Jacultp LOUIS A. OLNEY, A.C., M.S. LOUIS Lehigh University L. T. S. 1897 In the Professor, Textile finds one of her strongest characters of the De- partment of Chemistry and Dyeing, of which he is the head. Even with all his many business connections and associations with the great Chemical Societies of the country, Louis always is to be counted in on the events of School life. He is ever ready to give a fellow that personal as- sistance for which many are indebted to him. EDGAR H. BARKER EDDIE M. I. T. 1896 L. T. S. Mr. Barker is the head of the Woolen and Worsted Yarns Department. We appreciate him as a wonderful lecturer, for though we do not take many notes on his lectures, somehow we remember the points he makes. Eddie is also a staunch supporter of the School even though the call of the clubs and the little white pill on the green often takes him away, for he is there with the support that counts. ARTHUR A. STEWART STEWART L. T. S. 1900 L. T. S. Secretary and Treasurer Alumni Association Stewart we know and respect as the designer and builder of the De- partment of Finishing of which he is the head. Through many perilous years he guided the affairs of the Athletic Asso- ciation with an able hand, making for us a record well worth remembering. 14

S. 1897-1900 Secretary of the School 1897-1906 Principal 1906-1920 President of the School 1920- Not forgetting his many former connections with the Engineering world we believe Mr. Eames, our President, has found in guiding the development of our School a real pleasure. We honor him for his work accomplished and feel sure that, because of his great devotion to the whole life of L. T. S., he will carry on his work with unlimited zest till Textile shall stand preeminent in all her lines of endeavor.

THE PICKOUT 1921 STEPHEN E. SMITH STEVE L. T. S. 1900 L. T. S. 1902 Steve, our much liked head of the Cotton Yarns Department, gives us a long run of information through the works, from Picker to Twister, some times including choice bits of truth from the cotton fields or selected anec- dotes on real life. In our daily contact with him, Steve gives us of himself in kindly ser- vice and ere long we will realize the value of our associations with him during our years at Textile. HERMANN H. BACHMANN heinie Gera Textile School Gera, R. J. L., Germany L. T. S. Mr. Bachman came to the School some years ago to be the head of the Department of Textile Design and Weaving and has by his endeavor brought the department into its own. As a supporter of School life there is no better, for Heinie backs us in every well directed effort we make. He does object to certain expressions of feeling apt to be made on Upstream Day — but then, who can blame him? LESTER H. CUSHING, A.B. CUSH L. H. Harvard 1911 L. T. S. For ten years Cush has been here at the School as head of the De- partment of Languages, History and Economics. Since his coming the de- partment has come to be recognized as of real value to the student and not a mere matter of recreation only. He is a man ' s man, fair and square, and is actively interested in the Athletic activities of Textile. HERBERT J. BALL, S.B., B.C.S. herbie LB. M. I. T. 1900 L. T. S. Northeastern College 1910 Herbie, as the newest member of the Faculty, is about the busiest of its members, which is evidenced in the fact that he is always on the jump, due to his many courses of lectures and his outside connections, especially the Y. M. C. A. H. J. is the head of, and a good part of the body of, the Engineering Department. With his courses in Strength of Materials and Business Ad- ministration and Law he surely makes the Engineers ' last two years very in- teresting. 15
