OKe TEAR BOOK OF Lowell Textile School PUBLISHED BY Ohe SENIOR CLASS VOLUME No. XI 1916 HE ANDOVER PRESS ANDOVER, MASS. Betitcation O Frederic S. Clark, President of tke Tal- bot Mills and Trustee of the Lowell Textile School since its incorporation, in apprecia- tion of his faithful vJork as trustee and of his lo;9al efforts to advance the best interests of our Alma Mater, we respectfully dedicate this volume. Mr. Clark has been one of the leaders in the textile industry of New England for a great man}) j)ears. His business career commenced in the wholesale paper business in Boston, but he came to the Talbot Mills in Billerica in 1883. He w as Treasurer and General Manager of that corporation 1884- 1907, and has been President since 1907. He was President of the Ameri- can Association of Woolen and Worsted Manufacturers in 1910-11, and is now a Director. At the present time he is also Vice-President of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers. o o w i-j o ►J X CReeriNS U2 jfouetoorti HE Year-Book of the Class of Nine- teen Hundred and Sixteen is now placed in your hands. Peruse it, we beg of you, not with the idea of comparison, but rather with an eye for its good points. We have endeavored to put forth a book which is entertaining and interesting, as well as historical. How far we have succeeded— you are our judge. It is hoped, however, that this volume will become one of the strongest links in the chain of memories, which binds the gradu- ate to the school: that as he reads it o ' er in after years, it will awaken within him a desire to return to Old Textile, if only for a visit. iilll I,||||| I ll 1111 1 J|||||l!!|||| liif ' iifii! iiv. ■ ' ,;; ilil lillllllllll llllllllllllllllll ■ i ' iiiiiiiiiiiii ' IH)IIIMII|[iix r ;4 I i B 1 1 M.

