He is one of Lowell ' s representative citizens and is prominently connected with many of her largest financial and manufacturing- institutions. He is President of the Union National Bank, and of the A. G. Pollard Company, one of the largest department stores in New England. Mr. Pollard has always been heartily interested in the welfare and progress of the Textile School, and in appreciation of his kind- ness, and creditable manner in which he has managed the financial problems of our school, we dedicate the Pickout of 1909.

Editor in Chief : PICK0UT : My Dear Sir: — Your note of the 9th instant is received and contents noted. The name of your year book is a very familiar one to me. ' ' Pickouts ' ' are the bane of a weaver ' s existence and they are very much to be avoided if possible. If, however, the blemish becomes established, it is the only remedy. This proves the old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure . I am very much interested in the textile and other industrial schools of Massachusetts and be- lieve they can serve a most useful purpose in the general educational scheme of the State. The one idea that I should be glad to see impressed on all the students in our industrial work in the Common- wealth is THOROUGHNESS. It seems to me that at this time our students skip altogether too lightly over too many things rather than knowing thoroughly a few. My advice, therefore, is thoroughness in all you do . Very sincerely yours, JACOB ROGERS Vice-President of the Corporation Trustee on the Part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts TO The Memory OF CHARLES L.

Our first impression of Lowell was somewat vague. Certainly the dismal railroad station, and the pathetic attempt at retail prosperity surrounding it, did not offer a grain of joyful realization of our long anticipated pilgrimage. However, with whatever consolation we could muster, we gradually became used to our environments, and straightway set about starting upon our three pleasant years at Textile. With an exceptional amount of tact, obedience, submission and humilia- tion, we weathered the time-honored storm of hazing, and notwithstanding th e nauseating effects from the digestion of fresh lard and magnesium (of which we were compelled to partake), it was not long before we were seriously engaged in the rounds of duties and pleasures that presented themselves. Being led thru ' the elements of Design and Chemistry caused considerable trouble, while many other poor unfortunates tripped upon Brother Ball ' s Mechanism, to say nothing of the mysteries of High Art. In all probability, complications in this last branch of science were due largely to the misleading cognomens of hungry Art Brainerd, and obesious Art Mullen. Our introduc- tion to the course in Rhetoric and Literature, and to its stern Profesor W 1, was popularly appreciated. Aside from its educational virtues, this course was 31 PICKOUT 1909 a healthy medium for the cultivation of rough-house tactics, in the perfecting of which, all. except four hundred pounds of Cherub Westcott, became keen- ly interested. Cherub, incidentally, was prevented here from engaging active- ly, fearing for the loss of his latitudinous equilibrium. Jim Murray, Bill Fitzpatrick and Nipper Smith piloted the swarthy crew, as President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer respectively, and cred- itable was the execution of their duties. In response to the first call for football candidates, 1909 showed up well, with the result that Fairbanks, Murray, Newell and Prescott won their T ' s. To conform with the curriculum logic. the time now arrived at which it became necessary to enter upon the roads of specialization. Ruts being chosen, we settled down perceptibly, and all fared smoothly, excepting, of course, the little upheavals characteristic of, and necessary to, the various departments, as H2 fights in Chemistry; bobbin hurling contests in ' And Looms; bluffing in Dutch, et al. In the water fights. Twinkle Prescott, better known as Trouble Breeder Most Potent. earned the leadership. With the dawn of Spring came Spring fever, and with the malady of Spring fever came cutting. This last institution manifested itself diverse- ly, but most humorously in the way the fellows would skin out of the side win- dows during English recitation period, or during Prof. Clark ' s fascinating ex- pounding of ' ' Mediaeval and Modern House and Roof Painting. ' ' Without noise, or turmoil, the final exams evidenced themselves, and this meant two solid weeks of swearing off and cramming. Following this odious series, the beautiful, dried-up grass that was once green, and the heat that used to be cold, beckoned us homeward, and we reluctantly (nit) wended homeward. Returning in the Fall of 1907, we entered upon our second year with re- newed vigor, but without the fuss, hesitation and precision of the year pre- vious. We were looking for trouble, and we soon found it. To assert our sig- nificance, we performed a violation to the Golden Rule upon the unsuspecting 32 PICKOUT 1909 Freshmen, and bloodthirstingly avenged ourselves for past grievances. Leav- ing the Freshmen to the wiles and de vast age of the pioneer coozies, Ave fo- eussed our intellects upon loftier ideals, the outcome of which was the elec- tion of Twink as President and Representative to the Athletic Council; Bill Boyd as Vice-President, and Chick Holden as Secretary and Treasurer. Incident to the departure of Little Mary, the scrub woman, came the inauguration of a new course, intended for the careful perusal into the archives of Industrial History. This incentive to sleep aroused nearly as much interest as Rhetoric and advanced Philosophy of the previous year, with the one and only objection that it kept us awake nights, contriving ' some new ways of amusing our dear old Professor. After considerable deliberation, it was decided to use the main aisle in the English Room as a bowling alley with Prof. Woods ' derby as the king pin. This proved satisfactory to us, but we cannot quite comprehend why Dr. Wood so strenuously objected to our fre- quently tying down his dip, so it would not run away; or hiding his book bag so as to give him some experience in using his latent Conan Doylish deduction. Ten minutes intermission to allow Editors to have a smoke. To resume: — One of the prominent historic events of A. D., 1908, was the delightful little party we had with the class of 1910 at the old stone crusher. Here occurred a very exciting series of filial affrays intermingled with paint and sand slinging, preciptious leaps, and cafch-as-caleh-can wrestling bouts. We did not want the old stone crusher any way, so we permitted the freshmen to stay there and play in the sand, but had we wanted to, we could etc., etc., etc., but people in glass houses should pull down the shades when they retire. Again we went home — yes, went home— to enjoy the last summer vacation we would have at old Textile. After four months of diligent studying at the seashore and country, we 33 PICKOTJT 1909 once again returned, (as did our faithful Professors and Instructors) to renew hostilities on the last lap of the race. As Seniors, we must not dwell to any length upon the frivolities of life, or upon any instance of levity characterizing it, suffice it to say that the TIME passed, serenely ; we did not PASS everything with the same serenity ; however, here Ave are, on the threshold of the cold world, waiting for Dame Fortune, the most popular of Spinsters, to shell out our share. We are now about to enter upon the sea of life; to be buffeted by the winds of toil and adversity. We shall be tried, yet hope to be found — not wanting. Then we shall rise, strong and true, and pay homage to Textile — our Alma Mater. 34 PICKOTJT 1909 ®h? g mxot ©lass William Boyd A K £ Bill Class Vice-President, 2. Textile Show, 1. Mandolin Club, 1. Orchestra, 1-3. Bill Boyd, the Beau Brummell from North Adams, meandered to Lowell, with the primitive training- received at N. A., as his only asset, and joined the class of ' 09. Bill is a particularly conscientious chap, to the extent that he considers four or five years none too much time to thoroughly imbibe the Woolen Course. He is an adept cut- ter, of both cards and recitations. Owing 1 to his remarkable ability as a cellist, he has been tendered a prom- ising offer on the orchestra at the Pastime Theatre. Arthur Travena Bkainekd £ Brainy C 9 C. Alembic, 2, 3. Pres. Alembic, 3. Textile Show, 1. Basketball, 3. Brainy has been an honor man in his course ever since he has been on the chemistry roll, as his name would imply. Emigrating from the suburbs of Haverhill, he hopped into Lowell and was splendidly greeted, by a mis- take, as Barnum and Bailey ' s thin man freak. However, he added ma- terially to his carcas, after slinging meals at Mrs. Whitman ' s for a fort- night or two, and has prospects of becoming head waiter at the Spa. He has added several new names to the list of his almost matrimonies, and upon the departure from our midst of Mary, the scrub woman, he engaged her as his social secretary. 35 FICKOXJT 1909 Raymond Hamek Bunce A K E Bunco Little Umps, 2, 3. Baseball. 1, 2. Basketball, 1, 2, 3. This laconic gentleman was incu- bated at North Adams, and has become known as the biggest talker in the class. He is always ready for a lengthy story or conversation, and wears a perpetual smile. He is a Special Designer, as his abundance of spare time would indicate, and makes as his specialty designing ladies ' kimonas. Bunce has always been a mainstay on the basketball and base- ball teams, even though he does toss the cue ball with his left hand. He is quite a lady ' s man and has been much sought after as the shining light in all the local social functions. William McGavin Burns Bill Alembic. 3. Textile Show, 1. As one of North Adams ' many cos mopolitan importations, Burns ranks high. He is a veritable plugger, and, as the result of his careful application to the Chemistry Course, he can now discriminate between the oxides of ni- trogen and a horse collar. He is a charter member of the Smoking Room Evervafternoon Club, during the ses- sions of which he has held some re- markably high hands. If he con- tinues feeding ' on the rare pickled pig ' s feet turned out at the Textile Lunch, he ' ll be the owner of a big corporation, a long cherished ambition. HUESTON COLLINGWOOD Huey ' ' Little Umps, 2, 3. Pres. Little Umps, 3. Textile Show, 1, 3. Mandolin Club, 1, 3. Huey is rightly due the title of the gentleman of his class. Having auc- tioned off his room effects last year we hardly expected him to return to us again, but when he did, a school holi- day was decreed by the Board of Trustees. Notwithstanding the weighty responsibility encumbent up on him as a Special Designer, Colly has manifested genuine spirit through- out and is still single and without a gray lock. We wish him untold suc- cess in his venture as Super of the Amalgamated Employment Agency, in which line his Textile training will prove very effective. 36 PICKOTJT 1909 Harold Wright Conant Deacon Scissors This daring young Macaroni from Rue de Littleton, took the city by his whirlwind arrival. Laying - claim to the honor as the tiggest fusser in the class, he is living up to it creditably. He spends his time outside of classes in perusing Vergil ' s Aeneid and the Ladies ' Home Journal, the latter of which he is local correspondent for the Woman ' s Page. Putting all jest- ing aside, Harold is oneof the brainiest men of 1909. He is sincere, quick, pos- sessing good mental retention, and has g ood prospects of winding up as a leader in the Textile World. Almonte Harrison Fairbanks Rams, 3. Textile Show, 1. Almonte Harrison Fairbanks is no relation of former Vice-President Fair- banks as you might think, but is a native of Wakefield, a town you might notice on your way to Boston if you go by trolley and keep 3 ' our eyes open. Harrison is a member of the Wool Class and hopes to know enough on graduating to find something to do. Is a quiet fellow around school, but at home we hear they think he is quite the thing. William Gladstone Ferguson Fergie Little Umps, 3. Textile Show, 1. State of Maine Club. Assistant in Design Department. Fergie is only a child, not yet being able to vote, but you ' d never believe it to look at him. He has the mature and finished air of an inn-keeper, added to which is his cowlick pompa- dour. He spent his early years in advertising Force in Providence, where he met his affinity. His enter- tainment to this fortunate } r oung lady on her frequent visits to Lowell, was the rendering of the sweet little song-- let, The Sea is My Sweetheart. Though it sounded like the rehearsal of some trained seal, still it made Fergie happy and proved to himself how much better a singer he was than Caruso. 37 PIGKOUT 1909 Starr Hollinger Fiske Starr Rams, 3. Basketball, 1. Starr after graduatingfromEast Boston High where he captured all the honors, entered the Wool Dept where he is still the shining - star. He is a good basketball player, but was unfortunate to dislocate his shoul- der while a member of the varsity team, his Freshman year. Is quite a man for the ladies, and his enjoyment is supreme when doing - the barn dance. Is a wonder at Mill Engineering, and expects to eventually build a mill fmm his numerous problems in that sub- ject. Robert Calvin Gray Bob Little Umps, 2, 3 Bob is another one of the unfor- tunates hailing from Lawrence. Came to Textile with the intention of tak- ing the regular design course, but in order to get more decorative art, de- cided to specialize. Has many speci- mens of his works in paints adorning the walls of the art room. Believes in high light and ' low dark if they are at % intensity. Is a baseball sport and hopes to see the day when Law- rence wins the pennant. Arne Kolthoff Gyzander Gyz C9C. Alembic, 2, 3. Secretary-Treasurer Alembic, 3. Textile Show, 1. Arne Kolthoff Gyzander is the name that will hereafter appear on all ex- plosive articles. Gyz began the making of explosives his Freshman year, and one day nearly exterminated the whole class. His new compound known as Rednazj ' gffobtlokenra has already been accepted by the U. S. Government, and is extensively used whenever Uncle Sam wishes to change the location of a mountain. His home is in Wilmington, and at present he is interested in microscopic work and hopes after a time to be able to locate his native place on the map. Is some- what of a ball player and has made the Senior team, — which speaks for it- self. 38 PICKOUT 1909 Francis Crawford Holden A K 3 ' ' Chick C9C. Alembic, 2, 3. Secretary-Treasurer Alembic, 2 Baseball, 1, 2. Basketball, 1, 2, 3. Captain Basketball, 3. Class Secretary-Treasurer, 2. Lawrence, with her accustomed loyalty to Textile, exported another one of her promising - sons, in the per- son of Chick. Favored with an A donis- like profile, and a good set of teeth, he has become a leading - factor in chemi- cal affairs, and is seriously consider- ing-filling 1 the vacant chair of Handi- capped Inorganic Chemistry. In one of his many interesting 1 researches, he discovered that Lydia Pinkham ' s Compound containsonly 98 562 percent of alcohol instead of 98.62 per cent as Mr. Hadley claimed. Harry Pearson Kay o n Rams, 3. Textile Show, 1. State of Maine Club. Harry hails from Oxford, Maine where he first got his experience in his chosen work. Entered the Wool De partment and can now tell wool from cotton if samples are labeled. Was very fond of the ladies? at first, but has now settled down. Since coming to Lowell he has learned the art of dancing-, and is often seen tripping the light fantastics. Is a clever boxer and delights in putting- the gloves on with anyone. Expect after gradua- tion to run a mill. James Knowlton Laughlin o n Jim Little Umps, 2. 3. State of Maine Club. Assistant Manager Ba ketball Team, 2. Manager Basketball Team, 3. Business Manager 1908 Pickout. Business Manager 1909 Pickout. East Greenwich lost somewhat of a pillar in public affairs when Jim left to enroll as a Textile aspirant. He has shouldered some weighty respon- sibilities, in class affairs, athletics and on our annual publications, all of which bid fair towards his success as a manufacturer of corsets and pen- wipers. He neither smokes, chews, nor drinks, and has a wide claim in filling the bill as chaplain atour mass- meetings. 39 PICKOUT 1909 Alfred Sandel Levi Kid Leaf Alembic, 2, 3. School Orchestra, 1, 2, 3. Leader Orchestra, 2, 3. Musical Director Tex Show, Soloist Textile Show, 1, 3. Kid Leaf of New Yoik is an elated possessor of a biography that would shame Bos well ' s u Johnson. We can forgive him for pouring - the exquisite torture into us with his Sonata in X by Herr Nuh Nuh on the violin, but when it comes to riding 1 a ' horse while he himself is at- tired in blue gloves, red sweater, yel- low leggins and a red nose, it is beyond redemption. Irreparable also was his breach of logic in walking from Lowell to Boston to save fifty cents. Fred McCarthy Mac C 9 C. Alembic, 3. McCarthy can show you his plati- num medal, awarded for being the healthiest looking- product of Rum- maged Oats nutrition, at Haver- hill ' s annual fair. He has a notice- ably good assemblage of facial features, and gave Bill Boyd a hard run in the handsomest man in the class contest. He likewise is a chem- ist, in which capacity he hopes to land a good job as head brew-master in a liquidillery of a dry town. John Ross MacPherson Mac Alembic, 3. Mac has experienced rather a balk- ing career in the Falmouth Street laboratories, causing Prof. Olney to wonder at his discoveries. He proved that chemistry was a science, and that King Rameses XIII, was the first utilizer of carbon bisulphide as a fertilizer of horse-raddish. If Mac could run faster, he would be quite a sprinter, but his legs alwaj ' S seem perplexed as to whether tbey are for carrying him safely past the tape, or to serve as a ballast on his ham slides. 40 PICKOUT 1909 Arthur Thomas Mullen A K 3 Art Rams. Class President, 3. Textile Show, 1-3. Manager Football Team, 3. Pickout Board, 2. Abdicating - his regency in Dorches- ter, Mull journeyed to Lowell, and by some inexplicable coincidence fell in the tentacles of the Textile octopus. With his natural versatility he has acquitted himself satisfactorily as a scholar, fusser, and a man with untir- ing ' school spirit. Through Mull, Diabola has been placed on a firm footing - in Textile sports, and he has been delegated as representative to the National Diabola Conference to be held at the Hague, in the fall of 1923. J. Douglas Newall C 9 C. Alembic, 2, 3. Football Team, 1-3. D. Douggy DouglasNewall is a man for a ' that even if he does hail from Lawrence. As a shoddy dyer he is a prodigy, and advocates the use of Slow Cotton Colors for all blondes. He is a sprinter of note and gave Hayes much trouble in the Olympic Mara- thon. Douggy may be a lady ' s man, but confines such evidences to Pelham and Osltosh Hamlet. With all his drawbacks, he shows sound metal, and we expect to hear good reports of him later on. William Lawton Parkis A K 3 Bill Cotton Club. Textile Show, 1. Pickout Board, 3. Football Team, 2. Pres. Athletic Association, 3. Assistant Business Manager Tex Show, 3. Whitinsville coughed up a conglom- erated articlein the guiseof Bill Parkis Since his debut at Textile he has been a very versatile man, easily adapting himself to studious as well as social environments. He has a hobb3 r for assuming many aliases for fussing purposes, and is well known among the coquettish circle as Bill Stevens. Withal, he is a conscientious plugger, and possesses the true qual- ities of a leader, as has been shown by the many executive responsibilities that have been entrusted to him. He is a busy man, and hard to see; even Steve Smith wonders when Bill ap- pears in cotton quiz or lab. 41 PICKOUT 1909 Chester Chapin Pease Chester Chapin Pease came to Tex- tile after being so unfortunate in hav- ing- to attend the Lowell High School. Chester takes more interest in his studies than in school affairs, although we did see him at one athletic contest long - ago. On one occasion was heard to remark that he would walk miles to see a track meet. Chester did make his letter at High School, and can do nine feet in the pole vault. Is taking the Cotton Course and hopes to vault directly into an agent ' s job. Carl Howard Potter o n Pot President Cotton Club. Textile Show, 1. Football Team, 2. Assistant in Mechanical and Electrical Department. Carl left the farm in Ludlow, Mass., after graduating from the Ludlow High School, the onlymale representa- tive of a class of six, and entered the Cotton Department. Besidesknowing cotton thoroughly, he can tell you the name of every girl in Lowell. Is at present making frequent trips to Ayer on Sunday afternoons. One would not recognize him today as the bashful young fellow who entered Textile in the tall of 1906. Is an exceptionally good student and has lots of common sense. Walker Flanders Prescott o n Prexy C 9 C. Alembic, 3. Class President, 2. Assistant Manager Baseball Team, 2. Manager Baseball Team, 3. Football, 1, 2, 3. Captain Football Team, 3. Athletic Council, 2, 3. Walker came to Textile after spend- ing one year at Worcester Tech where he made quite a name for himself, and entered the Chemistry Course. Most of his time in the Chem. Lab. is spent in general rough housing which has earned for him the office of general roughhouser ' ' 1 of the C9C. He has taken an active part in schnnl athletics and at present is very much interested in the running time of the We tford Street cars. Has lost the last car several times, and was caught one night after oneo ' clock coming upstairs to his room with his shoes in his hand. His one ambition is to be a chemist. 42 PICKOTJT 1909 Waldo Harvey Sanborn Sandy C 9 C. Alembic, 2, 3. Vice-President Alembic, 3. Lawrence again! In a Stanley- Steamer Sandy motored to town, and has not done much else since but motor. Is a quiet lad, with a temper of his own, and does not hesitate to say what he means. His great superfluity of flesh has been a hinderance to him, and he vies with Cherub for fat man ' s honors. Is a clever entertainer and is received by Lowell ' s best. He pur- sues the chemistry course two or three days a week, and on the other days he recuperates. He is a great penitent, particularly after a select party or a leap year proposal. Harold Fairbairn Saunders Claude Alembic, 2, 3. When Saunders left Andover to en- roll at Textile, the 400 of that town began to mourn their loss, as it is said that Hal cuts quite a dash among the 3 ' ounger set. To alleviate the sorrow thus caused, he decided to travel back and forlh, and for three years has been a passenger on the accommodation train running between Andover and Lowell. Hal is a good student and already has accepted a job in Lawrence. The fellers took him to a dance at Prescott Hall one night and it is said he met his affinity there. Harry Monroe Smith o n Nip Kipper C 9 C. Alembic, 3. Textile Show, 1. Class Secretary-Treasurer, 1. Ass ' t Manager Football Team, 2. Nipper is a very quiet chap, but when he does speak we warn you to take care, as he always says what he thinks. Was brought up in New Hartford, Conn., and attended the Steam ' s School for Children at Hartford. Is taking the Chemistry Course at Textile, besides specializing in mechanism. His favorite expres- sion is Fix it up for me. Nip is an enthusiast in automobiling and may change his mind and become a chauffeur. 43 PICKOTJT 1909 Ira Aaron Stone A K 3 Stoney C 9C. Alembic, 2, 3. Textile Show, 1, 3, Mandolin Club, 1, 3. Pickout Board, 2. One day, over a score years ago, Revere increased her population by a unit bearing - the handle of Ira Aaron Stone. A rolling- Stone gathers no moss, and accord ingiy Ira rolled to Textile devoid of any presence of moss. He has created somewhat of a social sensation in theconzy world, and may be surnamed the Father of the Art. In appreciation for his personal ex- cellence in athletics in general, Stony awarded himself his class numerals, which he is always proudly wont to display. All hail Ira! Frank Dan ' lReginald Valpey Valp This scion of Lawrence ' s select is a good ciimmuter,even tho seldom heard from. He is a steady plugger, and has a good head. Being a loyal cohort to the smoking-room cavalcade, he has acquired quite a reputation as a ping-pong expert. His latest work in engineeringwasto utilize candle power to drive our new Corliss Engine. Marcus Bernard Webber A K $ Bunnie Textile Show, 1. This handsome chap donned knick- erbockers at Medford, Mass , where he engineered quite a lucrative egg route. Webber is now classified as a Textile engineer, and is constantly searching the barometer for his degree as such. He is a good fellow, with high scruples, and was seen fit to be endowed with the class vice-presidenc} ' . 44 PICKOUT 1909 Charles Asa Westcott o n Cherub Cotton Club. Class Secretary, 3. By reason of his exceeding 1 bulk and delicacy, he has been dubbed ' Cherub. The name fits him well, as he flutters about as lightly and sprightly as a winged cherubim. When he is not sleeping, he is always awake, and is a very promising mule spinner. He is always jolly, sincere and businesslike, and is judged among the most popular men of the class. Hailing from Brown Universit} ' , he has established some corking college precedents at Textile, and will always be remembered as her staunch friend. J. Carleton Wood J. C. Juicy C 9 C. Alembic, 3. School Orchestra. 3. After deciding to give up the desire to manufacture shoes, J. C. took the trolleys one September morn and enrolled at Textile, and therefore shoes are still being m an uf actu red and not grown, at Haverhill. But wait! Juicy is deeply interested in bleaching machines and has taken that subject as his graduation thesis, at which time he may tell us of his wonderful discoveries and how it is thatin one hour he has bleached and brought to color again the hair of several of his lady friends. He has rilled the position of drummer in our orchestra and Haverhill ' s brass band. Had one good meal once in his life at the C9C banquet and is still talking about it. 45 it?gtet?r rxi tty (Ela00 xi Name Course Boyd, William, A K $ II Brain ekd, Arthur Travena, $ IV Bunce, Raymond Hamer, AK $ Sp.III Burns, William McGavin IV Coburn, Clarence Elliott, I COLLINGWOOD, HlTESTON, $ Sp.III Conant, Harold Wright I Fairbanks, Almonte Harrison II Ferguson, William Gladstone III Fiske, Starr Hollinger II Fitzpatrick, William Joseph, VI Gray, Robert Calvin Sp.III Gyzander, Arne Kolthoff IV Holden, Francis Crawford, A K IV Huising, Geronimo Huerva VI Kay, Harry Pearson, O LT II Laughlin, James Knowlton, O LT III Levi, Alfred Sandel IV Mason, Archibald Lee VI MacPherson, John Ross IV McCarthy, Frederick Gregory IV Mullen, Arthur Thomas, A K $ II Newall, J.

