The year 1909 will go down in the annals of the Lowell Textile School as one of the brightest years of her career, for, in the fall of that year, the class of 1912 entered this seat of learning. This was the largest class that had ever entered the school and during the three years we have spent here we have lost but few of our original number. When we first arrived in Lowell we were taken in hand by the class of 1911, who endeavored to amuse themselves at our expense. It was noticeable how cmickly 1911 found other sources of amusement as soon as we became organized. Our class numerals appeared on the river rocks shortly after this to prove that, as a class, we were very much alive. The Freshman Class Banquet was held April 12, 1910, and a strong class spirit was shown, as nearly every member was gathered around the festive board. This same spirit was shown by our class during the entire three years in the manner in which it entered, as a body, into all the social and athletic life of the school. The fall of 1910 brought us back to Lowell for the second stage of our journey, in numbers nearly as strong as we were when we left the preceding spring. Our first duty, that of gathering the new arrivals together and bringing them under our jurisdiction, was carried out b} us religiously and the work was thoroughly done. The class of 1913 showed little desire to disobey our teachings, and on the one occasion that they did try to exert themselves they were shown the folly of such an undertaking. 24 TIIK PICKOUT 1 91 2 CLASS GAME, I9I2-I3 At the annual inter-class day, held in the fall of 1910, the honors wore evenly divided, 1912 winning the football game by the score of 16 to 0, and 1913 winning the flag rush. The Sophomore Class Banquet was held March 9, 1911, and it showed that the class spirit was still alive and each man ready to do his duty toward both his class and the school. Our three years spent at Textile have passed so quickly that it is hard to realize we are at last nearing the end of our journey. The time spent here we do not consider wasted, with the training received both in and out of school. We consider that we have benefited the school to a great extent by the efforts which, as a class, we have put forth to make every event a success, and we think that if future classes will take the same interest in the school and the events related to school life that we have taken, they will have the same feeling of satisfaction which we experience at the completion of our three vears at Lowell Textile School. PRESCOTT FENNO BIGELOW BIG Rams, i, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 3 The first year in school, Big ' s greatest worry was to keep Casey out of mischief, but during the second year he gradually came to the conclusion that it was a bad job and gave it up. Since then he has contented himself with putting one over on Henry now and then, either at bowling, rough- housing, or hand wrestling. In spite of his troubles with Casey, however, Big became one of the Mechanism sharks from the start, and as a result developed into one of Perk ' s right- hand men at night school. He has since kept up his good work- in the Wool Department and stands high in his class. He also stands well with Barker, which, in itself, is no small feat. Among his many accomplishments is an aptitude for rum poker, at which he is quite a shark. ROLLINS BROWN on ROI.T.Y Alembic, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 1 Class Vice-President, 3 Glee Club, 1 Here is the original Rah-rah boy. Tis said that the little Canuck urchins whistle For He ' s a College Boy when Roily goes down the street. But, although he doesn ' t say much about himself, Roily is right there strong all the time, especially in the Chemistry line. When he graduates, somebody will get one fine chemist, unless he should happen to decide that he would look better in a haberdashery. Roily has held several honored positions and has done them justice, for when he starts out to do a thing he does it well. As chairman of our Sophomore Banquet Committee he gave us the best time of the year and made it a grand success. 26 TI1K IMCKOl ' T 19 12 HENRY BARKER BURKE Alembic, - 3 Burke came to ' .is from South Acton, as an innocent fanner ' s hoy. His knowledge of general chemistry was unbounding. He gradually became more or less sophisticated as time went on, hut his devilish propensities were held in check by the solemn presence o Xiven, his room-mate. He has always been an H man in mathematical subjects, and has always been a genius in this respect, possibly due to his magnificent preparation in the little red schoolhouse at Concord. Henry left us the middle of last winter, and is now mummifying himself in a dyehouse where we wish him the best of luck. HENRY FRANCIS CASEY HENRY Cotton Club, i. 2. 3 Track Pickout Board. 3 Skull and Bones, 2, 3 Casey started : n school as a room-mate of Bigelow, and under this restraint was. for a while, as near a model youth as he ever could be. But Henry soon broke away from this discipline and has since had more or less of a sensational career. He is some bowler, and has been known to bowl as high as 85, which is a good score (for Casey). As a canoeist he is cer- tainly the goods, especially when the ice is in the river. How- ever, Henry is as smart as they make ' em when he wants to be. but generally he has too much on hand to bother with such trifles. He is always happy, and nothing ever worries him. At the hospital he is said to be a great favorite. Stopping run- away horses is his hobby and Henry has quite a record in this respect. CHARLES BISBEE COAN ike. alias trumps, alias jakev Alembic. 2, 3 Out of the wilds of Ward Hill came Jakey Coan, the trumper. Even now he returns to this wilderness every evening, for he is a real dyed-in-the-wool, homespun commuter. Jakey ' s gigantic physique is the wonder and admiration of many, although why he has never used it in athletics is a puzzle. Some say he wants to give the kids a show. Big as he is. his good- nature is bigger, and no one has ever separated him from his nanny. Jake is the worst rough-houser ever seen in these parts and is always up to some kid ' s trick. Recently he has been starring as Vice-President of the Alembic Society. 27 THE PICK OUT 1912 WILDER DRURY COGSWELL KERDUNK Rams, i, 2, 3 Uneasy lies the head that wears no hair. Tis said he was once beaned by a bolt in Industrial History, which threw him into a trance from which he has not recovered at present writing. Kerdunk can be seen, usually, stripping cards for Gene, or sleeping in the library, but he always has that apologetic smile which makes you forgive him anything he does. Of course he takes Wool, as you may have guessed. Wilder will be drawing a fat salary some day, for he is a persevering and conscientious worker. RICHARD GOLDSMITH CONANT on DICK Cotton Club, i, 2, 3 Skull and Bones, 2, 3 Turkey Club, 2, 3 Business Manager Pickout, 3 Conant, the inhuman janitor, famous for his fresh air crusades, reported here fresh from the rural retreat of Littleton Common. Although his place of nativity is somewhat rusticated, he is always wide-awake and is the business man of the class. Dick is always way up in his studies, Perk ' s steam exams., however, causing him some excitement. He showed his, school spirit by proving an able member of the Skull and Bones Club in the past, and by running the business affairs of this book in beautiful shape this year. Dick will probably find his way into a fat agent ' s job in some swell mill, unless he pursues his summer vocation of chauffeur. EDWIN MAXON CRANE Cotton Club, 1, 2, Football, 1, 2, 3 Baseball, 2 Athletic Council, 3 ED Asst. Baseball Manager, 2 Baseball Manager, 3 Class Football, 1, 2 Pickout Board, 2 Ed is one of our football stars, having played on the team for three years. In point of size he is our Washington monument. He used to room with Lizzie Cooke but, after two years of this servitude, the latter got a divorce. On all questions of production Crane is right there. Ed is some weaver, but when the loom goes wrong — beware, keep away. Joe Wilmot is the only one who dares venture near him on these occasions. He is also something of a lightning calculator and is always one of the first out of the Cotton exams. When Ed graduates, the cotton trade will get a reliable, conscientious, and practical worker. 28 THE PICKO V T 19 12 GREGORY SMITH DALTON CAMBLER Alembic, i. j, 3 Get out the bones, here ' s Gambler Dalton ! Greg is our champion card shark. He is also something of a shark in the chemistry line, as he gets by with monotonous regularity. He can be found juggling the cards in the students ' room any day at noon and on the Lawrence trains morning and night. As an authority on the fair sex of his home city he has never been surpassed, and is always glad to give any information in this line which may be desired. We wouldn ' t be surprised if he grabbed a job removing hair from horses or dogs at some livery stable. His favorite poem is The Face on the Bar-room Floor, which he can recite in a very touching manner. ARTHUR JOHN DAW LIZZIE Alembic, 2, 3 Captain Hockey, 3 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Captain Baseball, 3 At clouting out doubles and triples and worrying opposing pitchers, this curly-haired native of Turkey To Vn ha£ it on them all. Lizzie made the baseball team his first year with us and has been one of Textile ' s leading swatsmen ever since. He was our captain on the diamond for the coming season, but left us to accept a good position in the western part of the state. Daw gets his nickname from his modest behavior and gentle ways, we suppose ; not from any predilection for the fair sex, although he has been known to sit in once or twice in the cattle car of the Lawrence Limited. Arthur is a hard worker, too, and a good sticker, and he will surely make good for he is right on the job all the time. JOHN DALTON JACK Alembic, 2, 3 Orchestra, 2 Curses on you. Jack Dalton. That is not the way with our Jack, though, for he is a boy whom we all respect. He stands pat for the mountaineers of the wild and woolly west of Massachusetts (North Adams). When it comes to making a hit with the girls, perhaps Jack is not there, for he comes A number one without half trying. As a chemist nobody knows but himself how he stands. 29 T HE PICK UT 1912 ELMER ELLRIDGE DEARTH Alembic, i, 2, 3 Elmer is one of the sports of the class, and when he is dolled out in his glad rags he has everything stopped from Belvi- dere to the Highlands. He is one of Greg Dalton ' s side partners and may be seen shuffling the pasteboards any noon in the stu- dents ' room. We all forgive him for his musical attempt at our sophomore banquet. It wasn ' t his fault, anyway. Dalton set him up to it. Elmer is an all around good fellow, and we hope he will succeed in after life. HERBERT EMIL DEMUTH THE PORTER Alembic, 2, 3 Some wise gink once said that silence is golden. Such being the case Demuth must be worth his weight in gold, for as a cor- rect imitation of a genuine, unadulterated graven image he drags down all the coin in sight. There is a legend that on one memor- able evening while in the sedate company of Shea, Casey, and Goodale, he was heard to say Yes, I did. It is hard to credit this, however, for such loquacity seems almost inconceivable. ' Tis said he has no use for the women, for he never speaks to them. We ' re from Missouri, though, for Perk once told us in Hydraulics that still water runs deep. Demuth is one of the fibre stainers ' crew and is doing mighty well in his studies. KARL EMIL ENGSTROM on NEMO Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Show, 2 Engstrom came to us with the idea of becoming an Engineer with Chemistry as a side issue. However, he was blown up the first day in the laboratory by a hydrogen generator and has had no use for chemistry, since. He is Herbie Ball ' s right hand man and corrects the mech. problems, so it ' s a good hunch to get in right with him if you happen to be taking it over. Nobody ever knew Engstrom to hurry but his goat is as yet unattainable. 30 THE IMCKOl ' T 1 «) 1 2 HAROLD BENJAMIN FROST JA K Rains, i. Baseball, Foolhall, -. 3 2, 3 Class Football, i Show, Pickoul Board, 3 Class President, 3 When Jack made up his mind to come to Textile there was wailing and gnashing of teeth throughout the entire female population of Somerville. So, to avoid a disturbance of the peace. Jack had to promise to be in Somerville every night and thus far he has kept his worth In spite of his commuting habits. Jack is without question the most popular man in the class. To show our appreciation of him, we elected him presi- dent this year by an almost unanimous vote. He well deserves this highest of honors, for anyone of the crowd will tell you that as an all-around good scout he has us all beaten several lengths. At the black face stuff he is the real goods and his hand spring dance was one of the hits of last year ' s show. Jack is also a football star and was one of our most consistent ground gainers in spite of the fact that his opponent outweighed him in every contest. WILLIAM PEIRCE GOODALE on bill ♦ Chairman Show Committee, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 1, 2, 3 Skull and Bones, 2, 3 accomplishments. Bill is a a magician, and an amateur He will probably get a good Cotton Club. 1. 2. 3 Show. 1, 2, 3 Manager Hockey. 3 Behold the man of many pianist, a pen-and-ink artist, Houdini and handcuff expert, job when he gets through Steve Smith ' s cotton course, but if things don ' t come his way, he can easily make good money at any of the above occupations. His drawings here in the book- speak for themselves and for his work in general. On the ivories he can play anything you can think of and then a little more, and as a magician he has been the star of the last two Textile shows. GEORGE TYLER HARTSHORN DIMPLES Rams. 1. 2, 3 Show. 1, 2, 3 Glee Club, 1. 2. 3 Show Committee, 2, 3 Leader Glee Club, 2 Business Manager Show, 3 When George blew in from Norwood he had the reputation of being mother ' s only boy, but look at him now. Is there anyone in Lowell that he doesn ' t know? His fame in that great battle of fussing is incomparable. He is going to make a good boss though, and may probably be a big mill man some day. His calling is either to the mill or to the stage, for he is not a bad one before the foot-lights at that. 31 THE PICK OUT 1912 PAUL JOSEPH HASSETT Class Football, i, 2 Manager Football, 3 CAP Track, 1 Football, 1, 3 Alembic, 2, 3 The young Goliath from Fitchburg. He is one of our football stars and the way he managed the football team gives us a strong and very favorable idea of his ability in the future when he becomes boss dye-slinger in some Hassett mill which is as yet unheard of. Cap is also some boy reporter, for it makes no difference what he reports as long as he gets enough material to show the dollar sign in a local newspaper. HENRY BUSHBY HATHAWAY Society of Designers, 1, 2, 3 Glee Club, 2 Show, 2 Hathaway, the boy designer and consulting expert on card cutting and Jacquard weaving, made his first appearance in the Chem. Lab. garbed in a wagon-washer ' s rubber apron. He gave up chemistry, however, because they couldn ' t teach him any more, and plunged into the much more difficult subject of Special Design. Henry ought to make a good designer, for he is enthusiastic over the subject, and has the courage of his convictions, as is shown by his sticking to the course for three vears. OTIS MILTON HOLMES DUCKY Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Quack ! Quack ! One rainy morning two years ago little Ducky came quietly in from Haverhill, and has been quietly with us ever since. He has never been known to smoke and the worst habits he has are those of commuting every day and playing cards once in a while. Ducky is everybody ' s friend and nobody ' s enemy, and he never yet has lost his goat. If you are ever feeling sore or ugly, just get to talking with him about any old thing. That pleasant, unassuming way of his will be sure to cheer you up in no time. 32 THE PICKOl ' T MM 2 LESLIE NEWTON HOOD Alembic, - ' , 3 Hood journeys in from Nashua every morning, — some ride for a little boy, we think. He is one of the retort handlers and is always up near the top in his studies. He took Louie ' s prize his first year with us, but met his Waterloo in the Meeh. final. Leslie was a college boy before we saw him, for he used to go to the swell New Hampshire State College. If he should not gel a job right away in his chosen calling, he will he sure to obtain his old job again at Canobie Lake selling hot dogs. They ' re all hot ! MAURICE KAPLAN CAP Alembic, 2, 3 Orchestra, 2, 3 Kaplan came to us from the busy city of Boston and decided to take the test tube course. He has been very busy since he came here, for he has many matters to attend to outside of school. So he deserves a great deal of credit for doing as well as he has in his studies and sticking it out for three years. Cap is a real musician and anybody can see him leading the orchestra at the Plaza every night after school. Good work. Cap, keep it up. We take this opportunity to thank him for the musical entertainment at the banquet. Cap will wind up a rich man some d ay for he certainly has the push in him. OSCAR ELI KELSEY Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3. Football, 1, 2, 3 Will some one kindly wake the gentleman up? Oh, no; he is not dead but sleeping. Kelsey is a native son of the Spindle City, and all the little French dolls root hard for him when they see him playing football for us. He is some player, too, and has held down cne of the center positions since his Fresh- man year. Kelse is more or less of a woman-hater, but when with the fellows he is always right at home and very popular. We expect to see him master mechanic of the Lowell Machine Shop before long. 33 T HE PI C K U T 1912 ROBERT LAURANCE LAMONT on ; BOB Upstream Committee, 2 Athletic Council, 1, 2, 3 President Athletic Ass ' n, 3 Pickout Board, 2, 3 Rams, 1, 2, 3 Show, 1 Football, 2, 3 Class Football, 2 Turkey Club, 3 Bob is one of our big men both figuratively and literally speaking. He has always been one of our leaders, both in class- room, class meeting, and on the gridiron. His ability, strength and weight have been a great asset to Textile ' s success at foot- ball during the past year. Bob comes from Maiden, that great stamping ground of athletes, but even if he had come from Hingham, he would have been liked by everybody, just as he is now. He is not only liked but respected, for he has filled many places of honor and filled them well. The firm which secures Bob ' s services after graduation will be mighty lucky, for he is sure to make good. HAROLD WATSON LEITCH AK$ Alembic, 2, 3 A Chem. shark from the word go. He can juggle the dyestuffs with the best of them. He has a quiet way about him, but if you don ' t look out he will have it over you in fifty-seven different ways. Of late he has been showing us his ability as an instructor. MARVIN HALE LILLIS Alembic, 2, 3 Lillis is another one of the thirteen commuters of our class. He joined us for the express purpose of studying water analysis, but most of his time thus far has been spent on mechanical drawing. Marvin used to have great difficulty in getting by the candy shop on Fletcher Street on his way up to school. There must have been a quarrel, though, for after a little while he stopped dropping in. His heart seems to be whole, however, for very often on a Wednesday afternoon he can be seen at the corner of Middlesex and Central Streets, waiting for some- body. He has but one bad habit — a liking for the other fellow ' s smokes. If Lillis ever finishes his mechanical drawing, he ' ll be a good chemist. 34 THK PICKOIT 19 12 SYDNEY PHILIP Ml ' NKOE ' SID ' Cotton Club, i, Pickout Board, Editor Pickout, Sid came to us from the big city of Melrose and decided to lake the Cotton course, which he has faithfully pursued with credit to himself and the school. Sid is the Editor of this little book and has done his work well, as you probably will all agree. Some of the fellows will want to praise him, others will want to kill him ; but praise or kill, he certainty deserves a lot of credit for his faithful work in getting out a book like this, that is a remembrance to us all of the good old clays we have spent at Dear Old Textile. When Sid graduates, the cotton industry will get a brilliant, reliable, whole-hearted fellow, who is bound to make a name for himself. Many thanks for your good work, Sid. Goodbve and Good Luck. ROBERT SCOTT NIVEN BOB Engineering Society, i, 2, 3 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Niven hailed originally from Concord, but after becoming citified by his sojourn in Lowell, he found Concord too quiet, so he moved to Saugus. Here he may be seen any summer evening driving his car up and down the Gay White Way to the admiring rapture of the little farmers ' daughters. Niven is some baseball player and was one of our standbys last year. Cribbage is one of his hobbies, and he is some shark at the fifteen-two, fifteen-four stuff. He is something of a woman- hater or else he ' s in love, wdiich is pretty much the same thing. Bob is getting by Perk ' s course in great shape and by the looks of things he ought to get a good job when school closes. They say he ' s a wizard at calibrating a direct current motor, whatever that is. GEORGE ROBERT PENSEL 4K$ SHORTY Track. 1, 2 Captain Track, 2 Alembic, 2, 3 Basketball. 1, 2 Captain Basketball, 2 Size has nothing to do with the make-up of a man — if you do not believe this you ought to see the way Shorty ' s legs spin in a track meet. Did you ever try to argue Fitchburg with Shorty ? Don ' t do it, for his fame in basketball originated on the All Stars of his home town, and ever since, people ind ulging in the game will all agree that he is the most slippery youngster that ever held down the position of forward. If true, he has one fault, however, and that is: — We hear you are married. Shorty. How about it ? 35 THE PICK OUT 1912 JAMES GILBERT POTTINGER Rams, i, 2, 3 Glee Club, i, 2, 3 Textile Show, 2 JIMMIE Secretary Athletic Ass ' n, 2 Manager Glee Club, 2 Chubby little Jimmie the boy scout or the little general, first came into prominence when he led the West Roxbury High Cadets to defeat against the roughnecks from English High. A good many think that Jimmie missed his call- ing and should have entered a theological school, for he has a beautiful code of morals and his philosophy is far ahead of anything yet presented to the psychological world. We all have a good deal of respect for him, for although small in stature he is big of heart. He always wears a cute little smile to show his good-nature. A lot of praise is due Jimmie for his work in the Glee Club and Shows, for he is right there with the warble. HAROLD LORENZO PRESTON on WHANGER Rams, 1, 2, 3 Class Secretary-Treasurer, 3 Class Basketball, 1 Many years ago, down among the swamps and bulrushes in Woon-saw-ket (accent on the ket ) a little pollywog wiggled towards Textile. Upon its arrival in Lowell, however, it soon assumed the size and manner of a full-grown bullfrog, and even at this late date Whanger is sometimes seen to associate with his old frog friends. Always be sure and ask him where the name Whanger originated and he will, with great pleasure, be pleased to explain all about it. Whanger seems delighted to start a rough-house with some one after fussing up to go out and then having to do his fussing up all over again. He is the most even-tempered and best-natured chap that ever graduated ( ?) from Textile. ARNOLD DEARBORN RUNDLETT MARY Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Mary is one of the speed boys of the Engineering corps. If you should happen to pass the Mechanical Lab. during class (?) hours, you would see Mary with a little pad of paper figuring out the problem while the rest of the bunch loaf around in open-mouthed idolatry. He is Jack ' s right-hand man in machine shop and is the shark of the course in general. He formerly was a side partner to Stubbs, but became disgusted when Stubbs took the Chem. course. 36 TIIK PICK OUT 1912 RAYMOND VINCENT ROCHE RAYMIE Alembic, 2, 3 Track Professor Wilsox, el al., have swept out all the cockroaches discovered in the school, but there is one Roche which sneaked in from M. I. T. two years ago who has got by unobserved thus far. Raymie is irretrievably an Iron Man, for Iron Men may come and Iron Men may go, but Roche will eat at Champagne ' s forever (pardon us, Alfred). He may often be seen, however, having his dessert in Brosnahan ' s Ice Cream Parlor. Raymie used to play a great Sir Bedivere to Sayward ' s King Arthur, and even now his happiest moments are when he is recalling the good old times with Rafie. He is not much of a ladies ' man, although he would like to be if he wasn ' t so bashful. Raymie is a good kid, though, and while he has only been with us a couple of years, he has stuck with the bunch in his studies. FRANCIS JAMES SHEA BARRY Rams, 1, 2, 3 Football, 3 Skull and Bones, 2, 3 They certainly do up some weird package down there in Ware, wherever that is. Shea received his early textile training as bobbin boy in a mill, but now is one of Joe ' s most reliable weavers. He can handle twenty-five harnesses and seven shuttles with the most apparent ease. Barry is the author of the Infallible Guide, a little red book, which he carries on all occasions and uses to show up Barker. He is a happy- go-lucky sort of a cuss and as our original class humorist he is right there with the bells. Whoever first called him Bonehead Barry must have been jealous, for Shea is certainly there when it comes to the studies. SAMUEL ASA STUBBS sam alias ASA SPADES Alembic, 2, 3 Here is our Mellins Food Baby. He comes from Haverhill. Stubbs is our class lawyer, as was shown by his ability at dis- cussing with John Clement all questions of discipline and order. He was also the originator of the remarks, Out for five weeks, and Give him a show, but always managed to get bawled out himself. Many will recall that famous evening when Asa mis- took a soda fountain for a coat-room and nearly wrecked it. He is a great admirer of the fair sex, although his taste is not of the best. He is one of the favorites of the laundry help. We hear that Asa has found something pretty nice and papa is going to give him a job mixing soft drinks and washing bottles. 37 THE PICK OUT 1912 JOHN DAVID SULLIVAN SULLY Engineering Society, i, 2, 3 We take pleasure in presenting the Carl Morris of our class. Just because of his name, Sully had a hunch, when he was a little boy, that he would sometime be the real noise as a White Man ' s Hope. However, his middle initial was not L, and so when Wahoo Sam Crawford came along with two big bunches of fives, Sully was quickly put away and his White Hope aspirations w ' re ended. Sully ' s goat has a habit of steal- ing away when Sully isn ' t looking and then he has a lot of trouble recovering it. He doesn ' t have much to do with the girls, but he ' s popular with the fellows and that is what counts. He is hitting the Engineering stuff in good shape and ought to have no trouble getting his diploma. HARRY FOREST WEEKS POMPEY Rams, 1, 2, 3 Who ' s the boy that killed the Mechanical Drawing? Who ' s the gent that murdered the Mule Thesis? Who ' s the germ that crabbed the Dye Lab? Answer echoes Pompey. Pomp came to us as a very unsophisticated little lady from the wilds of Maiden. He soon became misguided, however, by MacDuff and Heath and turned into a very hard gent. It is rumored that Pomp is thinking of buying up a tobacco farm to get exercise for his masticating muscles. He has certainly done excellent work here, but was obliged to leave us last fall. HERBERT HA SKINS WARD Rams, 1, 2, 3 What, didn ' t you ever hear of Hardwick High? Why that ' s where Weaver Ward graduated some thirty-odd years ago. Ward has since had more mill experience than any of the instructors and nothing is practical enough to suit him. When it comes to weaving and loom-fixing he is the real goods. Ward has been taking weaving at night school this year just to show the night school men that he has something on them all. Some day he will be overseer of weaving at the Harvard Knitting Mills. 38 THE IMCKOl ' T 1912 WARREN HALL WHITEHALL Alembic, 2, 3 Warren is one of those model youths that you used to read about in Horatio Alger ' s hooks when you were a little germ in short jeans. He used to ride in from Groton via bicycle ami train every day hut it was too much for him, so since the first year he has been with us here in town all the time. As a chemist he has a little something on every one of the so-called sharks, and has copped several prizes. Life in this fast city has not changed him in the least and he is apparently incorruptible. Don ' t be bashful, Warren, speak to the young lad . SUMNER CLARENCE WHITTIER Alembic, 2, 3 Whittier is the Abe Lincoln of the class and lopes in from Reading every morning. He is right there with the industrious stuff and he told us one time that he had difficulty finding some- one to work with who could keep up with hrni. Sumner splits three cords of wood every morning before starling for school, and in this way has managed to remain thoroughly rusticated throughout his sojourn in these parts. He has never been cor- rupted, and never even smokes, on which we heartily congra- tulate him. It ' s a good way to save money. HARRY YAVNER HARRY Rams, I, 2, 3 Who is that boy with the blue overalls and short jumper, scratching his head over that mule? Why, that ' s Harry of Boston English High. Sure, Harry likes to tell about the hard bunch of gents that they had in that barn and how they used to throw the teachers out of the room and run the school to suit themselves. ' Harry reports to us that he spent one whole summer cutting the strings on fleece in one of Boston ' s big wool houses, and he can now tell a XXX from a XX without looking at the wool. His one desire is to duck at 4 p. m., so he can take the early train home to doll up to go out and see his lady friends. Ham is ouite nifty with the gloves. 39 3 egi0ttr of 1912 NAME BlGELOW, Prescott FENNOj $ Branson, Frank Lanier Brown, Rollins, II Casey, Henry Francis Coan, Charles Bisbee Conant, Richard Goldsmith Crane, Edwin Maxon, $ X V Dalton, Gregory Smith Dalton, John, Jr., AK$ Daw, Arthur John Dearth, Elmer Ellridge Demuih, Herbert Emil Elliot, Gordon Baylies Engstrom, Karl Emil, II Frost, Harold Benjamin, $ [ ' Fujiyoshi, Hetsayu Goodale, William Peirce, IT school course LAST ATTENDED home address II Arlington High 242 Pond St., Jamaica Plain, Mass.

