GTOEGIE-%ll )TE: TECHW9IPGV' imBJRGH'RV LITE THISTLE 1914 TO THE LOVING MEMORY OF CHARLES RUSSELL HEWLETT WHOSE KIND DEEDS AND EARNEST THOUGHTFULNESS HAVE LEFT US WITH A BETTER TRUST IN THE HUMANITY OF MANKIND This Hook is Dedicated THE THISTLE 1914 Charles R ussell I Iewlett THE loss of Dean Hewlett, of the School of Applied Design, is a loss which has been bourne by (he entire Institution. It is impossible to make those not directly connected with our work, even dimly understand how much he meant to our life here in the school; how much help and comfort he gave us in our work. He took such an intense and unselfish interest in the aims and ambition of each one of us. He tried so seriously to understand our difficulties, and gave so much of himself to us, that even yet we do not realize the extent of our loss. Sonic of us had known him for five years, some of us but a little more than two months, yet all of us feel that we have lost a personal friend. He was wonderfully fitted for his position and his accomplishments were many, (though we never heard from him himself). It was perhaps his quiet unobstrusivc way of concealing these that commanded our great respect. We went to him in our many difficulties, and his careful criticisms, his valued opinions, his capable advice were ours to dispose of, and we came away feeling that if we had a friend in the world that friend was Dean Hewlett. IIis presence was an inspiration to us, his words gave us confidence and encouragement. He was a scholar and a gentleman—dignified in everything that he did—and yet he had the frankness and quick sympathy of a child. He is gone—but his memory will always remain, and the remembrance of his ideals and ambitions for us, of his quiet strength and courage will help to make our work easier—our lives better and broader. THE THISTLE 1914 THE THISTLE 1914 Greeting The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it had: to cancel half a line, A'or all your Tears shall wash out a word of it.” —Omar Khayyam. GENTLE Reader, ere you further peruse the contents of this book, think of these lines. We have sought to please you; we have sought to make you feel that this Thistle is all your own; we have sought to instill in our pages the spirit of the School and the love of our Alina Mater. To one our dedication has been made, but we lay the effort at the feet of all. Should any find pleasure in that which follows, the ones whose toil has been given will feel more than amply repaid.

Page Thirteen TIIE THISTLE 1914 Page Fourteen THE THISTLE 1914 Page Fifteen THE THISTLE 1914 To the Thistle THE death of Dean Hewlett constitutes the most grievous loss which this institution has sustained since its inception and I am deeply touched by the action of the editors in dedicating this year’s Thistle to his memory. As the years roll on each publication of the student annual will record tin incidents of student life which would otherwise be overlooked. 11 is from I lie most important events coupled with these incidents that there is to be developed the traditions which are to lie so powerful an influence in the future of Carnegie. The annual catalogue depicts the activities of the faculty but as we watch eagerly for the issuance of the student publication all arc impressed by the great socializing influence which are at work among the students themselves, and I am happy to be able to prophecy that before next year's Thistle is in the hands of its editors there will be located on the campus, at least temporarily, some place where student lib may find an opportunity to indulge in social intercourse to further cement the bond of friendship which association in the classroom cannot wholly accomplish. The student organizations have prospered exceedingly and the Director takes this opportunity on complimenting the officers and to express his deep appreciation for their constant effort to make the leisure hours productive. Sincerely yours, Arthur Arton Hamehschlag March 7, 1914 Puye Sixteen THE THISTLE 1914 Arthur A. Hamerschlag, Sc. I)., LL. D. Director. Page Seventeen TIIE THISTLE 1911 The Growth of the Institute THE year of 1913-14, the ninth in tin history of the Institute, has contributed rather more than its share in the way of extensions and changes that make for the growth of our Alma Mater, bast year's registration was ‘2798; for 1913-14 it is 3033. 1 lie faculty has increased from 184 to ‘203, and the number of students from foreign countries from ‘20 to 51. The total number of graduates advanced from 879 to 1087. Machinery Hall, the most imposing building exteriorly yet erected, has been completed. It is the ninth structure in a group which represents an average rate of construction of one building a year since our opening in 1905. A head-house for the Industries group of buildings is now going up, and will be ready for occupancy during the summer. It will house, for the present, the offices for the Director, Secretary, Registrar, Bursar, Supervisor of Equipment, and Superintendent of Buildings. It will also provide quarters for undergraduate and alumni activities, and for a lunch-room. The temporary affair, which has done restaurant services for several years, will be probably wrecked before next September. A new wing for the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School is also under construct ion. It will increase that school's floor area approximately fifty per cent, and will provide additional space for the departments of science, household economics and costume economics. The library and general study room will be transferred to it. New courses added to the curriculum of the Institute during 1913-14 include (1) a day course in drama, in the school of Applied Design; beginning September. 1911; a night course will be offered; (‘2) a night course in sculpture in the School of Applied Design; (3) a night course in printing in the School of Applied Industries; next fall a day course in this department will be scheduled; (4) a day and night course in structural drawing in the School of Applied Industries; (5) a four-year day course in general science in the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. No record of the year would be complete without mention of “Carnegie Day,” on November ‘25th, 1913. It was the first formal observance of our founder's birthday, and will hereafter be an annual event in the calendar of the Institute’s customs. Arthur V. Tarbell I’uije Eighteen THE THISTLE 1914 Arthur W. Tarbell Registrar Page Sine tee ii THE THISTLE 1914 THE Thistle blossomed forth in !!)()( , during the first year of the Institute, and was the earliest movement on the part of the students of the four schools to act as a unit in any organization. It is one of the few activities where this appears feasible, and the best evidence that student sentiment, after eight years experience, endorses this joint scheme of publication is the present excellent issue. There is a fable about a youth who was cautioned to grip the Thistle firmly. The record of this publication is a tribute to the successful efforts of the editors of the Thistle to grasp a delicate situation firmly, and to handle it so wisely, that as a result a greater number of students each year are showing their friendly interest by supporting the book. More power to the Thistle! William I Field Page Tirenty THE THISTLE 1914 Page Twenty-One William P. Field, A. B. Secretary. TIIK TIITSTLE 1914 Payc Twenty-Two THE THISTLE 1914 Pag?

For the future land is calling To the noble sons of Tech. “College life at best is passing.’ IIow little we realize I he real meaning of these few words, until we become dignified seniors and enjoy the respect of the underclassmen and faculty. We then begin to realize that at the end of the present school year we will graduate and scatter to the four corners of the earth. 'Hie Industry Class of 1914 entered school four years ago, most of us decidedly green. This made us “easy marks’ for the fun loving Sophs, whose great delight it was to get. a poor Plcbe down on his knees before an M. M. (’. S. and “propose to her, or to have him climb a tomato tree and bark at the sun. But in the course of time we became Sophs ourselves and, of course, made the incoming Plebcs just as foolish as we had been the year before. And now as life rolls on and we find ourselves to be seniors, we begin to look back over the past few years and wonder where the time has gone, for really it; seems only yesterday that we were innocent Plebes. At last we have reached the culmination of our college career and as we look around among us, we can point out certain individuals in our class who have become prominent in many of the school activities. There is More, Editor in Chief of I lie Thistle; Carney, a Sennachic man; Criswell, Captain of the basketball team; as well as Hall, Captain of the baseball team. So you see we have added our share of glory to dear old “Carnegie” and the Industry class of 1914 will go down in the book of Time as one of whom Carnegie Tech was proud to call her own.

Gray C. E. Adamson President Vice President Secretary 'Partan Representative HISTORY Ol R second appearance on the Tech horizon was marked by the warm reception given the Plebcs and the “getting together of the Middle men. With our officers elected, our plans laid for a new year, and our goal set before us, we put out upon the sen of learning. Our sailing has not always been smooth,—witness mid-year exams,—but at the same time we have not encountered any real rough weather. In the many school activities we have taken an active interest and have representatives in most of them. Looking back over our career so far, we can see where we have been lacking in many instances, but the past also reveals that we have always stood for a better and larger class; a larger interest in our college life and the installation of lasting love for our Alma Mater.

Stein President N ice President See. Treas. Historian HISTORY THIS class is more commonly known as the “Live Wires. and any one wishing to know why need only to look at their records. With the help of tlie different instructors, who have given their very best efforts, we have set a standard that will be hard to equal. But we do not always work. Several times we have laid down our books and devoted the evening to social affairs. The “Smoker” given by the Draftsmen was one of the biggest successes of the year and as all the night classes were present, the students were given a chance to become better acquainted. A night that will not soon be forgotten was when the “Thistle picture was taken. The photographer had us suitably arranged when without warning, he pressed the button of the electrically controlled Hash. The crash that followed was heard all over the school. It scared the class so badly that a tew have had heart failure ever since. But in spite of all the noise and damage, a very fair picture was secured. In conclusion, we wish to say that we have enjoyed a very successful year, and we feel quite sure that our class will distinguish itself in the years to come.

Si Nil ART N. E. Noble Carroll Kenney II. S. Hutchison President Vice President Secretary Historian HISTORY IT was with greatly depleted ranks that we mustered for our second enlistment in the army of the “Plaid. But this did not dampen the spirit of the faithful and true, “Tech Spirit. shown during the year was sufficient proof. The Mechanical Draftsmen, always a lively class, entertained the second year men at a banquet given at the Hotel Sehenley. 11 is needless to say that the evening was one of the most enjoyable ever spent. The Structural Draftsmen, not to be outdone by their rivals, also feasted the second year men. This was in the form of a “Smoker held in the Assembly Room, and the only regret was that the evening was not long enough, for with the boxing, singing, eats, and movies, midnight approached all too soon. To make matters even, the “Electricians are now planning to hold a “Smoker that will not only rival that of their opponents, but of any that was ever held. It has been our aim to make the class the most conspicious in the history of the school, and we are sure, that with the help of the different instructors, we will be successful.

The Industry plebes of 16, likewise, through undaunted spirit and congenial associations soon gained the admiration of their wiser upper-classmen. We began with enthusiasm that quickly developed into school spirit. In the plebe parade, and in the Design School basement, where we were held among the plebes of the other schools in an undressed and water-soaked condition; as well as in the plcbc-sophomorc contest which followed, every man displayed his willingness to take up Tech spirit with true loyalty. It was in the social activities of this class that we first experienced real college life, beginning with the smoker given the upper-classmen and the faculty. Numerous class gatherings followed, one of the most important of these was the swim held at the Oakland Natatorium. In the school room and on the athletic field, members have achieved results which are a credit to the class. Through the efforts of the president, the class is now organizing a water polo team which we hope will be the beginning of a new school sport. The class is yet young and full of promise, and we hope that when the next year begins, every member of this, the largest class in the history of the school, will return and as we become makers of history, we shall be able to look back upon the Plebe year as an important period in our lives. We shall always remember the many pleasant experiences and friendships we formed while yet members of the “common” class.

