To Alexander Goodlet Cumnock A Loyal Friend and Benefactor of the Lowell Textile School this Volume is Dedicated The 1908 Pickout extends to the students and many friends of the Textile School its heartiest greet- ings. Needless to say, the labors of the editors in preparing this volume have been earnest and con- scientious, and we take pride in presenting it to you, with its errors for our successors to avoid, with its virtues as a model for future work. We feel that the Pickout has reached its limiting size, at least for the present, and so have bent our efforts towards improving the quality of the material, rather than increasing the quantity. It is no exaggeration if we state that it will not be many years before our annual will be in a class with the Technique, which is in our opinion the leading college publication . We trust that you will not take the grinds and jokes too seriously, as our aim has been merely to amuse, — with no intention of injuring your feelings. With best wishes to future endeavors, we now place the work in your hands, — to censure or to praise, as you please. Acknowledgments .... Alphabetical Register of Students Athletics L. T. S. A. A.

These will furnish material for the following history. With great anxiety, these consignments, coming as they did from different parts of the universe were opened and in- spected. Consequently a few of us took a vigorous walk to the square and there performed a few stunts to the approval of the Sophomores, thus furnishing a very pleasant (?) enter- tainment for our first night in Lowell. For perhaps a week this performance was repeated each evening until we realized that the upper classmen were our superiors and that we must respect them. Then came the call for football candidates and proud are we to say that six of our men won their letters and furnished a captain for the second year. Things went on smoothly for a while, our whole minds being devoted to copying design lectures, figuring problems in mechanism, and plugging chemistry. We hardly dared think of much else. One day a notice appeared on the bulletin to the effect that a class meeting was to be held and every freshie to a man appeared. On the first ballot Herbert L. Parker was elected to guide us through our first year, and Dwight, who had proven such a football star was to represent us in the Athletic Council. Thus things went on very quietly with nothing much happening but an occasional trip to the Rollaway where a few became expert skaters. This took up the time for many until midyears appeared and then we were in- troduced to semi-annual exams. [30] PICKOUT 1908 Picking Having- once been sorted and tagged the most desirable of the lot were started on their way. Some, who did not care for cloth analysis or the noise of the machines, were dyed in the raw stock, others were picked by Mr. Smith; Mr. Barker introduced others to the mule, the actual promoter of kicking on the part of this school; there were a few designers but they were lost in the wool class; and finally, the illustrious engineers were taken under Mr. Perkins ' wing. At this point, it might be well to recall a few of the ex- traordinary difficulties which were met with by those who were putting us through. These may be traced to some of the following causes: — the Rollaway was too popular, especially on Friday afternoons. The mule and Harry Arundale had a disagreement which resulted in the temporary absence of Harry. This gave Dodo Ellis a chance to forget what little he had learned. Jim Lowell got the idea that if school in- terfered with pleasure, school was to be cut. Briggs from Dracut spent his school time in trying to arrange musical numbers for church socials. Foster could not forget his family affairs. Dick Barlow and Baker couldn ' t sacrifice their evenings for study. O ' Sullivan and Tom Reilly could not be dealt with seriously as they were too ridiculously comical in their fuzzy tops. Joe Stowell didn ' t attend school often enough to get his sub-poena for his appearance at faculty meetings. Strauss took more interest in the Country Club than in the Textile School. Squires and Dince Parker spent too much time with Fuzzy in the Art Room. Prince hadn ' t discovered that the road to prosperity and good times lay through Jamey Sargent. Dick Abbott wouldn ' t talk, Stubby Winslow couldn ' t talk, and Bemis was too busy on the stage. One funny little bale of stock which went astray, finally reached us at this time. By mistake, this bale, marked Weinz, had been sent to M. I. T., but was, of course, rejected by them and finally delivered properly. During this period, the various athletic teams were strength- [31] PICK OUT 1908 ened materially by our contributions, ' there being - three captains and two managers from our class. The end of the term found the lot in fair condition and ready for the next operation. QIar tng When we arrived at the card a few had fallen behind, but how pleased everyone seemed to get back and enter into the second year work. Many warm greetings were exchanged. How much wiser each appeared and one would hardly have suspected that this was the same class which had just the fall before, been classed as raw stock . We were bundled together and thrown into the feed to pass through the next process of development. The annual elections came around again and Leonard S. Fan- front Holyoke was chosen as our president, with Frank Dwight again representative in the Council. Football now took the best part of our time and again the men of ' 08 proved their ability with the pigskin, with Dwight as captain of the team. The basket-ball team under Captain Farr started out to equal previous records. The end of the term found us confronting mid-year ex- aminations which proved the downfall of some of our members. Spinning Having had the burrs and bunches removed, we were placed upon jack spools and once more we came to that stumbling; stone, the mule. Most of us spun well, our in- structors trying their best to draw us out, succeeding better however, in twisting us. We learned several things during this term, some of us profiting thereby and others using their increased knowledge to scheme methods by which they could cancel cuts and evade regulations. Our wool sorting was compared by Mr. Barker to his golf playing — all form and no results. The dye lab was the scene of many a wash bottle fight, the C 9 C being continually at war with the K I, thereby causing great discomfort to our [32] PICK OUT 1908 hard working- dyers. We discovered that, by keeping- close watch, we could smoke during the boiler test. Huising had full control of the cotton room; Dodo car- ried his little pail around in the wool room; and the engineers found great pleasure in explaining indicator cards. The show was well represented by our class, Weinz es- pecially doing- his best to bring- before the public whatever names might have been overlooked. Three of our number tried to outdo the others. Jim Lowell, Mason, and Heinie Farr swelling up with the dis- tinction of having that infantile affliction called mumps. Some ends were drawn to the baseball diamond. Two of our men made records for themselves there, for Gay and Fan- each were known to play one game without an error — simply because they didn ' t have a single chance. One of the players, a member of our class, was talking to some young ladies near the fence and let in two runs because he was too preoccupied to follow the game. Dick Abbott by mistake left his wool notebook on the feed apron of the carbonizing- duster, when some men from Sargent ' s who were repairing it, started the machine. All of Dick ' s carefully compiled notes were torn into pieces and blown out onto the floor in a manner similar to a snowstorm. By the end of the term we had been evened up in good shape, so that we were ready for the concentration and inter- weaving of theories which were to come next, the first real step toward a practical application of our many preliminary processes. Meaning Again we stood at the threshhold of our Alma Mater ready to be woven into fabrics which we hope may, at some later day prove worthy of the labor which has been expended upon us. A few that were not thoroughly spun came back a little early and spent several very pleasant evenings with their books preparing for re-exams. With these out of the way we settled down to work. With great pleasure we watched the Sophs administer to the freshmen the hazing- which had been meted out to them so [33] PIOKOUT 1 9 O 8 plentifully the fall before. Revenge seemed sweet to them. To guide our footsteps this year Wing-ate was chosen president with Farr in the Athletic Council. Dwight at this time met with difficulties in dealing- with electricity. Perkins learned that it was necessary to do his mule thesis. Mailey and Weeks were added to the instructor ' s staff. Gradually we approached the end of the warp and finally the heading was put in. iflmtslftttg The method for finishing our illustrious class is a great problem to the boss finisher, and his assistants. Of all the finishing operations, napping seems to be our favorite, as Mr. Stewart will doubtless testify. We are now being wet out for we are being soaked well in every department at present. We know not what lies ahead of us, but we shall not be kept in the dark much longer. We are about to end our career at Textile. Many of the original class are listed under the missed picks, but a few have kept their courage and will be rewarded when the diplomas are given out. Now that we may look back over the years of our school life how well we see our mistakes. How many things which we should have done we have left undone. How differently we should have conducted ourselves. And yet, we know that if we now see our mistakes we can profit by them. Experience is the best teacher, but let us try to anticipate her moves. The next few years will be the important ones of our lives, for in them our ability will be put to the test and the outcome will determine our futures. We are about to plunge into the depths of uncertainty. The pool of experience is large and deep, but if we struggle on, always keeping our heads above the surface, we shall eventually be rewarded, ultimately reach- ing the goal at which we aim. When the great commission house, the business world, re- ceives us, may we be known as the goods, our special lot number being 1908.

Silent Dick wanders in from Ando- ver every morning ' , and although a model of propriety while in Lowell it is reported that when at home he is right there with the goods when there are any girls in the case. He got lost for the first time on leaving his native town and found himself in the wool room. Dick is a good student and was so ambitious to get a better mark than usual that he passed his note book through the duster and then with a muffled smile picked up the pieces to the tune of Every Little Bit. etc. He is very popular with the fellows and has made quite a name for himself by his good work for three years on the football team.

