We have tried to picture those days, as well as pen can ever do, so that this year’s Thistle may continue to live, when other years have come and gone. To you who have had this work to do in other years, we wish to say that more deeply than ever before, we appreciate your efforts; and to you who are yet to undertake it, we extend our most sincere wishes for success. 326577 The Carnegie Institute Board of Trustees W.

SCHOOL SCENES GREETINGS FROM OUR FOUNDER Frank H. Kaaren, Esq., 30th January 1913 Editor in Chief, The Thistle, Carnegie Institute of Technology, PITTSBURGH, PA. Dear Sir From every quarter I hear encomiums bostowed upon the Institute of Technology, its otatiotico are indeed surprising especially the amounts earned by students who labor all day and educate themselves at nite. The Margaret Morrison School also continues its notable progress and is excelled by none - such the uniform testimony I hear. Hone of our efforts to improve conditions havo yielded core fruitful harvests. Long may Pittsburgh remain distinguished an the home of the Institute. With cordial thanks and congratulations, in which Mrs Carnegie Joins. Always your deoply Indebted friend. To “The Thistle” IT is a privilege which I esteem highly to be permitted to write a few lines for The Thistle. The most notable event of the year was the opening of the School of Applied Design. This new building has fulfilled the expectations of us all. Its every part bears the imprint of the love and genius of its architect and patron. Mr. Hornbostel. Before this annual is printed. Machinery Hall, enlarged and developed, will be enclosed in steel, granite and brick. The Muddy Frail still furnishes a theme because Morewood Avenue remains closed. Ere the summer is passed we hope the good City of Pittsburgh will provide sidewalks on Woodlawn Avenue. Student government, through a Senate, has finally been established in three of the four schools. I his has been a year in which we have “smashed” some records: the heaviest registration in our history; the largest faculty; a constantly improving health record; evidence of the growth of student spirit and a victory to close the football season. Surely these are items which interest us all. and if we make as much progress in the next three years as we have in the past five, the Juniors who issue this THISTLE will scarcely recognize their Aha Mater when they have been graduated five years. If the United States Government establishes its Bureau of Mines on the Magee site, adjoining the Carnegie Institute of I echnology, it should bring about an association between that Bureau and our institution which will be for our mutual advantage and give students an unexcelled opportunity in the fields of mining, metallurgy and mineral technology. I wish a THISTLE could be placed in the home of every student to constantly remind him that the Institute has many more activities than can be felt or appreciated by any individual in a single class. Sincerely your friend, Arthur Arton Hamerschlac. rebruary 26. 1913. WHEN the students return to the Institute next September, more improvements will be noted in its physical appearance than have marked any previous six months in its history. Machinery Hall will be completed, containing the power plant in the basement, the laboratories, class-rooms and offices of the electrical engineering department in the north half of the building, those of the mechanical department in the south half, and space for the power machinery operation course of the School of Applied Industries. The present center section of the Design Building will be done, and plans for the two wings are being studied. A 40 x 100 ft. one-story temporary structure for an hydraulic laboratory will be up, attached to the west end of the Science Building. The city budget contains an appropriation for sidewalk improvements in the road through the campus, and the quadrangle will be further improved by the elimination of the temporary affair that has been used as a restaurant, if room can be found for it in Machinery Hall. In addition to the above construction work, the Building Bureau is now engaged on plans for a tower-shaped Central Building, to house a lunch-room and students’ club-room in the basement, administration offices on the first, second and third floors, accommodations for a teachers’ college on the fourth and fifth floors, faculty rooms on the sixth floor, and a small observatory on the roof. Plans arc also being studied for a new M. M. C. S. building to be erected to the rear of the present building, forming an interior court facing the athletic field. A gymnasium, locker-rooms and a swimming pool would come under the terrace. When these projects are completed the Institute will have made a long step forward in its architectural attractiveness.

Have you not heard of the newest department of lire Institute, the School of Applied Design? Well may we hold a pageant to herald our new building, the home of art instruction in this smoky city. Nay. even more! The citadel of art for miles around. Spectators? Indeed there were. From everywhere they came in droves to view the spectacle. Real nobility was present, stamping up and down the campus in worried frenzy for a better view. Aye. splendid it was in every sense of the word. Not a temporary thing, of limited duration, but to last for all eternity. Hereafter shall we hear it talked of. resurrected when all other show and tinsel are forgotten. I-ong live the memory of the pageant, and long life to the school that it presages. WHAT an array of color! Such gorgeous splendor! What unrestrained magnificence! The dusky Egyptian, the subtle Greek, the haughty Roman -all were there. Even Adam and his gentle Eve walked side by side with bronzed Hindus and sober Saracens. Pardon a smile, when one thinks of spindle-shanked architects clad in lavender tights, loosely dangling about their legs like half-inflated balloons. Tis also quite a pleasant memory to think of the coy and demure—the gentle decorators, as flounced and ruifled ladies of the court. And those latter-day geniuses. the illustrators—‘ti not with regret that we recall the vision of them, with kingly heads arrayed in tinsel, and with much-bedecked and embroidered doublets. Oh! the lady painters, did you say? Ahem! Yes. they were there with charming color scheme of marvelous FACULTY-SCHOOL OF APPLIED DESIGN School of Applied Design Faculty Henry Hornbostel, Ph. B. C.

Wilson Dan Kornblum History of the Design School HARDLY before the ’12 I histle had gone to press, Mr. Hewlett accepted the position of Dean of the School of Design and Mr. McGoodwin became Professor of Architecture, the change being made because Mr. McGoodwin had rather spend his time in his chosen profession, drawing and working among the boys, than in managing the increasing complex organization of the school. Commencement came and for the first time degrees were granted, thus recognizing the students of Design as of college rank, a position they have long held, although they have failed to be honored with a degree because of certain statutory regulations of the state. Summer holidays passed in the pursuit of pleasure, work and knowledge. 1 he happy vacation days soon passed, leaving us ready for another year of strenuous effort. The new school year found us congratulating ourselves and patting ourselves on the back, so to speak, because we were moving into that splendid new structure which was to be our future abode, and which promises to be the most noted Fine Arts School in America. Those were strenuous days for Hughie, but not for us. While he was tugging at the huge drawing board lockers we enjoyed ourselves at the theaters and other places of amusement. We took up our work in unfinished class-rooms in the din and noise of hammer and saw. The Architects had an opportunity to plan and design magnificent edifices and at the same time inspect the actual execution of design. The Juniors had a house-warming with the entire Design School as their guests, and upon this occasion Mr. Hornbostel was crowned King of the Revels. Our Patron always makes a special trip from New York when a big stunt is pulled off. Immediately after Christmas, doleful, hideous and discordant sounds began to issue forth from certain parts of the building, and upon investigation it was found that these sounds were proceeding from the new School of Music. This new department took us by surprise. We did not know they were coming until they were here. Although we are not acquainted with many of them, we arc glad they are here, and hope that they will form an indispensable part of the School of Applied Design. At present Dan Kornblum still blows his auto horn; Scotty Harold, in a ministering spirit, keeps the sleepy night students awake; Red Jones still casts his shimmering sunbeams in our midst; many have achieved some measure of success and distinction and each has paid some small tribute to C. I. T., leaving us all happy and filled with the hope that the Design School will prove to be the greatest institution of its kind in the country. Seniors School of Applied Design J. HORTON BARBER.

Andrews, President G. E. Martz, Pice-President W. H. Kirchenbauer, Treasnlarp School of Applied Design JUNIORS History WHEN September 25, 1912, witnessed the gathering of the clans at Carnegie, less than a score rallied to the standard of Applied Design, 1914. Hardly half the “old guard.” who, during the successive years of Plebe opposition and Sophomore imposition, stood valiantly together, a force—in numbers largely. These years, safely and honorably traversed, gave way before a third, during which the value of numbers likewise gave place to eager enthusiasm, loyalty and good fellowship in establishing us a unified organization of importance. Earnest desire to welcome the Plebes and a realization of the excellent opportunities for a novel shindig that the draughting room provided, led us to arrange for December sixth, a smoker, such as has not an equal in all the illuminating and checkered Design School annals. The imported “movies” and the pageantry attendant upon Mr. Horn-bostcl’s presentation of the Beaux Arts Society’s medals marked the beginning of a very different sort of school celebration of which novelty is the keynote. And this, our Junior year, is the Prom year, and once more we outdistanced our predecessors. Lights never were brighter, music never gayer nor feminine smiles lovelier than on that night of February the twenty-eighth. There can be no previous experience in Junior Proms, yet our one and only was an event to which we attach no regrets and only the pleasantest memories of satisfaction. In our work, we have been handicapped, as it were, by a new building. We have perhaps spent too much time in the survey of every added stone and color. Yet our interest in a building that will finally offer every advantage of complete equipment, is but an expression of student gratitude, and a fortunate bit of practical assimilation. We progress, with the one hope that the future holds for us a store of medals and mentions, to make Applied Design ’14 live in memory and merit far beyond that all-too-speedily approaching year. JUNIORS—SCHOOL OF APPLIED DESIGN The Design School Housewarming UNDER the direction of the Junior Class, a rousing house-warming followed the removal of the School of Applied Design into the new Fine Arts building. Friday evening, December 6, 1912, all the humorous spirit of Design reigned supreme. In the Architectural drafting room, the Design school, their friends and the faculty gathered for this event. To commence the program, the Juniors crowned Mr. Hornbostcl, King of the Revels. After accepting the crown and purple robe with due pomp and ceremony, he responded to these honors with a speech of acceptance. Songs and stories, boxing bouts and moving pictures, with unrestrained liberty to kid the movies, followed in quick succession. In conclusion came the cats and a torch-light pee-rade, in which every one took part. 1 hus ended another pleasant bit of Design history.

As out of chaos eventually doth come order, so did we, the Night School of Applied Design, valiantly emerge from the scramble and confusion of moving into our commodious and palatial new building with the realization of better and more inspiring working conditions, also a keener appreciation of our possibilities and impossibilities. After many fruitless attempts, a few energetic students finally attracted attention enough to succeed in holding a meeting for the election of officers. This meeting was outclassed by the stirring Bull Moose convention in attendance only. Horrors! How we would shock you (also James the First). We actually smoked two boxes of cigarettes, and, don’t let me forget to add, a couple of stogies (for did not Boyer set them up?). Be that as it may, we finally accomplished our end (id est) to elect those cussed officers, such as they are. We, the architects, have with us again, Mr. Campbell, late of gay Parce, and he is unrecognizable except for his Critique Applatissanle. The enrollment of the Illustrating and Decorating departments has been increased three-fold and the faculty is reinforced by the annexation of Mr. Holmes. And be it said in finale that we do thusly pursue the uneven tenor of our artistic existence and still maintain our standing as human curiosities. SOPHOMORES SCHOOL OF APPLIED DESIGN School of Applied Design SOPHOMORE CLASS Officers. Fremont E. Davis, President John B. Gay, Vice-President Clayton J. Lappley, Secretary-T rcasurer Jas. W. Phillips, Class Historian School of Applied Design History of Sophomores IN the School of Applied Design, the sophomore year is usually a romantic period of a man’s school career, because he can not only take an amusing glance backward upon his frivolous plcbe year, but with seriousness and appreciation look forward to the realization of the work done by the upper classmen and comprehend his own future toils and struggles. We have arrived at this period and would like to give a retrospect of last year’s comedy of errors and then glance into our imaginary brilliant future, but unfortunately we must confine ourselves to the matter-of-fact present. During our first year we possessed that sign of promise and maturity which our scarlet skull caps indicated, while as Sophomores our example to the incoming Plebes has been just as inspiring as is usually the case in this station of a class career. Who can forget the intimate brothcrliness we displayed when we met new arrivals—relieved them of their variegated hosiery and cravats, and warned them with all solemnity to wear a more somber hue. Long will we remember the Plebe’s first pee-rade, when the Design, Science and Industry Plebes marched toward East Liberty, turned completely inside out, their nether garments exposed to the gaze of the multitude and their spare calves kissed by every gentle breeze and stray canine. And, too. the new innovation—the Design barber shop, where Plebes got a free hair-cut. But these pleasant moments are only bits of pastime or discipline among many hours of work in the big draughting room; mingled with Seniors, Juniors and Plebes, the members of the class camp on their drawing boards. I he results of the first Class B” charette were highly encouraging, practically every man making a mention in the judgment of the Society dcs Beaux Arts Architects, New York. Our second year has strengthened our loyalty to Carnegie, our friendships have become more firmly cemented and the leadership of the upper classes has become more thoroughly appreciated. Now in conclusion: We, as a class, pay our tribute to our distinguished h acuity, wish good fellowship between the “Sophs and the Plebes, and say with reverence, “Long live the spirit of Carnegie.” School of Applied Design PLEBE CLASS Officers Stanley P. Stewart, President Louis M. Weld, Vice-President T. Maxwell Stonerod, Secretary Russell S. Simpson, T reasurcr Carl C. Manchester, Historian and Tartan Representative Bernard P. Spigcl, Sergeanl-al-A rms F’LEBES -SCHOOL OF APPLIED DF.SICN Plebe Architects WHA I ho! 1 he Freshmen! Thus was our arrival announced. With shouts of derision and contempt the Sophomores assailed us. After repeating the oath of allegiance and promising to wear our red skull patches we were let alone and so proceeded to get acquainted. Our first venture was on Field Day. In this we certainly did our noble best and so not a few of the ribbons found their way to the Palace of Art. (Draughting Room.) Our next stunt was our good will smoker to the upperclassmen, and we’re sure they will vouch for us as royal entertainers and feeders. At this time we had an opportunity to display some of the entertaining powers within our class. Our supreme effort, however, was our banquet. (May there be more.) Not only did we, ourselves, enjoy it, but most of the faculty also seemed to be partial to the viands of the Fort Pitt. The slight misunderstanding that arose at Thanksgiving we settled as only true sons of Carnegie could. We kept up Tradition, although the only ones in the school to do so. This is only the first chapter of the history of the Architects ’ I 6. The three following will be published each year, so bear in mind and keep your eye on us.

