CReeriNG jforetoorti OMETHING should be left behind as a form of monument from the Class of 1915, and for this reason we have struggled with the greatest effort to put out a year-book worthy of the School, the Senior Class, and the Board. If Perfection cannot be reached in anything, but we have given all our available time and efforts in making this book one of the best ever sent out from the doors of Lowell Textile School. f May each Senior preserve and cherish this volume as a memo of the dear old days spent at the school, and in looking back over its pages, may he see himself again, not as a son of his Alma Mater, but as a fellow among his pals enjoying the fragrance of youth and living again in the happy atmosphere of Textile. o o X u H « ►J O w a H Crusted of Hotoeli Ctjttle (Incorporated 1895) COR PO TION i onorarp %vu$ttt$ Frederick Fanning Ayer, New York City Charles H.

Right well do we remember that first day of school, when we saw him leaning against a pillar in the archway — as if to hold up Southwick Hall were a feat of minor importance . Yes, he hailed directly from the wilds of Maine to see what civilization offered. After much heated argument and persuasion, the peg-tops and woolen shirt went out of style as far as Porker was concerned, and soon he cut quite a figure — as a gentleman, a student, a worker, and, best of all, an inventor. But there was a reason for this great transformation. Floyd always had a great interest in this school, but he soon learned to love another school (street) better than dear old Textile. He is bearing out the old adage which says that Textile boys will all marry Lowell girls, for we know that he is a strong Lena in that direction. Little does Madison realize the opportunities or the accom- plishments of its representative at Textile, but some day it will awaken to find him a Thomas Edison — a master mind. 1 3 3 I am E. ERIC ALLIOT on Cotton Cards, 1, 2, 3 Show, Musical Director of Show, 3 13 Club, 1, 2, President Senior Class Pickout Board, 1, 2, Hello — Charlie Eames? This is Jelleme, New Jersey, sending under separate cover, the one and only son 1 have, D Alliot from about forty-five minutes from Broadway. Teach him Cot- ton in all its phases, — only, say, Charlie, never mind the waist depart- ment, — he ' s a P. G. in that already. And just warn the Belvidere mothers to keep a watchful eye over their female offspring. So long. Thus Ricky was heralded into our midst, and, believe me , as soon as we got to know him, we knew the stuff about Belvidere that Jell handed out wasn ' t all bull , ' cause you see, Mrs. So and So was just about leaning over the fence to warn her neighbor that there was a heart-catcher in town, when Eric was out on the front porch saying good-night to her daughter. And so he stayed, and the longer he stayed the longer he grew, and the wiser he became, for he consulted Judd Holt, expert on any course in school (he has tried them all) and between them, they doped out the only original Course VII — Cotton Commission House Course — a highly satisfactory combination which eliminates Perkins and presents the only course with time out for a mid-morning breakfast, and an afternoon smoke. It ' s a hobby of Charlie ' s to linger over Alliot ' s name, and sadly remark Alas, it might have been. And it looks from where we sit that if Prexy dreams like that over a special, Eric need never fear for a very bright and prosperous future. THE PICKOUT 19 15 WESLEY DAVIS COLEMAN Oil Hockey, 2, 3 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 2, 3 Football, 2, 3 Athletic Council, 2 Manager Hockey, 3 Class Football, 1, 2 Show Committee, 2 Goldie Coleman was a man who claimed attention from the first. Considerably over six feet, built like a white hope , with a brilliant thatch of red hair as a crowning glory, he was watched but molested little by upper classmen. He has been prominent in athletics and has always been on deck for anything that might turn up, — except on Wednesday nights, when he has never failed to slip down to Somerville. There being such a mortgage on his heart down there, Coleman has never shone much socially here. His one social feature, a front-row seat at the Play House, got him so much return that he has ever since been satisfied to live a life of seclusion with his Lowell affinity, Lefty, the Boy Militiaman. Early in his first year he was exposed to Engineering, and that dread disease Perkingetis almost got him in its ever-clutching hand, but his hair gave him a natural tendency toward coloring, and from what we hear he has made use of that tendency to great advantage among those who dye the cotton and wool . JOHN GREGORY ECHMAL AK Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Class Football, 1, 2 Among the group of graduates of the 1912 class of Lowell High, there was one chap who saw and appreciated the fact that Textile held out great opportunities for men of ambition. John, for it was none other than he, has been a worker for these three short years. He enjoys all of his training, but especially does he love to enlarge upon his experiences in one certain unique department — just ask him. John is sure to make good, and we can expect to see him work his way to the top of the ladder in the textile world. HAROLD VINCENT FARNSWORTH on Pickout Board, 2, 3 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Football, 3 Hockey, 2, 3 Upstream Committee, 2 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Nominating Committee, 2 Textile Show, 1, 2, 3 Vice-President Sophomore Class Manager of Show, 3 President Nominating Committee, 3 Lord Farnsworth, Duke of Winchester, and the pride of his family, entered Textile in the fall of 1912, and immediately proved that, although of royal birth, he could mingle successfully with the lower classes. This feeling for the common herd grew and grew until no Boathouse or Casino gathering was complete without his imperial presence. Childe Harolde has been more consistently connected with school activities than anyone in his class, and deserves much credit for the good work he has done. As a nut and bolt artist he has done very creditably, mixing social and school duties with engineering, — scoring a success that causes us to hope for big things from the boy that has been around . Goldie ' ' John M Farny 25 THE PICKOUT 1915 ' Fordie ' AUSTIN LEWIS FORD Wool Society, 1, 2, 3 Now here is a man who has been out to see. Austin came to us after he had conceived the idea that he would not be a full-fledged superintendent until he had absorbed the teachings of the Lowell Textile School. By the way, this Austin Ford, not a Ford machine, in August, can certainly throw the Bull and has a verbal vocabulary larger than Webster ' s Dictionery. Ford specialized from the start and has comDleted a set of notes and information that will fix him for any position in the woolen end of business. In all seriousness, Austin has a chance worth while, as he is a very able talker and is well versed in all branches of the wool busi- ness from beginning to end. RALPH ALLEN FORSAITH Class President, 2 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Three short years ago, from the blue hills of New Hampshire came this youth to Textile land to prepare himself for greater tasks. Every morning, as regular as a clock, we see him hike from the station, bearing the customary commuting school-bag. He excels, among other things, in note keeping. Yes, he can typewrite — but some believe that he has a willing assistant among the fair sex to assist him. As a friend, Ralph is the truest — as a loyal son of Textile, there is none better. He has not an enemy, and great things are to be expected of him. •Ralph ' JOSIAH BUTLER GOODELL ' Butt A K$ Textile Show, 3 Class Football, 1, 2 Football, 2, 3 Rams, 1, 2, 3 Business Manager Pickout, 3 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Hockey, 1, 2, 3 Every day we saw Butt coming to school on his two-wheeled auto. Perhaps he is training for a six-day race with Lester. Let us know when it is coming off, Butt . Butler cast his lot with Eddie ' s Wool class, and has done ex- cellent work under Barker ' s careful instruction. Outside of school hours he was always ready for a good time, and had many of them down at Charlie ' s. He was one of the strong men of his class; with one punch he could break a locker in the students ' room, when he found he had locked up his keys in it. For this very reason it was impossible for them to keep him in the Lowell Jail; nevertheless, he spent many pleasant evenings at this institution (not breaking lockers). His favorite sports are teaching Barker to play golf, joy-riding, and as a pitcher he had no equal in mixing highballs, with which he struck out many batters. While in school Butler attended faithfully to his work, and we wish him all kinds of success when he leaves. 26 THE PICKOUT 19 15 THOMAS HARRINGTON Class President, 1 Pickout, 3 Class Football, 1, 2 Football, 3 Hockey, 1, 2, 3 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Hail to the King of the satchel-carriers aud Queen of the water nymphs. Three years of grip-lugging from Cambridge has made Tom one-sided. Knowing the natatorial performances of this wonder, we suggest that he well might swim to school — via the Middlesex Canal. Tom has not confined his energies to swimming, however, for he has far too many to limit himself to one thing. He has been the mainstay of the hockey team, excelled in the various other sports, and is classed as one of the most studious and best fellows in the school. Being a chemist, he has already found out the composition of water and that two parts of hydrogen and one of oxygen is the atmosphere in which he lives — in the summer time. We wish to congratulate, in advance, the concern which acquires Tom ' s services, as his ability and industriousness are unquestioned. CHARLES LINCOLN HOWARTH Pickout, 3 You all have heard of that little song entitled, T Wonder Where the Old Man Goes , but our Charles Lincoln knows all, for every Saturday afternoon we can see father and son headed for some amusement place. All the girls from here to who go to work at 9 o ' clock in the morning know Charlie, for he can be seen every morning with a different girl. Howarth has passed everything in the course with a rush, and never had to exert himself in copping his dip , and there is no doubt but some day we will find him head of the Lowell Bleachery. JUSTIN GORDON HOLT Show Committee, 1, 2, 3 Asst. Manager Show, 3 Asst. Manager Football, 2 Manager Football, 3 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Engineering Society, 1 Cotton Society, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 1 Justin and his running mate, Sturdy certainly were the stars of the Freshman Class, as far as college life was concerned. Juddie launched forth on the Engineering Course, intending to give special attention to wool subjects, but for some reason the wool portion of the course became so very distasteful to him that he decided to take Course VII. We have little doubt but that he will pull second highest mark in his class (Holt Alliot). This little class labors from day to day under the guidance of Stevey , but occasionally half of the class will say to the other half (flipping up a coin), Heads we go to Keith ' s — tails we go to school . Heads always comes up. Holt and Alliot march off arm in arm whistling