Often during those years of work we shall look back upon the happy days spent at Textile and think of the many fast friends we made and parted from. Then when such a feeling of longing comes o ' er us, we can take up this little volume, wherein are record- ed memories dear to all loyal sons of old Textile, and we shall feel young again, while our hearts will bound with the spirit of our Alma Mater, as we glance over its pages. So, in years to come, if this volume of the Pickout will nourish your spirit and keep within your breast an undying memory for the old School, we shall rejoice, for its mission will have been accomplished. -J o o X u en uJ -J H X f- -J -J UJ O -J u- O en a z a j 3 CQ Q Z en a z D o a a u ) H H UJ en D I U en en -J _J UJ O Ill if 1 111 III iiiiiin H in yn 1 i lllllHI iiiniSiiji ' jjiii ' ■ • ' ii ' illll iiiiiiiiittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHi .■III 1L ..I aj-iin iiiL ' llll 11 r Z 1 _ i.

Richardson Representative to Athletic Council 23 fltstorp of tlie Class of jEmeteen f unDrrt Cinrteen Never before in the history of the Lowell Textile School had such a large number registered as did one September morning three years ago. It was on the twenty-sixth of that month that the illustrious class of nineteen thirteen first came into existence, a class which has never looked backward, but ever into the future, with a full determination -to succeed and make a new mark, so that it might raise the scholastic standing of the school and give this institution a high rank among the foremost technical institutions of the country. The first morning at school will linger in the minds of us all. It was during the first half hour that we performed idiotic stunts to amuse the tyrannical Sophomores, who stood near with spankers and other implements of torture, to inflict punishment if we concluded our performance too soon or failed to comply with their erratic ideas. Following our extemporaneous performance, we were escorted, with one shoe on and the other off, to room sixty- three, where Principal Eames introduced himself and gave his customary fatherly advice. Then the actual work began, which we have diligently endeavored to master throughout our careers as Lowell Textile School students. On September twenty-ninth the Freshman class was organized, and thenceforth, on account of its in terest and loyalty manifested at the start, it came to be considered by the upper classes as an important factor in the school life. The next events of importance in the history of our class were the Freshman-Sophomore football game and flag rush. The former resulted in a complete victory for our upper classmates, while we showed a strong come back in the rush and captured the pennant easily. Later in the winter our first class banquet was held at the Waverly Hotel and proved a decided success, both from a social and financial 24 THE PICKOUT 1913 standpoint. The next social events in which our class took part were the Textile Show and the trip Upstream, on both of which occasions the class was ably represented. The fall of nineteen hundred and eleven found the majority of the class back in the City of Spindles, which now seemed like home. Our first day as Sophomores was spent in harrassing the Freshies, who proved a meek and lowly lot. Unlike the members of the previous classes, they offered no resistance to our imperious comman ' ds and thus caused us no trouble in showing them just where they stood. Our last interclass football game and flag rush proved our undoing as athletes for we were vanquished in both. The social events which followed were entered into with the usual class spirit which we have always manifested, and it is with a feeling of mingled gratitude and pride that we have at last reached the goal toward which we have been striving for the past three years. But now that we have actually touched it, we see behind us a past which urges us not to pause and consider our victories already won, but to press forward and by our efforts, double the five talents already bestowed upon us. Emboldened, then, by the progress we have already made, and eager to find what lies before, let us pause only to say farewell, and tomorrow let us be ready to accept con- ditions as we may find them and make the best of them. So let us begin with some definite end in view and work always toward it. Specialization is one of the characteristics of the era and to it are largely accountable the marked advances which have been made. We, also, must specialize in what we undertake to the extent of rendering that under- taking perfect in so far as such a thing is possible. Then shall we be honored and our opinions respected among men. 25 HERBERT BOWEN BENNETT AK$ HERBIE Pickout, 3 Asst. Manager Baseball, 2 Rams, 2, 3 Manager Baseball, 3 Textile Show, 3 Behold the man who has won for himself the title of chief of rough necks. He started life even as you and I, and his earlier years were spent in learning the difference that exists between bovines of various ages, until he became proficient enough to be able to tell their ages at a glance. The fancy for domestic animals was replaced by a great love for the study of the wool fibre, and to satisfy this craving, he came over hill and dale to study under Eddie, the wise. He broke up the monotony of study by taking short trips to Boston, and it seems strange that these were not extended to Portland where he is said to have great interests. Wednesday afternoons he almost always drives a noble steed around town, and the Editor will always remember the good lectures on animals, natural history, and human nature, which Herbie was wont to give on those long drives. He surely is a fine fellow and always showed an interest in the school and in his work, and, as he is bound to do the same with his future work, those who get him upon graduation may consider themselves lucky. HAROLD PATY CHURCH PADY Pickout Board, 2 Society Designers, 1, 2, 3 From the state where the first cotton mill was built, there came to us this worthy youth, but it was not until he had spent a few years, at Dartmouth, that he decided to cast his lot with Textile men. On entering, he joined Heine ' s flock, and we are glad to say that he stuck it out to the finish. Nevertheless our faith in his love of work was greatly shaken by his frequent and extended stays in Providence. We hear there is some at- tractive Eve laying her snares for him in that city, but they surely must be weak, for he has always been able to break away and return to us. Pady delights in small games of chance with room-mate Artie, and it is a well known fact that each one takes a turn in winning. He surely is some boy with the mandolin, as well as with pen and brush, and we do not doubt that some day we shall be wearing cloth which he has designed. 26 THE PICKOUT 1913 CHARLES JOSEPH CLEARY AK CHARLIE Skull and Bones, 2, 3 Glee Club, 1 Rams, 1, 2, 3 Football, 3 Captain Baseball, 2 Textile Show, 1, 2, 3 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Athletic Council, 3 Class Football, 2 Vice-President L. T. S. A. A., 2 A staunch supporter of Gene. A baseball player of no mean ability. A great rough houser. A devoted admirer of the fair sex. A man of excellent habits. A great bull fighter and one who has been known to throw the bull every time. A brow who knows the wool fibre from A to Z. A youth who claims this picture does not do him credit. A strong supporter of the green. A fellow whose opinion is highly valued. A fellow who has his nerve and who carries a free pass to success. A strong worker for the school. A man whom with all his faults we love still. KENNETH BARTLETT COOK KENNY Class Secretary-Treasurer, 3 Textile Show, 3 Cotton Club, 1, 2, 3 Cotton Cards, 1, 2, 3 During the first two years he marched in the files of com- muters, but lately having become more trusted by his folks, he has been allowed to live in town. He proved himself worthy, for he still continued to get H ' s in his exams, and as he is one of Steve ' s strikers, he stands in line for the cotton medal. Coming from historic Concord, Kenny has a great liking for military work, and so he puts in his spare time dril- ling with the militia of that town. Like all good soldiers, he is very fond of soft eyes, and this probably accounts for his great Happiness when he is up in the Design Department. He is very clever on the ivories and would make a valuable acqui- sition for some movie house. His real profession should be that of an instructor, for he surely would make good at it. GUY TALBOT CREESE GUY Alembic Society, 3 This worthy brow wandered in from the Pine Tree State seat of knowledge to enlighten his brain in the mysteries of chemistry. It is a puzzle to one not knowing him, how one head can hold in such a vast accumulation of knowledge re- garding the dyeing of the epidermis of man ' s best four-footed friends. Aside from this he can also expound fluently on the advantage of the Danvers fire department and electric light plant. Furthermore, he can ask questions that will tax the in- tellects of instructors from Perk to Doc. Smith, which proves that, although he hails from Danvers, the haven of nuts, he is far from being one himself. We predict for him a bright future, and we look forward to the accomplishment of great marvels from him in the leather industry. 27 THE PICKOUT 1913 ARTHUR NAPOLEON DAVIEAU Engineering Society, Captain Baseball, 3 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 DAVY 2, 3 Class Football, 2 Football, 3 Class Vice-President, 3 He is a very quiet, good natured youth, and one who sup- ported the honor of his class and school on the gridiron. He is enlisted in Perk ' s army, and owing to his honesty and love of work, he is allowed to correct math, problem books. His first two years were spent in the sanctity of his room, working hard over his studies, but recently it has been reported that he has been out late nights. For femmes he has no use, and we deduce that there is one who takes up all his at- tention in Cochituate, his home town. He is Captain of the baseball team this year, and judging from his work of the past years while he was pitching, we are lead to expect a banner season of victories. A hard and steady worker and one who can always be depended upon, he will surely make good in the engineering field. ALEXANDER DUNCAN DAVIS ALEX Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 An -ge-e-o-h! So sings this bird all day long. He is a follower of the slide rule brigade and queers everything by having his work done on time. Ah, when we think of the long hours he spends on his various subjects, we can appreciate the fact that he is a hard worker. In fact he has killed many a fine hair which had grown on his head by continually worrying and thinking. Not content with worrying himself, he keeps the instructors worried by his fire of questions, which he usually hands out at the end of each recitation. Before entering Textile, he had some experience along mill lines, and now having ac- quired a large amount of knowledge, he is bound to make rapid strides in the textile industry. ROY DEARBORN lizzie, Alias mrs. horton Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Every day this brow makes his weary way from Andover to the City of Spindles, where he comes to train his mind along engineering lines. This little trip must surely agree with him, for he seems to have a large amount of surperfluous fat about him. Roy seems unable to suppress a great desire to boss, for any time there is any work going on, he is always ready to offer suggestions regarding its accomplishment. Some day he may have a position where he can exercise his nature to his heart ' s desire, and then he will be happy and contented. 28 THE PICK OUT 1913 CATHERINE ESTELLA FEINDEL Society Designers, 2, 3 Miss Feindel has the distinction ot being the only co-ed in Textile. She is making a special study of Design, and as regards her work and behavior we have nothing but praises to utter. She is very clever with the brush and her designs seem to cast a shadow on those made up by the fellows taking the same course. This is very natural because she ' s a girl, and don ' t girls always out-shine mere men in everything they set their hand to ? We have never heard her say anything re- garding women ' s rights, and in fact Miss Feindel is so unas- suming and quiet, that the fellows do not get all fussed up when she ' s around. Her interest in class affairs has been of the best and if she continues to give attention to her work she ' ll surely make a success of it, that is if ARTHUR NORTON GADSBY AK$ ARTIE Rams, 2, 3 Football, 3 Class Football, 2 This intelligent looking North Adamite is a graduate of Williams. He was received by Eddie with open arms during our second year, and he has proved a valuable third to the wool class. Artie has a keen, calculating mind, and has the habit of turning his tongue over seven times before speaking. When listening to lectures, one might think he was in agony, but you may rest in peace, for that is only his way of showing interest. Liking work better than the social life, he has kindly offered to write a thesis on the woolen mule for Gene. We are sorry we cannot tell you of his success, as it is not fin- ished at the time this goes to press. Artie is a good worker, and it is a cinch to see he will turn out to be an A-i man. CHESTER TEMPLE HORTON WATER PIPE Engineering Society, 2, 3 Do you remember in History how the plow was dropped and each man hustled to the nearest recruiting station to enlist in the army during the revolutionary days? Well, when the Textile industry called for trained men, Chester, like the men in days of old, dropped the plow in Wilmington, and shouldering a lead pencil, came to Textile. Having aided in the building of barns and houses, he decided to cast his lot with the engin- eers, and it is well he did, for amongst them he found his affinity. Providing he keeps away from water pipes, we are sure he will make out all right and will be a credit to the class. 29 THE PICKOUT 1913 ARTHUR KIMBALL JOHNSON JOHN Alembic Society, 2, 3 Each and every morning of the school year, there is one who rises at cock crow and plods his weary way to the depot where he takes a caboose on the Lawrence express to Lowell. There he arrives with a bag containing numerous volumes per- taining to the science of Chemistry, under one arm, while under the other, he has the where-with-all with which to pacify the inner-man during the noon hour. Judging by the amount of knowledge he has stored away in his brain, we feel assured that he will have enough to last him up the rough path of suc- cess. HAROLD THOMAS MATHER on HAROLD Engineering Society, 2, 3 Yes, this is the little boy who shouldered a rifle and marched forth to quiet down the rioting strikers in Lawrence where it is reported that he did noble work ! How the damsels must have eyed him in his uniform, but alas, their efforts were all in vain, for girls he does not like. He is a hard worker and devotes most of his time to his studies. This probably accounts for his sense of humor being undeveloped. He is very fond of mathematics and it is with joy that we can look forward to see him become a great engineer, thus bringing fame to the school and to Lowell, his home town. JAMES MURRAY JIM Alembic Society, 2, 3 Textile Show, 3 Captain Football, 3 Class Football, 2 Jim is our only married man, and on account of this fact he has always been a commuter. As married men ' s lives are far more valuable than those of the single men, he was not allowed to enter atheltics. He, nevertheless, played football during the last year, and on account of his weight and size, he proved a valuable asset to the team. He is a fine musician and has often delighted the bunch with his music during noon hours. Jim is a good chemist and has been grabbed up to do assistant work in the Chemistry Department. He tends to business and will make a valuable man for some firm manu- facturing chemical goods. 30 THE PICKOUT 1913 CARROLL WILMOT PECK on POD Alembic Society, 2, 3 Football, 3 Pickout Board, 3 Class Football, 2 Lo, he ' s a minister ' s son ! Having exhausted all the prep- schools in Connecticut, he came to Textile and has made good with a vengeance. He was very bashful at first, but he soon re- covered from that disease under the expert tutelage of Herbie Bennett. Sleeping in the morning is his chief failing, and it is rumored that violence has to be used to wake him up. Being a juggler of test tubes and beakers, he has decided that the easiest way to make his fortune is by discovering a way of bleaching jute. At present he is working hard to obtain favorable results, and we sincerely trust that his work will be rewarded with suc- cess. Good luck to you, Pod ! When you make your pile, come around. RAY CHARLES PILLSRURY tap alias RED PILL Cotton Club, 1, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 2 Football, 3 Pres. Athletic Association, 3 Cotton Cards, 1, 2, 3 Class Football 2 Way back in the year nineteen hundred and eleven there came to us a bashful, unsophisticated, red-headed youth, who had for his motto the beautiful word Work. His first year was spent under Sylvain ' s wing, and at that time his reports showed the 6est of marks. During the succeeding years he dropped his boyish pranks and became an instigator of rough-houses ; later his superfluous energy was transferred to the football field where he proved a valuable asset. Tobacco he abhors, pre- ferring the taste and fragrance of cubebs, much to the sorrow and distress of his room-mate. A prodigy of Steve, he will some day run the Amoskeag and become a power in the textile industry. ELLIOT BARTON PLUMMER BABE Alembic Society, 2, 3 Glee Club, 1 Pickout Board, 3 Textile Show, 3 A scout who comes from the nearby town of Lawrence, and the first two years we find him filling the coffers of the Bay State Railway with his hard-earned nickels. In other words, he commuted until he became sophisticated enough to be allowed to live in Lowell. He ' s one of Olney ' s faithfuls during the day, and spends his evenings fingering the mandolin and piano. He ' s very proficient at both of these although he has never taken a lesson. Of mixed things he is not very fond, and this seems queer since his chosen profession requires him to be continually making mixtures. Providing Babe keeps on with his good work, he ' ll turn out to be a shining light in the chemical world. 31 THE PICKOUT 1913 PHILIP CLAYTON PUTNAM put Alembic Society, 2, 3 Here we have another delegate from the squirrel haunts. He has a reputation in Danvers as being an expert ice-tongs wielder, while here he is a volunteer in Olney ' s beaker brigade. He holds the unchallenged title of beaker smasher in the Chemistry Department. Although it is hard to believe, it is a fact that on certain occasions he has been known to hold extended conversations with some of Lowell ' s queens. Put is a good sticker, and always seems to come out on top of the pile, and it ' s a safe bet that whoever gets him will get a good chemist. CHARLES HANSON RAYNER CHIC Alembic Society, 3 , Football, 3 Textile Show, 2, 3 Asst. Business Mgr. Show, 2 Pickout Board, 2, 3 Business Manager Show, 3 Class Vice-President, 1 Class Football, 2 Skull and Bones, 2, 3 Behold who has been sent up to us from the city of Waltham. Don ' t you recognize one of Textile ' s fussers and the man who wears his hat at such a perilous angle on his cranium? Ah, we knew you would! Sure, he is a chemist, and as a side line is interested in newspaper work. Yes, what ' s that? Sure, he ' s the same fellow who reported on the Boston Post. Clever? Well, we should say he was, and you ' ll agree with us if you ever attended one of our shows. We are afraid, however, that he will not follow up chemistry, as good reporters are scarce. RICHARDSON PERRY RICHARDSON A K $ ' JEFF alias SQUITO Upstream Committee, Cotton Club, 1, 2, Class Football, 1, dick alias Football, 1 Business Manager Pickout, 3 Athletic Council, 2 Cotton Cards, 2, 3 Whoa ! The carriage slowly stops, the door is opened, and out steps Dick, or, on days when the horse is too tired or the coachman oversleeps, Dick comes to school in a benzine wagon. Thus every day Jeff is rushed to Textile in grand style, and it is needless to say that he will miss this ease when a warp at six per in some mill. He ' s some society man in town and thoroughly enjoys the society of the airy fairy damsels of his set. Nevertheless, he does not let frivolous ideas inter- fere with his work, and since leaving Middlesex School for Textile, he has always come out with a passing mark in his exams. As business manager of this book he has shown fine ability, and thus he has been throughout his three years here, always showing great interest in the school and class affairs. Jeff has headed many an expedition down Merrimack Street, over Central to Market Street, then up this street to . Well, Jeff, old scout, here ' s to you, and may you succeed in the future and become a leader in the textile industry. THE PICKOUT 1913 CHARLES EMILE SYLVAIN A K colonel alias count Pickout Board, i, 2, 3 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Editor Pickout, 3 Textile Show, 3 The Colonel, known to every Textile man, is a repre- sentative of the Granite State, hailing from the Queen City. He first came into prominence during his first year as a pen and ink artist, and ever since then he has delighted many a weary student with his funny pictures on the various blackboards in the school. During the time he has been in Lowell, he has picked up a large acquaintance, and as he has always proved good company, the Count has had many opportunities to be deterred from his studies. However, he never forsakes work for pleasure, and as a result he has held a good record as a student. This book which he has put out will always remain a sample of his ability, and we feel positive that in his career as a textile engineer, if he always upholds the good standard of work and fellowship which he has established for himself during the years he spent at Textile, he is bound to succeed. HOWARD PROCTOR SHEDD SHEDD He hails from Medford and belongs to that happy band of commuters who have the benefit of that time-honored excuse, The train was late. Although he is a dye-pot enthusiast, he has a profound respect for Herbie ' s lectures on Mechanism and is a versatile unbeliever in passing exams. If there is any excitement around, Shedd is always there, especially noons in the students ' room. He was a very close friend of Big John (Clement), the martyr instructor whose memory is still held dear by the class. Furthermore, he has a profound knowledge of accomplishing things in the easiest way and with surprising alacrity. Shedd is a good fellow and well liked, and it is a safe hunch that he will get by in whatever he tries to do. ERNEST DEAN WALEN SLATS Pickout Board, 1 Class President, 3 Upstream Committee, 2 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Class Vice-President, 2 Textile Show, 2, 3 Slats all togged up in his oilskins, blew up on a nor ' - easter from the far-off town of Gloucester. His first year he spent in the obscurity of his room doing work on chemistry, mechanism and other deep subjects, and it is thus the other fellows began to look upon him as a shark. However, when the second year came, our little chicken peeped from out his coop, and lo, what a change! Wee-ee-ee Ah, it grieves us to relate that he became very boisterous, and although still holding a grip on his studies, he turned out to be very fond of little parties. He is a born engineer, for mathematics of any kind have no mysteries for him, and many an ivory-headed youth can thank him for his kind and generous help, which he was always willing to give. We can safely say that whoever employs him will get a top-notcher in the engineering line. degree Course school NAME course LAST ATTENDED HOME ADDRESS Holmes, Otis Milton VI Haverhill High Haverhill, Mass.