Historian History THIS year the Plebe Decorators and Illustrators of I ech were organized for the first time in the history of the universe. We are getting too big to adorn the cradle any longer, and wc feel confident enough to stand on our legs. At the first we had a case of red caps, but this we survived without a scar. Wc have acquired the enormous number of thirty-nine teeth, and if you call between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. you can certainly hear us talk. True, wc have not yet gained full use of our hands, but our brains and eyes have really made astonishing progress. But fear not. our infant days are being carefully watched over by Dr. Holmes and his learned assistants. From the day of our birth on September 24, 1912, to the present date, we have grown steadily, until now our fatherly superiors allow us to wear a clever and attractive green frock (if we so desire). We have now passed the stage where we first begin to notice things and the fear of the Boogie Men (Sophs) has left us. Yes. now we are firmly established in the Tech family, which has become accustomed to our presence and no longer gives us such close attention. Wc have a good healthy start. Watch us grow. Charette THE sun without rays, the spring without flowers, the architect without his charette. Mystic word! As the nouveau slinks timidly into the untraveled paths of art, these sacred syllables he hears, uttered with curses, chortled with glee, repeated with apathy, each to his humor. On either hand he sees the cultured A” man enshrouded by a cloud of inspiration, laboring feverishly on the illimitable expanses of paper. Evolving masterpieces! The great day approaches, speed is at a premium, labor is priceless. I he floor is littered with debris; yea, the very dust speaks French. Charette, esquiesse, rendu, project, ad infinitum. I he dark streak down the center of the room is Mr. Ferrand criticising. That screaming orgy of green and yellow is Mr. Campbell rendering counter to the iridescences of Mr. Schwab. Mr. Mc-Goodwin upholds the hands of this or that luckless wight, adjusting his axes. In short, the faculty is there. Well might the door be blazoned: “All hope abandon, ye who enter here.” Woe to him who steps inside. Ere his foot has trod the boards, he finds himself—pencil, pen. rubber in hand—laboring on some backward project. Pandemonium reigns around him. Songs the least elegant, jokes the most broad, throughout it all the ceaseless whisper of the pens. He who thus enthralls himself is howled at, cursed, corrected, hurried by his indignant and merciless boss. With the rapidity of thought, he must rear edifices of dreams, beautiful, fantastic, impracticable. Buildings that will not build, houses that will not house. N’importe. Art is king and brooks no rival. The harsh voice of practice is drowned in the chanslons of theory. France and Italy tread the fair features of America. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! The hours, minutes, seconds arc precious. “There’s a blot! Ho, Varlets! a blotter! P. D. Q.’ “Erase this! Where’s my compass?” “What the-------- is the matter with my nigger?” “Hi, there! Bring me . . . fifteen minutes . . . ink . . . eleven . . . alright. Lights out in fifteen minutes.” “Rush in the drawings. Here, where’s your plan?” “Alright.” “Charette.” OVT OW.THE.

And they departed to their homes, each in his own way, and did sojourn there while the summer was high. . Chapter IV. 1. And it came to pass, on the twenty-fifth of September, that they did return to Carnegie I ech and were gathered together for the fourth time. 2. And when each had deposited in the Bursar s hands such moneys as his labor had earned in the heat of summer, they were named Seniors, the same signifying Con- querors. 3. Now they did gather themselves in a company and did count noses; and lo, they were but sixty-eight, for the journey had been hard and many had fallen by the wayside. 4. And when they were numbered, they cast about for a leader, desiring one in whom to place their trust, that he should be honored among men. 5. And these virtues were required: that he be wise with the wisdom of serpents; that he be brave, to beard the Dean in his inmost Sanctuary; that he be studious, that the Faculty overthrow him not; and that he find favor with his fellows—and the last is the greatest of these. 6. Now were the Seniors hard put to it, for many were in their midst who could qualify; but after long consideration they did make a choice, and this was their chosen leader: Charles M. Crawford. 7. And, lest he be beset with innumerable duties, they did choose other officers than president; and lo. these were the chosen: 8. Albert W. Simpson, Vice-President; Carl M. Stewart, Secretary-Treasurer; and William Moorehead, Athletic Representative. 9. Now the day of the battle between the Scphs and the lowly Plehcs drew nigh, and the Seniors, as the custom is, did stand guard that all should be right. 10. And when Night had drawn its veil over the valley, a truce was declared, and the Seniors arranged a mighty Carnival, whereat all did mingle and Good Fellowship did reign, so that nothing so good had been enjoyed before. I I. Then it came to pass that the class of 1913 did realize their abilities and did appreciate their responsibilities. 12. And they did adopt an Honor System which was an innovation in the School, and thus it was arranged: I 3. They did appoint a council of their own members to whom was given the right to judge cases of Student Discipline in the Senior class and to administer justice in all such cases regarding Senior honor and conduct as had hitherto been judged by the Faculty. I 4. As the days did pass, the Seniors said unto themselves. Let us gather together occasionally that we may be as brothers; for, lo, we separate in a short time and the halls of Carnegie will shelter us no more; neither will we enter the Beanery. 15. It is not meet that we should go forth as strangers. Let us. therefore, lay aside our labors and join with each other around a festal board, for, it is written, 16. If thou shouldst break bread with a friend, then is he thy brother, indeed, and he may lend you a jitney. 1 7. And they did feast, and all was as has been said. 18. Now, as the weeks went by, lo, the dread Mid-Years came upon the land, and great was the tribulation for a fortnight. 19. When the second semester had come, sixty-six remained of the faithful, two having withdrawn early in the year. 20. But two of these sixty-six should not be numbered with the others, having taken unto themselves wives, to the number of one each. 2 1. Then each did gird his loins and did do mighty battle, that, when Commencement should come, he should not be found unready. 22. So, watching and working, they wait for the day on which they shall present themselves in the presence of the most high Director, and shall receive, each to himself, a Sheepskin and a Degree, which shall be his Talisman when he has left Carnegie. ■C3 Day Seniors WILLIAM L.

Chair,ran Social Committee Historian Night Science FIFTH YEAR CLASS History IT is almost impossible to realize that half a decade has passed since our first registration day. It seems only a few short months since we began our studies at l ech. But now that we have attained the proud position of expectant graduates, it affords us no small pleasure to contemplate our triumph over the many difficulties with which we have been confronted. There is not much to be said in regard to the social side of our class activities. We started out well enough; in the first two years there were numerous banquets and smokers. Since that time there has been but one banquet and one theater party to our credit. It has been recorded by former class historians how our original number of eighty-seven dwindled until, of these but four—the Veterans of the Night Science Class of 191 3—remain. Others came to join our ranks in later years, of whom seven are still with us. Hie present status of our class is: four Electricals, three Mechanicals, three Civils, and one Chemical. It would be less than just to say that the history of our class is made up entirely of the records of its present members. Almost without exception the original eighty-seven were as fine and determined a lot of students as could be found. Obstacles too great to be overcome forced many from their regular standing. Many cf these dauntlessly took up their work with other classes. Others, finding the night work too strenuous, discontinued. As for the rest of us who have found it possible to continue without interruption, we arc afforded a mighty satisfaction in the knowledge that our labors have been amply rewarded. We are grateful to those who have helped us along the hard paths to a higher education, and have taught us what is worth more than mere book knowledge—confidence in ourselves. We leave this institution grateful to our Alma Mater and to her founder for the opportunities meted out to us, and may a kind Providence smile benignly on dear old Carnegie Tech and upon those in whose hands and hearts her destiny is intrusted.

Secretary Tartan Representative Thistle Representatives Fourth Year Night Science Class History OUR pursuit of knowledge of the various phases of engineering dates from October, nineteen hundred and nine. Our honest effort and earnest endeavor have been rewarded, and we now find ourselves in the responsible and exalted position of Near Seniors.” The long, arduous path to scientific knowledge has perhaps shortened considerably the radius of the sphere wherein we exist; yet several of our number have found sufficient time to successfully embark on the sea of matrimony. Our motto we shall omit. We revere the memory of the deceased and decline to add to the burden which night students have already heaped upon the brow of the immortal Longfellow. It is indeed deplorable that of those who might have provided us with a suitable epigram, he alone seems to have recognized the superiority of nocturnal activity. Our class activities have consisted chiefly of mental gymnastics in the class-room or laboratory. In this respect we decline to doff our cranial adornment to any of our predecessors. We are the last word in Fourth Year proficiency. Socially, however, we are a negative collection. We took a passing interest in the Night Science Smoker, and assisted, in a dilatory way (we say this advisedly), in the publication which shall contain this rhapsody. The social side of this latter activity consisted of maintaining a diffident demeanor toward the feminine representatives and occasionally smoking one of the business manager’s cigarettes. We have not enriched the coffers of fashionable hostelries by numerous banquets, nor have we seriously endangered the cardiac action of our M. M. sisters. We do not choose a circuitous route to school that we may bask in the sunshine of their eyes: we have not as yet employed a messenger to carry our “billets doux, and our tcrpsichorcan activities have been confined to a Tango on the bridge or a Spasmodic Glide on that exquisite road to Machinery Hall. That we recognize and acknowledge our deficiency will perhaps justify our desire to continue to exist. Our criticism is at least self-inflicted. I he Junior state of being is one of privilege and license. If you feel that in writing this history we have not infinitely exercised our right, be charitable—do not dispel our delusion.

I oday these things exist only as memories—eclipsed by the knowledge that we arc now Juniors. The blustering wintry scenes of our school life have melted into the balmy spring time. We entered upon our scholastic duties with the air of one who knows —and we do know; for have we not had the benefit of two years’ experience? Proud are we to say that in this—as in every other line of endeavor —we have had our usual success. November 16 witnessed our first social gathering this year. This was the occasion of our Smoker, and the true Bohemian spirit of good fellowship which prevailed, made that night one never to be forgotten. From that time we were interested in one thing above all others—the Prom. Led by our well-chosen committee, we bent our efforts toward making this the culmination cf our fondest dreams of social delight and elegance. Undeterred by the advance of the fearful mid-year exams, our plans went on until the eventful night of nights, February 28. For months before this day, the question was, “Are you going to the Prom?” But afterward it was unnecessary to ask, Were you there? I he glow of satisfaction, the look of self-sufficiency, plainly showed that we were there, and—but what more need be said? What matters it if we had to live on grass for weeks? The memory of that occasion and the pride in our social ability fully remunerates us for such trivial losses as two months’ board bills and many hours’ sleep. And now we go merrily on, making history for our school—and for the already famous class of 1914—and increasing in our love and esteem for Tech.

Tartan Representative R. W. Schuette ..... Athletic Representative Third Year Night Class WITH two years of terrible strain behind us, we returned to C. I. T. as the Third Year Night Class, invigorated by a healthy vacation, and determined to set a new record for Night School classes. We have attacked the curriculum laid out for us by the Faculty in such a way that, compared with our predecessors, we are racing in the modern automobile against the old-fashioned canal boat—this without the disastrous result related in the far-famed Hare and Tortoise contest. We have, moreover, demonstrated that a Night Class cannot only be serious and studious, but that they can be sociable withal. This article, however, is not a detailed news item, but is merely an abstract to inform the unacquainted of the personnel and enterprise of this remarkable class. The motto of the class, adopted in its infancy, still remains to urge the men on to greater things. Motto “The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upwards in the night. Fired with this vim-inspiring slogan, we have set about our work with resolution of purpose such as has never been displayed by night students heretofore. 1 he result is shown in the small percentage of our original enrollment which has fallen by the wayside. This same enthusiasm has marked with success the social enterprises of the class. Since last year, the class has held one banquet, one trip to Camp Louise Carnegie, two stag dinners, a swimming party, and has also organized and held the first Annual Night Science Smoker. Each of these has been attended by a representative group of students. The class frankly admits that its stars are still in their ascendency and, therefore, does not presume to suppose that the public has as yet been dazzled by their brilliancy, but at this time they deem it advisable to acquaint the common people with these stellar embryos in order that smoked glasses may be available for the use of all when they start to shine.

Rauh Historian SOPHOMORES SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE Day Science CLASS OF 1915 History ASSUMING that our good friend Bill Shakespeare is correct in saying that all the World’s a stage where every man must play a part, let us draw aside the curtain and gaze upon the brilliant spectacle of the Passing Show of the Class of 1915. There is a prelude to the play, during which its members were preparing to take their parts in the present performance as Sophomores. Scene I occurs in Schenley Park, in the vicinity of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, on the morning of September 23, 1912. A number of children are seen advancing toward the schools. As they approach the buildings, a mob of young men suddenly appear from the nooks and corners to accost the forlorn creatures—who arc, indeed, remarkable beings. hey are freshmen. One by one they are led to the green placards posted by their Noble Overseers, and with bared leg and uplifted arm arc compelled to read aloud the Ten Demandmcnts. Lest the audience be convulsed with laughter at the continuance of these recitations, the curtain is drawn before any harm results. Scene 2 takes place in Room 209 of the Science Building, the following day. There, in stately array, are met around the council table the solons of the 1915 class. They have convened to elect their officers. Discord and ill-feeling are unknown, harmony and friendship prevail. Rowland Wilson is elected leader, with a competent body of officers to assist him. Scene 3 is staged on the Athletic Field, Friday of the same week. The brain and brawn of the sturdy Sophs are pitted against that of the plucky Freshmen. A fierce conflict is waged, the Freshmen emerging victors. The Sophomores are defeated, but not conquered. A period of three months elapses between Scenes 3 and 4. The latter represents the banquet room of the Hotel Henry on the evening of December 4. The occasion was auspicious and class spirit reigned supreme. Again two months intervene. Scene 5 shows the campus. Numerous members of 1915 rollicking and capering on the greensward. They have successfully weathered the storm of mid-years.