The High Cost of Living . The South American fever has attacked our Juddie to the extent that he is plugging into the depths of Spanish as if his whole future depended upon it. Before many moons Textile will be repre- sented in South America, and another channel will be opened for Textile graduates. Our best wishes go with him. We know that, when he concentrates his efforts aloDg one line, he is a winner. ' Tom ' 1 Chas ' Judd 27 THE PICKOUT 1915 JAMES ANDREW IRVINE $ ■$■ Student Censor, 2 Pickout Board, 3 Football, 3 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 In Deac Lowell Textile School is proud to acknowledge a hard and earnest worker. When first he came to Textile, fresh from Chicago ' s tenderloin, Deac found himself more or less out of his element. It was not long, however, before his good qualities were brought out, and he found favor in the eyes of both instructors and classmates. Since then he has been indispensable As a religious worker, a social uplifter, an advocate of Chris- tianity and a champion of righteousness, this disciple of Billy Sunday stands in a class by himself. He enjoys the remarkable distinction of being a Sunday School teacher. Truly, the ministry lost another of its calling when Deac decided on Textile. One remarkable feature of Deac ' s character is his profound love of fussing. In spite of his good qualities, Deac is a strong favorite with the women. It is hoped by many that Deac may overcome this latter obstacle before its bad effects are felt. Nevertheless, Deac is a student and a thinker. Should nothing go wrong, we firmly believe his success is assured. Deac Lamp ' LESLIE BALCH LAMPREY Pickout, 3 Vice-President of Class, 3 Stubby Another one of Lawrence ' s royal sons has entered this great institution and has made good. And does he live in Lowell during the school year? No, he takes his little bag each morning, and packs in his books along with the lunch that Ma has put up for him, and beats it for the early train. Lamp says that he hates commuting , but we really do not believe him, for it has been rumored that there is one particular Normal School girl who is dead gone on Leslie; of course we can ' t blame her. He is a dear, sweet boy (?). Leslie is all right, his only fault being that he frequents his camp too often, or whenever the surrounding campers have the female sex for visitors. It is also understood that Put and Lamp go to camp over some week-ends to do their studying. Sounds good, doesn ' t it.? Yes — a long way off. Balch is a member of the famous 1915 Chem- ists and he is certainly a worthy member, as his work is always of high quality, and he has the right kind of stuff in him. We thoroughly believe that Lamp has a brilliant future before him, as success is only attained by hard work, and this charac- teristic predominates in his makeup. ARAM ARTHUR MILOT AK All hail Stubby , the smallest, and cutest man (?) in the class. He journeyed all the way from Rhode Island to the Spindle City to attend the Lowell Textile School, where he could take the design course. In this course the work is light; the only strength required is to hold a small brush between the fingers. The strength needed for this does not overtax his small amount, and thus we find him very proficient in the line. Aram has also spent much time outside of his regular course in learning one of the ancient languages — Chinese. Any day when he is in Dye Lab. you may hear him talking this language to him- self; not crazy, only ambitious — why, our friend Zia can almost understand him. Stubby is also a great admirer of beautiful women, and although he does not know his three favorites personally — Mary Pickford, Helen Holmes, and Grace Darling, he spends much of his time watching them at the local theatres. Nevertheless, Aram is a hard little worker, and we all feel sure that he will be a big asset to his mill, and to the school when he leaves its doors, and starts on his upward journey. THE PICKOUT 19 15 CHARLES BURTON MITCHELL Class Football, 1, 2 Nominating Committee, 3 Engineering Society, 1, 2 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Designers, 3 Football, 3 Relay, 1 Upstream Committee, 3 C. Burton came to Lowell with a fine record in athletics, which he proved to us was true if he was so inclined. At first he resisted the wiles of the Lowell maidens and remained true (?) to some little girl back home, but time will accomplish anything, and he soon succumbed, gaining the reputation of being a most excellent fusser . This reputation he upheld, breaking many hearts, until the latter part of his second year, when he fell in love, and according to the last report, he is still true. Charles is not exactly a Fan , but birds of a feather flock together . Charlie is a fine example of the I should worry movement, but he has talent, and with the talent which he possesses a winning road is open for him. ' Mitch ' HOWARD ANDREW MORRILL ■f Class Football, 2 Engineering Society, Football, 2, 3 2, 3 Athletic Council, 3 Pickout 3 13 Club, 2, 3 After spending a year at the only college in Maine, Muddle decided to cast his lot with C. B. M. and join the ranks of the loyal sons of L. T. S. His mind was soon disabused of the idea that Textile was a cinch. Mid-years found him a regular book-worm. Muddle is one of those boys who tells you he doesn ' t believe in theory at all, but nevertheless, most of his time is spent pawing over some book which pertains to the practical operation of a mill. Here is one thing about Rip which is too good to be omitted in the annals of Textile — His fond desire to sleep. The following conversation might be heard any day: — Where is Rip, gone out? No, he is asleep. What, again? No, yet. Notwithstanding the fact that he is inclined to be a Rip at times (he is a ripper when he awakens, ' , we are prone to believe that he will be a live wire at the head of the largest cotton mill in the country. PHILIP FRANCIS O ' BRIEN A K$ Football, 3 Rams, 1, 2, 3 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Class Secretary, 3 Capt. Baseball, 3 Class Football, 1, 2 All the way from old Sudbury Road, Wayland, comes our Obie . His first year, like many Freshmen, was spent in deep study, and as he is a follower of Eddie, we can hardly blame him. His second year was spent similar to the first, but most of his third year was spent in experimenting, and finally he invented and per- fected a valuable lovers ' aid, namely, the pillow game. Now we must not assume that Obie spent all of his time on his new invention, because wherever fun was started he was always to be found. He also was a good short-distance runner, and we can remember how one opponent bit the dust while in a race with him. His favorite pastime is calling Sunday evenings, and telling how he saw a Ford running along the tops of a cluster of Pine trees. For exercise he plays baseball. He is full of ambition, as shown by his achievements, and will without doubt do well in his chosen line. ' Muddle ' Obie THE PICKOUT 1915 GEORGE IVES PUTNAM ' •Put Riggsie ' | ty 2 Class Football, 1, 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Class Secretary, 1 Editor-in-Chief of Pickout, Hockey, 1, 2 Relay, 1 Pickout, 1, 2 Put came to us from the Hub, but he was originally from the old Yankee stock of New Hampshire, which accounts for his cocksureness and constancy of purpose. Nothing could convince Put that any engineering subject had any value, but to him all subjects pertaining to Chemistry were little gods to be worshipped and studied with untiring vigor. Some idea of his tenacity may be conceived from the fact that it took the combined forces of Herbie, Browntail moths, and mercuric chloride to down him in linkages and cams one day. Put was a jolly, good fellow in his first year, but his many mates were disappointed the second year, but still pleased in finding out, during the summer, his thoughts, heart and interests were transformed New Havenward. Only a small portion of G. I. is left in Lowell, and so we must content ourselves with conditions as they are. Put has a bright future before him, matrimonially, Textile- wise, and otherwise, and we expect to see our Putty a success and a man of renown. HOMER CHASE RIGGS Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Back in 1910 Riggsie came to the big town with an idea of some day becoming a Textile engineer, and, incidentally, of becoming a regular chauffeur, but in his first year the incident exchanged with the idea, and the love of automobiles was more inviting than that of Textile. After one year of motoring and adventure, our South Essex hero enlisted again under the Red and Black and has since been a mainstay of the first regular class of Degree Engineers. A more whole-hearted gent you cannot find — perhaps that is the reason his acquaintances among the fair sex are so broad. If you want a girl, just speak to Homer. Just wait until the Adams-Riggs Company place the Wharf Rotary Engine upon the market — the 1916 Degree Engineers will then all have lucrative positions in the big concern. Electricity is Homer ' s hobby. Some day he will vie with Edison on electrical problems and inventions. The door of opportunity is wide open to him and success will surely attend him. RALPH LYFORD SANBORN Engineering Society, Skull and Bones Textile Show, 2 1, 2, 3 13 Club, 3 Football, 3 Pickout, 3 Shorty ' Sunny comes from somewhere in Maine. He is a little man with a big voice. His usual calmness of manner is entirely lost when Perk or Eddie begin to ask him questions. He gets red in the face and invariably says the wrong thing. Exams are another thing which cause him to become unduly excited, but after much scowling and mussing of his hair he gets by them. In his second year Shorty went out for the Textile Show, and he certainly made a fine girl. Sunny is a most serious little fellow and takes everything very much to heart. He never shirks and his conscientiousness will make him a valuable man with the textile industry. THE PICKOUT 1915 KENNETH MARTIN SIMPSON Hockey, 2, 3 Class Football, 1, % Engineering Society, Designers Society, 3 13 Club, 1, 2, 3 Oil Textile Show, 1, Asst Manager Baseball, 2 Manager Baseball, President Athletic Association, Athletic Council, John ' looked upon engineering with great eagerness and from the first became a staunch supporter of thaf course. After testing its joys (?) for a year and a half, Perkins and his outfit suddenly lost their delight and Design became John ' s specialty. A continuous fight for first honors at the Boathouse, etc., has been waged for three years by Farnsworth and our hero, resulting in a draw, — the first round going to a tie, the second to Simpson, and the third to Farnsworth. Simpson is what anyone else but Perk would call an all- round man. First, he went all around the school looking for the best course. Having finally picked out one to suit his fastidious taste, he found he had landed something that kept him going all around school following it up, — or dodging it, as the case might be. He has done well in class football and hockey, held down heavy (?) parts in two Textile Shows, excellently managed baseball, and made a clean-up socially, — all in three short years. Success in the business world is the next item in John ' s career, and with the big start along all lines that he has obtained in L. T. S., he will probably annex that early in the game.