Spike is a good football player and never was hurt in his life, but never- theless he is a regular attendant at the hospital. He is happy when he is singing, therefore it is obvious that he very seldom has an attack of melan- cholia. He sings especially well when Squeak is around to hear his melodi- ous voice. He is a great fisherman and sees no reason why it would not be possible to catch cod in the Merri- mack River. John Francis Dwight, Jr. o n Zip Spatterface Football, 1, 2, 3.

When it comes to fussing there are few fellows who dare to enter into com- petition with Dwight, as he is a mas- ter of the art and knows the ropes from A to Z. He is rather clever with the ivor} ' balls and manages to put the cue ball in the side pocket at least every other shot. Spatterface hopes to get a job with a firm that runs a football team, as he is a hard worker on the gridiron and doesn ' t mind rolling in the mud a bit.

As this is leap year he has found it necessary to employ a private secre- tary to answer the scores of proposals which he receives daily. We fear that Heinie is more fickle than the pro- verbial woman, and can hardly im- agine him playing the role of the hen- pecked husband. Olin Dow Gay O IT Spot Basketball, 1, 2, 3.

Olin Gay, who gave up chasing the cows in Cavendish, Vermont, has managed to live in Lowell for three years and is now one of the Apaches at 118 Mt. Washington. Spot is the ber- ries when it comes to tripping the light fantastic, and can perform espec- ially well in the barn dance. His hair turned white from working so hard(?) on the Board . They say when he thinks it goes to his head. Probably Lowell will be favored with a glimpse of his beaming countenance several times this summer, as it is rumored that he has a pressing engagement here which he hates to give up. Geronimo Huerva Huising Geronimo Huising, the boss of the cotton department stands in pretty well for the cotton medal, as he has no opposition at all. One glance at his smiling face is a sure cure for anything from the blues to the rabies. He is especially fond of extra large sized fountain pens. He expects to return to the Philippines and start a few cot- ton mules kicking when he finishes his course here. [36] PICKOUT 1908 Leland Aldrich Jenckes $ Y Jenckes, one of the wise men of the class, entertains hopes of putting a bill through the Senate to abolish haz- ing- in the schools and colleg-es. Al- though he has never shone on any of the athletic teams he is a wonderf?) at tennis, and we may expect to hear that he has entered the championships at Long-wood before many years. He is the man who discovered ink, and he is now trying to fig-ure out why it is impossible to see around a corner. LeRoy Clark Lewis Class Secretary-Treasurer, 3. Alembic. Sweetness Lewis, who has won the championship belt for being- the only chronic kicker in the Lowell Textile School, has decided not to follow up the mill business, but is going- to start an engravers shop, and is now ready to take orders for cuts. He should do a rushing business as he is able to turn them out for the low price of $1.00 each James Everett Lowell A K $ Jim Sunny Jim has his name on the register of the school but is not seen very much in classes, as he finds it necessary to spend most of his time out driving, for his health. He is the only true fashion plate of which we can boast, and the different seasons of the year are heralded by his clothes. To see Jim in a pair of overalls, clawing around down in the greasy wool room, his hands all dirt and grime and his carefully brushed hair all mussed up, you would never believe that it was the same fellow whom you saw strut- ting along the street an hour ago with the bland smile and a big five cent stogie stuck in his face. Howard Twisden Mailey Assistant in Mechanical Depart- ment. Mailey is the long legged chap who drifted up from the busy city of Lynn to take the rest cure at the Textile School. He is very amiable and it surely is a difficult task to ruffle his cow-like nature. Early in the fall he g-ot the idea that the game of basket- ball was a good parlor sport, and he started in on the Wool team to learn the game so that he would be able to astonish the natives when he returned home. He is quite the whole thing down below, and he is so attached to the town that he had his folks name him for the street on which he resides. [37] PICKOTJT 1908 Archibald Lee Mason This creature with the gentle face and the sugar coated talk pleads guilty of taking the engineering course and may be found most of the time down in the boiler room wondering why steam is hot when a jet of it strikes his hand. Archibald is even quieter than Dick , and when we go near him we unconsciously hold our breath so as not to wake him up. J. Dean Perkins A K £ ' Perk Football, 2, 3. Little Umps We know that Josh would not like it if we told his history ourselves, so we will let him talk for himself. Was I green when I first struck Lowell? Well, I should say so. Oh yes, I study a large part of my time, and the rest I spend in the Y. M. C. A. No, the girls don ' t interest me at all; never picked one up in my life, I guess not. Sure, I admit I do dress a little sporty but then you see I am built so nicely that I have to wear something a little out of the ordinary to show my figure off. Say, you haven ' t any B. L. with you, have you? Thanks. Well, s ' long. Sylvantjs Cushing Prince Sylvanus is an awfully pretty, sil- very, rippling sort of a name for this piece of humanity which you see on the left, and it is a safe bet that it tickles him most to death every time he pro- nounces ' it. Prince is a frequenter of the Friday night fights and is right in his element when spieling with some beautiful maiden whom he never saw before in his life. [38] PICKOUT 1908 Braman Proctor o n Proc Class Secretarv, 1. Tex Show, 1. Interlocutor Tex Show, 2. Football, 1, 3. Ass ' t Mgr. Football Team, 2. Ass ' t Mgr. Baseball Team, 2. Manager Baseball Team, 3. Pickout Board, 2. Proctor, the Prince of Pork Chops, after almost getting the hook at Dean Academy, decided to try a chance at Textile, and has been working for three years now. (He is particularly fond of working the instructors.) He has been taking private lessons in French down in Little Canada, and is quite proficient at it. He surely has had practice enough. He is an excel- lent (?) mandolin plaster and is always willing to warble a ballad on the in- strument whenever he can find a vic- tim within earshot. Fred Bartlett $ Y Reynolds Freddie Reynolds is still on the trail of the thief who swiped his wool note book, and although he probabty will nev er discover the culprit, we doubt if he ever full} ' recovers from the great loss of so valuable (?) a book. He is one of the few hard working men of the class and never wastes a mo- ment of his precious time while at the school. The management offers a free copy of the ' •Pickout to the indi- vidual who is willing to swear that he ever saw Reynolds without a book un- der his arm. Ernest Warren Robinson Roby Chairman Pin Committee. Pickout Board, 2. Secretary-Treasurer Alembic. Assistant in Chemical Depart- ment. Notice the anxious expression on poor Robinson ' s face. It is not strange that he should look so, however, as he shoulders the responsibility of caring for all of the Alembic Society ' s gold, which it is safe to saj ' goes into the millions. As a chemist he has won great renown, as he is able to tell the difference between sugar and salt, merely by tasting them [39] PICKOUT 1908 James Minter Sargent Jimmie The whole world awaits with wonder the publication of Mr. Sargent ' s thesis on ' How to make an Automobile run when it doesn ' t want to. and it will in all probability be a great help to the scientists of the country. From the appearance of Jimmie ' s picture one would get the impression that he is a model youth, but don ' t be deceived for when he gets off at night with a girl on each arm he can show a few of the wise ones how to conduct them- selves, with a few pointers that they never dreamed of. Lauris Atlee Weeks A K £ Football, 2. Assistant in Design Department. Lauris Atlee Weeks. What ' s in a name? An onion with another name would smell as sweet. And yet the boy with this tag holds down the po- sition of 9th assistant manager of the Design Office, to the terror of all those whose examination papers come under his supervision. Judging from results Lauris cannot count above sixty, as that is about the highest mark that ever appears on the papers which he corrects. He will probably have to be introduced to all his friends next year as his red sweater is wearing out and he says that he is coming out in a blue one in September. William Elliot Weinz o n Al Baseball, 1, 2, 3. Captain Baseball Team, 3. End Man Tex Show, 2. President Alembic. Al started his career at M. I. T. but as that institution was situated too near his paternal hencoop, he pack- ed up and took the first train for Low- ell, where he could smile at the girls undisturbed by either uncles, cousins, sisters or aunts. He made a great hit at the Show last year, and surprised his friends by the exhibition of clog dancing which he gave between ver- ses. He is a good baseball player, and enjoys playing 1st base, as it is near the bleachers, thus giving him a chance to talk to the girls when there is nothing doing on the diamond. His favorite amusement is running a graph- ophone, and he has been known to walk way down town in a howling storm, just to buy a record. Needless to say, he knows the young lady who sells them, very well. [40] PICKOUT 1908 William Henry Win gate $ Y Hen Textile Orchestra, 1, 2. Class President, 3. Vice President Alembic. Henry, the King- of the Telephone at eighty-one has worn out more than a dozen transmitters talking- to girls this winter. He now has about thirty seven fair damsels on the string, and each one understands that she is the future Mrs. Wipgate. When the day of reckoning- comes around, we imagine that his lovely crop of hair will have only a few lonely spears left to tell the tale. His life is insured but that will not help him any; about the only way out of it will be for him to collect his various conquests and hire a hall out in Utah somewhere. Walter Clark Winslow Stubby Stubby Winslow is an awfully cute little boy for his age, and for three years has risen at five o ' clock, milked the cows, cooked himself an egg or two and taken the express (?) from the city of A3 r er to Lowell, never once being late, with the exception of the morning when the old brindle cow kicked the pail over, thereby delaying him fifteen minutes while he ran down to the town pump and made up the deficiency with good pure water. He was also discovered on the train with a girl one night, and on that occasion was pre- sented with several large lemons. Remember it?

