In his youth he was an atten- dant at St. Paul ' s School in Concord, N. H., grad- uated at Harvard, was admitted to the Bar, and com- menced the practice of law in Boston under the firm name of Ayer Babcock. By the disability of his father, Dr. James C. Ayer, he was called from his legal practice to the management of the estate which has fully occupied his time since the death of his father in 1878. His residence is, and has been for many years, in New York City. As is well known in Mass- achusetts he has been a very generous benefactor of the Lowell Textile School, his first contribution thereto enabling the Trustees to purchase the beautiful site on the banks of the Merrimack, and erect thereon the fine school building, a fitting monument to his generosity, named in honor of his grandfather ' Southwick Hall. His continuing contributions which amount in the aggregate to the great sum of $150,000 have enabled the Trustees to add extensively to the grounds and buildings of the institution. ) CReeriNG ii—Jr SELECT the most comfortable chair at your favorite window, fill your pipe with the best and assume the most comfortable pose. You are then prepared to digest the contents of our first student publication endeavoring- to depict the life at Dear old Textile. It is with a feeling- of diffidence that we present our labors to your inspection, not that we fear personal censure, — but that there may be some errors in our effort to make this an interesting data of what happens in three years of our student life. As to how well we have accomplished our aim we leave you to decide. If among these pages you find a hit on yourself, do not be pessimistic, but cheer up and look for one on your neighbor. Disregarding the arrows thrust, cherish this book, not only as a chronicle of events, but for its real worth as a promoter of the true college spirit. If our readers take this work as depicting this spirit, then the editors will feel that they have accomplished the object at which they aimed.

SMITH, ' 00 H. A. BODWELL, ' 00 16 Hlumtii Association „ BOUT the latter part of May, in the year nineteen hun- J j J dred, the first regular graduating class of the School met in the Art Department, which was then situated on the top floor of the Parker Block on Middle street. During this meeting the advisability of forming an Alumni Association was decided upon and three members, viz., H. A. Bodwell, S. E. Smith and C. J. Brickett, were chosen to draft a constitution and report to the meeting at a later date. At first the constitution permitted the enrollment of gradu- ates from the evening classes, but at the first annual meeting of the Alumni, it was amended so that only graduates of the day classes were eligible for membership. The members of the association are classed under the three heads of honorary, active and associate. The honorary membership includes the Board of Trustees, the Members of the Faculty and any others that may be elected by the Association. To the active membership all diploma graduates of the School are eligible and from this branch of the Association all officers are elected. To the associate member- ship all who have completed only partial courses are eligible, and these are admitted to all the privileges of the Association with the exception of holding office. The first banquet of the Association — or more properly speaking, of the class of nineteen hundred, as the Association w as not formed until after the dinner — was held at the St. Charles Hotel, on the evening of Commencement Day, Wed- 17 PICKOUT, 1906 nesday, June 6 th, nineteen hundred. Each Commencement Day since then a banquet has been held in the same place, and year after year many of the old men have returned to welcome the graduating class to the Association, to discuss the menu and swap stories of student days. Apart from the appreciation of the gastronomic art and the meeting of old classmates, the intermingling of the various classes is of decided benefit, especially so to the new members, as they are able to learn and profit by the experience of those who for some time have been working along their chosen lines. Each year the number of covers at these banquets has materi- ally increased until from a beginning of twenty, the number has reached the neighborhood of fifty-five, or nearly forty-seven per cent of the actual membership. The Alumni of the School have in the majority of cases been so successful in reaching positions demanding rare execu- tive ability and technical knowledge that the Board of Trustees of the School has realized the advisability of having them repre- sented on the Board. The first election for this purpose was held in. June, nineteen hundred and five, with the result that Henry A. Bodwell was elected for two years and Paul T. Wise for one year. At present a bill is in the State Legislature to increase the Alumni representation from two to four and also to lengthen the term from two to four years. 18 Class of 1906 (§ftors ARTHUR CLAYTON VARNUM, President.