Hark ye, all the loyal sons of Textile, while we quote the doings of the class of nineteen sixteen. One bright day in September, 1913, about fifty youths entered the archway at Southwick Hall and filed into the office to sign ihe pledge for a year. Owing to a notice on the bulletin board, we were lured, under false pretences, to the students ' room. Here we were introduced to our enemies, the Sophomores, and we were given a lively reception. Here we are on the second floor. Two flights up and we are out the skylight. Since our sojourn in this, our sophomore year, we have met many new faces. The chemists are now acquainted with Bobby and the engineers with Perk . Nevertheless, we still have a faint hope, at least a few of us, of still being able, some distant day, to grab the sheepskin from Charlie ' s hand. However, let us change from the mythical to the practical side of our school life and enumerate our great accomplishments up to the present day. When still Freshies, we were strong enough to take the annual Upstream Day ball game from our 1915 rivals, and now with new rivals we still hold our laurels intact. These children of 1917 came to us, sweet and innocent, on the 28th of September, 1914. Docile as sheep they marched to the Students ' Room and there took their first lesson in How Not to Be Fresh . The last scene in their opening act was a quarter-mile run. No spikes allowed. Aided by lots of wind and encouragement from our noble class, several of our world-famed sprinters bettered the Old Ladies ' Home record for this event. It is 36 THE PICKOUT 1915 a matter of conjecture just what they would have done if they were allowed to wear shoes. We are certain that these shoes were strong enough to make a cripple walk. Don ' t laugh. Ask any of the Sophs who helped in the removal of the Freshies ' foot apparel for the veracity of this statement. After this first day ' s fun we considerately let up a little on the poor youths. We didn ' t want to see them all get the can at once, and so we left them to study. The Field Day which is recorded in the annals of generations ago was abolished this year. If a weaker class than ours had held sway, it might have come off. The Freshies were shy this year, however. Our only hope is that next year ' s Freshman class will force them to play the football game, and thus the old order of things will come in again. The Freshies did have nerve enough to play us basketball, how- ever, much to their sorrow. It is almost needless to say who won, but for those not on the inside ' 16 will make the announcement, We did. Further information would only make the boys ' ' of 1917 feel -their sad plight worse. Let us review our accomplishments in another line — on the alleys. A Bowling League was organized this year at the school by some enterprising upper classman who hoped vainly to win some honors in some form of sport. We had so far monopolized other forms of athletics, but again we were not to be denied. Five of our noble class every Thursday afternoon laid away their dyepots or brushes and proceeded to the new field of honor. They have done their work well, so far at least, and will continue to do so unless they break a leg. For two or three weeks the rollers of 1915 were with us, but now they are , trailing and will be forced to fight it out with the greenies of 1917 and the degree Textile colorists for the cellar championships. In summing up the events of our class, you will always find its members predominating in all branches of sport — football, hockey basketball and baseball; in the Textile Show; and as for our bowling team, it had no equal. We all hope to return next year and finish our gallant career. 37 Gerrish Lawrence Cobv Davieau Albrecht Garmon Mollov Andrews Cubberly Lewis Foster Park Sokolsky O ' Conner Woods Shaber Tyler Baker Deady Sturtevant Peabody Sjostrom Folkins Dover Powers Brearley Woods Fuller Perlman Barlofsky Cummings Billings THE SOPHOMORE CLASS 3GUgi0trr of 1916 NAME Albkecht, Charles Henry Andrews, Henry Billings Baker, William John Barlofsky, Archie Barnes, Hammond Billings, Howard Brearley, Earl Belmont Colby, James Tracy Cox, James William, Jr. Cubberly, Norman Pttrdy Cummings, Edward Stanton Davieau, Alfred Edward Deady, William Francis Dover, Henry Harold Finch, Cecil Clement Folkins, Ralph Morris Foster, Boutwell :Iyde course LAST ATTENDED SCHOOL HOME ADDRESS IV Dorchester High 23 Charles St., Dorchester, Mass.

Meekins Arthur Norman Hart President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer Representative to Athletic Council 43 Class of 1917 We come from the North And we come from the South, We hail from the East and West; And of all the classes in Textile Old Seventeen is the best! Some slogan! Unlike most slogans, this one tells the gospel truth. If you don ' t believe it, ask the Sophomores. Have you ever experienced the pleasant wait in a dentist ' s office? Comfortable, isn ' t it? Emphatically, it is not. You are not frightened, but . Your heart beats like a trip-hammer. You frequently go to the water-cooler to refresh yourself with pure aqua, to quench hidden fires, so to speak. You are not happy. It is not strange, then, that we Freshmen had similar feelings on that eventful twenty-eighth of September, nineteen hundred and fourteen. Were we scared? Perish the thought! What was to frighten us? 1916? Heaven forbid. The baleful looks of the Sophs troubled us not one mite. Still, we could have felt better. Now some of us were very bashful, too bashful to suit the Sophomores, in fact. Therefore, it behooved the well-known and illustrious President of 1916, Mr. Heney, to introduce the tardy ones to the other members of his tribe. He informed us, in his cute, innocent way, that we had better go down into the Students ' Room and become acquainted . He evidently had an almost overwhelming desire to give 1917 a most hearty welcome. Most kind of him, we must all admit. We Freshmen appreciated his efforts. Perhaps we will do the same for him some day. We did our stunts. Did we do them well, you now ask? We did them so well that if Mr. Guillow had taken the time of some of us runners when we raced around the track looking for our lost sh oes, he forthwith would have abolished physical culture as a sinful waste of time. Some of us never ran so fast in our lives before. Others ran faster than that. During the first part of October, a terrible epidemic seized several of the Freshmen. Frequently the sufferers raved about red paint , green paint , and class numerals . These cases became so serious finally that once, in the wee hours of the morning, the figures 1917 THE PICKOUT 1915 were distributed promiscuously upon the cliffs bordering the river. Several days later, these same paint-brush fiends passed around the hat. They secured money galore. The next morning brought another batch of Freshman numerals to light. That night the Sophs, with their usual vigor, had a consultation over the condition of the victims of the plague. Operation and macaroni was decided upon at once. The disease was stamped out from our midst. Lessons? Ah! We enjoyed them so much. Especially in the study of Mechanism did we become wrapped. So enthused did we become over this science that we dreamt about it — nightmares gen- erally. We became extremely original. One man found a new principle of science. Libbee discovered a way of forcing oxygen through water under diminished pressure . Chemists will be especially interested in this discovery. Finally our reports came home. For some they caused congratulations. For others they caused argument and much of it. The Flag-rush was finally agreed upon by the Sophs and us Fresh- men, after the Freshmen challenge, by the way. But even Mother Nature was in league against us. Snow and sleet, most unwelcome, fell on the day the event was to take place. The rush was postponed, rather indefinitely, as time showed. Despite the willingness of 1917, 1916 did not seem eager for the fray. Finally the notice, Flag-Rush Forfeited appeared on the bulletin board. Who forfeited the rush? The Freshmen certainly did not.

Alumni: — I received your clever bid To dine with you on the 20th, but regret I must rock the crib. You see although they had me among the dead and gone, I ' m very much alive since my two kids were born. To get on to the subject and tell you what I know, It ' s been very, very much the same as many years ago. When not busy with the kiddies, not to mention wifey too, I ' ve been selling cotton yarns, besides telling quite a few. Around this gay town with a visit here and there From some old Tex Alumnus, I ' ve tried to kill dull care. I ' m living out in Jersey, in a town called Arlington Where you ' ll always find the latch-string out and the sign of a warm welcome. It nearly broke my heart to decline your clever bid, But that ' s what you may expect when you start to raise a kid. So I ' ll think of you tonight, and a silent toast I ' ll drink To the good old days, and all you boys, of whom I often think. L ' Envoi (With apologies to R. K.) When Hennie ' s last toast is given and the glasses are drained and dried, And the youngest alumnus has faded, and the oldest ones have cried. May you all stand up together and give a lusty cheer For those of us who are dead and gone and those who were not there. L. T. S.

Why is it so little interest seems to be manifested in this seemingly important branch of school life? Does it not seem that we, by our lack of interest, are lowering the standard of the school in the public ' s eye? Would it hot be far better for Textile either to raise herself to the level of the smaller colleges, or abandon competitive athletics entirely? What ' s worth doing, is wort h doing well. Our Alma Mater, so high in scholarship standing, cannot afford to be represented by athletic teams of prep school calibre. In the fundamental make-up of almost any successful technical institution, we do not find that athletics occupy a very prominent place. It is an undisputed fact that men eager for a technical training have not the time to devote to serious conditioning and hard practice, and it is only by this continuous drilling that we can ever hope to be suc- cessful in athletics. Here at Textile, the football situation has ever been anything but satisfying. Whether from lack of spirit, or time, or system, or all three combined, it seems to be a difficult problem to turn out a football team which will be a credit to the school. It is not the material we lack, for we have as strong and capable men as almost any small college. It is in the ability to get our athletes out for practice for two hours each night of the week, that we fail. These conditions are not so well brought out in baseball as in football. At present, the baseball outlook is rather bright. Quite a large squad is reporting for practice and unusual interest is shown. It is hoped that this year ' s team will equal, if not surpass, the records made by teams in previous years. Doubtless many of us feel that the hours of physical training should be used to better advantage in the afternoon. It would certainly be a God-send to the athletic teams, as it would compel the Freshmen, while they are still new to the school, to help support their teams. Let us hope that in the near future some radical change like this is brought about and that our athletics are put on a firm winning basis. Ld 1 v3 AV 4Mrer£ Kenneth M. Simpson President Floyd W.