We began at once to show the other classes where we stood, and as we were a formidable gathering, we were left strictly alone by all upper classmen. The first night of the term our numerals were painted upon the rocks by Brickett and Stevens, and since then have remained in full sight of all passersby upon the Moody Street Bridge. Soon after school opened, the Sophomores distributed, very carefully, little red cards bearing warnings of great importance, but since they never had the ability or power to enforce them, we continued to do as we pleased upon the street and in the school. We showed up unusually strong in football, having five men and two substitutes on the team, and of course when the Sophomore-Freshman football game came off, it was an easy walk-over for us, as was the flag rush after it. Our Freshman Banquet was held at the New American House, Lowell, on February 13, 1912, and was a great success in every way. The Sophomore President was easily captured by us and was our guest throughout the evening, entertaining us with many choice remarks. The next event of importance was the Minstrel Show, and in this our class was well represented, Casey and Lamb taking leading parts. Baseball next took our attention, and many members turned out for the team. When at last the team was picked, we found that four out of nine men were from the class of ninteen fourteen. This year we returned greatly reduced in numbers. Since President Bobbins of last year did not return, Dawson was 40 THE PICKOUT 1913 elected president, with Lawson vice-president and Robertson for secretary and treasurer. Football continued to draw a large number from our class, we contributing seven men to the team, with Kyle as manager. The Freshman-Sophomore football game was not a suc- cess from our point of view, because many of our men were unable to play. One morning early in the Fall, the school woke up to the fact that the flag of nineteen fourteen was flying from the top of the new boiler-house chimney. Many efforts were made by the other classes to take it down, but all were in vain, and the flag continued to show the supremacy of nine- teen fourteen throughout the day. The Textile Show is again taking our attention, and as usual we have a large number of men taking part in it. 41 NAME Abbott, Fred Amos Alexander, Charles Henry Blake, Parker Gould Bradley, Raymond Frost Brickett, Raymond Calvin Casey, William Francis Colby, Lawrence Wendall Cosendai, Edwin F.

Sommersby 1915 ®ttittt$ President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative to Athletic Council 46 3 Chronicle of tfje Class of Nineteen fluntireti jftfteen ijrteen On the twenty-fourth day of September, nineteen hundred and twelve, a number of happy and innocent students entered Lowell Textile School, marched to Charley Eames ' s office and clamored to be allowed to pay tuition and fees for the privilege of being Freshmen. They were all grudg- ingly (?) satisfied by the worthy Principal, and their education along many lines commenced. After being maltreated a little by the Sophs, and after having tasted a little of the jo ys and delights (?) of the beautiful city of Lowell, they came down to earth, and pro- ceeded to become very studious. Their propensity for spend- ing money about recklessly for the sake of education dwindled away, and Walter Holt ' s thriving trade disappeared. On October twenty-fourth, they showed their first out- burst of class spirit. A class meeting was held, at which Tom Harrington was elected president; Sandy Rich- mond, vice-president; Putnam, secretary, and Dago Frank Tenney, treasurer. Soon individual personalities began to crop out, such as Feeney and Woods, star students and gymnasts; Holt and Sturtevant, class students and teachers ' pets. There also came to view Adams, the Mechanism Man, and our friend with the blonde mustache and the automobile. Merely by way of repaying the Sophomores for their very kind hospitality at the first of the year, these same Freshmen, no longer meek and innocent, won the flag rush and also the annual football game by a score of 11 to 0. That was a great day. Smiling Bill Summersby was so excited that he forgot himself completely. He came to school on time and stayed all morning. It ' s on record. After this violent testimony of spirit, the feelings of the class became normal once more, and the Freshmen pursued the even tenor of their ways. Time passed, the even tenor 47 THE PICKOUT 1913 changed considerably, and mid-year exams robbed them of their self-satisfaction. At the beginning of the second term, a large number of hitherto undiscovered Engineers appeared in the midst of the class. Opposing them was another clique — Chemists. Spirit between the courses sprang up. But this petty rivalry was forgotten and the class became a perfect unit, when, on March eleven, nineteen hundred and thirteen, the Freshman Banquet was held at the Richardson Hotel. The affair was a perfect success, every man who had pledged himself to come appearing on the scene at the appointed time. The Sophomores revived sufficiently to get a scant dozen of their men down to the hotel, merely to make it interesting for the lower classmen. So keen was their zest and so careful was their guard that the beloved president, Tom Harrington, was able to get off the train and walk right into the hotel, unobserved. And it takes quite an oversight to miss Tom, believe us. But we give them full credit; the Sophomores made one brilliant capture. They seized Dago Frank Tenney, and had he not appealed to a policeman for pro- tection from physical harm, they would doubtless have spoiled the whole banquet. All the Freshmen with spirit were there. Even Ford dropped in, though he arrived fifteen minutes late. He thought it was a Mechanism lecture, we presume. Farns- worth was the social success of the evening. Every man there enjoyed himself and we can do no better than to quote from one of the toasts given on that eventful night, Here ' s to the Freshman Class. May we all be here next year under as happy circumstances. 48 NAME Adams, Arnold Bemis Adams, Floyd Wellington Alliot, Eric Blake, Fraser Harold Carlson, Ernest Berger Church, Charles Warren Coleman, Wesley Davis Echmal, John Gregory Entwistle, Ralph Taylor Farnsworth, Harold Vincent Feeney, John Frederick Ford, Austin Lewis Forsaith, Ralph Allex Frothingham, William Alfred Frye, Whitney Morse Ginsburg, Albert goodell, josiah butler SCHOOL COURSE LAST ATTENDED HOME ADDRESS II Berkely Prep., Bedford St., Boston E.