Atljlrttc (Eaunrtl CHARLES ROYAL CHURCH 20 Jl Bistory Being a Chronicle op Events That Has Befallen the Class of 1906 Breaker Picker We came, we saw, we conquered. HAT, in brief, is the history of the Class of 1906. We were the first entering class in the new build- ings, and being the first, have always tried to keep the record of this class such that it will be an ideal standard to those that are to follow us. At last a few of the worthy have reached that pinnacle to which the aspiring eyes of the lower classmen so often gaze. We have dropped many on the way hut our hand still numbers well as compared to the classes gone before us. With a smile we look back to that first night in Lowell when we were made to expound the theory of woman ' s rights and do stunts for the amusement of street urchins. Henny certainly showed his ability as a stump speaker when perched on the City Hall steps and many found the cake of ice in Tex Hall a cool spot. That T square was the warmest stick of wood I ever felt, said Newk in talking it over, and to think that Prior was to be numbered among us. We were about as sorry a looking bunch the next morning after we had parted with all of our good coin purchasing pick glasses, needles and artists ' (?) materials, such valuable articles that we have never used. 23 PICKOUT, 1906 Principal Crosby welcomed us with his ever ready smile arid volunteered to preside at our first class meeting soon after which Barnett taught us parliamentary law, and in a voice that echoed like distant thunder exclaimed, Gentlemen, there is a motion before the house ! ' ' However, it was left to Ben Shaw to guide us through that first year, and although Ben did not know what to do when there was a motion to be put to vote, he always found a way to ad- journ, for, as he would say That ' s the most important thing, anyhow. ' ' We were well represented on the football team our first year and in fact can claim a majority of its members for the three years as well as two captains. It was in Chem where many of our associates met their Waterloo, but we can blame no one when our great ' ' con man, ' ' F. Cook (ie) was known to rise up and describe ammonia as an odorless, tasteless, white colored liquid. What a cinch it was to vault out of the Mech. room on a fine spring morning, when Perk was-er-explaining-er- the -er compound er-lever, with his back to the class, and hold a pri- vate session on the river bank. Don ' t forget the time Fritz was told to leave the room for asking him what time it was by his watch. We wonder why. How some of us miss those Saturday nights at the fight, and the old time Huskin ' bee. Those were the days when gathered under the arch we heard of Brook counting the ties and Fritz paroling Merrimack street, as Hockenheimer the rich man. 24 PICKOUT, 1906 Our flight through the breaker picker, was all too short and it was with remorse that we scattered in June, some to hustle picker laps at the Massachusetts or scour the fleece at Lewis ' , while the more fortunate basked in the sun at their fav- orite summer resort, and others left us not to return. Intermediate Picker T - ' T was with a different feeling that we met in the corridor on our return in September, 1904. Many faces were missing, but those who were there fully appreciated the warm greeting toward each other. After relating the summer ' s experiences and the telling of many of a wild tale we started to take charge of the freshmen. What a tickled feeling we experi- enced, to know that our opportunity had come at last to square up the old scores of our reception by ' 05. Our sympathies were aroused when we witnessed the scared expressions on the children ' s faces, so we decided to treat them tenderly and consequently let them off easily. After finishing the freshmen there was little excitement. However, a flame was kindled after the football victory of our old rivals, the high school alumni, and some of us still have a Quaker Oats, or other car sign, to remind us of the return from the Fair Grounds. The football season ended, rough-housing was in order and it was improved upon in wonderful manner over previous 25 PICKO UT , 1906 years. Hotel Edwards, 197 Pawtucket street, was the center of attack, and midnight encounters became a custom. Many a fortune was won and lost at the Textile Monte Carlo between Sunda} evening and Monday morning, and an occasional bath robe parade to the Spa served to break the monotony. Chadman Hall was also the scene of many a rampage, and with the odds of five freshman against three of us, ' 06 held its own in the nightly carousals. But this is not to be wondered at as it is merely an example of how we have eclipsed our an- tagonists in all things. We were well represented at the opening of the roller- skating rinks, and few who saw him will ever forget Curtis with a skate on for the first time. There was more than one dent in the floor. How weaving did suffer Friday afternoons, for it was then that the fair sex made their appearance. Then came the memorable Dartmouth game after which everyone was filled with the inspiration of a Lowell Textile toot. It was a night never to be forgotten, as was also the morning after. Baseball required our attention till time for the finals, after which we gathered to see the upper classmen leave us. Finishing Picker T OR the last time we again assembled to greet our alma mater as the class of nineteen hundred six. Many were the missing .picks, but we still numbered well as compared to succeeding classes. ' 05, fearing a hard winter, 26 PICKOUT, 1906 left us a gift in the shape of a little Cole to keep us warm with his arguments. We greeted him cordially notwithstanding that he had become a promoter of roller skating on Sundays. With an ever careful eye we watched over the freshmen and allowed only a choice few to receive extra penalties at the hands of the sophs. We still continued our interests in all that the school has undertaken since our arrival. In athletics we have given our best and in the Textile show we demonstrated that ' 06 was still alive. Charlie and Mac still further upheld the reputation of ' 06 on our winning basketball team. In fact, in looking over the past records there has never been an athletic team, or an enter- prise started, that the class has not given more than her share. There are now but a few weeks before us of college life, and the interests that we hold here, will of necessity be turned toward our individual futures. It is hoped that as we go out into the business world each man will still continue to bring out the best that is in him and raise still higher the standard of his alma mater and the class of 1906. 27 Individual Record CLASS OF 1906 ARTHUR C.

Woodcock, Professor of Do- mesticology and a noted authority on fussing and allied subjects; and also to many others too numerous to mention, for their valuable services in regard to the general features of the work and for their numerous suggestions which have been of great service in its preparation. PROCESS OF ANALYSIS Procedure: —To the original solution add an excess of hot air. In order to be certain of complete precipitation a trip to the office and a visit to the design department is highly re- commended for producing complete insolvency. This de- sign is guaranteed to repeat itself regularly. Notes — 1. The color of the original solution is green, usually very bright; it gradually fades during the process of analysis. If it disap- pears too rapidly it can be renewed in the Dyeing Laboratory. 2. It is very important that complete precipitation takes place, con- sequently the directions should be closely adhered to. REDUCTON OF THE SOLUTION Procedure: — To the remains from the above treatment add a year ' s experience at the L. T. S. Finally treat with 41 PICKOUT, 1906 several rig-id examinations. Add F until the solution decreases rapidly in volume. Add L until the solution turns pale, P and C in moderate amounts, and H in very small quantities. Filter and wash. Notes — 1. A large excess of F often causes trouble and sometimes it is necessary to repeat. 2. Instead of repeating-, it is often found more convenient to specialize 3. A large amount of H is to be avoided as it is liable to interfere with the pleasure of certain exams. 4. The petition should be used only as a last resort. Too much con- fidence must not be placed in it as it frequently fails to produce the de- sired results. SEPARATION OF THE ROUGH HOUSE GROUP Procedure: — Allow the solution to work several weeks. Then to an Art Lecture add some nitrogen of iodide. When dry a general foot movement produces interesting results. Add damages and remarks on our ingenuity. Rough House Group eliminated. Collect the residue. Notes — 1. Attention is called to the fact that the action of the nitrogen iodide is merely catalytic producing great muscular activity. 2. It is to be observed that nothing- can g-o on without Karl. Procedure: — Allow the residue to settle down a little then treat it with a series of exams. Filter and wash discarding the filtrate. Spread out the residue all over the country and leave it for the summer to dry. Collect, add attendance cards, class meeting, hazing the Freshmen, cutting examination, etc. Notes — 1. The settling doyvn process is in connection with the finals. If incomplete the results are not so satisfactory. 42 PICKQUT, 1906 2. In this case make a more thorough washing - . 3. The hazing of the Freshmen is for their own benefit. It serves to alleviate any pangs of homesickness by turning their thoughts into other channels. The methods for doing this are so many and varied that it is impossible to do more than merely mention the matter here. However for the benefit of those desiring information on the subject, it may be noted that any of the following gentlemen are competent to give a detailed course in this branch of science; ' Dyers, ' Stott and Bicknell; our dear ' Mrs. Fay ' and many others who may be easily detected. PRECIPITATION OF THE ATHLETIC GROUP Procedure: — The complete precipitation of this group is attended with many difficulties — but after attending - a mass meeting of the students and listening to a stirring address by Prof. Barker in which he confronted us with the astonishing fact, that for some cause, unknown only to certain former members, our baseball paraphernalia was among the missing — a Baseball Team is thrown down. The solution is warmed slowly at first and finally heated to boiling by the Textile- Dartmouth Basketball game. Notes — 1. The reagents used by Prof. Barker in precipitating this group are of a very complex nature, the exact composition of which are not known. 2. The boiling should be done with care to prevent too rapid precipi- tation. 3. If flush after the game adjourn down town. 4. The solution becomes somewhat cloudy at this point. 5. In case the excitement is found to be too intense a soothing remedy may be found in ' Dr. ' D. P. Knowland ' s favorite prescription, ' Cacodyl, ' which is highly recommended by ' Ruggles, ' ' Prof. ' Farmer, a relic from the last century. Will be pleased to furnish trial bottles of this great remedy, as long as they last, for only 98 cents each. 43 Register of 1907 Name Course Bain, William Anderson IV Bayard, Pierre Philippe I Barron, Christopher Tennant VI Bicknell, Karl Arthur, A.

