When the venerable Chas. H. Eames first called the class together, there was indeed a cosmopolitan crowd. Among those present was Senor Emilio Judaspriest Gonzales from the Malay islands, who left us because we could not pronounce his name. Also a motley gathering from the wilds of Law- rence and Methuen. Even arctic New Jersey was represented in the person of Outwater, and Utica sent us Kid Abe. Hundley arrived from Baltimore on the fast freight, and Ikey Adams walked in from East Bridgewater. There were others from more important places, but their names need no mentioning. After having put it over 1910 like a tent, we started in with the accustomed duties of Mechanism, Fussing, and Afternoon teas. Among the most prominent men in all these sports were Adams, Rich, Signor, and Ha} . The class showed its discretion in the election of officers, as indeed it did in all other matters, by electing the following men: Harrison, president; Middleton, vice-president; Mudge, secretary, and Dewey, athletic council. In the fall of 1909 the trains brought into Lowell the greater part of our illustrious class. Among those missing were John Buck, the Boy Orator, Oehme, the class goat, Lontz and Newell, the Exeter Twins, and John Blodgett Stebbins, the Perpetual Freshman. ?9 I ' ll E P I CKO I ' T 1911 We held the usual reception to tin- Freshmen, and they certainly were an unpromising-looking bunch, but under our tutelage they have improved wonderfully and are at presenl as nearly normal as will ever be possible. Al first they had notions in regard to painting their numerals where we had placed ours the year before, hut they were soon convinced of the impossibility of this. Their only organized attempt, in which they were armed with staves, ended dis- astrously for them and they were introduced to the mud of Merrimack Street. Another all nipt in which they strove to wrest our laurels from us was in an interclass football game, hnl this also was unsuccessful on their part. As we look hack upon the three years which have slipped by us so quickly, we cannot help hut feel proud of our achievements. In our Freshman year we established the custom of painting the class numerals on the rocks. and allowing the other classes to pay for the paint. We are also the sole originators of the Freshman banqueting custom al Textile. We wen the lirsi Freshman class to participate in ' Upstream Day, and our nun pulled down almost every evenl in the athletics of thai day. In athletics in general we have covered ourselves with honor. Even in our Freshmen year we had nine out of Bfteen men on the football team. In other years we have done equally well. Without wishing to seem egotistical, we think thai il other classes will follow in our footsteps and do equally well in both school and social life they will be able to look back as we do today and feel satisfied with what they have accomplished. 30 mior CIa00 TRACY ADDISON ADAMS on tracy Class Secretary 3 Alembic 2, 3 Secretary Alembic 3 Class Basketball 2 Tracy came to us from East Brigdew ter with his carpet bag and bumber shoot and settled down to be a dyer. The only reason he came was that he had just finished living down the mistakes he had made previously and wanted to make another. However, he was disappointed and has made a good showing in- stead. That look of a martyr is something he has acquired from rooming with Bailey. WALTER JAMES BAILEY on Alembic 2, 3 Football Manager 3 Basketball 2 Show 1 Track 1, 2 When Walter came to Textile his motto was, Life is one big rough-house, and he has lived up to it, but he is always good natured and enjoys nothing better than giving Adams a little battle before bed. He is one of our Basketball stars and did a mighty good stunt as manager of Football so his little motto worked for the best. The super who refuses him a job, will have his hands full for a few minutes. 31 THE PICK OUT 1911 ELLIOTT FRANCIS CAMERON ( i Alembic -■. .s I ilee I lub .? Show 3 When amy was a little boj li - used to watch his mother using Diamond Dyes on her casl Iressos to make his little panties, and before long he decided to be i big dyer himself, and bj the looks of things, he will lo it. Mosl anj noon you will Find him juggling the Blacks and Reds on the bis table in In Students ' Room. PROCTOR RALPH CHANDLER Vlembic -• Glee Clu! 2 Show -■ No, little boy, .ill don ' t have horns and a beard. However, as a class, no on has gol our Chandler yet. He is partial to school teachers and if there is one in at dinner he will dress up in his besl in her honor. The citj in which he works is bound to loose one of its besl teachers to teach the little Chandlers. LESTER BURY CHISHOLM -I- ( II is Cotton Club, i. 2, 3 Show, i Editor Pickout, . This. the shining lighl of the cotton department, comes in every morning from Melrose Highlands, i he metropolis of the plains, and it makes little difference how late the train is. i his is always the first of the bunch to arrive at school. Chis -lands a good show of getting the cotton medal, in as much as he is the only true aspirant for the honor, but if there were a score. Chis would be first among the ten thousand. The fun and frolic, the knocks and boosts, in this book- are due to Chisholm ' s ability to hustle and obtain the things he sees that are worth while. Some will want to scalp him, others will want to praise him, but all will give him the credit due for the hard work he has put in on the book we call Pickout. 32 THE PICKOUT 1911 JOHN HOLLAND CULVER Alembic 3 John joined us from the sedate town of Groton. The city life soon found many visits down town. John has acquired the bluff habit which has led him into more than one mixup. He is always ready to start something and whereever he is present there is sure to be roughhouse going on. John is very popular among the ladies and we are sure his smile will be missed. We expect that he will be water-proof by the time he graduates. MAURICE WILLIAM DEWEY count on Rams 2, 3 Athletic Council 1 Football 1 Show 2, 3 The latter half of the before and after advertisement. For size, capacity, and good nature, Count has them all tied to the pole. As a worker, he can ' t be beat. He is an authority on all questions of condition, length of staple, draft, and is always a dispenser of useful knowledge. Count expects to revolutionize certain branches of the woolen business in Vermont after next June. PAUL FRANKLIN ESTEY Alembic 3 Class Baseball 2 Glee Club 1-3 Show 1-3 We don ' t know much about Gardner, in fact no one ever seems to have ever heard of it, but according to this loyal sup- porter of that lonesome hamlet, it is quite a town for the fair sex. At any rate, he has a good weather eye and a good deal of discrimination. He belongs to the Fibre Stainers and is doing pretty well at that. 33 THE PICK OUT 1911 GORDON BAYLIES ELLIOTT uo SIMl Rams 2, 3 Class President _-, 3 Show 2, 3 Glee Club 2, 3 Sime, as he is known to the fellows, came to seek the higher education from the pastoral scenes of Grafton. He has taken a great interest in the wool and worsted course and has hopes of some day making it a four years ' course. Although a class president for two years, Sime has long been an advo- cate of equal sufferage for women. However, he ' s a good loyal son of Textile, and he ' s always had her best interests at heart. THOMAS PATRICK FLYNN A K I Basketball I, 2 Alembic 2, 3 Class Basketball 1, 2 Now. really, doesn ' t he look as if he could play basketball? Well, he can, and play it well, besides. He came in from Fitchburg, Hi didn ' t say much, in fact he said verj little, but all of a sudden he was there, and he always will be, when there is anything in the Chcm. line to be done. EDGAR ROBINSON FORD Class Baseball 1, 2 Track 2 Alembic 2, 3 Ed ' s chief asset is his athletic build which he delights in showing by appearing in the role of a basketball player. During his Senior year, Ed took up the duties of leader of the commutors and under his watchful eye the morning salute to the laundry ' is never omitted. Although popular with the young ladies on the train, Ed never lets that interfere with a card game. As an exponent of Spicketville, we condole with him. 34 THE PICKOUT 1911 FRANK WILLIAM GAINEY frank ' Alembic, i, 2, 3 Alembic President, 3 Gainey is just the right name for this boy. He is the chem shark and if there is anything in the line of scholastic attain- ment which he cannot gain we have yet to learn of it. One fateful day, on the train he was caught casting sidelong glances at one of the Normal School girls, but he suffered considerably with his conscience during the next few days, and we feel sure that he will not let it happen again. ERNEST CRAWFORD HAY $ ernie Rams, 2, 3 Track 1, 2 Basketball, 1 Ernie came to us from Amherst, where he had a record as a sprinter, but at Textile he gave up athletics, soon after his freshman year, and became a wool shark. This record he has held throughout his entire course. ' Tis rumored that Ernie once gave a toast to L. T. S., which sounded like this, All for self, and none for thee, and this somewhat selfish spirit has cropped out again and again, during the three years he has been with us. A wit is he, and his provision for our entertainment, by bright remarks, during Perk ' s sleepy lectures, has been more than greatly appreciated. WALTER ALEXANDER HENDRICKSON ' HENDY Track 2, 3 Rams 1, 2, 3 Look at that smile. That ' s not a look pleasant, please, smile either. It ' s the genuine article and he always has it with him. When it comes to geod nature, Hendy is the old original Billiken. Just tickle his toes and see him grin. He can string a tennis racquet to Beals Wright ' s taste, but when it comes to stringing a girl he ' s among the missing. But he ' s a good steady worker and he is bound to succeed in his chosen line. 35 THE PICK OUT 1911 RALPH KING IH ' HBARD A K $ Alembic - . 3 The only tiling thai Norwood brings to mind is a big cemetery, but when Hubbard came to Textile he left the ceme- terj and all that goes with it at home. He is very much alive and carries a little grin to prove it. Someone saiil he was cheeky, well, perhaps. Nevertheless he is a Chem. shark, and it is said In- once passed in a sheet of samples that he did all himself. Well, perhaps. JOHN HORACE HUNTON JACK Rams, . ' . 3 Vssistant Manager Track, 3 Manager Track, 3 Turkej Club, 3 t hairman Inter Fral Smoker, 3 Class Football, 1 Basketball, 1 Associate Editor Pickout, 3 Business Manager Show. 3 From the land of the fir tree and the north wind came our silent friend lack. As silently as he came, so silently has he moved about us from daj to day. His works though have been mighty, and his record good. He is liked and honored by all who know him. One weakness he has. and that to argue; either right or wrong our New Hampshire brother holds fast to his con- victions and long. Be careful Jack, lest at some time you get into one of your hold on a minute debates with your superior officer and you lose your job. CHARLES HARRISON JACK Engineering Society 1, 2, 3 Jack came to us from Manchester, and at once won our respect and good will by his good nature and quiet habits. He is a great tinker and most any time you will see him in the Machine Shop tinkering at something or other. He gets along with Perk and that is one big mark in his favor. Did you ever notice how the Freshmen call him Mr. Jack? We don ' t blame them, he looks it. The picture is not good because you can see a little hair. 36 THE t ICkOUT 1911 JOHN NICHOLAS HODECKER AK £ JOHN Alembic 2, 3 Show 1 See this boy? Well, he ' s a good one. He doesn ' t say much, but when Textile needs a good loyal supporter, he is right to the front. Everyone has a good deal of respect for John, and it is rightfully placed. He doesn ' t run after the girls in Lowell much, but if he does he does it in a mighty quiet way. We ' ve never been told so, but we think he ' s in love. Captain Football 2, 3 Baseball 1, 2, 3 Athletic Council 2, 3 ROSWELL CLIFFORD JEFFERSON AK$ jeff Football 1, 2, 3 Basketball 1, 2 Orchestra 1, 3 Track 1, 2 Did you ever notice that those fellows who say the least are the fellows that do things? Well, Jeff is one of that kind, and he certainly does things, too. He is our best athlete, and the mainstay of our athletic activities, and his untiring efforts to give us a good team have been the same from the day of his entrance into Textile. Girls can ' t play football, so he has little use for them, but if they did, our Jeff would be up in his toes after them all the time. He ' s just the same in his studies and he will make a successful chemist some day. DAN EARL KING Engineering Society, 2, 3 Dan comes to us from Norwich. He was in an army once and when the general wanted them to stop he would say, Company, halt. King, whoa. He rooms with Edmunds and takes good care of him for Edmunds is a good kid. When he graduates (time not stated) he expects to get a job tightening up the nuts on a peanut tree. 37 THE PICKOIT 1911 HARRY WARREN MARTIN on MART Membic 2, 3 Track 1 ( lass ice President _• Here ' s our married man. We don ' l blame you, Mart, and here ' s hick to you. It is rumoured thai a desk lias been re- served in the dy lab Eor 1931. Semi him along, Mari, they will I glad I sir him. However, Mart is a good Conscientious worker and with his added incentive, he is bound to succeed, and e will he K ' a( l to see it. HAROLD WEBB MARLAND Engineering Society 1, 2, 3 Ohl no. thai Fellow is not the warden, thai is an old hrake- man ' s hat Ik- has on. VTou see, be gol it Working on the Kail- l, and as 1 ht rude boys often throw little things, such as rocks, Cans and vegetables at him, it serves as a sort of armour or protection for his head lie is one of Perk ' s prodigies, and when he graduates, the railroad will get a yood l.rakeman. ALLAN BLANCHARD MERRILL Alembic 2, 3 Track 1, 2 Basketball 2 Merrill is one of those model youths whom it is perfectly safe to follow and considering that he came from Lynn, his virtue is all the more commendable. Once in a while he doe3 let loose, but usually he is plugging away and by the looks of things he will someday make a big hit as a chemist. THE PICKOUT 1911 JAMES ARCHIBALD MIDDLETON mid Football i, 2 Class Vice-President i Track i, 2 Mid is one of our old stand-bys in Football and he is a good one, too. When there is a dance, you can find him trip- ping the light fantastic until dawn, and his card is always full of the best lookers, at that. When he g ets his card , it, also is full of those good looking c ' s . KARL REMICK MOORE ' piker ' 1 Alembic 2, 3 Turkey Club 2,3 Piker has a faculty of getting by and many a good bluff he works during a day. He believes in, Let the other fellow do it. He has a good following among the fair sex, and when it comes to those fancy little things as big as a pencil and of many colors, he knows all about them. But he ' s a good fellow and if he can keep his bluff faculty working he is bound to do well. JOSEPH PRICE MORRIS ABE Glee Club, 1, 2, 3 Turkey Club, 1, 2, 3 Show Com., 1, 2 Show, 1, 2, 3 Society of Designers, 2, 3 iMica, the home of the Globe Woolen Mills, of which we have heard so much, claim Abe as one of its worthy sons. Abe has done much toward keeping up ( ?) the tone of social life at Textile, and his engagements have been numerous. These engagements, however, have not interfered with his school work ( ?) and his lessons in French down in Little Canada have helped him greatly in his daily preparation of that study. J. Price is an artist, famous for his pencil sketches ; the value of which may be better placed, by those who have had the pleasure of seeing them. Cheer up Abe, good designers are scarce and the textile worker needs you. 39 THE PICKOUT 1911 HOWARD HAINES MURPHY Engineering Society - .? Track 2, 3 Murphj is an all-around track man, and when it comes to rowing, he can pull an oar with the besl of them. The picture does 1 1  1 look natural because his mustache does not show. IK is I ' crk ' s right hand man, and is the nearest approach to a regular Engineer in the ( lass. He is one of the few that know when tn Stud} and when to play. ALFRED HENRY PEARSON Alembic -. ' . .i State of Maine Club 1, 2, 3 Pearson blew in from Way down Maine, and brought with him a good supply of good nature and countrj ways. He soon became citified, and we understand that he knows a few •_; i r 1 s . Inn no particular one. When asked if be didn ' t go to a certain dance, lie had no flame, be said, Oh ! yes, a flame, but 11 • fuel. But some da lu- will have the fuel and have it to burn, too. FRED THOMAS PHILLIPS ' flip ' Basketball 1, 2, 3 Alembic 2, 3 Baseball 1, 2, 3 Flip is one of our athletic stars, winning his T in baseball and basketball. He is a funny fellow and if you want to hear a story told well, just listen to him when he ' s in the mood. He has a way of making dates for the Fletcher Street Bridge near the Laundry, and when there is a fight on, he is always on hand. 40 THE PICKOUT I9il EVERETT BLAINE RICH richie Glee Club i, 2, 3 Show 1 ,2, 3 Assistant Stage Manager Show 1 Turkey Club 1, 2, 3 Stage Manager Show 2, Up Stream Committee 1, 3 Society of Designers 2, 3 President Athletic Asso. 3 Assistant Manager Baseball 2 Manager Baseball 3 Business Manager Pickout Richie, who first started his Textile career as shepherd of a little flock in Tackuck left his home in Worcester to gain further knowledge of the textile trade in L. T. S. We first hear of him pulling the wool over the eyes of the students by selling them banners and what-nots, then, he joined the Glee Club that we might hear (of) him still more. He, no doubt, made his own name his motto by writing it backwards, Rich B. Ever- it. The honored places he has filled will show for itself the success he has gained at L. T. S. Just are his rewards, for he has taken active interest in Textile, has been a conscientious worker, and is an honored man of the class of 191 1. May suc- cess crown your life ' s work. LEON WILLIAM SIDEBOTTOM sidey Alembic 2, 3 When it comes to studies, Sidey is the best yet. He gets nothing but H ' s but he deserves them. For he is a plugger and a good steady worker and when he gets out, someone will have to hustle to hold his job. He kind of likes the girls, but he don ' t bother them much, neither do they bother him much. You will find him any noon hour either sitting in or starting a rough-house with Jeff , and Jeff has quite a prop- osition on his hands at that. CLARENCE EDMUND SIGNOR sig Alembic 2, 3 Look at that face! Isn ' t it angelic? Well, that is Sig, our church man. Every Sunday you will find him, all togge3 out, going to meeting. We think there must be some other attraction other than psalm singing for he seldom misses. He also is the leader of the so-called Silk Men. 41 THE PICKOUT 1911 JOHN CARVER STANDISH A K Alembic - 3 Football 2 When Standish was leaving Eor Textile, the thoughts of leaving his home in Digbton made his flesh creep, and before long )u- crept inlci Textile and lie hasn ' t speeded up any since lie has been lure, lie hasn ' t much use for the nirls but he is not what you would call a woman hater. He tends strictly to business and gets there. He was a Football star and won his •• l in the fray. JOSEPH BLAKE TIIAXTER, Jr. .], $ JO] Rams -•, 3 Show 1, 2, 3, Baseball - ' . 3 Pickout Board 2, 3 t aptain Baseball 3 Turkey Club 2, 3 When J ' o ' de Tax came to us from the still and quiet of tiingham, we hardly imagined we had among us the noisiest backstop and loudest coon-shouter the South Shore ever pro- duced. Joe Blake is very promising socially and is a weekly 1 - 1 1 or to the Hub. Barker et als are laying snares to befoggle his yeuthful wool course aspirant. REGINALD ALEXANDER TOSHACH REGGIE Rams, 1, 2, 3 Reginald A. Toshach hails from Well, he claims Haverhill, but there is a doubt, for the farm is nearer Methuen. Originally, he was a Westener and when it comes to Western Yarns R. A. T. holds an undisputed record. Although even now an expert on corn husking, the pride of Methuen is ambitious and some day expects to be able to distinguish wool from cotton. Incidently, another pet am- bition of the aforesaid Reggie is to show up the fools who take the Chem. Course. 42 THE PICKOUT 1911 HARRISON MORTON WILLIAMS Rams 2, 3 Glee Club 3 As a rule the Haverhill centingient is a motley mob, but Williams is in a class by himself. Me doesn ' t follow the usually Haverhillian custom of commuting, but stays right on the scene of activity. He is something of a hunter, and the two deer he bagged in the fall were good ones. He also goes hunting on Merrimac Street, and if they don ' t look out, some the the little dears from the Laundry will be «aptured. He soon will be hunting for a job in the wool trade and he will get one. ERNEST HADLEY WOOD on woody Alembic 2, 3 Track 2 Woody left us last year, but he couldn ' t stay away long so he came back. He is going to graduate this year, but we wouldn ' t be surprised to see him turn up again before long either as a Prof, or for a P. G. because just as soon as he gets away he gets lonesome, and has to come back again. He always has that good natured smile and pleasant word with him which makes him so well liked by everyone. Someone has said that he has an Only One . Shouldn ' t wonder a bit. 43 NAM 1 . i i S, Ik m ADDISON, OH Bailey,, Walter James, 1 1 J! lai mi.. Howard M i .i , $ J Bh v.