Representative to Athletic Council [46] PICKOUT 1908 A (Eljnmtrl? nf % (Elassis nf Wxmtnn We had all looked forward to the re-opening- of school, and even torrents of rain could not dampen our enthusiasm. Supper at the various houses broug-ht forth many tales of good times enjoyed during the vacation, and also numerous suggestions con- cerning the welfare of the incoming freshmen. Some of these were very original, as the poor unsophisticated freshies can testify. Collingwood and Stone ably superintended the duty of taking the poor children to our bosom; Mullen taking upon himself the task of feeding to them that pure, refined leaf product of J. P. Squires, commercially known as lard. But after laying- down certain rules and regulations for the benefit of the new- comers, we gradually fell into the routine of everyday school life. Many of the old faces were missing ; Clapp, whose childish questions and cackling laugh were always in evidence, left us in order to show the textile world how things should be done. Tom Murray left Textile for the hotel business, but his heart still remains in Lowell. We miss Freddie Poore and his bril- liant recitations, and Burnie White is out on the Pacific slope [47] PICK OUT 1908 trying - to convince people that he knows something - . Reilly, after much deliberation, decided to go into the mill business in Taunton. Ormiston left many aching hearts in his wake ; how the mill girls do miss him. The class did its share when the call for football candidates was issued, and Prescott, Potter, and Parkis were rewarded with their Ts while Nipper Smith deserves great credit for the way in which he performed his duties as assistant manager, work- ing like a Trojan. Although our Beau Brummel, in disguise as Roy Williams, brought the pompadour into the public eye last year, the craze did not strike the school until late this fall, when such daring spirits as Ferguson, Collingwood, and Kay adopted this fetching style of wearing the hair. About this time department basketball came into the lime- light. As usual, our class shone, the C 9 C team, composed wholly of ' 09 men landing second place in the league. Star Fiske played an excellent game at forward. Bill Fairbanks also deserves men- tion in connection with the Little Umps, as he covered up the back field in great shape. He says that his nightly course in astronomy was a great help to him, as it taught him to be very accurate in judging distances and angles (in more ways than one). Collingwood s personally conducted tour to Collinsville, in which Williams, Mullen, and Stone shared the honors will always be pleasantly (?) remembered by them. But Mullen retaliated by inviting them to a dancing party at which expensive favors were distributed. Who got stung? Parkis with his handsome face, Marcel wave, and winning ways was the prominent figure at all social functions, and caused more than one broken heart during - the winter, especially at the fights. But the Cherub with his angelic smile, baby blue eyes and beaming countenance ran him a dead heat in the num- ber of feminine conquests. [48] PICKOUT 1908 At the telephone Sanborn and Brainerd were in their element, and many a pleasant hour have they spent chatting - over the phone with some unknown beauty of the opposite sex, to the great dis- gust of others who want to use the same line. Bunce ' s regular nightly visits to Pawtucketville did not in the least interfere with his good work on the basketball team, nor with his famous appetite. Pass the beans, please! Duggie Newall, the left handed wonder from Lawrence, transferred his affections from Gloucester to his home town. Possibly on account of the financial crisis he was pinched for carfare. As a master of English, Etiquette, and Dress, Holden shone. His fine distinctions between subject and object called forth admiration from everybody, and were always taken into consideration. (But that is all.) However, Chick does really know what kind of shirt studs to wear with full dress. It took Carl Potter all last year to come into his own, but at the beginning of the first term he struck his gate and now you ' d never know that he came from Missouri. Gee, that ' s going- some. Those fights and midnight suppers certainly did keep Bill Boyd hustling every morning-. But Bill is still our pride as the handsomest man in the school. Almonte Fairbanks (the other half of the Goldust Twins and second cousin to Vice-President Fairbanks ' aunt on his sister ' s side) has had more accidents with his machines and cussed less than any other fellow in the class. We point him out with pride to the freshmen. Old Scissors Conant, the little rascal from Littleton, astonished everyone when he gave Prof. Wood cause to tell him that the space he occupied would be preferable to his company. How the Industrial History class did miss him, and when he again [49] PICKOUT 1908 returned to our midst, we nearly died from joy. O ' Sullivan went into such ecstacies of rapture over Conant ' s reappearance that he could not refrain from soaking - him on the coco with a bobbin. Bill Burns had it out with Arne Gyzander for the title of champion tobacco chewer of the class; but Bill, by shooting- into a dye bath four times out of five at twenty paces, finally took the honors. Well, look here, Twink, now you know that this can ' t be so, etc., etc. This prelude to an evening ' s raving would always be broken in upon by a remark from Twinkle Prescott in the form of Rigid. Relax. Then Jimmie, looking disgusted, would shut up. (For a while.) Cranky Callahan, the quantitative expert, was the butt of all the water bottles in the lab for some time, but proved his mettle in that memorable Thursday afternoon battle in which Brainerd so nearly lost his life by drowning. Our last great event of importance was the 100 yard dash between Maud MacPherson and Newall. To the accompani- ment of the cheers of nearly the whole school and before the admiring - eyes of Instructors Reed, Hook and Cushman, they dashed madly down the cinder path towards the goal line. Neck and neck down the home stretch they raced, each straining every muscle to gain a yard on the other. But at this moment an unfortunate accident robbed poor Maud of the wreath of vic- tory. When within five yards of the tape, he stepped into a small puddle of water, drenching everybody on the side lines. In this manner he washed about three pounds of dirt off from his right foot, thus making that foot considerably lighter than the other, and so causing him to lose his stride and the race. However, he is still firm in the conviction that he can beat Newall, and has issued a challeng-e offering to meet him again when he is more evenly balanced. [50] PICKOIJT 1908 Paton, the hot air merchant from Newtonville, and also the president of the Little Umps, left school just before mid-years, and judging - from the latest reports he is undecided whether he will take another trip abroad in a cattle boat or go to Australia and start a pigeon ranch. Rumor had it for a while that he was actually working in a mill, but evidently Dame Rumor was not as well acquainted with him as we are. It will not be long now before we will be packing up our things and leaving Lowell for the summer. Probably many will not return to finish their course, but they will not be forgotten by their fellow students, and we know that they, in turn, will not forget the pleasant days spent in the Textile School, or their many friend in the Class of 1909.

