The scene is laid at the supper table of our Class President some fifteen years ago. Father is perusing the newspapers, while little Spencer, his appetite satisfied, is painting pictures upon the tablecloth with his dessert. Presently father speaks: I read here of a mill agent who receives a salary of $25,000 yearly. Little Si ceases his artistic work and looks up in astonishment, which finally finds words : Favver, O favver, he cries, when I grows up I wants to be a nagent, too. As far as we can see this is the only motive which prompted him to become a member of our class. Chapter One PERHAPS everyone recalls the invasion of our Alma Mater by the remarkable Class of ' Oughty-Seven in the fall of the year of nineteen-four. To say that it was anything but an invasion would be putting it mildly. We literally took the place by storm, and the force of our onslaught so dazed the Sophs that their hazing of our sturdy band was a mere farce ; in fact, so much so, that instead of accomplishing the desired results it produced in us the feeling that we could put it all over them, but only our regard for their feelings forbade us. We were just becoming acquainted with the nature of the duties ahead of us when our minds were again taken from our work, and we were excused one afternoon in early October, to be rounded up in [28] Assembly Hall under the able personal direction and supervision of our, at that time, principal, Prof. Bill Crosby, who favored us with one of his stock of hot air spiels. Class officers were elected, and it fell to the lot of Bill Mayo to guide our footsteps in the path of righteousness, which he did quite cred- itablv, considering. Bv mutual consent Gene Woodcock was appointed Deacon of our flock ; but this was another illustration of appearances being deceitful, and he quickly lost the job, which was given to Farmer. Then arrived Burleigh Putnam, the Jap, and his tutor, Horace Hinds, neither of whom stayed long enough to become acquainted. There were great doings at 35 Mount Vernon Street that year ; and we mustn ' t forget to mention the Pawtucketville gang, who spent their leisure moments shooting Indians in the wilds of Seventh Avenue. After Christmas our numbers were increased by the advent of a few late comers, among whom we might mention Paul Stursberg, the society man from Windy City, who blew in on a Western blizzard to uphold the honor of our class in athletics. After we had selected our professional courses, and had caught on to Professor Olnev ' s curves, life in the lecture rooms grew more interesting. Vesper George ' s series of lectures on Architecture, Ancient and Modern, were embellished by a few fireworks and Si ' s descriptions of buildings he had met. It would be impossible to forget Jack Hylan ' s assertion that Brazil was not in South America, nor the manner in which Paul would argue with Professor Barker as to whether or not card strippings were included in the percentage loss, and ending with the assertion that We don ' t figure it that way in our mill. In spite of the number of practical men we had we were by no means conceited, and we disbanded for the summer with a full realization that we had favorably impressed the upper-class men with a true sense of our importance and ability. [ 29] Chapter Two When we had gathered again from the four corners of the earth, also Hoosatonic and Shirley, we found that not a few of our number were to be classed with the Missed Picks ; however, we felt larger, owing to our added responsibility as Juniors. Our first duty, after letting the school know of our arrival, was to make the Freshies feel as much at home as possible. And we did it ; you bet we did it. Ask Sullivan, Rielly and others too numerous to mention. They ' ll tell you about their hair cuts a la mode, and their harrowing experiences as dead ones, not to speak of other stunts performed by their contemporaries. Having disposed of the Freshmen, we now found time to settle a few of our own weighty questions ; and holding a class meeting we selected Denny Knowland, the cod expert, as our official head, and Bill Walker to represent us in the Athletic Council. Poor Denny was quite flustered over his responsibility, but with an occasional coaching from Sarah, he managed to eke out one year of his existence here without compromising himself. We sincerely believe that were it not for our Course IV men this second chapter could not have been completed. The course is replete as far as the manufacture of history and odors are concerned. The manu- facturing of history was carried on under the leadership of Bick, Father Hoyt and a few others. A favorite diversion of this class was paddling in Industrial Lab. when not making history. Our illustrious ' Oughty-Seven basket-ball team started to hold secret practice about this time, and the schedule included the ' Oughty-Eight team. The game was played, and we surprised the Freshmen exceedingly. They thought we were going to win, but we showed them that it wasn ' t necessary to the upholding of the dignity of our class, so to humor the children we let them have the game. We turned out faithfully for the Show, and furnished some of its best talent, not to mention one or two who were punkie. We also had the best-looking fellows at the dances, even if we do say it ourselves. Then there was Sunny Jim. Those of you who have read Oliver Twist can realize what a horrible apparition we were up against. [30] The remainder of the year, which had passed so quickly for everyone except Kinne, was spent in discussing the Dartmouth-Textile basket-ball game ; and after seeing the Senior Class safely graduated, and on their way, we followed suit, but not before we were firmly established in the hearts and minds of the Faculty as about The Only Class. Chapter Three Many years ago a band of youths, sturdy and green, well-meaning and eager, although ignorant, but, withal, intelligent beyond their years, crossed for the first time that bridge of sighs over the Merrimack which shuts out the joy of living from the monotonous path of duty. With their future in their hands, and a blank look of unexpectancy in their eyes, they placed themselves meekly and confidingly at the mercy of that group of men called Faculty, assembled in those great yellow buildings on that side of the bridge farthest away from the Joy of Life. Into their hands placed they that shapeless mass of clay called future, and they were told that in three years they might return, if they had worked hard and behaved themselves during that time, and receive it, moulded into something tangible. Come and departed twice had ' Oughty-Seven ; for that intelligent band was our humble selves, and had returned for the third and last time with a dignity befitting our rank born of two years ' experience. Many did not return for their lumps of clay ; but those of us who did were imbibed with the feeling that it was the last year, and that the most mus t be made of it. It was with gratification that we realized how we were looked up to with reverence by the Juniors, and for protection by the Freshmen. We had no time, however, to think of worldly joys, but thought of more serious work. As a result two societies of scientific research were established, The Rams and the Alembic Society, and we hope that these will not be allowed to wane by future Seniors. The time passed quickly for all, including the Cambodians, whose inaugural banquet the day of the Lowell-Lawrence game was a howling success. [31] J 9 O 7 The time is fast approaching, however, when we can only look back in retrospect at those days so full of memories, and when we shall stand, loaded with knowledge, on the brink of a yawning, cavernous abyss, gazing into that great beyond, Future, which can be pierced by no mere mortal eyes. We shall stand there waiting; waiting to be ruthlessly pushed off, only to fall down, — down, — down through an infinitude of space, until we strike with a dull, sickening thud upon the sharp rocks of practical experience. [32] The Senior Class William Anderson Bain Bill Baseball Team, 1. Class Basket-ball Team, 2. Soccer Football Team, 2, 3. Alembic. Bill was weaned in Sabattus, Maine, wherever that is, and prepared for the Chemistry Course at Bliss College, Lew- iston. His quiet and uneventful per- sonality leads us to wonder why he emigrated to Lowell. Previous to his exodus from the Pine Tree State he dwelt peacefully among the haystacks. He is by no means what one would call a nefarious character; on the contrary, he is tame and entirely safe. He is a roller skater of no little merit, and is fond of a lady ' s company. He intends to return to the farm this June. Karl Arthur Bicknell A K $ Bick Assistant Manager Baseball, 1. Manager Baseball, 2. Assistant Manager Basket-ball, 2. Manager Basket-ball, 3. Class Treasurer, 1. Class Vice President, 3. Tex Show, 2. Alembic. Bick first graced this mundane sphere in 1886, and is therefore past the period of sweet sixteen by four March blizzards. When erect He rises three feet above an ordinary yard stick, and his weight fluctuates from one fifty to one fifty-eight pounds, according to the din- ner he eats. He is somewhat of a so- ciety man, and is decidedly in the swim in local circles. Fond of nurses; the attraction forced him to leave school to stay at the hospital. Perry Russell Brownell Browney Tex Show, 3. Perry is and always will be a most willing victim of Morpheus. It is re- lated how he, when a little urchin, once made a contract with the above god, who put him in a deep slumber, from which he has never fully recovered. During the three years that he was with us, Browney did his best to present to us his ideal of a sport ' s life, and if he was not successful it was due rather to the materials which nature gave him to work with than to any lack of effort on his part. He is a strong Prohibitionist, and particularly fond of Poland Spring Water. [ 33] J O 7 James Groesbeck Coman S.B. Tex Show, 2,3. Soccer Football Team, 2, 3. On April 4, 1885, there was born in that good old state of Mississippi, a baby, later called James Groesbeck Co- man. After spending some time in the schools of the South, he ventured to try those of a milder climate. He is a strik- ing example of that type of man which, though much discussed, is exceedingly rare at Textile— the plugger. He is sure to glean every possible bit of knowledge from his books, and is one of the few to whom the Faculty have granted a leave of absence so that the rest of the class might catch up. He has no use for the ladies, and does not smoke, chew, drink nor swear. Albert Wood Craig Butts Alembic. There was no noise or commotion in the fall of 1904 when Lawrence High sent one of her most quiet sons to join the alchemists. While his greatest fault is a tendency in lavish expenditures and wagers, in a tit of the wildest extrava- gance he has been known to spend as much as twenty-five cents in a single day, and even once paid a bet of ten cents. He is a studious boy, but his laurels have never won for him any great fame. Fond of walking, he spends his spare time in pacing the distance to Lawrence in order to save carfare. He intends to travel for some undertaker, as he has made a specialty of dyeing. Jacob Benjamin Ehrenfried j Jack Class Vice President, 2. Tex Show, 2, 3. Show Management, 3. Orchestra, 2, 3. Mandolin Club, 3. President Athletic Association, 3. Pickout Board, 3. Rams. Jack journeyed into our midst from thai bean-famed town. What he came here for no one seems to know. His aim during his stay here was to be able to sit around and watch the other fellow work, so we take it that he will want an agent ' s job when he graduates. Most any time he could be found comfortably seated on a bobbin in the Wool Room, and when not there, he was occupying a front seat at the Hathaway, as he is an ardent fol- lower of vaudeville. His contributions for the shows prove this in his orig- inal (?) sketches. He is a woman hater. but really did have a good time at the Frat. dances. [ 34] ® oAucru-Xs J £ O 7 Chester Jefferson Farmer Alembic. Chester hails from that quaint old town of Andover, and for this reason many were of the- impression at first that he had studied at the Theolog. Seminary; hut we were mistaken. His quiet, sober way soon won for him the title of Dea- con of the Class, and he has upheld that office to the satisfaction of most everybody. Chester ' s aim in life is to become a great chemist, and on this ac- count he has been known to study as many as thirty-six hours in a day besides going to school. Rather fond of the ladies; he can be found escorting them about tile building in his leisure moments. Spencer Howard Haskell o n Si Class President, 3. End Man Tex Show, 2, 3. Pickolt Board, 2, 3. Rams. Journal. In the year of 1S84, at a small town about 45 minutes from Broadway, there came into this world one of the greatest curiosities that has never been captured. He is one of those fellows that was born talking, and has been talking ever since. Si has always been very fond of expounding on the magnificence of our library, and until lately could be found most any time with a microscope searching for the same. A confirmed bachelor and woman hater, although he likes to be in their company. Professing to have but one enemy, it is said that should he and Sunny Jim ever meet there would be a warm time. George Wilmer Hathorne Hathy Pickolt Board, 2. Alembic. George W. Hathorne, the dig of the class, came to join the bunch of unsoph- isticated youths in the chem. lab. after having spent a year at Tech. His motto has been get your money ' s worth, and we trust that he has got it. He has been conspicuous by his silence, and our knowledge of his aims is only fragmen- tary. Having had his picture taken sev- eral years ago, he deemed it unnecessarv to sit for one at this time. Hathy is very bashful, but is fond of the ladies, and would like to be a ladies ' man, but doesn ' t dare to try. As the only man from Xorth Andover, he has upheld the honor of the Turkey town while in Lowell. [35 ] z oJcJcn LJ J 9 O 7 Charles William Henry Hoyt Father Tex Show, 3. Alembic. Brimming ' over with the great amount of knowledge acquired at the Lowell High, Father came to Textile in the fall of 1904. He is one of the best imi- tators in this part of the country, and has been sought after for vaudeville, but he prefers to study chemistry. He can bark like a tree, so that it is impossible to tell the difference, even if you are looking. His greatest fad, however, is wearing a floor mop. Several collections have been taken for his benefit on this account, but to no avail ; and at one time, when a Freshman, the upper-class men took things into their own hands, and re- moved some of his pride. Roy Ward Kinne E Tex Show, 2. Class Treasurer, 3. As the Man from Housatonic, Half the Cotton Class, and several other titles, Rov managed to meander along in his studies until the first of February. At that time a certain young lady from Great Barrington happened to visit friends in a nearby town, and since then we have seen very little of him. He was a stern promoter of the cut system, and could think of more excuses in a minute than the ordinary man could in an hour. His greatest ambition was to get married, and we take it that this is what caused him to leave school. He was alwavs a slick dresser, but never to extremes, and was exceedingly fond of letter writing. It is said that he thought nothing of writing a hundred page letter every night. Daniel Power Knowland Class President, 2. Tex Show, 2. End Man Tex Show, 3. Knowland, better known as Denny, came to Textile to study chemistry, but since the beginning of the last year he seems to have lost all interest in that line, as he spends most of his time in the Art Room. His attraction for Art must be great, for he may be found there any time of dav or night. As promoter of the track team he gained considerable re- nown last year, but it soon dropped when his team failed to materialize. He hails from that rockbound town of Marble- head, and expects to ship as a chemist on one of the New York Yacht Club ' s boats next summer. [36] oAz T-L ty J S O 7 Earl Cushing Merriman Cupid Rams. Cupid, the angel of the class, after preparing at the Kitchburg High, was tired out for painting the town red, and dropped into the Woo] Department. lie was one of those quiet, angelic hoys when he first arrived in Lowell, hut time has completely changed him, for he is now considered one of the sports. His pink complexion and large build made him at once most popular with the ladies, and at no time is he unable to find com- pany in that line. Earl expects to run a mill when he graduates, but is now hunting for a job. Charles A bel Raymond Alembic. Raymond is one of the modest, harm- less kind, and when not plugging he may be found in the dye lab. mounting samples. His chief ambition in life is to be left alone, as he is seldom seen chin- ning ' with anybody. His answers in quizzes are always in monosyllables, and whether it is because he is bashful, or because it hurts him to talk, we have been unable to find out. AVe are inclined to think it a combination of both. How. ever, this does not prove that he is not Abel. His favorite lunch is two hams. Norval Robertson Scotty Soccer Football, 2, 3.