They have come to learn — just see How they trembling look at me, Rah, rah, rah, for Freshies green. Unlike previous entering classes, the members of the class of nineteen hundred and thirteen were left to depend upon their own resources and aggressiveness, when they ar- rived in this large metropolis of Lowell. No delegation of the Sophomore class was present to welcome us, when wc alighted from the train with our two weeks ' wash under each arm. This was our first disappointment, as we had expected great doings at our expense, and had previously decided to hang together, or, as Ben Franklin said, We ' d be hanged separately. It also gave us a poor impression of the class, as far as liveliness went, and one which has since been manifested scores of times. As the class became organized, the ' Sophs became weak in the knees, forgot their dire threats and tried to do the fade away stunt, as they feared our mighty power insomuch that they dared not attempt to repaint their numerals on the rocks, after we had declared our intentions of keeping 1912 obliterate, and 1913 ever resplendent. During our time at Textile we have been compelled to take our hats off only once, when the class football game was played, but, then, we have always maintained that Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword, or football score. Our class has always been famed for its 45 THE PICKOUT 1912 learning, and our record is often cited as an incentive to other classes, the most recent example being when Principal Eames gave his annual to the Freshman class. During this talk he expressed his desire of seeing the good work of the class of 1913 continue and excel the records of preceding classes. On February 6th, 1911, we held our Freshman Banquet, which was a great success, both from a social and from a financial standpoint. The class was well represented and the members enjoyed themselves to the utmost. After the post- prandial exercises the banquet was brought to a close with speech-making by the officers of the class. The true 1913 spirit predominated during the evening, and the speakers were continually cheered for their sincerity and loyalty to their class and Alma Mater. During the latter half of the 1910-1911 school year, the 1913 spirit was ever manifested at the smokers, Textile Show, and Upstream. At all of these events the members have done their best to make them a success, and this attitude is one which all classes should show, to further the cause of Textile and make her rank among the foremost institutions in the world. 4 6 Register of 1913 NAME COURSE Avers.

