Goldman, Member of Athletic Council Mentor Class $tstorj — Class of 1920 Our doings as Freshmen and Sophomores need but little reviewing. Like all beginners, we thought we had the best bunch of fellows of any class that ever entered our school. Whether we were the best lot or not is more easily determined by the record we have made. Let the doubtful investigate. Many of our first and second-year classmates, with a real true spirit, offered their services to the Government in its time of need. We surely did miss them after they had left us, and we often wished that they were back with us once again to share the honor of our victories and to help us bear the burden of our defeats. As Juniors, the class of 1920 continued to do the good work which it had started. In number we were about the same as the year previous, for we had lost but few men. These missing ones had become members of some branch or other of the service. 25 THE PICKOUT 1920 Upon our return to school we found that a new system had been arranged for us. Now, with the school under Government control, we were to combine military drill and study. This, of course, applied only to those who were members of the S. A. T. C. unit. The new program made it necessary to drop some of the studies from our regular schedule and to change some of the others. But the change didn ' t hold us up the least bit. We settled down to work and were soon accus- tomed to the new routine. It was not long before, living up to all our class tradi- tions, we were well underway and going strong when our studies again resumed the normal course. After the close of the war, we received our discharges and were once again ordinary students, ready to continue the regular course of study. At the beginning of the year 1919 we got back to the old grind. There was much work to be done in the remaining twenty weeks and everyone was well aware of the fact, or soon became so. But once going, nothing could stop us and, as a result, we all came through in good style. Interclass athletics were a sort of a side issue this year; baseball being the only sport on the program. We were beaten by the Sophs, but that didn ' t give us any cause for worry. You know you can ' t expect to win all the time. Had the other events taken place, we surely would have held our own with the best of ' em, as we had previously done. As we left in June, so we returned in September. There was but one difference: we were Seniors. We were now ready to shoulder a little more responsibility, to rely more upon ourselves, to dig deeper into the mysteries explained in books, and to work harder than ever before. Work , whether it was work in the class-room or on the athletic field, was a word which none of us feared. Now that we were Seniors, it was quite essential that we have a finger in the various school activities. We were well represented in athletics, and our men were to be found on the different committees in charge of the social affairs. Of course, we do not intend to imply that we alone were responsible for the success of these affairs, but, if you look into the matter, you will find that the 1920 spirit was there. So you will find us in all events: we ' re there either in person or in spirit. After three years, our football team was defeated. To be sure, it wasn ' t a bad beating, 7 to 6, but it was a defeat, and we admit it. We may redeem our- selves yet, since interclass basketball and baseball are still to be played. You may be sure that we will try our best to get our numerals on the mug before we depart. Now that the school year is fast drawing to a close, our remaining days at school are numbered. The days which we have spent here will not be soon for- gotten. They have been too pleasant. But the question is, When shall we be forgotten? Have we made a favorable impression upon the instructors and the student body? Let us hope that we have. Since our success in the future rests mainly with ourselves, let us continue to do our best; nothing more can be desired. 26 %r ' ft. f WQ E? 1 M If, m x ' V v V ' W l ! • First Row — Farley, Brandt, Huse, Morris, Parker, Russell Second Row — Radford, Mathieu, Quinlan, Forsaith, Burbeck, Wotkowicz, Brainerd, Zisman Third Row — Goldman, Powers, Johnston, Wells, Mulaney, Shulke, Phaneuf, Rice SENIOR CLASS THE PICKOUT 1920 GEORGE J. ALMQUIST SQTJIT Cotton Club 1, 2, 3 Tired of being the prey of mosquitoes and leaving New Jersey far behind, in the fall of 1916, a strapping blond youth, with an expression full of pur- pose, wandered through the portals of L. T. S. Soon we came to know him as George J. Almquist, better known as Squit . His faults, if any, were negligible; his good points were many. With the boys, he was admired by all and was undoubtedly the most popular man in his class. Not being blessed with the faculty of being a ladies ' man , Squit spent his spare time in picking on Brandt and rough-housing in general with his room mates — generally to their sorrow. (Smith will corroborate). All in all, George is a hard worker, an excellent student, and a fine fellow; and his employers are greatly enriched by having him in their service. RUPERT FRANCIS BILLINGS BILL PAT Alembic Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 Pickout Photographer Bill is a produc t of the same town that also boasts of L. T. S. What more can be said? Lowell surely produces great things, as the above proves. His greatest interest is in photography and photo-chemistry, but he ' s there in any chemistry subject as witness his record in his freshman year when he received the highest scholarship. His specialty, however, has been holding the championship for cutting classes, but since his right and left bowers , Berlin and Noone, have left, the game has lost its zest, and he seldom stays away from school more than a week without one short visit to see how the instructors manage to get along without him. Physical chemistry is his particular indoor sport at present, but when he leaves L. T. S. and begins to tell the world what he has learned up here, we predict that success awaits him. THE PICKOl ' T 1920 CARL DEWEY BRANDT CARL BRAXDT BRAXDIE Engineering Society 1, L 2, 3, 4 Pickotit 2. 3, 4 Class Football 4 A quiet youth, who, it is rumored, grew up in Chieopee Falls, came to the Lowell Textile School one day and signed up for an engineering course. Gosh , but that was a big day. Being of such a quiet nature his classmates failed to realize the presence of a genius in their midst until the third year. He always has the required work done on time and in ship-shape manner, carrying out his reputation as a genius in his methods of solution, which always require the least effort and work on his part. Note strongly that this is no symptom of laziness but is efficiency to the «th degree. Even his notes (cotton finishing ex- cepted) were brief, but sufficient unto himself. Brandt, being small of stature and weight, would not be expected to play football, but when the honor of the Seniors was challenged, he volunteered his services, and his famous run will always be a bright light in the history of the class, even though this did not net a touchdown and victory. Brandt and his never-failing principles should make a valuable textile engineer, and we can see nothing but a bright future ahead of him. CARL EMIL BRAINERD CUBBY Alembic Society 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Baseball 2, 3 Class Basketball 4 Class Football 3 He is the fourth of the clan of Brainerds to tackle the chemistry course at L. T. S., and he certainly has held up the family ' s reputation for bringing home the bacon . For two years Carl was a member in good standing of the Royal Com- muters ' Club — return ing to the gay metropolis of Bradford every night; but in his third year the lure of Lowell ' s great White Way was too much for him, and since then he has resided in the Spindle City . His unfailing good nature and general affability have made hini a popular member of his class; and his keen mind and faithful work has kept him high in the esteem of his instructors. Although of a naturally quiet disposition, he has a lot of fun in him, and when he steps out for an evening ' s pleasure, it ' s a case of you ' d be surprised . Carl ' s manner of getting around hard jobs easily, coupled with his capacity for work, should carry him far in whatever field he goes into when he leaves L. T. S. Here ' s the best of luck to the last of the Mohicans . THE PICKOUT 1920 DOROTHY MARIA BURBECK dot After four years at the Lowell High School, our fair co-ed decided that L. T. S. would be the best place for her to complete her education, and by diligent and consistent work has become one of the leaders of her class. Besides being a good scholar Dot can tickle the ivories to good ac- count, and when it comes to chauft ' euring a flivver , she has no equal. During vacation periods she has spent much time enjoying the quiet (?) country life at her camp at Baptist Pond, where she has practiced her aquatic skill. Her boyant spirits have helped to enliven many a dull lab period, and she will certainly be missed when she leaves the school. When it comes to posing as a deadly chemist, Dot is right there because, as our old friend Rudyard Kipling used to say, the female of the species is more deadly than the male — but joking aside, Dotothy is as good as any and better than many; and we predict a brilliant future for our one and onlv co-ed. WALTER DOUGLAS on DOUG FAIRY Rams 1, 2 Doug came from Lowell; after making a rep as a track man at Lowell High, he started in breaking records in pursuit of his studies. Doug is a very quiet boy, but he bears watching, for he doesn ' t seem to be among the boys very much, and we wonder if he spends his time with the fair sex. In the Great War Doug fought the battle as a bugler with the Bat- tery . He returned this year, even if the fellows did threaten to kill the bugler; and we are all glad to welcome him back to the folds of L. T. S. once more. As a wool man Doug is no black sheep, and we all speak of him as being a good worker and a friend. We wish you success in the great wide world, Doug , and we know you will succeed in all of your undertakings. 30 THE PICKOUT 1920 MORTIMER THAYER FARLEY Society of Designers 1, 2, 3 MONTY MORT Assistant Football Manager 2 Chairman Show Committee, 3 In the fall of 1915. Monty left the quiet little town of Weston to wend his way over the rocky roads of the Design Course. His stay was short, for in May, 1917. he entered the navy. After remain- ing inactive in this part of the service for a short time, his loyal spirit towards his country was again shown. This time he became an ambulance driver in France. Monty has a very calm and conservative exterior, but under all this, oh boy! Perhaps it will be sufficient to state that according to his fairly good judgment and authority on the subject, Paris contains a number of wonderful women. He returned from France in January, 1918, and from then until December, 1918, was stationed at the Gas Defense Plant of the Chemical Warfare Ser- vice in Long Island City, working first as a civilian and later as one of the enlisted personnel. As a reward for his conscientious and efficient work he soon received his sergeantcy. In January, 1919, Monty returned to Textile and has since been very active in making all our social events of the greatest success and credit to L. T. S. So here ' s to Monty . May your achievements and success in later life be as complete as they have been at ' Lowell Textile. ■ ' . , ■ ' • ' % i V ! ; _ 9 fin L J m W A a M fjm ; K 2 y K T ■. ' - ' 4 CHARLES H. FORSAITH charlie Engineers 1, 2, 3, 4 Editor Text Captain Baseball, 4 Class president, 4 Manager Basbeall, 3 Charlie comes to us from a spot in New Hampshire known as Nashua, to follow in the footsteps of his brother who has gone before. He ' s a com- muter, but, nevertheless, he ' s always on deck with the rest of us. Just what his favorite pastime is, is rather difficult to say. A safe guess, however, is Work . Why, if any two fellows would try to carry as much work as he has during the past two years, they ' d be round-shouldered and as bald as a Mexican hairless pup. Let us just mention a few of his present troubles; for instance, president of the class; editor of the Text; captain and outfielder of the baseball team; president of the Engineering Society; member of the Show Committee; and a half dozen other things. And then, above all, he ' s a good student. In sports, baseball isn ' t his limit; football and basketball (including that style played in Room 27) must be included in the list. Wasn ' t he one of our star players in the interclass games? I ' ll say so. Charlie ' s future success is practically assured even if he spends the rest of his days as the editor of a textile journal. All that is necessary is that he keep up his present standard of work. 31 THE PICKOUT 1920 MEYER FLEISCHMANN Alembic Society 1, 2, 3, 4 Four years ago when Meyer entered L. T. S., he was a little innocent boy, ambitious to work and to act. Although he still holds the characteristic of being an ambitious worker, something else was added during the four years, namely, admiration for the fair sex, and in this case Meyer made quite a progress, for there is no girl in Lowell, who I venture to say, does not know the cute Meyer. Meyer, as you are about to leave the school, may good wishes follow you. The writer of this article especially wishes you good luck and happiness. Wherever you may be, do not forget that L. T. S. still exists and is active, and we shall be always glad to greet you in the midst of us. Love, hope, fear, faith — these make humanity! These are its sign, and note, and character. MOSES H.

This he has proved quite conclusively during his stay at Textile by copping all the first prizes in chemistry each and every year, to say nothing of playing football and baseball, and com- muting in the meantime. Mose is a chemist pure and simple, and the only thing of interest to him on the engineering side is their morning paper. In fact, most of his spare time is spent over there trying to convince the Engineers of the hard course he is taking. They are still from Missouri. During his fourth year, not having quite enough to do, Mose took on the job of being Business Manager for the Pickout. He took to the job like a duck to water, and as far as the ads go the Pickout will be a success. If Mose can manage his old dye pots the way he manages the Pickout, we can see nothing but a bright future, and another prosperous graduate of Textile. 32 THE IMC KOl ' T 1 9 2 JOHN HOLDEN john on Football. 1. 2 Y.D Engineering Society Five years ago — a motor car fashioned primarily for speed raced into Lowell. The car contained one pair of corduroy trousers and six feet some odd inches of man. The latter proved to be none other than John Holden, who. after spending considerable time endeavoring to find a school or col- lege quite hard enough, finally chose L. T. S. One might say that in doing this he was entirely successful in his purpose. Hut that one would not be at all familiar with John ' s exceptional ability. For here too, he has been a shark. John was a lieut in the Y. D., and in all fairness to him it must be said he ' was one of the few good shave-tails. John enlisted in Battery F and won his commission in France. To dwell upon his military ability would there- fore be superfluous. Sipping cider through a straw is John ' s favorite song and pastime, for this year — John has turned aside from his habitual ice cream sodas — and taken up apple-juice. Naturally he prefers to have it sweet. But by any chance should it be just a trifle hard , he ' ll wave a point and imbibe just the same. Holden for two years held a unique position in Lowell society. With exclusive apartments in the Bon Marche Building, he was known as the King of Merrimac street . But the past year was quite different. Several times a week now he throws it into high and heads toward Brookline. And as the ballad goes, perhaps he too will win a mother-in-law sipping cider through a great big straw. John ' s a wool man and as William Wood is getting along in years, it isn ' t too much to expect that within a short time he must shift his load to younger shoulders. With any knowledge of Holden ' s ability the inference is obvious. Here ' s good luck to Stutz, the corduroys and John. CHARLES HAD LEY HLSE on chick Show, 1 Pickout, 1, 2 President Show, 2 i Editor-in-Chief Pickout 3 Society Designers, u 2, 3 Class Football, 2, 3 Chick came to Textile to pursue the worship of Design under the High Priest, Hinie Bachmann. He is a modest boy with a winning smile, a friend of everyone and a second Peck ' s bad boy. Chick is a wonder for beautiful lines: design — yes; girls — no; for we have never known him to stray away from the fellows to attend any social functions that demanded intercourse with the fair sex. Near the end of his second year, Chick enlisted in Uncle Sam ' s navy and returned to school with a commission as engineering ensign. He saw some of the world also, having been through the Kiel Canal to Danzig, Ger- many, to Denmark and to England. Chick has much to his credit in the management of school affairs, and as editor of this year ' s Pickout, deserves much credit. He is a worker, a student and a gentleman, and we know he will make a wonderful find for some firm as a manager or a designer. 33 THE PICKOUT 1920 GEORGE HENRY JOHNSON Business Manager Piclcout, 3 Pickout Board, 4 Y. D. Class Football, 4 George started in to chase his B. T. C. way back in ' 14 and was going strong when Germany started something on the other side of the water, and so he dropped his studies and chased Huns instead. When he had straightened things out in France to suit himself, he couldn ' t resist the call of old Textile, and so we have him as a popular member of the class of 1920. He hails from the little city of Haverhill anrl, believe us, his native heath receives no slurs while Johnny is around to uphold her fair name — in fact, he thinks so much of the old home town that he can ' t leave it for more than a day at a time and hence has commuted throughout his entire course. When it comes to anything in the chemistry line he surely is Johnny-on- the-spot , and the way he tears through that course in dye lab is a caution. However, he is no grind or crab , and with all his hard work he manages to hold down his rating as a regular at Keith ' s matinees, where he has a strong leaning for orchestra seats. While he has never gone in for athletics to any great extent, he has taken an active interest in school affairs and has been a live wire in general. Popular both with his classmates and the instructors, he leaves L. T. S. with their wishes for the best o ' luck in his chosen profession. BORIS LEWSTEIN A K$ LEWIS BORIS PIPE DOWX Alembic Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 Textile Christian Association, 3, 4 Pickout, 1, 2, 3 Text Board, 3 In the fall of 1916 a quiet, unassuming person, later known to the stu- dents as Mr. Lewstein, made his appearance about the school. Having just arrived in this country after being wounded chasing the Huns in Galacia, with the Russian army; Lewie had his work cut out for him, as he took the chemistry course, and learned our language at the same time. How well Lewie succeeded in both is now a matter of history, for he has proven to be a tireless and conscientious worker. In addition to his scholar- ship record Lewie is some piano player and although he only plays classi- cal music, he is always called upon to render some selections at every social function held at the school. Lewie ' s usual indoor sport is writing some- thing for the Text, and his articles are always welcome, for they contain valuable pieces of advice, which he is qualified to give. For our Lewie before coming here studied philosophy for four years in Germany, at the University of Leipsig. Lewie has proven that he is a good worker, and will surely prove a find for some concern. 34 THE PICKOUT 19 2 CARL EVERETT MATHEWS MATTY SPIKE Baseball, 1, 2 Class Football, 2 Cotton Club Y. D Basketball In the fall of 1915 Matty blew in from Maine and, with the exception of an eighteen months ' sojourn in France with the Yankee Division, he has been decidedly with us ever since. On the other side Matty had little trouble in maintaining his habitual nonchalance — and did this regardless of the fact that he was always where they were breaking the thickest. In school activities Matty has indeed been a shining light, for besides being a top-notch scholar, for two seasons he covered the first bag as only Hal Chase and our Spike know how. Early in his regime at Lowell, Matty made his debut in Lowell society, and similar to other famous battlers, he saw and conquered. But he, too, has heard the call of one, and so in these later days he doesn ' t get around quite as often as was once the case. And though he ' s out of the army now, there ' s a well-founded rumor that Spike still takes orders. After copping the cotton medal in June, Matty will enter the business world and with his remarkable confidence and ability, it will be a simple matter for him eventually to be a Cotton King. AEERED JULES MATHIEU AK J al matt Sec. Athletic Council, 2 Sec. Class 1919 Al came from Woonsocket to the folds of Eddie Barker, expert sheep herder of all wool men. In order to follow in the footsteps of his dad , Matt chose the wool course, and by the looks of things he will soon be one of the wheels in the great woolen industry of today. A quiet boy with a fur-lined coat wends his way to and from school with few words to anyone and when Matt puts on his overalls the wool be- gins to fly. We do not know whether Matt has anything to do with the fair sex, but he must have, for we do not know where he spends his evenings. We know that Matt will make a success in the business world because he has been so diligent with his studies. We wish you success, old boy, and we know you will be a valuable asset to some manufacturing concern. ' 35 THE PICKOUT 1920 LEON ROBERT MIRSKY Rams, ], 2, 3 Mirsky was one of the Knights of the Road ; for every morning he came all the way from Nashua to pull the wool over Eddie ' s eyes. Mirsky was a friend of everybody and had a smile and a helping hand for all in their studies. He was first in his class and as a wool man he wore his overalls around the dirty wool, as a knight wore his armor. Success awaits Leon on leaving Textile, for his natural ability and his capacity for eating work will make him a valuable asset to any firm. JOHN FRANCIS MULLANEY Captain Baseball, 3 Class Football 4 Engineers, 1, 2, 3, 4 John began his Textile career in 1915. He won popularity from the start, and soon became known as Jack by all. After pursuing his studies for some time, he became interested in other L. T. S. activities, and joined the baseball team. He soon began teaching the boys the art of hitting the ball over Kitson Hall. Jack won his T in 1918, and was elected captain of the team in 1919. Each summer Jack visits Old Orchard, and he also visits with — ; well, of course, we understand that he likes to look ' em over at least. After carefully considering the matter last year, Jack decided that another year at L. T. S. was necessary. This year he is clearing up his sub- jects in a way that means nothing less than B. T. E. this spring. His general likable nature, and congenial spirit should help him on his way to success, and we wish him the best for his future. 36 THE PICKOUT 1920 HUBERT EREDERIC PARKER BLONDY PARK Class President, 3 Textile Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 In the fall of 1914 Park came up from Norwood. After three years of study in the realms of knowledge dominated by Perk he entered the govern- ment service. After spending two years in the service of his country, Blondy decided to return and run for his degree and possibly a marriage license(?). Accordingly, we found Park wandering in with the Freshmen. Although mistaken for a Freshie by the Sophs , Parker soon found his identity by enrolling as Hubert Frederic Parker, fourth year, Course VI. Blondy soon reconciled himself with the surroundings again and began to master the subjects placed before him and his classmates. Parker still believes in spending the week-ends at Norwood. Why so, Blondy? Because of his helping hand and hard work, Blondy will make good after leaving Textile. MAURICE PHILIP PHANEUF AKJ P Designers, 1, 2, 3, Here we have another of that band of commuters from the Gate City of New Hampshire. Maurice, after graduating from the one and only high school in Nashua, N. H, and knocking about in the cruel world for a few years, de- cided that his education was far from complete and that he would try out this school down in the big city of Lowell. Maurice quite early made it known that he would become a designer, and nothing could swerve him from this desire. Most anytime you can find him painting up in Heine ' s realm, and he shows great patience and care in all work. Two necessary requisites to a successful designer, most anyone will say. During his last year Maurice became disgusted with the train service or perhaps the train was not speedy enough to suit him, — but at any rate, he purchased a motorcycle. Most any morning if you look close, you might see him fly down the boulevard and into the school. He claims by using this machine it enables him to sleep three-quarters of an hour longer than his other commuting friends, and still beat the Boston and Maine out of a little sustenance. If Maurice continues to show such efficiency as the above, after leaving school, we can predict nothing but success for him in the future. 37 THE PICKOUT 1920 WALTER WELLINGTON POWERS ' kid duke well mr. powers (in the lab.) Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Class Football, 1, 2 Football, 2, 3, 4 Captain Football, 3 Pickout, 2, 3, 4 Show, 2, 3 Y. D. 13 Club Manager Hockey, 3 Duke arrived at L. T. S. away back in 1913, somewhat green, but al- ways wise enough to evade the famous 13 Club, whenever they were on the warpath for Freshmen scalps. Later he served as secretary and then as President of this organization. When the call came for men to enter the service, Powers joined the Bat- tery along with many others from school. That alone is enough to give a man prominence, but add to this his ability to make friends, as an athlete, as an actor, and the interest he displays in all school affairs, and you will readily understand his widespread popularity. Walking is Walter ' s hobby. Seven nights a week — too bad there aren ' t eight — he hikes from the Hill . Once in a while, when he is not too tired, instead of coming home, he continues his walk. W r e don ' t know where he goes, but he always come back happy. WILLIAM HAROLD QUINLAN QTJIN HAROLD Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 Quin arrived promptly on the scene of action, October 1, 1916. He took the sight-seeing trip, conducted by the Sophs of that time, but was not greatly impressed with Lowell ' s grandeur, as he has been a commuter ever since. Tn fact, he says Somerville is a much better place, and you can easily induce him to tell you about it. Quin very early in the game showed a leaning toward engineering, and oftentimes surprised his brother engineers by his remarkable knowledge of the subject in hand. In fact, he never seemed to have to rush much to get more than passing marks, and makes very good use of his spare time in the library. Just one thing we can remember that bothered him much of any, and that was mechanical drawing; in fact, he had a Hull of a time getting rid of it. There do not seem to be any facts to substantiate matters, but we should say Quin was interested in the fair sex also. There are several Normal School girls that commute, and of course commuters all know each other, and Quin says he has to uphold L. T. S. against all their remarks. Harold should certainly prove to be a valuable man to somebody and to him we wish the best of success in whatever work he undertakes. 38 Til E P I C ECO UT 19 2 GARLAND RADFORD had Rams. 1, 2, :5 Had comes from the sunny south and a better boy never rolled a pair of bones. Houston, Texas, is his home. After attending Exeter and Rosen- baum School in preparation for his college career, Rad decided that Textile was the place for him, and so he abandoned all hopes of seeing his sunny home and prepared for the cold winters of Lowell. Rad is a wool man, and when you-all get working in the worsted room with the steam on and a temperature of about 98°, that is the only time Had feels at home. A quiet boy with a whimsical smile, a good worker and a diligent student is Rad . Nobody knows where he spends all his evenings and so we cannot vouch for the fair sex, but still we think that there is someone here that keeps the home-fires burning for him. All the success in the world awaits you, Rad , a man of few words, but many deeds, and we know von will make a success at business some day. JOSIAH ALFRED RICE, Jr. AL JOE RICEY mm Athletic Council, 1 Assistant Football Manager, 2 Football Manager, 3 Show Committee, 2, 3 Pickout Board, 3 Glee Club, 3 Mandolin Club, 3 Nominating Committee, 2 Society of Designers, 1, 2, 3 And here ' s Al Rice from that noted town of Southbridge. Al is very quiet, but when he does things, they are done with a zip and a go. He is some designer, too, and has shown great skill in marking off fancy weaves on the gridiron, which have been woven into Textile Victory Cloth. Al managed one of the best football teams that L. T. S. has seen for several years and per- formed his task admirably for which he deserves much credit. When it comes to social affairs Al is a lion. He says very little about the girls, but we all know that he likes them as well as the rest of us. Al certainly will make a wonderful manager some day, for besides con- ducting the football affairs so well, he has aided in making Up-Stream, smokers, and the L. T. S. dance all great successes, to say nothing of what he is going to do to help make the coming show the best that L. T. S. has ever had. All hail to Al Rice and wish him success in his future manage- ments. 39 THE PICKOUT 1920 JOHN WILLIAM RUSSELL Hiss President of Alembic Society, 3 Nominating Committee, 3, 4 Vice-President, Non-Fraternity, 3 President of A. A., 3 Pickout Board, 4 One night in the long ago, friend stork hopped gracefully upon the star- board chimney of a certain house in Lawrence and dropped our little John into its sooty depths. Feeling himself fall, John inadvertently opened his yap and swallowed sixteen and one-tenth grams of carbon almost before he realized it. Of a consequence, it was decreed from the very start that Russ should be a chemist. At the early age of three he was known to have perused several articles dealing with osmotic pressure. His family boasts of the fact that, at the age of five, when a certain uncle gave him a sus- picious-looking nickel, John analyzed the coin, proving it to be an alloy of lead and tin. He hasn ' t spoken to his uncle since. There are two things that elevate John above the common throng. First, he is bound to fool around the worst smelling wool grease that ever graced this earth, and second, he persists in smoking a pipe that is a veritable vol- cano. Despite these handicaps we look upon John as a steady worker — one of the silent kind that says little, but does much. The firm that lands him gets a darned good chemist. GORDON MAXWELL SCOTT SCOTTY Football, 4 Class Basketball 2, 3, 4 Baseball, 2, 3. 4 Alembic Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 One day back in 1916 a long, lean, gaunt figure called Gordon, stepped aboard the train at Madison, Maine, bound for Lowell. He found Textile, and was duly installed as a freshie. He soon became acquainted with his new surroundings, and obtained much wisdom, as was shown by his choice of the Chemistry and Dyeing course. He has shown marked ability in his school- work and has evidently chosen a line for which he is exceptionally well fitted. His athletic ability is far superior to that of the average person, as shown by his participation in football, basketball and baseball. Scotty deserves a great deal of credit for his excellent work as centre on the football team in 1919. Because of his personality, he is one of the most popular fellows in school, and he is surely well liked by all those who know him. Scotty also enjoys the company of the fair sex, as shown by his rather frequent trips to Sim- mons. He will doubtless make a name for himself and the school in his future work, and will be a valuable asset to the firm that gets him. We all wish Scotty the best of luck, and will say when he has gone out into the world, that in him we knew a man and a true friend. 40 T HE PI C K O V T 1920 PAUL SMITH SMITTY Manager Football, 2 Class Football. 4 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Basketball, 2, 3, 4 Rack in 1916 there came a lad from Gloucester, Mass., to try his hand at Textile. Having been preceded by his brother, he found that he had quite a reputation to live up to, and this he endeavored to do, to the best of his ability. Smitty always contended that an ideal day consisted of machine shop in the morning and machine shopping in the afternoon, but he was never able to find a tabular view like that. German proved to be his Waterloo, and we don ' t blame him for that in the least. His interest seems to center in electricity, and we would wager our roll that some day Smitty will startle the world with a 25-cycle D. C. motor, or something like that. Finding Mr. Tuck ' s hydraulic course a little slow, he suggested the use of his flivver in viewing the waterworks of Lowell. Mr. Tuck accepted once and only once; perhaps his life was not insured, who knows? During his fourth year with us, due to overwork, he decided to spend a few weeks in California for his health. His sojourn proved to be very profitable, and his tales of How they make the movies at Hollywood are of exceptional interest. Whether or not Smitty decides to return next year for his degree, we feel he will find a place waiting for him in the electrical field where he can apply his surplus energies. WALDO ERIC SUHLKE on FRITZ Captain Football, 2. 3 Class Football, 2, 4 Alembic, 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Basketball, 1. 2 Fritz , the Crown Prince of Leominstei, breezed in from Exeter, leaving that school because of his great love for freedom. Suhlke started school with a slam-bang in studies and the physical de- velopment of the toe, attending faithfully the boathouse and Associate Hall. Keith ' s also was a weakness of Fritz , anyone being able to find him there on every Monday afternoon. As a singer he makes a fine hash-slinger , for Fritz ' s voice has as pure qualities as any hash has ingredients. Notwithstanding his great love of music and cards, he has shown us how to pass all subjects and at the same time perform well on the football field, for Suhlke has been a faithful worker, and he certainly ought to show the chem- istry world that L. T. S. has finally produced a great chemist. 41 THE PICKOUT 1920 AI EDWIN WELLS EDDIE ED MOTHER Pickout Board, 3 Student Assistant, % 3, 4 Engineering Society, 1, 2, 3 Secretary A. A., 3 Show, 3 Eddie is our famous student instructor in math and electricity. He has a little office this year with Loup and by the looks of things will follow in the footsteps of his head instructor. Wells is a wireless operator of some repute and has traveled extensively with the United Fruit to Europe and the South. From experience thus obtained he has become sufficiently wise to let all kinds of schooners alone. Eddie is head of the House of Flunks, but he is square with everyone and will give all a chance if they will only try and have their work in on time. A cheerful friend, a quiet chap, and a bashful boy, we wish him all the success of an instructor in his future work. MICHAEL J. WOTKOWICZ MIKE WOT Textile Engineering Society, 1. 2, 3, 4 Wot hails from the western part of our state, Adams, Mass. He knew what he wanted, and he knew where to get it; that ' s why he came here to us. We must give him credit for having the right dope at times. Wot is what might be called a silent worker (no, not a second story man). The time is still to come when he hasn ' t his work ready when it is due. In athletics he ' s been one of the class members to aid us uphold our honor. Baseball, football or basketball are all the same to him. He keeps his arm in trim for baseball by partaking in numerous chalk battles. His one aim and ambition is to apply the principles of scientific motion study to the art of baking. The mystery of raising dough with the least effort will probably be his first problem. We can all testify that this is no simple task. Leaving all joking aside, we know that Wot will make good, whether he becomes a baker or a textile engineer. We all know the old saying, You can ' t keep a good man down ; well, here we have it illustrated. 42 THE PICKOUT 1920 LOUIS SAMUEL ZISMAN I Q T SHAKE Alembic Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 And last but not least comes Shake Zisman. His nickname is an ab- breviation of Shakespeare , which was bestowed upon him for some un- known reason away back in the dark ages , i.e., his freshman year. He is a man of few words but a hard worker, and we venture to say that he has derived as much benefit from the Chemistry Course as any in the class. While primarily a textile chemist, he has had considerable experience in rub- ber chemistry, and we shouldn ' t be at all surprised to see on the market in the near future the results of his researches under the title Analyses of Rubbernecks. Shake has never entered into school activities to any great extent, but he has never been found wanting when a good thing needed helping along, — and that ' s saying a good deal. A gentleman at all times, of scholarly tastes, and equipped with a keen mind, he will most certainly make his mark in whatever field he chooses to follow up. He leaves school with our wishes for the best of luck.

