we are eleven, and thus are we composed:— The Electricals are the biggest bunch, mustering four at full strength; the Metallurgists and the Civils tie for second place with three each; and the Mechanicals is ONE. This isolated student, “alone and palely loitering” on the Mechanical Course, glories in the name of Emerson J. French; takes exams with his professor over a glass of wine (?) and knows something about the Senior Ball. Metallurgicallv speaking would be in the language of ‘I)as Vat-erland for our worthy senior member, Win. J. Merten—of this ilk— hails direct from Europe beyond the North Sea; and his two associates in charging tin melting pot are by name, “Dutch,” Wm. 8. Roup, and Carl W. Wentzel. The first of the three is great in argument and tales of the Fatherland; the second was captured during the third year of the course, elevated to president in the fourth, and is known to his 83 classmates as the “Drummer”; the third, expert in the manufacture and discharge of gunpowder, and in being right there on “Cigar time” at the blowing of the Edgar Thomson furnaces, is vice president of the class. Of the Civil (ized) ones there is first our member athletic, John F. Laboon, big and burly, who represents our eleven in the Athletic Association, then come Wallace R Hull and Frank II. Finch, our quiet observers, silently successful—mechanics sharks. The electrical quartette only escaped exceeding the mechanicals by a meagre 100 per cent, by acquisition of Frank M. Keck (Tinnie) and Alex. J. Airston (the bally bloomin’ one) who butted in during the fourth year, thus raising their percentage to 400. The president of the class, John C. (I)?) Suoder, is the third and most important. He has recently acquired the regret tilde habit of swearing in English— ‘dash it all you know’—but in spite of this is the right man in the right place. The fourth is Mack B. Carpenter—Electrical Carpenter —long and lean; and both the latter have wended their weary ways through the whole five years of the course. Such is the throng who by dint of toil into the night hours and by the burning of the candle at both ends, have almost run their course and achieved the long anticipated successes. In looking back over the years that have passed, we call to mind many events which stand out as milestones along the way. A freshman smoker for the benefit of the Athletic Association, the banquets at the close of each of the first three years, a smoker during the third year again to the assistance of the Association Athletic, and the conducting of the first meeting of the class of 1913. Thoughts of men of talent in music, song and story rise as we recall these events, and we pause as we think of the entrance through barred doors with the ultimate effect of putting to rout a greater band of freshies in solemn conclave assembled for their first meeting. But, alas, of late our varsity spirit has not brought us into the limelight as we would have wished, although it has by no means been lacking. The small class and diversified interests of the members have prevented our getting together and moving in a body, small though it might be, to make effective show. Now with the end fast approaching, one looks back on fond memories and friendships, proud of being a student of the schools, determined that success shall lead to further success, that each may have part in forming tradition and establishing more firmly the name of our Alma Mater in the annals of the great colleges of the world— in the name of the founder of the pioneer institution of its type, the name of that great and ‘awful’ fine wee Scotchman—“Carnegie”. 84 Ai.kx.

Soon after the classes were assembled in September, 1909, a body known as Sophomores, made known, by means of posters of emerald hue, their desire to do battle with this new class. A hasty organization was effected, leaders took charge in various divisions, and so valiant was the spirit of the men of ’13 that they vanquished their challengers in a bloody battle lasting from morning hours until evening shadows were falling. After this auspicious entry into the life and affairs of the Alma Mater, events moved rapidly until the well remembered night of December tenth, when, baffling all Sophomoric attempts at prevention, a fitting banquet was held at the Hotel Henry, where wit and wisdom, from the lips of those further along the path, lent new enthusiasm to the journey toward ideals. The year ended, as all years do, and by different methods, best known to themselves, a large number of the original body succeeded in climbing to a higher plane of knowledge. Here another battle awaited, but the new peril found only willingness to defend the laurels so well fought for and so honorably won. Badly outnumbered in this second battle, the 1913 rallying power carried another victory to the trophy rooms of memory. As in the preceding year, a banquet was the social crown of the class. Setting aside all fears and superstitions, Friday, the thirteenth? found nearly all assembled in the halls of the Hotel Schenley, where they enjoyed a banquet lit for kings and 1913. The course of events brings us to the present class. Those who have won their way so far are still holding the same old spirit, and those who attended the “Promv on February sixteenth, will heartily agree that it was truly magnificent in plan and execution. By many manifestations of their loyalty to school and class, they, as a class, have shown themselves worthy of the place carved out. The path has been blazed, and those following will do well to assume the motto of support and aggressiveness so exemplified in 1913. B far the most important event of the year 1909 was the advent at Carnegie of a new class, known as the class of 1913. From their very beginning the destiny of this class was 90 NIGHT CLASS 1913.

Although filled with enthusiasm for the work and for the great institution of which they are members, yet the contemplation of the amount of plugging that fills the interval between the preparatory work and the graduate engineer, caused the most courageous to waver at times. But nearly all cleared the Prep year with credit and, with new recruits, the study of Science was continued during the night Plebe period. Throughout the first and second years, various enjoyable social alTairs were arranged by a most energetic committee, and things moved along smoothly until that subject, so fatal to the embryo engineers, was encountered. When the smoke and heat had cleared away, only six of the tine determined body of students were left to continue the third year’s work. With characteristic energy the class, now reinforced by new members, pursued tin study of engineering. But now, sobered by the consciousness of being the very few who had successfully weathered the rigid course laid down by the school fathers, and of the immensity of the subject of Engineering science, which now began to appear in a new light, the class began to give more attentionto school work and less to social affairs, with the rt suit that all finished the work of the third year very satisfactorily. With the fourth year fast receding, tin' members of the class of 1013 may well agree that their conscientious efforts have been repaid. And now, with the growing weight of responsibility that rests on upper classmen, all rise to meet the duties of class and school, sincere in the belief that all should give back in as large measure as possible that which they receive as students and co-workers in this great institution. w ITH the opening of the school year of 1007, a company of eighty-seven ambitious men began to lay tin foundations for engineering careers, such as would make the world sit up and 93 First Semester Second Semester William M ii.ler.............President...........William Miller Thos.

At this meeting the officers were elected. “Bill” Miller has served his class with great loyalty, and has placed it in fine condition for the remainder of the year’s work. At the above meeting preparations were completed for the annual Plebe reception, and directly after the meeting an orderly, dignified-appearing “mob”, each member of which was the possessor of a carefully concealed weapon of offense—a barrel stave—wended its way to the entrance of the Industry Building, where it lay in wait for the first delegation of verdant freshies. At last they came, each with his momentous air, and with his Prep insignia prominently displayed. This was the signal for the Sophs to get busy, and get busy they did. Colored hosiery and neckwear disappeared as if by magic; Prep pins were rudely snatched from their resting places and thrust deep into freshies pockets, there to remain. This was the beginning. Swimming races, eloquent orations, the rendition of impressive and pathetic vocal selections, and other diversions followed in due time, until each of the “verdant ones” had received his first insight into Carnegie life. Yea, verily, that was a busy day for the Sophs—and for the freshies too. The remainder of the first week passed quickly, until Friday, the day of the annual class contest. Early in the afternoon the student body adjourned to the athletic field, there to witness the struggle for supremacy between brain and brawn. The plebes appeared, each with a beauty mark of lamp-black on his “phiz”. The beginning of the contest, was fast and furious, but the Plebes were soon overpowered by their superiors, and the Sophs came from the field the victors, The annual feed of the Sophs for the Plebes then followed. Clustered round a huge fire, the fuel for which the plebes had provided, the members of the two classes devoured sandwiches and gulped down cider to their hearts’ content. The Soph banquet was the next, feature. This occurred January 5, 1912, at the Hotel Henry. The children—1915—had no hint of what was happening, and therefore tin serenity of the occasion was unmarred. The present year has been a very successful one for the class of 14, nothing having occurred to unbalance the unify and harmony with which the class, as a whole, has labored to uphold the true Carnegie spirit, both in and out of school. In all ways the class is striving as best it can to aid in making the name of our Alma Mater one to be reverenced by all, and to earn for the names of its members a place nearer the front of the catalogue.

Where were you yesterday afternoon? And many more, artfully designed to wreck the career of future engineers. After this ordeal we were allowed to enjoy all the privileges of regular students, especially those pleasant re-exams and conditions. For three long years we have studied hard and to good purpose; for what we saw then, dimly as through a veil, we now see face to face. We can walk through the mazes of a simultaneous equation without a single misstep; trigonometry has lost its power to unnerve; tin calculus we regard as a necessary nourishment; we are indeed becoming educated. But we do not always work. During the recent holidays, we laid down our books and notes for an evening and attended our annual class theatre party and supper. It was a grand success and after waiting for the light of day to guide our wavering footsteps homeward, we adjourned. And now, as we look forward to the short years remaining, we feel that a goodly part of our task is done, and that the night class of 1914 is very near the inner shrine of knowledge. 99 Say jSchnol pplieb Science CLASS OF 1915 H.