Taft 1914 € fficcr£ President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Representative to Athletic Council 53 THE PICKOUT 1912 Class of 1914 The Freshman sipped his lemon and lime slowly. Then, in answer to his query, the clerk replied, Go up Merrimack Street. In fifteen minutes you will see the school. And from that time, the class of 1914, Lowell Textile School, have been continually going up. This is not a ballooning term, either, understand, but, in the estimation of their fellow students, instructors, and those who come in contact with 1914 repre- sentatives, they have risen to a high place. From all parts we come, but assembled together, we are as one body, a unit which has the welfare of its class and school at heart. Unorganized at first, we were subjected to many idiotic things by the Sophomores, which so aroused their sense of humor that it called to the scene of action, our Principal. Dismissing our malefactors, he instructed us as to What to do, What not to do, closing with the expectations our instructors hoped for from us, and now we, in return, hope they have been fulfilled. Our class was soon made an organized body by President Frost of the Senior class. Schofield was elected President; Robbins, Vice-President; Hamilton, Secretary and Treasurer; while Taft was our choice as representative to the Athletic Board. Loyalty to the School was shown at the call for football candidates, when twelve of our men responded. From these, five were retained on the Varsity, while two developed into first substitutes. Such actions on our part, rather opened the eyes of our 1913 rivals. There was the annual sophom ore- freshman game to be played and things did not look at all bright for them. But with good spirit they challenged us. The 54 THE PICK OUT 1912 result was never in doubt, 1914 playing together with clock- like precision and overcoming the Sophomores by an 11 to score. Following the game, we bested them in the Flag Hush, the spirit of our class bringing out nearly its entire member- ship. Since then, little has been known of the affairs of the class, but we have been continually on the move, placing men upon the several committees involved in the School routine. Also the Minstrel Show will display a good amount of Fresh- man talent. The annual banquet of the Freshman class was held at the New American House, Lowell, on February 13, 1912, and was a great success. Ingenuity and cleverness were displayed by our class in the capture of the Sophomore President. He was retained as our guest throughout the evening, during which he interested us bv a few choice remarks. It was at this time our President, Percy W. Schofield, heeded the call of the West and left us, Robbins stepping into his office. From now on to the end of the year, and indeed, through- out the whole course, much should be expected of the present Freshman class. It has shown spirit, unity, and, moreover, loyalty to the School. With these three things and the always present aim for higher things, we feel that the Lowell Textile School may well be proud of the class of 1914. 55 NAME COURSE Abbott, Fred Amos, f II Adams, Arnold Bemts, O II VI Ballard, Albert Parker, 4 Barta, Elliot Bellefontaine, Edgar Paul Blake, Parker Gould, AK$ Bradley, Raymond Frost, A K $ Brickett, Raymond Calvin, Casey, William Francis, AK$ I Childs, Calvin Way III Christie, Grover William, AK3 IV Cleaves, William Scott I Colby, Lawrence Wendell, AK$ IV Comey, Francis Wilson, € P I Cosendai, Edwin Frederick E., AK$ IV school last attended Worcester Academy home address 5 Church St., Dexter, Maine Berkeley Preparatory School, Bedford St., Boston East Bridgewater, Mass. 12 Glen St., Maiden, Mass. 6 Cabot St., Winchester, Mass. 130 Riverside St., Lowell, Mass. 9 Remington St., Cambridge, Mass. 163 Washington St., Gloucester, Mass. 124 Cedar St., Haverhill, Mass. 11 A Bayard St., Allston, Mass. 14 Percy Road, Lexington, Mass. 20 Chestnut St., Bradford, Mass. 135 Bradstreet Ave., Beachmont, Mass. 37 High St., Andover, Mass. 185 Upham St., Melrose, Mass. 1820 Genesee Ave., Saginaw, Mich.

The requiring of each student to pay a sum of five dollars to help support athletics, the starting of the fence to enclose the athletic field, and the entrance of a class containing many well-known athletes will all assist greatly in building up a branch of Textile School life which is very poorly developed. Were it possible to arrange a shorter school day and allow the students more time out of doors, a still greater step would be taken. It is hoped that by continuing class athletics and gym- nasium work, interest will gradually be stimulated. With this idea in mind, every Freshman is required to take part in soccer and track work during the fall; gymnasium work and indoor track during the winter; and baseball, soccer and track in the spring. Last fall more than half the football squad was com- posed of Freshmen. Under the direction of Coach Brady a varsity team, which was a decided credit to the school, was turned out. Soccer was introduced this year for the first time. It proved very popular and will be continued in the spring. Much enthusiasm was shown, and a final match was arranged between the two divisions of the Freshman class. Track work also received considerable attention, and a final Fresh- man meet was held and class records established. It is hoped that these records may be broken in the future and better ones set up. The indoor season is quiet. Basketball seems to attract 102 THE PICKOIT 19 12 sonic attention; also, ice hockey is slowly coining into favor. It is quite probable that a representative team may be put in the field before a great while in the latter sport. Certainly a game which is becoming so popular should be given a fair trial at any rate. Prospects for a good team in baseball are good. With so many of last year ' s team as a nucleus, together with the new men, much should be accomplished. It is to be regretted that so little interest in athletics is shown by the main student body. Were it possible to arouse and stimulate a feeling of competitive enthusiasm to a higher extent than we now have, Textile athletics would be well up among those of other colleges. Let us take hold and give all the assistance possible toward putting Textile where it should be. ■■ rV t ' • .. ■ - ' - r™ 103 Ld 1 O AV Robert L. Lamont Charles J. Cleary Alexander Thomson Arthur A.

It is safe to say that with a second team to line up against and an equal amount of practice, our 1911 team would have been the peer of any preparatory school team in New England. The scpuad was handicapped at the beginning of the season by the lack of a captain, Zobel of last year ' s team, who had been elected captain for this year, failing to return to school. In his place, Crane, who had played the previous two years, was elected temporary captain, and served faith- 108 THE 1M CKOUT 1 )12 fully and efficiently. At the Maiden game Thomson, whose playing in 1910 was of the stellar type, was elected captain lor the remainder of the season. We were fortunate this year in that the new athletic assessment provided sufficient capital to secure the services of a first class coach, in the person of Mr. Frank A. Brady, who, the previous year, coached the eminently successful Dartmouth Freshman team. Mr. Brady ' s work with us has been very commendable, and he deserves the highest praise for the season ' s results. Of the men on last year ' s team, only Thomson, Crane, Kelsey, Leffingwell, and Jefferson were with the squad this year, hut the Freshman class presented a wealth of new material and a number of men from the upper classes came out for the team and made good. At the end positions the team was particularly strong with Taft and Strauss, both Freshmen, in these positions. Taft came to us from Norwich, where he won his letter at football, and he has been one of the particularly brilliant stars of our team. Strauss made a good running-mate for him, both men being exceptionally fast and aggressive. Captain Thomson and Crane, the tackles, were both veterans of the 1910 team and their reliable playing is too well known to need enlarging upon. Kelsey, who has played for Textile for three years, held down his old position at right guard, where his playing was above criticism, as was also that of Washburn, a new man, who played the other guard. Washburn was a veteran of the Maiden High team and proved very valuable. He also played a couple of games as substitute in the backfield and showed up well. Dover at center played a beautiful game all the season and proved himself a game, wiry player of immense value. The backfield was rather light, but made up in speed what it lacked in weight. Hamilton played well at quarter throughout the season, his generalship being of a high order and his defensive work superb. He also pulled off several quarterback runs for long gains. Frost, although very light 109 THE PICKOUT 1912 for the position, played a remarkably fast game at left half. His judgment in picking holes in the line and running in a broken field was excellent, and on the defense his work was invaluable. Schofield, at the other half, proved a con- sistent line plunger, and played a hard, gritty game all the time. He annexed the unusual record of not missing a single goal from touchdown throughout the season, thus proving of inestimable worth. In Lamont the team had one of the best line plungers ever seen here at Textile. His work in this regard was magnificent, and on the defense also he was a tower of strength. Lamont also proved of great value to the team by his punting and accurate throwing of forward passes. Pinanski and McGowan proved excellent substitutes for the end positions, the former showing up particularly well in the St. John ' s game. Shea and Hassett in the line and Leffingwell and Christy in the backfield also played well. To review the season ' s record, the team won five games, lost two, and tied one. In the opinion of her supporters Textile would, with an even break in the luck and impartial rulings by the officials, have won both the St. John ' s and the Maiden games. At Maiden the team was penalized over the entire length of the field. Maiden ' s score was practically a present from the officials. With the ball on Textile ' s 20- yard line we were penalized fifteen yards. This gave Maiden the ball on our 5-yard line. They could not help scoring under these conditions. Textile ' s score came in the last half as the result of an irresistible march almost the entire length of the field for a touchdown. Schofield being out of the game, the goal, which would have won for us, was missed by inches. In the St. John ' s game Textile outplayed the Prep, team in all departments of the game except punting. Within four minutes of play Textile scored a touchdown through the medium of a recovered kick and a series of brilliant line plunges by Frost and Lamont. In the second period Textile had the ball on the visitors ' 15-yard line, but received several very questionable penalties which prevented scoring. St. no THE PICKOUT 1912 John ' s scores came as the result of two rather fluky plays. Joyce, unaided, managed to break away from the field for a 30-yard run which tied the score. Shortly alter, with the hall in our possession on the opponents ' 20-yard line, the signals became crossed and a forward pass was thrown into the waiting arms of Sheehan of St. John, who, with a clear Held before him, ran eighty yards for a touchdown. St. John ' s maintained its reputation as a rough-housing team hut managed to get away with it, being penalized very slightly. Textile on the other hand received many severe and undeserved penalties which prevented the scoring of at least two other touchdowns. The other game lost was to Dean Academy. It is no disgrace to he beaten by this team, which for the last few years has been generally considered in the college class. Textile made an excellent showing, however, in view of the fact that there had been no practice for two weeks on account of wet grounds. Frost was unable to enter the game, and Captain Thomson had to be take n out on account of injuries. Of the other games little need be said other than that they were won easily. The scoring throughout the season was the result of touchdowns which were all attained by old-fashioned line plunging. Such scoring was conceded this year by all football experts to be possible only to teams having an unusually powerful offense, on account of the new rules strengthening the defense and weakening the attack. The first game of the season against the Middlesex School proved an easy win. The score would have been much larger but for fumbles at critical moments. The Lawrence Academy game was largely an exchange of punts, Lamont having the better of the argument. The game was hotly contested, but Textile was never in danger. In the last period Lamont scored a touchdown after a series of line plays. In the game with dishing the latter ' s score came as the result of carelessness on the part of the Textile team. Textile had the ball on her opponents ' 20-yard line and tried in THE PICK OUT 1912 a forward pass which was intercepted by a dishing player. At the start of the play the umpire blew his horn as he claimed that the Textile team was offside, and the latter, thinking the ball dead, allowed the dishing player to run, unmolested, the entire length of the field for a touchdown, which was declared legal when dishing refused the penalty. At no other time was dishing within striking distance of our goal line. Textile ' s score resulted from the usual line plunging, Hamilton carrying the ball over. At the end of the first half Textile had the ball on Cushing ' s 10-yard line but the whistle prevented scoring. The team was handi- capped by the absence of Captain Thomson, Taft, and Kelsey. Pinanski and Shea, however, substituted brilliantly. The game with St. Anselm ' s College was one-sided and uninteresting. Fish of St. Anselm ' s got away a number of good punts. Outside of this, however, the Manchester crowd seemed to have very little knowledge of the game except as to rough-house tactics. Although with long experience in this latter respect, they were not sufficiently adept to use these methods successfully. The last game of the season, that with the Alumni, was very humorous from a football point of view but proved a very pleasant social affair. The grads, however, fought gamely with the old Textile grit. The entire school can be very justly proud of the show- ing made by its football team the past season, and let everyone do his best to make the 1912 team better even than that of 1911. 112 Charles J.