Somewhat timidly but with an outward air of importance, each one approached the office and signed up for the year. Ha ing fulfilled the first duty without being harassed, it was with a little more courage that we started to look about the place where we were to spend most of our time for the next three years. The first thing that caught our attention was a notice on the Bulletin Board, Mass Meeting downstairs at 9.30 a.m., for all students. We were ushered to this meeting by a couple of boobs called by courtesy Sophomores . After going through a series of stunts, in- cluding wheelbarrow rides and barefoot races, we were given into the hands of our Principal , and received the glad hand. From that time on we began to show our independence. After attending a few Frat smokers, it was with delight that we turned out for the Alumni Smoker. Nearly every Freshman was present and got acquainted with the upper-classmen and instructors. At the call for football candidates a great many of our class re- sponded, and on the Varsity 1916 we were represented by Gilley, Andrews, and Deady. On the afternoon of November 18, we had a chance to get back at the Sophs , by a flag-rush and football game. By placing the flag so high on the pole that it was impossible for anybody to get hold of it, the Sophs won the rush. However, when it came to the football game we outclassed the Sophs in every way. Luck figured, however, and the game ended in a tie, to 0. A little later a second opportunity was awarded us to show our calibre. It was the mid-year exams. During this time not a 1916 man was seen on the street, but- after they were over, some had nothing else to do but to walk the streets. (With apologies to Brinkerhoff , Townsend, and Dover.) Our second term started with the class banquet. The latter was a great success. The Sophs tried hard to capture our president, Fred Heney, but Fred was too clever for them. Using a rope fire-escape, he dropped out of the third story of the Waverly . Although he was handcuffed, and although the seat of his trousers insisted upon sticking 25 THE PICKOUT 19 16 to the sign on the front of the hotel, he finally reached the ground in safety and escaped. Later he fooled the Sophs again when our banquet was on. He was sent to the hotel in a laundry basket, and was carried in between four or five Sophs who were guarding the door. For the annual Show we were there again, and one of our Miss- picks , Hunker Townsend, took the leading man ' s part. On the jolly good fellow stuff afterwards, however, we were completely outclassed by the Sophs . The baseball team was our stronghold, for fair. With Sturtevant for pitcher, and Mehlman for catcher, we had a pair that clinched the battery for 1916. Baker at first base was recognized as one of the best players Textile ever had. Bill Deady covered third base, and Sjostrom made a crack at second. Davieau, feeling obliged to live up to his brother ' s rep , cornered the left field position. With th ese men on the field we very nearly possessed the baseball team. Next came the greatest day of the year — Upstream . Here we showed our superiority in several ways. First, we not only ate more than our opponents, but we got a chance to paste the instructors with banana fritters and ice cream. Dave Hunting thought he would stick it out, but a well-directed shower of roast beef and gravy soon drove him to cover. (By the way, Dave was some mad, that day.) We won the baseball game against the Sophs and also the tug-of-war. That was our first real day of sport at Textile, and everyone came home with a feeling that he had had the best time ever. After this came the finals, and they came with a kick in them all right. The temperature in the room was about 90°, but Herbie ' s exam had a temperature of 212°. The rest of the exams were no pipe, and we were some pleased when they were over. Then away for the summer. SECOND YEAR After a long summer the fellows were seen landing in Lowell one by one. Some came ahead of time, owing to a misunderstanding with some of the instructors. For instance, one or two fellows thought they passed Chemistry, but Doc Smith disagreed with them, and so they came early to prove their contention. Very few of our fellows were missing, and we had the largest percentage back of any class at Textile. On the first day the Freshmen were taken out and shown where they belonged. 26 THE PICKOUT 1916 The Alumni Smoker was our first chance to get acquainted with the new men. They were a very odd class and hard to get friendly with. After a few street parades and stunts at the theatre they began to loosen up, however, and were soon acting like regular guys. The football team of 1915 showed the following ' 16 men on its roster: O ' Connor, Peabody, Andrews, Deady, Baker, Dover, Fuller, and Powers. The rest of the term was very quiet. The ' 13 Club was picked up and served to vary the monotony somewhat. Several freshies were chastised for breaking rules, and the rules were not broken again. The Christmas recess came as a relief and everybody was mighty glad to get a rest. Upon our return the semi-finals were at hand, and with their passing several of our class left us for good. The few days rest after the exams served as first aid to the injured and put new hope in all of us. The Textile Show was given at Colonial Hall on the evening of February 12, 1915. Many of our men took part in the play, and those who did not take part, attended. It was a great success both from a social and a financial standpoint. The Freshmen, being flush with money about this time, held a banquet at the Waverly. Through kind generosity they entertained our class president, Ham Harris. We got the class together too late to save the day, but just in time to go in and have a few glasses of water with the Freshies. At the call for baseball candidates we had a fine representation. The 1916 men who played were Sturtevant, Baker, Harris, Deady, Sjostrom, O ' Connor, and Davieau. Kid Powers played bench and pinch hitter. We Sophs were right on deck for the Upstream tickets. The honors won our first year were upheld our second. Mike O ' Connor was captain of our team, and needless to say we won hands down. In the relay race and in the tug-of-war it was a cinch for us. It was one fine day throughout, and when it was over we wished it had just begun. When the finals came, we lay dead. Then away for another summer. THIRD YEAR The last of September found us back in the old school again. Some of the old fellows were missing, but our junior class presented a survival of the fittest. 27 THE PICKOUT 1916 On the opening day we stood back to see the Freshmen trim the Sophomores to a frazzle. The course of studies proving to be of a more practical nature this year, we took the opportunity to enter Lowell ' s social life, where we scored an instantaneous success — nit. Others have chosen to help the Bay State Co. do its work. The duties of president of our class this year fell to Sjostrom and we have yet to see a better one. Our football team had a fine season this year, and it was led by one of the smallest men in Textile, at that. O ' Connor, Powers, Peabody, and Fuller were the 1916 men who stood behind Old Textile to the finish. Another good man who appeared for the first time and did some fine work for the team was Shucks Lawrence, otherwise known as the Bar- barian . In hockey we had one fine team. A good deal of credit for this goes to Captain Harris, under whom any team would make good. Kid Powers managed the team and arranged a good list of games. The Textile Show, which came off February 11, was managed by Allen Fuller, ' 16. The characters were taken mostly by 1916 men, and it proved a great success. The baseball prospects for the spring appear especially bright. Manager Tyler, ' 16, has arranged a fine schedule of games, including several of the larger college teams, as well as a game with the Lowell New England League team. With the veterans on hand and with some help from the Freshman class, we should have a very successful season. Billy It McMahon, a former Louisville and New England League player, has been secured as coach, and if given the material to work with, he will build up a fine team. As a whole, 1916 has peculiarities which no other class has possessed. For instance, as Mutt and Jeff we have Baker and Powers, Gerrish and Garmon, and Colby and Foster. For Swedes we have Mike Cummings and Jerie O ' Connor. We also have a club which no other class has had. It was organized by N. P. Cubberly and named the Browning Club. However, with all its faults, 1916 has the best class in Textile, and to prove it, we will graduate the largest number the school has ever had. All up for 1916! J. Tracy Colby 28 CHARLES HENRY ALBRECHT dutch Dutch was found one day, sitting in the school office with B. D. Smith They tossed up; Albreeht won and took the Chemistry course. B. D. is now one of our miss-picks, but Dutch is still with us and as good a Chemist as there is in the class. His only amusement is chasing to the fires which occur in Lowell or in the surrounding towns. He started this early in his fiist year and has never gotten out of the habit. Dutch will not return next year, but will probably enter some estab ' ishment where he can pursue the same course of work that he has taken up in school. We wish him luck and hope to meet him often after he becomes one of Textile ' s Alumni. WILLIAM JOHN BAKER BAKE Class Football, Football, 2, 3 13 Club, 2, 3 BABY BALLINGER ' WILLIE Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Captain Baseball, 3 Pickout Board, 2, 3 Nominating Committee, 1 Bake hails from West Groton, a little town not far from here- But, do not get the idea that he is any rube. His head is filled with big ideas, such as being head Chemist of a big paper mill, or playing first base for the Braves . For you must know, Baker is somewhat of a ballplayer, as every Textile man can vouch. In fact we would go as far as to say that he is as good as any man the Crimson and Black ever boasted of. But Baker is not confined to baseball, for he can show some class on the gridiron. Tall and speedy, he made a fine halfback and helped the team wonderfully. Nevertheless, Baker always finds time to keep his marks far- above the ebb tide and he is one good Chemist. We feel sure that, with all his knowledge and experience, as well as his distinctive get there makeup, he will be a great success when he goes out into the business world. THE PICKOUT 19 16 ARCHIE BARLOFSKY ARCHIE MR. PERKINS ASSISTANT LET ARCHIE DO IT Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Archibald is a produet of the Lowell High School and one of the most industrious chaps that ever came to Textile. He came here with the fixed determination of repairing every defect he could find in the school ' s equipment of machinery, and so far his record of repairing machinery is exceeded by only one other record, that of breaking it. His highest ambition is to become a Textile Engineer, and if a man ' s ability as an engineer is measured by the amount of dirt and grime he can get on his hands, then Archie is the most efficient engineer 1 his school has ever turned out Archie is one of the hardest workers in school. In all his classes he has stood well towards the head. He is a regular glutton for work, and our advice to any textile manufacturer who is trying to save money, is to fire about half a dozen men and hire Archie. JAMES TRACY COLBY TWILIGHT A K £ ' jimmie asthma dope ' Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 3 Textile Show, 2,3 Athletic Council, 3 Three years ago Jimmie left the old town of Manchester, N. H., in search of education, and he is not sure whether he has found it yet. Upcn his entrance to Textil School, his cheerful disposition and beaming countenance bought for him the title of Twilight , and it has stuck to him throughout his entire course. As a student Jimmie has been there strong, but as a social man and as an actor he has shone brightly. In the social life he is in great demand, and as the saying goes They all fall for Jimmie ' ' . Thanks 1o his ability as an actor, the Textile shows of ' 15 and ' 1C were great successes. After graduation it is doubtful whether the textile line will hold him, for a certain Manchester bank needs a new cashier. Wherever he goes and whatever he does, it will always be the glad hand with us for Tracy. NORMAN PURDY CUBBERLY CUBBY NORMIE o n VERNON CASTLE ' BROWNY Textile Show, 1 Show Committee, 3 Asst. Manager Football, 2 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Manager Football, 3 13 Club 2, 3 Pickout Board, 3 C. P. Cubberly, manufacturer of delicious and toothsome fancies, may have brought forth many matchless products, but we must admit that Norman P. heads the list. Normie , as he is known by the youngest members of the family, is the last of that noble triumvirate, the founders of which were Farnsworth and Simpson. Unlike his two predecessors, Cubby was not satisfied with the dancing artists of Lowell, so he crossed the line to Lawrence — we mean Stanley ' s, and there was where the trouble- began. While Cubby has one more year before he can place the official Engineering degree of B.V.D. after his name, his work to date is most commendable and his success is fully assured. 30 THE PICKOUT 19 16 EDWARD STANTON CUMMINGS A K O TED CUMMY Editor-in-Chief Pickout 3 REPORTER Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Rather a quiet, unassuming-looking chap, but on looking him over more closely we find a remarkable product of the Lowell High School. His first year he spent in deep study; but such efforts are always rewarded and Ted received no mean share of the H ' s handed out that year. The following summer was too much for our hero and upon our return in the fall, we found our Edward smoking a pipe, and, much worse, associating himself very frequently with a petite little damsel who also is a native daughter. It can readily be assumed that our once quiet little student may often be seen passing hither and thither with one of Lowell ' s fairest. Whether Ted chooses Engineering or newspaper work, he will attain results which require the notice of everybody, and he will do this with the best wishes of everybody whom fortune has smiled upon and allowed an acquaintance with Ted to be made. ALFRED EDWARD DAVIEAU iAK dave blushing violet handsome Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 As one Davieau left the school, another one came to take his place. The former one had quite a reputation in school circles and it was up to Dave to hold up the honor of the family. Accordingly, he started right in by copping the left-field position on the baseball team, which he has held for two seasons now, and we have yet to see who is going to take it away from him this year. Although Eddie christened him the Blushing Violet , Dave is far from being shy. The little house around the corner holds strong attractions for him, and on Wednesday and Sunday evenings ' there is nobody home in Dave ' s room. After graduation, the superintendent of some large concern is going to lose his position, but he has one thing to congratulate him- self on and that is, that he is going to lose it to a man who is fitted to take his place. WILLIAM FRANCIS DEADY ROUGHNECK Football, 1, 2, 3 Hockey, 2, 3 A K S bill ' 13 Club 3 SCHOOL VISITOR Class Football, 1 Baseball, 1, 2, 3 The girls of a marriageable age in Lowell sat up and took notice when Bill Deady struck the town. Tall and handsome, Bill was the pride of Uxbridge, and if they had known that he was going to make such a hit in Lowell, they wouldn ' t have let him come here. But, Bill has not specialized at all but has contented himself with playing them all, going to Lawrence for his variety. Bill has been there on the athletics and we have seen him in every form at Textile. In baseball at third base, in football at tackle, and in hockey as forward, he has acquitted himself with marked ability. In school (when he is there) Bill is a Chemist, and a special one at that. Bobby and he do not agree on all things, but as a rule he gets by all right. We will not state what he is going to do after leaving us, but we would not be surprised to see him carried off by some infatuated heiress. 31 19 16 THE PICKOUT RALPH M. FOLKINS o n swede Unlike most of the other predecessors of his race, this fair-haired youth of the North Sea decided early in life that his vocational ambitions were not to be a janitor, so instead became a com- muter . Not a commuter who rides to reach his destination, but rather a genuine joy-rider. Where the attraction lies we will not attempt to guess. Swede , besides doing much research work in the Pool Labora- tory, has made interesting investigations in social conditions of the students ' rooms, and when he at last holds down a chair in the House at the Capitol, may we not expect large appropriations for new easychairs, locks which are Eames-proof, etc.? As to ability and a future, we do not feel justified in trying to explain the field which lies open to the man with technical training coupled to such talent as Ralph possesses. BOUTWELL HYDE FOSTER A K J bout shkimp irresistible tewksbury Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 3 Boutwell entered the big school in company with the rest of the 1913 L. H. S. class. Although lacking in height, he was there with the punch , and the way those stars, Kid Mechanism and One Round Math , fell before him was a caution. Just for the sake of being odd, the Shrimp picked up Colby as a side partner, and as a result they were christened Mutt and Jeff . During his first two years at the school Bout did not set a very fast pace, but this last year he has been kicking the traces like a race horse Dances, theatres, Smith College, sleighrides, and what not. And yes, please do not forget, The girls all fall for the little boy . That is why we call him Irresistible . Three years at Textile have convinced him that the farm is no place for him and he will return next year for his degree. After that we set no limit for him, but we do wish him all the success in the world, and we hope to meet him often as an Alumnus. ALLEN REED FULLER Class Football, 1 13 Club, 2, 3 Football, 2, 3 Secretary of the Class, 3 FULL Full is from Dorchester, as one would soon learn if he became engaged in conversation with him. He entered in the Chemistry course his first yeai and has never since wavered from his chosen path. However, his real hobby is not that offending dye-pots but in the art of one-handed cigarette-rolling. Ask any of the Chemists and they will soon convince you of his proficiency in this line. But Allen has one weakness — his tendency toward fussing. You would never guess it to look at him, just after Bobby has refused his samples, but this is only one of his attitudes. To under- stand him rightly you should meet him after the day ' s work is done. Many a night he dons his coat and hat, and disappears mysteriously. We don ' t know where he goes, but he always comes back happy. We feel certain, therefore, that with his serious temperament moderating the underlying good-fellowship spirit, he will surely prove a success out in the mill . THE PICKOUT 19 16 JOSEPH PARKER GARMON ! JOE CENTEALVILLE MTJSKRAT Engineering, 1, 2, 3 Joe is a product of the good old L. H. S. He may be short of stature, but he certainly is not short of brains. He is one of Lupe ' s ' right-hand men and he corrects the Math and Juice books. In these courses he pulls C ' s and H ' s. How does it happen, Joe? His chief hobbies are motorcycles and motors. Thus far he has managed to smash his machine without smashing himself. We trust that he will be careful, for he might cut short his career as a great Textile Engineer. He has only recently discovered a method of connecting a d.C. motor to a gaspipe, and making it go. He is also attairing literary fame. When the L. C. C. is short of news Central ville writes up a long wail on the wretched Bay Si ate car service in his district. They print it, too. Some day when Joe is chief electrical engineer of a great street railway system, he will regret those hard-hearted knocks. HENRY KILBORN GERRISH johnny howker Society of Designers, 1, 2, 3 On the 28th of September, 1913, Henry arose at five a.m., put on his best clothes, had his mother brush his hair, and took the six-thirty trolley expiess from South Lowell, to Textile. First he took a whack at the Chemistry course, but soon dis- covered his mistake, and changed over to Design. Just what the reason was we do not know, but we believe he heard the call of the siren and could not resist it. In school Henry usually sharked the courses, except in Woo), where some of his fool questions, as Eddie calls them, aroused the Professor ' s ire. Henry ' s chief hobby is putting gill-boxes together, having a few gears left over and having the machine run just as well. Seriously speaking, Henry is there wilh the goods and judging from his record at the school he will be a great success at his chosen line of work. HAZEL SOPHIA GILMORE hazel This fair maiden entered the Textile School to show the boy designers just how to do it, and believe me it was not long under the careful training of Prof. Heine H. Bachmann, that she did bring out her skill as an artist. Hazel is one of these You have got to show me kind and because of this fact and that she feels so sure of herself in everything she does, we all know that she will make a great success if she follows up the training she has received in design at the Lowell Textile School. 33 THE PICKOUT 19 16 LAWRENCE RANKIN HARRIS Class Football, Baseball, 1, 2 Pickout Board, HAM 1 2, 3 Hockey, 2, 3 Captain Hockey, 3 13 Club, 2, 3 2, 3 Baseball, 1, This year at mid-year we lost one of the most popular fellows in our class. That fellow is Ham Hanis. He entered with us three years ago and his good-natured and friendly manner won him a large number of friends. Ham entered inlo athletics to some extent and made good in everything he went inlo. On the class football team of 1913 he played end; on the baseball team he was a pitcher, and on the hockey team he held down the position of rover, as well as that of the cap- taincy, this year. It was in the latter sport that he excelled, and it was due to his efforts that the sport was resumed at the school. On the business side of school life he has been one of Heinie ' s most expert Designers, and his Boss was very sorry to have him leave. But Greenwood is not very far from Lowell, and we hope to see Ham quite often. He was one good old sport in school life and he deserves all the success that we hope may come to him. GLADYS MARIE HOLDEN This young lady is the leader of the co-eds of our class, and she is just the girl who can lead. Being the only one of her sex in the chemistry department, she caused quite a flurry of excitement, but Gladys (it is usually Miss), having a wonderfully good nature and a ready wit easily withstood the small town stuff , called kidding by Messrs. Deady and Powers. As for studies, even the sharks like Baker and Powers were hard put to be placed in the same class with her. After graduation we expect to see her as ' Professoress of Chem- istry in one of the large colleges for young women. We wish her all the success in the world and we know that the schcol and the class of 1916 will receive honor from the fruits of her work. HAROLD EMERSON LAWRENCE A K shucks the barbarian Football, 3 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Class Football, 1 Hockey, 1, 2, 3 Shucks ' s appearance on the scene of Textile ' s domain was the cause of the inquiry, Who is that modest-appearing fellow that keeps so quiet? Shucks soon showed them that appearances are very deceiving, and the very ones who asked the above question were the ones who christened him The Barbarian . He decided to follow Perk ' s line, but it was only to while away the time that he did so. Why? Because he is the main squeeze on the New York steamship Bunker Hill, and he only goes to school because traffic is so light in the winter time. His popularity is due in a great measure to his ability to fuss , and he surely is some bear at that game. He does, not dare to go home, for there are always three or four invitations waiting there for him, and he does not like to hurt anyone ' s feelings by accepting one and refusing the others. What is a fellow to do? Shucks has the ability to get there, and we believe he will be successful in years to come. THE PICKOUT 1916 FRANCIS HENRY MOLLOY A K $ HANK MICKY MOLLY Class Football, 1 Textile Show, 3 2 3 PIMP 13 Club, 2, 3 Show Committee, 3 Hank entered our midst in a rush and we have not been able to get rid of him since. Not that we wanted to, though, for he is one of the jolliest good fellows that Textile ever had. Even three years in the Wool course has not injured his admirable good qualities, and everybody will be sorry to see him leave in June. Hank did not go in for athletics very much, except, when to hold up the honor of the class, he played on the football team against the Sophomores. As a ladies ' man and as a terpischorean artist however, his star shone brightly. Also as an actor he showed rare ability and received a great hand as the College man in the annual show. We understand that the Maynard woolen scouts have their eyes on Hank , but up to the present time he has signed no con- tract. Needless to say, however, that whatever line he enters he will bring honor to himself and to Textile. LAWRENCE DENNIS O ' CONNOR A K larry wobuen michael swede Football, 1, 2, 3 Class Baseball, Class Football, 1, 2 Baseball, 2, Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Woburn sent forth its representative to Lowell Textile in the person of our own Larry , or Michael, as he is known to his friends. He was received with open arms and a place was assigned to him in ihe golden circle His only mislake was in taking the Engineering course, for Wool was certainly his strong point. Lawrence has been there strong when it came to athletics. On the football team ; although handicapped by size and lack of weight he made a slashing halfback, and could find a hole where there was none. In baseball, his wing was his stronghold. After graduation he has not decided whether it will be South America or Ireland, hut the war has made him list towards the former. We expecl to see him as Mayor of Woburn some day, and we will all bow to His Honor , Michael the Great. KENNETH BELL PARK on k.b. Prologue. — Fall of 1912. As silently as he came, so silently he moved about us from day to day, unlil at mid- year Scarlet Fever came and took him away to Winchester. Bui he came back. Full stage — Ensemble — Follies of ' 14, ' 15, and ' 16. Ken ' s life at Textile has been so much like a show, we could not help writing it up in this way. Why? Because it involved three requisites Action, Love and Success. The action came one night when he calmly brushed aside the Lowell Police Force and demanded his coat check, 013. The love stuff we will pass over with a blush and a sigh ; for the author knows only too well that he is treading on dangerous ground. As to success, K.B. has already jumped into a responsible position, which he is fully capable of handling. 19 16 THE PICK OUT ROGER MERRILL PEABODY on cupid buster fat roger Football, 1, 2, 3 Business Manager Piekout, 3 Pickout, 1, 2, 3 Rams, 1, 2, 3 Athletic Council, 3 13 Club, 2, 3 Nature and Ed die Barker got together and worked. Now we all know that nature works wonders, but Eddie is more won- derful still. Accordingly, Roger, the result of the combined work, is as we see him to-day, All wool and nearly a yard wide . Of course we want to state right here that the raw stock coming from Everett needed a thorough scouring, but he came up smiling and even in his first year he proved to be no drug on the social market. As we look him over today we see that he has passed through the three years of fire test and has come out with only one blemish. We will not mention what the one is, for we feel sure that he will overcome it soon after leaving school. As to his futuie: Herbie still laments that he had to give him H ' s; Lupe nearly found his match on mental calculations; Lester decided that it would be safer not to mix with him at all and Eddie just pats him on the back and says lovingly, Mine . SAMUEL PERLMAN SAM SCOOP Sam is a product of the Lowell High School, but, unlike his other fellow-graduates, upon his arrival at Textile he decided to take the Chemistry course. As a Chemist he has made good, and except when he joins Bake in the smoking class, he has a drag with Bobby . Sam has not entered the athletics of the school, but has contented himself by advertising the school through the medium of the newspaper. During the past year he has, by means of the Lowell Courier -Citizen, kept the people of Lowell well informed as to the activities of the school. After graduation (unless he returns for the B.T.D.) he will probably letire to his private laboratory and there confine himself until he discovers the Geimans ' secret of making the dyestuffs. Then he will return to the school and relieve Prof Olney as head of the said department. We wish you luck, Sam. Go to it. WALTER WELLINGTON POWERS KID 4 ' duke KAISER Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Pickout, 2. 3 Class Football, 1, 2 13 Club, 2. 3 Football, 2 3 Show, 2, 3 Captain Football, 3 Manager Hockey, 3 As he was inclined towards wildness, Powers ' s parents decided that the only place for him was a school of hard work. Forthwith he entered Textile. From the start the Kid showed a lot of pep and soon let everyone know that he was on the map. On the football team his lack of size did not hinder him, and he held down the quarterback position for two years and also acted as captain this year. Baseball., also, claimed his attention, and here he was general, all-round utility man, playing any position from bench to pitcher. In the Textile Show for two years he took the part of a girl, and, except for the muscles of his arms, he fooled them all. This year, also, he managed the hockey team and arranged a fine series of games. Powers has entered into everything with genuine spirit, and the school will be a loser by his graduation. We wish him the best of luck. THE PICKOUT 1916 MARIE EMELIA RACICOT emelia Our class was highly honored with the presence of Emelia when we entered the Textile School as freshmen. Now Emelia is a cute girl and quite small, but she surely makes up for lack of height by being so entertaining. At one time a prize of one hundred dollars was offered to the one that would find Emelia quiet for two and two-fifth of a second, but unfortunately no one was ever lucky enough to win the one hundred. Emelia ' s one ambition is to become a boy, for she loves them she says, but we fear that her wish will never be realized, for she has better prospects by following her training acquired in the design course. We have her to thank for the cover design on this book and it certainly shows that she possesses the goods if she wishes to show them. HYMAN JESSE SHABER nashua Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Textile Show, 2, 3 Hyman is the only member of our class that comes from the big city of Nashua. Forsaith put Nashua on Textile ' s map, but it took Shaber to advertise the place. He has not gone in for athletics, but he did go out for the Shows and he made them both times This year he took the part of the Hotel Proprietor and showed remark- able ability as an owner of a high-class New York hotel. Some people thought it was kind of funny thai the proprietor should have his office in the cellar, but they did not understand the plot of the play. It has been stated that after graduating, Shaber is going down to Georgia and build a few mills for the Pacolet Mfg. Co He is working on the construction at the present time (and has been for a long time) and by the end of May it will be all ready. Go to it, Nashua , old boy, and here ' s success to you! CARL VERNER AUGUSTUS SJOSTROM, Jr. A K SHOSH SWEDE President Senior Class Nominating Committee, 3 Show Committee, 2 Pickout Board, 2, 3 Society of Designers WARE CARL Baseball, 1, 2, Basketball, 1, 2, Captain Basketball, Show, 2, 1, 2, 3 Grin came to us from the little town of Ware. (Where?) His sunny disposition and the fact that he belonged to the Glad Club , won for him a large number of friends, both in the school and around town. His aptitude for disguising himself in dresses won him fame in the Textile Shows of ' 15 and ' 16. Grin has been athletically inclined, as well as socially inclined, and has won a name for himself in both baseball and basketball, in each of which he was an aggressive player. The offices which he has held so aptly while in school show that, later in life, he will be capable of holding down a position in which he can put his feet on his desk, smoke a big, black cigar, and talk business with the President (of the hod carriers ' union). We will fcay, however, that we will all be sorry to have the boy depart from us, and that we will always be glad that he picked Textile lor his higher education. A rising vote for Sjos ! THE PICKOUT 19 16 HENRY SOKOLSKY sok Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 It was nothing more or less than a miracle that Textile was honored with the presence of Sok , for he graduated in 1912 from Lowell High School well versed in Virgil and Cicero. The matter of Textile was placed before him and he changed his mind immediately. He then returned to the High School for a P.G. course and accordingly entered Textile in September, 1913. Sok is an earnest worker, but still has time to play pool, and he expects in the near future to install a sleeping apartment in the Students ' Room, as near the poolroom as is possible. With the ladies Sok is a decided success, whether it be in Lawrence or in Dorchester. He has lately developed a taste for dancing and he can now shake a leg with the best of our crew. Sok , however, always does his work and does it well, and the concern that gets him on their payroll will be taking stock in a paying investment . ALBERT WILLIAM STURTEVANT sturtie Sturtie decided that the Textile School was the shortest walk from his home, and accordingly he put his John Hancock to an application blank. While in the Lowell High School, Sturtevant proved his woith as a pitcher, and he kept up the good work in Textile. His first year here he alternated with Brickett in the box and pitched gilt-edged ball. Last year the brunt of the pitching fell on his shoulders, but he was equal to the task. He was also a timely and a hard hitter and many a run counted from his bat. Sturtie will be of much use to the team this year, and should he return next year he will be there strong. But, should he decide not to return to school, he need not worry. In his course at Textile he has stood well in all his classes, and if any manufacturer of chemicals needs a new superintendent he should get on Sturtie ' s track before the latter is caught up by a rival firm. Good luck to vou, old Iron Man ! LAURISTON WHITCOMB TYLER A K TY ITCH Asst. Manager Baseball, Manager Baseball, 3 Pickout Board, 2 LAURIE Class Baseball, 2 Class Vice-President, 2 Rams, 1, 2, 3 On the morning of the 26th of November, 1913, a husky youth by the name of Brickett might have been seen alighting from a Pelham car, leading a tall, frail child by the hand. From papers found on his body his name proved to be Tyler (Lauriston Whitcomb for short). Laurie did not travel about Lowell very much his first year, except when he was looking for eats , his only social enjoyment being that of attending Keith ' s on Wednesday afternoons. He stuck closely to his studies and he proved himself a shark in his special line. The latter two years of his school career have been a great success. Not only has he passed all his studies, but he has become one of the most popular fellows in the school. Everyone knows Ty as he saunters down Pawtucket Street, with his old pipe in his mouth. Ty is a good old sport and his personality will aid him, not only socially but in the course of his work, and we have no doubt that some day he will be a big man in the Woolen Manufacturing business. THE PICKOUT 19 16 GEORGE WILLIAM WOODS bill Bill blew into the L. T. S. from Groton, in company with Bake and Harvey Woods, as green as could be. As time went on Bill became more like real city folks, and to-day you would never know he was ever a country lad. His chief hobby is dancing, and no one in Textile has anything on him when it comes to showing how to shake a leg . Bill is also quite a ladies ' man and not one of the fair sex has ever been known to resist that charming smile, which he is always wont to wear. We all wish Bill a world of success in business, and we all know that he will prove to b e a powerful and valuable Alumnus. LAWRENCE BURNHAM WOOD A K 3 mouse He came to us from the Y . M . C . A. Engineering School of Boston and took his place in the second-year class. During his stay in Lowell he has been a true follower of Dr. Yarnell of the local Y.M.C.A. and his highest ambition is to become the Secretary of that organi- zation. He is especially active in the bowling game, and on the Ladies Night he is one of the high-striDg men. He has made several visits to the local Y.M.C.A. for the purpose of showing the fair sex how to bowl. At the present time he is giving his spare time to the study of Astronomy, and can be seen on the roof of the boai ding- house on any clear evening viewing the stars. Often his lady friends accompany him on these star-gazing tours, and it is said that for a while the Dipper and the other constellations are forgotten. From here Mouse intends to enter some large Chemical concern, and there is no doubt but that within a few years he will be at the head of it. 39 NAME Albrecht, Charles Henry Baker, William John Barlofsky, Archie Colby, James Tracy Cubberly, Norman Purdy Cummings, Edward Stanton Davieau, Alfred Edward Deady, William Francis Folkins Ralph Morris Foster, Boutwell Hyde Fuller, Allen Reed Garmon, Joseph Parker Gerrish, Henry Kilborn Gilmore, Hazel Sophia Harris, Lawrence Rankin Holden, Gladys Marie Molloy, Francis Henry O ' Connor, Lawrence Dennis Park, Kenneth Bell Peabody, Roger Merrill Perlman, Samuel Powers, Walter Wellington Racicot, Marie Emelia Shaber, Hyman Jesse Sturtevant, Albert William Tyler, Lauriston Whitcomb Wood, Lawrence Burnham Woods, George William SCHOOL LAST ATTENDED HOME ADDRESS IV Dorchester High 23 Charles St., Dorchester, Mass.

