V Mf-o Xc i J A K 4 ®lj? flukottt THE YEAR BOOK OF LOWELL TEXTILE SCHOOL PU BLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS VOLUME NO. XXII 10 27 THE ANDOVER PRESS ANDOVER. MASS. Jforetoorb ¥ E present to you for praise or con- demnation, the year book of the class of 1927. We have attempted to summarize the year ' s events in such a manner that upon looking back, in the years to come, on this year of Textile history, you will live this time over again. If you look upon this book as a souvenir of one of the im- portant years of your life, and as a reminder of your Alma Mater, we shall feel that our work has not been in vain. ebication With affectionate regard we dedicate this, the twenty-second volume of the PlCKOUT, to the memory of the man whose Stirling character and engaging personality made him beloved by all those of our Alma Mater who had come in contact with him. A teacher, a scholar, a student, a friend. 1878=1926 L.T.S. 1900 HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COTTON YARNS 1904-1926 Professor tepfjen €. mttfj A teacher, father, brother true, A gracious friend : Cheerful, kind, and faithful too, Unto the end. Joy and gladness he did bring. From dusk till dawn: But like the flowers that bloom in spring He now is gone. By hands now stilled his work he wrought And we will never Forget the lesson he has taught. He lives forever. Written by William M. Campbell ' 29 Prof. Stephen E. Smith graduated from L.T.S. in the Class of 1900. Following his graduation he was connected with the Lowell Machine Shop, now known as the Saco-Lowell Shops. Under Mr. Otis Humphrey he became an instructor in cotton yarns in 1902, and in 1904 became head of the Department when Mr. Humphrey resigned. Through his energetic work and foresight, the cotton yarn department was developed and enlarged, and from this, his next step was to fill the urgent need of a knitting laboratory; to this cause Professor Smith devoted all this effort not only during school, but also through many summer vacations. His interest was by no means limited to the day courses, for many evening students have felt the power of his personality, his enthusiasm in his teaching and his aid in furthering their advancement. He was always a great advocate of the importance of Evening Classes. During the past few years he had under his charge the Pickout. Although a student publication, its success is dependent upon the work of the students, but the guiding and helping hand was that of Professor Smith. To the entire school there comes a deep sense of a great loss in the absence of a personality that stood for the deeper thoughts of life, who viewed annoying and apparently serious conditions with a broad and optimistic vision that brought light out of darkness, and courage to the depressed. Those who knew him are grateful for this privilege and thankful that they have been brought under his influence, which is bound to remain clearly with them. %. ft. ft. VER ' cross the river, And near its rugged bank, Stands a massive yellow structure, The best one of its rank. It is there that many a man has been, And risen to great fame ; It is there that men are learning To uphold its glorious name. It is there that the red and black Are upheld by each and everyone, Just as it was in the days of yore When the School was first begun. And so may it be hereafter, As now, and in days gone by, Let everyone stand for L. T. S., And never let it die. A. A. T. C. C Acknowledgment Advertisers .... Athletic Association A. S.

It is an unforgettable year. The year in which we learn the many mysteries of college life and its practices. In later years in moments of idle- ness when he dwells on the four years spent at college, unconsciously his mind al- ways seems to return to his first year. How well we believe this, for how can we ever forget our first day at L. T. S.? After registration, which was a very complicated process for our young minds to grasp, we were given a very unusual reception by the Sophs. They first took us to the oval where we were forced to remove our shoes, said shoes being tied to- gether and piled in a wheel-barrow, which was to head our procession down to the Square. That parade to the Square we will always think of, as marching through an end- less gauntlet of flying fish, rotten tomatoes and swinging paddles. At Page ' s clock we gave many speeches on nothing at all and after a few more antics were allowed to scramble for our shoes and then proceed to our homes. Thus did ' 27 meet in a body for the first time. On the following day we were addressed by President Eames, who warned us against the numerous pitfalls of college life. Some of us heeded his warnings but alas, some forgot. Then followed a week of tremendous business when we were sold caps, rules and everything else salable by the Sophomores. The numerals on the river bed were changed often but in the end ' 27 was put there to stay. Perk McGuire was chosen as temporary president of the class and started to organize a football team and get the Freshman Banquet under way. In the game we were defeated, 18 to 0, but the banquet which was held that night was an absolute success. Bill Smith, president of the Sophomore Class, was kidnapped and attended the banquet handcuffed to a radiator in the hall. When the time came the Fresh- men began to arrive and all succeeded in getting into the banquet hall before our plans were discovered by the Sophs. The banqu et was well under way when the Sophomores discovered us. A fight ensued, and was soon put to an end by a riot call to the police station. After eating a hearty dinner speeches were given by our guests of the evening, President Eames, Professor Dow, and Professor Ball. 25 THE PICKOUT 1927 The class elections were held at the banquet and the results were as follows: Perk McGuire, President; Charlie Fredrickson, Vice-President; Hargreaves Heap, Jr., Secretary; and Ed Wingate, Treasurer. A snake dance was held in front of the banquet hall immediately afterwards, but this brought about another riot call and we were dispersed. For us Textile Night at the Y. M. C. A. was a huge success as we defeated the Sophs at basketball with a score of 26 to 16. After mid-year exams were over our class again came forward in athletics and dramatics. Red Kenney and Hank Burke brought honor to our class in base- ball. Harry Jones, Angus MacKenzie and Larry Guild showed their talents in the annual play. At the close of the year elections were held for Sophomore officers and the results were: Ev Skinner, President; George Leavit, Vice-President; Red Kenney, Treasurer; Ed Wingate, Secretary; and Joe Lussier on the Executive Council. After many adieus, and handshakes the class broke up to go on its first vacation. H opf)omore