' Hpr-f- ' x • ' , fames; tC. mitf) 1837-1926 Born in Lowell, Mass., January 28, 1837. Educated in the public schools of Lowell. Graduated from the National L T niversity Law School of Washington, D. C. Practiced law in Washington and later in Matoon, 111. Served four years in the Army of the Tennessee during the Civil War, rising from the rank of private to that of Adjutant of the 54th Illinois infantry. Following the war became one of the Division Chiefs of the Treasury Department at Washington and made extensive studies of the postal systems of European countries. Returned to Lowell to become the Secretary of the Board of Trade and during that time became interested in the organization of textile schools. Conceived the idea of organizing the Lowell Textile School about 1893 and petitioned the legislature for its incorporation in the year 1895. Became the Clerk of the Board of Trustees of The Lowell Textile School and continued in that office until 1919. Died at his home in Lowell on January 18, 1926. Such, in outline, is the career of the man whose life has recently come to a close. What a variety of activities and what a range of interests are here indicated! What opportunities for the employment of the training of the lawyer, the warrior, the organizer and the educator, have come to this man of varied tasks and many years! What can we learn from this? This is the lesson which we should learn from his life. We should learn to welcome every opportunity for extending our fund of information and developing our talents, regardless of the direction in which we may seem to be travelling at the time. For no man knows what will be the requirements of the future, and what bits of knowledge may be of most worth. 23 THE PICKOUT 1926 The home of this man, pictured at the head of this sketch, was one of Lowell ' s older dwellings, built at a time when construction was designed to be substantial rather than showy. It is located on upper Middlesex Street, not far from the point where the old Middlesex Canal entered the Merrimack River. At the time it was built this portion of the city promised to become commercially important, but the advent of the railroad put a check on such plans. A visit to this home was always an inspiration to all whose privilege it was to call this man friend. You who are now members of the student body will have no difficulty in recognizing the picture of the tree which stands on the bank of the river across the road from the present buildings. At the time these buildings were being erected and the roadway laid out, James T. , as he was affectionately called, noticed that this was an unusual tree and sent some of its leaves and twigs to experts at the Arnold Arboretum in Eoston. Examination showed it to be a specimen of the Hack- berry tree, a family really belonging to the tropics and all but unknown in this climate. Thus he saved to our school and to all tree lovers a rare specimen of which we should take more notice. No sooner had this man seen his visions begin to take shape in substantial brick and stone, than he commenced making their surroundings more attractive and beautiful. Recognizing the possibilities that lay in a field flanked on one side by Southwick Hall and Kitson Hall, and on the other by a row of trees of unusual beauty, this man of enthusiasm undertook to surround the grounds with a fence both substantial and tasteful; and to do it in such a way as to make it a bond between each graduating class and its Alma Mater. Think of this, you men of ' 26, as you construct that portion of the campus fence which it is your privilege to erect. Always devising, always organizing, was this man of many plans. Do you know that to him you owe the satisfaction of the open field fronting Southwick Hall, some day to be made still more beautiful? You owe to him the shrubbery that borders our present campus. You owe to his genius the plans for a gymnasium building at the back of our present campus and separating it from the lower level at the rear. On some day, there will be our athletic field, while our present campus becomes the field of beauty that it deserves to be made. It is in a very literal sense that he was given the title of Father of the Lowell Textile School, for he not only was its founder, but throughout the remainder of his life it was to him as a child to be trained and guided towards the highest ideals. You owe it to him to carry on and to carry on in enthusiasm and with strength. Build thee more stately mansions, my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free; Leaving thine outgrown shell by life ' s unresting sea! 2i f)e ®lb cfjool This is the cradle of the Lowell Textile School. It is in one of the business blocks on Middle Street and is now occupied by several business organizations. The Textile School occupied the three upper floors in the area to the right of the sign which marks the center of the building and the main corridor. To the left of the sign only the two upper floors were occupied. Commencing in the upper floor and at the left of the picture came first the Department of Cotton Yarn Manufacturing and its laboratory. At the right and on the upper floor were the Assembly Hall or big lecture room with three small class-rooms behind it. It was from the windows of this room that Professor Umpleby was occasionally greeted with a shower of his own design pegs as he came along the walk below. On the floor below and at the left was the Department of Wool and Worsted Manufacturing and its laboratory. To the right of the corridor were the Main Offices and the Weave Room. On the third floor down and to the right of the sign came the Department of Ch emistry and Dyeing with its laboratory, and directly behind it were the ' And Looms. It was from these windows that an occasional mild shower from water bottles greeted the passerby, while at the same time the heads engaged in showering the pedestrian were themselves given a sudden bath at the hands of some one on the floor above armed with a bucket of water. This was nearly thirty years ago. 25 Cfje Campus You are now standing at one of the windows in the upper floor of Kitson Hall, looking down upon the campus as it was about twenty-one years ago. A few years before this picture was taken, Moody Street was a narrow cut between two high peaks of rock which rose above the street as high as the tops of the present trolley poles. To reduce these peaks, crush the rock and put it where it belonged in the form of improved streets, was the work of several years. To convert what was left into level field, surrounded by an ornamental fence and still further made beautiful by means of evergreens and flowering shrubs, was one of the tasks of James T. Smith. Use your imagination, Mr. Center Fielder (1926 model), as you roam over this spot seeking to connect with the elusive fly. The place where now you race was once accessible only to mountain goats and eagles. Note also the Five Ton Truck and the Peerless Chaise. 20 Class of ' 00 Here is a group of young men having their picture taken. Why are they so dressed up? They are dressed this way so they can show their grandchildren how they used to look when they were in the Lowell Textile School. If you will look at the figures on the board behind them you will see that they are the Class of ' 00. Who is the gentleman in the middle distance? That is W. W. Crosby who was then principal of the school. See the things they have in their hands! Are they armed? No, those are the tools they were using when called by the photographer. Did they always work and never play? Not always. Why do they look so serious? That is because they are about to Graduate and they are wondering if anyone will have the courage to hire them. Did they know a lot about Textiles? They knew more then than they have ever known since that day. Have they any grandchildren? NOT YET. 27 miox Cla££ Officers;, of 1926 William Charles Smith Ernest Dana Oilman Francis Charles Kennedy Philip Edwin Mason Joseph Adrien Lussier President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Executive Council 30 Clasisf SMsrtor p, 1926 JfregJ)tnan Baps Perhaps the most eventful day of our lives, or second only to the day we became austere and dignified Seniors, was the day we, the Class of 1926, were welcomed within the portals of L. T. S. as green and unsophisticated Freshmen. The memory of that September the twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty-two, will dwell with most of us for many a day for two reasons: the pleasant and hearty welcome given us by our Prexy, and the far from pleasant, but none the less hearty, welcome given us by those self-appointed Lords of All Creation, the Sophs. What a rude introduction to the city of our Alma Mater that was and how painfully did wc bare ourselves to the unsympathetic public eye! After selling the Square at auction and telling all whom it might concern how green we were, the Sophs graciously allowed us to withdraw. Thus did ' 26 meet as a body for the first time. Soon after school opened we were again called together, and the president of the Class of ' 25 -- Guy Harmon — addressed us. The Sophomore rules for our protection and guidance were read and dire warnings issued against their violation. Next the names of all present were put in a hat and the names of temporary class officers were drawn. On October the eleventh, another class meeting was held, and the men who were to be our permanent officers for the year were elected. They were: Harry M. Sutcliffe, President; Herbert B. Perry, Vice-President; Cyril V. Moore, Treasurer; Douglas O. Lees, Secretary. A week later, the Freshmen were given a reception in the assembly hall by the Faculty and instructors. It was the first of its kind and after we became reasonably sure that we hadn ' t walked into a hidden trap of the Sophs, we entered into the spirit of the occasion, and keen was the competition in the various games and great was the applause rendered to our entertainers from Keith ' s. That night, too, saw the first united opposition to the Sophs. They proved a cowardly lot and nary a one could be induced to come out and show us who was master; neither could they find the courage to climb down and wipe out that bold and staring ' 26 on the canal wall. No wonder it began to dawn on us that we might call our souls our own after all ! The spirit and punch of 1926 began to reflect itself in athletics and was first evidenced in that fiercely contested and evenly matched football battle which 31 THE PICKOUT 1926 ended with a 6-6 tie. Later the superiority of the new men was shown when they played off that tie to the tune of a 7-0 victory. The winning streak passed from the gridiron to the gym, where the Sophs were completely annihilated at basketball. The score was 21-9. On Tech night at the Y the Freshmen matched themselves against the Juniors — the winners of the Junior-Senior game of an earlier date. The playing was the big event of the evening and the best the Juniors could do was to run up 16 points against our 28. Not to be one-sided in our athletic accomplishments, we carried off the greatest number of points in the swimming meet that evening, and later several of the men who represented Textile on the regular swimming team were recruited from the Freshman ranks. Along academic lines the Class of 1926 had a record of merit. None failed to pass the five-week exams; mid-years came to find our ranks still unbroken, and even the dreaded finals did not seem quite so dread when they were met face to face. Socially the class was there, and entered with a spirit into all the parties held that year. With the closing of school in the spring came the awarding of the coveted T ' and many of the Freshman class were found to have earned theirs in football, basketball, and on the diamond. ikipfjomore Bapg Those of us who survived the finals in the spring came back in the fall with a burden on our shoulders — the burden of upholding the traditions of the Sopho- more class and of starting the Frosh along the lines which would, in their turn, make them worthy of the name of Sophomore. The incoming class brought with it a spirit of insubordination which at first caused its members an undue amount of night life, but they finally saw the light and things began to run more smoothly. The old winning streak of ' 26 again manifested itself on the football field this year and enabled us to hang up two victories; one against the Frosh, 18-0, and the other against the Seniors, 6-0. In basketball we were not so fortunate and went down under a 26-16 defeat at the hands of the Freshmen on the annual Tech night at the Y. Probably the greatest event in the history of the class for this year was the kidnapping of our president, Bill Smith. Called to the office by a forged note, he was pounced upon and, greatly outnumbered, he could not but submit to capture. This was the first intimation the Sophs had that the Freshmen had planned a banquet for that night. The city was scoured high and low for the missing Bill , THE PICKOUT 1926 but the best we could do was to capture the Freshman president, Perk Maguire, and hold him ' til the banquet was over. When the banquet hall was finally dis- covered it was surrounded by so many officers of the law that all hope of getting in on the feed was abandoned, lest we be arrested for assault and battery upon the persons of those innocent Frosh, and the best we Sophs could do was to exchange Perk for Bill. Scholastic ally the Class of ' 26 again passed unscathed through mid-years and finals and some of us were among those to whom were awarded prizes at graduation for proficiency in our studies. The class was represented on the managing board of the annual Textile Show, Nothing but the Truth, and it was also instrumental in planning and successfully running the first annual Sophomore-Freshman dance. f utttor Baps; The return to L. T. S. as the Junior class found the ranks of ' 26 much depleted in numbers due to the automatic transfer of our three-year men to the Senior class. Those of us that were left ably maintained the spirit of the Class as was evi- denced by the large number of Juniors who reported for football, baseball, and basketball, as well as by those who did work for the Text and Pickotjt and who joined the newly formed Glee Club. Mid-years had no terrors for men who had successfully weathered two years of such exams and the finals found us eagerly looking forward to those yellow slips which should proclaim us Seniors. Mentor Hear Senior year has found our class ranks filled by the entrance of the three-year men so that our numbers include men of many talents. Among us are football and basketball stars and men who are managers of these sports. We have men of musical talent helping to make the name of Textile known abroad through their efforts in the Glee Club and Orchestra. Still others are using their pens and their business ability to make the Text and this, our year book, big successes. And others still are applying their knowledge, gained through four long years, in theses in which they hope to solve problems which are at present puzzling the industry. With the passing of mid-years has come the final stage of our training which will fit us to go out into the world and become men of credit to our college and of value to the textile industry. 33 THE PICKOUT 1926 HAROLD ROBERT ANDERSON ANDY Lowell, Massachusetts buster shorty whitey Textile Show 2 Textile Shield 4 Four years ago Shorty dropped in on us from across the city. He is a graduate of the Lowell High School and since his arrival here he has spent most of his time in the Wool Department telling Eddie how to manufacture yarn and weave it into cloth. He is so interested in this • work that it is not out of the ordinary for him to walk off and forget his books when explaining how the processes take place. Shorty was not here long before he took upon himself the task of opening the school doors every morning and this he has done most faithfully. He is a fine fellow, quiet in his manner, and his good influence is felt wherever he goes. Shorty often may be heard giving the good advice: Don ' t smoke, it stunts your growth. We have heard it said he has a weakness for the fair sex which might prove fatal. Seriously, though, Shorty is liked by all, and we firmly believe that it is Shorty today and Mr. Anderson, Superintendent and Designer, tomorrow. Go to it. Shorty; we all wish you the greatest success. 34 THE PICKOUT 1926 ALFRED RICHARD BACHMANN Lowell, Massachusetts AL BABYHEINIE FREDDIE 5 Baseball 1 Class Football 1 Class Basketball 1 Al came across the surging Merrimack one sunny morning late in September, 1924, tightly clinging to Papa ' s hand. He immediately enrolled as a Special Designer and since then has spent much of his time in perfecting a new design for a blanket, to be used by the toreadors of Old Spain in their national pastime. Al is ever ready to give exhibitions showing just how and why these blankets should be used. Al ' s bright and shining countenance has graced the Weaving Department much of the time this last year, during which he has capably acted in the capacity of assistant to Mr. Hoellrich. He has thus proven his ability in his chosen line of work so if you are ever stuck on a particularly difficult problem — just ask Freddie and he ' ll make it all clear. Besides all his studying, Al has found time to indulge in other activities, both athletic and social. Indeed it is rumored that many a feminine heart has missed a beat or two on his account. And now, as this cheery good fellow steps out into the World of Textiles we ' ll say We ' ll miss you, and look for big things from him in years to come. 35 THE PICKOUT 1926 FRANK EVRON BAKER Winchendon, Massachusetts effie shylock ' Executive Council 3 A.

