THE IMCKOl ' T 1 !) 2 4 ARTHUR ELLMAN ANDERSON Wakefield, Massachusetts on HANS ANDY SQUARE-HEAD ENDY A. A. T. C. C. 3, 4 Alembic Society 1, 2 Upon finishing his course at Wakefield High in 1920, Andy looked about for somewhere to spend the next four years, and after much thought and pondering he decided to come to the great metropo- lis of Lowell and enter the Textile School. After a consultation with the town-fathers, they decided that he could only spend the day times away, so he became a commuter. One fine day in September, he arrived on a train burdened with a human cargo of Textile and Normal School hopefuls. He journeyed to the school and was completely captivated by Charlie ' s word of welcome. After quite a struggle, Hans finally decided to become a great chemist and for the past four years he has been hard at work per- fecting himself in that difficult art. Quite un- common for a chemist, he took a great liking for Math and has studied its intricacies unceasingly. Hans has lately acquired a flivver, in which he tears over the landscape on his trip from Wakefield each morning. Standing in front of the school at about eight- forty-five each morning, one will hear a roaring sound and, upon inquiry, will learn from some of the know-it-alls that Andy is entering Lowell in his mufflerless flivver, and if you wait a minute or two you will see his chariot come thundering across the bridge. Andy is quite a favorite among the chemists because of his general likability, his pranks, and his good nature; and we feel sure that he will make a name for himself in the chemical world. 27

THE PICKOUT 1924 It was during this year that the annual musical comedy was inaugurated at Textile, and it was through the devoted and untiring effort of Mr. Winkfield that such a production was made possible. The show was a huge success, and exceeded the expectations of the producers in every way. Our members participating were Brigham, Hall, Miller, Flagg, Donovan, Wilcox, Dunnican, Hardie, Othote, and McKinley. The year was soon over, and we parted to take up our various summer occu- pations. Junior Days: In the fall we returned to renew our activities with increased vigor. Although our class had dwindled down to one-half its original size, because of our manufac- turers automatically becoming Seniors, we were well represented in all school activities. Our men contributing to the success of the varsity football team were Mitchell, Olsen, Brigham, Villa, Thorn, and Smith, while Brigham and Donovan upheld our name in swimming. Donovan was made captain and manager of this sport, and did much to give it a good start at Textile. F ' rinstance was the musical comedy presented this year, and was written by Edwin Fowle, one of our classmates. Mid-years came and went, and when finals were over we realized that we had but one more year of college to look forward to. Senior Days: We gathered this fall with many new members from the manufacturing courses and so far this has been our brightest and best year at Textile. With Olson as foot- ball captain, Booth as manager, and Smith, McKinstry, Brigham, and Wood other members of the team, we completed a very successful season. Midyears have just passed; and, as usual, our class has upheld its reputa- tion. We are looking with far-seeing eyes into the future and are making plans for our careers which will distinguish us as men of Textile. Ellis Judson Gordon In the following department are included not only Seniors but also those special- course men who are making this their fined year at Textile. An authentic list of the Seniors may be found at the end of the biographies.

THE PICKOUT 19 24 WALTER SHIRLEY ANDREWS Lowell, Massachusetts POP ANDY STUBBY After having served with honor with the 26th Division in the World War, Mr. Andrews decided upon a course at Lowell Textile School. Andy was not with us long when he had attained an enviable position in the admiration of his classmates. It has been his go-getter spirit that has won the confidence of others. These traits are sure to be an asset to him when he leaves the college to enter into the business affairs of the textile world. He is also a great baseball fan and would have been one of the college ' s best supports on the mound had he not been wounded during his service in France. He was wounded in his legs and this spoiled his speed on the diamond. Stubby has always been a great asset to s little world. An appropriate picture of him should be taken down in - as that background is the one with which we usually associate him. He understands the mule from head to tail. Although Pop is a worker, he has a great sense of humor and can always take a joke. His cheerful smile will be greatly missed around the college. Mr. Andrews is married and resides with his wife and young daughter at Grove Street, Lowell, Mass. Eddie Barker the wool lab