Carraher .... Historian Applied Science NIGHT CLASS OF 1916 History TWILIGHT had already set in when the good ship “! 9 16 NI IF ’ dropped anchor in “APPLIED SCIENCE” harbor, October 7, 1912. For the greater number on board it meant a return trip to their “TREASURE ISLAND, TECH,” where the previous year had received their C’s, FI’s and M’s (also P’s meaning perfect and F’s meaning fine). The asset thus returned to TECH was composed of intelligent and upright young men. Men whose diligence had been proven with work by day and study by night. Their stick-to-itivcncss, however, was to be tried even more severely than the previous year, and the decrease in their number shows that a few were found wanting. 1 he ravages of ANALYTICS and MECHANICS carried off a few victims; some were ELECTROCUTED, while some were even claimed to have succumbed to HEAT. To successfully combat similar trials in the future, it was necessary to have a concerted movement, so that real college spirit was put into motion and, with the assistance of an eleventh-hour steam roller. H. L. McCollum was elected chief executive, with J. R. Scott vice-president and C. F. Houlihan secretary and treasurer. The appearance of the class, though slightly cosmopolitan, was similar to all other classes with a few exceptions. As a rule, all countenances bore the same look of good-fellowship, while the few exceptions bore in addition a slight hair growth on the upper lip. I hese thoughtful young men who returned on the good ship 1915 Nil E” lent a helping hand toward broadening general acquaintanceship by cordially inviting this “NIGHT CLASS OF SWEET ’16” to the very successful annual night class smoker at the Schenley. No less successful was ’ 16’s second annual banquet, with its closing toasts to the past and to the ’14. ’15 and '16 1 histles, which will tell how the “NIGHT CLASS OF 1916“ returned each year to their ALMA MA 1 ER, and how they finally sailed away on the good ship 1916 NITE to fame and success.

Our life the first few days was a precarious existence, due to the successful efforts of the Sophs to instruct us thoroughly in the traditions of our school. Great, green, glaring posters everywhere informed us as to the status of a Plebe. Various militant methods were employed, which soon created in us the proper spirit. I he class rushes, however, gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our superiority over the Sophs. 1916 was victorious in the relay race and in baseball, losing the wrestling matches and Indian ball. On the evening of the Fall Festival all strife was ended with the formal “burying of the hatchet in the lurid light of the huge bonfire. Then came the monotonous plugging, uninterrupted, save by an occasional cap or necktie raid, until a smoker was given in honor of the Sophomore class. Here festivi- ties and good-fellowship reigned, leaving many pleasant memories of our first year at 1 cell. Our ambition is to make the class of 1916 live in history and by so doing add glory and honor to our Alma Mater. ■H FIRST YEAR NIGHT-SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE First Year Night Science I. T. Hirsh . . • President T. A. Hughes . • • Secretary j 3. Norris . . • Tartan Representative First Year Night Science History THE most serious difficulty in speaking of a first-year class, and especially a first-year night class, is that, outside of the School catalogue, There ain’t no such thing. Our late alchemetical lecturer often addressed us as class” and the present Phlogis-tian expounder sometimes goes as far as to call us gentlemen.” Far be it that we disagree with either. In our opinion, as embryo chemists, we arc hardly more than a mechanical mixture, although some of us who were in Prep last year have been glad to notice some evidence of crystallization, here and there little groups of atoms gathering together—and following out this chemical simile a step further, we hope that by the time we matriculate as second-year night class we shall be a true chemical compound, each atom bound by unseen ties to one another. Speaking in mathematical terms, it is probable that to the new student the individual instructor with whom he comes in contact subtends a larger angle than does the School as a whole. This is so, naturally, because he gets closer to his instructor, and as students of math we all know that the closer an object is to the vertex, the greater the angle it subtends. Of course, we do not mean to insinuate that any of our profs are not sufficiently capable of holding open an angle of any magnitude whatsoever, probably as much as 180 deg. when you get right up against them; but as time goes on we shall find the class—Our Class—and beyond that. The School—Our School—becoming more and more a part of us and we of it. Our class entered in October, 1912, with a membership of 135. At an inventory after the January clearance we had but 80 in stock, and some of us looked shopworn at that. As to the personnel of our class, there is not much to say. We are just an average lot; there are no bright and shining lights (excepting, perhaps, the light that is reflected from the shining dome of our honored president) ; we are mostly hard workers, very much in earnest about acquiring a technical education; and we are deeply grateful to the Faculty, to the Director, and last, but not least, to Mr. Carnegie, for the opportunity given us of acquiring a technical training, which may be of material benefit to us. but, beyond that, the higher and broader vision, which, as the Director pointed out to us in his talk, is the true end of all education. If aught obstruct thy cause, yet stand not still. But wind about until thou hast topped the hill.

History of the Class of 1913 IN order lo understand the history of the class of 1913, we must sub-divide our topic into four distinct epochs or periods of development:—the Era of Insignificance, the Era of Progression, the Era of Apologies and the Era of Substitution. In the first, or Era of Insignificance, dating from September, 1909, to June. 1910, we started our career decked in sober green ribbons, and upon contemplation of one another, discovered that we had royalty among us. A King was journeying with us, and in his train, a Knight, a Baron and a Marquis. For a time “Divine Right flourished, but being also imbued with a true spirit of democracy, we soon threw off the yoke, and in the Bloodless Revolution of October, 1909, we overthrew the monarchy, deposed the King, established a republic, and placed Anne Crawford in the Presidential chair. All this being settled, and peace once more restored, we were treated with the annual Plebe reception. With true heroism did we walk down two parlors full of receiving line, to obtain the much-needed refreshment beyond. And so the first year passed slowly by, marred only by one event—the unusual disappearance of a cake—a cake and an accompanying written tribute of affection, which had been placed on the desk of one of our beloved faculty. It was discovered that the cake had been ealen, and the tribute placed in the waste basket. We trust that the small maiden with the large appetite has repented, lest it blight her future career. One other thing of note must be touched upon before we finally leave this golden era. This is. that every few days or so in class, there would be a sudden “sh—sh, distinguished guests! And we would become mute and motionless unless the door opened, when we all rose sedately in tribute. In leaving the first stage, we pass to the Era of Progression. This dated from September 19, 1910. to June 8. 1911. During the Era, the dominant note was a feeling of relief that official wrath had passed over our heads. We usually managed barely to escape it. At Christmas time, many of cur number, unusually talented, won a place on the immortal tablet of fame by their parts in the Christmas play. We discovered that we were a most versatile class, and threw ourselves into singing, dancing and acting with as much enthusiasm as into cur actual studies in which we were always letter perfect. I his may truly be called the Augustan Age of the school. May Day. during this age, was an innovation. But we took it up with our usual determined spirit, put our two best dancers into everything, and then watched them proudly from the Assembly windows. I he third era, or Era of Apologies, lasted from September 22, 1911, to June 14, 1912. This was the winter of cur discontent made glorious summer by our abject apologies. And now the official wrath, that we had escaped heretofore, descended upon us. Somehow, we seemed not to have grown beyond the irresponsible attitude of our first year, and our Secretary had to have special stationery prepared for us to send in our dignified regrets at our unseemly conduct. Half of the time we were getting into trouble, the ether half we were apologizing out. In June we graduated with much gayety and rejoicing, received our diplomas, and separated, as we thought, for good. But, alas, it was not to be. I he fourth era, or Era of Substitution, dates from September 25, 1912, to June ?, 1913, and the query most often heard is, Oh, why did I come back? Why, indeed, did eighteen of us, when we might have been enjoying ourselves at home? hollowing precedent, we gave a tea for the Plcbcs. Later we held a dance in the school gymnasium. The dance was a memorable affair, the preparation for it being so strenuous, but the outcome was, on the whole, favorable. All these gay, giddy, frivolous affairs we have long since passed by. for we have now, most of us, become candidates for teachers’ certificates. Anyone who has ever been such a candidate can understand the awful responsibility that the term implies. One must not always lock prim and dignified, one must also feel it. And the substituting. It has become a common thing to eat breakfast by candle light at 6:30 a. m., catch the early train for the other end of the city, teach all morning, take five minutes to swallow a sandwich, catch a car to a suburb five miles the other way, teach all afternoon, go to a teachers’ meeting in town from 4:00 to 6:00, then go home for dinner at 7:00. And you have the whole evening to do your back work and get ready for the next day at school. Life is no longer one grand sweet song. At present the hope of the girls is to obtain the final reward of perseverance in marching proudly to the stage in June, garbed soberly in cap and gown, to be handed, along with our degrees, a teachers’ certificate! •fOipnis tioffuijof n ) A 1 : otoi',1 M.

TRI-SEiNIOR CLASS History THE realization that the end of a certain period in one’s life is near at hand never fails to cause retrospection. And so it is with the members of the Tri-Senior class, as the last year of school is drawing to a close. It seems hardly possible that we have almost completed our third year at Margaret Morrison School, but as this thought comes to us, we find ourselves living over in our minds, incidents which seemed of utmost importance at the time of their happening. We recall that first registration day. How strange we felt, not knowing a single soul. As usual, we were made to feel our inferiority by the upper classmen in many ways, forcibly, we assumed the simple coiffures of our childhood days, with the useful but distinctive green hair ribbon. In truth, we were treated roughly. In our Junior year we experienced the delights of revenge, and it was sweet, even though expressed toward the innocent and harmless Plebes. Then the Junior Prom, indelibly stamped in our memories. Always shall we remember the brilliance, the splendor of that gay occasion. The beginning of our last year was most unsettled. The change to a four-year course, which leads to a degree, resulted in storm and confusion. When this had passed over we found only fifteen remaining faithful to the old class. Although not a part of the present Junior Class, we have had a close feeling of kinship, which has remained with us, though separated in our work. And to those who in the future will be enrolled in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, we extend our best wishes for everything that is good. o Tri-Seniors Margaret Morrison Carnegie School SOPHIA ELIZABETH BAUR.

Second-Year Night Class Amaella Frey Lillian Mack Jennie Duffy Clara Diebold President Vice-President Secretary Treasurcr Margaret Morrison Carnegie School SECOND-YEAR NIGH T CLASS History IN the history of all night classes of M. M. C. S. none can boast of greater fame than the 1913 class, one of the largest classes of ambitious women that ever entered the portals of the school. You may ask, what have they done? Let us go back to the first year. Pleasures were few, we admit. Our Secretarials, the largest class, were all earnestly wrapped up in their studies, as were also the Dressmakers and the girls taking the course in Cooking. But, in spite of all this, at the end of the first year, these very same busy girls found a few moments spare time to devote to vaudeville. I he Kinder Symphony, which was so cleverly staged in the gymnasium on Thursday evening. May 8, 1912, was certainly a success. We must not forget to mention the monologue, “At the Opera.“ which was so well given by Miss Amaella Frey. If space and time permitted, we would like to describe them all at length, but we must go on. Thus ended our first year. September came again and once more these same ambitious women made their way back to M. M. C. S.. but the ranks were much smaller, especially in the class of Secretarials, which had dwindled down to but fifteen members. After a rather strenuous election of officers, we turned with a sigh of relief to the preparations for our class dance, which proved to be one of the largest and most brilliant affairs ever held by the girls of the night school. A great deal of credit must be given to the officers of our class, whose keen interest and tact have done much to keep things running smoothly and in harmony, and we wish them all success. And now, when we are about to bid good-bye to our Alma Mater, let us look back upon the pleasant memories and the many friends we have made in these past two short years, and let them always be an inspiration for many good things, friends and ideals in time to come.

S. JUNIORS History FOR the third time we write our class history. The first year, we started with braids and green ribbons, then the Seniors gave us a reception and we started out with the ambition to take their places of dignity and serenity when the proper time should come. The first year we were invited to the Christmas play, some of us took part in the Glee Club and the May Festival in the role of English and Irish dancers. Of course we studied—we had to. and we soon gained the reputation among the Faculty of thinking up questions that no person could answer. We also were the most successful Plebe class in the point of athletics, having defeated every other class team in the school in basket-ball. Our second year started out with chemical formulas, and we seem always to have them in close proximity even now. That year we gave a reception to the Plebes, after we had finished tormenting them, and won their good feeling again. Later, we gave a Junior dance, and still later that most important event of our social life in school, the Junior Prom. In this year we took a prominent part in the Glee Club Concert and a still more prominent part in the Dramatic Club’s presentation of “As You Like It.” Juniors again! This year we all started out as Seniors and then the majority changed their minds and they decided to become Juniors again. I hose degrees looked inviting, and to think that it will be but a year before we receive them! I he first event of this, our Junior year, was the Pee-rade on Tech Field, and this event marked the first time we girls had ever joined the boys in the manifestation of school spirit. We were not invited to the Plebe reception, but we are perfectly able to testify that the eats” were very good. From that first month to the Christmas holidays, when we took part in the Christmas play of Dickens’ “Christmas Carol,” we worked. After the holidays we gave a reception and tea to the Faculty and to the Tri-Seniors who have been our classmates for the first two years. Then sighs! Examination week! It was a case of “weep and we all weep with you, laugh and you laugh alone.” But that had soon passed by and we ended up in a blaze of glory with Junior Prom 2nd.” which was a greater success than ever before. And since then—work—more work—then some more work! M. M. C. S. Night Class of 1914. Grace L. Green • Lillian Mowry • Sara Manchester Louella McElhaney President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer M. M. C. S. FIRST YEAR NIGHT M. M. C. S. First Year Night Class ON an evening early in September, 1912, the night school of Margaret Morrison Carnegie entered upon a new era. Heretofore a certificate has been granted to a student after two years’ work at night in one subject. Many were desirous of a more extended course and the opportunity of working for credits. To meet this desire a four-year night course has been established, and we are the pioneers who have elected this course. 1 he girls of the cooking class under the skillful guidance of Miss Hanna have conquered many of the difficulties which have beset the path of the tyro. Of the sixteen members of the class, four have been graduated from previous night classes, and they still thirst for knowledge. Rome was not built in a day, and just as slowly but surely are the dressmaking and sewing sections laying the foundations for their future greatness. Their gowns will delight the eye, and, we hope, not deplete the purse. A Lace making and weaving are innovations which have met with great favor. Home Arts and Crafts arc replete with delightful possibilities, and this class has most enjoyable sessions, although some wearisome moments had to be spent in pounding clay before their pottery designs were realized. I he Sccretarials are most industrious and so quiet they cannot help but progress rapidly. Such a band of willing workers spared no time for frivolities. They did pause in their strenuous work long enough to elect officers, but the only ether gathering of the class was for the purpose of having a picture taken for 1 he I histle. M. M. C. S.