Cochran President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Member of Athletic Council tstorp of tfje 3 untor Class The title really ought to be the class of the class of ' 21. If we were to sum up all the achievements of the Sophomore class, we would fill the entire Pickout, without the least bit of trouble. The S. A. T. C. foiled the elaborate plans of the Sophomores for the reception of the new men (if they might so be called) who had wisely chosen a few years of education (which, we have found out later, they needed badly) at the Lowell Textile School. However, we rapidly became intimate with these new-comers, and secretly made a list of all their weak points. Before the S. A. T. C. was broken up, a smoker was given by the fraternities and instructors to the first-year students. Some prudent Sophomores secretly spread the rumors among the freshies , that instead of a smoker a welcoming party (????) was to be given by the Sophomores. Immediately there was excite- ment among the Freshmen. Not until the evening of the entertainment was over, were their minds at ease. Then the fellows were discharged from the service, and returned to their homes. 46 i fll « J Bf « - js 3B B :V ' iB Br ■■ ' ■■■■ ' l Bk?9 IhbBBJBT ' B E - ' ■• ' ' -■ f ir JiLlfi ' ' ' ' ife ' J ' ' .;-,..,.:: ,.. . , , - JV ... ;.

The Freshmen seriously thought that they were going to get away without an informal reception. Even the rain was not going to hinder the sight-seeing trip of the new men, but President Eames per- suaded the Sophomores to try some other method of reception. The Freshies were soon assembled in the main hall, and took their turn in providing an entertainment for the upper classmen. The Freshies seemed to enjoy it, but. ' t was well they did!!! A few laws were given these youths, which they were to obey strictly during the week to follow, and few of them hesitated to do so. At the Textile Night at the local Young Men ' s Christian Association, the Sophomores easily defeated the Freshmen in a five-man relay race, but, due to the inability of some of our men to obtain gym suits, were defeated by the represen- tatives of the same class in basketball. We came back strong in aquatics and defeated our opponents in the relay race, but were outdistanced in the plunge for distance. The class of ' 21 shone again, by defeating the Seniors, Juniors and Freshies and being heralded as class champions in baseball. With this honor goes the honor of being the first class to have its numerals engraved on the inter-class Ath- letic Cup presented by the Textile Christian Association. The Sophomores have also contributed materially to the school baseball nine in the playing of Clayton, Sweet, and Berlin. The Freshmen tried hard, we ' ll admit, to place their numerals in a conspicuous place on the canal wall, but once again the courage and spirit of their superiors overwhelmed them. Just take a look, if you don ' t believe it, and see, on the rocks in the Merrimack, the numerals of the best class in Textile, ' 21. Even the Sophomores begged for the help of us Juniors in order to carry out the warm reception to the new men on the opening day of school the following year. Then as the days passed by, the class of ' 21 began to shine! First it was in football. The captain of the team was a ' 21 man, and at the close of the most successful season in Textile ' s history another ' 21 man was elected to captain the team in the coming season. When the time came to decide the class champions in football, the Juniors were there again. The Seniors and Sophomores put up a good fight, but could not show the class of their opponent. This meant that the class of ' 21 would be the first ones to have their numerals in football, as well as baseball, on the T. C. A. cup. Basketball, hockey and baseball will be coming along soon, and there ' s doubt who the victors will be. But whether it is in athletics, scholarship, or anything pertaining to the life of the college, the Junions always show the same spirit. 48 NAME Band, Roy Forrest Boylston, Theodore Willmott Brown, Russell Lee Chang, Wen Chuan Chen, Shih Chfstg Chou, Yen Ting Clayton, Harold Edmund Cochran, Thomas Charles dlmock, d wight leverett Ellis, Charles Albert Farley, Mortimer Thayer Goosetrey, Arthur Goosetrey, John Thomas Hadley, Richard Feancis Huse, Charles Hadley Hodge, Harold Bradley Holden, John Sanford Kaatze, Julius Karanfilian, John Hagop Laurin, Eric Thursten Lawrence Lemire, Joseph Emile Lewstein, Boris LONGBOTTOM, PARKER WyMAN Mathews, Carl Everette Mathieu, Alfred Jules course VI IV VI VI IV VI VI IV IV VI III IV IV IV III VI II VI VI IV VI IV IV I II school last attended Concord High Concord, N.

It was voted to have a class banquet but this function had to be omitted on account of a lack of time. The class of 1922 has been well represented in all of the school activities, especially in baseball and football. In football, the Sophomore team was defeated by the class of 1923, but proved its strength by defeating the class of 1921 in a tug-of war Upstream Day. 53 NAMF Amesbury, Frederick Alexander Berqitest, Hugh Gerard Bidwell, Leonard Fox Bird, Francis John Brackett, Martin Richard Brown, Gerald Marston Brown, Will George, Jr. Caffray, Raymond Ellery Campbell, Alexander Caya, Ferdinand Joseph Chase, Abbott Christofferson, Carl Alfred Clasby, Arthur Edward Clifford, Albert Chester Cluin, John Joseph, Jr. Cockroft, Harold Arthur Connolly, Walter Currier, Perley Phillips Danahy, Joseph Philip Derby, Roland Everett Dexter, George Owen, Jr. Donahue, Frank Cournyn COURSE VI II IV VI VI VI IV I VI IV II IV VI VI II VI II VI IV IV VI VI SCHOOL LAST ATTENDED Westford Academy Arlington High East Hartford High Worcester Polytechnic Burlingarne School, Somerville West Springfield High Lowell High Boston University Mechanics Art High HOME ADDRESS 23 Pitman Ave., Wakefield, Mass. 259 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington, Mass.

A more perfect day could not have been asked for. The air was clear and crisp; the sun seemed to shine more brightly than ever before. The gates of Lowell Textile School swung back in significance that another school year had begun. Slowly — perhaps a little timorously, — the Freshies entered, and took a first look at their future Alma Mater. After registering, the class met in the Assembly Hall, where President Eames told us what was expected of us as students of L. T. S. He extended us a hearty welcome on behalf of the trustees, the faculty, and the upper classmen. Perhaps we were most heartily (?) welcomed by the Sophomores, who, re- membering their first day, were bent on passing down the line an old tradition in its most impressive form. At the close of the lecture we were seized by the throats and hustled downstairs to the rapturous tune of large, healthy-looking paddles. sur les pantalons . 59 THE PICKOUT 1920 After having been properly corralled in the courtyard, we were deprived of our shoes, and commanded to roll our trousers up to our knees and turn our coats wrongside out. In this predicament we ran a few laps around the crushed- stone driveway (just to show the Sophs that they had nothing on us), and then very gracefully accepted an invitation to take a walk down-town to see the sights. With the exception of a few movie acts, such as a fight on the top of a trolley car, and a battle on the running-board of a jitney, nothing of consequence occurred. After a mad scramble for shoes at the corner of Central and Merrimack Streets, we concluded we had seen enough of the sights, and politely told our guides as much. Needless to say, we were immediately released. We then went home to dust off our clothes a bit, as the street-sprinkler had failed to properly lay the dust that morning. However, the Sophomores did quite well, and we take off our hats to them in recognition of the fact. The class was quick to catch the atmosphere of life at Old Textile, and by their congenial surroundings were soon made to feel perfectly at home . The Freshmen Smokers, of which there were three, were very successful ; and we, as a class, wish hereby to express our appreciation of the welcome accorded us at these informal get-togethers . Textile ' s very successful football season was, in a large measure, due to the prompt response of the Freshman class to Captain Precourt ' s call for candidates. Of a squad of twenty-five players, eleven were Freshmen. The following members of the class were awarded sweaters: Berry Goller Macher Perlmutter Fontaine Lombard Mott Schneider Stevens Walker Wentworth We were beaten by the Sophomores in the inter-class games. The game was very close, and was anybody ' s up to the final whistle. The final score was Sophs 6, Freshmen 0. In the interclass basketball games, however, the class came back strong and whipped the Sophs by a score of 15 to 1 1. The team is captained by John Schneider. The prospects are very bright for the class championship falling to 1923. It is worthy of note that forty per-cent of the class was enlisted in various branches of the service during the Great War. With that same spirit which carried a large proportion of its members to France, or out upon the treacherous ocean, or to monotonous drills and routine duties upon this side of the water, the class is taking upon itself the duties which it finds here at L. T. S.

Time and time again teams representing Textile have been unmercifully beaten until each season was a series of defeats with perhaps one or two hard-earned victories to soften matters. Such was the state of affairs until last fall and the season before. It was proven then beyond all contradiction that Textile could produce an athletic team that could give as well as take in this gentle game of football. It was proven beyond alibi that once and for all Textile was in the small college class in regard to athletics and was a dangerous opponent. Anyone who watched the game at Durham, when Textile held the wonderful New Hampshire State team 12 to 2 in a game that came so close to being a tie-score that the green and white didn ' t feel safe until the last whistle blew, realized that Textile had wonderful material in its lineup. And anyone who saw the fight that Textile put up last November in the Boston University game, when the team from Boston was com- pletely outrushed and outclassed, was forced to admit that Textile had won the best played game in the history of the school ; and they knew that Textile was in its own at last. Next spring should prove a banner season in baseball. There is plenty of material in the school, which is good enough to assure us beforehand that the games with Bates, Colby, Norwich University, New Hampshire State College and the rest are to be contests of first-class order. And next fall when football comes into the public eye again, we are more than hopeful of seeing even this year ' s record broken. An old alumnus visited Textile one day, and after inspecting the school, made the remark, Great Scott, but Textile has changed! Why, it ' s a blooming univer- sity! He was right. Old Textile has changed and for the better. Not only have her sons gone out into the textile world and produced the results that count, but her newer sons have proven on diamond and gridiron that Textile athletic teams are no longer a joke, but are outfits to be watched carefully. Athletics at Textile are booming. GO dfootball Officers; of 1919 Joseph Precourt, ' 21 Josiah A. Rioe, ' 20 Russell Robinson, ' 21 D. E. Hudson Wentworth, r.h.b. Scott, c. Marble, q.b. Goulet, r.e.

The Fresh- man class furnished most excellent material, and there is no doubt that when these same Freshmen get to be Juniors and Seniors, few New England colleges will care to tackle us. A new football coach was in charge this year, and while he was not the wonderful star player Dave Morey had been, he turned out the best team Tex- tile has ever had. OS THE PIC KOUT 19 20 The season was encouragingly successful as the record of five games won and three lost shows. We were under quite a handicap at the beginning of the season inasmuch as our school session began late and consequently practice was con- siderably delayed, but the fellows worked hard and after the first game our con- dition ceased to be an asset to our opponents. Captain Precourt bore the weight of the responsibilities of his position in good style, and his work was by no means a small factor in the team ' s success. After about three days of practice the squad took a trip to Worcester, and played Worcester Academy on the latter ' s gridiron. Although Textile was on the short end of a 7-6 score, it was virtually a victory, as the team held the Academy time and time again, only to lose out in the third period when a Worcester forward pass was carried out for a long run and the superior condition of the home team carried the ball over after their offense had crumbled twice against a stone-wall defense. Textile took the offensive in the first quarter and worked the pigskin to Wor- cester ' s three-yard line before an inadequate number of plays caused them to lose it on downs. During the second period the ball hovered between the two 20-yard lines, neither team having the punch to carry it over. During the third period there was action with a capital A, and after about five minutes of play Lombard blocked a kick which he converted into a touchdown. Precourt missed an easy goal. Worcester started in after the next kick-off and proceeded to walk right down the field, Textile being unable to stop them at all. They kicked the goal after their touchdown, making them one point to the good, and this advantage was kept till the end of the game. Textile died hard in the last period, but the punch was lacking and the game ended with the score unchanged. The playing of Stevens, Lombard and Marble stood out prominently. On October 9, Textile journeyed to Franklin and played Dean Academy. There was both good football and good scrapping in the game. The football part ended 12-6 in Textile ' s favor, while the scraps were all draws. The game started with Textile kicking off and Dean starting with a rush. Two first downs on skin tackle plays brought the ball to midfield and a well exe- cuted forward pass, Williams to Schaffer, went over for a touchdown. Dean missed the goal, and the first period ended 6-0 in the home team ' s favor. The second period showed more pep on Textile ' s part, and as a result the ball was in Dean ' s territory during practically the entire period, but the necessary plays to take it over were lacking and there was no further scoring. Textile kicked off to Dean, at the start of the third period, and the latter were stopped in their tracks and forced to punt. Practically the entire Textile line went through on their attempt to punt, and Stevens ' big body got in the way. The pigskin bounded back across the goal line where Morrill, who had replaced Goulet at end, fell on it for touchdown. Lombard missed the goal, and the period ended with the score 6-6. 69 THE PICKOUT 1920 The ball see-sawed back and forth between the two 20-yard lines, and with about a minute to play the ball was Textile ' s on Dean ' s 40-yard line. Three downs gained about five yards, and Stevens dropped back for a punt — only he didn ' t punt. Goulet went down the field and picked Stevens ' perfect forward out of the air on Dean ' s one-yard line. He was nailed the minute he caught it, but the oval was within striking distance and the Textile rooters on the side lines went crazy. With less than a minute to go, the teams lined up, and as the play started. Dean went off-side, but the ball kept on going and Marble squirmed over for a touch- down. Then came the fun. Coach Sullivan ot Dean claimed his team should be penalized for being offside, but Textile refused the penalty and demanded a chance to kick the goal. The um- pire and referee, both Dean students, were undecided, and so the opportunity was not given Textile, but there was plenty of opportunity to fight and some corkers were pulled off. But, through the coolness of our coach, Mr. Hudson, the situation was kept well in hand, and the boys withdrew to their respective dressing-rooms. However, the play was finally given to Textile, and the official score was 12-6, Tex- tile being on the long end. The team played a very good game, and the work of Stevens, A. Goosetrey, and Goulet stood out above the rest. The lineup : Textile Dean Precourt, I.e. I.e. McGahan Stevens, l.t. l.t. Paten A. Goosetrey, l.g. l.g. Keefe Scott, c. c. Bannows Cockroft, r.g. r.g.

The first home game took place on the local campus, October 18, with New Bedford Textile as the opponent and was very close for the first period. After that Textile got going, and the score increased by leaps and bounds. The first period opened with Textile apparently unable to get going. The team would carry the ball 50 or 60 yards, only to lose in on a fumble. The period ended without a score, the ball being on New Bedford ' s 20-yard line. After several gains in the second period New Bedford punted and then the procession started. Six plunges, and Walker strolled over for a touchdown. The goal was missed. Score, Textile 6, New Bedford 0. 70 THE PICKOUT 1920 Textile again kicked off and after two losses Harieh punted to Maeher, who carried it back ten yards. Some brilliant rushes, interspersed with several forwards, brought the ball within fifteen yards of the line, and just to show no partiality Maeher took it over for the second counter. The goal was again missed, but no- body cared. Score, Lowell 12, New Bedford, 0. After a kick-off Lombard broke through and nailed New Bedford for an eighteen-yard loss, and the period ended with the ball in New Bedford ' s possession on her own two-yard line. The third period was practically all straight line-bucking, except for a few forwards mixed in. After about ten minutes of play Stevens shot a forty -yard pass to Berrv, who made a sensational catch for a touchdown. Precourt kicked the goal. Score, Lowell 19, New Bedford 0. Textile opened the fourth period with practically an entire new eleven, and the substitutes played rings around their opponents. Straight line-bucking and a for- ward, Berry via Stevens, brought the leather up close, and Wentworth dove over for the fourth counter. He also kicked the goal, bringing the score up to 26. After the kick-off Lombard intercepted a forward, and in six plays Wentworth waltzed through for the final score. He again kicked the goal. After a few rushes the game ended with the ball in Textile ' s possession at midfield. The features of the game were the offensive work of Berry, Maeher, and Walker and the defensive playing of Stevens and Lombard. The lineup and summary: Lowell New Bedford Precourt, J.

On October 25, Textile visited Durham and played New Hampshire State ' s big eleven. The game was hard-fought throughout, as the final score of 12-2 71 shows. The home team outweighed Textile about five pounds to a man and were helped out by penalties. A bone pulled on Textile ' s side-lines caused a penalty of thirty yards and put the home team in a position to score their second touchdown. Berry of Textile was quite severely injured during the game, an injury which put him out for two weeks. New Hampshire had the bigger and better trained eleven, but Textile ' s showing was decidedly gratifying and if New Hampshire desires to keep her reputation, she had better not play Textile in 1920.

Textile received the ball on the kick-ofl ' and went right down the field for a touchdown. The touchdown was made by the air route, Stevens to Goulet. The rest of the first quarter was uneventful, and the quarter ended with the score still 6-0 in favor of Lowell. At the beginning of the second period Fitchburg had the ball on Lowell ' s forty-yard line. A fumbled punt was recovered for a thirty-yard gain, and an- other blocked punt was luckily recovered for a first down. Three plays, and Clark caught a forward in back of the goal line for a touchdown. They obligingly refused to take any advantage over us and missed the goal, leaving the score tied. Lom- bard caught their kick-off on the 12-yard line and made a brilliant open-field run of 60 yards, almost getting free. Fitchburg ' s defense stiffened, however, and held for downs. The whistle sounded with the ball in midfield. The regular team entered the game at the beginning of the second half, and their presence was immediately felt. Textile received the ball on their ten-yard line, and after a series of crossline plays Lombard sailed over with half the Fitch- burg team on his back. The goal was easily missed. Score 12-6. The fourth period opened with another series of crashing plays, and this time Macher squirmed and spun his way over. Again the goal was missed. After an exchange of kicks Textile started again, and the final whistle alone prevented further scoring. 73 THE PICKOUT 1920 The game itself was disappointing as Textile seemed unable to play together. However, as the same eleven men have not played together twice this season, this is not surprising. The lineup and summary: Textile Fitchbukg Preeourt, J. Goosetrey, I.e. r.e.

November 8th, Tufts Freshmen were snowed under, 27-0, on the local campus. The home team was entirely too strong for the Medford eleven, and the scoring was done almost at will. The first touchdown was made within two minutes by the Stevens-to- Goulet route. Preeourt kicked the goal. After the kick-off, Tufts punted, and Stevens returned the punt, which was recovered by Lowell on Tufts ' thirty-five-yard line. Three first downs brought it to Tufts ' one-yard line, where it was when the quarter ended. On the first play of the second period Macher went over, and Preeourt again kicked the goal. The rest of the period was spent in exchanging punts. Score 14-0. The third period was all Textile ' s, and after Stevens intercepted a forward pass, Lombard plowed through for the third score. The attempt at a goal failed. Textile immediately took up the march again, and Lombard went over for his second touch- down. Wentworth kicked the goal, making the score 27-0. The fourth period saw an entirely new Textile eleven, and although a touch- down was made, it was not allowed, and the ball was given to Tufts. The game ended with the ball in Tufts ' possession on Textile ' s 45-yard line. The playing of Goosetrey, Lombard, Scott, and Stevens featured. 74 T HE PICKOl ' T 19 2 The lineup and summary: Lowell Textile Tufts 1923 Stevens, l.t. r.t. Pikerd Precourt, J. Goosetrey, I.e. r.e.

Textile had two chances to score, but the necessary punch was not there. Macher and Goulet each played a whale of a game, while Brokaw of Tech was easily the best man on the field. At the start of the game it looked all Textile ' s when they carried the pigskin twice to the threshold of Tech ' s goal line, only to lose the ball on downs. The second period was practically even, the ball travelling between the two 20-yard lines, without either side becoming dangerous. The third period saw both Tech and Textile scoring. Tech scored first on old-fashioned football when Brokaw banged his way through centre for the first score. The goal was kicked. Goulet got the ball on the kick-off and went back 70 yards in one of the most brilliant pieces of open-field running seen on the local campus this year. A quick forward, Stevens to Goulet, brought the ball to the one-yard line, where Tech held for downs, the Textile offense seeming weak. Tech punted from behind her goal-line, and this time Textile settled down and Macher took the ball over on three plays. The goal was missed. Textile showed a great weakness in this department through- out the season, and the number of goals kicked after touchdowns was few. Tech opened the fourth period by intercepting a Textile forward, and an ex- change of punts gave them the ball on Textile ' s 20-yard line. From here Brokaw again took it over after a short forward had been successful. The goal was again kicked, and the game ended without any further scoring. 75 THE PICKOUT 1920 The summary: Lowell M. I.