Gale President Vice-Presiden I Secretaiy and Treasurer Athletic Council 50 FICKOTJT 1909 A (ftt}nmtrl? of % (ttlnzz of Ntetern The frogs croaked, the crickets chirped, and the heifers bleated timorously about the station as a shrill whistle anticipated the arrival of the 10.37 from Boston. The bewhiskered B. M. attachees stretched their sinews and emerged stealthfully from their summer cocoons, prepared for the pendent onsla ught; for Textile was to renew disturbances on the morrow. Cog Welsh manipulating ' four portmaneaus, two satchels, and a dismal countenance, was the first significant quantity to fall off the train. Close on his heels were Morton and Duval, the Gold Dust inseparables, each lugging seven pillow cushions in his arms. Another roar mercilessly racked the tranquility of the scene, and this subsequently proved to be Honk-Honk Putnam, nasaling his joyous greetings with his wonted grunts. An irrideseent glow claimed our attention, and we soon found that it emanated from Phosphorescent Bragg, who was doing the long lost brother act with Pedro Arient. Warp Jelleme, with his usual silence and unpretentiousness, managed to slip past us unseen. But we heard sufficiently of, from, and by him, later on. The bright looks, which had graced the features of the prodigal sons, soon faded away (as regular designers fade to specials) as the depressing pall of Lowell fell o ' er them. The group began to scatter. Some to locate the suites of hall rooms in which they were to hang their hats during the dawning year; others wended their way to the Richardson and the Waverly to renew old acquaintances and inebriations. 51 PICKOUT 19Q9 A few, wishing to relieve themselves of a surplus of the filthy lucre, or being unable to navigate with their baggage encumbrances, hired some of the primitive vehicles, about which the cobwebs had formed unmolestingly during the vacation, to lug them to their respectice hangouts. The excitement and inevitable roundups attendant upon the beginning of a new year were gradually subdued, and minds turned toward more material affairs. The first legal matter scheduled for consideration was the reception to the Freshmen larvae. An irresistible invitation was extended for them to meet at Scharf ' s Licensed Canned Victual Emporium, on the evening of Monday, Oc- tober 31st. Here ensued the usual round of pleasures, so successfully man- aged by Socks Watsing, Jersey Mike, Waldo Harvey, Kid Leveticus, and Deacon Howe. The first impression absorbed by our dormant faculties as we crossed the bridge the next morning, was the radical change that had taken place in the vicinity of the school. The old stone-crusher, the scene of the recent bloody chaos, during the feast of love of 1909 vs. 1910, had evaporated, and in its place there now appeared a verdant expanse of sod and symmetrically arranged glacial deposits. Inspired rapturously by these seismographic revelations, we sauntered wontedly within the cheering walls of the Labyrinth of Eames and duly ar- ranged for the schedules supposed to be adhered to during the year. At Ump ' s first roll-call, we were disappointed not to hear the responses of Spike Gonnam and Ross Hall. Red Lewis, likewise, failed to vociferate his melodious grunt. We missed Eveleth, our faithful Freshman standby, but Stebbins chivalrously volunteered to succeed him in his stick-to-it-ive ec- centricity. Further international complications between Japan and Greece were avoided by the non-appearance of Socrates Anagnos. This « orthy Spartan, as we later discovered, was utilizing his precious time as local correspondent for the Hellenic Bugle of Philadelphia. ' ' The only superior to the graces of woman is woman herself. ' ' So thought irresistible Watson as he focused his optics upon the fair Coed. In fact, the unanticipated presence of this damsel caused considerable subse- 52 PICKOTJT 1909 quent excitement, and the High Art Laboratory soon became the cynosure of all idle eyes, much to the delight of Professor Clark. Acclimated duly to the busy atmosphere of the arts and sciences, we were now plodding comfortably on in the steps of our ancestors. Bewhiskered Donovan pulled executive honors, at the class election, with Brady, the Albany sleuth, as running mate. Nota Bene Reed was unanimously victimized as bursar and ink-slinger for the class, Runt Gale, with stunted forbodings, was garbed as representative to the Athletic Council. With this incongruous quartette, we were piloted serenely o ' er the turbu- lent crests of the waves of worrying over recitations and exams. With due apologies for mention in the 190S Pickout of Cog Welch ' s sad addiction toward tales of perceptible spice, we feel duty-bound to say that his outfit this year is entirely open to inspection and warranting no further objections. Jell, too, has undergone a material evolution. It smokes now; fusses semi-occasionally, and gives vent, when annoyed, to some euphonic monosylla- bic exclamations, the recounting of which ' twere better, much, to be left un- said. He is gradually moulding himself into a self-made, please note, self- made, type of a real college cutup, the kind Hart-Schaft ' ner and Marx; Kup- penheimer, or Peter Newell, so aptly portray. A. D. T. Leek, in conscientiously endeavoring to aid Kono in lending an oriental aspect to the class, relieved his troubled bumps of phrenology of whatever surplus of hair existed thereon. Elated at the success of the firsl harvest, he repeated the act several times, but when the fuzz began to respond to his strenuous manipulation, he, perforce, sank nine cents in a cap of no mean size, and, presto change, became a very clever embodiment of one of Pelham ' s agricultural sons. Lack of space prevents our citing more instances of individual excellence and attainments on the part of men equally as prominent as those mentioned above, but it can be safely said that the men of 1910 have contributed their full share toward the development of e very phase of the good spirit desirable at Textile. In scholarship the men have continued their creditable records of last year; in athletics they have been equally prominent and have done their share toward reinstating the old-time prestige of our school. 1910 extends her hearty well-wishes to the other classes and solicits their co-operation toward placing our Alma Mater on as high a plain, from every standpoint, as it is possible to achieve. 53 PICKOUT 1909 SUgteter of % (Ekes nf IV II II IV Sp.III VI II Sp.III Name Anderson, William Arienti, Peter Joseph Bean, Arthur Edward Blaikie, Howard Mills, $ Brady, John Thomas, Jr., AK$ Bragg, Harold Neil Canty, Timothy Andrew, A K Cary, Julian Clinton, O n Clark, Thomas Talbot, O n Deely, John Alfred Donovan, Michael Rickard, Jr. A K J III Duval, Joseph Edward, AK f II Finlay, Harry Frank IV Fletcher, Roland Hartwell VI Gale, Harry Laburton, O n III Goldberg, George VI Hale, Elliott Kidder, AK Sp.III Hardy, Philip Lewis, O n VI Howe, Woodbury Kendall, i I HURTADO, L EOPOLDO, Jr. VI Jeffrey, William Gardner Sp.III Jelleme, William Oscar, O n I Keough, Wesley Lincoln II Kono, Hidesaburo I Lamb, Arthur Franklin, O n II Leck, Arthur James Sp.III Manning, Frederick DaviDj A K IV Course School Last Attended VI Punchard High IV Searles High, Great Barrington Haverhill High Medford High Albany High Medway High Reading High Lowell High Harvard College St. Joseph ' s School, Pittsfield Lynn Classical High Boston Latin Lawrence High Littleton High Maiden High English High, Boston Lawrence High Punchard High Worcester Polytechnic Institute Swarthinore Preparatory School Reading High Passaic High Winthrop High Keio-gijuku University, Japan Rockland High Lawrence High Fitchburg High 54 PICKOUT 1909 Nmrt£?n Ifmtftrrt attfc uten Home Address 52 High St., Andover, Mass. 104 Van Duesenville Road, Great Barring-ton, Mass. 53 Grove St., Haverhill, Mass.