T. S. campus, there to be given a cordial reception by a number of Sophomores who took no pity on the Plebes who brought father along. At the first class meeting a Chairman was elected, and officers were appointed to take charge of the class rush. The vice chairman of the class was taken by the noble Sophs to a nearby house and kept in seclusion until the class rush was in progress, when he was then set free, beautifully decorated and ready for action. In the meantime the Sophomore president was being royally entertained in Allegheny, by a few energetic Plebes. This is the first time in the history of the school that the Plebes successfully captured the Sophomore president. Some class! The class was kept in a subdued state the next three months solving the mysteries of the impregnable mathematics, chemistry and Physics. Christmas vacation then brought a welcomed relief to the weary class, most of whom forgot their studies and indulged in the hobby which was most to their liking. Although we cannot look far enough into the future to tell exactly what the Class of ’15 will do to exalt the name of her Alma Mater, we feel sure that a number of her members on graduation will go forth into the world and accomplish deeds that will turn tin strong searchlight of the public on C. T. S. and make her loom up as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, college in the United States.

Nevertheless, it is a fact worth mentioning that the sole energy and strength of each one of the surviving members of our clan was directed upon the two-fold purpose of securing an education and making our class the greatest and best of any of the night classes heretofore graduated in the history of Carnegie Tech. It is this standard that we hope to maintain during tin remaining years of our course. The members of our class are not lacking in school support and enthusiasm, as the good old Carnegie spirit is there. This spirit was manifestly exemplified at our First Annual Banquet, which was held at the Hotel Ilenry last May, just after the close of our first school year. It is with fond recollection that we look back to that memorable Saturday evening of December 9, 1911, and recall to our minds the loyal Oarnegieites of the class who braved the elements to attend the first smoker of the year, which was held in the “Beanery”. We had plenty of good music and singing, speeches, recitations and an abundant supply of smokes and “eats.” Our motto for the evening was “Let joy be unconfined,” and it was unanimously voted by all that the affair was a delightful change from the weary grind of the class room. After the Christmas holidays, the next event of interest on the program was the mid-year examinations, but here we do not wish to dwell too long. Some of us are still wondering why we did not study harder the first Semester. And so as we go struggling on, endeavoring to overcome the obstacles that enter into the path in the fight for knowledge and position in life, we expect to re-enter Carnegie Tech next fall, thus approaching one step nearer to the coveted goal of our ambitions, and passing the Second Year of the 1915 Night Class into history. ii mm T was with grim determination and with the spirit to “do or die” that, on October 2, 1911, we began our second year at Carnegie. After things had become more settled and tin machinery 105 trsi ear JJtgfjt (Klass ©fficers George L. Ilug Albert C. Dalzell J. R. Scott Edwin A.

We, unassuming as we are at the present time, can hardly lay claim to any recognition as yet. But listen; it won’t be long until you do hear from us, for we who address you are the “First Year Night Class of Applied Science,” and we will graduate in 1916. It may be rather early in our career to cry for recognition in this manner, but as we must make our debut some time, we believe that the sooner it is done the better; so we take time by the forelock through the medium of the “Thistle” and push ourselves forward. The class of 1916 is composed mainly of new men, a few only having come through our Prep course. At the outset, as in almost all classes, we started with a goodly number, a new class full of “pep” and a seemingly unquenchable ardor. But Christmas has passed long since, and spring has come with her opening buds and gentle breezes bringing that deadly malady, spring fever, and our ranks have become thinner. During this time we have been delving deeply into knowledge and you who have been there before us know that Physics, chemistry, trig and geometry in goodly doses are quite sufficient in themselves to take the starch out of many a brave and stalwart student. At this opportune time, we as a class desire to express the high esteem in which we hold instructors. By this time we have discovered their many excellent qualities and virtues, and now we know of no better way of boosting them than by allowing the “Thistle” to carry to its readers this thought Seriously then, we, the youngest night class, Preps excluded, feel by this time that while we have a great battle before us and many indeed may not be able to keep up the struggle throughout the four hard years, still it. is our ambition to make a record and our opinion is that we individually and as a class will make good. 108 preparatory CJlass 2 rtght Science E.

OW, kind sirs, if you will give us your attention for a few moments, we would like to present to you a promising infant, the baby of the night classes, the Night Science Preparatory Class S. 19 17. Young and husky, filled with (he hope of youthful hearts, they have set themselves to a task, the completion of which means six long years of painstaking work that only the most courageous would undertake. The Prep students realize that they must prepare well for the great things to come, and the patience born of the determination to build well the foundation of a career, they toil nightly and with care. Of the large class that enrolled on the opening of the school year there still remains about one hundred and twenty-five members. Although a little gentle coaching on the part of Mr. McCorkle was necessary to effect the class organization, the meetings are now carried on with great spirit. It has been agreed to assist in raising a fund to furnish tin club room so it will present a more home like appearance. Plans are well under way to hold a class dance, a smoker and also a luncheon and theatre party; all of which will bind tin class more closely and raise its value as a vital working unit of the Carnegie Technical Schools. There are many good men in the Night Prep Class; men of character and ability, to whom hard work is no stranger. Carnegie Tech will surely glean many good students from its ranks, for all realize the truth that lies in tin poet’s lines: “A little learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep, or taste not tin Pierian spring. A few thoughts intoxicate the brain, But thinking deeply sobers it again.” ill JHail! (Earnegte Words by .1. R. Sprague, 08. Arranged by William McDorrington.

Life is one a blooming rharette after another in the Applied Design. Char-SlSm ette is a French word, and means a small cart which carries away tin drawings, hence, logically speaking, the Cliarette is the school gas wagon. If we broaden the meaning to that of a vehicle which carries away the remains of a “Cliarette” (as locally applied), it would probably mean a hearse. However, we have come to use Cliarette as the finishing of a drawing. This might apply to signing a check (you see you finish drawing a check by signing it—hence witticism). The author having exhibited his native humor we proceed. Since the publication of last year's “Thistle’ the patrons’ dinner was an important event and looked forward to, enjoyed, and remembered with pleasure. Summer holidays passed in the pursuit of pleasure, gain and knowledge. The new year found us in bright spirits of various sorts and the usual round of charettes began. We found two welcome additions to the faculty, Mr. Taylor and Mr. (Joehegan, instructors in Illustration and English and French, respectively. Mr. Hewlett performed the arduous duties of Dean, pending Mr. M(Goodwin’s return from Europe. Mr. Me(loodwin’s visit occupied five months and proved of inestimable benefit to the Schools who thus have the opportunity of hearing, at first hand, of the progress and achievements of European Art upon which we base our newer architecture. History of Art was added to the curriculum to the edification of all concerned. On October the (5th the Plebes gave a smoker to the Design School, inaugurating a new spirit of good fellowship causing much gratification to all. The advent, brief, but brilliant career, and early decease of the Parrot, are told elsewhere, but we drop a silent tear. We have promise of our own building next year, we have our unshaken esprit-de-corps, we have a famous record and an auspicious future.

Among this great crowd were the timid and the half frightened nouveaux, gaving with admiring eyes upon the veterans. Men who, having survived many a hard fought charette, now strutted around with the dignity peculiar to their age and profession. Some of these primordial manipulators of the triangle and T square, actually had the nerve enough to wear moustaches, (if they may be called such.) During the early part of the year our lion.

In our lowly, but fundamental position as Plebes, we were prepared to advance the standard of our Alma Mater in the face of the terrors of the Societe des Beaux Arts Architects. The pleasant humor of the then Sophomore Class demonstrated itself in a demand for a gentlemanly reserve exhibited by somber neckgear and hosiery accompanied by violent head dresses. We do not appreciate these blessings unless ourselves Sophomores. Consequently this year a new light was shed on many aspects of school life. Upon our ascent to these high realms we necessarily left a vacancy not easily to lx filled, and we watched dubiously the wild babes who came confidently to do so. A vivid display of gorgeous lysles and violent ties necessitated a reversion to saner haberdashery. This was accomplished in the usual manner, but we are happy to say at no expense to our mutual excellent relations. But duty combined with pleasure found us ready of September 23d, at 2 1 . M. for the first Class B Esquisse. The problem was hard and many went down in glorious defeat after a hard struggle, but rose determined to slaughter the next one or die in the attempt. Such a spirit met a proper reward, and our next problem brought us a high percentage of mentions, combined with a sauce of two firsts. With this encouragement the third problem was faced confidently and was to everyone’s satisfaction, scoring SO per cent of mentions and three problems of the first order. With the aid of a sympathetic and scholarly faculty we feel that we have done well and look to the future to bring, through our efforts, new laurels to the Alma Mater. Lest, we forget, never was there a more joyous occasion than our little eats, where merry tales and fragrant weeds capped a jolly meal. Sic semper Sophomore. 129 130 Edward Crump, Jr....

Our good will and utmost respect for our superiors did not have the least effect on softening their stone hearts; but instead, one morning we were surprised to find a large poster to the effect that each and every Plebe should immediately bedeck his precious dome with the ornate little Crimson brain box of his predecessors. The design school was not allowed the privilege of participating in the annual Class Kush, so therefore, we held no funerals in our class at that time. The ('lass of 1915, ever loyal to Carnegie, was willing to support their part of a Masquerade Dance which was given at the Conservatory of Music. Our men, although now, had that strong feeling of good fellowship, and on Dec. 19, 1911, held tin Class Banquet at the Fort Pitt Hotel, without the slightest interruption of any upper classmen. Dean Hornbostel, Acting Dean McGoodwin, Professors Ferrand and Schwab were our guests for the evening, all of whom most ably discussed subjects of interest and benefit to our men. The basket ball team, under tin efficient leadership of proved themselves worthy of representing the class in the league and had a most successful season. In conclusion, we may say that the class of 1915 has had a most successful year and has developed a spirit of unity between the classes that can never be broken. We feel quite sure that members of this class will distinguish the name of Carnegie in any part of the world in which they may be located. 132 pplteh jDesuju (Ends w mm : are afraid to address ourselves in actual life to the Girls of the Applied Design and so, forsooth, we offer a choice paragraph of honeyed sentences to their lovely eyes through the medium of the printed page.