The prospects for a good team this year are very bright. Graduation has reduced the strength of our ranks consider- ably, but we have the nucleus of a strong team left, and relying on the Freshman class for a few good men, it can be safely said that Textile will be represented by one of the strongest nines which ever upheld the glory of the school. Familiar Faces Missed When the call for candidates is made this spring, we shall surely miss the familiar faces of Eddie Ford, Fred Phillips, Bill Aspinwall, O ' Brien, and lastly Dan McMahon, a man of clear baseball instinct and possessor of sterling qualities. Mr. McMahon ' s health will prevent his presence with us this spring. Captain Joseph B. Thaxter of last year ' s team will fortunately be with us again this spring, and his experience and good judgment should materially help the team to another successful season. We shall naturally feel keenly the loss of our two former stars, Eddie Ford and Fred Phillips. Eddie, an unknown quantity at the time, anxious to win his T, came out, and under the careful tutorship of Danny, turned out to be a finished infielder and a reliable batter. A more clever man on throws from third to first base has seldom been seen at Textile. Phillips, more often known as Flip, had an enviable reputation behind him in former years; Aspinwall, familiarly known as Big Bill, showed fine qualities as pitcher, being rangy, strong and aggressive. His appearance on the mound was always welcome to Textile ' s loyal sup- porters. 117 THE PICKOUT 1912 Last Year ' s Record To go back and run over last year ' s record, it can be said that we had a good season, winning six out of ten games. Inclement weather and wet grounds prevented us from play- ing our full schedule. The season of 1911 opened with Rindge Manual Training School on the Campus. The day was cold and chilly, and Textile ' s team found great trouble in fielding the ball, eight glaring errors being charged against them. Davieau opened the game for Textile, and pitched good ball, considering the weather and time of season. His excusable wildness and errors behind him gave us the short end of an 8 to 7 score. Our score in this game was well earned, resulting from long- distance drives with the sacks occupied. Another cold, disagreeable day greeted us when we went to Groton to play Lawrence Academy. The game opened in grand style. A fusillade of hits by the head of the Textile batting list soon drove Keady, Lawrence ' s star pitcher, from the mound. Knight took his place, but the boys were out for vengeance, and the game finally ended with us at the top of a 10 to 9 score. Roston University was the next team to visit us at home. With them came the worst beating we received all season. A patched-up line-up, combined with numerous errors and a failure to hit, gave us five runs while our opponents made thirteen. A Fitting Climax A fitting climax to this ten-act drama comes at the be- ginning of the fourth act, when Gardner High School, after an all-night session with Little Nemo, enters with the Textile giant as an opponent to fight a deadly duel. The stage is very dark during the fight, to prevent spectators from fainting. Suddenly the lights are flashed and Gardner is revealed showing twenty-five glittering wounds while Textile emerges with three slight scratches. The time allotted for this bout was nine rounds, but after a conference of seconds it was agreed to throw up the sponge at the end of the fifth. n8 T H E P I C K l T T 19 12 After such an exciting act, it is the custom to introduce a rather tame affair. This came in the form of a rather long- distance love affair between M. I. T. ' 13, and Text ile. A 13 to 2 score with us at the long end shows how far this match progressed. The hitting of Cleary, Phillips and Davieau and the pitching of Aspinwall in this game are worthy of due comment. Contrary to the scores of former years, our 1911 game with St. Anselm ' s College of Manchester was marked by the few runs scored by both sides It developed from the start to be a pitchers ' battle between Aspinwall of Textile and Smith of St. Anselm ' s. A bad infield error on a fly ball let in two runs and decided the game in favor of our opponents, we, during the whole nine sessions, being unable to get a man across the rubber. Not being satisfied with one beating, Lawrence Academy again invited us to partake with her of the national pastime on May 3rd. This time we conclusively proved to them that we were their superiors by trimming them to the tune of 7 to 1. The pitching of Aspinwall and the batting of Pinanski and Niven were largely responsible for Textile ' s victory. Hardest Fought Victory Our hardest fought victory of the year took place May 6th, when we played St. John ' s at Danvers. This game developed from the start into a pitchers ' battle between Aspin- wall of Textile and Heffernan of St. John ' s. Heffernan began from the start to mow down our batters in regular order without allowing us to reach first base. At last Charlie Cleary got to first on an error. Alas! We had found Heff ernan ' s weakness — his loss of effectiveness with a man on first base. We rattled him, and got Cleary home. One run. Again in the sixth, we got to him and by clever base running and hitting by Aspinwall and Cleary, we piled our score up to five runs, while St. John ' s fought hard to get three across the rubber. The stellar playing of Cleary, Thaxter and Aspinwall was a big factor in Textile ' s victory. IIQ THE PICKOUT 1912 Our ninth game with Tufts Second gave indications from the start that a good game was to be played with a low score. The game went along scoreless for two innings, when the head of Textile ' s batting list opened on Haskell with all their might. During the bombardment three two-baggers and a home run had such a damaging effect on Haskell ' s position that he was forced to retire to safer territory. Later in the game Aspinwall eased up a little, with the result that six runs were scored against him. The final score was Textile 10; Tufts Second, 6. The timely hitting of Pinanski, Ford and Aspinwall was noticeable. Playing of High Order Flushed with two recent victories, we went to Exete r with the greatest of confidence that we would return with the bacon ; but through bad train service we were without the assistance of Aspinwall and our coach. However, our courage was not in the least daunted, for with a substitute pitcher and the old Textile grit we fought hard to the end, only to lose 4 to 2, mainly through erratic pitching. The playing of all the fellows in this game was of tne highest order, Cleary, Davieau and Pinanski time and again saving long drives to the outfield by clever running catches. With Cleary, Davieau, Pinanski, Thaxter, Niven and Daw of last year ' s team back in school again, and Brickett, Lawson and several other good men in the Freshman class, the student body can depend on having a creditable team to represent them when the bell rings in April. A. J. Daw 120 THE IMCKOl ' T 15) 1 2 Jftelti Bap The Field Day this year was held on November 22 and was a big success. The Freshmen won the football game by the score of 11 to 0, and secured the Hag after a struggle of two and a half minutes, three minutes being the time limit set. The Sophs deserve much credit in the rush for they battled gamely against heavy odds, and it was only after the hardest kind of a struggle that the Freshmen succeeded in dragging down the tlag. In the game, however, there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm on the part of some of the 1913 players. The Sophomore team had a stronger offense than their opponents but seemed to lack aggressiveness at critical moments. The majority of luck lay with 1914 and the Soph- omores made a number of costly fumbles. The Freshmen scored a safety in the first period when Madden in an. attempt to punt from behind his own goal line was downed with the ball in his hands. The second score came soon after when Schofield drop-kicked a goal. It was one of the prettiest goals ever accomplished on the local field. The pass was a poor one, the ball rolling along the ground and with several Sophs almost on him Schofield was obliged : •• ' ,:;: ■ 1914 121 THE P I C K O U T 1912 1913 lo boot the ball without straightening up. In the last period Hamilton caught a punt which had been partially blocked by Greer and ran 85 yards down the side lines for a touch- down. For the Freshmen, Greer, Lane, Schofield, Hamilton, and Hurld excelled. The Sophomore stars were : Cleary, Ryder, Leffingwell, Davieau, and Dover. Both the game and the rush were cleanly contested throughout, and both sides are to be congratulated on the sportsmanlike spirit which was evidenced. 1914 1913 Taft, le. re. Madden Lane, It. rt.

The proposition as presented to the State authorities was that the school should provide four-year courses in Textile Chemistry and Dyeing and in Textile Engineering and should then be allowed to confer the degree of Bachelor o f Science upon students graduating from these courses. The State Board of Education adopted a favorable attitude toward this petition but recommended that, instead of the degree of B. S., degrees giving an idea of the nature of the course of study completed should be awarded. The degrees suggested were B. T. D (Bachelor of Textile Dyeing), and B. T. E. (Bachelor of Textile Engineering). The result will undoubtedly be of far-reaching benefit to the school and consequently to its students. In consequence of the passage of this measure, the ad- ministration intends to retain the three-year courses substantially in their present form and to award diplomas to graduates of the three-year courses as at present. By the adding of a fourth year to the Dyeing and Engineering courses the present very obvious crowding of these courses will be eliminated and time for new subjects will, at the same time, be provided. It is further proposed to provide three options for students choosing the Engineering course. Such students may either take both Cotton and Woolen-Worsted Manufac- ture, in connection with the Engineering subjects, or 133 THEPICKOUT 1912 specialize on either Cotton or Woolen and Worsted. The two latter alternatives are equivalent to establishing degree courses in the manufacturing subjects. The procedure above outlined would undoubtedly raise the rank of the school far above that of any other textile school in the country, and it is the earnest desire of every well-wisher of Textile that these plans may be fulfilled. The school has developed and progressed considerably during the past year. The new boiler-house and power plant are rapidly nearing completion. This will make avail- able added laboratory space. The construction of the class fence about the campus is well under way, and, when com- pleted, it will greatly beautify the surroundings of the school. The machine shop has been enlarged, both in size and equip- ment, and a permanent instructor has been employed. A better and more commodious smoking-room has been provided for the students. Wild rumors have been heard also regarding a gymnasium, a swimming tank, and dormitories. But while the trustees have been working earnestly and untiringly in furthering the best interests of the school, what has the graduate body been doing? The graduates unques- tionably owe a great deal to their Alma Mater. Much of their success is directly attributable to the experience and knowledge which they gained while students here. The institution is developing rapidly and along good lines, thanks to the energy of the trustees and administration and to the loyalty and interest evidenced by the undergraduate body. But there is room for plenty of help — help which can most appropriately be given by the Alumni. A fund should be founded for the creation of scholarships, in this way opening up the advantages of the school to those who otherwise could not afford to profit by them. If this is out of the question, the graduates can certainly use their influence to attract the attention of philanthropic persons and interests to the worthi- ness of the cause. There are other things also that we need and need badly. 134 THE PICKOUT 19 12 One of the most crying of these is the need for a larger and better knitting equipment. We need more finishing machinery as well. One singer represents the sum total of our cotton-finishing machinery. The warp preparation equipment can well he extended as can also the mechanical laboratory. Wake up, Alumni! Show signs of life. Take a little interest in athletics, and give us a hand now and then. We have needed it badly in the past, even in the last year. Boost the school all the time. Advertise it. A few words of praise from a successful graduate carry more weight than half a dozen enthusiastic outbursts from a student. Let us see some of the spirit that characterizes the graduate bodies of other institutions and colleges who will back their Alma Mater with their last dollar. The past year has been marked by an increase in school spirit among the undergraduates. The loyalty and enthu- siasm shown by the Freshman class this year has been particularly remarked upon. This certainly is gratifying to contemplate. But there is decided room for improvement. The games in which our teams have participated have been meagrely attended and some of the out-of-town games were not attended at all. Although there was a larger football squad this year than usual, still there were not enough men to form a second team. More interest is needed not only in athletics but in the two school enterprises which are direct supporters of the athletic activities, namely, the annual Textile Show and The Pickout. The students who have done any active work for this book can almost be numbered on the fingers, and the same can truly be said of those who worked up and prepared this year ' s Show. We do not mean to state that the percentage of active workers in under- graduate affairs is any smaller than it is in most of the large colleges of the country, but owing to the small size of the student body, we need a much greater percentage of workers to properly carry forward these undertakings. It speaks well for the students, however, that the spirit i35 THE PICKOUT 1912 of loyalty and enthusiasm is as strong as it is, for there arc several conditions which tend to decrease this. In the first place the lack of dormitories is an ever-present obstacle. The students would be brought into closer touch and more intimate relationship by dormitory life and an esprit de corps would be fostered, which is almost impossible to produce with the students scattered here and there among private boarding-houses as at present. The presence of the fraternity houses has undoubtedly gone a long way toward eradicating this difficulty and the fraternities deserve much praise for their efforts in this line. The long school hours tend to decrease the interest in athletics. Also, there is such a wide divergence between certain of the courses that often men from one course will not be brought into contact with those of another from one week ' s end to the next. Of course, these conditions are inevitable but nevertheless are obstacles which ar e to be surmounted by those who are striving to make the student body a more complete unit. Lack of funds and lack of practice time have done much to reduce the natural interest in athletics. At times in the past it has become almost a foregone conclusion in the minds of the students that Textile could not put out a good team because there was neither money enough nor ample time for practice. The success of our football team the past season shows what can be done in spite of the latter condition. The former evil has been more or less completely eradicated by the athletic assessment which has been added to the tuition fee on petition of the more public-spirited of the students. A condition which has further hindered the consum- mation of the idea of unity and good-fellowship among the undergraduates has been the marked absence of social activities thus far this year. The reason for this state of affairs has been hard to find, but the fact remains. The various fraternities are the only agencies which have inaug- urated any social events since school began. This tendency must be overcome. Let us get together somehow before long 136 THE PIGKOUT 1912 and start a few things that will add sonic touches of bright- ness to the gray routine of our every-day life. There are many ways in which we can show our loyally to our Alma Mater. We can maintain her standards of man- hood by proving ourselves men and not quitters, both in the class-room and out. But one of our first duties is to give all we can in the way of assistance, approval and encouragement to the men who by the unselfish giving of their time and energy are doing their utmost to further the welfare of their Alma Mater along athletic, literary, and social lines. The Pickout provides an annual medium through which the students have an opportunity to express their views, favorable or otherwise, on conditions which may exist in the school. These opportunities have, to our knowledge, never before been utilized, but we hope it will not be taken amiss if we attempt to voice a few ideas which seem to be very prevalent among the more thoughtful members of the undergraduate body. The class of 1911 consisted, all told, of seventy-one members. Of this number twenty-six received diplomas, — or 36.6 per cent. The class of 1910 contained a total of sixty- two members, of whom twenty-five graduated in three years, a percentage of 40.3. Is not this a low percentage? And if so, where does the fault lie? The fault must be either with the school or with the students. Surely the members of these two classes were of equal ambition and ability with those entering other scientific schools and colleges in the country. On closer inspection it will be discovered that most of the men who did not graduate in three years were unable to do so be- cause of failures and deficiencies incurred during their Fresh- man year. Consequently a great majority of the students have arrived at the conclusion that the curriculum of first year studies is decidedly overcrowded. It is much easier to criticize than to suggest a remedy — to tear down than to reconstruct. A few only have attempted the latter. The following suggestion has occurred. If, as 137 THE PICK OUT 1912 the annual bulletin states, it seems advisable that all stu- dents should have had preparatory training, the equivalent of that afforded by the regular four-year course of a standard high school, why not make General Chemistry, French, German, English, Advanced Algebra, and Trigonometry, and, possibly, Physics, qualifications in which more or less com- plete preparation is required? All reputable high schools provide thorough courses in these subjects. The above courses could then be eliminated from the curriculum. Such a procedure would prevent the entrance of students who have not had sufficient preparation to successfully confront the difficult courses of study laid out for them here. Further- more, a large number of the students have had thorough preparation in the above subjects but find it necessary to repeat them here, thus spending time which they could much more profitably spend on the subject which they came here primarily to study, viz., the Textile Industry. A great many of the students consider the courses in French, German, and Industrial History useless. We think that there is some foundation for this feeling. It is an absur dity to argue that a man can take sixty hours of German or French his Freshman year and then be able to read com- mercial German or French at sight. Moreover, there arc many men who come into the school who are able to read French or German or both with more or less fluency. Could not these sixty hours of their time be more profitably spent on work that has a direct bearing on Textile Manufacture or its allied branches? If the cry for broadening must be heard, would not a course or courses in Commercial Law, Business Economy, and Merchandizing,— subjects of which most of us are wofully ignorant — be preferable? As the time draws near when the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twelve will say farewell to their Alma Mater, a few parting words are in order. Whatever our experiences may have been while here, whatever of joy or disappointment we may have felt, however we may have 138 THE PICK OUT 1912 fallen short of accomplishing what we had in mind, however trying may have been the tasks which have been allotted to ns, none of ns can Tail to realize that opportunities have been afforded us lor acquiring a textile training which no institu- tion could have ottered us a generation ago, and which it is questionable if any other institution today can give its students. The benefits which we have derived from our course here are very substantial and will become more ap- parent as time goes on. Our feeling towards our Alma Mater should he that of gratitude and good-will. Mingled with the feeling of sadness which comes over us as we approach the parting of the ways, there arises within us the determination to maintain a spirit of loyalty toward this school, which should prompt us to advance its interests so far as in our power lies. It is needless to point out what we can do which shall he conducive to its welfare and growth. There is one thing which we can all do and which it is very easy to do: we can champion our Alma Mater and extol her efforts among those with whom we may associate in life ' s work. We owe it to the school that we should ever strive tirelessly to attain such success as will reflect the training we have received. There can be nothing more creditable to the school than the success of its graduates in the broad field of Textile Manufacture. SYDNEY P.

The show committee had been hard at work for several months and prepared an entertainment second to none that was ever offered in any previous year. The show was of the popular vaudeville character and included William P. Goodale, ' 12, remembered for his work as an illusionist in the past two shows, who was warmly applauded for his clever work. 140 T HE PI C K T T 19 12 An entertaining sketch entitled An Easy Mark was given and produced much merriment.

A musical skit by William P. Goodalc and Robert E. McNeilis, introducing several popular songs of Mr. Goodale ' s own composition proved very pleasing as both are skilled entertainers in this line. The usual Merry Textile Minstrels appeared with several innovations. The best singers and comedians the school possesses took part in this act. The veterans of the 1911 act who were seen again this year were Gordon B. Elliott, ' 12, Charles J. Gleary, ' 13, and Robert E.