Lowell High School at Lowell. 100 Ilf Hpl C l ||«||,iM-iiiii.li. 1914 Football The call for candidates was issued as soon as school began. A monster mass meeting was held the second day of school for the purpose of getting as many men as possible for the team. Thanks to some very good remarks by Mr. Stewart, Cecil Dodge, and Farnie , a large number of men got the spirit and decided to come out and help the team. The next day the men reported for practice. For veterans there were Capt. Lane, Coleman, Dover, Andrews, Deady, Goodell, McGowan, O ' Connor, Sawyer, and O ' Brien, who all reported in good condition. These, with the new men, Hockmeyer, Macdonald, Sullivan, Peabody, Irvine, Darrin, Sanborn, Morrill, Farnsworth, Mitchell, Fuller, Libbee, and Powers, immediately set to work for the purpose of turning out a winning team. For a coach Cecil (Deac) Dodge, a former Dartmouth man, was secured. He was assisted by Jackson Palmer of Lowell. It must be said that these two men surely did work for the benefit of the team, and with a little more favor from Dame Fortune would have turned out a team that would have won the majority of its games. From the start the jinx seemed to be with us. In the first game of the year two of the best and most-needed men on the team were injured and put out of the game for the remainder of the season. These were O ' Brien and Coleman. Coleman was the star tackle and his absence made a vacancy which was hard to fill. O ' Brien was a punter of rare ability, and as the offense of the team was built around him, his absence caused a complete rearrangement of offensive play. Next came Roger Peabody, who was injured in the game at Cushing. He had been playing a slashing game at halfback, and his absence was also sorely felt. Ham Barnes was the next victim, and he was injured in the first game that he started. Til ton was the place. He suffered 101 THE PICKOUT 1915 a severe sprain in the ankle and had to take to crutches for some time afterwards. In addition to these injuries to the players themselves, Deac Dodge himself was injured in a train accident and could not come to practice for some time. However, all things considered, the team did very well. The objective game was the one with Lowell High. This the boys won by the score of 20 to 0, and all hands were satisfied. McGowan, Hockmeyer, and Lane started the season at end, and all worked for the benefit of the team at all times. McGowan proved to be one of the best ends ever developed at Textile, and although small in stature, he surely was there as an end. Macdonald and Deady made a pair of first-class tackles and stopped many a plunge through them. Goodell and Andrews at guards soon convinced the opposing teams that the centre of the line was as tight as a drum. Goodell did the punting after O ' Brien ' s injury, and he was some kicker too (both with his feet and mouth). Dover at centre, played his usual good game, but some of us seemed to think that he was incli ned to be lazy, especially in practice. Kid Powers of South Boston was the quarterback, and what he lacked in size he made up in speed and mouth. He kept the team on the jump all of the time and used his head to good advantage. For halfbacks, Peabody, Sawyer, Libbee, Baker, Sullivan, Berry, O ' Connon, and O ' Brien all had their try. Although light in weight, Huck Sawyer was without a doubt one of the pluckiest men on the squad. Baker must be given credit for his spirit. He came out in the middle of the season when the team was in need of halfbacks, and developed into a fast, rangy halfback. The other men on the squad all did their share for the team, some of them coming out to give the the regular team practice. This is the kind of spirit that makes a winning football team. The men reported for practice regularly, and all worked hard for the interest of the team. In conclusion it could be said that the football situation, as well as that of other branches of athletics in the school, is in a very poor condition. The reason seems to be lack of time. It seems that a school the size of the Lowell Textile School should be able to turn out teams to compare with some of the smaller colleges. There is no question that, if more time could be given to athletics, the school would surely 102 THE PICKOUT 1915 increase in standard, membership, and be more recognized by the public at large. Until more time is given to athletics, the school will continue to stand still, in its increase in size, popularity, and offerings to the sport-loving young American. Signed, Oliver F. Lane, Captain Groton 13; Textile Textile opened up the season with Groton at Groton, on October 10, having had only eight days ' practice. Groton won, 13 to 0, but had to play football from start to finish. The result of the game would have been different if O ' Brien had not been forced to retire at the beginning of the game. He was the one who did all the punting for Textile, and after he retired, an entirely different kind of game had to be resorted to. However, the boys all played good, hard foot- ball and their work encouraged the coaches very much. Goldie Coleman also received a painful injury to his knee. Roger Peabody at halfback played a great game. Six of Groton ' s points were scored by an emergency drop-kicker who entered the game simply to drop the ball over the bar, which he succeeded in doing, with disastrous results to Textile. The other score was made on straight football. St. John ' s 20; Textile 6 Textile journeyed to Dan vers on October 21, and played St. John ' s on a field covered with mud. Our boys seemed to be bothered more by the wet ball than by St. John ' s. The feature of the game was an 80-yard run by Hockmeyer, who recovered a fumble and ran the length of the field for a touchdown. St. John ' s scored on a series of line- plunges and forward passes. The work of Huck Sawyer at halfback was conspicuous in this game, he making several good tackles and playing the game all the time. Cushing Academy 31; Textile On October 31 Textile played Cushing and was defeated 31 to 0. Cushing scored all their touchdowns in the first half, and in the second half the Textile boys played their own even game. We were greatly outweighed by Cushing and were also at another disadvantage because of the absence of our coach, who was laid up and unable to make the trip. McGowan ' s work featured this game, the clever little end being in every play that was within his reach. 103 THE PICKOUT 1915 Tilton 27; Textile Tilton defeated us 27 to on November 7. The least said about this game the better. Tilton hypnotized our backfield men by their forward passes, every score being the result of a forward pass. The work of Andrews at guard was the feature. Ham Barnes at tackle also played a good game until forced to retire by an injury to his ankle. Textile 0; Lawrence Academy On November 21st Textile went to Groton and played Lawrence Academy a to tie. This was without doubt the best game of the season. In reality we won, as Mitchell scored a touchdown, but the referee declared that some one was holding, and the score did not count. Textile had a new backfield in this game, consisting of Baker, Libbee, and Lane, and all did their share in the good work. Baker played his first game and his work was excellent in all ways. McGowan and Hockmeyer also played well. The team was accompanied by some royal rooters, and special mention should be made of Dr. Putnam, who was the man on the spot with his little bag and also his large mouth. Textile 20; L. H. S. The big game of the year was with Lowell High on November 28. The game was played at Spaulding Park on a field of ice and mud. Textile won, 20 to 0. Neither team scored in the first half, but the playing was mostly in the High School ' s territory. In the second half Textile opened up and scored three touchdowns, and But Goodell kicked two goals from touchdowns. Harrington and Berry both played slashing games for Textile. Baker also played well. In fact, every man on the team worked to the limit. Reporter McGowan scored the three touchdowns on forward passes. On the defensive he also stopped everything around his end. Macdonald had the misfortune to break a rib in this game, which caused him to be laid up for a week. 104 Philip F. O ' Brien Kenneth M. Simpson Baseball, 19 1§ Philip F. O ' Brien Kenneth M.

With the nucleus of last year ' s team on hand and with the fine record of the latter as an incentive, the school should strive harder than ever to produce a team they can be proud of. To turn out a winning team here in L. T. S. demands not only many candidates for the team, but the support of the entire student body. This should be given in recognition of the work of the teams in past years, and their attempts to place themselves in a more advanced standing. In regard to the quality of baseball shown, it can be rightly maintained that it is far superior to that offered by most small colleges, and but little fault should be found in this respect. Therefore all stu- dents who do not play ball should make themselves conspicuous at each game, not by their absence, but by their presence. It is not gen- erally realized how encouraging it is for a team to be cheered on in this way by its supporters. Although shaken up somewhat by the losses of several players on last year ' s team, there seems to be on hand plenty of material to be developed, and with the proper coaching and handling, the new men should satisfactorily fill the empty places. At the present outlook the question of a catcher seems to stand out quite largely. None of the former catchers have returned, but we are fortunate in having several Freshman candidates, among whom are Gunning, Macdonald, and several others who have promised that they will report. From this material it seems as though one good backstop should be developed. In regard to pitchers, we are quite fortunate. Sturtevant, who did fine work last year, will be on hand, and also Goodell, a promising left-hander, Harris, a former Exeter player, and O ' Connor of Woburn High. With these promising twirlers in the box, we should be able to maintain the high quality of this department as in past years. Although at first the question of infielders might seem to be serious, it is in reality not so great a difficulty. Baker, who played first last year, should be able to hold down that sack if he can produce the same quality of playing. For second, third, and shortstop, there are the 107 THE PICKOUT 1915 regular subs of last year, who on different occasions showed their value not only as pinch hitters, but in handling the ball. Powers, Sjostrom, Deady, together with Capt. O ' Brien, who will attempt an infield berth this year, and the Freshman candidates, should easily fill the vacant places. This completes the infield, and it is to be hoped it develops into a fast, smooth-working combination before the end of many games. The outfield this year should be one of the strongest that ever played on a Lowell Textile School baseball team. With so many promising candidates, it will be a struggle for the survival of the fittest for the few vacant places. Davieau, who covered left field last year in a very satisfactory manner, should be right there strong, while Sturtevant, owing to his ability to hit, will usually be found in centre when he isn ' t twirling. This leaves but one vacant position, and the player who quali- fies for that will have to possess the ability shown by his fellow infielders. This gives but a hazy outline of the baseball team for the coming year, but even this shows that we have every encouragement to start work to produce a winning team. The schedule undoubtedly is one of the best and hardest ever obtained in the history of the school. This is due wholly to the untiring efforts of Manager Simpson, who has striven in every way to arrange a hard, yet suitable list of games, doing so by the eliminating of many minor teams. We have been fortunate enough to secure again the services of Johnson, as coach, and with his record here in the last two years nothing need be said in this respect. So then, it is up to you fellows to turn out and help in every way you can to make the year of 1915 a banner one in baseball at the Lowell Textile School. 108 Coach Johnson Deady Casey Mgr.