Everyone who looks back to our last football season will agree that it might have been greatly improved, first, if the coach had done his work as it should have been done, and second if the fellows had showed spirit enough to go on the field instead of sitting on their tails and waiting for the other fellows to do the work. True, we were greatly handicaped by the los£ of all of last year ' s players, but those that did go out for the team did good work, considering the conditions they labored against. Nevertheless, if no more spirit is shown, it will not be long before athletics are run down to a point where they cannot be brought up to their former standard. This is no myth, but a reality which stares you in the face, fellows, and it is up to every man in Textile to help support the various teams to the best of his ability. It is not too late to start. Start today and make up your minds to boost the baseball team all you can. We have a fine coach, a good schedule with a larger number of home games than we have had in the past, and plenty of good material from which to pick a team. Consequently we see no reason why the coming season should not be the beginning of a new and prosperous era in athletics. When the football season comes around next fall, renew your resolution to raise the athletic sports to the place they should occupy, and by doing this every season, it will not be long before athletics will be raised from the state of deteriora- tion into which they have now fallen and become once more as flourishing as can be desired. 96 LTS ftuer£ Ray C.

St. John ' s at Danvers. jFoofJball Ccam, 1912 Davieau Lane Kyle Fisher Peck Cleary Adams Greer Gadsby Lawson Crawford Rayner Murray Pensel Pillsbury The football team of 1912 had a very unsuccessful season, due to a combination of circumstances, of which any one would be enough to discourage a team. In the first place not a single man of last year ' s team and only one substitute came back. This in itself was a serious handicap, as a team usually can bank on a nucleus of at least five or six regular men. Second, when the call for men was issued, only a few Freshmen responded, and of these only two remained after the first week. In other years the regular team has been able to boast of about five Freshmen and two or three substitutes. There was no excuse for the Freshman class, for there was as good football material in the class as ever came to the 103 THE PICKOUT 1913 school. This was proved in the class game between 1914 and 1915. Third, while the work of Mr. Brady the year before was of the first class, and for this reason he was retained last year, the least said about his work last year the better (for Mr. Brady). He has not been retained for next season. Some of the officials at the away-from-home games were very poor. One way of winning a football game is to have the right kind of officials, and last year ' s team met some men acting in that capacity who showed a decided lack of ability in this respect. The first call for football practice was issued September 30th by Manager Kyle. The result was a very small squad, but those who did come out worked hard for the team and gave their best efforts. Jim Murray was appointed temporary captain and later elected captain. Murray played at right halfback but was handicapped most of the season by a bad ankle. Murray was a good kicker in more than one respect and always had the interest of the team at heart. John Greer, the old Lawrence High center, played a fine game at that same position for Textile. Doc made one of the best centers the school ever had. Fisher and Pillsbury at guards could always be depended upon to open up holes for their backs to go through, or stop the opposing backs. Adams and Davieau were two good men at tackle, but Dave hurt his shoulder early in the season and seldom could last a full game after that. As substitute linemen, Kyle, Peck, and Gadsby were all willing workers, but a little too light for regular work. In Lane and Pensel the team had as good a pair of ends as ever came to the school. They were both fast, going down under punts and being sure tacklers. McGowan was a worthy substitute for either end. At quarterback Lawson acquitted himself well, running the team in first class shape. At fullback Crawford was very a ggressive and could always be depended upon to gain the necessary distance. 104 THE PICKOUT 1913 Charlie Cleary at left half was the backfield star. Although light he was fast and sure, a good ground gainer and a sure tackier on defence. Charlie had the misfortune of being put out with a sprained back in the New Hampshire State game, and he never recovered his former speed. Charlie made a record for the team at quarterback on one occasion that will always be remembered by the team. Rayner and Goodell substituted in the backfield; both were light but fast. The team will lose by graduation Murray, Cleary, Rayner, Davieau, Peck, Pillsbury, Gadsby and Pensel, leaving Crawford, Lawson, Lane, Greer, Fisher, Kyle, Adams, Mc- Gowan, and Goodell. With these men as a basis, reinforced by the new material, the prospects for a successful season next year look bright, as the services of a very efficient coach have been obtained. The success of the team will depend, however, on the way the available football material turns out, and every man who can play or can be taught to play the game should report next fall, so that the team that repre- sents the Lowell Textile School will be an honor to the school and to the players.

We are very fortunate in having some of our old stars back from last year ' s team. In Davieau and Brickett we have two very strong pitchers, and we are looking to them to take care of all opposing batsmen. In Cleary we have a man who has played ball all three years and one who can play well in almost any position on the diamond. Casey and Lawson are two good fielders who should take care of two-thirds of the outfield in fine shape. With these old men as a nucleus we should have no trouble in developing a team that Old Textile will be proud of. We are extremely fortunate this year in obtaining Mr. Albert Johnson as our coach. Mr. Johnson was formerly a ball player of no mean ability, and besides he has had a number of years ' experience in coaching. We have great confidence in him and feel that he will do all that is possible to develop the best ever team at school. The schedule itself is very well balanced, starting off with easy games and gradually working to our hardest games at the last. We have seven home games this 3 7 ear. The cry of the student body has always been for home games. We have them in this schedule, and now it is for the fellows to tu rn out to every home game and cheer the team to victory. Let every fellow do all that he possibly can to aid the team, and with Mr. Johnson ' s help, we will turn out a team that will live long in the memory of Old Textile. 108 33a0tf)all Ceam, 1912 PHOTO BY SACKLEY Brady Richardson- Kelsey Branson Bennett Christie Davieau Crane Cleary Thaxter Casey Pinanski Niven Thaxter, ' 12, c.

Richardson, sub. 109 tOje Baseball €eam The first call for baseball candidates was issued early in March, and for three weeks the battery candidates worked out in the gymnasium trying to remove some of the stiffness which was a result of the high living and easy life of dear old Textile. We were rather short-suited in respect to pitchers. The only veteran twirler who had returned was our old reliable southpaw, Davieau. Brickett, a Freshman recruit from Haverhill High, was most promising, and it was early evident that the bulk of the pitching would fall to him. Our ex-captain, Joe Thaxter, was the same old reliable behind the bat, and now that he no longer had the cares of the cap- taincy, he put up a much better and faster game than ever before, and for anyone who knew Joe that is nuf ced. First base was one of the hardest positions to fill. Kelsey and Christie fought for the place for a month or more, the position finally being given to Christie, an old St. Anslem College player. Pinanski played second, and while his field- ing was good, his force was banging the ball. All the season Sam hit very close to 450. We had to tell him to slow up on his batting in mid-season for fear Jake Stahl would take him away, and leave us without a second baseman. Bob Niven played shortstop, and he fielded and batted very well all year. Third base was taken care of by Branson, Lawson, and Kelsey. This was the hardest position to fill, and all three players acquitted themselves very creditably. In the outfield were Brickett and Davieau, in center, who alternated in pitching also; in right was Casey, while Cleary played left. In spite of a certain natural modesty, it behooves the writer to say that this outfield did very good and effective work, both in batting and fielding, throughout the season of 1912. Bichardson, a Lowell boy, was second string catcher, and while he did not get many chances to show his ability, yet whenever he did, he always came out with flying colors. no THE PICKOUT 1913 When it was time for the first game of our season, the lineup showed five veterans, and four good, reliable recruits, and all our men were in excellent condition to give the best they had for the honor of Textile. Textile, 16; Cambridge Latin, 2. On Saturday, April 6, Cambridge Latin School came all the way to Lowell to receive a 16 to 2 beating. The game for the first four innings was very fast and exciting. However, when the boys got their eyes on the ball, the result was a batting and base-running carnival. There was not much chance to display any baseball knowledge owing to the ease with which the Textile players hit the ball. On the whole, the showing of the team was very pleasing to both coach and captain. Textile 6; Middlesex 5. The team went to Concord, Wednesday, April 10, to play Middlesex School. Davieau pitched a very good game, and had he been given proper support, the score would undoubt- edly have been much larger. For eight innings the result was in doubt. First Textile would be leading, then Middlesex. Finally, in our half of the ninth, we pushed a run across, and by playing air-tight baseball, the infield succeeded in making three very pretty assists for as many outs. The final result was 6 to 5 in our favor, which made one more scalp for us. Textile 14; Rindge 7. The Rindge Technical team of Cambridge visited Lowell Saturday, April 13. This team had given us a beating in our first game of the previous season, so with this in view, the players were put through a very hard and thorough prepara- tion. Our efforts were rewarded by our giving a severe trouncing to the visitors by the tune of 17 to 7. Brickett pitched very effectively and at no time did he give the Cantabs any chance to become dangerous. in THE PICKOUT 1913 Textile, 17; Boston University, 4. On Wednesday, April 17, Boston University came to Lowell. This was another team that had beaten us in 1911, and we were looking to give them an even worse beating than we gave to Rindge. Brickett pitched, and was even in better form than in the Rindge game. He allowed them only two or three hits during the whole game. The Textile team hit their pitchers at will and the final score was 17 to 4 for Textile. Our game for April 19 with St. Anselm ' s at Manchester was called off owing to rain. Dean, 13; Textile, 1. On Wednesday, April 24, we had our first taste of defeat. It was the first of the four very decisive defeats that were administered to us during the season. We went to Franklin, Mass., to meet the Dean Academy team. In the first half of the first inning we managed to score one run, and things began to look rosy for us. However, we were not left long in doubt. In their half of the first, Dean started trouble by making hit after hit. The other innings were just the same as the first, and although the fielders tried their hardest, they could not stop the fusillade of hits that came from the bats of the Dean boys. The game ended 13 to 1, with Textile on the short end. It was a very much changed ball team that returned to Lowell that night. Textile, 17; Bridge water, 0. Our last victory of the season was on Saturday, April 27, when we played the fast Bridgewater Normal team. The team played their usual fast game, not one bit disheartened by their defeat by Dean. The most notable piece of indivi- dual work on the team during the entire season was displayed in this game. Arthur Davieau, captain of the team for 1913, was in the box for our team, and by his excellent headwork, in addition to perfect control, succeeded in shutting out the Bridgewater team without a single hit or run. 112 THE PICKOUT 1913 St. Anselm ' s, 10; Textile, 1. The St. Anselm ' s College team came to town on Wednes- day, May 1. This was our second decisive defeat. The score was 10 to 1. It was the same story of poor fielding and poor base running by the Textile team. The few chances that came our way were foolishly thrown away by stupid coach- ing or lack of baseball knowledge. This game seemed to take the heart out of the team and the effects of this defeat could be plainly seen in the remaining games. -= -_. i Exeter, 20; Textile, 0. The Exeter game at Exeter, N. H., was the most crushing defeat that was handed out to the team. The game started very well, and for the first four innings everything went pretty well. About the fifth inning the entire team blew up. Easy assists and outs went for hits or errors, and every imag- inable kind of poor baseball ever known cropped out. Brickett started the game for Lowell, but very soon Exeter solved his delivery and hit him almost at will. Davieau then relieved him in the sixth, and was a little more effective. For Exeter, Dennem did the pitching and he pitched a remarkable game. It was practically his first game of any account, and with all the sang froid of a veteran, he handed us out a no hit, no run, defeat pill. This was absolutely our worst performance of the year, and the less said about it the better. The Tufts 2nd game scheduled for May 8, was not played on account of rain. Gushing, 6; Textile, 2. The dishing Academy game was the last game of the season, and while the boys played very hard and very well, still we had to accept defeat as our reward in our final effort. The game was well played and closely fought, but it was the same old story of not taking advantage of our chances, and not showing enough baseball knowledge to come out on the top. The final score was 6 to 2 in favor of Cushing. ii3 THE PICKOUT 1913 In closing it might be well to say a few words of acknowl- edgment and praise for all of the regulars. Thaxter excelled both behind the bat and in hitting. Both Brickett and Davieau pitched well, and in taking their turns in the outfield, they displayed rare form. At the bat they were two of the most consistent hitters on the team. Christie covered first base in fine style, but was rather weak at the bat. Pinanski was the batting fiend of the team, hitting for .450 in the nine games played. He also fielded excellently. Bob Niven was the mainstay of the infield and was the clean- up hitter of the team. Branson was the regular third base- man and acquitted himself very creditably. In right field Bill Casey took everything that came his way and did well at the bat. The average of the team was: Games Played Won Lost Ave. 9 5 4 .555 C. J. Cleary, Captain SCHEDULE OF GAMES April 6. Cambridge Latin at Lowell April 10. Middlesex School at Concord April 13.