Atljlrttr (Enuttril JOHN FRANCIS DWIGHT, Jk. 46 Freshman ' s Bisfory Lowell Textile School, March 15, 1906. Dear S- It has taken me all the intervening time since we parted to realize my standing here, and after that to cultivate the requisite humility. I am merely a freshman. Until I came here I did not know what volumes that word alone expressed. It means that we freshmen are sworn enemies of the Sophs, those important look- ing fellows who eyed us so askance upon our arrival here. We don ' t count at all and are hardly included in the attendance roll for the reason that the Rollaway is too near. Our personal appearance seemed to displease our enemies, consequently we have been treated to one sided hair cuts, close shaves, etc., until now we are so altered that I very much doubt if you would recognize me as the person to whom you waved adieu on the 25th of last September. It did not take us long to get used to the regular routine of work. At first, of course, we were all tangled up in the tabular view and lost in the beautiful odors of the Chem Lab. By the way I was most fortunate in securing a fine seat in the Chem Lecture Hall. It is number 17 and the fellow who sold it to me said that it was a great bargain at the price of two dol- lars. He seemed glad to get the money but when I mentioned 48 PICKOUT, 1906 it afterwards, he mumbled something about getting my leg pulled, whatever that means. I have now become quite accomplished, for I ' ve learned to smoke, chew and cut. I was most proficient in the latter, in fact I carried it to such an excess that my health was impaired and I was obliged to consult the doctors in room 64. Then came the end of the first term and I had told my friends confidently that I expected to get a mark of H in all my studies, but what a difference ! I received my report and my friends came to congratulate me, but instead, they asked me why I looked so sad. I told them that my report looked like an ABC book with all but the fourth and sixth letters left out and that I was going to pawn my books so that I could continue my studies at the Lowell Commercial College. I finally decided to remain a while longer, however, with the permission of the doctors who prescribed strict application to school work, and now the Eollaway has the following motto on the wall, Absent but not forgotten. Well so long, 1908. 49 Register of 190$ Name Course II Sp. Illb Abbott, George Richard Bajus, Helen Baker, Harold Harvey. A. K. J . I Ballard, Horace W. C. S., O. II. IV Barlow, Richard Eversley, A.

SMITH, Esq., father of the school J was born in Lowell, January 28th, 1837. He was brought up in the public schools of Lowell, and after the completion of his courses, went West. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted from Illinois and served four years in the army of Tennessee. He was graduated at law with the degree of LL. B. and was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The middle active part of his life was spent as an official in the treasury department of the national gov- ernment. For many years Mr. Smith was recognized in Congress and the national treasury as an authority on postal accounting, to the revision of which he had prepared himself by long experiences with postal law and domestic postal revenues and expenditures, and by official inspection of the administrative methods of the leading European governments. The Lowell Textile School was first proposed by Mr. Smith, June 1st, 1891, believing it would be to the benefit of the employer and employe and also to the Commonwealth. From correspondence and observation he saw the importance of education along a higher plain in one of the world ' s leading industries, and so outlined a plan for a Textile School at Lowell. At a conference he interested the leading representatives of 55 PICKOUT, 19 6 the great mill and machinery corporations of the Merri- mack Valley in the establishment of such a school, and an act being - obtained from the legislature, an associ- ation was sdon formed and incorporated for the estab- lishment and management of the Lowell Textile School. The trustees organized in June, 1895, and the school opened for instruction February 1st, 1897. Mr. Smith ' s interest steadily increased and now he has seen the housing of his project in the magnificent set of buildings across the river and the steady develop- ment of its character and method of instruction. For some years the school has absorbed the larger portion of his time — a labor of love. As to its success the school speaks for itself better than anyone can speak for it. All departments originally contemplated are now opened and equipped, and the period of establishment may now be said to be closed. Undoubtedly the school will grow in importance and extend its curriculum. It is through the untiring efforts of Mr. Smith that the school has been represented in athletic contests, and it is also through his influence that it now has the Ayer Ath- letic Field and the fine basketball cage. His work is fully appreciated by every student, past and present, and con- sequently through these lines we wish to express our appre- ciation and gratitude to the father of our Alma Mater. 56 Our Jllma mater HE Lowell Textile School has been established to provide thorough instruction in the theory and practical arts pertaining to the conversion of all com- mercial fibres into fabrics. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts incorporated the Trustees of the Lowell Textile School for the purpose of maintaining a textile school for instruction in the theory and practical art of textile and kindred branches of industry. Lowell, Massachusetts, is called the Mother Tex- tile City of America, and in locating the school at this center a considerable advantage is maintained for the reason that every commercial fibre enters into the products of the great Merrimack Valley Textile district. The practical work of the school is, therefore, kept closely in touch with the several branches of the industry which are included in the courses of study. There is a more varied equipment in this school than in any other, either in America or Europe, and it 57 PICKOUT, 1906 is now possible to convert the raw stock into the fin- ished fabric, within the school. The site is a commanding one, consisting of ten acres at a high elevation, on the west bank of the Merrimack River extending to and overlooking the rapids of Pawtucket Falls, the first to be utilized for power weaving in America on an extensive scale. The site was contributed by Frederick Fanning Ayer, Esq., of New York City, and the Proprietors of the Locks and Canals on the Merrimack River. The buildings, Southwick Hall, Kitson Hall, the weave shed, and head house, are all faced with light brick, granite and Indiana lime stone trimmings, and are of modern mill construction adapted to educational uses. Southwick Hall was contributed by the Common- wealth of Massachusetts and Frederick Fanning Ayer, Esquire, of New York City, and is a memorial to Roy- al Southw T ick, a leading textile manufacturer, a public man of earlier days, and a maternal ancester of Mr. Ayer. Kitson Hall, dedicated to the memory of Richard Kitson, was contributed by Charlotte P. Kitson and Emma K. Stott, his daughters; the Kitson Machine Company of Lowell, founded by him, was also a gen- erous contributor. 58 FRATERNITI -0Z Cbe Greek Letter fraternities REPRESENTED AT Cbe Eowell textile School IN THE ORDER OF THEIR ESTABLISHMENT 60 Pbi Psi Founded in the Tear Nineteen Hundred, at the Philadelphia Textile School ALPHA PHILADELPHIA TEXTILE SCHOOL BETA NEW BEDFORD TEXTILE SCHOOL GAMMA LOWELL TEXTILE SCHOOL 61 Gamma Chapter, Pbi Psi Founded in 1905 honorary fHembrrs ALEXANDER G.

