THE PICKOUT 19 21 We defeated Senior and Sophomore teams, becoming class champions and having ' our numerals once more engraved on the interclass cup. The Textile Lunch was opened under the direction of a Junior, and prospered. We had our first glimpse of a Textile Show, and did our part in making it a success. We trimmed the Seniors in baseball, and things in general came our way. By a little bad luck we lost the championship in baseball, but that didn ' t bother us much. At Upstream Day the Juniors shone, and ' twas a sad moment when finals were finished and we were obliged to separate for the summer. Senior Days. Our final year at L. T. S. showed a Senior class of thirty members, many of whom had started in as Freshmen with us. At the beginning of school the Textile Cooperative Society came into existence with a Senior at the head. A new Athletic Association Constitution was drawn up, put into effect, and a Senior elected as the first president. In football, a Senior was captain. Likewise, a Senior was manager. The class of ' 24 (which, by the way contains some good material) defeated us for class football championship only after one tie game, and another, which was hard to lose, by the score of seven to six. As Seniors, we were hard at work on our Thesis subjects, keeping up our scholastic standing, and yet entering into all the school activities with the same amount of pep which was characteristic of our bunch. Seniors were working hard on the Pickout, with the aim of publishing the best year-book old L. T. S. has ever seen. And ' twill be the members of the class of nineteen twenty-one who will carry the name of Textile out into the business world, as they carried on the work while they were within her walls. 24

THE PICKOUT 19 21 THEODORE WILLMOTT BOYLSTON TED Football, 1 Class Football, 3, 4 The Text, 2, 3, 4 Alembic Society, 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Baseball, 1, 2, 3 Textile Show, 3 Not far from Boston there is a town called Milton. It was in this town that Theodore W. Boylston, now known to us as only Ted, re- ceived his preparation for Lowell Textile School. He had not been here very long before his presence became known, for it was in his first year that Ted played on the varsity football team. And about the same time, one might have no- ticed a few paintings on the rocks under the bridge — and I ' m sure Ted could tell us a little story in connection with them. So following his early start Ted has carried on from year to year, taking an active part in all L. T. S. affairs. In the latter part of his Junior year Ted became a little uneasy. To appease his uneasy spirits he took a little cruise around the world on one of Uncle Sam ' s naval training ships. Since his return Ted has had many interesting tales ready to spin when the spirits move and the delighted listeners assemble. He had many experiences in other parts of the continent that he will long remember. Of all his experiences while on the cruise he will probably remember longest the dusty and noisy work of coaling ship. This year Ted has had charge of the cash end of the Text and judging from its appearance he is one great little manager. After considering the past and the present, we believe that the future should be very bright for Ted. A long, lean bird is Theodore, He works like Helen Thensumore, He is generally found where there ' s dye pots around, And in summer takes snaps along the shore. 26