As the baby of the class he has taken the prize at several shows, and can be depended upon as a winner every time, for he will keep the judges in laughter with his cu- riously constructed English. He is a stanch friend of Coman ' s, and spends his spare time kicking the gas ball. [37] J S O 7 Francis Everett Storer A K $ Franz Frank Class Secretary, 1. Soloist Tex Show, 2, 3. Rams. Frank jumped to Textile from Dean Academy to study design, but later changed to the Worsted Course. As an athlete, in his younger days, he was a star, but having won the heart of a Co-ed his athletic ambitions failed. He was a member of the old Claverly Hall Gang, and was ever ready to help along the rep- utation of said bunch until he assumed the duties of a husband. As one of the Wool twins he can be found most any time with his partner digging in the grease. Charles Henry Stott £ Stotty Baseball, 1. Basket-ball, 3. Class Treasurer, 2. Business Manager Pickout 1907. President Alembic. Stotty spent his prep. days at Lawrence High, and journeyed into Lowell one day on a wrong train. He decided to stay, however, and try a whack at chemistry. As Official Banker for the Cambodians, he, like many other bankers, was advised by his physician to take a trip for his health (?) This he did, and little has been seen of him since. Fondness for a certain young lady in Lawrence is said to really be the cause for his absence. He is daft over dancing and a good game.

Great Paul, the Beau Bruramel of the class, blew across the plains from that City -of Winds about the middle of our first year. He came with recom- mendations from all the great society centers of this country and abroad. Low- ell society was taken by storm, and has never fully recovered from the blow. With his all-round athletic ability he has upheld the honor of ' 07. One of the most popular men in school, and a great fusser.

Eugene Close Woodcock first sat up and took notice in Lawrence, Mass. During his early childhood lie caused his parents much anxiety by eating the wool off his toy lamb ' s back. Since then lie has always had a hankering for wool in any form. One day lie greatly surprised the gang by figuring out how far it was from Lowell to Lawrence, when he walked, with no data to work by except the distance. Perk learned of his math- ematical ability, and as a result allowed him to correct first-year mech. prob- lems just for practice. However, Gene is a good all-round man, and if he doesn ' t succeed at the wool business will become a journalist and author. To 1907 Tis time ' s majestic loom that bears The fabric of our college years. With warp of sun and woof of shade, Our hopes, our fears, the web is laid. Sometimes the thread may faltering be, But through our changing destiny The threads of purest gold are woven, ' Tis love for Tex and 1907. Dear college mates, e ' en now the hush Of farewell dims the loom ' s swift rush ; Already from the loom there move The webs of those we e ' er shall love. To brighter tint the somber ground We weave love fibers in, and round Our hearts, that stand for courage bold, We twine the tried faith of the gold. L ' ENVOI Dear Senior Class, we sing to thee A song of love and loyalty. To thee, whate ' er the days may bring, Our tenderest memories still will cling.