The first teams had many difficulties to contend with that are not experienced now, so it cannot be said that there were not as good athletes in the good old days as at the present time. In 1902 the athletic association was formed with A. F. Ferguson as president. At first the member- ship was small and even to date it only includes about one-half of the students in the school showing that there is still a lack of interest. The association has al- ways been well supported by the faculty and trustees of the school, and it is through their generosity, and the efforts of Mr. James T. Smith that we now have a fine campus and basketball hall. After the organization of the Association, athletics took a decided brace, but still there was nothing to boast of in the way of championship teams. However, no team can expect to become champions experiencing the difficulties with which they had to contend. The first team to represent the school was the 68 PICKOUT, 1906 baseball team of 1900, and since then the leading branches of sports have been well represented. Getting out of school at five o ' clock, these loyal enthusiasts sought a place on which to practice, and were only able to obtain a partial diamond by the First Street Dump. This team was not regularly organized, but in the spring of 1901 a regular team was formed. The first football team experienced even greater difficulties ; for not only lacking a suitable place to practice, there was a great scarcity of material from which to choose a team. Nothwithstanding these diffi- culties, a team was formed in the fall of 1901, and although not playing many games, it opened the way for advancement. In the winter of 1901 an attempt at forming a basketball team was made, but this proposition met with poor success owing to the fact that no place was available for practice. With the advancement of the school, athletics have also advanced, so that now we are well out of the high school class in all of our branches, and have made fair progress toward the college class. 69 Ld 1 0 A Wters ARTHUR C.

BOYD, 1904- ' 05 70 Football This branch of sports, for some reason or other, has not seemed to create the interest of late years that it did formerly. Whether or not the grow- ing prejudice against the game has in- fluenced the fellows, is hard to say, for although the school is small, there has been plenty of material, but there has been a great lack of interest dis- played. It is hard to account for this lack of interest, whether from above reasons or from the fact that, through lack of funds, the athletic association has been unable to provide suits for the mem- bers. We certainly cannot lay the blame to this latter reason for more material has been supplied the men in the past two years than ever before, for when the first teams were formed the members were obliged to provide their own uniforms, and in a great many cases pay their own expenses. It is hard to form a football team without the assistance of a coach with which we have had to dispense the past three years, but if everyone came out with the intent of bringing out the best team under existing conditions and make the best of prevailing circumstances, a material difference would result. 72 PICKOUT, 1906 The first football team of 1901 made a very fair record and had a good following among the students and faculty, notwithstanding the fact that practice was a difficult task as there were no suitable grounds, and games were played at the Fair grounds and Spaulding Park. The team the following season started out with a very good showing but met with reverses the first game as their captain received a broken arm and two other men received injuries necessi- tating their retirement from the game. The 1903 team was the first to make a good record. This team defeated Somerville High School, Haverhill High and other leading high school teams, and through its capa- ble manager, sweaters were awarded to fourteen men and a small amount was handed over to the association. The team of 1904 did not come up to anticipations, but this fact is not entirely due to its members, as the campus not being finished, they had to dispense with its use and practice was held in the small quadrangle. This team was the first to reach into the academic class and for its first line-up tackled Worcester Academy, one of the best teams of its class in the country, and came away with a bare defeat in the last few minutes of play. This team defeated the strong Lowell High School Alumni team, their first defeat at our hands, and held Haverhill High school to a 0-0 score, on their own groun ds, against the will of the official. The season of 1904 ended rather abruptly, owing to injuries received by four of the best men which neces- sitated the disbandment of the team before the entire schedule was completed. 73 PICKOUT, 1906 Tlie team of 1905 made a very creditable showing in most of their games, receiving three defeats, two at the hands of su- perior teams, while the other would have doubtless been a vic- tory had the regular back field been in the game. Great credit is due Captain Church for the spirit he showed after being so severely censured by a certain paper, and also for the untiring energy he displayed in his endeavors to bring out a winning team. Considering the amount of time that is spent on foot ball practice, the lateness of starting our season, the absence of a coach, and the lack of proper training and physical care, the record of the foot ball teams has been no disgrace to the school. 74 1905 Football team o Stursberg Heintze Brookhouse Abbott Varnum Ballard Morton Church Newcomb Kent Dwight McDonnell Currier Proctor J o - S = =53 Tooiball Ceam 1 05 (iffirrra ALBERT L.

In 1902 the first team was formed and a few games were played with the junior teams of the Y. M. C. A. and the high school. The following year a more organized body represented the school and a schedule was prepared, but this team met with more reverses than victories. In 1903 the game pro- gressed a little better and this team was known to win a few games. During the season of nineteen hundred four and five the game progressed still further and this team was the first to make a record for Textile. Only three defeats were met with and two of these at the hands of fast Y. M. C. A. teams on their own floors. The other was on a waxed floor against five good men and a referee. It was the first time we ventured into the college class, with the result that we met and defeated, Tufts, Boston College, Harvard Second, and Dartmouth. We cannot 81 PICKOUT, 1906 help making special mention of the Dartmouth game, for never will we forget the excitement that ran so high that evening. Even Father Smith brought his silk hat down on the head of the man in front of him at the close of the game. The score of 8 to 3, with not a basket thrown from the floor by Dartmouth, in- dicates the speed at which the game was played. The season of nineteen hundred five and six has been one that never will be forgotten, for out of a total of seventeen games played, there was but one defeat, and that by the strong Andover team, in a fast, overtime game. It is not the purpose here to rehearse, in detail, the various games, for they are well konwn to all, but among them four stand out with such promi- nence that they deserve special mention. The Brown game was a fine example of the team ' s work, for with a score against them of 9 to 3 at the end of the first half Textile went into the game with renewed spirit and came out victorious. Next came the double victory over Dean Academy, defeating them on their own floor as well as in Southwick Hall. The easy victory over the University of Maine, champions of their state, showed that Textile had a team capable of meeting any of the college teams. The Dartmouth game was the last supreme effort and every man on the team, though playing against men that by far out -weighed them, played a magnificent game. Special credit is due to each individual player and to the team as a whole. Captain Church led his men in masterly form and they all re- sponded to the best of their ability. With but four minutes to 82 PICKOUT, 1906 play, and Textile with three points in the lead, the Dartmouth captain and referee ignored the umpire ' s whistle, thereby allow- ing a basket to be scored by Dartmouth after play had ceased. Captain Church justly took exception to this ruling and after ex- hausting all means of settling the matter amicably the game was declared off. Doubtless everyone that witnessed the contest upheld Cap- tain Church in his decision. It is to be regretted that such a successful season ended in the manner it did but no discredit is due the team. ■ 83 1905-1906 BASKETBALL TEAM STURSBERG WALKER FIELDS BICKNELL CHURCH 84 GAY FARR Mcdonald Basketball Ceam 1905-1906 MANAGER WILLIAM WALKER, Jr. Assistant Manager KARL BICKNELL Captain CHARLES R.