H., on a dark and dreary evening, and his father first saw and heard him, he knew he ' would be a great musician so he named him Franz. But his father had not figured on the youngster ' s calling correctly, for the day Franz was six months old he opened up that large aperture beneath his nose and shoved in his best bib and tucker. With a gleeful twinkle in his eye and a solitary hair on his head he gurgled in a child-like manner, urg oosh, which, translated according to his mother, means: It tastes like a good fabric. His folks decided thereon that he would be a textile engineer, hence his presence here. Effie is an extensive traveler. Tis said he is trying to keep certain railroads from going into the receiver ' s hands, but when Effie goes the railroads ' loss will be someone else ' s gain. When not studying, Effie assumes the role of Jesse James, and the way he gathers in the shekels would make Shylock blush. Nevertheless, we all have great admiration for Franz ' s ability and to say we know he has a great future in store is putting it mildly. We wish you success, Effie, and may all your troubles be little ones. 36 THE PICKOUT 1926 WILLIAM SAMUEL BAKER Memphis, Tennessee 40 8 w. s. BAKE HOBEY BILL This Kentucky Babe, who first saw the light of day in Louisville, entered as a student of Engi- neering, but feeling the call of The Land of Cotton decided to get into closer touch with the fiber. Allying himself with the nail eaters he now sets the cotton men a pace such as only a Kentucky race horse can maintain. It is common knowledge that he has made the magnificent wager of one doughnut (hole and all) on his ability to absorb information faster than it stews out of his Profs. Skilful in debate, he is no mean antagonist in an argument, and many a time Referee Woodbury is called in to settle the matter of altering a change gear. You can see him almost any day at work in the cotton lab., running two or three machines himself, advising on the operation of others, and exhorting his le ss industrious classmates to move. Many a classmate knows more than he would if Bake had not riled him by incessant questioning until he did some work for himself. His closing statement in argument is often, You keep at it and you ' ll know something about it some day. He used to rattle around in a flivver and make mysterious visits down to the Cape, but never has seemed to be the worse for such excursions. Always pleasant, always industrious, his motto seems to be: Heaven helps the working man, the intellectual must look out for himself. When he receives his diploma Textile will have an added star in her crown; and we who have been associated with him will miss the presence of a loyal friend when he betakes himself to the Land of Tomorrow. 37 THE PICKOUT 1926 BYRON BENTLEY Methuen, Massachusetts A K J Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Captain Football 4 Hail, the Shoddy King! Now, dear reader, you are gazing upon the largest boy, the most popular boy, and one of the best gladiators that ever donned a moleskin at L. T. S. Byron hails from Methuen, Mass., and after completing his education at the Methuen High School, he deemed it quite necessary to learn the intricacies of the manufacture of woolen and worsted yarns. So, when the Freshman class marched down to Merrimack Square on a beautiful morning in September in 1923, Byron led them, decked out in the garb of a young lady. Thus, he was introduced to L. T. S. Football is Byron ' s greatest weakness. It ' s his appetite for three meals a day during the season. Many a time in the last three years he has banged the opposing line to submission and has caused many an enemy coach to add a few gray hairs to his head during the progress of a game. But, please do not try to think that all his time is taken up by football, for a part (?) of his time he gives to study and he has shown the bookworms how to pass some of the most difficult subjects. Then again his side-kick, Gillie, has some- times suffered by his neglect and had to go home to Lawrence on the Bay State while Byron has burned up the road to Medford and Jackson College, where a fair damsel awaits his arrival to take her to the Symphony. Never will we forget the time that one of the instructors, in whose class Byron happened to be that afternoon, asked him if he was the new Supervisor of Buildings. He never did like staying in the lab. all afternoon and consequently journeyed up to the T. C. A. for an hour or so, and took a few of the boys with him. Byron expects to go into business with his father next year. Then the shoddy competitors will have to get moving for he can sell bathing-suits to the Eskimos. Good luck, Byron, and may your health be blessed with great wealth ! 38 THE PICKOUT 1926 WILLIAM FRANCIS BROS NAN Lowell, Massachusetts (]. if BILL BROS Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Captain Football 4 Baseball 3 Basketball 3, 4 A. A. T. C. C. 2, 3, 4 Manager Baseball 4 Pickout 4 Executive Council 4 Secretary Executive Council 4 As Bill comes from a family of athletes it is not surprising that he has been four years on the football team and its captain this year. Baseball and basketball have also claimed a large amount of his time. When we saw him planning defiance to the Sophomores on that first day when we were Freshmen, we decided that some day he would make a reputation for himself. The way he led the football team this fall was an inspiration to his team-mates and a pride to his friends and we know now that we were right when we decided, back in 1922, that that determined look and out- thrust jaw prophesied great achievements. In chemistry, Bill has shown a desire for more knowledge than is derived in the ordinary course. Having a weakness for thoroughness, he is going over again some of last year ' s subjects. This means that he ' ll probably be here next year, and it gives us a contented feeling to know that he will be available for next year ' s football team. As baseball manager Bill has arranged a great schedule and the team can be confident that it will get real service and lots of it while he is on the job. He has been proudly telling us of his plans for tailor-made uniforms, but these plans fell flat the other day, and now he expects to get them from Raymond ' s where u bot the hat. He could supply the tailor-made suits, but he hasn ' t got a gun, and he never was much of a yegg, anyway. Bill ' s friends, who are many, know that his success here will continue and that we are going to be more and more proud that we can call him friend. 39 THE PICKOUT 1926 NORMAN SPAULDING BUCHAN Andover, Massachusetts on buck A. A. T. C. C. 2, 3, 4 Orchestra 4 Local Research Council 4 Our experiences with the dour Buck are perhaps rather limited in some ways. Among the M 5m chemists, however, his meticulous care and vis- cosity of action are well known. To omit his • characteristic of thrift would do injustice to his ancestral tree. But, after all, how can one give and still have? Keep it up, Buck; such motives have made great industrial chemists. To some great philosopher is attributed the thought that the knowledge of one ' s apples is possessed by every man. Now although we have no definite tangible proof of Norman ' s acquaint- ance with the fair sex, we do not believe he is an exception to the above statement. Great sophistry hath been quoted by him. English and History are a great asset to a chemist, thought Buck, so he took an extra year of each. The derived benefit appeared in his instantaneous reply to Professor Olney ' s query What is a science? We also see fit to put Norman among our list of professional musicians. We remember how he would stumble over them in 1922, but now — Oh Boy! — page Mr. Confrey. Music hath its charms. Not professing to be crystal gazers or futurists we cannot prophesy what will become of our Buchan but, besides wishing him luck, we feel that he will soon be a Man of Mark in the Textile Industry. 40 THE PICKOUT 19 2 6 FRANCIS HAROLD BURKE Franklin, Massachusetts AK$ HANK OSCAR HAROLD MR. LOWELL WILLIE HUNTOON ' ; BURKE FRANKIE ' Basketball 1, 2, 3 Class Basketball 1 Baseball 1, 2, 3 Interfraternity Council 3 Meet Mr. Lowell, a snappy ball-room dancer and dresser, as Miss i merica will testify. At that social function Oscar killed two birds with one stone, for he made Miss Lowell famous in one night, and also turned Mr. America green with envy as he floated over the shiny floor to the jazz of the local orchestra. After graduating from Franklin High School, Hank prepared at Dean Academy, before enrolling at Lowell Textile School. Burkie as a young lad was a clever acrobat and after seeing a Pathe weekly which featured Porky Hoellrich hanging by his toes from the back of a Jacquard loom, Hank has striven to imitate him. He has. Today he is one of Hoellrich ' s troupe of Vanishing Americans. Before leaving Franklin Hank made a world-wide reputation for himself as a coon hunter, having gone on so many expeditions with the famous Willie Huntoon. When Harold leaves Lowell in June there will be many a heartache among the fair damsels of the city as he is acquainted with quite a few. But what is one city ' s loss is another village ' s gain, for then he will not receive that scented mail from Franklin and points West. When Hank receives an arduous message from the sweet woman he goes to the piano and plays and sings Marcheta, Love ' s Old Sweet Song, and other heartrending selections from his large repertoire. But, all joking aside, Hank plays a smooth game of basketball and there have been very few classier players than he to grace Textile ' s diamond. This June he leaves us, but his happy ways will linger long in our memory and we hope his path will be a successful one. Best of luck, pal, and may your future be bright. 41 THE PICKOUT 1926 JOHN JOSEPH CALLAHAN, Jr. Somerville, Massachusetts A K$ cal jack Class Football 1, 2 Jack comes direct from the wilds of Somerville. His appearance and personality make him the answer to a maiden ' s prayer, and he makes the most of this fact. He will surely be missed and no doubt there will be plenty of broken-hearted girls in Lowell when June comes around. One of Jack ' s accomplishments while at Textile has been his ability in handling pitchers in the bull pen. He may not have excelled on the diamond, but how that boy could warm up the moundsmen! He has also showed lightning speed on the basketball court but he considered himself of more value to the baseball team, so he forgot the indoor sport and featured in the bull pen. When he left Somerville he made up his mind to get an education at Textile. His first trip here was quite disastrous, for it resulted in thirteen blow-outs. He even lost the tire completely on the way home. In spite of Industrial History, Jack, you have proven yourself a scholar and a gentleman. We are sorry to see you leave us, but here ' s wishing you the best of luck in the future. THE PICKOUT 192 6 ROBERT WENTWORTH CHASE Canton, Massachusetts BOB PEG-LEG on NICKLEBAR ' AMY ; chaser r.av.

C. 4 Secretary of Textile Players 4 Interfraternity Council 3 German Club ] , 2, 3, 4 Not a member, Local Research Council Bob ' s first year here, that of 1921, remains as much of a mystery as the great Prehistoric Age of Mankind. However, through unceasing searching of chronicles it has been found out that the little boy from Canton made a great hit as a chorine in the 1922 show, I ' ll Never Tell. In the fall of ' 23 Bob did not return to college, for during the preceding summer he had been inca- pacitated through a train wreck and was forced to spend a good part of that year in the hospital. His presence was so missed at L. T. S. and in Lowell that President Eames and the Mayor ordered that the flags of the city be kept at half mast for a month. In spite of the fact that Peg-leg had missed a year of studies he returned in the fall of 1924 determined to leave the women alone, in order that he might continue his works in German and Industrial History. That year he was elected unanimously to be Professor Cushing ' s assistant and right-hand man, and he has held that honor ever since. Bob ' s popularity not only with his class-mates, but also with his instructors, is only one of his outstanding characteristics. He is also a capable and energetic worker, a trait which should carry him far in the field of research. With these qualities alone we can predict with great certainty that Nicklebar will be, within a few years after his graduation, a very successful consulting chemist, doing much for the industrial world of which he soon will be a part. 43 THE PICKOUT 1926 JOHN JOSEPH CONNORTON, Jr. Concord Junction, Massachusetts CONNIE JOHN CORNELIUS o ' tOOLE Football 2, 3 Class Football 1 What is the formula, Connie, for making the girls fall for you? It must be some sort of wonderful concoction, because it certainly does the work. Word of your fame has spread from Center- ville through Belvidere, including Merrimack Street, to Chelmsford and Dracut. John is one who is quite capable of adjusting himself to all locations and conditions so it did not take him long to become accustomed to the bright city lights, short dresses, etc., of Lowell. However, with these many distractions he achieved great success in the Design Course. He started the Engineering Course, but made a sudden decision to follow Heinie Bachmann ' s words of wisdom. During his second year Connie played a great game at tackle for Textile. He also did his stuff with the shock troops in the Worcester game. Connie was duly enrolled as a member of Page ' s Cadets, during his third year, by Cozy Ray Gallagher, a Past Master at the Square. He has also been seen at tea dances and at Wheaton. However, Connie really begins to shine at Roundy ' s Resorts, the Com- modore, and Associate. Although few are aware of the fact, John is a commuter — leaving home for the week-end at 7.00 A.M., Sunday morning, and returning at 7.00 P.M. that evening. If the regard of those of us who are fortunate enough to be listed among his friends is any indication of his ultimate success in business, we can state that he has a brilliant future before him. 44 THE PICKOUT 19 26 THEODORE CHARLES COTE Groveland, Massachusetts TED COOTIE A. A. T. C. C. 2, 3, 4 Local Research Council 4 Fourscore less seventy-six years ago our hero registered at Textile for the purpose of absorbing some of the fundamentals of chemistry. Ted soon made himself known by his ability on the piano. Many a weary hour was brightened by his lively tunes. We believe he felt a little unsettled his first year, and when next year we heard the news that he had enrolled at B. U. it was not a total surprise to us. But after a week at B. U. he could resist the charms and magnetism of Textile no longer, and the second week of the term found him in our midst again. Although we are positive that Ted is not narrow-minded, we have never been able to con- vince him that school does not end at three-forty. We do not know how he does it, but the explanation may be that he can sneak out unseen, due to his Lilliputian stature. We bestow upon you the laurels, Ted, for your commendable theme upon Physical Chemistry which drew applause from our own Professor. However, we advise you for your own safety not boldly to display these same laurels in the presence of any of your classmates. Soon you will be leaving us, Ted, but not without our best wishes for your health, happiness, and success. We sincerely believe that you will become one of those Men of Mark in the Textile Industry. 45 THE PICK OUT 1926 FLOYD CRANSKA Manchaug. Massachusetts FLOYD Floyd is a resident of the thriving and pros- perous city of Manchaug, Mass. Having finished his preparatory studies at Gushing Academy he began looking around for larger worlds to conquer. After much consideration as to the desirability of the numerous fields of industry and professions, this ambitious young man decided that the best was none too good for him. With that in mind he bade farewell to his many friends in Manchaug and made his way to Lowell Textile, to complete his education, so that he might some day make a name for himself in one of America ' s greatest industries. The way he has taken hold of his studies and in the lab. goes to prove that his intention is to succeed. One of Floyd ' s outstanding characteristics is his desire for detail. Why? is one of his favorite questions to a statement which is not quite clear to him. His shy, modest manner, his disinclination to talk about himself has the biographer at a loss to say just what his favorite amusements are, but it has been rumored that he likes both dancing and Keith ' s , and that he doesn ' t usually go stag. By his pleasant and agreeable disposition he has won the friendship of his many classmates who wish him a bright and prosperous future. 46 THE PICKOUT 1926 AVARD NELSON DARBY Billerica, Massachusetts A K$ darb blondy billerica nelson Secretary Musical Clubs 3 Treasurer Musical Clubs 4 If the odor of something burning is ever noticed, who else could be responsible but our little blonde song-bird from Billerica? One of his worst habits is that of strolling around the building, smoking cigars. He undoubtedly contracted this habit from the officials of the Hamilton Worsted Mill in Southbridge where he endeavored to revolutionize the textile business in one summer. That is not the only tobacco habit he contracted there. Darb is a commuter, but has his plentiful correspondence, from Orange and from some Western cities, delivered to a Lowell ad- dress. He is staying over in Lowell many nights lately to visit his latest affinity. No doubt when he is home he receives a letter a day to keep the worries away. After all of Nelson ' s failings have been placed in headlines it is fitting that we give him the credit he deserves as a noble member of the wool class. Darb is a very efficient mule spinner and the latest report is that he is to be given charge of the department. Darb has a multitude of friends, obtained by his winning ways, and everyone of them is wishing him the best of luck and success in his future endeavors. 47 THE PICKOUT 1926 K U R T EHRICH FEUSTEL Passaic, New Jersey f W ' FEUSTIE fare-box rags THE DUTCHMAN A.

A. 2, 3, 4 New Jersey has long been famous for her beer and mosquitoes, but the best thing she has exported in a long time is the genial Dutchman from Passaic. We do not know whether he came here willingly or not, but he has certainly been a credit to himself and the school. Feustie is a quiet chap and does not as a rule indulge in any form of undue or uncalled-for frivolity. When he speaks all listen in awe to his words of mighty wisdom which far outshine those of the world- wise Solomon in their brilliancy. Feustel is all that a true friend could be, and is always ready to help another person out of his or her troubles. It is whispered around that he is quite adept at dealing with the gentle ones, and we can easily picture him rising to any occasion that might occur. We are all looking for great things from Feustie and sincerely expect to see some day the great Feustel Mills towering over the others in Passaic, N. J. 48 THE PICKOUT 19 26 RAYMOND THOMAS GALLAGHER Lowell, Massachusetts AK J COZY ; RAY ARTIE ' Class Basketball 1, 2 Just four years ago from the wilds of Christian Hill came a man full of zeal and ambition to find out all that could be learned about textiles. Ray elected Eddie ' s wool course and has always main- tained that there is no course like it. For a lad who hails from Lowell he certainly is humorous, and his quiet, ready wit has provided no end of enjoyment, especially in the math class, where he soon showed his proficiency and his love of the subject. When it comes to being punctual Ray sure is on the dot. His 9.00 A. M. classes start at 9.20. However, lateness means nothing in his charmed life! Page ' s Cadets, which was founded by Cozy, still has its attraction for him, which is second only to his admiration for Lowell ' s fairer sex, which has always been a weakness of his. Despite Lowell ' s many attractions Ray has not slighted his studies. He is an expert in Wool Manufacture and the woolen mule has proved a conquest for him. Ray has a host of friends who have been attracted to him by his good fellow- ship and his genuine warm personality. We sadly bid him farewell, but joyfully realize that if there is a place in the world for a man of real ability, Ray cannot fail to reach it. 49 THE PICKOUT 1926 ERNEST DANA GILMAN Metliuen, Massachusetts ' GILLIE A K$ ERNIE ; DANA Vice-President of Senior Class Class Football 1, 2 Gillie received his preliminary education at Methuen High and Burdett College of Business Administration. He carried away honors at Methuen High, and is still keeping up the good work. Three years ago Ernie paddled up the Merrimack, and enrolled at L. T. S. — taking Eddie ' s famous Woolen and Worsted course. Gillie has since accomplished much with Brad- ford ' s toys in the Wool lab. His happiest hours are spent in playing around the drawing boxes and spinning frames. Ernie has initiative and high ambitions. Every morning he arises at 5.00 o ' clock and over- sees the beginning of a successful business day in Lawrence — stores opened, and the various indus- tries grinding towards production. He then boards By ' s fliv. and heads towards the Spindle City. Gillie is one of the most popular boys in the class. He has a winning person- ality and a smile for everyone. We all know where to go when we want a butt, ' cause Ernie always has a supply at our call. Dancing is Gillie ' s hobby. He is either Charlestoning around the Wool lab., or doing his stuff at Essex Hall. (That ' s not a finishing school though.) Ernie ' s greatest weakness is for the opposite sex. Guess we ' d all like to meet Anna — - ' Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue ' . We sure do hate to see you leave us Gillie. We all wish you success, and know that you will be a big figure in the Worsted Game before many years hence. .50 THE PICKOUT 1926 ALBERT BANGS GLADWIN North Weymouth, Massachusetts on fergus al gladwind Football 1, % 3 ' Way back in the dim past when we were Freshmen, we noticed in our midst one who had a tang of the sea. And who might he be? Ah! none other than the most illustrious Fergie, who is renowned for his talents in Math, and Mech. Let it be known that if any of the instruct- ing staff in these courses should be absent from our midst, Al would be competent to fill their places, due to his extensive training in these sub- jects. Fergus hails from where men are men and they drive rivets. He is of the same type. His physique has proven of great value on the gridiron. Fergus was one of the best guards this school has seen, and perhaps that is why Industrial History comes easy to him. Be that as it may, the loss of Fergus will prove a weakness in Textile ' s line that will be hard to strengthen. We have noticed during three years ' contact with Fergus, that his whole interest is not entirely centered in North Weymouth, but that the other surrounding- suburbs of Weymouth have a decided attraction for him. Whatever this attraction may be, Albert, remember that you have always claimed to be exempt from the wiles of the opposite sex. Spring will see Fergus giving Textile a fond farewell and with him will go the best wishes of all those who know that his friendship is a possession to be cherished. Let us toast then to the man who is bound to make his life worth living and who will make us proud that we can count him among our friends. 51 THE PICKOUT 1926 HAROLD THOMAS GO D F R E Y North Andover, Massachusetts J ?