This lasted but a very short while on account of the increasing strength of 1912 as it became organized. Not long after this, 1911 opened its eyes one fine, cold morning, to see a nice new coat of 1912 numerals painted on the rocks. Several times they were changed, only to come back stronger each time, until one sad day a member of 1911, to show his class spirit (?), engaged the services of a twelve-year-old to paint over our numerals. Needless to state that, with the exception of a few the youngster couldn ' t reach, the numerals remained the same until the class of 1913 arrived and endeavored to establish their identity. The class of 1913 so far have shown very little spirit towards painting the rocks; once only have they exerted themselves, which immediately went for naught, as the bright 1912 of our class appeared at once upon the scene. Our annual interclass day proved a grand success, every- one concerned turning out and doing their share towards making it what it was. The only thing that marred the day was the general attitude of the Seniors in siding with the Freshmen. Their duty was to be neutral and marshal the events so that things would run smoothly. In fairness to some of the Seniors, our class feels that many did their duty and that mighty well. Remember, 1912, that next year we are the marshals and it is up to us to be neutral in order that everything should be run off properly. On April 12th, 1910, we held our Freshman banquet. Considering it from all sides it was a fine success, nearly 49 the pick or i 1 «) 1 i every man in the class being present to uphold ils honor. The banquet itself was enjoyed lo the utmost, as were also the speakers, who showed the true 1912 spirit. From now on we hope to see the class banquets an annual event as they do much towards bringing the members closer to one another so that they can realize that there are just as good fellows outside their own crowd as there are in it. One thing can he said of 1912, that is not true of every class that has entered Textile: to the ell ' eel lli.it we have unity and immense amount of class spirit. Every man turns out to tin- meetings and stands by his class to the best of his ability. The spirit, thai was brought forth by a certain odor in our Industrial History, is certainly commendable. Do not forgel that in unity there is strength and Unit on Unit must depend our strength ;is a ehiss in Textile. There is a plan already started which will eventually establish a permanent set of Freshman laws. When the classes decide mi them every man in the school must do his hest to see that they are carried out to the best of his ability.