Coming, as it does, in the most pleasant time of the year and when the freshmen are fully acquainted with their sur- roundings, there has always been plenty of material to fill the positions, with the exception of pitchers. Like the rest of the teams, baseball has suffered from the lack of funds and proper coaching until recen- tly when a coach has been obtained and supplies have been dealt out freely by the association. The first teams found it difficult to obtain practice and were obliged to play their games at Spaulding Park and the Fair Grounds where it was hard to ob- tain a sufficient following to defray expenses. Little record has been kept of these early teams and what is known of their success has been obtained from the alumni. They do not seem to have been howl- ing successes but we can vouch that, under the circumstances, they were no discredit to Textile. The team of 1905 was probably one of the best teams in the history of our baseball. Out of nine games PICKOUT, 1906 played only three were lost and one of these three was to the Lowell League Team in whose class we could hardly be considered. We had the great delight of shutting out our old rivals, the high school, without a tally in either game, but conceded to give them a pre- sent of one hit in each. Last year was the first time a team has had a graduate coach and the success of this team proved its advisability. We hope, that as far as possible, this idea will be carried out. The prospects for a championship team, for 1906, could not be brighter, for there are only two of last year ' s men gone, and there is plenty of fine material in the freshman class. 89 1905 Baseball Ceam i i w j m i H ' 1 1 iN W r j f , S l|m wLM Photo by Marion o o Churchill Hintze Jones Eames Huntington Kent Bain Stott Midwood Walker Woodruff Warren Abbott Wood o e Baseball team 1905 (§ff tms PHILIP H.

That no meets were won is a matter of history, still it may truly be said that the men who made the team, worked hard and to the best of their ability. The following winter in the interscholastic meet, held at Newburyport, we won second place, and it was at this time that the team, made its best showing. During the term of 1904 the team met to discuss the advisa- bility of continuing track athletics. After talking it over it was decided that as the conditions were then, the best policy would be to turn all our attention to the sports that were on a firmer basis. Accordingly at that time it was dropped, but now that the athletics of the school are on a firmer footing than ever, why not be again represented, and if possible gain back the honors that are in the hands of our old-time rivals ! 93 JACKSON KENT 1904 RELAY TEAM MOORE NEWCOMB 94 HENNIGAN WIGHTMAN Crack Ceam ©flteiL EVERETT B.

The game is participated in by many who have not qualifica- tions for the harder game of rugby, and yet requires fully as much skill. Considering the fact that raw material had to be developed, and that it was the first year that a team was or- ganized, the showing made was a very creditable one. With two games played and won against a strong team of experienced players, Textile has little to fear in the future, and it is planned to arrange a more complete schedule next year. Manager P. W.

Smith, Textile is now the proud possessor of one of the best athletic fields in New England. Would the alumni and upper classmen ever dream to look over that level field, that once they had stood and watched from the drawing room window as great masses of rock were blasted out and heard month after month the rattle of the steam drills ; that not long ago all was so different. All that has passed now and the goal line that is yet to be crossed marks the spot of the ledges that seemed to be immovable. The field is a level expanse of three acres, and is now well sodded. Besides a regulation football gridiron we have a clay diamond and a cinder track having a 120 yard straight-away. The field was opened informally in the spring of 1905, and each game played there thus far has resulted in a victory for the red and black. May this good record continue. Bleachers accommodating about 500, were erected at the be- ginning of the football season and are now used in the basket- ball ball. As the field is not enclosed the managers find it dif- ficult to meet their guarantees for the crowds which are always willing to see the sports are also willing to stand outside the railing instead of purchasing the small tag that entitles them to a seat in the bleachers. 99 lUcarcrs of the C iFootball A.

Our past three years, so quickly flown, have been, to most of us, one round of pleasure, tinged here and there with a streak of blue, always with the thought of a pocket-book back of us, willing to be opened at an honest appeal, Soon all will be different and we will be called upon to keep that pocket-book filled ourselves with our own toil. Perhaps the book knowledge we have gained under the roof of our Alma Mater has not been all that we desired, or not to our liking, so we have dropped some study to devote its time to other pleasures or, perchance we have not applied ourselves to what has been given us, and consequently have failed, but nevertheless, will there be one of us go out from 104 PICKOUT, 1906 these walls who cannot frankly say, I have not thrown these three years away, for I have learned something which would have been unattainable in any other place on earth! It is with regret that the editors of the Pickout learned of the failure of the students to come to terms with Mr. Umpleby, in accepting- his kind offer to turn over the Lowell Textile Journal to the students, for the benefit of the Athletic Association. To say that the students are unable to run such a paper successfully is absurd, for there are many towns, not to be compared with Lowell, supporting monthly and bi-month- ly college publications. It is a recognized fact that the adver- tisements are requisite to defray the expenses, and in a city such as Lowell, there is no end to the people who would find it beneficial to patronize a student publication. Another great advantage is our close proximity to such leading textile centers as Boston, Worcester and Lawrence. The financial success of such a paper would most easily be assured, the only doubt be- ing whether or not there would be enough interest among the students to support such a paper. It is true that the manage- ment of such an article must be in the hands of the persons most capable to run it, regardless of class or fraternity, who will have its interest to heart and exert their best efforts to make it a success. If a paper were conducted in the true spirit in which it should be, there is no question as to its popularity. It could be made of the utmost interest to the al- umni, students and teachers, and a medium through which they might be brought into closer touch with each other, and as such, there is no doubt but that it would be a success. Under classmen it is up to you to grasp this golden op- 105 PICKOUT, 1906 portunity and show the alumni that their younger compatriots have the interests of their Alma Mater at heart and the stamina to reveal this interest. There is at present, in our school, a lack of true college spirit and customs. It was especially noticeable after the vic- tories of our last seasons basket ball team. Instead of giving the team an ovation by a campus bonfire or showing our ap- preciation in a similar manner, there is a grand parade, by a few, to a down town tavern where the fire and excitement of the previously witnessed contest is quenched by other than a fitting celebration. It would be much better if this enthusiam could be spent on a fully attended and wholesome celebration. Go to most any other institution of learning and you will find there, long established customs, some as old as the college itself, such as prohibiting the freshmen to smoke on the cam- pus or in specified places, all of which are dear recollections to every alumnus of the days when he was made to observe them. By these customs the freshmen are made to respect the upperclassmen and to more fully know and appreciate what college life means to him. There seem to have been more of this spirit in the schools younger days and it is doubtless the desire of every alumnus to see some fixed customs estab- lished. 106 Wingate Gay Mr. Spencer Stohn JFW Ehrenfried Mayo Woodcock Possner Arundale f textile Orchestra Director E.