Hapg Vacation was soon over and we were back at Textile. This year we were the ones to give the Freshmen their reception and we avenged ourselves in good measure. It was not long before the babies recognized their superiors and obeyed our com- mands. Again the class of ' 27 came into their own by giving a large number of men to the football team. Skinner, Bentley, Gladwin, Guild, Peterson, Redding, Lussier, Connorton , Musgrave and Al Smith were the able-bodied men. We defeated the Freshmen in inter-class football by a score of 6 to 0, Jerry Franks starring by re- covering a fumble and scoring a touchdown during the first half of the game. The Freshmen succeeded in holding their banquet. They kidnapped Ev Skinner and when we made an effort to release him the Freshmen called out the police who prevented us from interfering further. Again Textile night was a success for us, as we defeated the lower class in basketball. This year also we found many ' 27 men engaged in athletics and other activities. Captain Kenney, Burke, Goldenberg and John Slack did us credit on the basketball team. Angus MacKenzie took the leading role in the play and was assisted by Dave Ryan, Larry Guild, John Shea and Ed Bullard. In baseball Red Kenney and Hank Burke were still doing wonderful work. Norm McKinnon made the regular squad and his ability was a great asset to the team. Final exams came and once again we parted for our summer vacation. 26 THE PICKOUT 1927 junior Bap£ The return to Textile found our ranks much smaller due to the automatic transfer of our three-year men to the Senior Class. Those that were left kept up the usual good showing of ' 27 men, by a large number reporting for football, baseball and basketball. The Juniors took a very active part in the Text, Pickout and the Show, with a large number in the Glee Club. The year slipped by very quickly and spring found us working hard to become members of that celestial body — The Seniors. Senior Baptf Now that we have arrived at our goal at last we find our class still as active as ever in the school. Many new men have been added from the three -year courses. Our athletes are still helping our teams to win victories. Many of our number are giving their time to the Orchestra, Glee Club and school publications. It is a busy year for us all, and with the many activities of school and our efforts to win our sheepskins, we find little time for idleness. The outstanding social affair of the year was the Senior Dance, held at the Marlborough Hotel on Friday, November 19th. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Bachmann and Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Cushing. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Tectonians. The success of the dance was due largely to the committee consisting of Dick Sawyer, Dave Ryan, Red Kenney and Toni Flynn. The time has come when we must soon part and our many pleasant associates will have to be left behind. As we take our mid-year exams and whisper to our- selves, never, never again, we begin to realize that our college life is almost over, and although we are over-enthusiastic to get out into our chosen field of the Textile industry and glad to leave behind the grind of studying and college routine, we have had some very pleasant times mixed in with our work and as the year comes nearer and nearer to an end there seems to be a melancholy sound to our, never, never again. 27 THE PICKOUT 1927 LOUIS LOWELL ANTHONY Lowell, Massachusetts SPORT ' whispering lou flaming mamie ' HOT LIPS Whispering Lou came busting across Moody Street bridge one late September day in 1925 in his trusty Phorde proclaiming his arrival with a noise that only a Ford can make when put into reverse gear to save the brakes. The Sophs soon became aware that they were not dealing with the ordinary unsophisticated Freshman. Hot Lips was a man of the world, and was aware of many things that even the mighty second-year men knew not of. One of his outstanding characteristics was his pas- sion for ultra balloon trousers. It was a sight for sore eyes to see Sport in the outfield of Les Cushing ' s Frosh baseball squad with his bags flapping wildly in the breeze which frequents the campus every time a baseball appears on it. The members of the opposite sex succumb to Flaming Mamie ' s charms without a struggle. Such is his personality. He is noted for his many and varied young lady friends. He has attained great success in the art of Commodoring, and is a master to whom the newcomers should go to receive instruction s in this highly complicated art. The compulsory liability insurance act hit Sport and his car hard so that they were not seen together for some time. In February some time, though, Lou could stand it no longer. He secured his number plates at great expense, and he is happy once more. Although this is only Sport ' s second year at Textile, he feels that he must leave us to accomplish greater things. We wish you unlimited success, Lou, in any busi- ness that you may venture. 28 THE PICKOUT 1927 LEO JOSEPH BARRY Cambridge, Massachusetts AK$ LEO WILLIE HOPPE JOE After prepping at Harvard Leo decided to fur- ther his education at Textile. He, being a boy from the large city, was not awed by the massive buildings of Lowell. He looked with scorn upon our night clubs, the Park, Parthenon and Miner- va, but soon came to know these places by name at least. For the first term he went through the regular routine of the Freshman class, leaving time enough to practice his pool shots. Willie Hoppe de- cided to study the anatomy of the wool fibre, and under Eddie, Porkey, Limie, and the rest of the Profs, in the basement, he dug into a bale of wool and started. Lately Joe has been spending much time in Arlington and traveling to and fro between Lowell and the aforesaid town, so we have faint suspicions that soon he will be carting a ball and chain. He ' s leaving us now and we know he ' ll make good, so we say Adieu, Leo, Adieu. 29 THE PICKOUT 1927 SAMUEL COOK BATTLES North Andover, Massachusetts on sam Football 1, 2, 3 This is perhaps one of the most valued photos ever registered in the local rogues ' gallery, and illustrates to a certain degree, one Sam Battles of North Andover, beau brummel extraordinary. Now when Samuel had just about reached the age of adolescence he heard the story of Mary and her little lamb, so without saying a word to any- one, he shook the hayseeds from his curly black locks and dusted out for fame, fortune, and Eddie Barker ' s wool course. Altho Mary and the little animals did not ma- terialize in class, his education was soon started, learning among other things, the material advan- tages of a Ford roadster for commuting and sundry pursuits. As time went on, Sam tired of note-taking, so he saved his energy and put it into work on the football field. Here he showed great versatility, playing both professional and amateur ball with equal ease. But with the strain of his daily home preparation, his frail constitution was under- mined and, sad to say, we lost Samuel when we needed him most. Waste no tears over his poor carcass, kind reader, for the proud name of Battles is a fighting name, and we ' ll all hail the day when Sam comes marching home. We shall miss you a lot, Sam, your grin and cheering way, so for us let it be just au re voir and not goodbye. 