Dear S : — I have just come across the letter that I wrote to you about a year ago. It was among some papers which you left on my desk the last time that you were here . What a change has taken place. I look back now and see what a chump I was, but we balanced our account with the Freshies this year for what Noughty-Seven did to us then. I got back my two dollars with two dollars more for that seat in the Chem Lecture Hall, for I met a Freshman who was even a bigger sucker than I. Although we didn ' t go to such extremes as were forced upon us last year, we managed to keep the Freshies hustling and furnishing amusement for the town and upper classmen. 0 ' Sullivan attempted to do some hazing on his [45] own account but was met by a rebuff; the younger class was ready for him, and he re- ceived the worst end of the bargain. Several of the boys did not return this year; and what do you think, Thompson left in order to study for the ministry. Brooks, the chap who was so interested in the Dracut Bap- tist Church, went to China as a missionary, and Uncle Jack Delano is working for the American Woolen Company at Lawrence. Of course you remember others among the missed picks, but they seem to have beat it for the tall timber. Everything is progressing in about the same old rut, with a little excitemen t here and there to enliven us up a bit. About the first of the fall, a Freshman, who tried to make good, gave a blowout at the Synagogue and we were all there, but the poor Freshmen who were invited didn ' t stay very long. I wonder why? Al and Heinie have christened Mrs. Whitman ' s place Venus Haven . I fail to see the significance of the name, but we do have good times there. We haven ' t had many bathrobe [46] parades to the Spa lately for most of the fel- lows have chafing dishes, so we tramp over to Charlie Scharff ' s store to invest in miscel- laneous articles with which to mix up our own feeds. Naturally we have to wander down town after each basket-ball game, as we are generally hungrier at that time and cannot wait to cook the stuff ourselves. You remember my telling you how some of the class of Noughty-Seven had a circus with the card in the wool room; well, we thought that a great joke, but they had the joke on us this fall. Cy Perkins, I think that it was he, was working on the new D S mule, but what he did I can ' t say, for he was foxy enough to go off and leave it when he found it wouldn ' t go. Shortly after that Harry Arundale came along and turned on the juice, but the mule moved not; there was a kick and Harry got out of the way just in time. He wasn ' t angry but he wouldn ' t vociferate to us for a month. There are great times in that wool class. Dodo was rinsing out the scouring bowls the other day with the hose when Prof. Barker [47] spoke to him rather sharply. I guess that he wished he hadn ' t, for Dodo gave him the bene- fit of the whole stream. No one laughed. You remember Dick Abbott, don ' t you? He was the fellow who played right tackle on the football team last fall. Dick had a very nice notebook and always took great pains to put it out of danger of being spattered by water and soapsuds. One day, however, when our wool class was working in the scouring room, Dick placed his notebook on the feed apron of the carbonizing duster. Some of Sargent ' s men were working on this same machine, and without see- ing Dick ' s book started the duster. In about half a minute there was a bin full of bits of paper. Dick says that it was a put-up job, but you know that none of us would be so mean as to take advantage of such an unsuspecting victim. Our class was well represented in athlet- ics. Dwight was captain of the football team and Farr captain of the basket-ball, but some- how luck seemed against us, for Frank was hurt so that he played only in about half the games; [48] and when the time for basket-ball came darned if Heinie didn ' t catch the mumps. On the whole, we were well represented in all school activities, having men in the orchestra and in the show. When we get through next year I think that we can safely say that we did our best for old Textile. Write soon, 1908.

Secretary -Treasurer Representative to Athletic Council [56] g t ' x A crz+sts J S O 7 A Chronicle of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Nine ON the twenty-sixth day of September, nineteen hundred and six, the Lowell Textile School again opened its doors ; not for the sole purpose of allowing the second and third year men to continue their studies and graduate with all due honors, but to allow that ribald bunch, the Freshmen, to come in and be maltreated by the Juniors. We say this with all due courtesy to our betters (?) and without the slightest tinge of sarcasm, but, from our treatment here the first few weeks, it appears as if the latter purpose was the most profound. A more conglomerate mass of ignorant humanity was never before as- sembled. Greeks and Turks from the mills of Lawrence jostled among the would-be sports from Boston ; farmers from ' York State and Western Massachusetts vied with the almond-eyed representatives of the Celestial countrv and other numerous infants from the Lord knows where. Knowing that, if left to themselves, they would be their own undoing, the Juniors, with a truly paternal manner, undertook to show the Freshies the one and only narrow road that leads to knowledge. Being naturally half witted, we were instructed to look up to and respect these upper-class men as our natural guardians and protectors. They, not we, were the ones to decide whether or no we were to wear our trousers turned up, to indulge in the weed of consolation, or, for what they considered our moral welfare, warned us, nay, forbid us, to go down Market Street. [ 57 ] For some weeks they heaped these and other indignities upon us until, becoming discouraged, they left us to our own destruction, finding us to be utterly hopeless and fit for nothing better than to instruct children in ' and-looms. As soon as the Juniors left us alone we began to get settled, both materially and mentally, and our tabular views were made out to the Prin- cipal ' s satisfaction, if not to our own. We no longer got lost while going from the students ' room to the chem labs. About the first of October the football team was called out for practice, and the Freshman Class responded in a good manner. Fairbanks, Murray, Newall and Prescott did such good work that they were able to make the team, and were rewarded by receiving their T s. On the twelfth of October we held a class meeting and, working under the theory that a large body denoted a great executive ability, elected Big Jim Murray for President and Bill Fitzpatrick, Vice President. We also elected Nipper Smith, Secretary -Treasurer ; and here is where our theory was knocked askew, for, as the saying goes, some good things are done up in small packages. About this time Georgie Scherer came drifting in from some un- heard-of-place, and in the words of that popular song, he walked right in and turned around, and walked right out again. We rather guess that Georgie didn ' t like the map of the school, — due to the fact that he stayed with us only a few weeks ; but during that time he managed to act as scorer, to our amusement, at one of the basket-ball games. Stoney also furnished considerable fun for us with his weekly editions of The Blud and Mud. A considerable amount of his time was spent on this Freshman paper, for it contained all of the latest hits as well as notifying us when Mullen expected to visit his cousin (?). The most extraordinary edition, however, was the one in which Stoney elaborately pictured the ghost walk at Chadbourne Hall. He wasn ' t [58] the ghost, — far from it ; but he was the one that saw it, and he hasn ' t finished telling about it yet. The Cherub, that fat man from Brown, will not be forgotten in a day either. How we would group around him in the corner of the mechanical drawing room and listen to his unique way of making music bv use of a pencil against his teeth. The H C N and the K I societies were also formed among the chem- istry bunch, and much rivalry existed between them. The K I ' s, how- ever, soon assumed a popularity among the other students from their discovery that H C N could easily be changed to HEN. The result is obvious. Many of the ankle-cuff variety of Freshmen who enrolled in the cinch courses have since been unable to keep up with their classes, and It costs just two thousand per year To keep them in college, the dears. Now watch the sweet pets Flunk out neatly, you bet, Cry, O and then disappear.

A few of us have some idea of what it is to work and earn our own living, for we have worked during the few months of each summer vacation, and many spare afternoons of the term. There are others, however, who have spent their vacations sauntering along the beaches, or tramping in the mountains. Some have positions waiting for them when they graduate, but the ma- jority will have to find their own. Don ' t expect, fellows, that some cor- poration is coming to you and hand you a nice fat plum, for such is seldom the case. You will have to work, and let your employer see what you are worth. It is up to you to make good. Don ' t get discouraged; keep plugging, and you will come out on top. Stop to think, now that you are about to leave school, have you studied and worked in the laboratories as you should, or have you just crawled along by the skin of your teeth, trying to fool the instructors, and have as easy a time as possible ? If so change your tactics, for you will never get along in the world as you ought. It is unnecessary to be a plug to accomplish the best results, for in many cases a plug is in as bad a fix as the man who never studies. He knows what is in each book almost by heart, and can run certain machines because he has been taught how ; but can he, when a new subject or machine comes up, take it and solve its problems ? In many cases no ; but the man who can take his book and study, and then is able to solve the new problems quickly, is the man that is wanted to-day. At the first of the school year the Junior Class introduced some old college customs, such as forbidding the Freshmen to smoke near the school, or to wear red and black bands on their hats. For some few weeks it was [ 86 ] c A o u £ J S O 7 continued, and the Freshmen dared not call their souls their own. One or two daring men, however, broke the rules, and as nothing was done about it, in a short time all was quiet again, the Freshmen doing as they pleased. This proves that more spirit ought to be shown, not only in this instance but in evervthing that is entered into. The football team for this last vear was certainly as good as the school has ever had, but the credit is due to a few only. These always reported at practice when c alled, and worked hard to win their T ' s. Rumors of disapproval were heard from several sources to the effect that fraternitv men and their most intimate friends were the onlv ones able to make the team, but this was not the case. At practice there were seldom men enough to form one eleven, and because fellows of known ability were finally persuaded to play, there were consequently some who felt slighted ; but thev had a chance to show what thev could do, and didn ' t improve the opportunitv. The editors of the PlCKOUT are pleased to see that during the last vear the journal was placed under the management of the students. A very efficient board was appointed, and under the direction of Mr. Fer- guson have entirely remodeled the paper. The new cover, by Mr. Clark, is quite an original idea, and is a great change from those formerly used. The material within the covers is also changed, so that each department has its own columns. A continued article for each, with the jokes and funny sayings, will make it much more interesting than that of former days.