Honost, you missed the time of your life by not going. The olassiost time any bunch of Sunday-School children could have- had, considering the fact that the Profs, were there, not to mention the array of trustys, I mean trustees, and others that take great delight in informing us at various times of things that we are well aware of but don ' t like to be told about. You get me, don ' t you? Well, keep it corked up tight — and don ' t take the seal off. But to get down to details. The day dawned rather fore- bodingly, (good term). I don ' t know whether it dawned that way or not, but it looked that way when I arose, and, accord- ing to John Clem, that is the official way to begin any narra- tion. You remember Jack, don ' t you, that big gent with the heavy tread who studied law, and decided that the Bartenders ' Union wouldn ' t admit him because he wasn ' t partial to rubber heels? He certainly missed his calling, as he would have been an ornament to most any mahogany-furnished drawing room. It looked a lot like rain until after school time, but the Governor Allen looked pretty spiffy tied up below the boat house (Tuesday nights Miners ' Orchestra), with Onions fussing around. Onions is some fusser, believe me. As usual, the Professors, et al., were down early, just as if they were going to school. The Residents straggled along as they usually do, fifteen minutes late, and honest, several Commuters put in an appearance. Cy Whitcher came swing- ing along with his harmonic motion. Y r ou remember that just before linkages in Mech. (Don ' t weep.) i43 THE PICKOUT 1912 The only disappointing thing about the Freshmen who did go was the fact that they were so few in number. Honest, not even one class officer had spirit enough to plank down his seeds and gather. Some spirit! And, say! Some band, too! Pretty classy bunch of young chaps with a gent to see that they didn ' t go astray. After the Dudolfs started to come they came on the Banana Line, (pretty weak Academy last Friday), and soon the boat began to settle with the excessive weight. Suddenly Old Sol burst forth and shone with splendor. Down Pawtucket Street came John Clem with his heavy tread, wearing a two-quart kelly of straw on the star-board side of his bean. Wow! We cheered, whistled, stamped our feet, the band played, and we caused such a commotion that the boat rocked, and so much water was sent over the falls that the mills in Law- rence had to shut down for fear of a flood. Finally, the engineer was separated from his family in Pelham, and made his appearance. All aboard! Onions cast her loose, and with the band playing, we headed for the falls. Every Freshman wore a pompadour for a few minutes, but soon she turned and headed up stream. Gee, Dick, but those fellows can show a little reverence once in a while. You should have seen them doff their caps to every mill they passed. It was fairly quiet, everyone playing cards, until Onions made his first appearance on the upper deck. He didn ' t stay long, believe me ! Had to go down for re-enforcements. When we came near the first bridge, Onions appeared and was greeted with a shower of wet paper. He certainly was loqua- cious, but we wouldn ' t stand for it one minute. He was right there with the come-back though, for we soon got a shower of stuff down from a pipe near the stack that made all the white shirts have a polka dot effect. Everyone scattered but one man. He remained Stolid and Stunned, Brother to the Ox. During the scuffle Jerry O ' Neil wanted to lick Jim Murray. Just like Jerry. Now for the sad 144 THE PICKOl ' T 19 12 part. J. Clem ' s straw kelly got an awful misdeal and he argued with the head of the Chemistry Dept. on the best means of cleaning it, the rest of the way up the river. When Onions appeared to cut the throat of the smoke- stack, in order to get under a bridge, no one bothered him, and there was as much smoke from Meeeas and Fatimas as though the stack was up, and the engineer stuffing her with drafts open. Onions got it again when we tied up at the grounds. That was official. But several others got their ' s getting off, and there was a mad seramhle to get ashore dry. So court was opened for the day, and the first case on the docket was a hall game between the Instructors and the Senior Chemists. Half-fed Adams led his team to victory when the Engin- eering Class figured up the score on their slide-rules. Lupe pitched for the Instructors, and Charley caught. Lupe cer- tainly did steam them over and made Charley ' s hands so sore that every time he came to bat he had to strike out. Herbie certainly was speedy on the bases, and Joe held down first in major league style. 145 THE PICKOUT 1912 You should have seen Perk dancing around second base in short pons. Wow! Mother was very graceful in the outfield, and everyone enjoyed it immensely, even Mr. Hadley who was keeping score. Later Wool played Cotton and the greatest surprise of the day was when Pompey Weeks caught a fly in center field. I bet he wrote and told Sister about it. The main feature soon showed up in the form of the feed. Some feed, Dick, and lots of it. Every time I think of that feed I begin to think of the number of days to next Up- stream. Honest, I ate so much I had to sit on the steps for about an hour. But, believe me, I wasn ' t alone. In fact, all activities were suspended for a certain length of time. John Clem, sat on the piazza most of the day discussing weighty questions with Mr. Barker, but it was all one-sided, with Eddie ' s dope preponderant. I didn ' t dare go in swimming for fear of displacing too much water, but a lot of the fellows brodied in. Honest, they will have to get a new filing system for the Brodie family pretty soon. We tried to steal the boat for a junketing trip, but with no results, as Onions was on the job all the time. We played the hose on him until the pump went out of order, and then decided to be peaceable. Later the Freshmen beat the Sophs at baseball, with Charley Sylvain doing the pitching for us, and then everyone had to rest. All in. Someone produced a rope and a series of events were pulled off. The Sophs beat the Freshmen because we were pulling up hill, and the Instructors beat the Seniors for the same reason. The Instructors won for another reason — J. Clem was there on the job. The rest of the afternoon slipped away pretty fast, and we had another feed at five o ' clock. Things were pretty quiet coming home, as the roughnecks were all in. We did dis- turb the calm serenity of the surrounding neighborhood with several songs, and the band was in good shape. 146 T11K PICKOl ' T 1912 Aside from that, things were pretty peaceable. I got an awful sunburn and feel pretty still ' today, but, say, if you meet those Queens we met at the casino, tell Blondie I will be 0. K. after the finals, and be the lop card in the deck with no misdeal. M7 THE PICK OUT 1912 mpstream, 1012 0p£tream Committee R. L. Lamont, ' 12 E. D. Walen, ' 13 E. M. Crane, ' 12 A. Thomson, ' 13 R.

The preparations for Upstream Day this year will be carried on by the committee under the leadership of Bob Lamont who did the greater part of the work for the affair last year. Experience counts, so it is safe to say that Bob will repeat with as good a time as he furnished us in 1911 — very likely better. This is the biggest get-together event of the year and every man who has the least spark of school spirit attends. Everyone who was in the crowd last year is sure to be on deck if possible when the Governor Allen starts up the river again this year. But a larger attendance is required if the event is to be a success. Let us hope that as nearly as possible the entire student body, together with the Faculty, may turn out. If you have a date, call it off. There is plenty of time for that, but there is only one Upstream. 148 THE PICKOUT 1912 3t ' s €as£ to Bo Witty a JttafcMtp, or 2|oto to Wwk tfje 3ffacultp The editors have felt that a great deal of time is lost by new students in getting onto their instructors; therefore this pamphlet is published. General Rules 1. Always do your work with a rush for the first five weeks. If in that time you answer all questions put to you easily and thoroughly, one of two things will happen — a.) You will not be called on again. b.) If you are called on, the instructor is so used to getting correct answers from you that you can work off any old thing on him. 2. Always appear interested in class. 3. When meeting professors do not bow and appear humbly respectful — that is unnatural and they will surely think that you are trying to work them. You should appear at your ease and treat them naturally. For instance, when you meet Prof. Olney, slap him on the shoulder in a jolly maimer and say, Hello, Louis, old scout! How ' s evei little thing? You can ' t imagine how pleased this will make him feel. 4. Be sure of the leg before you pull it. 5. Mix them up — don ' t play the same game too often. (Note: This applies to penny-ante, also.) Details Professor Perkins. — Always appear very interested in Prof. Perkins ' lectures. Look him in the eye all the time as he lectures, and at the end of each sentence nod the head vehemently several times. If he starts to do a problem on the board and stops to figure it out on his slide-rule, compute it in your head and give him the answer before he finds it. Also 150 T H E P I C K l T T 1912 be sure and correct any mistakes he may make. These two things particularly please him, for he sees that he has inter- ested you. Immediately alter his examinations ask him for your mark, and continue this, asking him every time you meet him, until he relents. He knows long before the exam, what he is going to give you, so it ' s only a case of teasing until he comes across. Bobby Sleeper. — Always talk in a hard voice and appear rather bored when he is near. He likes this, especially if he can see that you are manipulating a rustic. Don ' t mind his gruff ways — he only docs that to appear tough. If you want to fit particularly strong here, ask him if he had a good time on that trip to New York years ago before he graduated. Mr. Smith (Course IV). — If you get stuck while writing a reaction, write out the first half of the equation, then go to Doc and whisper in his ear, in a sort of confidential way, that you don ' t quite see how the deuced thing should end. He will undoubtedly write out the entire experiment for you. Mr. Lifien. — If Loop asks a question in class, look at him eagerly if you know the answer? He will be sure to call on you. If you do not know the answer start talking in a loud voice with the man next to you. If you are not satisfied with your mark in Math., go to Loop and tell him so, tell him that you don ' t understand what motive he can have for marking you unfairly and that you want it made right immediately. There will be nothing to it after that, for he has a very equable temper on all such occasions. Professor Barker. — This pugnacious specimen is wont to strike awe into the hearts of Freshmen by bulldozing them as soon as they enter his course. If he calls you a left-handed, hopeless son of rest, and says that you are doomed to a life of carpet-beating, answer him boldly. Tell him that he is judging you by himself and that you once gave Matty Baldwin a beating in a street fight and that in your opinion Matty is a huskier man than he is. When he sees that you are in earnest he will immediately quit his swash-buckling and beg your pardon. 151 THE PICKOUT 1912 Mr. Woodcock. — Never mind him — he ' s harmless. That peevish expression is simply the logical result of the persecu- tion which he receives at the hands of Woody, his room-mate. Mrs. McKay. — Don ' t allow her to freeze you if she tries to put on airs. Bring her a little box of candy or a few violets and if she appears flustered you can easily calm her by talk- ing about guns and shooting. She is quite a huntress in her home village, and can easily be thawed out on this subject. Mr. Dick. — Generally all that is necessary is to tell him that you like the food they serve in the Kirk-Boott Chambers. If this does not work, let him hear you whistling some of Harry Lauder ' s airs as you pass through the cotton lab. The effect will be magical. Mr. Wilmot. — Simply tell Joe a funny story once in a while and borrow his fancy-handled reed hook whenever you get a chance, and the rest ' s a cinch. Professor Smith. — The editor still has a course with Prof. Smith so no advice will be given as we fear we might get him in wrong. The Others. — The general rules apply very well in nearly all other cases. After you have worked a prof, never wait around to see the effect, but Go while the going am good. 152 ©ucssttons anli nstoers (Wit)) apologies to the tcrtilr tratic papers) Trouble with the Condenser Wool Dep ' t, Oct. 27, 191 1 Editor Pickout: 1 have had a lot of trouble lately in getting the roving- to come out of the condenser and wind on the jack-spools. The set of cards was last used in experimenting with dirty ramie waste and in trying to make something out of nothing. The dof- ter is badly out of mesh and the stock wraps around it continually instead of going into the rub rolls. Several expert students have worked on it without success, and as a last resort of a broken-down instructor I appeal to you. Xo. 00962. [The trouble is evidently with the cloffer. If it has recently- been re- clothed and trued, take a sledge ham- mer and dull the points. Have the gudgeons twisted under a pressure of approximately 5000 lbs., so that they will run eccentric. Put shaft in bear- ings and with a crow bar force the doffer rings well up into the card clothing. Any kind of heavy crow bar will do for this purpose. Caution: Stand well away from machine when starting up. We think there is little need of winding the roving on jack- spools. Simply gather up in the arms and cast on the floor behind the mule. — Ed.l Easy Way to Strip Cards Cotton Dep ' t.. Nov. 3, 191 1 Editor Pickout: I have great trouble in getting the students to strip cards. Can you inform me regarding any more inter- esting and simple way of performing this task than that in common use in the mills today? No. 00429. [Remove all flats and plates so that the entire upper surface of the cylin- der will be exposed. Let George do this. Purchase an ordinary- fine toothed comb such as is commonly used for removing dandruff from a baby ' s head. This can be procured at an)- reputable drug store. More a small hole in the center of the comb, and into it solder a skewer such as is used to support bobbins in the creel of a roving frame. Start the card at full speed. Have the student stand on the licker-in. Have the stu- dent run at the same linear velocity as the surface of the licker-in. This can easily be accomplished after a few trials and errors. Hold the in- strument in the right hand and press evenly on the wires of the cylinder, moving the comb gradually to the left. In the course of two and one- half hours the cylinder will be toler- ably clean if the comb has not worn out before then. — Ed.] Trouble in Singeing Finishing Office, Nov. 14, 191 1 Editor Pickout: Will you kindly lend me the expert advice of your columns re- garding a matter which has caused me much brain-fag? I am experi- encing much trouble in singeing lawns. As these are heavy goods 1 believe in using a heavy flame for them. I am running the cloth as rapidly as ten feet per minute, but cannot get the desired singe without incinerating the fabric. These are cheap goods and the low price I get for them does not warrant so thor- ough a finishing. No. 00748. [Your difficulty is very evidently one of speeds. The speed at which you are running your cloth is far too high. Such a high speed as this pro- duces a tremendous draft which causes the flame to attach itself to the cloth. after the manner of an oxy-hydrogen blow-pipe. We would recommend a speed of about 14 to 16 inches per minute. Have this section of your mill well equipped with automatic sprinklers, and have a fire hose handy. —Ed.] 153 THE PIGKOUT 1912 Bcttoem Ctoclte anti §3 eten Good morning! The man addressed did not look up; for fully half a minute he did not take his gaze from the pages of a volume containing photographic engravures of broilers, that he was perusing. Without removing the pipe from his bicuspids, he nodded and tilting hack his hat to approximately an angle of 27 , looked up with a glance of inquiry. The intruder continued, I represent The New Era Motion Photograph Co. Ltd. of Coilinsvillc. I would like the exclusive rights on the pictures of the coming encounter of which you are the promoter. I have a proposition here that Er — said the individual of the pipe and hat, you refer to the Championship Battle between Mater McAie and Louisa ' s Only Janitor? Yes, was the quick response. Er I haven ' t time to talk to you now. Come around later in the week. ♦ The White Elephant was rapidly becoming crowded. More stews were coming in. A dainty little fellow looks in and timidly walks to a seat, is about to sit down, when he slips on a Rustie and falls. Sqeaky voice (from some Ware), Did you fall? Yes, I did. Arranged on one side were the supporters of Mater McAie, hopeful that their favorite would win. On the other side the Chem Crabbers were rooting for their idol. It was certainly a gala occasion. The air was filled with the smoke and aroma of Fatimas. Although it was not summer, one short little fellow was wearing a straw hat, and what a funny little thing on his chin! No doubt a married man sent on an errand and lost the way home. Another, either a cement mixer or coal heaver, was evidently trying to ward off a cold in his head by keeping his nasal appendage warm. If he ever THE PICKOUT 1912 sneezed, it would be no more. One excited individual was endeavoring to wager the clock on City Hall on the strength of some Valuable Data that he had obtained on Mater, but the ' ' Chem Crabs were extremely reticent towards entering into any such sinful adventures. They were such a docile-looking bunch that a stranger would have expressed little hope for their favorite, were he anything like them. But why this excessive noise? Ah! the contestants are entering with their seconds. They climb into the ring and proceed to their respective corners amid wild cheering. Mater McAie in a pale-blue bathrobe with old gold trimmings, steps with a heavy tread towards his corner. A smile is on his lips, but to the experi- enced eye there is a certain uneasiness about his eyebrows and behind his ears that is not indicative of confidence. Clad in a cerise bathrobe with touches of lavender here and there and walking with the sturdy stride of the trained athlete, Louisa ' s Only Janitor, popularly called Jan, ap- proaches his corner. The calm look on his face gives joy to the hearts of his suspenders and they burst into song. A little man with sharp eyes, steps into the middle of the ring. Who is he? None other than Sherbert Spheroid, the celebrated Antiquarian who knows all there is to know about Link-Ages. He raises his hand, clears his throat, and there is silence. In a deep, heavy voice he begins: — Ladies and gentle- men and empty seats: Owing to the enforced absence of George, I shall have to say a few words of introduction. Not knowing just what to say on an occasion like this, I shall have to refer to my notes. As you know, this is to be a battle royal, and the reason for it is this : Here is to be settled the question of the supremacy of the Loom or Dyepot. The contestants are well known. On my left is Mater McAie, the well-known pin-weight of No. Chelmsford, Champion by Courtesy of Arope, Erope, Irope, Orope, Urope, Syrup, Mexas and Texico. His seconds will be Guiseppe Willmotte, the hard-hitting out- fielder of the Wop League. (He steps forward, bows and is 156 THE P ICKO I ' T 1912 well received), and C. H. Himself, well known among the sporting fraternity as a scientific jack-straw player. (C. H. steps forward, makes a bow, and is about to speak. Cries of ' Unbutton your coat, ' ' Throw out your chest, ' ' I know yer. ' A I last discouraged, he gives up the attempt.) On my right is the redoubtable Louisa ' s Only Janitor, tamed throughout the country as the strongest man that ever punched a bucking typewriter. His seconds will be Ruby Robert Waker and Smiles Catchit. (H. K. W. and Smiles march forward together, bow in unison and receive gentlemanly applause from the ' Crabbers. ' ) The referee for this evening ' s bout will be Heir Hisgirl Frontmaid, popularly known as Hcinic. I thank you. (Heinie, in a dress suit, with a Bock sign on his shirt-front, steps forward, Fellows, I (Sotto voce in audience, Don ' t throw that; you will hit him. ) He begins again, Fellows, I vill dry to referee tis bout to the bes of my ability. Cheers and shouting mingled with the stamping of feet, during which the Cotton Men sing: — Here ' s to Heinie B, drinjk it down, drink it down, Here ' s to Heinie B, drink it down, drink it down, Here ' s to Heinie B, the best man in dear old T, Here ' s to Heinie B, drink it down, down, down. Wild applause from the boiler-room. No; only the fire- man manicuring his fires. A man endeavoring to put his coat collar over his shirt collar without touching either, walks toward the bell and rings it. Ready ! shouts Heinie. The contestants approach the center of the ring. Mater looks overtrained and weary. Jan looks eager for the fray, the muscles showing through the pink flesh at every move of his supple body. Shake, cries Heinie. They shake and the battle is on. They box, each feeling out the other. Much foot work done by both. At last Mater sees a spot on Jan ' s anatomy where a fancy twill would look 157 THE PICKOUT 1912 good. He goes to it, but Jan cannot remove his duke in time and Mater collides with it. Sock!! He falls. One down! bawls Heinie. Jan, overcome with excitement, slips and falls. Two down ! bawls Heinie. Jan rises. One up, one down! bawls Heinie. At the count of eight Mater slowly rises and the round is over. Each seeks his corner to be repaired. A second steps from Jan ' s corner to the ropes and calls a name. Instantly there is a commotion among the Chem Crabs and a small boy emerges so frightened that his hair stands on end. Get me an ice cream soda and a box of Meccas, cries the second. Will I get a slip from Mr. Stewart? No. Clang goes the bell. Mater advances, his visage whitened as by a Madder Bleach, with one large Turkey Red spot in prominence. The round starts quicker. Jan passes and blocks. Mater feints to draw him off his guard, but to no avail. They clinch. Mispick, bawls Heinie as he gets caught behind the ear in an endeavor to separate them. They are at it again. Crash! Jan breaks through Mater ' s guard and lands on his nose. Another crash ! and C. H. Him- self falls into the pail in the seconds ' corner. His Snibbie goes flying upward and Sherbert rushes to his assistance, getting the greatest mechanical efficiency out of the pull to bring him back from Nova Scotia. Even round. Clang! Once more Mater executes a short sprint around the ring. Jan cuts across a corner and gets to him before he can change his direction. Mater ducks and Heinie feels a tap at the spot where his watch-charm usually hangs. Wrong draw, he bawls. It ' s drawing all right, shouts Smiles, but I ' ll soon have to have a pin to hold it. 158 THK PICKOl ' T 10 12 Mater falls to one knee. Heinie begins to count. He rises. They spar. Clang! The round is over. Honors even. In the interim Guisseppe endeavors to give to Mater tho essential points of the manly art, while G. 11. bathos him in Florida Water. R. R. W. pours volumes of encouragement into Jan ' s oar while he takos a drag from Smiles ' Snibbie. Tho boll is ringing again. Why doesn ' t it stop? Then a voice- I ' ll shut off tho alarm it ' you are too lazy to do it. Get up. Sunday morning, and what a dome! 159 THE PICK OUT 1912 Cejrttie dairies ' Out) 4Mcer£ President Miss Rosie Pottinger Vice-President Miss Gertrude Hartshorn Secretary Miss Beatrice Ware Treasurer Miss Sylphie Hathaway atocutitoc Committee Grace Cogswell Sylphie Hathaway Rosie Pottinger Violet Brown Poppaea Weeks The above is the list of officers elected by the members of the Textile Ladies ' Club at the Steenth Annual Meeting, which was held in the boudoir of Miss Gertrude Hartshorn. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read and accepted, the Widow Crane read a highly interesting paper on The Adv antages of a Single Life. Mrs. Crane related several very touching incidents of her own married life, which drew tears from many of the listeners. The meeting took the form of a debate when the hostess, Miss Hartshorn, rose to make a few spirited remarks on Men and Why We Like Them. Miss Hartshorn closed with a very stirring peroration and was hysterical for several minutes at the applause accorded her. Mrs. Plummer then spoke very learnedly on How to Safeguard Our Daughters. Her remarks showed that she had spent much time and study on this matter. Mrs. Mary Rundlett spoke on the Duties of Home Life and the Trials of a Mother. At the close of her talk, Mrs. Rundlett announced that she had weaned her prize baby, Asa Spades Rundlett, and would henceforth be able to devote more of her time to her club duties. Mrs. Rundlett had little Asa with her at the meeting and the little fellow became a warm favorite of all the ladies present. The Treasurer ' s report was then read by Miss Hathaway, 1 60 THE PICKO I ' T 1912 who stated that Miss Poppaea Weeks owed back dues to the amount of tour cents. Miss Weeks who is very hot-tempered, rose iu anger and made a very disgraceful scene, and her language was unladylike to say the least. Order was finally restored after Miss Weeks had lost several pull ' s, and Miss Hatha way ' s guimpe had been badly lorn. Several musical selections rendered by Miss Kaplan during the meeting were thoroughly enjoyed. Four new members were admitted, Miss Melinda Dawson, Miss Frances Comey, Miss Dorothy Blake, and Miss Prudence Tucker. Refreshments consisting of eclairs and lady fingers were served by the hostess, and the meeting then adjourned. Cejrttie alphabet A. is lor Asa whose last name is Spades, B is for Bigelow who picks up French jades. C is for Casey, that worst of all yaps, D for Greg Dalton who shoots all the craps. E stands for Engstrom, a punk engineer, F for Jack Frost whom the girls all think dear. G is for Goodale, a trickster of note, H starts out Hassett who ' d sink any boat. I for Industrial where Clement yas slain, J stands for Jimmy who to save Clem was fain. ft is for Kaplan whose music is sweet, I_ stands for Lillis, an awful dead beat. M is for Munroe who is now the Chief Ed., N stands for Niven who seems almost dead. O begins Otis — Quack! Quack! Ducky Holmes, P stands for Preston of the Wool Catacombs.