Hearken to me ! For several days way back in September, trains of Bumps and Misery Railroad had ejected trunks and suitcases at the Lowell station. The reason, you ask? School was on. In other words, The Spindle City was again becoming famous by the opening of Textile. Immediately the village police force was enlarged and the jail cleaned up. Finally, on the 28th of the month the 8.06 rambled in, and stopped as usual. Out poured the old gang of commuters and started for the school. Be it known that 1917 was still on the map. Her ranks were thin, but each man was a veteran of a year ' s campaign. We had nineteen chemists back (which, by the way, was the number which left in June) ; seven engineers were still with us, four wool men and two cotton men completing our roster. Only thirty-two in all, but it must be said that 1917 more than made up in genuine class spirit for what she lacked in actual numbers. For proof, ask any Freshman. But the Freshies . Yes, unfortunately a rather motley crew arrived at the school, and called themselves Freshmen . To relate their faults and sins is a harsh and difficult thing to do. To describe them is impossible. The Emerald Tale has been called green, but the Freshies were overlooked then. Suffice it to say that if the Freshmen had been placed in the Garden of Eden, instead of Adam and Eve, the greenest of trees would have turned white with envy. After the first few days everyone settled down to study, or at least tried to do so. The chemists were introduced to quant . The cotton and wool men were snagged by Weaving Mechanism . The engineers were kept busy by Graphic statics. However, as in all such cases there was bound to be some reaction, and the class introduced Keith ' s as a regular study in their work. Peace reigned between the Sophs and the Freshmen until one evening ten knights of 1917 determined to capture a few of the freshies for a little entertainment. Down Fletcher Street they marched and on to the B. M. station. Two freshies hove in sight, and with a whoop and yell the knights were upon the innocents. Quick as a wink they were handcuffed. Suddenly a group of Freshmen appeared, bent on rescue. 45 THE PICKOUT 1916 To be sure there was quite a scrap. Backwards and forwards the bunch surged. The number on both sides was about even. Get to thunder out of here! yelled one policeman, while another ran to the box to be ready to call the reserves if necessary. But some- thing intervened in the meantime. Honk Honk! Doc Evans ' chariot arrived at the scene of the battle. The two culprits were fired in and carried off under the wouldbe rescuers ' noses. 1917 had drawn first blood. With equal numbers we were victorious. ' The Freshmen never mention this little episode, but they tell proudly how, later in the evening, sixty of their men met and vanquished our ten Sophomores. For a month or so a truce was declared between the two classes. Then 1918 imagined that she was thirsting for 1917 blood. She had the audacity to challenge us to a football game and flag-rush. The Freshies were confident of winning both, or they would never have thrown down the gauntlet. Finally, one snowy Wednesday afternoon both events took place. The two teams lined up and the game was on. 1917 played far different football than was expected. Both teams fought hard. The ball went from one side of the field to the other. At the end of the third period the score was to 0. In the fourth period, Berry, with the assist- ance of Sullivan and Morris, dropped a goal from a placement and made the only score of the game; 1917 had won. The unexpected had hap- pened. A few minutes later and 1917 ' s banner was tied to one of the goalposts. We Sophs gathered around the foot of the pole, a whistle blew and the Freshies rushed at us. Each Soph fought like mad and easily handled two of the Freshies. At the end of the allotted time, 1917 ' s banner was still floating on high. The Freshies had met two Waterloos in one day and they were a pretty crestfallen-looking bunch. In January the Freshies actually had a banquet. However, it was on a Saturday night and at 10.30 p.m. at that. Again, behold the greenness of the Freshies. Let A — a Fresh ie Let B — a Soph To prove that 1918 is green. A. — Going to the Freshman banquet? B. — I don ' t know. When is it coming off? A. — You ' re a Junior, aren ' t you? 46 THE P1CK0UT 19 16 B. — Oh, yes, I ' m a Junior. A.— Well, don ' t tell anyone, but it. is Saturday night. B.— Is that so? Well, so long. A.— So long. Therefore the Freshies are green. [Q. E. D.j And so through the whole year, 1917 has gone on majestically. Her men have fought for the Crimson and the Black on the gridiron and on diamond. Her men have brought honor to her because of scholarship. And when they leave the good old school to take up their occupations, rest assured that these same men will continue to bring glory and honor to 1917 and Textile. For we are Textile men and we are mighty proud of it. Remember, We are heart and soul for you, dear class, ' 17 is your name. And to the Crimson and the Black You ' re bound to bring great, fame.

Andrews Bryan Leonard Charles L. Winn Frank E. Gooding President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer Representative to Athletic Council THE FRESHMAN CLASS Botngs of tfje jfresfmtan Class jfre£fjman-£opf)omore f ootfcail £3ame Those who went to witness the annual Freshman-Sophomore foot- ball contest expecting to witness a farce came away sorely disappointed. Never in the annals of Textile was there a harder-fought or a more closely contested match. In spite of the light fall of snow on the gridiron, fumbles were few and far between, and the poor condition of the field will in all probability, hold water as an alibi for the misspicks of both teams. A coin was flipped, Captain Morrell won the toss, and chose the northern goal. Exactly at 3.05 Referee Lupien blew his whistle and Berry, leader of the Sophs, sent the ball gracefully sailing into the arms of Winn. The husky Boston lad rushed the pigskin back twenty yards before he was downed and from that time on, the game was fight, fight, fight, for every yard of gain. The first quarter closed without any spectacular playing ' on either side, and with the ball on the Sophomore ' s 15 -yard line. The second period opened up with snap and vigor, with the pisgkin in the hands of the Freshies. A series of line plunges brought them with- in four yards of the goal. At the critical moment Stick Plaisted, who had been shifted from the line to the backfield, was given the ball to carry. Stick glanced over to the bleachers to see whether or not the two young ladies were admiring his manly form, and prepared to crash through the husky line of Sophomores. But as the fondest of hopes are sometimes blighted, so were those of the Class of 1918, when the mass of struggling players untangled themselves. The Freshies had lost their opportunity; Stick had fumbled, and there in the bottom of the pile, the pigskin nestled in the arms of McDonald, ' 17. Berry kicked the ball to the center of the field, and the half closed with neither side scoring. The third quarter was marked by a brilliant end around end play, executed by Plaisted and Brown, which netted the Freshmen a good forty yards. Here on the 15-yard line, the new-comers were held for downs, and the ball passed into the hands of the Sophs. Line-plunge after line-plunge brought the ball back to the middle of the field, and again the period closed with goose-eggs on the scoreboard. 54 THE PICKOUT 1916 The last quarter opened up with the ball on the Freshmen ' s 45-yard line. Berry smashed through the line, and brought the oval within kicking distance of the goal. With three minutes left to play, the Sophs decided to try for a field goal. Morris snapped the ball back to Sullivan, and Berry kicked as perfect a placement as could be wished. Three points were too much for the Freshmen to overcome, and the game ended with the Sophomores as victor. €f)e flag ftugf) The flag rush immediately followed the football game. After the pennant had been placed on the top of the western crossbar, the Sophs and the Freshmen lined up for the battle. Referee Putnam blew his whistle at 4.05 p.m. and the scrap commenced with a vengeance. The Freshmen, with the sting of defeat still fresh in their memories, dove for the post with a smash that will take a full year for the Sophs to forget. But the husky class of 1917 remembered their experience of the year previous, and gallantly defended their little piece of bunting. In the meantime, MacDonald, ' 17 was tearing around the outskirts of the crowd in search of the Freshie who had handed him a generous puck in the geographical center of the anatomy known as the ear. Without doubt, we all know now why McCann ' 18 led the parade down town on the memorable afternoon of February 9. Pretty small trick to slip over on a Freshman all on account of his being slick enough to shake up one of the Most High ' 13. The minutes were not long in going, and once the Freshmen suc- ceeding in getting a man as high as the crossbar. Wells, ' 18, was the lucky man, or unlucky, to reach the crossbar, but his raiment disap- peared so quickly, he was forced through embarrassment, to descend from the coveted position. There was a reason — ladies in the bleachers. At 4.08, Putt again blew his whistle and the rush closed with the flag safe in- the hands of the Sophs. This was too much for the Freshies, two defeats in the same day, and as they made their way to the locker-room, there was many a glum countenance among the Class of 1918. C. W. ' Mclellan, ' 15. 55 THE PICKOUT 1916 £J e jfregtyman banquet On Saturday evening, January 15, 1916, sixty members of the Class of 1918 met in the spacious dining-room of the New American Hotel to participate in their annual festivities. Precisely at 9.45, President Andrews rapped for order, spoke a few words of welcome, and bade the Freshmen to commence on the edibles. Immediately, Heinie Zimmerman and his cohorts rushed forth fro m the direction of the kitchen with the bluepoints, and the fun was on. Oh, yes; there were Sophomores at the banquet. What Freshman feast would be complete without them! Several of the Class of 1917, Messrs. Libbee, Hart, Ashworth and Zimmerman to be exact, volun- teered their services as hash-slingers for the evening, and of course they were accepted. To tell the truth, they were hungry and needed a square meal to brace them up for the coming ordeals of the year. As Roberts, ' 17, was a man of his word, he was there, Johnny -on-the- spot to superintend the movements of the waiters. The repast was done away with in great style and great credit is due to the committee who prepared the menu. It was, without doubt, the finest list of dainties ever placarded in the history of the school. Messrs. Morse, McCann, Anderson and Winn prepared the following menu : Bluepoints Tomato Bisque Chicken de la Creme Broiled Mackerel and Stuffed Peppers Mousse de Poulet Mayonnaise and Lettuce O ' Brien au Gratin Potatoes Cauliflower a la Touraine Creole Salad Diced Beets, Creamed Onions Brussels Sprouts and Chestnuts New England Green Goose Prime Vermont Turkey Strawberry Shortcake Frozen Pudding Crackers and Cheese Cafe Noir After the dishes were cleared away Toastmaster McClellan intro- duced Mr. N. E. Jones as the first speaker of the evening. Mr. Jones swayed his listeners almost at will with his eloquence, and his Rhapsody in G minor on the engineering course doubtless accounts for the great enrollment this year. Mr. Mullaney had a few words to say in regard 56 THE PICKOUT 19 16 to the fine preparation passed out by the neighboring high schools, and his startling statements on the matter had great effect on the audience. Mr. Matthews elucidated fully on the topic of Lowell Textile Spirit . He pleaded for the class to pull together on the road to learn- ing and to leave a reputation behind in Textile that would be impossible to surpass. Mike Locke felt a song coming over him; the Freshmen rose and joined him in singing the Alma Mater , and the. joyous evening was over.