Hoffman President N ice President Secretary Historian HISTORY STARTING with one of the largest enrollments in the history of the school, the night class of lf)l.‘J launched on its four year cruise with a determination to make it the most successful ever attempted. Early in November a meeting was held in the assembly room for the purpose of organizing and electing officers for the class. Since that time the social affairs and gatherings have been rather numerous. The smoker given by the Alumni proved to be a very hilarious affair, and did much to arouse a feeling or comradeship throughout the classes. 'Phe next event of importance was the gathering to have a picture taken for the “Thistle” and this gave the different classes a better chance to become better acquainted, for every class was out in full force. We are now nearing the first port and we wish to thank the different instructors who have labored so faithfully to pilot us safely, through the rough channels, that we might continue our long passage uninterrupted. Page Forty-Sine lf J 1 4 School of Applied Industries—First Year Night Class THE THISTLE 1914 THE THISTLE 1914 School of Applied Industries NIGHT PREP CLASS HISTORY THE school year of 1913-14 witnessed (lie largest enrollment of the Night Prep. Class in the history of the school. The class convened October lltli. with an enrollment of 270 members. The standards have been raised in many ways by this year’s Prep. Class, especially in attendance and scholarship. The number who dropped from the Class were comparatively small, considering the size, as there were 190 students still on the enrollment at the close of the school year. Shortly after school convened it was decided to organize in order to create a deeper spirit and a keener interest among the students. On the evening of October 22d, the class met and organized, the following officers being elected; President. E. (1. Loughner; Vice President, Y. E. Lippincott; Secretary, (’has. X. Schnoer; Treasurer, E. Y. Froom; Tartan representative, II. Swanson; Class Historian, E. A. Longgood. On the evening of January 22d, the class held a smoker in the Dclph rooms of the Schenley Hotel. Dean Connelly’s interesting remarks and the Industry quartet! added very much to the enjoyment of the evening. On the evening of March 28th the Prep. Class held their final banquet in the Fort Pitt Hotel. Several very interesting remarks were made by members of the faculty and by the students themselves. It could easily be seen from the remarks of the students, that they would be heard of in later years, as men who were doing and developing things worth while along technical lines. At the close of the year a larger percent of students were expected to enter the School of Science as compared with the number who had entered during past years; thus the Prep. Class of 1913-14 will be remebered as a body of students whose motto was and is, to make good. Page Fifty-One 0MJ -tilflJ jf 'l School of Applied Industries—Night Prep Class THE THISTLE 1014 FIIK TIIISTLR 1914 Teachers’ College THE Teachers College is comparatively a new thing at the Institute. While its organization took place only two years ago, it already shows signs of rapid development. The prospects for the future are extremely promising. Thus far Tech has fallen far from being able to supply the demand for industrial and manual training teachers, owing to the great demand the industrial training movement has caused throughout the country. At present the Teacher’s College has students representative of nearly all of the middle and upper eastern states who are graduates of Normal or High Schools. Owing to the fact that the Carnegie Institute of Technology makes a specialty of technical training, it is especially well fitted to offer a course preparing men to teach in these lines. This largely accounts for the enthusiastic attitude the students take toward their work. Outside student activities are not a dead issue. When the Plebe class entered it was warmly welcomed at a Smoker at the Hotel Schenlcy, given by the upper classmen. The speaker of the evening, Mr. Krentzpointcr, of Altoona, Pa., a man well know in the educational circles, clearly pointed out the great need of industrial education in this country. We were much gratified to hear that Mr. Krentzpointcr believes that C. I. T. is filling a long fell want in the educational system. For the coming season, arrangements have been completed for activity in athletics. The interest thus far has been centered around swimming, basketball and tennis. Judging from the interest and co-operation shown by both student and faculty in regard to the teacher’s course, we anticipate a rapid advancement. We feel that our Alma Mater will always stand as a shining star in the cause of industrial and manual training education.

Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student (Government Representative. SKNIOK CLASS HISTORY MANY years ago it surely must l c more than four—we, the class of 1!)14, entered the portals of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. Being the enihryo of an illustrious class, we scorned entering anything so ordinary as doors. We spent the first few weeks in adjusting ourselves to our new environment, in which adjustment we were nohlv aided by the altruistic ministrations of the Juniors. The exact nature of this aid may be found described with much illuminating detail in the annals of any Plebe class. However, murder will out, and soon the school began to realize of what stulf we were made, when they saw with what success we started on our progress toward our present stale of perfection. Believing very firmly that physical development should precede mental, athletics became the chief object of our devotion. We soon had the champion basket-ball team of the school, and it was due to our efforts aided to some small extent by the upper-classmen, that the first May Day was such an unrivaled success. With the opening of our Junior year, we were able to realize the almost cloying sweetness of revenge. (I say ‘‘almost” advisedly.) We did unto the Plebcs, even so as we had been done by. Having duly shaped this mass of Page Fifty-Sine THE THISTLE 1014 raw material into some semblance of the form to which we hoped it would eventually attain, we started to decorate the gymnasium and disguise the lunchroom for the Junior Prom. Far he it from us, whose extreme hatred of ourselves has probably been already marked in this effusion, to speak unduly of that Prom. As a matter of fact, we find it unnecessary. That Prom, speaks for itself. After seeing that all the Seniors got becoming pictures taken for the Thistle, we ended the year in a blaze of glory by furnishing from our ranks the hero, heroine, and villian for As You Li he 11, not to mention two-thirds of the rest of the cast. As in all evolutions, so in that of Senior from Plebe, it is the fittest who survive. With the choice of continuing the pursuit of knowledge even into a four year course or of finishing up in three placet! before it, the class became divided against itself and great was the split thereof. We, who elected to stick, drop a tear at the thought, but only one, for the Thistle Board objects to blots. In short, once again we were Juniors, once again we gave a Prom, of startling splendor, and once again became the chief promoters of a Thistle. But enough of this. For a much more detailed and more interesting account of our first three years, let me refer you to the previous year books of the school—accounts compiled by scribes whose pens I am unworthy to wipe. To the finished product of these years, however, I will try to do justice. We have indeed (to borrow a word from one of our most beloved faculty) evoluted. During the whole of our school career, many things that are new have been tried on us and by us, even unto Student Government. And who, that looks on us to-day, can deny that we stand as living proof of the truth that it pays to experiment. Having tried everything else, we, to relieve the intense monotony, have spent the first semester of this, our Senior Year, in concentrated, undiluted work. The library became to us a home and the social whirl knew us no more. And as a fitting climax to this, we took our exams, for the first time per Honor System. What is even more astonishing, we flunked many a one, in spite of the fact that they fairly bristled with “pivotal questions resulting in active thought.” These “thought questions,” however, were not without effect, for we have spent the entire intervening time recuperating, and the present writing finds us resting up for the Senior Ball and Commencement. As the time draws near when we shall no longer think in terms of us, but of you and me, the Class of 1914 becomes less and less mif Class, and more and more finally altogether our Class. And oh, how we hate to think what a short time remains before the end! But deep down in our hearts, we know it is really not the end, but the beginning, of something bigger and better—something that we are going to face with hearts full of the things that make for success. How could we fail with the glorious achievements of such a class as our to live up to!

C. S. Junior Class History Listen, my friends, and you shall hear The record fair, of a happy year. The twenty-fourth of September, one nine, one three. We assembled as Juniors in I. M. C. Things new assailed us every day: We got down to work, and cut out the play. We had to elect what we thought would be best Suited to us. disregarding the rest. Into different departments and classes we went, The familiar back rows were labelled ‘‘for rent.” We put aside frolic, and all were free— To spend our evenings in the Librarec. We have toiled each day from nine until four; We have done our best: who could do more? We have sewed, and cooked, and criticized plays, Have done Chemistry problems, a hundred ways. We have done these things until we dream Of serving short cake with a little whipped cream; Of titrating acids with alkalis; And wearing high collars, with old rose lies. We pound the typewriter in our sleep. We hear the incubator chicks when they peep. We tailor our gowns in the latest style; And wonderful laces weave by the mile. This zeal is no dream; its reality Look in our classes, where you may see The Juniors, doing things like these, Working for Credits, abhorring “I ’s.” We have labored this year for a number of things: We have tried to decide on Junior Class rings; We have helped Self Government to win its fight; We have worked for Activities with all our might. We had been so good throughout the year, That we longed for a frolic unhampered by fear; So we gave ourselves up to a grand promenade With music the rarest that ever was played; And gay decorations we placed on the walls Of lunch room, and gymn, and adjoining halls; On dainties we lunched, Corrilie’s salad did eat— I tell you! “Our Prom.,” can hardly be beat! The time is coming when we must part. But each one knows deep down in her heart A cherish love there’ll always be For these days spent here in M. M. C.

Student Government Representative I’tuje Seventy-Seven THE THISTLE 1914 Margaret Morrison Carnegie School SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY AS a class we feel quite satisfied and proud as regards our past career, and for the future we have hitched our wagon to a star. We avenged ourselves gloriously for the indignities suffered as Riches, as early as last Spring, when we developed a basket-ball team that was well nigh invincible. Time and again the Gym. rang with rousing cheers for victorious team, and we easily won the new M. M. ('. S. banner which was the trophy awarded for winning the majority of games in an inter-class series. This Fall brought the majority of the class together once more, a little more spirited and energetic, if that were possible, than ever. Immediately plots began to brew, bubble, effervesce, and finally boil over for the proper and immediate reception to be extended to the Riches so they might once and for all be duly impressed with the honor conferred upon them in their admittance to M. M. C. S., and with the dignity and prestige of their superiors. Accordingly notice was given as to the wearing of the green and the laying aside of all forms of vanity for a certain period. Right here we must admit that the Riches of this year had the proper spirit and were worthy members of the school in every respect. They accepted the hazing in the spirit of fun in which it was given, and on the other hand we tried to make it of such a character as to avoid any hard feelings or real inter-class unfriendliness. A big informal party was given to assure them unmistakably ot our good will and those who were there will not forget very soon the hilarious good time they had on that occasion.

M. C. S.—Plebes TIIE THISTLE 1914 Margaret Morrison Carnegie School PLKBK CLASS HISTORY Ol'R introduction to each other, and to our sister classes, was an exciting, if informal affair. We found no difficulty in recognizing any one of our motley band, for the kindly Sophomores,for fear our first appearance at M. M.C. S. might be einbarassing to us, hospitably arranged a signal, by which our common indentitv would be known. The sign of the green hair bow! Then to show us how inexhaustible was their sisterly feeling toward 11s. they met us at the Woodlawn corner, and escorted us “bodily to school. Such a royal reception was quite past the expectations of the most of us, and any noticeable shyness or reticence shown, was excused, we hope, under the plea of surprise. The Juniors too, we thought, were most kind, although we wondered somewhat at the lack of unity between the requests uttered by them and by the Sophs. When the next week brought us back to school, wc found that we had to be introduced and become acquainted with an entirely different lot of girls, but our first impressions we are guarding carefully from the majority of our revered upper class friends. Then indeed began a rapid succession of new experiences. We were told we were Plebes. We were haughtily expelled from the wrong class room. Wc were made unalterably acquainted with prices of note-books, paper, and miscellaneous supplies. We learned, sometimes at the sacrifice of our dignity or pride, to tell the difference between a Senior—or maybe a Faculty — and one of our own classmates; and finally, as if we had not suffered enough, we were calmly told to keep out of the lunch-room till all other girls were served, Oh Misery! Misery! When at length we were throughly initiated into the business side of the school, we were most happily shown a social phase of it. The Faculty and the Seniors entertained us at a Tea. It was a lovely party. Wc learned the face that belonged to the name of each hitherto mysterious teacher. We heard— and sometimes remembered -the names of our awesome Seniors. Wc listened to delightful music, and we ate delicious eats, and came away thoroughly satisfied with our afternoon and most grateful to our hostesses. Then the Sophomores, not to be outdone and trying, we suspect, to counteract that awful first impression, gave us a Joy-party in the Gymnasium. We have all been to many circuses, but never to the equal of that! It was a decided success, and greatly did we appreciate it. And now half our year is gone. Wc will soon be leaving the ranks of First-year girls, and because of this we think we are qualified to give an authentic opinion of our school, which if we were asked to do, we would express in a rousing cheer for M. M. C. S.

Came one hundred maidens to the hall of the temple of the great King, which was erected by one Andrew Carnegie, that light might shine ever in the darkness, that the laborers by day should not be without the lamps of Truth. Lo, these strangers did come together and did cast about for their leaders. Behold their choice President Kathryn Hargraves; Vice President Margaret Gilfoyle; Secretary Irene McNulty; Treasurer Margaret Ubinger. As time rolled on these daughters of the first year night did acquit themselves right nobly. Happy are the people whose annals are few. But once did they depart from their serious undertakings, and did make feast in honor of their patron saint, even St. Patrick. With social and with dance did they do honor to this lover of the green. As they did approach the time of ordeal known as examinations many did fall from their number and were counted among those absent. Sickness, famine and divers other evils wrought great havoc among them. But bravely did the maidens meet their trials and tribulations and remain true to the course of Education, as do all true daughters of Carnegie Tech. Selah!!

After every semester exam, during our four years in Tech., someone (we discretely omit direct references) “took a few more Hunkers from them all” until at registration this year, only sixty of the old guard answered the call. The first duty of the year was that of lending our wise counsel and advice to the annual Soph-lMcbe argument. This was done with all the pomp, dignity, and ceremony that becomes men of our station in life; nor did we neglect such details as the demonstration of the art of properly eating the elusive ham—and— and the wiggling pickle of the dill variety. Having satisfied ourselves that our influence for good has permeated the very soul of the lower-classmen, we next turned our profound attention to the all-absorbing problem of the day,—namely, the installation of an honor system. In a most masterful manner we discussed, appointed committees, discussed, heard reports of committees, discussed, adjourned, discussed, and all that sort of thing. For months and months did we ponder over this grave question. At the end of the first semester the crisis came; then were we told by the faculty that we had been laboring under the honor system all term. Ah, the satisfaction we feel at having solved the mighty problem,—at having established for ourselves a mode of government—of the faculty, by the faculty, for the faculty. In celebration of this stroke of statesmanship we held our smoker. And such a nite! W hat senior will ever forget this masterpiece of Bacchanalean revelry? Following this, our time has been entirely taken up with our scholastic duties. Realizing full well the seriousness of life, the class as a unit has entered into tin spirit of work with all earnestness—even to attending class at times. As the end of the year approaches, we may be seen from time to time hobnobbing with this and that person in search of that elusive nitemare of life, A. Job. hen June arrives, we may gather in one of our old retreats and chant in unison the final stanza of the perviously mentioned song of tin bottle as follows: Sixty Seniors pretty near the wall Sixty Seniors pretty near the wall Grant a II.