' ' Inevitably these verdant gentlemen came, but by a series-connection of diplomatic methods for their rapid disposition they soon fell in the rank and file of the Ancient Order of Pluggers, Cribbers and Flunkers. They were a presentable lot withal and eventually produced some excellent material. A ve ry noticeable feature of the class was its cosmopolitanism. With a more or less national representation the class assembly compelled one ' s imag- ination to stretch almost to the extent of a young Hague conference. Lowell led, as far as the foreign places were concerned, but Lawrence is rightly due second consideration. Signor Emilio Judaspriest Gonzales hails from the P. I. (per cata- logue) but this does not stand for petty insignificance, it means the Philip- pine Islands if you please. Mr. Gonzales is quite a material factor in freshmen affairs, by reason of his irresistable serenades and keen susceptability to the fair sex. Baltimore too sent her envoy, in the person of Jim Hundley. His consul- ate is situated at various quarters in town, depending upon which of the many fair belles on his list he accompanies home in an official capacity. Jim has tendered several splendid diplomatic functions during the current sea- son in the way of balls, entertainments or free meal ticket parties, and their splendor shall long be remembered. The wilds of Passaic, New Jersey, delegated Nighty Outwater to us, and said delegation is satisfactory in every sense of the word. Of course Onty has 61 PICKOUT 19Q9 several marked eccentricities, but these are in all probability due to tbe poetic inspirations born in New Jersey, but in general he has proven a fair lad, with a bunch of bright prospects, particularly as class valedictorian. For a while he was sadly co-edieally irrational, but father-in-law Time soon remedied his affliction. The surprising aptness of the 1911 ' s in accustoming themselves to their social environments was particularly well shown by their later prominence in the fussing world. Here, Proboscis Goodwin and Tracy Afterward Adams ran a close race for first honors, Cap finishing with three dates to the good. The class was duly initiated into the secrets of the Dutch Tank Room down town, where they set a pace which as yet remains unsurpassed. After the faculty proved agreeable to Hank Harrison, Admiral Dewey, New Mown Hay, and their squad of valiant cohorts, regular activities soon commenced, and, for the present at least, calm reigns. Apology is due to 1911 for their not being greeted with brass bands and all the attendant array, and also for not having been offered a curriculum with more courses of leisure and Mechanism, but we feel that when the class be- comes fully broken in to the compulsive state of affairs, they will with their latent talent, (some of which has already been discovered scholastically and athletically) pursue their courses as pleasantly as did their predecessors. The responsible duties of class sovereignty were discreetly bestowed upon Henry Haines Harrison as president ; James A. Middleton as Vice-President ; Gordon Mudge as Secretary and Treasurer, and Maurice W. Dewey as repre- sentative to the Athletic Council. There are some daring bolds amongst this rank of first years, who ex- hibited said good quality by the clever manner in which they painted their class numerals on the awe-inspiring cascades along the roaring Merrimack. These brazen inscriptions stand out boldly, defying destruction by Sophomore or the elements, and from present indications, shall remain there for some time to proclaim the unmolested prestige of the class of 1911. 62 PICKOTJT 1909 One of the best instances in which the 1911 metal was manifested, was during- the first annual Upstream day. Although both the class of 1909 and 1910 entertained hopes of enjoying the highest class honors in the field events, and contributed their best material toward the accomplishment of this end, yet their anticipations were shattered and almost every place was awarded to a 1911 man. We expect great things from you, 1911, and wish you untold success upon your entrance into the Textile world and Textile School. 63 PICKOUT 1909 jRegfefrr xi t t (Hitxw of Name Course Adams, Tracy Addison IV Anagnos, Demetrius I Bailey, Carl Eugene, • Sp Bailey, Walter James IV Burke, John William IV Burnham, George Webster Sp.IIIb Cameron, Elliott Francis Chandler, Proctor Ralph Cheney, Henry Stanley, A K Chisholm, Lester Bury Chow, Chun Kam Connelly, Charles F.

In the man you will find hope, belief, enthusiasm, and persistency. In the idea you will find— honesty. Otherwise, the venture must prove to be a failure. Some writer has so finely expressed the elements which combine together to make success that it may not be out of place to repeat them here as we view with thoughtful eye the career of this institution of ours. All the elements summed up here were present when the idea of a Textile school in Lowell was conceived, and they have been constantly in evidence during its progress. They not only organized the school itself but they selected and purchased its site, built the buildings, and accumulated the equipment and funds to carry on its work. Within the student body can be found the same elements but associated with different individuals. The same forces have organized the Alumni, the athletics, the fraternities, the societies, the Textile Show, the Upstream Day, and the Pickout. All of these movements are bound to live and grow if each has the elements which we have cited above as prerequisite. Let every new movement or institution established here within our do- main have these commendable qualities and we may have little fear concern- ing its value and life. CHARLES H.

Price Morris ' 11 Assistant Business Manager Arthur Franklin Lamb ' 10 89 EDITORIAL Here ' s to good old Textile, drink lier down— drink her down ' - ' — There may be some question as to what we should drink in ' ! drinking her down, ' ' but assuming the beverage to be harmless, it must fill a Textile man with pride to propose a toast to his Alma Mater. When we realize the phenomenal growth of our institution from its in- fancy twelve years ago up to its splendid state, our pride leaps turbulantly, and we feel honored to be ranked among its beneficiaries. Our alumni have all creditably applied their valuable training received here, and are rapidly becoming leaders in the great Textile Industry. Our student body is growing; our corps of instructors is being increased; our buildings are being extended ; in a word, everything is being done that would indicate a constant growth and development of the Textile School. This growth cannot come without reasonable provocation . What is it? It is simply that each year, stronger and stronger, our influence is growing; the Textile School is constantly raising her rank among the technological in- stitutions of our country, and if each man resolves, in his due turn, to live up to the wishes of our directorate; to the great objects promulgated in our prospectus circulated so widely, then Textile will be classed as first among the world ' s Textile Institutions. SELF-HELP. To the uninitiated, there seems, upon a slight consideration, little or no opportunity for a Textile student to earn part of the way through his course. 90 PIOKOUT 1909 Now this is absolutely wrong, and as our growth continues so rapidly, this theory is sort of rotting away like the tail on a pollywog. Each day is bringing forth its new Held for self-help. It would he almost an insuperable proposition for a fellow to come here without any capital at all, however, if he can possibly see his first year through all right, and pos- sesses any amount i I ' energy and ability, he can, after that, hit upon more ways than one to effect a very satisfying pecuniary return. At the present lime, there are a score id ' fellows who are making money, and no small amounts cither. Five or six are earning one-half of their tuition as assistants to the instructors at night school; some of them also utilizing their spare hours during the afternoons to the same end- Others have secured agencies from firms manufacturing college novelties, as pennants, jewelry, pipes, etc., and are profitably netting a goodly per cent. Others still have obtained employment for Saturdays as clerks in our best stores, for which they receive an amount adequate to me d their small personal expenses. These examples illustrate forcibly that, though we have not as large a student body as some contemporary institutions, yet there exist many ways in which a fellow can help himself materially. This is not a school of snobs, nor particularly an institution for the gilded sons of the rich. Contrarily, it is a democratic school, dominated always by a spirit of equality and good fellowship. Every man ' s work, be it in a department stcre, at school, or in a boarding- house, is viewed honorably, and as long as this commendable feeling pervades, it is up to every needy fel- low to open up his eyes, seek his opportunity, and make the most of it. FRATERNITiKS. True fraternal spirit is a feeling that is rapidly and creditably being instilled in every fraternity man at Textile. Now, more than ever, the prime qualification for fraternity membership is, — Is he sterling, — will he make good, and acquit himself generally to the credit of his school and fraternity? You may have heard, time and time again, of, a fellow, in some institution or other, being received with open 91 PICKOTJT 1909 arms; entertained royally upon his entrance, and bid into a select Greek letter organization, all because he can kill the 100 yd. in ten flat; or has two hundred pounds of football avoirdupois to his credit, or because he draws a tempting ' allowance of three thousand cold bones per annum Such a prac- tice is never commendable, and aside from the possibility of a grievous error in judging the, man, it is bound to lower the dignity of the organization. At Textile, however, fraternal matters are finely managed. True, good men are rushed somewhat by all the fraternities in their separate endeavor to land the best men, but little or no indiscriminate pledging exists. At pres- ent, as foregoing statistics verify, the fraternity element represents as good a class of men as there are here. Of course there are some ringing good men who are not in a society, but as a general rule, those who are, stand for all that is embodied in the high ideals of scholarship, honor and true-blooded sportsmanship. There may be reasonable grounds for the abolition of fraternities in other colleges, but here at Textile, where all fraternity transactions are un- questionable, it may be said that the Phi Psi, Omicron Pi, and Delta Kappa Phi fraternities wield an all-powerful influence toward the social, educa- tional, and moral welfare of their Alma Mater. ALUMNI ADMINISTRATION. The administration of the school to be eventually vested in the hands of the Alumni is the subject copiously and sensibly treated in a previous article by Mr. James T. Smith. The main contention of Mr. Smith ' s paper should be weighed well by every student and alumnus. At present, the alumni are in the minority on our Board of Trustees, and rightly too, since they received their sheep-skin scarcely more than ten years ago, but in years to come, when the number of our alumni has grown, and our men have become leaders in the textile world, it is fitting that they should comprise our Board of Trustees, and enact meas- ures for the good of Textile. By that time they will have realized whatever features are necessary in the administration by reason of having personally experienced their influence. It stands to reason that an alumnus will hold the 92 PICKOUT 1909 interests of his Alma Mater dear, and do all in his power to improve them. The time is not yet ripe, hnt it will not he long before our graduates will be our administrators. The time honored Class Rush, that occ urred a year ago, and, on a ' THE RUSH ' smaller scale, this year, is constantly coming more into popular favor. This feature, though it may be, and is, often abused, has its good points. It fur- nishes good occasion for class spirit; for unity, and for acting methodically. As long as everything savoring of trickery and personal grievances is sub- dued, these rushes tend forcibly toward showing the worth of a man. It is an incentive to assert your cherished class rights, however unreasonable they may appear to either faction. It develops the qualities of precision, S; O2 and loyalty. As long as these pseudo-controversies are settled in a sportsman-like man- ner, without resulting in the damage of property or physical injury, they are to be encouraged. A FOUR YEAR COURSE We are taking big steps towards reasonablizing the work at Textile. Prominently among the methods resorted to, figure the extension of our floor space ; additions to our corps of instructors and the installation of a new machine department. The next move, which must come sooner or later, is the extending our courses from three to four 3 7 ears. Three years is not enough. In this comparatively short time, justice cannot be done to all the studies supplement toward rounding out a thorough textile man. By allowing four years, we could enjoy the performing of actual experiments and copious tests. The faculty and instructors are doing wonderfully well under the circum- stances, but they could do much more if their time was not so limited, and they were not troubled by the possibility of not completing a subject in the short time allowed. Other technological institutes appreciate the necessity for a four years ' course, and there is no reason why our courses here, which are just as difficult, if not more so in certain cases, should not be of similar length. 93 THE NEW MACHINE DEPARTMENT Mortal Stents PICKOUT 1909 Hamuli Settle rijanl Alumni Aasariatum ©rgantsra at tljr lanqutt of ffllaas nf 1900 W.

It should not he assumed that an Alumnus severs his connection with the School when he receives his diploma or future degree. I like to consider him a life post-graduate, still tied to his mother ' s apron string. The faculty and instruction corps generally are expected to be progressive, to keep in- formed as to improved methods and processes of the great textile and ma- chine industries (for the management does not propose to accumulate in- struction personelle with simply staying power until chloroformed or pensioned) and the Alumni will find it profitable therefore to keep closely in touch with the School as it continues to develop in usefulness. In actual manufacture many problems will be met, in the solution of which the in- struction corps can efficiently aid. Such aid should continue to be confidently invoked ; it will be freely and gladly given. On the other hand, as the Alumni take on higher responsibilities and wider experience, they may reverse the relation, becoming instructors of the instructors, broadening the curriculum and improving school methods. An Alumnus is, specifically, a graduate of a school, seminary, college or university, ' ' but the title is a derivative of a Latin root, the English equiv- alent of which is nourish, nurse, foster, and this equivalent indicates the relation the Alumni should assume and retain to their Alma Mater. And what of the Fraternity 1 ? Are they a menace to the welfare of the school, tending to disintegration? Not necessarily. The proper sphere of fraternities is social. They are humanizing and delightful when composed of congenial spirits. Here personal life friendships are formed, and as they 102 PICKOTJT 1906 reach out into numerous chapters they broaden one ' s acquaintance and be- come a valuable asset in life. There are, however, in all walks of life, those who seek such associations to serve seltish, mercenary, ambitious ends, and un- der the cover of assumed good-fellowship, of voluntary official service, they deceive the very elect. To managers of ancient educational institutions of world-wide repute the apparently disintegrating ' influence of fraternities and other school associations has been a source of anxiety, and they, by forming unions where all meet on a common level, or inciting the alumni as a body to greater activity, have sought to counteract this influence. Possibly their fears have been largely academic. The great Greek Letter fraternities have their chapters in all colleges and universities and their members in all walks of life. They have passed through the same experiences your new and local fraternities are now pass- ing, and each chapter and member has come to feel that the honor of his fra- ternity is in his keeping. This has a salutary influence on all to keep the badge untarnished. This outside influence your local f raternities cannot yet feel and it becomes, therefore, more important that you rigidly guard your doors and do not over-step the legitimate limits of fraternity work and in- fluence. The active influence of your fraternities would be disastrous to the growth and influence of the school, if exerted to magnify the importance of one department at the expense of another, in awarding athletic prizes, in marking standards of scholarship, or in the election of graduate trustees. In the latter case it would be fatal to further representation in the Board of Trustees. That the Alumni is fine, staunch in its fealty to the school, is daily in evi- dence. As class after class goes out ever the members find the kindly hand of those who have gone before held out to aid them in beginning a career. To the creditable record the Alumni are making in industrial and commercial life is mainly due the phenomenal growth of the school roster. Attachment to one ' s native or adopted town, city or state is natural, praiseworthy, but it is to one ' s country that one offers his life if need be when enemies threaten. It is Old Glory that stirs the deepest springs of patriotism. So you may enjoy the society of your fraters, their presumably hair-raising, blood-curd- ling mysteries, charming co-ed assemblies, etc., but let the colors of your Alma 103 PICKOUT 1909 Mater be your Old Glory and the solid body of the Alumni its staunch and faithful color-guard. The scope and character of the school is now fully established. The road of development from humblest beginnings to its present position and importance, when the press unsolicited and unpaid pronounce it to be the finest school in the world for the leading industries it caters to, has been no Lover ' s Lane, but, on the contrary, a rugged way with at times almost in- surmountable obstacles to overcome. Our rapidly increasing Alumni, going out into industrial and commercial life, has been our forlorn hope and has made good and justified the faith of those charged with the development work. Ever should the memory of Hildreth, Lyon, Lowell, and Covel, be held in reverence by you. To their intelligence, strenuous aid and encouragement are we in large part indebted for our magnificent equipment and ample site. Those who remain, upon whom necessarily the immediate responsibility for the management rests, have grown gray and aged in the service, and in the course of nature you will fall heir to their responsibilities of preserving what has. been achieved, carrying the school colors to higher and still higher heights. With ever increasing numbers, whether charged with the manage- ment or not, your voices will be the most potent in preserving, elevating, and broadening the character and scope of the institution and in insuring it the needed financial support. Grateful for the service it has rendered you, as you undoubtedly are, see to it that it continues to offer like service in the line of its work to the hundreds, yea thousands, who from the humblest youth to the most fortunate would follow your footsteps through its halls and classes.