LIBBEE WALTER BRAINERD AVILBUR BERRY ALBERT EVANS 84 t!)lctics Textile ' s athletic prospects appear much brighter than in former years. With our ever-increasing role of students, and with the spirit shown by the Freshman class this year, it will not be long before our school is represented by teams which will compare favorably with those of the smaller colleges. For instance, Football. This sport which dropped to such a point that it was hard work to get a team, much less a scrimmage, took a decided boost last fall. A fine representation came out from the Fresh- - man class, and with the veterans on hand a good team was developed. While the results of the games do not show a great deal, the improve- ment was there, and next year should bring it out more strongly. The eleven will suffer by graduation, but with last year ' s veterans and a new class to pick from, we should be pretty well represented on the gridiron next season. Hockey has been rather unfortunate in the matter of ice and has had little chance to show its real value. This year a team was formed around Captain Harris as a veteran, and it made a fine showing in the two games played. Beating Andover and tying Huntington School, is something to be proud of. As this year ' s team was composed mostly of Freshmen, we have a right to expect, that with proper conditions, we will be well represented on the ice next winter. Baseball needs very little discussion, although the outlook was clouded somewhat by Sturtevant ' s ailment. In Billy It McMahon we have a coach who will give us a team if he has the material to do it with. Baker, Sjostrom, Deady, Davieau, Hart, Powers, and O ' Connor compose the veterans on hand and reports state that there is some fine material in the Freshman class to pick from. Manager Tyler has arranged a good schedule of games, including several of the larger college teams and the Lowell New England League team. We should say, therefore, that baseball was well taken care of. The fact that Textile ' s athletic sun was on the rise was shown clearly last year. The baseball games between the Sophomores and the Freshmen and between the Chemists and the Wool men, were hotly contested. This year the Sophomore-Freshman football game was a surprise to many, for there was spirit there to burn. Class basketball has also been indulged in. The class that entered in 1915 brought with them a raft of athletic material and it seems to have awakened a desire among the fellows for better teams to represent the school. It has made our prospects look much brighter, and with another class added to the school we see no reason to fear for Textile ' s future status in athletics. Li 1 0 A 4Mter£ Floyd W.

The veterans present, led by Captain Powers, were Berry, Baker, O ' Connor, Deady, MacDonald, Dennett, Dimock, Sullivan, Morrill, Fuller and Libbee. The Freshmen presented a husky delegation, consisting of Winn, Ross, Pitman, Grout, Morrell, Hosley, Leonard, Hadley, Plaisted, Shepard, Davis, Holden, Brown, and White. Cecil Dodge, assisted by Jackson Palmer, took the squad in charge, and the outlook for the season was a bright one. The backfield was well supplied with candidates. Captain Powers was placed at quarterback of the first team, while Ross took charge of the second. Berry and Baker had the wire on the back positions, although Bake was troubled with his legs. O ' Connor, Winn and Morrell alternated in the third position, the place going to Winn, upon O ' Kie ' s shift to end. Morrell developed into a heady quarterback and should be there strong for next season ' s team. Libbee ' s speed was offset by his lack of weight, and accordingly he was not made a regular. Peabody was handicapped by his late arrival at school and by a bad ankle, but his weight and experience landed him a berth for the last few games of the season. With these men to pick from, a backfield which was strong offensively and defensively was assured. The line was a source of great competition. Fuller and O ' Connor guarded the extremities, and they had able substitutes in Dennett, Dimock, Brown and Hadley. MacDonald easily clinched one of the tackle positions, while Shepard landed high and dry in the other. Holden, Pitman and White were the runners-up here, and they will make fine material for next year ' s team. Lawrence, Leonard and Grout acted as guards, and this point in the line was certainly well protected. All three will be present next year. At center the honors went to Hosley, and he lived up to his rep in good style. There were many changes throughout the season, but the team considered the strongest by many was composed of: Fuller and Hadley, ends; Shepard and MacDonald, tackles; Leonard and Grout, guards; Lawrence, center (Hosley being out on account of illness); Morrell, 93 THE PICKOUT 1916 quarterback; O ' Connor and Baker, halfbacks; and Berry, fullback. Of this array Hadley, Shepard, MacDonald, Leonard, Grout, Lawrence, Hosley, Morrell, and Berry are expected back, and they will form the nucleus of a fine team. Good luck to the 1916 eleven! Lowell Textile was defeated Saturday, October 16, by the strong Groton eleven, by the score of 29 to 0. It was Textile ' s first game of the season, and considering the weight handicap, the team made a very creditable showing. The Groton team presented a heavy line and a fast backfield. Their play was very open, end runs and forward passes being very prominent factors in their victory. The Textile team showed flashes of real football, and the work of Hosley, Fuller, MacDonald and Shepard, in the line, was an eyesore to the Groton line-plungers. The local backfield were so much outweighed that their chances of gaining were minimized. The summary: Groton School Textile West (King), l.f. r.f. Brown (Dimock) Burden, l.t. r.t.

On October 23, Textile played a 7 to 7 tie with the M. I. T. ' 18 eleven. It was one of the closest contests ever seen on the campus. A strong cross-wind raised havoc with punts and forward passes, and 94 THE PICKOUT 19 16 straight football was the word. Technology ' s backfield was very fast, but could make little headway against our line, except in the second period, when, with successive plunges, they carried the ball over for a touchdown. Textile ' s score came in the third period and was the result of straight line-bucking. The fourth period was a fierce one, and both sides tried hard for another score, but it was not to be. The game ended with the ball on Textile ' s 15-yard line. The summary: M. I. T. ' 18 Textile Jones, I.e. r.e. Fuller (Dimock) Parson, l.t. r.t. Shepard Appleton, l.g. r.g. Leonard Hall, c. c.

Leonard, the husky guard, played three periods with a broken nose, and Hosley the whole game with a strained back, received in the previous game. Vanderlick, the Gushing halfback, showed to great advantage, both on the offense and defense. His three touch- downs were the result of plunging. Berry and O ' Connor played fine football throughout, and with a little better assistance from the line, 95 THE PICKOUT 1916 would have made the score 27 to 12, at least. Skip Hadley in his first game showed up as a fine prospect for the future. The summary: Cushing Textile Rossman, I.e. r.e. Fuller (Brown) Jordan, l.t. r.t. Shepard Colby, l.g. r.g.

The Textile eleven met defeat, November 6 ,at the hands of the Tilton Seminary team, 6 to 0. Tilton had a fairly strong front line, and a fast, rangy backfield, in which Judkins, the right halfback, excelled. Baker was easily the star of the Textile eleven. Time after time he was given the ball, and each time he ripped up the line or shot around the end for material gains. Tilton ' s touchdown came as the result of an intercepted forward pass, and then steady line-plunging. Textile came back strongly in the second period, carrying the ball to Tilton ' s 5-yard line, only to lose it on a fumble. The last two periods were bitterly contested, but no further scoring was done. The game ended with the ball in Textile ' s possession on Tilton ' s 18-yard line.

On November 13, Textile scored its only victory. Lawrence Academy was the victim, and the score was 20 to 7. The Textile back- field ripped up the opposing line time after time for substantial gains, Berry especially shining. Leonard, Grout and Shepard formed a combination which the Academy backfield could not penetrate. Law- rence ' s score came in the last two minutes of play and after the second team went in. The Textile team, as a whole, followed the ball well, and as a result a blocked kick and a fumbled punt resulted in touchdowns. The third score came after an exchange of kicks and some line-bucking by Berry and Baker. Berry kicked the two goals. The summary: Textile O ' Connor (Dennett), I.e. Lawrence, l.t.

The High School team presented a stocky line and a light, speedy backfield. In their backfield Lynch and Liston stood out prominently, their speed and their ability to pick their holes and follow interference making them especially dangerous. Their line played clean, hard football and was a source of trouble to the Textile backs. Their touchdown came as the result of forward passes which brought the ball to the 5-yard line. Liston then plunged through for the score. Roane failed to kick the goal. On the Textile side the line did not live up to expectations. Their play was high, and the High School backfield made material gains through them. Lawrence, at center, and Morrell, at quarterback, worked well together, and due credit must be given to Shucks for his playing in a new position. Leonard ' s game was strong and steady, and upon his removal, due to injury, the team was materially weakened. Baker, Berry and O ' Connor played their usual fine game, and the credit of the tie is due to their wonderful defensive work secondary. Textile ' s score was also the result of a forward pass and some straight line- bucking by Baker and Berry. Berry scored the touchdown. Morrell ' s kickout fell short, and the score was tied. Despite the rivalry existing between the two elevens, the game brought out cleaner sportsmanship than in former years. The officials handled the game in an efficient manner, and a good game was the result. The summary: Lowell High Liston (Leal), I.e. McLeod (Greenberg), l.t. McManmon, l.g. McAdams, c. Quinn, r.g.

Simpson Deady Baker Gunning Tyle Hart Davieau Sturtevant O ' Brien Sjostrom Harris BASEBALL TEAM 33a0tbaII Textile 2; Malden High 1 In the first game of the season, April 7, Textile defeated the Maiden High School team, 2 to 1, in a fast, well-played game. The score up to the last half was 1 to 1, when Sturtevant doubled to left, and scored on O ' Brien ' s single to center field. Sturtevant showed rare form, on such a cold day, allowing but one hit and striking out eight of the visitors. Lawrence Academy 7; Textile Lawrence Academy came to Lowell on April 10 and won handily by the score of 7 to 0. The Academy boys bunched their hits, and Harris relieved Sturtevant in the sixth inning. Murray kept the Textile hits scattered and struck out thirteen batsmen. Baker and O ' Brien supplied the hitting features with two fine doubles. Textile 7; Manchester High 5 On April 14, Textile was returned a winner over Manchester High, 7 to 5. Manchester battled all the time, but strong batting by O ' Brien, Davieau and Hart put the game on ice. The feature of the game was Hurley ' s home run, the ball sailing cleanly over Kitson Hall into the oval. Groton School 7; Textile 3 Textile journeyed to Groton on April 17 and was defeated, 7 to 3. Harris pitched, and the winners had little trouble in solving his delivery. Deady featured, getting two singles and a three-bagger. St. Anselm ' s 10; Textile 6 In a hard hitting game at Manchester on April 20, Textile lost to St. Anselm ' s College, 10 to 6. Both Harris and Humamn were pounded hard; four two-base hits, four three-baggers, a home run and twenty -one singles being the count against them. Deady, Davieau and Baker led the onslaught for Textile, while Twitchell, Flynn and Donovan starred for the home team. Textile 5; Holy Cross Freshmen 4 On April 23, the Holy Cross Freshmen were our opponents. At the close of the fifth inning the score stood 5 to 4 in favor of Textile. The visitors then wished to leave the field to catch a train, but finally decided to play. In the first of the sixth they made four runs, and then left the field. Umpire Coughlin reverted the score to the end of the fifth inning and declared Textile the winner, 5 to 4. It was decidedly a farce. 101 THE PICKOUT 1916 Exeter Academy 20; Textile 1 April 28. Forget it! In six innings of circus baseball, Exeter that day toyed with the Textile team. Goodell ' s delivery was easy picking for the Academy team, and they fattened their batting averages in fine style. Baker scored Textile ' s run and thus saved us from a whitewash. Cushing Academy 6; Textile On May 1, our team lost to Cushing Academy at Ashburnham, 6 to 0. Ham Harris pitched fine ball, but errors and the breaks in luck favored the other side. Textile made eight clean hits, but Clancy kept them scattered, and they went for naught. Textile 7; St. Anselm ' s 6 On May 5, St. Anselm ' s came here for their second game with Textile, and were beaten 7 to 6, in thirteen hard-fought innings. The Manchester team evened up the score, at 6 to 6, in the eighth inning, and it stood there until the thirteenth. In that inning Baker got on base through an error; Sturtevant sacrificed; Deady singled to right field, sending Baker to third base; Sjostrom walked; Hart then came through, and his single over second base scored the winning run. Sturte- vant pitched a fine game. Tilton Seminary 3; Textile On May 8, Textile lost to Tilton Seminary, 3 to 0. Our men could do little with the delivery of the opposing pitcher. Sturtevant pitched well for Textile, but errors and weak hitting nullified his efforts. Davieau and Baker kept the score down through remarkable fielding. Textile 5; New Hampshire State 4 But Goodell pitched Textile to a win over the New Hampshire State team on their field, May 12. It was a closely contested game. The heavy hitting of Harris, who made a home run and two doubles, aided materially in winning. Baker was also strong with the stick, making four hits out of four times at bat. Dean Academy 16; Textile 1 May 15. Remember the Exeter game. Here ' s another. Dean took our team into camp that day and tossed them in a blanket. The score was 16 to 1. Goodell was in poor form and his delivery was pounded in great style. Sjostrom scored our one run. Textile 3; St. John ' s Preparatory 2 On May 19, Sturtevant and McClellan had a pitchers ' battle on the Textile campus and Sturtie was returned a winner, 3 to 2. The count 102 THE PICKOUT 19 16 up to the sixth was 2 to 2, when Davieau ' s two-bagger, Sjostrom ' s scratch hit and a passed ball sent Textile into the lead. Davieau took the honors in hitting, while Baker copped the Ingersoll in fielding. Textile 4; Tufts Freshmen 3 On May 22, it took twelve innings for Textile to defeat the strong Tufts Freshman team, 4 to 3. Tufts made three runs in the second inning on two doubles, a single and a base on balls. Textile got one in the first on a home run by Deady. In the third, two more came across on two doubles and an error. There was no further scoring until the twelfth, when Baker doubled, went to third on the throw in, and scored on Deady ' s single to center. Sturtevant struck out eleven men.