Education consisting not merely of a knowledge of mathematics and mechanics, and a more or less intimate acquaintance with various textbooks, but rather a mental training which enables one to think in a broader and more individual manner. We have worked patiently and incessantly, but if our labors be crowned with success, it will be due in a great degree to the untiring efforts of our instructors, whom we have ever found to be patient and co-operative. That our path has been long and tortuous is evidenced by the few remaining veterans of our first matriculation. Six of eight, members of our present class can claim this honor, these constituting less than three per cent, of the number who essayed this arduous road to knowledge. The memory of those who unable to continue with us causes a feeling of sincere regret. Our losses were not confined to the first and second years, but have continued throughout the course even to the present semester. Considering these facts, it would seem that we, who remain, have been remarkably favored by circumstances. Regarding the future we will only say that we shall earnestly endeavor to demonstrate our worth, and if possible to reflect credit upon the Institute from which we shall soon depart. It’s influence, we hope shall remain with us throughout our lives, inspiring us to live in a manner consistent with its standard. We shall ever retain a sincere regard for the instructors who have labored so sincerely in our behalf, and a profound respect for the man, whose noble mind and unparalleled philanthropy are responsible for the conception and cxistancc of the Institute which rendered our education possible. To assist one’s fellow men is indeed a noble act, and is there a way, more effectual, more practical, or more lasting than to enable them to assist themselves.

'Phe Charter Class was made up of graduates from technical institutions such as: The Carnegie Institute of Technology Sheffield Scientific School of Yale Dartmouth Pratt Institute of Technology Federal Technology Schools of Switzerland 'Pile lectures were usually interesting due to the close connection between the subjects taught and the national current events. Business men from the city have a series of lectures on the up to the minute methods used in modern advertising and salesmanship. The maturity of the men taking the lectures, also allowing informality made the courses more attractive. 'Phis night commercial course has enabled men already specialized in the technical details of their respective professions to obtain broad business training suited to their needs. As a last word the class of 1914 wish to express their great appreciation to the faculty for their untiring interest and the great help which has been so freely given to us. Ix ng live C. I.

Kinch Tmjc One Hundred Thirteen THE THISTLE 1914 School of Applied Science JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY THE history of the Junior Class has since its appearance upon the 'Lech, horizon, been comparable to the “Charge of the Light Brigade.” A common enemy who, after they have been properly integrated between I lie limits of Dean I cete and the janitors are known as the faculty, have assailed us from all sides; pausing in their attacks only when the Director discovers that our Patron Saint has had another unrecorded birthday, which must be fittingly celebrated by much “heaving” and conferring of degrees on learned “savants,” who profess to be personal friends of Aristolc. Fierce, however, as have been these assaults of the faculty there still remain a chosen few who, seemingly possessed with the charm of life, bear fond hopes of some day being the proud poscssor of a degree. A short truce was declared in our battle for knowledge on the evening of February 20lh, during which we held the Prom. By order of Wilson, there was an extra polish put on the moon, and the taxi drivers, entering into the spirit of the affair, geared up their meters until they approached the critical speed, thus enabling us to squander countless dollars in the presence of our chosen maidens, attempting all the while, to look as happy and self satisfied as Billy Sunday would if one of the Science School faculty should have, by chance hit the trail. The Prom, in our estimation was the “Prom, of Proms.;’’ and why shouldn’t it have been, with the hall so tastefully decorated, and the music so good, and with dancing that lasted until four? Those of us who have sufficiently recovered from the previously mentioned celebration have once more resumed the Battle of Knowledge, hoping that Fate will spare us, and that in June 11)15, we may lie numbered among those who are to lie the victors.

This class, as most others, started with a force of numbers as its most apparant asset. It was at this time, the fall of 1910, that we assembled and kindled the flame of good fellowship and co-operation, which symbolized our intention to strive to place ourselves at the top and to retain as many of our fellows as possible until we reach our goal. Well do we know that it behooves every individual Tech man to boost his school if he, himself, is to have recognition. It was at the start that we selected our motto as a standard and we have always been guided by its moral. It was not long before we were aware that some of our number were not of the elect. Some looked too longingly at the pleasures and iniquities of the day to guarantee their remaining long in the fold. Others, industrious and anxious withal, could not endure the heavy strain which a night course entails. Then, there is the ever-working, never tiring. Dan Cupid, his darts thrown into a Night class are bound to wrought havoc. Yes, we have lost men by wedlock, but we still have men among us who, although they have entered Hymen’s gates, carry the blue card of the Science men. We have been reduced in number by eighty-five per cent, but the class which survives is real “class. “Still on it creeps, each little day at another’s heels and helps to shorten the distance to the goal.” The class has been diminished in numbers, but the Lit survive. Opportunities are rare. “I knock unbidden once at every gate, If sleeping wake; if feasting, rise; before I turn away,” and the class.of ‘15 is studying hard in anticipation of the chance to come. Rare indeed arc the hours afforded us for pastime and pleasure, yet there “must be time for play as well as for work” and so the year has not been without its slight frivolities to (’amp Carnegie, its theater parties, “eats” and other events. To the many who shall follow in our footsteps and shall strive, as we, to climb to the top of the ladder, we leave as a mile stone to show the way, the principle which is embodied in our motto and has cheered us on, “ The heights by a real men reached and kept Were not attained by .sudden flight, Hut they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upwards in the night.

Johnston President Vice President Secretary Treasurer l age One Hundred X inti ten TI1E THISTLE 1914 School of Applied Science THIRD YEAR NIGHT CLASS HISTORY LIKE Bellamy, the Third Year Night ('lass of Applied Science believes in looking backward once in a long while just to get some idea of what it has accomplished, and incidentally to count noses to see who has left the firing line. The class started to work, one hundred and thirty strong in October, 1911, but when October, 1913, had rolled around the class had dwindled sadly as only twenty of the original one hundred and thirty were left. What has become of the greater part of the aggregation of ambitious youth, one will ask, what caused them to fall by the wayside during the first two years of the engineering course? Some would say that Dame Pleasure tempted many of the boys with her wiles and thus caused them to quit the palace of learning for sordid amusements, but most of the fellows quit, without a doubt, because they did not know Newton’s three laws of Motion, Heat, and Analytics well enough. The twenty odd survived alike the temptations of pleasure and the fatal exams, and started to work with the “do or die spirit on October (� , 1913, but lo, when the smoke of battle had cleared away at the end of the first semester some familiar and friendly faces were among the missing. You ask—do we never have any social times? Oh yes! We held our class banquet on December ‘20, that was one glorious feed, we are not saying anything about the drinks on the bill of fare,—water, I suppose,—but most of the fellows waited for daylight in order to find the way home. 'Phis Third Year Night Class is afraid of the darkness unless it is in quest of an education. Seriously then, we, the Third Year Night Class, know, although we have gone half way toward the goal, that there is much hard work ahead of us, but we are of the opinion, individually, and as a class, that we can more than make good and thus be a credit to our Alma Mater.

Henning TO hear all the events which have happened to the class of 1!)1(� since it came into existence, would Ik tiresome to anyone except to those who took part in them. So from our storehouse of experiences we shall choose a few which will interest all of us. In our Freshman year the first item of importance were the annual games between the Sophomores and us. Here we completely outclassed the Sophs., and by winning the relay race and the baseball game we came out victorious. The next prominent event came in our Sophomore year, when we initiated the Plebes. For one long week the poor Plcbcs did not know what to do, and at the end of that time we had them so badly scared that at the annual games they did not have a chance. This time, we as Sophomores beat the Plebes. Then came one long monotonous grind, until the mid-year exams., when a few of us were compelled to dropout. Those of us who were left celebrated, and at the beginning of the second semester we had our Sophomore Banquet. Did we have a good time? Ask anyone who was there. Now our one hope and ambition is to get enough knowledge to pass the finals and come back next year for the Prom. t'tuje One Hundred Twenty-One OMX pjjpun l JUQ Pdr., School of Applied Science Sophomore Class THE THISTLE 11)14 THE THISTLE 1914 School of Applied Science SECOND YEAR NICIHT CLASS OFFICERS II.

So we, the class of '17 Night put ourselves to the task of recording our mighty deeds in the archives of Tech. Our ranks are somewhat depleted, there being but forty-seven remaining, but in justice to our departed brethren, be it said that they struggled hard. The journey had been a difficult one, fraught with trials and tribulations which beset the weary traveler on his way to the temple of knowledge. And in passing, we would give counsel to those who will herein-after follow our footsteps. Woe to the weak in spirit for just as surely as the sun docs rise and set, will they stumble. They will be haled before the High Court of Lcetc and be severely dealt with. Their names shall be erased from the Hall of Fame as our worthy instructor puts it “ 'Sno good. Rub it out.” Much have we accomplished during this last year. Periods of frivolity have we had. One event which we will long remember and relate to our offspring as we bounce them on our paternal knees, is that wherein we did gather for a feast at the bid of our elder brethern. The moon had just turned last quarter, and it was nigh on to Yulelidc when we gathered at a local hostelry. Then did we let loose our spirits (not liquid) and throw all our troubles to the four winds. Not till a late hour did we separate each man departing to his home as best he could. Our associations at Tech, have been the most pleasant. The joy and sorrow, sunshine and gloom of each has been common to all. The atmosphere of good fellowship which penetrates into every niche of our work is but a manifestation of that spirit which comforts, guides, stimulates, and encourages; that spirit which we call the spirit of the “C.

Orr aye (hie Hundred Twenty-Seven THE THISTLE 1914 School of Applied Science PLEEE CLASS HISTORY Ol R sulvcnl was heralded by shouts of derision on the part of the Sophs, and a feeling of doubt and anxiety on our own side. The life of the Plebe is a hard one at best, and the “blanket tossing” and other forms of innocent amusement by which we were forced to entertain the school at large during the week of registration, made us think that ours was a sorry lot indeed. Our pitiable condition was not improved by the fact that we came out second best in the contests with the Sophs on Field Day, but, with the burying of the hatchet, a feeling of amity was established, which has continued throughout the year. The Plebe Smoker, which was our first opportunity to show our school-spirit, and our ability as entertainers was a large success. The committee on Entertainment provided a program which successfully banished “dull care” and the thoughts of the impending exams, from the minds of all, and the supply of “eats” left everyone with a contented feeling as regards the “inner man.” Our number was slightly diminished by the “mid-years” but we, are determined to “make good” for the sake of our “Alma Mater.” Whatever discomforts we have received at the hands of the Sophs, we intend to pass on to the next class—increased fourfold is possible.

IF our dear readers ever read a previous issue of the Thistle, they must have wondered how the first year night class could have the effrontery to boast so much about itself. Possibly if was the folly of ignorance, but we are neither foolish nor ignorant, so we arc not going to boast. Here is one baby that does not crow, so we will give you a very modest estimate of ourselves. As students, we can scarcely compare our Class with those of former years as we have no knowledge of the others from which to draw our comparisons. It is enough to say that as a whole, it is exactly what it should be. The students arc those whom the organizers had in mind when the night work was inaugurated, and, particularly now when those without the courage or the desire to continue the course have renounced their work or signified their intention of doing so by their continued absence, they are of the kind that will benefit most by a course of this kind. They are hard working—they have to be, and they are one and all after knowledge. Their attitude is fundamentally different from that of the average day student. There is not an atom of pleasure in their course; there cannot be when the students work from eight to ten hours a day and then put in three more at their education, for every night is a school night when the necessary preparation and work outside of class is considered. Naturally, there is only one thing that holds them to this—a desire to gain knowledge, and since those in whom this desire was not sufficiently strong have now dropped out, the rest arc the kind of classmates which every one of us is proud to have. Notice our use of the third person. This is to prevent any possibility of of our readers getting the slightest impression that we think very much of ourselves. We must suppose that all previous night classes have had the same qualities as ours, but then, wc never knew the others. We have individuals galore, From our ninety men or more; Men of whom old C. .