Parker c Aucr-u £ J 9 O 7 A Reminiscence SEATED in one corner of his office was rather a voung-looking gentleman, wearing a straw hat on the back of his head and a coat which gave evidence that the owner passed much of his time in the mill, the bang, bang, bang of whose shuttles could be heard through the dividing wall of the room. He sat before a desk piled high with papers, letters, reports, orders, and requisitions. Samples of yarn and cloth could be seen from various parts of the chaos. He drew a long sigh when he viewed the tumbled mass before him, wondering when he could clear it away and attend to all the orders, that they might be properly filled in accordance with the promised deliveries. It had not always been thus in the mill. Once he could have carried the entire work in all details, from power house and storehouse to shipping department, but within the last few years business had improved ; the entire mill was running to its capacitv and some overtime. Orders were increasing in both number and amount. The directors had already voted to increase the plant, which meant new machinery in all departments, together with larger engines and more boilers. The various buildings of the plant were somewhat scattered, and the loss of power in transmission was already demanding serious attention from the owners. With the increase, what changes in this line would be necessarv ? ' ' Wish I could get some of this detail oft my mind. Strange we cannot find some young fellow to give me a lift, he muttered, while glancing at the letter on top, which said that twenty cases of a certain [95] teJfill. fete JfcuJ i i a rm (p j i §MLL o - X u 2 J o X style must be shipped within a week. At the same time there came a knock at his door, and a young man was ushered in. He handed a letter to the superintendent, who, after hurriedly reading it, looked up, and scrutinized the young man from head to foot without saying a word. He stopped at the face, which was one of character and intelligence, and said in an interrogatory tone, Lowell Textile School, eh ? Yes, sir, replied the fellow. When did you graduate, this last June? asked the superintendent. I did, again answered the fellow. I presume you have had no experience in this line of work, and know only what you have received from that school. But even that is good, as I remember it, and gives a fellow a stepping stone when he does get out, remarked the man, for his mind went back to his own school days, and he could not help but look beyond his visitor to the farther wall, where hung his diploma. I worked a part of my summer vacation in a mill similar to yours, so I think I know something of the life. I understood you wished to hire someone to assist you, so thought I would make an application in person, explained the young man. The superintendent questioned him for some time, and then decided to try him. It was agreed that he should commence work on the fol- lowing morning, as the need of assistance was pressing. After the arrangements had been completed, the conversation turned to Lowell and its textile school ; for the superintendent was one of the early grad- uates, and as he had not visited Lowell since his school days, he was interested to hear of the changes there. While the young man, fresh from the scenes of his school days, was describing all the departments of the school, their equipment, location, and courses of study, the athletic and social events, the last baseball victory, or the new study introduced, the thoughts of the older man, aided by a picture L97] THE NEW SCHOOL of the first school hanging on the wall, took him back again many years. A dozen or more instructors, five departments, a few looms, some cotton machinery, a set of woolen cards and a woolen mule, a small chemical laboratory which had to be used as a lecture room, recitation room, and dveing laboratory combined, a design room with a few desks, were the facts which came first to mind. All these located on two and one-half floors of the Parker Block on Middle Street in the ' very heart of the city marked the beginning, and is the picture painted on the walls of memory of many of the early students. No chance to play baseball or football un- less they went to the South Common or the Fair Grounds, and then there was very little school spirit to attract to such sports. No chance even to get a breath of fresh air, for neither the street on one side or the alley on the other could boast of an extra supply of ozone. Contrast with this what the young man was telling : a set of isolated buildings situated on the bank of the Merrimack River, within sight of Pawtucket Falls ; of the eighteen acres of land stretching back from the bank, and offering ample opportunities for future expansion and growth ; of the one building, Southwick Hall, named in honor of Royal Southwick, grandfather of Frederick Fanning Ayer, that generous benefactor of the school who constantly keeps in mind and sight the school and its results, who comes to its aid unsought that its work may not be impaired. This one building, containing the Chemistry and Dyeing, Mechanical, Designing, Finishing, and Decorative Art Departments, beside the general offices and assembly halls, is alone larger several times than was the entire floor space of the old school. He tried to picture it, but could not. To this were added Kitson Hall, devoted to Cotton Yarns, with a drawing room, machine shop, locker room, students ' room in the basement, and the Falmouth Street Building, where are located the Weaving and Woolen and Worsted De- partments. These buildings form the three sides of a quadrangle, the [99] fourth side remaining open for the present, but with provisions for a fourth building when the growth of the school demands it. On the north side is the campus, with its gridiron and diamond, which, by means of the door from Kitson Hall, are of easy access to the students ' room, with its lockers, shower baths, and toilets. The super- intendent recalled the days when he with difficulty mustered nine or eleven fellows to practice for the next Saturday ' s game, and was obliged to use all his moral suasion to induce them to walk a mile or more to the grounds. Wish I could go back there, he thought. By the way, said the younger, Mr. Ayer has just purchased and given to the school a large tract of land directly opposite, so the school can in no way be shut in. But what about the machinery they have? I presume this has kept pace with the growth of the school, inquired the older alumnus. This but added new life to the narration of the younger, and he had not com- pleted when the mill bell ra ng for the noon hour. They both started, and looked at their watches to make sure there was no mistake in the time. The young man apologized for taking so much time, but the older only smiled, and remarked : You must work overtime until my desk is cleared to pay for this forenoon. I shall expect to see you at 6.30 A. M. to- morrow. Good day. [300] 2 ' oALXtt ts J 9 O 7 Athletics A THLETICS, during the present school year have been con- tinued upon the successful lines of the past two years. The teams of last fall and winter made excellent records, and did much toward placing future teams in competion with colle- giate opponents. High School games are a thing of the past, the schedules of the last two years having been filled satisfactorily without games with High School teams, the local High School proving an exception last season. Textile is now considered a worthy opponent for any amateur school team, having defeated teams rated much stronger and faster, time and again. Financially, the Athletic Association is not so strong as it should be, but the Annual Textile Show is doing much to relieve Athletic debts. With the Association free from debt, managers and captains of teams need not be handicapped, as were the officers of past and present teams, by the necessity of purchasing supplies on credit from a limited number of busi- ness houses, resulting many times in an increased deficit in the teams ' annual reports. In the midst of this prosperity the combined efforts of students and members of the earlier teams in prolonging the struggle of Athletics for existence during the first few years of the school is almost forgotten. In 1900 a baseball team was formed, more as a source of recreation for the students than a representative school team. Shortly afterwards basket-ball and football teams created sufficient interest to cause a reor- ganization of the Athletic Association in 1902. At the first meeting eighteen students were present, the old Association was considered defunct and legislated out of existence, and a subscription raised to pay the old debts and continue the teams. The membership was soon increased to twenty-seven, and this limited number of students, together with the [102] o-ic cJO Lsts J S O 7 assistance of the instructors of the school, financed baseball, football and basket-ball teams for two years. These teams were not successful so far as victories were concerned, being repeatedly defeated by the High School teams of Lowell, Haverhill and Salem. A touchdown in a football gam e was a novelty for Textile. In baseball, if Textile made half the runs of its opponents the rooters were satisfied. A victory by any team seemed beyond the highest hopes of even the most faithful rooter, and celebrated accordingly. When the times and places for practice are considered, the discour- aging conditions under which Athletics were conducted may be realized. The classes were held on the upper floors of the Parker Block, Middle Street, in the center of the city, and sessions closed at 5 o ' clock. The nearest ground for baseball practice was the First Street Dump (nearly a mile away from the school), where only a partial diamond could be laid out. Teams reported for practice at 5.30 P. M. The Fair Grounds, a good mile and a half awav, were used for football, teams reporting at 5.45 p. M. Basket ball teams practiced in the Armory, a journey of a mile, reporting on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. During noon hours the batteries limbered up in the alley in the rear of the school. With such adverse conditions a winning team was out of the question. A losing team usually means poor support, but the rooters at the old school knew the meaning of school spirit. They realized that the members of the teams were doing their best, and in such circumstances their efforts were worthy of royal support. A few instances of what these rooters did for their school and their teams were : financing of the teams with little if any deficit at the end of the season ; hiring of a special car to go to Haverhill to see Haverhill High School defeat Textile 12—0 (even the mascot, a goat, was not sufficient to win the game) ; the drag and tally-ho trip to Lawrence ; and the spirit of ten students walking to Westford and back (not being able to make train connections), the walk of twelve miles being rewarded by the usual Textile defeat. The opening of the new school buildings in Moody Street was the commencement of better Athletics, not better spirit. The long walks of two or three miles, to and from practice, were done away with as the [103] campus gave sufficient opportunity for good practice in baseball and football. A second reorganization of the Athletic Association was demanded under the increase in membership and new conditions. Athletics are now on a firm basis ; the Association is in good hands, the teams are successful, winning eighty-five per cent of their games steadily, and with the new record established by Manager Farr ' 08, of handling a team with a balance on hand at the end of the season as a precedent for future teams, little difficulty need be expected in future Athletics. A more careful watch on expenditures might be beneficial. A correction of this, undoubtedly, will come in its proper time, as far greater evils have been satisfactorily overcome in the past. A comparison of Athletics at the old school and at the new school brings forth facts that are, at the same time, both pleasing and disagree- able. The older students considered Athletics as a combination of teams composed of willing players, working faithfully for the good of the school under the most discouraging circumstances imaginable. The students in their turn worked hard for the teams, considering an Athletic debt a debt of honor. It was a common thing to see ninety per cent of the entire school at a game with an assured defeat for Textile the outcome. Present students have winning teams, and good, willing workers, bringing victory after victory to Textile. An instance of the student support this last winter was an attendance of forty, twelve of the spectators being instructors. It speaks well for the teams, however badly for the students ; and as the comparison of old and new is made, the question arises, What would the rooters of 1900-1903 have done with the present teams to support? They deserved winning teams far more than the student of to-day. [104] LTSj Officers JACOB B. EHRENFRIED ..... President Braman Proctor ...... Vice President Horace W. C. S. Ballard ....