SOPHOMORE CLASS History WE, the class of 1915. feel honored to be the first Sophomore class in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School; but, oh, ye who will be Sophomores in the future, take heed! We have worked hard and long. Actually, the Muddy 1 rail is wearing through with the constant tread of Sophomores’ feet in their daily trips to the dear little reference room in the Carnegie Library where may be found mediaeval history from A to Z. Then, too, we had to go slumming, and dear me, the dreadful tales of woe that were reported from all sides. We thought Organic Chemistry was not so bad until we came to anides and amines—not anio, anias. aniat; that was hard enough to remember in its time—but we arc now becoming accustomed to the grind of learning long and uninteresting names. But in spite of all of these indications of an uneventful career of hard study, we have many pleasant memories to look back upon. The various social events are not to be forgotten; the hazing of the plebes, the organization of our class and all of the anticipations attendant upon the dance we thought we were going to have in the gymnasium but which did not materialize for reasons best known to the Sophomores. Our thoughts arc beginning to turn to the possibilities and pleasures of existence as Juniors, and when that time comes, we dare say that our various qualities as hard workers and consistent students will still continue to brightly distinguish our class. { M.

Let us alone!” came the cry of the hapless Plebes as they descended from the cars into the hands of the waiting Sophomores. and “Ow! Ouch! Let us alone.” has been the cry of the Plebes throughout the year. Forbidden to speak to the boys, snubbed by the Sophomores, barred from the lunch-room until the food grows cold, and deprived of nights on which to give our dances, these and more have been the miseries which we Plebes have endured. Enough to cast a Senior—pardon me, an Angel—into the lowliest depths of despair, isn’t it? But through it all we have maintained a dauntless spirit and cheerful, smiling faces. Even exams, fearful as they are, have not the power to obliterate our grins. Heaven is with us; the Sophs against us; but what care we? The fight has been long and unequal, but a victorious one. Our first encounter with the Sophs began on Thursday, the second day of school, and lasted until Friday evening. Commanded to appear on Thursday morning with our hair down in plaits, we scornfully endured the jeers and gibes of the snickering Sophomores. The rest we decline even to think about. The battle for food has been a long and fierce struggle. Barred from the “eats” until all evidence of warmth has departed from them, we wildly pace the marble halls while maddening odors of soup and baked beans assail the nostrils. Several times we have slipped in ahead of the tyrannical Sophs and twice have been ordered from the lunch-room for over-zealous aspirations, but for the most part we eat our daily manna cold. No wonder that most of us have gone on a strike and bring our luncheon with us. One of the most pleasant incidents of our Pleba year was the reception given by the Seniors in honor of Those poor little Plebes.” I hen we had our party, which was a huge success, and then our dance on March 7, after having been compelled to change our date three times. Our advisors also took pity upon our lonely existence and welcomed us with a tea. Altogether we’ve had a rather decent year of it. Things might have been worse. We are glad they weren’t. And so, farewell to poor hapless Plebes. Joyful welcome to the new snobbish Sophomores. And mere welcome still to the new generation of trembling Plebes on whom we hope to wreak our vengeance. M. M.

Every girl had to appear in school with her hair in five beautiful braids, each tied with a green ribbon of the most brilliant hue. If the Sophs had only made it three instead of five! Many attempted to escape, but. alas, we were met at the car by the Sophs and when they commanded us to pull down our hair, we calmly submitted and allowed them to tie it with green cheese cloth. Then each was ordered to put her right hand on the shoulder of the girl in front and to lift her left foot high. Thus we marched up the street with the Sophs beside us to give further commands. For two whole days we suffered—but just wait. Some day we will be Sophomores; but the sad part is the Sophomores will not be Sub-Plebes at the same time. Lessons? Oh, yes, we did have lessons that week. Math wasn’t very hard, since we worked in addition and subtraction—things we had studied before, but couldn’t remember where. We spent the first hour in the Physics room trying to unravel the mysteries of the metric system. English dealt with the old subject of nouns and pronouns. In cooking we found, much to our surprise, that we had not been washing dishes in the right order at all. When we had become somewhat settled, the Seniors kindly gave a reception for us, that we might become acquainted and feel more at home. How different are the Seniors from the Sophomores! Sub-Plebe Reception I Object: To become acquainted with the Faculty and upper classmen. Apparatus: Seniors, Plebes, Sub-Plebes. Faculty and Eats. Procedure: Rushed from the last recitation and surpassed the record for uqick dressing in crowded apartments, made in the gym dressing rooms. We proceeded to the Faculty parlors; stood in straight line near door until door opened; proceeded to enter; found Faculty in line. After gently touching fingers of each member, retired to seat and submitted to the extreme attentiveness of the upper classmen. Were very careful not to overeat, and graciously endured the many introductions. Thanking our hostesses, we left. Sources of Error: Inexperience. Result: Became acquainted with many upper classmen and were greatly impressed with the vast amount of knowledge which was lacking in Sub-Plebes. Exams were the next important event in the history of the Sub-Plebe class. The schedule was so arranged that we had only one and one-half days of work during examination week. Maybe we didn’t work during that time, though. Thus ended the first semester of our Sub-Plebe year. We hope some time to be able to witness, from the exalted positions of upper classmen, the joys and sorrows of another Sub-Plebe class and to do our part in making the year of years as enjoyable to them as it has been to us.

So comes the word, and the faithful scribe sits him down to write about—whose class? Mine, or yours? Ours. THE registration days found the class of ’13 flocking to the front, ready to perform their duties as Seniors. Three days having been spent for the performing of executive duties pertaining to the class day exercises and reception to the Freshmen, the program was perfectly arranged, and by Friday. September 27, at high noon the athletic field was in complete readiness. During the first week of scheduled periods, a meeting of the class was called and officers were elected to serve during the first semester. The Student Senate, Tech Mechanics’ Club and the Draftsmen’s Club were also promptly reorganized and elected officers. On the evening of December 10 the Freshmen tendered the Senior class a smoker at which the spirit of good fellowship prevailed. An elaborate program was arranged and the smoke rings were plentiful. One of the important features of the first semester was the class smoker and lunch which was held at the Fort Pitt Hotel and proved to be a very enjoyable evening, as the sons of l ech did sing and did cheer and the spirit of good fellowship ran high. Between the first and second semesters, we were very courteously escorted on our inspection visits by prominent members of the Faculty. Special mention is given to the courtesy with which the Macintosh Hemphill Company officials shewed us through their wonderful works and afterwards took us to the Fort Pitt Hotel, where we were given a delicious chicken dinner and treated with the greatest kindness, for which we were more than grateful to them. At the beginning of the second semester, the new class officers having been elected, a mass meeting was called by the president for the purpose of adopting the Constitution and By-Laws of the Student Senate and electing a new Student Senate. At this meeting a clubroom committee was elected to take care of our wonderful new clubroom, which was proposed and planned by the members of class ’ I 3. The class held their second smoker at the Fort Pitt Hotel, March 7, when a glorious evening of music, song and smoke rings were intermingled with the best spirit of good fellowship and many cheers that sounded like the thundering press of knights. The executive committee having made such a success as an entertainment and refreshment committee, was naturally turned to for a suggestion for the crowning success of the year. The result was that on the evening of March 16. sixty fellows sat at the Senior class banquet at the Fort Pitt Hotel. Of good cheer there was a plenty, and the singing! After one had been wrestling with hard mathematical problems for a weary seven months, what a pleasure it was to be able to give vent freely to one’s feelings! The class president filled the toastmaster’s chair, and prevailed upon various of the talent present to unburden themselves. The dinner was good and plentifully interspersed with good harmony of many kinds. A brief account such as this is cannot include a description of all the fun that went on among the different groups of fellows, nor docs it attempt to. Such things remain in the memories of those who were present. But, does any man need be reminded of what he did? Will not these few years always live for him as perhaps his happiest? Some day we must grow old, but no age can rob us of the right to come back to I cch, adding each time one more link to the chain which holds every one of us to C. I. T.; a chain of metal which, as it grows older, only grows the stronger; the links of which never tarnish, but grow brighter as the years go by. We looked forward to the day when our Senior year began, and now, with a rush, it is over. What have we left? A perfect host of memories. And it is only later on, when two or three are gathered together around the festive board, that all the innumerable little “do-you-remembers are recalled. Forget that you were this and he was that, remembering only that we arc all classmates and l ech men. Let us build for ourselves a Tech Fence and gather around it with our hearts still full of love for C. I. f. and the class of 1913. Day School—School of Applied Industries—Graduates NORMAN F.

Baker, Tartan Representative History REGISTRA 1 ION days found us flocking around ihe entrance of the registrar's office to perform our duly as noble middle men. It was on September 27 when we had the delightful pleasure of marching the Grccnics through a copious downpour of aqua pura. Despite the fact that it rained continuously, the grccnics were compelled to resolve the proclamation and sit on the large stone pillar and suck the nipple of the Tech Bottle” and rub their stomachs so as to digest the first injection of Tech spirit. The wonderful ability displayed by some of these shrimps was self-evident of the fact that they had been weaned on a bottle. Class officers were elected to serve during the first semester. During the fore part of the first semester we were tendered a smoker by the lower class-men. The evening was delightfully enjoyed, the program being interspersed with songs and speeches on the spirit of good fellowship. During the last week of the first semester the class officers were elected to serve during the second semester. After wrestling with the irregular schedule, which was made up for us during the week of inspection visits, we were too glad to resume our regular routine of work for the second semester. The last three months having passed away so quickly, we feel that our ambition far surpasses the history made by us in this short space of lime; however, the realization of the fact that we have succeeded in pulling ourselves in complete readiness to perform our duties as upner class-men next year is pleasant, and every one. to a man. feels proud that he is a member of the middle class (14).

On January 21 the first regular meeting was held, with the election of officers. Other meetings were postponed, as the schedule of the class made it almost impossible to assemble. The Draftsmen of the class held a dance which was a success in every respect. A smoker was given by the class, with almost the entire body present. Soon we will have completed the second lap of our four-year race, and the enthusiasm and Carnegie spirit shown at the start has always manifested itself on every occasion. It will continue to make itself felt in all the walks of life traversed by the members of the class of 1915. SCHOOL OF APPLIED INDUSTRIES. LOWER CLASS Industries Lower Class Officers W. Simpson J. Murphy L. Moore C. Orr Phil H. More President Pice-President Secretary-Treasurer Tarlan Representative Historian School of Applied Industries Lower Class THEY gathered together from the ends of the earth and were greeted warmly by the “courteous and gentle” Sophs. Many of the days that followed were passed in strife and struggle, as the noble Plebes strove to establish for themselves a foothold among their fellow classmates. But it was not until after the barbecue that the Industry Plebes “found” themselves and organized with Simpson at their head, flanked on cither side by Murphy and More. Not long after, it became noised about that the lowly and humble Plebes were going to give “smokes” to the Faculty and upper classmen. The rumor was followed by invitations, and the invitations were followed by one of the best, all-around, good time smokers ever held in the history of C. I. T. Everybody had his chance to get acquainted with the other fellow. Everybody took the chance, and each felt that a closer bond had, in some mysterious way, been established between all of us. Soon the number of days of our first semester in C. I. T. began to shorten and we all realized that a little studying now and then might be beneficial to our final standings. So each and every one retired to his study, vowing that as soon as the new semester began he would join with the rest of the crowd in making the Plcbe Class of Applied Industries a powerful factor in the school’s activities. WIRING BANQUET FIRST YEAR NIGHT CLASS. SCHOOL OF APPLIED INDUSTRIES School of Applied Industries First Yf.ar Night Class William Noble . Carroll F. Kenney Neil A. Wall . Carl T. Graves President Vice-President Secretary- T reasurer Historian History THE most singular thing that we have noticed about the Carnegie Institute of I echnology in our initial year as a member of its student body—and presume that it is a feeling which the “freshies” of every big college have—is how the different things about the schools change in appearance, according to our views, after we have been students for awhile. At first things seem so big that they overawe the prospective student and he is almost afraid to talk for awhile after he is granted the honor of being allowed to become a student. From actual experience we have found that this feeling gradually wears off, and so by the end of the first semester we have all become well acclimated to the school’s atmosphere. We have quite a bunch in this year’s class and they arc all jolly good fellows. We have had lots of good social affairs, and had one dandy big smoker. We have mixed the serious and frivolous pretty well in our school life so far, and can promise that if we have all our members next year we will certainly show our fellow students a few things about the good times a night student can mix with his studies. We are full of confidence in ourselves and in the schools, and hope that we shall spend the rest of our years to as good advantage as we have spent the past one—our first year as students of the Carnegie Institute of Technology.

Sullivan President Vice-President SecretaryTreasurer Tartan Representative History THE purpose of this class is to provide preparation for entrance to the School of Applied Science. About one-fourth of the number who started with us will complete the course this year. Even though our time has been taken up almost completely by work in the daytime and by school on three evenings a week, we have been able to hold a number of enjoyable social affairs—smokers at the Schenley and the Beanery. In graduating from this school we realize only the beginning of our school life—we look forward to the future when we shall become still more closely bound to Carnegie Tech.

HECK The Applied Industries Alumni Association MUCH enthusiasm was displayed at the annual banquet of the Industries Alumni Association which was held at the Hotel Schcnlcy, June 19, 1912. We were honored with an address by Sir Alfred East, the renowned artist. Director Hamerschlag, and our never failing Dean Connellcy was, as usual, the toastmaster of the evening. Among the business taken up was the election of officers for the following year. The result of the ballot was: President, M. Leon Haas (’09) ; Vice-President, William Miller (’09). and O. S. Heck (’ll). Secretary and Treasurer. The Executive Committee was also elected, which consisted of the following men: E. J. Brown (’09. night). Chairman; N. Martin (’ll, day), Ralph Kinter (’ll, day). A committee composed of William Miller (’09, night) and Louis Haas (’ll, day) was appointed to revise the Constitution and By-Laws, which were efficiently carved out and after the usual procedure were adopted. The Executive Committee announced that they had made arrangements for a smoker, which proved to be a tremendous success, due partially to our good old German friend, Peter Muller, who surprised the members with his dexterity and juggling work. After a short talk by the Dean we again wended our way homeward. The quarterly meeting, which was held October 7, 1912, was well attended. At the following meeting the Executive Committee surprised the members by giving a moving picture show, and W. C. Piper, a 1911 graduate, gave an illustrated talk on Panama. I he pictures had been taken by him during a recent visit there. The business of the Association was transacted prior to the pictures, at which time the Executive Committee was instructed to arrange for a dance. No doubt this will meet with the usual success. At present the Association has under consideration a plan whereby the Alumni will offer an annual scholarship to a worthy student of the School of Applied Industries. We expect to give a definite report on this in the very near future. As our membership will be increased by the graduates of the present year, we bid them the usual welcome and hope they will be an inspiration to the old graduates with their activity and interest. i The Alumnae Association OF THE MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE SCHOOL FOR WOMEN Programme—1912-1913 November 16 Tea Address—“Changing Methods in Woman’s Education.” Dr. Arthur Arton Hamcrschlag.