Having a well organized class, we were on hand to give the Freshies a warm recep ion. As we won the annual class light in 1910, we resolved that no Plebe class should subdue us as Upper Classmen. It was one hot. day in the fall, when thirty of our noble band rounded up about eighty of the greenies and marched them to the heart of the business district, three miles away. The Freshies took their medicine in good spirit, in spite of the fact that many of them lost their hats, ties and socks. Those who refused to wear the little emblem of distinction, “the skull patch,” were sent the way of the famous “tank” route. Class officers were elected to serve during the first semester. After these events were passed, we settled down to a period of hard grinding, broken by the Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses. About this time the upper year class was invited to participate in a feed and smoker, given by the first year class, which was a very enjoyable affair. During the week between the first and second semesters we had a number of interesting inspection trips. We visited some of the largest manufacturing establishments in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. At the beginning of the second semester, new class officers were elected. About this time several clubs were formed in the Industry School, tin “Tech” Mechanics Club, the “Draftsmans” and the “Artillery” Clubs. Among tin social events, was a smoker given by the Mechanics Club. The most popular event during this period was the class banquet, on the 29th of February, at the Fort Pitt Hotel, which was really more than a success. Thanks are due all those who helped to make it the success it was. The Easter recess quickly passed, and the end of the term came almost before anyone realized it. We can feel thoroughly sure that the Class of 1912 will carry the name of dear old Carnegie throughout the land. 139 Juniors—Jlau J cluial of Applied Subustries R. L. Troeschkr. “Tresh”. Age 21.

As the result of the modern awakening along all educational lines, particularly motor education and expression, and the demands of all our large manufacturing concerns that their employes rise above mediocrity, many men are now taking advantage of the night classes. When one realizes that these men are all actively engaged in business during the day, one can readily see the sacrifices involved, and the earnest willingness of the night students to acquire knowledge as well as skill. It is this seriousness and devotion to higher ambitions that accounts for the rapid progress of the night students in spite of these handicaps. This year has been favorable to the night classes, since with the additional equipment in the various departments, they have found more accommodations and opportunities for individual work. Several new courses have been inaugurated this year, among which is the Night Class of Industrial Teachers, which is composed of men actively engaged in teaching in the industrial departments of the various public schools of Pittsburgh and vicinity. With the nation-wide demand for complete education in the public schools, Carnegie Technical Schools has taken the lead in the training of industrial teachers for the public schools, and we look for results from our night class of teachers. That the night students are not lacking in Carnegie spirit, witness the accounts of their various organizations that follow, witness their hearty co-operation in all school functions and activities, their interest and ready response to the “Thistle” and “Tartan”. 151 (Officers nf the Mentor (Class—3lnhustries 'I'iios.

None but those who have gone through the grinding mill of four ______ years of night school, can know how much it means to we Seniors, who are now filled with high hopes of gaining tin reward for which we have so stubbornly fought—the certificate of the Carnegie Technical Schools. The historian feels so happy and enthusiastic about his work, and his fellow graduates, that if space permitted he could till several pages about the boys, their doings and their sayings; but we just want to mention several classes that have been particularly identified in school work and student activities. In the night class of Electric Wiring, this year, there are four graduates out of thirty-six who started the course. In the Machinery Trades Course we started with a large class, but many of us have fallen by the wayside and the journey's end finds us with only five left. One of the important classes of the school, but one that seems somewhat isolated from the rest of us, up in their “Loft,” are the Sign Painters, of whom we hear most about the time they give their smokers, which are always attended by all who are fortunate enough to be invited, and are always enjoyed. The Sign Classes, with their splendid Carnegie spirit, never do things by halves, and Mr. Otterson has good reason to be very proud of “his boys.” Among the others who graduate this year are members of the Building Trades, Stationary Engineers, Plumbers, Sheet Metal and Cornice Workers. We Seniors feel that we have been greatly benefited by the instruction we have received at Carnegie Tech and trust some, if not all the lost members will return to complete the courses which have proven so beneficial to us. 152 I homas M.

Weiss. During the second year, Tlios. K. Lloyd was elected president. This office is now held by James F. McGinley. The smoker held by the Draftsmen’s Club in December, 1910, was a grand success, being held in the Assembly Hall of the Applied Industries Building. Smokes and lunch were served by the Club. Our good Dean, Mr. Connelly, gave a short talk for which he received much applause. The first Annual Banquet of the Club was held at the Monon-gahela House, Saturday, April 29th, 1911. After the meal proper, toastmaster Patterson spoke briefly and introduced Prof. C. B. Connelly, Dean of the School of Applied Industries, who addressed the crowd on “The Spirit of Tech”. Prof. C. C. Leeds, head of the department of drawing of the School of Applied Industries, spoke on “The Draftsman,” which was enjoyed by all the boys. Mr. Thus. R. Lloyd, President of the Draftsmen’s Club next spoke and was followed by several short addresses by other members of the Club. The committee was as follows: Messrs. Fin-layson, Bevan, Kramer, McCausland and Patterson. Very little has been done thus far this term by the Club on account of the hard schedule, but it is hoped that we will have a big time at the banquet now being planned, to be held at the Mononga-liela House during the latter part of April.

We were not long in this troubled state of mind although it was increased for the moment by those who had preceded us the year before. After contributing to their pleasures by divers vaudevillian “stunts”, we were set free to present a somewhat disheveled appearance before the Dean. Here we received a very different reception, and one that we will always think of in connection with the schools. Dean Connelly, a kind and friendly man, interviewed us and those who met the requirements were soon enrolled as students. The next thing of importance was a farce called class supremacy contests, set to band music and no admission charged. This was held September 22, on Tech Field, and was for the purpose of initiating us into the “mysteries of higher education,” as we were told. The forms of initiation were varied and consisted of push ball, wrestling and a tug of war. In these we came out victorious, thus asserting our rights for the coming year. A number of class affairs have been held and well attended. Prominent among these was a smoker given in honor of the Upper Class men. A great many of the faculty were there and as usual were heard from. A fine program was carried out and the evening well spent. We have contributed a few warriors to the athletic games, have helped to increase the band and taken an active interest in all of the organizations. You will say, “But how about the studies?” Well that is understood. Or isn’t it? With a faculty such as we have— men who are recognized authorities in their line—and our willingness to learn, we have progressed quite well. This is our history as we have made it so far, and as history is but a record of deeds done, we feel that we have only just started. What the future has in store for us we cannot say, but if we cultivate our talent and govern our actions in the way that is taught in the Carnegie Technical Schools, we will have but done our best.

It has been our aim to make the green the most prominent, color in the plaid flag, and that we have been successful in this is due largely to the manner in which tin instructors in the various departments have labored so faithfully with us in our studies. On Thursday, November 12th, 1011, a meeting was called by Mr. B. J. Patterson and Mr. IT. Bigge for the purpose of organizing the class. Since that time the class progressed very rapidly in social affairs, holding its first smoker in December, which was a great success, due to the untiring efforts of the late Mr. II. Firestone, whose tragic death occasioned much grief among the members of his class, and whose place as a worker will be hard to fill. The next event in our calendar was the gathering to have a picture taken for “The Thistle,” and that we were there in full force can be seen by a glance at the picture. Plans are now being made for a smoker that will eclipse any we have yet held. We are now nearing the end of the first lap in the four-year race, and we hope that the enthusiasm will be as prominent at the end of that time as it is at the present. F.. W. Logue. J. H. McGray C.

The young organization's achievements thus far and its growing strength and spirit give lively promise of a career of high usefulness. At tin? present time the Alumnae Association numbers one hundred and twenty-one (1-1) active and twelve (12) associate members, while enrolled as honorary members are: Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. Arthur Al ton Ilamersrhlag, our dean Miss Clara Linforth West, Mrs. Mary Schenck Woolman of Columbia University, and our faculty. Over half of our membership have joined the ranks of the world's workers and are to be found serving as teachers of domestic science and industrial arts, as dietitians, managers of school lunch rooms and tea rooms, demonstrators, private secretaries, record clerks, accountants, stenographers, nurses, designers, missionaries and in the library service. A number of the members have married, and of those at leisure several devote a part of their time to social settlement work. Death took from our ranks last year Miss Irmgarde C. Leschorn, of the class of 1901), a rare and lovely character, much beloved and deeply mourned. The activities of tin association are varied and many; from the somewhat formal annual reception to the graduating class in June, on commencement day, to the informal and always delightful annual subscription dance in the winter, with the busy work of the annual holiday bazaar—the proceeds of which go to the support of the tuition scholarship established Iasi year, and this year being first used— with teas at which there is a lecture or some special feature besides the purely social, there is something (‘very month during the school year, to be done in fellowship and fresh inspiration gained as the members of the alumnae gat Inn- in the parlors, back at M.