Of the old men present were Captain Brickett, Lawson, O ' Brien, and Carlson. Among the men who re- ported, and made good, were Sjostrom, Davieau, Baker, Mehlman, Deady, Powers, Summersby, and Sturtevant. Bill Casey was not able to report until late on account of a bad finger. Coach Johnson tried out the battery candidates and the infield candidates to see the worth of each. During the last week of March we were able to go out on the campus and start real work. Baker filled in the large gap at first and by his great batting strengthened the defense. Sjostrom and Summersby took care of second and both did good work. Shortstop and third base were taken care of by Lawson 110 THE PICKOUT 1915 and Carlson, who did much for old Textile. Davieau looked after left- field, and Brickett and Sturtevant took charge of centre when they were not pitching. O ' Brien was stationed in right. Our catching was done by Casey and Mehlman. Casey starred in blocking runners and gathering in high fouls, while Mehlman used the bat to good advantage. Our Coach Coach A. K. Johnson, who was here last year, produced a strong team, considering the material and time he had. Mr. Johnson has earned a great name as coach. He has coached the Haverhill High for two years, during which time they lost only two games each year. Johnson in his day was an excellent ball player. He played with the Haverhill New England League team and with the Lewiston team. He later signed up with Cleveland of the American League. He also pitched for Exeter for three years. Johnson has a way of pleasing the players, and at the same time getting them to play hard for a win. Cambridge Latin 1; Textile 7 The opening game of the season was played on the campus, April 7, with Cambridge Latin. A strong wind was blowing across the campus, which made much trouble for both teams. The result of the game was never in doubt, as both Brickett and Sturtevant never allowed the visitors to become dangerous. The Cambridge Latin team was unable to connect for one safe hit during the nine innings. The game was won in the fourth when Textile pushed five runs across. The last part of the contest was long-drawn-out, owing to the poor fielding game of the visitors. Malden H. S. 5; Textile 11 Maiden High was defeated on the school campus on April 8, by the score of 11 to 5. The game was played in a heavy mist, which made the participants less active and snappy. Maiden started with a rush, obtaining two well-placed hits through the infield in the first inning, After this the visitors were unable to tally until the latter part of the game. For Maiden Reid and Murphy excelled, and for Textile Brickett, Carlson, and O ' Brien. Worcester Tech 15; Textile 9 On April 11 the team journeyed to Worcester to meet Worcester Technical. The day was cold, and a strong, raw wind was blowing ill THE PICKOUT 1915 across the field. Although our team made a poor start, it must be given credit for the fight it showed throughout the contest. Unfortunately the game was marked by ill-feeling between the players and by wretched umpiring. Groton 0; Textile 3 Our team went to Groton on April 15 and defeated the Groton School, 3 to 0. Both teams played good ball, and the three runs gathered in by the Textile team were well earned. Sturtevant pitched good ball throughout and was never in danger. St. Anselm ' s 3; Textile 5 The fast St. Anselm ' s College team met defeat at the hands of our team on the campus April 22, by the score of 5 to 3. The game was a close contest and full of s nappy plays and exciting moments. St. Anselm ' s scored two runs in the opening inning on errors by the Textile team. Textile began coming in the sixth when Davieau and Baker made the rounds. In the eighth, Textile scored three more runs. With one down, Mehlman singled and went to third on Brickett ' s hit. O ' Brien hit to right, scoring Mehlman and placing Brickett on third. Sturtevant was there and placed a single to centre, scoring both his teammates. Credit must be given to Sturtevant and Wallace for their consistent pitching. Tilton 1; Textile 6 Our team defeated Tilton Seminary at Tilton, N. H., on April 25. The weather was all that could be desired for fast baseball and several fine plays were made on both sides. Textile practically won the game in the sixth inning, in which the Lowell boys chalked up five of their six runs. The first run for Textile came in the third when Sjostrom hit safely, stole second and then came home on Davieau ' s single. Textile scored five in the sixth on singles by Lawson, Baker, Casey, and O ' Brien, and Sturtevant ' s triple to deep centre. Baker featured at first with his diving catch of Fallon ' s liner. Sjostrom and Davieau also played good ball. Cushing 7; Textile 6 Cushing took a loosely-played game away from Textile at Ash- burnham on May 2. Both teams played poor ball and made the game uninteresting. Cushing finally won out in the tenth inning, when they pushed a score around. 112 THE PICKOUT 1915 Boston High School of Commerce 5; Textile 11 Boston H. S. of C. was easily defeated on the campus on May 6. Textile started with a rush when they got five runs from six hits. With this lead Sturtevant took things easy. The batting of Brickett and the fielding of Baker featured. Lawrence Academy 16; Textile 1 Lawrence Academy came to Lowell on May 8 and caught our team in a bad slump. Our team played poor ball in the field, and at bat were able to gather only three hits off Murry. Lawrence x cademy were presented with one-half of their runs on our errors. St. John ' s 0; Textile 9 With the defeat by Lawrence Academy fresh in our minds the team went to Danvers on May 9 and shut out the fast St. John ' s team 9 to 0. Our team showed a decided improvement both at bat and in the field. Brickett pitched gilt-edge ball and never was in danger. The batting of Baker and the catching of Casey were the features for Textile. Dean 9; Textile The Dean game was transferred from Franklin to Lowell at the request of the Dean manager. Dean presented their usual strong line-up and had little trouble in getting away with the game. Sturtevant pitched good ball and with any kind of support would have given Dean a harder time. Kean and Fitzgibbons featured for Dean, the latter getting a homer. Rindge 3; Textile 8 Rindge was easily defeated on the campus by the score of 8 to 3. Rindge never had a chance, as Textile scored four runs in the opening inning. With this lead, Textile used many subs, who showed up to good advantage. Baker and Brickett played first-class ball for Textile. M. I. T. ' 16 1; Textile 3 The last game of the season took place on the campus on May 18, with M. I. T. ' 16 as our opponents. The game was slow and long- drawn-out, as the strain of the hard season which the boys had just gone through began to show. 113 Thomas Harrington Wesley D Coleman Hocfcep © fifteen Thomas Harrington Wesley D.