The big game of the year was played November 21 on the Textile campus. Boston University was the opponent, and she went back a sadder but wiser college. A following of two hundred students accompanied the visitors, and they brought a good deal of enthusiasm and quite a bit of money. They went home minus all of the enthusiasm and most of the money. Textile played straight, old-fashioned foot- ball, and the stone-wall defense of the Red and Black ' s big line was too much for anything the visitors could offer. The first period was very even, neither team having much of an advantage, although Boston was materially aided by penalties. The quarter ended with the ball in B. U. ' s possession on her own 20-yard line. The second period was more or less a repetition of the first, both teams punting regularly on third and fourth downs. The second half was much more bitterly contested. The third period opened with Textile recovering a B. U. fumble and then proceeding straight down the field for a touchdown. At the one-foot line the distance was made by the large amount of two inches and on the next play Macher catapulted through center for the final distance. Preeourt kept up the good work by kicking a pretty goal. The period ended without further scoring. Score, Textile 7, B. U. 0. The fourth period opened with G. Callahan intercepting a forward pass and making a spectacular run. Brown saved the day for Textile right there as he nailed his man with a pretty tackle from behind. B. U. was no longer dangerous, and in the last few minutes the entire squad was put in, giving each man a letter in recognition of his faithful efforts. 76 THE PICKOUT 1920 The lineup : Textile Boston University Goulet, Berry, Perlmuter, r.e.

The football season was a great success, and the sporting public of Lowell began to take quite an interest in the team ' s endeavors. The student body sup- ported the team to a marked extent and about fifty students accompanied the team on its out-of-town trips. Too much credit cannot be given Manager Rice for the efficient manner in which he conducted the business affairs of the season. The support of the faculty was exceptionally gratifying, and the faculty supervisors, Messrs. Lupien and Cushing, gave unstintingly of their time and energy. The prospects for next year are exceptionally bright. Of the twenty-six letter men who played this year at least twenty-one or twenty-two will be back. Scott is the only regular first-string man who will be missing, and with the aid of the in- coming Freshmen there is no reason why Captain-elect Goosetrey ' s team should not be the best ever turned out in Lowell. Manager Robinson already has games ar- ranged with Worcester Tech, Connecticut Aggies, Dartmouth Freshmen, and Bates, while games are pending with M. I. T., Amherst, Andover, and the Uni- versity of Vermont. This is a very imposing array, and inasmuch as the hard games come early in the season, a week or ten days ' practice before school starts will be absolutely necessary. So everybody up for the 1920 football season and have at least fifty candidates report for the first day ' s practice. 77 THE PICK OUT 1920 Jfrestfjmau opijomore ame Jf ofch 3, 1919 First Period. Christofferson kicked the ball, and about half the dirt of the field, to the Freshies ' center, Ryan, who was tackled at once. On the first play the Freshies fumbled, but recovered.

Page hit the center for two yards, but the forward at- tempted on the next play was incomplete. Lawler then punted to Mandell, who was tackled at once. Mandell then gained two yards and Christy a yard around the end. Mike made two more yards off tackle, and Berquest skirted left end for first down. On the next play Mike hit center for a yard, but the Sophs were offside and were therefore penalized five yards. Berquest skirted left end again for four- teen yards and then Derby hit center for the necessary yards for first down. Mike ' s forward to Marshall was incomplete. On the next play Christy fumbled the ball, it being recovered by Valentine. Bird went off tackle for two yards, while Whittier failed to gain at right end. Lawler also failed to gain at right end.

Mike went off tackle for eighteen yards as the quarter ended. Second period. Christy at left guard made three yards, but Mike couldn ' t gain at the same place. Berquest added a yard around left end, and Mike then hit left guard for a touchdown, but the whistle had blown to allow a Fieshie sub to get into the game and the touchdown didn ' t count. Mike went through right guard for 78 THE PICKOUT 1920 five yards. The Freshies held on their four-yard line and got the ball on downs. Whit tier punted to the Sophs ' forty-eight yard line, Mike receiving the punt. Christy ' s pass to Mike was incomplete as was Mandell ' s pass to Berquest. Derby failed to gain through the line. On the fourth down Mike punted to the Freshies. Heaven received the ball and made a fine run for thirty yards, but fumbled the ball on being tackled. The ball, however, was recovered by the Freshies.

On a delayed pass Lawler bucked left tackle for four yards, but the Freshies were offside on the play and drew a five-yard penalty. Dalton crashed through center for five yards. Coach Schneider said, on being interviewed. Wait until the second half. Lawler hit right guard for four yards, the Sophs getting the ball on downs. Berquest slid off left tackle for nine yards, but both teams were offside. Coach Schneider asked for a square deal. Mike hit right tackle for a yard and then the left tackle for lour more just as the half ended. Third Period. The Freshies kicked off to Marshall, who made three yards before being downed. An incomplete pass was followed by Berquest ' s being tackled for a yard loss on a run around left end. Mike then hit the center for three yards and then kicked to Dalton, who ran it back four yards before being downed. On a delayed pass the ball was tumbled, but the Freshies recovered it. The Freshies ' right end was offside on the next play, and after the Sophs won the debate which followed, the Freshies were penalized five yards. A forward pass, Dalton to Ryan, was declared not legal, as Ryan, the center, was not eligible to receive the pass, the ball going back. A debate a la Fitchburg Normal followed about downs. Whittier ' s punt was blocked, but received by the Freshies. Lawler was tackled for a two-yard loss. On the next play, a delayed pass, the ball was passed poorly to Bird, who fumbled, the ball jumping from his arms right into Brackett ' s hands, who ran ten yards for a touchdown. Mike kicked out, but the ball hit the ground. Score: Sophs 6, Freshies 0. Coach Schneider said: Just a little hard luck; watch us go now. The Sophs kicked off to the Freshies, and the ball was rushed back ten yards before being downed. Whittier whirled around right end for eight yards. Both sides were offside. On the next play, Lawler ran around right end for two yards and first down. Hadley on the next play broke through and nailed Whittier for a five- yard loss. Dalton then went around right end for two yards, and then he threw a forward to Whittier, netting three yards as the quarter ended. Fourth Period. Dalton was tackled for a ten-yard loss, and so on the next play Whittier kicked to Mike who ran it back twenty yards. Berquest was unable to gain. At this time a flock of Freshie subs were rushed into the game. Mike bucked right tackle for two yards and then fumbled, a Freshie falling on the ball.

Sullivan and Bidwell hit the Juniors ' line for only slight gains, and were therefore forced to kick; Sullivan punting to the Juniors. Pal Moore, trying to buck the center of the Sophs ' line was then stopped for no gain. On the next play Sweet was tackled for a loss, but the Sophs were off-side and were there- fore penalized five yards. Sweet then hit right guard for five yards and Morrill on two successive bucks at center failed to gain. At this point McGowan replaced Christy, who lost half of one of his shoes, Hadley going to tackle and McGowan to end. R. Hadley then dropped back for a drop kick from the Sophs ' thirty-yard line, but it was blocked by the Sophs, Derby falling on it. The Sophs failed to gain at centre, and on the next play Mike Mandell fumbled, R. Hadley receiving the ball for the Juniors. Banty Ross lost two yards at left end. Pal went around right end for five yards; Morill y then hit left guard for two yards as the period ended. 80 Til K V I C KO l T 19 20 Second Period.

Par ' hit center, but fumbled; he recovered, however. Morrill bucked left guard for three yards, but Sweet failed to gain at the same place. Sweet ' s pass to Ross was incomplete, being too high for Shorty .

Mike fumbled, but recovered. On the next play Mike hit center for a yard. A forward, L. Sullivan to Mandell, was intercepted by Morrill, who dropped the ball after catching it. Mike then punted to Sweet. Pal Moore lost five yards at left end, while Sweet hit right guard for a yard as the half ended with the ball in the center of the field. Third Period. L. Sullivan kicked off to Orr, who fumbled, Longbottom recov- ering. The ball was kicked over again, however, after the Sophs had been penalized five yards for being offside on the kick-off. D. Sullivan kicked off to Sw r eet on the Juniors ' ten-yard line, and he made a pretty run-back for thirty yards to his own forty-yard line. The Juniors got away with a pass, Sweet to Washburn. Moore bucked left guard for two yards, and Sweet, the opposite guard, for two yards. Morrill then hit left guard again for three yards. On the next play Sweet fumbled behind the line, Ross receiving, but the Juniors lost five yards on the play and the ball on downs. Mandell ' s pass to McGowan was knocked down by Sweet, but the next one, Mandell to Currier, made two yards. On a fake pass Mike went through right guard for six yards. With two yards to go for first down, Sullivan bucked left guard for only a yard, the Juniors therefore getting the ball on downs. A pass from Sweet to Washburn brought the ball to the Sophs fourteen-yard line. Ross couldn ' t gain through center, but the Sophs were offside on the play and were there- fore penalized five yards, bringing the ball to the Sophs ' nine-yard line. 81 THE PICKOUT 1920 Sweet hit right guard for the remaining distance and brought the ball to the four-yard line and first down.

Mandell punted to Ross, who was tackled in his tracks. On an attempted forward by Sweet he was tackled for a ten-yard loss. The next pass. Sweet to R. Hadley, was knocked down by Currier. Sweet then kicked to Sullivan, who fumbled the ball, which rolled offside, where the Sophs recovered it. A pass, Mike to McGowan, was incomplete, and one to Sullivan was also incomplete. Mandell tried still another pass, which failed, and then he kicked to offside on his own thirty-yard line. Sweet then tried right tackle for a yard. On the next play the Juniors fumbled, but Ross recovered. Pal Moore then took the ball off right tackle for a touchdown. On the way to the goal-line Pal collected two headgears.

Their men were just fresh from either prep school or high school teams and formed a combination that easily stopped the fives of the upper classes. Also they had a very great abundance of material, and it was indeed difficult to pick the five most suitable men. Their best working combination, however, consisted of Fountaine and Keefe, forwards; Schneider, centre; and Whittier and Neff, backs. The series did not last very long as only three games were played and only one of these was close. This was the 1922-23 game, which was the first and the only one in which real basketball was shown. The passing of both teams was very good, but the shooting was slightly off color and a low score was the result. The Freshies broke the ice when Schneider caged a free try, and then the score see-sawed back and forth with the yearlings having a slight bulge at the end of half time — Freshmen 11, Sophomores 9. The Sophs immediately tied the score as play was resumed, but the Freshmen caged tw r o baskets in rapid succession and the score was 15-11 in favor of ' 23. The game was becoming very interesting when suddenly out went the lights and hos- tilities were over. About eight minutes remained of the second half, but the two captains were unable to come to an agreement, and finally the advisory committee awarded the game to ' 23. For ' 23 Schneider and Fontaine excelled, while Goulet featured for the Sophs. The Freshmen-Senior game was a lulu. Wotkowicz was the only senior to have a suit, and not one of the other four men even had sneakers. Suhlke played through the game in a big pair of army shoes and managed to finish without maltreating the toes of any of the freshmen. The Seniors were at a great disadvantage and were hopelessly outclassed anyway, and at the close of the game the Freshmen were far in the lead. 1923, 35; 1920, 6. The Juniors were in the same situation as the Seniors as regards equipment, but Ellis had a pair of sneakers that he stole somewhere. The game was close for the first fifteen seconds, and then the parade began. Cochran thought he was playing football one time, for he grasped the ball and then casually meandered down the floor and shot a basket. However, he inadvertently forgot to dribble, and as he only took fifteen or twenty steps, the basket was not allowed. The timers charitably cut the game short, and at the time of the final whistle, the score stood 1923, 32; 1921, 12. 87 Front Row — Young, Donovan, Rosche Second Row — Mullaney, Berlin, Goldman, Noon, Forsaith Third Row — Clayton, Marshall, Morey, Sweet, Washburn BASEBALL 1918 Moses H.

Early in the season Mullaney, a new man, showed signs of being a fence-buster, and he surely lived up to his reputation, being a terror to all pitchers whom he faced. Berlin also showed up to good advantage in batting and in fielding and it was he who pitched most of our games. Rosch, who was transferred from the pitcher ' s box to the outfield, developed into sure death for fly balls, and his catch in the Wentworth Institute game is still remembered by those who saw the game. Charlie Forsaith, as in 1917, showed that he could still cover a lot of ground in the outfield, and make catching flies look easy; he also proved a valuable man at times in the infield at third base. Dutch Clayton proved to be a regular whirlwind at shotstop, like a rabbit on his feet, with glue in his glove, and with an arm that threw a ball like a rifle shot; Dutch certainly proved he was there, but alas, Dutch couldn ' t play Saturdays, and as a result Noone held down the position on Saturdays, and did a good job of it. In addition Noone pitched the game against Andover, allowing them but three hits, and leading up to victory with a 7 to 1 score. Sweet started the season at third base, but was shifted to second base after the second game. He, as is his custom, played his usual steady game in the field, not shining at times, but always reliable; his stickwork was likewise steady. Scanlon at second base, and later at third, proved to be a very good man in fielding as he had been in 1917. At the catcher ' s position were found Marshall, Donovan, Lemire and Goldman, all of whom took a turn at the job, the first two dividing up most of the games between them; with Lemire alternating at times. Captain Goldman returned to his old position, as catcher, twice during the year, in the Andover game, and in the Camp Devens game; most of the season, however, he spent at first base, due to the lack of first basemen when Berlin was pitching. Young and Scott proved to be valuable substitutes, the latter showing evidence of being a slugger, and should be a valuable man next year. The outlook for 1919 is a very good one for only Donovan and Young are lost from the team. All in all the season was a very good one, for considering conditions, we did exceedingly well, losing the first two games, but winning the last four games for a 667 average. 90 THE PICKOUT 1920 The games follow: Exeter 18, Textile 1 The least said about this game the better; our inexperienced team was no match for the hard-hitting Exonians; as for our fielding, well, we had good-looking suits and gloves. That ' s all. We started fine with Berlin scoring a run for us in the first inning, and then: — The redeeming feature of the game was the fact that Mullaney connected for a clean hit, and thus broke up the Exonian pitcher ' s hope for a no-hit game. Camp Plunkett 11, Textile 5 We were again beaten by ourselves on our own campus for the boys fielded wretchedly behind Berlin who was on the slab, and he helped things along by being wild. However, every once in awhile the team played very good baseball, and certainly showed an improvement in batting. Textile 14, Lawrence Academy 12 With our coach absent to be examined for the army, and Captain Goldman in charge, the boys went at Lawrence Academy, and in a free hitting contest Textile won its first game. The game was a pure slug-fest from the start, and with Mul- laney and Berlin leading us, we certainly made the old hickory stick give up some of its hits. Everyone on the team of course contributed his share. Textile 7, Andover 1 With Noone in the box, Berlin on first, and Goldman at his old job, we certainly made Andover sit up and take notice. The game was called in the first of the seventh by Andover because of a mutual agreement arranged before the game to stop at 4 p.m. At the time, however, we had men on first and second with no one out, so you see more runs would undoubtedly have come our way. Noone allowed only three hits, while the infield turned in three double plays, all being started by Scanlon at third base. Mullaney and Goldman were the hitting stars; while Clayton at short accepted seven hard chances without a slip-up. Textile 9, Wentworth Institute 8 Here again Textile came to the fore on its own campus in a game closer than the score indicates. Textile first took the lead, then Wentworth, who kept it until the last of the eighth. Then with the score 7-6 against us, Scott, after one out, doubled to center field, and after the second out, Berlin, our pitcher, put the ball over the right field fence for a home run, thus putting us into the lead again. Due to a two-base hit after two were out in the ninth, and due to an excusable error by Mul- laney after a hard run, they tied the score. However, Mullaney, first man up in the ninth, singled, stole second and third, and scored on Noone ' s out at first, giving us the game, 9-8. They were allowed to steal bases at will and even to steal home with our pitcher coaching them on and holding the ball, but not throwing it. Everybody got a few hits in this game and helped close a season that looked dubious at the start. 91 ClaftS ame$ Freshmen vs. Sophs. (1918) First Game. With vengeance in their eye for the football beating of 1917, the Freshies fell on the Sophs, in the first inning, for six runs before Noone could be rushed to the rescue of Wotkowicz, who made his debut as a pitcher. That the Sophs later scored four runs and that the Freshies added two more to their first six, mattered not, for the game was won in that first-inning onslaught. The features of the game were the hitting of Washburn and the all-around playing of Berlin and Clayton for the Freshies and the playing of Scott, Noone and Forsaith for the Sophs. Second Game. Determined to prove that the better team had not won before, the Sophs went at the Freshies a week later in their second game. The Freshies presented the same lineup, but the Sophs presented the same men in different position, Scanlon opposing Rosch, and Noone and Goldman interchanging in the infield. The Freshies could do nothing with Scanlon, while the Sophs found Rosch, when hits meant runs. As a result the game ended with the same score as the previous one, 8-4, but this time the Sophs were on the long end of it. The features of the game were the playing of Clayton and Berlin for the Freshies, while Scanlon ' s twirling and Forsaith ' s playing excelled for the Sophs. Third Game (Upstream Day). The final of the Freshman-Sophomore series certainly drew the crowd, and there were many backers for both teams. Berlin, the first varsity pitcher, was in the box for the Freshies, and Noone, the second-string varsity pitcher, was in the box for the Sophs. Marshall, the varsity catcher, was behind the bat for the Freshies and Scott was in the same position for the Sophs. Sweet, Clayton and Rosch, the latter an outfielder, the other two infielders, were the remaining varsity men in the Freshies ' lineup. For the Sophs, in addition to Noone who, when not pitching, was an infielder on the varsity team, was Captain Goldman of the varsity, Forsaith, Scanlon and Young. The Sophs at once took the lead by batting in three runs in the first. In the third the Freshies got back a run, and the game stood three to one until the first of the last inning. The Freshies then tied the score, aided by timely hits and some weird fielding. In their half of the ninth the Sophs couldn ' t score, the game there- fore going into extra innings. The Freshies went scoreless in the tenth, but a hit, a steal, and an error, followed by another hit, scored the winning run for the Sophs, bringing the game to them, 4-3, and the series, two to one. The features of the game were the pitching of Noone, the fielding of Almquist, and the playing of Scanlon and Forsaith at short and third, respectively, for the Sophs. For the Freshies, Berlin excelled with his twirling, M arshall in his catching, and Rosch in fielding. 92 Front Row — Mtjllaney, Hart, Clayton, Noone, Doyle Top Row — Goulet, Sweet, Berlin, Marble, Mahoney, Goldman, Caffrey, Forsaith BASEBALL 1919 Goldman, c.

The services of Michael Haggerty were obtained as coach. The only criticism to be offered toward the coaching was the lack of system and the failure to use inside baseball. The team was greatly strengthened by the return of two men from the service. These men were Asa Hart and Henry Doyle. Hart was easily the star of the season both in fielding and batting. Doyle held down third base against all comers during the entire season, and turned in some good games with many remarkable stops. (Capt.) Mullaney and Scott pulled off several Babe Ruth stunts during the year, and were rated among the heavy hitters. Scott busted up the Fitchburg game with a three-bagger, which was a line drive to the building. Clayton at short and Marble at second played their positions with phenomenal speed, cutting off many a runner at first, after sensational stops. They will be a hard combination to beat and will no doubt give a good account of themselves in the season of 1920. Goldman and Goulet tended to the receiving end in a very capable manner. The hardest problem was to discover a pitcher where there did not seem to be one. The team was certainly weak in this respect, and in many cases clever fielding won the games. Noone turned in his best game at New Hampshire State. He had them eating out of his hand all the way, and they never had a chance of winning. Caffrey turned in a very good game against Huntington and Groton, but was handi- capped by an injury to his thumb, received while playing in a class game. Taking the above facts into consideration, the team did very well, and is to be congratulated on its successful season. Cla s baseball Spring 1919 The first interclass games in competition for the Textile Cup started off with the Juniors and Sophs crossing bats, the former being heavy favorites due to their previous year ' s record, and also because they had six regulars in their lineup. How- ever, team work on the part of the Sophs prevailed, and as a result the game ended at the close of the fifth by agreement, the Juniors trailing by a 6-2 score. The pitching and hitting of Sweet featured the game. The second game of the interclass series proved to be an easy victory for the Sophs over the poor Freshies. Once more the pitching of Sweet featured the game for the Sophs, while Berlin and Washburn, by their hitting, aided him in getting a lead. The outstanding feature of the game, however, was the hitting of Goulet, the Freshies ' catcher, and the pitching of Cafl ' rey, who struck out ten men in six and one-third innings.

The pitching of No one for the Juniors and Marble for the Freshies was all that could be desired, the former allowing two hits, and the latter six scattered hits. Forsaith and Almquist led with the stick for the Juniors, while Morris proved to be there in a pinch by putting the tying and winning run over by a two-base hit. Derby ' s fielding at third featured for the Freshies. Score, Juniors 4; Freshies, 3. The Sophs put the finishing touches to their baseball season and won the cup for the year by beating the Seniors Upstream Day by a score of 9-4. Sweet was touched up for more hits than usual, but the Seniors couldn ' t bunch them enough to win. The Sophs ' top of the batting order did deadly execution with the stick, and as a result after the fifth inning the Seniors were out of the running. Features were the pitching and hitting of Lupe and the hitting of Clayton, Anderson, Lemire, Washburn and Berlin. n.5 9atfefaaU 1920 fflv. Malttx Clarfegon gelecteo a Coact) for Uotoell textile Jteeball QDeam Textiles baseball stocks have increased considerably in the last few weeks due to the arrangement of a very strong schedule and the selection of the best coach that any college can boast of. Mr. Walter Clarkson, at present owner of the Walkover Shoe Store in Lowell, has agreed to handle the destinies of the baseball squad and will have his battery candidates trying out very shortly. Because of his training, temperament, and exceptional ability he is very well fitted for the position. He was captain of two of the strongest baseball teams in the history of Harvard, in 1903 and 1904, and was beyond doubt the greatest fielding and hitting pitcher that ever donned a baseball uniform for the Crimson. He was a natural leader of men and typified all that American Colleges stand for, viz: clean athletics and sportsmanship as well as gentlemanly conduct toward teammates and opponents alike. He was the type of student leader that commanded absolute respect from his superiors as well as from the entire student body. After leaving college, he went immediately into the ranks of professional base- ball and pitched winning ball for three years with the New York Americans at the time when Happy Jack Chesbro and Wee Willie Keeler were at their best for New York. He was then transferred to Cleveland, where he pitched equally effective ball with such men as Nap Lajoie, Turner, Addie Joss, Harry Bay, and Bemis as teammates. While at Cleveland he secured an interest in the Walkover Shoe Store and retired from baseball. During his stay with New York he devoted a part of the spring season to coaching West Point, where he had considerable success. The followers of baseball who can remember twenty-five years back will recall the name of Clarkson in baseball circles almost continuously. It can readily be seen from this brief resume that, by experience, training, and almost by nature he possesses all of the characteristics that can be embodied in an ideal coach. He has a wide knowledge of so-called inside baseball and is a firm believer in a strong code of ethics for amateur baseball. The combination of coach, material, and schedule should be such as to demon- strate that first, last, and always Lowell Textile School is the equal of any of the smaller New England Colleges. Let the student body make the most of the opportunities and support the team either by being a candidate for the team or by attending practice and every game. We also hope that all of the alumni who find it possible will cooperate both financially and by their presence at the home games. 96 u Mu VttKOWtrtfr Svn £T Commencement program 1918 Overture, Titania — Hildreth Orchestra Selection from the Comic Opera, Maytime — Romberg Orchestra Address of Welcome A.

The Sigma Omega Psi Fraternity, composed of students of the Lowell Textile School, was installed January 23, 1920, by Mr. E. E. Wolfe of Worcester, Mass. Mr. Wolfe is a member of the Theta Chapter at the Worcester Polytechnic Insti- tute. The other party active in the installation of this fraternity was Mr. George J. DuBoff of the Beta Chapter, Columbia University. New York City. The hope of this organization is to promote a high standard of textile and of other branches of education among students of textile and scientific schools. The fraternity at Lowell is the outgrowth of the Six-Tex Club which was formed early in the fall of 1919. The Sigma Omega Psi is a national fraternity whose main office is at the Alpha Chapter at the College of the City of New York. The roll of chapters is as follows: A — Alpha: College of the City of New York. B — Beta : Columbia University. r — Gamma: Bellevue Medical University. A — Delta: New York University (Commerce). E — Epsilon: Jefferson Medical University. Z — Zeta : New York Dental College. H — Eta: Lowell Textile School. © — Theta: Worcester Polytechnic Institute. A — Lambda: New York Law School. Dartmouth.

April 9, 1920 By Whom The L. T. S. Troupe Reward A Good Show After an absence of two years, the theatrical troupe of the Lowell Textile School will make its reappearance at Colonial Hall on the evening of April ninth. It offers for approval Carlyle Moore ' s three-act farce, entitled, Stop Thief. This play is very cleverly written, and it is assured that both the male and female members of the company will do full justice to their respective parts. It will be a night of merriment for all who attend, as the comedy is one continuous roar from the opening to the final drop of the curtain. The music of the evening is to be fur- nished by the L. T. S. orchestra. The committee in charge consists of Mortimer T. Farley, chairman, J. Milton Washburn, Jr., Charles Forsaith, Joseph Precourt, and Josiah A. Rice. Mr. James Guthrie Dow is the faculty manager. The cast in order of their appearance are: — JOAN CARR • . Walter F. Wheaton MRS. CARR Leonard E. Wilcox CAROLINE CARR John J. McCann MADGE CARR ....