30 THE PICKOUT 1927 HOWARD SEYMOUR BRONSON Portage, Wisconsin whiskey Three years ago the Freshman Class found itself honored by the presence of a Big Butter and Egg Man from the West. Yes, Howard hails from the great open spaces where men are men. Howard at first aspired to be an engineer under Prof. Ball, but the call of the Wool Lab. was too strong for him and in his second year he joined Prof. Barker ' s cohorts. His pet hobby is knitting and among his several ventures at Lowell Textile was a knitting thesis. Howard has one other favorite study, which is English. During his three years here at school he has specialized in English and should now find him- self well versed in the mysteries of Unity, Coher- ence, and Emphasis. During his first two years at school Howard was often to be seen in the saddle. But his means of locomotion was not a wild broncho of the well-known Western type but a fast traveling motorcycle. It was with this vehicle that he explored Lowell, Lakeview and other points south, as well as traveled half way across the continent to his home in Wisconsin. Though a quiet and unassuming chap Whiskey was not averse to having a good time. Do not be misled, however, for he always found the time to play only after his books had been put away and his work finished. On leaving us, we wish you luck, Howard, and are confident that your success in the business world will rival that here in school. 31 THE PICKOUT 1927 THOMAS FRAN CI S CONNOR Roxbury, Massachusetts A K4 tom Show 3 When the fire and smoke had cleared away, there stood Tommy Connor, innocent but learned in the ways of welcome to prospective L. T. S. stu- dents. The still town of Roxbury lost a shining son when Tom came to Lowell. He contracted for a few lessons in wool manu- facturing and when he saw how interesting they were, he decided to stay a while. Tom has always been one of Textile ' s most loyal rooters. He has travelled all over the country with our invading athletes, and has cheered them on to many victories. With his ever-ready smile he was quite popular with all the boys, and indeed he has tamed many of the deadlier sex with it. Tom never knew the city very well though he was often seen searching over in Belvidere — but not for an honest man. We often wondered why he used to stroll through the 5 and 10 cent store when- ever he was downtown. Was he looking over the stock ? Tom was the champion Charleston hound of the Wool Lab and he won many prizes at the Commodore. Tom has been a great help to the Show for the past two years and has con- tributed largely to its great success. We all know Tommy will be a success in the industry and we wish him the best of luck. 32 THE PICKOUT 19 2 7 JAMES BARBER DODS Alton, Ontario, Canada on JIM JIMMIE Class Football 2 It is indeed a pleasure to present for your ap- proval, James B. Dods, one of the better known cantaloupe kings of Ontario and points west. Now to whom it may concern, James blew into these parts unhonored and unsung, but beneath the impassive surface of our subject ' s physiognomy, there bloomed the man of destiny, the master mind of mill men. Altho possessed of an exceedingly democratic nature his first year, it was dispossessed when he became a member of the capitalistic class and begat himself a darby tho slightly worn roadster of one of the most popular makes in years gone by. The call of the wild often floated to James ' s ears while passing through the local thoroughfares, and he is said to have made hay while the sun shone in his roadster built for just two. But another entered his life and in the ensuing triangular combat Fifi, his new room-mate, displaced wine, women, and song, as well as two-thirds of the seating space in Jim ' s life. Each vacation Jimmie dashed back home in fine style, but the last return trip he was caught in a rainstorm at Rochester and the car nigh ruined. Henceforth on, did the House of Dods decline. Shanks mare proved a hardy taskmaster, and Jim finally turned to study to drown his secret sorrow. And now we can point to James with pride, for the master mind of mill men has materialized, and soon our hero will return to Canada where they await his trium- phal home-coming. May your future hold nothing but the best for you, Jim, and whatever may happen, you ' ll be as little forgotten as Addison Sims of Seattle. 33 THE PICKOUT 1927 CLIFFORD ALBERT FARLEY Lowell, Massachusetts PlCKOUT 3, 4 Editor in Chief Pickout 4 Text 3, 4 Editor in Chief Text 3 PROFESSOR CLIFF Tau Epsilon Sigma 4 Assistant Instructor in Cotton 4 Executive Council 4 A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4 Assistant Treasurer A. S. M. E. 3 Kipling must have written his famous poem Boots particularly for Cliff ' s benefit. It all happened in the fall of ' 23 when Cliff decided to come to Textile and in order to fulfill his fond hopes had to walk the two miles over and the two miles back every day. What greater proof is needed of his ambition and determination? Within six months after his arrival Cliff became known as the Socrates of Textile and the Eli Whitney of the Cotton Lab, in recognition of which he was made an assistant instructor to the man of all knowledge, Mr. Woodbury . Like Caesar, Cliff has two great ambitions — to be the owner of a Chevrolet Coupe and the proud possessor of a sousaphone. The first he almost satisfied when he bought his Caddy, the only car of its type — 15 quarts of oil to a gallon of gas, as anyone who has driven behind him will testify not altogether in a gentlemanly fashion. The second he almost satisfied when he went to the den of iniquity one famous night to listen to the Pennsylvanians. As to the fair sex, need we say more than that Cliff is one of the charter members of the Four Helen Club. Ask anyone in Carlisle and he ' ll give you full data on it. In this world where stick-to-itiveness, brains and ability are rated at a premium Cliff should go far for he possesses not only all of these admirable qualities but many more as well. We all feel sure that some day we shall hear of Cliff as a man of note and will look back to our associations with him in college as something to be proud of and cherished. The best wishes