(With our most humble apologies to an editorial column of a local newspaper.) It is whispered: — that the Engineering Class may be represented this year at graduation. that this course is steadily growing bigger, better and busier, and that some day it will be one of the recognized courses of the school. that Mr. Herbert Ball with his terrible lectures about epicyclic trains and fast freights, does more than his share toward decreasing the size of this noble class. that by wearing one polka dot necktie for three (3) years, and then hocking the same, he has gathered together enough capital to purchase a one-lung benzine wagon. that some morning it may be found resting peacefully on the long table in room 63, to better illustrate the difficult problems in linkages and strength of materials. that after all is said and done, those who survive him the first year, begin to like him and wish they could see more of him during the remainder of the course. that Loop can read, write, lecture, draw funny pictures on the board, and give out problems, all at the same time and then in the next breath say: — If there are no further questions, the class is dismissed. (The class promptly dis- misses itself in a somewhat dazed condition.) that in spite of all this, he works hard for the school and students and gives an easy exam, when he could give a soak, and is always willing to explain, even though he must think our brains are made of carborundum at times. that Chief Perkins ' lectures to the Freshman class at the end of the first term, to induce them to take his course, quite often have a contrary effect. 164 T HE P ICKO IT 1912 that if somebody swiped his slip-slick, he would have to hire an expert mathematician or else go out of business. that the colors of the rainbow please his fancy, and he always carries a large assortment of colored crayons with him; pink pulleys with green belts seem to be most effective. (which only goes to show that all really great men are slaves to some simple, foolish fad.) that he is famous for the wonderful boiler tests he carries out, and makes himself very popular with the husky chemistry men, to whom he assigns the wheelbarrow and the ash-rake. that Harry Jack does all the real work in the Engineering Department, both for the Department and students as well (and that this has not been whispered very loud before, although it has been going on for some time.) that his motto is, You don ' t need the equation for a parabola to run a lathe. that Mr. L. A. O. in the department of many odors, tries to keep as many Engineers as possible from graduating (so that his own class may be mv st strongly represented at those exercises), by most successfully arguing that 68 is not a passing mark, even on a re-exam. that the memory of this course left with the Engineers has all varieties of bad odors, the sweet ones seeming to be greatly out-numbered. that Cotton Smith ' s apparently easy-going, gentle tem- perament is very deceptive. that he considers bis problems easy for the Engineers and therefore doses them accordingly. that he requires note-books that are fit to be published, and that these are good to have while studying for examina- tions, for after having all the processes therein down pat, he gives five little problems that be invented the night before. that Herb Wood is so slow and deliberate in his actions that some day his joints will all stiffen up, and he will die from lack of exercise. that the contrast between the methods of All-wool 165 THE PICK OUT 1912 Barker (who has no wool over his eyes) and Mr. Smith is so great that the Engineers do not get over it until it is too late. that said Mr. Barker has the very good knack of always appearing very, very busy, not that we doubt this is really the case. that he assumes that the Engineers have a good knowl- edge of chemistry and are thoroughly acquainted with all branches of mechanism, which he quite often reminds them about. (A note here might not be amiss that all the instructors outside of Course VI de light in assuming that the Engineers should know anyway, even if the other men do not.) that Mr. Woodcock delights in giving out the names of the mules employed by the men in the mill business. that his mule thesis is without doubt the biggest roast handed out to the Engineers. that Mr. Howkcr ' s language is so thoroughly enjoyed by the class, that some of the Engineers have adopted it as their own. that Joe Wilmot likes to tell the Engineers stories be- cause he knows that they will not put them in The Pickout that Mr. Eames frequently finds lost Engineers about the building and upon inquiring as to whether or not they are occupied, they reply by this statement: ' We are Engineers. Whereupon Mr. Eames replies, Oh, that ' s dif- ferent. I beg your pardon, and immediately disappears. that the Editor of The Pickout was so hard up Im- material that upon receiving this rubbish he parted with two cigarettes and as many matches. Little Dick says that a seamless-hosiery machine must produce a variated stitch in the leg.