The Alumnae Association and Graduating Class held their annual banquet in the Rittcnhouse during Commencement Week. A meeting was held prior to the banquet and the following officers were elected: Miss Edith Ann Clarke Miss Tamar Elizabeth Scott Mrs. Clara Mills Miss Jennie Albertson President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary) The speakers during the evening were Miss Lyon. Miss Baldwin and Dean Con-nelley. On October 26. 1912, the Alumnae gave a luncheon at McCrecry’s, which was well attended. We were glad to have with us Miss Williams, an honorary member of the Association. Several social affairs are being arranged for at this time, and they will probably be carried out during the spring and summer. One interesting feature to be held is a Smoker, which is in charge of Mrs. Mills, but. as we have not yet heard anything definite, we presume she is having difficulty in getting the Smokes. What’s the trouble, Mrs. Mills? Early in November an Advisory Committee was formed, to act in conjunction with the other officers. Those who were asked to serve on the committee are as follows: Miss Anna M. Lindsey Miss Edna M. Pfeil Miss Jane C. Bryce Miss Katherine McGlumphy Miss Minnie B. Howley A meeting of the officers and Advisory Committee was held on December 6, 1912, in the school parlors. The graduates have been very conspicuous in the subsequent classes. Many of the girls have been in attendance five years, others four years, following up in other work at school. Some of the Alumnae meet down town most every day at lunch, or see each other frequently, and often help one another to secure more lucrative and congenial work. Mrs. J. D. Ball, of Nashville, our first President, keeps in touch with the girls by letter, and is very much interested in their different projects.

The executive board is composed of two faculty members from each of the schools. Applied Science, Applied Design, and Applied Industries, with the Secretary of the schools as chairman of this committee. The administrative board is composed of two student representatives from each of the recognized non-athlctic activities. At present the presidents and the managers of the respective organizations represent the activities and form this board. It is the function of the Student Board to receive all requests for aid. both in the form of gifts and loans, from the student activity fund, to consider same and make recommendation to the Faculty Board, approving or disapproving the petition. The veto power rests with the Faculty. Organizations entitled to petition the committee must draw their membership from all the schools, and have obtained recognition from this committee. Formal application blanks are signed by the activity petitioning, stating the purpose for which the funds are to be used, the amount desired, the financial condition of the activity, also the number and source of membership. 1 he petitioning body, after filling out the above form, submits same to the Student Board. At the first regular meeting, or at a special meeting, a representative of the petitioning body appears, in order to give any additional information which the Student Board may desire. A recommendation of approval brings the petition before the Faculty Board for its consideration, and the action of this Board is final.

S. ’12 Athletics A REVIEW of the athletic situation at Tech may be interesting to the students, especially those who arc newly enrolled, and will be valuable if we can stimulate the interest of the student body to the extent of getting a larger number of men to participate in the various athletic activities. The greatest criticism of college athletics in this country is that too much attention is paid to the specialization of a comparatively small group of men, who, as a rule, are already well trained, while the average student, who could well benefit by participation in some branch of sport, and in many instances be of considerable help by playing on, or developing, a representative team, is content to sit back and view the spectacle. 1 he criticism is well justified, in many cases, and we arc thus brought to consider this fact: Arc we interested in turning out athletics, or in turning out men who arc going to be a credit to themselves, and to the institution they represent? Assuming that we are interested in the latter, then athletics should play an important part in the program of a much larger number of students. The athletic field presents one of the finest opportunities for developing such qualities as initiative, loyalty, self-confidence, resourcefulness, discipline, and many other essentials to good citizenship. Under such a policy the development would necessarily be slow, but it would be constant. We would have a large number of men to fill in the vacancies made by those who are lost by graduation and other causes. The development would be internal; as a matter of fact, the best athletes that have represented the schools are those who have been developed here. For the past three years Tech has been able to hold its own with the other schools in this section, in every form of athletics, with the exception of football. In 1910-1 I, the football team was depleted by the loss of almost the entire squad of the year before, and. as a result, the showing made by the team that year was not creditable. The basketball team, however, made a very satisfactory showing. The baseball team was not quite up to the standard, but the track team succeeded in winning the Pitt Inter-Collegiate Meet and the Western Pennsylvania Championship Meet, as well as every dual meet. In 191 1-12, the football team was much stronger than the previous year, although the basketball team did not make quite as good a record as the team did the year before. The baseball team had a fair season, winning a majority of the games played, and was probably the best team in this section. The track team was able to keep up the record set for it the year before, winning the Penn Relays at Philadelphia and the Western Pennsylvania Championship Meet, not being entered in the Pitt Inter-Collegiate Meet. The present year, 1912-13, shows us a football team superior to the two preceding elevens, a basketball team that is the best we have had in the past three years, and the prospects in baseball and track for teams which ought to be able to maintain the standard set last year. In view of these records. Tech has every reason to feel proud of the teams that have represented her, and the records they have made. The development has been gradual, and, therefore, gives promise for the possibilities of the future. J. H. McCulloch. WELAQ.C.Q.J OP TflC 'C rOOTDALL H J5 - Crawford Capt'.... . J ‘Park.

May the spirit that is being fostered at Old l ech spread throughout this nation and make our own United States the modern Sparta for Courage and Fearlessness. Here’s to Tech. Your friend, Fred M. Walker. Heroes of Tech In the olden days there were heroes. Men who were staunch and true. Who put off the softer things of life For a nobler work to do. Men who have conquered passion. Men never slaves to wine. Men who would fight with the strength of right. Men who were near divine. They were the men of courage. They were the men of will. They were the men with the heart and soul That the world looks back on still. But the age of the hero passeth, I he softer things hold sway; Pleasure and idleness men now seek. While the fibers of strength decay. Yet a few there are more hardy. With courage like men of might. Who throw off the hampering yoke of ease And learn how to live and fight. Men who are fearless and ready. Men who will face a foe. Men who unflinchingly bear the pain. Where duty may bid them go. These are the men who conquer. Men who have learned to fight As they carry the ball down the field And—SCORE—in the fading light. And they fight for a cause, their College, They fight like the men of old; They fight with a love unknown to those Who have sold their souls for gold. 1 here’s a song in their heart, though the torture Of hell runs down their spine. As clutching the ball, betrampled and faint. They know they have crossed the line. Come on, then, ye plaided warriors. You’re old Tech’s pioneers; For the championships are coming In the not far distant years. You’ll all come back and the undergrads Will point you out and say, “There is Metheny, Crawford and Mac, Who were here in the olden day.” “Stonercd, Taylor, and Engstrom, God, boys! but they were men. They are the ones who started to win. And gave us our chance at Penn.” “Heisel and Hall and Hubler, And Achie and Welch and Clair, They all played back in nineteen-twelve. When that green field was bare.” “And Patterson, Lose, and Fulmer, DeMuth, Park, and Peterson, too; They all belonged to that fighting bunch Which made up that game old crew.” “Sometimes there were but twenty men From which the team was picked. But, hell! They had the spirit of old. They fought and were never licked. mmmm “We couldn't get on with Yale then. Nor had Princeton been licked right. But they were the ir.cn who handed down That famous old Tech fight.” Men of Tech, will you falter. Will a murmur pass your lips. When you’re building up foundations for 1 hose future championships? “No, do you say? Then at them. Forget that twisted knee. That charlie-horse will limber up. It’s no)v if you’re to be. Bruises and sprains and scratches Will heal and you’ll itch for more. But the football season of nineteen-twelve Can never be played o’er. Then here’s to a Team of Heroes— With spirit so staunch and true, That down the years they’ll ne’er forget The Men of this Fighting Cren . V. L. Marks E. R. Cozens OUR COACHES ' f F. M. Walker THE SCRUBS Review of the 1912 Football Season THE football season of 1912 for Carnegie Tech, although not a success in the number of games won. was, in many ways, a great success. Never was there a team followed by such ill luck as that which was experienced by the 1 cch team of 1912. The ill luck began the third day of the preliminary training season at Camp Louise Carnegie when two of the boys sustained sprained ankles. 1 hat “jinx” seemed to follow us through the entire season, and in the last game only did no one receive serious injury. The team won three games, lost four, and tied one. The first game with State College was the hardest one on the schedule. The team left for the scene of action without two of the best men, they remaining at home crippled. Although defeated by the score of 42 to 0, the game was hard fought throughout and the 1 cch men acquitted themselves nobly, and in the last quarter outplayed their heavier opponents. This game demonstrated the type of men carried on the team, and was certainly very gratifying to the coaches. The next game with Waynesburg was won by a crippled team which played fair football, the score being 25 to 0. The next affair was staged with Washington and Jefferson at Washington. It was a game in name only—the usual courtesies shown a visiting team both on and off the field by players and rooters alike were conspicuous by their absence. They defeated us with a much heavier team, playing full time periods in mud on a hot day. Although outweighed and unaccustomed to the tactics of the W. and J. players, the Tech team fought valiantly from whistle to whistle. The following week we played Grove City, and again being outweighed and without the services of Captain Crawford, the team held them to a 0 to 0 score on a very muddy field. On the following Saturday, Bethcny played on our field and Tech won by a score of 14 to 6 after having been scored on first. The next game we had Westminster as our opponents and the score was against us 3 to 0, this coming in the last three minutes of play. Tech outplayed Westminster throughout the contest. In the last quarter Tech carried the ball the entire length of the field to within ten yards of Westminster’s goal, only to have a forward pass intercepted and carried back to our own ten-yard line. Here the team made a determined stand, but a field goal won the game for Westminster. The next Saturday we journeyed to Alliance and played Mount Union College. We lost this game by virtue of their use of the forward pass, the ball being in the air four-fifths of the playing time. But they could do nothing with 1 ech when they returned to earth. The experience the players obtained in this game prepared them in part for the last game of the season, which was with Havcrford College, cn lech Held. 1 he game was brilliantly played and was won by Tech by a score of 14 to 7. 1 his was a fitting climax to a season of misfortunes, and players and coaches alike breathed a sigh of relief after this contest. In summing up we may say that although we did not win the Conference Championship, as some one has put it, we did win the Championship of Fellowship. I here was no discord whatever; Manager Finkcl arranged a good schedule; the boys were fortunate in having as their captain such a man as Frank Crawford, and the coach was ably assisted by Messrs. McCulloch, Cozens, and Walker. Here’s hoping that the succeeding team will show the same fighting spirit as was shown in 1912; and if this be true, every Tech man will be proud to look upon a victorious season.

Middleman David Rose Stickers THE highest tribute that one can pay to a fellow student is to say, He has school spirit.” How very easy it is to say this of the men who win honors and fame on the athletic field; how easy to overlook the less fortunate ones. There arc two men in our student body who have proved beyond all doubt that they have the real Tech spirit. They are Lewis R. Middleman and David Rose, both of the class of 1913. Every season of their four years at l ech found these men out at first call—working hard for the team, for their Alma Mater. They were not the ones to bemoan their fate, or grumble when others, younger, perhaps, were placed in the lineup, or to give up because of hard luck. They stuck, and stuck fast for four long years, in the face of defeat—but could we call this defeat? Never. Theirs was the greatest of victories. To them is due all the applause that we can give. May every student follow their example of pluck and loyalty, and be a real Tech man. BASEBALL The Varsity Results of Season of 1912 Apr. 10—Alumni ..................

Alliance Review of the Baseball Season THE Varsity baseball team of 1912 was the best that has ever represented this institution. Its record is ten games won and five lost. 1 his team was not the result of a sudden influx of good new material, but of the development of the old men. In fact, it was a team of stars. Great credit is due Coach McCulloch and Captain Vail, who. in the face of the continual reverses and misfortunes of previous years, kept persevering and succeeded in rounding out a winning team. In the person of Fred Carts, the one real need was filled. A great part of the success was due to his masterful pitching. However, no team can hope to win without hitting ability, and this necessary adjunct was by no means missing, as was evidenced by the team average of .301, and such individual averages as .430, held by Captain Vail and Wchr. Consistent hitting and fielding characterized all the games played. In the first game of the season Penn State was outplayed in every respect, until the last inning, when a slippery ball lost the game for us by one score. At Washington and Jefferson, in an eleven-inning game, DeMuth sent the ball over the fence for the winning run. In a like manner many of the other games were won by the necessary hit at the critical moment. On the whole, this season will long be remembered as a record one for Carnegie Tech. Manager Manker was very successful in handling his season and displayed excellent judgment in arranging his schedule. The 1913 baseball schedule, completed by Manager Grotcfcnd, includes games that will prove most interesting. A great deal of thought was shown in the timing of games, in order that they might conflict as little as possible with the heavy scholastic work of the students. Gearhart, because of his consistent hitting, brilliant fielding and all-around work at short-stop, was chosen this year’s captain. With a nucleus composed of such veterans as Vail, Wehr, DeMuth, Morehead and Hall, and the wealth of new material which has already appeared for indoor practice, the prospects for another winning team are certainly good.