First, a four-year course has been instituted in both Engineering and Chemistry, and from now on students com- pleting either one of these courses will be awarded a degree, Bachelor of Textile Engineering in one and Bachelor of Textile Chemistry in the other. This fact alone should raise the prestige of the Lowell Textile School among other institutions of learning, while among schools devoted to the study of textile manufacturing, it brings it to the top of the list. A new power plant is fast nearing completion, and it will not be long before this plant will furnish power for the operation of the various departments. Thus our already fine set of buildings has been increased by one which will be equally as good in construction and equipment. On the other hand, as one looks over the campus, a great change is perceptible. What was once a field surrounded by a low stone wall is now a level plot of ground around which runs a high iron class fence. This fence, combined with the evergreen trees which have been planted on the inside, makes our campus one to be proud of. It improves the ap- pearance of the grounds immensely and will prove a valuable addition during baseball and football seasons, as it will make it easier for those in charge to take care of gate receipts. If the outside of the buildings have undergone favorable changes, let us look inside and see what has been going on. Things have not been dead, for we soon shall be able to boast of a cotton finishing department, the equipment of which will consist of the most up-to-date mach ines used in the finishing of cotton goods. Work is still going on rapidly, and it will 126 THEPICKOUT 1913 be a matter of only a few weeks before the student will be given an opportunity to work on these various machines. These various constructions and installations have been a valuable source from which the observing Engineering student could gain practical knowledge of the work by seeing it carried on before his eyes. It is plain to see that each year brings a marked advance- ment, and this fact should be noted by the Massachusetts Legislature when annual requests for appropriations are made. There was never a time when the state had greater need of the graduates of textile schools in her great textile industries, and all money within reason should be given by the Legislature to increase the capacity of the school and permit it to turn out greater numbers of textile workers. No industry in this state, or in the entire country, needs educated workers so much as does the textile industry, and if the textile schools are given the opportunity to enlarge their scope in the direction of educating operatives and making them better producers, a great good will have been accom- plished. Skilled textile help is fast becoming scarce in all parts of the country, and about the only sources of training that will give young men technical knowledge of weaving, spinning, etc., are our textile and trade schools. Young men, upon graduation from schools such as ours, can go into the mills and take up the practical work with a training and a scientific knowledge of the work and the machines, that will give increased production of first rate goods and consequent increase in the wage received. WHY AM I AT TEXTILE? Did you ever ask yourself that question? Did you ever stop to consider, when you are wasting time in useless and unnecessary pleasures, why you had been sent to a school of this sort? The answer is probably No. Very few fellows who are given the chance of an educa- tion realize the great opportunity they have until it is too late and then they lament their foolishness and wish they 127 THE PICKOUT 1913 could start over again. They sooner or later become aware of the fact that during the years spent at school, they threw away golden opportunities of bettering their minds, which would later have resulted in their obtaining a better standing, both socially and financially. In many cases your parents have not had the chance they are giving you, and the money which they spend to give you this chance has often been earned by hard work and represents many sacrifices. Is it right that you idle your time away, spending their money instead of benefiting by their kindness and showing results for the sums they have invested in the stock represented by your brain? Again the answer is No. Look around you in the various mills and you will see there, striving and working from early morn till night, young men whose lot is far harder than yours, but still whose ambitions know no obstacle too difficult to surmount. From the ranks of such as these often rise men who become great assets to our great textile industries, and whose knowledge has been gained through hard, practical experience. These same men have spent evenings, after a long day ' s work, trying to learn from books the same things which you daily ignore. Stir yourselves, fellows, and make a determination to do each day ' s work as it should be done, so that when your school days are over, and you are cast on the world to get your living, you will be ready to put up a good fight with the striving mobs who trample on each other to gain success. Then when you go to work, work hard. Don ' t be afraid to do more than is required of you or don ' t feel that you are above any work you may have to do. All work which is honest is honorable, and it is far better to labor than it is to starve while waiting for the intellectual job which never comes. The world is an ocean of human beings struggling to get ahead, even at the expense of throwing others down, and so it is only by doing conscientious work as students that you can prepare yourselves to fight your battles and in the end survive with the fittest. 128 Alexander Kyle Messenger Rayner Cejttie g I)oto Committee Charles H.

The Show Committee was composed of men from each fraternity and one to represent the non-fraternal men. The members of the committee deserve credit for producing a banner entertainment, and giving a straight vaudeville show with wide-awake comedy sketches. A mirth-producing sketch entitled, Not in the Regular Army, was the first number on the bill and met with thunderous applause. The cast included: Johnny Slick George Messenger Isaac Grafinski John Crawford Mike Mullen Judson Holt Hans Schmidt H. A. Sturtevant Algernon Reginald De Montmorency Eric Alliot Calamity Bill George Farnsworth Scrappy Pete K. B. Simpson Samuel Johnson Oliver Lane Illustrated songs rendered by Charles J. Cleary met with hearty approval, and Mr. Cleary was obliged to respond to numerous encores. The last sketch, entitled The Night After, was given by the members of the Delta Kappa Phi fraternity and the acting was of a high standard and showed careful preparation under the supervision of Coach Michael Mahoney, who had the acting in charge.

Through the efforts of the committee we were able to have reserved for us a certain number of seats at Keith ' s for the evening of May 8th. All that day the fellows appeared restless, and they seemed to have their minds on other things besides what the stern professo r recommends. Well, they certainly had opportunities to ease their craniums when the theatre doors were opened to admit all the worthy brows who had procured the necessary paste- boards for the performance. The evening, I agree with all, was very wet on the outside, but everyone can throw out his chest and say that there were none who were extremely damp on the inside. Here I am wrong, for I can well remember some one came in late with his sea legs on. However, he was soon obliged to retire for fresh air and, as he did not return, I believe it agreed with him. This was well, for now our Charlie could look with pride upon the fellows whose intellectual training he had under his care. The committee certainly had done good work, for Textile banners and pennants were to be seen everywhere, from entrance to stage. Everyone was in fine spirits, and many times during the evening the roof was shaken by the applause and cheers coming from hundreds of husky voices. The last act brought out six young (more or less young) fairies who danced and made merry before Textile ' s worthy sons. After kidding the boys, they bowed themselves in back of the wings, and a few minutes later while strains of sad and pathetic music filled the air, who should hop onto the 132 THE PICKOUT 1913 stage but Bill and Bob. Yes, Bill and Bob, that team of Textile merry-makers who were famous at Textile shows and other places where they could be made to hand out a little mirth to the poor, over-worked fellows, who crowded around them to listen to their funn} r tales and songs. Bob sang while Bill performed on the ivories. Then Bill gave his wonderful imitations and succeeded these with his mystifying card tricks, and here it is needless to say that their act brought down the house. It was now time to adjourn, and so every student passed out singing and giving their favorite cheers. All that night it rained, and in the morning the sun could be seen trying to come out from in back of the clouds. It succeeded to a certain extent and when the Governor Allen left its moorings amidst cheers and music on board, everyone felt sure of a safe and pleasant passage up the raging Merrimack. Onions, the crew of this mighty steamer, shoveled on the coal and the boat proceeded on its northern journey. The fellows stopped the engine, fooled with the valves and pumps, but never a word uttered the crew. On the upper deck some were playing cards, others smoking peacefully, while those who were more strenuous ch allenged Jerry to a fistic battle. Yes, Jerry was there, and he seemed to be as full of fighting blood as ever, although the trip had cost him a good chemistry book. About this time the crew, Onions, had to lower the stack so that the vessel could pass safely under the Country Club bridge. It was worth the price of admission to see this old tar do this work while being bombarded with wet news- papers from every quarter. Except for a few cuss words, however, this old salt was ever silent. Well, after tossing about for two hours, we were finally landed at Martin Luther ' s, amidst yells and cheers which would have done a band of Sioux credit. Soon baseballs, bats, and mits were in great demand, and as there was a good supply on hand, teams were soon fitted 133 THE PICKOUT 1913 out and the dust kicked up on the diamond. A noble game raged between the test-tube smashers and Perk ' s knights of the slide rule on the lower diamond, while from the upper one, the cotton cards were waging war against Barker ' s rams. The results of these great battles were recorded in the annals, and suffice it to say that many who had never played ball before discovered that they had in themselves the making of great twirlers, swatters, and catchers. Later when the sun stood high in the heavens, mess-call sounded and one and all responded to consume the princely feast which had been in preparation since morning. The clatter of plates and knives, combined with the sound of merry voices, was enough to make a dyspeptic ' s mouth water. Every one had all he wanted, and when the fragrance of the weed began to fill the air, it was a sure sign that the inner man had been satisfied for some little time. After a little rest, the instructors came forth in their baseball togs with the intention of showing their superiority on the diamond as well as in the class room. They clashed against a strong student team with Bennett pitching against the mighty Math shark Lupien, and Cleary, our veteran ball player, catching against the stern father of all Textile youths, Eames. The game had reached an interesting point, when lo, the heavens darkened and a squall descended. This put an end to the contest, which had promised to turn out very interesting. All then adjourned to the veranda, where rough-neck Dick Richardson and Cookie proceeded to give everyone a ginger ale bath. Well, the downpour still kept up, and so about four o ' clock, after another feed, everyone made a bee line for the sturdy ship. When all were aboard, Onions hoisted anchor and under a dark and forbidding sky, we started for home. It seems that the crew was more or less appalled by the condition of the weather, for we had only left port, when the boat ' s keel was heard to grate on a sandbar. The 134 THE PICKOUT 1913 gigantic steamer made a lurch to the leeward and proceeded towards the shore. Our lives hung on a thread, but no one showed signs of fear, nor were there any yells or cries of disaster during this distressing accident. Some had on the life-belts, ready for a jump overboard at the critical moment, while others coolly smoked their pipes, watching Onions trying hard to reverse the engine. At last he succeeded, and so once more we steamed down the dark and muddy waters of the river. About midway down the stream Tap Pillsbury and Peckham had the brilliant idea of crawling out into one of the tenders which were being towed in back. Well, it was for their undoing, for they proved a target for pails of water and things which have all the fun in the throwing and none in the receiving. When they were sufficiently soaked, the chains were unlocked, the boat set adrift, and they were told to get home the best the} ' could. Having only one oar which was of any use, they were soon left behind and could be seen in the distance, a black spot on the water. It is said that long after the Gov. Allen was fast to her wharf these two castaways pulled to shore, tired and drenched to the skin. Thus came to a close one of the daj r s to which every loyal Textile man looks forward, and a day that in years to come they can look back upon as one which savored of good fellow- ship and clean and healthy sport. 135 THE PICK OUT 1913 anli Ct)ej Soulier Wty tije qutrrels Describing the head motion — The chains are placed around a cylinder and each brad pushes in a sort of curved iron which has something to do about lifting the harnesses.

On account of the resignation of President Kaplan, Vice-President Caesar Neyman was in the chair. The first business in order was the election of a president. The election resulted in a tie, each member voting for himself. The matter was referred to the chair who promptly broke the deadlock by appointing Julius Caesar Neyman president. After the regular business, Mother Rich gave a very interesting lecture on the new method for the storage and carriage of mineral acids, named after its inventor, the Crawford method.

It was Bob calling the roll, after which a hoarse Here was heard from the Louse who was the only one there. Louse then unlocked his desk and leisurely started winding five-gram skeins of yarn, when Hard Luck Shedd and Crabber Johnson ambled in, turned on the steam in their dyebaths and started washing dye pots. Not too soon after this surprise, White Hope Murray, Bean Pole Plummer, and Beaker Smasher Putnam dropped in, slammed open their desks, grabbed each a five-gram dyed skein and tenderly displayed this as a color match to Mr. Sleeper. The Professor, however, only shook his head and sardonically remarked, Better make another dyeing of that. Peevishly they returned, confiding that that shade could not be got with those colors. At 9.30 Doughnut Peck sauntered in and casually re- marked, Has he called the roll yet? But no one answered as the Louse was the only one that knew, and he was down to Bill ' s getting something to eat. Five hours later Chick Bayner dropped in for an hour ' s visit and made a jump for Shedd ' s dyebath, which was boiling over on the floor. Hard Luck himself, being out for a smoke, lost all of his nitrate. The class will report downstairs this morning, called the above-mentioned gruff voice, whereupon the future boss dyers strolled to the basement to watch a gig run cloth back and forth through hot water and soda ash, that they might know the most improved way to strip cloth. There after a few farce ball games, some marvellous exhibitions of juggling, and a few caustic comments on the amount of noise, the class beat it to the stock room to bum some permanganate 141 THE PICKOUT 1913 off Jinx, to wash their soiled hands for Sunday, and then they proceeded to their lockers. At 12.30 the same mellifluous voice again called the roll, but there was no Here this time, for the B. T. D. ' s were now safe across the bridge headed for dinner and Keith ' s.