This is the spirit of the class of 1913, and from all appearances it seems to be the only live spirit in the school, and it will always be so while we, the Freshman class, are behind it. Shortly after our arrival in Lowell, we were politely invited by the illustrious class of 1912 to a reception to be held at Scharf ' s Hall. But it was not what we expected from this superior class. In part it was farce. The next morning we were up bright and early with glad rags on, anxious to enter upon our duties. At our first glimpse of the school, we were impressed by the magnitude of its buildings and the completeness of its equipment. We were assembled in the Main Hall, and addressed by Mr. Eames, and given some pamphlets which contained an outline of our work and a little (?) advice as to how to spend our money, which we did. H. A. Dunning of the Sophomore class called us together and the officers were elected, Doc Madden taking the chair. Our first step was to defie the whole school by exhibiting before their eyes, on the rocks of the Merrimack River, the numerals of the class. We are glad to say the Sophomores recognized us as a class by contesting our rights to the rocks. Although we were surprised by the announcement of a class football game, to be followed by a class rush, we were by no means scared. As to the game, we give due credit to the Sophs. But in the rush we showed them that we were still there, and then some. 57 T II E P I C K U T 19 11 Perhaps we were most impressed by the different attitudes of the instructors. Our courses ranged from a gigantic course in Mechanism to a recreation course in English, which latter consisted in the reading of a series of ten-cent classics. Our banquet was held at the Waverlev Hotel, February 6th, 1911, and was our first class meeting in the bonds of fellowship. i And by this bond of good fellowship will we stand through the years that are to come and go.

Clank! Clank! Down through the ages from our pre-historic cliff-dwelling ancestors conies a strain which crops out in this, our present generation. Mother Textile ' s features are illumined with a smile of joy as she gazes proudly at her nineteen IRON SONS. For they are different, so very different from the common type of humans that many good authorities stoutly assert that they are not human at all, but that they are prototypes of a race of beings which existed many centuries before the Celestial Engineering corps ever staked out the Garden of Eden. Indeed, the theory has been advanced that Vulcan, the Boss Machinist of Olympus, who forged the thunderbolts for Jove, being, during the noon hour, in a merry mood, moulded the ancestors of these same indi- viduals from cast iron, and breathed into their nostrils the breath of life. But since we are not authority on archaeology, we will not attempt to prove or disprove these theories, but will leave them as open arguments. Now concerning their manner of living. They have chosen, according to the custom of primitive races, the tallest, strong- est, and bravest of their number for their leader. He is known to them as Big Chief Magnesium Steel. Thrice each day he leads his band to their refreshment. Let us inspect the menu of their mid-day meal. We see placed before each one a soup plate containing cylinder oil. This they partake of with apparent relish. Next comes the meat course. Instead of eating beef, pork, or lamb, we see that they have a strong liking for the flesh of horses, and they only eat such portions as the hide, hair, hoofs, and bones. The dessert, which is usually a dish of Albany grease, brings the meal to a close, and in a short time they are again toiling with us at the school. If one were to ask us our opinion of these phenomena, we would answer this. That we believe what certain medical gentlemen have told us, namely, that if it were possible to get a cross section of one of these men, that his department of the interior would resemble very closely in material and con- struction that of a modern fire tube boiler. 103 tlli 0 m Uoll of Skilk iflrn or atufiuot i?in (Jim UoatU) present 1 .

There are a number of reasons it might be laid to. Most of the students are here to work and are not inclined particularly toward athletics, especially those which demand niueli energy, practice, and time. The school session is very long, and little practice can be got from a man who is in school till I. . ' So. and then it ' s dark at 5.15. The student body is very scattered; not even the social advantage of a common hoarding-place unites them. Little admission can be collected at games, and the Athletic Association is not well enough organized to support athletics as they should be. Not all the students belong, and the majority of those who do, get little in return for their money. Football in most places tills the treasury and supports the non-paying branches of athletics. Here, because of a lack of a fenced field and successful team, it does not pay its way. There might he much said aboul the conditions under which we try to carry on football here. The schedule as arranged lasl fall was enough to swamp any team. We all know that football is harder than any other sport upon the endurance. It strains and tears fearfully upon the man who is not in fine physical condition; yet here no account was taken of it. No practice season was allowed, no chance to learn plays and signals, nor team work. The first game scheduled was a week before school opened. This absolutely had to be cancelled. Only three men could have been found to play. 106 THEPICKOUT 1911 The next game was scheduled the day after school opened, and this was the very hardest team on the whole schedule. The day before the game seven men were out for practice. The next day four men played who had not touched a foot- ball that season, nor did they know anything about the new rules. Textile was defeated over 40 to 0. The men were terribly battered up. The next game came four days later, with dishing. The men had not recovered from their first game, and were in no shape to play. They played, however, and were beaten over 50 to 0. From then on followed two games a week almost without a break. The practice was not anything what is should have been between the games. A game on Saturday would do the men up so that no work could be done on Monday. Tuesday was signal practice and no chance to try plays from an offensive standpoint, for a game came Wednesday. Thursday the men were given a rest, and Friday signal practice and drill on plays, and Saturday a game. Two hard games of football a week is something no college or prep school in the country would attempt, and why not? They can ' t stand it, even where the conditions for practice and perfect conditioning of the men is possible. Nor do they ever take on their schedule at the very first of the season a team far their superior, nor even their equal if they can help it. They grade their work ana games according to the amount of practice and the condition of the men. It is considered by some that it is better to play good teams and be beaten than to play poor teams and win. Two or three such games might be played in the middle or last of the season, but never at the start; they do infinitely more harm than good. If you can ' t get them on the schedule except at the start, don ' t take them. Develop a team fit to cope with them, and soon they will give you a better date. Go out after games early enough and you can get your own dates. If you go early enough, there are very few games scheduled from year to year on the same date, and it saves 107 THE PICKOIT 1911 a manager time and trouble to give you the date you ask it he has it open, rather than try to lilt it. Harvard would not think of playing a game without at least two weeks ' prepara- tion; then she never tackles anything supposed to be her equal. And when does her hardest game come? Andover never plays Exeter the first game, nor does she even play a game the day after school opens. Yel Textile disregards the example of far older schools than she, where conditions are much heller. No wonder football has never been a success here. While to win is not lln whole thing, still to be a success a team should win hall ' its games, or not be judged by the standards of success today. Our present system of running football not having been a success, why not start over again? Develop a team, then plaj onl) teams of equal strength at the start, and never more than one a week. That will leave plenty of lime lor all tin necessary practice between games, and before long we shall have a team which will be able to cope with any of an equal weight. Class football has been started and it is hoped that this may in time help build up the varsity team. At tin ' end of the outdoor season the Freshmen were required to take Physical Culture once a week. Bach Fresh- man was given a physical examination and given all-round work in the gymnasium. The course is not complete, and is this year only a preparation for what is to follow. Some indoor track work is carried on in addition to the ealisthcni ' - and gymnastic work. Basketball was dropped this year, because it was not patronized. Next year if there is sentiment enough for it. it may be resumed. The game has had an oil year in all institutions. Next year it may brighten up. An indoor track meet for the Freshmen is to be held the last part of the indoor season to establish and post the records made in the various events, such as high jump, broad jump. hurdles, 75-yard sprint, potato race, shot-put, etc. Baseball is on the way and it is expected that a good team will be turned out. 108 LTSj ©fficer£ Everett B.