VIII Why are bobbins used, and if not, do you think they ever will be? IX Why are nuts and bolts used to hold together the various parts of a fly frame, rather than nails? X Why do spinning frames have a loose pulley? 167 T UK P 1 C KO IT 19 12 tattsttc0 Age The ages of 1912 men range from 20 to 21. We are old enough as a elass to marry without asking papa, for the average age was a bit over twenty-one. All told we have the experience of seven centuries or about the equal of fourteen terms of life imprisonment. How old is Anne? Height As a bunch we are taller than normal, the average height being 5 feet 10 1-2 inches. Standing one on top of another, the top man would he about fifteen times as high as the top of the electric sign on Charlie Scharf ' s shack. Weight The average weight is approximately 142.59 lbs. Assum- ing the class to he evenly distributed on a 21-foot, 12 x 16-inch hard pine stick the maximum deflection would he about three- eighths of an inch, a reasonably safe working strain, accord- ing to Perk ' s slip-ride. Handsomest Max in the Class John Dalton, Jr., of North Adams is the Apollo of our class, with Burke and Lillis tied for second. Hartshorn, the living testimonial to the efficiency of Pompeian Massage Cream, received one other vote hesides his own and so ranks fourth. Most Popular Jack Frost carries off this event by a big lead, with Lamont second and Blacksmith Conant third. Brightest Sid Munroe eclipsed Conant in candlepower, with Casey third, while Bigelow and Kaplan could be discerned in the outer darkness. 169 THE PICKOUT 1912 Wittiest Barry Shea ' s line of humor won him the jester ' s bells with no other contestant in view. Laziest Poor Kelsey! Just mentioning this name makes us f eel so lazy that we can hardly write. Stubbs ' name calls for honorable mention. Sleep on, little ones. Cheekiest Greg Dalton and Sully were brilliantly silhouetted in the limelight. Greg won by one vote. Windiest This coveted prize was carried off by Hathaway, the only one in the class who knows much of anything. The Gambler and Sully also shone in this contest. Most Versatile Bill Goodale, our all-around artist, won. There was nothing to it but Bill. Best Dressed Dick Conant, the man who never wears an iron shirt, got this honor, but his laundry bills must have been high. Take heed, ye slovenly ones! Pants pressed, 25c. If you can ' t afford to have them pressed put them under the mattress. Biggest Four-Flusher There must be a good many in the class. Choose for yourself. G. Dalton and Dearth tied for first with five votes each. Sullivan, Brown, and Pottinger each got four and the others were scattering. Most Respected Dick Conant wins in a walk. No one else can be seen. Class Shark Munroe wins from Whitehill by two votes. No one else was mentioned more than twice. 170 THE PICKOUT 1912 Thinks He Is This was a close contest between Bigelow and Hathaway and ended in a dead heat. Rundlett also had several thinks, and lour others think that Pottinger thinks he is the real noise. Greatest Fusser When it comes to fussing Hartshorn is the real goods, or at least nearly everyone thinks he is. Class Goat This was a close race between Sullivan and Wilder Cogswell, but the latter forged to the front on the last lap and won by a nose. Casey took third money. Best Athlete Lamont broke away from the field and scored an easy touchdown in this game. Frost chased him for a few yards but stumbled and fell. Class Grind Whitehill comes grinding home an easy winner. Holmes, Munroe, and Leitch were each mentioned four times. Most Apt to Succeed This event was a walk-over for Conant. Dearth and Munroe tied for second with four votes each. Class Heathen Bill Goodale has evidently been the most successful in fighting shy of the missionaries, but Conant and Whittier also showed speed. Most Religious Some contradiction here when you compare this with what precedes. Conant was the only one who finished. Biggest Bluffer This was a close contest but Roily Brown pulled it off with eight votes. Henry Casey and the Gambler were tied for second with six apiece. 171 THE PICKOUT 1912 Worst Woman-Hater The votes were widely scattered, fifteen different names being mentioned. Evidently we are not a class of ladies ' men. Whittier carried away the prize, however, with no one else near enough to count. Slickest Grafter G. Dalton won from Dearth by one vote. Casey and Lamont were mentioned. Worst Roughneck Pottinger held nine aces which was easily the winning hand. Coan ' s six kings were not enough to count. Freshest Speaking of (y)eggs, Greg Dalton was laid one day later than Jimmy Pottinger, according to the data on hand, and so is somewhat the fresher of the two. Neither are so fresh, however, as to prevent their hatching in June. Noisiest That man Frost can make more noise than half a dozen Salvation Army bands all playing at once. He would stand a pretty good chance of waking Kelsey from his dreamless sleep. Most Retiring Whitehill and Demuth tied for first, with Niven one behind them. Busiest Here is where the Pickout management shines. Munroc won by four from Conant. Best-Natured Kerdunk, in addition to being the class goat, is also the best-natured man in the class, for he takes his kidding pretty smoothly. Casey and Preston were each one vote behind Cogswell. 172 THE PICKOUT 1912 Done the Most for L. T. S. Boh Lamont, as president of the Athletic Association, wins this and certainly deserves the title. Owen Carney, Brosnahan, and Sadie Wood were also mentioned as bene- factors of the school. Done the Most for 1912 Lamont wins again, with Ed Crane second. Somebody mentioned Dunning and added two years at hard labor. Biggest Smoker Opinions differ widely here, hut Whanger won with four votes. Conant, Dearth, Rnndlett, and Roche each got three. Favorite Drink It was worse than the tortures of Tantalus for the editors to have to read this list. (Twenty minutes intermission for the Board to go down to Hall and Lyons to try a new one that sounds good.) Among those mentioned by the more degen- erate members of the class were Kirschwasser, Champagne, Absinthe Frappe, Creme de Menthe, Chartreuse, and P. B. One of the humorists said C;H OH with a dash of KCN. These words may be misleading to those outside the school and for their benefit we emphatically state that our class is composed very largely of temperance men, for a large majority of the votes cast were for plain H-0. Here indeed is a fitting place to state that it was through the influence of our class that the granting of licenses was delayed last May. Highest Ambition Here again we have a large list. To get Conant drunk, To get married, To own a mill, To become a trustee and get back at the instructors, To get a diploma, A position at the family table, ' To get a degree, and To get Pimp Hadley ' s job are a few worthy of mention. Favorite Girl ' s Name The votes were well scattered. All nationalities bc ' ng represented, our tastes are certainly cosmopolitan. Beulah was the winner by one vote, one enthusiastic individual adding Binford. Angelina and Ophelia were leading in the early returns, and Lou Dillon ran well. 173 THE PICKOUT 1912 Are You Partial to Any One Girl? Four were frank enough to admit this, but the returns, A big schedule, What ' s the use? Partially, and Not by a d sight show which way the wind blows. One refused to answer on the ground that he might incriminate himself. What Time Do You Retire? Answers vary from 10 p. m. to 5 a. m. Our class wit has said, It ' s never late till two and then it ' s too late. Another sprung the old one — When I get a puncture. Favorite Tobacco O. P. (Other People ' s) wins easily, with Prince Albert and Velvet fighting hard for second place. Favorite Girls ' School Sherburne Reformatory wins the coveted honor. New England Conservatory of Music, Chardon Street Home, and Lowell Hospital Training School finished in the above order. Object in Coming to Textile To keep out of jail, and To take Mechanism three years are the favorites. To work myself to death was also mentioned, but we would like to meet the man who said To die a painless death. Rashest Thing You Have Done Here Registered, Asked Perk a question, Plugged (for an exam.) at the New Merrimac, Paid Athletic Fee, Worked on Boiler Test, Not fit to print, and Went to bed early were some of those mentioned. Salary Expected Here the results ranged from $5.00 per week to $60,000.00 per year. Quite a few wanted a job first and one declared, It depends on whether or not they use cash registers where I work. How Often Do You Write Home? The answers varied from Very Often to Only when necessary and Never. Nearly everyone wrote ' When broke or When I need money. 174 1912 appiteti (Ettotattons Thou art woman-tired. — Joe Thaxter Stay yet another year, thou trusty Welshman. — Murphy A mad cat ruffi an, and a swearing Jack. — Hurld Gold, gold, gold, gold; Bright and yellow, hard and cold. — Doc Madden As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. — Special Designers May your shadow never grow less. — Slats Whalen The tag-end of a misspent life. — Weaver Ward Clubs cannot part them. — Hartshorn and Pottinger Cramm ' d with distressful bread. — Champagne ' s Well-nigh choked with the deadly stink, his forces fail. — Wool Scouring Damme, I ' ll risk it. — Sophs, cutting Cotton For he by geometric scale, Could take the size of pots of ale, Resolve by sines and tangents straight If bread and butter wanted weight. — Rundlett One omnipresent, damned, eternal noise. — Stevens And where a lady ' s in the case, You know all other things give place. — Sime Elliott And trembling thinkers on the brink, Shiver and know not how to think. — Finals Thou grumblest and railest every hour. — Bill Goodale Break, Break, Break. — Chem.

Alas! That heavy-fingered Time must seize These pleasures too, and memories lose their glow, Till they, like childhood ' s games to aged men, Seem naught, a dying echo of the dawn. Are not these college years a briefer life And death enclosed within the longer ones? Do we not come and play awhile and think The end is many, many moons away, And then when we have come to be a part Of this free, vital life whose heart is work, Must we not wander forth — seek paths unknown, Even as those whom velvet-heeled Death Sends o ' er the untrod spaces between worlds? Yea, three brief years, a little life that ends — Others then come to fill the vacant halls, Laugh as we laughed, sing as we sang, And talk as we talked once, on topics old yet new.

But if it comes to bragging, You will not find me lagging, For I know one, whose head was full of knowledge. Now in Lowell ' s smoky clime, Where I have spent my time, A-serving Textile and King Nicotine, Of all that motley crew The finest man I knew Was our Alma Mater ' s leader Charley Eames. It was Oh Mr. Eames And then he ' d show you all of his machines. . He ' d make you pay your fee Before you ' d time to flee, For you could not help but stay with Charley Eames. The uniform he wore Had just come from the store: He was the neatest man you ' d ever find. But when I mention that, I must not forget the hat, For he surely had some hat upon his mind. He wore it to and fro, Wherever he would go — It did not seem to make a difference where. If he went to church on Sunday Or a banquet the next Monday, Y r ou are always sure to find that white lid there. 182 THE IMCKOTT 1 ) 1 2 ! It was Hey! White Hat Eames! (All the children in the streets knew him it seems.) As he walked down throughout the town, They would make their yells resound Oh there goes White Hat Charley, Charley Eames. But he worked hard each day And earned his monthly pay By making Textile better all the while. If you stayed out late or cut You could bet your blooming nut He ' d invite you to his office with a smile, And before you left he would Have you swear that you ' d be good Or it would be so much the worse for you. And if you sulked or lied He would turn you on thctside And send a little note to father, too. It was Eames, Eames, Eames. He ' d go prowling ' round the rooms quite unseen. When we thought that he was out He ' d come sneaking round about, Then we ' d holler — Cheese it, here comes Bunnv Eames. I sha ' n ' t forget the night That I went down to a fight — A place I know that I should not have been. I ' d just quenched my burning thirst, When the man who spied me first Was that same sly old fellow, Charley Eames. He took me by the arm And he led me safe from harm And he got a glass of Lowel l water — green. It was crawling and it stunk, 183 1912 ut of all the drinks I ' ve drunk 11 ne ' er forget that one on Charley Eames. It was mighty good for Eames — He didn ' t have a nickel, so it seems — And he tried to use me right, Although he didn ' t quite, That ' s the only drink I ' ve had on Charley Eames. When Graduation ' s come, And our school work is done, And the wide, wide world upon us hrightly beams, Then we ' ll take our little Dip And start out upon our trip, And we ' ll have to say good-bye to Mr. Eames. But we ' ll meet him later on, When he is dead and gone, Where you ' ll always find missed picks and crooked seams: He ' ll be squatting on the coals Helping out poor Textile souls And we ' ll get advice in Hell from Charley Eames. For it ' s Eames, Eames, Eames, — How that name haunts me in my dreams! But when all is said and done And our life ' s course is run, . ou ' ve done your best for us, Charley Eames. JOKE!

When Mr. Eames wants something fine, He is the first to fall in line; He pats poor Jack upon the back — (It ' s always well to show some tact) — Let Jack do it!