Cast Superintendent Steve Smith Overseer Dock Cook The Warp Jeff Richardson Enter: All in a bunch, Steve heading the procession down the aisle. Steve : Hurry up, Richardson. (Pause till Richardson catches up.) That will never do when you get out in a mill. Show some signs of life. Cook, come here and help me adjust the nipper frame. Richardson and Pillsbury, you figure out what size pulley is needed to run this machine at seventy nips per minute. (Jeff and Red go off.) Pillsbury (to Richardson) : We can ' t figure out the size of that pulley; we don ' t know its size or the R. P. M. of the counter shaft; we ' ve got two unknowns. Perk couldn ' t do this himself, even on his slide rule. Jeff: Go tell Steve. (Red goes). Red (to Steve): It can ' t be done, Mr. Smith; we have two unknowns. Steve : Do you mean to tell me that after three years of Textile School training you can ' t figure out what size pulley we need? Red (to Steve) : No, I can ' t figure it out with two un- knowns, and no man on earth can either. Steve : You go back and think it over. (Cook turns his back and laughs heartily. Red returns to Jeff, who is admiring his new shoes. The talk turns to what a great man Isadore Strauss was. Ten minutes later Steve approaches the delinquents on the box by the picker.) 143 THE PICKOUT 1913 Steve: Well, what ' s the verdict? Jeff and Red (in unison) : No verdict, it can ' t be done. (Steve goes up in the air and calls Cook over.) Steve (to the bunch) : Really, I ' m ashamed of you fel- lows. I wouldn ' t tell this to anybody around school, but I ' m ashamed, actually ashamed, to think you fellows couldn ' t figure out a single little problem like this. This is one of the most discouraging things in a teacher ' s life. Jeff (under his voice) : The sarcastic devil. Steve (turns and addresses Cook) : How would you do it? Cook : Well, I would take a machine we know the speed of and figure it back to the motor. Steve: You fellows make me sick. (To Red): Haven ' t you any idea? Pillsbury: Well, I suppose we could take a speedometer and get a step-ladder and then get the speed of the shaft. They never do that in the mill, though. Steve: Well, why on earth don ' t you do it? (Jeff and Doc have another laugh at Steve ' s expense.) Steve (again) : There is an easier way than that, though; just stand on the floor and count the revolutions of the shaft overhead. Jeff and Red: What do you think we are, crazy? Steve : Yes, I ' m beginning to think you are. Take a spot on the shaft and a stick of wood. Tap on the floor every time the spot comes around and count the taps in a minute. I could guess the revolutions, within twenty-five, myself. Red: Well, you ought to, you know the speeds of all the shafts around here anyway. (There is a great rush for sticks. Jeff gets the pole vault rod; Red, the broom-handle; Doc, a bobbin; and Steve, a yardstick. All begin tapping earnestly, making a noise like a Methuen drum corps. The answers vary from seventy to two hundred revolutions per minute.) 144 THEPICKOUT 1913 Jeff (to Steve) : Well now, before I tell you what I get, you give me your guess. (Steve guesses 175 R. P. M.) (As there is such a wide range in answers, Red runs down to Steven ' s office and gets a speedometer and then goes up and counts the R. P. M.) Red : Just 320, by actual count. Jeff : Get down off there and let me count them. (Jeff gets 319.) Steve (sheepishly) : Well, I was a little low there, but go ahead and figure it out anyway. Jeff and Red then work it out and get ' a seven- inch pulley, which Jeff proceeds to put on. After the pulley is all on, Jeff is still pondering.) Jeff: Say, Mr. Smith, you said a little while ago to take a spot on the shaft and count it every time it comes around. Well, I should think a spot on the pulley would come around more often than a spot on the shaft. Won ' t it? Steve (disgusted, to Jeff) : It ' s no use, there ' s no hope, you might as well go home. (Jeff picks up his turban dip, his slide rule, and five-cent notebook and beats it. Pillsbury and Cook have near heart failure with laughter. Steve turns around and nails them. They immediately follow Jeff. Steve returns to tinkering on the comber.) Curtain ECHOS FROM DICK ' S MACHINE Plummer got his nose wrinkled. Dick is a marked man. Herbie : I wonder what is going on in my stomach now. I bet on the soft shelled eels against the hard shelled eggs. Sylvain goes insect hunting in front of the Touraine. 145 THE PICKOUT 1913 C|)e Cfjemtooolcot jfflTfg. Co. One of the leading textile papers reports that our state will soon be able to boast of another textile mill added to its already long list. We reproduce the article as we think it may be of interest to our readers. ' The Chemwoolcot Mfg. Co. will soon start up its new mills in Fribville, and it is safe to say that the population and business of the town will be boosted to the limit. At a recent interview with C. E. Sylvain, president of the cor- poration, he informed us that no expense had been spared in arranging everything for the comfort of the operatives and that the company would aim to uplift the conditions existing in our mills at the present time. R. P. Richardson, treasurer, has set aside a large sum of semolions which will be used in keeping the various smoking- rooms, connected with each department, supplied with cigars and refreshments. These retiring-rooms may be used by the workmen at any time they see fit during the day, and further- more, in order that their minds may be thoroughly at ease, a large corps of bellboys will be employed whose duties will consist in notifying the operatives whenever it will be necessary for them to tend to their machines. The agent of this up-to-date plant is H. Bennett, and he is under orders to run the mill in accordance with the wishes of the help. In this way they will not miss any circus or baseball game which may be taking place in the town. A purchasing department has been established, and it will be in charge of C. Cleary, purchasing agent. It is said that a salesman who takes him out on a good time may feel confident of a large order. K. Cook has been appointed superintendent of the business, while A. Gadsby has been placed in charge of the entire wool division. Other places of importance have been filled as follows, and it will be readily seen that the men are all well known in the textile industry. 146 THE PICK OUT 1913 P. Church, Designer. C. Peek, in charge of Dyeing. A. Plummcr, Head of Bleaching. R. Dearborn, Master Mechanic. C. Horton, Yard Master. Shedd, Watchman. ' The dyestuffs used will be bought from the house of Murray and Rayner, while the firm of Johnson and Putnam will furnish the size and bleaching materials. Also, as there will be consumed a large amount of cotton, the services of R. Pillsbury as buyer of cotton have been secured. He will have offices in New York and his duties will consist of pur- chasing cotton when he is not out smoking cubebs in the parks. ' The mills of the company, which are of the best, have been designed by D. Walen and H. Mather, both engineers of questionable reputation. The contract has been awarded to Davis and Davieau Co., and as the members of this firm are well known for their honesty, we feel confident that they will not crab the job.