We would scarce notice the fact were it not for the new faces and the absence of those whom we cherished and remember as true friends. The fact that the numbers around us have increased, does not at first seem apparent, so gradual have they come, but we must make way for progress and the world wide recognition which is fast growing upon us. The things that arc happening around us every day, only bear out the statement, that we move with the universe. With the sudden death of our most beloved friend and benefactor, Dean Hewlett, the entire school was plunged into the deepest mourning and sincerest regret. Few people outside our own school knew to what extent his greatness reached. Despite the fact, that he was known throughout the United States to be a master painter, a wonderful musician, and in all artistic lines, a clever man, yet it remains to us. his chosen few, to know his love and his philanthropy. It is his spirit that lives, his ideas that are materilizing, in the building and establishing of the only school in the country where all the fine arts are in one building. 'Pile music school which was started a year ago, has grown and thrived to its capacity. Its faculty has been enlarged, its numbers increased, and a Symphony Orchestra, which in a few months will know national fame, is ready for public approval. The Dramatic School, which began its career the second semester, is exceeding all expectations. 'Pile faculty which is the best, is to be complimented on the creditable showing they have made at such an early date. Our theatre and exhibition halls, the only ones of their kind in thiscountrv, are completed. That they are master productions, no one can deny. Every detail which has been worked out in their completion was originated in the “Shanty. The ceilings and wood carving are the most beautiful in America, and in order to get the best workmanship possible, masters were brought from across the water. Not only has our building increased iu splendor, but our scholastic standing has been raised to a much higher standard. We took second in the Warren Prize, something that has never before gone outside of New York. We were again placed in the Paris Prize Finals, besides receiving a large number of medals. Our illustrators and decorators are attracting attention to their highly creditable work. We are advancing so rapidly that nothing mortal can deter or stop us. On! On! is the word. Pmje.

Therefore we attempt to give a history rather than a eulogy, and leave our readers to judge by words rather than by words. Since our verdant year in Carnegie, the continuous struggle and our ever changing school curriculum has reduced our numbers about seventy-five per cent., and left us wondering, what next?—whether we will be seniors, plebes, or fired. This year has been a strenuous one. However, we have sometimes leaned back and watched the Sophs, duplicate the tricks learned of us, and we have given them such fatherly advice as their youth and inexperience demanded in the proper execution of their new position as keepers of traditions. The crowning events of the year were the Junior Prom, and the Junior Smoker. In the former we joined our classmates from the Engineer factory across the campus, while the latter was of our own invention, at which, with King Horncy,” we set a new standard of fellowship and school spirit that will go down in the annals of history. With three years gone by, we are now stepping on the last round of the ladder which we hope will place us in reach of the coveted sheepskin. We can look back over a career that has attracted attention from all sides, by its scholarship and fair play, as well as activity in athletics, music, society, and all the kindred joys of college life.

When in course of Human Kvcnls the summer had passed again, a few loyal sons of Architecture, Decoration and Illustration had again assembled to take up the study of their future career, (smoking cigarettes and telling stories). Don't think though, dear reader, that this is all we have to do. Xot on your life. For this is one of the busiest schools of Carnegie Tech. Now to talk serious. After a strenuous encounter we finally succeeded in getting a meeting to elect those beloved officers. After a great campaign a few were selected to lead the procession and we started off. Things floated along very nicely as a skiff on a calm moonlight lake until a great calamity befell us. Dean Hewlett our beloved professor was taken from us and now rests in that happy promised land. He was a favorite among those who knew him and was a distinguished Architect, Decorator and Musician. As time rolled on and the fellows received their mentions to sweeten the milk of their toils others were stung to make the lemon more sour. Still we plugged through many a eharette after charette. Once after a lucky strike we succeeded in having a meeting and various prospects of a great time were cussed and discussed. Sorry to say the music course has not as yet been taken in as a student body, yet we hope before the close of school wc will see them associated with us. for the sweet strains that float through the lobby as we pass by gives us hope and inspiration, and may success be their every aim. Charette! Who are you niggering for! This is one great way to show your loyalty to your fellow students and may we have hopes of some night man taking the honors of the Beaux Art Society. For what is this night studying but one great charette. So with thanks to all those who have helped to make this night school a success, wc hope and wish success will be with all those following us.

We take an amusing glance backward to our boisterous plebc year (the season of the red cap), and one forward to our future struggles. We would like to give a retrospect of last year’s frivolousness and a peep into the brilliant future, but let us confine ourselves to the past year. The intimate reception of the plebes was the important occasion at the first of the year. It took place in the basement of the new Design theatre, the chief amusement being the “Battle of Aqua Pure’ in which the plebes received the honorary decoration of “Wet. The late hour at which this reception dispersed caused great concern on the part of the Field Day committee, as most of the contestants of the plebe class attended. The Field Day exercises found some of our numbers on the winning lists. May there be more. What? Banquets! And there was. Our banquet was a great success, including the jovial Ilornbostel, who caused dismay to the newspaper reporters by his narrative of an “impossible kidnapping.” The institution of the “Design Barber Shops” (no fees) and the new office of “Barber” take place in this second epoch of the class history. The inauguration of this new institution was an expensive afFair. The memory of the ten dollar hair cut will forever remain fresh in our memories. The court of “Barbers” was another new innovation to the many organizations. Although its sessions were rather turbulent, it has always kept its decisions and may fortune preserve it so. Our sophomore year also marks the dedication of our new Palace of Arts; a building we are proud of. and which gives us many insprint ions. This closes the romantic year of our life at “Carnegie,” and may the influence and standards created in this memorable year pass on and instill into our future years a feeling of fellowship and reverence for “Carnegie Tech.” Page One llumlretl Fifty-Tiro THE THISTLE 1914 School of Applied Design PLEBE CLASS OFFICERS W.

Turned completely inside out, we marched in lockstep pce-rade to the woodpile. Aye, how well did our labors illuminate the athletic field on that first memorable field day. What we say here will not lx long remembered but history will forever recall the firehose shower bath in the cellar of the Design School theatre into which the all too trustful PIcbcs were lead for more wood for the bonfire. Having run the gauntlet of preliminaries we were forced to don the green button topped soupbowls, black lies and hose as signs of our station in I. T. life. The Design Plcbc smoker held in the “Beanery,’ proved that we bore no ill will toward the upper classmen and also that we could entertain, feed and smoke as well as all the true sons of Carnegie can. Design Plcbc life was not yet a long sweet dream for the faculty prepared some pretty still tests as barricades to further progress. Most of us were able to hurdle these obstacles and pass into the rigors of the second semester.

Dillenbacii Albert Colmkky Lester E. Griswold W. C. Bates THIS year has been an exceedingly busy one for the Officers and Board of Governors of the Association. All plans have been laid with the single purpose of arousing enthusiasm for the cause. This has been accomplished to some extent by getting as representative a Board as possible, having more smokers, publishing the bulletin more frequently, appointing members, not on the Board, on Committees and working up interest in the Fort Pitt luncheons. In December the Alumni Scholarship was divided between two members of the Junior Classes; one from the School of Applied Science and the other from the School of Applied Design. Smokers were held on December Gill, 1913, at the Fort Pitt Hotel and on February (5th in the Club Room of the Applied Science Building. To the latter affair the Senior Classes of the two Schools were invited. An informal dance at the Institute has been proposed as the next social function. The Annual Banquet will be held on Commencement night as usual. The January Bulletin was the first of the year. Other issues will appear in March, May and June, This publication will cement the widely scattered interest of the Alumni to the Institute. •Resigned.

Mack, ’13 SINCE tin first class in 1909 there have been 299 men graduated from the School of Applied Industries. Two big classes—the 1914 day and night seniors going out in June started the new year with an Alumnae Association still stronger numerically, with a fast expanding school spirit and with a quickening closer interest between graduates. For the Applied Industries Alumnae Association the year just closed has been a year of big things and of still more ambitious plans for next year and the years to conic. Two wide departures in Alumnae matters which were adopted originally bv the Applied Industries Alumnae were followed again throughout 1913-14 and with such continued success that they have become permanent fixtures. Senior classmen meet with the Alumnae for a full year before they themselves become Alumnae of the Schools. This plan not only softens the old time sharp line drawn between an upper classmen and an alumnus but makes a better alumnus because it makes a mail better acquainted with and more readily an active, helpful member of the Alumnae Association. The other departure—closely related to the first one—is that whereby the association holds four meetings a year instead of only the customary annual banquet—three other meetings besides the annual feast and election of officers. In October, when a memorable smoker entertainment and moving picture show was given in the assembly room of the Applied Industry Building, upper classmen, day and night men of the 1914 classes, met with the Alumnae. Again at the final quarterly meeting in April, the last meeting before the annual event the night of Commencement Day—the Seniors met with the Alumnae again. These joint meetings have been the most pleasant features of a pleasant year. A wide awake set of officers of the Alumnae Association with its board of governors has drafted a new constitution, systematized methods of keeping in touch with graduates and has done many helpful things which however, are only a starter. The greatest work lies before the incoming officers, who should far excel in results accomplished what their predecessors have done. The Alumnae Association is firmly planted now as an institution of the Applied Industries School—its future is up to the men of the future. Reserved for last mention is an expression of gratitude the officers of The Alumnae feel the association owes to Dean ( . B. Connelley and the faculty of The Applied Industries School. For our entertainments the Dean has been solicitous always that every accommodation the Schools should be placed at our disposal. And, what is still more highly to be prized, has been Dean Connelley’s counsel, and that of members of the faculty. They have acted in all things as one of us.

We may broaden the question a little, and ask: Are Inter-collegiate Athletics worth while? Mr. Courtney, the famous coach of the crews at Cornell, recently discussed the situation at a banquet of the Cornell Alumni and said that in his estimation entirely too much time, and money were being given to recruiting, and developing stellar athletes, and athletic teams; that our students were unable to keep up with their scholastic work, and devote the amount of time on the athletic field required by coaches in their desire to have the team attain the highest degree of efficiency. Such a statement coming from a man of Mr. Courtney’s experience is worthy of thoughtful consideration. If athletics are worth while, they are worth while for all of our students and should be controlled, nor tolerated; and it is only under proper supervision that they can be made a wholesome force among our students. If scholarship and the manly attributes which should be fostered on the athletic field are to be sacrificed for the winning of games, then inter-collegiate athletics should not be tolerated. Assuming that the benefits accruing from athletic training are worth the lime, and money spent upon them, then the opportunity should be provided for, and accepted by a larger number of our students. While we are not engaged primarily in turning out athletes, or athletic teams, we have every reason to expect that the calibre of our teams should be comparable with the educational standards maintained by our students, but this can only be accomplished by the close co-operation of faculty, students, and coaches. Our faculty have expressed themselves as being in favor of inter-collegiate athletics, and are willing to do what they can to make it possible for the students to complete on athletic teams, providing it does not seriously interfere with their scholastic standing. This is the only fair means of handling the situation in justice to the student, who is likely to be carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment, and become hopelessly out of the running in his scholastic work, before lie realizes it. It is especially true of plebes many of whom come from out of town, and have to adjust themselves to new living conditions, in addition. There is no question about tin fact that a man can compete on our athletic teams, and maintain his scholastic standing, for many of our best athletes have been our best students. But to do so a man must sacrifice many of the outside pleasures in which he might otherwise care to indulge. Such sacrifices and concentration of purpose however, are the higher things which make athletic training worth while. Every man presenting himself as a candidate for an athletic team, assumes the responsibility of making these sacrifices, and fulfilling such obligations is his duty to himself, his team, and his Alma Mater. .1.