It has been established as a custom to have a meeting of the members once a month, with some form of entertainment offered. Several of these meetings have taken the form of luncheons, and in December, 1911, a dinner was held in honor of our dean, Miss Clara Linforth West, at the Bittenhouse. The faculty rooms of the school have lately been placed at our disposal and the Entertainment Committee has arranged a varied and attractive program for the coming year, the first meeting in the school being a lecture by Clifford B. Donnelley, dean of the School of Applied Industries of the Carnegie Technical Schools. At our last annual banquet, which was held at the Bittenhouse in connection with the graduates of 1911, new officers were elected for the year and are as follows: Miss Jane C. Bryce, president; Mrs. Clara Mills, vice president; Miss Anna A. Adams, treasurer, and Miss Lulu T. Dunlap, secretary. An accident in April, 1911, resulted in the death of Miss Mary L. Adams, of the class of 1910. She was a young woman of sterling character, and by her sweet and cheerful disposition had endeared herself to all who knew her. Her death was deeply mourned by her many friends. One who must be mentioned as our most loved friend and advisor is Miss Williams, of the faculty, who has regularly attended our meetings, and has enjoyed all of our joys and sympathized with us in our difficulties. 166 JUmtmt Association .Schools of ppltcb jictcnce atth JVppltch Jlcstgtt ORGANIZED JUNE 17, 1909 (Officers George H.

To an outsider the season would appear to be a complete failure; but to one who was “on tin inside looking out”— one who is acquainted with all of the conditions with which the coaches and tin team had to contend—the season will appear more successful. Early in September, Manager Lamoree fixed up a camp on the Louise Carnegie farm, laid out a football field and had everything prepared to take can of the full squad for a couple of weeks before school opened. The plan was to have the entire squad up there for light training and to acquaint tin fellows with each other, so that when they appeared on Tech Field they would be in shape to get down t � hard work. Hut circumstances caused some of Manager La-moree’s plans to remain unfulfilled. Many of the men were behind in their school work and had to remain in the city to raise conditions. During tin ten days in camp the squad varied from five to ten men, and as a result no systematic training could be done, and the camp was finally abandoned and work started on Tech Field. The first game of the season was with Waynesburg, on October 7, which the plaid team won by one touchdown. The game was very ragged, and many substitutes were used with varied success. Geneva and Muskingum were the next colleges met, and the 181 T HE 1911 fool ball season of the arnegie technical schools varsity team was far from being a brilliant one. Out of the nine games played, only four were credited to the winning column Carnegie boys managed to get away with both of these games. Grove City, the fourth team on our schedule, was the first to drag our colors in the dirt. Carnegie had many chances in this game, but failed to take advantage of any of them. However, they were greatly outweighed, and with their weight the Grove City team were a bunch of veterans who had had a groat deal more experience than the Carnegie team. At Allegheny the story was practically the same as that of the Grove City game. However, the plaid team played much better ball, and after the first, five minutes of tin? game actually outplayed their heavier opponents. But the first five minutes of play fold the tale, and Carnegie was sent home with the score 5 to 0 against them. On November 11 the team got away with a bad start against Westminster, and were scored upon in the beginning of the first period. They came back strong, however, and secured two touchdowns before tin half ended, and in the second half scored a safety, clinching the game. Going back to the size of the team, an average weight, lot) pounds, would be considered fair for a high school team, but nothing more. And yet we must use a team of that weight to compete with colleges whose teams outweigh us from fifteen to twenty-five pounds to the man. Is this because we do not get larger fellows in school? Or is it because the big men will not come out? Next season most of the 1911 team will be back, only three being lost by graduation. But, judging by the mid-year exam record, a larger number will stay away by request of the faculty, which makes it hard to say now who will be in uniform next fall. Manager Finkel has arranged a good schedule for the season, and it is up to the students to persuade more and larger men to come out. More interest must be created in Garnegie Tech if we ever expect to have a winning team. FEED L. KAMSDKLL. TRAINER HUNTER JOHNSON 1S2 MANAGER FINKLE CAPTAIN CRAWFORD ifnnthall Reason, 1912 Oct. 5.

The ’varsity track team of 1911 was one of tin best that have ever represented the schools. Not only did it include men of exceptional ability, but it was made up of a number of men who, by hard, consistent training, were able to place in at least one of the events and thus gain the points that won tin meets and tin championship. The season opened on May (� , the event being the annual spring inter-schools meet for the Ilamerschlag trophy, run in connction with the first annual meet, for high and preparatory schools. Pittsburgh High School won the latter contests over a field of seven other schools, with a score of (� 2 points. The results of the inter-school meet were Science (51, Design 45 and Industries 2«S points, giving the Ilamer-schlag trophy to the School of Applied Science for the second time. In this meet twenty of the fifty entrants won places and thus formed the nucleus of the ’varsity team. The intercollegiate meet was held at drove City on June 3, Westminster, deneva, Washington and Jefferson, Allegheny, drove City, West Virginia and Carnegie Tech being the entries. Allegheny College was the “dark horse ’ and was a dangerous rival for first honors. The final count gave us the championship with 47 1-3 points, while Allegheny had run up 45, W. and J. 23 1-3, Westminster 23 1-3, drove City 21 and deneva 4. Captain Wait, Steinmetz, Crawford and Hoots were again the stars, winning 37 points among them. Wait set the season's low mark of 11 minutes 2 seconds for two miles, and Hoots raised the broad jump record to 21 feet inches. The team elected Edmund It. Hoots, of New Hrighton, Pa., its captain for the 1912 season. Harry C. Franks was elected manager by the Hoard of Control. To arouse interest in track and field sports a meet was held between the departments on October 1( , giving many interesting results. As “The Thistle goes to press the 1912 track team, made up of the majority of the 1911 'varsity, together with a number of new men, is training daily on a new board track in preparation for two indoor meets before tin outdoor season opens. This board track, one-tenth of a mile in length, is an innovation at Carnegie Tech that will go far to help the development of track athletes. With a good team and a coach like Fred L. Kamsdell, Carnegie Tech faces a stiff schedule for 1912, that, if won in all of its events, will make the schools rank among the first of the country in track athletics. 185 Meet Event Name Pitt I.

The second day, April 15, was fair, and the team made the trip to Morgantown minus a catcher. Captain Moorhead tilled the vacancy, but lack of practice lost the game for Carnegie. The second game was with Pitt, and was turned into a slaughter by our boys, the final count being 15 to 1. On April 21), Allegheny won, 2 to 0, on their home grounds. Inability to hit at the right time was assigned as a cause for our loss, though the Meadvillians got awa with some lucky stunts. A home run in the first inning won the game for Western Beserve on Te� ch Fiedel May 12, the score standing (i to I.

Decoration Day was e-elebrated at Indiana, Pa., with two games. I'lie first we lost, 1) to 0, but in the afternoon our boys came back strong and won a real baseball game, 5 to 2. The same day that our trac k team won the We ste rn Pennsylvania c hampionship at drove City, the basediall team played in that village. Pain, our ancient enemy, Intel held olT during the races, but “came down like a wolf on the fold” soon after the national sport had been started. Our men could not control the slippery sphere, and se ve ral costly errors lost the game for us, 5 to 1. Although we lost 8 of our 11 games, the season was by no means a failure. Captain Moorhead was injured after the first game, and we lost our star first baseman. In spite of that, and the fact that several positions on the team were a source of worry to Coach McCulloch, the whole team played brilliantly in the field. At the bat, on the other hand, the results could not be depended upon, and often accounted for our losses. On the whole, the season's results, taking the scores into account, make it a favorable one for the Carnegie Tech records. Manager Powell succeeded remarkably well in handling the se asem. The 11)12 schedule, arranged by Manager Manker, includes games that should prove interesting to Carnegie Tech fans. Captain Vail has a number of last year’s men back, and, with the new recruits, will be able to muster a team that will hold its own with all its opponents. Here’s luck to them. 189 Sh ooT K 4 l csults 1911 IBascbaU Apr. 8. Alumni ................Rain Apr. 14.

Nineteen games were scheduled, twelve being played with colleges of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, and the other seven with amateur teams of high standing in local athletic circles. Three of the twelve collegiate games were won, as were two of games played with the other teams. All of the teams met, however, belong to the first rank in their respective classes in the popular floor game. Our loses art accounted for by several good and sufficient reasons. Of last year's team, only two men returned to school, Captain W. R. Williams and W. II. Kelt .. The former was the only one of the two to finish the season, as Kelt sustained a broken ankle in his first practice, and was able t � take part in but three games. All of the men were too small and light for a representative college team, and in every game played at a disadvantage. Williams made a good captain of the team. lie set the pace in every game in which lie took part, although one of the lightest men on the team. In 1 games he scored 34 goals. Colvin, playing center in every game of the season, was the star of the five, scoring 45 field goals and 116 out of 231 attempts from the foul line. Kesselman was Old Reliable ’ in the back of the floor, guarding the basket with all of the earnestness of a royal bodyguard. He scored but seven times, but stopped countless attempts by his opponents. Ayers, Ilall and ITeisel alternated through the season, and their fast floor work was responsible for a large number of our tallies. Douthett, Keltz, Ruth, Dave Williams and Savage were also participants in various games during the season, and each contributed points to the total score. Coach Kamsdell, assisted by I)r. Marks, built up a system of team work that, with heavier material, would have won the season for the schools. As most of the men are in lower classes, there is hope for a fast and heavier team next year. Interest in the game is at its height, and the schools expect better things for the future. . fin number of games won during the basketball season of 1911-12, the ’varsity was far from successful, but the way in which each game was played by every man on the team is 193 Dec. lo Jan. 6 Jan. 11 Jan. 16 Jan. 20 Jan. 23 Jan. 25 Feb. 2 Feb. 9 Feb. 10 Feb. 15 Feb. 17 Feb. 20 Feb. 23 Feb. 24 Mar. 1 Mar. 15 CAPTAIN WILLIAMS Basketball Reason IB 12 Westinghousc Club ....... 23 Carnegie. .20.