Boom ! ! Bang- ! ! Zip-s-s-splash ! ! The caravan squatted- — and baggage, — and it wasn ' t such a bad looking bunch of freshies at that. Of course we, the Class of 1910, were greeted with the open outstretched arms of our brethren of the loftier classes. However, this cordiality failed to conceal their sly winks and smiles as they anticipated the snares and capers to which we would subsequently be subjected, but time proved that they had to buck up against a bunch of rubes far more husky than the proverbial freshman snap. In the natural routine of affairs we were inevitably put through the mill, and although forced to act as fools on numerous occasions, it was very evident we were not acting naturally. But it would have sent you into convulsions to see some of the poor lobsters canoeing down street, and when the craft upset, swim across to the curb ; and equally ludicrous did it appear when one of them was presented with a queer sort of a receptacle filled with peanuts to pass around to the patrons of one of our emporiums of 5 and 10 cent merchandise. Many were stunts of like nature, but we plodded through them creditably, and here we are today hale and hearty and unmarried. After the bonds of suppression were severed and we were allowed to do somewhat as we pleased, we managed to organize in September, 1907. Six feet two Leek was elected Ponti- [59] PICKOUT 1908 fex Maximus, and Kinky Hall as Vice P. M. Then Ancient Reed was vested with the responsibility of handling the archives; although a more or less misfit trio they have ac- quitted themselves with credit. Owing - to the scarcity of time usually attendant upon a tech- nical school life, little opportunity has presented itself for social functions by which the class could be characterized ; but it has manifested its merit in the scholastic lines, as shown by the conscientious endeavors and successful results in the various departments. String Jelleme is strongly in line for the Cotton Manufac- turers ' Medal, and is gfoing to have a cinch unless Deak Howe decides to brace up and do some dig-ging. Jelly seems parti- cularly well fitted for the contest, since he ' s all warp and no filling, but the latter deficiency need not worry him as he can rely on his friend Cherub for the necessary filling. (How ' s that for putting some of Ump ' s cloth logic to practical application?) From an educational standpoint in general, Blakie is our shin- ing- star. He ' s all there without a doubt and will probably stick there for a time. To the rescue, Stebbins. Haverhill lost quite a factor when Watson blew in up here. Bill is game to the core for anything that doesn ' t include grinding-. He is an ardent advocate of knickerbocker trousers worn to the tune of petite hose of a Fahrenheit degree. Bewhiskered Donovan is to be envied in ' and looms. When- ever he encounters a difficulty in arranging his pattern on the loom he harnesses up about 1008 of his hardy bristles of two weeks ' growth, sets his shuttles going-, and turns out as good a specimen of hair cloth ragtime as Mother McKay could expect. Sad was the blow to Q, Peter Ariente, and Phosphorescent Bragg when it was announced that the Boston Theatre would be abandoned. In that gorgeous emporium of theatrical roughhouse, [60] PICK OUT 1908 these gentlemen have ever been wont to divert their weary minds from strenuous studies, and now to think that they will be de- prived of their haven, — oh, curses and green peas. Talkative Robson also will miss The Boston. He could always be heard there above the din of the Upper rabble, voic- ing- his praise and appreciation of the clever, sprightly sketches rendered by the beautiful (?) maids in The Merry Spouses of Windsor. That boy Robson is a little terror, yet withal, so ladylike. Oh splash. It would be unfair not to devote a word or two to Husky Fog Horn ' Putnam. Many a sea stranded mortal has been saved from the shoals by Puttie ' s gutteral warnings and nasal admonition. The next piece of significance that deserves recog- nition is George Cogwheel Welch. The gentleman from Harvard struck Textile with a delightful repertoire of spicy ditties and ballads, and he has been rehearsing ever since ; granted, the songs are not exactly the kind McKay would like,— but there are some shady corkers just the same. Just ask Welch if he would fain unfold to you the ode to The blank, blank crustacean, sitting on a stone. It is a remarkable assembly of similes and hyper- boles, which Welch marshals to a marked degree of excellence. The only international episode we have figured in this year was the fistic encounter between Japan and Greece one day dur- ing the early part of the year. The champions of the respective nations were H. Kono and Zenophon Anagnos. Kono used the Jiu-Jitsu, and Anagnos the catch-as-catch-can. It was a glorious affray ; the hoard of spectators were hushed in admiration at the preliminary warming up. Then came the onslaught — chaos was let loose and blood flowed like water in the gutters. It had the French Revolution trimmed a mile. It was all over in a very short time, and now the combatants are gradually becoming reconciled. Kono has even deigned to walk on the same side of the street with Anagnos. [61] PICK OUT 1908 LeRoy Chadsey C. Whipple, one of the best fellows in the class made his exit about this time. His departure was keenly felt by all and particularly by Leek, Vinol, Henry? and Mike? who he kept generously supplied with juicy Jolly Tar or Battle Axe cud. A day of mourning- was decreed when Whip beat it for North Adams, and for several days Instructors Pope, Reed and Cushman kept moaning- with well disguised sorrowful delig-ht — Whipple has gone, — to with Whipple. As for theatricals, we have done our share towards the 1st hour Saturday performance, and Manager Wood deserves un- limited praise for turning out such a star cast. He well deserves the penny contributions which were so plentifully heaped upon him by his admiring constituents. What would we do without our English? If it does naught else, it does effect one ' s pro- ficiency in so conducting his roughhouse that the fellow sitting next to him gets put out of class. No words can express our love for High Art, so we will not waste your time on it. ' Nuf said. There is one record that the ' 10 class has established, and that is, no member has been credited with any unexcusable cuts. Of course there have occurred some few cuts due to oversleeping, theatres, and the night before ? but these cannot be classed as avoidable since the above reasons were always enough to satisfy the Faculty. If we only had the space we could cite a number of instances representative of some individual freshman eccentricities and ex- cellence, but as we ' re only one-third of the procession, we ' ll have to apologize to the other class celebrities whom we have been unable to include in our Hall of Knocks. Athletically the class has built up a good record. When Captain Abbott called the candidates for the football squad out, we responded with the proper spirit. Winslow, Hardy, Wilber [ 62 ] PICKOUT 1908 Gale, Henry, Gonnam, Neelon, Donovan and Blaikie, all succeeded in making- the team and were rewarded with the football T. But the accustomed run of hard luck overtook us; Gonnam boiled his arm, Winslow watered his knee, and Donovan dislocated his shoulder. (Rumor has it that had these freshies been able to stick out the entire season, the scores in several of the games would have been materially changed.) We have also had several on the basketball squad. Manning, Winslow and Gale have played very well in some of the big games, and show good speed and endurance. So here ' s a health to ' 10, the upper classmen, and to Textile; may success and fame always follow us. !j.i [ 63 ] PICKOUT 19 08 Agister of iljr (Elaas nf Name Anagnos, Demetrius Anderson, William Arienti, Peter Joseph Bean, Arthur Edward Blaikie, Howard Mills, 3 Brady, John Thomas, Jr., A K Bragg, Harold Neil Braun, Carl Louis, Jr. Canty, Timothy Andrew, A K Cary, Julian Clinton Deely, John Alfred Donovan, Michael Rick ard, Jr., Duval, Joseph Edward, A K Eveleth, Paul Henry Finlay, Harry Frank Fletcher, Roland Hartwell Gale, Harry Laburton, O n Goldberg, George Gonnam, John Cluff, O n Hale, Elliott Kidder Hall, Roswell Gleason, O n Hardy, Philip Lewis, O n Harrington, James Boyle Henry, William Leslie Hitchon, Herbert Martin, A K Howe, Woodbury Kendall, l HURTADO, LEOPOLDO, Jr. Course School Last Attended I Green School, Lowell VI Punchard High IV Searles High, Great Barring-ton IV Haverhill High II Medford High p II Albany High IV Medway High IV Lowell High p III Reading High VI Lowell High III St. Joseph ' s School AK3 III Lynn Classical High II Boston Latin II Lowell High IV Lawrence High VI Littleton High III Maiden High VI English High, Boston II Swampscott High II Lawrence High III English High, Boston VI Punchard High — Ware High Ill Concord High $ III Norwich Business College I Worcester Polytechnic Institute VI Swarthmore Preparatory School [64] PICKOTJT 1908 Wmttnn Ifyxmbnb wxh Em Home Address 509 Market St., Lowell, Mass. 52 High St., Andover, Mass. 104 Van Duesenville Road, Great Barring-ton, Mass. 53 Grove St., Haverhill, Mass.

In the election of officers for the several classes and athletic teams a man should vote for whoever he thinks is best fitted to carry on such duties, regardless of the fraternity or club to which the candidate belongs. As we understand it, a fraternity has, or should have, two main objects: first, to help its members both intellectually and socially, and second, to work for the interests of the college or school in which it is located. Of course it is only natural that fraternity men like to see one of their own number in office but if a man from another fraternity is nominated, who in their own minds is better fitted to carry on the duties of such an office, and they cast their votes against him, they hurt not only the class or athletic team which conies under the juris- diction of that officer, but their fraternity also. Better get together and think it over ; it ' s good food for thought. How often we have heard the expression What a tight wad that fellow Blank is. In order to be known as a good fellow is it necessary to foolishly throw your money (or your father ' s) away? To spend five or ten dollars in an evening sporting around with the fellows? To continually set up the cigars, and things that go with them for other people? For not doing all this a fellow soon acquires the name of being stingy, but if that is the definition of the word he should be proud of bearing it. Ask the bill collectors about the good fellows and they will tell you stories worth hearing. Then ask them about the stingy ones and you will find out that they are the ones who always pay their bills promptly. It is always the sporting element who are the dead beats. [88] PICKOIJT 1908 A young man generally thinks it an evidence of smartness to be known as a free lance, but it is an evidence of sound sense for a man to save his money for a rainy day. Stingy, as used here is a title to be sought for, as there are so many four-flushers in the world now who imagine that they are good fellows, hoping to realize on their wanton waste of money, that it speaks well for a fellow not to be classed among them. We are sorry that the Journal was discontinued this year, but the fault lies wholly with the students themselves. If there is not spirit enough in an institution the size of the Lowell Textile School to support a monthly paper, something is surely lacking somewhere. The lectures pertaining to textile subjects which were published in the paper should alone make it a valuable addition to every student ' s library We sincerely hope that interest in this little magazine will be awakened again next fall, so it is up to you, fellows, to make it a success. It is a surprising fact, but a true one, that several students who have been nominated and elected to important and honorable offices in the management of various school events, which it is unnecessary to mention, have declined to accept them, even with the knowledge that their resignations would cause the events to be a complete failure, of- fering the weak and shop worn excuse that they didn ' t have the time. This reason falls rather flat, because anyone can see that if a man takes an interest in promoting the affairs of the school he could easily arrange to put at least one or two hours a day into the work without interfering with his studies. In other colleges and institutions a man feels greatly honored to be elected to an important and responsible position and generally shows his appreciation by putting his whole heart and soul into its pro- motion. Why it is that men have to be coaxed and sometimes driven into office here is a mystery to us. It stands to reason, however, that unless this deplorable state of affairs is quickly remedied it will not be long before there will be nothing interesting here to break up the mo- notony of a year ' s work. It will be disgraceful to have to stand by and watch all the athletic teams, all the dances, and the Pickout fade away into the past the way the annual show has done.