To say that it was a success is putting it mildly, for to use the expression of the public, it was the best amateur performance seen in Lowell. ' ' Great credit is due to the management and especi- ally to Hennigan who besides taking a prominent role, staged the entire performance. We also wish to thank Mr. Barker for his kind assistance in directing the musical part. The first number consisted of the usual minstrels, with hits and jokes on the fellows and instructors. This part of the programme went without a single hitch and presented a very striking appearance with the red suits of the end men against the black over- alls and machine caps of the chorus. The olio, consisting of a well arranged vaudeville, went off with due precision. The numbers were spicy and all contained enough fun to cause the smile that won ' t come off to lighten up the faces in the audience. We hope that the success of this, our first show, will be the beginning of an annual affair in our school for it not only breaks the monotony of routine work, but serves to inform the outside world that there is something more than a set of fine buildings across the river. 114 Cex. nigbt at Colonial Ball Interlocutor ARTHUR C.

SOUTHGATE 120 Hew Vork JHumni Club N the evening of Feb. 28, 1906, the lobby of the Hotel St. Dennis somewhat resembled the halls of the Lowell ' Textile School as the graduates of the different classes from 1899 to 1905 wandered in. This deception was further carried out by the arrival of Mr. James T. Smith, Father of the School; Mr. W. W. Crosby, former Principal, and Mr. Chas. H. Fames, Secretary of the School. The gathering was brought about through the work of a self appointed committee, composed of Mr. Clapp, ' 04, and Mr. Cuttle, ' 99. The time and work they gave to this first meeting was fully appreciated by the alumni present, and should be by the undergraduates, as with the formation of this association New York need no longer be the large, lonesome city to the graduate just starting on his successful textile career. All graduates in New York city and the vicinity, as well as men from. Troy, N. Y., Springfield, Mass., and Kockville, Conn., were present to reward the efforts of the committee, and around the banquet table sat twenty former Textile freshmen, besides the men who had put so many years of hard work to make the school what it now is. At the close of the dinner and after toasts had been re- sponded to, Mr. Cuttle called the meeting to order to transact such business as was necessary to form an organization. After several suggestions were listened to, election of officers took place. Clapp, ' 04, being elected President, and Adams, ' 05, Secretary and Treasurer. 121 PICKOUT, 1906 The meeting as far as business was concerned then ad- journed, and the piano was soon surrounded by men singing about the Good Sea Island Cotton and other material so well known and sung about at the Lowell Textile School. About 12.30 the boys broke away, their sentiment in regard to the first meeting of the N. Y. Alumni being well expressed by one member, who remarked at the table, l ' I have come one hun- dred and thirty seven miles and I have had a H of a good time.