A. 3 Show Assistant Business Manager 3 Show Business Manager 4 President Interfraternity Council 4 Hank must be credited with excellent judg- ment. He prepared for Textile at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and finally considered himself well prepared to come to Textile. He was very quiet his first few years, probably resting up from the activities of his pre-Textile days. But then his ability began to appear, as the list above shows. Shylock spent part of his four years at Lowell in trying to compare different makes of cars, travelling back and forth between Lowell and North Andover in a different car each day. He says he prefers a Cadillac. He is an expert card shark, and is con- ducting researches into the possibilities of card clothing versus red flannels. If his thesis works out successfully, Bet-A-Dollar claims that every King, Queen, and Jack in the deck will be clothed with his famous patented, non-skid card clothing, and he bets a dollar they will. He is already experimenting on his roommates at the fraternity house. In trying to take some off, Aloe Leonard almost pulled out his heavy beard. Of course Hank ' s success in the business world will be as big as it has been at Textile, and he will soon be sitting behind a large desk smoking one of his odorous El Ropo cigars. 52 THE PICKOUT 19 2 JOHN ROGER GREENWOOD, J it. Millbury , Massach use! ts on rOG HANK GREENIE RAJAH SKY-HOOK : Class Football 2 Class Baske tball 1, 2 Basketball 1, 2 The very roots and foundations of the woolen world were shaken in the year 1906. A new era had arrived — Roger was born. Being an unso- phisticated young man when he finished high- school, the euphonious word textiles took a firm grip on him, so he packed his tooth-brush and a pair of shoe laces and migrated to the great mill city to enter L. T. S. Here he soon formed many friendships among both sexes. Although studying much of the time, he always went in for the acti- vities accompanying a boy away from home. It is a well-known fact that Greenie burns the mid- night oil more than anyone else — more so when letters are to be sent to the fair ones in distant spots. We almost lost him when the search for the Lone Wolf was on, for he is such a fast stepper that he left the crowd ' way behind. There isn ' t a thing of the day that Roger doesn ' t know, and his imagination is one of the finest in captivity. One of Rajah ' s favorite sports is to go out at night with a lantern and spear suckers as they dash over the Pawtucketville Falls — he also has many sardine traps there. As president of the Liar ' s Club, he is in a class by himself, as he has no close competitors. Roger seems to think that a night spent away from the house does him a lot of good — he always returns appearing refreshed and full of pep. It is after such occasions that Hank and Limie perforin miracles in the Wool lab. Nevertheless, Sky-Hook is studious, ambitious, and conscientious, as is shown in his interest in all the subjects of the Wool Course. We are sorry to lose Roger, but we are confident that his natural ability, coupled with his training at L. T. S. will enable him to make his mark in the Woolen world. Our sincere wishes for the best o ' luck, Rog, old boy. 53 THE PICK OUT 1926 WILLIAM TABOR HATHAWAY North Cambridge, Massachusetts BLONDY TAFFY WEE-WILLIE ' WILLIE It was in the year 1923 that a young man with a quiet, unassuming manner joined our ranks at Textile. He told us that he hailed from North Cambridge, and we knew that another conqueror had come forth. This handsome youth with the yellow hair answered to the name of Willie. When asked why he had come to L. T. S., his answer was, that the spell of the textile industry has held him fast ever since he played dolls with the fair sex, when a child. In regard to the fair sex, Willie is very super- stitious. He crosses his fingers if one of them winks at him and this charm hasn ' t failed him yet. The girls go daffy about this sheik with the beautiful taffy hair, but he has consistently worked his charm and broken many a heart. Willie decided to be a follower of Professor Barker, which showed the keen judgment of the boy. Under the guiding hand of Limie Lowe he has become very proficient in figuring out the various dooblings and bawk stoods that have to be gone through to complete a set of operations. Taffy ' s one weakness is his fondness for English. At the beginning of the Fresh- man year he signed a contract with Professor Dow for a three or four-year course, and each has held to his part of the agreement. Wee Willie hopes, however, to be liberated from this contract in time to graduate. He is thinking of turning to writing as his avocation. Seriously, Willie deserves a lot of credit, for he has not only to contend with his studies, but also with outside work at which he has been able to pick up a few shekels. He is a willing worker, and a man who tries to please, and we are sure that he will find his efforts lead to success. As you go forth, Willie, the Class of 1926 wishes you success and knows that you will obtain it. 54 THE PICK OUT 19 26 ALVIN MANNING HYDE East Brimfield, Massachusetts on : tucker weenie al aggie fat Class Football 1, 2 Football 3 Al was a transfer from Massachusetts Aggie, but was not long in exchanging his bar- yard culture for the finesse of Lowell ' s social life. Quiet and cosy were his maneuvers, which always puzzled the boys, as he disappeared from the house all decked out. The telephone at the house was in constant use when Alvin was around, and we will all be glad when the day comes when he has his own private telephone as Superintendent of the Hamilton Woolen Mills. Weenie enlisted in Eddie Barker ' s corps of hardy Wool men and after a year of sorting short fibres was teaching the rudiments of Woolen and Worsted Manufacture to Hank Ply and Limie Lowe. Although Tucker ' s tendencies are toward Woolen and Worsted, he has a great love for Textile Chemistry and Dyeing, so much so that he walks out of the exam- ination room with the exam sheet in his pocket. Seriously, though; it did not take long for the boys to find out what sterling qualities underlie this quiet exterior. Al has the right stuff in him, he never shirks responsibility, and has the self-confidence which makes him successful. When you go out into the world to make your mark, Al, you take with you the best wishes of your friends and classmates. Good Luck, old man. 5.5 THE PICK OUT 1926 GEORGE FRANKLIN ISAACSON Walt ha m , Massach usetts A K4 DINT Class Football 2 PlCKOUT 3 ike handsome ' Show Committee 4 SKIZZ Manager Basketball 4 Executive Council 4 Look at this handsome countenance. You would take him to be a quiet and unassuming ' chap — but boy — maybe he doesn ' t know his seats ! From the amount of notoriety Paul Revere received from one night ' s escapade, Ike, in com- parison, deserves at least beaucoup mention in Les Cushing ' s History Classes. The only difference between these two men is that Ike rode a Ford and very seldom alone. Many the wayward girl he warned of the lurking dangers in present-day ball games and other pastimes. He is the Rasping Sensation of today. What a boy! Never was a fair damsel left at a door without means of entrance while a window was in view. Great booster is Ike. At school he played cosy, not a bit of dirt could his classmates coax from him. We often wondered the meaning of those missives smeared with puppy talk that caused so many mail men to resign due to fallen arches. It is a poor man that doesn ' t excel in something, and from the amount of influence Ike has on the missing rib of man he certainly should some day make a mighty competent overseer of a spinning room at least, but we expect bigger things than that. Completing the prescribed Wool course, and later specializing in Design, he is fitted to cope with the textile business as well as the best of them. His ability to execute is shown in his success at managing Textile ' s basketball team of ' 26. Well, it is needless to wish you success, Ike, for you certainly are attaining it every day. You have our very best wishes for the future that lies ahead of you. 5G THE PICKOUT 19 2 6 TOM T II M A S JOY Medford, Massachusetts cLip ' ' FULLER GLOOM ' ' JOY A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4 A. S. M. E. President 4 Class President 3 Show Cast 4 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Baseball Captain 4 Class Football 1, 2 When our Thomas entered the portals of Lowell Textile School the magic words Federal Board Student repulsed all Sophomores with sinister intent. In Fuller ' s first year he starred in Professor Cushing ' s physical education class. He started his baseball tactics in Weaving classes, for which he was severely chastised. In the spring Gloom blossomed forth onto the diamond on which he proved to be the season ' s sensation. He played for four years and held the captaincy in his fourth year. Tom did not let his activities interfere with his marks for they were of the best. The other sex had no appeal for Joy because he has been a Benedict for too many years. His last name is no misnomer and he has always lived up to it; in fact he is so well known that nearly all the instructors and Profs know him as simply Tom. His only pessimism is in his favorite statement, Somebody is always taking the life out of Joy. Here ' s to many joyful and successful years, Thomas. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. 57 THE PICK OUT 1926 FRANCIS CHARLES KENNEDY Holyoke, Massachusetts A K$ cozy peppy frank ken Manager Basketball 3 Class Vice-President 3 A. S. M. E. % 3, 4 Class Treasurer 4 Vice-President Executive Council 3 Oh, do not be deceived, gentle reader, by this facsimile shown here, for behind these gentle eyes, . sloping forehead and fine silky hair, lurks a mind of the greatest cunning, capable of accomplishing mighty things with graceful nonchalance and expert mischievousness. Cozy Frank and his friend Doug Lees have made their city of Holyoke doubly famous in Lowell and Lawrence. However, Frank has never allowed any of these distractions to interrupt, and with little apparent effort he has succeeded in the Engineering course — even to the President ' s List. One of his greatest assets is his dashing, speedy manner except while en route to Astor Street, when he has actually been known to hurry. Cozy, as basketball manager his third year, proved to be one of Cush ' s most economical assistants. The remarkable course of Economics has made him capable of this — no doubt. We are all sorry to see Frank go, but we take this opportunity sincerely to wish him the best of success and happiness in the future. 58 THE PICK OUT 19 26 FREDERICK LEO KENNEY Franklin, Massachusetts A K$ RED FREDDY LEO Basketball 1, 2, 3 Captain Basketball 2, 3 Baseball 1, 2, 3 Class Treasurer 2 Executive Council, 2, 3 President Executive Council 3 The town of Franklin is famous for two things, — the home of Benjamin Franklin and for Red Kenney. Leo spent two years at Tufts Dental before he decided to change his calling and become a mill man. This big, able-bodied fellow who is serious and a hard worker, has been the Pride of Eddie Barker and his course. The Joy of this com- bination is George Leavitt, his side-kick. Red ' s reputation on the court and diamond preceded him from Dean Academy where he was a star for several years. He has lived up to this reputation in every sense of the word. He has been the mainstay of the basketball team for three years, and captain for the last two. He has also found time to play a neat game on the diamond both at bat and in the field. Red has done very well in his studies, taking into account that he has partici- pated in two sports every year he has been here. He is also a charter member of the Mech and Math classes. Leo was always a great favorite with the fair sex — perhaps this is due to his flaming red hair. But the ladies never bothered him too much for he was true to the girl he left behind him. Well, Red, we wish you all the luck in the world, and surely with your dispo- sition you are bound to succeed. 59 THE PICKOUT 10 3 L I M A O K U O Taichowfu, China A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4. C. S..C. 2,3,4 Here is our Chinese friend who escaped from being initiated on entering this institute in the fall of 1923. He was transferred from Tsing Hua College, Peking, China, and started his work in Lowell Textile as a Sophomore in our Textile Engineering Department. When being requested to attend a traditional reception for new students conducted by the Sophomores of that time, he declined the privilege at once and said that rods are not necessary for him who was to be one of us. Limao is a frank and enthusiastic friend, and nothing has made him angry during his three years with us. Although he did not have any previous train- ing in the line of textiles before coming to this school, Limao was quick to pick up the necessary information. Today, his intelligent experiment on long draft in Cotton Spinning arouses much interest amo ng the brother engineers. White his name has per- sistently appeared in our President ' s List of honor students, he would say modestly: It ' s only a lucky strike. Limao says: I like this school in many respects. I have enjoyed all the fun here. May this institute be in my memory as long as I can remember the degree of B. T. E. 60 THE PICK OUT 19 2 6 GEORGE HERBERT LEAVI T T Old Town, Maine on GEORGIE LEFTY LEVI Class Vice-President 2 Georgie hails from Old Town, Maine, where the Vanishing Americans hold sway. He mushed in on us one bleak fall day with his well- known dog-team and began his study of the mysterious woolen fibre under the watchful eye and fluent tongue of Eddie Barker. It did not take Georgie long to get acquainted, as his sunny disposition would get him anywhere. Little does he care for instructors, for we think he knows more than they do. This year George has become more serious and has forsaken his old familiar haunts, but there ' s a reason. Congratulations, George! Where George will land next, after he leaves us, is still a mystery, but we are sure that he will be a gigantic success. So best wishes, Lefty , old boy, and we are all sure that you ' ve selected the right road to happiness and success. 61 THE PICK OUT 1926 JOSEPH ADRIEN LUSSIER Woonsocket, Rhode Island AK 1 joe LIMIE ; sheik j.a. professor ' Class Football 1 Football 2, 3 Executive Council 2, 3 Class Basketball 1, 2 PlCKOITT 3 Assistant Instructor Wool Department 3 Some three years ago our sheik came to Textile from the thriving metropolis, Woonsocket. After . spending four hard years in Woonsocket, Joe de- cided he was a glutton for punishment, so he matriculated at Lowell and enlisted in the ranks of Herbie Ball. Being so small that he was not noticed, he was ranked as a follower of Eddie Barker, who became so astounded at his deep knowledge that he was enlisted as the under- study of Limie Lowe as student instructor. Due to this close acquaintance with his superior he is now able to say ab-so-lute-ly with the same frequency and enunciation. Since coming to L. T. S., Joe has won fame for being able to hold and to keep happy three women at one time, and as a tamer of the feminine sex. As he has shown himself to be an apt pupil here at college by winning the Wool Prizes and staying on the President ' s List throughout his course, so has he dem- onstrated his ability as a teacher of the popular indoor sports. The ability to retain the patent leather finish upon his hair and his natty attire, which has caused the feminine hearts to flutter, is a matter of wonder, even though crawling about the machines of his favorite stamping grounds, the Wool Lab. Now that the three years are past we do not know what plans the Professor has for the future, but with his pleasing personality, together with his deep under- standing of his chosen profession, he is sure to be a success in all undertakings in which he may be interested. Go to it, Joe, and take with you the best of good wishes from the host of true friends you have made at L. T. S.

After commuting for a year he decided that even though he found the ambitious clause to be a bedtime story, he needed to be closer to school in order to help Professor Cushing in Industrial History and Economics, so he changed his mailing address to Lowell. With the acquisition of a Ford Sedan, Greek Boy made great strides socially and is one of the most sought-for parlor decorations in Textile at present. However the fairest of fair females couldn ' t keep our Scuff from his studies, so he is often referred to as Mr. Arty Fishal Silk. In the four years we have known Phil we have come to look for his smile and hearty greeting, and we shall all miss him after he has stepped out into Big- Business, but we know that he will keep Pegging away till he makes a name for himself, so we just wish him All Success. 63 THE PICK OUT 1926 SAMUEL MAZER Roxbury, Massachusetts sam jake A. A. T. C. C. 2, 3, 4 When Sam appeared back in ' 22 amongst that bunch of wild-eyed, coatless, and shoeless Freshies, little did we know that we were associating with a man who is destined to become famous in the world of chemistry. Little is known about his habits and haunts after he disappears on that Boston-bouud B. and M. rattler each afternoon, but our knowledge of him here at school may be summed up in three lines: he loves to alarm the Sheik McKay by subtle suggestions; he adores P. Chem.; and he simply dotes upon research. He ate up his thesis during the first term and at once began wandering around, like a lost soul looking for more theses. Jake is a born chemist. He maintains a private lab. at home — and works there. With his record for sticking to his work while he has been at L. T. S. we expect Jake to make good at the job waiting for him when he gets his degree. Hoch der Jake!