Cornell afcxttl? djool The development of the Lowell Textile School in eleven years to its present importance among the higher educational institutions has been, in the language of an eminent member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard University phenomenal and it has attracted even deeper interest abroad, especially in official, industrial, and commercial circles than at home. Of the French Commission to the International Exposition at St. Louis, Paul Massie, Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce of Amiens, and Francisque Bonnier, Consullier due Commerce, Vienna, especially assigned to the subject of manufactures and Industrial Edu- cation, made a thorough inspection of the school and closed an elabo- rate official report thereon to the French Government with the declara- tion that — If one is to add to this nomenclature, all the auxiliary machines, the equipment for worsted spinning, preparation of the cotton warps, the silk warps, the laboratories of chemistry and physics, and the chem- istry museum, one sees that the Lowell Textile School is composed of an installation of the first order. It is the school of the world which includes the study of the greatest number of different textiles. Sir Swire Smith of Yorkshire, a leading machinery manufac- turer, is today probably the authority in highest repute in England on [96] PICKOUT 1908 the subject of industrial education. As a member of the Royal Commis- sion appointed by Queen Victoria in 1881, the elaborate report of which on Europe Industrial Education has become a classic, he was knighted for his eminent services. He visited Massachusetts in 1903, and at a dinner tendered him by representative citizens of Boston said : Yesterday I was privileged to inspect the Boston (Massachu- setts) Institute of Technology, and see the new developments in the mechanical, electrical and naval engineering; today I have visited the textile school of Lowell, and what I saw reminded me of a visit to one of the great technical schools of Germany some years ago in company with the minister of education. ' When I was in England, ' he re- marked, T was shown your great workshops where you made your engines and machinery ; this is one of the workshops where we make our men. ' Gentlemen, you have shown me the workshops where you make your men. I find in them an absolute guarantee of the progress of your industries and the highest development of your civilization. Your textile school of Lowell greatly impresses me by its prac- tical character, and I have formed the highest expectations of its future influence and success. The buildings have been erected on a noble scale, and its equipment of apparatus and machinery has been started with an eye to practical usefulness. The directors seem to be acting on a sound principle, not so much to supersede the practical experience of the factory, as to teach the students the principles underlying fac- tory work, so that they may apply true artistic and scientific knowledge to the designing, construction, and dyeing of textile goods in all materials. I have found a department in which instruction in pure art will be given in its application to textiles. The chemical department will give a foundation in chemistry that may be applied to dyeing, color-making, and to the industrial arts. In the same way the prin- ciples of mechanical and electrical engineering are so taught as to be capable of application to all forms of construction and practical utility. [97] PICKOUT 1908 Then you have not forgotten the commercial department and the training in foreign languages and in methods of distribution. We are sadly lacking in this knowledge in England. It is said that in London from thirty to forty per cent of the clerks and correspondents in the houses engaged in foreign trade are foreigners ; and not long ago a young German wrote home to his friends saying: ' You will be sorry to hear that we have still one Englishman left in our office. ' I congratulate you with all my heart on what I have seen at Lowell today. Your school is very young, and it has not yet gathered around it the equipment of some of the great schools on our side, yet in full remembrance of Crefeld, Vienna, Chemnitz, and some other continental cities that have established famous and historic schools, and of Bradford, Leeds, and Manchester, that in certain directions have risen to their responsibilities, I have to say that the Lowell school, if completed on a scale on which it is already partially furnished and organized, will not be surpassed by any school in the world. This is a great triumph for New England, but it is only what we expect; you see what others are doing, and then you go one better. Similar interest in official and educational circles of Germany is manifested, many pages of official and trade publications being de- voted to details of organization,, methods, and results of the school plant. The importance the school has attained is due mainly to the fact that the management has from the first had in view and worked for a clearly defined objective, namely, to provide for the textile and kindred industries employees not only thoroughly informed as to the make-up and operation of the machinery of textile production, and textile pro- cesses generally, but also thoroughly instructed in the sciences appli- cable or that should be understood and applied in producing textile fabrics. That the school is successfully accomplishing this object seems apparent from the following table showing positions the 161 day pupils so far graduated now occupy, nearly all having matriculated directly from the High schools without previous experience in textile design, manufacture or distribution.

Since that date about $70,000 in value has been added to the equipment and the chemistry and dyeing, cotton, woolen and worsted, and design departments may be said to be complete, all that is hereafter required being to keep pace with inventions and improvements in processes. A very important and valuable addition to chemistry and dyeing is an Industrial chem- istry laboratory for the manufacture of dyes from the raw material. About $31,000 worth of machinery and tools and all varieties of power application engines — steam, oil, turbine, spark, and electric — to bring the engineering department in equipment for applied instruction up to the standard of the other departments is now being provided. James T. Smith, Chairman Ways and Means Committee [99] iM PICKOIJT 1908 Attjtefe The athletic association started the season of 1907-8 with every prospect of success, both financially and in record. At the final meet- ing last year the resignation of Mr. Barker, the treasurer of the asso- ciation, was read and accepted only after his repeated refusals to serve another year. Mr. Barker deserves much credit for the way in which he helped to raise the money with which he paid off the association ' s debt before turning over the books to his successor, Mr. Perkins. His untiring work in directing the Textile Show was mainly responsible for its great success, and the remainder of the debt he collected person- ally by calling upon the trustees of the school with a subscription list. Anyone who has done that kind of work can fully appreciate the trouble that he put himself to in order to help the fellows along. Now that we have no white elephant on our hands the managers of the various teams will be able to arrange better schedules. How- ever, just because athletics are at last upon a firm basis, it is no reason why the students should discontinue to support the teams, instead they should offer even better support, so that it will be possible for the association to realize a little profit. If this is not done, and a few dollars are lost on each game it will not be long before we are in the hole again, and our past experience should be a warning. It seems that the prevailing spirit in the school is that unless the team is a winning one, it does not deserve any support at all. This is entirely the wrong idea for it is very seldom that any school or col- lege puts out a winning team every year. Often it is the case when a team is losing a little true support at the right time will put confi- dence into the fellows and the chances are that they will take a brace and pull themselves together. On the other hand, if they imagine that no interest is being taken in their work, they will become disheartened and play with a listlessness which cannot possibly result in anything but a long string of defeats. [102] PICKOUT 1908 The conditions existing now at the school are much more favor- able for successful athletic management than they were several years ago. We have a fine athletic field and campus upon which there is a football gridiron and a baseball diamond. There is also plenty of room for a first rate cinder track if only enough interest could be aroused to insure a good track team. Surely the material is not lacking, as we have athletes from all of the representative high schools and prepar- atory schools in New England. Two years ago a track team was run on a small scale, but the next year nothing was done about it and the matter has dropped into oblivion. We hope that some individual with enough of the right kind of school spirit will revive this department of athletics and give Textile a chance to show some of the other colleges that Textile is not a dead one with the spiked shoes yet. It was also rumored this spring that a crew was going to be organized, and for a few weeks excitement ran high, but no one was willing to step forward and take the responsibility of engineering the proposition so of course it fell through. The facilities for running a crew at Textile are excellent. We have the Merrimack River right at our doors and a finer place for rowing could not be desired. Above the falls a wide stretch of several miles is offered, with a very moderate current. While it would be absurd to think of entering the college class for a few years, we could surely send out a crew that would com- pare favorably with any of the academy crews, and also with those from the Boston schools. Then, in three or four years, the chances for entering the college regattas would be excellent. It should be obvious to everyone that all we need to make these things possible, and to insure first class teams in all the branches of athletics is the support of the student body. It is time that you men wake up and give us your hearty support ; think of the possibilities ; haven ' t you spirit enough to want the Textile School to be a leader and not a trailer? It is your backing that we need now so speak up with your subscriptions and we will put forth teams that will command the respect of any in the country. [103] Ld 1 v3 n J.