of all of us go with him. 34 THE PICKOUT 192 7 BENJAMIN FEINBERG Newton, Massachusetts ben Glee Club 2, 3 While traveling on the continent of Europe Ben chanced to hear of the famous Limie Lowe and his equally famous course. Realizing he had at last discovered the seat of all knowledge he raced by air, land and sea to the Spindle City to enroll at Textile. Very few weeks had passed until all knew that Ben was a conscientious and hard-working student as well as a happy and amiable fellow. When once he had entered the domain of Hank Ply our hero soon became his first assistant as an authority on mules and cards. While per- forming his duties as assistant he qualified as the leading entry for the hard-luck prize by playing the leading role in several accidents. Ben ' s hobby is the collection of antique road- sters. The more noise they make the better he likes them, noise accounts for the selection of his socks. As his part in upholding the honor and glory of our class Ben has come forth as a soloist. No small part of the success of the Glee Club is due to Ben ' s efforts. No doubt his musical training has aided him, for Ben is the smoothest talker in the Wool Course. His discussions of current events with Mr. A. Paddy Sugden are well worth listening to, as are also the arguments he presents to Ruth for the removal of cuts. We do not know Ben ' s plans but he has been training for some time at the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasuim for the struggle with the cruel world. It is certain that after the struggle, Ben will have made a success of it for he has the courage and deter- mination that make him a credit to any endeavor he aspires to. When you leave us, Ben, you take with you the sincere wishes of your class- mates and friends for success. This mania for 35 THE PICKOUT 1927 ARTHUR LEON FERRIS Port Rowan, Ontario 4 iF FISH ART Fish, by all appearances, was as quiet as the great open spaces from which he hailed, but such was far from being true. He was most ingenious in •causing rumpuses, and then appearing perfectly innocent. His dry humor made him a welcome addition to any session where levity reigned, and his straight- from-the- shoulder way of acting made his friend- ship a thing of value. He is going back to his native Canada and tak- ing our best wishes for success with him. We hate to think of how dull our sojourn here would have been without him and his perpetual cheery word. 36 THE PICKOUT 1927 $ IF tommie floodie A. A. T. C. C. 3, 4 Local Research Council 4 THOMAS HENRY FLOOD Lowell, Massachusetts MIKE Class Football 1, 2 Chem. Fire Dept. 4 Tommie is a product of Lowell High School, having entered Textile only after he had taught the teachers at the High School all they know. Floodie hails from the wild and woolly South End where men are toughs, and the women are tougher. His three chief characteristics are: his scuffle, his tardiness to first hour classes, and last, but not least, his explosions. In the latter he is most pro- ficient, having two or three each year without fail. Also his research and experiments on the mercer- ization of Dink ' s shoes, did not work out very well. Floodie is a clever chemist. He must be, for otherwise he could not break so much apparatus and get away with such a small lab. fee. But it is in Physical Chemistry that he shines; he has even taken as a thesis The ' H ' ion concentration in dyebaths, the results of which, when published, promise to be one of the best sellers vying with Sinclair Lewis ' s books in circulation number. Tommie must have a gift of gab , altho we don ' t hear much of it, for last year he won the prize for selling the most tickets for the Show. And last but not least we must speak of his popularity with the fair sex. It is his repeated boast that he has a different girl for every day of the year. What we are wondering is; has he a different girl every day, because the same one won ' t go out with him a second time, or is it due to his popularity? But to get back to seriousness, everyone knows that Mike is a conscientious worker, and a true friend and pal. We all wish him luck, and success, and feel sure he will become a leader in whatever he enters. May good luck, and best wishes, go with you, Tom, old boy. 37 THE PICKOUT 1927 THOMAS JOSEPH FLYNN Pittsfield, Massachusetts AK$ tommy flynny stud A. A. T. C.

Altho he was from a small town, it did not take him long to meet the Cleopatras of Lowell in the old Associate Ballroom. Not being afraid to get his hands and arms all covered with dyes of many colors and hues, Stud made up his mind to be a chemist and to startle the world with new discoveries in the lines of textile chemistry. His discoveries were numerous. As to their connection with chemistry it is beyond our power to say. Tommy has that initiative and ambition which is in demand in all lines and we feel sure that he will make a success of anything that he may tackle. Upon leaving. Tommy, we all wish you the best of luck and prosperity. 38 THE PICKOUT 1927 STEPHEN KENNETH FORD Haverhill, Massachusetts 4  F STEVE Assistant Instructor in Chemistry 4 Local Research Council 4 A. A. T. C. C. 2, 3, 4 Another chemist — a left handed one — but ne ver- the-less one worthy of the name. Steve is truly adapted to his chosen field, having been able to assimilate all that Prof. Olney ' s henchmen could offer him, even unto P. Chem, with ease. He came out especially strong for Quant, and spent his last year as assistant to Mr. Fickett in that department. His salient characteristic, leaving out his will- ingness to work and the high standard he sets and attains, is his cryptic sarcasm and his dexterity in convincing one as to just how big a numbskull one is, with the correct use of current slang — entirely without malice. Steve will be a success in life. His character guarantees that. And his success will meet with our unanimous approbation. Tau Epsilon Sigma 4 Chem.