Don ' t crowd, the line forms on the right. Yes, this is Ben McKay all the way from Stoughton, Mass., the home of the Antulonis and McKay clans. Ben and Bill, his soul mate, arrived in Lowell one fine day in the fall of 1922. They registered together, acquired a room together and they lived happily ever after! Ben matriculated in Professor Olney ' s Chem course and at once decided to become a specialist. He specialized in Qualitative Analysis and Mathematics, and we have been informed that Ben intends to continue his work in Qualitative for some years to come. Ben is an unknown quantity to the fair sex of Lowell, that is, they can ' t solve him. He has them all thinking about him, but we can ' t tell you what they are thinking. However, Benny, busy as he has been, found time to contribute to the success of our baseball and basketball teams. He made the baseball team when a Fresh- man and has been playing a good game for our Alma Mater ever since. Last winter he came out for basketball and proved a great help to the team, while this year he has been playing a fine game at center on Captain Kenney ' s team. Ben expects to be with us again next year as he intends to try for the higher degree of B. T. U., which will require an extra year of graduate work for our blonde hero. 05 THE PICKOUT 1926 ' SAM Class Football 1, 2 Executive Council 2 Show 1 SAMUEL MEEKER Lowell, Massachusetts ' meek professor smeeker A. A. T. C. C. 2, 3, 4 PlCKOUT 4 Student Instructor in General Chemistry 4 We hereby present to our readers a cut (nothing personal, Sam) of Mr. Samuel Meeker. • There is a great deal more to Sam than our picture can show. He is a man of parts, as Shakespeare puts it. His habit of doing things right has been recognized by his appointment to an assistant instructor ' s position in the Chem. Lab. under the esteemed Doc Chapin. The inherent philosophy of A thing worth doing at all is worth doing right has stood him in good stead. Sam has the required qualities for the making of a perfect Research AVorker as evidenced by the joy accompanying some new discovery which impels him to song and mystic Sittings about the Lab. on tiptoe, flapping his wings in exactly the same manner as does a — butterfly. Sam has one hobby and that is the collection of reptiles and bugs. We un- derstand also that his great success in administrating the Textile Lunch has led many to proclaim him as an authority on meat. We need a fellow like Sam around to keep us happy, and we are certainly glad he will be here for another year — but we must leave so we can only say Adieu, Sam, and wish all the while, we could stay with Smeeker. 66 THE PICKOUT 1926 JOHN LESLIE MERRILL Lowell, Massachusetts LES ' JOHN LESLIE J.L. A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4 One bright September day in 1922, John Leslie jumped on his trusty Harley and motored to Lowell from the wilds of Middlesex Village. Being a graduate of the Lowell High School, he thought he would continue his education in Lowell and therefore registered at the Massa- chusetts Textile Institute (?). After hearing Herbie Ball ' s line on Why you should take the Engineering Course, he fell for it and has proven himself very capable at the task. One of the points in his character which demands mention is his love for work. In fact he could lay right down and sleep beside it. His favorite course in school was English, he having taken a special four-year course. Of his relation with the fair sex, the writer is not qualified to say, but we have all n oticed that the said J. L. never has his lessons prepared on Thursday morning. But, all joking aside, Les is the kind of a fellow who makes friends with everyone with whom he comes in contact. We do not know what the future has in store for John Leslie, but if honesty and grit have anything to do with it, we stake our all on him, and wish him the very best of luck. 67 THE PICKOUT 1926 LUTHER CHOATE MORRILL Lowell, Massachusetts Football 1, 2 PlCKOUT 2 on LU Orchestra 2 Vice-President Class 1 A. S. M. E. 2 Since Lu first joined us he has shown a lively interest in the activities of our college which has made him popular among his classmates. He started off by appearing for football practice even before Registration Day, and he has been with the team ever since. He has shown a great deal of ability as a quarterback and has brought the stands to their feet many times with a cleverly executed play. His ability to pick the right play and then run it right will be missed next year. Lu seems never to be satisfied unless he has a part in some extra-curriculum activity, and this year it ' s the orchestra that claims his attention. He handles the traps in a way that has been a large factor in the success of our orchestra. Even those who occupy the platform in assemblies get all pepped up watching him. A great desire for variety in means of transportation is one of his characteris- tics. We can ' t remember how many cars he ' s had in two short years, but they have been many and varied, to say the least. Apparently he doesn ' t find the ideal transportation medium among automobiles, however, for Lu is leaving us this year to study aeronautics. Having seen what he has done at Textile, we confidently predict great success for him. 68 THE PICK OUT 1926 ROBERT WILSON PARKIN Maynard, Massachusetts AK$ BOB ' SPUD Class Football 1, 2 Football 3, 4 A.

A story comes from his home town that he can hold his own against ten men when it comes to a potato-eating contest. We believe it ! Bob entered the Engineering Course and despite his love to argue with Wool Profs, is still sticking to his first choice. Knowing his love for argument, the American Railway Express appointed him their night watch dog at the office. The yegg men of Lowell stay away because Bob is always there. At the office Bob has a private phone. The A. R. E. Co. have often wondered why they have calls charged up to them, to a certain college in Maine. Bob believes in writing, he says, A letter a day keeps inquiries away. Too bad for the young belles of Lowell that he is so occupied, because he is quite a knockout. He plays in the school orchestra and sings in the Glee Club. When football season starts he is always there. On his two years on the varsity he has proven himself a great player. Bob is one of the most conscientious workers in L. T. S. He is an asset to us and we are sorry that he will leave us. Good luck, Bob; and the entire school bids you farewell with the sincerest wish for a prosperous future. 69 THE PICK OUT 1926 HALVAR ALFRED PETERSON Waltham, Massachusetts on pete hub svenska Class Football 1 Football 2, 3 Pete ticks up from the famous Watch City each morning in his Ford Chicken Holder, but it is really surprising what little effect living in the town where watches grow has upon Hub ' s . punctuality, but having a drag with Ruthie helps a lot. During the school term Svenska helps Eddie Barker out on any problem which is too deep for The Czar of the Animal Fibre. The summer months, however, will find Hub industriously coaxing a half dozen onion shoots to grow in a field of weeds. Pete is a football player of no mean ability, having held down a tackle position during the last two years. He generally carries some part of his anatomy in a sling during the football season, but is game and goes back for more — and usually gets it. We really don ' t know much about the social affairs of these commuters, but if we owned a Ford, we ' re inclined to think we ' d be thankful Fords are dumb. Well, Pete, we know you ' re going to crash right into this cruel, cruel world and emerge smiling, so we just wish you luck. 70 THE PICKOUT 19 20 LESLIE CAP RON REDDING Wbonsocket, Rhode Island on les red greek honyok dimples ' Class Football 1 Football 2 Here ' s our contract for a hundred thousand pounds of Ohio Delaine, Mr. Redding. That is exactly what brought Red amongst us, for he was told he could train himself to hear just that from prospective buyers of the future, if he only came and entered the domains of Eddie. It is well known that Red intends to concentrate his future activities in the wool market. During the three years which Red spent here, he was repeatedly on the verge of entering a special course, but Eddie ' s wisdom has kept him in the fold. The weather has been tough at certain times, but he managed to stay with us, by luck and his ability to argue with some members of Her- bie ' s staff. This boy from the worsted town just loves to get into arguments and be contrary. Many a bull session has had his strong support. Les has shown his grit on the gridiron and many of his opponents have had a hard time with him at tackle. His loss will be keenly felt next season. Red was up here three years, but would you be surprised if we told you that he hardly knows what it is to spend the week-end in town, for it seems that Lowell ' s fair daughters have not been able to infatuate our hero from Little Rhody. There ' s a reason! His visits to the old home town have another object besides increasing the railroad company ' s treasury. We don ' t think it necessary to allow you three guesses as to ivho the reason might be. We are sorry some of our far-famed scientists have not been able to find an alloy which can resist the heat of what we want to tell you about this Greek for it would melt the type. Hot Stuff!! The gang is watching you, Red, and is wishing to see you soon on Summer Street, Boston. Good luck. 71 THE PICKOUT 1926 EHRICH ERNEST MAX SCHREITER Walpole, Massachusetts y.m.c.a hay-fever count A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4 Membership Officer A. S. M. E. 4 Ehrich drifted into Lowell in the latter part of September, 1922. He rode in from Walpole via the B. and M. and since that time he has traversed the old Eisenbaum so often that he knows - exactly how many sections of track there are between Lowell and Walpole. Perhaps that is due to his Engineering ability because Max is certainly an Engineer. No one knows what prompts these regular weekly excursions to his home town, but some who have seen the deco- rations both on his bureau and on his desk wonder why he doesn ' t commute daily. If John Wesley hadn ' t lived Ehrich Von Schreiter would certainly have founded Methodism, as every move he makes is pre-deter mined. He is so systematic that the young lady at the ticket window of B. F. Keith ' s holds two seats in Center B for our hero every Monday night until 8.00 o ' clock, without a standing order from him. During his four years at L. T. S., Ehrich has missed only a few times. On one or two occasions the matter of tension in Spinning Cotton yarns has been so great that it demanded his time, thence the absences. We have always found Ehrich to be quiet, studious, conscientious, happy, and above all a good scout. If he continues to apply himself in the business world as he has here at college, the Count is sure to be an asset to any company which employs him. 72 THE PICK OUT 1926 WILLIAM MARTIN SIMPSON, Jr. Maiden, Massachusetts MARTY Class Football 1, 2, 3 Swimming Team 1, 2 Pickout 2, 3 Text 2, 3 Back in 1922 Marty managed to sit through Charlie ' s opening speech, then learn just how hard pavement feels on stockinged feet as well as learn a little about the topography of Lowell. Since that time he has learned much from Eddie Barker, having devoted four years — off and on — as a special special student in the Wool Course. Marty was instrumental in forming Textile ' s first swimming team and due largely to his energies in this direction the students of this institution were given a new sport. He was one of the main point-getters in the two years the swimming team performed. He was also there when any social event was to be put over and worked whole-heartedly for the success of all activities with which he was connected. We know that Marty will be a success in whatever field he may enter and hope sometime to renew our acquaintance with him. 73 THE PICKOUT 1926 ALFRED FRANCIS SLAMIN Wellesley, Massachusetts AK$ al scrappy Basketball 2 Class Football 1, 2 In the quaint little hamlet of Wellesley some twenty-one years ago there was a great commotion. Fire bells were ringing, whistles were blowing and Patrick Slamin was seen beating a dish-pan in order to increase the din. This great racket was made to show to the world, and the Wellesley College girls, that our great Alfred (Scrappy) had arrived. The years passed quickly and on September twenty-eighth, in the year of our Lord nineteen- hundred twenty-three, Alfred was found roaming about the Boston and Maine depot with his carpet bag over his shoulder, and was quickly ushered to the portals of the Lowell Textile School for three years of hard study. During his stay in Lowell he has become a proficient cotton man under the able and competent direction of Prof. Steve Smith, and during his last year he has shown ability in weaving with Professor Hoellrich. His specialty seems to be the removal of D ' s in weaving, but he should worry, as his father thinks the D means Dandy on his report card. During the second year of his career at Lowell Textile Al decided to try out for basketball and made the team with no effort whatsoever. He showed such great speed and ability as a player that it was necessary for him to drop out of the team in his last year, for there was no man in the world that could follow him. Pep is Scrappy ' s middle name and he takes great pleasure in boasting about it. We do not know what Al ' s plans are for the future, but his Dad tells us he started this life as a howling success. His ability to make friends assures us of his success, so, go to it, old boy, and we will all back you up and wish you luck in all your further undertakings. 74 THE PICKOUT 19 26 ALLEN BATTERMAN SMITH Winchester, Massachusetts on abie smith griper schmidt no trump rabbitt ' al Football 2, 3 After completing a four-year course in a half year at Harvard, Smith, having Eskimo blood in his veins, decided to travel north instead of jour- neying to the sunny South. Al ' s train arrived in the dirty city late, and since then he has been a late-comer to all of his classes. The only time he is prompt is on his Wednesday evening clandestines with a girl friend in a far distant spot. His social prominence was evidenced by the never-to-be-forgotten manner with which he conducted the introductions at the Senior Hop. Playing stellar football the first half of the season, No Trump had the misfortune to break his collar bone. He underwent a very delicate operation, and after much suffering and loss of Professor Judd ' s Math., Schmidt was reimbursed to the small sum of $5,000, by Cush, with the compliments of the A. A. Although Al ' s injury kept him from earning the coveted T, he was the recipient of first prize in the great Spanish pastime. When it comes to etiquette and the use of proper language, Smith is the book itself — ask any of the boys who were obliged to sit at the same table with him. Al is Steve ' s right hand man — without him the cotton laboratory would be a complete failure. Besides taking the cotton course at day school, Rabbit broadened his knowledge by pursuing the wool course at evening school. To prove he is ambitious, Smith is to study in England after receiving his sheepskin from L. T. S. Al is very conscientious and with his pleasing personality and his well-groomed appearance, he should be a success in anything he undertakes. We all know that A. B. will attain a high mark of distinction in the textile industry and we wish him all kinds of luck. We know him now, as Griper, but it will not be long before he is known as A. Batterman Smith, Agent. 75 THE PICKOUT 1926 WILLIAM CHARLES SMITH Chadwicks, New York on bill red griper Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Executive Council 2, 4 Vice-President Executive Council 4 Local Research Council 4 w.c. Class President 2, 4 President A. A. T. C. C. 4 A. A. T. C. C. C, 3, 4 PlCKOUT 3, 4 Editor-in-Chief Pickout 4 Bill decided back in 1922 that Lowell Textile was the place for him to learn the intricacies of Chemistry, so he silently slipped into Southwick Hall and proceeded to show us how it should be done. In four years he has become well known and liked by , his classmates, although his lack of devotion to research has displeasd the mentors of the Chemistry Department. Perhaps his interest in other activities has been the reason for his seeming indifference to problems requiring re- searchful application. Bill has taken an active interest in athletics during his four years here. Although he has never turned in any performances that would set the world afire, he has been on the football and basket- ball varsities for four years and has worked con- sistently for their. success. As the above list shows, Bill made no small success of his college life, and this book which you are now enjoying is the masterpiece of his student activities. He is liked and admired by both the faculty and the student body, who know he will be as great a gentleman in the business world as he has been in college. 76 THE PICKOUT 19 2 6 JOHN GEORGE ST ASS Lisbon Falls, Maine DOC STASS With the impetus of a six-piece brass band (the other two inhabitants aren ' t musical) Doc dropped into our midst and proceeded to absorb Eddie Barker ' s lectures on sheep hair. Finding that Ruthie was quite lenient and rather inclined toward playing Santa Claus in the matter of marks, he immediately signed up with the Com- modore management as an advanced instructor. The ladies hereabouts liked his brand of steps so his success as a social lion was assured. His beautiful blond locks proved to be the entrance key to friendships and many will be sorry to see this boy go back to the place from whence he came. However, he will not go back unsung, and we should not be surprised to see tears shed at the time of his departure. Truly he will leave us with our best wishes for his success ringin in his ears. 77 THE PICKOUT 1926 FRED WILLIAM STUR LEVANT Lowell, Massachusetts on sturdy fred sturt A. A. T. C. C. 2, 3, 4 Local Research Council When we first saw Fred, in those far-off days when we were Freshmen, his length was the char- acteristic which distinguished him. As we began to know him better, we discovered other things that set him apart from the rest of us chemists. He showed speed that was almost uncanny, not only in the labs but also with that green car of his. He believes that when he ' s going places he • ought to go and get it over with and when he ' s doing things he does them with the same speed and accuracy. That ' s why he has been on the President ' s List since it was first published, and that also explains the Chemistry prize he won and the high marks he ' s had. Neither that nor any- thing else, however, can explain why he once had to take a re-exam in Dye-Lab. Don ' t think, though, that he is one of these bookworms or grinds, for he ' s always ready to walk out with the other researchf ul young men to take a few puffs, in fact he ' s frequently ahead of the rest of us, just as in everything else. He ' s about fifteen years ahead of us as far as acquaintances in Lowell are concerned, and this means much more than may appear to the casual observer, for it gives him a great advantage. He doesn ' t monopolize this advantage, however, for with characteristic generosity he is ready to share his girl friends with us or find someone for us to drag. Squareness, generosity, and a lot of real ability are the characteristics which we have found in Fred, and these traits mike his friendship something worth s triving for. When he leaves us there will be a great vacancy to fill, for in four years he has done more odd jobs for all of us and given us more assistance than any other ten fellows we know of. By his readiness and ability to help out at any time with any- thing he has accomplished wonders, for there are innumerable successful projects which would have failed had it not been for his aid, although he seldom appears in the credit list. The characteristics Fred has shown insure his success when he leaves our Alma Mater, separated from us, but never to be forgotten. 78 THE PICKOUT 1 9 2 6 RICHARD JOSEPH S U L L I V A N Groton, Massachusetts RICH DICK SULLY In the fall of the year 1922, a tall, lanky boy arrived at the Lowell Textile School from the wilds of the big town of Pepperell. This lad was none other than our boy Richard, who had decided to learn all about the Wool game. Sully as he was quickly named, immediately took up his studies. He became interested, especially in Mathematics and Mechanism. How- ever, he could not get enough of these two subjects in one year, so decided to take a four-year course in them. Sully also liked a little recreation and one often found him enjoying himself at some party or at the Commodore. Although he does not seem to pay much attention to the weaker sex, it has been rumored that he is quite a Sir Walter Raleigh when it comes to helping the fair damsels across mud puddles. While Sully has been with us he has changed his home residence to Groton, but we often notice that he still goes back to Pepperell. We wonder why! During the summer Sully has taken up the art of house-painting and has be- come quite proficient in it. He also is an artist in the use of that weed called Tobacco. Sully, you have made many friends here at L. T. S., and as you go out into the business world, we wish you the greatest of success. 79 THE PICK OUT 1926 CHARLES BAIRD TEAGUE Somerville, Massachusetts CHILE Class Football 1, 2 IRON MAN Oil CHARLES XAVIER ' CHARLIE Football 4 Charlie, showing the general trend of the Somerville lads enrolled in Eddie ' s course in sheep raising. In spite of the arduous task of learning the difference between a mohair vest and a piece of half-wool raincoating, he managed to major in Jimmie Dow ' s English course, learning via the correspondence course route, Sanskrit — the peer of all dead languages. Chile is of the Viking type and earned the monniker of Iron Man as well as a steel wool overcoat, by taking Joe Stecher in a time-limit match on the Commodore steps, 11 to 7 falls, so you see he is a natural wrestler. Besides this, Charlie has been an aspirant for the football team during all of his stay at L. T. S. Charles Xavier modestly disclaims any right to the title Sheik but we know positively that he steps occasionally if not oftener and that if no hearts have been broken there are some which are badly bent and twisted. And now that School Days are coming to a close we all bid the blond boy a hearty farewell with best wishes for success. 80 THE PICKOUT 1926 WILLIAM HENRY VINCENT Hyde Park, Massachusetts $ IF BILL A quiet lad strolled through the portals of the Lowell Textile School one autumn day ' way back in 1923. He had heard of the demon designer, HeinieBachmann,even in Hyde Park, and answered the call to this famous course. Since then he has stuck to this vocation and has made a big success of it in every way, for his scholastic record is among the very best. His stay in Lowell has been confined to his home on Westford Street and the school, although he has been known to play it cozy and attends a few dances in his spare time. His modest, retiring manner could not always save him and he was caught red handed at the Highland Club and the Commodore several times. Bill prepared for Textile at the Boston School of Commerce, and he still retains his business-like methods. No doubt these same methods will continue to serve after he leaves school in June and he will continue his success. We have found him a staunch friend and an amiable companion and we wish him all good luck as he leaves us for new fields. 81 THE PICK OUT 1926 ALFRED MAXWELL WIESNER Manchester, New Hampshire on : sheik rudie buster pustoo bamboona al ' PRINCE OF HEIDELBERG Class Football 1 Baseball 1 Rudie arrived at Textile two short years ago, coming from the Seven Twenty-Four city. He started in by changing his course to a special and presenting Mr. Dow with a cabbage with the compliments of the class. Al and Heine soon became great pals since they both eat at Jake Wirth ' s when they go to Boston. It was not long before everyone at school knew Pustoo by one of his names, for he is one that can make friends easily. One of his best friends he met early and liked him so well that he remained his tried and true friend. Al was seen with this friend at the Centennial Ball, Fuyat, Commodore, and many other places. Bam is known as a heart- breaker all over the country, or rather from Sharon north. Once a year he picks out a town in New England in some remote spot, where he thinks he will have some competition from the small town lads, then finds a girl and proceeds to break hearts and raise havoc in chosen small town. When he cannot eat, when he disappears nights, when he sits down to his desk to write (letters) you know that something is pleasing him, so Cherchez la Femme. Buster originated the Pustoo fire department. As soon as an alarm rang he and his trusted men could be seen speeding to the fire, many times beating the chief and department. On these trips in his apparatus he found many dark side roads which later became useful to him(?). Although Al is never serious and never likes to work, everyone knows that when he settles down to work, he will put his whole heart and soul into it and will work like an Aspirin Tree grows. Here ' s to Al ' s success which we know he will have, so Glory be to Heinz ' s Pickles. 82 THE PICKOUT 1926 ANDREW HARPER WYATT Fitchburg, Massachusetts on hap happy Class Basketball 1, 2 In 1923 Hap decided that Fitchburg was not the city in which he wanted to obtain knowl- edge, so he came to Lowell. He entered L. T. S. to learn all about wool. Not being satisfied with Eddie Barker ' s course, he took the course in designing. After a year of this, he thought that he could obtain more knowledge by taking a special course in designing. Jacquard designing was his hobby, until one day, on his way to the Jacquard design class, he broke his pencil. The other Jacquard student, Wiesner, had lost his pencil. They decided to cut the class, and from then on the class was discontinued, because Hap ' s pencil was never sharpened, and Wiesner has never found his. Happy was a very popular fellow in Lowell, especially among the girls. He knew most of the streets in Lowell, as well as the fire alarm boxes and dance halls. One of Happy ' s motives, was to keep the old friends with the new, so at the end of each week, he would make a call in Fitchburg, even if it was only for an hour or two. Hap thought that he might travel some day, so, while in Lowell, he saw an opportunity to learn many languages, and what pleased him most of all, was that he would not have to study them from books, and be bored by taking those beautiful things they call exams. If he could only remain in Lowell a few more years, instead of being a designer he would be holding Professor Cushing ' s position, and teaching many languages. Hap has always been a live wire in the Design Department, with his many original, witty remarks, and many jokes. Times were never dull when Hap was around. It has indeed been a pleasure to us all to have known this man from Fitchburg. W r e all wish you the best of luck, Hap, and we know that you will be a credit to our Alma Mater. 83 T HE PICKOUT 19 26 LEVON M A R D R O I S YACUBIAN Somerville, Massachusetts on YAC YACABIN LEVEY Football 2, 3 Class Football 1 Pickout 2, 3, 4 Class Treasurer 3 Business Manager Pickout 4 Musical Clubs 4 Executive Council 4 Interfraternity Council 4 Since there is a well-beaten trail from Somer- ville to the gates of Southwick Hall, it was only natural for Yac to come to Textile. He started out to become an engineer but the traditions of the Somerville bunch continued to influence him so that he deserted Herbie to enter Eddie ' s fold. Here Yac learned about wool so well that he now frequently lends a helping hand to those who are still worrying over soap and back stood Wool alone was not enough to hold Yac ' s interest. He went out for football and developed into a great fullback, until he tackled a man so hard that his bad shoulder was ruined completely. English and Physics also detracted some of Yac ' s attention from the Wool course, but without his knowledge of these subjects he would probably have been unable to picture so dramatically his thirty-minute ride from Newbury - port to the Hotel Brunswick, and he certainly could not have held us spellbound with tales of looping it unless he had had this training. We like the way Yac looks us in the eye and says what he thinks and his ability to put all he ' s got into everything he does means success for him. He has made a great many friends at Textile and he leaves with hearty good wishes from all of them. si Canbibatesi for Begreetf NAME Baker, Franz Evron Brosnan, William Francis Buchan, Norman Spaulding Chase, Robert Wentworth Cote, Theodore Charles Godfrey, Harold Thomas Joy, Thomas Kennedy, Francis Charles Kuo, Limao McKay, Benedict Josephus Mason, Philip Edwin Mazer, Samuel Meeker, Samuel Parkin, Robert W.