Ehrenfried 1906-7 [104] PICKOUT 1908 ifamibatl At the close of the 1906 football season, the prospects for the season of 1907 seemed unusually bright as only a few of the regular players were expecting to leave school, so the students had it all doped out that the eleven men who were to represent Textile on the gridiron during the past season would at least equal, if not sur- pass the championship record made by the 1906 team. But we were doomed to disappointment, as eight of the old men whom we had counted on did not play, six of them leaving the school. It might be well to mention the eight who were among the missing on the gridiron last fall, as each one did his share in making the 1906 eleven the strongest in the history of the school, and deserves full credit for it. Following are the names : Dodo Ellis, one of the fastest halfbacks that ever wore the red and black. Oom Paul ' ' Stursberg, who made a name for himself by his fierce line smashing and tackling. Bobo Morton, the little quarterback, who more than once has pulled the team out of a tight box by his clever headwork. Big Jim Murray, whose long, spiral punts were the terror of many an opposing quarterback, was especially missed, as his strong playing at left tackle always put confidence into the rest of the team. Paul Read and Tom Reilly, a most excellent pair of guards and full of grit and courage. Bill Fairbanks and Duggy Newall, the fast ends whose speed, and nerve in taking chances, made the much feared forward- pass such a marked success during the season. To come back to the 1907 team ; Dick Abbott, a veteran tackle, was elected captain, and in response to his call for candidates some good material was found in the freshman class, although the men were not as heavy as might be desired. [106] PICKOUT 1908 Manager Dwight arranged a very good schedule for the team and in addition strengthened the back field by coming out and playing his old position at half back. Much credit is due him for making the team a success financially, as it is a very difficult proposition to keep a losing team from going in the hole. The schedule this year was not an easy one, as it included games with Exeter, Worcester Academy, Groton, and teams that are in the small college class. The season opened with Mechanic Arts High at Lowell, but their ripping attack was too much for our light team and we were forced to go down defeated in our initial game. Next Exeter and Worcester walked away with two games, but we were not sur- prised, as their elevens were very strong and were composed of ex- perienced players. Just for the novelty of it we trimmed St. Anselm ' s College after a scrappy game, in which the referee figured conspicuously. However, we received another setback next week at Groton, but by a very small margin. The season may be considered a failure as far as the result of the games is concerned, but great credit is due the members of the team for sticking together the way they di d. It was a grand up- hill fight all through the season, and each man has been rewarded with his T, of which he has every right to feel proud. Abbott Pkescott Dwight [107] ..IFmitbalL i , !! .

It is true that we won only seven out of the twelve games which were played, but when one takes into consideration that the players on the teams which de- feated us were in almost every case veterans who have been playing together for two or three years, it is not at all surprising that we did not win every game on our schedule. At the first of the season the prospects were unusually bright for a victorious team, as four of last year ' s varsity expressed their intentions of coming out again this year. Then some very good material was found in the freshmen class, and although they were unused to playing under college rules, they picked it up readily and a better squad of subs could not be wished for. The initial game of the season, with St. John ' s Academy, was very one sided, Textile winning easily, but it gave the students a good opportunity to size up the fellows and served as an excellent practice game in which the mettle of the freshmen candidates was thoroughly tested. The team work was very fast for so early in the season. The next game was played with Dean Academy at Franklin, and Textile was defeated by quite a margin, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, as Dean was not defeated once on their own floor, and there is not the least doubt they could take Harvard or Yale into camp as easily as they did Textile. The contest with Massachusetts Institute of Technology was one of the most interesting games of the year, as the score fluctuated back and forth with M. I. T. in the lead one minute, and then Textile would creep ahead the next. One minute before the end we led them by three points and everyone thought it was all over but the shouting, when by a brilliant spurt they managed to cage two baskets giving them the game by one point. [H2] PICK OUT 1 9 O 8 Textile owes her victory over Gushing Academy to the great teamwork which was displayed, as Cushing is a fast team and is very seldom beaten on their own floor. The largest score of the season, fifty points, was run up against the Norwich University five, and there was nothing to it but Textile all the evening. All of the subs were given a tryout in this game and they showed up to perfection. Manning especially did fine work. A second game with Dean Academy was played in Lowell, and although we were again defeated, the score was considerably smaller and a great improvement was noticed over the first game. The stu- dents were perfectly satisfied with the result, and were unanimous in voicing their appreciation of the fellows ' work. Harvard 2nd then sent a crowd of children up here who played like infants ; even the Lowell High School could have trimmed them handily. After watching them practice for a few minutes it was de- cided that it would be a shame to take the money, but as we didn ' t want to disappoint the large gallery, we decided to send the second or third team in against them. Our subs put it all over them and when time was called at the end of the second half, poor Harvard was forced to leave the floor with their tongues hanging out and the neat score of 36 — 10 against them. Three more victories were then chalked up to Textile ' s credit, as Tufts College, Worcester Polytech, and the University of Maine were snowed under and haven ' t recovered from the fall yet. But we really ought to give them all the credit of playing a snappy game, as they are not so slow as the scores would indicate. The fastest game of the year was with the University of Ver- mont, and some wonderful work was done by both sides, with Vermont having things slightly their way. Both teams were inclined to rough it at times, but no hard feeling was shown, so all the temporary indul- gences in amateur pugilism were perfectly excusable. The final game with Andover in their town ended disastrouslv for Textile, as the floor was as slippery as ice and the Andover players, being used to it, were the only ones who remained on their feet for any length of time. Quite a number of students accompanied the team on the trip and seemed to enjoy themselves immensely, both during the game and after it. [113] PICKOUT 1908 A good record should be established next year, as the two var- sity forwards will be back, and all of the freshmen candidates expect to return, so we hope that the managers will get busy and arrange another good schedule, with just as many home games, and a few more out of town.

The schedule was a strong one and although we did not vent- ure into the college class, some of the best academy and prep school teams were on the list. Tech batted us all over the field in our first game, but as the fellows had never played together before it makes a most excellent excuse. The next game, with Tufts College 2nd, was one sided, Textile having things all their own way until the last inning, when a sub pitcher was put into the box, and then Tufts secured six runs, almost enough to give them the game. The game with Gushing Academy at Ashburnham was one of the fastest of the season and ' although we lost by a small score the team work was above reproach. Bunce and Ellis as the battery gave a good account of themselves and kept the Cushing players guessing most of t he time. If Textile had been able to connect with the ball a little oftener the score without doubt would have been different. St. Anselm ' s College also took us into camp, but the sting of this defeat was wiped out when we sent the Bradford Durfee Textile School running for the tall timber with the score of 11-2 piled up against them. The Ballou Hobigand School was also done up in a neat brown paper package and sent back to Boston, and it would be a safe bet that they did not do as much crowing on their return trip as they did coming up. [120] PICKOUT 1908 The final game came just before school closed with the Groton School nine at Groton and resulted in an easy victory for Textile who piled up seventeen runs to Groton ' s eight. The work of Bunce, Ellis, Weinz and Holden was especially good, and they did much towards putting confidence into the rest of the team. At present indications point towards a good season this year as at least half of last year ' s team are now in school and there seems to be plenty of promising material in the freshmen class. With this in view a strong schedule has been arranged, and several new and faster teams have been taken on. The only trouble seems to be the financial end, and if the students would only pledge a few dollars apiece and then make at least an effort to attend some of the games, there would be no doubt but that the team will establish a record of which we should be proud.

It was thought by the leaders of this movement that it would furnish good preliminary practice for the varsity candidates, and that it would also give a larger field to choose from. Much enthusiasm was awak- ened among the students and they always turned out in large numbers to cheer their favorite team on to victory. Mr. Ferguson, the instructor in design, was vested with the strenuous duties of refereeing the contests, and he did his work as if he was being paid for it. No bouquets were thrown, however, as the price of violets was altogether too high at that time of the year. Of course the Wool Department had the winning team as it was composed mainly of first team players. The greatest rivalry was shown between the Little Umps and the C 9 C; the chemistry men managed to pull out with the honors, however, to the deep disappointment of the designers and of their loyal supporters, the cotton men. The two freshmen divisions were at the tail end of the proces- sion, and could not win a game from any of the other teams. This is the first year that this scheme for arousing interest in basketball has been tried, and judging from the approval which it gained from the fellows it should not be given up next year. It serves to get a man in good condition so that when the varsity practice be- gins no time is lost in preliminary work. As a rule the freshmen can- didates are used to playing under the Y. M. C. A. rules and this idea of department games serves as an excellent medium through which they are introduced to college basket ball.