E. 2, 3, 4 PlCKOUT 4 Tau Epsilon Sigma 4 Becoming disgusted with Columbia because he could not study in his own home (he is one of those old-fashioned chaps who think that one goes to college to study), Jerry decided to become a dis- ciple of the slide rule under Coach Herbie Ball and his able corps of assistants. Of course, nothing but the hardest course Textile had to offer, Eng- ineering, would suit one of Jerry ' s character, and now, after four years of labor, we find him paired with Charlie Parsons in the extremely interesting thesis, How to Obtain Long Draft Machinery for Comparative Tests before Graduation. Jerry has two vocations, one for summer and one for winter, namely, tennis and ice skating. His numerous avocations include bridge, Buicking, boating, Broadwaying, studying, and others too numerous to mention. Yes indeed, Jerry is versatile. Great credit is due him for sticking to his vocations, for he perfectly abhors the sight of a tennis racquet or a pair of ice skates. In spite of this, would that we had Jerry ' s ability as a tennis player, if we too could be favored by the tennis queen of Lowell. Our knowledge of his connection with the sweet young things is rather limited. From his acquaintances in Lowell, however, we certainly think that he believes in quality rather than quantity. Referring to one of Jerry ' s avocations, studying, we are content to let the presi- dent ' s list speak for us. His has become one of the expected names on that list of privileged beings. Wool Yarns was his favorite course, he having become famous in that department as a summer employee of the Chelsea Fiber Mills. Why man, that plant is owned by the Standard Oil Company! Now, where you worked last summer, . . . . Now that we have had our fun let us all rise and wish Jerry the best of luck in his future work and activities. We are certain that if a pleasant disposition, a sterling character, and perseverance coupled with ability have anything to do with success, Jerry ' s future is indeed rosy. 40 THE PICKOUT 1927 CHARLES JOSEPH FREDRICKSON, JR. Shawsheen Village, Massachusetts charlie Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Vice-President 1 Baseball 4 Charlie is a very lively example that all villagers are not slow, dull fellows. The discovery of radio brought news into the little hamlet of a school farther up the mighty Merrimack, which prepared young men to enter the world dealing with wool and cotton and various other fibres of greater or less importance. Charlie, feeling the urge to make his way and climb the ladder of suc- cess, came to this school to get the necessary prep- aration. He has proven himself a chemist all the way thru, having been seen many times emerg- ing from the Dye Lab. looking as tho he had just finished dyeing the famous coat of many colors. Charlie cut his hole in the lines of many opposing football teams and gained many, many yards for L. T. S. We will miss you, Charlie, very much, and on leaving us we wish you luck. A. A. T. C. C. 3, 4 41 THE PICKOUT 1927 JOHN WATERS GALLAGHER Danbury, Connecticut $W jake Sporting Editor Text 3 Jake put in his original appearance at college .five weeks late and proceeded to catch up with the class by mid-years. He has never been late since — late for bed, we mean, for he and Morpheus are great pals. He is a victim of the hoof and mouth disease- he plays golf. This is condonable, however, as he is not prone to telling of his prowess. His clubs are his dearest possessions. Playing with the revolver on the shear in Finishing Lab. is an innocuous pastime compared to meddling with Jake ' s clubs. Coming from Danbury, he is, of course, an authority on the manufacture of felt hats. And as an information bureau concerning sporting events he has no equal — in fact, if he can remember What to do as well as he can sports data, and if he ap- lies himself as assiduously to his work as he does to his Text writeups, he ' ll go up rapidly, for he is no mean student, besides. First, though, someone interested in his future should present him with a Gillette. After he left Peddie he evidently forgot that is it occasionally necessary, even in howell, to remove the hirsute growth from off one ' s chin, and in consequence, it was often hard to tell where the coonskin ended and the chin began. 42 THE PICKOUT 1927 BERNHARDT BRECHER GLICKMAN Mattapan, Massachusetts DUSTY 2Q? ben bennie ' GLICKY Textile Show 3, 4 Business Manager Show 4 Pickout 4 Interfraternity Council 4 Fraternity President 4 A.

After looking the Normal School girls and our Co-eds over he decided to establish himself at Lowell for four years. Ben is a mighty fine athlete as we all know, especially in a well equipped gym as in Physical Ed. He was the only man to outwit the Physical Ed. director, by using his chin to advantage and being- excused for the year. He is certainly unique. First of all he is report- ed to be the only man at L. T. S. who has not yielded to the temptations of the Commodore; then also he was the best fuller of the class. Yes, even the instructor couldn ' t take out the tangles. He ' s the class financier, and is said to have been elected the class grafter. However, how can a fellow be accused of such a heinous crime when he hasn ' t handled a nickel in the two years of service? Probably you ' ll say he didn ' t get the chance; you ' re right. Therefore he ' s not a grafter — No. However, Dusty is a clever chap for he will complete his college course before reaching his majority. But in his case, it seems his mind was mature, for be- sides carrying all the courses on the schedule and completing them in required time, he managed to take an active part us all activities, overcoming the drawback of four years commuting from Boston. Well — take care, Dusty old boy — we wish you all the success in the world, and of course we have no doubt you will attain this, if you continue with your upright, courageous, and persevering manner. 43 THE PICKOUT 1927 LOUIS GOLDENBERG Brooklyn, New York SO?

E. 4 Tau Epsilon Sigma 4 Four years ago Louie enrolled in the engineer- ing course, after attending New York Textile School. From his previous experience he was able to accom- plish more than most of us in our first year and ever since then has shown great aptitude for making the most of his time : — with the result that he is always on the President ' s List and is one of the highest ranking men in our class. Besides his scholastic attainments Goldie has a goodly list of outside activities to add to his name. For four years Louie has been out for basketball and as the years went by was more and more counted on as one of the old reliables. As program manager of the A. S. M. E. he kept the society interested and Prof. Yeaton busy with his special features. One special trait sticks close to Louie, — his habit of asking questions, whether it is of visiting lecturers or our own harassed Profs., Louie generally has a sticker that requires some answering. Even Eddie stammered when Louie asked which was finer, one-half or one-quarter blood. We don ' t know what Louie is going to do after graduating but we do know that he will succeed in what he elects to take up. He has done well in all his courses, especial- ly Engineering, and as one of the faculty said, You want to watch the man, he will go far. We do know that he has secured more knowledge than the average, due to his ability, perseverance, and willingness to work. When he leaves he takes with him the best wishes of the whole class. 44 THE PICKOUT 192 7 LAWRENCE WINFIELD GUILD Quincy, Massachusetts ' LARRY Football 1, 2, 3, 4 A. S. M.