As we have to depend quite a little on the talent of the Freshman class, and as we have to write this before we see them perform, we must take their ability for what they say it is. As a result, the team, that was expected, in October, to be made up of Freshman stars, is usually kept on its feet by the spirit of the upper-classmen. This year, with a Freshman class of around eighty members, things should be different. If we could put a little spirit into the class, a fine baseball team should result. It is up to them to come out and try, for the baseball schedule was made up this year with the under- standing that there was good material to be developed. At the present time there seems to be no doubt that we will have a good catcher this year, and probably two. Winn and Hadley are men of natural ability in this department and we need them both. In previous years this has been the big gap to fill, and everyone who under- stands baseball will realize the handicap the team worked under. In regard to pitchers we have been very unfortunate. At the present time only one man is on hand who has had any experience. Bill Morrill has apparently left school, which is to be regretted, as he was expected to do his share of the mound work this year. The old, reliable Sturtie has been made to take the count by his appendix, and those who have played with him for the last two years know what we have lost. Accordingly, a pitcher will have to be developed from the new material, and everybody that can throw a ball is wanted out. In the infield we are more fortunate, as there seems to be plenty of material. Baker, Sjostrom, Harris and Deady of the old men, and Harlow, White, Jones and Todd are known to be out for positions. There is no doubt but that we will have a smoothly-working infield and anything will be done to get it. Each candidate should remember that no position is clinched and should not be afraid to try out against any fellow, whether he be Senior, Sophomore, or Junior. For the outfield we have from last year ' s team Davieau and Hart. Both played fine ball for us last year and as much is expected of them this year. There is a good chance for the other men here, and if you can field at all, come out. The coach will teach you how to bat. 10-t THE PICKOUT 19 16 The schedule is harder than usual, as we are trying to get out of the high school class. Accordingly, in order to hold up the name of the school we must be represented by a good baseball team this year. If we expect to win the majority of our games we will have to work and work hard. Now here is a chance for the help and spirit of the Freshman class to go a long way. We have a new coach this year as capable as any in the past, barring none. Mr. McMahon has signed up and there is no doubt but that, if he is given the proper support he will put the L. T. S. on the baseball map. Full of snap and pep, there will be no loafing on the field, as has been the case in previous years, and, as before stated, the best man gets the position. The principle of playing favorites was employed last year, and for results see last year ' s record. So, fellows, it is up to you whether we have faster baseball at the school or whether we return to high school games again. Come out and get into the game. Decide which position you want to play and go after it like a tiger. Put all your spirit into it, and even if you do not make the team you can at least say to yourself, Well, he had to go some to get it, anyway. Let no obstacles interfere with what you are after, and we will venture to say that you will be the man who is chosen for the coveted position. Come out and do something, anyway, so that you will have something to look back to ten or twelve years from now, and not merely have to say — I went to Lowell Textile School. 105 William Baker L. W.

The team made a remarkable showing, for they had had no practice on the ice whatever, and were handicapped by the inclemency of the weather. Anderson, the Textile left wing, made the first goal for Andover by ac cidentally pushing the puck through the Textile goal. R. C. Hadley and Plaisted then came through and registered three points for us, the former getting two of them. Just before the close of the period Shedden slipped one by Plummer for Andover ' s second score. The second half brought out some speedy playing and it was due to the fine work of Skip Hadley and Capt. Harris that Andover ' s score was kept down. Wanamaker ' s goal made the score 3 to 3, but a fine shot by R. F. Hadley put the game on ice for Textile. The summary : Textile Andover Anderson, l.w. r.w. Mitchel Lawrence, c. c. Shedden (Ross) R.

The Boston squad was rated as one of the best teams in this section, and the fact that the Textile team held them scoreless, was a great victory for our boys. Burquest, in his first (Textile) game as goal tender, gave a fine exhibition of how to play that difficult position. No less than twenty difficult shots were blocked by him. R. F. Hadley and Plaisted also played well. The summary: Textile Huntington School Anderson, l.w. r.w. Collinson Lawrence, c. c. Bell R. F. Hadley, r.w. l.w. Jewell Harris, r. r. Hagan R. C.

Considering the condition of the grounds and the weather, it was the best game seen on the campus for some time. The snow made the footing very uncertain, and was the cause of many fumbles. The Freshmen, especially, were losers upon this factor. The Freshmen entered the game as strong favorites, and while they did not win, they lived up to their reputation. The ball was in Sophomore territory a good part of the game, and only for costly fumbles the joy might have been on the other side. The Sophomores ' line was weak but showed great aptness for following the ball, recovering many fumbles and often saving their goal line. Berry was stopped contin- ually, and the brunt of the ground-gaining fell on Pal Moore ' s should- ers. The boy from Lawrence surprised the crowd, and regret was expressed that he had not been a candidate for the regular team. Another player who ripped up the line time and again was Plaisted. At the be- ginning of the second period he was shifted from guard to fullback, and the Sophomore line was powerless before his onslaughts. He was ably assisted by Morrell and Shepard. On the Sophs ' side the credit of the victory goes to the backfield and the center. Morris ' pass was perfect, Sullivan handled the ball perfectly, and Berry was there with the kick. The Freshman team deserved to win, for they played strong, steady football throughout. Their line was almost impregnable and was the cause of Berry ' s frecjuent punting. In the backfield, Plaisted, Morrell, Davis, Winn and Ross, played football which in most cases would have brought home the bacon . But, result was: Sophomores 3, Freshmen 0. Note : Frequent comment was heard, that if those men who played in the game, had reported for practice every night during the season, Textile would have had some team this year. FIRST PERIOD Morrell kicked off to Berry on his 25-yard line. Berry ran the ball back ten yards. Moore made two yards through right tackle. Fresh- men were penalized five yards for offside. Berry made five yards on 111 THE PICKOUT 1916 skin end. Brainerd was thrown for a loss on the next play, Berry punted to Morrel on his 30-yard line. Freshmen could not gain and Davis kicked to Sullivan on his 30-yard line. The Sophs could not gain and Berry punted to Ross in mid-field. Using the forward and lateral passes, the Freshmen brought the ball to the Sophs ' 20-yard line. Morrell made a yard through center. Davis fumbled and Sutton recovered. Moore made eight yards but fumbled on the tackle, Morrell recovering. Winn made four yards but a five yard penalty for off-side play put the Freshmen back. Davis added five yards. On a hidden pass and skin end play, Brown brought the ball to the 4-yard line. Winn added two and time was called. SECOND PERIOD The ball was put in play on the Sophs ' 2-yard line. Davis fum- bled and Dennett recovered. Berry punted to Morrell in center field. Ross was thrown for an eight yard loss. Freshmen could not gain and it was Sophomore ' s ball on downs. Berry and Moore alternating on five rushes advanced the ball eleven yards. Berry punted to Ross in Mid- field. Davis returned the kick to Sullivan on the 15-yard line. The Freshmen line held strongly, and Berry was forced to punt again. Morrell brought the b all back fifteen yards to the 45-yard line. A forward pass, Morrell to Davis, netted thirty yards, but a few minutes later it was Sophs ' ball on downs. Brainerd made two yards through center and Moore added five on a skin tackle play. The period ended with the ball in Sophomore territory. THIRD PERIOD Changes: Plaisted for Morrell; Morrell for Ross; Ross for Brown; Brown for Plaisted; Dimock for Brainerd; Brainerd for Moore. Berry kicked off to Plaisted on his 45-yard line. A five yard penalty put the ball on the 40-yard line. Winn was thrown for a one yard loss. Plaisted made first down on two rushes. Davis and Winn made but six yards on four downs. Sophs ' ball. McCann (playing for R. C. Hadley) threw Libbee for a four yard loss. Moore tore through right guard for ten yards, but on the next play failed to gain. A fifteen yard penalty was inflicted on the Freshmen for piling on. Berry made two yards on two rushes. Sophs were put back five yards for offside play . Moore tore through to the 20-yard line, but fumbled on the tackle, 112 THE PICKOUT 1916 Shepard recovering the ball. Davis and Plaisted ripped up the Sophs ' line for twenty yards on four rushes. Winn made two yards through right tackle and Plaisted added four. Davis failed to gain, and it was Sophomore ' s ball in mid-field. The Sophs could not gain, and Berry punted to Davis, who signalled for fair catch . Moore tackled Davis, and the ball was put in play on the 50-yard line. Plaisted tore through left guard for fifteen yards. The period ended with the ball again in Sophomore territory. FOURTH PERIOD Ball on the Sophs ' 45-yard line. Plaisted fumbled, and Dennett recovered. The freshmen line held fast, and Berry was forced to punt. Brainerd threw Davis on the latter ' s 10-yard line. Davis lost five yards, Sullivan intercepted a forward pass and was thrown by Hadley on his 55-yard line. Moore made a yard and Berry added two. A forward pass, Sullivan to Moore, brought the ball to the 35-yard line. Moore and Berry in successive rushes brought the ball to the 10-yard line. The Sophs were penalized for holding and the ball was put in play on the 25-yard line. Sullivan and Berry prepared for a placement. Morris ' pass was beautiful, Sullivan ' s handling of the ball was superb, and Berry ' s shoe sent the ball over the crossbar for the only score of the game. Play was resumed. Berry kicked off to Plaisted. The latter was downed on his 40-yard line. Davis and Morrell added five yards on two rushes. A forward pass was intercepted, and Morrell resorted to an onside kick. The play was successful, and it was Freshmen ' s ball on the Soph ' s 30-yard line. A forward pass, Morrell to Hadley, advanced the ball nine yards. On the next play Plaisted fumbled, and Sullivan recovered. Berry punted to Morrell on the 50-yard line. Using the lateral and the forward pass, the Freshmen put the ball on the Sophs ' 25-yard line. Morrell tried for a field goal, but the ball went outside the posts. It was Soph ' s ball on the 20-yard line. Berry punted to Davis, who fumbled on the 45-yard line, Roberts recovered. Berry punted again, and with the ball in mid-air the whistle blew. 113 THE PICKOUT 1916 The summary: Sophomores Freshmen Dimock (Brainerd), I.e. r.e., Brown (Ross MaeDonald, l.t. r.t., Shepard Roberts (Holden), l.g. r.g., Pitman (White Morris, c. c, Hosley Ashworth, r.g. l.g., Plaisted (Brown) Sutton, r.t. l.t., R.

Sunbury stood on the crossbar, and the Sophs gathered around the post, beneath him. The Freshies rushed from the 20-yard line. Wells, of the Freshmen, got up on the crossbar, but Sunbury stood on him and kept him in submission. Underneath was a wild scramble. The freshmen fought tooth and nail, but the Sophs, were determined to make a day of it, and at the conclusion of the allotted three minutes, the flag was still afloat. 114 THE PICKOUT 1 9 1 G aiumnt § mofeer Assembly Hall October 6, 191G Under the Auspices of Alumni ©mtcron $( Bance Vesper Boat House December 4, 1915 Committee Norman P.