Although full of disappointment, il was successful successful, not because of the victories, hut because it had mastered many hard difficulties. At first there was hut little material from which to develop a team, and poor support by the school by non-attendance and lack of interest hindered, but alter a rousing mass meeting of the Athletic Association, greater interest was shown. After the team started its season, the players received injuries which kept them from games, and consequently a substituted team. 114 THE PICKOUT 1911 The hardest blow to the success of the team was the injury to Captain Jeffer son, which kept him from playing the remainder of the season. Not too much credit can be given Captain Jefferson for his loyalty to Textile, for his coaching of the team and interest shown. The loss of Jefferson by graduation in June will be largely felt, for he is one of the best athletes that Textile has had. In football, a gritty player, playing a fast game and always a good ground gainer. All members of the team deserve credit for the con- scientious work they put in towards the success of the team. Zobel played a good, consistent game, playing all but one, and well deserves captaincy for 1911. He is strong, plays his men well and has good staying power. McDuff, who acted captain most of the season, ran his team well. He was a good drop-kicker, and a hard line- plunger. Johnson was a gritty man and played a fast game. He is heavy and made his weight count in opening up holes and tackling. Smith made a very speedy back, with plenty of sand and staying power. He could be depended upon to play a good game in the back field. Middleton, ' 11, and Harding, ' 13, who did not play enough games to make their T ' s, played excellent games, especially in the last game, when they both contributed largely towards the victory. Aspinwall, a veteran at the game, proved a fast man in the back field. He was always a good ground gainer, his weight counting greatly. His injury in one of the games was a big loss to the team. Hodecker, Kelsey, Crane, Leffingwell, Thompson and McCleary made up a line that was hard to break through. Each played hard games, and could be depended upon to do their share, either on the defensive or offensive. Manager Bailey arranged a good sched ule, consisting of some of the smaller college and fast high school teams. 115 THE PICKOUT 1911 mztMl 1910 When Captain Gale called the roll of the previous year ' s team, he found but one man missing. In the absence of 1st baseman McGowan, we lost a clever infielder and a hard hit- ter. His absence was keenly felt, but brought about the ap- pearance of Busty North who filled the position to per- fection. With the former team intact Math but one exception, the season gave promise of being very successful, and this was in a great measure fulfilled by the results at the close of June. This was the first year that the base-ball team has had ihe benefit of professional coaching. At the beginning of the season, Dan. F. McMahon was secured, and in him the team found a man of sterling qualities, both as a coach and as a friend. At first, the men did not realize his worth, and were somewhat lax in their attendance at practice, but the word was soon passed that the new coach was there to play the game with them and not against them, which caused a ready enthusiasm among the players. They have learned to look to Dan. McMahon for advice and not for criticism. The schedule called for eleven games. Textile was suc- cessful in seven of the games played. The season was marked for clean sport and keen rivalry in the games. In losing to Exeter, the team had the satisfaction of playing the hardest game that the Red and White have won in many a day. In the game with Lowell N. E. League, the team exhibited a bad case of stage fright and were badly beaten. Gushing and Worcester Acad emies were the only other defeats. The Lowell High School was given an afternoon ' s lesson in the National game, but Textile lost no effort to score, as is shown by the result. The season ended by a trip to Manchester, where un- accompanied by the coach, whose presence always was an 7 THE P I CKO IT 1 91 1 incentive, the team returned with the last scalp neatly tucked away. The 1911 baseball season will soon open. We are Looking forward to the first warm days when we can answer the cheery call, Play Ball. This coming season we will miss the ser- vices of ex-Capt. Gale, North, Hardy. Nichols, and Jim Murray. Jim Murray, we shall always remember, lor to him, with his dependable spirit, was due. the victory of many a ha rd-f ought game. The result of the season has proven the worth of a coach, and such a coach as Dan McMahon. We shall have him with us again this coming season and with his loyal work. Textile should be able to turn out as strong a hitting team as she has ever had upon the diamond. It is hoped thai tin coming season will find the student body more loyal to their representatives in Baseball than ever before. The team looks forward to the encouragement of the school behind them. Lit every man be on the campus for the first game to cheer Dan McMahon and his 1 ( .)1 1 team to another victorious year for Textile. rlKtmlc, 10 10 L.T.S. Opp. Sat.

Thanks to Mr. Stewart and the Class Presid- dents, it was well planned. Every man that participated felt that he had done his part in upholding his class, and that he had one of the best times in his life always to look back upon. Now it behooves every man in this school to turn out on this one day of the year and support his class. Field Day from now on is an established day in the records of Textile and from year to year it is going to be improved by the addition of new events, as relay teams, tug of war teams, etc. With the new athletic field that ve are to have shortly, our future in athletics promises well. But, remember that unless every man in Textile supports his class, by doing which he supports the school, he should look on himself as a quitter and that others regard him as one.