Larry was characterized by his serious- mindedness, his relish for work, and his whole- hearted interest in any movement that benefited his Alma Mater. It is needless for us to prophesy as to his future, for success in full measure cannot help be his, if he adheres to his Deeds, Not Words p olicy as he has in the past. And we are confident that he will. 45 THE PICKOUT 1927 EDWIN THOMAS HANSCOM Sanford, Maine NED ' FARMER Ned came all the way from Sanford, Maine, to study the remarkable results produced by chang- ing the back stood gear . This boy was at home in the weave room. Running a loom was so easy for him that Paddy had to put him sorting bolts or hunting long-lost wrenches. Ned always has his problems done, much to the satisfaction of the rest of the class. This wool-shark drags down the prizes, but don ' t think that he is a bookworm. Home isn ' t as much as headquarters for this boy ' s manoeuvers. The fair sex is quite an attraction to Ned, but he doesn ' t advertise it. He just slips out for the evening on one of his cozy dates. We know Ned is a hard worker and will be successful when confronted with the problems of the business world. 40 THE PICKOUT 1927 CLARENCE HOOPER Shirley, Massachusetts hoop The man from Shirley. We all suspect Clarence of having a shameful past. Rumor hath it that he is a graduate of that far famed institute in Shirley, the reform school. Never-the-less, in spite of the close watch we have kept over him, we have yet to catch him in any nefarious undertaking. We have about given up hope and if something does not happen soon Clarence will have succeeded in effec- tively concealing his somewhat shady early years. Clarence entered Lowell Textile in 1923 and aside from his boisterous manner has been a model student. This is his great fault, noisiness; he seems to have an unholy desire to cause a disturbance and we all feel that if he can only overcome this fault he will surely succeed. He is very industrious and the ease with which he grasps subjects is per- fectly marvelous. He was one of first to fully realize that if one banana cost ten cents, two bananas will cost twice as much. Clarence achieved two pinnacles of fame his freshman year; first, he shone as the star basketball player in Phys. Ed., and second he won second prize as having high marks in chemistry subjects. His second and third years he plugged along and now in his fourth year he is again shining as one of the star scholars. Like the girl in the song we can say of Hoop He knows his onions. Good luck to you, Hoop , we ' re all in back of you; go out and show the world there is something besides a reform school in Shirley. 47 THE PICKOUT 1927 FREDERICK LEO KENNEY Franklin, Massachusetts A K$ Varsity Club 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Captain Basketball 2, 3, 4 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Fraternity President 3, 4 ' RED FREDDY LEO Class President 4 Class Treasurer 2 Executive Council, 2, 3, 4 President Executive Council 3, 4 Assistant Instructor in Weaving 4 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. 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 four years, and captain for the last three. 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. Porky and Paddy didn ' t run the bobbin-stripping and metal-sorting lab. to suit Red, so he returned a fourth year in order to so conduct it as he saw fit. Weaving as well as Basketball and Baseball will certainly feel the loss of his sterling- leadership. Well, Red, we wish you all the luck in the world, and surely with your dispo- sition you are bound to succeed. 48 THE PICKOUT 1927 LEO EDWARD LEONARD Worcester, Massachusetts LEO MOE OurMoe. His middle name? Eustace, may- be, Euripides, perhaps — what moots it? After all, What ' s in a name? For despite his stature, or lack of it, Leo has demonstrated thoroughly that it ' s the man who counts. His course at Textile has been varied, but not aimless. He began under Pro . Ball ' s tutelage, switched during his second year to a cotton special, and during his third managed to crowd some wool into his schedule, in addition to studying under Prof. Haven at Technology. Each of these changes was prompted not by the desire to obtain a course that would entail plenty of spare hours, but rather by a keen foresight and a clear weighing of facts. Moe is fortunate in possessing both organizing and executive ability, can handle men, and is thor- ough in his work, all of which augurs well for his future. Is he a grind? Hardly. For the last three years, at least, every riot in the Phi Psi barracks had Leonard connected with it, if he was not its instigator. He enjoys life to the full, doth Moe, which indicates a well-balanced make-up. When he works, he works, and he can play as hard, at the right time. Moe has set his aim high, and even if the road is long and hard, he will hit the mark. 49 THE PICKOUT 1927 NORMAN McKINNON Lowell, Massachusetts NORMAN MURDOCK A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4 Junior Class President 3 Football 3 Varsity Club 4 mac BABY Basketball 2 Executive Council 3 Baseball 3, 4 Senior Candy Table Manager 4 Norman, a quiet and peaceful chap, educated in the fair city of Lowell, desired to continue his eddification in said city, so without further ado he hied himself up Moody St., and over the sacred bridge. He swears the bridge moved as he was coming over but we are inclined to think that it was his unbalanced condition, due to fear (he had heard rumors of the unmerciful Sophs) that caused him to think thus. However his fears soon vanished and he settled down to make a name for himself in L. T. S. annals. How well he did this is shown by his list of achieve- ments printed above. He is a versatile athlete as is shown by his sports record. He is a student as is shown by his expectation of completion of the engineering course in four years and by his reputa- tion (brought with him from High School) of being first man out of examinations. He is a social lion as is shown by his numerous acquaintances about town. When it comes to wimmen, he is one of those knock-em-dead kind. Another victim of the compulsory insurance law, Murdock is content to borrow his father ' s Buick this year, ye olde flivver being where many of its kind rests. The capacity of that flivver deserves special mention. Many the times we have seen it coming across the bridge with the whole D K bunch in it (or rather, on it), totally obscuring little Baby , the chauffeur, so that we wondered from whence came the guiding hand. Whether Mac sticks to the grocery business or enters new fields of endeavor we feel sure that his name will be among those paying exorbitant income taxes before a great many summers have passed. 50 THE PICKOUT 1927 CHARLES JOSEPH MEARS Quechee, Vermont ; charlie quechee chicken Glee Club 1, 2 CHASS1E In the fall of 1925 Lowell was startled by the alarming news that there existed, back in the hills of Vermont, a very small town by the queer name of Quechee. Interest was aroused not only in the town but also in the bearer of the news of its exist- tence namely Charlie Mears. Quechee, as he came to be known, while not showing alarming proficiency in his studies, created many lasting friendships among his class- mates and outside associates . ' ' Charlie ' s ' ' backward- ness among the ladies of the city was very noticeable to no one and as for the refreshment committees he was usually chairman and chief scout. Chicken ' s favorite class was that in anatomy, at Keith ' s, one and sometimes two afternoons a week. He, meaning Chassie, is a living proof that all of the Green Mountain Boys aren ' t green mountain boys. As yet Charlie hasn ' t decided what branch of the Textile business he will enter but whatever branch it may be we extend to him our deepest and most heartfelt wishes for a rousing success. 