Editor Class Editoi — 191 (i Class Editor— 191? Class Editor— 1918 Art Editors Fraternity Editors Athletic- Student Censors Textile ' s Alumni Where is Textile ' s Alumni? A student at the school would hardly know that there was such an organization. Yet there is, for they hold a banquet in Boston each year. But, our only conclusion is that the school is not on their visiting lists. We never see them around the school, we very seldom have a chance to meet them, and consequently we lose a great deal that might be useful to us after graduation. Now are we, the student body of the school, to blame for the lack of energy in the Alumni? Do we do anything to try and bring the graduates back to the school? We have our Textile Show each year, and we have our athletics. But they are not sufficient. Therefore, it is up to the classes following us to do something to bring the Alumni into closer touch with the student body. Where we have failed, perhaps they can succeed. One plan which has been suggested and one which has met with hearty approval is this one. Let the Alumni hold their Smoker at the school, say in October. In November, let the Instructors get together and hold a smoker, having the Alumni and the student body as their guests. In December, January and February, let the three fraternities have a smoker apiece, and in March the non-frat men could hold one if they desired. Now this seems pretty good to us. The expense of such a time would be almost negligible to the individual, and think of the results. With the Alumni, Instructors and the student body coming in contact 124 THE PICKOUT 1916 with each other every month, a decided strengthening of the spirit would have to result. Even if this plan was followed for one year, other plans for the same object could be laid out, and the point of these smokers would have been gained. Of course there are other plans which might work just as well, but some one must take the initiative in this idea, and as a starter we believe this idea is a mighty fine one to follow. Now, as to the Alumni itself. We all know that the future of the school depends upon the success of its graduates. If they knock the school it is going to hurt it a great deal, but if they boost the school it is going to help it wonderfully. It is the duty of the graduates to talk the school continually, especially those who are doing well in the world. It is our duty to talk it also, but how can we if we never come in contact with our Alumni? We can tell nicely what it is doing for us while we are in school, but if some one should say to us, What are you going to do after graduation? or, What lines do the Textile graduates enter into? we could not give a satisfactory answer. The Catalogue, it is true, gives a list of the graduates and what they are doing, but we don ' t carry a Catalogue around with us all the time. If we could come in closer contact with the Alumni, and learn from them what they are doing, and what lines offer the best chances for a fellow just starting out in the world, we could then give a very satisfactory answer to a prospective Freshman. Oh, Textile Alumni, awaken from your sleep! Show a little life. Boost the school. Call around and see us once in a while, at least. You held an Alumni Smoker at the school last fall, but there were more Instructors there than there were graduates. Yet the Catalogue shows that over one hundred of you live within easy reach of Lowell, by means of the electric cars. If we are to blame for your laxness, we will do our best to remedy it, and if you yourselves are to blame, it is up to you to start something. In closing, it is our sincere wish that the Class of 1916 be the leaders in the rejuvenation of the Alumni. Editor Textile Training The Textile men of to-day must be trained men. The demands of the time are for men with the ability to work things out, not through a mass of memorized formulae, but by means of solid, comprehensive 125 THE PICKOUT 1916 reasoning. Furthermore, the man who can reason and reason quickly, is the man who gets the position. That is why we have textile schools to-day. The aim of our school is to develop this power of reasoning to as great a degree as possible. It seemed to some of us in our Freshman year that we were making slow progress; that some of the matter given to us, while not useless, was unnecessary and a waste of time. As we stand now, however, we realize the benefit of that training and wish that we had gained more from it. Oh, Freshmen, we are not preachers, but we should like to give you one piece of advice. Get the funda- mentals, and the rest will come easily. If you fail to gain the latter, the efforts of the school to develop the aforesaid reasoning power, are nullified, and your own efforts are useless. Textile Anti-Feeling It is an accepted fact that in the city of Lowell there is a decided feeling against the Textile students. At one time this feeling extended even to the school itself. This animosity is now gradually disappearing, and will in the course of time die out entirely. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the doings of former Textile students still rancor in the memories of the public, and that it would take but little to arouse their antipathy again. Our school, to-day, is an institution which any city would be proud to have within its borders. The size and the student body of the school is growing constantly each year. The name of the school is spreading over the country, and it is now placed at the head of all textile schools. The number of commuters shows plainly how its standard is estimated in Massachusetts. Therefore, it is not right that there should be such an antagonistic feeling in Lowell. It is not right that the school and its future in-coming students should be so handicapped. Accordingly, it is up to those present in the school to try and alleviate this feeling. Let every student, whether he is in a theatre, on the street, or elsewhere, act like a gentleman. If this is done, Lowell Textile will receive the honor it rightly deserves : its students will be warmly wel- comed, and instead of being jeered, they will be looked up to as Textile men. 120 THE PICKOUT 19 16 The Effect of a Dormitory on the School Spirit An axiom: Textile school spirit is very poor. Two reasons for this are, first: that the student body is divided into four factions, the three fraternities and the non-frat men; secondly, the fact that we have so many commuters. Now, the question is, if a dormitory was built, and the price of the rooms was made so low that the fellows could not afford to remain out of it, would it not improve the school spirit? We will consider the effect upon our four factions first. At the present time each Frat has what is called the Fraternity House , and at that place all their gatherings take place. Now, while each fellow is strong for his fraternity, there is no bad feeling between the Frats whatsoever. Therefore, we believe that if certain parts of the proposed dormitory were set apart for the benefit of the three fraternities, and for the non-frat men, better spirit would result. During the time of their meetings and their initiations, each fraternity ' s section could be regarded as private, but on all other occasions it would be all one large house. From a natural course of events, it is to be assumed that being thrown together so much would develop among the fellows a more friendly spirit and a better organized student body. As to the commuters. It is plainly evident that their school spirit would become stronger if they were to remain in Lowell all the time. And we assume, that if the price was made cheaper than the cost of commuting, a great many of them would be pleased to stay here. The fellows probably have plenty of spirit, but the nuisances of chasing trains, late suppers, and loss of studying time, kills a great deal of spirit. Now if these fellows were housed in the same house with the rest of our crew, and instead of chasing trains, had only to cross the street, don ' t you believe that our athletic teams, the school social life and the school spirit would benefit? You may think we are premature in our idea of a dormitory, and we may be, slightly; but don ' t think for a minute that it is not coming, and when it does come, just call around and see for yourself the effect on the school spirit. 127 THE PICKOUT 1916 Upstream Every year the question of Upstream is unsettled until the last minute. The committee in charge of the affair is obliged to expend tremendous efforts in order to insure the day. Why this should be is a mystery. Upstream Day is the day in the school year that the Instructors and students meet as pals . It is the one day in the year when all formality is dropped and everyone is on even ground. It is a day of freedom from study, of recreation, and one that leaves pleasant memories in its wake. Then why all the needless discussion? There are very few fellows in Textile who have any excuse for not attending Upstream . The price does not flatten the pocketbook, and it is not an affair that in- volves the extra expense of a dress-suit and a taxi . The excuse of expense is bad enough, but the previous engagement alibi is the limit. The date for Upstream is set far enough ahead to prevent this excuse arising, and if such were not the case, how many fellows in Textile have such important engagements that they cannot be changed to a later date. Accordingly, let us do away with excuses and get down to solid facts. Let us resolve, that when the call for Upstream comes, we all rise in a body and immediately guarantee its financial success. With this fact settled the committee in charge will have something to go by and the actual success will far exceed that of former years. All up, therefore, for 1916 Upstream Day! 1-28 Up Stream ©ap Upstream last year was a grand success in spite of the rain. The day dawned clear and fair. Everyone looked forward to a pleasant day. The car left the school at eight o ' clock, in charge of Conductor Farnsworth. The run to Tyngsboro was quickly made and upon arrival at the square the chain-gang was formed and the march to the grounds taken up. The first event on the program was the Sophomore-Freshman baseball game. L. Woburn O ' Connor and Ashworth were the respective mound artists and O ' Kie had the better of the argument. Ashworth and Par ' Moore got their signals crossed and as a result the Sophs put across a win, 7 to 6. Rain cut the game to seven innings. Dinner came next and there was a rush for seats. Thanks to Mr. Sleeper, there was plenty of food (especially soup: for the rain filled the plates as fast as they were emptied). Almost everybody obtained sufficient, and those who failed to do so, laid in wait for supper and made good then. The usual food battle was absent and as a result the roughnecks were chuck full of excess energy. Shortly after dinner and during the rain, the Instructors-Seniors baseball game was staged. Lupe showed that when backed by such players as Cush , Stoddard, Herbie , Doc Smith, Walter and Charlie , he could still show the Seniors his heels. After the dust raised by Herbie ' s sliding and Walter ' s Texas leaguers had settled, the score stood 10 to 6 in favor of the Instructors. Incidentally it was noticed that Doc Smith was a little off form, but after seeing Bone- setter Reese, it is rumored that he may replace the Iron Man in the box next year. During the afternoon, the Sophomores showed the way to the Freshmen in both the relay race and the tug-of-war. The Chemists defeated the Wool Men 5 to 4 in baseball. Professors Perkins and Barker discussed Fords on the piazza. Henry Dick showed the crowd how they throw the irons in hold Hengland . Ham Barnes and But Goodell cleaned up in heavyweight wrestling. An ex- hibition of silent baseball was given by the degree men (Messrs. MacGowan, Cosendai, Rich, Lane, and Sawyer) and it received a fine hand. 129 THE PICKOUT 1916 After the card fiends and river fish had been rounded up, supper was called. First come, first served , was law, and the food dis- appeared like magic. Bill Wilcox was seen looking jealously at the rush for seats. Steve Smith was thrown for a ten-yard loss and his supper consisted of potato chips. Ask O ' Kie how he came out. About this time the rain let up for a few minutes and some of the fellows started for Tyngsboro. Upon their arrival at the railroad tracks the clouds opened up. Shaber made the White Mountain Express look like a freight train, in his wild dash down the track. Colby took Foster under his wing and soon stepped it off to the square. Pal took to the river, thinking it better to get wet all at once than gradually. The rest of the crew followed in Indian file, and they were a sorry-looking bunch. Wet clothes and cold atmosphere did not hurt the spirit, though, and the ride to town was far from being a dull one. Before breaking up, three cheers were given for the success of the day, and three louder cheers for the next Upstream Day. This is the first call for the Upstream team. Are you a candidate? 130 Cj)e Cejrttlc aiumnt Smoker On the sixth of October, about one hundred and fifty members of the Alumni, Faculty, and sudent body of our school, gathered to- gether for the annual reception to the Freshman Class. Royal White, a trustee of the school, was called upon, unexpectedly, to act as master of ceremonies, and he succeeded very nicely. After extending a wel- come to the Freshman class, he introduced as the speaker of the evening, Mr. John J. Rogers, Jr., Congressman from the Fifth District of Mass- achusetts. Mr. Rogers spoke briefly, confining his remarks to lines of advice. Three points upon which special emphasis was laid, and three which Textile men should notice we re: First, to learn business law, for your own good. There should be, and there is a demand for business lawyers, just as much as there is for full-fledged jurists. Mr. Rogers stated that the man who does not know business law today is on the wrong track. Secondly: Mr. Rogers advised us as to our life after graduating. His main point was, Do not expect an Agent ' s position as soon as you graduate. Be content to start at the bottom and work up. ' There is plenty of room at the top, he said, but there is more room for the fellow who works himself up. These words of advice were very well taken. Mr. Rogers ' third point was: Enter politics. He said, the House of Representatives today, is made up of sixty-four per cent, lawyers and only ten per cent, business men. The result is the business men are overruled in their desires. Mr. Rogers was warmly applauded as he finished his remarks. Mr. White then called upon Mr. Alexander Cumnock and as always Mr. Cumnock was given a fine hand. His remarks were along the lines of efficiency and also the progess in design. Mr. Cumnock talked in a practical tone and his remarks were well taken. Mr. Eames, was the next speaker and he simply gave a review of the social and industrial side of the school life. During the evening, card games and singing were indulged in. The guests, alumni and faculty lined up and each one of the student body met them personally. Refreshments were served and the gathering broke up at about ten o ' clock. 131 SHINE CUBBERLY FULLER MOLLOY futile A large and well-pleased audience attended the Textile Show and dance at Colonial Hall, on February 1 1 . This affair, which is the social event of the school year, was marked by the presence of many promi- nent people of city and state. , The show presented was a cabaret comedy in one act, entitled ' The Bromides , and written by William P. Goodale, ' 12. The play dealt with the amusing adventures of two Textile students, possessed of plenty of money, who had gone to New York to participate in the New Year ' s Eve celebration. Everything was going finely until the boys were relieved of their money by a confidence man, whose specialty was relieving college boys of their fathers ' hard-earned money. A mysterious detectuf interfered, however, and the boy ' s money was restored to them. Then they decided that there was no place like home and caught the first train back to their dear old Alma Mater . Tra cy Colby and Frank Molloy, as the two college boys, played their parts to perfection. Colby possesses rare ability as an actor and performed his part with an easy grace and natural confidence, while his singing was one of the hits of the show. Molloy made his initial appear- ance as an actor and gave a creditable imitation of a college boy who had more money than he knew what to do with. C. G. Vernon Sjostrom and Edward Ross, who took the parts of the two girl friends of the gambler, made an excellent impression. Allyn Morse made a typical confidence man and Kid Powers made a decided hit as a dancing girl in the cabaret. Pal Moore was the dispenser of the comedy, and his witty remarks and antics kept the audience in continuous laughter. Timothy Shine, as Luke Warm , a bellboy, and Henry Rooney as a waiter, gave fine impersonations of those two worthy adjuncts of every well-regulated hotel. The acting of Stanley Plummer was very good. Others who assisted in the success of the play were Shaber, R. T. Hadley, R. C. Hadley, Libbee, Morrill, Longbottom, Steigler, Merrill and Gooding. Mr. Goodale was the accompanist at the piano and introduced two of his latest song hits, My Fox Trot Wedding Day and What ' s the Use of Going Home . The cast of characters and the musical menu were as follows: 134 THE PICKOUT 1916 PEP McHENRY, the college boy with all the money Francis Molloy, ' 16 PIKE SEAWALL, his roommate and companion J. Thacy Colby, ' 16 A WAITER Henry Rooney, ' 17 MR. N. S GREEN ; a confidence man Allyn Morse, ' 18 MISS FLORENCE JONES, a friend of Green ' s C. G. V. Sjostrom, ' 16 MISS SADIE STEPPE, a tangoist Edward Ross, ' 18 MARY, the cabaret girl Walter Powers, ' 16 ARCHIBALK WHY, the boy with the comedy William Moore, ' 17 MR. ?, agent of the Watch and Ward society Stanley Pllmmer, ' 18 LUKE WARM, a bell boy Timothy Shine, ' 17 HOTEL PROPRIETOR Hyman Shaber ' 16 Men About Town: Deady ' 16, Hadley ' 18, Hadley ' 18, Libbee ' 17, Gooding ' 18, Gottesman ' 17, Menill ' 17, Longbottom ' 18, Steigler ' 17, and Morrill ' 18. Opening Chorus, introducing What ' s the Use of Going Home and My Fox Trot Wedding Day — Messrs. Colby, Molloy and Morse with chorus, When You Wear the Ball and Chain Around Your Ankle — Mr. Colby. Song, D ' Amour , danced by Mary himself — Mr. Powers. A Perfect Day , trombone and cornet duet — Messrs. Longbottom and Steigler. Operatic Rag — Messrs. Colby and Morse. The Vale of Dreams — Mr. Merrill. You ' d Never Know That Old Home Town of Mine — Mr. Gooding. Mother Machree — R. C. Hadley. Banjo-mandolin specialty, Hits of To-day — Mr. Libbee. The Fountain of Youth — topical song — Mr. Colby. I ' m Going Back to My Old Home Town — principals and chorus. Following a short intermission after the performance, dancing was enjoyed until one o ' clock, with Hibbard ' s orchestra furnishing the music. The patronesses of the evening were: Mrs. A. G. Cumnock, Mrs. A. G. Pollard, Mrs. J. J. Rogers, Mrs. F. S. Clark, Mrs. E. S. Hylan, Mrs. W. E. Hall, Mrs. H. A. Bodwell, Mrs. W. R. Moorehouse, Mrs. R. P. White, Mrs. A. Varnum, Mrs. C. H. Eames, Mrs. L. A. Olney, Mrs. E. H. Barker, Mrs. G. H. Perkins, Mrs. A. A. Stewart, Mrs. S. E. Smith, Mrs. H. H. Bachmann, Mrs. L. Cushion, Mrs. N. B. Reed, Mrs. E. B. Moore, Mrs. H. D. Smith, Mrs. H. J. Ball, Mrs. U. J. Lupien, and Mrs. J. Wilmot. The success of the show was due in a large measure to the efforts of Allen Fuller, manager of the show. The other members of the com- mittee were Francis Molloy, Norman Cubberly, and Timothy Shine. The ushers were Norman Cubberly, Leslie Lamprey, Lauriston Tyler, Howard Shepard, Homer Riggs, William Baker, George Putnam, James Irvine, and Carl Matthews. 135 THE PICKOUT 19 16 3L %. . alphabet A is for Albrecht, a Dutchman, you know, Who is trying his chemistry seeds to sow. B is for Bill and also for Bed — Bill says it ' s good for a tired head. C is Colby, who is always at ease While he is tickling the piano keys. He is the leading man in the Textile Show, And is a very good actor, as you probably know. D stands for Dave, who makes Wayland his home. His mind from his studies has no time to roam. E is for Edward, of whom you have heard, For his acting in the Show was simply superb. F is for Foster, a farmer of fame, Who has his foot in the social game. G you know Matty right hot from Tech, He ' s taking wool with Jack, by heck! H is for Harold, a chemistry shark, Who was used very much at Keith ' s for a mark. I is Industrial we all hate so much, I ' d rather learn English or, perhaps, even Dutch. J is Joe Garmon from Centralville, He ' s a little fellow but he ' s got a big will. K is for Kennedy, a boy of some note, He knows where Eddie keeps his goat. L is Lawrence or Ham, either one, He ' s a good designer and full of fun. M is Molloy, a Wool man of fame, As a society man he is not lame. N you know Norman, he surely can dance, The girls, I know, he can also entrance. O stands for Okey from Woburn High, He breaks more hearts than you or I. P is Kid Powers, a chemistry shark, Who also in sports has won his mark. 137 THE PICKOUT 1916 Q is for Quiet which Ted Cummings can be, But I know many others more quiet than he. He writes up the Pickout in which is my phiz, And collects all this poetry as part of his biz. R is for Roberts, a special, you know, He comes from down South where they never have snow. S is the Swede, I guess you know Sjosh, He was leading lady in the Show, by gosh ! T I must introduce you to Lauriston Tyler, When the girls are around, he ' s a very good smiler; But when they call him on the telephone, He hollers down, There ' s nobody home . U is Uncle Joe Wilmot, a weaver of fame, By his good-nature he has won quite a name. V is for Very bad, good or rotton, I hope this trash will soon be forgotten. W is the butcher whose real name is Winn, There ' s always a roughhouse whenever he ' s in. X, Y and Z have finally come, And as I have no names right under my thumb, I think I ' ll have to close this verse Before it begins to get much worse. Now if you don ' t like me as a third-class poet, You needn ' t tell me for I already know it. The boys call me Roger, The girls say I ' m a fusser; But Gertie fair, how does she dare? She always calls me Buster. 138 THE PICKOUT 1916 iLoSt i I surely am quite perplexed, And I would like to know If there will ever be a change, Or if it has always been just so. II For many times have I watched Every single year, But not once have I found it; So it is lost, I fear. Ill Yet to me it seems queer That it cannot be found, For in every place like this It often does abound. IV Once I thought I ' d found it; That it had come to stay; But something else soon appeared, And it did die away. V Perhaps you would like to know Of what it is I am speaking. It is the Spirit true For which I have been seeking. VI It is the loyal spirit That we find in every place, And I wish that here I might Meet it face to face.