IfoinieU Settle djnnl Fresh from preparatory school, and, to a large extent, unacquainted with the business world, it is true that but comparatively few of the students at Textile have a very definite idea as to the scope, prospects and opportunities that are offered by the courses they are at present pursuing. Nor is this a fault — it is simply a state of affairs that necessarily exists, and for the good of the present students, as well as prospective ones, the following series of five articles are presented, through the kindness of nieir.bers on our boai ' d of Faculty and Instructors, with the idea of furnishing to all interested, a some- what definite idea of the chances offered by the various fields of industry em- braced in our curriculum. 105 PICKOUT 1909 (Sfcxttl? Spsuju nnh iFabrtc Btvnctnxt The chief aim of the Design Department is to give a general knowledge of the principles of Textile Fabric Construction including Textile Design, Fabric Analysis and Cloth Construction. The Design Course is planned for students desiring to fill the higher po- sitions in textile manufacture. There is always a demand for technical men with a thorough theoretical as well as practical knowledge of all branches of Textile Design. A textile manufacturer or designer should be familiar with the various departments of a mill. For this purpose, the General Design Course has been laid out to include Yarn Preparation with theoretical and practical work in Sorting, Carding and Spinning of wool fibres. Mixing, Picking, Carding, Combing and Spinning of cotton fibres ; Textile Chemistry and Dyeing, a study of the composition of all fibres used in the textile industry, the way in which they are affected by various chemicals, and a practical Course in Elementary Chemistry, Analysis and Textile Dyeing; Finishing Processes required for all varieties of fabrics with practical work in Scouring, Fulling and Finishing; Warp Preparation and Weaving in both Power and Hand Looms; Physics and Physical Measurements in which the more scientific part of Textile Manufac- ture is considered such as yarn testing, strengths of yarns and fabrics and conditioning of yarns ; Mechanics, which enables the student to thoroughly un- derstand, theoretically as well as practically the mechanism of any machine used in the production of yarns or fabrics, and Textile Engineering, which covers the laying out of machines or shafting, the heating and lighting of a mill, or any of the many conditions requiring the services of an efficient en- gineer. In addition to these, the General Design Course includes the Textile De- sign subjects; Textile Design, Fabric Analysis and Cloth Construction. Elementary Textile Design is the study of simple fabrics and their formation from standard weaves such as plain, twills, sateens, ribs, baskets, cut weaves and corkscrews or combinations of two or more classes of weaves. In Advanced Textile Design the student considers the designing and drafting of Backed, Double and Multiple Ply fabrics, Damasks, Fancy ef- fects produced by various forms of drafting, Color Effects and their Analysis, Trouserings, Coatings, Suitings, Blankets, Double Plains, Keversibles, Velvets, Corduroys, Plushes, Leno, Jacquard Designing, Piques, Quiltings and many 106 PICKOUT 1909 other fabrics limited only by the ability of the student. Practical work in the reproduction of these fabrics is given in both Power and Hand Looms. Fabric Analysis deals with the analysis of fabrics studied in Elementary and Advanced Design, the requirements for reconstructing a fabric being- fig- ured from the finished cloth. This branch is largely practical and the stu- dent must be capable of picking out any class of fabric and figure the re- quirements by any of the English yarn standards or by the metric system. In Cloth Construction the student works out the percentages of gain or loss in weight or size of yarns, lengths or widths of fabrics, the loss of ma- terial in the different departments of a mill, viz., spooling, warping, beaming, weaving and finishing. The Cost of Production of a fabric is one of the most important branches of a design office and this is carefully studied in all pos- sible ways by a student in the General Design Course. A Course in Ornamental Art is requisite for students taking Advanced Jacquard Design. This Course includes the study of Ancient and Historic Ornament, Color and Plant Life applied to Textile Designing, fitting the stu- dent for the planning of designs for Tapestries, Hangings. Curtains, Uphols- teries, Carpets or any fabric studied in Advanced Jacquard Design. An option in either Cotton or Woolen and Worsted Spinning is included in the General Design Course. The advantages of a designer are many. He must be familiar with trade conditions and styles. This brings him in close contact with the market through the commission house and salesmen. In addition, his work in the mill creates close relations with the agent and superintendent, making it nec- essary for him to be thoroughly acquainted with the many processes and de- tails required for the manufacture and sale of a finished fabric. He is in a po- sition to obtain valuable information pertaining to both the mill and commer- cial ends of a business. Under these conditions he can make himself a neces- sity for the mill ' s welfare and a factor for promotion when occasion arises. The Design Course aims to fit a graduate for such n responsible position. He is given a complete training in theoretical work which, if applied cor- rectly to the practical work of the mill, must result in his becoming a thor- oughly competent man. FENWICK UMPLEBY. 107 PICKOTJT 1909 (Mp mtBtnj nnb Igrittg When Ave consider that chemistry is fundamentally the study of matter in respect to its composition and properties together with the various phe- nomena which may take place when different kinds of matter are brought into intimate contact with each other, the broad scope of chemistry and its almost unlimited application become obvious. There is no industry but which fundamentally deals with materials, and it is the chemist who must determine the nature of these materials and their suitability for various purposes. The mechanical engineer may build textile machinery, but when he finds that some part of a machine breaks too fre- quently, he turns to the chemist to ascertain the composition of the weak part, and how its strength may be increased by some modification of its constitu- ents. The geologist may discover a large deposit of some metallic ore, and the mining engineer may sink shafts into the earth and bring it to the surface, but it can be of no benefit to industry until the chemist has devised some way by which the metal can be economically extracted. The Electrical Engineer turns to the chemist for the solution of many of his materialistic problems, and electro-chemistry is today one of the leading branches of applied chemistry. The same is true of the civil engineer, for when a concrete or steel structure gives way through weakness, either local or general, the chemist is usually called to ascertain the possible cause. To a well regulated textile plant the chemist or chemically trained dyer is indispensable, if the management would obtain the best and most economical results, and failure to recognize this fact frequently costs a mill, in a week ' s time, an amount equivalent to such a man ' s salary for a whole year. The testing of fuels, oils, soaps, chemicals and dyestuffs will in most cases prove a paying investment, say nothing of the moral effect such a practice has upon the tradesmen who furnish the same, and the frauds which are escaped. 108 PICKOUT 1909 Again the chemi cally trained dyer might often prevent troubles or quickly ascertain the cause of spots, streaks, and unevenness in general, which are the bane of every manufacturer of piece dyed material, and thus prevent enormous financial depreciation from rejected goods and lost sales. The chemist may therefore be styled an engineer of materials, and his domain is unlimited as well as the problems which may be turned over to him for solution. The scope of chemistry is so great and its applications so varied that the thoroughly trained chemist must necessarily be a man of broad understand- ing and keen perception. For this reason it is not infrequently the case that his breadth of training carries him beyond the field of chemistry, and the truth of this statement is well verified by the fact that, during recent years, no less than fifteen men, who were fundamentally trained ss chemists, have been serving as presidents of some of our lai ' gest educational institutions; perhaps three of the best known being Presidents Eliot of Harvard, Remsen of Johns Hopkins and Drown of Lehigh. In a similar manner it is frequently the case that one who has entered a works as chemist, sooner or later becomes superintendent or manager, be- cause his knowledge of materials and his insight into processes have made him the most desirable man for such a position. The personality of the man however must not be overlooked in these cases, and his moral force and train- ing may be an important element in his success as a technical man. It is with these facts in mind that the work of the Chemistry and Dyeing Departments of the Lowell Textile School has been planned and whereas Tex- tile Chemistry and Dyeing is foremost in the general training, pure chemistry is made the foundation of each of the three years ' work and sufficient applied chemistry, of a general character, introduced to give the graduate of good standing sufficient breadth of training to permit of his entering upon almost any line of Industrial Chemical work. L. A. OLNEY. 109 PICKOTJT 1909 culm ffflamtfartw? Within comparatively few years the types of wool used by woolen and worsted manufacturers in this country were entirely different, and the trade names given to each (clothing for woolen and combing or staple for worsted) were supposed to indicate in a general way their fitness for woolen or for worsted fabrics. With the introduction of the so-called ' ' French System ' ' of worsted drawing and its accompanying worsted mule, or ring spinning, and particularly the French comb, worsted yarn manufacturers awakened to the fact that with this system of machinery a worsted yarn could be made from wools which heretofore were thought to be suitable for woolen only, and these yarns (made from clothing wools) were found to be adapted to hosiery, certain kinds of worsted dress goods, and to weave with woolen yarns in what were formerly standard woolens. (Broadcloths are now being made with a French spun worsted warp and an ordinary woolen filling.) The old Rule of thumb method for distinguishing between wools suita- ble for woolen and wools suitable for worsted (as far as length of fiber was concerned), was to measure the staple from the tip of the thumb to the second joint of this member; wools less than this length were clothing and wools of this length or greater were staple. Worsted wools can be and often are used for woolen, but it is only recently that clothing wools have been found to be suitable for certain classes of worsteds when spun in the French system. The Lowell Textile School, ever abreast of the times, has a complete French System, and the students in the Wool Course have a splendid op- portunity to become proficient in dry spun yarns as well as in the older Bradford system or older still Carded mule spun woolen. All the branches of modern wool manufacturing are crying- for trained men, and the supply does not equal the demand. Success in none of these branches depends upon a heaven-sent gift (like a voice for a singer, a sense of rhythm for a musician, or a sense of imagery for a poet, painter or sculptor), but all are dependent upon knowledge, the ability to apply knowledge, hard work and good common sense. 110 FICKOXJT 1.909 The wool manufacturing ' world is willing to pay well for any two of this combination, to pay better for any three, and to pay almost any price for all four. The Wool Course is equipped with everything to supply knowledge, and will undertake to make the student intimately acquainted with hard work; it will develop his judgment, if he has any (it cannot supply it), and will teach him to find the value of the unknown by its relation to the known. The variety of positions held by former Wool men is indicative of the scope of the training. One is a cotton yarn salesman, another is superintendent of a flax mill, another is agent of a men ' s wear woolen and worsted mill; one is styler for a large, worsted dress goods mill (the styling for most northern mills is done in New York, and the styler is the man who finds what the prevailing styles or fashions are likely to be for the season and guides the mill while making them), another is selling agent for several woolen mills; one is de- signer for a large mill making both woolens and worsteds, another is manager of a large Wool Pulling establishment; one is superintendent of a factory making felt for piano hammers, another is applying his training to the manu- facture of jute yarns, and still another to the manufacture of mohair and alpaca. Of the list (given at random and not including the superintendents and assistant superintendents of woolen or worsted yarn or cloth mills) not one re- ceived or holds his position by any pull relationship or influence whatever, but all were willing upon graduation to accept a subordinate position and work up in exactly the same manner as a wise medical student upon graduation will enter a hospital to get experience. EDGAR H. BARKER. Ill PICKOUT 1909 ®lj? Olotton ilnbitatry Before devoting several years of time to the study of any profession or science it is surely wise to weigh with great care the worth of the results which are to be obtained. The same is true of the study of an industry as the study of any business really means the study of the science upon which that business is based whether it is known by the name of science or not. The value of the results to be obtained from any course of study depends directly upon the op- portunity for using the knowledge gained, and it is with the idea of outlining the field of opportunities which is open to students of Cotton Manufacturing that this paper is prepared. The field represented by the Textile industries is of unlimited extent, and that part which is covered by the production, manufacture and distribution of cotton, cotton yarns and fabrics and machinery for manipulating the same is larger and of wider scope than that covered by any other of the textile fibers of commerce. The chief factors in establishing the pre-eminence of cot- ton in the textile industry are the cheapness of the raw material and wide extent of cultivation, the ease with which it is converted into yarns and fab- rics, and its great utility for a wide range of service. Being furnished by Nature, ready for immediate use, and in abundant quantities in nearly all parts of the world suited to its culture, it forms a large item in the commercial intercourse of nations. In an unspun state cotton is used for a great variety of purposes, prominent among which are absorbent cotton for surgical work, cotton batting, etc. Spun into yarn, this material is used for sewing thread of all kinds and sizes, cords and ropes, as insulating material for electric wires, etc. Woven or knitted, and you have all kinds of wearing apparel, sail cloths, belting, fire hose, auto tires and a host of other uses too numerous to mention. No matter what our station in life or where our lot is cast, we are all consumers of cotton in no small quantity. Among 112 PICKOUT 1909 the people of the world who scorn to adorn their persons with more than a single abbreviated garment, cotton is exclusively used. With the spread of civilization and increase of wealth, which will surely be followed by the adop- tion of more clothing and fewer beads, in these as yet semi-civilized portions of the globe the demand for cotton yarns and fabrics will greatly increase. This demand which is being felt even now is due to the cheapness of the raw material and its peculiar adaptability for clothing in warm countries, which facts also insure a continuous and increasing demand from such sources. The cotton industry may be separated into the following divisions: 1 — Cotton Spinning. 2— Cotton Weaving. 3 — Cotton Knitting. 4 — Cotton Merchandizing. 5 — Cotton Machinery Constructing. In each one of these lines of work there is a great demand for trained men; for men who thoroughly understand the details of these various lines of work. The men who at the present time are actively engaged in these lines of work have gained their positions of responsibility only by years of experience. A generation or two hence and these positions will be filled by men who by special training and study have fitted themselves for such work. At the present time the Textile School provides a form of training which makes a long apprenticeship unnecessary and produces a man with some de- gree of skill in the various operations of manufacturing, and what is of more importance, with the ability to solve the new problems that are constantly arising in the industry. STEPHEN E. SMITH. 113 ©rxttl? lEtujinmtng The trained engineer is finding his place today in every sphere of our industrial activities, and the demand upon our technical schools for graduates far exceeds the supply. To meet this widely varied demand there is an increasing tendency in a technical education toward greater specialization. Such special branches as steam turbine engineering, concrete engineering, telephone engineering, and others now offered at many of our leading schools, give the surest evidence of some of the present day requirements. The textile industry demands many thoroughly trained men, and together with its many allied industries, furnishes a particularly fertile field for the engineer. There are few industries where there is a closer relation between economic and efficient production, and the egineering methods for obtain- ing it. Experience shows that to enter the field of this great industry, and com- pete successfully for its higher executive positions, the engineering graduate is handicapped by an utter lack of familiarity with the multiplicity of detail of its various processes and machines. On the other hand the Textile School graduate has often been hindered in his usefulness by insufficient engineering training. The Lowell Textile School was the first to recognize that a proper combi- nation of these two elements would make for greater effectiveness in the stu- dent ' s future work, and the course in Textile Engineering was the result. Some of our best representative textile plants capable of maintaining a force of trained engineers give the best proof of their value, while our most competent mill agents are engineers either by training- or necessity. Problems in mill construction, organization, fire protection and power generation or transmission, are constantly arising for solution, and their correct treatment is often a vital factor in the earning power of the mill. No refinements of spinning or weaving, no excellence of design or char- acter of finish, can completely offset the heavy losses and leaks taking place in many corporations today through inefficient power plants and total disre- gard of many minor economies throughout the mill. Saving at the spigot, and wasting at the bung obtains in many plants largely through ignorance of the actual existing conditions. Men who are thoroughly trained both in the essentials of engineering and have an intimate knowledge of the textile processes, can remedy such conditions, and the training of such engineers should be available at our textile schools if they are to be of the greatest service to the industry. GEORGE H. PERKINS. ' 114 ATHLETICS PICKOUT 1909 Afyleitra In Athletics, the year just closing has been indeed a peculiar one. Al- though our teams in certain branches of sport have not boasted of as many scalps as they should have, nevertheless, there is more genuine athletic ac- tivity now than has ever been manifested before. This impetus may be due largely to the splendid material our last fresh- man class has furnished or to the general realization of our deficiencies; how-, beit, next year promises to be a gala one in every branch of athletics, and we may soon see our own teams rated on a college basis. A professional coach, of which we have been assured, will prove a great factor in football training, and probably in basketball as well. Our game schedules are good, strenuous, and worthy of consideration. Under the guidance of Howard Murphy, ' 11, the moulding of a rowing crew is being keenly expected. The Upstream field day has shown forcibly our ability in field sports, the revival of which should long ago have been started. So, by this general review, it will be plainly seen that there will soon be something doing, in Textile ' s athletics. Lend a hand, everyone of you, in action, spirit and in financial aid, so that when you depart, you can do so feeling satisfied that you were part and parcel in securing the greatest athletic prestige of the Lowell Textile Institute. 116 LTSy ©ffirrrs William Parkis President Marcus B, Webber Vice-President William Boyd .-.-..