A. indoor meet. Competing against stars from Pennsylvania, Cornell, Carlisle and other celebrated schools, the team did very well. All indoor work, however, was only preparatory to the heavy schedule of outdoor meets later in the season. The first outdoor meet was the Annual Interschool and Interscholastic meet on the home field. The Inlcrschool was again won by Science, and was featured by the breaking of the record for the discus throw by E. L. Clair. The Interscholastic invitation meet proved more popular than ever before and the plans arc to make this the largest meet of its kind in this district next year. One of the most important events on the schedule occurred on April 27, when the relay team journeyed to Philadelphia to compete in the Relay Games. Rain fell all day and the track was a sea of mud. Although the team was light, every man ran a magnificent race, winning for the third time in their class. On May 4 Westminster was met on the home field and proved fairly easy victims to the well-balanced team. I he triangular meet between Pennsylvania, Carlisle, and Carnegie demonstrated the fact that the team was one of the best in the history of the school, although the scorers were a little careful where they chalked up the points. The next meet was the Western Penna. Intercollegiate, held at Sharon on June 1. The track was bad, and the team having ridden all morning, was not in the excellent condition that had characterized it all season. In spite of all handicap, however, they finished in the lead, beating out Westminster, Allegheny, Grove City, and Geneva, with a score of 47 1-3 points. The last meet, on June 9, was a dual with Penna. State, at State College, Pa., and the date was a little unfortunate, since it came in the midst of our examinations, and some of the members of the team were unable to get away, leaving us with no entries for the pole vault, jumps, and weight events. State won the meet, but it was featured on our side by the breaking of two records. H. L. Hosey ran the quarter-mile in 50 4-5 seconds, breaking his own record of 5 I 2-5 seconds. C. M. Crawford ran the 120-yard high hurdles in 16 seconds, breaking the record of 16 4-5 seconds held by Guy Halferty, 09. After the meet C. M. Crawford was elected captain for 1913 season.

T. is gradually becoming a popular winter sport, as has been shown by the attendance of the students at the games this year. It has improved greatly over last year, and by the time we have our new gymnasium, basketball bids fair to rank with the other sports. Although we lost a few games at the beginning of the year, the season has been most successful. However, our early misfortunes may be accounted for by the fact that our team had very little practice because the candidates did not come out for the team until January 7. This was because of the interference of Christmas vacation. The first game, with Penn State, was a rather serious defeat, as were the next two with Juniata and State. After these games, the team began to develop, and only two games were lost during the entire season. Away from home. Grove City defeated us by one point. Muskingum by two. Later we defeated both of these teams on our own floor. Of last year’s team only two men, Heiscl and Colvin, were back; but with the help of Methcny, Hines, Criswell, Tumpanc and Douthett, Coach Marks was able to develop a fast and heavy team. The smallest man on the team, Criswell, has shown the best form, and besides doing all the foul shooting, has scored the greatest number of points for our team. The total number of college games played was eleven. Of this number six were victories for us. The Tennis Team The Season TECH was represented in tennis in 1912 by an unusually fast team, consisting of Walter Flood. Captain and Manager, A. D. Beekcn, Jr., Assistant Manager George Douthett, and John W. Savage. The important event of the season was the intercollegiate tournament of Western Pennsylvania, held under our auspices on the University Club courts. This tournament was won by the University of Pittsburgh, Tech being a close second. Flood and Savage played for lech in the singles; Douthett and Bccken, in the doubles. M.M.C.S. M. M. C. S.

Gumbart The Musical Clubs THE season of 1912-13 has been the most successful in the history of the clubs, both in the quantity and quality of the material from which the clubs were chosen. From the try-outs, which numbered nearly one hundred, about forty-five men made the clubs. These represent the musical ability in a student body of nearly 3000. Many of the last year’s club men returned, and these formed a nucleus for the new organization. With the training and experience of last season, and under the leadership of the directors. Gregorio Scalzo and R. J. McDowell, the clubs were in concert trim early in the season. Of the concerts out of town, the “feed” and trip to McDonald, Pa., the reception and dance given in Munhall, Pa., and last, but not least, the banquet and entertainment given in Aspenwall, Pa., will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to make the clubs. Aside from the scheduled engagements, it has been an annual custom to give several concerts in behalf of social settlement work. This season the clubs found opportunity to assist the Inter-Collegiate Committee for Social Service. Concerts of this type given in the News Boys’ Home, the Soho Bath settlement, the Western Pennsylvania School for the Blind, proved to be wholesome entertainment for very enthusiastic audiences. The zenith of the season was reached March 12, in the home concert. The amateurs performed in a stately, polished manner, and the concert, as a whole, was indicative of that training found in the mastery of many classics. Automaton comedy made its usual hit, and freedom from “horse-play contributed to the success of the home concert. Knowing of the clubs’ excellency this season, supreme efforts were made to secure an Eastern trip for the Easter recess, but without success. Lack of the necessary Alumni support and the keen competition forced the clubs to take a tour of lesser magnitude. 'This trip extended through West Virginia, where the name of Carnegie Tech was proclaimed in song, word, and deed. When all is done and said, the Musical Clubs of Carnegie Institute of I echnology deserve the credit of being the major non-athletic organization and merit the highest praise for their noble work, which success has crowned for consistent well-directed effort.

May 7, 1913 Director Scalzo Director McDowell The Directors of the Musical Club A WORD of praise is here due to the hard working directors of the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, comprising the Carnegie Musical Clubs. Upon the shoulders of these musicians rest the responsibility of moulding the clubs so that the various concerts may be a credit from a musical and artistic point of view. Mr. R. J. McDowell, director of the Glee Club, has had extensive experience in leading and training clubs of this nature. He was tenor soloist on the Princeton Glee Club the four years he was in college, and held the coveted position of leader during his last year. After graduation he became a member of the world-famous Moody Quartette of Chicago. Later he was engaged as director of the W. and J. Glee Club, which he held until he accepted the offer of the Carnegie Musical Clubs. Recently Mr. McDowell has been serving on the faculty as instructor in choral singing, and one needs only to be present at one of the mass meetings to understand that the success of the Glee Club is due to his live personality and his grasp of the possibilities of musical expression. In securing the services of Sgn. Scalzo the Mandolin Club has been extremely fortunate. The “Inimitable Scalzo is a mandolinist of international repute, having led the Sylvester Mandolin Club of over 400 instruments while in the Konservatorium of Leipzig, Germany, from which institution he was graduated in violin, harmony and counterpoint. He has twice made tours of South America in the capacity of mandolin soloist in concert, and upon his arrival in this country took a position with the Pittsburgh Orchestra, which position he held until the organization disbanded in 1910. Since that time Sgn. Scalzo has devoted himself to instruction and orchestra work with various musical societies in Pittsburgh. Signor Scalzo is a composer of rare ability, which he has shown in the “Tech Waltz,” and his “Reverie,” written for the Musical Clubs and dedicated to them. The clubs have been fortunate in having these two men for three years, and it is to be hoped that both men will continue with the organization for many years to come. Historical Sketch of the Carnegie Musical Clubs EIGHT years ago, a small body of musically inclined students in Carnegie’s charter class, held a smoker in the Industries group, to discuss the possibility of combining their talents into an organization representative of their Alma Mater. From this humble start grew the Carnegie Musical Clubs of today—one of the foremost college glee and mandolin clubs in the country. This growth was not providential, nor accidental, but was the result of hard work and consistent policy, on the part of the managements, and the faithful and conscientious effort upon the part of the members. The first year of their existence found the clubs in an uphill struggle, characteristic of young organizations, and little more was done aside from the home concert in the Carnegie Music Hall. The second year saw a vast improvement in the work of both clubs, as well as an increase in numbers, but. as the management wisely decided, the time was not yet ripe for the taking of out-of-town trips, so. with a few Pittsburgh concerts, the season closed with a home concert, which proved a great success. During the third and fourth years the clubs journeyed to the suburbs, in addition to the usual home concert, and established a creditable reputation locally. The fifth and sixth years saw glorious Christmas trips to cities out of Pittsburgh, the home concerts of these years eclipsing those preceding. I he seventh year found the clubs in a shape better than ever before. The talent was of the first water, many and longer out-of-town trips were taken, and, with the instigation of the “second part, the home concert received many unbiased compliments from Pittsburgh music critics. And so we come to the eighth year of their existence, and the results of the hard work of previous years was seen in the long-to-be-rcmembered ‘ 1 3 Home Concert. During Easter week the musical clubs toured on a concert trip through West Virginia, making such a decided hit that this trip is to be an annual tour in the future. With such strides, then, it is but a matter of a few years when the Carnegie Musical Clubs will be known as “the College Musical Club, when the home concert will be one of the crowning musical events in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. Music of the Future By Arthur G. Burcoyne MUSIC, music for the masses! That’s the watchword of the classes That arc gelling under way In the stately school where Hewlett (Long may he be spared to rule it!) Exercises gentle sway. Music passionate and soulful. Music morbid, music doleful. Music full of throbs and thrills. Music deep and problematic. Music feivent and ecstatic, All arc down upon the bills. You may hear there, if you want to, Samples of the true bcl canto, Such as David sprang on Saul. You may hear the strains sonorous Of a polyphonic chorus In a thunderous chorale. You may hear such joy-begetting Soloizing and duelling As one rarely hears elsewhere. Lays of trouvcrcs such as Blondcl, Villanella, aubade, rondel Figure on the bill of fare. Malchcrck sets out to win his Spurs by training Paganinis And Tarlinis up-to-date. Youngsters fairly overtopping Krcisler in their double-stopping Reach perfection while you wait. On a Strad or rare Amati They indulge in pizzicati And arpeggios by the score And they reel off Wicniawski, Saint-Saens. Hubay and Tschaikowsky And make easy work of Spohr. Oh. the pedagogic ardor Of O'Brien, striving harder Than a Titan! Waxing warm. He is ready to confront all Difficulties contrapuntal And bugbears in canon form. And the writer of this jingle Makes the nerves of lyrocs tingle (Poor unhappy little lambs!) With discourses cxcgclic On the Symphony Pathetic Or the Number One of Brahms. In the course of time, we fancy— And it takes no necromancy To achieve the simple feat— In this young conservatory There will be the crowning glory Of an orchestra complete. Aye, some generous and good wind May blow hither brass and woodwind. Not to speak of drums and harps, And the very earth may tremble With the might of that ensemble As it cats up flats and sharps. Then no orchestra symphonic With a Dirigent” Teutonic Will the city need. No kick Need arise when there arc classes Making music for the masses. Let Carnegie do the trick.

Evans W. H. Chalfont E. C. Hilger C. B. Klein White Friars THE White Friars Club came into being in the spring of 1907 with a charter membership of thirty-two. Beyond necessary preliminaries of organization, nothing was done until the fall of that year. After the absorption by the Senior Club of a new dramatic association styled the Freshman Comedy Club, definite action was begun upon the play for the ensuing year. Winston Churchill’s “The Title Mart” was chosen and put into rehearsal, but without a director. June 16, 1908, was announced as the date of the production. Meanwhile the club was fortunately successful in securing Mr. Walter B. Edmund-son as director. As rehearsal proceeded the play in use was found unsuitable and was discarded in favor of All in a Dormitory,” a musical comedy more suited to a college production. Within the month remaining Mr. Edmundson prepared the play for performance and it was put on with no change in the date announced. The first Varsity play of the Carnegie Institute of Technology was given in the Auditorium at Sewickley, Pa., June 12, 1908. Music was provided by a school orchestra under the direction of Mr. William Dorrington. A banquet at the Fort Pitt Hotel celebrated the club’s initial success. Early preparations were made for the following year for the second production of the club. Mr. Edmundson was again secured and the book His Highness, the Chef was put into rehearsal under his direction. This was the first original play produced by the club. Under the management of M. M. Steene the production was made on an unusually elaborate scale. Mr. Dorrington directed an augmented School Orchestra. An extended trip was made by the club to Sewickley, Butler and New Castle, where successful performances were given. Matinee and evening performances were given in Pittsburgh on June 29, 1909. The play compared favorably with the work of older college clubs and was a pronounced success. Mr. Edmundson was retained as director the following year. Early in the season his book. “Miss Mistaken. was put into rehearsal and a score was arranged and adapted by Mr. Dorrington. D. D. Mitchell managed the club this year. Miss Mistaken was produced in the Alvin Theatre, May 28, 1910. Matinee and evening performances were given. Mr. Dorrington again conducted the orchestra. 1 he play was well received by press and public. The past year brought the Friars to a revival of “His Highness, the Chef,” Mr. Edmundscn’s play having been chosen the most successful book in the history of the club to mark the fifth anniversary of its inception. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. W. P. De Long, who brought this production thoroughly up-to-date with new, whistly music written especially for this performance, and to Manager FI. P. Smith, who looked after the business end. An evening performance was given to a packed house at the Duquesne Theatre on Juno 3, 1912. Taken all in all. the production compared very favorably with the production of 1909, and can take its place with the Mask and Wig. Princeton Triangle Club, and other college plays that have been seen in Pittsburgh in the past few seasons. Rehearsals for this year’s productions are now in full swing, and the outlook is far better than for previous years. The men playing the caste are men of experience, and a majority of the chorus likewise. We feel certain that when the curtain falls on the final performance of 1913 the White Friars of Carnegie Tech will lead all other college productions.