This developed into a real musical club organ- ization, with Roger C. Hamlin as president of the combined clubs, S. D. Mandell business ma nnger, C. H. Baird secretary, and E. K. Hull faculty treasurer. The organizations represented were a Glee Club and a Banjo- Mandolin Club: R. F. Hadley was chosen to look out for the interests of the Glee Club, while Hamlin was elected leader of the Banjo-Mandolin Club. Several rehearsals were held to prepare a few numbers for a smoker, and the Christmas recess over- took us. After the Christmas vacation interest was revived and a number of rehearsals were held by the Banjo-Mandolin Club in preparation for a concert under the direction of the Textile Chris- tian Association. This concert, given entirely by the musical clubs, was without question a great success. All the numbers were applauded until encores were rendered; it was even mentioned that the concert was better than Keith ' s. From this con- cert the school realized that there was a variety of excellent talent in the school and also that a musical club formed an essential part of the student life. 127 tEfje . %. C. ©ante On the morning of November 23, 1918, volunteers were called to mop the decks for the S. A. T. C. Ball to be held that even- ing! The gobs made good use of their previous training (???) and scrubbed the barracks floor until it actually shone. The cots and lockers had been previously removed from the hall, so that ample space would be obtained for the dancers. The committee had obtained decorator Young to transform the hall from a bar- racks into a real dance-hall, and he certainly knew how! Am- erican flags were everywhere to be seen artistically draped, and red, white and blue bunting was in abundance. No prettier setting could have been given for such a military affair. Invitations had been sent out to the friends of the members of the S. A. T. C. and Naval Unit, and at seven o ' clock the hall was well filled with the fellows and their young lady friends. The military and naval uniforms with the patriotic decorations, made a very striking picture. The music was furnished by the Copley Plaza Orchestra, which indeed lived up to its reputation. The orchestra was situated in the center of the hall, and was surrounded by numerous palms, allowing the dancers to encircle them. In the middle of the evening a buffet lunch was served by D. L. Page and Co., and was a very agreeable part of the evening ' s program. Between each course the dancing continued. The lunch consisted of a fruit salad, chicken patties and rolls, ice cream and cake, and demi-tasse. If you don ' t believe it was enjoyed, just ask one of the fellows who were there! The program consisted of twenty-four dances, and promptly at twelve o ' clock the final waltz was played, much to the regret of the participants. The patronesses of the affair were Airs. Charles N. Cecil, Mrs. Charles H. Eames and Mrs. Louis A. Olney. H. W. Stevens was chairman of the committee, and he was assisted by Arthur J. Anderson, E. Alfred Beals, Harold E. Clay- ton, Thomas C. Cochran, Edgar Hawley, Nelson M. Silk, and J. Milton Washburn. Lieutenant Nichols, however, was the one responsible for the dance, and it was due to his untiring efforts that the affair was run off in such a successful manner. 128 THE PICKOUT 1920 Senior ©ance jHap 2, 1919 The class of 1919 is to be congratulated for running such a successful dance on Friday, May 2, 1919, at Colonial Hall. The hall was decorated here and there with College and Fraternity emblems, and the pretty evening dresses added a touch of exquisite beauty to the whole affair. This plucky class deserves special credit for the success of the dance, when you consider the fact that our Athletic Association declared a dance was impossible this year, due to the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the student body. The class of 1919 must have fully realized that this dance was to be the last one which they could enjoy while students at t he L. T. S., for they certainly put a lot of energy into making it the great success it was. Sav- age ' s orchestra was right up to time with the latest dance music. The splendid music, too, helped the happy couples to enjoy the evening thoroughly. At inter- mission our appetites were satisfied when Charlie Scharf served us with re- freshments. The committee in charge consisted of Messrs. Merrill Morris, Carroll L. Brainerd, F. Earl Gooding and Raymond R. Stevens. textile ©ante The annual school dance was held in Kitson Hall, Friday evening, December twelfth, and proved to be a great success. An even hundred couples attended, and the hall was not too crowded to enjoy the dancing to the extreme. The hall was attractively decorated in red and white bunting, and lace cur- tains decorated the windows, while from the ceiling American flags were artis- tically draped. The double line of posts down the center of the hall had American flags draped around them and school and fraternity banners decorated the corners of the room very pleasingly. The orchestra held sway in the center of the hall on a platform covered with lattice work and banners. Lowe ' s orchestra from Boston furnished the music, and if you don ' t believe it was good, ask some of those young ladies that could not get away from the platform to the center of the floor. During intermission ice cream and cake were served, and during the dances the punch bowl was always ready for patrons. The floor was in excellent condition, and with the special permission of the Fuel Administration, we were able to run the party till one o ' clock. A few of the alumni were present and enjoyed the evening with old-time zest. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Airs. Charles H. Eames, Mr. and Mrs U. J. Lupien, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Cushing and Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Ball. 129 THE PICKOUT 1920 ©micron $i Jf restfjntan Smoker On December 17, 1919. the Omieron Pi Fraternity held their annual Freshman Smoker at their new house. The fun began as soon as the first guest came in and lasted until the very end. The first part of the evening was devoted to smoking and listening to the music with which Skip Savage entertained the crowd. The place of honor was occupied by a large keg of cider, which never lacked a patron. Mr. Eames was the speaker of the evening, and after the talk, the refreshments were served. There were about one hundred present, including a number of the alumni. The guests included Mr. Eames, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Glenn, Mr. Barker, Mr. Lupien and Mr. Gyzander. ©micron $i House farming The new chapter house of Omieron Pi was formally opened Nov. 17, 1919, in the form of a House Warming . Besides the twleve men who are living in the house at the present time, the rest of the active chapter, and the follow- ing alumni were present: Prof. L. A. Olney; A. A. Stewart, ' 00; J. F. Dewey. ' 04; R. P. White, ' 04; A. J. Midwood, ' 05; E. B. Moore, ' 05; G. A. Messenger, ' 14; K. P. Park, ' 16; A. B. Adams, ' 14; K. M. Simpson, ' 15; N. P. Cubberly, ' 16; R. B. Lewis, ' 16; H. V.

Morse, ' 19. ©micron $i ffiance The Omieron Pi Fraternity held their first dance of the season on January 23, 1920, at the Highland Club hall, which was very appropriately decorated to re- semble a snowstorm. The fraternity men and their guests danced until one o ' clock, to music which was produced by four local boys. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Stewart and Mr. and Mrs. R. P. White. 130 THE PICKOUT 1920 ©micron $t Celebrates Cftrtsitma Since it was impossible for the members to celebrate Christmas at the proper time of the year, it was unanimously decided to have Santa Claus visit us the night before vacation instead of the night before Christmas. The party gathered in the den to await the arrival of Santa. We nearly decided that he had forgotten us when the dear old fellow made his appearance. It was later made public that the bewhiskered old gentleman was late because of the unusual Christmas rush at L. T. S. Santa, or as we know him, Walter Holt, entered in his Christmas disguise, which consisted of a red bathrobe and an L. T. S. cap. He promptly started to distribute the many presents among the eager group. I think it best not to say much about the presents, as it may prove embarrassing to some of us. I might add, in order to give an idea concerning them, that the first was given to Santa in the form of a bottle of hair-tonic. To complete the evening of pleasant and un- pleasant surprises, cider and cake appeared from the unknown, — ■ which was enjoyed by all. tKfje . !S. Z. C. mofeer The first smoker will long be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be there. The upper classmen surely put across a very successful affair in every respect. There were plenty of amusements, eats, and smokes, with perhaps the amusement end standing out most prominently. The manner in which it was conducted made it a form of surprise party to the Freshmen. The regular study-hour was called at seven, but at eight-thirty everyone was sent to the barracks to leave his books. In the meantime a chosen few removed the study-tables and set the seats in order in the assembly hall. It was then that the Freshmen became aware of the fact that something was to happen. About eight-forty -five we all gathered together in the hall. There were eats and smokes galore. Coffee, sandwiches, ice cream, cake, and cookies filled the tables in the side room. Everyone lent a hand and helped to serve (either himself or some one else). Cigarettes, T-D ' s, and tobacco on large trays were scattered about the hall. There was no such thing as running short of smokes. 131 THE PICKOUT 1920 The real hit of the evening was the high-class entertainment offered. Two acts were procured from Keith ' s Theatre, and also the local Honey Boy Four. The first two acts proved to be very satis- factory, taking into account both the ability and appearance of the entertainers. Our officers didn ' t call for volunteers to escort the young women to and from school, but did the job themselves. Very consider- ate of them, we must say. Follow- ing these acts, the Honey Boy Four took the floor and sang a few pop- ular songs in a way that filled the bunch with music and pep . We all got together and, led by the members of the quartet, did a snake dance around the bunks in the bar- racks. Each one tried his best to sing, b ut no one would dare to vouch for the resulting harmony. It was long past midnight before taps was sounded, but who cared? We were granted an additional hour of sleep the following morning. ©elta Eappa pfn Smoker On January 21, 1920, Beta Chapter held their Freshman Smoker at the Spauld- ing House on Pawtucket Street. About one hundred twenty-five students and instructors were present. Mr. Charles Ellis gave some clever impersonations of Harry Lauder and sang some Scotch songs. A four-round sparring bout was staged by Tommy Falls and Al Dimond, who mixed it up in a lively manner and created a great deal of interest. Refreshments were served by C. E. Babcock, caterer, after which the evening was spent in card-playing, speeches, and music. 132 THE PICKOUT 1920 $f)t $£i Smoker On Monday evening, November 24th, the Phi Psi fraternity, Gamma Chapter, held its Freshman Smoker. Nearly one hundred were present including several instructors and many of the old Textile alumni who came up from the Boston and Providence Alumni chapters. The early part of the evening was spent in becoming acquainted, and in showing the house to the Freshmen. Music was furnished by the Honey Boy Four with Paul Savage at the piano, and needless to say, each and every number was en- joyed. Out in the hall of the fraternity house a keg of sweet cider had been set up containing the wherewithall to quench the thirsts of everyone, and smokes were close at hand. Upstairs card parties were started in each room and it was soon plain to be seen that everyone was enjoying himself. Later refreshments were served consisting of sandwiches, home-made dough- nuts and cakes. The party broke up about half-past eleven and the pleasant even- ing was brought to a close. Belta Happa $fjt On January 30, 1919, the Freshman Smoker was held in the Paw tucket vi lie Boat House. A large number of Freshmen were present to hear Brother Roberts ' account of his experiences overseas. An interesting program was furnished, and refreshments were served. In the opinion of all who were present, the smoker was a huge success. The initiation was quite spectacular both on the street and in the classroom, and the stunts performed under the shadow of the paddle were interesting and amusing (to all except the Freshmen). The period of torture was brought to a fitting climax on Friday evening, March 7, at Keith ' s Theatre, when the candidates for admission entertained the audience with a program that would shame Shakes- peare or Al Jolson. To quote from the Text of March 13, It is doubtful if such a combination of finished and internationally known actors have ever been assembled at one time upon the stage. Nary ' s song, The Irish Kaiser, sung (?) to the tune of the Wearing of the Green , brought forth such a perfect delugt of offerings from orchestra, balcony, and boxes, that he was compelled to withdraw. On May 24, 1919, the Beta Chapter of Delta Kappa Phi closed its school year with a reunion and banquet at the New American House in Boston. On November 25, 1919, Mahoney, Shanahan, Vogel and Woodhead were ad- mitted to Beta Chapter. 133 Mi 3M Social Cbents $f)t $sri Jfrestyman banquet Gamma Chapter House, 28 Mt.

During the first days of the S. A. T. C. a group of students interested in the welfare of the school organized the Textile Christian Association and elected the following temporary officers: President, J. Milton Washburn; Vice- President, Boris Lewstein; Secretary, Harold E. Clayton; and Treasurer, A. Edwin Wells. Committees were made, and chairmen appointed to aid in carrying out the work among the students. In accordance with the policy of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. to serve the soldiers and sailors, Mr. Edward B. Williston was sent as secretary to the school He had barely become acquainted and started in his work when the order for demobilization arrived. The War Work Council voted to continue their support of the work on the college campuses, thus allowing Mr. Williston to remain at Textile and help in carrying out the work of the Association. A nominating committee was appointed from among the members of the Association, and the following students were elected as officers: President, Harold E. Clayton; Vice-President, Charles D. Potter; Secretary, John T. Goosetrey; Treasurer, Frank M. Sanborn. The school very kindly fixed up a room in Southwick Hall and turned it over to the use of the Association. With a membership of eighty-five students, and pro- vided with a room and officers, the future of the Association seemed bright. tE. C. . €mplopmenr Bureau Among the first undertakings of the Textile Christian Association was the formation of an employment bureau, whereby work was provided for the students desiring it. Employment cards were sent out to the local merchants, about forty students ' names were sent to the Government Employment Bureau, and the Secretary of the Lowell Board of Trade was consulted. Z. C. S. Athletic Cup In order to further interclass spirit in athletics, the Textile Christian Associa- tion, through the generosity of Professor Olney, Mr. R. P. White, Mr. Howe and Mr. Williston, presented to the school a handsome loving-cup. The class champions in football, baseball, and basketball, each year, will have their numerals engraved on the cup. 136 THE PICKOUT 1920 Jf restfjman bulletin The first Freshman Bulletin of Textile, was gotten up and published by the Textile Christian Association, at the close of school in June 1919, and copies were sent to the incoming Freshmen. The book contained reference to the activities of the school and other matters pertaining to the welfare of the new men. It is hoped in the future to increase the size of the book, and to make it of more value to the new students. Report of Jlortftftelb Conference textile delegation John T. Goosetrey Richard Hittinger Y. T. Chou Arthur Goosetrey J. Milton Washburn S. E. Chen The first student conference at which Textile has been represented was certainly one worth while to the Textile delegates. The Conference was held on the grounds of the Northfield Seminary in the Berkshire Hills, in a very picturesque spot. The delegates were quartered in the various dormitories and tents, and we were fortunate to secure two corner rooms in Gould Hall, which is the new and model dormitory. There were delegates from practically every college in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia present at the Conference. Over sixteen different nations were represented, and the friendly and brotherly spirit which existed, made everyone feel acquainted. textile jStgfjt at ttje Hotoell J9. Jffl. C. 3. The big night for the T. C. A. was Wednesday, February 26, 1919. By the kindness of the officers of the local Y. M. any member of L. T. S. was given free rein in the building from cellar to roof. All kinds of sports were indulged in from a track meet down to billiards. In the inter-fraternity bowling match Phi Psi copped the honors, with Dick Hittinger as a star. Some good bowling was shown by the fellows; keeping the pin boys busy ducking and setting up pins. The Freshmen fell down in the track meet, owing to the speed of Washburn and Bidwell, but came back strong and handed the Sophs a drubbing on the basket- ball floor by the score of 6 to 1. Goulet proved a star for the Freshmen, and it took about all the Sophomores ' time keeping him away from the basket. The Seniors bowed to the Juniors in basketball and recognized them as victors, although by a narrow margin. 137 THE PICKOUT 19 20 Wotkowicz came through for the Juniors in the pool tournament, defeating Nary, Berlin and Mullaney, who represented the other classes. Last but not least came the swimming match. More than one unknown Venus was brought out, McCauley, Schwarz and Cockroft proving exceptionally speedy men. The twenty-yard dash went to the Sophomores through the good work of Washburn, who also saved the day for them by just beating out McCauley in the last lap of the relay. The plunge for distance, however, went to the Fresh- men, Derby hanging up a record of 43 feet. The Juniors and Seniors split even, with the honors for the dash going to the Seniors, but the plunge to the Juniors. Everyone had an exceptionally enjoyable time, and though there were many lame backs and aching heads next day, all were glad that they had gone. We feel indebted to the Lowell Y. M. for their splendid cooperation and hope for close r relationships with them in the future. Pack to tfje parracfeg Supper On March 19, 1919, the Textile Christian Association furnished the school with another good time with its back to the barracks supper. The attendance was large, for the size of the school, and the instructors were also well represented. The supper was thoroughly enjoyed by all, although it ended in a bombardment of hard tack, which drove everyone to cover. The principal guest present was Mr. John F. Salmon, who served overseas with the Knights of Columbus for more than a year. Mr. Salmon has seen a great deal of action and certainly proved a very interesting speaker. In addition to the numerous anecdotes and stories, which he told, he had one of the most complete collections of war souvenirs ever exhibited by one man. The fellows were entertained by Mr. Salmon for over an hour. After this they had the pleasure of examining the sou- venirs more closely, and for a few minutes the hall looked like a section of the battle- front — a helmeted head here, someone flourishing a pistol, another trying to work the machine gun and so on. When their curiosity was satisfied, the fellows de- parted, after having had another enjoyable evening. textile Christian Itestoctatton gibe a foetal The T. C. A. sprung a surprise on the school in the social held Wednesday, January 14. Most everyone in school knew that L. T. S. possessed a banjo-mandolin club and an orchestra, but few realized that they were capable of the brand of music offered during the evening. 138 THE PICKOUT 1920 There were over one hundred students present, and the programme, which consisted entirely of musical numbers, was a success from start to finish. The first number was given by the banjo-mandolin club, and after many encores the so-called syncopated seven took the floor. That their efforts were appreciated was shown by the rounds of applause following each number. Next came several vocal se- lections by Mr. Richard Hadley, and Dick proved that he could still sing as he used to in pre-war days. Mr. Lewstein then played some of his special Russian jazz(?) and was forced to answer two encores. Mr. Bird and his ukulele were then called upon, and he proved himself to be a master of the instrument, and surprised his audience with a very enjoyable bass voice. Three-sevenths of the syncopated seven gave several jazz selections, and were followed by Mr. Rice, who has a very fine tenor voice and gave his selections in a masterly manner. The orchestra and banjo-mandolin club then combined and played until refreshments were served. The party broke up shortly after nine, and everyone voted th e evening a grand success, and stated that they hoped to hear more from the musical clubs, and the other talent in the near future. 6W •« V; 7 ]3 J in JWemoriam Ulexanber . Cumnocfe Died, August 17, 1919 Alexander G. Cumnock, dean of the cotton manufacturing industry in New England, originator and one of the founders of the great Textile school in this city, and one of the foremost citizens of Massachusetts, died suddenly after a few hours ' illness on Sunday morning at the summer home of his daughter, Mrs. John Wood Blodgett, at Prides Crossing, Mass. Mr. Cumnock was born September 28, 1834, in Glasgow, Scotland, and had he lived another month would have been eighty -five years old. His father, Robert L. Cumnock, manufacturer, came with his wife and two children to this country in 1846. The family having settled in this city, Alexander, ambitious to succeed, eagerly availed himself of the educational opportunities offered by the public schools, becoming a pupil in the Edson grammar school. He devoted not only his days to study, but after work was over, his evenings as well, and added lessons in mathematics and mechanical drawing to his curriculum. Doubtless the progress thus made influenced him in later years in the part he took to make the Lowell Textile School available to young men unable to study during the daytime. The greatest monument to his life-work, however, is undoubtedly the Lowell Textile School, which, due to his foresight and interest, has played an important part in the industry of New England and throughout the country. 140 Br. Hetote $aul Cfjaptn Died, February 19, 1920 Dr. Lewis Paul Chapin, instructor in chemistry in both the day and evening classes, came to the Lowell Textile School in the fall of 1918. He worked his way through the University of Minnesota, obtaining the degree of B. S. in 1897. Then after spending two years at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he went to Germany to study at the University of Leipsic, where he received his Ph.D. in 1902. Since then he has taught four years at a private school at Winsted, Conn., and two years at the Lewiston High School, Lewiston, Maine, and later was the principal of Braintree High School, Braintree, Mass., the position which he held just prior to his coming to Lowell . It cannot be, I say it cannot be, Tis but a moment since he stood Here in our little group And smiled and spoke. A moment ' s flight, and then He passed through the gate That bars our view, Leaving us desolate. It cannot be, I say it cannot be, That he who moved among us, Winning us all by deeds and words Of quiet friendliness Has lived his few short years Only to slip away Into the vanished past A sad sweet memory. It cannot be, I say it cannot be, Such men can never die, He lives beyond the gate: And when our turn shall come To step across the threshold Into a world more fair, He will be first of those Who meet and greet us there. 141 THE PICKOUT 19 20 tlltam iL Wilcox Died, February 20, 1920 Mr. William B. Wilcox, our genial janitor, was with us so long that he seemed an essential part of Lowell Textile School. He was the first man to come into South- wick Hall in January, 1903, when the school was moved up from its former location on Middle Street. Not only was Mr. Wilcox interested in his own work, but in everything pertaining to the improvement and development of the school. His willingness to do the many little favors which his associates and the students often asked of him made them all his friends. 1« First Row — Merrill, Wells, Lewstein, Symmes Second Row — Smith, Boylston, Forsaith, Clayton, Gushing Third Row — Marshall, Neugroschl, Russell, Washburn, Worthen TEXT 143 THE PICKOUT 1920 Ufa Original tEexf g taff of 1919 Editor-in-Chief Charles H.

Marshall tTOfje tEext On February 1, 1919, a new function was originated at the Lowell Textile School, in the appearance of The Text, a weekly paper, which had for its aims and objects, as stated in the first issue, the following: 1. Our first and most important aim is to create and promote school spirit. 2. To form some kind of a connecting link between the present students, the faculty, and the alumni. 3. To make our school name better known among other schools and colleges. 144 THE PICKOUT 1 9 20 4. To give to all students, instructors, and alumni a chance to express through our paper any facts which they may have, that would be of in- terest to Textile men. 5. We do not wish to taks the place of the yearly book, but simply get out a paper each week, which we think is I he only way to keep up the inter- est of the students in their school. During the remainder of the school year of 1919 the paper appeared weekly. Beginning in the fall and up until the present time the paper has come out once every two weeks, which after much consideration on the part of the management, seemed to suit conditions best. Up to the present time we feel that we can truly say that we have accomplished and are accomplishing each and every one of our aims stated above. How do we know this? First, by the solid backing of Faculty, Student Body, and Alumni, not only in a financial way, but also by their words of encouragement, their spirit of cooperation, etc. As for the future, let us say that we will strive to the best of our ability to continue in the fulfilling of these five principles. What are the hopes of The Text? These we enumerate as follows : 1. That we shall continue the fulfilling of our five aims and objects as set forth in our first issue, and to see that the staff which follows us shall keep them in view. 2. That as the school continues to grow, the paper shall keep pace with it, becoming a weekly again in the near future. 3. That no staff will ever try to use the paper for the benefit of one party, class, or faction, but shall maintain the spirit of impartiality, as we have endeavored heretofore. That The Text will grow better and better year after year. U5 Cejcttlt Eimc|) Whom is the lunch managed by? At present by a few students, but it is hoped in the near future to have it under the control of the Textile Cooperative Society, a much-dreamed-of but nevertheless a bound to come organization. The facilities of the lunch are very good, especially as far as the cookery is concerned. . Practically all of the equipment, including a double hotel range, a large gas stove, a steamer, a soup mixer and all the pots, pans, etc., which were used by the S. A. T. C. have been left by the government, and these are now being used by the lunch. The dining-room, which will accommodate about sixty, is attract- ively decorated with pictures of athletic teams, show casts and numerous Textile pictures. 146 Second Row — Clarke, McKay, Southern, Nelson, Haley, Cooney, Haddad First Row — Hager, McQuesten, Salvail, Hoffeneai, Villemaire, Johns, Saucmares FEDERAL BOARD MEN Vocational e=eUucatton The Federal Board of Vocational Education has selected the Lowell Textile School as a training school for some of our disabled soldiers desiring to claim the benefits available to them in return for services rendered to Uncle Sam. The class consists of about twenty men, most of whom have special medals of credit or Croix de Guerres. The boys are handicapped in many ways, some with an arm missing, some a leg gone and others gassed; and yet they all are wonders when it comes to working. One fellow with a wooden arm runs a loom with an iron hook for a right arm; draws in his own ends, and threads his shuttle, as well as a fellow with two good hands. Uncle Sam is paying these men their tuition, as well as compensation to take care of them while they are in school, and if they do as well in their studies as they did in the war they will be great men some day. jftbtxal 28oarb ffltn Samuel H.