Then, when these had established their superiority, they were able to participate in but one intercollegiate contest. This was because Manager Manker was handicappd by having no way of meeting the expenses that games entail, and also because final examinations were planned for the week of the intercollegiate tournament at Beaver Falls. The one contest played was with Washington and Jefferson at Washington, Pa., May 20, and resulted in a tie. In the doubles Captain Duff and Flood won from Brownlee and Hamilton, 0-1 and 0-2, while Beeken and Douthett lost to Watt and Baggs, 1-0, 8-0 and 4-0. in the singles, Baggs, of W. and .1., defeated Beeken 0-2 and 0-4; Douthett lost a good match to Hamilton, D-7, 2-0 and 2-0; Duff triumphed over Watt, 0-2 and 0-2, and Flood won easily from Brownlee, 6-4 and 0-2. Late in the fall, tin Athletic Board of Control adopted tennis as a minor sport and decided to give insignia to the members of the teams. Walter (J. Flood was elected manager, and has prepared an interesting schedule. The main feature will be the intercollegiate tournament, which will probably be held under our auspices. The winning of this will mean a great leap forward for the sport in Carnegie Tech. 197 1911 Hlarsitu Ci-mus (Leant Walter G. Fi.ood, Captain. Forrest W. Manker. Manager. George M. Douthett Edward E.

It is now agreed to by ggll all tl at no football, baseball or basketball game can be complete without the melodious strains of the band to cheer the Alma Mater on to victory. This year, under the efficient management of Mr. Welker and the supervision of Mr. Woodward, the band has increased its efficiency far beyond that attained in previous years. Prof. Fr. Schmie-deke, a former member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, was induced to accept the position of director, and through his untiring energy and patience, supplemented by lessons in harmony, a most remarkable stimulus has been given to the attempt toward attaining perfection. As a reward for the valuable services rendered by the band at all home football games, it was decided to send them to Cleveland with the team. This was done, and they loyally assisted at the Western Reserve game. At the First National Mine Demonstration at Forbes Field, on October 31, 1011, the band made its second debut before the public and added much to the program of the day. On February 14, 1912, in honor of Mr. Conway’s birthday, the band gave a pleasing concert at the University Club. In view of this season’s recognition, the band looks forward to the next school year with an assurance of still greater achievements and renown. 206 207 1011-12 MUSICAL CU BS d lee Club Robert J.

Not only have the men enjoyed a number of very pleasant, occasions, but they have mastered a great deal of difficult music to their own, as well as to the public’s satisfaction. The home concert, given on March 7, in the Carnegie Music Hall, followed by a dance in the Schenley ball room, was such a success that a number of people were heard to express the belief that this season's organization was superior to last year’s, the best in (he history of the ( bibs. The (}lee Club, with its excellent singing and occasional comedy, was exceedingly popular, being a source of enjoyment for all who heard it. At all the concerts Mr. MacDowelJ’s men were greeted with frequent applause for encores. As usual, too, the quartet was a success, and during their numbers at all concerts, especially the home concert, they had difficulty in getting through with their parts, so delighted was the audience. 211 The Mandolin Club, under t lie direction of Signore Gregorrio Scalzo, made a lasting reputation for themselves in the quality of music they played, and the excellence with which they played it. Sig. Sealzo’s new composition, “The Reverie,” dedicated to the dub, is wonderful as a mandolin orchestra number. Sig. Scalzo's music seems to aim for richness in seconds, and “The Reverie” is no exception. An internal organization of the Mandolin Club is tin quintet, which always played to pleased hearers music beyond the abilities of the balance of the club. The success of the season is due not only to the results in music, but also to the efficient management of the organization, all of whom deserve great credit 212 213 tuT|'l MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE SCHOOL DRAMATIC CLUB (Lljc ilnunattc (With iWaryofet HiuTtsnu (Carnegie JScIttwl center our talents and our efforts on different kind of work than we ever have before. ith this end in view, we chose “As Von Like It” for o� r big event It has been decided to give it out. in the open ... the spring, and we petition the prayers of all our friends for a good day.

Though the seemingly incredible space of two months has intervened, many more have yet to pass before more recent events will have entirely effaced the pleasant memories of that momentous occasion. What matters it if the “beanery” almost went out of commission during the next few weeks? If many of us had to forego our sumptuous noon-day repast of baked beans and hash for many a day to catch up financially, who cares? As Bert Williams says, “Nobody. The prom was held in the beautiful new ballroom of the Hotel Schenlev, the sixteenth of February. The reception hall, with its myriads of fragrant crabapple blossoms, soft wicker chairs and a wonderful fountain playing in the center, presented a veritable summer garden beneath the soft, shaded lights. Every corner had its booth, which, attractively decorated with pennants, cushions and beautiful ferns, palms and smila.x, made a bower of loveliness not surpassed in Alice’s “Wonderland.” The grand march took place about nine thirty, and after the patronesses had greeted everyone, dancing began. Even a number of our noble faculty, having succumbed to the enchanting music, quite lost their accustomed dignified air and danced with as keen enjoyment as the youngest of their proteges. Between twelve and one supper was served in the spacious dining rooms, which were also appropriately decorated. Dancing was then continued until three thirty, and it was with a lingering regret that we heard the last strains of “Good Night, Dear,” die away. R T,. F., ’13. 219 220 JlHargaret iUnrrison (Carnegie S'chnnl 3Jnninr “from” HE Junior “prom” is over now, and we are gradually settling down to good, hard study. It lias been said that “anticipation” is better than “realization,” but the realization of the Junior “proin” is something which will never be forgotten, especially by the class of “1913.” Everyone was rushed at the last minute, as is usually the case with any great event, but everything went smoothly in the evening. In the receiving line were Miss Jean ITorrigan, the class secretary; Mrs. Vermorkeu, who acted in Dean West’s place, and Mrs. ITainerschlag. The school was beautifully decorated with southern greens and spring flowers, and was the scene of much gaiety. It certainly was great fun dodging around the musicians and the punch bowl in the corridor. The punch, by the way, was very popular, both as a beverage and a subject of conversation, as everyone tried to guess the contents of it. After dancing until we felt faint pangs of hunger, all descended to the Faculty Parlors for “eats.” At the upper end of the hall was a table reserved for the chaperons and faculty. The twenty-eighth dance came all too soon, and we then retired to put on our wraps. Suddenly wild shrieks filled the air and loud lamentations were heard on every side. The cause for this unseemly noise was easily seen, or rather could not be seen, for the lights had all gone out. Someone shouted, “The candles in the dining room,” and so the candles were brought to the rescue. It crtainly did look funny to see the girls dressed in their party capes, holding a lighted candle in one hand and a slipper bag in the other, and wandering around like Diogenes looking for honest men. Thus ended the Junior “prom,” and we all departed with the feeling that we had had the time of our lives. 221 ??? 223 B PAN HELLENIC CLUB Jan-Hi'lli'ttic (Club H. M. McCullough D. M. Scott...... Jos.

It was decided that more prominent and better speakers could 1h secured if the clubs would hold several joint meetings during the year. With this idea in view, the different clubs were asked to vote upon the proposition of combining for several joint meetings during the school year, the first one to be in October and the others every other month after that. It was specified that at least one of the meetings should be a dance. The idea was taken up and adopted by all of the clubs—the Crucible Club, tin Mho (Mill), the Civil Engineering Society, the Mechanical Engineering Society and the Ful-clum Club. The combined organization was named “The Federated Engineering Society,” and the affairs of the society wore vested in an executive committee consisting of the presidents of the respective clubs. Each club in turn is to be? responsible for one meeting during the year. The first meeting was held on December 14, with Mr. Humphrey, of the Wostinghouse Company, as speaker. A large turnout greeted the speaker and assured the success of the plan. To relieve the tension of examination week a dance was held Friday evening, January 2( , at McDougalFs Dancing Academy in East Liberty. At tin meeting to be held in April it is being planned to secure a speaker of national reputation, but as yet the negotiations are not completed. Executive Committee, W. 11. BCENTE, Chairman, R. C.