Mistress of Wardrobc THE Dramatic Club this year feels that it has made more than ordinary progress. It has tried, as far as possible, to study the drama as well as to attempt to produce it, as it, most sensibly, realizes the fact that proper production can come only after a thorough study. Mrs. Vcrmorckcn, who is chairman of the Students’ Activities Committee, has taken a very great interest in the club’s progress, and has been most generous with her most valuable time. She is now carrying on a series of weekly readings of the dramas of well-known authors. The play, or plays, to be produced this spring are also to be read and studied, and it is hoped that this year’s production will be the ‘‘best ever. The club has felt particularly fortunate in being able to have the services of Mr. Geoghegan, of the Design School, whose abilities and extraordinary talents have been a wonderful help. M. M. C. S. DRAMATIC CLUB The Christmas Play Dickens' Christmas Carol NO 1 a latent echo in the gym; not a squeak or shuffle from the sufferers on the bar-stalls; not a whisper from the lover to his best beloved; not a sigh from the envious girls who were not in the play; no, not even the idle chatter that emanated from the front row could be heard as the curtain drew back, displaying to view Scrooge and Bob Cratchct as they sat huddled up in the office of Scrooge Marley. There were some among the audience that claimed to know them, and upon Bob Cratchet’s turning round some one leaped up as though to cry, I know her! Peggy Webb! Scrooge looked so irresistibly such a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner that there were three or four good people of the free and easy sort who pride themselves on being acquainted with a move or two, who expressed a doubt as to Scrooge’s identity, and although they had been ready for a broad field of strange appearances, they were nevertheless astonished when they learned that Scrooge was no other than Ike Pond. Oh, it was a wonderful play! Fat Sawyer said, and calmly, too, that she regarded it as the greatest success ever achieved by the Dramatic Club. The girls all said that now that the weight was lifted from their minds, they had had their doubts about the quantity cf rouge they had used. Everybody had something to say about it, but nobody said or thought it was at all a misfortune that the curtain fell down three or four times, especially when Professor Day was in the audience. It would have been flat heresy to do so. Any girl would have blushed to hint at such a thing. The girls said that they didn’t believe there ever was such a coach as Mr. Geoghegan, and Mrs. Vermorvken, too, was as good as gold. “Spirit of the Christmas Play, Thy girlish essence was from heaven. The happiness you give is quite as great as if it cost a fortune. “As You Like It WHEN the Dramatic Club of M. M. C. S. chose “As You Like It” as their spring play, they considered the possibility of giving it in Schenley Park and in open air. With this in view, numbers of girls might be seen at all hours of the day exploring the nooks and recesses of the park. Many were the precious noon hours that were spent in this manner, and competition rose between the different groups. One spot which was a veritable little Forest of Arden had but one drawback—it would not under any condition scat an audience. And some such drawback proved to turn up in the case of each discovery. However, in spite of the discouragement of having to eliminate one possibility after another, the girls kept up the search, even to the extent of receiving aid from their friends in the other schools. One noontime, after the first bell had rung and the girls had separated from the faithful ones of the male clement and were hurrying back to their I o’clock classes with heavy hearts, a cry was heard in the distance, and turning, the girls saw running down the boulevard toward them, with cheeks aflame and hair flying, a wildly excited figure screaming at the top of her voice, “Eureka! Eureka! Ike had found it at last. So then work started in good earnest. Miss Stoner had procured the genuine music for the play from London, and as she had played in “As You Like It” during the previous summer in England, she made a most efficient coach. Everybody worked like Trojans and finally the great day of anticipation arrived, and— It rained! Oh, how it did rain! The costumes were not made of chcncy silk, and of course the profundity of Jacques’ soliloquy would have been utterly ruined had a mischievous raindrop descended upon his nose at the crucial moment, so there was absolutely nothing to do but smile and help carry hills and things to the gym. Under the direction of the magic fingers of Professor Esquerrc, the gym was quickly transformed into a beautiful little forest. Naturally some of the girls forgot their lines, and it was hard at first to become accustomed to the deceptive scenery that might have been the means of covering up much of the confusion, but which had plainly written all over it, “Please do not touch.” The hills and stumps were not to be sat upon. The trees were mostly to look at and hold Orlando’s verses, which were needs hung there with much gentleness. Just the same it was a big time and a grand success.

The parlors and booths were attractively decorated with cotton bolls. The chairmen of the committees, Miss Jean Horigan, Miss Margaret McQuiston. and Miss Elizabeth Slack, ably assisted by members of the Guild, made the bazaar a great success, clearing $55.00; $10.00 more was added to the fund by the candy sale held on the night of the Christmas Play. Altogether, the Guild has given $75.00 and fifty dresses, made by the members of the Guild, to the Pittsburgh Home for Babies. The monthly teas instituted this year have been a great force in making the members acquainted with each other, adding sociability to the life of the Guild and of the school. It is planned for the future that prominent speakers from the “Consumers’ League,” “The Child Labor Association. and other well-known organizations, shall present their problems to the girls, informing them of some of the great social questions of the day. For the next year the aim of the Guild is to make $ 100 for the Tuberculosis Hospital. Students’ Organization Committee Margaret H. Webb . President of M. Amelia Lehman .

Glee Club Chairman of Committee on Entertainments Assistant Edilor-in-Chief of Thistle Leonore Honeckcr Auditor THE Students’ Organization is an innovation in M. M. C. S. Last fall it was decided that the activities of the school should be given over into the students’ hands altogether, and with this end in view, the Student Activities Committee advised the organization of this body, which was to be composed of the heads of all the different activities in the school. Into the hands of this organization was given all the business of the different activities, both financial and otherwise. They were to elect a chairman to take in hand all the business of the committee, and to confer with the Student Activities Committee itself when necessary. A secretary-treasurer was elected, and lastly a student auditor, who is not a member of any of the organizations. So far this organization has proven quite successful and has made its work fit in satisfactorily with the ideas of the Student Activities Committee. We have reason to believe that it is already accomplishing what it was intended to do—to put the students upon their own responsibility, and to bring into play that initiative which we know is by no means lacking in them, but which needs only to be exercised.

Sons of Carnegie l ech and their partners to the number of two hundred investigated this highly exciting and interesting problem about a couple o’clock on the morning after the night of February 28. Everybody was there, including the largest faculty turnout ever witnessed. Those who know are sure that there never was a Junior Prom quite as successful as this one. Chairman Holzworth and his able committee proved beyond all doubt that they were right up to the minute on all things social, as was evidenced by the perfect arrangement of every detail. Signor Scalzo’s music was inspiring; the supper, inviting; the programs were incomparable, and the decorations beyond criticism. Between dances, the club and fraternity booths were filled to overflowing with the gay dancers, whose only thoughts were of enjoying the entertainment provided for them. One and all agree that this Junior Prom stands as an affair never equaled in the history of C. I. T., and one which is only befitting so illustrious a class as 1914. Margaret Morrison Carnegie1 School THE JUNIOR PROM Committee Margarel McQuiston, Chairman Jean Horigan Amelia Lehman Grace Little Mary Roberts Helen Wagner HAD any visitor entered the kitchens of M. M. C. S. at about 1 1 o’clock on Friday morning, February 7, he or she would probably have wondered what on earth the girls were doing. At one table was a lone maiden working over a kettle of fat; at the other table were several busily beating a cake batter, or rather, several cake batters. Upstairs, in the gym, several more were energetically engaged in the work of twining smilax through a lattice of red. From the lunch-room kitchen came the odor of stewed chicken. Why were the girls all working so busily? Why, don’t you know that the greatest affair of the year for the Juniors, the Junior Prom, was to take place on that night? For the first time the girls were preparing the lunch instead of having a caterer. The decorations were beautiful, for Mr. Sollom, of the Design School, very kindly helped, both with suggestions and with actual work. The gym, instead of a plain, everyday room for “physical training, appeared as a beautiful bower, the walls and ceiling being of red lattice, through which smilax had been twined. I he stage was banked with palms and ferns. In the receiving line were Miss Harrison, Class President; Mrs. Vermorcken, and Director and Mrs. Hamerschlag. The dancing began merrily at nine, and as the music was excellent, it could not have been entered into with more enthusiasm. The floors were in very good shape and there was just a nice number of dancers. Lunch was served between the twelfth and thirteenth dances. Tables were set in the Faculty Parlors and the class colors were carried out in the center-pieces, which were made up of yellow tulips and dark red geranium leaves. The candles also had yellow shades, and the tables made a fine appearance. Much credit is due the Committee on Refreshments for the excellent lunch which they prepared. It certainly proved that M. M. C. S. is a school for teaching not only the theory but also the practice of cooking. The old saying that “Experience is the best teacher’’ certainly was proven, for this, the second Prom given by the present Juniors, far surpassed the first, and was surely enjoyed to the utmost by every single person there. Panther Hollow WHO is not filled with an indescribable feeling, when walking through that sylvan retreat. Panther Hollow? Who is it that does not think, dream, plan great futures, build gorgeous castles-in-thc-air, when in this veritable Eden? Ah, “Wilderness were Paradise enow.” Could it have been of this fair spot that Omar sang in the days yore? In the soft morning dewiness, in the mid-day’s heat, in evening’s gentle dusk, whatever be the time, what high and noble resolves enter one’s mind as he or she, or both, mayhap, wanders aimlessly along its winding path, in the cool shade, in the all-embracing solitude. Whether it be to polish up on math, to forget the trials of class-room routine, or, what is most of all to youth, to spend a happy hour with Pier or Him. the student is always the better for a jaunt in Panther Hollow. Singly or in groups we see them strolling slowly along its grassy slopes. In pairs they climb the steep ascent, intent upon—what matters it? Perhaps they count the steps. Could this silent spot tell its secrets, what a page it would add to the history of Tech. It could recount many tales of trembling Plebes, singing to the moon, of midnight feeds held by care-free Sophs, of future bungalows planned by dignified Seniors for the only girl in the land, and what not. But it is most wise in its secrecy and will ever remain the safe keeper of all the student secrets. What a world this would be if all friends could be as faithful, as silent, as our dear old friend.

Waitt History of the Seannachie Society THE Seannachie Society was organized in March, 1912, by the upper classmen, who saw the need of an organization in the school which would give voice to the opinion of the majority of the student body in the Institute and through the influence of its members, bring about needed steps in the improvement of school conditions. 1 he organization was first thought of as merely a Booster’s Club, but later the advisability of giving it a broader scope was recognized. The name of the Society gave the men a good deal of trouble at first, as they wished it to be significant of its aims and purposes. In the meantime meetings went on as usual and it was decided to start work on a Student Hand-book for C. I. T. I here is no Y. M. C. A. in Carnegie to put out such a book, so the members of the Society, recognizing the need of such as a reliable source of information, published it themselves. The Hand-book has not yet been delivered from the publishing house, as the copy was sent in but a short time ago, owing to the almost insurmountable difficulties encountered in producing a good pamphlet. The name Seannachie is that of a Scottish bard, whose office it was to hand down the traditions of his clan. This is the mission of the Society; to foster good traditions and stop bad practices from becoming the accepted thing. The Society elects its own members from those men who have shown themselves leaders in the various recognized varsity activities, and aims to bring together the leaders of the men’s schools in a common bond of fellowship for the betterment of conditions about the school. Such a Society deserves the hearty and willing co-operation of every man in school, both faculty and students. It should be considered the highest honor of a man’s college career to be elected to this Society and assist in the growth of his Alma Mater. Guy W. Fagan Wireless Club . President J. H.

Treasurer THE Wireless Club of the Carnegie Institute of Technology was organized by students of the School of Applied Industries in December, 1911. The purpose of the organization is to equip and maintain a wireless station for the use of all students who may be interested in wireless telegraphy. At present, the equipment consists of a complete transmitting set, including a one-kilowatt transformer Only the “wireless fiend” knows how he misses his instruments after leaving his home to go away to school. To him, it is just like losing his best friend. This has been the case with many of the members of the club, who find that the concentration required in the use of instruments is a safe and sure cure for homesickness. With “phones at his cars, he may hear his old friends conversing, and at times communicate with them. There are at present twenty-one active members, all of whom enjoy the use of the instruments in their leisure moments. The membership is open to any student of Carnegie Tech. Howard G. Fexter .

French President Vice-President T reasurer Secretary THE increased attendance and interest at the meetings of the C. M. E. S. during the past year, show that this society is keeping its character as one of the prime movers of that spirit of personal interest and good fellowship that forms the best part of college life. At our meetings the rooms temporarily occupied arc crowded to capacity, and we are looking forward to the time when our new quarters in Machinery Hall will give us adequate space for expansion. A large factor in the success of our meetings has been the interesting series of lectures delivered. Mr. Ely addressed the Society on “The Contracting Engineer ; Mr. McCollum on “Steel Manufacturing ; Mr. Hezlap, as champion of the Harrisburgh engine, and Mr. Roscnzweig for the Lentz, advanced such good reasons for the superiority of their respective machines, that a vague question arose in our minds as to why the whole engineering world did not have the perspicacity to install these engines at once. Scotty, as Lord High Chef of the Realm, did his full share toward making these gatherings enjoyable, and in general we can say that the year has been a most successful one for the Society.