More spirit was shown this last year than for many years previous. Why should it be otherwise ? The school has grown considerably in the ten years of its existence. Yet there is not the spirit that there should be in proportion to the size of the school. Go to any other institution the size of our own, and from September to Thanksgiving the whole school, not a few men only, are enthusiastic over the game. When the first call for the team is given, usually two or three days after school has opened, there is a grand rush for the campus on afternoons when the team is at practice. Men enough to fill three or four times the number of positions on the team respond, and await their respective turns for a try-out ; and those not able to turn out, watch with great interest the results of hard practice on their fellow-men as they gain in strength. This last fall a mass meeting was held, and Manager Farr was able to collect an amount of money sufficient to place the team in a fairly good position so far as regards equipment and supplies. About eighteen men responded to the first call of Captain Dwight, and within a week after school started the team was practicing regularly. Although we lost some valuable men last year, the deficiency was made up from the incoming class. Th ere was Prescott, Murray, and Newall, who had earned their L ' s at Lawrence, and Fairbanks, who played end on the strong Fitchburg High team, all of whom made their T ' s. Then Strauss, who is some- what of a sprinter, played sub. at left half back. Dick Abbott played tackle this year with Cy Perkins in Dick ' s old place at center. Morton played quarter back with a snappy touch that made our Great Paul keep his eyes open. As a whole the team, although made up of lighter men than ever before, played a very snappy game against heavier teams than they have been in the habit of playing. [108] a cJo u Cy J 9 O 7 Everything went Textile ' s way at the beginning of the season. We were not surprised at walking away with the first two games, but when the fellows returned from Groton with another victory everybody was jubilant. The Rindge Manual game was one sided, as the score shows ; but when the Tech Freshmen came along we found that we were up against it. In the first scrimmage Captain Dwight was injured to such an extent that he was obliged to retire for the rest of the season. Stursberg was made captain for the remaining games, and carried the team on most creditably to more victories. The Somerville game looked like a toss-up, with Somerville a little to the good; but when the time came our Great Paul took his team to Broadway Field and showed Somerville that we were there to avenge ourselves for the defeat of the year before. Every man of the team worked hard and was rewarded with his T. Many of the alumni who followed the games acknowledged that this last season ' s team was the best that Textile ever produced. [109] .

As only three of the players on last year ' s star team were in school, it was impossible to get to- gether another team that could go through the season with a clean slate, considering the hard games we had to play. In spite of this fact, however, a number of good players came out to the first practice, and with the three ' varsity men of last year ' s aggregation, a team of unexpected strength was developed, and at the opening game of the schedule was prepared to make a strong fight for the honors with any opponent. The season opened with a very interesting game with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which Textile won, and this game proved that the school had a team of which she might well be proud. The next game was very easy, and Textile might just as well have played alone as far as their opponents were concerned, for in this game the team work was verv good. The first real hard game of the season was with the University of Vermont. The visitors presented a very strong team, with excellent team work, and these facts made a very close game, each team alternating in gaining the lead ; but toward the end Textile made a final spurt, and when the whistle blew the score stood 11 to 10 in favor of the home team. Textile continued to win all of the home games up to the time for starting on the three days ' trip through Vermont. This was the first extended trip ever taken by a Textile team, and they kept up the high standard of the previous games by winning two of the three games played, losing only to the strong team of the University of Vermont. This was due in part to the poor condition of the players, as they were completely tired out from the games played the two evenings before. At this time the team received a serious setback. Captain Farr and Holden were taken ill, and Stursberg was conditioned, thus forcing the [114] team to finish the season without the services of these three players. This weakened the team considerably, coming as it did just before the Tufts ' game, which was one of the hardest of the season. Textile ' s team was made up chiefly of substitutes, and so went down to the first defeat ever sustained on the home floor. In spite of this the members of the team worked hard and improved their team play, and finished the schedule, fighting all the time against great odds. With these drawbacks confronting it the team could not be expected to win all the contests, but succeeded in coming out victorious in the majority of the games. New players had to be developed during the season, as Gay and Bunce were the only members of the team to play in every game. Although only a majority of the games were won, many good things can be said about the season ' s work that will help a great deal in the making of next year ' s team. Perhaps the most noticeable fact is that many new players had to be developed, and in this way a strong nucleus was made for a successful team next year, as we lose only two of the seven men that won their letter.

Only two men of the older team were gone, and there was good material in the Freshman Class. As usual the enthusiasm did not run very high, but a fairly good showing was made by the student body and alumni at the games. Al- though the team of the previous year made a reasonably good record, it cannot be expected that a team, no matter how good, can stand up without any support from their fellow-students. It is hoped that in the present season everybody will take hold and work to help the team to victory, for victory may be aided to a great extent by the presence of a large support in attendance and with a good cheering staff. From a glimpse at the schedule of the games last year it will be seen that we are well in the class of the secondary colleges, for our only defeats were by teams from colleges which make a great issue of baseball. The Andover team always has a reputation with which it is hard to be com- pared, their first team time and time again defeating teams from the big four, while Holy Cross ' s reputation for turning out men for the profes- sional field is known the baseball world over. It is not surprising that we should be defeated by their second team, as in many cases the second team is nearly as good as the first. Captain Walker in his old place behind the bat kept his team in good form all of the season, and Eames showed that he felt sure of the support of the field. Al Weinz added greatly to the staff, and played as if he had always been a Tex man, while Skip Fields stole bases in his usual grand old style. [120] AYER ATHLETIC FIELD i c Aix? U-s£s J S O 7 D. W.

The team could get plenty of games, but they were with local teams. What was wanted was games with teams from schools or colleges. Of course the game is comparatively young in this country, and has not been adopted fully, as there seems to be no idea of doing away with or ren- ovating football to such an extent that that game will be abolished. The team has played only one game so far this season, but there are hopes of more before the season is over. On November 22 they journeyed to Soldiers Field, and played the Harvard eleven, tying them with a score 1 to 1. Great satisfaction is expressed, however, as it was expected that we would go to certain defeat. It is hoped that the Cambridge team will return the game as soon as good weather comes, and Textile feels confident of playing a better game than in November.

Fiske ' 09 [126] ® ' c cJO -u ts J 9 O 7 The Lowell Textile School THE Lowell Textile School is not a charity. It is not a trade school. It is a school for thorough instruction in the theory and practical art of textile and kindred industries. It is the only textile school in this country that embraces thorough instruction in the sciences which the textile industry draws upon, or should draw upon, exhaustively in connection with the practical application of the principles thereof to all the branches and processes of that industry, although there are some schools that take high rank in textile design and chemistry and dyeing, and all will probably, if properly supported, develop up to our model, for we have simply met the demand from the industry. Before an attempt was made to form an association for the establish- ment of this school, foreign technical and trade school systems were studied to ascertain, — First, Their financial value to the industries to which they are related. Second, What were the interests that would assure the requisite financial support. Abundant evidence of their practical value was furnished by our resi- dent officials abroad. These may be summed up in a quotation from a report of Hon. J. C. Monoghan, U. S. Consul at Chemnitz, Saxony (an eminent authority), published in Consular Reports of August, 1894, in which he quotes a leading industrial representative : — Let the state take away every dollar it gives, and the city too, — for both aid us, — and the manufacturers will make up the difference. It (the industrial school) is here to stay, to go on building up better and better its captains of industry. No men know its value so well as the present generation. And Mr. Monoghan adds : — I may say, that the contributions of the state and city are a mere bagatelle compared with the sums sent in by manufacturers. Then, too, [127] the latter make very practical contributions in the form of machines. These men (instructed students) once inside a mill and set over a machine, knowing as they do in detail the underlying principle of every movement of every machine, are able to correct errors, replace parts, and discover dis- crepancies the moment their eye rests on a ' diseased ' machine. There is no longer any groping, turning, twisting, screwing up, unscrewing, etc., as in the old times. The fixer knows his business, and finds out what is wanted before hammer, monkey wrench or tools touch a part. This testimony alone would seem sufficient to establish the value to the manufacturer of technical industrial education. The parties in interest from whom financial support could be expected appeared to be the commonwealth, the city, or other local community, the [129] pupil and the textile and textile machinery manufacturer, and presumably the same interest could be counted upon here. The commonwealth and the city and the textile machinery makers and color houses have liberally contributed to the support of this school, as have also the pupils. The tuition fees have been placed low, lower than educational institutions generally of equal magnitude, because it was to the interests of the state to attract to this industry a larger percentage of the bright youth from our schools who were turning in increasing numbers from the classics and professions to industrial life. That eventually sub- stantial support will come from the mills, as it has abroad, when the results of employment of our graduates appear on the favorable side of their balance sheets, I have no doubt, but it is hardly to be expected until then. Business is business. In the meantime, the eagerness with which our graduates are sought for by the mills, shops, the metropolitan selling houses, dyehouses, etc., is very gratifying. Few schools offer as rapid advancement to remunerative positions as the Lowell Textile School. In considering the sources of revenue, the fact that large contributions are constantly made by those who couple with the ability to make money, the higher art of intelligently spending it, was not overlooked. It is to the munificence of Frederick Fanning Ayer, Esq., of New York City, who earliest and most comprehensively grasped the importance and possibilities of the school as a higher educational institution, that it has been made possible for it in housing and in extensive site to so early reach the im- portance it has. To-day three great buildings or halls are ample to accommodate the seven hundred and eight pupils on our roster, while the grounds offer ample facilities for athletics and outdoor physical exercises. That the management is not wasting its energies in trying to make efficient industrial tools out of soft iron, is evident from the extraordinary record our boys are making on the diamond, the football field, and in the basket- ball cage.