I ' m Leonard Schaefer Farr; Listen to my prep school yell, Holyoke ! Holyoke ! Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! I make a hit where ' ere I go I am so popular; And when it comes to basketball My record ' s ' way above par. Listen my children and you shall hear Of this man of great renown ; His funny name is Olin Gay, From Cavendish he comes down. He swears it ' s quite a hustling place Although not yet a town ; He lives, you know, in the other house. The one that ' s painted brown. [145] PICKOTJT 1 9 O 8 From the distant Philippines Far across the blue Pacific, Came Geronimo Huising On the steamer, oh so seasick. Now he spins all kinds of cotton, Spins it thin and spins it thick ; The only thing that he is slow on Is the English rhetoric. Now we come to Leland Jenckes. He deserves one whole full page, With the limelight turned right on him In. the center of the stage. But we sadly lack the space To give his virtues pasturage ; Turn back a page and you will see The photo of this world wise sage. Lewis is a first rate chemist, He quotes Avogadro ' til you ' re sick ; And after months of careful research He found his head was like a brick. But when a test does not quite suit him And he cannot solve the trick, Then you really ought to hear him, All he does is kick, kick, kick. [146] PICK OUT 1908 Poor Jim Lowell ; we are sorry, Where in thunder can you go. You surely can ' t go back to Worcester For the dear old town ' s gone NO. So you ' d better stay in Lowell For you know it ' s not so slow ; Get a cinch job tutoring freshmen And save up your hard earned dough. Howard Mailey won his laurels In department basketball; He surely was a striking figure, Long of limb, and lean, and tall. If an opponent ran against him He ' d soak him once, and that was all ; But that one punch would always knock them Almost halfway ' cross the hall. Way down in the boiler room, Where the wheezy engines blow; You ' ll find Mason reading Stirling Where the grease and oil doth flow. Some day he ' ll take his little hammer And hit the boiler an awful blow ; There ' ll be a bang — a loud explosion ; We hate to think where he will go. [147] PICK OUT 1908 Now Joshua Perkins how are the crops Down in East Bridgewater, Mass. You don ' t know how you ' ve improved at Tex, In ' 05 you were greener than grass. But now you belong to the brave Little Umps And stand at the head of your class. When it comes to hot air you ' re surely right there, Oh, Joshua Perkins, you ' ll pass. In the chem lab, from early morning Braman Proctor stays ' till late ; Mixing, pouring, heating, stirring, Trying to find a precipitate. But in the evening, when the moon shines, He will think and meditate, Then stroll down beside the river, It ' s obvious he has a date. Here we have a model student, Freddie Reynolds is his tag; Each morn he crosses the Merrimac With his little green cloth bag. He always answers roll on time, His feet they never lag; ' Though he pulls H in everything You never hear him brag. [148] PICKOUT 1908 Robinson is awfully tall, His nose is long and lean. One day he found a precipate And thought the color was green. But ' twas only the reflection that he saw, Strange as it may seem. He always eats at the Textile Lunch And orders a pot of beans. Jimmy Sargent (oh the cut up) Went out walking with a girl ; And she tickled him so gently With a cute peroxide curl. Jimmy quoted her some poetry, Said her teeth were like the pearl ; But when she dropped them on the sidewalk, Gee, his brain was in a whirl. It must be fine to have a pull With the instructor in design ; Lauris Weeks, old boy, has got one, How I wish his marks were mine. He will soon be an instructor, His name on exams will shine ; Beware then, my little freshmen You ' ll never see a ninety-nine. [149] PICKOIJT 1 9 O 8 Our Al Weinz is a queer old cluck; He came from M. I. T. He ' ll make you laugh from morn to night With bum jokes on Eggosee. His smile is one that won ' t come off, With me you ' ll all agree That he should study for the stage And get a clown ' s degree. H. Wingate is a fusser, He lives at eighty-one, And when the telephone rings two You ought to see him run. He loves to stroll on a moonlight night But he doesn ' t like the sun. Henry will have a hot old time And it ' s only just begun. Stubby Winslow rides on the flyer Back and forth to Ayer ; He ' s awfully short and round and roily, Like a little brown Teddy Bear. We are glad to say though, Stubby, That we never heard you swear. So cheer up ; we won ' t roast you Never mind dear, don ' t you care. [150] PICKOUT 1908 Sylvanus Prince, who hails from Lowell, Came to the Textile School ; He can work the sum of eleven plus twelve With the aid of a slide rule. He cares not a rap for any girl, (Which proves he is no fool) He gives them a nod as he passes by, And a stare that is icy and cool. Now you see we ' ve done our duty. We really can ' t do any more ; If these verses do not please you, What ' s the use in getting sore. If you think that you ' ve been roasted Don ' t complain ; you ' d be a bore And you ' d get no satisfaction, Just the brief phrase; There ' s the door, [151] PICKOTT 1908 A iSHwttng nf tJff prkrnrt Month The meeting is opened with a roll call, all responding except Stony, who has his regular date with Hattie down on the Boulevard. After a short prayer by the Editor, the Business Manager re- ports that a full page Ad. has been procured from the Waverly ; Mul- len makes the motion that payment be taken out in trade by the Board, which is seconded and carried by a unanimous vote. At this point the meeting is delayed for half an hour while Bal- lard tells one of his famous yarns, at the close of which the Editor is obliged to tap each member on the shoulder to recall him from his nap. The Editor then announces that $1.75 are due him for six packs of playing cards which have been worn out at previous meetings, and which he furnished. ( No motion is made to make it right with the Editor.) The freshmen class editors report that it is doubtful whether or not they will be able to get their material in on time, as their class is so slow that there is nothing to write about. After a silent cheer for the football team and a rousing one for themselves, the Board adjourns. A TESTIMONIAL. Lowell, Mass., Jan. 19, 1908. Messrs. Ginn Co., Publishers, Boston, Mass. Gentlemen : — I began using your Algebra during my fresh- man year at the Lowell Textile School, (four years ago,) and have not changed since. I think that it improves with age.

FEBRUARY 9-STERE0PTIC0N LECTURE [153] PICKOUT 1908 The learned traveler, Raymond Paton, of Newtonville, will pre- sent a most beautifully illustrated lecture on How I Did London On $10.00, and in addition, he will give a short talk on the Horrors of a Cattleboat. Among the collection of photos which he took himself and will show on the screen, a few of the most interesting are ; Scenes in a London Dive, (procured at the risk of his life) A London Hash House, (as compared with Whitman ' s) A Few London Belles, (per- sonally acquainted) A Life Size Picture of the Celebrated London Fog, and others fully as interesting, mainly from life. This is one of our most attractive offers, as Mr. Paton is a very interesting lecturer, and talks with a charming English accent. THE HEAVENLY (?) TWINS. [154] PICKOUT 1908 IBarkrra If am Hiftmana Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward. All on the wool trip Went Barker ' s Four Hundred. Forward, ye bum brigade. Capture those girls. Dwight said, All on the wool trip Noble Four Hundred. Farr at the right of line, Gay at the left of line, Lowell behind the line Stumbled and blundered. Barker knew the reason why, (Their ammunition was Extra Dry ) Gallant Four Hundred. In through the mill ' s great door. Barker explained some more. ' Way above Dick Abbot ' s snore His voice thundered. Down to the woolen mule. The foe of many a fool In the old Textile School, Went the Four Hundred. [155] PICKOUT 1908 Will their great glory fade? When the next reports are made? All the school wondered. When the reports come out They ' ll be found up the spout — Barker ' s Four Hundred.