Southwell INDUSTRIAL TEACHERS' CLUB The Industrial Teachers’ Club THE registration of students for the year 1912-13 brought out the fact that an unusually large class of students had enrolled in the Teachers’ Course. Among them were graduates of the School of Applied Industries, as well as men from various colleges. As the first semester progressed, and the men became fairly well acquainted, it became more and more evident that a means had to be found whereby the “class-room friendship” could be intensified by combining the intellectual and social interests of the men. This led to the organization of the Industrial Teachers’ Club. In November a meeting was called and a committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. At the next meeting, a week later, these were adopted, and the organization was launched by the election of the following officers: John J. McCaffery . . President John F. Herriott . . Vice-President Thomas Fish . . . Secretary and Treasurer NOTORIETY is the price of fame. Gentle reader, if we mention your faults, if we quip you, don’t peeve and crab and bawl us out; but grin and look chesty, for you are the big noise; you are noticed about school. Wc only hear of the people worth while; we have no time for boobs and nonentities. Some day, when you have acquired much of the world’s goods, and the gout, and a set of demountable molars, you will haul out this musty volume and call all your man-servants and maid-servants and horses and oxes and pipe forth in this wise: ’’Lo, was I not some Floss in my day? Behold, here is my name in the I histle, and here, and there. Yea, Bo!” And you will chuckle and dig your man Alphonse in the ribs and strangle in your glee. Selah. Who’s Who in Carnegie WHO’S held a place ’mong Skibo’s lads since back in old B. C.—Carnegie Tech’s Methuselah—“and slickin’ yet, b’gcc ? Who’s played upon lech’s scrimmage line and ran upon the track? Who hails from old Altoona (put the lid on. will you Mack) ? Who spoke his little piece at school when just a lad was he— a piece that ran about like this: “Oh, Woodman, spare that tree’’? Who always as a boy behaved as father said he should, and did as he was told, except he wouldn’t cut the wood? Who’s strong for conservation now (whatever that may be)? You ought to know the answer now—Thor Engstrom—He’s the Gee. ❖ ❖ ❖ Who runs his azure crayon and the carmine colored ink through all the stuff the student writes (he does—we do not think)? Who calls them on the Tartan rug (?) and says to them, says he: Your copy’s punk—brace up or quit”? (N. B. J-o-k-e.) Who tells him that his style is bad—he scribbles like a Hun—his thought’s involved— his spelling rank? ( That is, he does like fun.) Who dresses up the Tartan’s dope— like changing “gave to give”—or dotting i’s or crossing t’s? (As if he could and live!) Whose fame is fixed forever as Carnegie’s editor? Why, Darling Donald Mitchell, of the Tartan (Au Rcvoir). ❖ ❖ Who sports a wondrous pompadour, decidedly Au Fait, the greatest crop of upright fuzz since James J. Corbett’s day? Who dishes up the dope sheets in The Monthly Ladies’ Aid, and each and every problem solves for widow, wife and maid? Who tells the anxious mother what her tootsie ought to take to cure the pesky whooping cough or case the tummy-ache? Who hops the lass in Boston grace (?) across the dancing floor, no matter if there’s twenty there or ninety-eight or more? Who’s Jonny-on for drahmas that concern the social set—wherein the hero rolls around and smokes a cigarette? Who shines in conversation with the Maggie-Murphy dame, who’d rather lose her powder than the hyphen in her name? Who said he never said it—what he said was this and that? Surely you have guessed the person—Lennox Fogg—and chahmcd at that. Who hates to talk about himself or in the Tartan's eye, to print his name in letters more than two or three feet high? Who made the world and lit the stars and built the pyramids? Who runs the Science Club room—in fact, most all Tech’s “dids”? Who might, if he were urged and teased and coaxed, give his consent to go to Washington, D. C., and be our President? Who, even, might essay to serve as governor, (by ging), or burgomaster of New York—or almost anything? Who says that Taft’s a wicncrwurst— that Wilson is a ham? Say, Kid, there’s just one White Man’s Hope—K. Kukovitch’s the man. ❖ ❖ Who picks the guys that watch the bags and call the balls and strikes—the gents to whom we fans allude as robbers, yeggs and mikes? Who calls our Caseys to the bat, he’s keen for repartee—who told the umps an oculist he surely ought to see? Who hears our cries of “Shame” and “Fraud. and threatens much that’s dire, when Pitt’s dilapidated team comes ’round to rouse our ire? Who’s got old Busy Izzie’s goat, as round the town he hikes—to gather up some umps’ remains or quell ye players’ strikes? Who rules your team and gets your Pete, your Geary, Bucky, Wehr—a monarch of a mighty host—Dutch Grote. Baseball seer. •J «£� Who comes to us from distant isle of Johnny Bull Co.? Who’s here to make us write up notes—on screw threads doncherknow? Who makes us draw up bevel gears —and make them neat and trim—to prove that old man Unwin hasn’t got a thing on him? Who’s met ’em all across the pond and put ’em down and out? Who christened the Metise Key as soon as Hit came Hout? Who fishes up in Canada the live-long summer through—and comes back full of fishy tales, as fishers always do? Who fills us full of involutes and cycloids till we wail,—who calmly draws a circle that is perfect in detail? Who always has a walking stick, the best you ever saw? Bah Jove, old lop, you know ’im. Hit’s Follows, Haw! Haw! Haw! WHY THE JUNIOR MECHANICALS DRINK The Commercials Collect Statistics A LOAF of bread may be eaten by three of five persons. A great many loaves of bread will serve a great many folks. The United States is divided into five agricultural belts, namely: The first, second, third, fourth and fifth. The total importation of hand-made punchbowls in 1910, if made into one large bowl, would contain enough orange punch to float the total number of clothespins manufactured in Prussia. A great number of ordinary houseflies weigh a pound. If all the hot air produced in the last two presidential campaigns were collected in one balloon, it would raise the price of butter $3759.72 per pound. The consumption of Tech Beer is enormous. A pound can be divided into sixteen parts, each part weighing one ounce. Mr. Routh has estimated, from personally collected data, that all the coal hitherto mined in the United States would be sufficient to keep one square mile of Hell in operation for 19.2 years, including Sundays and holidays. Fifty-one per cent, of all the chorus girls appearing in Pittsburgh last year were knock-kneed. Junior Prom 1. Come to the ball $47.93 Taxi fare 2. Parisienne M. Ferrand 3. Enchantress She 4.

Always Happy, always gay. Running, jumping, basketball, (lames to pass the time away; After lessons have been studied, Regulations all forgot. Everyone is happy always, Though they sometimes say they’re not. Many hours and days they ponder Over lessons hard and deep. Rumors often run among them. Rueful tales of lost sweet sleep; Inestimable is the learning. Seeds of character arc sown; Only second. Alma Mater, Never less, to Home, sweet home. ALL the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and entrances; And a woman in her time plays many parts. Her acts being seven ages. At first the infant. Mewling and peeking in the nurse's arms. Then the giggling school girl, with her beribboned head And laughing morning face; dancing like sprite The last one to school. And then the maiden, Her thoughts one day-dream, demure in appearance And conscious of charm. Then the suffragette. Full of strange thoughts and afraid of no one. Jealous of her rights, venturesome in all her speech. Seeking woman's recognition. Even in Parliament. And then the matron Of sweet and gracious dignity. Ruling her home with foresight and thrift. Her thoughts on cookery, yet time for bridge. And so she plays her part. The sixth age shifts Into the capped and beloved grandmother. With spectacles on nose, and snow white hair, Noted as cook to all the neighbors' children. A friend to every one; and her sweet, high voice, Turning again toward childish treble, breaks And quavers as she sings. Last scene of all. That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion. Sans teeth; sans eyes; sans hair, sans everything. 5 1 A Mid-Year Night’s Dream After five days of exams. Junior Class First Scr.estcr Final. Fcbruember 1.28, 1719. (Note: Answer any ten questions) 1. Make a neat sketch of a three-cylinder compound-wound roof truss, giving loss in head due to polarization. Show how to determine by the law of contracts, the E. M. F. at each fish-plate, and the effect on the elastic limit. 2. Show that by physical measurement the wave length of violet light is not affected by introduction of a factor K; by whom? Is this true if we integrate by inverse squares? 3. The case of Payne versus Cave. A certain man X, whom we will call Y, owns an auction sale. Should judgment be given for Cave? Why should not the higher courts reverse this decision? 4. A three-wire transmission line has eight rivets in series. A steel ball impinges upon the friction clutch with a force of one ethyl acetate. Show: (a) The effect upon the absolute pressure. (b) The resultant in inch-feet. (c) The velocity of the molecule. (d) The personal error due to wind stresses. (c) Concisely. 3. (a) If the heat equivalent of a given grade of hard coal has a velocity of seven volts, why will it not and how soon? Will this equation be true in the case of sulphuric acid? (b) A liquid flows into a vessel with a constant axial torque. If the section modulus of the parameter be superimposed upon the 3th power, will the spring oscillate in simple harmonic motion? Will the roller bearings suffer any loss of kinetic energy? Make moment diagrams of both. THISTLE DAY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF SEEKS REFUGE “And there shall be weeping and wailing and the gnashing of teeth. : The Bum and the Philanthropist BEFORE the heavenly gate they stood, and one was portly and smug and “good;” the other was scarred by an evil life, warped by destiny, marred by strife. A crooked, unlovely soul was he. St. Peter said, “Brother, who might you be?” The warped one answered him, “Bill, the Bum, wot lived his life in a rotten slum; I fought an’ gambled an’ stole an’ swore, ’cause I thought that’s all I was livin’ for. I wasn’t no good, I know; but, say—I played the game I was taught to play. I done the way I was learned to do, so dat’s me spiel—an’ it’s up to you!” St. Peter juggled his golden key and said to the other, “Who might you be? The smug soul lifted his head in pride. “I’m a public character,” he cried. “I’m Jonas Gouger, Philanthropist. I’m found at the head of every list of givers to tender charity, and heaven’s the proper place for me. St. Peter nodded his august head. “I’ll add to that tale a bit,” he said. “You’re one of the men who ran a mill where children toiled through the weary day. You’re one of the sort who used to kill the children’s joy and their chance to play. Oh, you knew better, but ‘gold was good,’ though wrung from boyhood and maidenhood; you took it gladly for all its shame, knowing exactly whence it came. “Now, Bill don’t rank with the seraphim, yet I'd take a sort of a chance on him; but what excuse has a man like you? Bill learned no better, but you—you knew! So I’ll try Bill out for a little spell; but you, smug faker, can go to Hell.” The Modern Cleopatra ONCE there was a Maggie Murph who was a Real Live Winsome Winnie. She handed Out the Line of Soft Chatter to all the Sighing Swans of the Institute. They Fell for it Strong. Her Chest Protector was as full of Fraternity Hardware as the Family Pincushion. She was All to the Merry. Gentle Gertrude could Tickle the Ivories with one hand and Stir up a Chafing-Dish Crime with the other without Missing a Word. Every time she Rolled her Peeps the Male Population had a Sweat Hemorrhage. All the other Giggling Geraldines were Green with Envy. At the Terpsichorean Revels the Boobs of the He-Gendcr held a Mexican Revolution to see who could have First Throw at the Soho Struggle with the Princess. Every night her I hrone-Room had the appearance of a Y. M. C. A. Convention. The Mad Rush for Front Scats began at Seven, Sharp, and when She said “Bon Soir” to the Trained Troupe the Exit looked like a Knights cf Pythias Parade. The T rollcy I eamsters worked overtime hauling Pensive Percies To and Fro. One Day a Sad Prune with a Blood-Shot Cravat and Number Nine Foot Garments Loomed up and Lisped a Line in Sylvia’s Gush Receiver. Next day the mails were flooded with Wedding Bell Circulars and five hundred Disconsolatcs started on the Downward Path, wondering why such a Quecnic could fall for a Boob like I hat. Moral: “All Is Not Cood Thai Tillers.” A Fable in Slang o With apologies to George Adc. NCE on a time there was a Young Squirt who considered himself All to the Mustard after he had Pulled Off a four-year Guff in the Village Nut Factory and Got By with his Goat Skin. Hail to the Wise Guy amidst the admiration of his Female Relatives and Maiden Lady Friends. He wore the l amily Mop Coiffure. About this time Little Freddie began to Sit Up and Notice something besides the Sweet Young Thing that borrowed his Geography every afternoon. He had the College Bee. After three months of Gush Slopping, Fond Mamma gave up the idea of Boy Harold’s entering the Cloth-Bound following of Martin Luther, and Proud Papa brot his One and Only to C. I. T. to Startle the Faculty with his Double Acting Think Tank. Now, Willie was a regular Tinkering ommy when it came to fixing the Glims on the Parlor Chandelier, so he Doped out for Himself a Soft Snap in the Wizard of the Rheostat course. Willie had never seen a Campus, and of course he Ambled over to the Beanery with that Balboa expression of Oh, Look What I Found, on his Boyish Features. He gave the Sophomores present the Glance Askance and Pattered over to the Senior Trough to Nibble his Eclair alone. Poor Willie! As he Slowly Sauntered to the Foundry in his Sockless Pinkies, and gracefully Capered a la Annetta Kellerman, he Realized a Pang of Rueful Regret that he had ever left the Dear Old Free Lunch with Father’s name on the Door Plate.

A younger brother writes to the elder for advice on a very important project, which would have great bearing on the future life of the younger, and receives the following answer: For who may look and know and see The grinding hand of Destiny, And so direct his brother’s way From darkest night to sunlit day, From frozen shores of barren strife To flower lands of love and life?

Scotty, on his way to Camp Carnegie, chucked his valise off of the train at Glen-cairn, so that he would not have to carry it back from Carver’s Ferry. Wise Scotty.

Lord Henry (Wee Willie) Keeler entered the room of Duke DeMuth, Sir Scott, Patriarch Poague and Baron Brine in the Hotel Cadillac, New York, fully expecting them to return early enough to catch an evening train for Philadelphia.

He stubbed his toe on McGill’s bed one night and the result sounded like an old-fashioned Methodist exhortation (with the reverse clutch in). Me.: Holy Codfish! Querulous, plaintive, crescendo. Used in haranguing Kellar. French: Nothing doing. He attends Sunday school (?) down in Oakmont. Skinny Clair: Fudge-marine. We really expected better than this from our plunging left guard. The effect is too much as if the villain had leaped quickly backward. his hand flashing like lightning to his hip pocket, and then, when the hero was reaching for his smoke-box and every one else for cover, calmly pulling out his handkerchief and flecking a speck of dust from his polished silk hat.

MELODIES IN A FL T THE l3 b , SONG- AT THE HOME CONCERT. -Hc5 o.ifsTiqH NOIZAZJ W- Experiment No. 3 A. H. McGill, Operator. Purpose: Extraction of silver (in form of monthly dues) from Junior Mechan- icals. Instruments: A Colt’s automatic, thumb screws, handy billy, knuckle-dusters, or any other means of persuasion available; also powerful microscope to figure up results. Procedure: Specimen to be tested is caught as soon as monthly allowance arrives; then, using any of the forenamed tools as gentle arguments, the required amount may be cunningly seduced from his pocket-book (perhaps). Data: Amount collected in one week’s work, $ .02. Note: These fell out of Kellar’s pocket when McGill turned him upside down and shook him. Efficiency: Dues received Work done in receiving them Infinity 0 Results: None to speak of. Conclusion: Verily, I say unto you, it is easier to discern the mustache which raises certain Sophs to the seventh heaven of conceit than to separate a Junior from his lucre before the Prom. Editing this book is a nice thing. If we publish jokes, people say we are rattlebrained; if we don’t, we are fossils. If we publish original matter, they say we don’t give them enough selections; if we give them selections, they say we are too lazy to write. If we don’t go to church, we are heathens; if we do, we are hypocrites. If we remain at the office, we ought to be out looking for news items; if we go out, we are not attending to business. If we wear old clothes, they laugh at us; if we wear good clothes, they say we have a graft. What arc we to do? Just as likely as not, some one will say we stole this from an exchange. So we did. She: “She told me you told her that secret I told you not to tell her.” He: “The mean thing. I told her not to tell you I told her.” She: “I promised her I wouldn’t tell you she told me, so don’t tell her I told you.” Professor: What effect does the moon have on the tide?” M.M.C.S.

Johnston Studio Portrait Studio 241 Fifth Avenue 'Dept. of General Photography Empire Building XVII Valves that act quicker, easier and simpler than all others are HOMESTEAD QUARTER-TURN VALVES THE quick action is due to the quarter turn — the easy action is due to the fact that no nuts have to be loosened or unscrewed before opening the valve—and the simple action is due to both. For mining service, the Homestead Quarter Turn Valve is ideal. It is acid proof (the most important and vital feature of the valve) and is able to handle grit without destroying the seat and disk. Details of construction and service value arc contained in the Homestead Valve booklet. Ask for it. HOMESTEAD VALVE MFG. CO. Pittsburgh, Pa.