During the past year the Carnegie Mechanical Society has not only maintained its standing of being one of tin? strongest and foremost engineering societies in the schools, but has, by the addition of its club room, very materially increased its position. Hy its constantly increasing library, the members of this society are given an opportunity to become familiar with almost every line of machinery with which the mechanical engineer is apt to come into contact Let it not be inferred by these remarks that the proceedings of the society are purely intellectual, for on the evening of the third day of June occurred the annual mechanical banquet, when the members and alumni of the society were assembled at the German Club as guests of Prof. W. Trinks. The evening was spent in banqueting and speechmaking, the speaker of the evening being Mr. Amsler, who spoke on producer gas and gas producers. Credit must be given to the Mechanical Society as being one of the foremost societies in forming the Federated Engineers’ Society, of which they were among the first to signify their willingness of becoming members. Hy looking backward, our record not only scientifically, but socially is one of which to be proud, and looking forward no reason is seen why we shall not maintain the same high standing in the future as in the past. 257 AxaiDOS oxinaaNiOKa 'iiaid CLljc Qlifril Engineering jSactcty (Officers Wiluard II.

Cornelius ..................................Treasurer History HE Civil Engineering Society had a most successful lecture course for the past year. Prof. Mott, who has spent some time in the canal zone, gathered information of much interest to the society. In his lecture he related the new methods of constructing the largo locks, and how they were rendered improbable to disastrous failings through a double gate system. In describing the machinery used and the progress made, Prof. Mott used lantern slides, which enlightened the students as to how the work was managed and how far the work had progressed. At tin conclusion of the lecture the society was much surprised at the presentation of a trophy (a loving cup) by Prof. Mott. This to bo contested for by the different classes represented in the society. A lecture of much importance, owing largely to it being a subject of one of our late disasters, was given by Prof. Thayer. Immediately after the Austin dam burst, Prof. Thayer made a trip to the site of the disaster to inspect and investigate the probable cause. By the aid of a number of photos taken of the dam and of specimens of concrete taken from different parts of the wall, where the breaks occurred, Prof. Thayer discussed and gave the most probable causes of failure. The lecture was concluded with a general discussion of the relative position of the dam, paper factory and the town of Austin. Among the late arrivals of the Civil Engineering Department we have great pleasure in announcing Prof. Stanton as a member of the Civil Engineering Society. Every year sees advancement in the Civil Engineering Society. With the aid of an action taken in arranging a schedule of lectures for each coming year, the society hopes to impress itself as a source of interest and information on every student entering the schools bent on civil engineering. 259 (Officers -VI.

The prime object of the club is to construct and maintain a fully equipped station, which, when completed, will be an additional attraction to the electrical equipment of the schools. Some of the members have already completed or have under construction stations of their own at their homes. The station will consist of a three-hundred-foot antenna supported at one end by an iron pipe mast and at the other by the roof of one of tin buildings. The lead in wire will be taken through a window of the electric wiring shop where tin instruments are to be assembled. These are to be made by members of tin club. The prospects for a successful organization are good, and before long ( T. S. will have a station equal to that of any technical school in the country.

Button took advantage of the Bust Liberty Bed Letter Day and surprised his collegians occasionally by appearing with one of those “round haircuts. The “Cold Dust Twins- also played an important part in the club. Under the supervision of Mr. i. Dunnells, instructor of mechanics, a very interesting inspection trip was taken December 11, and the subject of reinforced concrete was considered. Mr. 1 . Y. Hepburn, instructor of the machine shop, delivered a very interesting address on some of his experience gone through in his commercial life. 11 is address was not only entertaining, but instruct ive as well. A committee for the decision of club designs was appointed, which included li. A. Button, J. Y. Xunge and Y. E. Laughner. After careful consideration and by tin approval of the members of tin club, rings were decided upon. Y. E. Laughner submitted the design. D. Y.

K.feftASY I 271 Registration Bag One September day in old Smoketown. When summer was over and the students cairn round. Three Plebes arrived on the Schenley Park scene. When many fierce battles had been seen. Innocent and confident, with neckties smug, And hosiery, tin colors of a thirty-rent rug. How easy they looked to the Sophs hanging 'round. Who, with paddles and fists, were ready to pound. But on they came up the curved road (Had to assume the Techite mode. Then suddenly the Plebes were badly frightened, For the anger of tin Sophs seemed to be heightened. One Plebe was long and toothpick like; The Sophs gave him the name of Mike. His tie was purple, his socks were red, But the color from his face had fled. His feet, were shaking in his shoes As if he had just gotten terrible news. lie turned to his comrades, but no help saw; lie seemed about to paste somebody’s jaw. They, too, wore ties of outrageous style, And socks whose color would make a mule smile. “Take off your hats,” the Sophs did cry, “Or last year’s straws will go skv high.” As quick and polite as one could wish Every hat came off with a beautiful swish. Humbly and gently they looked at the Sophs, Who regarded them with the stare of profs. In some strange way, a Plebe's tie flew Into the hands of the wild Soph crew. Coats were turned so the lining would show, And trousers rolled up a foot from below. With one sock up and one sock down Each Plebe resembled a circus clown. 272 Up to ;i telegraph pole they went, And, in obeisance low, they bent. Other IMebes came np and were put into line And each in his specialty did shine. Each Soph seemed to have found something new, Which (‘very last IMebe just had to go through. To sing, to dance, to swim on land, The Sophs looked at as something grand. While one in a tree was viewing the moon, Another below was singing a time. E'en the professors came to hear, But were careful not to get too near. The noble Sophs, you above have seen, Belong to the class of Lucky Thirteen, Who always did do things up brown, Though it often made the Tech profs frown. Such is life on the Plebe's first day, Which he will remember when he is gray. 273 •Blotters front a Tontc-4Habe llffcbc to his Mother Pittsburgh, September .21, 11)11. Dear Ma: Well, I am here at last all safe and sound and I am now a student in the day school of Applied Science, class of 1915, Section C. And, gee whiz, 1 surely had one grand time getting registered. The first thing 1 did when 1 got to the school was to ask a fellow where I had to go to register, and Ik said, “Oh, you're a Hebe, are ¥011?” I said no 1 was an American, and I was going to go to Carnegie Tech and I had passed my entrance exams in June. Then he said lie would show me, and 1 followed him into a big room with steps in it instead of a floor, and got some papers for me to till out. And then, when they called my number, I went down to the desk like the rest of them, only I went to the wrong one first, thinking I could get through quicker that way, because there wasn't anyone there hardly. The man told me to go to the other end first. Then, when T went to pay my money, I had to take off my shoe, because it had slipped way down to my toe, and I couldn't reach it any other way. I was glad that I had on my new red-and-blue socks that Aunt Sally gave me; I knew that 1 needn't lx ashamed of them. Tb [v| iui Yh Hc,v(E_) 274 Then, when I went outside, that fellow that told me where to go and a lot of other fellows grabbed me and took off my coat and turned it wrong side out and made me put it on that way, and they rolled my pant-legs up to my knees, and when they saw my socks they hollered like everything and made me take them off, and then I bad to dance up on the stone railing of the steps. I felt awfully ashamed when some girls came along, but then' was a lot of other fellows doing the same thing, and they told us that it was all in the game, so I guess it's all right. Then they made us sing “Home, Sweet Home” and the “Sextet from Lucy,” only we didn’t know what the “Sextet from Lucy” was, so we sang “America” instead. I asked them for my socks, but they said that 1 would have to go to the director’s office for them. 1 had to buy a Plebe cap (Plebe means same as Freshman, I found out; so I’m a Plebe). II is blue, with a big green button on it, and the whole thing is just about as big as a bug’s ear, and we’ve got to wear them until Thanksgiving, or get fired out of school P. I). Q. Well, I guess I will have to stop now and get my trigonometry. From vour loving and obedient son, WILLIE (iKEEN. 275 September 27, 11)11. Dear Ma: Well, school has begun, all right. We have to work like blazes, and somehow or other there doesn't seem to be time enough in 24 hours to do all we have to do. I sat up (ill 10 o'clock last night studying trig. It's tierce—all about signs and cosigns and sea cants and things that I never knew there was before. I haven't found my green-and-red socks vet. I went to the director's office, and a lady then asked me what I wanted, and 1 said I wanted my green-and-red socks. Sin acted awful funny and began to cough, and told me that 1 must have made some mistake, and then I went out and tried to find the fellows that had them, but I couldn't. Don't tell Aunt Sally that 1 lost them, will you? Say, ma, 1 have joined a fraternity. It's the Eta Hite (that name is two Greek letters that stand for Lover of Wisdom, they told me). They don't have many Plebes in it, so I am unusually honored, as they said. They are all Sophomores in it this year, so far. 1 had to be ini tinted first, of course. The first thing they made me do was to walk up the street and raise my cap to everybody that came along. They made me do that all the way down to the Margaret Morrison School, and then one of the fellows said that he wanted to speak to his sis- ter in there, and they had me go in to the dean's office and ask for 'T o A io N qNtK fvo N I hr Upvvako g gLe_D n Muf CJL'D 276 Maggio Murphy. The dean there is a woman, and she looked in the papers on her desk and said that there was no such person there, so I went out again. The fellows said that was queer, but maybe she hadn't registered yet. Then they made me do what everybody has to do who joins their frat—climb up one of the pillars in the front part of the Margaret Morrison School. They said that the higher 1 climbed tin more honor 1 would get in tin frat, and that if I got to the top, I would be admitted Cum Magnam Lamle (that's Latin, and means with much honor). I was about half way up, and just about all in, when I heard somebody hollering at me, and he told me to come down right away. The fellows were all out of sight somewhere, so 1 came down and told the man why I did it when he asked me. Poor fellow, I guess lie's got consumption, or tuberculosis, because he coughs something tierce, especially when 1 told him what I was trying to do it for. I went away in a hurry, because 1 didn’t want to get that. Then I saw the fellows again, and they said I would be admitted, all right, (tee, but 1 am getting along tine with the fellows.