Pkescott Old Kitson Campus once again witnessed the passing of another gridiron season. It was truly a season of difficulties, which, though creditably sur- mounted in every instance, still had a disappointing effect upon the final out- come. Obstacles withal, good spirit was shown by almost every man who re- sponded to Captain Prescott ' s early call, and, considering the lack of facilities which presented itself, there is absolutely no ground for talk on the part of the sore head or knock wielder. No matter how keen the spirit or how great the energy, if a team is not systematically or professionally coached, it is bound to fail in meeting the most reasonable requirements. So it was with the team of 190S. With a sorely depleted treasury of the athletic association, the hiring of a coach was out of the question, consequently a strenuous season was entered upon by a team backed by individual endeavor and determination only. Strenuous is the proper term to use in describing the schedule of 190S, for on it were games with institutions widely famed in athletics, and trained by as good a set of coaches as money can procure. And yet many instances occurred during the hard season, in which Textile displayed a surprising amount of pluck and fore- sightedness, and were these re-enforced by professional training there is no doubt whatever that our men would have come out a victorious squad. AYe have some corking material, comprising men capable of delivering the goods, and with this prime asset, we should turn out as fine a team as any institution in our class can produce, and we will. Jt is up to each one of you, you possess the stuff, the grit and perseverance, all of which character- ize the personnel of a good pig-skin manipulator. You will have a coach and a good one, and if you co-operate with him with the same determination that you manifested in facing teams so much -better equipped than yourselves, you can display your T with pride, and truly enjoy the satisfaction of success. 119 „ Football VofW o N$S? ° - M € ' :: - — jggk dm ■ i Rp- . ■ Wm -■ -f - : ' fli feb y Hr _ |H JEafcUB Kgv. ■■.-. ■ a ' ■ =.. _■ ■_ MULLEN, Manager HARRISON JELLEME HUEGIN WHITNEY, Assistant Manager WINSLOW MUDGE DEWEY PRESCOTT, Captain MIDDLETON JEFFERSON MABBETT NEWALL MANNING GALE PICKOUT 1909 JfturtfctU Qfcam, 1900-9 Arthur T.

From last year ' s fast five there was left in school but three B. T. B. men, Bunce, Manning and Holdeu. For his work the previous two years Holden had been chosen Captain of this year ' s team and at the first call for candidates 18 men reported. This number, we are sorry to say, did not remain for practice very long, but slowly dwindled down until at practice it was difficult to maintain a full squad of ten men. Nevertheless, adapting himself to prevailing conditions, Capt. Holden picked out the best men and fast rounded them into shape. The first three games played, Boston College, Mass. Normal Art and Bradford-Durfee Textile School were easy victories for Textile. The 4th game was with Mass. Institute of Technology who had put on the floor this season the best men that ever represented Tech. and a team that had already won from Dartmouth, Harvard and Tufts. The first half ended 14 to 11 in Textile ' s favor. The second half showed the great necessity of training, for the Tech. men came back into the game and seemed to grow stronger each minute of play, while the Textile players gradually became all in . The game ended in favor of Tech., but as one of the kids remarked, Gee! that was a great game, certainly expressed the sentiment of the spectators. The next game with Andover at Andover and Williston Seminary at Easthampton were defeats for Textile. The Andover game was lost on ac- count of being up against a better team ; but in the Williston game the short floor and open baskets proved a barrier to the Textile boys. Boston University came next and was taken into camp in a manner that seemed to bewilder the visitors. The next five games played were defeats for Textile. Worcester Polytech. visited Lowell and went home victorious. Textile then went to Ashburn- ham, and although beaten by Cushing Academy, the game was one of the best played on Cushing ' s floor that season. Mass. Institute of Technology 124 PICIvOTJT 1909 was then played at Boston before a large (?) crowd and again Textile suffered defeat. University of Maine came next and the down Mainers proved the better team. The Andover game proved the big home game of the season. Manager Laughlin of Textile succeeded in getting ' Andover to play off her own floor, and as this game was Andover ' s last game of the season, and was the game needed to give her a clean slate of victories, the Andover boys were out for blood. At this game we were favored with a delegation of girls from Rogers Hall School . The attendance was a record breaker for the season, and the spectators were certainly given a good time. The special feature during the game was the friendly mixups between Jefferson of Textile and Reilly of Andover. Andover won, but so hotly contested was the game that both team lost several men under the S-foul rule. Last, but by no means least, several alumnae journeyed to the scenes of their by-gone days and tried to again shoot baskets, but soon found that their days at the game were by-gone, the alumna; being de- feated by a good score, altho ' we believe they did throw one basket. Financially the game was a success, the season ending with several dollars in the treasury. In appreciation of this fact, the Athletic Council awarded the following men sweaters: — Manager Laughlin, Captain Holden, Bunce, Brainerd, Manning, Jefferson and Flynn. 125 PICKOUT 1909 fekrtbail 3fcam, 190B-9 W James K.

The squad was called out early in April, to rush the team work for the opening game on the 18th. with M. I. T. We were victorious in this game by a score of 3 to 2. Although the squad was very limited, the candidates totaled up to seven- teen, and the choosing of some good working material was the result of the first week ' s practice. Manager Proctor arranged a series of nine games, including Dean Academy, Cushing, Worcester and Groton Academies. The real merits of the team were demonstrated in the game with Worcester Academy. The fourth inning credited Captain Weinz ' s men with four runs and Worcester one, but peculiarly the game closed with Worcester four to Textile three. A squarer, deal, regarding decisions, would have given Textile a clean victory over the Academy boys. Especially good work was shown by Holden, Parr, Bunce and Weinz, to whom, it may be safely said, the general success of the season was largely due. Textile rounded up her season with victories about evenly divided. The fast advance that the men are making in baseball, is making the sport one of the most popular on the campus. Each new class offers a con- stantly increasing share of material, to the extent that the Freshmen are mak- ing a strenuous bid for class honors in baseball. We are on a good footing now; recognized as clean, sportsmanlike players, and we are not financially oppressed. What we do need now, however, is a general backing by the student body. Pledging yourselves for a sum of money is not the only way you can show good feeling; it is equally as necessary for you to attend every game. If you would like to see your team a winning one ; if jou desire to boost athletics at Textile, be on hand personally at all the games, so that you can cheer and encourage your men to victory. The 1909 schedule includes games with Exeter, Boston University, St. Anslem ' s college, and other strong teams. The relations with such institu- tions clearly show that Textile is being recognized as rightly eligible to the college sporting world. lajttball 1909 Textile opens her current season on April 14th at Exeter. Captain Gale has the best working squad that the Moody street diamond has ever produced. The candidates at present number twenty-four, and after the first week ' s practice, some very promising material was evidenced. We are certainly expecting the best season of baseball that Textile has ever ex- perienced. The schedule embraces thirteen games, seven of which are to be played on the campus. The season closes on the 22nd of May. The management has secured the grandstand for the bleachers on the Kit- son side, and this should aid materially in drawing good crowds. It has also been announced that the ladies are freely welcome to all our games. 130 PRESCOTT HENRY PROCTOR MURRAY FARR WEINZ HARDY HOLDEN BUNCE GALE LEWIS GONNAM lasebtdi ufcam, 190B Brahman Proctor, ' 08 Walker F.

On the morning of the sixth, old Sol cheerily east his rays abroad, and promised an ideal day, so that by S.30, when the old galley, the Governor Allen pulled anchor at the Vesper Club docks, she bore the most representa- tive crowd that was ever seen on the crests of the faithful old Merrimac. The trip up to the grounds was an entirely enjoyable one, and although Onions had to lower the smokestacks whenever a trestle hove in sight; and the steering mechanism revolted occasionally so as to send the ancient craft shoreward ; and the side-wheel indulged in a filial collision with a steel bridge support, cheer and optimism reigned supreme. Everybody seemed enthusias- tic, and the phenomenal success of the first annual upstream was very large- ly due to the wholesome spirit in which all took hold and aided the managing committee in fulfilling their responsible duties. The aforementioned Onions ' ' was a source of general amusement. He was one of the captain ' s aids-de-midship, and was keenly interested in all matters bearing upon the preservation of the venerable barge. He was con- stantly in the lime light and was tendered words of praise during the whole voyage. Another equally enjoyable feature was the excellent entertainment fur- 133 PICKOTJT 1909 nislied by the band composed of the boys of the Essex County Training School. Leek, as chairman of the Upstream committee is due the credit of securing ' the band, and we must say a more satisfactory medium for the end desired would have been hard to find. A generous hour passed without a single case of aquanausea, and the Textile cargo landed at the Martin Luther grounds at about half-past nine. Our anticipations, as to the location, scenery and general facilities of the grounds were wholly realized if not exceeded. The committee had everything arranged and there was not the slightest ground for any criticism whatever. The baseball diamond was conveniently lined; the running ' courses planned as finely as anyone could expect, and in general every solitary feature, necessary for the immediate commencement of activities, had been carefully and wisely attended to. Headed bj ' Leek, as Drum Major, the whole crowd encircled the field twice to the rousing music of the boys ' band. The first pistol shot of the day announced the start-off of the first heat of the 100 yd. dash. The heats of this event proved exciting, and every man ran his best. The first three places were awarded at the final heat, to Har- rison, ' 11, Huntington, ' 11, and Prescott, ' 09, in the order named. The running high jump went to Leek, ' 10, first; Cheney, ' 11, second, and Pease, ' 09, third. This was a closely contested event, particularly in the case of third place, for which Pease and Carey ran a neck to neck rivalry. Jefferson, Ml, ate up the 880 yard run in two minutes and thi7 ' ty-nine and four-fifths seconds, with Keough, ' 10, and Duval, ' 10, as second and third men Jeff did some good plugging and surprised us all. The shot put was a pretty event, in which honors were divided between Middleton, ' 11, first; Harrison, ' 11, second, and Sidebottom, ' 11, third. These three men were well equipped with sinews and stature, and sprang unantici- pated surprises. Middleton won, with a distance of 39 feet and five inches. In the 440 yd. run Harrison, ' 11, again showed his metal, where he beat Carey, ' 10, second, and Welch, ' 11, third, by a narrow margin. Huntington, ' 11, capptured the running broad jump cup with a distance of 19 feet, 1% inches, although Harrison was a close second, clearing 19 feet of ground. Webber, ' 09, came third. The pole vault was a walk away for Webber, ' 09, pulling himself up to a height of 9 feet, 3% inches. Pease, ' 09, also did some good vaulting. Third mention fell the lot of Scribner, ' 11. One of the best events was the mile run. A. T. Brainerd showed up sur- prisingly well, and particularly .when it is known that only a few hours pre- vious showed him to be a sick man. However, Brainy pulled himself together 134 PICKOUT 1909 and landed first in the mile with a time of 5 min. and 31 see. Martin, ' 11, and Hale, ' 10, fought for next honors, Martin winning in good shape. In the relay, 1911 held everything. Poor Dink was all in, after the mile run, and consequently lost ground in the first heat for 1910, and this told seriously later on. Mer- ril and Bailey gained considerable sod for their team, as did Huntington and Harrison. A glance at the accompanying ' table of results shows 1911 far in the lead, and having pulled fifty-one points out of a possible eighty-one, they must be given first honors; 1901 comes next with 10 points, and 1910 third, boasting ' of 14 points. Harrison was the star performer, having 18% points to his personal credit. He surprised us all in many events; however he showed us that he has the goods, and must be given the highest individual honors. Cups were awarded to the winners of the first, second and third places in each event. These cups were presented by the business men of Lowell, as a manifestation of their appreciation of the line work, in all lines, being accom- plished at Textile. Cups were awarded by the following — Messrs. A. G. Pollard Co., Mr. George W. Wood, Mr. Thomas H. Law- ler, Messrs. Putnam Son, Mr. Millard Wood, Mr. Harry Raynes, Messrs. Chin Lee Co., Mr. M. Marks, Messrs. Wm. P. Brazer Co., Mr. J. J. Sullivan, Mr. J. L. Chalifoux, Mr. Henry Rondeau of Lawrence. At one o ' clock a very welcomed and plenteous dinner was served at the club house, and between courses, each class cheered its victors. After dinner, two games of baseball were played. The first was between the faculty and C. 9 C. ' s. This was a good game, in which the faculty won by a score of 10 to 9. Mr. Eames held down first base in a professional man- ner, and put his man out every time. Each one of the faculty players showed up well, and gave the chemistry fellows a good rub. The faculty nine were : — 1st base, Mr. Eames Catcher, Mr. Coman 2d base, Mr. Perkins Right field, Mr. Ball 3d base, Mr. Langevin Left field, Mr. Wilmot Pitcher, Mr. Lupien Centre field, Mr. McKay Short stop, Mr. Ferguson C 9 C line up as follows: — 1st base, A.

McCarthy 135 PICKOUT 1909 The second game was the final in the class Baseball Series. It was be- tween the 1910 and 1911 class teams; 1911 ' s were the better men, and offered a superb game ; 1910 played well too, but they met their superiors in the Fresh- men.

