ARNOLD BEMIS ADAMS 0 II “abie , “bemis, “toots” Engineering Soeiety, 2, 3 Skull and Rones, 1, 2 Pickout Student Censor, 3 Orchestra, 1 Pitter pat elose in the shadow of his illustrious brother, came Arnold Bemis. Having spent a few days at Mt. Hermon, and quickly deeiding that the ministerial life was a bit too confining, he reefed his main sail and at last dropped anehor in Lowell. Now sinee Tracy is a thin man, the forementioned shadow was consequently straight and narrow, so “ Bemis after some deliberation deeided that a new and somewhat broader reflection would suit the purpose better. So today we find him the only original A. B. A. As to his meehanieal ability he needs no better recommendation than the one Summersbv, the electric stop-motion inventor, is ready to give him, for “Bemis” has been his right-hand man throughout his scientific research work. If you want sure conviction as to his in- dustriousness, glance over his well-kept notebooks and carefully arranged data, and you can ' t help blit predict a bright future for him in the engineering world. FRED AMOS ABBOTT “farmer Rams, 2, 3 Manager Baseball, 3 Asst. Manager Baseball, 2 Pickout, 1, 2, 3 Nominating Committee, 3 Class President, 3 Upstream Committee, 3 Three years ago a young man came to us from the small but prosperous town of Dexter, which is located in the backwoods of Maine, and cast his lot with the boys at Mary Shattuek ' s. I nlike the others there, his evenings were spent in plugging away on his freshman subjects, which he passed off in great style. So that is why these past two years he has been able to spend his time joy- riding on the B. M., between Boston, Lowell, and other nearby points. Puzzle: Find Abbott on a Wednesday evening in Lowell. He is an ardent follower of Eddie Barker, and many pleasant hours are spent in the wool department listening to Mr. Howker tell of the many beauties and merits of Saltaire (145). Although of a wander- ing nature, the “Farmer” has always attended regularly to his work and has made quite a name for himself in the Barker Kingdom. His efforts have always been of the highest order while in school, and without doubt when Fred gets out into the mill world, he will uphold the reputation he has earned at Textile.

T Ii E P 1 C K 0 l T 19 14 RAYMOND FROST BRADLEY A K h “ brad Engineering Soc iety, 2, 3 Pickout Hoard, -2 Skull iiiui Hones, 1, 2 Pickout Student Censor, 3 Rather a quiet unassuming looking chap, but the merry twinkle in “Brad ' s eye gives him dead away, llow many Sunday evenings have we seen our little Raymond don a happy smile and a dean white collar and walk briskly and expectantly toward the little village of Pawtueketville. Alas, my friends, 1 think he went too often, but then — why consider frivolities? Who would think that such a small fellow was in reality a re- nowned hunter. Many a night he has returned from a long day ' s tramp in the woods with a bagfull of game (partridges, squirrels, etc., — no chickens). ‘ ' Brad is a worker from the start to the finish, and all the fellows sit up and take notice when he speaks; they know that he is going to tell them something worth while. On engineering problems you will have to go some to phase him, and that he will be more than able to cope with greater problems when out in the world, we are more than confident. RAYMOND CALVIN BRICTvETT A K 4 “ brick ' ’ Rams, 1, 2, 3 Captain Baseball, 3 Upstream Committee, 2 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Representative Athletic Council, 2 Pickout Board, 3 President Athletic Association, 3 A model youth. V baseball player of note. A devoted admirer of a little girl down “hum. A most modest gent. A trusty ' under Eddie ' s icxfchige. A hoy of steady ha hits, but he does like his old T. D. A man who has done much for Textile, and above all a good old scout. PARKER GOULD BLAKE A K t lizzie Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Show, 1, 3 Handsome Lizzie, the beauty specialist, protruded from Cam- bridge to Lowell and took the Engineering course. Ilis first and second years, for the most part, were spent in his boudoir, on account of Lupe ' s teachings; nevertheless his third year has been entirely different. Alas, he has been led astray. He carries matches and keeps late hours. Seven nights in the week and twice on Sundays is his regular schedule, and he wishes there were more. Anyone asking his whereabouts receives the reply, None of your d business. Why this secrecy, Parker? In spite of the fact that he has gone into society, he still manages to get by Perk’s exams, but we wonder how. 29