(Note) The reason why he lives is because he sent the poem by mail instead of bringing it personally. Student — (joyously) — Oh, Mrs. Whitman, I found an oyster in my soup. Mrs. Whitman — (hurriedly) — I can ' t help it. Stone — (banging the mandolin) — Am I disturbing you, Chick? Holden — Oh no; I like any kind of music. Elook — - Will you name one of the most important acids of iodine ? Fresh Freshman — The most important acid of iodine is idiotic acid. Hook — You have used it yourself, have you not? MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY HERE Pope — (after giving a lecture to the freshmen class) — Gentle- men, will one of you please open the transom, there is altogether too much hot air being turned loose in here. Bill Parkis and Stone met two pretty good looking girls one night on Pawtucket Street not so very long ago, and Stoney while trying to make a hit, remarked, You girls go to Rogers Hall, do you not? Imagine their surprise when the beauty replied, Will yez listen ter the kid, Maggie. We wouldn ' t go ter Rogers Hall fer nawthin. [161] PICK OUT 19 OS A TRAGEDY IN ONE ACT Curtain rises: Scene, Autumn Party. Fairbanks discovered standing near the door talking with a strange gentleman. Bill — (as an unusually homely girl dances by) — For heaven ' s sake, did you ever see such a face? Stranger- — (coughing)- — Er — she ' s my niece. Curtain falls. Notice in Plymouth Gazette : — Hueston Collingwood is still pursuing his studies at the Lowell Textile School. (Note) But it ' s a stern chase, and a long one. Hook invented an insoluble chemical with which to line off the tennis court ; guaranteed not to wash or run, and applied it. There was a slight fog during the night and the new invention was not much in evidence the next morning. The solicitude with which the Freshies try to keep poverty from Prof. Wood ' s door is very commendable, but we would advise Mr. Walker to save his pennies for Charlie ' s machine.. HER OPINION I do not like the Freshman, For a man too fresh is he ; I cannot love the Senior, Though so near to his degree But I love the jolly Junior, — Yes, he ' s the man for me. [162] PICK OUT 1908 Senior, to brother Senior, after the semies : — What did you get, old man, H? B. S. — H at home. Prof. Umpleby, during design lecture to Juniors : — Now fill those squares with green ; if you haven ' t a green pencil use a black one and fill in with green just the same. LITTLE UMPS If by chance you come to Lowell, (Any time) Take a trolley out to Textile, (Half a dime) Stop a moment at the gate See those students coming late? Introduce you, if you ' ll wait; Little Umps. When they get inside the buildings (Notice this) They should go to recitations (Which they miss) They march proudly through the hall The C 9 C before them fall ; One up, two down, and that is all. Little Umps. Now you see the reason why (On their knee) To the Little Umps they bow, (C 9 C) There is no room left for doubt, Wool and Chem must soon step out; Hear the victors as they shout Little Umps.

After spending two hours one afternoon with the instructor, (who did most of the work) he made arrangements for about forty more hours, but when upon leaving Mr. Lupien gently broke the news that, Collingwood being a Textile student, he would only charge him $2.00 an hour, Colly, who thought it was all free gratis, decided that he would drop physics, and im- mediately cancelled all further engagements, to Mr. Lupien ' s surprise and disappointment. It might be well to mention that the $4.00 owed for that after- noon ' s work is still in trust. [ 165 J PICKOUT 1908 FIERCE BATTLE IN QUANTITATIVE LAB. General - ' Twinkle Prescott ) Battery A Jay Jay Callahan V The Army Battery B ------ Ed ) Main Enemy, (M. E.) ------ Brainy Left Flank, (L. F.) - - - - - - - Sandy After roll call Gen. Twinkle holds a hurried council of war in the weighing room with Batteries A and B, and a forced march on the M. E. is planned. The General opens the engagement by poising his water bottle in air for a moment and then taking the M. E. un- awares in the left eye with a stream of hot H2O. The M. E. then hastily grabs his water bottle and relentlessly pursues Gen. Twinkle, both pouring broadside after broadside at each other ; but Battery A rushes to his General ' s assistance and opens upon the M. E. from the rear. At this moment the M. E. ' s stopper blows out and hits him on the nose, so he -is forced to retire rather hastily. The L. F. conies up on the hotfoot just in time to save the M. E. from complete annihila- tion, and a lively battle follows, up and down the lab, until Battery B, who has just finished filling Woodie ' s pockets with water, rushes to the front, whereupon the M. E. and L. F. stand not upon the order of their going, but retire precipitately. (Note 1) The army then sings a song of victory. Suddenly Bill Reid ' s footsteps are heard, and upon his entrance they are discovered dili- gently laboring over some determination ; but no sooner has he disap- peared, than Gen. Twinkle, taking hurried aim at the M. E., sends a 6 pounder (Note 2) over the intervening desk; but, his aim being very poor, the charge strikes Nip Smith on the back of thehead. (Then Nip ' s voice sounds forth above the laughter cussing all rough- housing and vowing vengeance). Some thoughtful individual at this moment yelling half past three there is a grand rush for the stock room, the M. E. falling down seven steps in his hurry to get there. Note 1.

The class is unable to boast of a Methusela, as the oldest mem- ber is only 26 years and 6 months. The class baby is 20 years and 10 months. What is your weight? The average weight is one hundred and fifty-eight pounds, a most excellent average, as there are no heavyweights or dwarfs in the class. The fat man only weighs one hundred and eighty- pounds, and the featherweight tips the scales at one hundred and eighteen pounds flat. [174] PICKOTJT 1908 What is your height? The average height is five feet nine inches. Our basketball center is the tallest man, the brim of his hat being six feet and and one quarter of an inch from the ground. Stubby Wins- low is going to live on a diet of Yeast Cakes, as he only meas- ures five feet four inches. What is your complexion? 58% of the class are light; 33% are dark, and the remaining 9% style themselves as medium. One would-be Apollo says that his complexion is fine. Another uses the term ' alf and ' alf in describing his beauty; we don ' t know just what he means though. Another man, who really doesn ' t know how handsome he is, thinks that his complexion is a dish water yellow. What is your rising hour? Quite a variety of answers were received to this question, one man taking his sleep during lectures and rising at the close of the afternoon session, at 4.30 p. m. However, the average time is 6.55 a. m., with only two members crawling out before five o ' clock. Needless to say, Jim Lowell, Si Perkins and Win- gate, stay the limit and take their cold shower about eight o ' clock. (Or a little after) What is your retiring hour? The average time for the class is 11.20 p. m. Dick Abbott goes to bed at 10.00 o ' clock, but he lives at home so that ex- plains it. We have two night owls who never think of sleep until one o ' clock, but we prefer to keep their identity dark. [ 175 ] PICK OUT 190.8 What is your favorite exercise? Walking heads the list, with sleeping a close second. The others which were mentioned are eating, dreaming, fishing, bas- ketball, football, skating, and Diabola. Three members admit that they do not care for exercise at all. Who is the most popular man? Farr can claim the distinction of being the favorite with his classmates, and we do not doubt that if the girls of Lowell were given a vote on the question he would also be a winner. Proc- tor was the second choice. Who is the man most likely to succeed? Mailey had things all his own way, and received more than half of the votes. Proctor again took second place, and Robinson, Reynolds, Dwight, Ballard, and Weinz were mentioned. Who is the homeliest man? Winslow obtained the leather medal in this contest, but as beauty is only skin deep we hope he will not take it too much to heart. Lewis also came in quite strong at the finish and if there had been one more lap to go he would without doubt have robbed Stubby of the prize. Who is the biggest fusser? Ballard and Dwight ran a dead heat in this race and were tied for first place. Arrangements are being made for a public fuss- ing contest to decide who really is the champion. Judges have not been selected yet, but we suggest that Gay and Farr would make good ones, as they also received several votes for this title. [176] PICKOTT 1908 Who is your favorite member of the Faculty? Mr. Stewart won easily, with Professors Olney and Umpleby tied for second place. Mr. Smith was mentioned. Who is your favorite instructor? Mr. Wilmott and Mr. Ferguson were tied for first honors, with Mr. Reed close on their heels. Mr. Crompton and Mr. Pope were mentioned. Did you ever use a pawn ticket? The majority of the class never have used one. Two said very emphatically that they had. Another man expects to use one soon, and two members of the class do not know what they are. Approximate expenses for three years? The average of the answers received is $1,500.00. The high- est reaches $2,500.00, and the lowest is $600.00. One man says that he can live on $4.98 per week, and he doesn ' t live in a hall room, either. What is your political party? 90% of the class are Republicans. Only one man claims alleg- iance to the Democratic party. Two men have no party, and the rest are divided among the Socialists and Nihilists. [177] PICKOTJT 1 9 ,8 What is your opinion of Decorative Art? We deeply regret to say that only five men think that it is a good thing, and they do not express themselves very emphat- ically. Several think that it is a drawback to other good sub- jects, another says that it is a good thing to pass the time away, and still another thinks it an unnecessary evil. What is your opinion of Lowell as a city? Only four think that it is a good town, and they express them- selves very mildly. We will give some of the other answers which were received. Well? Good town in a social way. A poor city, but the girls are O. K. Could be improved. Hot place. Worst on the map.

Just this, in the far East wool is scoured in the waters of running streams whose courses carry them througfh alkaline deoosits. And from these wools are manu- factured the oriental rugs which never wear out. Now are you interested — you should be. Such an object lesson should convince you how much superior a mild alkali is to a severe or harsh alkali when used for scouring, be it raw wool or finished cloth. Wyandotte Textile Soda None Genuine except with a card bearing this Trade nark n; Wpanflottr One trademark Card is a mild alkali. And it is more, as it contains other ingre- dients which especially adapt it for many uses in connection with the treatment of wool, both in its raw state and the finished product. Don ' t stand still, but if you are using harsh alkalies break away from such methods. Ask us to send you our free booklet Textile Hints and ask your sup- ply man to send you Wyandotte Textile Soda.