Encouraged and assisted liberally by the state, the City of Lowell and the donations of private interests, it has developed in a few years from small beginnings into an institution well equipped for the imparting of a liberal textile training. It has not been an easy task to establish such an institution upon the substantial basis on which it now stands. It has required years of persevering effort and wise management on the part of those who, from the beginning have had it in charge, but the results of their efforts are commencing to show. Many of its graduates in important positions which they have been called upon to fill are making their impress upon the industry, reflected in improved methods of manufacture, greater skill in textile manipulation, more scientific and systematic methods of operation, more accuracy in attaining desired results, a greater elimination of waste, and more conservation of material resources. It is not in the function of any institution, however, to make brains. It is the province of the school to draw out and train what there is in the student. This implies a willing- ness and desire on the part of the student to avail himself of all the opportunities and facilities which the school affords. Without the ready acquiescence and eagerness, indeed, on the part of the student to secure for his own good the benefits which the school can confer, it would fail in its purpose. It is an axiom that seed sown upon stony soil will not fructify. The student must do his part. He should be actuated not only by a sense of duty to himself and those who have made it possible to acquire the technical training which the school 131 THE PICKOl ' T 1911 bestows, bul also by a sense of gratitude to the institution whose training may become so valuable to himself. It has been only within a few years thai such a training could have been secured in the Slate under such favorable auspices. We cannot conceive how any well-intentioned student can have any other than a feeling of the deepest gratitude towards the School. The student should always be loyal, therefore, to its interests, and endeavor, so far as in him lies, to advance its best interests. Athletics It is no longer a debatable question ;is to the value of athletics in any educational training which a student may acquire. Physical as well as mental development should proceed hand in hand. Properly directed, the one is helpful to the other. The truth of this statement is more apparent today than ever before. Modern methods of doing business are strenuous and more wearing than they were a generation ago. This is true, whether the business be in the mills or out of them. Competition is keen and to attain success demands the continuous exercise of one ' s best faculties. The struggle for supremacy is frequently exhausting; it requires the exercise of all that is best in a man. A good physique, or the ability to stand physical as well as mental strain is needed for the conducting of a successful textile establish- ment today. May there be. therefore, no diminution of interest on the part of the student in all legitimate athletic sports. Those who are using their efforts to promote athletics should receive every possible encouragement from every student. Enthusiasm in athletics should increase. Those who go into training for baseball, football or basketball, or track teams should be backed up by their fellow-students. Let them be cheered on by the presence of the student body at such contests as are waged by the School teams against those of other institutions. Those who are not equipped or fitted to belong to the teams can at least do their part in accompanying them to the scene of battle and inciting their i3 2 THE PICK OUT 1911 representatives by their enthusiasm to do their best. The good athletes among the students should go out for the teams. Personal or partisan animosities should be buried in the common cause. Practice should be begun early and persist- ently pursued, and should not be done in any half-hearted way. The men should go in to win and their fellow students can, and we believe will, do a great deal to help them in the ways indicated. In this connection it is gratifying to know that a movement is on foot to enlarge the campus and athletic grounds and to provide a building which will afford enlarged facilities and equipment for gymnasium work, including a swimming tank, lockers, etc. This is a move in the right direction and it is to be hoped that substantial assistance will be forthcoming for such worthy purposes. The Future of the Student The future of the School student is, of course, the prime consideration. This is ever in the student ' s mind if he is here for really serious work. The School is not a place where a young man may simply while away three years of his life in a lackadaisical way, intent only upon promoting the social side of his nature, or idling away his time in questionable pastimes and dissipation. He comes here to acquire a funda- mental technical knowledge which shall assist him in making his way in the world in a vocation which is full of hard work and which requires painstaking effort, precise knowledge and a scientific and practical application of that knowledge. Anything which diverts his interest from that one great object, or impairs in any way his innate ability is to be avoided. His future success may not depend wholly upon his attainment of high marks in the school, but it will depend upon his power of application, which it is one of the purposes of the School to intensify, the accuracy of his methods in surmounting obstacles, the facility with which he can apply himself to the solution of intricate problems, his readiness in adapting himself to existing conditions, and his power of initiative, that power of originat- i33 THE PICK OUT Mill ing and putting into practice such courses of procedure as the conditions may require. Having these considerations before him, the Textile student who is alive to the importance of the subject will be quick to avail himself of such opportunities as presenl them- selves which are calculated to develop these traits of mind. It is possible the cultivation of the imaginative faculty is not given a sufficiently prominent place in the curriculum, hut the creative ability is fully as important in the textile industry as the reproductive. The power if imitation along right lines should he strengthened and cultivated. Men of ideas, of original conceptions, and men who do things are in demand the world over, and there is no calling in which they are in greater demand than in the textile industry. The student who has made a righl use of the privileges and opportunities afforded him and who possesses the right kind of mentality should succeed when he enters upon his life ' s work. He will not Fall into the Fatal mistake of ceasing to be a learner after lie has received his diploma or certificate of graduation. Mis record at the School alone will not sullicc to insure him success in life. Untiring assiduity of applica- tion, unfailing perseverance, and alertness of mind will be i ' ullv as requisite in the attainment of success in industry as they have been in the securing of school honors. The Textile student who has done thorough, honest work while in this school is prepared to take positions in various lines of work including the several processes of manufacture, and buying and selling of textile material and fabrics. There is a large held in which his acquirements should enable him to excel, hid the versatility of his knowl- edge alone will not insure his success without the ability to apply what he knows, and without the possession of the imaginative faculty, as indicated above. The Future of the School We have referred to the future of the Textile stud ent. A few words now in regard to the future of the school. It 134 THE PICKOUT 1911 is sure to develop into a greater institution than it is today, and as it does so, there will surely arise the need of increased equipment, enlarged facilities and of more in- structors. If this need is to be filled, increased financial resources will be necessary. The income from students ' payments for tuition, of course, falls far short of meeting the expenses of carrying on the work of the school. This source of income, indeed, can never be reckoned upon as being adequate to defray the cost of running the institution. There must be other increased sources of revenue. As we have said, the State, City, have been liberal in their appropriations for the school. Individual interests, also, have contributed with some freedom from time to time. But as the years pas s and the number of the alumni increases and as the latter attain prosperity and become more firmly established in their chosen calling, their sense of loyalty and gratitude toward their Alma Mater, and the justifiable pride which they should take in its success should, and, we believe will, stimulate them to give expression to these sentiments in substantial benefactions to the institution. The alumni may well take this matter into consideration and ere long organize some movement looking toward the accom- plishment of such a worthy purpose. It is desirable that the influence of the school should be widely extended and its advantages should be enjoyed by as many of those who desire a textile education as possible. Its benefits should not be confined to the well-to-do. Those who have not the means or who are not so situated that they can secure the support necessary to defray the expenses of tuition, ought not to be deprived of the opportunity to secure the advantages of a Textile training. There should be increased means of aiding the student in poor circumstances. Many of the large institutions of learning are endowed with scholarships, the income of which is devoted to the paymenl of the expenses of poor but meritorious students. By this means many a young and ambitious person has been enabled to acquire a college or university training and has subse- ts THE PICKOUT 1911 quently made good in return for the benefit which Ikis been received, being a credil to the community in which he lives as well as to himself. Our men of means in New England who are engaged in public welfare work can make no mistake in endowing a Textile school such ;is we have here, in a Liberal manner. We would like l see such scholarships established in a goodly number and we hope thai the I me is not far distant when they will he. l- ' n VI I.HMI II s Much has been written in this and other publications on the advantages as well as the disadvantages of fratern 1 es on the student life. There is no good institution which cannot by an abuse el ' ils opportunities he made detrimental to those who are a pail of it. The benefits accruing from fraternal organizations can he multiplied by the use winch can he made of one ' s membership therein. II is needless (o point out low this is done. We should regrel to see. how- ever, fraternal societies abolished, lor their advantages are obvious, and they should he supported and encouraged both by the student body and by the faculty. There is no danger that they will he done away with. They help the student and also the schoo l itself. The great benefit of membership in a fraternal society is that the student is broughl more closely into contact with many of his Fellow-students, thus more thoroughly experiencing the feeling of union with his co-workers, and benefitting vastly by the interchange of ideas, hopes, aspirations, and ambitions resulting therefrom. It also assists him in keeping in touch with men and things and exerts a broadening influence which cannot he other- wise than advantageous to himself. Hut when these same fraternities cause a student, who for any reason is not a member, to experience the feeling that he is not quite as good as the members thereof, they are doing a great harm, and it should be carefully avoided, On the whole our School is good and we are satisfied with it. 136 . HI; f TIIK PICKOIT 1911 Clas0 jfmcr €o the £tlti etlt OoD)i Low ii.i.. M vss., October 24, 1910 Dear Sir, As a member of the class of 1911 you arc informed thai there is a very general demand From the classes lor a permanent memorial on the grounds of the school. The char- acter of the soil being such that after considerable expenditure il is found thai permanenl trees cannol be assured, Following the example of Harvard and oilier colleges, it is proposed to make such memorial in class sections of an attractive fence around our grounds, future classes to add a section annually. The engineers have prepared a plan showing a six Foot, one inch refined, iron rod Fence, pointed al the top, in class sections, separated by an attractive tapestry brick column, each section bearing a plate with the number of the class contributing the cost of the section. As the work of assem bling the Fence will be done in our machine shop, it is found by close calculation thai a contribution of $1.50 from each class member will suffice to creel the fence. This is less than half the cost a contractor would charge. The responses to this proposition have so Far been very prompt, in Faci it has been received with much enthusiasm. It is desired thai every class be represented. Thai the number of the classes may appear in the work in their proper sequence, an early reply is hoped For. The Trustees in favoring this work wish it to be understood that there is nothing compulsory about this invitation. They simply desire to give the several classes an opportunity they are entitled to, to representation on our grounds by a permanent and fitting memorial, and are very much gratified at this indication of class pride and spirit. Contributions should be enclosed to the undersigned and will be promptly receipted for by Treasurer Pollard. Sincerely yours, JAMES T. SMITH, Trustee in Charge. 138 THE PICKOUT 1911 €o tf)e ftimm Lowell, Mass., Oct. 24, 1910. Dear Sir: In the matter of a class memorial fence in relation to which I invited an expression of opinion from several graduates, as there were some sixty responses earnestly favoring the project, I brought it to the attention of the Trustees at the meeting on Tuesday. They unanimously favored it and gave me full power to proceed, being much pleased at this indication of class pride. As now favored the fence will be about six feet high, of one inch, refined, pointed, iron-rods, properly stayed by cross bars, in sections of about 24 feet- separated by three- brick wide capped columns of what is known as tapestry resting on a granite base, each section bearing a plate with the number of the class contributing it. The drawing as prepared by Engineer Perkins is very much admired by tlv 1 pupils here. The cost has been carefully calculated and it is found that a contribution by each class member of $1.50 will meel the necessary expense, as much of the work of assembling the sections will be done in our shop. Contractors ask from $2.50 to $3.00 for the same fence. That I may keep the run of the contributions from day to day and preserve in permanent form the roll of con- tributors, I am instructed to request that contributions be mailed to me in the enclosed envelope. These, when registered, will be turned over to Treasurer Pollard who will receipt to the contributor direct, the fund being kept entirely separate from ot her school money. All members who entered for the several classes are invited to contribute. Very respectfully, JAMES T. SMITH, Trustee in Charge 139 rruB E gab II. Barker, Musical Director George T.

I should answer, I should tell you: — From the forests and the prairies, From the great hill of Mount Vernon, From the land of Wannalancit, From the land of the Pawtuckets, From the wigwams, tent, or tepee, Where the Iron men, the strong people, Feed among the oil and bear grease, Come the mighty men of Textile, Mighty Senior, Soph, and Freshman, To the annual meet of Upstream. If still further you sh ould ask me, Saying, What is this great day of Upstream. I should answer your inquiries, Straightway in such words as follows : — Near the quiet town of Lowell, In the green and silent valle} r , By the pleasant water-courses, Stands the village of Tyngsboro, And beyond it is the forest, Is the grove of singing pine trees, Spreading round the home of Upstream , With its pleasant field and wigwam, Where the mighty braves of Textile, Student, teacher, Fac and Trustee, In the morning, bright and early, Journey back again to Nature, Go aboard the Governor Allen, Mighty vessel of Gap. Prouty, i47 THE PICKOl ' T 1911 And his big brave, great Chief Onions, Puddle up the noble river, By the land of Tyng and Chelmsford, To the land of Martin Luther. To the pleasant land of Upstream, Take the trail through mighty forests, To the open field of Upstream. Here the chiefs, the great instructors, Have laid out the track and hurdles. For the deeds of mighty prowess. By the young men of all classes. Running, jumping, vaulting, hurdling, For the prize of Great Chief Sachem, ' Father of our school Athletics, Textile Smith, tin- man of wisdom. Then the hungry men of Textile, Grouped in classes, yelling, whooping, Take the trail to Lutlur ' s wigwam, There to cat the feed pi ovided. All the good things of the season. Soup and rolls, hot. fresh, delicious. Rich, m roast beef, ill prolusion. With potatoes, while and mealy. Cold meats, gravy, ice cream, coffee, Such a h-vi they never dreamed of. And the hungry men of Textile. Ate and ate. until the tables Had been cleared of all the good things. And with stomachs, lull and lumpy, Rested neath the shade of pine trees. Heavy with the heat and silence. Crew the afternoon of Summer; With a drowsy sound the forest Whispered round the sultry wigwam; With a sound of sleep, the water 148 THE PICKOUT 1911 Rippled on the beach below it. From the ball field came the summons, Came the call to deadly battle, And the instructors, clad in sad rags, Grappled with the tribe of Southwick, Fought for seven deadly innings, Fighting bravely, losing nobly, By the narrow margin of one run. Slowly o ' er the simmering landscape, Fell the evening ' s dusk and coolness, And the long and level sunbeams Shot their spears into the forest. Then the tired men of Textile, Once more trailed into the wigwam, Once more ate the feast provided, Cold ham, beans, fresh bread and coffee, Trailed unto the mighty vessel, And departing, left behind them, Mighty forests, pleasant Upstream, Filled with joy and happy memories. From the land of Martin Luther, Past the land of Tyng and Chelmsford, To the City of many spindles, To the famous home of Textile. Then they rose up and departed, Each one homeward to his wigwam; To the young men and the women, Told the story of our Upstream, Of the sail, the feeds, the brass band, And the many happy hours, Spent beneath the mighty forests, In the green and silent valley, In the grove of singing pine trees, In the land of Textile Upstream.

