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 ' 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 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.