[130] DRAMATICS XTILE SHOW FEBRUARY v j5 ' 28 th ' oAlxj-ll J 9 O 1 The Show THE Second Annual Tex Show, the event at Textile, was given on the evenings of February 27 and 28, 1907, at Colonial Hall, and was a pronounced success. The idea of two performances was new this year, and did not come up to the expectation of the management. It is thought, however, that with a little more adver- tising next vear, that two performances can be given to crowded houses. It opened with the Minstrel first part, with its catchy songs and choruses, assisted bv Mr. Francis E. Storer, baritone. Mr. Proctor as in- terlocutor, with the black-faced chorus in white negligee shirts, black ties, and trousers, the end men on one side in red and green suits, and on the other in blue and red, made a very pleasing picture. Everything was run off very smoothly, and the participants acted as if they had spent some time on the boards. Local hits abounded to keep the audience in good humor. While Al Weinz made a great hit with his Cousin of Mine, Si Haskell was not slow in his topical song, Persuasion, and readily repaid the sender of the bouquet of lemons with a verse. The Finale consisted of the choruses from the songs of the end men, closing with the Alma Mater and Textile cheer. The complete first part was as follows : — Overture ............. Selected L. T. S. ORCHESTRA Opening Chorus ............ Medley ENTIRE CHORUS End Song . . The Bee that Gets the Honey Doesn ' t Hang Around the Hive SARA, H. W. C. S. BALLARD End Song .......... Camp Meeting Time TONY REILLY [133] The New Gown EHRENFBIED PROCTOR HASKELL J 9 O 7 End Song Home Sweet Home Sounds Good to Me POPPY WHITE Baritone Solo Love Me and the World is Mine FRANCIS E. STORER End Song He ' s a Cousin of Mine AL WEINZ End Song Ive Got a White Man Running My Automobile DENNY KNOWLAND Topical Song ........... Persuasion SI HASKELL Grand Finale ............ Medley ENTIRE CHORUS During the intermission between the first and second parts the orchestra played an excellent composition, written for the show by Mr. G. H. Perkins, which captivated the audience. Natt Webster, The Talk of the Town, in his monologue as the first number of the second part, was a decided hit, and his work was worthy to be classed with that of good professionals. Mr. Webster ' s prom- inent feature was his clever and artistic impersonation of Mr. Frank Lalor ' s song success, It Must be Love in Coming Through the Rye. The Paganini Trio presented to the audience a high class musical sketch, and their short program was exceptionally well rendered. The Flunket Brothers, by Tack Weinz and Spike Ballard, would have made Ezra Kendall or Lew Dockstader blush with envy in the manner in which they kept the audience in laughter. The sketch was lively, bright, and breezy, seasoned with several rollicking local hits. Hunyadi, a unique burlesque on Houdini, the famous hand-cuff king and jail breaker, was indeed a surprise to the audience. His release from the hand-cuffs and chains, with his escape from a sealed box, for some time puzzled everybody. At the close of the act Mr. Ellis, who took the character of Hunyadi, aided by Mr. Dwight, exposed all tricks. Mr. Gay ' s (the six footer from Vermont) impersonation of Gladys, the little sister of Hunyadi, was a credible piece of acting and makeup. [135] The Textile Mandolin and Guitar Club rendered several numbers of latest music, and should be greatly complimented for their good work. An original farce, entitled The New Gown, closed the perform- ance. The piece was the work of Messrs. Haskell and Ehrenfried, and dealt with the old familiar subject — the newly wedded couple. The dia- logue contained many catchy lines and bright situations. Mr. Ehren- fried ' s work as Edith was well received, and his acting showed careful study. The intoxicated husband, a difficult character to produce, was capably handled by Braman Proctor, while the Man from Pollard ' s, the comedy character of the sketch, was taken by Mr. S. H. Haskell. The show was also a success financially, as a nice, tidy little sum was realized, and it is hoped that hereafter by the aid of a yearly show the expenses of the Athletic Association may be covered in good style.

Smith ' 00 [147] A cnLsts J S O 7 Seventh Annual Banquet of the Alumni Association of the Lowell Textile School THE seventh annual banquet of the Association was held Thursday evening, May 31, 1906, at the Waverly Hotel, Lowell, Mass. The Alumni Association has been organized for seven years, and has been steadily growing, until at present there is a strong and live organization. The first banquet of the Asso- ciation was held on the evening of Commencement Day, June, 1900, and was attended in force by the graduating class of that year. At the banquet held last year fifty plates were laid, and the event goes down as the best social affair in the history of the organization. Several of the alumni present came from distant parts of the country, and the precision with which many of them return each year indicates the interest taken in the work of the organization and in the welfare of their Alma Mater. The banquet hall was abundantly decorated with palms, the table being set in the form of a hollow square, the interior of which was banked with palms and ferns, giving a very pleasing effect. The music for the occasion was furnished by five pieces of Lowell ' s best orchestra, and was under the leadership of State Representative Hibbard, who entered into the spirit of the occasion, and helped to keep the merriment in full swing by his witty announcements of the selections to be sung. More than twenty of the popular songs were printed and placed at each plate, and the enthusiasm with which they were rendered was most decidedly a feature of the banquet. Solos were given by Messrs. Varnum and Hennigan, two [148] members of the graduating class, and were accorded a decided ovation. In addition to the popular songs rendered, school songs and yells were constantly given with a vim which can only be duplicated by students who have that day completed a successful course. Great praise is due the Class of ' 06 for the prompt manner in which they have affiliated themselves with the Association, and a very successful career is predicted for these bright and brainy young men, who work while there is work to be done, and who can play in an equally manly fashion. Mr. Royal P. White, Superintendent of the Stirling Mills, Lowell, Mass., in his capacity of President of the Association, acted as toastmaster, and is to be congratulated upon the manner in which he presided at the postprandial exercises. During his remarks he comprehensively reviewed the works of the Association and outlined its future work. President A. G. Cumnock, Treasurer of the Appleton Company, spoke upon the development of the school, and the great work which the school is carrying out. The youngest member of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Frederick A. Flather, Treasurer Boot Mills, gave good and seasonable advice to the graduates. Mr. James T. Smith, Resident Trustee and Clerk of the Corporation, spoke in his usual witty style. The serious portion of his speech was devoted to the development of the school, in which he has a deep personal interest, and to the election of graduate trustees, of which three are to be elected this year, making a total of four on the Board. Mr. Smith has been busy during the past couple of weeks with the laying out and planting of class trees — a work which the various classes deeply appreciate. Graduate Trustee H. A. Bodwell spoke strongly upon the work the graduates can do to aid the school in its upward and onward course. Speeches were then made by the various members of the Faculty, all speaking in their usual strong fashion. When Mr. Varnum, President of the Class, was introduced, the [149] orchestra rendered Moving Day, which was decidedly appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Varnum gave a very brilliant speech, and expressed the honor and pleasure felt by the class in being connected with the Alumni Association of the school. At the close of his speech he was cheered to the echo. At the close of the speeches a business meeting was called, and officers for the ensuing year were elected.

Beginning on October 13, the meetings have occurred at intervals of about five weeks. Many lively discussions on various subjects have helped to liven up the gatherings, and the later graduates have brought along their school songs and stories of recent date, to the true appreciation of the fellows who attended the school when such were unknown. It is to be regretted that changes in positions have caused the removal of some of the original members to distances too great to allow their attending the dinners. However, there are new faces appearing continu- ally, and more are expected to be with us from this year ' s Senior Class. It is proposed to have short practical talks on varied textile and mer- cantile subjects. These are to be given by men of prominence in their respective lines during the meetings of the coming year, and should ensure a great amount of interest. The officers for the present year are as follows : — F. A. Clapp J. H. Cuttle I. W. Barr President Vice President Secretary - Treasurer E. A. Lucy Directors H. A.