Beulah: — A Lowell girl; a warm favorite with the com- muters. Boston Maine B. B. : — For most of us the sole means of entrance and exit into and from this so-called city of Lowell. As to the service, the entrance of the commuters into classes at 9 o ' clock from a train due in Lowell at 8.10 speaks for itself. Bulletin Board: — A course in ancient history. Hereon is given the chronological order of events from July 1 to the date on which you look. Something new is added occasion- ally. Students are held responsible for all notices posted on the General Bulletin Board. Catacombs: — A room in the cellar of the Wool Depart- ment, so-called for three reasons. (1) It is a place to which the wool men, martyrs to the persecution of Emperor Eddie, may escape for a few moments of freedom. (2) There is an omni-present odor about the place as if something or some- body was dead. (3) There is an under-ground exit from it leading to the careless, happy-go-lucky freedom of the En- gineering Department. Chalkhead: — A nickname for a certain person in the school. If the coat fits you, put it on. Charlie ' s Office: — It is very hard to get or to give an accurate description of Charlie ' s office. All that appears to the author ' s remembrance is a chair, a desk, and a huge safe. 149 THE PICKOUT 1913 There is red tape leading from this office to the door of the general office. Cloth Analysis: — Last year this was a course in long hand arithmetic, but the Freshmen have been telling us that Mother has invested in a slide rule; so probably this year it will simply be a short study in juggling figures. Co-ed: — There is only one bona fide co-ed in the school, but there are several others whom we strongly suspect, not- ably two from Andover. Chemist: — One who studies chemistry and dyeing. There are three accurate tests which may be used to deter- mine whether or not a fellow is a chemist. (1) Look at the backs of his fingers. If they are a grimy black with a few stains of yellow, and if they look as if they have not been washed for years, it is a sure sign that the man is a chemist. (2) If you see a fellow walking around the building with a long coat on, which is full of holes and which is stained with a great variety of colors, you will at once know that he be- longs to course IV. (3) If you come across a fellow who smells as if he has just come out of a glue factory, it is safe to bet that he has fallen prey to the call of the dye-pot. Chemistry Stock Room : — A sort of waiting room or transfer station. If you see a chemist whose sleeves are out at the elbows, do not think he has been stirring acids with his coat-sleeves. Such is not the case. He has only been down trying to get a beaker or something and has worn his sleeves out leaning on the railing. We would suggest that these two mottoes be hung in some prominent spot in the stock room: Patient waiters, no losers. Christmas is coming, so is the Jinx. Commuter: — The commuters are an odd bunch, to say the least. The theory is that they are swayed and shaken by the train into a semi-intoxicated condition and that therefore they are not altogether responsible for what they do. They are divided by locality into two bunches, one of which is swept into Lowell in the darkness of the early morning, some ISO THE PICK OUT 1913 hours before school begins, while the others roll or rather bump in just in time to disturb all the classes into which they always come late. The test for a commuter is his stride, which is always long and fast. (Exceptions must be made in the case of Gracie Colby.) In the ranks of the commuters are always found the worst grinds, but there are often among them some who are not particularly hard students. Cotton: — A cotton man may always be distinguished by the loose raw-stock suspended on his clothing. From wha t we hear of it, the Cotton Course must be very interesting. Just think of it, three hours lecturing in a row. Steve tells all he knows; he rests while Woodie lectures away until he gets tired; then Steve takes it up again. As for the student, well, he is not supposed to have need of rest, and anyhow it serves him right for taking the course. Crabber: — A name given by those who are too lazy to do their work right to one who is not. Crib: — An abomination in the sight of the teacher, but a very present help in time of trouble. Chinks : — A Chinese restaurant down town where the commuters grub when they are flush. Class Rush : — A contest between half the Freshman class and a corresponding proportion of the Sophomore class. The other half suddenly find that they have engagements out of town or are sick. It isn ' t because they have cold feet, you know. The rush is won annually by the Freshmen, chiefly on account of their superior strength and numbers. Darn Hooting: — A colloquial phrase imported from Win- chester by Monk Rowe and meaning almost anything. Decorative Art: — A course put upon the schedule to im- prove and develop our eyes for the beautiful. It is very in- structive, inasmuch as it teaches us the importance of eternal vigilance. If it were not for this latter quality, we fellows would have suffered more than once from injuries caused by flying missies, such as erasers, chalk, gears, shuttles, etc. 151 THE PICKOUT 1913 Drawing Room : — A sort of office for the engineers and lounging place for the chemists. If Herbie or Loop has ever wondered why the engineers ' problems always come out the same, we advise him to sneak into the drawing room at noon or during some other spare hour. Here also is the place where Sam Crawford set up all his records for weight lifting. This is also the room from which you wave your arms to the girl you don ' t know, if Bill or Perk ain ' t around. Diploma: — A living reality for some of us, a mirage in the desert for many. The only qualifications demanded be- fore it is given out is that the receiver is an accurate chemist, a good mathematician, a good athlete, that he knows all about gears, head motions, civil engineering, the customs of the English people in 1221, etc., and that he can get along with the instructors, which is no mean feat. Three years are pre- scribed; four years are necessary in many cases. It is very usefu l as a mural decoration after it is once obtained. Dyeing Laboratory : — The place where the chemists daub up their hands and faces before they go calling so that their girls will know that they are dj ers. Energy: — Our supply of energy seems unlimited when we get here, but it dissipates slowly in some cases, quickly in others, all along the way until but little, if any, is left. Some fellows are all gone after one term, some after one year, some last two years and a few finish. It is a case of the survival of the fittest. As the energy of a sound wave loses in intensity in passing from one medium into another, so we lose ours in the greatest quantities in passing from Chemistry to Steam Engineering, from Design to Industrial History, etc. Engineers or Would be Engineers: — Known as Perk ' s Army or Perkins ' disciples. The best test for an engineer is to fish his pockets to see if he carries a slide rule or a meas- uring rule. Another for distinguishing a great number of engineers is to hang around the drawing room. The engin- eers will all bunch together and go over their problems. This 152 THE PICK OUT 1913 is known as engineering team work and has reached a very high state of efficiency. The chief characteristic of the en- gineer is his supernatural power to flunk Organic Chemistry. His chief peculiarity is that he likes Drawing. Epidemic: — Nothing spreads like fear and that was the case in school last winter. Anything that resembled scarlet fever in any way such as grippe, tonsilitis, etc., was sufficient cause for locking up the unfortunate being who had it and quarantining all his friends for a month or so. We got three weeks ' vacation out of it. Some of the fellows may have en- joyed it, but we had to go to work, and believe us, we didn ' t like it a bit. Engineering Lab. : — This is where the engineers get val- uable experience measuring pipe expansions and counting the R. P. M. of pulleys, etc. Go by there any afternoon and you will see Perk, his hat upon his head, his slide rule in his hand, shouting out instructions to his soldiers. One engineer stands at a black-board with a piece of chalk, another sits on top of a step ladder, a monkey wrench or screw-driver in his hand, another (usually Monk Rowe) has a slide rule ready to correct Perk ' s mistakes. The others group around Perk and are so awed by him that they do not venture to speak to you when you go by. A new horizontal hood has been in- stalled in the lab to carry off the hot air given off by Perkins and his trusty lieutenant from Winchester. Epicyclic Train: — The climax of a year of hard labor. To one familiar with Mechanism it means one gear moving on another which is also moving, (This is the impression left on our minds and is similar to that which we got from the whole year of Mechanism), but to the student it means to flunk or not to flunk. He usually comes to this subject with about an even chance of surviving the storm of cams and link- ages, and this settles him for good or for ill. There ' s a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in misery . 153 THEPICKOUT 1913 Finishing: — Finishing gives the final touches to the well rounded courses. The peculiarity of this study is that the classes are not dismissed when there is a fire. Football: — One of the local newspapers said, It is whis- pered that this year ' s football team at the Textile School has made a record which will be hard to beat. We think that we did very well last fall considering that we have thirty-four hours of class a week and that not a T man returned this year. Fraternity: — A good thing to belong to if you want to have a good time; not so good if you want to study. French: — A study introduced by Mr. Lupien to assist in the construction of the new power house. French Curve: — A weapon of torture, just as cruel as the stocks, but in a different way. Nobody who has never been through it can a ppreciate the mental agony experienced in trying to strike three points at once and still keep a smooth line with this awful machine. Freshman : — Unfortunately under the present economic conditions it seems impossible to get along without a few Freshmen around, and so we have to put up with them as best we can. They are happy in their own way anyhow, so it is best to simply ignore them, or better still, to leave them to Herbie and Doc, who are good managers for such as they. Fussing: — Fussing is an art at which every Textile man thinks he is proficient, but which we really think none of them really know much about. Gearing: — The calm before the storm; the easy part of Mechanism which precedes the difficult part about cams and linkages. General Office: — This is where you go if you want to pay your tuition or wish to get a permit to stay up Wednesday afternoons. There is also a letter-box here. We have been in every day since we started school to get a letter but we i54 THE PICKOUT 1913 haven ' t received any yet. If you want to find out what time it is, just go into the office. There is a clock in there. If you want to see Charlie, you take off your hat, brush back your hair, walk into the office and tell the stenographer what you want. She refers you to the bursar, and he goes in to see if Charlie is busy. Charlie locks up the safe and tells Walter to let you in. This is good mill experience. German : — A study that blew in with the wind and Heinie Bachmann. You get the theoretical part of it from Mr. Gushing, and when you go over to Design, you get the practical part from Heinie and also the German-English pronunciation for which the latter is famous. Greek : — A working knowledge of Greek comes in very handy in such studies as Mathematics and Mechanism. We judge that Herbie has studied it, for he delights in using Greek letters to illustrate his problems. Hangover: — There are two meanings for the word hang- over, (1) one who lives in Lowell during the school year, usually a good fellow, not always, not even often, a good student; (2) one who is repeating a subject for one reason or another. The two meanings are not very different because the hangover who lives in Lowell is always, or nearly always, a hangover in one study or more, unless he is a Freshman. The commuters usually get by all their subjects and therefore are hangovers in neither sense of the word. Hydraulics : — Another one of those cursed engineering studies whose end we never seem to meet. Industrial lab: — A course in slops. You start with a clean beaker at the beginning of the year and go through with about thirty experiments. Each one of these leaves an insoluble residue; so by the end of the year the beaker (if not broken before then, as it usually is) has an inch thick shell of various mixtures. The same is true with regard to your hands and face. They are usually clean to start with and gradually grow dirtier and dirtier until the end of the i5S THE PICKOUT 1913 year, when you usually have to encase them in gloves to keep from polluting the atmosphere. The dirt wears off with the skin, and generally the chemist has one or two weeks at the end of summer vacation in which he can display a clean pair of hands. Industrial History: — Formerly, we are told, this was a well-developed course in rough-house, but in the last couple years it has degenerated into the study of people and how they lived. Ionization — A plunge into the depths of theory. There is one famous chemist, we were told, who doubted this theory. We promptly informed the instructor that we didn ' t believe in it either, thinking that of course, then, he would not make us learn it; but his sympathies were not wide and he inflicted it upon us in double doses. Iron foundry: — A name applied to a certain Moody Street restaurant. It behooves me: — A phrase common with the Senior Engineers, meaning unknown (to those who use it at any rate). Janitor: — The head janitor of this school is a full-fledged engineer, watchman, special policeman, comedian, restaurant keeper and chauffeur. He goes by the name of Bill and is famous (or infamous) for his ham, sandwiches and hamburg steak. If you want to be on the right side of him, ask him all about his new automobile and tell him that the lunch- room nets him enough to pay for the gasoline. The head assistant janitor is George, the man who is famous for his Bowery slang and because he fits pretty well fvith the nurses over at the hospital. If you want to be friendly with George, just ask him if he ever misses his stomach which was cut out at the hospital, and while he isn ' t looking, hit him with a stream of water. He enjoys these little things and will always afterward stop you in the corridor to talk with you. 156 THE PICK OUT 1913 Jinx: — The boss of the chemistry stock room, famous for his speed and generosity. Keith ' s : — The Textile headquarters on Wednesday after- noons. Formerly the Textile chemists met there on Monday afternoons, but Charlie put the can on that. The process now common is to send Gracie Colby down on Monday afternoon as a sort of scout. If he reports a good show, every- body goes Wednesday; if not, nobody goes. If we don ' t go we get the full benefit anyway, because Gracie copies all the jokes down in his notebook and springs them sooner or later during the week. « Library: — Almost everybody goes into the library for a few minutes every day to read the papers, or simply for the sake of a change; but few stay long, for the air there a solemn stillness holds and a true Textile man cannot stand much quiet. Locker rooms: — We wish now to give the following advice as to the choice of lockers, their use and abuse. Never take an end locker or you are liable to come to school some day to find it nailed up by some mischievous rascal. Don ' t be afraid to take a locker with a name on it; everybody puts his name on his locker, not as a sign of ownership, but simply to display the name in a public place. Always have a strong padlock, for it is liable to be taken off to make some other locker doubly sure. One of our friends came in one day and found his locker secured by six padlocks. It was an hour ' s work with hammer and chisel to get loose again. Never leave } r our key in your coat pocket which you have left inside the locker; you are too liable to forget yourself and lock your key in, leaving yourself in awkward circumstances. Always when you change your pants, transfer your key. If you do this, you will never have to bother Walter Holt during office hours to get your duplicate key for you. Log Book: — A book given out to simplify mathematical figures but used chiefly to simplify examinations. We get the books new and clean when we are Freshmen and add i57 THE PICKOUT 1913 notes and information now and again until at the end of three years it is an encyclopedia more than anything else. Lowell Hospital: — If you ever jam your finger or sprain your foot, go over to the hospital. They will immediately put you to bed and hide your clothes. After a week or so, they may let you out again, but the nurses will always after that want you to come over to see them occasionally and perhaps take them to the show once in a while. If a warp in the mill gets sick of working, he sticks his finger in the machine and goes to the hospital to have a vacation for a couple of months. They give great feeds over there, but you always lose your appetite and cannot give them full justification. Mathematics: — A good course as far as it goes and a sticker. A Freshman always lowers his voice when he speaks of it, chiefly from the habit he has formed of saying in a stage whisper, Have you got your problems done? Mechanism : — In some cases this means a year ' s sentence, in more a two years ' , in a few, three years, while some are sentenced to Mechanism for life. For all-around hard study which can keep you everlastingly busy, we tip our hats to Mechanism. Mispick: — A subject which has been the cause of much heated discussion in the weave room and doubtless will be as long as the looms shall run. Another meaning of the word is applied to those who silently one by one leave us before our three years are spent. ' Tis but the drop of a study, a cut in the lab, A fight with a teacher, a cribber gets nabbed; Between the books of a schoolboy to the factory loud, why should the spirit of a student be proud? Merrimack Square: — The business center of Lowell. At half past four every night one hangover asks another if he is going down town. Then they walk down together into the Square, turn right around and walk back again. This is the chief amusement to be found in Lowell. 158 THE PICK OUT 1913 Moody Bridge: — One of the coldest places known to human beings in the winter time, built for the use of Textile students. Nicknames: — Some men are born with their nicknames, as Cutey Blake, Red Pillsbury, Sam Crawford, and Bill Laughlin. Others achieve their nicknames, as Nitric Acid Sam, Slats Walen, Caruso Cosendai, Shark Dawson, and Snodgrass Lillis. Yet others have nicknames thrust upon them, as Nuts Folsom, Gettysburg Ginsburg, Warwhoop Crawford. Nitric acid: — There have been many different versions told of the way Sam Crawford drank the nitric acid. Fol- lowing is the true and unadulterated story. It was one after- noon in late spring. The sun shown brightly in the clear blue sky, and it was with much regret and many a sigh that we forced our bodies into the qualitative lab for an afternoon of juggling blue and white solutions, and of breaking beakers and casseroles. The afternoon was going slowly enough, but the old clock down in the general office had crept forward until the hands pointed to three and five respectively. All was quiet in the lab; not even the scuffle of feet or the clinking of test tubes being deposited in the ash-buckets under the desk with the choice remarks which usually followed them, could be heard. We were holding a test tube up to the light to see whether we had arsenic or mercury. It was the calm before the storm. Suddenly came an awful bellowing noise such as has never been heard before nor since. The building was shaken from the pebbles on the roof to the coal-hod in Bill ' s private locker, and a great bump-bump was heard as the bricks in the dye lab fell to the floor. The awful wail of Doctor, Doc Smith, sounding like a cross between the beat of a bass drum and the whistle of the wind through the trees on a cold night, penetrated our beings like a dagger. We dropped our tubes and grasped the nearby benches for our own support. Out of the office rushed Dr. Smith, followed closely by Fitzpatrick and an army of chemists. We came upon Sam lying upon the floor kicking out his heels and 159 THE PICKOUT 1913 spitting brown fumes out of his mouth with a noise like a rusty wrench. Doc picked him up while Fitzpatrick pulled a box of smelling-salts out of his pocket and applied it pro- fusely on the injured parts which were exposed. Then followed a lengthy discussion whether or not to give Sam ether while they were operating upon him. It was finally decided that it was unnecessary. Ammonia was fed to him until his tears formed a great puddle on the floor. Then Doc brought out some sweet oil, sweet in name only, and Sam drank that until he was so greasy that his teeth nearly slid down his throat. The fellows then helped Sam into a car in which he rode down to the depot and thence home. The next day he came to school with a rag around his gozzle and an inch-thick white deposit of tongue nitrate, making a path right from his lips down to the pit of his stomach. In a few days he recovered from the physical effects of the drink, but he has never recuperated from the mental and moral effects. Even now he froths at the mouth whenever the word nitric acid is mentioned in his presence. Sam has never reasonably explained, and we doubt if he knows himself, why he drank the nitric acid. We know he has sincerely regretted it since, and we doubt if he ever repeats the performance. If he does, we want to be there. Outer guard of the inner gate : — An office held by Walter Holt or the stenographers in the general office. It is their duty to keep cranks or students from gaining admittance to Charlie ' s private office. Politics : — Elections at school are carried out as follows : A Delta Kappa man gets up and nominates a member of his frat; a member of the Phi Psi is then nominated and the polls are moved closed by an Omicron man. For the next office the same thing is repeated except that a Phi Psi man moves that the polls be closed. The Phi Psi and Omicron Pi fraternities chip in together to beat Delta Kappa, and, follow- ing the old rule in geometry that two sides of a triangle are always greater than the third, they nearly always win. The 1 60 THE PICK OUT 1913 non-frats and anti-frats, who are generally a studious lot, not looking for a lot of empty glory, are always left out in the cold. Power house: — Built for Perk ' s use as a smoking-room. It used to be all right for him to smoke in the engineering office, but since he went over to England to study the smoke nuisance, his ideals have been raised, and therefore, the new power house. It is all fitted out with a hundred-foot chimney to carry out the smoke, and a boiler for heating purposes. The students did not approve of Perk ' s having such a nice, quiet, cozy place all his own; so they invadad it and held all their little scraps here until Charlie invaded them and put a stop to their actions. (The plans and specifications were under the direct charge of the Engineering Department. We don ' t know whether the building inspector approved of them or not. Probably he did, as Perk is a pretty slick talker.) Practice : — They say Practice makes perfect. If that is so, the wool men must be last approaching perfection, for they get practice slung into them day in, day out, from morn to night. Qualitative analysis: — A course in guesswork with side issues of acid-drinking, sponge-throwing, and HS inhaling. Quantitative analysis: — A course in dish-washing and precipitate-roasting with a little (or a lot of) weighing and measurements. Quarantine: — Quarantine means a few weeks ' vacation from school, during which time the victims may go for a hunting trip in the backwoods of Maine. Records: — The following records are held by Textile men: Lifting a loom over your head: — Sam Crawford, thirty- eight times. Sprint across Moody Bridge: — Lizzie Dearborn, per- formed in an actual contest with the Skull and Bones behind him. 161 THEPICKOUT 1913 Loudest yell: — Warwhoop Crawford when he drank the nitric acid. Highest mark given: — Heinie Bachmann in his cribless Design exams. Lowest mark given: — Louie Olney in his Organic exams. Springs the most jokes: — Joe Wilmot. Flunks the most: — Mechanism. Cribs the most — Alexander Davis. Senior: — A privileged character who is allowed to come and go as he pleases. He does little studying, but makes more fuss about it than the Freshman who has twice as much to do. Shark: — The exception who proves the rule that it is impossible to get a diploma without taking a re-exam. They are mighty scarce and will in time, we believe, become extinct. Special Student: — The special courses are friends indeed because they are friends in need. Anyone who flunks one or two studies, which place him almost hopelessly behind, immediately becomes a special student. The special courses never contain a study the special student dislikes and do not contain many he likes. In general they are lazymen ' s courses. Store Room : — This is where you learn to smile as you pay out money, but it takes much training and a lot of harden- ing before you become proficient at it. You are informed in the catalogue that twenty to twenty-five dollars will cover the cost of your books, etc., but after you get up here, Good Night! Stoichiometry : — A course in chemical arithmetic. If we may judge by what some of the chemists get for marks in this study, we think that they might take a course in a grammar school which would be of no small benefit to them. Sickly green : — A natural dyestuff appearing on the faces of the engineers when they get their marks in Organic Chemistry. 162 THE PICKOUT 1913 Students ' room : — We wish to make one recommendation concerning the students ' room. We move that the partition be extended to the ceiling. It is very unpleasant indeed to be interrupted in the midst of a card game or in the middle of your dinner by a bag or a bucket of water which comes sailing over the top of the partition, splashing upon whom- soever is in the way. The students ' room is furnished with two long tables with accompanying benches. We raise no objection to this, for if there were any more furniture, it would cetrainly have been broken up by this time. Textile Night: — The big night down at Keith ' s. Charlie did not think we were capable of taking care of ourselves alone; so he had an instructor seated in every third seat. We had the misfortune to pick a seat next to a professor who had chucked us out of class that same morning. We both enjoyed it. Textile Show: — The night you get out your borrowed dress suit and high hat, hire a cab and take your best girl to the time of times. The fellows put on a great program consisting of everything from magician ' s tricks to a solo by Charlie Cleary. Then there is dancing and for the single men a trip to the second show at the Waverly. Theory: — A lecture in cotton. Thesis: — A vacation for the Seniors. Tragedy: — The second and third year of an engineer. Underground Railway: — The link that binds Engineering to Chemistry. JUST THE MAN FOR IT It is reported that Cook has accepted a position in a sau- sage factory for the coming summer. His duties will consist in putting the tights on the sticks of groundup meat. 163 THE PICKOUT 1913 Cjramtnattonsi Charlie: — Charlie ' s examinations are not periodic, but come only on special occasions. If somebody pinches a draw- ing or busts a window, Charlie gets out his old board of in- quiry and puts everyone connected with it in any way through the third degree. Louie: — Louie ' s exams are the ones that made the flunk mark famous. Organic Chemistry is difficult under any cir- cumstances; it is terrible when taught at the mile a minute speed that Louis teaches it. The two-hour exams cover enough ground for a week of grinding. A certain very ap- propriate circumstance happened when the Freshmen went into the exam last year to do or to die. A certain sophomore in the next room interpreted the feelings of the Freshmen very well when he started to drum on the piano the old famil- iar tune, At the Cross. Doc: — Doc Smith ' s exams are notorious for their great length. We have never had the happy sensation of finishing any of them since they were so long and time was so short. Doc ' s method for the prevention of cribbing is to fill the room full of instructors, and this is a very efficient preventative. Lester: — The one thing most noticeable in Mr. Cushing ' s exams is that you can ' t tell how well you have done on them. We thought we killed one for fair last year and went in to get our mark with great expectations, only to be told that it was worth only 60. Herbie ' s: — As Perk ' s exams are famous for similarity Herbie ' s are famous for versatility. Every one is different and as stiff as they make them. Whenever you get through, a problem, you have to hunt around to see where the catch is. It is always there somewhere. Mr. Ball has more than once boasted that he don ' t care how much the fellows crib the problems, he ' ll get them on the exam. Take it from us, it is no idle boast. 164 THE PICKOUT 1913 Lupe: — One of the arguments extended in favor of the honor system was that it would save Lupe one cenl every exam. Lupe always buys the Boston Post on examination days and buries his head in it as if oblivious of all that is around him. If he ever does look up and happens to spot a fellow getting a little illegal help, he quickly turns his head the other way and passes it off as if nothing ever happened. Steve: — We never had Mr. Smith; so we don ' t know pos- itively just how he runs his exams, but we have heard that it is like this. He gives out a lot of stuff which the student thinks is very important and is sure to learn by heart. Then Steve in an unexpected moment soaks them with something that everybody has passed up. That is why everybody, in- cluding the sharks and Dawson, gets 50 and below out of a theoretical 100 on their first acquaintance with Steve. Eddie: — Eddie ' s exams are very practical, so they say. They seem to be quite difficult for the engineers but relatively simple for the wool men. Joe: — Joe does not generally give an examination since he found so much difficulty in getting by them himself when he was in school and since it is such hard work to correct them. No complaints have yet been registered about it by the students, as far as we know. Mother: — Mother always judges what the fellows can do by her own ability and that is why everybody gets out of a four hour exam in Cloth Analysis in about an hour and a half. Starfish : — Starfish has a peculiar way of marking the exams. If 3 T ou do the work right but make some little bull which throws your answer off for the problem, he gives you zero; and yet if you get the answer right and do not put down the work, you are flunked just the same. Finals : — We can compare a fellow taking the finals to a man in water over his head, swimming towards a place which he always approaches but never reaches. We must admit, the finals have got our goat. i65 THE PICKOUT 1913 Ha )e fou jBtottceD That — Herbie Ball has worn the same suit for three years. Charlie Sylvain succeeded in growing a man-sized mustache. The Freshmen are a bunch of boobs. Bill Casey ' s woolen pants are cotton. Kirby and Harvy get their work done early in the morning. It ' s a wonder Dearborn hasn ' t caught a fly. Art Gadsby never goes out with the girls. Folsom has no use for undertakers nowadays! Horton took gas and had his hair cut. Barker is never around when wanted. Pillsbury ' s hair is red. Peck has outgrown his bashfulness. McArthur ' s hair is getting gray. Alliot is a human stork. Davis always stays in after recitations to question the instructors. Messenger seldom reports to school. Colby has pawn shop tendencies. Doc Smith has an eagle eye for catching cribbers. Dick Richardson is in love. Sturtevant looks like an old woman. Auto Church doesn ' t look human. The Louse has not improved any. Robertson is always worrying. Rich considers himself self-sufficient. Mather is a grouch. Bennett has found an attachment at home. 1 66 THE PICKOUT 1913 Boesn ' t ft JWake gou iWaU When — Lowe says, Get an eighty-one wrench. Davis says, Oh, gee - ee ! Tuition conies due. Blake queers the class by reporting on time. Crawford butts in. You ' re coming to school and meet fellows going to a show Lane tries to sing. Tucker argues with Perk. Lupien says, Pass in problems by Friday. Examinations come around. Perk wakes you up during his lectures. You see Get-his-bug (Ginsburg). Plummer bawls at mealtime. Cook talks with Miss Feindel. Reports go home. You expect to get a check and don ' t get it. Shedd borrows your dye-pots. Johnson mixes only enough solution for himself. Cosendai bums the last of your tobacco. Pillsbury smokes a cubeb in your room. O ' Connell blows about his brother ' s mill. You have to buy Chemistry books that you never use. You miss the last car and have to walk. Gene tells you to use your bean. 167 SyLvAl JLemonoiogp Mother McKay is getting so fat He does not know just where he ' s at; He talks and talks the whole day long With no more meaning that ding, dang, dong. If the mule brays at every draw And Barker barks to break his jaw, Why should Gene blubber and blow At the sputter and spit of old man Lowe? If Howker pouts at every frib, And Eddie brags about his crib, Why should Gene give a shower bath To everyone that ' s in his path? Gene has a habit of chewing the weed When there ' s nothing else on which to feed; But that ' s no reason why he should spit and blow All over a fellow from head to toe. Eddie ' s lectures this year have been few, For which we are sorry, and tho ' sad, ' tis true; But he ' s wise, for he knows that it ' s better not to give any Than to give them like Gene, that ' s not worth a penny. 1 68 THE PICKOUT 1913 atitier Butitoetaer There was a freshman who worked on a picker Who thought he would look at the beater; He put in his head, And now he ' s in bed, Very much wiser but weaker. There was another young fool Who liked to play with the mule; And now he has learned, After being once burned, That this is a very bad rule. Another, while in the shop, A milling machine he tried to stop; His finger he cut, That was his luck, And now it ' s minus a little off the top. What cards the wool? he said to me, Place in your hand and you shall see ; He put in his hand And I ' ll be d If it didn ' t pull him in up to his knee. The whiskers grew, it may sound queer, Upon his face from ear to ear: To make it clear, He took a beer, And put his face into the shear. And now the doctors are working night and day, Trying to bring to life this ignorant jay; Everybody knows He lost his nose, While his teeth were knocked far away. 169 THE PICKOUT 1913 When learning to weave upon a loom, Have no one else around the room; For a shuttle may fly, And then its good-bye, For the one who gets hit must go to his tomb. Though the gill box looks very meek, Still it catches some most every week; So take our advice, And think it o ' er twice, Or else some sad fate you ' ll meet. ati 38ut Crue The picker placed her upon his lap And slowly began to comber; But as he had a lover ' s taste, He slipped his arm around her waste. Many a yarn to her he told, Of how, when a traveler bold, He ' d given the twist to many a warp Until they cried for him to stop. Many an hour had passed away, And still she smiled and he was gay; One that knows has said to me, They were as happy as they could be. Alas! their joy was not to last, For then and there it came to pass, A draft came through a broken shingle Which blew up her apron and showed her spindles. 170 THE PICK OUT 1913 Now he knew he ' d heen deceived And naturally enough he got very peeved; To repay her for this awful sight, He smote her there with all his might. He struck her on her railway head Until he knew she was really dead; The stop-motion cried for him to stop, While bobbin through the door in came the cops. By an underground passage he disappeared, And got away from those he feared; He crawled through this passage so dark and damp Until he saw a small red lamp. Up a ladder and through a door, And there he was on his own barn floor. To the gilbox stall he made a line For his woolen mule so noble and fine. He jumped upon its woolen back And with his whip gave it a crack. On accelerated speed and with faller leg up, Down the dark road he made him gallop. And the story is told how till this day He ' s still riding far away, Roving over our great big land As only a roving picker can. 171 THEPICKOUT 1913  otne Class Down thro ' the Lab on most any afternoon, You can hear our friend Texas humming a tune, He is right on the job, when it comes to harmonizing, And apart from the rest he takes care of the sizing. You know about Cudlip, who came over the water, And came here with us to get his share in the slaughter, He can show the whole bunch of us where we are wrong, But he and the problems cannot get along. Ware was a cotton card right thro ' and thro ' , And loved to start a riot on That ' s How I Need You. Some say he ' s engaged, but alas; he should worry, Since at four-thirty, he was always in a hurry. Right there among us is an ex-engineer, Ross made his quick change after a feeling of fear, He ' s a regular spinner and at cleaning, he ' s a bear, You know he worked all last summer in a mill to prepare. Did you ever see Casey try doffing a frame? But it ' s always the frame, and not he, that ' s to blame, If on trying this job and the ends did not break, He ' d think, Let me dream on; why must I awake? And now we ' ll pay tribute to that speed merchant, Kyle, He is always a treat with his good-natured smile, It was tough to bring him back from his hunting in Maine, And then to close down and send him back there again. 172 THE PICK OUT 1913 ©ne for jfatljer I think it is time To be writing a rhyme Extolling the virtues of dad. It ' s gone far enough And sure does seem tough, To think of the snubs he has had. We write much of mother And tell how we love her; We offer our hearts at her shrine; We praise her ornately; (She takes it sedately!) Hereafter it ' s father for mine. Of course I ' ll admit She deserves quite a bit Of love and affection, no doubt; I always have said it, She gets all the credit, But father ' s most always left out. Who does all the plugging While maw gets the hugging? Who toils in good weather and bad? Whose arms bear the burden? Who scarce gets a word in? You bet your sweet life it is dad. How long has he waited For praises belated! Let ' s make his poor starved heart feel glad, And while we ' re about it, Let ' s stand up and shout it, Three ripping hot cheers for old dad! 173 THE PICKOUT 1913 WW Wt a Mather ' s a fellow who ' s quiet and staid, But all the same he likes a maid; He goes to see them on the sly, And hates to leave and say good-bye. Charlie Sylvain is getting fat, But it ' s not the Pickout that ' s doing that; He wears a mustache under his nose To draw attention from off his clothes. Pill is the boy with hair so red, Who smokes a cubeb before going to bed; He neither drinks, nor chews nor smokes, That is, he doesn ' t before his folks. Slats is a fellow that ' s lean and lank, But he ' s long of mind as well as shank; When in his head he catches a cold, It takes a month to reach his sole. Herbie ' s a fellow who ' s no earthly good, He couldn ' t make a living at chopping wood; When he sees a fairy on the street, He bows his nose down to his feet. Jim Murray ' s the fellow who has a spouse, That ' s why we ' ve never seen him on a souse; To Chemistry he ' s turned his brawn and brain, And keeps them going with might and main. Horton ' s hair is always long; But there ' s a moral to this song; If to the barber he should go, He ' d catch a cold from head to toe. i74 THE PICKOUT 1913 Cleary ' s the fellow who ' s short and stout, He ' s never in, but always out; He goes to see a girl in town, And that ' s the reason he ' s never around. There ' s one in the class who ' s partly bald, Davis is the name by which he ' s called; He ' s the fellow who ' s always cracking a joke, But to see their point you need a poke. Plummer ' s another who ' s long and lean, Without a light he can ' t be seen; He rushes the dye-pots on the Chemistry side, And what he don ' t spill he leaves inside. Every noon when eating lunch, He deals out cards to the bunch. Can you guess who he can be? Why it ' s Johnson — don ' t you see? Putnam is the man with the funny walk Who always smiles but never talks, When he ' s out with some fairy nice, He treats her like a block of ice. Gadsby ' s a chap who seems to know, Just what to do and where to go; But sad to say, he goes to sleep, When listening to lectures long and deep. Shedd ' s a brow who likes to go, Of an afternoon to see the show; If given a pipe and cards to play, ' Twill keep him out of mischief, so they say. There ' s one who walks with a stoop, And takes example after Loup. Davy ' s the name of this wonderful bird Who heaves the ball from first to third. i 5 THE PICKOUT 1913 Here ' s to the one that likes the girls, Whether their hair is short or hangs in curls; On the side of his head he wears his hat, Just like a circus acrobat. — Chic. There is in our class a fair co-ed, About whom in the papers you ' ve lately read; She ' s a special student of cloth and Design, In both of which her rating is fine. Church is the ending of his name, But he ' s no dominie just the same; Things he says and tries to do Seem just awful to me and you. Cook ' s the man who ' s a soldier bum, If he saw a bullet, he ' d surely run; In his studies he always gets high; Should he get an F he ' d lie down and die. There ' s another fellow that ' s nearly dead, He looks as if just out of bed; With open mouth he walks around, Like a hayseed just come into town. Answer — Dearborn. You ' ve all heard Dick ' s favorite song, Let ' s go to Boston next Saturday morn; We ' ll jump in the car and take a ride, And when we get there, we ' ll freely imbibe. Carroll was born a minister ' s son, But to wild things his mind did run; Some of the things he ' s done at school Have been outside the Golden Rule. Dick ' s the one who teaches us how to knit Caps and stockings that don ' t always fit; He ' ll take your picture when you say, For he carries his camera night and day. 176 THE PICK OUT 1913 Walter ' s the one who sells us books The prices of which are made by crooks. Of course we know he ' s not to blame, But the price he asks is an awful shame. Over in hand looms a lamp was broke, Which seemed to the Freshies an awful joke. Starr was puzzled night and day, How some could do it and get away. Have you ever heard of jacquards, Which weave the patterns by means of cards? If you want to know how it is done, Ask an expert, Musard ' s the one. Perk ' s an instructor who ' s walk is slow, And he always seems to be on the go; But the things he does are very few, This is a secret we confide to you. Sleeper is the one that teaches dye lab, And lectures the students when their colors are bad; His voice is gruff, but all the same In his head he carries an active brain. Doc Smith is a prof that ' s liked by all, And always on time the roll he calls. He knows his business from A to Z, Which is going some in Chemistry. The fellows on the Chemistry side Have father Olney for their guide; He tells them how to prepare and dye, Wool and cotton to suit the eye. When it comes to finishing cloth, We all our hats to Stewart doff; Fulling and shearing he can teach, Also napping and crabbing, and how to bleach. 177 THE PICKOUT 1913 We have an instructor in Design, Whom everyone thinks is jolly and fine. Heinie ' s the name that he ' s known by, When we say we like him, it ' s really no lie. Joe is the one that makes the cloth Over which we fume and froth; He can tell you enough about a loom To fill up full a good-sized room. If you want to learn to speak French and German just like a Greek, Come to Textile, study and strive Under Cushing, the worthy and wise. Herbie is the prof that teaches Mech, And when he ' s through the class is a wreck; He talks to them of cams and gears, Until they want to plug their ears. Loup ' s the one who teaches Math, Which is hard enough to set you daft; He squares the x and cubes the y, Until the poor student is ready to die. The Cotton fibre is looked after by Steve, Who prepares and gets it ready to weave; He ' s great on theory, as you know, But theory in a mill doesn ' t always go. Jack in the shop you can see, Is always busy as he can be; He teaches the Engineers from day to day How to work the steel in the proper way. Last but not least we come to Eames, Who tho ' he don ' t look it, has lots of brains; He walks around on heels of rubber And hears the slightest noise or merest blubber. i 8 Alexander Ross Casey Cudlip Kyle 1914 STEVITES JOKES BETTER STICK TO YOUR TRADE An instructor was sent to take a number of visitors around the buildings. In the cotton department said in- structor made a brave attempt to explain about the picker, trusting they did not know anything about the machine. How- ever, luck was against him, for the following remark was passed by the one to whom the explanation was given. Who is that boob? I have been manufacturing pickers for twenty years and so refuse to be stuffed by him. Steve Smith comes before the class with a bobbin in his hand. I have here some roving which I am thinking of buying. For the time being, consider yourself the buyers. Would you buy it? He passes the bobbin to the most interested looking student, who staples it, looks it over carefully, and after med- itating says, No, I would not. Why, says Steve, thinking he had a genius in the class. Well, said the youth, I ' m broke. TOO BAD HE DRINKS Cleary (having nightmare) — Hey! stop that chafing- dish; it ' s running around the room. 1 80 THEPICKOUT 1913 JUST LIKE A GIRL Shorty, finding a letter awaiting him, quickly picks it np with a beating heart, as he recognized the hand wriitng of his affinity. His joy did not last long, however, as on opening the scented envelope, he discovered that his fair friend had mailed him a letter which was intended for her mother. It is needless to say that poor Shorty dropped down from the seventh heaven with a dull sickening thud. Davis says : A ring on the finger is worth two on the telephone. Slats is the man with the wrinkles in his vest. Horton is the fellow that put the dear in Dearborn. Barker: — How do you make soap? Mather: — Take a handful of grease and something else. There was an instructor named Perkins, Who has a great passion for shirkin ' , When it comes to some work, There ' s an absence of Perk, So what ' s the use, Let Jack do it! Perk ' s favorite chums, Mr. Fat Man, and the automobile agent. Ask the engineers for further information. WHY THE RIVER WAS MUDDY A few months ago, the engineers, during laboratory work, feeling in a kind and generous mood, undertook to give Horton his annual bath, and ever since then those who know not, have been wondering why on that day the river became so dark and inky. 181 THE PICKOUT 1913 A PROBLEM If a freshman informs an instructor that he puts the fol- lowing number of hours on his study outside of school, find the diameter of a man ' s throat who can swallow that bull. Design 8 hours Mechanism 8 Chemistry 6 Wool 10 Mathematics 7 Cloth analysis 21 Languages 10 70 hours PLEASE DO NOT STRIKE HIM Question : Where does the vapor in the tube come from that is left when piece of wood is heated? Freshman : It comes from the earth which was around the roots of the tree when it was growing. IT WAS NOT FEAR BUT ONLY POLICY Wool Men (calling) : We want Gene! We want Gene! ' ' Gene: What did you fellows say? Cleary: We said we wanted tea. SAD BUT TRUE Venus Milot stayed away from home so long that his stern parent put detectives on his trail. Upon investigation, and with the aid of a microscope, they found a small growth of hair under his proboscis. He claims he did not dare to go home until he could show a full grown mustasche.