It will be noticed that at the end of the task each year ' s editor always says, Never again , and many might wonder why such a phrase is used. To those who are not directly connected with the publishing of the book such a phrase might sound strange, for they do not have the slightest conception of what it means to put forth on the market a stable product, one which will not die, but will be ever sought for each year. But those on the board, and especially does this refer to the editor and the business manager, know the long hours of hard work spent in writing articles, rewriting, and perfecting these articles so that they may pass censorship, and become a part of the book. This simply gives an idea of the amount of time and labor given for the perfection of the book. We come now to the most important part of this article, which has to do with the material furnished for The Pickout. The spirit shown in supplying this chosen material has always been poor. It has taken most of the editor ' s time to run around among the members of his board, and the other students of the school inquiring if they have anything written for the book. In most cases he is found doing this nearly the entire school year. It is safe to say that the entire work of the book is from about fifteen men in the whole school, which indi- cates that out of the student body only 10% do any work at all, and in some cases a part of this has to be rejected. 123 THE PICKOUT 1915 An idea has originated this year, which, if carried out, would furnish ample material for the editor to work with, and thus do away with much of the excessive work now necessary by the board. Let each man in the institution some time during the year, the earlier the better, hand in one article of any nature as long as it pertains to the school. Then if the idea it contains is any good or can be worked over, he will have the pleasure of seeing it placed in the year-book. This does not take much time; it is simply a question of putting forth a very little effort. We are an institution of note in the world to-day, and we want to place before the world a book of as high a standard as is represented in the school itself. Thus this little idea carried out, would decrease the work of the editor, and the board, increase the size and standard of the book, and finally, cause a spirit to be shown which is now very much buried. €f)e institution If we retrospect for a moment, we shall see that Lowell Textile School is still in its infancy, but at the same time it has grown from a purely practical school to an institution which gives to its graduates a technical education of the highest standard. Perhaps the actual number of students in the school to-day is smaller than a few years back, but we are proud to say that this is a good omen of high standard, which denotes that it takes a man of brains and reasoning powers to pass out through its doors as a graduate; and the weaker ones fall by the wayside, a great many times not from the lack of these mental qualities, but from a lack of ambition and willingness to buckle down , and study. Three years ago the school added two new courses to the five it already had, they being a four-year course in Textile Engineering and a four-year course in Textile Chemistry. At the completion of the studies prescribed in these two courses, degrees are granted which signify that the men obtaining these degrees are quite proficient in their particular science. There never was and never will be a time when the science of dyestuff manufacture is more needed than now, and it will be noticed that this institution is the only one in America which is instructing its chemistry degree men in the principles involved. During the second term of the third year the students prepare twenty-five organic com- 124 THE PICKOUT 1915 pounds, while during the fourth year they make twenty-five dyestuffs. Should it not be right for the manufacturers in the textile business to encourage and help a good thing along, and when asked about the subject, not to say, We don ' t know , but to say, Yes, it is a capital idea, and we are in favor of the Legislature ' s appropriating $10,000 for the construction of a proper laboratory and equipping it with the apparatus desired ' ' ? Of course, the dyestuffs are made here only on a small scale, but still the principles are there, and all great things of importance are started in a small and humble way. It is therefore hoped that we may see attention given to the school in this matter and a proper organic laboratory constructed, thus giving the students of Lowell Textile School much greater advantages along the line they have already started to pursue. From the experience of certain students who, for the past three years, have been observing conditions under which the student labors, it has been proven to their satisfaction that there is room for improvement in regard to the system of note-taking. While it is the custom in all colleges for students to take notes, there are great disadvantages in the custom. A student of ordinary ability cannot take notes rapidly and at the same time reason out each step. There are certain subjects which call forth, to a large extent, the use of the student ' s powers of reasoning. This cannot be done when his attention is occupied in getting onto the paper the ideas advanced by the instructor. Therefore, if a proper set of notes is to be gotten, it will be impossible for the student to get it and to under- stand each step or phase of the topic under discussion in the lecture, without the instructor having to repeat himself many times. Thus, the amount of ground which can be covered is less, or, the subject will be to the student as so many notes without meaning. In the most cases, notes taken in class must be recopied before they can be in such shape as to be used by the student in after years. To do this, would require at least twelve hours every week, and according to the experiences of many, this would become mechanical and a grind, rather than a development. Again, the student is required to do home work which takes from eight to twelve hours each week. In the event that he carries ten subjects, what time is left to recapitulate, — to collect his thoughts and really know what he is learning? As a matter 125 THE PICKOUT 1915 of fact, no student would nor could spend twenty-four hours in each week for home study. Thus, as a result, either the notes or home problems and reading are neglected — as a rule, the notes. But supposing that he did take the time to recopy and study them, doubtless he would possess a good set of notes and their contents would be impressed upon his mind, thus accomplishing the purpose — but the method certainly would be very inefficient. As fault-finding without a remedy is foolhardy, let the following go down as a mere suggestion to remedy the situation: — That in each subject a full set of notes be gotten up and printed or put into some convenient form, with space left for additional remarks. That the student be obliged to purchase these notes and bring them to each class. In each lecture, as the subject matter is discussed, the student could concentrate his mind on what the instructor is saying, without his attention being detracted to put the ideas down on paper. This will allow more time for discussion of difficult points and will permit the instructor to cover more ground, and that more thoroughly. Time will be available also for recitations, which are admitted by all to be of value. There are then these advantages: — 1. The students ' powers of reasoning will be developed. 2. More ground can be covered and that more thoroughly. 3. Time will be available for recitations. 4. More problem work could be given for home study, to occupy the time saved by not having to recopy notes. 5. When the subject was completed, the student would have a complete set of notes. It is admitted that the tendency for a student to cut classes might be increased — but this could be regulated by affixing more severe penalties for such acts. He may abuse the system now in vogue, and when he leaves the school, he will have nothing but a few memories. On the other hand, he may abuse the proposed system, and when he leaves school, he will, have a fine set of notes, which, if he has any initiative at all, will be a wonderful help to him. From the foregoing it must be understood that the object of the plan is not to get out of doing the work , but rather to attain the objects as stated above, and — without bearing malice toward any of the faculty, — to endeavor to improve the conditions under which the student labors. 126 tream Bap The day dawned dark and gloomy. That sounds melodramatic, but it is exactly what happened. At five o ' clock, Huck Sawyer jumped out of bed, cussed himself for over-sleeping, cast his weather eye without (regular stuff) and sighed. The weather seemed to have played a rather low trick on Upstreamers. Sooner or later (mostly very much later) other Sons of Textile arose, blessed the weather man, and despondently got ready, — in case the bunch did go . Upstream stock was very low. A much-worried Committee hastily got together and by dint of great persuasion kept a despairing but persistent crowd indulging in a little big-league baseball practice in front of the school. Meanwhile these powers-that-be on Upstream Day impatiently waited to see whether the powers-that-are every old day would order a rain or a shine as the setting for May 12. After playing hide and seek with a few slight showers, at 9:15 the crowd called the bluff that was being put over them (get it?) and sardined themselves into a Bay State car several sizes too small. A worried-looking conductor (his fears were justified later) gave two bells, and our pirate ship, with a huge Textile banner for an ensign, clanged noisily down Merrimack Street to the Square. There we halted while the Bay State officials decided which of the many tracks our car was to follow, and the Sunday School picnickers rent large holes in the atmosphere with much song and cheering. In between rents they started a lasting job of making life miserable for the very harmless conductor. After we finally started on our way rejoicing, we made few stops, whizzing with startling speed through the beautiful suburbs of Lowell toward our Mecca (meaning Tyngsboro). One very important stop was made, however, — to crowd in an impressive twenty -piece band from the county training school. From there we sped to the end of the line, regaled with lots of courageous, although rather jostled music. The usual thirteen miles of heavy rope was produced as soon as we got off the car, and a huge snake-line, armed with bats, cameras, ginger ale, and tobacco wound up the hill and down to the Martin Luther camp. By this time we had forgotten about such a thing as 127 THE PICKOUT 1915 weather, and, thirsting for action, the Freshies and Sophs wound up the band, and started a ferocious baseball game. It was destined to be only a young one because, in the sixth inning, with the Sophs at bat and three on bases, the Freshmen got cold feet and bribed Freddy Abbott to give the call for dinner. Lust for glory on the diamond was forgotten in a frenzied rush for eats. Some eats. They get better every year. Some time later, after everyone had eaten enough to tie himself up in knots ordinarily, and had showered his favorite instructor with whatever spare cake, ice cream, and other love tokens he could grab, the instructors got peevish and decided to get revenge in that Upstream classic — ■ Instructors vs. Seniors, in a decision fight at the national game. The Seniors threatened to swamp their opponents in the early innings, but superior intellect prevailed and the instructors chalked up an 8 to 7 victory, greatly assisted by their star battery, Lupe and Lester , and that sterling third baseman, Walter Holt. The Engineers and Chemists were about to settle an old dispute as to supremacy by a third contest on the over- worked diamond, when old Pluvius (you know the gent I mean) demonstrated that he was decidedly there as a come-back artist, dampening the players ' ardor with a well-directed shower. The crowd speedily clambered into the Club House, and converted a perfectly respectable outfit into a cordial gambling den. Anything went from Crap to 5 and 10 . The place looked like an anti-Billy Sunday meeting from then on until supper. We had more music with our meal, and a band of con- federates rendered a little close agony. The closing number must have pleased old J. Pluvius, for having issued sufficient respect in all of us, what was left of the sun came out, and the band played Annie Laurie . With sudden impulse, every one grabbed whatever was nearest him (his own junk or otherwise) and beat it happily but limpingly ' cross lots to Tyngsboro and the private car. An hour later a very ambitionless gang dropped off one by one after a final volley of song, and noise rather weak, with a unanimous vote — Success . 128 Cejrttie §?f)oto Committee H. V. Farnsworth J.

Much credit is due to Bill Goodale and the cast for their hard work to make this show a success. It consisted of a one-act musical comedy, entitled Something for Nothing, and was written and produced by William Pierce Good- ale, ' 12. The show was a great success socially, and although not as great a success financially as was hoped, it certainly overcame the bad im- pression gained by the public from the shows of the past two years, and laid the foundation for a huge success next year, both financially and socially. Dancing followed the show until twelve o ' clock. The music was by Hibbard ' s Orchestra. The cast was as follows: — OTTO SCHMULTZ, a correspondence school detective Wm. R.