For the greatest share of honor, Singled out from other classes, Came they from the farmost quarters Of our great and glorious Union ; Came for study, came for pleasure, Came they mostly for the latter. If one finds his name here mentioned, With a knock attached thereunto, Let him take it with good humor, For ' twas writ in jocund vein. Stay and read this rude inscription, Read this song of Naughty-Seven. From the wild and distant Maine woods, From the foothills of Sabattus, Came a long, lank, lazy Indian Answering to the name of Bain. Hear ye how he prayed and fasted, Not to pass the course in Chemistry, But to make the Socer football, And win renown among the skaters. [156J Then came Bicknell, with the big feet, From the far off Christian Hill ; Through the dirty streets of Lowell Walketh he most every morn. Managed he the base and football, Sturdy bands of great renown. Studied he on leisure moments, When he ' d nothing else to do. From the seven hills of Fitchburg Cometh one with large capacity, Not for study in the class books, Not for toiling at machinery, But for that they call enjoyment Came this mirthsome, laughing Brownell. In the Mississippi Valley, Where the muddy river floweth, In amongst the cotton plantings, Dwelt the brainy little Coman. Came he forth into the city Of the spindles great in number, Came he forth to gather learning ; And we hope that he has got it. Now the man who always wagers Never less than five great cartwheels ; Know we not of one slight instance When he ever paid the money. Can you guess of whom we speak now ? ' Tis Butts Craig, who hails from Lawrence. [157] ' C cJ3MULs£s J £ O 1 Hark ye, now, and list to this one ; ' Tis of he who brags of Dartmouth. We would ask him in all candor Why in he didn ' t stay there. Alden Eames, we fain would mention, And we ' ll let it go at that. From the great Hub of the universe, In the last part of our first year, Came one meek as gentle lambkin To the great wigwam of learning. Ehrenfried was the name he gave us, But we later called him Jack. Rappeth he the noisy tom-toms, And make heap good Med ' cine Man. Now the great plug of the chem. lab. Who ' d believe they ' d call him Farmer? None but those that never knew him At the school upon the river. But with dreams and visions many Of the future there before him, Of the marks he ' d get from Olney, Great whole days and nights he ' d study. Came he small in size and stature, With Napoleonic bearings, — Came from town they label Worcester, Did this little runt called Haskell. He could say more in five minutes Than could any ten amongst us ; [158] c cx?-u J J S O 1 Yet for all we chose him chieftain In our last vear on the river. Of another tribe we speak now : Came a stranger like a squaw man, Straightway from the Institution, At which place he got the M. I. T. Speak we not of one called Hathorne, From the town of North Andover ? Hoyt, with accents loud and boisterous, Always blowing of his knowledge, Came from Highlands back in Lowell, Tried to make us think he ' s it. But the great chief of our wigwam Soon reduced his massive caput. In our tribe of daring warriors There was one from Housatonic. Heart had he, but left behind him With a maiden he thought much of. Let us not invade the secrets Of this lover bold called Kinne. Sad it would be should he leave us, With no one to take his place, And the reason for this give we : He is half the cotton class. Now from off the rockbound seacoast, In his war clothes prim and natty, Danny Knowland comes amongst us, For to mingle with the Coeds. [159] l ' a cJCf u ty J 9 O 7 In the chem. lab. was his wigwam, But he moved it to the art room, There to tell his deeds of valor To a maid with hair quite golden. Never late but always (Earl)y, From the wooley wilds of Shirley, Much to learn had this young brave Of the deeds of older warriors. Speak we here of one called Merriman ; Cupid was the name he went by. Down from out the mountains chilly, From the land of Bobby Burns, Talketh he like much heap Scotchman, Came this Robertson dubbed Scotty. He was old, but he was witty, Always kept us in good humor. Much chased the Socer football On the campus with the braves. Shea, the rarest of musicians, Played he for the braves to dance by, For the wampum hard and yellow ; This was his chief occupation. But a small side issue had he, And ' twas bluffing at Course IV. Storer came back last October. Settled down was he in habit ; Never went he with the warriors, [160] But he stayed at home and studied ; For he had but one ambition, And that was to get an H. Yet another from the chem. lab. Studied with determination. Worked he summers, worked he winters, That he might become a dyer, But he switched in his intentions To become a business manager. Charles H. Stott ' s the one we speak of, Who claims Lawrence as headquarters. Now a warrior and a hunter, Comes a brave from Windy City, Who took sweatmeats very often To the wigwams of the maidens. Stursberg was this heap brave ' s name. Absent-minded Paul we called him; Slept he late most every morn. Now comes lastly in this legend One with air so ministerial, But the ones who really know him Find him to be vastly different. On the ivories harmonious, For the war dance he makes music ; Also thinks that he ' s a writer, As he ' s editor of the Pickout. Only Eugene Woodcock answers To this clear, concise description. Thus ends here our Indian legend, Of the twenty some odd members In the Class of Naughty-Seven. [161] We are very glad to announce that our mutual friend Al Weinz has made a new discovery in the chemistry line. In as few words as possible this important find consists of a new cleaning solution, made up as follows : Five grams of logwood crystals and one thousand cubic centi- meters of water. Al says that the first trial did not turn out as ex- pected, but he thinks that with a sufficient length of time the dirt on the beaker would lose its adhesive nature and fall off, forming a sediment at the bottom which could be removed by mechanical means. If it had only been known last year it would have been possible to have a twenty foot firebox in the new boiler, and had Clapp do the stoking. A«V OEPT.

Look out, Stott ; if you get many more red marks in dye lab., your record will need a bleaching. It has been said that a bleaching powder solution is a very efficient medium in the dye baths. [162] V j9 O 7 Perk Er-er-er, stop that racket, boys ! How poor Perk does detest a noise. Don ' t you know it hurts him to the heart When he hears the joyous sound of Art ? One fine day he dismissed the class, — Sent the whole fresh bunch of us to grass, Just because the artist ' s merry glee Jarred his thin and tender tympani. Er-er-er, don ' t you hear him speak The first whole sentence he has said this week ? Talking must be dreadful tiring work, That he thus avoids it, poor old Perk ! Er-er-er, feel the building jar ! That is Perkins running for a car. See the ladies wait and stand aside When Perkins dashes for his ride. Once, I hear, a lady did not see Perkins come. She stepped aboard, and he, Jostling wildly, tumbled with a thud Right flat in some lovely Lowell mud. All good stories, I have oft ' been told, Bear a moral, meant for young and old ; But there ' s none to this one, I aver, Excepting only — er-er-er. [163] g i c cicru-s£s J 9 O 7 The Results of Artistic Training It has been noticed among our textile manufacturers that any con- ception of the beautiful, which is very essential to certain classes of fabrics, is lacking to a marked degree. Since the starting of textile institutions throughout our country, this part of the industry has been given special attention. The student not only learns the preliminary processes, such as sorting, carding and spinning, in which not the minutest detail is left unobserved by his gradually trained eye, but in connection with this practical work his eye is trained to appreciate the aesthetic qualities neces- sary to produce an elegant fabric. The amount of art which is necessary to equip one to be capable of combining the beautiful with the practical requires a careful training under the guidance of the foremost authorities which six hundred and fifty dollars per year is capable of obtaining. The course in detail consists of a few preliminary directions, which any ordinary Freshman is capable of executing, provided he has the necessary cash, — a box of cheap water-color paints, a brush (in case the dealer cannot supply it a shaving brush will answer the purpose), a small tin receptacle for holding water, and two pieces of any kind of paper. Now that the uncultured Freshman has obtained his art paraphernalia, he is prepared to receive his first lessons in applying color and the relation of spots in the composition of a study. The short time in which the -yT® student is capable of distinguishing the beautiful from the coarse is remarkable. Within three weeks after his first lesson he can determine whether the freckles on a coach dog are placed artistically or otherwise. After he has become efficient in the above-mentioned subject, his thoughts are carried back to the creation of art by the early Egyptians. Here are pictured the wonders and beauties of the palaces and tombs of the renowned Ptolemy. So refined and cultured does the temperament of the student become that he chooses only those brands of cigarettes which bear the names of celebrities of that period. Space will not allow us to [164] renumerate individually the various decades of art studied intervening between the previous mentioned and the time when fabrics reached their zenith of beautv during the Renaissance period. Can we conceive of anvthing more ennobling than the application of these magnificent creations to modern usage ? Yet it is so, for when a student arrives at this period of his study he has become a criterion on all art that enters into the fabric, particularly 7 those relative to wearing apparel. The popular styles have no charms for him ; the fickle minds of the uncul- tured tailors become a bore to him, and his artistic sense alone governs his taste in dress. As an example of those who have shown exceptional aptitude in this line of work, and who are recognized as authorities, and whose judgment is much sought after when careful and fastidious selections of wearing material are required, we take great pride in recommending Messrs. Lowell and Perkins. Our artist had the good fortune of obtaining a studv as posed for by Mr. Lowell in one of his latest importations from the Good-Goods, Well Wear, Don ' t-Ravel-at-the-Knees Co. One cannot help but notice the characteristic excellency of Mr. Lowell ' s good taste in selecting such exquisite patterns for his adornment. What made the phvsical chemistry class laugh when Mr. Reed ex- plained the action of sodium in carbonated water? Note. — (This is used to take away that after effect.) Don ' t you think we see a Lotta (lot of) Parker in the Art room ? Mr. Sleeper in Industrial quiz — How is the cryolite method for the production of chlorine carried out? Scotty — How do you start?

Jack Highland, the terror of the Wool class, gone but not forgotten. [167] Shorty Well, Walter is a marvelous boy ; Spilling precipitates is his great joy. He tosses ' em round and up in the air, And lets them land most anywhere. ' Twas only just the other day That Walter, in his careless way, A final weighing was about to make, And correct results must surely (f)take, And with a skill that did not come, He at once put things on the bum. While all were repeating their washings o ' er, Shorty dumps his precipitate on the floor. When we were asking what he did, The chemist on his prayer-handles slid, And with a feather and dexterous hand, Back into the crucible it safely did land. When asked how his results checked up, Walter said, O-o-o, I m-m-made them come out all r-r-right. Mr. Clark in a lecture to the class in Art says that by looking at a man ' s head you can tell his intellectuality. Why did the girls laugh? Eleventh commandment, Thou shalt not crib. Moral — Don ' t have any cribs in your exam papers. Herb Parker has discovered a new method of degreasing wool with caustic potash. Better get it patented immediately, Herb. [168] o c c o lc J S O 7 It has always been supposed that the men in the Wool Department understood mules pretty well, but when Mr. Arundale tried the other day to start that one from North Andover it refused to go. Suddenly when he wasn ' t looking there was a jump, and before he could grasp the reins more tightly it had broken loose and there was a smashup. She didn ' t get hurt did she, Harry? We have been wondering why Scotty is so interested in the reduction in price of denatured alcohol. Freshie — ' ' I forgot my design book. Will I bring it in sometime? Prof. ' ' Ump — Yes, bring it in sometime if not before. Si Haskell — Why do you pack that dynamo-bearing in oil? Sunny Jim — To reduce the friction. Si — Why do they pack sardines in oil ? Bart Reynolds, our expert on card clothing, has demonstrated beyond question that his skill in removing card clothing is perfectly mar- velous. Mighty lucky, Bart, that your ticket runs to North Andover, so that your skill can be supplemented by that of Davis and Furber.