For catalogue address CHARLES H. EAMES, S. B., Principal, Lowell, Mass. PICKOUT ADVERTISEMENTS Established Seventeen Hundred Ninety-One One Hundred and Twenty-Third Year UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF J. E. CONANT CO., (Auctioneers) OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS The business of systematic preparation for absolute auction sales and the thorough and effective advertisement of such sales has become of as much importance in the successful liquidation of large manufacturing properties as has the clearing house system to the national banks. The danger is more apparent than ever before of leaving the management of the sale of large manufacturing or other properties to the amateur, the layman, or the inexperienced. For one office to prepare and make the catalogue of a property for sale, for an- other office to advertise the sale, and for a third office to sell the property means disaster from the start. The following absolutely necessary for complete success in any sale must, in ad- dition to the dealer and speculator, com- prize the actual user, the actual consumer, and the purchaser who buys because of home demand. A well grounded knowledge of and much familiarity with the property in hand is positively essential to the intelligent handling of the same for sale. The sale value of many properties is depreciated by indecision as to what to do, dilatory and waiting methods. The time to sell any property is immediately and at once it is for sale, from that moment it commences to grow common and become stale. Combinations not endured. Within the last ten or twelve years the management of the sale of some two hun- dred manufacturing properties situated in seventeen different states of the country has come to hand unsolicited — an exper- ience without precedent. How a property should be divided, in what order it should be sold, in what man- ner presented to the public, and who should be notified, are not matters of opinion, but purely those of experience.

