THE PICKOUT 1923 DAVID ANNAPOLSKY E Q W' lVinthrop. lN1ilSSilClll1S6t.tS navni' ANNA Class Baseball 1. F2, 3, 4 Rams Class Football 1 Dramatic and Musieal Club Q. 3 Class Basketball Q, 3, 4 In 1919, Dave entered our college as one more of the graduates of the Boston English High School who came to Lowell Textile School to gain a. higher education. Anna hails from the regions of the sea, the town of VVinthrop, but take it from those who know him, he is no relation to the famous food-article, namely fish. Since he came to our school he has gained a name for himself as the boy with the perpetual sunny smile and a pleasing personality. However. there is one uncommon fault with him. Oh! how he hates the women. Out in Winthrop, everyone thinks that Rodolf Valentino is our Dave Annapolsky under disguise. Vile have heard considerable about what the wool king. William Vlfood, has done for the lVoolen Industry, but when our Anna with the sunny dispo- sition gets out in the business world. he bids fair t.o make as big a name for him- self. Good luck to you and may we hear of you in the future. To him who smiles so pretty And has such winning ways, life dedicate this little story To the boy that's known as Dave 27

THE PICKOUT 1923 progresses. Lombard and Hart are working hard for the producing of a successful season, and they have the power to accomplish this task. The baseball team has one of the stiffest schedules ever prepared, but it also has a bright outlook with hlacher as captain. Several other Seniors will un- doubtedly appear in the line-up. The mid-year exams have just passed and we are hoping that every member of the class of twenty-three has done his level best to reach the goal now only a few weeks away. VVe are busily engaged on our Theses, and other subjects, yet we are active in other school affairs for we find a Senior at the head of the co-operative store, the lunch room, and we also lay claim to the manager and editor of the Teart, as well as having Senior presidents of the Alembic and Engineering Societies. The time is fast approaching when we can only look back in retrospect at those days so full of memories, and when we shall stand loaded with knowledge, at the brink of a yawning, cavernous abyss, gazing into the great beyond, into the future, which can be pierced by no mere mortal eyes. We shall stand there waitingg waiting to be ruthlessly pushed off, only to fall down,- down,-down through an inflnitude of space, until we strike upon the sharp rocks of practical experience in t.he textile world. Bl ay every member of nineteen twenty-three carry on the standards we have set, and grow in knowledge. lVe lead. others follow. Q6

THE PICKOUT 1923 HENRY JONES ATWOOD Wlaltham, Massachusetts O H GHENRYU LUKE', nun Rams 1, Q, 3 Inter-Fraternity Council 3 Class Football 1, 2 A tall, aristocratic youth with curly blond hair sat. nervously in a fast-flying express from i Boston to Lowell. For the fifteenth time he drew out his Waltham watch Ca product of his home townj and glanced at it. VVould he never reach Lowell, the home of Lowell Textile School, where he was about to register and become as woolly a wool man as ever fondled wool. But the express iinally reached tl1e Spindle City as B. Sz BI. trains have a habit of doing, sooner or later, and he at once found luxurious apartments at the local Y. lil. C. A. Luke settled down to work and showed the instructors that the man from VValtham had better be watched. Nightly, after a hasty repast at the W.. Plaza, he would return to his room, ignoring the , attractions displayed at Keith's, and set the grind while later in through his open windows floated the strains of Campbellis over in Associate Hall. But. did our hero heed them? Nay, nay, not until he had finished his problems and put on his black jazz bow. But speaking of women, Luke stands second to none. VVe can readily under- stand why all the Lowell debutantes' hearts fluttered when introduced to lVIr. Atwood of Textile. but Henry ignored them all for he had left someone in VValtham who he thought would bea.r watching. But those days are gone forever! Two nights a week he puts on his fancy vest and journeys to parts unknown. His rating in Lowell's social set has been brought to light. by his activities in the newly organized Shedd Park Country Club. Henry, the problems of the business world are now facing you, but with the same diligence and stick-to-itiveness which has been characteristic of your work at this institution we know you will overcome all obstacles and bring credit to your- self and your Alma Mater. 28