Fairbanks Imp of Hades ..... Hueston Collingwood Place Apartments of the Lord High Monk in the Synagogue. Time About midnight. Scenario ( The members of the Synagogue are seated at a table engaged in a peaceful game of poker . ) Monk — Bv me ! Imp — Opened for two. Angel — (throwing down his hand, which contained four two spots, in disgust) I ' ll drop! What putrid luck! Nothing but four deuces. ( The remaining three draw cards.) Imp — Three is bet ! Bouncer — Raise you two ! Monk— Call it. Imp — (drawing a pair of kings from under his chair) Three kings! Bouncer — (sliding two aces from his sleeve) Three aces ! Monk — ' Tis foul play; I hold a pair of aces myself! ' (Rough house follows, in which the Bouncer and Imp are forcibly ejected from the room, but soon return with musical instruments, and the Syna- gogue orchestra, consisting of the following pieces, tune up.) Monk ..... Sweet potato Angel .... Trombone Bouncer .... Fife Imp ..... Harmonica [171] (The windows are then opened and the mellow (?) strains of the Synagogue Dead March are wafted across the intervening yard to Chadbourne Hall, where the King of the Cambonians, hearing it, gathers his men, who hurl endearing epithets and old shoes at the midnight serenaders. The concert over, the instruments are put away and all, with the exception of the Imp, who remains standing before the mirror to admire his beauty, sit down. ) Monk — Who has a cigarette? Bouncer — Here you are (passes a box of Sweet Caporal to the Monk, then quietly helps himself to a Philip Morris from another box). Angel — Well, good night. (Goes out, but soon reappears arrayed in a beautiful rainbow colored nightgown.) Anybody want a glass of water ? All— Yes! (Angel disappears again, re-entering with a glass of water, but stumbles over the dust on the threshold and falls, deluging with ice water the Bouncer, who was reclining on the lounge. ) Bouncer — (sputtering) Blankety-blank ! (Tackles the Angel, and they both fall over a chair into the wastebasket, which breaks, allowing an avalanche of cigar stubs, apple cores, and other debris to roll out over the floor. The Monk joins in and the Bouncer is bounced from the room. The Imp follows in the same manner, and the two compare bruises in the hall. By this time strong language is heard in the Monk ' s bedroom, and the Imp and Bouncer beat a hasty retreat into their respective rooms, locking the doors ; but none too soon, for the Monk and Angel come forth from their bedroom with blood in their eyes. After dancing up and down in the hallway for fifteen minutes, and receiving no answer to their most beguiling Let us in, please, they retire to their beds, and after cleaning out the tobacco from between the sheets and remov- ing several other articles, which we must not mention, they finally fall asleep to dream of new tortures with which they will wreak their vengeance upon the innocent Imp and Bouncer.) [172] z c Azjct lc £ J 9 O 7 A Freshman ' s Woe The lot of a Freshman is dreary, And the woes of a Freshman are long, For the Juniors seem never to weary Of singing the same old song, — O, you must do this, that, and the other, Or, You mustn ' t do this or do that. Why, a Freshman can raise lots of bother Bv a red and black band on his hat. For that ' s one of the things he ' s forbidden, And that ' s not the worst of his can ' ts, For he also soon finds that he ' s chidden If he turns up the hems of his pants. He can ' t go beyond the school limits, And if, while down town, he should meet A Junior or two (or a dozen) it ' s The rule that the Freshman must treat. He must take off his hat to a Junior, But the thought that some joy to him brings Is, that he to the Freshmen of next year Will be doing the very same things. We cannot see why it is that Bick always kicks about the trains being off time when he goes to Haverhill. You shouldn ' t stay so long with her, Bick, and then you would have ample time to get to the station. Jenckes — What is the formula for bay rum (barium) chloride, fellows ? Fellows — .

The wrens and the robins sat around To hear his sophistry profound, And nodding did agree. Oh wonderful indeed to see Was his loquacity s Until he pulled his handky out, And then there rose a mighty shout Of the wrens ' and robins ' glee. For with the handkerchief there came (And here he blushed for shame) A little mirror round and small. The wrens and robins saw it fall, And seized upon the same. A little mirror, of the kind That makes self-lovers blind; Upon its back advertisements, Upon its face sweet innocence, Its aspect most refined. He blushed, he stammered to explain, To use it he ' d disdain ; He only carried it about To help him get the cinders out When traveling on the train. O Woodcock in the high-Art-tree, Tell no such tale to me. The wrens perceived, the robins, too (Thev read it in the face of you), A truth so plain to see. Moral: When you ' re going to see the girls, fix your rolling golden curls, And primp before the mirror, if such be your desire; But hide the mirror deep where no prying gaze may peep, Or you ' ll be the butt of laughter, in embarrassment most dire.

I do not awaken, owing to the late hour of my retirement the night before. 8.00 A. M. He makes another attempt, but with no success, and he steals softly out to breakfast, leaving me to remain in the arms of Morpheus. 12.15 P. M. I awake. Great heavens! can it be as late as it really is? No doubt, but still this is not an unusual hour for me. I wonder what I have this morning ? Oh, yes, ' tis a cotton exam. Well, if I don ' t pass it, I have the satis- faction of not having plugged for it, anyhow ; however, there must be a letter for me from Great Barrington. 12.30 P. M. Great heavens ! no letter ! What can be the trouble ? Shall I await the next mail, or take the first train home ? Probably Charlie Stott has hidden it. A joke ' s a joke, but when carried too far it ceases to be a joke. 1.45 P. M. I glance casually out of the window, and the first thing that meets my gaze is the figure of the mail carrier bringing my letter for me. 2.00 P. M. Am endeavoring to square things with Steve Smith. I told him that the reason for my non-appearance at school this morning was that I was awaiting an important telegram from home, — a reason which he accepts. Prof. Smith is all right. 4.30 P. M. Have just finished working hard all the afternoon watching Coman put through a lot of Sea Island cotton. 5.00 P. M. Take a little trip down town with my roommate. 11.30 P. M.

The average age of the class is twenty-two years five months and six days. The oldest member is thirty, and the youngest nineteen years nine months and twenty-five days. What is your weight f The average weight is not very large, being one hundred forty-six pounds eight and three-quar- ters ounces. Our half back is the heaviest, with his one hundred eighty-five pounds of avoirdu- pois, and the lightest is one hundred twenty-eight pounds net. What size shoe do you wear f Bick says that he wears fours, but we know that they are nearer elevens. Several wear fives as the smallest. The average is six and three quarters. What size collar do you wear f We were not speaking of dog collars, for we didn ' t expect to find any dogs in the class. The average size is fourteen and three- quarters, with sixteen the largest and fourteen the smallest. What is your favorite exercise f In answer to this question, sleeping and walking hold first place, with eating a close second, and football, writing letters, canoeing, and horseback riding bringing up in the rear. Do you live at home during the term ? To this question two thirds of the class answer no, one some- times ' and the remainder ves. [186] Hoxv many hours per day do you study ? The answers to this question are so varied that it would require too much space to renumerate them, and it is impossible to take their average. Thev range from plus or minus twentv-four to one bil- lionth of a second, with several averaging two hours, and one man studies none. Do you know more about running the school than the Faculty f Many opinions were expressed during the year which led us to be- lieve that the great majority w r ould answer this question in the affirmative ; but after looking over each ballot carefully we found that but half the class came up to our expectation, with four sometimes and the rest no. Are you glad you came to Textile f All but one man answered yes, and we sincerely hope that he will soon be able to join the majority. IVhat course do you consider the hardest f The Chemistry and Dveing course leads in this list of answers, with Art a close second, and Wool, Cotton, and Electricity with Marsh. JVho is your favorite member of the Faculty ? Professor Olnev wins by a large majoritv, with Mr. Stewart second, and Messrs. Perkins and Smith mentioned. Favorite instructor f Mr. Blume leads Mr. Spencer by one vote, with Messrs. Cromp- ton, Willev, and Reed mentioned. What is your complexion ? The majoritv are medium, with more light than dark, which makes an average of a light medium. [18 7] Who is the best-looking man in the class f In this most exciting contest we are greatly pleased to announce Mr. Paul W. Stursberg as the winner, with Earl Cushing Merri- man walking at his heels. The remainder were scattering. Mr. Stursberg will be pleased to meet all who voted for him at the Waverly to-night. Homliest man ? This was entirely a one-sided affair, with Hoyt claiming the large majority, and two ties of one vote each for second place. Brightest man ? One quarter of the class voted for Farmer, with as many for Wood- cock, with Coman the next in line. Sportiest ? Our Great Paul can claim this honor, as he received over half the ballots. Kinne got what was left. Wittiest f That Little Runt Haskell took almost three quarters of the votes, with Scotty second. One man had the audacity to say that there were no wits. Biggest bluffer? Denny Knowland seems to be the choice for this question, and as the remaining three were scattered we fail to see why it can ' t be made unanimous. The man most likely to succeed in life f This goes to Shea, with Coman and Woodcock tied for second place. Ehrenfried and Cupid are tied for third, and Know- land and Stott for fourth. [188] ' Biggest fusser ? Again our Great Paul takes the lead, with Knowland second, and Farmer third. Mr. Stursberg again wishes us to announce that he would like to meet tho e who voted for him in the subway, where a ring has been roped off. One at a time, please. JVhat is your political party f In answer to this question we find that we have one of the greatest conglomerations of anv municipality in existence. The Repub- licans claim one quarter of the class, with the Democrats two shy, and prohibitionists, socialists, mugwumps, G. O. P.s, Episcopa- lians, independents, and anarchists hanging on behind.

How is it with you, Mr. Mill Man — are your competitors running you off the market ? Do you find that they can offer a better quality of wool or cloth with brighter and faster colors for the same price that you ask, or that they are furnishing the same quality as you, but at a lower price than you can afford to make ? Why do you give them this advantage over you ? If you are not using (J =D Wyandotte Textile Soda o o a trial of it will quickly convince you of its unusual properties. It has none of the harsh and severe nature of the pure and stronger alkalies. Where it is used the wool fiber retains all its strength, its elasticity, its snow- white color and soft feel. The yarns and cloths take the dye evenly and the colors stand out bright and clear. These are but a few of the desirable results which its use makes possible. If you are using this material are you getting from it all the good possible ? Order from your supply house or write us for further information.