Marks, Head Coach “Doe” We can’t say too much for good, old Doe. Not only was lie our coach but also our friend, in matters athletic, scholastic, and personal. His interest and enthusiasm as witnessed by I hose he taught, is well worth remembering. And lie may feel assured that the gratitude of Carnegie Tech, and of the squad are his. Earnest It. Cozens, Line Coach “Ernie.” Ernie was Doc's assistant and former team mate. Trained in the same school of football at old Penn., these two were ideal colleagues. And be it said much confidence was placed in the judgment of I he cx-Rcd and Blue captain. His pleasing personality gained for the former All-American center unusual popularity among the players. Page One Hundred Seventy-Six TIIE THISTLE 1914 Managers Frank II. Haaren, Manager A good fellow in every sense of the word. Always mindful of his team and continually devising means for increasing its efficiency, he did more than his share to make the season a successful one. He is a man of high ideals and set purposes, yet he is always willing to take advise and use it discreetly. Possessed of rare business ability, he gave the team every possible comfort without exceeding his financial appropriation. Frank L. Hownd, Manager Elect He is small, but then, its the little tilings that count, mid contrary to his name, lies always on the square. .4s second assistant manager this year, he made his presence felt. His schedule for the coming fall which has already been announced is in keeping with the new football policy adopted and furnishes a proof of the competency of next season’s manager. One Hundred Smnly-tiercn THE THISTLE 1914 The Varsity Edward L. Claih, Captain I eft Guard “Skinny Me goes by the name of “Skinny.” hut wliats in a name. With “Skin in the lineup the team knew at least one third of his side was well taken eare of. Not only in football has he shown his athletic prowess, hut also in track, of which team he was likewise chosen captain. We all know him to he a good student, a loyal Carnegie man, and a “Prince among fellows. W. Frank McCaugiiky, Captain Elect, “Mac” Fullback McCaughey is the man who has been chosen to follow in the footsteps of his fellow guardsman, Clair. “Mac is a favorite of the fans, popular with the team, a gentleman, and a leader of men. Carnegie will watch her next years captain as it. has in the past and undoubtedly as hcrc-to-forc, will always find him in the thickest of the fray. He proved himself a tower of strength to the team and an inspiration to his fellow players. Puye One Hundred Seventy-Eight THE THISTLE 1914 Raymond L. Fulmer, Left Tackle “Fat” Built close to the ground, with the legs and tenacity of a bull dog, and in the game from start to finish. Such is our remembrance of Fat, otherwise known as Night Owl. lie was one of the two men on the team who played throughout every game. William F. Welch, Right Tackle “Bill ’ The other of our dependable tackles with the record of never having missed a minute’s play during the entire schedule. Also our Bill is pretty tough. Only once in the history of his football career was time called for his benefit, and on the next play it was called for his opponents sake. He is quiet, unassuming, but there with the goods. Page One Hundred Seceniy-Xine THE THISTLE 1914 Wallace 1C. Rukkr, Right End “Wally” Rurke came to us from Cleveland with a reputation which lie more than lived up to. Few of the members of I he team had the spirit of “get the other fellows goat” in the same certain fashion as Wally. Another claim for attention which must not be overlooked was his ability to keep his feet, as vouched for by some of the feminine element in the grandstand. Willard W. Lauer, Left End “Curly” Curly was playing a star game when misfortune overtook him in the shape of a broken shoulder. It was a great satisfaction to all to know he played in enough contests to earn his letter. One of the fastest men on the team as well as one of its surest tacklcrs, he is looked upon as one of Carnegie’s stars-in-thc-making. Page One Hundred Eighty THE THISTLE 11)14 Harry I). Balsinckr, Itight Ilalf-back “Bally” After a year’s absence from I lie squad “Ballv” came back with a vengence. His work at half was one of the bright spots of the season and his ability on the defense as well as the offense made him one of the team’s most valued members. Above all let us not forget his popularity as “The Lord High Relator of Stories, ' for the Training House. llivNRY II. Krkidrr, Left Half-back “Dutch” Before we had a chance to sec him at work, our sense of sight, was somewhat paralyzed by the gaudy color scheme of Dutch’s jersey. But that was soon forgotten when his ability began to manifest itself. Always there with the fighting spirit, he was never discouraged. He became proficient in the starting of the forward pass so that much of the offense was built up around him. Page One mill red Eighty-One T11E THISTLE Harry Oakes, Left End “Rebel” Rebel was the boy who asked the coach at the beginning of the year if he could report for practice. We must admit he is little and light, —but “oh my.” llis chance came in the Westminster game and the way he took care of his end was a delightful surprise to the coaches and rooters. Unfortunately Rebel is a Senior and we regret that this first year of Varsity football will be his last. Gut W. Vac. an, Center “English” Vagan's fame will always precede him for he it was who, during a class game of I he previous year, reproduced Casey's immortal act of running toward his own goal line. Guy's work that day however, convinced the coaches that he was of varsity caliher and all can vouch for the consistent manner in which he played in spite of ill health and physical sacrifice. Vuyc One II mill red h'.iyhly-T iro THE THISTLE 1914 James E. Kesner, Quarterback Sunny” So named perhaps because of his resemblance to Sunny Price of W. J., but also because of his disposition. He was a bard man to down, and from the bottom of the scrimmage heap, lie was usually the first to regain his position. He directed the team with such excellent judgment, that after several games, lie was praised even by his bewildered opponents. Edwin McDonald, Quarterback “Little Mac” The smallest man on the team and one of the most consistent workers. Out for every practice and heedful of his coaching. Little Mac, though handicapped by lack of weight, showed by his ability to judge and direct plays that he was entitled to the recognition he received as quarterback. Page One Hundred Eighty-Three THE THISTLE 1914 Hkkukrt E. IIellstrom, Center “Whitcy” Wliile.v from Wheeling was one of the popular men on the squad. Burdened with the responsibility of a reputation he had nothing to do but uphold it. As a center, he was most reliant, always getting his passes off quickly and accurately. In addition, he played a star defensive game and we are more than pleased to know Whitey will be in our midst for several years. DeFohest L. Trautmaw Right Guard “Gunboat” “Gunboat” is our hard working representative from the navy. He has been one of the most consistent fighters on the squad for two years. Although he did not succeed in making his letter upon the first attempt, he easily exceeded the requirements the past season. With two years still before him, Gunboat gives promise of developing into a great guardsman.

Field Page One Hu ml red Eighty-Fire THE THISTLE 1914 Review of the Season NINETEEN thirteen could not bo considered a successful season for the football team, in that it did not bring victory to our colors in most o the games. Of the seven that were played, we won but two and tied one, giving us an average of .333. Judged by the critical standards under which a team must win every contest to be successful, our eleven was a failure. During the past eight years, sixty-seven games have been played. Of these twenty-one were victories and five resulted in ties. Judged from this angle the season was just a normal one for Carnegie Tech. It was the accumulation of the eight years, rather than tlie whole or any part of last season’s results that brought about a proposal to abolish football in this school, a suggestion which has since been voted down. The 1913 team was not responsible for more than an eighth part of the feeling of dissatisfaction against the gridiron sport, and cannot be blamed for more than its own errors. In only one contest was the team in any way reprehensible. As is usual, it was outweighed in most of its games, but put up a courageous light against odds, and emerged unbeaten in spirit. The first contest was the hardest of the season. It was played at State College against Penn State, on October 4th, and resulted in a defeat, 49 to 0. The Carnegie team green and untried, was scored on twice in the first period. In the second quarter it fought the heavy State eleven to a standstill, but lost ground in the last half, being forced back by sheer weight. The remarks of the State coach that “Shorty” Miller played the best game of his career that day, can well be believed. The result was disastrous from another view point for five of our men suffered injuries which handicapped them later on. The following Saturday, October lltli, the team met and defeated Waynes-burg, on Tech. Field, by the score of IS to 0. The game was played in a drizzling rain, but the home eleven romped around the (Ircenc County players almost at will. The slippery ball spoiled the chances for a higher score which would have emphasized more clearly the superiority of the Plaid combination. Page One II it ml ml Kighl) -Sir THE THISTLE 11) 14- Tlie next context, against Geneva, at Beaver Falls, was one of those inexplicable cases of a team’s going to pieces before a weaker aggregation. With everything in its favor, the Carnegie eleven allowed its opponents to walk away with the game, 28 to 0. The following week, on October 25th, the team showed the lapse had been only temporary, and won from Grove City by the score of 7 to 8. The visitors made their field goal early in the game but were outplayed during the rest of the struggle. Rain and mud proved a handicap to the light Techites, preventing more than one touchdown. The fifth game, with Westminster on the home field on November 1st, resulted in a scoreless lie. Westminster threatened to score a touchdown in the third quarter, but failed, while Carnegie made two unsuccessful tries for field goals. Once more, on November 8th, mud asserted itself and played an important part in the contest. Allegheny won 17 to 0 after a hard light. The game was featured by the defensive playing of the light Carnegie team, which failed however, to display any strength on the offense. A game had been scheduled with Bethany on Tech Field for November 15th, but it was cancelled out of respect to the memory of Dean Hewlett. The season closed with Ilaverford as our opponents. They started out as if they would have little trouble in winning, but a second-half rally on the part of the Plaid team made them play on the defensive to save the game. 'Phe final score of 10 to would no doubt have been in favor of Carnegie if our team had been provided with a stronger attack. The criticism of the final game has been applied to the entire season,— that the team played on the defensive too much and lacked “the punch.” This cannot be laid at the door of the players; they did as they were taught. Nor was the fault put upon the coaches, for Dr. Marks and “Ernie” Cozens were earnest, efficient workers who gave the men the best of teaching in their ability. Other considerations being put aside, the system of play has been criticized, and a remedy has been found for next season. Walter P. Stcffins,—a pupil and later an assistant of one of the most aggressive teachers of the game, Coach Stagg, of Chicago,—has been engaged as coach for 1914. This means that a new style of play will be introduced at Carnegie Tech and better results are expected in the future. Captain E. L. (’lair proved a good leader last season. He was one of the most consistent players on the team and was responsible for a large share of the credit that came to his band. He was followed closely by Fulmer, Welch, Burke, Balsingcr, Kcsner, Kreider, and every other man that worked under his leadership. Page One Hundred Eight y-Scrrn THE THISTLE 1914 Frank II. Ilaaren handled the business affairs of I he team better than any manager that has been in charge for a number of season. lie was responsible for the establishment of a training table for the Varsity men, a feature that did much to keep them in good health and spirits. All of the other managerial duties were ably and efficiently taken care of. In these he was given good support by Assistant F. E. Davis, and Second Assistants F. L. Rownd and R. H. Henning. Dr. Marks sacrificed a great amount of time and personal effort in again volunteering his services as coach. He was, as in the previous season, assisted by his old team-mate, E. R. Cozens. The work of both men was deserving of much better results, and the entire Institute is sorry that their duties will prevent their working with Coach Steffins in 1914.

It has the distinction of being not only the most successful team of last year but also the best aggregation that has ever battled for Carnegie on the diamond. The season was especially featured by the development of no less than four star men who played their first year of Varsity baseball. They include Horr, Lobert, Lain and Hines. Before many games had passed into history, the veteran battery of (’arts and Welir both of whom graduated last June, was almost forgotten in view of the ability shown by the new battery of Horn and Lain. While statistics may not seem to indicate as much, the former’s pitching was one of the main factors in the team’s success. lie was ably assisted by his partner Lain, who after the first game, did not miss an inning behind the bat. To Lobert, a brother of the famous “Hans” is awarded the honors in batting. He was the “Clean up” man in the line-up and justified his position by hitting at a .40.) clip. The quartet of players mentioned above is completed by I lilies who was not discovered until the season was nearly half over, (’ailed upon one day to take a turn in the pitcher’s box when no one else was available, lie proved his worth and finished the year without a defeat. Although much has been said of the new men, the work of the veterans has not been overlooked. Especially on the defensive, the team had an excellent leader in Captain Gearhart who played short stop and its adjacent vicinities. Out of sixty-three chances in fielding, he accepted all but two in faultless fashion. Vail in left field, Moorehead at first and Hall at third base were the others who served with Captain Gearheart on the 1912 team, and all of them maintained their reputations by performing in their usual consistent manner. Brine at second base, Kirk in right field, and ITquhart as pitcher returned, after a year’s absence from the nine, to round out a well balanced combination. The team as a whole was stronger in fielding than in batting and sufficiently good in both to mold the excellent record of ten victories with but four defeats, one which as previously stated, is the best attained by a Carnegie nine. Several men will be lost this year, but a large enough number are left to insure another good team. “Rabbit” Hall earned the election ot captain by his all around playing. Manager Routh following the example of his predecessor cx-Manager Grotefend, has arranged an attractive schedule for this spring. By resuming relations with Pitt and Y. J., Carnegie will have an opportunity to compete for the section intercollegiate championship, a title which the wearers of the Plaid have bright prospects of winning.