On the second anniversary of that event, and during the worst blizzard in twenty years, the YD men of Textile journeyed to Boston. All traffic was delayed, and it was long after six o ' clock when the gang reached Hotel Vendome. Finally, when all was ready, we filed into the banquet hall, Matty in the lead as was usual in regard to mess-lines. Holden called the roll, and everyone from shave-tail to buck answered Here! or Yes! in a manner that showed overseas training. All went well, if we excuse one buck for saying, Lord, here comes some slum! But he was wrong, it was soup. Course after course was served, while between times the boys sang the old A. E. F. favorite, Hinky Dinky, Parlez- Vous, with its nine hundred and ninety-nine verses, including the postlude. After the ice cream and demi-tasse, we could eat no more. It was then that Banty Ross asked for prunes. At quarter of eight we left the Vendome and headed for the Colonial Theatre where we were entertained by the musical comedy, She ' s a Good Fellow. At eleven o ' clock the boys all made a break for the subway and boarded cars bound for the North Station. We reached our homes at various hours during the next day, some having to stay in Boston over-night. Everyone agreed that the evening was well-spent, one Yank going so far as to insist that The water was fine! 149 dr. mm condition REMAINS UNCHANGED  v 0 s Es -ss ss- ' CHICK ' HUSE OFF FOR HAWAII Cbttorial £atz$ What with such new organizations as the Textile Christian Association, the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, The Text, and the Textile Lunch, one wonders what will be next. Before many moons life will not be worth living without a Textile Debating Society and a Checker Club. Boston University ' s basketball manager sent a letter to Textile asking for a game, and signed it Impatience Personified. He isn ' t half as impatient as we are to meet B. U. on the diamond and gridiron in the future. The largest Freshman class in the history of Textile entered school last fall. We wonder if even this record won ' t be broken next year. A Sophomore complained to an instructor on the chemistry side that because of being an engineer, he was being marked unfairly. It is about time that lower classmen got such nonsensical truck out of their heads. Perhaps the greatest asset athletics could receive would be the placing of a professional coach on the faculty, to take charge of all sports. It is true that such a move would cost the school several thousand dollars, but winning teams coached by such a man would more than repay Textile by giving the school the sort of advertising it needs. It pays to advertise. How about it, Board of Trustees? It seems that with so many mills and chemical plants in the vicinity of Lowell, visits to them could be arranged more frequently than they have been arranged in the past. The Senior chemistry and dyeing class has been having recitations wherein the subject has been, Things a Fourth Year Man Should Know about Dyeing. The discussions, led by Professor Olney, are lively and interesting. Honestly, it ' s surprising how much one can forget in two years ' time. How about such a plan in other departments? 151 THE PICKOUT 19 2 Speaking of school spirit, it has often come to our minds that Mr. Lupien has more downright Textile spirit in his system than many an undergraduate. To see Lupe howling like a Chippewa Indian at the B. U. game was to see one of Textile ' s strongest supporters. Lupe saw the Harvard-Yale game on the follow- ing day, but said that the Textile-B. U. affair had it beaten by a mile. We wonder when those long-needed and earnestly desired dormitories will ever be built. Why, if we ever should see such a building our faith in mankind would be rekindled anew. And then if we should ever be called students of the Massachusetts Textile Institute and be told, all in one breath, that our football team had just passed over a season undefeated, why, most of us would believe in Santa Claus again. Still you never can tell. Such things are not in the realms of the impossible. It was a good thing this war happened along or we would not have received the lumber for the barracks hall yet. One would think that in a scientific, school the size of Textile, scholarships would be more plentiful than they really are. True, there is the cotton medal, and a half-dozen odd cash prizes granted by the chemistry and dyeing department to students of high rank, but still as a whole, scholarships are lacking — painfully so. We wonder if it would be asking too much of the Alumni to establish a scholar- ship or even more than one. We hardly think so. It seems that the hundreds of Textile sons now in the business world would be more than willing to bind them- selves closer to their Alma Mater by raising a fund large enough to furnish cash prizes each year from the interest alone. It also seems that such scholarships could be dedicated to no better group than to the Alumni of old Textile who died in the late World War. Such a dedication would be a perpetual monument to their great sacrifice, a reminder to the younger men of the spirit of old Textile in the past, and an inspiration for all to work for themselves and for the school. Here is your chance, Alumni, to show the world that once a Textile man, always a Textile man. Let us see which class can raise the greatest contribution towards such scholarships, and may the best class win! 152 THE PICKOUT 19 20 float ' s in a i amc When the founders of this institution decided that the name Lowell Textile School was fitting and proper, so to speak, for Textile, they did so, little thinking that within a score of years it would outgrow the name school. They never realized for a moment that the educational scheme they had planned and put into being would so soon outgrow the romper age. As the fathers of old Textile saw it then, cotton and woolen manufacturing, designing, and dyeing, were to be the chief courses. But as time passed the courses became broader and new sub- jects were introduced until today Lowell Textile is the only textile school in the country that grants a degree to her fourth-year men who are graduated from the engineering or chemistry departments. What ' s in a name? Editorially, we could express ourselves very forcibly, but politeness limits us to a ' ' deuce of a lot . Stop and think for a moment. To the average person the name, Lowell Textile School implies an industrial school, a place where a man can learn to become a spinner, a weaver, or a second-hand in a dye-house. In other words, this institution — scientific from start to finish — has the reputation of being a place where one can learn a trade. But it is far from it. We believe and are confident that our training in Textile will do us as much good in our chosen lines of work, as a course in M. I. T., Worcester Polytech , Carnegie Tech., or scores of other scientific schools in America. If we didn ' t feel that way about the matter, nine out of every ten or us would go elsewhere. There is one other serious defect in this name School , which is really an injustice to students taking the day courses. As everyone knows, men who are obliged to work daytimes have the privilege of attending this institution at night and benefit by having the same instructors as the day students. Scores of times such men have represented themselves as graduates of Textile, have failed to make good on their bluff, and the reputation of the school suffers another blow. We do not mean to imply that the evening courses are inferior or that the evening men are less intelligent than day students, but we do mean to state that no night man gets the same training from the various courses that day students receive. And furthermore, we also believe that for this reason — if for no other — some distinction should be made between day and night men, and a change in name is the solution. Long before the war the student body, faculty and alumni voted for a change in name and elected a committee to bring matters to a head. Almost unanimously it was decided that our school should be called the Massachusetts Textile Institute, and then for some unknown reason, the petition drawn up by the New Name Committee went no further than the Board of Trustees. The war came along, most of the men at the head of the movement left school, and today we are still the Lowell Textile School. 153 THE PICKOUT 1920 Since then nothing has been done. However, the time is ripe for another drive , and undergraduates are realizing that the change desired is needed more than ever before. The new-name movement is bound to go on and gather momen- tum until some day our hopes will be realized. We sincerely believe that if the Philadelphia Textile School can become the Philadelphia College of Textile En- gineering, we can do no better than become the Massachusetts Textile Institute. We have the courses of instruction and the faculty to back up such a name, and while we are proud of the Lowell T extile School, we wish to be prouder still of our new designation. The Crimson and the Black is due for a booming, and once the school is named as it should be, we predict a wonderful growth for Textile. This institution is already the largest and most completely equipped textile school in the world — even the Germans admitted that — and offers courses in textile engineering and textile chem- istry that have no equal elsewhere. Only one thing is lacking that we need and that is the name Massachusetts Textile Institute. Alma Mater forever! Textile sons have naught to fear; Alma Mater forever! Give her then a rousing cheer, Rah! Rah! Rah! We will never forsake her, All our life adore her; Firm as adamant she stands. United as of yore. The Red and Black, boys, forevermore! Dcrt ;: v •v..

Over in the east, a faint tinge of gray warned all of approaching day. Another star-shell rose and broke into light. It was then that one saw that armed Yanks huddled below the sandbags, gripping their rifles in strong hands. The light again disappeared, and we saw no more. Two minutes to go! whispered an officer. A little scuffling at this, and again all became still. A German Maxim broke the silence as if . Suddenly the sky was filled with scores of orange and yellow flashes and the very heavens rocked as an American barrage fell on the Hun front line. Louder and louder grew that great volume of sound as battery after battery got into action and hurled steel at the enemy. In their little trench the Yankee doughboys listened in awe to the thunder of guns, realizing that but a few yards away, Germans — human like themselves — were being maimed, even killed. God! The steady roaring of artillery redoubled as the German batteries laid down a protective curtain of fire just ahead of their first line of defence — all at the behest of the terror-stricken Bavarians then in the lines. Let ' s go! called the officer in charge, and scrambling up out of their trench, two hundred Yanks moved slowly towards the German positions. Another raid was on. 156 THE PICKOUT 1920 Two simple little words, yet their equal has seldom been uttered by man. No masterpiece ever written has portrayed the true spirit of America as have those two words — the Yankee slogan. It was used for all occasions. During the hard grind of an all-night hike, when aching feet dragged at each step the soldier took and when many staggered like drunken men they were so fagged out, it was a cheery Let ' s go! that pulled the column through. If it was the maddening fatigue at the docks and supply depots where men worked and worked that those — more fortunate than themselves, perhaps — who fought up in the lines might not lack ammunition or food when needed most, here also it was always, Let ' s go! that spurred the stevedores to further effort. And when men went out into the heat of battles, armed with weapons of death and filled with the desire to kill — kill and move ahead, it was Let ' s go! that took them through the most hellish barrages, platoon by platoon, until finally all objectives were reached and the battle was won. But those days, thank Heaven, are gone. However, even now as civilians — or human beings according to some — we can do no better than follow the unknown paths of life that lie ahead with Let ' s go! as our motto, our slogan. The man who goes through life with a smile on his lips and Let ' s go! in his heart, is a man who can laugh at adversity and discouragement and yet be meek in success. He is a man who can look all comers squarely in the eye and feel that while perhaps he isn ' t the success he once planned to become in the ambitious dreams of youth, still he has done his best, which, after all, is everything. And finally, when the time comes for him to square accounts with his Maker, that man can leave this good old earth of ours in no better way than if he dies with a cheerful Let ' s go! on his lips. Let ' s go! textile i teebg a pm There are many reasons why Textile needs a gymnasium. This matter is second only in importance to the very urgent demand for dormitories. Perhaps we might state, first of all, that the general physical fitness of the student body would be increased from twenty-five to fifty per cent. It is needless to say that this is of im- portance. How many a chap gets up at eight or eight-thirty in the morning, and goes to school to sit around all day with no exercise but that acquired through walking to and from the instutition ! If he then puts in an evening of study, he will have spent twelve or thirteen hours with no real exercise whatsoever. Such a routine is harmful to any man, because it is unnatural. With a modern gymnasium, a strong inducement to get the essential relaxation would be at all times before the student body. 157 • THE PICKOUT 19 2 Then, too, if athletics are to be given a place of greater prominence in school life, as present plans indicate, such a gymnasium becomes a still greater necessity. There is certainly something wrong with the management of a modern college if this very important matter is allowed to slip by year after year without discussion. There are other uses to which such a building could be put. As any live school must have a certain amount of social activity, this gymnasium would be a very welcome asset. In it, commencement exercises, assembly meetings, dances, smokers, and like affairs, could be held. Something should be done this year to start things moving in the right direc- tion. Agreeing that this fact is generally recognized, we next ask ourselves, Who will start the movement? The answer is easy. The student body should formulate a campaign which will not be merely an inert decision that Lowell Textile School needs a gymnasium, but one that is operative. Let us make our wants known. If the State Legislature will not heed the demands of a petition signed by every student, and indorsed by the alumni, it fails its purpose as a representative of public opinion. As we are convinced that the need is existent, it is evident that something must be done. If the above mentioned plan is not feasible, let us hear from other stu- dents and devise a plan of operation. It should bring results, and could certainly do no harm. fjp Hotoell textile H cf)ool ifleebs 3Bormttorte£ There is no doubt that the greatest need of Lowell Textile School is a system of dormitories, open to all students of the institution. There are many reasons why such a system should be installed; there are none in opposition to it that are worthy of consideration. Perhaps the most important reasons can be listed under the following headings: — 1. The expenses of the average student would be reduced between fifteen and twenty-five percent. 2. A much more convenient arrangement for living would be established for the student body. 3. Good-fellowship would be promoted. At present the student must rent a room, and arrange for his table board. The room-rent will average from eight to fifteen dollars a month, depending largely whether or not he rooms alone. His board will cost him about thirty-four dollars a month. Under an efficient dormitory system, a sum nearly equivalent to that of the first item could be eliminated from his expense account. Certainly such a plan would be welcomed by the student body from a financial standpoint. 158 THE PICKOUT 19 20 Under the existing circumstances it is very hard to get suitable rooms near the institution. As the school grows, it may be anticipated that in the years to come it will be still more difficult. It is also very inconvenient to room at one place and board at another. Any person who has tried such an arrangement will agree with this statement. If dormitories were available, the above nuisance would be neatly disposed of. Last, but by no means least, is the fact that good-fellowship would be estab- lished throughout the entire school. The writer is somewhat sadly reminded of a statement made by Mr. Clarkson at a mass meeting early this fall. He said, Why, I should think that in a small school like this, every single fellow should be able to hail everyone else by his first name! After having been at Lowell Textile for nearly three months, the writer is far from able to do this, and believes that such is the case with a large majority of his classmates. It certainly seems wrong for a group of fellows of the calibre prevalent at old ' Textile to be so isolated from one another that the true college spirit is crowded down to that born of mass meetings and general school activities. fust TOnfemg 3Jt 0ber Not so long ago, the question of the Cap and Gown was under fire, and an avalanche of opinions was forthcoming on this subject. After thinking over the various comments and opinions given, one may discern a general feeling underlying them all. Suppose we consider some things responsible for this feeling. L. T. S. has meant to many men a place for light work, little study, and plenty of opportunity for recreation and amusement. Many students peruse the tabular view, with this thought in mind, and we note students here and there, who never have any text-books, and never take any notes, but simply drift and soldier along. After drifting until tired of it, or until some authority temporarily arouses himself into action, the student may gracefully become a special. Then he pro- ceeds to follow a life of ease and pleasure, until father ' s pocketbook collapses, or someone reckons that the specialist has completed his course. Only one name can be given to this practice. It is a trade-school practice; a relic of other days. Another form of drifting is also very prevalent. A student may float along from year to year, flunking subject after subject, until suddenly that student comes up with a bump, to find himself up against a stone wall. He must attend L. T. S. five or six years, or else drop out altogether. There is no flexible system of control or supervision. The student is not made to see the error of his ways, and corrected in his attitude by degrees. He is allowed to run the limit and then — disorderly retreat, as witness recent incidents. We may easily ask ourselves this question. Has L. T. S. any standard at all as regards a student ' s standing? Every- 159 THE PICKOUT 1920 thing points to a negative answer. We find ourselves once more in contact with a trade-school practice. The above conditions are brought about principally through lack of inter- departmental co-operation. Each department has its own methods of grading, and its own private standard. This lack of uniformity is not conductive to a flexible control of a student ' s educational activities. Last, but not least, does not the word school indicate trades? The general opinion is that L. T. S. is a trade school, and this opinion prevails to the larger extent in the classes of people we are trying to reach and educate. The cap and gown will not be a proper and beneficial feature at L. T. S. com- mencements, until the time is at hand when the two can be fittingly worn. The cap and gown in a trade school, is a preposterous idea. The cap and gown in a college, is a worthy idea. This institution must be technical in the truest sense of the word, in conduct, instruction, internal organization, and in name, before the cap and gown can be appropriately installed, in its proper dignity and grace, re- finement and beauty. Signed An Upper Classman Eespongtbtlttp In an absence of two years from the school one very important phase of an engineer ' s duty came under my observation. I refer to responsibility. I have in mind two engineers of exceedingly different characteristics. One man ate responsibility. The more responsibility that was placed upon him, the more he assumed and today he is a consulting engineer. The other man would not assume even the responsibility that was placed upon him. As an inevitable result he was simply side-tracked. At the end of two years ' time he was a poor draftsman. The simple application to the Textile students is just this; don ' t be afraid to assume responsibility. You have been given the best education for your work that it is possible to obtain in this country. If you are consulted on a question, state what you believe to be right, and why you think so, if that is necessary. If you don ' t believe the project to be the best, don ' t say that you do just because you know the person consulting you wants to hear it that way. Tell him what is right, and explain why it is better than his method, and in the end he will appreciate the kindness you have done for him. 160 tubettt rmp draining Corps at ttje 3L 1 . . The work of the first term of the school year 1918-1919 at the Lowell Textile School has been devoted to the training of young men for the various officers ' schools of the army, as prescribed by the War Department ' s plan for the Student Army Training Corps. To meet the requirements of the academic training set forth by the Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department, only slight modifications of the regular curriculum were necessary, for the reason that the same sort of fundamental scientific instruction which has been successful in training young men for the textile industry was found desirable in the training of officers. This means that from the viewpoint of the school the pupil during this time has not pursued a large number of courses of instruction which are irrelevant to his textile training. Consequently the second term ' s work, while returning to the pre-war program, will continue substantially the student ' s work of the past term. The record of events during the present school year, having to do with the establishment of the S. A. T. C. and its continuance up to the date of demobilization on December 1, is brief and covers a period of approximately two months. In August of the present year the school was notified that it had been selected by the War Department as one of the institutions which had met the requirements for the establishment of a Students ' Army Training Corps, Collegiate and Technical School 1(51 THE PICKOUT 1920 Section. With the object of assisting in military instruction during the following term the school was asked to send to the officers ' school at Plattsburg, for a two months ' course, undergraduates who would later return to school. The following students were selected: Frank M. Sanborn, Class of 1919; Carl D. Brandt, Class of 1920; and Harold E. Clayton, Class of 1921. They attended the officers ' school, were discharged at its completion, and re- turned to school acting as sergeants of their companies. Captain Charles N. Cecil, U. S. A., retired, was ordered by the War Depart- ment to the school to take command, and to be in charge of the military instruction and discipline. His skill and knowledge of military affairs, acquired from a long service in the United States army, were very effective in transforming an active body of young men into a most promising unit of the army with such speed and smoothness as to result in entire co-operation with the school departments. The accompanying illustrations give evidence of the results produced. Several weeks previous to the opening of school the War Department made further assignments of commissioned officers to the school in the persons of Second Lieutenant Edgar W. Nichols, Second Lieutenant James K. Davis, and Second Lieutenant Harold Dudgeon. Lieutenant Nichols was later appointed as personnel officer and adjutant, Lieutenant Davis as quartermaster, in addition to the com- mand of Company B, and Lieutenant Dudgeon as ordnance officer and in com- mand of Company A. Nearly all the detail and daily military instruction to the men devolved upon these officers. That they were successful in carrying out so full a program of military training, retaining to the end of the term the respect and sup- port of the students, can but reflect credit upon them. All applicants to the corps, upon the certification of the president of the school that the educational requirements for admission to the school had been met, were required to undergo the same physical examination as is demanded by the army. All of these examinations for the 124 successful applicants, in addition to some 12 rejected, were made by Dr. Ralph W. Parker of this city, appointed by the War Department as contracting surgeon for this corps. He was assisted during a part of the time by Dr. Wm. M. Jones of Lowell. That there have been no serious cases of illness in the corps, and that all members were discharged with a clean bill of health on December 11, reflects the degree of medical care given by the contracting surgeon. In addition to those who enlisted in the S. A. T. C. there has been a naval section of nineteen members, composed largely of students of last year ' s classes, who at that time entered the Naval Reserve. With the establishment of the S. A. T. C. these men were transferred to active duty, assigned to the Lowell Textile School, and placed under the command of Captain Cecil. They have since their transfer been under the same regulations and have had the same accommodations as have the members in the army. 162 THE PICKOUT 1920 On account of the prevalence of an epidemic of influenza during the last of September and the first weeks of October, the induction into service of the members of the S. A. T. C. was postponed from time to time, upon orders from the War De- partment, until October 15. Scholastic work was commenced a few days later, and has continued throughout the period of service according to the prescribed program of studies. The needs of housing and feeding have been met by making slight alteration in the interior of the school buildings, involving a new top floor and additional heating in the second story of Kitson Hall, the purchase of kitchen and mess hall equipment, and the construction of tables for the study hall located in the assembly hall of South wick Hall. The inspection of the district construction officer showed that the space and arrangements provided would accommodate, according to army standards, 200 men in Kitson Hall, which was designated as the barracks. Tables for an equal number were placed in the Falmouth Street building, which served as a mess hall. Between the barracks and the mess hall, and on the same floor, ample space was found in Kitson Hall extension to provide kitchen and washroom facilities. All phases of the work of the S. A. T. C. applicable to a school like this were successfully carried on under one roof, thus demonstrating the advantage of the quadrangle arrangement of buildings. Adjacent to Kitson Hall is the campus, which is a perfectly level plot of land entirely enclosed, and of sufficient area to accommodate, for drilling, 300 to 400 men. The daily program prescribed by the Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department was followed. The class work was commenced at 8 a.m., continuing until 12 noon. It was resumed after mess at 1.40 p.m., and con- tinued until 4.40 p.m. On four afternoons military instruction was given, making a total of eleven hours per week. This left forty-two hours for academic work, in- cluding study and recitation periods, — a full week, but one adapted for war-time needs. The study period was from 7.15 to 9.45 p.m., and at this time the entire corps was found in the assembly hall at Southwick Hall, where tables were pro- vided to accommodate 8 to 10 students each. During off hours this same hall was used as a recreation room and the Y , which was much appreciated by all. The changing and modification of the regular school life to meet this war-time program, and the care of housing and feeding the students within the school build- ings, brought many new problems and placed additional responsibilities upon the instructing staff; but a solution was found for each problem and some instructor to take the additional care. The entire charge of providing proper food in quality and quantity, and the selection and purchase of the necessary mess equipment, was placed upon Arthur A. Stewart, head instructor of the finishing department. He was assisted by C. Leonard Glenn, instructor in the same department. A number of the students at the time of demobilization voluntaiily stated that they had gained in weight 163 THE PICKOUT 1920 from fifteen to eighteen pounds, which is evidence that a satisfactory mess had co-ordinated with the military training in improving the students ' physique. Pro- viding for the social needs during off hours, and the establishment of the Y , was under the direction of Louis A. Olney, head of the textile chemistry depart- ment. The direction of the supervised study during the study periods was in charge of Lester H. G ushing, head of the language department. In all camps and military schools established during this war period the need of mass singing was realized, and was required as a part of the training program of the S. A. T. C. And again this new demand was successfully met, without going outside of the in- instructing staff of the school, by Edgar H. Barker, head of the woolen and worsted yarns department. By training and experience he was well fitted to conduct the singing program prepared by those having charge of this feature of the S. A. T. C. training. With the early cessation of hostilities and the demobilization of the S. A. T. C. the time devoted to this plan of military and academic education has hardly been sufficient to measure its success or failure. There are certain ad- vantages and many recognized disadvantages which include problems that gave promise of solution. It nevertheless offered an opportunity for the school to lend its aid to the Allied Cause. The return to a peace basis will mean a resumption of the regular school pro- gram on January % 1919, and a continuance of a longer second term than usual, thus in all probability making up the work not covered during the first term. In this way students entering the school this year, or returning to continue their previous work, will ultimately lose no portion of the regular course of instruction. !1 104 Upstream Bap 1918 The annual Upstream Day of the Lowell Textile School was held at the Martin Luther Grounds in Tyngsboro, and the outing was a most successful one. The entire student body, faculty and instructors, left the school at 9 o ' clock, and went directly to the grounds by special cars. The city of Lowell was allowed to hear the Textile cheers as we moved through its thoroughfares, and after we got out of the city. Oh, Man! What doings on the car! Ash worth was the main actor, and after awhile he didn ' t know whether he was coming or going. At just 9.30 a.m. the Freshmen and Sophs lined up for their third and decisive ball game of the year. In an extra-inning game the Sophs won by the score of 4 to 3, and the poor Freshies were down-hearted, for they had also lost the football game earlier in the year. All of the Sophomore rooters had the first-base lines, while the Freshies were doing likewise on the third-base side of the diamond. The members of the faculty and the instructors occupied neutral ground, and woe unto them if they had taken sides. At the close of the game the prize — a box of fifteen dozen oranges, was placed in the center of the field, and Commanding Officer Stewart gave the order to Captain Goldman of the Sophs to take it away for his team, but before they could do this, there was a most successful raid made by the Freshies and the other upper classmen, and the oranges were sunk without leaving a trace. Aquatic sports followed, during which time a new banner made its appearance with the Textile flag, previously put up on the flag pole. On closer observation it was found to be Royal ' s trousers, which were missing from the old swimming hole. Royal was then made to pose as September Morn ' s brother. Then came the eats, and believe me, the eats certainly tasted good. After the eats, there followed a siesta of a half-hour ' s duration — a half hour of Chamber music . 165 THE PICKOUT 1920 At 2 o ' clock, the baseball team composed of members of the faculty and in- structors ran onto the field to cross bats with the Seniors. The same battery which worked for the team at the first Upstream Day, performed for the faculty, and, as usual, the old Harvard stars, Lupe and Gushing were invincible. Furthermore, aided by Walter Holt, they hit with reckless abandon and stole bases at will. Presi- dent Eames, besides crashing out a ringing double, covered first base in a care- free and graceful manner, stopping the ball with his feet if his hands couldn ' t reach the ball quick enough. Walter Holt at second (our genial bursar), rivalled Johnnie Evers in the field and Ty Cobb at the bat. Morey at short showed us how they do it in the big leagues, while Stevens cavorted about third base. With the invincible infield combination, the faculty easily won by the score of 15 to 2. The magnates and owners of the faculty team, Professor Olney, Smith, Stewart and Sleeper, backed their club heavily and made a clean-up. Mr. Glenn, the head coach, directed his team from the bench, with one eye on the game and the other on Lawrence. After the game there was a tug-of-war between the Freshmen and the upper classmen, which event was won by the Freshmen. Again the command of over the top was given and this time ten dozen sneakers were sunk. Some of the boys then adjourned to handle the pasteboards, at which some of them seemed quite adept; even the instructors tried playing whist, and only a few knew how narrowly they missed getting a shower. Various other amusements were then tried by various fellows, the result of one being that Professor Olney had three of the cylinders of his auto disconnected, and on going home, had to be pushed up a hill to get him out of the grounds. At supper, Mr. Eames addressed the gathering and read a letter from Howard Shuttleworth, a former L. T. S. man. Informal addresses were also given by F. H. Worrsam and Webster Plaisted of the Athletic Association, and the program was brought to a close. Upstream ©aj 1919 Upstream Day of 1919 was certainly the big day of the school year! Every- thing, from start to finish, was run off smoothly, despite the fact that a record crowd was in attendance. Even the weather man favored us by shutting off the rain, and providing an ideal day for such an out-door event. Two special electric cars left the school at nine o ' clock, on Friday morning, May 22nd, loaded with one hundred and twenty-five students and instructors, each provided with a white hat. It is sufficient to say that all the people passed on the trip to Tyngsboro, gazed with awe (and admiration) at the cars as they sped by. When the cars reached Mr. James T. Smith ' s house, they were stopped, and a hearty serenade was given to Mr. Smith. 1G0 T II E PICK IT T 1920 Once the crowd reached the Martin Luther grounds, things began to hum. The first big event was a new one on the Upstream program, and consisted of a relay race between the factions of the school. A suitable course was laid out, and the teams lined up, and went to it. The four men representing Omicron Pi Frater- nity emerged the victors, and were presented a handsome loving-cup as a reward. Next on the program came the baseball game between the Sophomores and Seniors. As this was for the class championship, some keen rivalry was shown by both teams (at the start), but the Sophs got the big end of the score, and won easily, 9 to 4. The battery for the winners was Sweet and Lemire; and for the losers was Mr. Lupien and Hadley. Between the two events mentioned several school celebrities were given a rather wet reception! As usual, the dinner was served under the trees, and only a participant can realize how good Page ' s food tasted! Not even a fritter, or any ice cream or cake, remained in sight when the repast was over. In fact, so much food was devoured that it was necessary to delay the Instructor-Senior baseball game for a short period. When the game did start, it proved to be a real fast one, but as is the usual custom, the Instructors won, 10 to 9. A mad scramble for oranges followed, when Mr. Sleeper broke a crate full on the field. A little later some packages of Lucky Strikes were thrown around, and these also were quickly picked up. The annual tug-of-war between the Fresh- men and Sophomores resulted in a victory for the Freshies. This event finished up the afternoon sports, and once again the crowd gathered around the festive board. This time it was beans, but they too, just hit the spot. Shortly after supper the crowd left the grounds, hiked back toTyngsboro, and returned home to Lowell. 167 ®tj?