PICKOUT ADVERTISEMENTS 13 The Textile Industry of the United States leads the world in the production of low priced colored cotton fabrics of great merit and intrinsic value for the masses. O NE of the chief contributing causes for the large increase in the pro- duction of colored cotton goods in the United States is the intro- duction of the Fast Colors. It was only a few years ago that consumers were afraid to buy colored cotton goods especially in light shades, such as Blue, Helio, etc., because the colors would not stand up under laundering and exposure to light. Those who purchased colored cotton goods bought chiefly the dark shades in the hope that the fading would be gradual. One of the advantages of colored cotton fabrics, besides being light and cool, is the feeling of cleanliness that comes from the fact that they can be laundered many times and without injury to appearance. Many bought White when they would have preferred colored goods, be- cause they knew from sad experience that the colored effects weie unsightly after a few launderings. When lndanthrene dyed cotton goods began to appear on the market a few years ago the trade was naturally reluctant to believe that a really fast color for cotton had at last been found, but the consumers gradually saw the difference and began to realize that colored cotton goods were really worth while, since they could be produced in colors which would practically out-wear the fabric. Gradually this feeling of confidence grew in the minds of consumers gen- erally with the result that a large impetus was given to the colored cotton goods trade. The end is not yet, but already America leads in the use of Fast Colors ; another reason why American goods merit the preference.

The fact that they subscribe indicates they are desirous of learning. Some are but freshmen. Others, per- haps grey-headed and prosperous manufacturers, are taking a post-graduate course on general textile subjects through this monthly publication, whose editor and special writers are all trained men from the school of practical experience. The TEXTILE WORLD RECORD is primarily devoted to the processes, methods, and machinery of textile manufacturing. It is the oldest, and by far the most influential, authoritative and most-quoted journal of the textile industry. Its field is among the Cotton, Woolen, Worsted, Knitting, Silk, Flax, and Jute Mills, Dye Works, Print Works, and Bleaching and Finishing Establishments. Through its departments of Correspondence and Notes, New Machinery and Processes, Special Technical Departments, Mill News, Personals, and New Publications, it keeps its subscribers in constant touch with the textile world, and thoroughly informed as to all new machinery, methods and events of prime importance to those interested in textile work.