Wingate, Jr. Richard M. Sawyer Bernhardt Glickman John F. Shea President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Executive Council 88 tEJje Junior Class; Visitor? There is history in all men ' s lives. Our history dates back to a day never to be forgotten by the members of the Class of 1927, September twenty -fourth, nine- teen hundred twenty -three. On this eventful day we embarked on our college career, of which we have already seen three years. It is not easy for us to forget that first day full of its trials and tribulations. The first task set before us was registration, which was completed with some difficulty. We were then set upon by the Sophomores, who gave us our first real experience in college life. They assembled us in the oval and, after forcing us to remove our shoes, which were then tied together and thrown into a wheelbarrow, we were formed in single file. In this fashion we were paraded down the main drag. The Juniors were continually trying to spoil the parade, but without avail, because our feet were not used to pavements and the paddles carried by the Sophs were in too great an abundance. We were constantly harassed by flying missiles, such as tomatoes and an occasional fish. Finally we reached the square where some of those more gifted members in our midst gave orations. After more horse-play we scrambled for our shoes and were allowed to go home in peace, or pieces. On the following day classes commenced. The first hour was given to President Eames, who welcomed us to L. T. S. and expressed his opinion that much more was to be learned at the institution than at the local theaters. We heard but heeded not. During the first week we were sold caps and rules. These were merely a means of enriching the coffers of the Sophomore treasury, for they meant little to us and were soon forgotten. We were not long to realize that it was our duty to change the numerals of our enemies in the river bed. These numerals were changed many times, but finally victory was ours. For our seeming disrespect the Sophs took three of us on long, beautiful rides into the country, from which we returned on Shank ' s Mare. It was not long before we were brought together as a class for the purpose of organization. The name of a temporary president was drawn from a hat containing the names of the whole class. Perk McGuire was our first leader. It was his duty to put over a Freshman Banquet and to organize a football team. The football team was organized and coached by Doc Noyes. A week of hard practice put the team in shape to meet the Sophs. In the game we were defeated 18-0. While the game was going on the banquet committee was arranging thing ' s for a banquet that evening. Bill Smith, president of the Sophomore Class, was kidnapped when on his way to the office to answer a forged note. He was taken to the scene of the banquet where he was handcuffed to the radiator. Perk McGuire was also taken prisoner 89 THE PICKOUT 1926 by the Sophs while they were out searching for Bill. Plans went on, however, and soon Freshmen began to arrive through every possible entrance and exit. The banquet commenced at seven and everything was going on serenely until the banquet hall was discovered by the Sophs. A fight ensued, during which a riot call was given and the Sophs dispersed and the policemen ate heavily at our expense. After the courses, speeches were given by our guests, President Eames, Professor Ball, and James Guthrie Dow. An exchange of presidents followed, after which came the election of officers. The result of the election was: E. Perkins McGuire, president; Charles Fredrickson, vice-president; Hargreaves Heap, Jr., secretary; and Edward Wingate, treasurer. A snake dance followed in celebration of our victory; this brought about another riot call, and we were dispersed. Our first victory was followed by a second which came Textile Night at the Y. M.C.A.,whenwe beat the Sophomores at basketball. The final score was 26 to 16. Interclass games and feeling ceased with Textile Night, and everybody turned his nose to his books to prepare for the mid-year examinations. Midyears came, which meant success for some; failure for others. In the spring athletic and dramatic talents were brought out in our class. Red Kenney and Hank Burke brought honor to our class on the baseball diamond. Harry Jones, Angus MacKenzie, and Larry Guild showed their worth in the annual play while others of the class had active part in the manage- ment. Near the close of school a class meeting was held for the purpose of electing the officers for the following year. We chose as our leader Ev. Skinner. The other officers were: George Leavitt, vice-president; Red Kenney, treasurer; Edward Wingate, secretary, and Joe Lussier, executive council representative. Final examinations terminated our first year in college. There was hand- shaking all around. Friendships had been made that could never be forgotten, some to go on, while separate, others to be renewed the following year. Vacation soon passed and we were back at Textile. This year we were to be the tormenters of the innocent Freshmen, and we were determined to correct the faults we had seen in the Sophomore Class of the previous year. On registration day we avenged ourselves in good measure. But hazing proved more difficult than we had anticipated, so a Thirteen Club was organized in order to punish those of the baby class who were not of enough intelligence to obey the commands of their superiors. This year our class set a precedent by keeping our numerals on the river bed unchanged throughout the year. Our class was well represented this year on the gridiron by Skinner, Bentley, Gladwin, Guild, Peterson, Redding, Lussier, Connorton, Musgrave and Al Smith. At interclass football we were victorious, defeating the Frosh 6-0, Jerry 90 THE PICKOUT 1926 Franks starring by recovering a fumble and scoring a touchdown during the first half of the game. The Freshmen duplicated our success in holding their annual banquet. Ev Skinner was kidnapped after football practice one night, despite warnings we had given him. A search revealed the scene of the banquet in Grafton Hall. We were outnumbered by the police present, so the Frosh were allowed to eat in peace. Textile Night brought success again to the class, when we defeated the baby class in basketball. On the basketball court we were represented by Captain Kenney, Burke, Gol- denberg, and John Slack. The value of these men was in evidence in all the games. Their loss would have been a keen one to Textile. With spring our class gathered in more honors on the diamond and in the play. This year Angus MacKenzie took the leading role and played his part well. Dave Ryan, Larry Guild, John Shea, and Ed Bullard were also members of the cast, and their work cannot be forgotten. In basketball Red Kenney and Hank Burke were still in the limelight. Norm McKinnon made the regular squad and his ability was a great asset to the teams. It seemed as though Time had wings, for finals were upon us before we knew it, and with them came the end of our Sophomore year. College friends parted once more for the summer recess. When registration day returned again the original class broke into Seniors and Juniors, so that is the history of men who have chosen the degree courses, and there is none in our midst who is sorry, or who is willing to admit that a Junior is not just about right. The usual antics of the two lower classes did not hold the interest there was before, and after the annual parade we settled down to hard study. Our class was now smaller in number than all other classes, but yet the class was well represented on the gridiron. Those whose honor is ours were McKinnon, McGuire, Shea, Guild, and Manager Bullard. The officers who lead our class this year are Norman McKinnon, president; Edward Wingate, vice-president; Bernhardt Glickman, treasurer; Richard Sawyer, secretary, and John Shea, executive council representative. Textile Night our members performed in many activities, but not as a class. With midyears over we are looking forward to our Senior year when we will have the respect that is due a class that has such spirit and courage as ours, the Class of 1927. 91 -Q S-. oS Q JJ ' 5 s aj M V CS H ri 2 •° ' S as O 53 a. r - c S O CB B co anks, Shea, fa c Qj £ Far] IcK „ s u -o a 3 aJ ■m 2 S cc rt ) ' -A ?.

Corbett £ fftcerg of 1928 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Executive Council 96 History of tfje i£ opi)omore Class! September twenty -ninth, nineteen hundred twenty -four. The moment of our life had come. We were entering the gates of a college! How big and powerful we felt as we struggled with the schedule and finally scrawled our John Hancock across the card and straightened up with a poise of a man to hand the card to the Registar! We were enrolled as students of Lowell Textile! How small we felt as the self-confident Sophomores gruffly and emphatically conducted us to the assembly hall! We huddled together in groups of wondering Freshmen. What was to happen next? A tall and dignified gentleman approached the platform and immediately we found a friend. His smile emphasized his words of welcome and good cheer. How big we felt as the President of the school spoke to us on our first day at college! He has always proved a friend to our class and we toast him as representing the true spirit of Textile. Again we felt very small as we formed a parade around the gravel oval. Bare feet, rolled trouser legs, shirts out, coats reversed, we surely were the picture of un- willing Freshmen. Some of our members were appointed official wheelbarrow pushers, while the rest of us had to be content with an orator ' s or soloist ' s rank. The march to the Square was the occasion of our first outbreak against Sophomore rule. At the Juniors ' bidding many of us broke the lockstep and ran for freedom. How unwise we were ! The Sophomores certainly could swing a mean paddle ! Yes, we had no bananas, but we had plenty of ripe tomatoes. We reached the Square and were formally introduced to Page ' s Clock, the official timepiece of Textile. Of course it was only natural for some of us to ascend the clock and cheer for the Sophomores and thank them for their emphatic welcome. Shoes, shoes, shoes, all over the square and in the mud. We should have worn rubber-boots. The next day we stalled the serious work by attending our classes. We met the instructors and learned the location of the various labs, lecture halls, study rooms, rest rooms (?), store, and lastly the thing we all jumped for, the lunch room. As we reached home the second night of our college life we thought it all over, and between puffs (there were no Sophs around) started to plan the welcome for the next Freshmen. A few nights later the Terrible Three got a jump on the Sophs by changing the numerals on the historic river rocks. The usual battle of changing numerals ensued for a few days until both classes grew weary of the jump to the middle of the river. The Sophomores decided they wanted organized opposition, so they elected the paper-in-the-hat method of selection of officers for our class. Feinburg and Perry were thus appointed as president and vice-president. These boys got together 97 THE PICKOUT 1926 and decided we needed revenge for our thirsty hearts. The banquet was planned and methods of capturing the Sophomore president were discussed. The officers, assisted by Adams, Harper and Morrill, did a good job. The banquet was a success. Good eats, guests, including Skinner, excitement, fun, the snake dance, all made up the end of Sophomore rule. We showed that we could give a good account of ourselves when we played the interclass football and basketball games. We lost both times, but we went down fighting. In fact we made a good showing all the year. The Class of twenty -eight held honors in scholastics, put athletes on the various teams, and was represented in every function and organization. The officers that helped make the class what it is were John Harper, president; Luther Morrill, vice-president; James Corbett, treasurer; Lawrence Savage, secretary; Frank Bastow, sargeant-at-arms. The Class of twenty -eight made an impression of loyalty and fellowship all during its hard, first year at Textile. After the vacation we were back, entering the portals as Sophomores. How big and sophisticated we felt as we ordered the Freshmen around ! Well we remem- bered our first day and we made the present Freshmen remember theirs. Registration was followed by the march to the Square. The usual speeches, tomatoes, breaks in the line, fish, songs, orations, all were present. We stuck to- gether and showed our superiority over the Freshmen. We showed them the various parts of Lowell and let them wal k back to study all they saw. The Thirteen Club was organized to issue rules and caps and to enforce the rules. The class was organized and the following officers elected: Richard Burtt, president; James Corbett, vice-president; Larry Gottschalck, secretary; Harold A. Noyes, treasurer, and Frank Bastow, sergeant-at-arms. The officers have served us well and deserve praise for their efforts. We won over the Freshmen in the class games and proved to them beyond a doubt that our superiority was well grounded. Even to this day the rocks read: Long live twenty -eight ; twenty-eight forever! The Freshmen stole a march on us and the night of the Text social at the Opera House they held their banquet. They chose a night when Freshmen rules were off, and aided by Professor Dow and his Essex, enticed our president from his home. They won physically, but lost morally. In this, our second year at Textile, the Class of twenty-eight has shown its worth. Well represented in athletics, organizations, councils, and most important, on the honor roll, we have proven our worth. We have shown strength and fitness by going through the mid-year exams as a class. May the record of twenty -eight continue to be deserving of praise and good wishes ! 98 OJ 60 C« CO o CO s c o .