MEXICAN ATHLETES— SLINGING THE BULL 18 r II E PICK 0-U R 1912 C|)e aatme of tjje ancient Mentor It is an ancient Senior, And he diggeth in the rib A Freshman thin, who, with sheepish grin, Has been caught with a neat little crib. Now wherefore, quoth the Senior, With hypocritical smile, Dost thou spend thy time on a thing like this, When thou mightst do things worth while? Then spake the trembling Freshman In a voice that was full of awe, We must do it to pass our exams, tho ' we know Full well ' tis against the law. But if ye flunk them, what care ye? Tho ' it be Math, or Chem. When I was a Freshman, long years ago, I cared not for one of them. Kind sir, begged the Freshman, unhand me, I must go to see Herbie Ball, For I ' m due now at a Mech. recitation, And a cut would complete my fall. Full quick he ceased his pleading, And he gasped lest he should die, For a terrible look did scintillate, From the Senior ' s glittering eye. And he dared not raise his dukes up, Unless they were armed with knives, For the Senior ' s arm at its end did bear A horrible bunch of fives. 188 THE PIGKOUT Now list to me, thou quivering whelp. And 1 will tell thee here Of deeds we did in times of yore That wrung men ' s hearts with Tear. A goodly elass and a merry We entered old Textile ' s gates, And the Profs, eftsoons discovered That with us came evil fates. There was a Thing we called Gladys, Nickerson was the name It bore : It ' s hair was like unto rotten straw, And its mouth like an open door. Whether man or woman or beast It was, Was a thing .c never did know, But electric light bulbs we threw at It Until there were no more to throw. The bulbs did break on the blackboard And some of them broke on Its head, Until the Thing did shiver and quake As if It would like to be dead. And when it was time for the five-weeks, No use for cribs had we, For Gladys dared not flunk a soul Of that merry company. But a worthier foe we now had met: A man both nervy and strong, We went after him, and he went after us From the very first stroke of the gong. We started out mildly by prompting, But our team work he soon did break up By bawling us out by the hundred, And with wretchedness filled our cup. 189 19 12 When tHMjwas done, we every one Did tear up the chairs from the floor. We smashed every window and broke every chair Until poor Clem said no more would he hear — ■ But still we did it some more. One day in his room we shut him And deftly locked up the door, But he got out his book, and at us took a look And the flunks went down by the score. Thus blithely did the year pass by, And when the summer was o ' er, Returning again to this good old shack, We found Clem waiting for more. ' The war was now ordered with system In one pitched battle per week, And with lust for the fray returning We were eager our vengeance to wreak. From far and wide came munitions : From swill pail and grocery store — Bananas from Dodge ' s, donated by Rogers, The commuters pinched spuds by the score. As soon as the class would assemble, We would drive them at poor Clement ' s pill, They ruined his collars and spotted his coat And covered the floor with mashed swill. Our foe did now his yellow show, No more flunks did he hand out: They had lost their terrors anyway For the crowd had been flunked throughout. Instead he called in an ally, A wily detective, who stole On gum-shoes to the finishing office And piped us off through the key hole. 190 THE IMCKOIT 1 91 2 SlVl_N MI And when, before Clement ' s hoi lire, Our leaders refused to retire. The sleuth smuck in quick And captured a trick, And we got the lull force of his ire. Such stunts as this we thought amiss And vowed we would have retribution: An expert chemist we called on lor aid Who concocted a potent solution. Of all the smells we ever did smell No other so loathsome did smell As that smell that we smelled when we mixed up thai smell In the Lab., ever reeking with smell. We poured it carefully on the floor, Right under the table where Jack stood. We all went out, but he stayed there — We know now why the stench he could bear, For he ate where they sell iron food. But Sir, quoth the Freshman in wonder, How dared ye do these things? They sound like the deeds of King Arthur, Or the heroes whom Homer sings. Aha, said the Senior, how little thou know ' st, This wonderful Senior Class ! Why, every one ' s as merry a gent, As ever drained a glass. Of one other deed will I tell thee, — An affair both facetious and bold, It thoroughly peeved Louie Olney, For his dog in its tail did catch cold. 191 IHE PIC U-T, 1912 The dog Strolled into the Chem Lab., Wagging its shaggy tail: It came out in dismay with its tail twix its legs — A tail as bare as a nail. Louie ' s blood did boil when lie saw the poor purp, And inquiry he straight instituted, But he never did know who the humorist was Who the dog ' s tail of hair destituted. So heed, thou smooth-faced Freshman This story wondrous and true, Of the deeds performed by your betters, And go forth and likewise do. The Freshman ' s eye did fill with tears, And a grievous sob sobbed he, For he pondered on his wasted years And sighed, Ah, woe is me! He dashed the tear drop from his eye, And when he next did look The Senior was n o longer there And with him, into empty air Had vanished, he was now aware, His new loose-leafed note-book. He felt much like an icicle In the realms of Hades born: A sadder and a wiser bird He rose the morrow morn. Barker (in Wool lecture) : — I can take this bunch of wool which I have in my hand, put it in my hat, place the hat upon my head, and you wouldn ' t know that there was any- thing in it. 192 THE IMCKOl ' T 19 12 €o tl)c Moy$ of tl)c JDclta liappa pi)t 2n lEcbo of tljc ©ante Now there ' s Francis P. Madden, the boy with the hop, And wherever he is someone yells Heigh there, Doc ! He ' s certainly a chap of the greatest renown, So there ' s nothing too good for him in old Lowell town. Now his room-mate, Mr. Church, is the grand Beau Brummel, For he ' s broken the heart of many a belle. Xext on our list comes George, the dear boy, Who has given his heart to a Winthropite coy, Now we cannot blame him for she ' s surely a peach. But there ' s plenty of Lowell buds just within reach. I almost forgot his college chum, Jim. Who made such a hit with his good-natured grin. The next one I think of is dear Mr. Cleary, One chap in a hundred, who never looks weary. Oh ! and his friend, I think his name ' s Sam, Who, when at school, is a very studious man, And now I am thinking of that famous night When we danced the Boston and did it just right. Mr. Folsom is next and though he tries to be good, He wakes up the house with his password, Hea wood. Xow little Bill Casey, the next I recall, Should be Number One on that famous roll-call : He ' s the neatest and sweetest little chap that I know, But there, it would not do to tell the boy so. I think I neglected our friend, Mr. Plummer, The boy that can dance and sure is a hummer. Dearest Chick Rayner, whom we all know about. Is what Doc would call him, One good old scout. Now boys, I have tried to get you all right, And I think I have said quite enough for tonight. I sincerely trust that I did not offend, As I want vou to know I am vours to the end. v From One of the Fair Gtests 193 1912 ©ualttattoe To the aqueous solution you must add s ome HC1; You will find that this precipitates the silver pretty well. Addition of some H- ' S will give a brownish-looking mess; For the metals of the second group are knocked down by the smell. You will usually find it well to filter this, I think, Adding nitric to the filtrate and then driving off the stink; Ammonia now in slight excess will bring down reddish flocks, I guess. The filtrate should be colorless or very slightly pink. By the use of little labels, such as This is very hot, You will save your stock of beakers and profanity a lot — A drop of (NH 4 ) 2 S will change the color more or less, Which will vary with the nature of the substances you ' ve got. To the filtrate — which is boiling — add ammonium carbonate, And the calcium, et cetera, will at once precipitate. Analysis will now progress with only limited success; I have found the only thing to do is just to speculate. Just report a little sodium; it ' s almost always there; If it wasn ' t in the sample it ' ll get in from the air. The alkalies, I must confess, are largely matters of finesse, And you needn ' t really test for them — unless you ' ve time to spare. 194 THE PICK OUT 1!) 1 2 RATHER ANCIENT Joe Wilmot (bursting into Lecture Room) : — Order, tlemen ! Barry Shea: Two beers! Mr. Wood (lecturing on comber): — The nippers close at 11. Voice in the corner: — So do the bars. AND HE USED TO BE AN ENGINEER Casey: — Bet you don ' t know whether that is a generator or a motor. Murphy: — It ' s a motor of course -- don ' t you see it driving the engine? AT ASSOCIATE Freshman (trying hard to waltz) : — One, two, three; one, two, three; one, two, three. His Partner (sarcastically):- Are you an adding ma- chine? Freshman: — No, that is my slide rule. 195 1912 Cfje 33allat of tijc jEeto lotler ©oust He stood behind the Engine House, His slide-rule in his hand. Some men were rushing to and fro, And some were mixing sand. He came to watch his work progress And make each part go right. He grasped his pipe between his teeth And thought with all his might. Just then Ulysses Loop rushed up The slide-rule, Perk! he said. Slip, slip, the slippery slip-stick slipped As Perkins scratched his head. Well, that is very nearly right, — Approximately so. What say you, Mr. Lupien, If we should let that go? Now Loop don ' t think that that ' s quite right, In fact he tells Perk this. To be exact you should apply Differential Calculis. Well, suit yourself, you know what ' s best, I ' ve got no time to spare, And thereupon Perk beats it back To his good old office chair. So poor old Loop toils on each day From rise till set of sun, Then forth comes Perk and proudly says: — Behold! My Boiler House is done. 196 1912 tj)e Wtvfot 3 oom Alter the noonday lunches, When the cards have been put away, I mournfully put on my overalls, For I now must stop all my play. I hear on the floor above me The sound of machinery ' s din; And I know by the noises that issue That the cards have started in. So I suddenly grab up my reed hook, And with a big skip and a bound I rush up the stairs in a hurry, For I know Joe is always around. I go to my loom in the corner And oil it well to begin, For Joe told me, before I start weaving To see that the loom is in trim. As I look around the weave-room I see all around me so busy, The faces of Cotton and Wool men, Some fair, some dark, some nifty. The fellows are all at work now, There ' s Bill and Sid and Bob, And Francis, Casey and Bigelow; They all belong to the mob. Now there ' s Bob, he ' s nifty at weaving Fine dress goods, for fine ladies ' wear; It ' s made out of nice white worsted, And it ' s wove with a great deal of care. 198 T 1 1 E P I C K T T Sid also works on dress goods; lie ' s figuring with extra warp, But the loom lie works it so fast That the shuttle sometimes gets caught. Now Bill, he ' s weaving a shirting He ' s going to buy from the school. It ' s made out of tine counts cotton That is carefully spun on the mule. Bill always sits down when he ' s tired And watches the shuttle weave, And dreams of those wonderful shirts He ' s going to have when he leaves. The pattern Shea ' s got is a corker — On twenty-six harness, I think — But the chain was so long and dirty, He ' s still washing his hands at the sink. You needn ' t laugh when I tell you, That Francis once worked in a mill, I ' m afraid when he got his envelope All he got was one little bill. There ' s Crane, he used to weave towels; But Joe put him onto a loom Where he ' s weaving the best cotton dress goods That ' s found anywhere in the room. ' ' Casey, oh, he ' s still taking weaving, And passes it with a C; And he ' s studying now like the devil To pass in his Chemistry. Harry ' and Jack work together On a piece of indigo blue, And when they get through weaving They ' re covered with blue through and through. 199 THE PICK04JT 1912 ow Whaiiger he ' s weaving a kersey, But the piece he can ' t make it start; The ends keep breaking and cutting — Mack picked him out for a mark. The job he first thought was easy, Till he had to wind all his threads, And run fifty yards on his spooler, Until he was pretty near dead. But finally he got it all beamed, And fixed up in his loom; But the reed was too small for the counts, And the shed it opened too soon. Now Jimmy ' s got something elaborate, And the weight of the cloth is extreme; Sixteen ounces it ' s woven in loom: After finishing ' twill be a scream. The toy loom George ' s got is a corker, The cloth is two feet wide; He had to change all his binders, For he only figured one side. Now Dick is tired of Cotton, So he ' s going to weave up some stock That is made out of nicely spun worsted; The cotton yarn ' s gone on the rock. Why he is so long and so slender, He has to stoop over to weave; And had he to draw many ends in, ' Twould make him shake in the knees. Bigelow he ' s some weaver, And works till his fingers get sore; He can find his pick with the head motion, Good as any man on the floor. 200 THE PICK OUT My loom had just go! started, When it banged-off with a terrible sou For the shuttle was in the wrong box, And the lay did not work round. Joe put the loom in protection, With the boxes just coming in sight — One-eighth of an inch from the race plate Then he tightened the picker light. Then he picked the shuttle over, And the shuttle it shot across; Now I know, if I tried to do it, It surely would have banged-off. Now if ever your loom ' s in trouble, Why just go right up and tell The man who can fix it so easily, Joe, whom we know so well. Now Joe, he ' s the boss of the weave-room, A better one seldom is found; So kind, so happy, and jolly, The joy of the fellows around. And I ' m afraid it ' s going to be bard, Joe, To leave you very soon, But I know we ' ll never forget The essentinals of the loom. Frost: — What do they have wooden columns bored for? Bigelow: — They run steam through them to heat the mill. Frost: — Is that right? I didn ' t know that before. 201 1HE PICKTO E i 19 12 H ane: — GijfUDlljne back my eraser, Hurld. Hurld: — TnaTs not yours. I pinched it this morning from Leffmgwell. Crane curses and scratches his head, at the same time, in third year Design. Heinie: — Hard job, Crane? Crane: — I ' m trying to find something that will go in 21 evenly besides 7 and 3. Shea:— Isn ' t Wl larger than Wl? 8 4 Perkins : — Which had you rather have, one-eighth of a thing or one-fourth? Shea: — Depends on what it is.

Hurld (throwing the black cat into the middle of the table) :— All black ! Crane, walking around happily in Cotton Lab., is heard to mutter : — Gee, I bet I ' ll make money in the cotton busi- ness. I had a 35-lb. picker lap, removed seven per cent card waste, and got forty-one pounds of sliver off the card. 207 1912 EARD IN ELECTRICAL LAB. Why is Sully like a series motor? ' I dunno — Why is Sully like a scries motor? Because he gives so much torque. (Don ' t hit him till he takes his glasses off!) Instructor: — Opera glasses arc not used to look at heavenly bodies. Voice in the distance: — Well, I ' m not so sure. Perk : — And now let ' s take a back-sight. (Sully pastes his eye to the front end of the telescope.) Instructor (to future dyer) : — The bath should be more thoroughly exhausted. Future Dyer: — I know it, but it refuses to get tired. Kirkpatrick :— How is H 2 distilled, Mr. Poor? Poor: — I haven ' t got that far yet. Kirkpatrick: — Well, you ' ve got a big jump before you. Poor: — I hope to make it some day when I get a flying start. Sullivan incmires in Wool Finishing if crabbing illum- ates the felt. During a heated discussion on whether or not Perk can define infinity, Huck Sawyer asserts that infinity is something that always approaches something forever and never gets there. Pretty close. Kirkpatrick : — What is the difference between saltpetre and Chili saltpetre? Tucker: — One has Chili in it and the other doesn ' t. Mr. Perkins (speaking of laying plank floors) : — At least every two arc spiked together. 2oS THK 1MCK0UT 19 12 Herbsman raises his hand in chemistry recitation. Instructor: — What do yon want? Herbsman: — I want to ask yon a question. Herbie Wood (lecturing in Cotton) : — Everything in red is connected and everything in white is connected. They are both separated but they all work together. Joe (in Warp Preparation lecture) : — I got this sizing recipe from a man in a mill. It was his own private mixture, so he told me to keep it to myself. All right, now — here it is. Take it down as I read it. Sime Elliott (showing a young lady through the Wool department) : — That is Mr. Barker, head of this depart- ment. The Young Lady:— What, is that little fellow with that on his chin head of this department? 209 THE PICKOUT 1912 NO HOPE Perk (after spending half an hour explaining the prop- erties of cast iron columns) : — Do you understand that now, Mr. Lamont? Lamont: — No, sir, I don ' t think I do. Perk : — Then I guess you never will. Bill Goodale had just finished making a heart-rending apology to Mr. Bachmann before the Senior class in Cotton Design. Heinie: — Veil, Gootale, I don ' dt hope tiss vill effer haf to oggur again. Casey (in Knitting lecture) on a Lewiston Bag Loom? Can you weave a sweater IT ' S HARD TO DO WITHOUT A MAKEUP Harry Lauder : — I don ' t think myself that they can get as much from two Banner machines as they do from three of the other kind but they certainly get more. 2T0 T II E PI CKO IT Some wit luis observed that Mr. Perkins ' lectures in Mill Engineering consist mainly of dry rot.

When using this machine it gets, as a rule, one or two more strips out of a bolt of cloth than is possible with any other method of cutting, for the reason it is necessary to turn in only xV on the side, and every piece is cut absolutely perfect and trims off from ■J- to | on the selvage.

' .. ' 6,279 This comparative circulation is very natural, because the American Wool and Cotton Reporter is the only newspaper covering the textile industry of the United States. The reason why no other equally good source of information exists re- specting every phase of textile manufacturing is because we have upon our editorial staff experts in every department of manufacturing and mill management. Our mechanical engineers are constantly informed respecting questions of construction and equipment; our overseers and superintendents are familiar with the conduct of all processes in mills; our cost-finders and designers keep in constant touch with the output of every textile mill ; our market reporters know how every variety of fabric is selling and what mill produces it; personal acquaintance keeps us positively in- formed as to the human element in the management and the relations between manufacturers and heads of departments. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter is the one source in the United States from which such information can be obtained. Our Cooperative Textile Handbook, of which the second edition is now about to be published after twelve months of active and expensive preparation, contains not only a complete directory of every textile mill in the United States, but also state- ments of assets and liabilities, and a classified list of the names and occupations of 25,000 overseers and other mill officials.

Used as a bleach assist, and in dyeing of sulphur colors WYAN- DOTTE TEXTILE SODA proves itself worth many times the price asked for, considering the amount you need to use to obtain the desirable results it guarantees. And again it imparts to the Cottons that silky look, that soft feel, and eliminates entirely that red bronz effect so common where soda ash is used. If you do kier boiling you can use WYAN- DOTTE CONCENTRATED ASH with equally as much profit and improvement as you obtain from the use of WYANDOTTE TEX- TILE SODA for the uses for which it is recom- mended. This is partly due to the purity of WYAN- DOTTE CONCENTRATED ASH, its bene- ficial effect on the water and its power of increasing penetration. And as compared to soda ash only one-half the quantity of WYANDOTTE CONCEN- TRATED ASH will give immeasurably better results, and at an equal and often times a less cost.

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 or 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.

P- 43 Textile World Record p. 43.... 6,2jg In the introduction to this directory it was stated that The asterisk ( ) placed at the left of ciruculation figures indicates that the figures will be proven by open books to those entitled to make such investigation. This, in our opinion, is the final test of the circulation of papers in this class. It will be noted that, of the 11 textile publications listed, three gave us no cir- culation figures ; seven assured us that their books were open, and one gave fig- ures without the open book provision. The last mentioned publication, the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, of Boston, has republished this list, leaving off all the asterisks. Over the list it prints this caption : TEXTILE NEWSPAPER CIRCULA- TIONS (From Advertising Selling ' s Di- rectory of Trade, Technical, Mechanical and Engineering Papers for November, 1911.) This would lead the reader to the belief that Advertising Selling stood spon- sor for these figures in that form, and the omission of the asterisks places the eight publications which gave figures on the same basis of presumptive credibility. Advertising Selling printed the statements given by the various publish- ers, standing behind none of them. The omission of the asterisks and of the ex- planation of what they meant is mis- leading. In filling out the blank which we fur- nished for that purpose, the American Wool and Cotton Reporter gave its ave- rage number of copies printed each issue during the 12 months ending with Sep- tember 1, 1911 as 11,000 to 16,000. We used the smaller figure, 11,000, in the directory. The question, Are your sub- scription books open for inspection? was answered by Frequently open to advertisers at our discretion. This re- sponse was not considered to be of a nature which entitled the publication to the asterisk. We have no knowledge of what the circulation of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter may be ; but we regard the manner in which it has misquoted from our directory as unfortunate and unjustifiable. We make this statement in justice to those publishers in the tex- tile field who stand unqualifiedly for the open book policy.