Bradford is the next in line, He wants to be boss all the time. That yellow neckwear brings forth a sigh, And that ' s why we call him Yellow Tie. Old Father Brookhouse, I would like to state, Came home one night when it was very late ; We were much surprised, as the story ran, That Brook came home a married man. The next man came from Clinton, Mass. But he has left us ere alas; Cheney had a red nose all the time, That ' s why the fellows called him Shine. The next man is never in a lurch; You know who I mean, it ' s Charlie Church. As an athelete he can ' t be beat, But to see him study is certainly a treat. Charlie Churchill was always very shy, When a girl came along he would look towards the sky, But now when he meets them his hat he will doff And put on the smile that won ' t come off. 127 PICKOUT, 1906 Herbert A. Currier can sing - like a lark, At fussing - and spooning - he is certainly a shark; But Herby don ' t mind this dear little rap, Considering all things, you ' re a pretty good chap. Frank M. Curtis, the next man to appear, Says things sometimes that are not fit to hear; When he makes a mistake, he ' s a sight to see, That ' s why he is called Profanity. Frank Fleming is the next man ' s name, He comes from Tewksbury, but he ' s not to blame, He ' s known by the ladies for miles around Because he ' s the only fellow in the town. The next is that of George L. Gahm, He ' s fond of a good time and thinks its no harm; All over the school he is known as Fritz, And no man can beat him at drinking Schlitz. A would-be sport is the next in the list, He can fight with his tongue but not with his fists; You know him, Tom Hintze, you see him every place, He ' s so cute and cunning looking that we call him Baby Face. Harold Hildreth, another member of the class, Is just as green as Westford ' s grass; He ' s just as funny as can be, That ' s why we call him Hinky Dee. 128 PICKOUT, 1906 Arthur J. Hennigan, who, strange to say, Has a smile on his face the livelong- day. How he lives with his jokes, is more than we know, For they ' re about as stale as any that go. An awful old fusser is Clarence L. Kent, To call on a girl one night he went; Her father came down and made him depart, But the verv next nig-ht he broke another girl ' s heart. The next is a joker but he ' s not to blame, He comes from Wakefield and his name ' s John Lane; If he should ever start a mill, put it in a shady nook, Otherwise, John, you will surely get the hook. A quiet little fellow and as good as good can be, Is Stewart McKay as far as I can see. If he should ever travel or around the world roam, He certainly will end up in some Old Woman ' s home. William McDonnell, the next in line, Likes to crack jokes all the time, He is idly dreaming from day to day Of those dear old clam flats in South Boston Bay. Guy H. Newcomb, a Fitchburg lad, Is a fellow who very seldom gets mad. A get rich quick scheme is his one delight, So look out for your watch when Newk comes in sight. 129 PICKOUT, 1906 Young- Hans Stohn, I would like to say, On his old violin can more than play; He ' s a shark at designing - , you can ' t jolly him much, And it ' s a picnic to hear him get after the Dutch. Behold a man of great renown, Is Guy C. Swan of Lawrence town. His first year up here, he was awful shy, But if you could see him now, you would say Oh my ! A better dancer it is hard to find Than Arthur C. Varnum so gentle and kind, And when cider ' s in season, there ' ll go up the street A big bunch of fellows led by our friend Pete. William H. Wightman, the chemistry crank, Differs from Ding Cole lean and lank. The same course they -both did pursue, And it took them both four years to get through. Herbie Wood, the little cotton man, Stands knee high to a roving can. At baseball Chubbie is the whole show, Just watch him make those little legs go. Charles B. Woodruff how he hates to work, All he can do is loaf and shirk; He has dropped his studies one by one, And he knows less now than when he beg-un. 130 PICKOUT, 1906 Bradford — In first year Chem. trying- to explain what a vacuum is: — I can ' t just explain it, but I have it in my head. What is the best remedy to Killowatt? There was a man named Wightman, Who thought he was wonderous wise ; He put his fingers in some gears, For the sake of a nurse, we surmise. Prof. Olney:— What is hard water? Stursberg-:— Ice. A QUESTION When Noah built himself an ark To sail the ocean blue, And summoned all the animals To join him two by two. If fate had placed among them Tom Riley, for a whim, I wonder who in thunder Would have walked along with him? 131 PICKOUT, 1906 Henny in Elec. : — Of what use is a shunt wire anyway, the current all goes back? Inst.: — Of what use is a shunt! Well if you put a current of 400 amp. through your ammermeter it would burn it up and you would loose your $75 machine. Henny: — Oh! I see. NURSERY RHYMS Sing a soug - of football, don ' t it make you smile, Two and .twenty players struggeling in a pile. When the pile is opened, hear the awful groans, Boys begin to creep out, looking for their bones. Sections here of noses ; patches here of hair, But they made a touchdown and so what do they care. R. H. B. ' 06. F: — What does that I 2 mean? Inst.: — The square of I. A Treasurer of one of the local mills, on passing through the cotton room, stopped to look at the Universal Winder. One of the cotton men stepped up and asked him if there was anything he might show him. No, answered the gentleman, but what is this mach- ine? That is a Universal Winder answered his informant. Oh, yes! We ' ve got a lot of them down to the mill. 132 PICKOUT, 1906 A SOLILOQUY To crib or not to crib — that is the question; Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer The sting-s and sorrows of examinations, Or to use cribs to bridge great floods of questions, And by answering pass them. To pass, and this Without the use of ponies, cribs, or trots That we are prone to, ' tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. Mayhap to flunk; To flunk; perchance to be dropped — aye there ' s the rub; The thought of being dropped makes cowards of us all. And thus the noble resolutions to abstain From using cribs in truth comes soon to naught. HOYT ' S NAP. Prof. Barker: — We want to get a good color on this wool. Varnum : — Ask the blond from Filenes how to get it. Prof. Barker: — Do you think we want a burned color on it? 133 PICKOUT, 19 06 Speaking- of a Veterinary Surgeon being- Superintendent of a mill. That is all right, said Mac. He could look after the mules. Prof. Olney — during lecture to freshmen — suggests that revenue be removed from alchohol for under existing conditions it costs him fifty cents for a pint at the apothacaries. With- out the revenue he would be able to get a gallon. Church: — Does F. P. mean feet pounds? Mr. Willy seated in the front row of the Boston theatre looks up and sees three ' freshmen in a box and says Gosh! I ' m discovered. 134 PICKOUT, 1906 FAVORITE SONGS I ' m On The Water Wag-on Now.