Plere the fighting spirit of the class quickly came to life. After acquiring knowledge about the Freshman Parade through the worthy pages of the Text which had been passed out to us, a silent decision was made not to be the goats of the forthcoming event! Some Sophs guarding the doors, allowed a few Juniors to pass into the room. These men elected themselves our leaders and on a signal from one of their number we gave the Sophs the bum ' s rush. All but twenty or less of the class escaped. These recaptured men formed the small Freshman Parade of 1925. They were marched to the court-yard ; relieved of their footwear which was placed in a wheelbarrow that was to lead the parade, and in a long column with coats inside out and trousers rolled, walked to the square. Here, covered with fruit which came out of no place at all with a smart smack, and sore from impressing paddles, some of our number climbed Page ' s clock and tried selling the Square to the au- dience. Other stunts followed, after which our shoes were dumped in the street and we were told by the kind Sophs that we could beat it upon receiving our footwear. Tuesday, September 29, 1925 The class met for its first lecture in the Chemistry lecture room where President Fames welcomed us to Textile in a short address. This welcome was a great deal more pleasing to us than the Sophomore welcome of the previous day. The after- noon saw us purchasing Frosh hats of various colors, plus a bulletin of rules which we were informed were not to be disregarded until midyears. These rules, we hope, are the only ones we have broken this year, but we certainly did a good job on breaking them. But wait! The Sophs were not to be trifled with. Wednesday, September 30, 1925 Whispers ran through the class that the Sophs, intending to enlarge some of the Freshmen ' s geographical knowledge of the country surrounding Lowell, had taken some of our classmates touring in trucks between the hours of twelve and one a.m., and had upon their return trip forgotten their guests. Friday, October 2, 1926 Co-eds entered the class. Never before had bobbed hair entered our midst. 105 THE PICKOUT 1926 We inspected the eo-eds closer to find that they were not co-eds at all, but some of our number whom the Sophs wished to save the price of a hair cut. Thursday, October 8, 1925 The first class meeting was held secretly under the cover of a chemistry lecture, in order to elect temporary officers and arrange for our banquet. Friday, October 9, 1925 A Freshman meeting under Sophomore rule held to elect a Soph-Frosh leader from our class. The Sophomore president emphasized the fact that we should live up to the Freshman rules. Monday, October 19, 1925 At 5.15 Acting President Coffey opened the Freshman Banquet by introducing President Charles H. Eames, who spoke an introductory address to the class. We could see no Sophs around with the exception of one abject mortal, known as their president, who sat subdued, balancing a Freshman cap on his head. The class officers elected were: Dan Coffey, president; Perley Hamlin, vice- president; Jack Fairweather, secretary; Roger Marble, treasurer; Simon de Jong, sergeant-at-arms. The banquet proceeded unmolested and broke up in time to allow the boys to attend Tex night at the Opera House. The Freshmen went down in defeat in the Sophomore-Freshman football game to the tune of 26-0. The Frosh players worked hard, but inexperience and lack of teamwork showed throughout the game. Monday, December 11 ., 1925 The Class of ' 29 put over their first social in great style. A large crowd attended and even the Sophs had a good time. Thursday, December 17, 1925 The Freshman -Sophomore basketball game counted a second victory for the Sophs. The Twenty-niners went down to defeat in the gym with a score of 15-10 against them. February 12, 1926 The Freshman Text was published today and the class showed it was made of real stuff. A great deal of credit goes to Editor Shrigley and Business Manager Robbins. Midyears are over and the class has proven itself well up in academics. In football three classmen wear the T; the basketball score board shows two Fresh- men in the regular lineup, and the Glee Club holds a majority of the proud members of 1929 with two members in the Orchestra. 10(5 co O 45 CD CO cs s- 3 CD fa fa fa u „ ' CD CO CD 3 pi N ctf v N « -s 3 N -t- es CQ § co ■ tf 0! s  l 4) « S- ; S ■ O s £ o CO J- CD o w PQ a a; a cd a o to CD ' 2 co ■r t- be ? ■ 03 .9 o3 fa Q i m T3 3 CD s se aJ 15 o -d CO cj O) N - s CD _3 cd ■ - u a o as CD s 3 in t- o r 5 fa a s o co o fa To 55 60 3 o 1-5 C3 m fa cd M cj CD -3 S a s s «3 o ■+J — ca o a ns J5 s .2 s a fa fa co „ 2 (fa c -o ' co eg CD a O 0 — - § CD fa Kfj „ fa _r a in Ctj cd - ' 3 60 CD T3 3 O ' 5b ' 00 CO C3 oT £ § B CO CD o o a, 0 fa. fa o fa ri a S „ KJf c a s ■ F- co o cs ■ h— 1 O _ (- 4J CS ■ fa ° .. 3 CD  6£ CO .CO S fa. o CD CD CO CD s S CV CO 4 r.

When the team ' s past is viewed from the number of defeats, perhaps this is not quite clear; however, from the standpoint of good sportsmanship and unconquerable spirit, its record is one of which the school may be proud. Every game played was against a larger college; colleges that devoted more time to football and had ra M Ml—l llllillll | b e tter equipment and more plentiful facilities for turning out highly efficient teams. Our team, handi- capped by lack of material, lack of correct training regulations, and especially by lack of time for practice, so necessary for an effective team, was indeed successful in obtaining the results it has. By showing such fine spirit in spite of the difficulties they faced, in never letting up even when they knew they were losing, and above all, by going out game after game determined to give the best they had for the college, the team certainly has won a great victory. We cannot give too much praise to Captain Brosnan and Coach Cawley for the way in which they have led and inspired the team. To Faculty Director, Professor dishing, great credit is due for the way in which he has supervised football, bringing it, during his time, from school calibre into the college class. pates! College Textile lost the first game of the 1925 season on September 26th, when Bates College defeated us after a hard-fought game by the score of 10-0. The score is a fair indication of the difference between the two teams. The well-drilled Bates eleven had the necessary punch to score when the opportunity was presented. Textile ' s chances were on both occasions spoiled, due to fumbling. Walker ' s splendid punting and Guild ' s consistent ground-gaining were the outstanding features of the game. £ L fflitfyatV College On October 3rd, Textile reversed the tables of the opening game by winning from the St. Michael ' s team. The game was played during a steady rain, and with plenty of water underfoot, the ball was increasingly difficult to hold. However, Textile seemed more able to retain the ball and fewer fumbles were witnessed than 115 THE PICKOUT 19 2 6 in the preceding game. Textile ' s first score came in the second quarter after con- stant gaining by Battles and Walker had placed the ball on the 10-yard line, Walker going through centre for the six points. In the next quarter St. Michael ' s evened things up with a touchdown scored on a pass from Bushey to Beinait, after a steady march down the field. Textile ' s last and winning score came in the last quarter when Fredrickson carried the ball over the line just before the final whistle. bobe Manb Matt College The first trip away resulted in a 12-0 defeat for Textile, administered by R. I. State. The score, however, is not a fair representation of the relative strength of the two teams. Rhode Island ' s two touchdowns were the result of untimely breaks against Textile, the ball, in fact, being in the enemy ' s territory during most of the game. Walker ' s kicking was again the outstanding part of the game, supplemented by long gains by Corbett and Fredrickson. Colbp College Colby College journeyed to Lowell on October 17th with an exceptionally good team, a team more powerful in every respect than any other team we had met this year. Although the Colby score was large, our team did excellent work in holding them in the manner they did. Because of the expected extra large crowd, the game was played at Spaulding Park. The work of Corbett, and especially that of Coffey, is worthy of high praise, both these men starring for Textile from start to finish. For Colby, Drummond and Erickson were the chief factors in the victory. Jgortotci) UniberSttp The second trip of the season was to Northfield, Vermont, the home of Norwich University. The game was one of the best and hardest-fought of the year. The result was in doubt throughout. The penalty which nullified Walker ' s 85-yard run from a trick play from a kick-off, gave us the ball very near our own goal line, and a blocked punt spoiled our chance to win. McGuire ' s fine work at fullback was an outstanding feature. Jflas acfjusiettsi institute of ecftnologp Textile lost to the M. I. T. team in a closely contested game, played on the Textile campus, by a score of 6-0. Although Tech had a well drilled and well balanced team, which played a fast and hard-fighting game, their only score was the 116 T H EPIC K OUT 192 6 result of a blocked kick on the 3-yard line. Previous predictions had been in favor of the Textile team, and a defeat was most unexpected. However, poor football and several costly fumbles placed the ball in the position from which M. I. T. was able to secure its lone touchdown. The game was interesting, though erratic; large gains were made and lost by the frequency of intercepted passes. The playing of Captain Brosnan, Keach, and Walker for Textile, and Wilson and Parks for Tech- nology is deserving of credit. Worcester iPolptecfmtc institute In the best game of the season and before the largest crowd at any game this year, Worcester Tech defeated Textile 15-7. The game was full of thrills throughout and featured mainly the remarkable running of the Worcester halfback, Converse, who was alone responsible for ' Worcester ' s two touchdowns. Without Converse it is extremely probable that Worcester would have lost, due to the fact that Textile made twice as many first downs and gained more than twice as many yards by rushing. Textile showed more life and fight than at any other time this season, and certainly deserved to win. In the third quarter our team plunged down the field for 60 yards, stopping only after Larry Guild had crossed the final line for a touch- down. Converse, with his two runs of 35 yards each, and his 90-yard run for a touch- down, easily stands out as the Worcester star. For Textile, Larry Guild, who was almost alone responsible for our touchdown, took the honors. On the offense Worcester could not stop him, and on the defense no enemy runner could get past him; in fact his work that afternoon was one of the best exhibitions of football seen on the Textile Campus for some time. iHa acfju ettg Agricultural College Textile ' s last game for the 19 25 season was played in Amherst against the powerful M. A. C. team on November 14th. The M. A. C. team was the strongest that Textile has faced this year, and, although we were badly beaten, there is con- siderable glory in being one of the three teams who scored against the Amherst eleven. The game from start to finish was rough and irregular. Constant penalties were called on Textile by the referee, and the officiating was poor, to say the least. The game, however, had its bright spots, chiefly the remarkable 65-yard run of Corbett and the excellent work of Guild and Captain Brosnan. 117 ' Oil a o 0H , J t- o ' ■S «« O -f en Oj fc 3 ■S 3P U ™ S 1m g3 ■ s OJ £- = cgee il P4 S OS „ C u, U kH J3 fa 1 « fa r B 2 w fa fa s-T fa ■1  H to o 3 O c hJ - fa r, S o u . 2 -t— ' 3 ? 3« Sjf 0 c _c O Sh c o CU .3 tf •+- o tfkH 3 . «-o£ crl .

Lefty, who started his baseball career on the sandlots around Lowell, is of true big-league calibre. After serving several years ' apprenticeship in the old Eastern League, he was sent to Chicago where he spent several seasons with the White Sox. He later was sold to the Boston Braves and, almost single-handed, portsided that team to its pennant in 1914. Tyler did very creditable work with the few veterans who were on hand to play. The percentage column does not show the true worth of the team, as a series of unfortunate events robbed Textile of first one player and then another, so that hardly a game was played with the full force of regulars on the field. Textile showed up especially weak on the mound with the bulk of the burden falling on the shoulders of Captain-elect Tom Joy, the only veteran pitcher on the squad. New material was so scarce, in fact, that Burke was made over from an outfielder into a pitcher, and did very creditable work as a flinger. Andy Scanlon, a veteran of two years, piloted the team and held down the hot corner in good style. Andy was lost through graduation last June and he will be greatly missed by Textile, for Andy was a true sportsman and an athlete of more than ordinary ability. Red Kenney held down the initial sack and Red certainly got them both out of the dirt and up in the air. His stick work also was of the best. Kenney will be back this year and will make any recruit travel to take his job away from him. McKinnon and Stewart waged a hot battle over second base, and alternated in the position. Both turned in good work and knocked down many a vicious looking liner. Both of these men will be back this year so we are assured that the Keystone bag will be well taken care of. Linsey was brought in from the outfield to fill Ray Reynolds ' shoes and left little to be desired. Peanut headed the batting order and drew many a pass. He was out for some time with a hand injury, during which time Cartier filled in. Antulonis and Cartier held big Tom Joy ' s offerings behind the plate, and did a good job at it. Neither of these men will be back for spring practice, so another hole must be filled from the lower class ranks. The outfield berths were held down by Burke, Joy, McKay and Les Logan, all of whom covered lots of ground and gave the opposing pitchers plenty to worry about. 121 THE PICKOUT 1926 Jfttri)tmrg iSormal Our team opened the season with a 2-0 victory over Fitchburg Normal on April 14. The temperature was so low that hardly a dozen spectators stayed for the finish. Tom Joy pitched in perfect form, in spite of the cold, and allowed only two hits, striking our thirteen Fitchburg batters. McNally also pitched well for Fitchburg, getting twelve strike-outs. robtbence College In the second game of the season, at Providence on April 16, Textile lost a close decision after leading the strong Providence team 8 to at one time. Burke was pitching well, but in the sixth inning the umpires donated three passes to first, and Providence scored four runs. Later, Providence tied the score and then, in the tenth inning, squeezed in the winning run. JSorfcmcf) Unioersttp Textile came back against Norwich, winning 6 to 2 on April 24th. Tom Joy pitched and showed a variety of stuff that was more than bewildering. Cartier, who drew the receiving assignment, presented the visitors with a brace of runs in the first, by losing a couple of Tom ' s speed balls in the dirt. Thereafter the home team tightened up and the plate remained as far from Norwich ' s reach as the moon. Colup College Colby visited Textile Campus on April 27 with a crew of veterans. Burke was going good and had the Maine boys eating out of his hand. The score was 7 to 2 in the seventh in favor of Lowell when Tyler brought Tom Joy in from center field to finish up. Tom was cold and his twirling was not up to standard. Colby came from behind in the eighth and ninth to score six runs and take the game by the heart- breaking score of 8 to 7. Joy was right there with his pole and Kenney furnished the big thrill with his homer over the building in the seventh. Linsey covered lots of ground around second base and saved more than one tally. poston Unibergttp The B. U. Terriers came up and walked away with a gift from the home team. The score was 7 to 3. Textile played loosely in the field and showed no punch at the bat except in the third when a sequence of hits brought in all three runs. The boys from Beantown made their hits when hits counted, and took advantage of every break. 122 THE PICK OUT 1926 Pates; College Fielding well behind Joy ' s good twirling, Textile pinned the bee on Bates on May 2nd to the tune of 6 to 1. Ray, the dusky center-fielder for the Maine boys, was the outstanding star, taking everything which came his way and picking off many a fly which looked good for one or more bases. Joy worked himself into a few tight places, and then just as easily pitched himself back onto firm ground. It was an interesting game to watch and the spectators saw a l ot of good baseball. ItXillanoba Villanova came to Lowell on May 7th after playing Boston College and many other strong northern teams. After nine innings, in which Joy and Burke were each nicked for eight hits, the score board showed that Textile was on the short end of a 15 to score. Kenney got Textile ' s lone bingle — a single over second base. Burke gave the Southerners a slight surprise in the seventh, when he struck out the batters in one, two, three, order. Untfc)er£ ttp of JJeto Hampshire With a hospital list including Joy, Burke, Kenney, Cartier and Scanlon, Textile journeyed to Durham to play a game which should have been cancelled. Franks and McKay were used on the mound, while Bachmann was behind the bat. The umpire called the game at the end of the fifth inning with Textile submerged 21 to 1. Jgortfjeasitern Hntbergitp After a slight rest Textile came back against Northeastern at Lowell and carried off the game 3 to 2. It was a close game, with Burke scoring the winning- run in the seventh on a wild pitch. Textile did not show any great baseball, but was just enough better than Northeastern to pull the game out of the fire. Wovtt$ttv Polpted)tttc institute On Alumni Day, Worcester Tech came to Lowell and after a hard struggle emerged victor by the score of 11 to 7. Textile seemed rather sleepy most of the time and lost many chances to score while Worcester played heads up and took advantage of every opening. Tom was off form and when Tom falters the rest of the team follows suit. There was plenty of interest displayed by the spectators in the stands, and a Textile victory would have meant a lot, but such was not to be, so we wait until next year. 123 o a jo o D.