A mighty crew are we. We ' re out to lick the Sophomores, And make some history. (2) One day they thought they had their chance. The odds were four to one, Oh, now ' s the time, they said to me, To make you Sophomores run. (3) And so began a football game, They played it in the snow; And how the game was played at all, Is something I don ' t know. (4)_ The score was nothing to nothing At the end of that first fierce half; At the end of the last period, We handed them the laugh. (5) Morris made a beautiful pass And Berry kicked the goal - The Freshmen ' s hopes came down like a kite That had suddenly filled with holes. (6) And so the Sophomores won the game, Which, according to all dope, Belonged to our dear Freshies, Who were formerly filled with hope. 140 THE PICKOUT 1916 (7) But, friends, do not grow weary, I have something else to tell, ' Tis the story of the flag-rush, In which we fought like h — 11.

(9) ' Twas arms and legs, and legs and arms; That ' s all that one could see ; We pulled and pushed, and pushed and pulled, And fought for victory. (10) At last we heard the whistle, The mighty fight was o ' er, And 1917 ' s banner Was floating at the fore! (11) The Freshies were a mighty crew, At least, they seemed to think so; But they ' re a bunch of grass-green boobs, And everybody knows so. G. 141 THE PICKOUT 1916 Cejrtiie iLitmrtcs Perk, the instructor in steam, Belongs to a Ford machine; He wastes more gas While holding his class Than used in his Ford, it may seem. Lup is a man with a mechanical mind, Does problems like a machine that you wind. He sure is no shirk, But delights in his work And can build houses of any old kind. Eddie Barker, instructor in wool, Is good at throwing the bull . His mind is elastic, His tongue is sarcastic, And you cannot get by without pull. That man there is Herbert Ball, Drawing gears upon the wall. He is mostly all Tech From his feet to his neck, And has Strength at his beck and call. Stewart is treasurer of the Textile A. A. Of financial matters he has much to say. He ' s a teacher of note, And the things I have wrote I ' ll remember to my very last day. Joe Wilmot is a man of much fame, For good-nature is his middle name, He delights to achieve What other men leave, And he does no two things just the same. 142 THE PICKOUT 1916 About Younger there ' s no misbelieving, That he ' s assistant instructor in weaving; He moves around slow, Never fast does he go Until it is time to be leaving. That instructor over there with grey hair Is Mr. Howker who comes from Saltaire; He knows much about wool, Whether it ' s half-blood or full, And can tell you all about the mohair. Plaiton is assistant in cotton, And one who will ne ' er be forgotten, For he helps you a lot If you know anything or not, Whether you ' re good or you ' re rotten. Lowe is assistant in wool, With knowledge of it he is full; You cannot swear If he ' s around anywhere, And his lectures are not full of bull . Now the languages that Gushing does teach us I don ' t think are just cream and peaches. German grammar is rotten, The French I ' ve forgotten, But the English o ' er all of us reaches. • Doc. Smith is the man, I should say, Who can lecture on a subject all day. To hear him talk On iron or chalk Makes you not want to go but to stay. 143 THE PICKOUT 1916 Charlie Jack teaches us to use drills. And if you would like to have thrills, Cut his class once a week, Then go up to him meek, And he ' ll debit you ten hours on his bills. I guess you know Mother MacKay, To whom Freshmen and Designers stray. His colors were lowered By a pretty, young co-ed, And he simply cannot keep away. The instructor in free-hand art, Is German around his heart; He likes the girls With pretty curls And hates from school to depart. To look at Stoddard you really would swear That he was really not all there. Although he is tall, He sure can play ball, And at chemistry he sure is a bear . Here is Bertie Bran, ' tis surely sad, For I think he has taken something bad. He has eyes like a hawk, Legs like tines on a fork, Yet his knowledge I wish I had had. You may think by the name of Sleeper That he surely must be a creeper. He keeps you on the go And hustles you so You dye your stuff a shade or two deeper. 144 THE PICKOUT 1916 Professor Olney has made quite a name By producing dyes that are nearly the same As the Germans produce, And I can ' t quite deduce Whether he or the school is to blame. Alexander Duncan Davis, B.T.E., Is a graduate of this school, don ' t you see? If he steps on a crack He will sure break his back, Then a new assistant there will be. Now Steve is a wise old guy, And just between you and I, Steve is a treat, And I will repeat, He ' ll discover something by and by. H. E. A. S. 145 THE PICKOUT 1916 % t 3 tV)er Let us stop and learn a lesson From the River that flows below. And let us follow what we learn As through life we go. It always rushes swiftly on, And never does delay : So always do what you have to do And never leave it for another day. It is full of swirlpools and eddies: Yet it does not seem to mind, For it keeps right on going And soon leaves them far behind. So if ever your life becomes confused, I would not stop to worry But keep your head and smooth things out; Then leave them in a hurry. It never stops to argue With things that are in its way. But swiftly keeps on moving, For to argue means delay. So if anything gets in your way, Push it aside without a word, For many times it is always best If you go through life unheard. So now let us always follow The river as it flows; And when in doubt of what to do Just watch it as it goes. And learn just what it does And how it does it too. Then go into life ' s battle And do the same thing, you. C. V. G.

When I studied hard at Chem And thought it was a perfect gem, Who showed me my mistake, ahem? Somebody.

When I first came in class to dye None knew more chemistry than I, Who was it showed me up, Oh, my? Somebody.

After weeks of Jacquard weaving And over warps and shuttles grieving, Who thought that I had best be leaving? Somebody. When I went up to take design And thought I knew it all the time, Who showed me the mistake was mine?

Somebody. 149 THE PICKOUT 1916 Ci)e 3Soofcs (Author ' s name withheld for the good of the service.) There is a rule in our school, Which never will die out. It belongs alone to Barker ' s crew And to many it is not new. It is a part of Howker ' s kit, In the book I have it. Jack Lowe, of it, is very fond; It came with him across the pond; And always you can hear him say, As one, before him, a problem lays: Oh, wait but just a minute, For in the book I have it. No matter whether it be comb or card, They have dope upon it, by the yard. And of gill boxes there are pages, All worked out by former sages. And in the place there is not a hook, But what they have it in the book. Should you say to Mister Lowe, Whom, so well, you all know, Is that one there the proper gear? He will answer with a leer. While with a far-off, dreamy look, He reaches for the well-worn book. But Johnny Howker takes the prize, For he is not so wondrous wise. He just travels in a rut, And when Eddie says, Who cut? Johnny answers like a crook, Wait until I get my book. 150 THE PICKOUT 19 16 Thus it is with those two men. Why they do it, we dinna ken . But we bet, when they to heaven go, There will be no pride or show. But the pass that will grant them golden nooks, Will be those two heroic Books . Mv JltU I hope you won ' t think me foolish, Or in any way unwise; If I should build a mill, Not small, but of any size. First, I will find a place On some river, or maybe on a hill. This mill should be of brick; One that will run, but yet stand still. The weave-room will be large, So there ' ll be lots of open space, So the looms will have a chance To run throughout the place. The loom will be able to reed, And handle its lay-sword well, For if the machinery should start knocking, What will happen, you never can tell. If the head motion should lose its bearings, And stab the warp until it bled; Would the picker stick? And the shuttle hide in its shed? 2 I hope you won t think I am foolish, And number me among the fools, If I should take the harnesses 151 THE PICKOUT 1916 And place them upon the mules. In the dyehouse, I think I ' ll have Some very handsome coffins, So the dyers will always have A suitable place to die in. In the finishing-room, Towels I think I will sell, So the washers will have a chance To dry themselves quite well. So as not to disturb the napper, I really do not know what to dew; Unless I extract the crabber, The shearer and presser too. What I ' ll have for the dressers, That I cannot plainly see; Unless it is a boudoir, But that can never be. For the combers will want a place In which to arrange themselves. And for a place to keep the combs I will have to build some shelves. So the spinners can play cards When the boss is away some day, I will have to get fifty-two So they ' ll be able to play. 3 So now, my gentle readers, If you have any suggestions to make, Just call around at my office, And your advice I ' ll surely take; For though my mill is built, To run it puzzles me now, So I think I must seek experience And have some one teach me how. S., ' 16 152 THE PICKOUT 1916 jSoftcftp Home (With apologies to H. A. M.) We shall meet but we shall miss you. There shall be ten vacant chairs, We will think while we are eating Of those ten young men so fair. When just three places are seated And the other seven gone; Our minds will often wander back To those fellows of whom we were so fond. Just eight months ago they came here, Study was in their shining eyes; But a golden cord has severed, And many studies to them died. We are speaking now of Johnnie, Who a man, he is, of degree, And we hope that he will prosper In anything he wishes to be. Next on our line comes Matty , Who we hope will graduate; With our best wishes that he may prosper In woolen: for that is his fate. Now comes Francis Henry, Who in studies he is not slack. And good wishes go forward That he may keep the narrow track. And now we will speak of William, A first-class Chemist we know. For when it comes to dyeing, There is nothing about him slow. 153 THE PICKOUT 1916 Next in row comes our Laurie , With a great many good marks, we believe, And this year while he is with us A diploma we hope he will receive. Now we are coming to Verner, He studies a great deal, they say, When he begins earning his own living He will find it really did pay. We are speaking now of Charlie , Who, we hope, will be back next year; They say he is thinking of going elsewhere, And will not return, we fear. Next on the list comes Tracy, A promising man, you can see. And we hope his future will not be marred As an engineer, which he wishes to be. We are thinking now of Boutwell, In his future we hope he will succeed, And in the village of old Tewksbury He will surely take the lead. And next we speak of McEnany, In his three years ' course of Design, We hope he will succeed in the future And be a man of qualities very fine. You have all been so diligent, That to one and all we wish success. We hope that nothing will mar the lives Of you youn g men and all the rest. We shall meet but we shall miss you, There will be ten vacant chairs. We shall often, often wonder What the title each one bears. 154 THE PICKOUT 1916 Conversation nt Hearti on tJje 9Srtlise The first post turned to the second post with a sigh: The Lowell Textile School opens to-day and soon our friends will be going by. ' That ' s right, said the second post, they will soon be on their way, and the old familiar faces will pass us day by day. I think I see some coming now, yet their faces are not familiar to me. They must be, said the second post, the Freshmen, I do believe. ' They certainly are some huskies and very attractive men. My! look at the crowd, there must be one hundred and ten. They are some noisy bunch and very fresh ones, too. I know, said the second post, but boys will be boys. So what are you going to do? Who are these two young men coming down the line, all dolled up and looking mighty fine? Oh, don ' t you know them? the first post did ask. Why, they lead some social life and find it no great task. You will find them at the Boat House every Tuesday night. But who can these two be just coming into sight? Those, said the second post, are two of ' Eddie ' s ' pets, and whether the tall one knows more than the short one is never one sure bet. My! what an awful noise I hear. That, said the first post, is an instructor in his limousine, I fear. Who is the tall, handsome youth? My! I believe he has lost his hat. Oh, no, said the second post, he goes by many times like that. Who is this tall one who sings where ' er he goes? Oh, that, said the first post, is the leading man of the Textile Show. My! can this be Cox ' s army coming down the street? No, said the second post, they are the same old commuters and they have added a few more to their beat. Who can this be coming, who thinks he owns the way? Oh, that, said the first post, is a second Vernon Castle, I think I heard them say. I guess they have all gone by to begin their steady grind. But who can this be lagging away behind? Oh, that big youth, said the first post, who walks as if he were dead? Why, that is the one who always rises late from bed. C. V. G.

