Trip to Tacony. Friday morning, April 19, dawned bright and cool. The weather was ideal for walking and was all that could be desired by the Senior Mechanicals and Civils, who were going' on a sight-seeing trip, planned and conducted by Professor Starkey. At 8 A. M. we started to gather at West Phila- delphia Station, and five of us-Applegate, Burrows, jones, Van de Mark and VVinter-left there on the 8.07 way-train to New York, We picked Steer up along the road, and when we arrived at Tacony station we found Thorn and Johnston waiting for us. VVe marched down to the office of the Disston Saw Wo1'lcs and waited for the rest of the bunch. Professor Starkey joined us here, and when all had arrived we started through the works. Soon we began to wonder where all the saws made there could possibly be used. The thing that impressed us most was the completeness of the factory. Everything used in the manufacture of all kinds of saws was made completely from mater- ials in the rawest state. On coming out of here, we walked the railroad track and arrived at the pumping station at Lardnerls Point. Here we inspected everything from the bottom of the pumps to the top of the cylin- ders in the engine rooms and then went to the boiler rooms, and amid the good-natured jibes of the attendants we climbed up a winding staircase to the coal conveyor that supplies the stokers. After eating our lunch we cut across lots to a glass factory, Leaving this, we pounced down on a grocery store and ice cream parlor. Seeing us come out of this, an old woman exclaimed: My Gawd, never seen so many fellers in me life V' 'fOf course not, answered one of the bunch, this is Taconyf' After visiting the Quaker City Rubber Company and the Frankford Arsenal we scattered to our homes feeling tired and dirty, but very grateful to the one who had planned the trip.