Inliniits Jjtrnt A distinguished member of the ancient Central American family, Conurns Xantholaemus (not to be confounded with the democratic offshoot of the ancient house, Conurus Caroliniensis), lie was beloved of all who knew him. Pronounced mental depression, superinduced by climatic unsuitability and aggravated splenetic melancholia, led to his early demise. Nevertheless his engaging personality, genuine good breeding and affable temperament, secured for him a host of friends amongst the men, and his aquiline and patrician features won the smiles and hearts of the gentler sex. lie was a Bird. Given to reflection and philosophic pursuit, it was a pleasure to meet him. Nothing betrayed him into a harsh word, and his sanguine outlook on life—alas! so short—was unruffled by passion. Ncverthe less, he was susceptible to slight, and it has been freely said that prolonged and vain expectation of a crit hastened his end. His life was upon commentary on the mutability of things earthly. Beloved, admired, deeply versed in the knowledge of this world, a brilliant future before him, all seemed propitious. But iron-handed fate recked naught of this; the stroke fell in tin spring time of his life; he died. The doctors predicated in their diagnosis a sudden stoppage of the heart, due to paralysis of vascular circulation, accompanied by cessation of the breath, induced by suspension of the functioning of the lungs. Be that as it may, he died. O r I will the year lull be associated m tile thoughts of the architects with the name of J. Polonius Firm, lovingly called in short “Firm.” 279 But not unwept or unsung. Could lie but have seen the unrivaled gorgeousness of his obsequities. The dim chapel unrelieved save for the size of the windows, the silence unbroken save by the sighs of the multitude, the lovely ladies, their eyes suffused with pitying dew, could he have but seen. The body lay in state for three days, and the noble features of the dead were viewed by thousands. Tilt? funeral was unparalleled. It was presided over by the Right Irreverend Lord Reginald (Titchlow, ably seconded by Ilis Eminence, the Bishop McCullough, of Snooksville. The service was brief but impressive, the throng of bereaved friends tilling the air with lamentations. After which a vast cortege accompanied tin body to the grave, where, with a few appropriate words, the last remains of J. Polonius Firm were laid away. May he rest in peace. No further epitaph does he need than these simple words of Dan Korn bloom, “It was a grand funeral, even if it did cost twenty plunks.” 280 Ctljc 3ool| of the Jrophestes of lectricites (Chapter 5 1. And it came to pass in tin nineteen hundred and eleventh year, in tin tenth month of the year and on the third day of tin month, that a voice spoke unto Eleetricites, tin prophet, saying: 2. Speak now unto the children of tin fifth year night, even unto Alexander, the son of Airston, and Mack, the son of Carpenter, and Frank, the son of Keck and John, the son of Snoder, saying: 3. Lo! ye children of the fifth year night, whose eyes are turned to-electric-wards, get: ye up! Hie ye now hence to the building which is within the park and in tin eventide, when tin sun waxeth low in tin heavens, make it unto yourself as a house of knowldge, and dip ye deeply therein, for hi and behold! This is the last year of your sojourn in the land of Schenley, in the house of Carnegie, where dwelleth the tribe of Applied Scienceites. 4. Gird ye your shoes on your feet, and your mantles on your backs, and take ye your scrips in your hands, for lo! ye who come from the land of tin Wilkinsites, beware the comings and goings of the street cars, for ye shall stand in the snow when the wind bloweth, yea, even when the cold winds of the Northwest with icy breath shall sweep across tin country and freeze your blood. 5. And ye shall wait, yea from the hour of the going of one street car even unto the hour and a half of the going of the next. ( . And ye shall cross a grievous high mountain, and beware lest ye stumble thereon, for the pitfalls are many and the ties in divers places are few. 7. But if ye believe in the word of your professors ye shall surely prosper, and the grievous high mountain shall be a molehill, and your waiting shall lx forgotten, for your steps shall be light and your marks shall be high. 8. But if ye turn your faces away from the word of your professors and follow after other men and women, and bow down yourselves to them and worship them. {). Or if ye make unto yourself many special dates and keep them—lo! I will send the Dennisonbites and the ITolcoinbites, and they will descend upon you, and your portion will be among the F's and 3re shall be flunked, for the P’s shall be plenteous, but the C’s shall be few. 281 10. Verily! verily! I say unto you that when the day and hour of graduation shall come, if ye turn yourselves away from the word of your professors, ye shall surely flunk. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 11. But if ye follow diligently after the word of your professors ye shall surely make no dates, neither will ye follow after other men and women, no, not even to the Holy City of drought, which is named Wilkinsburg, 12. But ye shall labor from the rising of the sun to the setting thereof, and from the setting of the sun to the depths of the night, and your goings and comings shall be as the wings of the wind, 13. And when the day and hour of graduation shall come, ye shall rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward. 14. Hear then, oh children of the liftli year night, whose minds are turned to electric-wards, and give ear unto me—Electricites—thy prophet 15. Beware of the changing of your course! 16. Beware of the NVoodlawn Pass, and the slippery slides in winter, for thrice blessed is he that walketli thereon and stumbleth not! IT. Beware of dates! 18. Beware of strong drink! 10. Beware of tobacco! 20. Beware of dogs! 21. Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in your professors, believe also in degree. 22. And the children of the fifth year night heard the word of the prophet, but at times they heeded it not, and erred and strayed from the paths of righteousness; but th fear of tin P's was in their hearts, and they returned to the ways of their professors and followed not further after other men and women, and did even work for the joy of working, and flunked not, for C’s were given unto them. 23. But of the further doings of the children of the fifth year night, whose minds are turned to-electric-wards, of their goings out and comings in, are they not written in the Chronicles of the Schools of Carnegie?—Selah. AJAX. 282 3lust i s 31t Happcnch SCENE—History Class IBLS are all seated in their respective places. Mrs. Vermorcken - calls the roll. Everybody is present except Fat Someone suggests that maybe Fat is sick. We had had cooking the day before. Mrs. Vermorcken—We have a very important lesson this morning, girls, one that requires much study and thought (sighs heard in the vicinity of the middle table). The lesson may have seemed a trifle long and uninteresting, yet when we consider the subject in all its phases, 1 think you will agree with me that we could not have broken the unity of the assignment. Now—that we may more thoroughly understand today's subject we will have a brief review of the events leading up to it. Miss Ash, what were the six great Teutonic tribes that invaded the empire? Miss Ash—Why, Mrs. Vermorcken, 1 was sick last night and wasn't able to study my lesson. Mrs. Vermorcken—But, Miss Ash, my question was merely review of what we have been going over for the last three or four lessons. Miss Ash—Oil! Well—well-a. Let me see. Was it the—oh, 1 don’t know. Mrs. Vermorcken—Miss Baur, can you tell us the names of the six Teutonic tribes? Miss Baur—The Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Lombards, Burgundians, Franks and— Several hands shoot up, among them Betty Ash’s. Mrs. Vermorcken—Well, Miss Ash, can you name the sixth? Miss Ash (triumphantly)—The Huns! The hands wave wildly in the air. Mrs. Vermorcken—No, Miss Ash, you are confus— “The Vandals!” Louis just couldn’t keep it one minute longer. Mrs. Vermorcken—Yes, Miss Turkic, if was the Vandals. Now, Miss Dow, will you go to the map and point out for us the original home of the Ostrogoths, and trace their wanderings and their final settlement in the empire? Miss Dow leisurely walks to the map and picks up pointer. First; she stands on her left foot, then she stands on her right, now on her left again, and once more on her right. Sin gazes at the wall for inspiration, and finally, with a look of despair she turns to Mrs. Vermorcken: “Why, 1 don’t believe 1 can do it.” 283 Mrs. Verm ore ken—Who ran take Miss Dow's place? John Wentzel—I’m not sure, but—were the Ostrogoths the ones that bundled up the babies and inarched bag and baggage down into Italy? Mrs. Vennorcken— es, Miss Wentzel, you have the right idea. John—•Well, 1 11 try to point it out. ((Joes to map, relieves llen-hietta of the pointer.) Well, isn't that strange, Mrs. Vennorcken, 1 never dreamed there were so many places those Ostrogoths might have come from and gone to. I reckon I can't do it after all. Miss Lehman comes to the rescue and in less than three shakes the history class is running like a charm. Fully fifteen minutes are consumed in the discussion (Mrs. Vennorcken) of the merits and demerits of the Teutons. Finally the lesson is taken up and Mrs. Ver-morcken gradually calls on each girl as her name appears on the roll; where “Peg's” name is placidly situated second from the last. In the meantime Peg anxiously inquires of Vida what her Pig Ben says, and Vida responds that it is ten minutes of twelve. “Peg fidgets, because—well, time flies, but Mrs. Vennorcken flies faster. Mrs. Vennorcken—('an you add anything, Miss Webb? reign of Charles the Great? Miss Wagner—The barbaric Teutons became civilized and were made a part of the new Komano-Germau world.