EARLY DAYS The first days of war back in 1917 brought days of excitement as I remember them It seemed as if everyone wanted to join some sort of an outfit, and yet didn ' t know just what to do. Arguments in favor of army, navy, and aviation life waxed stronger and stronger as one by one Textile men joined up with the colors. One afternoon — in the latter part of April — Lieutenant Colonel Howe addressed the student body, urging that as many as possible sign up in the new National Guard regiment of artillery that Massachusetts was then forming. The result of that little talk culminated in the enlistment of twenty-three Textile men in the Lowell battery. On July 25th, the National Guard of New England was called into active service and two days later the artillery was living under canvas at Boxford, Mass. For two months we drilled, hiked, and wondered — wondered when orders to sail for France would come. By this time we had become part of Battery F, 102nd Field Artillery. One day in early Sep- tember, the 101st F. A. marched to the railroad, entrained, destination unknown. Two weeks later to a day found our regiment marching from camp through the darkness to the waiting trains. Entraining at once, we were soon speeding through the night, curtains lowered and lights dimmed. When it became daylight, we found ourselves on our way to New York. At ten. o ' clock Sunday evening, September 23rd, a grim-looking little flotilla weighed anchor and steamed slowly out into the dark Atlantic. In the lead was the armored cruiser, San Diego , flanked by two destroyers. Immediately behind in column formation came the transports, Finland (our ship), Antilles , and Henderson. Far to the rear was the tanker Maumee. For three days the convoy pitched and tossed in the throes of a gale. Living conditions aboard ship were terrible. All hatches were battened down to keep any water that was shipped over the bow from going below. Of a consequence we breathed no fresh air. One man after another became seasick, and before long it seemed as if we were going through the horrors of Hell itself. To sleep below decks was well-nigh impossible, and to go on deck was against orders. But all things — even storms at sea — have an ending and on the fourth day we went on deck to find the sun shining. For the next five days we headed due east and about noon of the ninth day at sea entered the Danger Zone. Our cruiser and her two consorts signalled, Good luck! and turned about for home, leaving the three trans- ports under the watchful care of five Yankee destroyers. From this tine on we carried life-belts with us wherever we went. At night the little fleet zig-zagged at full speed — seeir ing to stagger blindly through the waves, but ever heading for the coast of France. At last on the morning of October 5th, we sighted land — France. Escorted now by two French seaplanes and a flock of Yankee submarine chasers, we cruised slowly down the coast, and, just as the sun was sinking into the ocean, steamed calmly up the harbor of St. Nazaire, and passed through the locks into the inner basin. On Sunday the whole regiment disembarked and hiked several miles to Camp Number One, a former British base. Here we rested (?) for ten days in approved army fashion. Our rest consisted of digging one day in a resevoir and doing stevedore work at the docks on the next. We handled everything from steam engines weighing close to two tons to frail operat- ing tables. At night we slept on the ground inside Adrian barracks — a cross between a barn and a cellar — whose roofs were like sieves and about as waterproof. All we did in St. Nazaire was raise a few blisters, contract colds, and learn to cuss the French weather in subdued but none the less vehement tones of voice. We prayed for the training camp, the front, any- thing but St. Nazaire. 169 THE PICKOUT 1920 One Wednesday our prayers were answered, for we found ourselves entraining 40 hommes, 8 chevaux style. How we all got aboard was a mystery. Eventually, the engine whistled — a regular peanut-roaster exhaust — and we were off. To be candid the gang was fast becoming fed up, for comfort there was none. There was not room enough for the men to stretch out on the floor of the car, those who did lie down being of necessity forced to double up like a jack-knife. A few sat upright, the position finally becoming so painful that the unfortunates had to stand up for relief. It was then that the many who had had no seat since the beginning of the trip, and who had been seriously contemplating murder with a view of obtaining such, dove for the vacant spaces. And so it went on. We reached Guer, our railhead, at midnight, detrained and at once climbed aboard a waiting line of French trucks which carried us through the rain to our camp. Morning found us in Camp Coetquidan, a camp formerly used by troops of Napoleon. Our brigade lived here for four months, drilling daily at the guns, firing now and then, taking care of horses, and getting ready — always getting ready. Target practice, hikes, drills of all descriptions, kept us busy from morning to night, although the powers that were did let us have two hours to ourselves on Sundays. We utilized this time washing clothes. It was all work and no play, without any exaggeration, until we reached a state where we hated the camp, the mud, the weather, and, at times, ourselves. Christmas came at last, and a day of rest it proved to be. The Textile boxes arrived — wonders that they were — and for a day we forgot about the war and thought of the good old days back in God ' s country. Christmas, 1917, was a day of deep thought for most of us. On the next day we were working and drilling again. Rumor after rumor seized the camp. At first we were going to the Italian Front, and then we were to become infantrymen. There was hardly anything except possibly Y.M.C.A. clerks that we were not to become. One day we fired the battery using balloon observation. The next day we fired at our tar- gets with an aeroplane directing our fire. Finally, gas masks were issued, and each man passed through a gas-chamber while wearing the respirator. It was to be the front before many days. There was only one thing that worried us. At that time the artillery of the Rainbow Division was in camp with us, and we wanted to beat them up into the lines the worst way. Finally, on February 2nd, the first battery of the 101st F. A. left for the railroad. Four hours later another battery of seventy-fives pulled out. It was then that we knew that the Yankee Division was goi ng to the Front! CHEMIN DES DAMES Monday morning, February 4, 1918, was the day Battery F started. At eight o ' clock horses, guns, rolling kitchen and all moved out of the gun-park, through the camp, and headed for Guer. That afternoon found everything aboard train speeding for Paris. All night we travelled, the wheels clicking merrily over the rails, while, wrapped in our overcoats, we tried to sleep. Morning found our train but a few kilometers from Paris, and then we sud- denly switched over to tracks heading north and sped on towards Soissons. About four o ' clock we reached the little station of Pommiers, one station below Soissons, and detrained. Overhead a half-dozen French planes sailed lazily back and forth, patroling their secth n of the heavens. Just before it became dark, Battery F was on the move. The Aisne River was soon crossed, and in the deepening shadows of dusk, we entered a poor little shell-torn village — our first sight of the results of war. It seems that we were marching over historic ground, the battlefields of the Chemin-des-Dames, a sector in which some of the fiercest fighting had once been fought. When the column finally stopped, it was in a woods that formerly held German occupants. We slept the sleep of the tired that night. For four days we stayed under cover, camouflaging all the carriages and hiding the horses in the woods. During daylight, except for the absence of civilian population, the destroyed villages, and the passing of groups of French planes above us, one would never realize that a grim war was on but a few miles away. At night, however, when all was still, the faint boom- ing of long-range guns could be heard, and the occasional sullen roar of a barrage. Harness and hitch and straight away! were the orders on the fifth day. 170 First Row — Larratt, Powers, Ross, Brown, Mathews Second Row — E. Laurin, R. Hadley, Parsons, Holden, Johnston, Webster, R. C. Hadley YD BATTERY F 171 THE PICKOUT 1920 In almost no time at all the battery was on its way, up hill and down, and across alevel plain into the towns of Juvigny and Chavigny, two little hamlets with wonderful war records. But even these were left behind, and the signs of a war close at hand became more real. By the time we had seen an airfight between six French and four Boche aviators we began to think we were close to the lines. But when, out of a clear sky, we heard a most terrible whine and then a crump! as a shell landed but twenty-five yards ahead of our advancing battery, we were absolutely certain of it. It seemed as if Heinie was welcoming us, so to speak. A terribly polite fellow is Johnny Boche in this respect. However, the luck that was with us to the end of the war, perched on each man ' s shoulder, and we passed the danger spot without being hit. When the column stopped again, we were in a little valley near Crecy-au-Mont. That night, under cover of darkness, the first platoon went up to an old abandoned gun position. A remarkable phenomenon came to our attention that night. As we passed through ;i little French village, we saw a big signpost saying that Paradise was two kilometres up the road, and w hen we reached that heavenly town, a signpost directed us to Glory. Needless to sav, no one looked at signposts for the rest of the trip. Sunday night, February 10-th, the remaining two guns were hauled up and put in posi- tion. Battery F was all set. For three weeks the battery lived near the famous castle of Coucy-le-Chateau, firing a barrage now and then and ducking any shells that happened to drop too close. The four gun-crews gradually got accustomed to being called out of a sound sleep by the hoarse cry of Normal Barrage! , and of rushing pell-mell out of the dug-outs into the gun-pits, to fire until orders came to cease firing! The telephone men became adept at maintaining communications with battalion head- quarters. The rocket guard became used to the responsibilities of picking up barrage and gas signals from the doughboys. Needless to say, we never grew accustomed to shelling, and record after record was broken in mad dashes for the dug-outs. However, all records were shattered when a certain lieutenant attempted to drag his horse into a dugout with him. About three miles to the rear of the guns were the horse lines where the horses and drivers and spare men stayed. Each night a ration cart would load up with supplies and go up to the guns. To have done so in daylight would have been suicide. Sometimes a string of caissons would report at an ammunition dump, load up with shell or shrapnel and haul a few hundred rounds to the guns. All work was done at night, and daylight was chiefly a time of rest. The most impressive feature of the Chemin-des-Dames sector was the frequency of air-raids. Night after night a group of Boche aviators passed overhead bound for Paris. Only all didn ' t go to Paris. A few — quite a few — explored our rear areas, making life miserable for ye poor Yank. Eschelons, villages, or railroads were all treated alike. It was when the peculiar throbbing purr of the Boche bomber was heard through the clear night air that hoarse shouts of Lights out! warned all to take cover. Suddenly a beam of light cut the sky, then another, and another, all trying to pick up the raiders. Little spots of flame flashed and disappeared as shrapnel searched out the airon. A series of terrific concussions, the gradual diminishing tone of the motors, the shutting off of searchlights, and we knew the raid was o e -. The ' 1 there was nothing to do but wait for the next one. Saturday m ht, March 2, the first platoon moved to a position twelve kilometres to the light, while the second platoon followed during the next night. This new home of ours, situated near Antiosse Ferrre, was anything but a pleasure resort. Shell holes, none of them very old, net our gaze wherever we looked. For two weeks the guns remained here, the horse lines having been moved in the meanwhile to the village of Leury, whose one street bore the name Rue de President Wilson . Rumors of a relief and rest became more and more persistent as the days passed by. Finally, on the night of March 20, the limbers were sent up for the guns, which were hauled back to Leury. Just after midnight a terrible Ger- man barrage started, a barrage which was the opening blow of a series of drives that shook Europe to its very foundations. The Yankee Division escaped the horrors of the first Ger- man onslaught by four hours. The next night saw the whole battery back in Pommiers, entraining. Far away could be heard the steady pounding of the German barrage. 172 T HE PI C K U T 1 9 2 THE TOUL FRONT AH that day the train travelled south and then cast. A detour had to be made around Soissons, which was being shelled so heavily that no trains could pass through. About noon we reached Chateau-Thierry, little thinking that we would see it again under far different conditions. The train continued on its way down the Marne valley until nine o ' clock that evening, when it stopped at Bricnne-le-Chateau. We detrained at once, fed the horses, hitched in and started on a ten-mile hike. Just at daybreak we arrived at the little town of Argancon, almost lost in the hills. We slept till noon in schoolhouse and barn. For the next two weeks we did nothing but travel over the road, sleeping in this village for a night and then passing on to the next. It was fine until it commenced to rain, and after that, being in the saddle hour after hour was far from a joke. At one time we rested for two days in Bettincourt until orders came to continue the march, and we went our way. Easter Sunday found us on the road having a twenty-mile hike. About noon we passed through ' Dom- remy, the birthplace of Joan of Arc. By this time we were in the region of the Meuse River, which was very much in evidence due to the heavy rains. We now knew for a fact that rest had been called off and that we were on our way to another sector. Finally on noon of April 3rd orders came for the first two pieces of each battery to get ready to go up into the lines that night. Rather sudden, these army orders! x t a cross roads we were tret by a line of trucks. Two guns were hauled aboard each truck in verv short order, and their crews, a few telephone men and a cook sat down wherever there was room. Waving goodbye to the col- umn, we rolled over the road towards Toul. We soon passed through that fortified city and after two hours more of jolting stopped at Sanzey, a little village about fifteen kilometres from the front. The guns were lifted from the trucks and hitched to two limbers belonging to A Battery of the 6th F. A. (1st Division). At nine o ' clock the two guns started for the front, followed by a park wagon which was filled with telephones, wire, blanket rolls, kitchen sup- plies and humanity. Ansauville and Hamonville, each town showing more and more evidence of shelling, were passed, until finally we entered Mandres, passed the church, and turned sharply to the right. After lurching over a terrible road, we approached Suicide Corner — — beautiful names, n ' est-ce-pas? — and crashed into a ditch. Our guide, a sergeant from the regulars, shouted under the stress of deep emotion for everyone to show signs of life or we ' d all be blown to Kingdom Come. He only spoke once, because none of us felt as if we wished to meet St. Peter just then. Under the combined efforts of horse and man, the park wagon, creaking protestingly, was hauled into the road. A few minutes later we turned into a muddy field, where we were to relieve a platoon belonging to the 6th F. A. For four hours we hauled, dragged, and at times lifted the seventy-fives through two hundred yards of mud. At regular intervals shells dropped on Dead Man ' s Cune a short distance away. Then, just before daylight, the relief was completed, and the horses disappeared to the rear. Each man dropped into his bunk too fagged out even to remove his muddy shoes. Four men and the captain remained awake. Two men stayed on guard at the guns, one on rocket guard, the other at the telephone. Down in his dugout, heavy-eyed from lack of sleep, our chief studied his maps and firing data. Such is a relief at the front. We soon discovered that we were in the American sector northwest of Toul. The next night the third and fourth pieces moved slowly into a woods about two kilometres from the first platoon. Again Battery F was all set. April proved to be as dreary a month as we ever experienced. Rain and mud spell out the whole story. The left end of our sector — the largest sector ever held by an American division during the war — was kept busy for four days in some severe fighting in the Apremont section. For this work the colors of the 101th Infantry were decorated by the Fiench — the first American regiment to be so honored by a foreign power. On April 20-21, our own part of the line was more than busy. As one man put it, There were beaucoup fireworks! That day, as I now recall it, was just a jumble of exciting events. About three o ' clock in the morning trenches, gun-positions, villages and roads were showered with high explosives and gas. At the signal Barrage! from the Connecticut doughboys, then in the lines, the guns of the 102nd and 103rd F. A., opened up al once and fired 173 THE PICKOUT 1 9 20 almost continuously for twenty-four hours. In many cases they stopped simply because there was no more ammu- nition. The full strength of the German attack fell at Seicheprey. Outnumbered almost ten to one, the Yanks fell back, fighting like devils. Wild appeals for reinforcements and ammunition were sent to the rear by runners, all communi- cations having been blown to pieces long before. Due to Yankee grit, what was meant for a raid only was turned into a battle. Hanging on grimly, a little group fighting hand-to- hand here, machine guns sputtering death there, the New Englanders fought on. Driven back before reinforcements arrived, they consolidated their line and held. All day long the boys fought in that section, and through it all the guns fired. In broad daylight string after string of caissons gal- loped madly over shell-swept roads bringing the precious loads of ammunition to the waiting guns. Work done only at night in former times, was now done in daylight. Ambu- lances were blown from roads. And over those roads the drivers traveled for forty hours, too busy to sleep or eat. As fast as one battery was supplied, a load was sent to another. Glory! There were more unheralded deeds of heroism that day than one could think possible. That night the counter-attack started, preceded by a rolling barrage from the seventy-fives. Every bit of ground was recovered and the Battle of Seiche- prey was over. By some Seicheprey has been called an American reverse. Perhaps it was. These are the facts, using German figures. The attacking party consisted of 2798 men. There were 350 Yanks in the front lines at that point. When everything was over, the American losses had amounted to 634. After the war a captured Yank reported that of the 2798 who ad- vanced, only 947 returned untouched. Perhaps it was a reverse, but when three Huns fell for every Yank killed or hurt, it was a mighty costly victory for the enemy. It might be of interest to know that the following order was received by Battery F during the height of the battle: ' Batteries D and E will retreat to rear positions, last man if necessary. Battery F will stay to the However, there was no retreating May was a very quiet month, only one raid occurring during all that time. For excite- ment we fired a few barrages and watched airfights. June came along and with it some wonderful weather. By this time the whole division was expecting a relief. On June 16th, a terrific little scrap was fought at Xivray, the 103rd Infantry having its hands full for about twenty-four hours. But here again Heinie was repulsed. About this time our observers had noticed a concentration of German infantry in a certain woods, and a terrible gas attack was immediately laid down by the whole artillery brigade. When things quieted down a bit, stretcher-bearers carried bodies out of the woods for three days. No one knew just what had happened, but evidently our gas had nipped another German attack in the bud. For the rest of our stay on this front Heinie acted rather peevishly, throwing shells over at the slightest signs of life. During the week of June 23rd, infantry from the 167th French Division and the 82nd American Division relieved our doughboys, and French artillery took over our positions. The guns at once departed for the St. Jean sector to our right and assisted the French in a raid. After this little affair, the pieces were hauled to Sanzey. Everyone now expected a rest and probably furloughs. Then, one afternoon, orders came for every caisson in the regiment to report at an ammunition dump at once and load with shrapnel. Rest, hell! growled one Yank. On Friday night, June 28th, the regiment pulled out of Sanzey and turned towards the rear. 174 THE PICKOUT 1920 When we had arrived at the Toul front in early April, we were veterans of a forty-six days ' campaign only, and were green in every sense of the word. Yet the YD was ordered take over a twenty-kilometre front, relieving not only the 1st U. S. Division but one and a half French divisions. And for three months the Yanks had held the lines, giving the Huns tit for tat. Apremont. Seicheprey, Bois Brule, and Xivray were the main engagements. It was noticeable thai where for years previous the Boche had been victor, taking prisoners almost at will, he was now being defeated. The French called our doughboys crazee . And there you have the whole story — the Yankee doughboy. God bless him ! CHATEAU THIERRY We hiked all night after leaving Sanzey, stopping at daybreak in Ourches, where we rested until Sunday noon. At that time the battery took the road for Vancouleurs and entrained in just forty-three minutes. At nine o ' clock the train started, two machine-guns having first been mounted to protect us from air-raids. All night and all the next day we traveled towards Paris, the French people giving us a wonderful reception as we sped along. The suburbs of Paris were eventually reached and at Noisy-le-Sec we stopped. Parade in Paris on the Fourth, howled one enthusiast. Then without warning the train continued its journey, gathered speed, and switched off to the north bound tracks. Dumbfounded, we looked at one another. Montdidier, Soissons, and Chateau-Thierry lay to the north, and none of these localities could be called healthy by any means. About four o ' clock we stopped at Dammartin and detrained. It was Chateau-Thierry. That night we hiked twenty-five miles over the road towards the front. Every time we halted for a rest, a steady drumfire could be heard, terrible and awful. For a week we hiked up and down the lines west of Chateau-Thierry. A drive was expected along that front, — just where, nobody knew. At last, on Sunday night, July 7th, orders came for the New Englanders to relieve the 2nd Division. After an all-night hike the 1st platoon went into position on the hills overlooking Domptin. During the next night it was joined by the 2nd platoon, the horses being hidden in woods about Villiers-sur-Marne. The first week was spent in growing accustomed to the activities of open warfare, because such a thing as a dugout was a curiosity in the Pas Fini sector. Each man dug a hole a foot or so deep and large enough to hold his body. During a bombardment everyone dove headlong into his fox-hole and trusted in Providence to bring him through. Artillery and infantry were treated alternately with high explosive, gas and shrapnel. Machine-gun bullets cut through the fields of waving wheat at the slightest signs of activity. Altogether it was a week of anxiety. Every night the various batteries sent out one or two pieces for sniping work. Moving under the cover of darkness, as close to the lines as was reasonable and then firing like the very Old Harry all night, retreating to the regular positions only at the approach of daylight, each party , as it was called, caused the Germans no end of trouble. It was a long time before Heinie understood those roving gypsy batteries. There were heavy German attacks on the nights of July 13th, 14th, and 15th, especially in the region of Vaux. For the next two days we heard a heavy drumfire to our right and knew that a general attack was on between Rheims and Chateau-Thierry. We momentarily expected the blow to spread to us — but it didn ' t. By dark of July 17th, orders came for the guns to advance to a little woods bordering the Paris-Metz road. In a terrible thunder- shower the column moved slowly along and after extreme difficulty reached the new position. Every road for miles was filled with strings of caissons, battalions of sweating, cursing dough- boys, ration-carts, water-carts, all striving to get ahead. Everyone knows the strategy of the counter-attack along the Marne. Heavy attacks were to be launched simultaneously from both sides of the salient, while a steady pressure was to push up from the south. With the success of this northern push an orderly German retreat would be turned to a rout. When day broke on July 18, 1918, the 103rd Infantry was north of Lucy le Bocage, the 104th Infantry was in Belleau Woods, the 102nd Infantry lay along a line of hills a little beyond Bouresches, and the 101st Infantry faced to north near Vaux. Close behind were 175 THE PICKOUT 1920 the massed guns of the artillery. Suddenly, as if fired by one hand, every seventy-five and one fifty- five opened up, and the drive was on! All day long the doughboys advanced, overcoming all opposition and suffering tremendous losses. The push was temporarily held up by the failure of a French divi- sion on our right to make much headway. Far into the night the guns poured steel into the enemy, destroying machine-gun nests, scattering columns on the road, and covering the pushing doughboys. During the first dav Battery F lost the first man killed, when Jerry Silk of Lowell was fatally wounded . Another boy was hit and was sent to the hospital. The firing was continuous. Early in the morning of July 20th orders came for the battalion to move ahead into new positions. It was the war of movement we had dreamed of for months. When the trails were let down, the batteries were in position in a wheatfield, but before the guns could be loaded orders came to continue the advance. As the horses, pulling steadily at the traces, hauled the guns along, the signs of rec ent fighting became more in evidence. A dead Hun here, a Yank there, another Yank, all facing the enemy, a couple of dead mules, rifles, ammu- nition, grenades, packs, canteens, mess-kits, — everything that a soldier needs, were scattered helter-skelter in the fields. Overhead, Yankee planes sped by almost incessantly, every now and then a sudden put-put-put of machine-guns telling of an airfight. Once in a while a sausage balloon was brought to the ground in flames, leaving a long trail of smoke. Rein- forcements marched up the road, the set young faces bespeaking a courage that can hardly be understood. Ambulance after ambulance passed by, and the parting words of the wounded were the words of heroes. When they saw the guns, it was a wave of the hand, a wan smile, and a hoarsely whispered Good-luck . And one Yank cried, Give ' em hell for us! You can ' t beat Yanks! Each day it was the same story. The doughboys advanced, meeting fierce resistance, yet ever advancing. The guns spouted out their hate. Advancing through smiling fields of wheat, not knowing whether a machine-gun nest was ten or ten thousand metres away, the Yanks moved on and on. It was a matter of capturing a hill, then a little village, often moving for a mile or so over a level plain, to be swallowed up in the underbrush of woods where fighting took place from tree to tree. It was the Boche who called our doughboys Indians. One evening just about sunset a deluge of shells struck our whole battalion. Men were struck down in the twinkling of an eye. It was then that they got Dennett, ' 17. Good old Denny had worked like a Trojan during the drive. As gas-hound , his was a terrible responsibility, and there wasn ' t a better gas non-com in the A. E. F. When Dennett said a gas-mask was O.K., we believed him. But as I said, they got him, and when they did they got a man. Sjostrom of ' 17 was hit on the hand during the same shelling. On July 25th the German resistance was again broken down, and we moved ahead. At that time, the 28th Division relieved the infantry, who were by now well-nigh overworked. But the artillery stayed in, covering the Pennsylvania troops. The men were fast reaching the limit of their endurance, but somehow stayed on. Poor food, and but little of it, water so bad that at times the horses refused to drink it, lack of sleep, the strain of firing hour after hour, and the mental anguish of expecting death at any instant, were a combination of forces to undermine any human will-power. But the boys stuck, and fired and fired. Not only did the 28th Division receive our support, but the 42nd (Rainbow) was covered by us in their terrible fighting around Sergy and Seringes. The 4th U. S. Division also was backed up by the YD artillerymen. When orders came to report to the rear, our shells were falling into German positions along the Vesle, and we had made a record unequalled in the annals of artillery of the A. E. F. It took the horses just two days to haul us back to our jumping-off point, and it was a very fagged-out but happy regiment that pulled into Chateau-Thierry 170 THE PICKOUT 19 20 on the morning of August 6th. Into hell and out again alive. Who wouldn ' t be happy? We had been tried and had not been found wanting. Citation and letters of commendation poured into headquarters, and from the famous General DeGoutte came the thrilling words: ' The 26th Division alone is res ponsible for the whole Allied advance on the Marne. They are shock troops, par excellence! Months later the artillery brigade received its citation for the Second Battle of the Marne from Major-General Edwards: 1. To the artillery of the 26th Division is due my expression of admiration for its efficiency and fighting qualities, and for its indefatigable support of our fine infantry. Artillery can desire no higher tribute than the conscious fact that it had gained the confidence, reliance and thanks of the infantry. 2. During more than eight months of fighting service the spirit of loyalty dis- played by every officer and man of the 51st Field Artillery Brigade toward his duty, toward the Yankee Division and toward the Division commander has been fine. 3. The record of the 51st Artillery Brigade in the Second Battle of the Marne is glorious. It went with, supported and protected the infantry in its ad- vance of I85 kilomet res by Chateau-Thierry, and afterwards, in succession, two other divisions in the advance from the Marne to the Vesle for a period of eighteen days, between July 18 and August 4, with a gain of over 40 kilometres. It is a record of which the entire division and our country justly may be proud. I congratulate and thank the artillery brigade of the Yankee Division. C. R. EDWARDS But the story can never be completed until one remembers that 5300 Yanks paid the price for that terrible advance. Every kilometre was baptized with American blood! A BRIEF REST AND THEN ST. MIHIEL What remained of the division was now concentrated about Meaux. New clothing was issued, we bathed in the Marne, were paid, and sneaked into Paris when we dared. On August 13th the division moved by rail to a rest area near Chatillon-sur-Seine. While here the battery received new horses and was ready for another scrap within a very few days. Haggard and worn faces had disappeared, It was a new outfit. Rumors of furloughs again spread, the battery clerk even making out lists of the names of those to go. Without warning orders were again changed, and we prepared for the front. Ray Messer, ' 17, visited us one afternoon and spoke of the big push soon to come. He left, and we never laid eyes upon him again. On the night of August 29th orders reached the battery directing us to report at the railroad the next afternoon. No one said very much, but all felt much the same as did a poor, homesick Yank who burst into the weird refrain of: I wanta go home. I wanta go home. I don ' t wanta go to the trenches no more, T don ' t wanta hear those whiz-bangs roar. Carry me over the sea Where the Allemands can ' t get at me. Oh my! I don ' t wanta die! I wanta go home! The next evening at eight o ' clock Battery F was again speeding over the rails, and continued to do so until the next morning. It didn ' t take us very long to decide something big was in the air. As we drew closer to the rear areas of the front, Yanks became more and more numerous. The battery detrained at Ligny and at once took up the march towards Bar-le-Duc. We finally halted in a woods about two kilometres from that famous old town. Pup-tents were pitched, and everyone but a few guards fell asleep. Just at midnight we were awakened by the top sergeant ' s whistle. Make up your rolls! Harness and hitch! We were off on another weird hike. When the column struck the main road, it was found to be choked with troops. A regiment of infantry stumbled along one side and we on the 177 THE PICKOUT 1920 other. On we marched until daybreak. Hiding during the day, we again took up the march at night. Rain made life in a pup-tent the life of a dog, and the roads became worse than ever. On the afternoon of September 11th the gun-crews went up to the pieces and prepared for the barrage. All that night artillery — French and American — struggled over almost impassable roads. At midnight, however, all seemed deadly quiet. Only an occasional shell was fired. Suddenly, about one o ' clock in the morning of September 12th, thousands of guns burst into flame and roared out such roars as man never before heard. The sky was red with flashes, and full of shrieking missiles, which ranged from the small seventy-five to the huge freight-trains from the naval guns far to the rear. Every German trench, gun-position and road was deluged with bursting shells or gas. There was no firing back to speak of, because such a thing was an impossibility. Daylight came, and the infantry went over. There was no opposition; the fight had been blown out of Heinie long before. Terror-stricken Germans and Austrians surrendered at the mere approach of the Yanks. Nearly 1500 gave themselves up during the first day. History never aw such amazing results. Supply-trains, whole auto-truck companies, even a commissary fell into American hands. All the afternoon the doughboys moved ahead, until finally they were beyond the range of our seventy-fives. So they went on without the guns. That night the 102nd Infantry received orders to make a forced all-night march. It seems that both the 26th and 1st Divisions had the little town of Vigneulles for its objective. Striking out from both sides of the salient, it was a race between the YD and the 1st ! Every- one knew about it, and Lord, but excitement was high. Advance flankers were thrown out by the gallant 102nd, for the woods were not yet clear of the enemy. The main body marched along in column formation. A whole ammunition train and then a machine gun company were captured in almost less time than it takes to tell the story. And then while it was still dark, those doughboys marched into Vigneulles. The 26th had beaten the 1st Division by seven hours. The whole Yankee Division was tickled at that bit of news. The drive stopped on the thirteenth of the month. When it was over, it was found that 2500 prisoners had fallen into the hands of the YD, and that a gain of fourteen and a half kilometres had been made, with surprisingly few losses. One unfortunate episode spoiled much of our satisfaction. It seems that the air service knew nothing of the capture of Vig- neulles, and bombed the town when it was full of Yanks. Thirty-five men were hit. The French troops near us were almost delirious with joy, in direct contrast to their spirits before the fight commenced. Very much in earnest, they assured us that our infantry would be an- nihilated when it advanced through Les Eparges and St. Remy. Why, hadn ' t 30,000 French- men alone been killed in a previous attack years before on that one spot? Certainement! And as for capturing Mont Sec — a shrug of the shoulders expressed their opinion. Of course Les Americains sont bons, mats — But those Frenchmen were wrong. The St. Mihiel Salient was no more. For the next three weeks the Yankee Division lived in its newly won territory. Battery F went into position in a little valley in front of the ruins of Les Eparges. A few barrages were fired now and then, especially on the day that the Argonne-Muise Offensive got under way, when the 102nd and 103rd regiments of infantry made a feint on several German vil- lages, and raised such a fuss in general that the Huns thought the whole A. E. F. was coming. Far to the left towards Verdun, we could hear the heavy drumfire of the new drive. On October 3rd, the guns moved up close behind the infantry to assist in a local raid. On October 5th as many men from our regiment as could be spared, reported in a woods to celebrate the first anniversary of our landing in France. O r band was there, the divisional show, and the old man . It was the first time we had seen General Edwards near at hand. We all knew that the infantry thought quite a bit of their chief, so we wondered what he would be like. The first few. words, and he won us: I haven ' t had much chance to see you before, men. Been rather busy, you know. When I first saw you up near Soissons, I decided then and there that you didn ' t know how to salute. But after I heard your first barrage, I knew damn well you knew how to shoot! 178 THE PICKOUT 1920 Many people have wondered why officers and men almost worshipped General Ed- wards. Perhaps it can be explained by saying that he made everyone feel as if he were talking man to man. And that means a whole lot in the army. On October 10th the two infantry brigades of the 79th Division moved up into the lines, while the artillery belonging to the 30th Division took over our gun-positions. Our stay in the Troyon sector was over. .VERDUN After it was dark, the 102nd F. A. took up the hike tow ards Verdun. It was then that we realized that we were going into the Argonne-Meuse fighting. For four days we hid in the woods about Verdun. Before the guns could be sent up, the 104th Infantry was ordered to attack the enemy lines in Bois d ' Haumont. Sixteen French whippet tanks went ahead of the attack, but failed completely. The recent rains had turned the battlefield into a sea of mud. Of the sixteen tanks, but one returned. Without the support of these, the 104th was forced to fall back to its original position, having suffered heavy losses. On the 17th, the guns moved up into Death Valley — there were dozens of them on this front. It was nothing but a barren ravine with hardly a tree or blade of grass in root. Twelve of our seventv-fives were on one slope, firing across the valley into the German lines. A corduroy road and the mangled remains of what had once been a German narrow-guage rail- road lay at the bottom. At the foot of the opposite slope eight one hundred and fifty-five longs, manned by the French, were in position. On the top of the hill over which we fired, was a battalion of doughboys living in foxholes and wondering if the next heavy shelling would end it all. No attempt was made at camouflaging, because such a thing was im- possible. The Germans knew who was in the valley and acted accordinglv Shrapnel was thrown over off and on, and gas when we least expected it. The French always told us that our Verdun front was pas bon , and now we believed them. From October 23 to 27, fierce fighting occurred. Just preceding this attack notice was received of the relieving of General Edwards from the command of the Yankee Division. There is no need to say anything of the murmur of astonishment and anger that spread through the ranks. From now on the attack was a personal matter. It was Edwards ' last fight, and the doughboys vowed to make good. It was Colonel Bearss who sent this notice to his men in the front lines: Every officer, non-commissioned officer, and man is depended upon to uphold the glorious traditions of the 26th Division. All hell ' s flying artillery cannot stop this brigade when it has once gone into action. It seemed as if the guns fired as never before, and Heaven knows they had to ! The hills and woods which our infantry was told to capture were protected by a maze of trenches, pill-boxes and wire entanglements that made each position well-nigh impregnable. Advanc- ing at terrible cost, so many men fell, that when the heavy German counter-attack was launched, the little wave of Yanks had to fall back. Reforming, they came on and on. For four days Belleu Bois and other positions were taken only to be lost each time. But finally on the 27th, Bois Belleu was taken and held. All the next day the enemy tried to retake those woods, only to be driven off with fearful losses. The frequent calls for barrage were answered with amazing promptness by the artillery. Day or night, the guns fired steadily and accurately. However, the strain of nine months of practically continuous fighting was telling on the men. Many were so hoarse from the effects of gas that they could talk but in whispers. Men were killed going for their meals, dugouts were smashed in, and pieces blown up, until everyone wondered who would be the next. It seemed as if Heinie shelled us according to a prepared plan. First D Battery would be bombarded, then E Battery, and then F would have its turn. A few minutes later and the French gunners would be running to cover, and then the infantry would be showered. One after another men were sent to the hospital. Of the Textile men, Webster ' 22, was the first to go. Parker ' 18, followed. During a heavy gas-attack Sjostrom ' 17 and Parsons ' 22, who were then acting as runners at battalion headquarters, were badly gassed. Men who were less hurt or sick were sent back to the eschelon, while fresher men took their places at the guns. From November 7th to 11th the attacks were continued. The artillery fire to our 179 THE PICKOUT 19 2 right was very intense, and it seemed as if we were at the pivot of a general offensive. On the 9th we ceased firing, the Germans being out of range. Orders came on the night of November 10th to get ready to move to a new position. The limbers came up, and our last night hike in wartimes commenced. It was very cold, as I remember the night. The horses pulled steadily, and we on foot had quite a time keeping up with the column. About three o ' clock in the morning we met a line of ammunition trucks. Heard the news, boys? asked one driver. No. What ' s up? we queried. Armistice signed! Howls of Where do you get that stuff? Tell it to the Marines! G ' wan! Nobody could believe it and when, as we turned into another little valley to take up our new posi- tion, a dozen shells whined over our heads, somebody laughed — it almost sounded hysterical — and cried, Armistice, hell! We went into position at once and carried am- munition until about ten o ' clock. About quarter of eleven orders came. Battery attention! The guns having already been set on their targets, when the command to fire came, each piece spoke at once. The crews acted more or less crazy as they fired, one man petting each shell as he slid it into the breech, and when it was fired, crying, Go to it, baby! And then, just at eleven o ' clock, the order came, Cease firing! The whole front was stilled. Somebody yelled, Fini la guerre! and could say no more. That afternoon each Yank rolled up in his blanket and slept as only a tired soldier sleeps. It was only when it grew dark that we realized what had really happened. Bonfires dotted the hills of Verdun for the first time in four years. Rockets of all descriptions filled the skies, this one calling for Normal Barrage, that one warning us of the approach of gas. And we only laughed and thought of home. Somehow it didn ' t seem true. But it was. After all the hardships, the mud, the muck and filth, it was ended. After all those sleepless nights in the saddle, days when we had gone without food, and times innumerable when we had slept like dead men in the rain, it was over. No more ducking from shells. No longer a deadly fear at the cry, Gas! As that Yank had said in his terrible but eloquent French, it was Fini la guerre! Home! [ y Pfc. ■pp-y ,r mII-, : -J  KK.JL ™ m vwwmdiL ! 4.1E3W As everyone knows the YD was almost powerless to move on when the guns ceased firing on November 11. The men, those who were left — were down to their last ounce of strength, and in many cases almost ready to drop. It is no exaggeration to say that as a fighting division the once powerful YD was reduced by enemy fire and sickness to half-strength. Two illus- trations will bear out this statement. In one regiment of infantry there were but 240 rifles, a regiment whose normal strength was 3800. And as for the artillery, we hadn ' t horses enough to haul the guns. Such was our Armistice Day. However, the whole Division was conscious of having made good. Our record showed that. But when we learned of the cap- ture by the British of documents belonging to the 19th German Army Corps, which said, The 1st, 2nd, 26th and 42nd Divisions are divisions that have proven their worth on various fronts, we were positively happy. The enemy recognized our worth. We were satisfied. It icas long ago in April When our Nation seized the sword, Then to join the fight for Freedom, Trusting humbly in the Lord. G. H.