If ' ' silence is golden Stursberg - must be a free silver man. Prof. Umpleby tells one of the fellows about his trip to Paris. How about that night at the ' Red Mill ' Ump? Wilson to O ' Reardon: — Go up and ask Johnnie Marsh if he is Sunny Jim. O ' Reardon obeys. Exit— O ' Reardon double quick. 136 PICKOUT, 1906 SATURDAY MORNING, 9.30 — A CLASS REUNION Swamp Root, Toastmaster Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the crowd marched in like a chain gang at Sing - Sing - followed by Sunny Jim with his broad ex- pansive smile illuminating his face and an umbrella rack tag- ging at his heels. Then a rousing cheer goes np for the in- structor, and Curtis to the tune of My Irish Molly O, 1 ' tells him of the time we had an ' Electricity Joe to teach us, Curtis excused; leaves the room amid rousing cheers and in ten minutes returns to ask Johnnie if he is now a shunt or still on the main line. Church stands up with a hungry look on his face and tries to pick the currents off the wires. Swan takes off his hat, thinking himself at a wooden wedding as he sees two poles attached, especially when the best man is Wood, while Bradford, in the mean time, is at the blackboard trying to figure out his attractive p iwer as compared to a magnet. Ans. E. M. F.=0. Dutchey, in his cell is trying to kilowatt, while Hinky Dee is trying to obtain a spark from Herbs hair. Pete Var- num asks the toast master if the machine in question, resem- bling two doughnuts and a piece of tripe is a step up or a step down transformer and Churchill through the door, yells, step up and get transformed. An awful crash and our in- structor, with the smile that won ' t come off, excused the class to avoid further trouble. 13 PICKOUT, 1906 FRESHIE Clinging tightly to his mother ' s hand, his face awray with grief, In his heart a sinking - feeling, that is quite beyond belief. Little Freshie came to school one warm September day, Mamma kissed him on both cheeks, and weeping went away. Soon there came along a lordly chap of fully five feet three, When he spied out little Freshie his face grew broad with glee, He teased the little laddie, a wicked thing to do, And the thing that cut the deepest was; Did mamma come with you? Now Freshie was a cunning child, and upper classmen thought That he ' d be quite a fellow when a few things he ' d been taught: So they took him ' round the town with them, and showed him all the sights, And Freshie ' s eyes grew heavy, staying up so late o ' nights. But very soon he tired of this, it went against the grain, His comrades pleaded with him, but their pleadings were in vain; When they called; Oh, come on, Freshie, he looked them up and down, No, I came to learn my lessons in the school, not in the town! Then they guyed him, called him Baby! Mamma ' s little baby boy! But this time instead of teasing him, it seemed to give him joy; Why, he said, it ' s most vacation, and, you fellows, don ' t you see „ That I want to be a good boy, when my mamma comes for me? ' 07. 138 PICKOUT, 1906 A TOAST Here ' s to our school and its boys, Its troubles and trials and joys, To its seniors great, and its sophs less sedate And its freshmen who help swell the noise. To its teachers so kind, though to faults they ' re not blind, To the girls, who its buildings do grace, Give three cheers, lads and lasses, for each of its classes, All in all it ' s a pretty good place. ' 07. Sing a song of pennies; Pocket full, Oh my! Go up and see the Brazars and you will come home dry. Perk.: — What is a batter? Church: — ' ' A batter is a mixture of eggs, milk and flour. FOOTBALL A rush, then a scramble, A tackle, a fall, Four wounded, two senseless, Three dead, that ' s football. Casting pearls before swine. Brownell gets six in one dish of oysters at Kelley ' s. Prof. Nelson: — ' ' There is always a chance to pick up some- thing in a mill. (Loud laughter) Yes! And there are differ- ent ways of picking up. (More laughter.) 139 PICKOUT, 1906 THE BRAZARS FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET To those that know of that fateful night After the Somerville game, None will forg-et the wild events As up the pike they came. To B iston all the Brazar gang Had gone to drown their sorrow. Gone with the thought of forgetting the ptst, Leaving their troubles for the morrow. The night went by one round of pleasure, With supper at Dutchies, and then to the theatre Two per for a box, and what peaceful slumber, For they all slept soundly up to the last number. After the play, to the train they hied, One with a whistle, while another cried: Hurrah! for the Brazars, for they ' re all right Gee! but they all had a bunch that night. But of all the rough houses ever known Get some one to tell of the trip coming home ' Twas one wild round of song and laughter Without a thought of the head that comes after. 140 PICKOUT, 1906 The coeds basketball team is certain to be a great success under coach Farr ' s training-. Prof. Crosby was attending a dance last winter and a young lady asked him if he had been roller skating yv t. No said the Prof. I have ' nt had a skate on this year. 1 ' A PRAYER Good Lord if I ' d a cotton mill, My fortune I would shape; By making our committee here Ten thousand miles of tape. Good Lord, were I a dyer, My children might be fed; By dyeing all that length of tape A rich and brilliant red. Good Lord, were I the faculty, I ' d take this tape and then I ' d hang myself upon a tree — God grant they may — Amen. A. SOREHEAD, 1st Freshman: — I hear they have got a new mule in the woolen department? 2nd Freshman: — What, in our class? 141 PICKOUT, 1906 TELL TALE RHYMES Hurrah for old Textile the place we love best, Where they keep us so busy we never can rest, Its colors of crimson and black brightly gleam, Yet Brooks favorite color was certainly Green. To hear Fleming singing a Ballard sedate, Reminds one of swinging on the old South-gate. Yet while he ' s an artist at singing we know, Newcomb will have it that he sings like a crow. Time ' s never dull when Haskell around, For his jokes, though their stale, will always abound. There ' s Gahm with his Dutch wit, ever ready to spout, Likes beer and pretzels, but not sour krout. It ' s better still to hear Mac ' s Irish wit, Who, down at the Boston, would make a great hit. And Billie Wightman, with his funny smile, Will keep you all laughing, for one good while. There ' s Heine the fusser, whom the girls all adore, Though he ' s won hearts a hundred, there ' s room for one more. While Dodoes the man, whose mamma would disown, If she knew he went strolling, with girls quite unknown. A real devilish man, Riley would be, But every one gives him, the merry Tee Hee. He knows all the coozies that ever knew you, If all that he tells you is only half true. Ever heard of the freshmen ' s basketball team? Who thought that defeat was only a dream, ' Till an infant team from the Y. M. C. A., Made the poor freshies think that they never could play. 142 . fcJ K Famliar Quotations ' ' Our best thoughts come from others. ' ' ' 1 For fools rush in where angels fear to tread. — Pope. I have found you an argument; I am now obliged to find you and understanding. — Cole ex. ' 05. Conspicuous by his absence. Woodruff ' 08. Crabbed age and youth go not well together. — Uncle ' 08. Choose not alone a proper mate, But proper time to marry. — Foster ' 08. Then he will talk — good gods — how he will talk. ■ — Stursberg ' 07, A pretty lad, but bursting with conceit. — Hintze ' 06.

Laugh at your friends, and if your friends are sore, So much the better., you may laugh the more. — The So? ' eheads. 144 Statistics A list of questions were distributed throughout the class and the following- interesting and possibly valuable information was obtained. Age? The average age of the class is twenty-one years, five months and twenty-four days. The young-est man is eigh- teen and the oldest twenty-six. Weight? The average weight is one hundred forty-six pounds and four-tenths. The heaviest man tips the scales at one hundred seventy-two pounds. The lightest man weighs one hundred twenty-five. Height? The average is five feet, eight and seven-tenths inches. The tallest man has to duck when passing through a door under six feet, two inches. The shortest man can boast of sixty-four inches. Most popular man in the class? This honor goes to A. C. Varnum, and two other names were mentioned. Best looking man in the class? Again Varnum has honor heaped upon him, while several others were mentioned, he comes the closest to perfect manhood. 146 PICKOUT, 1906 Homliest man in the class? With all due regards to the face nature gave them, it was conceded that Lane and Hildreth should run neck and neck in this race. Cheer up boys, beauty is only skin deep. Brightest man? This question considered the conception of a man ' s all around abilities, and Wood received this honor. Honorable mention was made of others. Sportiest man? There is no sport like an old sport, and it seemed to De the unanimous verdict, with one exception, that Gahm should have this honor. Wittiest man? The real wit is of the Emerald Isle, and it was a unanimous vote that McDonnell should receive the medal. Biggest bluffer in the class? ' Tis sad to relate, but the truth we must state. Roy H. Bradford received the majority of votes, but there were others mentioned. Man most likely to succeed in life? This question called forth no little degree of imagination and personal conception of what the word success means. The votes were widely scat- tered on this question and Swan and Wood received the same number. Most popular instructor? This honor goes to Mr. Will Nel- son, there being three other names mentioned. 147 missed Picks, 1906 Name Abell, Frederick T. Abbott, Guy S. Barne 1 , Willis G. Bigelow, Edward A. Buttery, Henry M.

QUALITY Wools, yarns, and cloths scoured or washed with ttJyandotte Coxtilo Soda are fast achieving fame and reputation for their superior quality. Wyandotte Textile Soda preserve all the natu- ral softness, openness and elasticity of the wool fiber. It, therefore, imparts to the wool a certain superiority which all Mill Men are striving- to attain. Not only are such wools and woolens softer and more lofty but they are also more attractive to the eye, and when made into gar- ments, wear much longer. The character of the results produced by Wyandotte Textile Soda are of such a nature that no mill man should fail to give them careful consideration. CO. The J. B.