The first of these was a change in the coaching system whereby C. A. Dull, the former Michigan Captain, was placed in charge of the team. Too much credit cannot be given him for the manner in which he attacked the difficult problem of rounding out a balanced team with a nucleus of but three Varsity men, and the record made, mediocre as it may seem, argues well for the future of the Dull system. Considering the personal makeup of the team, Captain C. M. Crawford stood out prominently as the best individual point winner. His events were the high and the low hurdles, the quarter mile run and the relay race. Closely following him in number of points scored, were Hasclton and right, both of whom are possessors of records made during the 1913 season. In the dual meet with Allegheny, Ilaslcton lowered the Western Pennsylvania inter-collegiate mark for two miles by running the distance in 10:26 minutes; and in the intercollegiate meet at Westminster, Wright broke the school record in the pole vault when, with Patterson of Geneva, he cleared the bar at II feet. II. Murphy and King with Wright took splendid care of the high jump, often preventing opponents from securing a single place. Mayor, competing in the 220 yard Page One Ihnulreil Xincly-Xinc THE THISTLE 1914 and 440 yard dashes, was Tech’s best sprinter. F. Murphy did good work in the 220 yard dash and broad-jump at the Westinghouse indoor meet, winning both events and thereby his letter. Captain-elect Clair, Tech’s only representative in the weight events, excelled in throwing the hammer and landed several firsts. Patterson earned the coveted “C” by winning the broad jump in the Allegheny meet and Simpson defeated his team-mate, Ilaselton, for a first place in the two mile run in the Westminster meet. The management of the team was in the hands of Parry, who executed his duties in a capable manner. The schedule consisting of two indoor and three outdoor meets, proved to be well adapted to the team’s ability. The indoor season opened in a very auspicious manner with the V. M. ('. A. meet at Exposition Hall on February 22d. As far as colleges were concerned. Tech made the largest score, winning over Pitt by the narrow margin of one point. The other indoor meet, a dual encounter with The Westinghouse Club, on March 22d, was won in much easier fashion by the score of 52 to 34. The victory evened the series between the two teams, Westinghouse Club having been victorious the previous year; and left the permanent possession of the Smith trophy to be decided by the result of the If) 14 meet. The outdoor season was opened on May 17th with a dual meet against Allegheny College on Tech Field. The final result of 74 to 57 in Allegheny's favor does not indicate the closeness of the races. We lost through our inability to place in the dashes and weight events. The team displayed its best form in the inter-collegiate meet at Westminster in which Westminster, Geneva, Grove City and Tech competed. The Plaid representatives placed in every track event in which they were entered and were among the winners in three of the field events, winning the meet with a total of 52 points against 41 for Geneva, 31 for Westminster, and 11 for Grove City. The season closed with a defeat at the hands of Penn State at State ('ollegc on June ! . Though the score of 1)3 to IS was rather one-sided, the majority of the races were closely contested and in two instances, new records were made by State men. The track team’s work as a whole may be briefly summarized by citing its record of three victories and two defeats. After the Penn State meet K. L. ('lair, ’14, was unanimously elected captain of the 1914 team. Of those who did not graduate last June, he is the oldest member of the squad in point of service and deserved the title conferred on him. lie should make an able leader of a winning team. Page Two Hundred THE THISTLE 11)14 Cross Country Review TIIE organization of a cross country team was undertaken in a systematic manner last fall. Coach Dull of the track team was also secured lor tin long distance runners. That the results obtained were most satisfactory is proved by the showing the team made in the one scheduled meet, held under the auspices of the Crafton Athletic Association on thanksgiving Day. Competing against Penn State, V. J.� and Pitt, Carnegie won the team prize. Every one of the ten Tech runners that started finished the six mile course. Captain Ilasclton was the star, running second out of a group of forty entrants, MacMillan was a close third, and with Campbell and Ilandlcman who finished eleventh and twelfth respectively, made up the victorious quartet. 'l'lie schedule was limited to one meet because of the lack of teams among the colleges in this vicinity. Next year it is hoped a greater number ol races may be provided for the cross country team which, with the exception of MacMillan who graduates, will remain intact.

The cause of this popularity is the rapidly improving quality of basketball produced by our teams, and in this respect the 1914 team compared favorably with the rising standard. The opening of the season found Captain Criswell, ex-Caplain Colvin, Tumpanc, Douthett and Hines, all letter men of the previous year, in line to recapture their regular berths. Mothcny and Ileisel alone were lost from the 1913 team. Moreover, Henning, Levy, and Savage from the scrubs were available to (ill any vacancies that might have occured. When the opening game took place, the first five mentioned players were found representing the Plaid against our ancient rivals, Pitt. Our boys seemed dazzled by the name and lacked confidence during the first half. This fact combined with an undue number of hard luck shots at the basket, proved loo much and Pitt was returned the winner by the score of 32 to 23. The following night Juniatta was met. Again 'Lech was humbled after having the game apparently won. The Plaid then journeyed to (Ionova and succeeded in downing Park, Mothcny, ct al by the score of 30 28 in an extra period of time. One of the high water marks of the season was reached the next week when Marietta, Juniatta and Penn State were played on consecutive nights, the latter two away from home. Just at this time, an injury to Captain Criswell deprived the team of the services of its diminutive leader, whose ability more than overbalanced his lack of size. Marietta was defeated at the Field House, but Juniatta and State succeeded in taking our scalps. The boys showed the true Carnegie spirit in all of these games but circumstances were not to be denied. A southern trip to Bethany, West Virginia was then made. Here difficulties of a different nature were encountered. Due to some noil-prearranged agreement the team was caught in a terrific snow storm and did not arrive at its destination till nearly nine o'clock. After dressing in a dormitory, situated about a quarter of a mile from the gymnasium, and doing a cross-country run in basketball uniforms through two feet of snow, 'Lech showed Bethany how the floor game should be played and succeeded in earning another victory. The second climax of the season was reached when drove City, Allegheny, and Pitt were met on three successive nights. Again history repeated itself. We won the opening game of the series by an overwhelming score and lost the next two. Not discounting Pitts victory in the least, we believe the result would have been reversed had the latter team been met first instead of last. The final contest to date of writing, was played with Muskingum at home. After recover- Pugc Tiro Hundred i'icc THE THISTLE 1914 ing from the strenuous work of the previous week. Tech displayed a return to its true form and administered their opponents first inter-collegiate defeat of the winter. In summing up the results, the question naturally arises: Has the season been a successful one? If we consider it from a materialistic point of view as to the matter of winning games, it is doubtful if an affirmative answer can be given. So far, five games have been won and seven lost, with four remaining to be played, the majority of which we should be able to win. But on the other hand, let us consider the matter from the point of personal rather than of collective or team victories. The primary purposes of college athletics is to teach the student to overcome the obstacles that may occur in his later life, to teach him to play life’s game fairly and in a sportsmanlike manner. What difficulties have we not encountered and what difficulties have we not overcome? Who can dispute the integrity, the fairness and sportsmanlike attitude of Carnegie’s representatives in baskbetall as in all other sports. These are the victories that we have won and that go to make the season of 1914 a success. Manager Wright Page Tiro Hundred Six THE THISTLE 1914 Tennis Review FROM a record breaking number of candidates Captain Doulhctt selected an excellent team consisting of the following men who received the tennis insignia T. C. T.: E. E. Duff, George Douthett, A. 1). Beeken, John YY. Savage, and William Miller. A schedule of six matches was arranged by Manager Beeken but, on account of rain two of these were not played. A stormy and backward spring not only interfered with the schedule but prevented the men from getting into their usual playing condition. It is largely to this weather condition and the lack of courts on which to practice that most of the seasons defeats may be attributed. 'The season, while not a pronounced success, was not as bad as it seems, for one will notice that out of 24 matches our team won 11 and lost IS. Four of the five varsity men will be back this year. Two substitutes and half a dozen of the “commers” arc also available. With Douthett again captain there is no reason to fear for the season of 1914. Carnegie is improving in Tennis as well as in other sports. RESULTS Grove City 4 Carnegie 2 Penn State 4 (’arnegic 4 W.

And they are five feet. two. Another player still I see. Play with eager, dainty care She is so very small She slips or slides in any where Jump she can. and guard you. too.

Hoping that it will land I'pon that charmed spot And raise the score upon the wall Who is this tall swift player? She’s the oldest one of all. Beyond her the noblest. The most efficient guard. I plainly sec her jump for “It” And come down firm and hard. She plays a game we like to see; Her guarding is supreme. Other forwards don't forget her She’s the night mare of their dream. Who is she who takes her time. And really never worries; Who plays a rather decent game And yet she never hurries? Who came to help the juniors out With a spirit that is fine? Who’s forever making fouls. Because she leaves the line?

Siieldon President Treasurer Secretary ALL non-athletic activities come under the supervision of the Committee on Student Activities, which consists of two sub-committees—a Board of Delegates, composed of the officers of the various student activities concerned, and a Faculty Committee of three members, one from each of the three men’s schools, with Mr. Field as Chairman. All new business originates before the Board of Delegates, before whom come all requests for money. Upon the joint approval of the two committees the petition is granted. All questions of student eligibility arc handled solely by the Faculty Committee. No non-athletic activity is allowed to use the name of the Institute in any official or public way until it has received recognition from the committee. 'Phis recognition is of two grades: The first, grade carries with it the privileges of using the name of the Institution in its title, which is granted only after the organization shall have filed with the Committee a copy of its consitution setting forth its purpose, conditions of membership, and agrees to give the Committee the names of its executive officers. The second grade carries with it the privilege of petitioning for money from the Student Activity Fund, under the conditions governing such distribution, and of electing a representative to the Student Board. No organization can be considered as of the second grade unless its membership is open to members of all classes in any one school or one class in all the schools. The fund to operate these activities is created from an activity fee collected at entrance, from the students, amounting to $1.00 for each Day student, and 50c for each Night student. At the present time the clubs of the second grade are as follows: Thistle, Musical Clubs, Band, Orchestra, and Radio Club. Each year these organizations become more nearly self-supporting. In order to give the student body a larger representation in non-athletic activities it is probable that in the near future these committees will be so re-organized as to accomplish this result. Page Tieo Hundred Seventeen THE THISTLE 1914 Margaret MorrisongCarnegie School STUDENT ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE NTIL tlie fall of 1912 the Student Activities were controlled by a Faculty Committee but in that year it was decided that a Student Board should he formed which was to take upon its shoulders the supervision of the financial affairs of all the Student Activities; subject to the approval or veto of the Faculty Committee. This plan was tried and succeeded so well last year that it has been adopted permanently. There are now two separate bodies: first, the Faculty Committee .appointed by the Dean and composed of six members -Mrs. Yermorckcn, Chairman; Miss Dcmarest, Secretary; Miss Lvon, Miss Ernst, Miss Collett and Miss Patton. This committee once every two weeks on Tuesday afternoon, at which meetings a final decision, favorable or unfavorable is returned to all requests presented by the Student Board. Second, the Student Board which is made up of all the presidents or managers of the different organizations. This Board appoints a Treasurer from one of its members and appoints an auditor from the student body. The auditor is not permitted to hold any office in any other activity. This Board has change of all the finances of the Student Activities Fund. 'l'lie purpose of this Board is to develop the sense of responsiblity, of power to organize and direct, and the power of initiative. It is the hope and the desire of the Faculty Committee that the various activities shall become self-reliant and develop the talents and capacities of their members.

The association has been formed with the hope of strengthening among the girls a sense of loyalty toward the school and toward each other. Page Two Hundred Nineteen TIIE THISTLE 1914 The Student’s Advertising Bureau TIIK Student’s Advertising Bureau, responsible to The Student Activities Committee and under the direction of an under-graduate manager, secures advertising for and publishes the various programs, handling also any other matters pertaining to such publications; its function as concerns the Thistle lies in the relief of The Board from the necessity of soliciting advertisements and of making the subsequent collections. The proceeds from the operations of The Bureau are divided on a percentage basis, between the organizations which the publications represent, and The Student’s Activities Fund. The results of The Advertising Bureau’s work during the past three years have fully justified its existence. The net returns to all publications have been substantially increased and the centralized system of soliciting advertisements prevents conflicting calls on business men, in consequence of which, a much better feeling toward Carnegie publications has been noted. Further, the solicitation of advertisements has been the work of students instead of, as before the organization of the Bureau, by outside men who arc not interested in Carnegie Tech; this has resulted in a further increase of confidence by contributing firms. The following men have been associated with the Student's Advertising Bureau this year: G. Guy Kelcey Manager Arte M. Starling Assistant Manager Fred E. Sciiuciiman James P. Tumpane Edwin S.