51 THE PICKOUT 1927 CHESTER WIILLAM MEYERS Billerica, Massachusetts hank chet A. A. T. C. C. 3, 4 Four years ago there came to us from that famous town of Billerica one Chester William . Meyers. Chester, we understand, had serious intentions of attending Mass. Aggie., but fortunate- ly for L. T. S. he changed his mind and decided to become a shining light in the textile world, and joined the ranks of Prof. Olney. At the end of the second year the urge to be- come a farmer again, became apparent and we came near losing him, but no, he realized he was leaving a task undone, so returned his third year to ably assist Prof. Dow to conduct his English class, and is still very earnestly carrying out his task. As to Chemistry, Chester has taken to it as a duck to water, and almost any afternoon, when not at Keith ' s, he maybe found working out new or- ganic compounds or concocting such odors that he has the whole lab. to himself. Chester has been a gentleman, at all times of scholarly taste, equipped with a keen mind, and will certainly make his mark in whatever field of the industry he chooses to follow up. He leaves our school with our wishes for the best of luck. 52 THE PICKOUT 1927 ARTHUR SMITH MILLIMAN Londonville, New York art Our big shirt manufacturer, from out near Albany, in the Empire State, is Arthur. After graduating from Tome, he took a brief vacation — a year or so — and then decided that Textile might be able to offer something to his advantage — so, accordingly, on to Lowell he came. He went about his business in a manner hardly to be called unobtrusive, but he nevertheless took time enough to demon strate aptly that when there was work to be done, he was the man to do it, and when he gets back in the shirt industry again, he will no doubt have derived a great deal of benefit from his sojourn here. And we will have benefited by his presence. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men, and he made that one of his working principles. And although all with him was not levity, it will be pleasant to think of him in that vein when, in the future, we buy his shirts. 53 THE PICKOUT 1927 CHARLES SUMNER PARSONS East Milton, Massachusetts charlie shylock A. S. M. E. % 3, 4 Class Secretary 4 Coop % 3, 4 Manager Coop 4 When Charlie left Brown, after attending there one year, to come to Textile, he used good ' judgment. And that was not the only time he used good judgment either, ' cause when he matri- culated at Textile, he elected to make doubly famous, by his having studied it, the already fa- mous engineering course. He succeeded in doing so in the usual four years. If you doubt it, ask him. It is said that, all the world ' s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. As Shy- lock, Charlie did himself proud; he played the part to a T, although he was not awarded that letter for his troubles. (We don ' t think it was any trouble at all to him, he has the gift.) In the cruel, cruel world Charlie ' s financial ability is sure to be recog- nized. During the summer, Sumner found it a little more difficult to coax the filthy lucre into his possession. As a spinner in a North Carolina mill, he worked from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and as a jacquard weaver in Taunton, Mass., conditions were little better. It is true that he returned to school, after each experience, a leaner man, having reduced his avoirdupois via the sweat of his brow method, but he also returned a wiser and better man. After working twelve hours a day in a southern mill, in the summer time, the curriculum of the engineering course couldn ' t keep Charlie busy. To occupy his spare time he studied cotton design in the evening for which he shall receive a diploma. Some things may have weighed heavily upon his mind, but his studies were not one of them; the proof is that Charlie never had to try to keep his report from being sent to East Milton. When, as we hope, we shall meet on that great battle field, the field of industry, Charlie Sumner Parsons will be one of the leaders. 54 THE PICKOUT 1927 EDWARD FRANCIS QUALTERS Ashuelot, New Hampshire A K S PEE- WEE HANK hydrant HALF- PINT FULL- Pi NT The huge metropolis of Ashuelot loaned one of its five-foot- two inhabitants to the famous Brick School when Hank arrived here. He was a vanishing character until the parading and riding days were over, then Hank became one of the sophisticated. His parking spot became the house on Varney Street, and from there Hank learned — ah! far too much, we fear. His debut as a textile student was made some- where near the Highland Club; these parties were followed by more, more, and alas ! still more. Hank was rated high on the soci al register of Anna, Alice, Chickie, Gorham Street, and the Park Hotel — and was at any time a welcomed guest — (finances permitting.) He and Porky were great pals ; they were often found in a heated argument as to the correct way to locate a wrong pick, or repair a loom. Hank sure did know his weaving — so much so in fact that he received, on his Special Diploma a degree affixed to his name ofjM. W. (Master of Weaving). Hank may not have rated in English, Math, and Mech., but he sure did rate with his many friends in the Student Body. It would be criminal to make anyone believe Hank never cracked a book ; he was a super-ambitious little lad, only he got tough breaks in his classes. — Anyhow in closing we all extend to Hank the best wishes that can be bestowed upon him in an y venture he may take in his future career.

Manager Baseball 2 Following in his brother ' s footsteps, Dave, as a freshman, enrolled to expose himself to the wool course, and, finding that he liked Lowell while Lowell was by no means unkind to him, decided to prolong his course to four years, much to the de- light of the fair sex. He tried his hand at all the extra-curriculum activities, and confides that he ' d have made Glee Club, too, had it not been for the fact that at the time he did not possess a dinner jacket. During his sophomore year he was assistant baseball manager, but later switched to basketball, and as manager of the ' 26- ' 27 quintet came into his full glory. Acting in this capacity he displayed both perseverance and business acumen, and it is an assured fact that, should he continue in a like manner out in the business world, success will be his. 50 THE PICKOUT 1927 LAWRENCE ALEXANDER SAVAGE Camden, South Carolnia on Secretary of Class 1 T. S. A. al Carolina In Lawrence Alexander Savage the world faces one of South Carolina ' s leading citizens and bunko men, as he will and won ' t tell the general populace. A child of the romantic South, Alexander, in his first year at school was a great admirer of the fair sex, although at times perhaps his taste was not of the best. Still, as a social worker, Carolina rated second to none, his acquaintance among the laundry help of the Spindle City being probably the greatest single factor in the improvement of the living conditions among those who aspire to better things. However, with the oncoming years, these manifestations passed on and Al ' s mind turned to the scientific investigation of haircuts for Frosh and a consideration of the relation of Chapel seats to the Freshman Class. Everything prospered, including himself, until in one of his most interesting experiments, he lost a beautiful pair of shears to Prexy by one of the closest decisions ever rendered by Janitor Shea. This was an unfortunate occurrence and blighted