Cumnock, Mrs. Cumnock and Miss Grace Cumnock, the reception to the young ladies of Rogers Hall School was tendered. Apparently the affair was a mu- tually enjoyable one at which every one seemed to have a perfectly good time. We take this opportunity for expressing our sincere gratification to Mr. Cumnock, Mrs. Cumnock and their daughter, for their generous consideration of the Textile students. A gymnasium ! At last one has materialized, and an excellent one, too, for a starter. We are deeply indebted to Mr. James T. Smith, Secretary of our Board of Trustees, for this innovation. The basketball floor in Southwick Hall is now plentifully equipped with the newest gymnastic apparatuses which are being used more and more extensively by both students and in- structors. Mr. Lupien has charge of the new gymnasium, and is well fitted for his new duties. He has organized regular classes, meeting during the week after sessions, and he is putting them through a strenuous yet very beneficial course in bodily development. The establishing of a gymnasium is but one of the many instances in which Mr. Smith has manifested his keen interest for Textile ' s welfare. Our 1909 catalogue copiously describes the recent addition to the Engin- eering Department, so we will not devote much space here for that purpose. However, we feel that the great care and foresightedness on the part of Prof. Perkins, Mr. Ball and all those connected with the equipping of the new de- partment, are deserving of special mention. Bach one of the new machines represents the most modern type procurable, and their use and working is very thoroughly explained by the instructors in charge. If the rapid strides of progress taken by the Course in Textile Engineering during the past two years, stands for anything at all, there is every reason to believe that it will eventually become as important and popular as any course at Textile. The campus about our buildings is a feature that is not seriously enough appreciated by the student body. We are ideally located, and surrounded by as fine an expanse of campus as any institution situated similarly to ourselves. Steps are being taken constantly toward beautifying the land, and here again 138 Mr. James Smith is deserving of (he title of chief benefactor. A large part of Mr. Smith ' s time has been spent in transforming the three campuses, and particularly the one opposite Southwick Hall, from rough, sandy plots of ground, into a series of attractive and creditable examples of proper landscape effect. The fraternities, collectively, have been taking many steps lately toward establishing firmly the realization that they are inexpressibly more of a benefit to Textile than a drawback, as is the case in some other institutions. Of these steps, the inter-fraternity smokers are probably most worthy of consideration. These monthly affairs offer an excellent opportunity for the encouragement of friendly and congenial intercourse between faculty and student. Further, it offers to as many fellows as possible, who are not fraternity men, to share in the enjoyment of a very pleasant entertainment. The idea of the gathering of the entire fraternity body at Textile, is a new one, but the results of the experiment are indeed gratifying. They shall be continued next year, and with the ultimate object of tendering a periodic reception to the entire stu- dent body. Our staff of instructors has suffered a great loss in the temporary retire- ment of Mr. Eugene Woodcock. Mr. Woodcock is instructor in woolen mule spinning, and is an authority on (his subject. His departure was necessitated through serious illness, from which we sincerely hope he is steadily recovering. We anticipate with pleasure the return of Mr. Woodcock to Textile. During the year just closing, the Vesper Boat Club was thrown open to the public as a general club house. With all the facilities and features charac- teristic of a modern club, the Vesper has afforded a splendid opportunity for fellows seeking refined recreation. The Vesper alleys were used for the series of bowling- contests between faculty versus studes, in which the latter trimmed the faculty to a standstill. The main hall is also the scene of the inter- fraternity smokers, held once in every five weeks. Although the club has offered every inducement to the fellows for enjoying themselves, yet it can be firmly stated that they have not sacrificed time to it that should have been otherwise occupied. THE ORCHESTRA. The orchestra has done some splendid work this year. Under the able management of Alfred S. Levi, it has attained a degree of excellence seldom equalled at Textile. The most satisfying results from conscientious re- hearsals were manifested during the basketball season, where the orchestra en- tertained before the games and during the halves. Towards the success of the reception to the Rogers Hall girls, the orches- tra contributed very much, and from its extreme kindness in furnishing good music, a very enjoyable dance was made possible. 139 Inestimable service was rendered also towards the success of the Textile show, and the orchestral selections, though not entirely void of criticism, were pleasant to hear and well given. The work on the parts of all concerned with the orchestra was purely voluntary, and the men exhibited a noticeable amount of genuine college spirit in the way they took hold and attended to business. It means consider- ably more than is ordinarily realized in producing such creditable results from an amateur orchestra. No small amount of time must be sacrificed for rehearsing; music must be purchased and learned; and various improvements must be appropriately made in the individual parts. All of these duties have been willingly, patiently and laudably executed by both leader and his men. What has been done is a forcible indication of what is possible at Tex- tile in the way of maintaining an orchestra. It is hoped that every man capable of wielding a musical instrument of any kind will join the loyal band ; share the discomforts of discipline, and contribute spiritedly toward the con- tinuance of the good work already shown. Appreciative mention is due to each one of the following for their good work and kindness: — A. S. Levi, Leader — Pianist — L. Hurtardo, ' 10; A. F. Lamb, ' 10. Drums and Traps— J. C. Wood, ' 09; Cornets— R. C. Jefferson, J. B. LeBryu. Cello— W. Boyd, ' 09; 1st Violins— A. S. Levi, ' 09; F. W. Oehme, ' 11. 2nd Violin— F. L. McCool, ' 10. THE GLEE CLUB. After a particularly long spell of disappointments, .sparsely attended re- hearsals, and heated exhortations of William Oscar Jelleme, a glee club was turned out. The trouble in effecting a systematic organization, however, was assuredly no indication of the fine work to be done later on. It must be said that the ultimate success was due lo Mr. Barker ' s kind direction. Notwithstanding the fact that his time was fully taken up with in- structing, as well as private musical work, yet he very kindly, took the fellows in hand and actually made some harmonious warblers of them. The school at large, including the glee club itself, tenders to Mr. Barker its sincere appre- ciation for his kindness. The outlook for the glee club is indeed a bright one. Blessed with ex- cellent talent, an able leader in Jelleme, and an energetic manager in Joseph Duval, there is no earthly reason why a series of short outside trips cannot be taken, and in this manner create a very favorable impression for Textile in Lowell and surrounding communities. Those who were largely instrumental in the success of the Glee Club were Mr. Edwar H. Barker, Director; William O. Jellome, Leader; Joseph E. Duval, Business Manager. Choiksters — 1ST Tenors— E. H.

No need for a memorial tablet this year for the Tex show, as appeared on these pages of our last number. Contrarily we devote this space to Tex- tile ' s best dramatic production — the show of 1909. Instead of attempting the proverbial minstrels, the committee in charge favored vaudeville, and, in accordance with this idea, rehearsals commenced soon after mid-year ' s. Under the guidance of a very able committee, of which Wm. Oscar Jel- leme was chairman, assisted materially by Norman B. Reed ; Nelson A. Man- ship; James P. Morris; Wm. L. Parkis; Alfred S. Levi; Everett B. Rich; George H. Winslow and Harry L. Gale, as committeemen, no effort was spared to insure the success of the performance. As all the participants of the last show had graduated, it was necessary to select new material for the various parts, and this necessitated no small amount of care on the part of the committee. However, their wisdom in assigning the roles was manifested by the creditable manner in which the parts were presented. On the evening of Wednesday, March 17th, Chums was pleasingly preceded by the rendering of Victor Herbert ' s Algeria by the school or- chestra under the direction of Alfred S. Levi. A typical scene in a student ' s room greeted the vision of the onlookers as the curtain rose, and most apparent was the natural air of student life por- trayed vividly by the interest of Bill Watson, Cog Welch and Joe Duval in their exciting poker game. The Mandolin Club, of Art Lamb, Hue Colling- wood, Ira Stone, Bill Jelleme and Sim Elliott, grouped comfortably in the background, aided also in giving the desired effect. Upon the entrance of the Glee Club in the guise of hail-fellow-well-met, the results of Mr. Barker ' s careful direction were shown by the way in which Rebecca and Down in Mobile were sung. Succeeding this, a very ro- mantic incident was related Barbara Fritchesquely by Bud Smith. In his verses the poor co-eds were mercilessly scored, as were some of our illustrious instructors. Then local knocks were exchanged, much to the undoubted dis- comfort of the principals figuring among whom were Ludlow Potter, Childe Hadley, Kid Keough and Pluperfect Blaikie. A burlesque on the Merry Widow waltzes was successfully produced 143 PICKOXJT 1909 by Stone and Mullen in a way that reminded us of two bewitching ballet stars, so entrancing was the effect. The first act was agreeably closed with a rendition of Hovey and Bullard ' s Winter Song, by the Glee Club. The second act was a continuation of ' ' Chums, ' ' in which all the parts were pleasantly taken. Deae Howe, as Mr. Breed, a Vermont Squire, por- trayed a wonderfully natural parental air, to the extent that very soon the whole audience felt an inward sympathy toward Deae for his subsequent do- mestic complications. Morris deserves especial credit for the manner in which he acted the part of Mrs. Breed. His-her make-up was a piece of art in itself, showing plainly the wrinkles of care and age and two pretty little dimples under his jaw-bone. Geo. Welch, as Harry Breed, the scion of the family, showed his histrionic ability by the very correct personification of his part. Watson ' s burlesque, and Clark ' s impersonation of the eternal feminine won enthusiastic approbation. Bill ' s attempts, per force of habit, to find his trouser pockets were extremely laughable. Feature B on the program was the snappy Cow-Boy Dance to the tune of Why-o-Bill. Carroll D. Newall, who on account of a serious accident, was prevented from participating, drilled the corps faithfully and is entitled to much credit. The solo part was carried creditably by Joseph B. Thaxter, as- sisted by Joseph E. Duval, Arthur Lamb, Doane W. Smith and W. S. Bailey. A violin solo, ' ' Scene de Ballet ' ' by Du Beriot, was exceptionally well rendered by Alfred S. Levi, accompanied on the piano by L. Hurtardo, and made a decided impression. The closing number of the show was a bright, humorous sketch, The Hall Koom Boys. These newspaper heroes were represented by Clinton Gary and L. B. Chisholm. Both Cary and Chisholm proved themselves clever comedians, furnishing a continuous round of mirth. Reed and Murray upheld to perfection the reputation of the troublesome sex by their curiosity, which was the cause of so many embarrassing predicaments. Aside from their act- ing ability, the winning make-up of Reed and Murray caused many an adept fusser to use the opera glasses twice before dates were seriously considered. In every number on the program, a pleasant surprise was sprung, and the noticeable defects, which were so constantly pointed out at rehearsals, were but feeble indications of the grace, ease and familiarity with roles on the part of every fellow on the night of the show. The entire show elicited expressed satisfaction, and this, at least, bids fair toward the hearty receival of the Textile Show as an annual production. 144 PICKOUT 1909 SCRIPTURAL POINTS ON THE SHOW. The show does not end simply with the fall of the curtain. True, it was primarily offered as a theatrical seance, but back of it all, and from it, there are facts to be derived which prove that more has resulted than simply creat- ing individual reputations as promising foot-lighters. In the first place, it means that the 1909 football team is to have a pro- fessional coach, a sorely needed proposition. It further indicates that the Textile men still hold the hearty good will and co-operation of the residents of Lowell, notwithstanding ' the annoyance caused by some of our men several years ago. Too, it was good evidence of the excellent team work the fellows are ca- pable of. Just as much mass play and individual work is expected in staging an amateur show as in a hard football scrimmage. It means strict coaching, inevitable bowing to hard discipline, and the development of a vast amount of grit, all of which were shown on the part of each participant. Finally, it brought to light the managerial capacity of men who can handle the weighty matters of the future. The show was a marked success from every standpoint, and training should begin at the earliest possible moment in preparation for the produc- tion of 1910.

' ' The marked de- ficiency in the spiritual welfare of the Textilites, which exists so gloriously in other col- leges, was realized early in the history of our school, and to provide adequate accommo- dations for its encouragement the Waverly occurred. Formerly an optional course was instituted, and fully attended. The organization of the Owl Club in 1908, has once again brought the matter to the front, and owing to the rapidly increasing membership, the faculty have now made undergraduate attendance to the chapel compulsary. For the regulars, the course comprises six hours per week of lectures and laboratories, and three weeks (not by Elinor Gwinn ) preparation. For Special Designers double time is required. Periodic examinations will be scheduled by individual arrangement with the Owl Club. Messrs. Collingwood and Boyd will have absolute charge of the Chapel Services, and for the best advantage, no provisions will be made for it on the regular tabular views, but students must give it pref- ereuce in case of conflicts. The course will include a thorough manipu- lation of Winology, Cocktailism and Ward-eightology — augmented copiously by the most practical experiments, to be performed by the students personally and alone. Extra time for all-night work may be sat- isfactorily arranged upon application to Potter and Cherub at any time. 147 PICKOXJT 1909 THE SHEATH SKIRT. Friends, heard ye the whence of the sheath skirt? No? Well, here goes for the whence. Exactly 7,114,400 five week periods ago, Adam occurred in the beer garden of Eden, right near the aft side of the Waverly, Central Street to the starboard. After this fluctuation in stocks, Eve appearethed, and glorious was the welcome tendered her. Potter ' s fussing doesn ' t have a show in to the chivalrous tact, and pick-uping of old Adam. Howbeit, she was there, and the problem presented itself forcibly to Ad, what to do with it? The 5 and 10 cent stores had not yet held their grand opening, nor had the Bon Marche proclaimed its unequalled sale of all wool petticoats at 98 cents per. So Adam fainly wended his modest way to a hard-by fig tree and cruelly — oh so cruelly— plucked of its foliage. With the gallantry of the times, and whatever pig-iron nerve he could muster, he presented to the result of his recently extricated rib, a bright autumn colored, empire effect fig leaf. Did she blush? We ll! There never existed a demi- john of cochineal juice that colorated brighter. In her piquant, intuitively lady-like manner, she commented on its being so sudding, (though she may have meant abbreviated ), and straightway donned her scanty frock. They had wash-days then, as you do now, but the amount of work re- quired did not warrant the oi ' ganization of Chapter Number One of the Fe- male wash-board Union. However, a little caterpillar, on one of his little hiemestrial constitutional wallops, discovered himself one day on Dame Eve ' s leafy garment as it hung on the historic first clothesline. A feast for the gods quoth he, so starting at the bottom, he ate, nib- bled and grubbed a little opening half way up the leaf. 148 PICKOTJT 1909 Thus it was that the directoire sheathe effect was first produced. What havoc it has caused ! ! ! ! Prof. Joseph Wilruot, in one of his lively ethical discourses, feels that decadent Rome is again at hand. Carrie Nation is again considering another battle ax crusade. The Co-Eds have leagued themselves against the probable appearance of the aforementioned gown at Textile. In fact, the masses in general are against it, and to think that the cause of it all was the innocent lark of a little hungry caterpillar. SELAH. Diogenes graced the dump with a visit last month, in search for a man. With his torch in hand, and barrel about his waist he meandered saunteringly through the corridors, class rooms and laboratories, loathe to bestow The man upon anything he espied therein, until he fell over Windy Noyes. Grape-nuts and force, quoth Diogie, by all the cereal sawdust the gods hold dear, methinks ' tis A Man. He protruded his optics in Windy ' s direc- tion, and read him thru and thru to the very bottom of his Haverhill sole. Tho somewhat meekened by his research, he clung desperately to the convic- tion that Noyesy was the embodiment of mannish perfection he had been seeking for 2000 years, and straightway burdened Windy with information to that effect. Windy gazed in askance and in his wonted style of terse and effective English, said, Are youse de bloke what teaches high art? By the freckle on me gizzard, shrieked Diogenes, stung again. A CELEBRATED TAIL, OR A TALE OP CELEBRITIES. Howe a little Lamb, Hale and Hardy, was turned Sidebottom up while eating some Hay by a Noysey gale of wind is a tale known to all. A Ray of hope dawned upon the beast, as he espied some waning Reid in a neighbor- ing Wood, Rich with sod. The Lamb Bragged upon his good fortune and straightway attempted to eat a nearby Bean, but which proved to be a hard Stone, and so he croaked. (LONDON SPECIAL CABLE TO PICKOUT. ) Hueston Collingwood, distinguished guest of Duke de Kack-i-pack, was received at the court of his majesty today. Mister Colli agwood has been seen on the Piccadilly several times lately with Honorable Lady Maude, widower of the late Sir Fritz Irish von Spitz, Master of stein to his Majestey, and we will not be surprised at all to learn shortly of Mister Collingwood ' s nup- tialities. 149 IT, whose physog is here perpetrated, was hatched on the serene A. M. of Dec. 23, Q. E. D. Amen. A perusal of It ' s horoscope shows It to he absolutely impracticable, pro and con; apt to be fickle, and It will forego innumerable difficulties. It is an aquarius It, speaking astrologically, which nativity is inevitably accompanied by a marked tendency toward the Waverly; small feet; insatiable bladder and gizzard. 150 PICKOUT 1909 The high-cut pantaloons, and pied colored hose, betake of the Bohemian (a la Middlesex Street) ; betaking likewise of the dreamer-sublimely poetie- assthetic, and slush of similar species. In the ever ready hole-in-the-face-with-teetk, we see the benign features of the true-blooded, unsophisticated, wherewithaless Beau Brummell, so char- acteristic of Aquarius. This natal day effects a pensive nature, one which would likely, and does tend toward plugging— cramming— (Ye gods I ' m a liar). Look up at those eyes ! See the chivalric curves therein. Ah ! did a more apt coozier ever inhale the zephyr breezes of ye olde canalle walk! Ten cents to a pair of running trunks, that he could not perch on Pawtucket and Mer- rimack without having every eligible spinster in the village at his clog- hoppers. And to what end? Ah, me swarthy hash-houses, to what end? It means happy domestic ties severed; fabulous coozy legacies squandered; hearts riddled with Cupid ' s darts and left to the mercy of the cob-webs and undertakers. Oh ! If you but knew of this splendidly chaotic state of af- fairs ! I ' ll wager there are stories enough to be aired in the Flurrier Seit- izen, that would fill a young hogshead minus the cerebral fixtures. And yet the cuss lives on unmolested — unmolested as the flittering ele- phants and hippopotamuses of the Nashua mountain-tops. Why is it thus? I reiterate, why thus it is it? Are there none of you gallants bold enough to spread your silvery wings, succor the blinded damsel, and vermoose the tailor- made cad ? To arms, me hearties ! ! There ' s a 7-20-4 in it for each one of you who enters upon the cruelsade. EPILOGUE If you must coozy, do so diseriminately.