One day in good faith I bought this book, So I could pass, by hook or crook, A subject taught by Herby Ball In which I can see no sense at all. I ' ve tried to concentrate my brain, But all my trials have been in vain. I pick it up, then lay it down ; And always have to glance around, To see how those who are more weak Can stand the stuff for twice a week. I think the damn stuff is no good, So with these few words I close the book. 134 THE PICKOUT 19 15 Hark, ye wearers of the T! ! Dost thee not know That a moment ago Thy chances were in jeopardy? But Tom saved the day — In his own quiet way — Brought his shoes back And returned them intact. For further information Ask Tom , Put , or Stew - But don ' t get them together Or trouble will brew. We always have a high old time, When Sleeper is our Boss , To tell the truth his lab. ' s the cart, And Rah! Rah! is our horse. To make the time slip sweetly by, And to keep the Railroad going, We oft sing loud, no tune you know, Just to have something doing. Now all this pleases Robert S. It ' s his one big delight. But still he says we all must stop, When he comes into sight. 135 THE PICKOUT 1915 But once when he ' d requested, That our funeral march should cease, Someone ' s foot just naturally slipped, And they recommenced the piece. R. R. believes in order, We all his biddings do, So when he heard that echo, Believe me, he just flew. His den he left with one grand jump, He spilled his office chair, He ran, he snapped his fingers, Up straight now stood his hair. He reached the songster, white with rage, And ordered once for all That these high class selections, Be omitted from the ball. This caused a general Haw-haw, That Robert thought was shocking, And to this day he still does think That the boys were rudely mocking. Still, Bob let it go at that, And went back to his den, Only to come out once more When the chant commenced again. This time he was so mad, That words can ' t fit his rage. The language that he tried to use We omit quite from the page. If that class had been but our ' 15, No doubt there ' d been more noise, But as ' twas us, he called the roll, Gee! Uncle Bob does love us boys. 136 THE PICKOTJT 1915 3Srabe ©helitaf) Out in Nevada, far in the West, There is a fine burg that is called Wearavest; The men all wear one. The women wear two, They aU wear fine vests that are red, green, and blue. Now brave Obediah, a son of the West, Had alwavs admired his father ' s red vest: Said he to his pop : I know what I ' ll do, I ' ll learn to make vests that are red, green and blue. So what does he do, but prepare to go East, Brave Obediah, whose hopes were like yeast; He left Wearavest, With a heart that beat true, Wearing a vest that was red, green and blue. Our brave Obediah reached Lowell one day, Dressed in his vest; ' twas so brilliant and gay, He told Mr. Eames, As I tell it to you. How he had come East to dye vests red and blue. Now brave Obediah, who hailed from the West, Was in the Chem. Lab., dyeing red vests; When all of a sudden There was a loud Whoof ! And all one could see was a hole in the roof. Poor Obediah, a son of the West, Never came back to dye more red vests; He went far away, (This story is true). But he never did learn how to dye green vests blue. 137 THE PICKOUT 1915 Cum of poor Pauline I ' m as worried as can be, ' Bout the Textile School, you see, Have an awful mystery, Charlie and his perils; All year long they frighten you, You look thin when you get through, And you don ' t know what to do, till you have a show, And then is when we rub it in, it seems, I ' ll tell you well of the perils of our Eames : Poor Charlie, I pity Charlie Eames, He has to pay for rubber soles, To help him peek through the keyholes, To try and catch poor Textile souls, He works something awful. Then he ' ll call you in to question you, And then he has to play the third degree , Then at last he says, I ' ll set you free, Cranks his auto, gone you see, Back to Billerica, Oh, gee! Poor Char-lie. Poor Cushing, we pity poor Lester, He teaches French and German too, That is why the air is blue, In dear old number sixty -two, It is something awful. Then he gives Industrial History And that is just a Chinese Mystery; When we ask him who discovered us, He says, Mr. Columbus. Right from old Harvard to us, Poor Cushing. Poor Loup-ien, I pity poor old Loup, All day and night does poor Loup work, Never have we seen him shirk; 138 THE PICKOUT 1915 He built the boiler-house for Perk, He works something awful. He needs no slide rule for two plus three, His marks shock you in el-ect-tric-ee-tee, In the Textile School no one like he, Works at night till ten-thirty, Up in the morning, At three! Poor old Loup. Poor Arthur, we pity poor Stewart. He teaches us our Finishing, He can do most everything, He ' s busy from the fall to spring. He works something awful, He ' s the big noise in our T. A. A. He tries to make our Athletics pay. And he ' s always looking for one thing, That is Something for Nothing , He ' s always working, sure thing, Poor Stewart. Poor Steve Smith, I pity poor old Steve, His cotton mule kicks hard all day, Methuen ' s where he hits the hay. He eats at the Y. M. C. A. Buy a bale of Cotton. He will tell you that you should not sin, And then he goes and hits the cotton gin, On the board he writes with his left hand, Problems you can ' t understand, Back to Methuen, he ' ll land! Poor old Steve. Poor Herbie, I pity Herbie Ball, His mind is full of cams and things, He seldom smiles and never sings, He never held a pair of Kings, for he ' s some religious; Herbie ' s auto made his senses numb, I think he bought it from some museum, 139 THE PICKOUT 1915 When the auto breaks Herbie will get Out and read the Police Gazette, Then he will fix it, you bet! Poor Herbie. Poor Barker, I pity poor Eddie, ' Bout wool there ' s little he don ' t know. He always takes in every show, He ' ll always get in the front row, Down to Charley Waldron ' s, Eddie cut the high cost of living, He ' ll buy a cromo and think he is a king, Just one look at him, you ' ll see he saves, Never pays for any shaves, Back to the Barber, Be-have ! Poor Eddie. Poor Olney. I pity Pre-fes-ser, He sells you books on Chemistry, For two dollars and often three, You wonder what your end will be, The expense is awful, Then he charges you for stuff you break, Until your bank gets an awful shake, And from fall till spring he gets your kale, Even teaches through the mail, Back to old Lehigh, or Jail! Poor Olney. Poor Wilcox. I pity poor old Bill, For he ' s our janitor, you see, Runs a lunch for you and me, That causes lots of misery, It is something awful. I have solved the greatest mystery, Of where he gets all his supplies, you see, Now you know that he sweeps all around, Takes everything he has found, Back to the lunch room, all sound ! Poor old Bill. 140 THE PICKOUT 1915 (Eauaes anti effects Once every week, Professor Stoddard Calls the roll to Sophomores brave And asks the class all sorts of questions On the lectures that he gave. The answers that they give him, Though they seem to be all right, Cause the class oft much enjoyment, For they applaud with all their might. Just to give you an example And show how bright they are, Let us quote from — Oh, Sandie Richmond, Nineteen-fifteen ' s only star. Now according to our Sandie , All petroleum was made From dead fish and water At a very early age. The laugh was all on Sandie , But still not long ago A first-class O. K. Senior Claimed the same old theory so. You ' d almost think a Senior right, But our Herr Professor quotes That fish does not combine with water, And likewise read Karl ' s notes. To doze in dear Organic Is a very common way To escape those thrilling lectures And sweetly pass the day. 141 THE PICKOUT 19 15 One world-wise Sophomore did it once With very much perfection, But the seat he chose on that one day Showed very poor selection. Upon the board was being made A compound rare and queer, When the talk of the sleeping Soph Attracted every ear. Those intermittent mumblings Caused such a scream just then That the Herr Professor had to cease, And he never began again. Still wonderful lectures and wonderful ways And uses of soft coal tar Cause many a man to pause and — Worry about the war . THE PICKOUT 1915 When we have nothing else to do, We often go to Quant; Up there the course is easy, You do just what you want. Go slow and see the country Is our motto when up there; That ' s why there are large windows To show the scenery fair. Bertie Brann is our professor, And Bertie is all right; He don ' t believe in calling roll, So we quit at 4 each night. Once, to get insurance, Our Julius had a conflagration; If you ' ve got to know what that is, Just use your imagination. Now when all the arson happened, It chanced that Bert was out; And Julius did but cry out, Fire! Then we all began to shout. Our cry of Fire traveled far And Bertrand soon appeared; He looked right straight at Julius, And Julie knew that he was queered. Get sand! The sand baths! ordered he, And now, may I lose a hand, If Julius wasn ' t the very first To come back with the sand. 143 THE PICKOUT 19 15 Once again when Bert was absent, H20 was going around, And under clever guidance It did not all get to the ground. Now as I said before, Prof. Bertie wasn ' t there, But by Desperate Desmond sleuth-work He rounded up the guilty pair. But through his great benevolence, The pair at last were free, And now in all defugalties They let the water be. So pass our days with Mr. Brann. Of course there is some noise, But on the whole you must admit That Bertie loves the boys. s 144 m instructors First comes Olney, for you see, He lectures on Textile Chemistry, And many notes must we take Or his remarks will make us shake. Father Stoddard ' s next in line, The man who says you ' re doing fine, Yet when the marks are all put through, You find out he was kidding you. Now, Stoddard ' s got a girl, they say, We think she lives down Boston way, She ' s a nurse, so it goes, Well, Stoddard, she ought to know. Birdie Brann ' s the best bet yet, You know he calls us Birdie ' s pets ; If we want to pass his stuff, We call him names and get real rough. Brann has a girl in Winchester, Mass., If he ' s successful, we ' ll all pass, But if his luck is bad any day, Mohawk Brann is on the trail right away. Bobby Sleeper, that ' s the boy, Causes lots of gloom, but little joy, Rough methods with him don ' t go very well, He ' s liable to send you straight to . They tell us Bobb ' s funny out of school, Smokes cigarettes, acts like a mule, Yet if we start to rough it up, Watch Sleeper get mad as a pup. Richardson, Oh, who is he? Sleeper ' s janitor, say we, Follows Bobby right around And keeps the walls and posts all sound. 145 JOKE, We notice that Bill Wilcox is able to buy a new Ford almost every year, while Perk hasn ' t even had his washed. We wonder who has the better job? We wonder why Perk doesn ' t hire some student assistant to give his lectures for him? Eddie has a little Lamb, It ' s fleece is white as snow, And everywhere that Eddie goes, You see it beneath his nose. P. S. — We have just discovered that it is not a lamb but a goatee. When you flunk, we note that the T ' s automatically drop out from TEXTILE. An L is bad, An F is worse, So use your brains For Safety First. NEWS FROM THE REAR It is rumored that a certain instructor of weaving had his class broken up recently owing to excessive escaping of hot air from the floor below. As this phemonenon had never occurred before, there was much speculation as to the source of trouble. Was it a leaking valve, or merely a lecture? If it were the latter, although the words were not audible, the aroma was much in evidence. 146 THE PICKOUT 1915 W ANTED — A TITLE I didn ' t raise my boy to be a Special, I wanted him to be an Engineer Who dares to take away from him the T square And show him that a Cutter knows no fear. Let Charlie argue on about diplomas, It ' s really time to lay such bull away, For there ' d be no school to-day If mothers all would say, I didn ' t raise my boy to be a Special. The one selecting the best title for this will receive a prize costing not less than ten dollars, suitable for all sexes. This contest open to the public. All titles must be plainly written on a white lined composition paper, 12 x 15, and the number of words allowed not under one or over eight. Telephone all such titles to G. A. M., Telephone 8665-W, Lowell, Mass. P. S. — Tcjne — 7 didn ' t raise my boy to he a stldier. WELL INSTRUCTED Freshman (to a well-known instructor in the weaving department) : — How does the power loom shuttle know which way to go? Instructor: — Why, my son, it is taught in its infancy, as you are taught in your freshman year on the hand looms ?() Heard in Economics class : Prof. Cushing, in discussing the purpose of a union, claims that organized labor increases the standard of loving (living). A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind. NOT KNOCKING, BUT — Barker:— Hello, Goodell! Goodell:— Hello, Mr. Barker. Barker: — I haven ' t seen you up in wool lately. Goodell: — Oh, do you still run that wool course? The card cylinder, as you have all noticed in the laboratory, is not unlike this in its essential parts. Note — Eddy then makes a lightning sketch on the board. 147 THE PICKOUT 1915 CAUGHT IN THE NET O ' Brien is running a Mill(s). Sjostrom is spending a few nights in the Lowell Jail. Peabody ' s neck boiled over. Molloy got excited when Eddie talked on six biers. Powers tried to mercerize his tongue. Brearley attempted to blow up the Laboratory with Brearlite, his new explosive. Baker has learned to smoke. Tyler is training to be a second story man (by jumping the fences after batted balls). Harvey Woods loves the ladies. Colby acted very natural in the Textile Show. Rowell is some lady-killer. Smith thinks school starts Wednesday and ends Friday. Macdonald is some goal-tender. Sawyer tests for bromide by pouring it out on his hand. Merrill ' s open-air singing is fine. Wendell P. Harvey sailed for England on hearing that there were so many marriageable girls owing to the war. Doc Evans is now a Freeman . Stubby Milot hasn ' t grown a bit this year. In cost accounting he tries to keep his figure(s) small. Butler Goodell became very much interested in some of the more complicated machinery in the Bigelow Carpet Company ' s mill. The Chemists ' Glee Club disbanded. Billings never swears, but he knows all the words. Park has sneeziteous. George Shea is a busy man; he never has the time . Gunning was admitted to the bar, and is now a practicing attorney in Lowell. Ashworth makes a good chambermaid, (ask Fuller and Powers). Birdie Brann got a decision on Deady. Fuller and Baker are taking up cigarette-rolling in the roof -garden class-room. Albrecht ought to be in the trenches. Perlman comes from Muscoirte. Gunning, the star catcher, hasn ' t dropped a ball yet. 148 THE PICKOUT 1915 WHAT I HAVE DONE THE MOST Invented Adams Got By (?)

