THE PICKOUT 1921 Frederick Sture Beattie, Ph.D., Instructor in Organic Chemistry. Mr. Beattie, better known to most of us as The Reverend, is one of the most popular of our in- structors. His classes are enlivened by occasional choice anecdotes which make the time pass quickly. Arne Kolthoff Gyzander, Instructor in Dyeing. Gyzzy, as he is known by most of the chemists, teaches us how to sling dye-pots in the most scien- tific manner. He has a thorough knowledge of the science of dyeing and, what is more, a clear and concise way of imparting that knowledge. Harry Chamberlain Brown, S.B., Instructor in Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Brown, popularly known as Shimmy, is the guiding hand of the slip stick artists. Those in his classes know him to be a fair and square instructor and a personal friend. James Guthrie Dow, A.B., Instructor in Languages. He may be young but he sure has a way with those languages. Jimmy has been a great help to us in the successful staging of the last two Tex shows and we hope that he will continue to have a hand in all such matters. Holley S. Winkfield, S.B., Instructor in Mechanical Drawing. besides being a valuable asset to the Engineering Department Wink has been a great aid to the Musical ( ' lubs. Of course, we fellows look to the instructors to set us good examples but on the night of the Tex show Holley actually appeared in front of the audience, swaying back and forth with a bat-on. Arthur Joseph Woodbury, Instructor in Cotton Yams. Woodbury can tell about cotton from the seed to the silk shirt but lie never is so happy as when he is watching some uninitiated student endeavoring to put a cotton comb together. Albert Greaves Sugden, Instructor in Wearing. Although he is generally known as the Crown Prince we cannot explain it, for he is one of our most genial instructors and no favor within his power to grant is ever denied. Wilfred W. Chandler, S.B., Instructor in Electricity and Mathematics. Mr. Chandler comes to us straight from I lie industrial world. When he gets adjusted to school life he sure will go far in making his courses just what the practical man needs. Frank Watson Hanson, S.B., Instructor in Mathematics. At first glance Frankie appears to be a sober mortal but just linger and chat and wateli the humorous sparkle in his eye. Although he is a poor judge of street ears (just ask him), he is a wizard at calculating. It)

3n£tructor£ Stewart MacKay, Instructor in Cloth Analysis and Design. Far over in the northeast corner of L. T. S., jovial Mother Mackay holds sway. With at the helm the intricacies of Cloth Analysis and Design fade away into oblivion. ' Mother Charles H. Jack, Instructor in Machine Shop Practice. A man among men. With the touch of a master hand he centers, turns on lathes, mills, planes, files and grinds a hard rough bunch of Freshmen until they emerge as smooth, square, polished, scin tillating Juniors with a vast knowledge of Machine Parts. John Charles Lowe, Instructor in Wool Yarns. Straight from the shoulder. That ' s the manner in which progressive, earnest John Low r e acts, for knowledge of wool — well, his preparation has left no stone unturned. And Martin J. Hoellrich, Instructor in Weaving. Struggling amidst a mass of mispicks, ends out and shuttle smashes, Han ' s sure leads a tough life. O what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Nothing gets by his watchful eyes. Hartman F. Schmidt, Instructor in Wool Yarns. Hurrah for Hank-Ply — the only man who ever subdued that squealing, kicking, brain-racking Woolen Mule. Its mechanism and operation are but simple A, B, C ' s to him and his clear ex- planations are the wonder and amazement of all. Philip Osborne Yeaton, S.B., Instructor in Mechanical Engineering. A man small in stature but mighty in brain. Whether blowing-off Steam or expounding on the foundations of mighty skyscrapers Ickey astounds the student body with his marvelous grasp upon the English language. If you want real info ' ask Ickey — he knows. Cornelius Leonard Glen, Instructor in Finishing. Doc is our genial instructor in Finishing who initiates us into the mysteries of the fooling mill. Things went all right till we heard he was fired because he was cott-(on) napping. Arthur Kimball Johnson, S.B., Instructor in Chemistry. Mr. Johnson is better known as the Black Friar because of the long black lab-coat he wears. He has a wide knowledge of the theory and practice of chemistry. When attending his classes it is recommended that one carry a copy of Webster ' s Unabridged. v Elmer Edward Fickett, B.S., Instructor in Chemistry. Mr. Fickett was once addressed as Professor by a misguided youth, and the result has been noticeable ever since. He thoroughly understands the intricacies of Quant and is always ready to explain any point not clear. 18