They turn oul nun there MEN — I mean, not crooks thai make their pile by taking the bread and milk from the babies, by selling gold bricks to their widowed mothers or reverend fathers. Never heard of it? Why, Sammy, your education has been sadly neglected. It ' s thai Textile School up in Lowell, and lake it from me there isn ' t a school in the stales that ' s gol anything on thai joint. Why, I ' ve known aboul thai place ever since I was hub high to a baby carriage. Now don ' t interrupt me, ol course I ' ve been there, and I ' m well acquainted with the whole hunch, and now if you guys will kindly keep your yaps shut for just aboul two seconds, and let me gel a word in edgewise now and then, I ' ll tell you all aboul their lay out. The way they treat a fellow up there would make this school look like a rainy Sunday. You see I ' d known about the place so long I sort of wanted to see it and really find out if all the almost impossible stories about their enormous equipment wore true. Just to get in right, I got old Prexie Burr to write me a little ' hello ' not e, and tell them I was all to the merry, and by the way, you ought to have seen the bells he tacked on that note, — some standing I ' ve got. 1 60 THE PICKOUT 1911 Well, I went up and, -- trouble in finding it? Well, hardly. Even the little French working girls who can ' t under- stand English knew what I meant when I said ' Textile School, ' and pointed up over the bridge without a bit of balking. Well, I got there, and say kid, there ' s some class to that stand. I butted in - - big as life, and collided with a big bruiser who said he was Professor Wilcox. I showed him my letter, and he called one of his assistants and told him to take me to the office. The poor kid thought I was some punkins, I guess, for he took me right into the main office a nd called the high card over. It was a dirty shame to bother him for he was awful busy there behind his desk counting the coin, --why, he had three or four girls working for him. I don ' t know what his official title is, but take it from me, he ' s ace high there all right, - takes care of the long green and sells the supplies, and runs the school straight. But he was pleasant enough about it, and said he guessed I wanted to see the Principle - same as our President, you know, only a different title. I took my letter and he showed me into another office, where he was. Now, of all the grand old granddads you ever saw, that Prex of theirs takes the cake. He sits over there by the window with a cigar in his fiz and strokes his beard, looking all the while at his feet which are where the papers belong - on his desk you know. They say he ' s always thinking up new ways of getting money out of the people for more build- ings. Well, I started over to him, big as a king, but when he motioned me over to his confidential secretary it took a reef in my sails. But I got over that quick enough, for you see he didn ' t know about my letter, and it would have been a shame for me to interrupt him if he was figureing out a new way of tapping the states ' pocket-book, for they really do need more room, — there isn ' t a square inch of space now that isn ' t occupied. Well, his secretary has a very soothing voice and is very pleasant, but he ' s out of place teaching school. The way he sort of glides around, and shows up when least wanted, and when not expected, say, guys, he ' d have Slippery Sam, Slick Sleuth, skim seventeen ways for Sunday. And you 161 TJIK PICKOl T 1911 oughl to hear the effusion of thai oily stuff he slips oul l a stranger; say I thought I could throw the hull souks but he docs it without even ;i rope mid never seems to notice it. You ' ve got to hand it to him for he even knows where every department in school is and knows all the side doors and hiding-places. When you go up there just ask lor Charlie and if the Prex can spare him you ' ll see the whole school. Why. he ' ll handle you as carefully as he would a hundred and fifty dollar note. ' ' Perhaps you ' d like to look around and see what we have here, he said. ' Well, 1 got on my party smile and we started, lie- took me into the Engineering offices, and, believe me, guys, those profs I saw in there look like good pals; the kind that will meet you on the basement floor and don ' t expect you to be hypocritical and treat them with the respect a Normalite says is due a pedagogue. One of the guys in there 162 THE PICK OUT 1911 was sitting like this with his feet up on his desk, pulling away at his briar and occasionally taking off his cloth lid to try and absorb some shark ' s proof for extracting the square root of minus one. It was all Greek to me, of course, but the way that fellow - - Loop they called him - de- livered the goods, he had the right dope all right. But, by the gods, the funniest thing happened just then. A little, big-eyed, nervous lad over in the corner jumped up, yelling ' I ' ve got it, I ' ve got it! ' Old Charlie snuck up to him and in a kind of whisper says, ' What, Herbie, a clue? ' ' No, ' he yelled, ' but look here, I ' ve proved the hysterisis curve by the graphical method and now I ' m due for my PhD. ' Well, Charlie didn ' t seem so elated, and almost drag- ging me out with a sort of apologetic look on his mug, says, ' Our Engienering department really isn ' t as practical as it should be, but it ' s a comparatively new course and we ' ll have it all right in another year. ' But just then I struck a place that made me think of home, sweet home. It was the knitting department, and I buts in there like a bat out of a gun. A little fellow in there shows us around and starts about half of the machines, but of the others he said, ' No they things will no run, but are here to demonstrate the gradual growth in knitting since the first machine over on you side that was built in 1310, to that over yun on the table, built by the Beverend Lamb in about 1620. ' We went on down through the cotton department and met a four-eyed prof, that is the goods all right. He has one of those soft, sympathetic, come-to-prayermeeting voices and I have a suspicion was a one-time preacher -you know nearly all the Textile machinery was invented by preachers. But if you ' re looking for trouble keep close away from that cotton department, for just as sure as I ' m here they ' ve got Terry McGovern tied out there. Work? Say, he was bossing those big machines around as easy as if he was simply throwing corncobs over the moon. Now, I ' ve seen him work, and while he ' s a little short, take a straight tip from me 163 T HE P I CKO IT 1911 and your last red on thai kid, for it ' s the one best bet, he ' s the while man ' s only hope. Bui we ItTi there and travelled through the weaving- room and through the Design department. You know I ' m nol very partial toward Dutchmen, bul they ' ve gol the real stein tosser up there. He ' s go1 the face and build, bul will have to put a little more money into thai bay window of his before he can compete with a guy by the name of Dewey thai I used to know. How in thunder they signed him I don ' t know, bul sure as I ' m a foot high, if il isn ' t him they ' ve gol the living image of the original, unadulterated, labelled trade-marked mull up there. I was about to ask him what he gol for posing for the pictures and the use of his name in the papers, bul he turned to a person behind him and says, ' Sister, have you gol those ends all drawn in yet? ' You could have knocked me over with a feather, but I guess it ' s all right, for it ' s nol a co-ed school and they have to resort to some such means for il wouldn ' t pay to have all those guys in School gel wise there was a lady on the grounds. Bul Mutt noticed me, and thinking I ' d let the secret out il I gol wise, passed the wink to Charlie and he look me out. I didn ' t give a rap though, lor ii gave me more time in the one place for me when I gol up there, and that ' s the Wool department. We went righl into the main guy ' s office, without knocking. I guess Charlie stands in pretty good with all of them. Well, the boss there is a corker, now take il from me. The most practical man you ever saw. and you don ' t sleep in his lectures either. He shaves most of his beard, but grows a little nanny on the end of his chin so he can give a correct illustration of the difference between wool and hair. He ' s a genuine gattling gun and you ' ll never Jorge! him. why you ' ll wake up in the nighl to the tune of that little straw hat thai covers the spot where his hair ought to grow. He was busy and we didn ' t bother him much longer, but the utility man down there showed us around. He ' s some prince that utility man -and what he don ' t know about wool won ' t fill a bum tooth. He took us out 164 THE PICKOUT 1911 and introduced us to the head hostler, who was currying the mules. He didn ' t make much of a hit with me at first, but they say he ' s right, and understands his mules (Johnson, Bassett, Davis and Furber is their names), and he combs from A to minus Z. I beat it though — didn ' t like his lamps, and he was working like the devil, so we went out through the French menagerie and for the first time in my life I saw a bunch of porcupines and a real French mule. The laundry was next in line, and the king down there is a blue ribbon taker; Mr. Ouka they call him, and he ' s just about the classiest Frit tosser England ever let go. ' Well, ' Charlie said, ' suppose we take in the Chemistry department. ' ' ' I was on for anything, so we waded across the court — that ' s the grass plot in the center — and then up to the top floor. It was pitiful in a way, — there were three fine young huskies up there fighting, as assistant instructors to make good at the life job they have recently signed for. They ' re too good for that second fiddle job, but they seem happ} r and willing to work till something better turns up. I guess it ' s their life partners that furnish the ambish and make them so happy. They ' re royal sports though, and see that you don ' t leave them off your list of friends when you go up there. Down stairs was the Dyeing department, run, Charlie said, by McCool, Hadley, Sleeper and Olney. I didn ' t see McCool, but did strike Hadley. They say he can deliver the goods on oil analysis and typewriting, but from the size of him, except his head, you ' d expect him to last about as long as a cigarette puff in a South Dakota blizzard. He was busy tickling the ivories on his Oliver when we left for the real Dye lab. I expected to see something that gave at least an inkling of a dyehouse, but ' No, ' Charlie said, that as the mechanical part of dyeing was easy, they concentrated all their efforts on developing the theoretical side and in that way all their graduates could take jobs as BOSS DYERS. A young fellow was over in a corner stirring something in a big jar, and when Charlie asked him what he was doing, 165 THE PICK OUT I!)I1 he let out a chain of greased lightning that sounded like, ' I ' m making up twenty degree traddle solution of soder ash for the third year Dye class hut as the second year Indus- trial class arc making the same stuff I have to do it when they aren ' t looking so they can ' t slip one over on me. ' I got the slant he was passing and later round out tor sure that there is never any cribbing done in thai school. Huh say, now when you go up there and they take you over to the Chem side and shut leading you through a bunch of private labs, storehouses and hlind closets, don ' t get scared tor you ' re going in to sec the real one and only, lie ' s the high mogul on the Chem side and probably won ' t have a lot to say to you for he ' s always busy buildii g quares and block houses and decorating the corners with letters, so as to have some- thing to amuse the kids with when he gets home. But he ' s worth seeing, for he ' s got the slull in his nut in the form of a solid solution which can be broughl out and printed in hook form if enough silver is used to make ;i desirable alloy. That takes in the whole course of instruction and vcs. you ' re on, Shorty, you ' ve gol to buck some to get by, but they realize they are not handing out any cream pie lunches, so they have pul in another course to make the loud mothers and fathers think their darling little Willies are getting a broad education, but when you strike bed rock you ' ll find that they are put in just to furnish a little fun, sport and amusement for the overworked Freshmen. The courses I ' m slanting at are French, English, Dutch and thai line of rot, hut the prof, say hoys, he ' s a living seven-ring circus tossed up in one pile and shaped and dried in the form of a man. He looks like a lawyer altogether too big for his job and ought to leave, for 1 know they ' d admit him behind the bar without asking many questions. He ' s a good old spoil though, and if you nurse him along a little he ' ll excuse you from coming to classes. But you do have to write a few themes in English, so take a divine hunch from yours truly and pack a few old ones that drew A ' s and slide them in on Jack when you get up there. What? Not going. Sliver? Now don ' t say that, for you know you want to be something 1 66 THE PICKOUT 1911 besides one of these educated toys for the ladies, only to be tossed aside for the first titled fortune-hunter that comes across the pond. But when you do go up there, just tell them you know me and it ' ll put you in right, and by the way, don ' t forget to remember me to that sweet little queen in the office that juggles the marks that go home to dad. She ' s all to the rosy and may be a friend in need. Got a pill, Dutch? Thanks. Match? Thanks. No, I can spit. Here ' s my car. Bye, boys. . N o - X? HIS ONLY REFUGE THE PICK OUT 1911 Cejrttles- -a 3Soofc of mrtnetos, etc. COTTON Cotton is the most important vegetable fibre used in spinning. There are many varieties of this fibre grown, estimated at 130. Among the most important of these varieties are the Uplands, Egyptian and Sea Islands. Egyptian cotton is grown in Egypt. Its staple is long and silky and is sometimes so charged Math grease that it can be easily smelt (unless you have a cold), and this grease is often so uneven that it causes the fibres to vaiy in strength. This undoubtedly explains why the early users of cotton called it vegetable wool. This discovery should be of great benefit to the industry. Sea Islands is the finest growth of cotton and commands the highest price. Cotton, unlike corn, which is planted on the instalment plan, is planted in a continuous stream by a machine about one and one-half to two inches under the ground. After coming out of the ground to a height of three inches it is hoed by a hoe and about this time is often mistaken by Northern people for a field of string beans. The plant commences to ripen along about July and as as soon as the bolls open, picking commences. The next process is ginning. Here the fibres are removed from the seed by a gang of saws. The lint is removed from the saws by a revolving brush which delivers it to rolls from which it is dropped in the form of a lap or bat. Now this may be a baseball bat or a brickbat or a real old Textile bat, just as it suits the reader ' s fancy. If you have any dealings with gin it usually ends up in a bat anyhow. Much of the nap in cotton is made on this machine and is caused by the buckling of the saws. 169 THE P I CKO UT 10 11 The cotton is next haled into hales and shipped to the mill. When it reaches the mill it is usually stored away until needed. The first process in the manufacture of cotton yarn is picking, where the cotton is again picked. The hands on the hales are broken by means of an axe and then allowed to stand so as to dry. It is very important that the hands should he thoroughly dry. The pickers pick and clean the cotton thoroughly, beating out tin dirt, stones, slieks mid seed and leave the cotton in the form of batting upon cylinders until it issues from the finisher picker as a downy roll. II next passes to the card where the cotton is combed by a revolving cylinder covered with wire pins, )(),()()( to the square loot. On leaving the cylinder it next passes through small eves which condense it into a narrow hand or ribbon called sliver. The combing process next follows and from here the slock is taken to the drawing-frames where it passes through three or four heads of drawing. Up to this lime the process has been one of cleaning (picking), arranging the fibres parallel, evening and drawing out the slock. In every case the slock delivered is lighter than when led in and contains twist enough to hold it together. The next process is that of tly-frames. This consists of n further attenuation of the fibre, but as the sliver would he broken if drawn out any more, a small amount of twist is added to allow of this drawing. These machines are called slubber, intermediate and roving. The intermediate receives the slubber rove and adds thereto a little more twist and dral ' !. The function of the roving frame is to receive the intermediate rove and add a little more twist and draft. In principle the intermediate is like the slubber and the roving is like the intermediate and the slubber is like the other two. This is about as clear as the Merrimack River during a spring freshet. I O THE PICKOUT 1911 The next process is spinning, the objects of spinning being to 1. Complete drawing out of threads to required size. 2. Insert proper amount of twist. 3. Undo threads on bobbin. There are two forms of spinning, ring spinning and mule spinning. Mule spinning is the older form of spinning, ring spinning being not so old as mule spinning. There are but few mule frames in this country. The function of mule spinning is to spin on the bare spindle (takes quite a while to get over a gin bat.) The function of the ring spinning frame is to drive out the rove and spin the same into yarn on the continuous system. The yarn made is usually spun upon bobbins in paper tubes. Ring spinning differs from mule in having the carriage replaced by a ring from which the machine takes its name. The ring is one and one-half to three inches in diameter and is connected with a flat steel wire shaped like letter D, called a twiller. THREAD Thread-making is a distinct art from yarn-making. The raw cotton must be of long staple and very clean and must be well carded and combed. First the slivers are passed through several sets of rollers, each set moving faster than the preceding set, so that the strands are drawn out fine and thin. In this condition the cotton passes to the doubling- frame and then to the lapping-frame, a device combining six laps into one and drawing the whole out into one fine, delicate, fluffy, beautiful, smooth, scrumptious, ropy lap. Bill Wilcox says that the kachicha conflumerated with the perigooslum. It sounds like a brainstorm. 171 THE RED 8 BLACK THE PICKOUT 1011 mggegttons to jfresfmten (1). When you meet a fellow-classmate, unload all your worries and troubles upon him, so that his own will dwindle to absolute zero. (2). When a Prof, tells you to do anything, dwell at length upon the difficulties that you are going to have to contend with in the fulfillment of his orders, taking care to emphasize the great likelihood of failure in overcoming them. (3). When you meet a Prof., launch into a long-winded rehearsal of your doings from the time you entered school, being careful to omit no small detail, and above all don ' t permit him to talk to you. Read him a few paragraphs from a morning paper, and if he seems interested tell him about the fight down street the night before, making your own part in the affair touch a little on heroism. Hand him a few hints as to how hard you are working and how much you would appreciate an H , and tell him at length of the joy this same H would bring to the hearts of your loving mother and father. This will convince him of your earnest endeavor, and will influence him toward giving you a good mark. (4). Go into the Engine Room for a drink of water. The cups in the toilets were removed by the engineer because he was lonesome and wanted company, and because he didn ' t want the cup which he had bought for himself to rust from want of use. While there, take a look at the switch- board. The engineer will not mind, as he knows that if you are hurt he will not be blamed for allowing you there. If anything is wrong, tell him of it, as he will not know of it unless you do. (5). When you see a fellow working in the Drawing Room, go over and sprawl all over his desk, and tell him a story you heard the other day, and, if possible, get in his way. In this way you will help him to keep his mind on his work, keep his hand from trembling in doing difficult 173 TIIhL PICKOIT 1911 ink work, and hence help him to pass his plate. Tell others to do the same. (()). When a member of the Pickoui Board asks yon for a grind or a poem, don ' t in e it to him. Make him write il himself.