Little woolen fibres, in the worsted goods, Make the tailor ' s money grow as thick as woods. Little times at fussing, by the Textile men, Cause the flunks you hear about, and experience now and then. A little plugging now and then, per Watson, Hay and Blake, Causes you to look around and see wherein they ache. Little hours of cutting, by our would-be sharks, Brings a little note from Charlie, to querry as to marks. Liltle threads of mispicks, in the ' and loom class, Sets you on to cussing, believing you ' re an ass. Little bits of good work, by the German grind, Makes Herr Kunzer ope his eyes and look for cribs to find. Little bits of time, that you have to spare, Make old Ump and Fergie sit upon their chair; And then they pile the work— it ' s a sin, a crime, a roast,— And if you fail to do it all, of two nice flunks you boast. Little bits of cribbing, in the Freshmen ' s work, Makes these babies lazy, and their tasks they shirk. So there ' s no redress, for the plugger or the sport, For whatever you may do, it ' 11 show on your report.

For the Pickout, the year book, appeared that day; And Mike, who o ' er all thought he had full sway, Caused many a man wish to make him repay For some of the knocks that were published that day. So Mike dodged and hid, where no one could see; And wished, by heaven, back in Jersey to be. And so, my dear school-mates you see by these facts What the Editor reaps as rewards for his acts. (Note) We apologize, Mike, for bringing in mixed ale but we had to make it rhyme. ALBANY JACK. Colly (at SI, over the phone)— I wish I had a girl like you to love tonight.

(1) On a day that was slipp ' ry, blust ' ry and cold, Mr. Eames did to us a surprise unfold. Rogers Hall deigns send, with a twinkle, quoth he, ' ' Its students of crisp and rare beautee. A reception is planned in Southwiek Hall, And an invitation is extended to all; But bear in mind, please, it ' s very informal, With a great big dash underlining the word. (2) So at 2.30 the guests arrived, And swarmed about like bees behived, Headed by Mr. Cumnock, our own, Who filled up his time as head chaperon. You should have seen these sweet seraphims Ope up their dear eyes at the Textile men ' s whims; But soon their amazement left them quite serene, As they went on their way to see all to be seen. (3) To Cotton Lab first they wended their way, The processes there were working full sway, And if you had seen at a tolerable distance. The blushes of some, our Cherub for instance, You ' d shriek till your kidneys began to besprout, And, croak on still harder, your mirth to let out. It wasn ' t as though unconcerned was he. As much as his efforts in trying to be. (4) The first thing that happened to awaken your notice Was Cogswelly Welch, the old Stoughton poultice, Who at first was so shy that he hid in the rear, Not a word to the queens could he gab without fear. Something, however, gave rise right away, That made Cogsy turn his small eyes away; But when he returned to his own normal self, He cast all his shyness back onto the shelf. 156 PICKOUT 1909 (5) Two infantiles, young, say ten years or more, Affronted Cogs boldly, and in Rogers Hall lore; Queried him on the mechanical side Of the mule he was running with elegant stride. Of course Welchy bluffed, and bluff he can too, When it comes to a case of bluffing a few. So when he had finished, the babes went away, To the other young ladies, their facts to display. (6) Poor Deae was now filled with a sense of dismay At having to cast all his lab. work away, For he saw a bright blonde, whom he casually knew, And whose presence he hated like time to eschew. So he fell in the line with the rest of the throng, And wafted his way quite gaily along. He was in his element, like a spright Beau Bruiamell, Tho his lab. coat was covered, and dirty as . (7) T ' were crime not to mention the case of String Jell. Who as a good plugger may fare very well, But show him a skirt, or a young maiden fair, And he ' 11 back off and howl like a snail in its lair.. And so it was here, on this very same day. That he pieced up his ends, as tho it were play, But when he looked up at a feminine girl, His toes began shaking, pretty much in a whirl. (S) To fill up the time to the greatest advantage, Some fussing was done in a way most gallantage. Introductions were needless, per the precepts of Charlie, Who told us to go up and speak without parley. So naturally this ensued most serenely, And surprisingly calm, the girls acted quite queenly. Looking shyly across at Miss Parsons alone, Who doubtless had come as their chaperone. 157 FICKOTJT 1909 (9) Bill Watsing, Jim Ray, Carl Potter and Runt, All had a great time at the heartbreaking stunt, And each of these fellows, (it doesn ' t seem strange) Had all the good-lookers in eye or ear range, Some talking, some laughing, at what the boys told, Of their perilous capers and rough-house hunts bold. Jack Brady of Albany too had his day And cutely he said all that he had to say, But a glance at his shiny and round old physog, Plainly showed him perturbed, as a ship in the fog. (10) Heap more- were the tales that could here be retold, — How our various lights did their reps well uphold; But let us now turn, for a short time, old boys, To the scene of the subsequent hubbub and noise. Southwick Hall was a scene to espy, With its tables of sweet-meats piled upward so high, But thru etiquette ' s statutes there now came the rub Of sitting around and waiting for grub. (II) About now came- the feed, and a merry one ' twas, Of a generous share of confectioner ' s fuzz, Of a liquid most boozeless, and a cream just as slick, At the tasting of which even Bunce could not kick. The serving was done in an informal way, By ourselves or by waiters on hand for the day, And it ' s quite safe to say, that o ' er more cup than one, The privilege to call, from the damsels was won. (12) At the end of the dancing, which briefly ensued, The strangeness of all was nicely subdued; So when we departed, we did so as friends, And for our past slowness vowed make full amends. The party was closing as twilight set in, And the number of guests became rapidly thin ; Then the girls said good-bye, with demeanor ' s still cool, But making us long for more co-eds at school.

Sans Red Tape. FATALITIES AT THE ROGERS HALL RECEPTION. It reminded one of timid little heifers, cantering hither and yon, to see some of the bashful freshmen caper down stairs when one of the patronesses approached. Robson, as usual, was hilariously enwrapped in the affair, and rendered as scientific a series of inorganic fussing sketches as was ever seen at Textile. It goes without saying that Sox Watsing of Haverhillock shone radiantly at the reception, and his translucent hose of charming hues captivated some of the most impregnable damsels on hand. Social honors are rightly due to Putnam, Robson, Arienti, MeCool, Gold- berg and Fletcher. These cupids led the crowd in decorum, nicety and absences. How flattering it was to have one of the strange patronesses approach you radiantly with outstretched hands, as though she knew you all your life, arid introduce you to, what you thought, the best looking girl around. The school orchestra missed Putnam, with his staccato clatter. 159 PICKOTJT 1909 A WIERD MELODRAMA IN THREE ACTS. Scene: Vesper Club Bowling Alleys. Time : Night of Inter Fraternity Smoker.

Mr. Cotton Smith has tendered quite a healthy unit toward the increase of local population. (Mr. Roosevelt please note.) Prof. Perkins greenish gray English f elt slouch hat has become an affixed factor in Textile importances. (Time for Mr. Barker to risk a change of Panama headgear.) Mr. Wamsley is an efficient whist player, frequently supplanting his wife ' s part. Mr. Herbert Ball can outstare any man at Textile and is a good honest indication (together with his C. E. pin) of his sincerity. Principal Eames ' apparent frigidity is no indication toward his hearty, wholesome interest in every one of the fellows. Close contact proves him to be an impartial, staunch friend. Notwithstanding the common opinion on the unneeessity of a course in Hand-loom Weaving, Mr. Stewart McKay ' s department is, from every stand- point, an important one. In the first place, it affords excellent preparation for power-loom weaving, and deals with, though on a smaller scale, every point in the latter branch. It affords good practice in setting up loom parts; drawing in warps; understanding design card-cylinder motions; and in obtain- ing thorough training in effecting presentable designs in the woven fabric.

Idottg anfr X t x of 3ft The Following being Two Characteristic Examples of the Contrast, in Home Correspondence, Between Letters Written by a Freshman and a Senior, both being One and the Same Fellow (FRESHMAN) Lowell, Mass., September 25, 1906. Dear Papa:— My first clay at Textile School is over, and I will write to you, per my promise before leaving home. The eity of Lowell, with its broad, well paved, cleanly swept streets, magnificent public buildings; theatres and moving pic- ture shows seemed very impressive to me after our quiet little village. I have found my fellow students very kind indeed ; in fact some of the sophomores called on me last night before I had even finished unpacking, and helped me unpack and fix my room. The course in High Art must be of great value in cultivating an artistic taste, for they certainly showed it in fixing up my room. They decorated everything, but it wasn ' t real home-like. They made nice portieres out of my couch cover, and a very convenient hat tree out of the chandelier. The bureau drawers, when properly padded with sofa pil- lows and bedding made very comfortable window seats, but I thought that I would sleep better if I changed some of these radical innovations, so before I went to bed, I spent three or four hours rearranging the things, as bringing the mattress in from the roof; taking my underwear down from the window pane, etc. The Sophomores invited a few of us Freshmen up to a little store they call Sharf ' s, and treated us to ice cream and soda water. The flavor of these were not just like those served at home. I can taste it yet, but I cannot seem to recognize the flavor, and I am almost positive I have never tasted anything like it before. I did not care for it at all, but I did not want to hurt the Soph- omore ' s feelings, so took it all. The older fellows certainly seem to take an interest in us and our welfare. They have invited me to come out tonight to some sort of an entertainment, which, it seems, they have every year on the evening of the first day. One of them asked me if I could sing, and when I said no, promised to teach me if it took all night. He taught me. The professors here are an imposing looking lot of gentlemen and very accommodating, particularly one in charge of the Chem. Stock Room. I had to go there for some Tetrakisazo tubes just as he was about to close the win- dow, but he promised that if I would wait for an hour and twenty-five minutes, 162 PICKOUT 1909 he would see that I got mine at the end of that time. They say he gives some of the chemistry lectures, but I don ' t believe it, do you, for he certainly would need a step ladder and a megaphone to make himself seen and heard. I met one of the other professors who is head of one of the departments and I think I will take his course; don ' t you think I ' m right? He seems so pleasant and suave. Some of the profs are sarcastic, and I dislike that, but this man does seem so pleasant that I know he would not try to rattle or em- barrass anyone. There is a funny thing about him, however, in that he al- ways wears a straw hat in school. I suppose he is bald, but then he is married, so I don ' t see why he should be ashamed of it when he has such a good excuse. I have not seen our design prof yet, but the sophomores say he is a great man for advocating economy in purchasing design supplies. That appeals to you, does it not dear papa? They say his name is Mister Lampwick ' Arness Humpleby. This morning I was twenty minutes late for my class in Scientific German, and as I went by one of the rooms, I saw a bunch of 2nd year men in there whistling Waiting at the Church. I asked one of them what they were doing. Oh — waiting for Perky, he replied in a matter-of-fact tone. I later learned that Mr. Perky taught Weave Mech. Well, it ' s now 9.30 o ' clock, papa, so I guess I ' ll have to go to bed. Don ' t send me any money until I ask for it, as I want to bother you as little as I can. Love to all, I am, Devotedly, YOUR SONNIE. (SENIOR) 5-10-1909. My Own Dear Father: — I am broke. Kindly settle all the enclosed bills and send me some money so that I will get it tomorrow sure, or else I ' ll get canned. Lot of extra ex- penses now,— thesis paper is awful expensive. Aff. Your Son. P. S. Don ' t forget to send money. 163 PICKOUT 1909 (Stye ofcxiil? f rimer Being an Exceedingly Plain, but Particularly Terse, Matter-of- Fact Recountal of Ejaculations Uttered by an Unwary Freshman-to-be, and Philosophically answered by our Dublin Correspondent A Freshman Oh!