Hard work was begun from first by both clubs with the result that an excellent program was in readiness for the first concert, at Tally Covey-At The I’niversify Club, after the concert, the members of the clubs were guests at a dinner, at which Mr. Ilornbostel and several other University Club members were present. The Eric and Warren trip, made during the week between semesters, will be remembered as one of the most enjoyable events of the season. The dance at Warren more than compensated for the carelessness of the weather bureau in depressing the thermometer to thirty below zero. During this week Manager Hollister joined the ranks of the benedicts, very cleverly keeping the fact secret from the members of the club. The attractions of Erie proved so strong for Cameron that lie was unable to catch the train for Warren. Through delays in the train service, an enjoyable stay of three hours was made in Oil City, al-although “Duke” Madison complained because there were only eleven in the city. The concerts at the Edgewood Club and Allegheny High School were both followed by dances. On the West Virginia trip and at New Castle the club enjoyed the same cordial hospitality which it received last year. This year’s season, both in the number of concerts and in the quality of the programs, has been the most successful in the history of the club. This is entirely due to the efficient work of the management and the directors, and to co-operation between all concerned. The club is indeed fortunate in having its affairs in such capable hands.

Publicity Manager Stage Manager Librarian Mandolin Club Librarian Glee Club Page Tiro Ihi mired Twenty-Five THE THISTLE 1914 Director Scalzo Director McDowell Directors of the Musical Club IN great measure the praise for the success of the Carnegie Musical Clubs is due to the ability and energy of its directors. The Mandolin Club is exceedingly fortunate in having available the musical talents of Signor Gregorio Scalzo. At the age of fourteen he toured Europe in concert, as a mandolin soloist. He then entered the Konservatorium at Leipzig, where he studied music for six years; while there he founded and directed the famous Sylvester Mandolin Orchestra, and was frequently called upon to play before royalty. In the capacity of violin soloist he toured South America, meeting with pronounced success in Rio de Janiero, Beunos Aires, and other large cities. After his arrival in the United States, Signor Scalzo stayed for some time in New York, after which he came to Pittsburgh, where he has played with such organizations as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, The Pittsburgh Festival Orchestra, and the Jean de Baccr Quartet. Recently he has devoted himself to instruction and to orchestral work with various musical societies in Pittsburgh. Mr. R. J. Mc1)owbi,l, Director of The Glee Club, is a graduate of Princeton University where, during four years, he was tenor soloist with the Glee Club, and held the position of leader during his senior year. He was a member of the famous Moody Quartet of Chicago, and has had extensive experience in directing glee clubs of various types. Previous to his work in Pittsburgh, he directed the Glee Club of Washington and Jefferson College, and is now engaged in instruction, and in training numerous choral societies. Signor Scalzo and Mr. McDowell have applied their efforts for the past four years toward the further development of the Musical Clubs and the results of this year afford ample evidence of their success.

Williams Secretary Til 10 Carnegie Choral Club was organized in the spring of 19IS, and has already grown to be one of the most interesting of all the activities. The purpose of this organization is both social and musical—social in that it is intended that all the members become well aquainted and arc congenial; musical, since it is hoped to give the members a higher and broader appreciation of music. The membership numbers about seventy at present and has been limited to one hundred persons. The necessary qualifications arc a good voice, ability to read music, and good class standing. Any student of the four schools is eligible for membership. Meetings are held on a day decided upon by the members, for one hour each week. At present we are very much interested in the study of Cowen’s “Rose Maiden which we expect to present this spring. On a number of very important occasions this organization has represented the School, and indeed it is a prevalent idea that in a very short space of time the Carnegie Choral Club will come to represent the Carnegie Institute of Technology as no other club will be able to do. Last, but best of all must be mentioned the splendid spirit that is shown by the members of this organization and especially bv the leader and the pianist. Certainly much credit must be given to Mr. McDowell for his encouragement and patience, without which the Choral Club would have probably been unable to make such rapid strides toward their goal.

The club meets for one hour each week, and its members arc given the benefit of the training under the excellent direction of Mr. J. R. McDowell. Last year the Club gave its annual concert in May, and il was agreat success. I he program included, among other songs, “Blow Soft Winds,” and “The Lost ( hord,” by the chorus, a solo, “() Dry Those Pears, by Miss Mary L. Williams and Kevin's three part songs, “Venezia, by twelve of the girls. An extra feature in the program consisted of two interpretive dances, “The Dream of the Lotus, and “The Water Sprites,” in which Stoner and Miss Eastman took part. The girls of the chorus dressed in white, and each wearing a boquet of yellow daisies, the school flower, made a very pretty picture against a background of palms and ferns. After the concert the members of the club held an informal dance in the gymnasium, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended it. The concert this year will be held in May, and we wish to extend to all music lovers a hearty invitation to attend. The program as planned contains very fine selections. The (Ilee Club has another very laudable object. A yearly scholarship of $50.00 is given to a member of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. This money is taken from the proceeds of the annual concert. Therefore, not only to be entertained, but also to help raise money for this cause, we invite you to our next concert. l oyc Tiro Hundred Thirty-One I'ayr Tito Hundred Thirty- T 5 The Margaret Morrison Carnegie School Glee Club THE THISTLE 1!)1I THE THISTLE 1914 Margaret Morrison Carnegie School DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS Anne Thomas Ruth Welty Trene Pond Sara Murray Catherine Sawyek Eliza Dickey President Secretary Treasurer Stage Manager Assistant Stage Managers Mistress of the Wardrobe Page Two Hundred Tkirly-Three I'agt Ttro Hundred Thirty-tour Margaret Morrison Carnegie School Dramatic Club THE THISTLE 1914 THE THISTLE 1914 The Irish Players IF you had happened lo find yourself in the Margaret Morrison gymnasium, last May sixteenth, when the red plush curtains were drawn to the side, you would have believed yourself transported to the Emerald Isle itself, for sure. There sat Anne Thomas, in all her bridal beauty, (on the programme she was called “Maire Bruin,”) and then there was Ida Kaster, as the unforgiving old mother. But who in the world were these men we saw? Surely Margaret Morrison has not transplanted any male beings to our gymnasium stage! After using induction, deduction and elimination, we found them to be, Leah White as the young husband, Florence Hull as the father, and Sara Murray as the priest-Pretty soon in came a charming little facre child” with airy, fairy, footsteps, whom we immediately recognized as our dear little Nolle Kern. Everybody was convinced, when the curtains closed again at tin death of the bride, that Mr. William B. Yeats’ play, “The Land of Hearts' Desire,” could surely not have been better presented by amateurs, than it was by this able cast. It was a difficult play at best, but the girls had worked hard, and they were amply repaid by the appreciation of the audience. To counteract the sad atmosphere of the first play, came Lady Gregory’s charming little farce, “Spreading the News.” Mary Roberts, Mary Wentzel, Catherine Sawyer, Isabel Ilaag, Estelle Broadhcad, Georgia Clark—Oh, all of them, just “did themselves brown.” The Irish in the audience could appreciate it because they were Irish, and those who were not. could appreciate it because it was on the Irish. Anyway it was one of the very best things that had ever been given at Margaret Morrison. Everyone said so.

The Dramatic (Mul) usually presents a short play appropriate to the season and the Glee Club sings some of our favorites among the Christmas Carols. This year we gave (Miristina Rosetti's pocin, “'The Pageant of the Months. And since Miss Rosetti’s work expresses in literature that same note of soft melancholy grace which is represented in the work of the Preraphaelite artists, our presentation was arranged with that in mind. The costumes were, as nearly as possible, copies of the paintings of this school, and the whole tone of the play was rather subdued, even the dancing in the May and October scenes echoing this note. The setting was the interior of an old time English hall through which the months passed in their journey through the year. The pageant was opened by a Prologue, or Keynote, followed by January, bitterly cold, yet rejoicing in the song of a robin; February bringing the first snow-drop and a new born lamb; March, with the wild winds and sudden calms bearing her precious violets; April, full of showers and smiles, bringing a nest full of birds; May, with her wealth of flowers and songs of birds; June, with her roses and such long lazy days that she herself fell asleep and had to be awakened by July, who restored the freshness of the earth with a thunderstorm, and helped bring forth the harvest of grain with which August came laden; September, with stores of fruit and the first touch of Autumn sadness; October bringing nuts, bright leaves and a few pine cones, and a mantle of sleep for the earth; and finally December, with snow and Christmas. The Pageant was followed by the Boar’s Head procession in which the Lord and Lady, Santa Claus, the Cook, the 'Parian Maid, the Pages, and all the characters of the play, and the Glee Club take part, marching out among the audience and singing the Boar’s Head Carol.

McGill OFFICERS Honorary Chairman President Vice President Secretary Treasurer ANOTHER year lias passed and gone into history. Upon reflection even tin most pessimistic can not hut admit that it has been the most successful in the history of the Society. Probably none of the happenings of the year has been more gratifying to the members .of the Society than our affiliation with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, who extended the privilege of affiliate membership to 11s on October 14, 11)13. The annual banquet of the Society was held at the German Club on June Oth. and it goes without saying that every one had the “best time ever. The program of the evening began with an illustrated lecture given by the Pittsburgh Industrial Commission on “Industrial Development of Pittsburgh. Following the lecture a short business meeting was held, at which the officers for the coming year were elected. Having our business meeting over with we sat down to one of those traditional Dutch Lunches which all agreed could not be equalled in the “Old Country,” and so a most enjoyable evening ended. The meetings this year as formerly, have been held once each month, and the large attendance seems to evidence their popularity, and the interest of the students in the organization. Our speakers among whom have been several of our graduates, have been exceptionally good, and have dealt with subjects with which we come in contact daily in the class room, thus making them of great value to us.

With a good bunch of Plebcs we are expecting to increase our membership although in consideration of the fact that this is only the second year of the Teacher's college at Tech., we have a fair sized “Plcbe” class to select from. In the future the Teacher’s Club will be known as one of the “biggest doers” at Tech. The purpose of the Club is for mutual advantage and to promote good fellowship among the members. It has proved a decided success both socially and intellectually. The Club has been instrumental in the promotion of Industrial Education which according to reports has a great future in this country. At a recent banquet at the Hotel Schenlcv held by the Teacher’s Club for the special purpose of promoting industrial education, Mr. K rent .pointer the speaker of the evening pointed out the great demand for industrial education in this country caused by the present economic conditions. The Club is yet in its embryonic state and judging from the growth and progress in the past we anticipate a glorious future at Tech. John Herriot (i. E. Robbins II. F. Marti II. F. Marti ) (i. C.

Consequently we have the Studio Club which has enjoyed a steady growth since its birth in December 1!) 1 -2. It is Bohemian in character and has an odd interesting ceremony of initiation characteristic of artists. Its prospects for continued success are bright and because of its unique character will stamp out prominently in Design School history.

The Charity Dance given on December 12, 1913, was the first dance for all the members of the school, and as such was a great success financially and as a socializing factor. The chairmen in charge of the dance and responsible for its success were: Miss Leonora M. Honecker, Miss Katharine Dermitt, Miss Irene Pond, Miss Elizabeth Caulfield, Miss Margaret Webb, Miss Mary McGrew, Miss Isabel Ilaag, and Miss Eliza Dickey. The Calendar made its first appearance at the Dance and from that time on was everywhere present until the 500 copies were sold. Miss Mary Wentzel designed the cover, and Miss Ora Pendleton and her committee collected the Scotch quotations which inspire the reader each week. Altogether the Guild had raised $100.00 which is to be given to the Tuberculosis Hospital and has made measuring robes and stockings for the patients. 'I'he members of the Guild will surely realize the truth that “Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.” President Secretary Treasurer r,tUe Three Hundred Seven I’ujf Three Hundred F.ifhl The Night Draughtsman’s Club THE THISTLE 1014 THE THISTLE 1914 NIGHT DRAUGHTS CLUB J.WiU u nj- Niglit Draughtsman’s Club Y. E. Noble A. J. Glynn J. Mooney II. M. McKee J. A. Stein OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Thistle Representative THE past year has been a very successful one for this organization. The active membership has been tripled since the beginning of the school year. Many of the new members arc live wires, which fact, certainly lessened the burden of the upper classmen. The meetings have been well attended and enthusiasm has prevailed. It is with satisfaction that we note the interest taken by graduate members, who keep in touch with us constantly. One of the social features of the year was the theatre party given at The Grand Opera House. Through the influence of our good dean, Mr. Connelly, we have been fortunate in being able to arrange a series of lectures, which will prove very attractive to the members. On the last night of school we will hold our First Annual Dance, which we expect will be the most successful undertaking of the club in the social line. Our banquet promises to eclipse the one held last year which was pronounced the best ever. in the Draughtsmen's club and the diversions furnished by it we have found the silver lining of the cloud of the night school study. Our membership is composed of the more congenial fellows throughout the school and our association with one another in our club has served the very good end of promoting closer acquaintance and general good fellowship among the members. The Night Draughtsmans club is a progressive organization and like all things progressive improves from year to year and our 1913-14 year is no exception to this rule. The graduating members of the club feel confident that they are leaving the club in good hands and expect that the coming year will fully realize their fondest hopes for the clubs future.