Baker, Moving Picture Director, Lowell Textile School. Dear Sir: Having heard of your supernatural ability in the produ ction of vast scenarios, I would like a position in your present production which I understand will be even greater than that by Mr. Griffin. I have had five years experiments in scenario work, having helped in the Birth of a Nation, assisted Mary Pickford in Rags, and also took part in the Island of Regeneration. I have worked with other leading picture artists including Charlie Chaplin Eames, John Bunny Lowe, Lou-Tellegen Howker, Mary Pickerstick Wilmot, and other leaders of the movie world. I can do character work of any kind especially dare-devil, death- defying comedy. Hoping this application will make a favorable impression through that straw hat on your noble dome, I remain, Movingly yours, Joe Ambition YOU KNOW ME, AL Goodbye, book, I ' m through I ' m done with all proof-reading, And I say goodbye to you Without the least regret. I ' m done with dodging Arthur, No more of chasing Cush , And I bid you all adieu. Goodbye cuts, goodbye proofs, Goodbye, book, I ' m through. 158 Eddie may have Jack, low, but the engineers have high game. A BRIGHT CLASS Joe Wilmot: What is a Jaequard for? Class in a chorus: To weave with. THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED Farny studied thirty hours. Perk gave some one a ride in his Ford. Walter gave out samples at the storeroom. Barlofsky stopped talking. Foster cut a class. Eddie did not lose his temper. McClellan changed his necktie. Mullaney took his hands out of his pockets. Adams wore a hat to school. Farny sold the school. Seventy-five candidates out for the football team. Some one handed a write-up to the Editor without being asked or begged. The whole class was present in Physical Culture. No noise was heard in the Chemistry laboratory. L.T.S.A.A. safe was full of money. Garmon did all the work in Engineering laboratory. Stewart made his jitney a for Men only one. O ' Connor refused to eat at Page ' s. Colby passed around the cigarettes. 159 THE PICKOUT 1916 McCann stayed in one night. Albrecht stopped smoking. There have been no chalk-fights this year. The Freshies let the Sophs win. Eddie counted the teeth on the gears while the fellows sat down and smoked. Say, did you know that Mother was married. Gerrish took his sister (?) to the Industrial Exposition. Although Sherman said, War is h — 11 , that does not express what the finals are. Try Gott mit uns , in the German exam and see if it helps any. BARKERISMS, OR BARKS FROM THE WOOL COURSE Any questions for me? It ' s your misfortune and not our fault. What is the matter with you bright and shining lights? I ' m neither a chemist, nor the son of a chemist. Such foolish questions. With your estimable training, etc. Don ' t beg the question. That right, O ' Connor? All right, Cummings? All right, Davieau? That ' s my theory. Take it or leave it. I assume that you know this. I would not impose upon your intelligence by telling you that. To be continued in our next. You blushing violet! What ' s the use? What is the use? Now my little daughter, etc. No cat has nine tails: every cat has one tail more than no cat: therefore every cat has ten tails. Socrates was lying when he told the truth about men. Young Lady (to Plummer on Jewish relief day) : Don ' t you want to give something to the relief of your fore-fathers? Plummer put the quarter (?) back in his pocket. 160 THE PICKOUT 1916 One of Herbie ' s exam questions started off this waj ' : If a Ford weighing five tons ... It can ' t be done, Mr. Ball. Eddie: What do you mean by a double thread, Barlofsky? Archie: Two threads starting from the same point, on a circum- ference, 180° apart. The School ' s Valentine (to the students) : ' If you don ' t pay your tuition, today, out you go tomorrow. From the Lowell Sun: Among the many things which are hard to understand is why a man will shave everything else off his face and leave a little goatee on his chin. ANYTHING TO PLEASE When Davieau was initiated as a grocer, the Boss said to him: If you don ' t happen to have what a customer wants, why suggest something as nearly like it as possible. Soon a woman came in and said to Dave : Have you any fresh green stuff today? No madam, answered Dave , but we have some nice blueing. SOME LUMP She must have weighed two hundred pounds. She was learning to dance and had the misfortune to fall. Several people rushed to her aid but were unable to raise her at once. We ' ll get you up all right Madam, said one, soothingly. Don ' t be alarmed. Oh, I am not alarmed, she replied, but your floor is so lumpy. Then suddenly from beneath her came a voice, I ' m not a lump. I ' m Banty. GIVE ME SOMETHING DIFFICULT TO DO Fair Damsel (to O ' Connor) : Oh, Michael, the champion swimmer is to swim a mile tomorrow with a forty-pound dumb bell in his hand. Mike: That ' s nothing. Why I swam a mile and a half the other day with six of the ' Iron Factory ' biscuits in my stomach. 161 THE PICKOUT 1916 SUCH IS LIFE From a Lowell Newspaper after the Textile-Lowell High game The high school team played rings around the heavier and slower Textile eleven, and the representatives from Moody street were lucky to get a tie. Same Newspaper, before the All-Stars-Indian game. The All- Stars will be composed, for the most part, of the players from the fast and powerful Textile eleven. PLEASE DON ' T TAKE ME HOME Conductor: Come out of it, Mister. You ' ve got to change cars here. This car goes to the barn. Skipper: That ' s all right, old top. Go right ahead. I haven ' t milked a cow for a month, b ' gosh. I ' ll help you with the chores tonight. EASILY REMEDIED I like my house all right, said Deady to the architect, except for one thing. What is that? asked the architect. Why, responded Bill, when I get home at night, I nearly break my neck reaching for another step at the head of the stairs. I want you to put another one there. NO USE WASTING MONEY Tyler and Molloy entered a tobacco store. Have a cigar, Ty, said Hank. Sure, responded Ty . Hank bought two Pipins, handed one to Ty and went out to keep a date. Ty puffed for a while, then turned to clerk and said, Mister, you sell these six for a quarter, don ' t you? Yes, replied the clerk. Well, said Ty , handing out fifteen cents, give me the other four. 162 THE PICKOUT 19 16 SOLE POSSESSOR Mr. Wilmot (to Foster, who had a large bunch of yarn in his hand) : Here, sonny, there is enough there to tie up all the broken ends in the weave room. I know that, was the reply, they are all on my loom. IS ANY ONE HERE, ABSENT? And then Perk continued: The mixer mixed a mixture, which mixture the mixer mixed. Though the mixer ' s mixer mixed the mix- ture, the mixture mixed was nix. HOW BIG DID YOU SAY, EDDIE? Eddie: How big is a nep? Answering himself: Oh from as big as a house to the head of a pin. CHAMPION FEATHERWEIGHT Hadley: Hey, ' Pal ' , come on skating. The ice will hold you all right. Pal : Oh, I know that. I saw a sea gull walk across it. MAY I ENTER ? SAID THE WOODPECKER Doc Smith: In the process of making matches, how do they keep them from smouldering? Mullaney: Put them in water. ANNOUNCER: SJOSTROM WINS Eddie (to Sjostrom, whose answer to one of the problems was 2000 numbers out) : How long do you think you would last in a mill if you did a problem that way? Sjostrom {rather unconcernedly) : O, about two days. Eddie (peeved at the answer): ' Two days? Why, you wouldn ' t last half a day. Sjos : O yes, I would, Mr. Barker. It would take me two days to do the problem. MORAL If you have a nice, long pencil, keep away from Perk . He is making a collection of those little things. 163 THE PICKOUT 19 16 WHAT DO YOU MEAN, JACK? Molloy (taking a lecture in the French drawing room. Temp, at 90°) : Gee, this is the hottest place I will ever work in. Jack Lowe: Well, you will have to change your way of living then. WHAT THE Peabody (Walking into Farnsworth ' s room with a camera in his hand): Farny, I want to take a picture. Farny : Go right ahead. Peabody walks over, takes one of Farny ' s best off the wall and walks out. Result — a general rough house. NOWHERE ELSE, FARNY? In knitting: Mr. Smith, why is it that the hem on the top of a lady ' s stocking is always left partly open? Steve : Have you been making personal observations, Mr. Farns worth? Farny : Well, no. Not outside the family. MANY THANKS Pardon me, said a voice over the phone. ' This is Mr. Cubberly, Miss . Did I propose to you last night after we had a little Winer Miss : Yes, j ou did. Cubby : Er — what was your answer? Miss : What you might have expected, of course. Cubby: Thank you. I thought for a moment you might have accepted me. Wise-guy crack heard in the Chemistry department: Everything you see, you have to see it for the first time. THE FACULTY ' S PREDICAMENT To do, or not to do , in regard to the pool tables. 164 THE PICKOUT 191 6 PREPAREDNESS Just as Mr. Eames was showing some visitors around the Machine Shop, Mr. Jack shut off the power. The fellows disappeared like magic. Turning to Mr. Jack, one of the guests remarked smilingly, Do the boys drop their tools the minute the power is shut off? Mr. Jack: Oh no, not all of them. Most of them have their tools put away long before that time. Doc Smith : In what part of the body do we find phosphorus? McClellan: In the bones. Doc : Yes, but where else? Kingston: We find it in the eggs. NERVE Mr. Brann: Would you like to conduct the lecture, Mr. Powers? Kid : Oh, no, Mr. Brann. Go right ahead. You ' re doing pretty well. Do you recognize this? I ' ve got a disposition like a meat axe. IN ELECTRICAL LABORATORY Cubberly: Is my hat and coat in your way, Homer? Riggs : No, where are they? Cubberly: Well, you ' re sitting on my hat. SHAMELESS Sokolsky (to Mr. Perkins): Do they trust I-beams together? Perk : No, but they trust two Poles together. SIX MONTHS FOR TALKING TO YOURSELF Prof. Olney (to Lamprey) : What are you doing? Sleeping it off? DO YOU? Powers: Mr. Sleeper, do you have to use an acid with these dyes? Bobby : Well, you may have to use acetic acid if you want to. 165 THE PICKOUT 19 16 A CHEMIST IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ONE The co-eds of our school are the Misses Hazel Gilmore, Amelia Racicot, Ethel Ether, Polly Phase, and Jennie Rator. PADDED CELL Shucks Lawrence wants to know, If a fly took a ride on a motor, would the conductor take his fare? BROTHERLY LOVE Sokolsky answers and Barlofsky shakes his head negatively. Eddie : — - then the fibers are like a glorified Washington pie. FOOLISH QUESTION NO. How can Steve Smith tell in which direction to twist the cotton fibers? HERBIE TEACHES EFFICIENCY He thinks before he speaks, thinks while he is speaking, and thinks after he has spoken, and then changes his mind. NOTHING TO HOLLER ABOUT Ross: What was Pitman hollering about? Winn : Oh, I was trying to make him smile with a glove stretcher. And we heard them whisper after the wool exam: Gott strafe England. Steve Smith was observed staring at Vanity Fair. Wonder if it was the art that held him. Most of us would rather walk to a good dinner than own an auto and eat at Bill ' s . The law of Mechanism: If the temperature of hot air is kept con- stant, while the pressure in problems increases, the volume of students varies inversely. 166 THE PICKOUT 1916 MANCHESTER Eddie: Out here in North Chelmsford one of the mills paid a freight bill of $13,000 for wool. Colby: Was that for a year? Eddie: Oh, no. Colby: Well the Amoskeag doesn ' t have as big a freight bill as that. Eddie: Well, you see, they use a lot of cotton. CORRECT Mr. Barker: Where does the card get its stock? O ' Connor: From the scouring machine. Mr. Barker: The scouring machine? O ' Kie: From the sheep. Mr. Barker: O ' Connor, where does the sheep get its wool? O ' Kie (getting peeved): From Woolworth ' s I guess. Another instance where theory and practice clash. Mr. Balland Adams, in the efficiency class, discussed the effect of alcoholic liquors on the workman. POWER ' S THESIS The value of skunk oil in scouring. YOU OUGHT TO KNOW, KID Mr. Brann: There is not as much water in a liter in Europe as there is in the United States . Powers (in a stage whisper) : ; ' That ' s why we get more beer for a nickel than they do. Eddie : Come on, Gannon, don ' t beg the question and don ' t stall for wind. 167 THE PICKOUT 19 16 Bra i nerd Bake PalaIs DUtch StiegLer Ted SaM FendeL Ham Sturdie GotteSman kE n LlBBEE Bake SUnbury SOk SteveNs HYman I en MaCDonald Shucks TEd SHlNE Cubby MIke BIll BOut BouT RoONEY JohN SaM SHUCKS MOore JoE Sjos HOlden Ty PluMmer ArcHie Bake Woodie TracE Archie DavE Hart ShuCks JoE DEnnett Bout Soil Kid PaRker DAve Sjos BilL ROberts Cubby PImp dE Sa K.ID TracE MoRRlS SoK Roger A DAMS JOe SaNborn WOoDIE IrVi :ne PiMep RIggs EchmaL RiChardson FarnswortH fOj RSAITH HowaRth PU ' rNAM PerkinS 168 egi0ter of Alumni Abbot, Edward M.

GRANITEVILLE - MASS. 8 PICKO LIT ADVERTISEMENTS The Textile Industry of the United States leads the world in the production of low priced colored cotton fabrics of great merit and intrinsic value for the masses. vNE of the chief contributing causes for the large increase in the pro- - duction of colored cotton goods in the United States is the introduction of the Fast Colors. It was only a few years ago that customers were afraid to buy colored cotton goods, especially in light shades, such as Blue, Helio, etc., because the colors would not stand up under laundering and exposure to light. Those who purchased colored cotton goods bought chiefly the dark shades in the hope that the fading would be gradual. One of the advantages of colored cotton fabrics, besides being light and cool, is the feeling of cleanliness that comes from the fact that they can be laundered many times and without injury to appearance. Many bought white when they would have preferred colored goods, because they knew from sad experience that the colored effects were unsightly after a few launderings. When Indanthrene dyed cotton goods began to appear on the market a few years ago the trade was naturally reluctant to believe that a really fast color for cotton had at last been found, but the consumers gradually saw the difference and began to realize that colored cotton goods were really worth while, since they could be produced in colors which would practically out-wear the fabric. Gradually this fee ing of confidence grew in the minds of consumers generally with the result that a large impetus was given to the colored cotton goods trade. The end is not yet, but already America leads in the use of Fast Colors ; another reason why American goods merit the preference. BADISCHE COMPANY PICKOUT ADVERTISEMENTS A TURBO RECORD In 1 909 when the Turbo was not so well known, we took a contract, our first with a certain customer, for I 1 2 heads. One clause of the contract imposed by the customer provided that every head that became inoperative (he was afraid of clogging) he was to send back to us for cleaning and readjustment at no charge to him. That was in 1909. Just as a matter of gossip, the customer has never sent us one head. All his heads are still in operation, and he has since bought several thousand more. He is convinced. The initial performance did that. He knows now The Turbo Humidifier is the humidifier with the guarantee : — and that guarantee is worth some- thing; that the house behind the guarantee intends it shall continue to be worth something. He knows better yet that when it comes to trouble, more is avoided by the use of the Turbo than is taken on. Moreover he knows that the Turbo is made as fine as a watch and of almost as good material. And like a watch will stand an awful lot of specific abuse. The Turbo Humidifier is built on the service idea : — an interest in you long after your installation is paid for. Ask one of our customers what that means. It would sound better to come from him than from us. The G. M. Parks Company Fitchburg, Mass. 10 PIC KOUT ADVERTISEMENTS LEIGH BUTLER 232 SUMMER ST., BOSTON, MASS.