I worked for myself one summer at 25 cents per hour, and at the end of the season, was personally indebted to myself to the extent of $40.00. — Blakolling Wood. Women, boys, women— nothing like them except women. — Harold Conant. Gyzander. A drink in time often saves a nikel. 165 PICKOUT 1909 AN ESSAY ON DIPLOMACY. Have you ever coozed? Don ' t deny it, and then read this discourse as if for information, because you know you are bluffing. Take it from an erstwhile coozier that there are some heap big eye openers for every fellow that comes to Lowell, and incidentally to Textile. The first week or so in the course is occupied in planning schedules, buy- ing supplies, seeing the awe-inspiring sights of Lowell, and a conscientious stab at old-time plugging at Mechanism, et al. Pretty soon, some delightful moonlight stillness is suddenly broken by the irresistible Textile whistle, rising from underneath your romantic eve. If your landlady is of the Old School, or a Law and Order League exponent, you pay no attention to the sum- mons; otherwise, you poke your dear little nut out of the window, and, all in a flutter, answer the call of the wild. The fair damsel herself, hovering in the convenient shade of the spread- ing pineapple tree, giggles a bit, laughs, and, if bolder yet, julietesquely calls you by your first name. To h with studying, you say. Down you go, and perform the powerfully impressive formality of, ' ' Hello, Kiddo ! ' ' That, which you address, cools down with a grace almost natural, and from the difficulty you have in invoking conversation, you would think she wanted you to believe that you, and not she, solicited the clandestine. When she does venture verbally, she whispers laconically, Do youse go to Textile? After you have fairly recovered from that first voltage, you probably confess your misfortunate identity. Then comes the inevitable query, Do youse know Carl Potter? Ere this, you have become sympathetic for Carl, so you say, Yes. Well, your debut at eoozying may result in taking a stroll, punching a date, or sharing a mutual throwdown, or whatever it may be, as you saunter hurriedly upstairs again, you feel somewhat prided at your popularity. All goes serenely onward until, say two or three nights afterwards : then you are soberly summoned to the telefusser. Ye gods and pickled sardines ! ! If it isn ' t the same eoozy! She jollies slushingly on and on for an hour or two, you, meanwhile, managing to get in a forced giggle, or a retort occa- sionally, without materially interfering with the jabber at the other end, until some one on the line cusses you for talking so blamed long. Finally you peg the ear piece with joyous relief, and thus your career develops. If you are wise, you ' ll swear off eoozying, and enter upon the serious life, like Potter, Parkis and Robson have done. If not, you will continue to shine in saeiety all year, and add rapidly, to your repertoire of Venuses until the final exams, and then— what then, just ask Brothers Penwick, Edgar, Steve and Louis, for their revised compilation on wherefore, oh, wherefore the flunks. EAMESES II. 166 PICKOUT 1909 WE KNEW IT ALL ALONG. In the Spring a young ' man ' s fancy Deeply turns to love, they say; So it was with Henry Harrison, Toward the close of term, one day. Thoughts anent a certain fair one Tilled with restlessness his mind; And some token fit to give her, Eagerly he sought to find. Frat emblem belts that season Were considered quite the thing; I ' ll get one of those, ' ' said Harrison, Later on, perhaps a pin. So he sought the books on fashion, When he learned, to his surprise, That a belt would not fit snugly If he did ' nt know the size. Then he blushed and stammered slightly, Losing all his wonted calm, But in halting tones suggested,— Could you measure— er— my arm? Apologies to an Ancient Poem. The extreme penalty of boozing is the plurality of vision it necessitates. PEOZNIX. 167 PICKOUT 1909 MmtxatmbltB i A sly little fellow was Burns, Who won riches and lost them by turns; He could smoke like a stack And at pool beat the pack, Could our sly little, cute little, Burns. 2 And here ' s to our friend, Chicken Holden, Who parted his hair when SHE told him; To judge by his size, You would never surmise What vast oceans of wisdom he rolled in. 3 How could we neglect Maud McPherson, A sweet and most amiable person; Though his luck was against him It rarely incensed him And he NEVER resorted to cursin ' . 4 There came daily from Haverhill station Fred McCarthy, of good reputation— When no one did look He would open his book But his marks were a sore revelation. 5 So McCarthy of Haverhill station Decided to change his gradation; He studied all day And he studied all night — Now he ' s boss of a big corporation. 6 You ' ve probably heard of Gyzander, Who by moonlight would love to meander With a girl on each arm, Show them Uncle ' s old farm And display most remarkable candor. 168 PICKOXJT 1909 7 Two chemists were walking downtown one day, Two damsels, it chanced, were passing that way — Stone turned to Wood and Wood turned to Stone, Then both of them turned to Rubber. 8 Kid Leaf was a famous New Yorker, As well as a long distance walker; When he played on the fiddle We felt queer in the middle — But on horseback he sure was a corker. 9 Lank Brainerd, cute Artha Travina, Was brought up on milk and farina; His nature so gentle And qualities mental Are enhanced by a female demeanor. HALL OF FAME. Our good old design Prof., named Ump, Delights to make us all hump, And by planning designs Of ninety-six lines, He makes all our marks look punk. Then there ' s Lupien, our mathematician, Who is also a good electrician; The X ' s and Y ' s, the thetas and pi ' s, He handles them like a magician. There is a young Prof, named Hadley, Who needs a new voice quite badly, In chem each morn, he should have a tin horn, For his voice surely squeaketh quite badly. Oh ! Professor Ball, You fit first-rate with all, And you come to us from Massachusetts Tech; Tho ' with epicyclic trains, You tangle up our brains, And soak the little freshmen in the neck. 169 PICKOTJT 1909 A itxam Outside the storm was raging, The wind was on a tear, While I sat idly dreaming Within my morris chair. I dreamed of an open fire And its flickering flames of gold, A fire that warms men ' s hearts No matter how harsh or cold. And by my side was a maiden Whose eyes oft gazed into mine With a light I ' ll long remember, A light that was almost divine. And as we looked at each other, The cold, old world slipped away, Some mystic charm upon us came — ' Twas the power of love held sway. I told her that old, old story That all the world holds dear; She looked again with that magic light, And I kissed her without fear. So, there we sat by the fire, Forgetful of world and time. Not strange that we did so, — is it? — For life to us seemed sublime. My dream, alas, it ended As all dreams are apt to do; But, perhaps, as often happens, This dream of mine will come true. 170 PICKOXJT 1909 TO THE TUNE OF AIN ' T HE THE WISE OLD OWL. (1) Now up at school we have a room, Oo-oo-oo-oo In which we ' re allowed to smoke at noon ; Oo-oo-oo-oo But Mr. Eames has made a rule Oo-oo-oo-oo That we shan ' t smoke in the time of school. Oo-oo-oo-oo. But Mr. Eames, He says, it seems, We should obey his law, And when we ' re smoking ' , His head comes poking, And soon Ave ' re caught in his official saw. And we laugh ho! ho! And we laugh ha! ha! And laughingly we sing. Chorus. Ain ' t you the wise old owl, Charley you make us howl, If you only knew it. Each time we do it. You solemn looking wise old owi. (2) Now we have a Prof, named Mr. Ball, Oo-oo-oo-oo And he is only four feet tall, Oc-oo-oo-oo And for a person of his size ; Oo-oo-oo-oo, He is most exceeding wise. Oo-oo-oo-oo. He is a corker, An endless talker; He teaches all the niech. And when he ' s teaching It sounds like preaching, He soaks the little freshmen in the neck. So we laugh ho ! ho ! And we laugh ha ! ha ! And laughingly we sing,— 171 PICKOTJT 1909 Chorus. Ain ' t you the wise old owl, Herbie, you make us howl, We know you ' ve got the goods But wish your meeh was in the woods, You solemn looking wise old owl. (3) Now perhaps you ' ve heard of Mr. Clark, Oo-oo-oo-oo Who is afraid when it gets dark; Oo-oo-oo-oo, And he would make a perfect girl Oo-oo-oo-oo, If he would do his hair in curl, Oo-oo-oo-oo. He has a soft heart, He teaches high art, He has the co-eds too; They are three beauties, And of his duties, He likes best to tell them what to do, So we laugh ho ! ho ! And we laugh ha ! ha ! And laughingly we sing,— Chorus. Ain ' t you the wise old owl, Genie you make us howl, You teach them how to daub, And we all wish we had your job, You solemn looking wise old owl. 172 PIOKOUT 1909 BARBARA PREITCHIE (A la Textile) Down the street came the faculty tread, Charles H. Eames marching ahead; From beneath his gray felt hat He looked to the left and right. , The co-ed banner met his sight. Halt! cried Charlie, the dust brown squad stood fast, Fire! Out blazed a rifle blast, Shivered the window pane and sash And rent the banner, seam and gash. Just as it fell from its broken staff, Lizzie Clark grabbed the silken scarf. He leaned far out, o ' er the window sill, And shook it forth as tho ' he had a chill, ' ' Shoot, if you must, this flaxen head, But spare the co-ed ' s flag, he said. A look of sadness, a blush of shame, Over the face of Charley came ; The nobler nature within him stirred At this one man ' s brave deed and word. Who dares touch a hair on yon tow-head, Dies like a donkey ; skidoo ! he said. All night long they marched the town, Looking for students for Hathaway ' s bound. But for e ' er and e ' er they might search that night, For all the students were up at a fight. At Prescott Hall. PICKOTJT 1909 ilanufarturpra of the Anti-3fl«nk anil (ttut ffiwnrtites On account of the wonderful effect of the great Anti-Flunk and Cut Remedies, manufactured by the above company, we take pleasure reluctantly in sacrificing- space on these pages for the following speak-for-themselves-testimonials. Dear Anti: — Prior to my using your putrid concoction I w as unable to plug at all; now, however, I can do so for ten minutes at a stretch and yet feel no deterious effects therefrom. With due hopes for your immediate extermination by the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Infants, I remain, t Perforce yours humbly, HANK HARRISON. Darling U. B. D — d Co. : — Permit me to profusely hurl at you my unfelt gratification for the power- ful and harmful good of your dose. Before I seen it I could only with diffi- culty tell a Sheep ' s Belly from a Sow ' s Hoof on a woolen mule, but now I can discriminate between these quadrapeds very easily, for the study- ing of which I ' d like to bury one of the directors in your company. Yours emotionally, JACK BRADY OF ALBANY. Dearest Messrs. What- You- Said: — Before I accidently fell upon your remedy for man and beast, I could see but little, now all I can see is flunks. Tearfully yours, WILLIAM OSCAR SALOME. Dear Company-of-which-Herbie-Ball-is-it : — After dosing three gross bottles of your cocktail, we made as successful a flunk in 1st and 2nd term 1st year Mechanism, as is your wont to wish for. Thanking you in advance, we exist Yours in hiding, MORTON vs. DUVAL. 174. Most Dear Stock of Blue Socks: — After three successive years of your treatment in elementary Mechanism, I at last spy the dawn of recovery. Enclosed please find 30 cents, for which send me, via phonograph, another case before the finals. If you do not, I am, Most black-handedly yours, NIPPER SCHMIDT. Dearest Gentlemen: — Being blessed with a great lack of the wherewithal to continue the regu- lar injection of your loaferitis cure, I was impelled to grace the joint with my departure. Ta-ta, ANDY O ' RIORDEN. 175 Most Seasick Profs. : — Heaven be praised for your deliquescent conglomeration. After smuggling ' steen swags from Piedro Arient ' s cellarette, I am now told that I croak like a three-legged terrapin. Insuring you of my corporation through stink or sink, I am catarrhally yours, IGNACIOUS PUTNAM. Most High Lobsters, which are Celebratingly Enumerated as Or- dained Mucky Mucks of the against Flunk and Cut Co., Lowell Textile Reformatory, Lowell, U. S. A., America, Mass.: — Thanks mostly gleeful to the hindering to the grow, which is progress, to forefinger on m} ' left. Subsequently to exposing myself ' s carcus to seven following-in-rotation series of gagging myself with your prescription, I am now partially an irregular advocation to the Course IV of Engineer gentle- men. Yours with my feet unshod, and until the cherry blossoms beat it. HIDEOUS BUREAU KONO. 176 Gentlemen: — I seen me face affixed to a bunch of testimonials circulated in de town praising- 3 ' our stuff. Permit me to inforce myself in record as not knowing nothing of same. I never drunk your remedys, and don ' t imagine I wouldn ' t never do it neither. I consider it outrage to classify my name of myself along together wid a lot of know-nothins who you claim use your medicine. If you do it again, I shall take tragic steps toward the immediate proxecution of your whole damn bunch. Disgustly yours, TALKATIVE ROBSON. 177 V ' f %ntB in ilje 3mr Cn-ebs SSSTATISSSTICSSS WHO IS THE MOST POPULAR MAN? According ' to the consensus of opinion as received from the votes, Chic Holden is the most popular man of the senior class. The class, (we are in- clined to believe), must like each oilier pretty well, for the votes were scat- tered over about ten names. WHO IS THE HANDSOMEST MAN? Of course Bill Boyd is the pretty boy. There was no doubt at all about his receiving ' the blue ribbon in the beauty contest. Look out, Bill, don ' t let the head in back of the face swell on this account. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED IN LIFE? Jim Laughlin is the business man whose marvelous brain is to assist him to the top notch on the ladder of success. But then, you know Jim wears the largest hat in Textile, so it ' s a pity if there couldn ' t be something in a head of that size. One man ventured the answer, I am, when asked about who was most likely to succeed. We hope his aspirations won ' t be blighted. WHO IS THE BIGGEST FUSSER? Who is the biggest fusser? Why. Art Mullen, of course. Almost every- one agree on that point. All we had to do in recording the votes was to enter his name two or three times and then use ditto marks. WHO HAS THE BRIGHTEST PROSPECTS OF BEING AN OLD BACHELOR? Poor Mac. They picked you out for bachelorhood. The brightest prospects of being an old bachelor. ' ' But cheer up, it may not be as bad as it seems. FAA 7 0RITE FACULTY MEMBER, Mr. Stewart heads the faculty list on popularity. Prof. Olney, Prof. Umpleby and Mr. Smith stood in a deadlock for second place. WHAT IS YOUR REGARD FOR THE STENOGRAPHERS AND LIBRARIAN? The stenographers and librarian were variously described. Some couched their opinions in terms of knightly esteem, but others resorted to slang with such expressions as jolly, glorious, bully, and dears. 179 PICKOXJT 1909 WHAT IS YOUR AGE? The average age of the class is about twenty-one and a half years. The father stands at twenty-five, and the infant at nineteen. WHAT IS YOUR WEIGHT? The average weight is 154 pounds. Wonder where it would stand without Cherub ' s weight added in? WHAT IS YOUR HEIGHT? They are a pretty good sized set, but some shorties bring the average down to five feet, eight and a quarter inches. COLOR OF YOUR HAIR? Brown hair is predominant, or possibly they all said that for want of a suitable term. One man was original, and said his was mouse-colored. An- other says his is brown except where it ' s gray. Poor man ! how hard he must have worked during his three years. COLOR OF YOUR EYES? Blue eyes win by one pair, with browns for second place. Some don ' t even know what color their eyes are. WHAT IS YOUR COMPLEXION? Complexions run to all kinds, light, medium, and dark, though light seems to have it. Some are described as bum, rotten. and one says he has none, while another doesn ' t know what he has. FAVORITE SPORT? The favorite sports are so diversified that football wins by only three votes, but not even that number could agree on anything else. Swimming and baseball are tied for second, with two devotees each. Diabola and poker were mentioned on the list. WHAT IS YOUR PRESENT COURSE? There are more chemists than members of any other one course,— yet the chemistry subjects do not seem in the predominance of favoritism, com- pared with the number of men taking the course. The cotton men alone seem to stand pretty pat for their subject. One man doesn ' t know what course he is or what his favorite course is. He seems to be an eternal question to himself. 180 PICKOUT 19G9 WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE INSTRUCTOR? Mr. Crompton has most votes, as the favorite instructor, with Mr. Wilmot and Mr. Reed following closely. DID YOU EVER CUT? Did I ever cut? Oh — once in a while. One man says, never. One says the same but adds a siring of interrogation points. We are inclined to believe the latter. Most of them, however, acknowledge it outright. One says, three times, all in high art. DO YOU ATTEND CHURCH? Some attend church regularly, some occasionally, some on Sunday even- ings (wonder why), and one says, once a year. ARE YOUR PROSPECTS BRIGHT? Prospects seem fairly good for the class, that is, according to their own estimates. But here again is that eternal question, who don ' t know nawthin ' ' bout nawthin. ' One gets a little pessimistic, and compares his outlook to the sun at midnight, unless possibly he means at North Cape. YOUR POLITICS? The G. 0. P. wins almost unanimously, although in one case it is expressed as anything but democratic. HAVE YOU EVER USED A PAWN TICKET? One man had a pawn ticket once, but lost it. Poor boy! Another says he never had anything they ' d take. But the majority are unaquainted with the article. APPROXIMATE EXPENSES FOR THREE YEARS. The average expenses per man per year of this our honored and respected class of 1909, amount to $1440.75. The extreme limits are $2000 and $600. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF LOWELL? Some like Lowell, but don ' t like its people; some like the people but don ' t like the place; others say it ' s good at times, others won ' t say. But we have come to this conclusion — that they have all found it a pretty good place in the past three years for pretty good times. 181 PICKOUT 1909 NOTE. Do not cry back to the Editor or the board, to practice what they preach in the articles, preceding and following this, for every article we have pub- lished, is meant for your own good. It may be that the subjects we have laid the greatest stress in are just the ones we are personally the weakest in, so we consequently realize their importance from our own shortcomings. In any case our admonition is well meant, sincere and offered with the great hope of urging you to perfect those qualities of which we ourselves may possibly be in the greatest need.

This method of construction has decided ad- vantages for many kinds of service. Cork insert Wood Rim, Iron Hub and Arm Pulleys are being- used extensively by textile mills and leading concerns in other lines. Some of which purchase pullej-s so equipped direct from us or our representatives and others equip their own pulley with Cork Inserts at the most convenient time and at small expense, under licenses from this compan} ' , ordering corks therefor in lots of 10,000 to 25,000 each. Ready -to -Use Cork Insert Loom Frictions transmit more power, pick up quicker, require no repairs, need no adjustment or cleaning, are not affected by dust, oil, water or atmospheric conditions and last much longer than leather facings. They are quickly and inexpen- sively attached to looms now in use. The cost of the Rings is small, i. e., $1.00 to $1.50 each, depending- on size and cork area required. More than 10,000 Cork Insert Frictions are in use in mills of the Am. Woolen Co , Amoskeag Mfg. Co. and over 100 other textile manufacturers.