STEAM Steam Engineering is a course instituted to keep a professor busy for a few hours a week. The students are not expected to derive any benefit from the course. However, one learns the virtues of patience and self-restraint in the steam class. Your education in steam begins when you throw a butt in the sink upon the approach of Charlie Eames. Then you take the course, and Schy Yeaton enlarges on the theme. You may learn something about boilers and engines, but not if he knows it. Steam class is subdivided into three parts : — yawning, reading the paper, and throwing the heaviest thing within reach. When you reach a high grade of pro- ficiency in these arts, you will probably be excused from the subject. 186 THE PICKOUT 1920 A very great benefit derived from this course is the ability to decipher anything from a laundry check to hieroglyphics. This comes in handy in many other classes. The best method of doing steam is to faithfully take all the lectures, and then go home and do the problem by the method given in the textbook. Probably this appears to some to be a waste of time, but practical application has proven it to be the best method. Varying symbols are used in this course. PV may mean a pound of water to- day, and will represent the circumference of a boiler next lecture. In this way, steam provides the students with a very amusing game. Attempts have been made to put this game on the market, but the Game Trust has baffled every attempt, as they fear it would supersede all other games. It is proposed next year to give a pack of Lucky Strikes every week to the student guessing correctly the most quan- tities which the symbols represent. We advise every student to take steam, as it broadens the mind greatly. We know of cases where the mind has been so greatly expanded that the owner has been committed to the luxurious comfort of a padded cell. We need say no more about steam. The course speaks for itself, beckoning all to the highest pinnacle of an engineering education. MATHEMATICS, GRAPHIC STATICS, AND INTERPRETATIVE DANCING The first two courses are given separately, and the third is free with each. They are all closely related. The most difficult, and at the same time, most in- teresting part of the course, is learning to interpret the symbolic dance called The Slide-Rule ' s Dream. The greater proportion of men who wear glasses in this institution, had their eyesight weakened by attempting to follow the intricate steps and gestures of Professor Shimmy Brown. This leads us to believe that Mr. Brown is in league with the opticians. However, it seems impossible that a man of such integrity and undoubted purity of soul could be a partner in any such diabolical combination. It is impossible to estimate the heights to which the mind is elevated in these classes. Even the well-known rummies, rounders and gum-chewers in the school have been observed with a soulful, far-away look in their eyes while gazing upon the supple figure of Signor Brown going through the sublime motions of The Tri- angle ' s Meditation. In this course, complete instruction is given to the solution of quadratic equa- tions under the influence of jazz. It is impossible for those unacquainted with the process to estimate the extent to which x and y may become entangled while at- tempting to grab a partner from the other side of the equation. Of course the sym- bols soon become trained in the simpler steps after a few months ' course with our terpsichorean instructor. 187 THE PICK OUT 1920 This course is guaranteed to be the only one of its kind in the country, and it is expected that it will be a big attraction to prospective students. Therefore we would advise all those interested in the school to investigate this subject carefully and inclu de it in their tabular view, whenever possible. DESCRIPTIVE MATTER FOR THE CATALOGUE Quantitative Analysis Quantitative analysis is a fascinating study. To be a good analyst, one must combine the qualities of a blacksmith, a juggler, and a confidence man. There are various methods of performing analysis. One of the most popular is to leave a lot of apparatus decorating the scenery in the vicinity of your desk, make yourself conspicuous, so that the prof, will see that you are present, and spend most of your time sneaking smokes in the hall. After doing this for a reason- able length of time, go around and find what the majority got for the result of their analysis. Add all these results, multiply by the number of beakers smashed, divide by the amount of cigarettes you have left, and the answer will be the percentage of what you are looking for. This method seldom fails. As is known to all, the quant, course is fraught with perils. You may be caught juggling figures, or the prof, might ask you why you were doing something, or any fool thing might happen. However, there are many compensations. You may vary the monotony by experimenting with nitric acid highballs, or by pouring cleaning solution into your neighbor ' s pocket. The best analysts may be easily distinguished by their exquisite profanity and the ease with which they masticate B. L. They are very careful to keep their hands clean, and prefer to work with their brains and a pencil and phony figures. The good analyst never steals anything he can ' t lift. Of course, if a few of your neighbors ' beakers and a platinum cru- cible or two happen to be in your desk by mistake, you cer- tainly can ' t be blamed. Taken all in all, quant, is a wonderful thing for the human race. A man does not imagine what torture might be until he has taken this course, and anyone completing it may qualify for any good position, such as a street car conductor or a slinger of hash. 188 THE PICKOUT 1920 TYPICAL FRESHMAN THEME Week Spots in the Convention We go to the convention, listen to the speeches, buy the various members on a multitudenous harray of subjects, each of which has already been worn thredbare previously — or at least, the sane ones say the same things over again. It seams to me that I herd little new at Boston. Take the long discussion on Christmas vacations. Hasn ' t that all been talked over a year ago and haven ' t we all dunn just the same as if nothing was said? Too much bull in the conventions — or to many opportoonities for bull. I mean people take up time talking when they really have nothing to say, except what has already been sed. A verbaytim report of two conventions would sur- prize you. I got more from the social chats I had with the various members than I did from the regular meetin. And then again besides, it is now prohibition and we can ' t even smoke Little is accomplished at the meetins. Committees don ' t even no who are on them, something like the committee that wasn ' t appointed a tall last year. The Lord, or somebody, ventured one big idea of advertising that has been broached befour, I think, but there isn ' t steam enough to get action on it. This is a big thing and next century we ' ll know it. Some take the meetins as a joke — or a place to joke — some are ded, and don ' t know it, some are leeches - - wiling to take but unwiling to give, and some are clams. I come in the last class, I keep still if I have nothin to say. Go on now, have your bricks! ALMOST A TRAGEDY Scene: — The depot. Time: — Sometime in May. The four o ' clock express is due.

Freshman Committee on Junior Observance PRACTICAL WOOL FINISHING BY LEWSTEIN Our Mr. Lewstein has found a new method for applying wool finishing in a most humane and practical way. His ideas are indeed most modern and taking for his touch or feel, a more customary term of our esteemed Mr. Stewart, can readily determine meltons, close finishes and others. His reasoning is as follows: Bald heads: Close finished worsteds. Fibrous hair: coarse stock: Woolen Cheviots. He alone knows the application to other varieties of heads and hair, whether the latter has been gigged, sheared, or sanded and polished. Lewie also claims that the crabbing process is involved in several cases. His ways and means of de- termining results are indeed very satisfactory as well as unique, to the person ex- amined. He uses the stroking test to draw his conclusions and strokes the back of each fellow ' s head with his very sensitive and striking hand. Sometimes he strikes a bump or knot and deems it advisable that said head and hair be burled and mended. This latter method is quite difficult and none too agreeable, according to Lewie ; at any rate, as he would say, it ' s got to be ■done. ' ' ' And in answer to any questions regarding this method of procedure, our friend Lewstein tells us that it ' s a course in itself and requires experience and study. He ought to know!!! We wish him complete success in his novel idea and hope his course will have a wide practice. Good luck to you, Lewie ! ! DOCHOLWAY INMECH.

ONE OF PAL MOORE ' S BEST When I was in the Navy, I saw an officer drilling his men one day on board a battleship, and as he was about to start, he exclaimed: I want every man to lie on his back, put his legs in the air, and move them as if he were riding a bicycle. Now commence. After a short effort one of the men stopped. Well, Murphy, why have you stopped? asked the officer. If you please, sir, said Murphy, I ' m coasting.