If we bad been born consecutively, the firsl would have been walking in the St rand in London, looking at those pretty little French girls who came over with the Normans. Substitute Merrimack Street, and you find times haven ' 1 changed much, have they? Height Including the Toshach-Rich combination, the average height is . ) feel 9 inches. If the class were placed one on lop of the other, we would be forty toothpicks higher than Bunker Hill Monument. Weight We have a fairly good weighl this year. Average 158 pounds. This is thirteen pounds heavier than Inst year. II we had an esculator running from the level of the main entrance to the level of the general office, il would have expended at least 6205 horsepower in lifting our class alone. Handsomest Oh, you .lack Hunton! Who gave one vote to Hay? Heraus mil ibm. Most Popular Popularity ' s feeble and plenty, and lastetb for no time, but while it ' s here, it all belongs to our well-beloved Sime. Rich, Sidebottom and Jefferson also ran, but stopped in three laps. Brightest This was a close contest, but Hay won over Cbisholm and Sidebottom by one vote. i 6 THE PICKOUT 1911 Wittiest Here ' s where you shine, Flip. One more vote, however, and Hay would have tied you. Will someone kindly tell the man who voted for Toshach, what constitutes wit? Laziest We hate to do it, Sig, but it belongs to you. Flynn also ran. Worst Roughneck Jefferson is the worst roughneck, with Dewey a close second. Culver also needs a neck shave. Freshest Hubbard and Culver entered for the part, Hubbard finally winning by a small margin. Noisiest When it comes to noise there is not a man who can murm a murmer beside Phillips. Most Retiring Our only and undisputed fade-away is Signor. Someone has evidently seen Hodecker going to bed early three nights in succession, but then, that has nothing to do with this vote. Rusiest This was a close race between Rich and Chisholm, but in the last lap Rich nosed ahead two votes and won. Rest-natured That good-natured grin of Hendrickson ' s has won him this title without dispute. Middleton was one of the also-rans. Done the most for L. T. S. Rich wins this, with Jefferson close on his heels. Done the most for 1911 Jefferson is assuredly entitled to the honor that the ballots give him. Elliott was a close second. Riggest Smokestack Our Textile Pittsburg is Thaxter, but if you look closely, you might see Reggie Toshach puffing along close behind. 177 T II K P I CKO IT 1911 What is your favorite girl ' s name? Textile ' s best girl is Grace, and hats off to her. ( ' .lose behind is Florence, and Margaret is a good third. Then there were a lew remarks such as 1) your curiosity, and None of your business. We have not met the lasl two young ladies mentioned, but we hope to, some day. Cheekiest There is no chance for argument here. This all goes to Morris, pure and simple. Thai pure and simple business, however, does not apply to Morris. Class Goat As ;i class, no one has got our Chandler yet, nor are they likely to. Homeliest Toshach wins with Chandler and Adams close behind. Best Athlete This is one big vote for Jefferson. Grind Gainey wins from Sidebottom by a small margin. Al ' l TO SUCCEED Chisholm wins this, with Rich a close second. Sidebotlom drops into third place. Class Heathen When il comes to horns and a pitchfork, Joe Thaxter has them all beaten to a frazzle. Marland was also mentioned, but what can you expect from Andover? Most RELIGIOUS Who would have thought it? Abe Morris wears the halo. Chandler, Signor and Adams were also mentioned. Biggest Buffer And here comes Morris again, hut this time he has Gainey travelling close at his heels. 178 THE PICKOUT 1911 Worst Woman-hater This goes to Count Dewey, and it is every bit his. Slickest Grafter Moore wins this easily, with no one else in sight. Windiest The one best cyclone is Morris. Hubbard, Chandler, Marland, Phillips, and a few others stir up some ripples, but they soon die down. Most Versatile Bailey seems to be our man of many accomplishments. In view of the fact that several voted for Murphy, Culver, and Cameron, we would call especial attention to the dictionary in the library. Best Dressed Rich wins this in a walk. Several saw a new necktie on Elliott, but it didn ' t count. Biggest Four-flusher Morris seems to get into the limelight on the least provocation. This time he has Hubbard just behind him by three votes. Most Respected Our most respected man is Jack. Elliot was also mentioned. Class Shark This all goes to Sidebottom. Five others were favored with one vote each, but their little murmur was not heard. Thinks He is All those who think at all, think Gainey thinks he is the Class Shark. Several thinked a think that Pearson thinks he is. Does he think he is? We don ' t think. Greatest Fusser Chandler wins by a small margin form Jack Hunton. This is the way it came out, but it looks as though someone were trying a little sarcasm. 179 Til E P I C KO IT 1911 What is your object in coming to Textile? Kill time, gets eight voles. Others are To get knowl- edge, Find out the little I know, Damfino, Have a vacation, to learn something. What was the rashest thing vm did at Textile? Ordered ginger ale in the Dutch Room, 16-1 shot, Tear up my shirt. Cut Hand Looms, Take High Art, Cut school three days, and ' Slurv. were some of those mentioned. What salary do vou expect vi graduation? Here the answers vary from nine cents per hour to thirty thousand dollars per year. Quite a little difference, evidently. Others answered as ' Board and keep. .lust wages, Enough for tobacco, etc. What is your favorite tobacco? Textile ' s old standby, Hull. won this by a mile. Evidently the old warcry, Gotney makins, oughl to stand forever. What is your favorite drink? We are pleased to announce lor the benefit of the Women ' s Christian Temperance Union and other interested parties that the students of the Lowell Textile School favor nothing hut water as a beverage. When our men are inclined to dissipate a little they turn to such concoctions as whale ' s milk, cambric tea, strawberry pop. and milk shake. The others? Well, never mind about them. What is your highest ambition? When it comes to high ambitions, they have got nothing on Textile, even If their abilities are varied. Be a mill man, Get married, Finish dye lab on time, Have my mother proud of me, Engineer on a steam roller, ' Pass Mech- anism, are some of them. What time do you retire? In this the answers varied from 8 o ' clock p.m. to 2 o ' clock a.m. Some wit has said, When the old ones wear out. Very good. 180 THE PICK OUT 1911 What is your favorite girls ' school? Wellesley and Smith tied for this honor. Several have said the International Correspondence Schools, while one stated his choice as the Old Ladies ' Home. Are you partial to any one girl? Some say yes, and some say no, while others like them all. One got real enthusiastic and declared with much feeling You just bet I am. How OFTEN do you write home? Most of you write home once a week, others, when broke, every day, ' twice a day, ' never, and ever so often. Class Baby Our Class Baby is Ford, and he gets it by one unanimous Textile vote. Class Elephant We don ' t like to put his name down, for he is a bashful little fellow and very sensitive about his weight, which he cannot help, and it would be unkind to bring him into the limelight. However, here are a few hints. See if you can guess. A condition of the grass in early morning. A question calling for the answer We do. A famous admiral, also a famous judge. Simple, isn ' t it?