M. ('. S. Dorm. Old girls chattered incessantly from the bottom of trunks or the dizzy heights of wobbly stepladders, while the poor little Plcbes sobbed over the balusters and found their sweetest comfort in looking up the next train for home. The Sophomores, however, through their newly acquired authority allowed little time for such sad thoughts and weepy eyes, for soon such edicts as “Plebe Lambing clean room 9 every Saturday morning, empty waste baskets once a day and behave in a manner worthy of a worm” appeared in blazing letters on new girl's doors. Propinquity and obedience to the clanging bell at seven in the morning and the unrelenting command of “lights out at ten-thirty, while yet the evening seemed young soon made us one big family with many common interest. We were no longer Miss Sloan and Miss Brownell but “Pidgc and “Shady.” Notwithstanding the somewhat regular and studious life we soon acquired, we could not entirely forget good times, and all the “Dorm” was soon planning a tea for the new girls who were not at “825.” Not always were our parties within the prescribed hours, and especially did the one for the Plebes one night overrun the limits. Such original stunts as the Plebes gave proved that they did not lack in cleverness and individuality. Of much more dignity, but of equal interest was our Tea given November ninth for Our Faculty. The Dorm that day was in its gayest attire. Our informal “At Homes” once a week have also formed a most enjoyable part of our dormitory life and the regular attendance of a few has proved that not all men find “pink teas” a bore and a cup of tea, a slice of lemon, a sandwich, and an olive hard to juggle in one hand while greeting the thirty-nine hostesses. 'l'lie Dorm wore no festive air during exam week and deep lines and hollow eyes replaced the pink tea smiles.

Pentermann Gilmore L. Tilbrook Robert E. L. Wildman Fred C. Zieseniieim YRS, the Class of 1915 had a Prom!! The best, the—but what’s the use. They say that every year and usually it’s true. So 1915 will say, “Well, if next year’s Prom is half as good as ours it will be the second best Carnegie Tech has ever seen.” The Prom was held at the Rittcnhousc, Friday evening and Saturday morning, February twentieth and twenty-first. The music—well, you didn’t sec any one sitting the dances out—you know that kind of music. The program called for waltzes and two-steps, and some couples thought it meant it and started to waltz. However, they soon became lonesome and joined the others in the hesitation andone-step. Sh----------not a word for even the Faculty, the dignified Faculty, one-stepped under the balcony where those looking on from above could not sec them. f 'l'ln 1915 Prom was a success and we hope that next year’s will be as good. v Puye Three Hundred Fifteen THE THISTLE 1914 ;fr wire 1 Ptiijt' Three Hundred Sixteen HIE THISTLE 1914 Margaret Morrison Carnegie School Junior Promenade COMMITTEE Lydia Bates Mary McKee Lorna Williams Florence Hull ON February fi, 1914, one of the most successful Proms (hat ever was given in the Margaret Morrison school was given by (lie Junior Class with the members of the Senior Class and the Faculty as their guests. The gymnasium and lunchroom was arrayed as befitted the occasion. In the corners of the gym opposite the stage two cozy corners were arranged, one decorated in the Senior colors and the other in the colors of the Junior ('lass. The stage itself was banked with palms, and a number of easy chairs made it an inviting nook for those who preferred to watch the dancers. The prosaic lunchroom was also beautifully decorated and nothing remained to suggest (lie daily “bread line.” In the receiving line, assisting the President of the Class. Miss Dickey, were, the chaperons of the dance, Mrs. Ycrmockcn, Miss Parry, Miss Lyon, and Miss Holmes. The music was excellent, and when the first dance began at nine o’clock every one of the fifty couples was filled with enthusiasm which did not lessen until the full program of twenty-four dances was finished. Supper was served in the Faculty parlors where small tables were arranged in a most attractive way. In the center of each table was a basket filled with yellow and white narcissus representing the school colors, and violets tied to the handle completed the class colors as well. The precedent established by the Juniors of last year was followed by the girls who showed that they arc practical as well as theoretical cooks. But the daintiness of the refreshments and the attractiveness of the service were due to the efficient catering of Miss Adam who was ably assisted in serving by a number of the lower classmen. And so, after two and a half years of expectancy, the Prom has come and gone and we have nothing left but fond recollections. Page Three Hundred Seven teen THE THISTLE 1914 Christmas Dance FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5th, 1913 WITH dignified faces and parly clothes I lie Night students appeared upon the scene on the night of December 5th, Nineteen hundred and thirteen. This was to be a memorable affair, our first big dance. There were the usual extra dances before the Grand march. For, in breathless excitement everybody was waiting for our Class President to do us the honor of leading that parade. At length she came, looking. Oh, so splendid, and a wonderful creation of crimson and black. She took her place at the head of the fifty or more couples, and like everything she undertakes, all went right. We paraded around the Gym., down the center, received our programmes, and then officially the dance was on. And it was some dance, although the Tango was cold shouldered into a very sedate two step, only a couple here and there doing the real dance to that swinging, ringing melody. We had added to our joy the pleasure of having Mrs. Vcrmorcken as our chaperon. And several members of the faculty did us the honor of being present. Nearly all of the student body were there and about the second dance the dignified, full-dress expression had melted and faded into one of joy. For this crowd might like to work and study but they can make a wonderful success of having a good time. IIow pretty the dancers looked was one matter, but how pretty the Gymnasium looked was another. It was—very appropriately—decorated in the school banners, the beautiful yellow and white M. M. C. S. ones being placed prominently at either end, and surrounding were just dozens ot pennants of different colleges and towns, even our hated rival U. of P. being represented. What, the Home Waltz! Why, it seemed like we had just begun to dance. Nevertheless, it is time to go home, and each and every heart is lighter for the time we have had.

Dearest Sir, Japanese Schoolboy Society, of whom I am proud to be a member, had appoint me to visit your honorable Applied Technical School for the purpose of seeing how they arc Applied. Notes on Design School is these (I regard other Schools of Applying next visit). Hiding in jamblv car I first see noble structures which are Techy Schools. When I renounce from car I meet smilv student, which report these schools are all Applied except one which arc pleasantly striped with barbarish poles and are for females. I recpiire why this is so. “For female students which humble the home to make it happy,” (lib student with expression peculiar to Hon. Will Sunday. “For why not learn from Mothers at home?” I snagger. “Them perogatives do not require this to be so,” corrode student, and I reject to Design School which are next Applied. There I enjoy sight of five flights of stairs. On first floor I review large number of students, females and others pushing mud with earnest expression. “What should that do?” I require with politish smile. “It are mudling class,” snatch female with snarling. I am excused,” I rcsponce and climb up onto 2nd floor, which are large and wasteful. Next floor, which are three, I find library in unsuitable alley, no silence is anywhere. “What are these noises?” I holla. “This is library, keep it quieted up for dramatic students is in it, and also music pupils is hollaing off of pianos in next room. I am less quiet and relapse to next floor in which is busily architects. “Why is this for?” I say so. “Cliar-ettes,” “Where’s my nigger,” and much other refrainous languages, so I resign to top floor. There I discover many girls which arc excited. “Is this Hon. (i. Washington’s birthday or fire?” I denominate. “These are Decorations, Illustrations and Paint,” is retorting answer. “But why this militancy?” I remind with botherish smile. “It is a choicest life work for girls” dib one student. I recall one of prettiest girls to be guide. “Which is yours?” is smart questioning by me. “Not to be seen for sometime,” she renig. I sec longish man constantly surrounded by students, (iirl expose, “That are lion. C. Jay Taylor, popular illustrator and there are also Haluph Homes also an Excellent Sir.” I decry lion. Homes proped up by elbow on depressed lockers. Why so sad for him,” I exclam. “He are thinking up new course to be added,” she conglomerate. “What are these?” I holla. “Hon. Mr. V. Solum very excellent and Hon. Mr. Stevens also very much to be respectable.” “If so who are lie?” I reply, asking about man which arc slinking over lockers with concealing expression. “It are Hon. A. W. Spark not being caught to give critisizm,” she anguish. I review art pictures rashly. “This is Applied Designs, girl snig. “Applied Designs is not suitable places for Japanese schoolboy to be amid,” sad I, and seized hat with grabby hand and rcglide to Phg. hotel feeling quite mingled.

PROGRAMME SOME CLASS ARCHAEOLOGY III PROJECT—(Problem in Design) The Committee on Education proposes as subject for this competition “A RETAINING WALL FOR ENGINEERS” (By Every-Prof. Esq., I I). Q., B. V. D.) INTRODUCTION: It is customary at the beginning of the twentieth century for structural engineers to trespass a great deal in architectural fields, therc-by damaging and decreasing to an unlimited extent, the out-put and quality of art. GENERAL: Many schemes and devices were used to keep these engineers within their own fields. A favorite way was to employ as many as possible in architects offices, where they would be under control and could do the least amount of harm to architecture. Other devices employed by some of the more resourceful architects of the period are known as, “Chicagoesque,” “ Art-Noveau,” “Wranck Lloyd Fright,” “Gilter Burlap Wallin,” “Craftsman,” “Mission,” and “Sullivanesque.” A retaining wall in some one, or in any appropriate combination of these styles is the subject of this problem. MATERIALS AND DIMENSIONS: This structure shall be of mathematics, plotted throughout, and shall stand on a solid base of calculus. For the taller parts of the walls higher math is recommended. The dimensions of the structure are left to the discretion of the student, but they must be of sufficient scope to provide accommodations for several thousand, structural, heating, ventilating, refrigerating, and lighting engineers. In the foundation shall be provided 100,000 air tight compartments for contractors and real estate men who furnish their own plans, while along the top shall be sine curves and other pain inflicting devices for clients who insist upon designing their own buildings. It is suggested that analytical and descriptive geometry be studied as the dominant motive of the decoration. Page Three Hundred Forty-Fire THE THISTLE 1914 REQUIRED FOR THE ESQUISSE: (Preliminary Sketch) Plans, Elevators (at least four), and a Trans-Longi-Vcrsal Section at a scale of about one inch to the mile. The sketch shall be signed in print letters with name of Atelier or Patron, drawn in ink on a single (one) sheet of tracing paper, cut to size of one and one-half inches by two and fifteen-sixteenths inches and shall have a single (one) border line one inch from edge. REQUIRED FOR TIIE RENDU: (Final Drawings) Plans at several important levels and many elevations at a scale of about three inches to the foot. At least ten sections at the same scale. An aero-plane perspective may be substituted for the plans and one of the elevations, while for the sections it is recommended that interior perspectives, after the “Chicago” style then in vogue, be substituted. All details of construction, all load and stress diagrams will be required at full size, together with the necessary tables of data. Also a curve showing the cost of construction, and the whole must be mounted on one mount of standard size No. 00 forty feet by sixty-two feet. The drawings arc to be signed in large block letters at the top of mount and must be within a space not more than two feet by six feet as the names are to be covered before and after judgment. REFERENCES: In the study of this exercise the student is referred to the following standard works and authorities: “Last days of Chicago, by Prof. I. Have Stungum. “Lays of Ancient Math, by Prof. D.O.N.T. Mention-it. Also, see photographs and restorations of fragments gathered by the A. 1). Plebo Expedition of 1913.

(Sec report of Secretary Field No. 198354). Nine months ago the Thistle Board started in I lie Thistle business with a total capital of a bland outlook on life and a good reputation with the Faculty. The accumulation of their present flunks is due to their wise investments, perspicacity, frugality and the fact that the Faculty, recently belligerent, descended upon them, and smote them hip and thigh. —xxiv— 1 Jti ‘ PRESS OF THE Cot ' BUSY SCENE AT CARNEGIE TECH.