If Bill Wilcox was principal. If the engineers ever had classes. If pool lab. was discontinued. If the electric lights stayed on after five o ' clock. If Forsythe became an instructor. If the S. A. T. C. was reorganized with the same cook. If somebody beat the Juniors. If Cochran and Scott separated. If anybody actually looked at this. If anybody ever read notices on the bulletin board. If Friar Tuck should return to school. If Doc Glenn shaved every day. AT FOOTBALL BANQUET Goulet: This chicken must have been a football player. Lom : I struck bottom. Brownie (as Scotty takes in all the roquefort cheese) : And he is in my room at the house. Yeaton: We will take up the question of brick, otherwise known as Irish confetti, as a building material. Ellis ' 21: Then green bricks are typical Irish confetti. CONCERNING BACKWASHING Royal ' 21 informs us that his mother does all his. IN WOOL CLASS Brown ' 21: Is mohair ever mixed with wool to make a top? Eddie: Yes, very frequently in automobile tops. February 16. Powers ' entrance into the old barracks as the musical club were having their pictures taken, caused the musical club to break into the strains of He ' s a Jazz Baby. Mr. Powers (in the lab.) left the barracks hastily. 195 THE PICKOUT 1920 RENEWING AN ADVERTISEMENT Goldman (to stenog.) : May I see Mr. F ? Stenog: Well, er — do you want to see him personally? Goldman: I would prefer to see him, but if I can ' t, then I ' d like to see some- one else who can take care of the business for him. Stenog: What is the business you are referring to? Goldman: I wish to see Mr. F about renewing his advertisement in the Pickout, the annual year book of the Senior Class, at the Lowell Textile School. Stenog: Well, er-er-you can ' t see him; he passed away. ITEMS Ask G. M. Scott how long since his sister ' s hair has been red. Dutch Clayton and George Marshall have been trying to establish a record on frankfurts and beans in the lunchroom. Pedro Medina likes this country better than his own, for there you have to marry a girl to kiss her. What was the disturbance, Morris, when you sat with Miss Burbeck in physical chemistry ? What was the greatest charge on record? asked Mr. Gushing. And Andy Orr replied absent-mindedly, Seventeen dollars for taxi hire for myself and girl for two hours. HELPING HIM OUT It was well along into the night. She yawned, and then asked Suhlke if he had ever seen a snapping turtle. One he said, in a show. Said she, It ' s funny, but you remind me of that kind. How come? asked Waldo. Oh, you hang on so. He looked out of the window, said it looked like rain, and he ' d better be going. Beginning and end of a chicken ' s life — hatchet. YES, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN Any old plug can get along if he pounds away hard enough, but only the bril- liant man can bat around half the night and then accomplish great things next day. Mr. Schaetzel, please. Call for Mr. Schaetzel. Geniuses may go about unshorn, but don ' t try to measure all men ' s brains by the length of their hair. HOW ABOUT THE FRONT ROWS AT KEITH ' S When a woman lifts her skirts men peep. That ' s curiosity. If they continue to stare it ' s admiration. 196 T HE PI C KOUT 19 2 Of course it ' s well known that Pal Moore is bashful, but have you heard this one? They were looking over the paper; Oh, my, how funny, she said. What? asked Pal. Here ' s an add that says: ' No reasonable offer refused ' . What ' s so funny about that? Oh nothing, she replied trying not to blush, only those are exactly my sentiments. Is Perlmutter a first cousin to Potash? Matches in dye lab. are easier and better to have than matches made in the Square . An electric fan will buzz away all day and blow off a wind, but it never says anything. Coming up on the train last week ' Shake ' kept sticking his head out of the window. Keep your head inside, said the conductor. What for? asked Zisman. For fear you ' ll knock some of the iron work off the bridges, you nut. HERE ' S A LITTLE COMFORT FOR YOU, DOROTHY It has been said that, To meet a girl on a hot summer night who does not care to dance is almost as refreshing as a towel of cracked ice on your head in the morning. HERE ' S ONE FOR YOUR TOMBSTONE, FAT Here lies the body of Fat Goosetrey, This is him. This is he. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. (It goes fine when you sing it.) AND ONE FOR ROYAL ' S MARBLE SLAB Royal stood on the R. R. track. He did not hear the bell. Toot — toot Farewell. A POINT FOR THE FRESHMAN A man who swears continually loses all the value of his profanity. WELL, THEY CAN ' T SAY THIS ABOUT L. T. S. College: A building which emits the odor of the classics and omits the odor of sanctity. A school wherein the youthful mind is taught the danger of thinking. ' ' 197 THE PICKOUT 19 2 SEA-GOING A gob was instructed by his C. P. O. to keep the ship headed toward a certain bright star. Becoming tired, he lashed the wheel and took a nap. While he slept the ship worked around and steamed in the opposite direction. When he woke, he discovered the star with great difficulty, over the stern rail. Say, chief, he called, come up here and pick out another star, will you? We passed the other one and it ' s way astern now. - American Legion. BILL ' S LUNCH ROOM Bill: What do you fellows want for a quarter anyway? Larratt: Something besides indigestion. Holdex (looking at his plate longingly) : Gee! I don ' t know. Banty : Don ' t know what? Holden: Don ' t know how long it will be before this, like everything I have eaten for the last couple of days, will be A. W. O. L. Miss Flack (after typewriting all day), finished saying her prayers last night with yours truly . A HAND Last night I held a little hand, So small and yet so neat ; I know my hand did tremble some, For my heart did wildly beat. No other hand into my soul Could greater gladness bring Than that I held before me, — Four aces and a king. • Brandt (in electric lab. before baseball practice) : If Charlie and Wotkowicz go out for practice, I ' ll be wattless. Discussion in Wool Finishing on increase of wages — Mr. Stewart: Why! I can remember when a spinner would follow a mule all week for fifteen dollars. Hadley: Gee! I followed a mule in France for fifteen dollars a month. Mr. Smith (holding up a sample of red cotton): What would you say this contained? Caffray: Catsup. 198 THE PICKOUT 192 OUR HUNTERS McCauley and Nichols went hunting one balmy day last fall. In stalking their game among the stately pines of Tyngsboro, they became separated. In the course of time McCauley, with the eyes of a trained hunter of possums , scented his prey, and raising his shotgun to his shoulder, fired. A yell rent the air, and Nichols came limping into view. The hunt was over, and McCauley gathered up his spoils and led his captive home. The young buck limped along behind his master, who intends to tame him and use him as a pet. Fat Goosetrey, another of our hunters, secured as a trophy a half a snake. The other half Fat said disappeared when he fired the gun. Skip Hadley, our hunter from Billerica, captured a number of deer (dear) this last fall. That accounts for his absence from school. The boys kidded Joe so much about the girls from Lawrence that he refused to visit them again. A SEER (SEE ER) Billings: Say, Paul, did you ever hear the story of how they first discovered that windows could be stained by different metals? Nooxe: No! how did they do it? Billings: Aw, what ' s the use, you can ' t see through it. Mr. Cushing (reading a theme on A TypiealDay in the S. A. T. C. ) : ' After an excellent dinner we were free till one-thirty, when we reported for drill. ' What is the matter with that sentence? Sullivan: He said we had an excellent dinner. mower. Mr. Barker: How would you describe the shape of the knives in a lawn- er; Lemire ' 20: Warped. Sweet was solving a problem on the blackboard; the class begins to laugh. Prof. Tuck (thinking the class was laughing at Sweet): I don ' t think that is right. Sweet (turning around): Not right, why? Matt (looking at the cuts on Jones ' face): How did you do that, ' Nat ' ? Nat : Dexter was throwing cotton at me. Matt: How could cotton mark you like that? Nat : It was in cans, you boob. 199 THE PICKOUT 1920 Mr. Hoelrich (giving Holden back a cigar) : How can you smoke such cigars as this one you have given me? Holden: I can ' t. That ' s the one you gave me yesterday. CHEM. Thompson [making out a chem. slip for experiment) : 270 cc of 90% Alcohol. (Not to drink). DOC CHAPIN, OUR MAGICIAN Doc {doing an experiment before the class): As I continue heating this blue solution, the color will disappear, and it will not return on cooling, proving that my starch has been converted to glucose by an enzfiyme. Sure enough, the color dis- appeared on heating, and then Doc. started to cool the solution under running water. Naturally the tube broke, and a voice from the class said, You ' re sure it won ' t come back now, Doc. ( Blacksmith ). FAVORITE SAYINGS Blacksmith — One who breaks glass during a chem. experiment. Lug — One who does things wrong. Social Course — (see Count Schaetzel). Pool Lab. (see John Mullaney for expla- nation). Hamburg — Tot Carragher. Get the air. Turn on the gas. Now Felles — too ' ses. Any questions for me? Cast your bread upon the waters. Some of the girls who were knitting sweaters this time last year will have a chance to knit new cuffs for them this year. A FEW SUGGESTIONS A few repairs on the pool tables would be appreciated by the boys. Some of those towels that the fellows spend many weary hours weaving, would look well, if hung over the wash basins, instead of in the instructors ' closets. A little liquid soap, so easily made by our chemists, would be as useful for washing one ' s hands, as it is for scouring wool and finishing. A little more attention to the students and not so much to outside work (during school hours) by some instructors, would give some of the boys a chance to speak with their teachers without disturbing them. Don ' t forget to speak to the Freshmen and say Good morning or Hi ; they are human as well as the rest of us. 200 THE PICKOUT 19 2 December 10. Doc gives classes in German profanity. December 18. Vacation Christmas starts unofficially. Heinie Baehmann meets some of our boys in Providence, R. I., during vaca- tion and tells them to celebrate their Christmas quietly. IN COTTON Steve : What is the difference between slang and profanity? Jones: Slang is the careful concealing of profanity so that you may relieve yourself of a mouthful of oaths and not let your purpose be known. WOOL FINISHING Mr. Stewart: This is a fabric from the ' House of Salts ' . Washburn: What do you mean — salts? Mr. Stewart: Be careful and make no mistake in the salts. IN CHEM. CLASS Rev. Beattie calls for Goosetrey No. 1, the big one. A WISE MAN Parsons (all out of breath — speaking to Mr. Smith): I have got that D3 knitting machine running at last ; I had better stop it while it is running good, hadn ' t jp 201 THE PICKOUT 1920 SPEED According to new ideas in Fourth year Physical Chemistry, Suhlke goes at a rate of 1000 miles an hour. Suhlke ' s going out for Olympic Games. Fourth year Chemists try to imagine themselves in German Rathskellers during their German hour; the only difference between the two being that Necco wafers were passed around by Dot Burbeck instead of beer. Symmes acts as Dot Burbeck ' s slave in dye lab. Merrill Morris scares Symmes by asking him why he isn ' t doing some real work. Steve Smith (calling up Joe Collins) : Send some heat up here; it ' s so cold the Seniors taking an exam here can ' t get their brains thawed out. OVERHEARD ONE DAY ABOUT SCHOOL Freshie: Who are all the visitors around the school today? Upper Classman : S-sh ! Those are the Seniors all dolled up to have their pic- tures taken. FAMILIAR SAYINGS AMONG THE JUNIOR CHEMISTS What percent did you get, Parker? — Thompson. What have I got here, anyway. A bunch of kids? — Dr. Chapin. Say, Dr., come here and see if this is the end point. — Cochran. TIMELY DICTIONARY FOR THE DEMOBILIZED Address — The place where one lives; no longer something to be ashamed of and concealed behind a number; does not change six times a week; only on rent- paying day. A. E. F. — Stands for An Eternity in France. Alarm Clock — The civilian ' s bugler; can be smashed with a hammer without fear of court martial. Bacon — Piece of meat no longer manufactured from Ford tires. Barn — A building where livestock exclusively is lodged; seldom used here to house extra week-end guests. Bed — Paradise on earth; never has tb be left unless occupant wants to. 202 THE PICKOUT 1920 Bonus — Sixty dollars, or one pair of trousers. Bootblack — A person who makes fabulous money putting dubbin on shoes. Booze — Believed to have been an ancient beverage used by prehistoric Yanks. Extinct like the dodo. Discharge Certificate — America ' s favorite literature. — The Home Sector FACTS AND COMMENTS The school grounds never looked better and a great deal of credit is due to those persons responsible for the changes. Our Cotton Department with its fresh coat of white paint offers quite a con- trast to some of the others. The new lunch room, pool room, and T. C. A. room certainly prove that many have been thinking and planning during the vacation period. The spirit and enthusiasm shown at the smoker are very creditable. Let ' s keep the good work up. Textile men certainly didn ' t get the breaks of the recent football game with Worcester Academy as far as players being hurt was concerned. The Textile- Worcester game was certainly a well-played game, and without doubt our team would have won if they had had another week ' s practice. Freshmen should realize that the first year is always the worst, especially in buying books, etc. There should be material enough for a good quartet, judging by the quality of the singing heard at the T. C. A. social. We wonder if it isn ' t about time our advertising committee got busy. VITAL STATISTICS Reports show that the number of chemistry students has advanced enormously in the past year. There ' s a reason — chemists know how to make alcohol. ASTRONOMICAL NOTE Dot Burbeck said she often went in swimming in the moonlight last summer. If that ' s all she was in, we know now why the moon has a jolly twinkle in his eye. Russell ' 20 had been out late the night before the physical chem. exam., and was feeling sort of peevish. When he struck the question, Why do crystals form in salt solutions? we heard him swear softly, and this is what they say he wrote — This is a d — n fool question. Crystals form because they just can ' t help it. Na- ture does it for ' em. Ain ' t Nature wonderful, Doc? What gets us is that Doc Chapin let him pass the course at all. 2o;5 THE PICKOUT 1920 THINGS THAT LINGER IN OUR MEMORY The day Bobby Sleeper shook the bottles that were heating under pressure and was nearly drowned in the eosin explosion. No, Bobby , there wasn ' t any time fuse on that bomb. ODE TO FRIAR TUCK He is gone, but we shall miss him. A good old scout was he; We never had to go to Keith ' s, For we had him, you see. Oh, when he breathed, it sounded like The bursting of a dike The shirts he wore were visible For miles along the pike. His speech ran ' round in circles, His w ' s and v ' s Were always getting tangled up, A sentence was a sneeze. His jeans that looked like grain-sacks Had never met his vest, His Fighting North End haircut Looked like one of Lowell ' s best. He may have been an engineer, He was a bear at Steam, But when it came to teaching it, That man sure was a scream. He is gone, but we shall miss him. Another has his place, But still my dreams are haunted By the friar ' s dirty face. 204 THE PICKOUT 1920 OUR OWN MOTHER GOOSE Little Jack Horner sat in a corner. His pockets were full of cribs. A prof stood behind him -- I think now you ' ll find him, Down having a chat with His Nibs. A diller, a dollar, a ten o ' clock scholar, What makes you come so soon. Don ' t you belong in Eddie ' s class? He won ' t be here till noon. A diller, a dollar, a ten o ' clock scholar, What makes you come so late, If you belong in Herbie ' s class, You ' d better get here at eight. There is a man in our school, He writes things wondrous wise, Somebody heaved a snowball, And closed up half his eyes. Little Miss Taisey felt kinda lazy, And loafed at her desk all day, When a student inquired for marks, he was fired. Being curious never did pay. There once was a kind-hearted soul named Steve, Who owned chunks of stock in Bay State we believe, For if it was cotton, Or Bay State running rotten, He ' d stand up for both in a way hard to conceive. Down in wool is a fellow named Lowe, He ' s a high grade instructor you know, Without stopping to look A quick trip he took, With the aid of an auto, away he did go. If you ' ve missed Cushing ' s lectures, you ' ve missed quite a treat, For knowing the subjects he has them all beat. He reels off the dates, Never hesitates, And you ' ve got to be there to get marks that are neat. -205 THE PICKOUT 1920 Yeaton ' s the man that has steam. His planimeters walked, it would seem. For they went out of sight On a very dark night And to find them has been his pet dream. Now Lupe has a wonderful mind. He does problems of most any kind. Before you have begun He has it all done, And the method proceeds to unwind. Jimmy Dow is the boy from B. U., He ' s clever and bright as a shoe. He is also witty, On hand with a ditty, A smile or a joke. But his marks make us blue. Back with us is Mother MacKay. He arrived just the other day. He makes the chalk fly. He can multiply So fast your slide-rule is behind a long way. A little round fellow is Ball. Very slim and not very tall. But he ' s there with the knowledge, He ' s been through college, And he soon finds you out if you stall. McGoun has bright quips, ever ready for you, He can teach, work or talk, and do other things too. But we ' d all like to know If the quips come and go, While he walks the floor nights, as most young fathers do. A FRESHMAN ' S DREAM Now I lay me down to rest, Before I take tomorrow ' s test, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I should die before I wake, Thank God, I ' ll have no test to take. 20G THE PICKOUT 19 2 BOLSHEVISM Oh, where did little Belgium have anything on us? This getting crushed between the wheels is a thing we oft discuss. ' Tis time the student body should have its little vote. For when instructors quarrel, it ' s the student who ' s the goat. One prof, would never bump his fist against another ' s nose, — ' Twould be most unbecoming for profs, to come to blows. The first prof, simply picks the men who take the other ' s course And flunks them all — quite simple, and does not require force. The second prof, retaliates, and flunks the first prof ' s men, And so on, till the average mark is down about to ten. Of course, the men who drag the F ' s appreciate this game. But the custom seems to linger on, around here, just the same. Oh, when you have a grievance, remember that the day When you may have it righted, is very far away. And wear a smile upon your face, and never say a word Against established custom, for you might be overheard. Then the monarch here, most absolute, will chirp to you some day, How dare you voice your sentiments around here? — On your way. It seems the student council that we heard about last May Has dropped into the distance and faded quite away. The something new that we were told to look for here last fall, As far as you and I can see, has developed not at all. So give credit to the system, it never yet fell through, And tip your hat to him downstairs — he put it over you. There is a certain doc, Who lectures the freshman flock, And if he lost the book, He would soon get the hook, For he wouldn ' t be able to talk. The day has passed when we could get Most anything we needed, That happy time when shelves were filled, And each request was heeded. But now a line at the window stands, Each man is filled with gloom, For he knows that what he needs is gone From the chemistry stockroom. 207 THE PICKOUT 1920 The dyepots we were promised Six months ago today, Will not be here for another year, But they ' ve started on their way. The test-tubes that we asked for Two months ago tomorrow Were blown up by the Bolshevists And Trevor ' s full of sorrow. A gw ii But let us hope that the future May hold a better day, And that the men who are in charge Will somehow find a way 208 THE PICKOUT 1920 To buy a little now and then, Not stop to hesitate, Then maybe the stockroom will be stocked, For the class of ' 28. TEXTILE Now listen, young men, while I tell of the rules And give you the dope concerning this school, Which maketh the wisest of men out of fools. The Lowell Textile School. On the chemistry course I fear there ' s a curse For chemists are often lugged off in a hearse, While friends sadly murmur, It might have been worse! At the Lowell Textile School. The brave engineers are a terrible lot, Who rave about math and similar rot, And memorize books just as likely as not, At the Lowell Textile School. The cotton men? Yes, there is such a breed Who learn to card cotten with marvelous speed And aim to make clothes from the fibres of weeds, At the Lowell Textile School. And now we are reaching that land known as wool, A wonderful course for a man that is full Of ambition to monkey with nice greasy wool. At the Lowell Textile School. We have here a course that is simply divine. The course I refer to is labeled design. The work is not hard and the view here is fine, At the Lowell Textile School. Every once in a while here we take our exams, Exams here, my boy, are a series of slams. The students all feel like a sick bunch of hams, After taking some Textile exams! 209 THE PICKOUT 192 And now I ' m afraid I must bid you farewell, But before I can do so, I ' ve one thing to tell, And that is to work or you might just as well Not come to the Textile School. HERE AND THERE Oh, we hollered for a bubbler, Well, that is what we got, But I wish someone would tell me, Why the water ' s always hot. Now, time brings many changes, But the latest one it seems, Occurred when our new registrar Superseded Charlie Eames. The joy in every student ' s heart, How soon it ' s changed to gloom, If Charlie sits beside you Down at Keith ' s some afternoon. The room in which the crack of balls, Once sounded up to heaven, Now echoes to that mournful wail, Oh baby — come, yo ' seben. There was a man named Heinie, And he was wondrous wise, But he couldn ' t find a monkey wrench, That rested ' neath his eyes. Oh, Mother McKay has a baby face, He ought to wear a bib, But, oh — the eyes of Mother McKay, To nail you with a crib. Johnson ' s Organic Is a course most bright and gay, Sometime the darn thing will dry up, And simply blow away. 210 THE PICKOUT 19 20 A man who couldn ' t sleep at night, Came to Textile on a bet, He took a lecture from Steve Smith, He hasn ' t woke up yet. Some pass a course by study, Some kid along the prof. But the bird that asks the questions, He ' s the boy that has it soft. There are smiles that make us happy, There are smiles that always win. But I could never fall for Charlie ' s automatic grin. 21] 212 SHumni s octatton Officers H. A. Bodwell, ' 00 President F. W. Emerson, ' 03 Vice-President Arthur A.

An informal social gathering was held at 5.30 and the dinner was served promptly at 6 o ' clock. President James F. Dewey presided. The speakers were Hon. Charming Cox, Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts, Charles H. Eames, President of the Lowell Textile School, and A. G. Cumnock, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Lowell Textile School. An exceptionally interesting program of music, cabaret features and vaudeville was presented by the committee. A business meeting took place at five o ' clock for the election of officers and for the transaction of other routine business. The officers of the association for 1918-1919 were: James F.

All I remember of the dis- course is as follows: What is your college? The Lowell Textile School, I replied. How large is the school? It is only a small school. I am not sure of the enrollment, but I believe it to be less than 200 by a considerable amount, was my answer. To this he replied, It may be a small school, but it makes a lot of noise. To me this last statement is very significant. Here was a man, whom I found to be a Harvard graduate that had had his attention called forcibly to the work of the Textile men, our alumni. Seniors and underclassmen, it is our duty to carry with us through our school days, and into the business world, this spirit which the men of the past have made manifest. The good name of our school is rapidly coining to the front in business circles. We are being looked to, to supply the answers of many questions. The manufacturers are depending on us to supply the brains to help them out of their difficulties. Underclassmen, study and work with the knowledge of what the alumni have attained and with the idea to raise the standard of Textile still higher. Seniors, as you leave the school this spring, go forth in the strengh of your training and be not afraid to tackle the work ahead of you. The following article is an extract from a letter written by a consulting en- gineer to a member of the Senior class : • ' My dear Friend: The Lowell Textile School is one of the Technical Colleges of the United States that prepares a man to not only be a credit to himself, but a valuable citizen to this Country. My interest in education has always been on the side of valuable technical education, such as Agricultural Colleges, Engineering Schools, Law Schools, Medical Colleges, Textile . Schools, and all so rts of useful education, because we are material and live in a material world. We have physical wants which must be cared for before speculative mental ones can be considered. Therefore, technical schools are first in importance, and classical schools secondary. I am aware that not all people will agree with me, but after fourteen years of experience as a professor in a large university, where I had the opportunity of seeing all sorts of education carried on, and after twenty years experience in several lines of business, this is my opinion, and perhaps I am as capable of giving an opinion as most persons who have only a classical education. One of the wisest sayings I ever heard was from President Washington of that wonderful Colored College in the South, and it is this, ' You can not make a good Christian out of a hungry Nigger, ' and I have not seen a good one made out of a hungry white man either. The best citizen is the person who can best care for himself and others in an honest, productive way and not the one who can do so by hook or crook or by being a drone on society. 214 THE PICKOUT 19 2 The Textile colony at Buffalo, N. Y., which has been composed of Mr. Stoddard Coan, ' 12, Gainey. ' 11, Finlay, ' 10, Clark ' 18, and Steigler ' 18, has recently added to their number Capt. F. D. Manning ' 10 and Lieut. G. B. Elliott ' 12. Pete and Sime have recently been discharged from the Service and are doing efficiency work with the W. J. Murray Drop Forge Co. If reports are true Pete expects to introduce a third party to the Colony before long. Cosendai, ' 15, who for a short time was connected with the Textile Section of the National Bureau of Standards, is now back in his home town of Saginaw, Mich., and is with the Nitro Products Co., manu- facturers of artificial silk. Donovan ' 19, a former member of the Students Army Training Corps, is now located in the designing department of the Weybosset Mfg. Co., of Central Falls, R. I. Jim Murray ' 13 of Duneller, N. J., came over the road by auto to attend the Annual . A one day ' s trip of two hundred and seventy miles would not keep Jim away. Dean Walen ' 14, voiced the sentiments of all of the others present at the Annual when he stated that it was the best ever. Wm. J. Fitzpatrick ' 09, was present in Khaki , he having only recently returned from overseas. Hennigan, ' 06, chaperoned a party of his old school mates on a slumming expedition about Boston after the evening ' s entertainment. Winooski, Vt., was represented by Pop Mann. Dair Moorhouse, ' 19, of the 26th division received congratulations on his recovery from his recent illness due to poisonous gas. Everett B. Rich ' 11, wore a care-free smile all evening, the party was not held at the Vendome. Sec-Treas. Stewart was on the jump all evening and deserves a great amount of credit for the success of the 20th Annual. Billie Mitchell, director of the school and Agent of the Massachusetts Cotton Mills, enjoyed the evening to the limit and wants to be counted in for all of the Annuals. Dwight L. Dimock, Textile ' 18, is now located with the U. S. Army Engineers Corps in France. Within a short time he expects to work along chemical lines, which work will require him to travel ex- tensively throughout the Allied Nations in Europe. Dr. Howard D. Smith, formerly instructor of the chemistry department at the school, is now chief chemist for The Father John ' s Medicine Co. of Lowell, Mass. Doc has not entirely severed his connections with the school, he being on the instructing staff of the evening school. Mason ' 20, visited the fellows last week. He is now stationed at Harvard studying for his com- mission. Nat Jones was around the school last Friday. Nat has been honorably discharged from the service and intends to return to L. T. S. Oliver Lane was with the fellows once again last week end. Oliver is now located in Gloucester. Word has been received from Merrill C. Morris, Textile ' 18, who has for the past eighteen months been stationed on the U. S. S. Carolinian as first-class electrician.

We were very much pleased to know that the gassing received over there has had no real serious results. Levinstein, ' 21, is in business for himself, having started a haberdashery store in Middletown, Conn. The following is something every Textile student should know from memory. It has been sadly lacking from Textile functions of the last few years and should be revived once again. Alma Mater Aimer Mater forever, Textile sons have naught to fear, Aimer Mater forever, Give her boys three rousing cheers, Rah! Rah! Rah! We will never forsake her, All through life adore her, Firm as adamant she stands, united as of ycre, The Red and Black boys FOREVER MORE Charles W.

Tom Flynn ' 11, and Kenneth Par, ' 16, are on the road for E. I. DuPont de Nemours Co., with Boston as their headquarters. Fitzgerald, ' 18, is located at Wilmington, Del., with the DuPont Co. We wonder if the training Fritzie received in Organic Chemistry was of any value to him as a 2nd Class Machinist ' s Mate, U. S. N. Gay Lussac Everett, ' 19, is with the Atlantic Dyestuff Co. of Boston, Mass. Homer Riggs, ' 17, is assistant master-mechanic, at the Lowell Bleachery, Lowell, Mass. H.

Corp. Philip J. White, ' 19, and Bugler Walter Douglass, ' 19, have recently received their discharges. Both were in Battery F, and have seen a year and a half ' s service over there. R. L. Lamont was visiting Textile last Tuesday. Lamont is coming around quite frequently of late, and we are glad to see his interest. We only wish more Alumni would show the same feeling. Mr. H. Will Nelson, formerly head of the weaving department of the school and an honorary member for many years of Omicron Pi Fraternity, was an interested spectator at the Huntington School game. He has but recently returned from overseas, where he was attached as a Y. M. C. A. Secretary to a combat division of the A. E. F. 217 THE PICKOUT 1920 Cummings, ' 16, Winn, ' 18, and McClellan, ' 19, took in the Huntington School game. Samuel Perlman, B. T. C, ' 17, has recently received his discharge from the Chemical Warfare Service and will report in the near future to the E. I.

Hall, ' 10, recently returned from over-seas as Sergeant, 103rd Infantry, 26th Division. Correction from April 10th issue should read: L. T. S. A. A. director for two years, Wm. Walker, Jr., ' 11, Supt., Ottaquechee Woolen Co., Evarts, Vt. Russell L. Brown, ' 17, was recently commissioned a 2nd Lieut., Field Artillery, U. S. Army, and arrived from France with the Y. D. Hosley ' 17 and Thayer ' 17, of the 26th Division remained in France when the division sailed and are now attending a French educational institution. Announcements are being sent to a goodly number of Alumni about Upstream Day. Plans for one grand and glorious time are being put into shape, and the committee not only wants the undergraduates to enjoy themselves, but also the Alumni. Johnson ' 18, is another Textile man who has just been discharged from the army, after having seen active service with Battery F. He intends to return to school next fall, resuming his course in chemistry. Phil White, ' 19, was also around school this week. Phil is another man who went with the Battery. He also intends to return next fall. It is great as well as surprising news to hear about Verner Sjostrom of the class of ' 17. Vern certainly has had many experiences, many more than his share. Vern enlisted in Battery F with the other Textile boys. While in France he was wounded twice and also gassed. The report came he had died from the results of the gassing. Later this report was proved false, as the next time he was heard of he was in New York. Vern is now at Camp Devens and we hope he will drop in on us in the near future. S. C. Peckham, ' 19, was another visitor last week, after having been away for a long time. He was with the French army for twenty months, acting as an ambulance driver. He intends to return in the fall. H. L. Peckham, ' 20, has had a very interesting time since leaving school. Having a chance to go to an O. T. C. but not wanting to go because he wouldn ' t get across the pond before the signing of the ar- mistice, he, therefore, enlisted in the Marines, and arrived in France just before the signing of the ces- sation of hostilities. At present he is taking a special course in chemistry at the University of Bonn in Germany. Powers, ' 17 and Dick Hadley ' 17, members of Battery F, 102nd Field Artillery were recent visitors at the school, they having only recently arrived from France with the YD. C. L. Finch, Supt. Broadalbin Knitting Co., Ltd., of Broadalbin, N. Y., was a recent visitor at the school. He was very favorably impressed with the improvements made in the school equipment since he was a student in 1914-15. Many of the Alumni will sincerely regret to hear of the death of Eliot B. Plummer, class of 1913, which occurred recently at Saylesville, R. I. He is survived by a wife and child. Mr. Plummer was a member of the Delta Kappa Phi fraternity, and was one of the finest type of men that ever graduated from the Lowell Textile School. Albert Sturtevant, class of 1916, textile inspector in the Quartermaster Corps, has received his dis- charge and returned to his home in Lowell. Sergts. E. W. Clark ' 18, and Harold W. Steigler, ' 18, received their discharges last month from the Chemical Warfare Section at Washington, D. C. They are now with the National Aniline Color Com- pany at Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Arthur K.

William J. Moore, ' 17, recently received his discharge from the U. S. Navy and is planning to resume his studies at the School in the near future. He was for some time stationed at Newport, R. I., but for the past year has held the rating of chief yeoman and has been attached to a ship in the merchant marine service, traveling between New York, Cuba and Mexico. At the time of his discharge he was a member of the Officers ' Material School at New York. Pal has many interesting experiences to relate. A. E. Jury, 04, was a recent visitor at the school. He is now with the U. S. Rubber Co. and is especially interested in tire fabrics.

To Mr. Cushing, in his capacity of Faculty Adviser, we are much indebted, for it as his Wonderful enthusiasm that spurred others to greater efforts. To Miss Lancey w e are very thankful for the Valuable statistics furnished. To Mr. George H. Johnson, for his poems, for his editorials, and especially for his History of Battery F, much of the success of the book is due. And to the Board we are more than gratef ul. Never before in the history of Textile has there been such co- operation and harmony between members of the staff as has been the case this y ear. It is our sincere hope that future editors of the Pickout may be as fortunate in securing the whole-hearted support of the school as we have been in gathering material for this volume. T tkis time the Board takes this opportunity to remind $ ou that whatever amusement and pleasure you suc- ceed in getting from this double Volume 5)ou owe a part to its best backers — our advertisers. It v?ill pay 2?ou to notice who they are, and place your trade with them. They are reliable and Worthy of } our consideration. SAMUEL G. ADAMS EDMUND F. LELAND HARRY P. BRADFORD HAROLD M.