Coffey Brosnan Logan 126 THEPICKOUT 19 2 6 Cfje 1925=26 Reason Textile tackled her usual hard schedule this year, the season being inaugurated by a call for candidates issued by Captain Kenney early in November, to which about thirty responded. Among the veterans were Logan, Goldenberg, McKay and Bill Smith, with Bellemere, Coffey, Hale, and Fairweather showing promise among the new men. The team, due to lack of condition and practice, failed to find itself at the start, but by the end of the season had developed into a smooth running aggregation with an impenetrable defense. Kenney and Burke were the stars of the year. Bellemere put across some brilliant floor work and shooting,. and Coffey proved to be a real find at guard. Bill Smith played his usual steady game and Logan at times showed flashes of his last season form. McKay gradually developed at center, and toward the end of the season played the pivot position with excellent success. P. WL. 50; textile 16 Textile, handicapped by the vacation lay-off, dropped the opener to B. U. at Boston. The team was unable to function as a team, and lack of condition was a detriment. jH. 3L ®. 48; textile 26 Textile went down again the following night, this time to M. I. T. The same raggedness characterized the playing of the team, although the offense began to shape up better. Kenney showed spurts of midseason form, and toward the end of the game the playing of the whole team improved, although the showing of neither team was particularly impressive. Jgortfjeasitern 34; textile 33 The third defeat of the season, if one might call it such, was tacked onto the Millmen on their own court. Textile got away to a slow start, gathering speed as the game progressed, giving Northeastern a stiff brush for the lead in the final stanza. The whistle saved the game for the visitors. Textile worked in excellent form, and gave promise of developing into a top- notch aggregation. Kenney and Burke were back in form on the offense, but the defense needed bolstering. The shooting of the Northeastern team was excellent. 127 THE PICKOUT 1926 textile 27; jfttrtjtmrg Jgormai 16 Textile at last struck a soft spot in her schedule and broke into the winning column, leading Fitchburg 27-16 at the final whistle. The team worked more as a unit, and the defense was improved. Kenney, Burke, and McKay dropped some neat twin counters from outside the foul line, and Coffey made the opposing forwards fight shy of his territory by his brilliant guarding. JSeto Pebforb 32; textile 14 Overconfidence cost Textile another victory at New Bedford. Lowell pulled up to within two points of New Bedford in the last half, but the final spurt found Lowell ' s bolt shot, and the home team romped home eight points to the good. Hank Burke was high man with four doubledeckers. New Bedford was impressive as a team . ftolp Cross 34; textile 23 Holy Cross took the long end of the score in one of the fastest and cleanest- played games of the season January 20th, on the local court. The score stood 17 all at the half, but Textile ' s lack of condition made her unable to stand the gaff of the final canto, and the whistle found her nine points in the rear of the Worcester quintet. Kenney, playing center, broke even with his man as to points scored from the floor and Coffey was much in evidence. Bellemere ' s work pleased the Worcester sporting scribes. Jgortbeasitem 44; textile 24 Textile, bent on avenging the one-point defeat administered by Northeastern earlier in the season, journeyed to Boston January 30th. Our team got away to a cyclonic start, chalking up five points before the home team got under way, and then relaxed into its form of the preceding few games, Textile ' s forwards were continually running afoul of Rafone, Northeastern ' s guard, and her defense seemed incapable of keeping the opposing forwards out. A spurt on the part of our team in the second half died a premature death, and that accounts for the large score. ft. 3. g tate 50; textile 36 Inability to get started blasted Textile ' s hopes of sinking Rhode Island at Kingston, February 6th. The Red and Black found itself later, however, and in the second half played rings around the boys from Little Rhody. Jackson, Rhode Island ' s heavyweight forward, sank twelve twin counters. Kenney and Burke carried the banner for Textile. Qhift 44; textile 12 Tufts experienced little difficulty in taking Textile into camp February 13th, at Medford. Faulty passing and failure to connect on short shots knocked Textile ' s 128 THE PICKOUT 1926 hopes into a cocked hat. Credit is due to the Tufts team for their excellent passing and ability to cage tough ones from all angles, however. Van French played a great game for the Jumboes, and Kenney and Coffey were best for Textile. Hank Burke had an off-night, due to an irritating cold. Coast uarb 41; textile 36 Textile came back strong against the Coast Guard Academy at New London, February 18th. Handicapped by the temporary loss of Bellemere, due to a re-exam, the team nevertheless forced the issue all the way, and with two more minutes of play would have overhauled the opposing team, which lost its grip toward the end. Hank Burke made up for his slump against Tufts by running wild and ring- ing ' em up from all over the court. JM? Cro 51; textile 21 Textile went down again before Holy Cross February 24th at Worcester. Holy Cross knew her court and played it to advantage. Our team hung on, however, until within five or six minutes of the whistle, when Holy Cross cut loose and ran up almost half their total. textile 30; J3eto Pebforb 25 Textile finally found herself and shook her jinx loose February 27th against New Bedford on the home court. The team worked as never before, putting up a beautiful attack and a stonewall defense. No one stood out, but the team was at last a team in the true sense of the word, and sent its supporters into a frenzy of excitement. New Bedford was in the rear throughout the contest, though they were slowly crawling up when the whistle blew. textile 39; Jfall ttoer 32 Textile went better than ever against Fall River at Lowell, March 3rd. The visitors were bewildered with the Red and Black attack and were forced to hurry their shots, being unable to penetrate her defense. Spectacular shots galore were chalked up for Bellemere, Coffey, Kenney, and McKay. Textile led 22-9 at the half and even though the visitors uncorked a terrific spurt in the stretch, managed to hold them in check until the whistle. textile 17; Jgortotcf) 14 Norwich, on tour, fully expected to return to Northfield with Textile ' s scalp at her belt, but Captain Kenney ' s hoopsters had hit their stride at last and refused to be stopped by the boys from Vermont. The game was a battle throughout, as the score shows, but the home team had the stamina to come through in the end. THE PICK OUT 1926 With about four minutes to go, Kenney sank a long one from way back on the side, even ing the count. Bellemere followed up with another twin counter, putting Textile in the lead, and shortly afterwards Burke sewed it up with another. McKay and Coffey worked well both on the defense and the offense. textile 25; P. W. 13 B. U., supported by a large contingent of rooters, came up to Lowell intent no drubbing Textile for a second time, but found Red ' s hoopsters all set and rami ' to go. The defense was set for the boys from Beantown, and the B. U. forwards were unable to get within scoring distance of the hoop. Textile led throughout, the score standing 13-6 at the half; the second half was pretty much a repetition of the first, the Red and Black coining down the stretch high, wide and handsome, and finishing twelve points to the good. Kenney turned in the star performance by holding Cohen, who ran up twenty- six points in the first B. U. game, to a meager two points on free throws. Worcester ttetft 33; textile 9 Textile, backed by a bus load of supporters, went out to Worcester March 13th with every intention of taking Poly tech and making it five straight. Captain Kenney, practically out on his feet with grippe, was in the game for only a brief period and without him the team lapsed into its mid-season form and Worcester ran wild. The team that beat B. U. and the team that faced Worcester differed as black does from white, for the latter team was without its main cog. Worcester had a top hole aggregation, and with Kenney in form it would have been a great tussle. In spite of Red ' s severe illness, he played a whale of a game while he was in there and scored a floor goal in beautiful fashion. If the entire team could have fought as he did, Worcester wouldn ' t have had a chance. FENCE DEDICATION, JUNE, 1925 130 - o CO - 53 c C3 d co o 5 cs a .■g-g.

In addition they have won considerable renown for the programs which they have put on in various halls throughout the city.

The comedy was staged in the Memorial Auditorium. The Annual Textile Ball followed, and with Leo Reisman and his Hotel Brunswick Orchestra, the affair was a complete success, long to be remembered by all who attended. The plot, which consisted of poor Jo Hero winning the annual horse-racing classic as well as the hand of the fair Peggy, gave each of the actors opportunity to show his stuff , which was most creditably done. Special mention must be made of the excellent work of Ronald S. MacKenzie as the leading man and John C. Westaway as the leading lady. MacKenzie ' s success was even greater than had been predicted from his previous appearance in Nothing but the Truth, and Westaway equalled, if he did not excel, the female impersonating ability of Brigham, who was a large factor in the success of four Textile shows. The success of the show was due in great part to the management under Whit Pierce and much credit goes to Professor Dow and Professor Fickett in their respective capacities as Faculty Coach and Treasurer. 16J THE PICKOUT 1926 Some Baby As the Pickout goes to press, plans are well under way for the Annual Textile Show and Ball, which will be held this year on the evening of April thirtieth at the Memorial Auditorium. The comedy to be presented, Some Baby, is very humorous, and will show the abilities of several new men in the Textile Players, especially in character roles. With MacKenzie and Westaway leading a strong cast, and with everyone busy, all signs point to another successful production. 162 jfratermtp €faentsf $fn $£t Contention The twenty-second Annual Convention of Phi Psi Fraternity was held under the auspices of Gamma Chapter from April 24th to 27th at the chapter house on Mt. Washington street. Two new chapters were represented, Eta, at North Carolina State, by Messrs. Johnson, Honeycutt and Hayes, and Theta, at Georgia Tech, by Messrs. Daniel and Du Pre. On Friday the southern delegates were entertained at luncheon in Boston by the Boston Alumni Chapter, after which they motored to Lowell by way of Concord and Lexington, stopping at the many places of interest en route. Friday was devoted to the registration of delegates and visiting alumni, and to meetings of various com- mittees. On Saturday the general and executive meetings were held at the chapter house, Grand President Snyder presiding, and a buffet luncheon followed. In the afternoon golf was the main attraction, and the keenest of rivalry at- tended the teeing off at the Vesper Country Club. There was also a baseball game at the athletic field of the school between active and alumni members, which fur- nished plenty of excitement. The school was opened and guides furnished, and many made good use of the opportunity to look it over. The convention banquet was held in Middlesex hall and proved to be one of the most successful in recent years. With the serious business of the convention over, fun and good fellowship reigned supreme to the thorough enjoyment of all present. On Sunday, the southern delegates were again entertained by the Boston Alumni Chapter, motoring along the North Shore to Gloucester, and later to various clubs for golf before entertaining in the evening. Simpson, Bradford, Robinson, Bouteiller, Godfrey, Gallagher, and Chairman Tom Joy made up the Gamma Chapter Committee and handled their tasks in an efficient manner. Belta appa $f)i banquet Young ' s Hotel, Boston, was the scene of the 23rd annual banquet of Delta Kappa Phi, Beta Chapter. The affair was pulled off on April 25, 1925, and Young ' s never saw a merrier crowd of collegians, both active and alumni, than it did on that 163 THE PICKOUT 1926 night. All the boys felt plenty good before the night was over, the goodness being- brought about in several different ways. After everyone had satisfied his inner- self with the excellent bill-of-fare (Oh, those steaks!), Toastmaster Phil Warren called upon various members, especially the alumni, for comments. Following a few interesting short talks, Ed Bigelow brought on his entertainers, some of whom were helped by various members of the fraternity. He sure knows how to arrange for such an occasion. Everyone then joined in a free-for-all talk-fest. Old acquaintances were renewed and many new ones made between the alumni and the active members. All went away with the feeling that they would not miss next year ' s banquet after the fine time that they had had at this one. The committee in charge under Chairman Harry Swain managed the affair to perfection. ( micron $t jfflap ftousie $artj Omicron Pi Fraternity held its third and most enjoyable and successful house party of the year the week-end of May 1, 1925. This party, as is the custom, was held in conjunction with the annual show presented by the Lowell Textile Players. The house was given over to the guests Friday afternoon when the girls began to arrive here. After dinner at the house everyone adjourned to the Lowell Memor- ial Auditorium where The Hottentot was staged. A very enjoyable time was had by all at the show and later at the dance, everybody made merry. After the dance, which ended at two o ' clock, the couples returned to the house where bridge and more dancing ensued until tiredness overcame the desire for more revelry. Saturday morning those of the guests who arose early enough were shown through our college buildings, while others toured the surrounding countryside in their machines. In the afternoon everyone was to attend the baseball game with Bates College, but on account of a severe rainstorm that came just before the start of the game the party went to Keith ' s. Much to our surprise we learned that the rain had stopped shortly and that the game had been played and we had won 6 to 1 . In the evening dinner and dancing were enjoyed at Harrisonia Manor. Here everybody had a wonderful time and all were sorry that we had to leave. This was a fitting and proper way to end the activities of the Spring house-party. Although the activities were over the house-party had not ended. It was not until late Sunday afternoon that all of the fair ones had left the house after the most enjoyable and successful party of the season. In closing, much credit and praise must be given to Mrs. M. C. Morrill of Lowell, who chaperoned. Credit is also due to the committee, which was composed of Phil Mason, chairman, Dick Sawyer and Buster Wiesner. 1G4 THE PICKOUT 1926 ipfji $St Spring J|ous;e $artp The annual spring house party at Phi Psi was inaugurated on the afternoon of Friday, May 1, with the exodus of those living in the house and its being turned over to the rapidly arriving guests. Festivities began with dinner, after which everyone made final preparations for attending the annual production of the Textile Players, this year The Hottentot. The performance was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, and afterwards dancing was in order until the wee small hours of the morning. After the strains of the last number had died away, the couples returned to the house, where an interval of gaiety ensued, and in due time everyone repaired to his or her downy couch to woo Morpheus. Saturday morning was either given over to sleeping or to visiting the school. In the afternoon several couples braved the uncertain weather and attended the Textile-Bates game, others went on trips into the surrounding country, and the rest remained at home to play bridge. Saturday evening the fraternity formal was held at the Marlborough, Frank Weldon ' s furnishing the syncopation. After the dance the fireplace invited the telling of bed-time stories and it was with reluctance that the company parted for the night. Sunday morning was of course given over to attending church and in the after- noon the party began to break up, bringing to a close one of the most successful functions in years. The chapter is very grateful to Mrs. Reinhold, who proved an excellent chap- eron, and to the committee, McGuire, Simpson, and Bouteiller, who worked effi- ciently and well for its success. ( micron $i Alumni pancjuet The twenty-third annual banquet of Omicron Pi Fraternity was held May 22, 1925 at the Marlborough Hotel. During the banquet, entertainment was furnished by actors engaged from B. F. Keith ' s Agency of Boston. After the banquet the annual business meeting of the Fraternity Alumni was held. Prof. A. A. Stewart ' 00, President of the Alumni, presided. It was gratifying to the active chapter to have so many of the graduate and honorary members present. This large turnout was due to the energetic committee, consisting of Howie Fletcher, chairman, Fergus Gladwin, and Lu Morrill, and they deserve credit for such a successful banquet. 165 THE PICKOUT 1926 Belta appa $fn Jlap ftou£e $artp The last house party of the college year was held on the week-end of the Worcester Tech.-Lowell Textile baseball game. The young ladies and their chap- erons arrived Friday afternoon at the Fraternity house, which was turned over to them for the affair. After being received as only college men can receive, the heavy week-end was started off with a trip to Keith ' s that night. Saturday morning saw the guests who could pull themselves away from bed being shown through L. T. S-. The afternoon was taken up with the ball game, and the perfect day finished with a fraternity dance at the Marlborough Hotel. The girls made their adieu Sunday, after properly showing their appreciation of the good time to the various members who were responsible for their coining. ( micron $i ftouse $artp The Fall house party, the first one of the year, came during the week-end of November 7, 1925. Friday night an informal dance was held at the Marlborough. The hall was decorated prettily in the Fraternity ' s colors and banners. Allen ' s Collegian orches- tra furnished the music very satisfactorily. Saturday morning was spent inspecting the school and showing the girls where we slave five days a week. In the afternoon the entire party witnessed the football game against Worcester Tech. This was a sad day for us because our ancient rival beat us, and as a result a rather quiet bunch returned to the house. However, soon the defeat of the afternoon ' s game was temporarily forgotten when the party arrived at Harrisonia Manor for dinner and dancing. Here a very pleasant evening was enjoyed and time passed so quickly that before anyone realized it, it was time to return to the house. It being Sunday the next day some slept late while others, more religious, attended church. The rest of the day was spent in reading the papers, walking, driving and resting until the time of departure. Then everyone wished the party was just beginning instead of ending. Professor and Mrs. F. S. Beattie and Mrs. Burtt should be praised for the way in which they chaperoned the week-end party. The committee responsible for the enjoyable time consisted of Phil Mason, chairman; Bob Chase, and Lu Morrill. 1G6 THE PICKOUT 1926 H tgma 0mega $£t Smoker The first fraternity smoker of the year 1925 was held by Sigma Omega Psi, on the evening of November 10, at its chapter house. An exceedingly large number of men were present as compared with the past few years. All guests were presented with handy souvenirs, while listening to the instrumental and vocal entertainment. Two alumni were present, Harry Marder and Barney Perlmutter, the latter giving an address which clearly elucidated the problems of the freshman student at L. T. S. The guest of honor, the president of all New England Chapters of Sigma Omega Psi, delivered a fine talk on the ideals and aspirations of the fraternity. A light buffet lunch was served and card games were begun that lasted into the wee sma ' hours of the night. The smoker was unanimously declared to have been the most enjoy- able in the chapter ' s annals. Belta l appa $fn Smoker Several alumni and members of the faculty were present at this looked-forward- to event which took place on November 11, 1925. The Frosh turned out in a large body and were royally received. Talks by President Leo Kenney, President Charles H. Eames of L. T. S., and Professor Barker were well absorbed by the attentive audience. Then- On with the Dance — came the lighter part of the evening ' s program. Two young women from a prominent Boston theatrical house livened things up with their dances and personal songs. The costumes made a hit, as usual. Brother Phil Cannell accompanied the gold-diggers on the piano. A piano-saxophone-banjo trio composed of Ev Willey, Bill Russell, and Harry Swain made things hum between numbers by the girls. Group singing, with feeling, was indulged in between bites and swallows of the refreshments served. As the name of the event indicates, it was a smoker ; there was smoke, and smoke, and more smoke ! The manufacturers of Chesterfields and Camels worked all the next day to make up the deficit caused by the gang on Mount Vernon Street and their guests. Gold pen knives were distributed to make the memory of the event lasting. The committee in charge, consisting of Chairman Norman MacKinnon, assisted by Harry Swain, Frank Kennedy, Roger Smith, Tom Tarpey, and Leo Kenney, are to be congratulated. Pf)t $sst Jfresifjman Smoker Gamma Chapter held its annual Freshman smoker on the evening of November 18, at the chapter house at 28 Mt. Washington street. There were about seventy 167 THE PICKOUT 1926 freshmen present, several members of the faculty, and a goodly number of alumni from Boston and vicinity, including Grand President Snyder. President H. T. Godfrey welcomed the guests on behalf of the fraternity, and introduced Doctor Smith as the speaker of the evening. Doctor Smith ' s talk was in main a synopsis of the development of college fraternities, and led to the frater- nities at Textile as a climax. Entertainment was furnished by four acts from Keith ' s, and by the showing of several movie films, including that of the Phi Psi convention, held in Lowell last year. At the conclusion of the entertainment, favors in the form of suitably en- graved leather bill folds were distributed and an excellent buffet lunch served. There were plenty of smokes and lots of pep, and, as they say in the North Overshoe Bugle, a good time was had by all. Credit for the success of the smoker goes to Simpson, Westaway, and Hooper, the committee. Boctor g ttegler gbbrestfesi $f)t $3t On the Sunday after the Freshman Smoker Dr. Stiegler of the faculty addressed Phi Psi and about fifteen freshmen at the Phi Psi house, his subject being Gas versus Bullets. He outlined the development of gas warfare and pointed out that, contrary to popular belief, it is in reality more humane than high powered shells and shrapnel in that it merely disables the combatant for the time being, in most cases, at least. At the conclusion of his talk he invited questions and as a result those present, in addition to having spent a pleasurable afternoon, received new insight on gas warfare which made it seem much less gruesome than formerly. ( microti f t Jfresrtjman Smoker On the evening of December 2, 1925, Omicron Pi Fraternity was host to the entire Freshman class and the members of the Faculty as well. The house was well filled long before eight o ' clock with freshmen and instructors who sat around in groups getting better acquainted while waiting for the entertain- ment and speakers of the evening. Before the entertainment Bill Smith welcomed the Freshmen for the Frater- nity and then introduced President Charles H. Eames, who addressed the Freshmen. He spoke to them about fraternity life and its influence upon them and the school. He also spoke of the importance of choosing the right house. President Eames ' s speech was well applauded by his listeners, after which followed the entertainment of the evening. This was well accomplished by three women from Keith ' s who kept everybody happy and laughing. 168 THE PICKOUT 1926 As souvenirs of the Smoker, Eversharp pencils engraved with Omieron Pi Smoker 1925 were given to the guests of the evening. A buffet lunch was served, and the remainder of the evening was spent in card playing, smoke talks, and singing popular song hits. Needless to say there were plenty of cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco for everyone and everyone had a fine time. The committee who succeeded in putting over such a good smoker was com- posed of Fergus Gladwin, chairman, But Burrage, Al Smith, and Ed Win gate. ££ tgma d mega $£t Bances Among the numerous dances held by the different New England chapters, at which Eta chapter of Lowell was well represented, were those of Iota (Boston Uni- versity), held on November 20, 1926; Mu (Tufts) on November 16 and 27; Kappa (Northeastern) on January 12, 1926; and Theta (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) on March 5, 1926. On the evening of March 12, Eta chapter conducted a dance in conjunction with Mu and Kappa chapters at Jackson Gym, Tufts College. A full representation from Lowell and about forty other couples helped make this dance a success. ( microti $t Cfjrtsstmas QTree Much has been said in past years about ' ' Twas the night before Christmas (vacation) and all through the Omieron Pi House not a creature was stirring — not even a mouse, but this year it seems the fellows did not care to listen for Santa Claus, impersonated by Walt Holt, to arrive with his reindeer, for his arrival came not during silence, but during three hearty cheers for Walt. During the presentation of the gifts much fun was had when appropriate presents were given away by Santa. It must be stated that several alumni dropped in unexpectedly, but that they were not forgotten by good old St. Nick, who had gifts enough for everyone. Everyone accepted the presents in the proper spirit, which made the evening a very enjoyable one. Cijrisitmas! at tfje B. it. ftouse Our annual Christmas party was held at the fraternity house on the evening of December 15, with a capacity crowd present. Many of the alumni showed up for this event, and the instructors were well represented. Such gifts as only a fraternity brother could concoct were presented with the necessary poetry . St. Nicholas was present in the shape of Shadow Bentley who filled the job to perfection. 169 THE PICKOUT 1926 When all the gifts had been distributed, the majority of those present adjourned to the Commodore, where they proceeded to teach the fair damsels of Lowell the Charleston. $fn $£t Christmas; ftree On the Thursday evening preceding the Christmas vacation Santa Claus, in the person of Ed Bullard, slid down the Phi Psi chimney and was greeted by the assembled brethren. He immediately went about his business, distributing the well chosen and appropriate gifts, and judging from the howls that went up as each package was opened, they were well received. His duty done, Santa and his old bag disappeared up the chimney, not to reappear until next year. For the boys, however, the festivities had only begun, and a goodly contingent left for the Com- modore upon Santa ' s departure, as is the custom. i£ tgma 0mega $£t Conbentton The tenth annual convention of Sigma Omega Psi was held in Boston on December 31, January 1 and 2. One hundred forty couples, besides other prom- inent guests, made their appearance at the Hotel Somerset on New Year ' s Eve to take part in the scheduled banquet and ball. At ten o ' clock, a picture was taken of all the revelers, who were being well entertained by a ten-piece orchestra. After the banquet, the hall was cleared for the dancers, some of whom were already inocu- lated with the Charleston germ. At the close of the dawn of the New Year, the ladies were presented with beautiful atomizers with the fraternity symbols engraved upon them. The men received sterling silver cuff links. On Friday afternoon at two o ' clock a smoker was held at the Fraternities Club at Boston, where many new plans for the new year were discussed. The evening- was devoted to a formal theatre party at the Repertory Theatre given to the men and their lady friends. After the play, the manager requested the guests of Sigma Omega Psi to remain in their seats until the theatre emptied, and later, played host to them backstage. Then the party adjourned to Chinatown until 3.00 A.M., where it had a restaurant to itself. Saturday afternoon the members convened at the Fraternities Club, where the national officers of the fraternity for the year 1926 were elected. In the evening a Beer and Pretzel party had its beginning at 8.00 o ' clock. The initiation of the neophytes of all the chapters was successfully carried through in a couple of hours. Then sandwiches, beer, and pretzels were served at 10 o ' clock and sterling silver Waldemar watch charms with the SQ? shield were given to all those attending. The remainder of the evening was broken up by small chats with the notable guests and professors, and by card games and musical entertainment. We are indebted for the success of this affair to Simon Kirshen, Morris Spector, and Mark Werman. 170 JUL ii 1 ! A jjuu T -TTTT J Ul ■ fCfhf-7 ) CRDN05 .September, 1925 Monday, 28 — We visit Ruth.