Time: Inspection week. Place: Tamp Louise Carnegie. Actors: The miners. Thomas: Were I to express what T think of this acetylene lamp, it would shock you fellows.

Ask Higdon.” Why did everybody visit the general store at Carver’s Ferry? Thomas: “Holy Mackinac, but miners are a rough bunch. Believe I’ll change my course.” Brown: “Now, Tommy, listen.

Back to Texas and to ranch life, Camp again among the hills, And to ride behind the cattle, Feel again the life that thrills; Hear the coyotes, in the moonlight, Singing like a thousand hells, As 1 trail to “Sleepy Hollow,” Or camp out on “Howard Wells.” Get a rope around a yearling, Yank his feet clean off the ground, Try my luck at riding “Pink Eye,” Break his neck and still be sound. Hear the bugle of the stage coach That comes rolling in to town, Just as o’er the azure hillsides Good “Old Sol” is coming down. Get a glimpse of Old Ozona, When the shadows greet the hills, And a breath of air so bracing, That your sorrow ever stills. Back to Texas? No, I'm snowbound, City life has got me sure; Got me working like a donkey, Just because there is a lure. Lure of wealth and great achievement, Lure of competition, too; So Pm in it to my boot tops, Got to stick till dreams come true. Now and then when business slumbers, And by luck Pve got a chance, I can draw up by the fireside, Where one's fancies fondly dance. Then my heart goes back to Texas, Back to God’s own promised land, Where the love of freedom lingers, And the laws of virtue stand. 299 IT ggge She rtillcru 1 happened one bright afternoon, during class hours, that some of our noble associates of the Wiring Class decided, like Iling, of the Sunday comics, that what we needed was orguni- hap- zation, in order that our desires should be realized, and so it pened that the “Artillery” came to life. The first thing necessary in such an organization was to choose a leader, and so our gallant captain was selected from one of die op-ganizers and charter members, Captain Ted, of the “Valiant Six,” and who was afterwards to lead us on through many bloodless battles and on to victory. When on parade, the Artillery presented a most admirable appearance of strong and sturdy men, ready to go out and do battle. Many were the parades through the halls and corridors of the buildings and into class rooms, where we always charged (electrical experiments with currents of E. M. F.). Our camp was located in Calderwood’s field, better known as the shop by the wireinen, and when the clock began to creep towards twelve, the men patiently waited for mess call and then headed toward the “beanery” for a large mess of beans. After this followed roll call, the following names appearing in order: Theodore II. Ileuber, captain, of the invulnerable six; Paul S. Dawson, first lieutenant; Jay T. Stickney, first lieutenant; Casper Pep-pel, first sergeant; Warren C. Cook, sergeant and chief cook; Paul If. Jayne, sergeant and chief story teller. __ J ° BY STONES. 300 Canto I. Canto II.

Nor had I paused, when, from the heights, A dark and fearful spirit Swooped down upon my quaking soul Before I knew he's near it. And as I fell into the depths, I neared a mighty heater. Then knew I well that 1 should ne'er Gaze on the great Saint Peter. “But , of my captor 1 inquired, “What is thy name and region? “The patron saint of students, I Am quite well known as Legion; I am the head of all the de’ils That guide the boys in school days, And now you'll see both friends and foes That knew you and your fool ways.

To hear the noise, You'd think this school was full of boys; We surely are a hungry bunch. That's why we hustle to our lunch. I’m glad I work for our Miss Brodt, For let me say 1 see a lot, The many things on which I gaze Oh, me! Oh, my! it does amaze. Now there’s Miss Cauble with her hobby grape-fruit, I'm worn to a frazzle, trying her to suit. Foiled dressing? Oh dear, no! It never will do! I eat only oil dressing, and when made just so. Sometimes I feel sorry for dear Dr. Martin, I’d like some excuse for my lunch and me partin’; If I thought she’d accept it, I’d give it up gladly; But I’m always afraid it would turn out quite sadly. It’s milk and it’s soup, and then milk some more, My. oh. my! that never will much muscle store; She needs some potatoes and spinach and rice, I could fix her a bunch just ever so nice. Miss Williams will take a little of each, And always we hand her what she cannot reach; She believes in eating, 'tis plain to see. And it’s well, for with her it sure does agree. And there is Miss Arrowsmith with her smiles and smiles, Which, if fastened together, would reach miles and miles. Her lunch is not the least bit ungainly, In fact I may say she cats rather sanely. How we fume and we fuss to fix up a tray, To please our dear Dean in her very own way; So that she can. like the epicures say, Fate cannot harm me, I have dined today. 303 “Oh! not so much cream in my coffee, Miss Webb, And a glass for my milk kindly give me. he said. Oh! no tomatoes today, but I thank you the same.” And now, my dear reader, can you tell me the name? Miss Stoner comes next: she’ll have a little soup; All the while talking gaily with the girls in a group; Macaroni and rice! why they both contain starch; So she tosses her head and on she does march. “It’s mighty Aude,” the student Phouts, “that I have flunked this quizz.

Finally, the conversation turned to the greatness of Oklahoma. After many opinions, all flattering, had been advanced, one citizen admitted that there was just one drawback ; if there were just a littie more rain, everything woul i be perfect. At this one of the “others” remarked, “Well, you just wait till next year when my son comes home from Carnegie Tech, and I’ll have him survey a pipe line to the Gulf.

So up to Mr. Woods’ room We went to pitch our camp. We sat it through for two long hours And martyrs we were, I must say, Emerging just like pounds of butter On a scorching August day. Then down the stairs we dragged our feet, To Doctor Martin’s section; But as each girl drew near her seat. She heard that hackneyed direction: Go get your coats and sweaters, girls, I’ve every window open. Why it’s not cold, what ails you all ? If one is sick. I'll dope ’im.

M.)—“I don’t know a thing about baseball.” He— Let me explain it.” She—“Very well. Give me an example of a home run.” A Story in Baseball Terms. Captain Futigo. a veteran coach driver, dropped into a center seat to witness a play. He was there but a short time when the manager called him out. Catching his cap and protector, he walked down the middle aisle to the box office and left. To the right of the door the champion was stopped bv a fair Miss, who had been put out of a home. She drew her gloved hands from her muff and forced the captain to assist her and support her decision. She made a hit with the single man. Although it was a sacrifice to stand the delivery of the diamond. he was game and the two were tied in series. W ithout delay, he secured a double team and soon the rubber tired coach had covered that block and was on fly time for Texas. At the third curve the wild horses balked and, with a bound. entered a field. A spike from the bed plate interfered with the motion of the coach and it tipped over. The captain tried to catch the fair Miss but she lost her standing, was pitched out. and slid on her shoes and mitts in the dust. Inn second, a score of masked men threze themselves upon the two. They struck the captain who had signalled for assistance, then stealing the bag of fowls which was under the bench, ran in triple time for home. At first, the fair Miss thought the captain was dead but life had not been forfeited. By faithfully aiming him she won a victory. Don’t worry when you stumble; remember a worm’s the only thing that can’t fall down.

So one day, his landlady, just to please him, gave him a can of the fruit to take to school with him the next day.

In the quiet hours of the night, while Frampton was dreaming of next day’s lunch, the maids cautiously enter the dining room with a can of toma‘ocs, remove the wrapper from the peaches, and place it on the tomatoes.

XIII Carnegie Institute of Technology Teachers Courses for Men ANEW and attractive field for graduates of industrial schools and for men already engaged in public school work is that offered by the increasing demand for men equipped to teach in trade schools, in technical high schools, in manual training schools, and in the apprenticeship courses in the manufacturing and building industries. In the Pittsburgh district, especially, the growing interest in this department of educational work is resulting in the addition of industrial courses to the public school system, and positions await candidates who are properly trained for this service. Owing to this ever increasing demand and to the insufficient supply of men qualified to fill the new posts which are constantly being created, the salaries paid to industrial teachers have risen rapidly until at the present day the average pay of efficient teachers in industrial schools is higher than that of those who enter the regular academic branches. A new course for the training of industrial teachers was recently added to the curriculum of the School of Applied Industries to meet the above demand. Graduates of this School are eligible for admission to this course, provided, in the opinion of the Dean, they have the natural aptitude necessary for the profession of teaching. Other applicants for admission should have graduated from a high school or other preparatory school of the approved tyi c, preferably a manual training or technical high school. Public school teachers and others dtsiring specialized work along certain definite lines are admitted as special students. The regular course is two years in length, and the work is scheduled not only for day students, but also in the evening for those men who wish to prepare for future teaching without being obliged to give up their present day employment. “The most serious of these (referring to certain difficulties encountered by the Industrial Schools) is the matter of securing institutions really qualified to teach trades or vocations. A closer watch must be kept for intelligent and ambitious young skilled workers who, by the offer of sufficiently tempting salaries, may l c persuaded to add pedagogical training to their present equipment, and thus fit themselves for teachers’ positions. In general, however, the problem of securing properly equipped teachers is felt to be an acute one.”—From the last Report of the United States Commission of Labor on Industrial Education.