Perlman — Any kind but Perfections. Neyman — Goes into a store and buys a box of Perfections. Neyman — Have by me a cigarette, Sam. Take a lot. Take one. Why, I know of a certain mill not more than a score of miles from here, which runs 172 hours each week. — Eddy s I ' d like to get into an argument with that guy. I ' d knock his head off. — Echmal What is Eddy ' s idea of a good time? Ask Shorty. (Eavesdropping in Mill Engineering Room). Every other day — Have you heard this one on the Ford ?

How Molloy felt during the latter part of the Lowell High game (ask him) ? Why Peabody wore pads for the football picture? What Joe thinks of second-year Chemists? Why Perk does not buy an auto? How Eddie feels when he rides in Perk ' s Ford? (We know how he looks, and judging from that ) Why Sanborn likes Perk ' s classes so well? Why Milot takes in all the movies? Why no fellow walks to or from school with the co-ed in the Chem- istry Department? How Simpson feels after a shave? How Count and Bull can carry canes on 30c per? Why Herbie never smiles? Why Ed Rich is expanding around his waist-line? Why Lamp and Tom escape through a window before an organic laboratory lecture? Why Zia, Cox and Byers do not form an old men ' s club? Why Walter spends so much time in the library? Why Mitchell has boils? — High Cost of Loving. How Bobby gets all his cigars? Why Jinx loves to get all the mail from the office? Why O ' Brien likes a Mill(s)? THE FOURTH YEAR CHEMISTS ' An ' Louie said we might not get any ' Cije jfat Cijemist of 19X7 Freshman? — Down to the Students ' Room with you! Such was the entrance greeting to one Pal Moore, the Fat Chemist of 1917 . A few moments later, the Freshmen rushed frantically around the cinder track in stocking feet — and Pal galloped after, with graceful stride (?) and beautiful form (??): but, alas! the unappreciating eyes of the Sophs saw not the perfect Apollo, but only a most perfect and desirable target for their relentless clubs. The Pride of the South Lawrence Harps trundled onward in blissful ignorance of his fate, until a stinging, hearty and most soul-satisfying WHACK from the rear brought back to him the reality and misery of a Freshman ' s entrance welcome. This sudden injury to Pal ' s dignity and vanity caused him to suddenly charge and buck so furiously that any unlucky Soph in his path was soon prostrate. When his anger was spent, Pal meekly sorted out his shoes from the pile and entered the school as a Freshman. An afternoon with Pal in the Lab. is worth two at Keith ' s. Between trying to rescue spilled unknowns from the sink, and 153 THE PICKOUT 1915 heaping maledictions on beakers, and breakable glass in general, the Fat Chemist finds time to spring a few jokes of the following nature: If the earbon-ate the iron, would the laboratory sink? The rooster was crowing, so the hen asked ' Why do you chromate (crow, mate)? ' Ever seen Ethyl (Ethel) Hydrazine? No, but I ' ve seen Magazine (Maggy Zine). On his first acquaintance with the hydrogen sulphide generator, Pal breathed too deeply of the fragrant odors, and was later found half out the window, gasping for breath and vowing that every particle of metal in his system had been precipitated as a sulphide. An unknown person once poured some strong ammonia into Pal ' s coat pocket. His eyes began to fill with tears and his face looked as if he had lost every friend he ever had. It was not until he had corked tightly all the bottles in the vicinity, flushed the sink, turned his beakers and test-tubes upside-down, and opened the window, that he put his hand in his pocket and found the source of all his discomfort. Even at that, Pal affirms that putting his hand into ammonia is less nerve-trying than having his finger clutched by a warm and furry mouse on putting his hand into his overcoat pocket. As a hustling commuter, Pal never fails to interest the citizens of Lowell, as he gallops madly toward the station for the 5:15. At 14.9 minutes past five, with bag surging and coat-tails flying, he plunges through the traffic and after the departing train. He once maintained that he could catch any train leaving the Lowell station. A few days later, his powers were put to a severe test, but for some reason or other, (exact reason not definitely known) the train continued to gain on Pal until he was left hopelessly in the rear. The last the observers on the rear platform saw of him, he had dropped his bag and was sitting on it in deep gloom and disgust. You can fool all of the instructors some of the time, You can fool some of the instructors all of the time, But you can ' t fool Charlie. 154 For the benefit of the entering class we again publish this article.

It was an enthusiastic and successful smoker in every way, a large number of the nearby Alumni being present. President Hennigan of the graduates gave a short speech of welcome to the Freshmen, which was enjoyed by all. President Cumnock of the school gave a short, interesting talk on his tour abroad in the war zone. Principal Eames gave a short address, and mentioned the different events taking place at the school each year, and upon what their successes depend. Mr. Varnum, an alumnus, was called upon to tell a few short stories, which he did willing- ly, and which caused laughter and hand applause by all. Later in the evening light refreshments were served, followed by music and singing, which fittingly contributed to the success of the occasion. 157 arfmotoietigment ■P HE EDITOR takes this opportunity to express his deep appre- VI, eiation of the work of all those who have assisted in the publica- tion of this tenth volume of the Pickout: to Mr. Eames and Mr. Stewart for their invaluable suggestions and moral support; to Miss Lancey and Walter B.

PICKOUT ADVERTISEMENTS WYANDOTTE TEXTILE SODA AND WYANDOTTE CONCENTRATED ASH As there are different kinds of manufactured cottons designed for as many uses, so there are different alkalies, and of widely varying properties. Should you ask where and why you should use Wyandotte Con- centrated Ash, our reply would be, Use it in the kier. Half the quantity of Wyandotte Concentrated Ash that you now use of corrosive alkalies will do all that they will do, and in addition the goods come out stronger and softer. But this is not all, for these results are obtained at a greatly reduced price over former costs. Another use for Wyandotte Concentrated Ash is its superiority in developed blacks. Here it insures a deep blue black shade. In fact, this same betterment is obtained for all uses where you are accustomed to use soda ash. Wyandotte Textile Soda is also an alkali, but it differs in properties and uses from Wyandotte Concentrated Ash, as Wyandotte Concen- trated Ash differs from Caustic and Soda Ash (48 per cent or 58 per cent.) This fact is easily shown when it is used in making bleach. Cotton bleached with a bleach in which Wyandotte 7 extile Soda has been used comes out softer and whiter than when bleached in a liquor with no Wyandotte Textile Soda. Also in sulphur dyeing, by adding Wyandotte Textile Soda you prevent all carbonizing effects, thus insuring goods that retain all their natural strength, elasticity and brilliancy. Mills which manufacture mercerized cottons will better the results very much if they will use Wyandotte Textile Soda in the boiling off process before mercerizing. The yarns come out positively soft and clean, thereby insuring both a higher luster and a silkier appearance in the mercerized product. From these few samples you will be able to ]udge somewhat of the unusual nature of the results which these products produce, and produce at the same, or often at a less cost than you obtain with what you now use. Can we tell or show you more about them ? Order from your supply house or write us. Wpandottr 0n traikiturk Card Cii; % B. ford Companp, Wpandouc. tnicb. a. $. R. THE J. B.

All of our buildings here are equipped with Turbo Humidifiers, something like 1400 in all. The installation was made following the other satisfactory exper- iences in another mill operated by the same Treasurer ' s office, and in both places we have had very satisfactory results. Our dealings with the G. M Parks Co. have been of the pleasantest and we are pleased with the opportunity to say a good word for them and their apparatus. Now consider these economic points : The Turbo puts back the weight, the natural moisture. The Turbo prevents oozy yarn. The Turbo improves the working condition, thus multiplying the efficiency of your help — and that means more profit. The Turbo is practically fool-proof. Each head is independent and can be opened or closed without affecting the others— a monkey wrench is the only tool needed. An attractively illustrated and bound Catalog is ready for your mill.