Noyes: Well, we had to pull one down. Warn ' t near enough wind for two. ' Mason: Why did they select the stork to couple with the doctor? Why not the eagle or the owl?

Now George is quite a decent sort. But he has it pretty tough; For Georgie is a Benedict — Married? Sure, that ' s enough. But Alfred is a different sort. He ' s one that likes to roam. He takes the girls out in his car And every one walks home. Now Ken has only one great fault Which is, he talks too loud, For when Ken starts to whisper, It sounds just like a crowd. And next Upon our program is a truly wonderful man Yes, everybody likes him, Delicious Dancing Dan.

Les Cushing provides Pullmans for all team trips. If you have, someone has been throwing you an awful line ! ! ! She left her hubby alone in their room at the hotel while she did some shopping. She returned. The many doors confused her. But she soon decided which was her room. She knocked and called, I ' m back, honey; let me in! No answer. Honey, honey, let me in! she called again. Honey, it ' s me --please, honey. Brief silence. Then came Bullard ' s voice, cold and full of baseness, from the other side of the door. Madam, this is not a bee hive, it ' s a bath room. 189 THE PICKOUT 1926 AUTHENTIC TEXTILE ETHICS IN THEORY AND PRACTICE For Class AA Boarding Houses First day, dash in. Always carry your own luggage and be sure to bang it through the door and up the stairs. Don ' t be quiet and unassuming. Kick out a few of the spindles in the stair railing and show yourself to be a real he-man. This is always a good starter and is the fi rst step towards establishing yourself. When you crash into the room, it will be warm. Rooms are always warm the first day. Drop the bags with a thud and slam the door shut. You are now a socalled rip roarin ' Textile, devoid of all moral worth and well on your way to the very devil. When the alarm sounds for dinner, be among the first going down the stairs. Don ' t kid yourself into believing you will be the first. You won ' t. Remember that an early start means much. The crowd will carry you straight into the eating room. The quick thinker will then dive underneath the table and grab a seat on the other side. It is well to note that assigned seats don ' t mean a thing. Not in this life! Once you get something to sit on, do just that. The cautious, not to say, exper- ienced will twist his pedal extremity around the chair leg as a safe guard against a sudden parting of the ways. Reach out for the nearest platter and try to make a clean sweep of it. Once a monopoly of the article is obtained there is much chace for shrewd bartering for victuals that rested on the other end of the table. If chances are that you will be a close second on. the reach, grab a fork and make a few effective swipes across the table. This will help in clearing decks and ofttimes will open to you opportunities truly rare. 190 THE PICKOUT 1926 Once you are properly started on your meal, the time has come for varied other outlets for your buoyant spirits. Of course, there is the inevitable glass of tepid water which has certain advantages in numerous byplays. Potatoes are a handy, not to say unlimited material which form excellent pellets for a little surreptitious target practice. Those on your neighbor ' s plate are usually found far and away the most applicable in design and texture for such a purpose. Boiled are often preferred to baked, but the preference, experience has shown, is largely a matter of personal prejudice. Mashed potatoes are not to be considered as there is small chance that you will ever see any around here. Sometimes it may be found convenient to bank your shots. At first thought, however, the practice may seem heinous in that the human cushion absorbs the greater potency of the missile, but one must confess upon mature consideration of the circumstances, that this unfortunate state of affairs is excusable in view of the fact that the main objective is the final landing place. The wise man will not call his shots. It is not only unnecessary but also inexpedient. Accompany these demonstrations with much noise and disorder. Never mind what the landlady says. She is a good old soul and wants you to enjoy her meals. Don ' t give her too much of your attention as this will cause a serious let-up in the activities, a condition which augers evil for the continuation of the fun. While waiting for the dessert, parlor tricks with the silver are in order. The more quiet at the table can amuse themselves guessing what the dessert will be. This will be found very tame sport after several days of board, since unfailingly it will be what was left over from the dessert of two days previous. This practice is an institution in all of the boarding houses, since it removes any source for notoriety on the score of having the same victuals two days running. Furthermore, the guesses can be no more than approximate since even the head of the house has probably long- since lost track of the ingredients. Those who have other claims upon their time would do well to pass up the dessert. Those who stay for dessert are either too lazy to get up or bears for pun- ishment. After toying with the enigma upon the plate, it is well to hold a general balloting, first to secure the opinion of the majority as to what was had for dessert, and secondly, to elect a committee to interview the landlady on the subject of better meals for a change. The second part of the business need not be taken up more than once a week for the thirty-week school year. On the subject of heat : There are three kinds which must be recognized : 1. Plain hot air 2. Hot water and hot air. . ' 3. Steam and hot air. The plain hot-air system works excellently as the landlord will hand out any quantity without restriction as soon as the subject of more or less heat is mentioned. 191 THE PICKOUT 1926 „ 7i awn w Mi „ h v.: The best step is to move to another boarding house. The clime may not vary much but as moving is cheaper than paying rent, there are undoubtedly some advantages gained. The house with the hot water system is to be passed up at any cost. It will be found that the owner of the structure has taken down the chimney to build himself a brick A I- 4 C Jfefe Fil lJ ' i ' g ara g e m the back yard. The hot water .-. .:;. v j v ' . ' ..- i ,:.- -,. ' ,.„, system works on the same principle as a broken thermos bottle and is even less efficient. Now the steam heating system is abso- lutely unparalleled for beauty and is fortu- nately the one most prevalent. There is positively no more impressive sight than a radiator glistening with the morning frost. A slight possibility always exists that there will be heat in the pipes some fine morning and for this reason it is considered unwise to allow icicles to accumulate on this piece of furniture. The ice water is apt to loosen the plaster in the ceiling down stairs. The careful man will keep a bed pan under the radiator to prevent such a catas- trophe. This, however, is the act of an optimist and it requires one of undaunted spirit to continue the practice. The matter of insufficient heat is a very serious one and may be handled in several ways upon the steam system, hammering on the radiator being the most popular. Teamwork in this plays an important part, uncalled for as it may seem. Indeed, hammering in unison on the part of all roomers is a point not to be over- looked. The hammering may bring you nothing but the effect produced is not dis- similar to that of steam tearing up a cold pipe. It must be said that the result is, rarely produced although there is a little frictional heat generated by the rapid con- tact of the metals, but this to all practical purposes must be discounted. However, the psychological effect is very profound and may even reach those heights as to cause the landlord worry over the coal bill. Such worry, you may be assured, is absolutely unnecessary, as the last date you had heat was the day you rented the room for the year. 192 THE PICKOUT 1926 WUXTRY ! WUXTRY ! WUXTRY ! ! Why Eddie Sports the Summer Service Skypiece The mystery of Massachusetts Milltown Monarch, Professor Barker, has been solved by the Somnambulent Sixth Sleuth scouting silently, seeking significant satisfaction for the Seven Snoopers ' Society. Winter and summer, fall and spring our Eddie disports neath the incandescent glow of Textile ' s 40-watt Mazdas, always attired in a beautiful, — yes, ladeez and gentlemen, positively beautiful — Sennett Straw of the very latest tailoring. Many, many detective agencies failed, when retained by various interested parties, to discover just why this part of his apparel is majestically and magnifi- cently perched atop the cranium of our Beau Brummel Ba-Ba chief. It remained for the solvers of that other intriguing mystery — The Part Played by a Derby in the Dyeing of Textiles — to ferret out and present a comprehensive and wholly acceptable reason for this display of dried grass. After months of untiring effort on the part of these gumshoed Hawkshaws, it has at last been brought to light that Eddie does not don the grass thatch to emu- late a Filipino, nor does he attempt to outdo Teddy Glynn — Boston ' s butcher mayorality candidate, but, truth to tell, he switches from rabbit hair to asparagus shoots for the very simple reason that you can ' t fan a hygroscope, thus producing psychrometric conditions, with a Scotch Tam-o-Shanter.

Rapid, unre- stricted circula- tion is absolutely necessary to the efficiency of any boiler, and while this feature is claimed for by many boiler man- ufacturers, the designs of this boiler is such that it is positive at all times. Large overload capacity, dry steam generated, and the remark- able flexibility of meeting fluctua- tingdemands par- ticularly adapts this boiler to se- vere conditions in industrial mills and plants. Greatest economy is assured because of the circulating passage, which delivers water from the front neck to the bottom of the shell. A constant temperature is assured because of this circulation which relieves uneven strains and stresses on this type of boilers. There are no troublesome brick settings, as the boiler is self-contained and is ready for operation upon delivery. We are manufacturers of Vertical Tubular Boilers, Brady Scotch Boilers, Water Tube Boilers, MacDonald Shaking Grates, Smith Door Protectors, and other types of the most efficient boilers upon the market today.

NO Plant is really complete without a Palmer Finishing Machine. No substitute has yet been found to give that richness of texture and liquid feel possessed by fabric Palmer finished. And such a wide variety of fabrics may be handled on the Palmer as to make its possibilities almost endless. The new engineering principals embodied in the MORRISON PALMER mark it as a machine apart from and above any claimant for comparison. Perfection is a superlative term, but this machine approaches it very closely. MORRISON MACHINE CO. PATERSON, N.

Has no continuously moving mechanism and therefore wear and replace- ment are nil. Has only one operative adjustment which seldom requires attention. Drop Wire system readily adjustable to suit number of harness and setting of whip roll. Our K-A has the endorsement of leading mills weaving cotton, silk and worsted.

NON -FLUID OIL is made remarkably adhesive by our exclusive process— and as a result it stays in the bearing— affording more positive and more continuous protection from frictional wear and tear — besides saving valuable goods from the depreciation caused by oil stains.