The caller was dressed in a bright green suit of tobacco leaves, trimmed with buttons of rich perique. On his head was a nobby little Turkish hat with an Egyptian emblem upon it. A bag of Bull dangled enticingly from the heavy chain stretched across his vest of brilliant cabbage leaves, and the box of Fatimas just showing from his pocket gave a rather pleasing appearance to the whole. ' Young man, said he, I am introducing nicotine, and if you will spare me just one moment, I am sure you will be pleased with it. Nicotine! repeated Rich, suddenly looking down upon him through his glasses, I have no use for such a thing. Quite possible, young man, but that is undoubtedly due to your not being, as yet fully acquainted with the virtue of this article. R is not, in fact, anything entirely new; but positively, I pledge you my word, the greatest discovery of all time; a convenience in the family, in society, in the theatre, in the church, in the school : in the family, such that your children, once they become accustomed to its advantages, will never be without it, and they will honor you for handing it down to them; in society, such that your friends will be de- lighted with the pleasant odor of your cigar, and will welcome you heartily on account of it; in the theatre, such that 3 011 may have some real purpose in leaving your seat between the 182 THE PICKOUT 1911 acts, and thus having secured honorable entrance to the smoking-room, you will become acquainted with the best men of the community who will welcome you with open arms; in the church, such that you will be honored on every side for having finally awakened and taken your stand on the side of this good cause, and loving parents will hold you up before their children as an example to be followed and admired; in the school, such that your work may be of the highest standard, and you may join those little fresh-air pilgrimages to the yard at the end of each hour; in fact, young man, a necessity of life, as life is destined to be lived by the best people. Can I supply you? No, I think not. Think well, young man, before you decide. Look around you at the men that do use it. There is your neighbor Dewey, never without his pipe, and see what he has acquired by its use. And there is Hay, Falkner and Thaxter, all good men. Look at them. And besides, it ' s a bargain. Won ' t you try it? Well, I don ' t know. How much? I will make you a ridiculously low intro- ductory price. After a while the price will go up. For the present, you have only to smoke one pipeful of thi choice tobacco, and the article is yours, to have and to Hold, to your heirs and assignes forever. Young man, that is tlie greatest bargain ever put before the American people. Here was a genuine bargain after his own heart, understand, and being a thoroughly business man, he appreciated it.

And win me renown and respect, Men will how down to me Like they do to John 1). And I ' ll stand in with Textile ' s elect. 1 entered the elass To swallow the gas Of Barker the Terrible Turk, But abandoned the plan When one day I began To see it consisted of work. It occurred to me then That a king among men Was the carder and spinner of cotton, And that fortunes untold, In silver and gold, In this trade were easily gotten. The principal said If I went right ahead And I made a terrific big hit, The mill would be glad For they needed me bad, And I ' d make a big fortune with it. 188 THE PlCKOUT 1911 But from Parson Steve I soon took my leave, And suddenly stopped with a jerk, For I found to my wrath The Cotton men ' s path Was sprinkled quite thickly with work. Then I had a hunch That the best of the bunch Was the carefree and easy designer, Who carries a smile And sleeps all the while, And nothing could ever be finer. In this nice easy trade Shall my fortune be made, And I ' m glad that I made the decision, For all the day long Is but one sweet song, And I laugh at the rest with derision. I cannot be hurried And I ' m never worried With Barker or Stephie or Perk, My mind all the time Is serene and sublime, For I ' m separate entirely from work.

The information of one of our eminent Industrial His- torians that the Black Death was caused by one half of the people of England dying and that if it came to this country, one half of the people of this country would die also, is de- cidedly chilling.

Used for washing Wool Yarns, Wyandotte Textile Soda not only thoroughly removes all greases and other matter, but it does it without in the least impairing its tensile strength. This thoroughness insures a wool that takes the dye evenly with no streaks or discoloration. Especially is its action noted on Zephyrs and knitting yarns to which it imparts that soft, lofty appearance and feel so difficult to obtain, yet so much desired. When used for washing Worsted Yarns there again does Wyandotte Textile Soda show its special fitness in the work for which it is recommended, bringing out the yarns a clear, snowy whiteness, and a whiteness that does not show yellow or dingy in the grays. The superiority of Wyandotte Textile Soda for washing Woolen and Worsted Cloths is easily apparent in the bright clear colors. Then, too, the fact that Wyandotte Textile Soda will not strip the colors is of especial value where you are using resist dyes on worsted cloths. The colors stand out bright and clear, in fact, help set the dyes. Further information always gladly given. Order from your supply house. This trade-mark card WpandotU ' (.Mojiiia.

PICKOUT ADVERTISEMENTS 21 C, The enormous progress and changes which have taken place in the course of the past century in industry and commerce, are due, to a great extent at least, to the utilization of the energy stored up in coal. This dead mineral yields us heat, kinetic energy and light, but even this does not exhaust its utility. Chemical science and the art of the manu- facturer have succeeded in producing from coal an unlimited series of valuable dyes, and by this means have brought into existence a flourishing industry. C. It is but little more than thirty years ago that dyers were entirely dependent upon the so-called natural coloring matter obtained from plants and animals, or prepared from minerals, from metals or from earths. The introduction of dyes de- rived from coal-tar led to a complete change in the dyeing industry. A large proportion of the coloring matters in use for centuries has been en- tirely abandoned as far as practical application is concerned, and instead, these artificial products are used, which are characterized by a hitherto unknown beauty of shade and by surprising sim- plicity of application. The coal-tar color industry, the youngest of the great chemical industries, has within a few decades developed in a way that is truly wonderful. C. The history of the development of the coal-tar color industry is intimately associated with the history of the Badische Anilin Soda- Fabric.