the remainder of Mr. Savage ' s school career. And now, the third year approaching, Alexander tied himself down to just two pursuits: The study of cotton, and how to fabricate the most unlikely yarn ever heard east of the Rockies. The last mentioned has been far and away the most successful of the two, the Arabian Nights being a mere pass in the dark compared to some of his brain children sprung in the Cotton lab. And after these long years, the time has come when Old Black Joe must return to the homeland. He leaves behind him many friends who look forward to the time when he will be either Hon. L. Alexander Savage, Governor of South Carolina, or No. 606 in some nice, comfortable penitentiary. Goodbye, and luck of the same, Al. 57 THE PICKOUT 1927 RICHARD MOREY SAWYER Winchester, Massachusetts on A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4 Business Manager Pickout 4 President A. S. M. E. 4 Secretary of Class 3 Show 2 Vice-President of Class 4 Pickout 3, 4 The appealing physiognomy of the young man on your right or left, according to the printer ' s whim, is none other than that of Dick Sawyer, the boy bandit from Winchester. Richard is, or shall we say, was, one of the hardiest engineers who draped their weary bones around Herbie Ball ' s office for the past four years. A man of truly varied activities, he attained perhaps his greatest notoriety as a local card shark. Many was the unsuspecting yearling who was enticed into a game of bridge by this master and who left in a disillusioned daze. For three years Richard performed faithfully on the L. T.S. track squad, his specialty being the 4:40 dash for the B. and M. station every afternoon. But the fourth year, the spirit of Textile came to stay. Dick also has charge of the financial work of this Pickout, and is a big man in the A. S. M. E., the last mentioned organization being thrown for a loss of ten d ollars this year when Mr. Sawyer indulged in a mad orgy of a week-end at Phila- delphia. So, when all is said and done, between what Richard makes and what he knocks down he should be able to retire when winter comes. Why need we say that Dick is assured of success in the business world when there is aways a place for men of his type in our public institutions. Let the welkin ring and the motto be Onward, Christian Soldiers. And when time and tide have taken toll, you can bank all on Richard Morey Sawyer coming down the home stretch a winner. Here ' s to your success, Dick, and wishes for the best of luck in the world, from the gang you left behind. 58 THE PICKOUT 1927 JACOB SCHNEIDERMAN Dorchester, Massachusetts 2 Q? ; jache schneidee jack Interfraternity Council 2, 3, 4 T. C. A. 1, 2, 3 Pickout 2, 3, 4 Fraternity President 3 Text 1, 2 Jache came to Lowell Textile School to pur- sue the worship of Design under the leadership of High Priest Heinie Bachmann. This yearhehas become an understudy of Prof. Bachmann and has taken much of the work of the Design Department off the latter ' s shoulders. Jack is a very modest boy and he boasts that he is the only gentlemen at the school who has never been kissed by the waning sex although he commutes daily on the famed B M., and in company with the Normal School Girls. (We wonder.) As we all know, Schneidee is the bridge and golf shark of our Alma Mater and he has won many prizes in the numerous golf tournaments through- out the state. While at Dorchester High School, Jack captained the golf team that won the Boston Suburban Championship. Jack is a very hard worker, always generous in his offerings, and a true friend to everybody. If there is nothing else in this world other than friendship that promotes a man, Jack will be one of them and a successful one at that. We all unite in wishing him the best of luck on leaving school. That he will succeed we have no doubt, for he is a worker and a man of keen intellect and good judgment. A better fellow — there is none. 59 THE PICKOUT 1927 JOHN Class Basketball 2 Class Football 2 Football 3, 4 JOHN FRANCIS SHEA Fitchburg, Massachusetts : SHEASKl JACK PECKER JOHNNY Executive Council 3, 4 Textile Show 2 Local Research Council 4 Basketball Dance Committee 3 German Club 1, 2, 3, 4 Chem. Fire Dept. 4 Every college has at least one handsome blonde sheik and John is ours. Little did Johnny expect, that he would be pursued by the fair sex from all parts of Lowell, when he left his quiet little home in Fitchburg to become a famous Textile Chemist. However, Johnny has pushed them aside with a sturdy hand and confined his talents to solving the intrigue of Doc Chapin ' s P-Chem molecules. One thing that always bothered John was his figure and after returning from one of his vaca- tions we soon found that Pecker had been trimmed of much excess weight. Sheaski proved to be a very valuable man to the school. He has shown great talents on the foot- ball team and played a very good part in the annual show as a fair damsel in distress. His work on the executive council and other school activities did not prevent Jack from taking up an extra course in agriculture, in which he found many new ways of making use of Peaches. Besides his interest in agriculture John has done considerable work in Ger- man. He liked first-year German so well that he took the whole year over again to make sure that he had it all. John knows that to be a successful chemist you have to have plenty of German. Jack although always a hard worker in school always finds time to give you a cheery smile. He has always been an exceedingly pleasant fellow to work with in school and we know that he is bound to become famous in his chosen field. So here ' s wishing you the best of luck, old boy, and may your future always be bright and prosperous. GO THE PICKOUT 19 27 ROGER DENNIS SMITH Haverhill, Massachusetts : DINTY ROGER : Class Football 1, 2 Back in the fall of 1924 a young soldier from Haverhill started up the Merrimack River with his canoe in search for fame and fortune. After many days of travel he finally reached the Pawtucket Falls where he decided to camp for awhile. At this point in the river there was a strong Textile Train- ing Camp which put out the best Captains in the Textile Industry. Our young soldier decided to train for awhile at this camp and then proceed on his journey to fame and fortune. Roger decided that a three-year training under General Barker with Regiment 2 of the Wool Corps would be sufficient to enable him to go back to Haverhill and le ad his people on to victory against their hated enemy, the Moth Miller. While in training Roger made frequent week- end and mid-week trips down the river in his canoe. He was a cozy chap and never told his fellow-soldiers the reason, but we could always guess. We have heard that there are a good many fair maidens in Haverhill. It must be that our gallant sol- dier has fallen for one. Roger, we wish you luck in love as well as war. Roger was one of the charter members of the Purity League and has done a lot to better the morals of the soldiers. Roger won many medals for being a Knight of Porky Hoellrich ' s Round Table and was slightly wounded in the Battle of Picker Sticks which was fought between Paddy Sngden ' s Shuttle Chasers and Hank Ply ' s Bobbin Boys. Roger is about to leave us, boys of the training camp, and we all wish him luck after he joins the Regulars, in the Textile Army. Gi THE PICKOUT 1927 Text 2, 3 SAMUEL JACK SOMERS Brookline, Massachusetts : SAMMY JACK KID BEN Interfraternity Council 2, 3 Interfraternity Secretary-Treasurer 3 Smiling Sam, matriculated to the Lowell Tex- tile School from the famed English High School, of Boston, home of many an athletic hero. Like many others before him, he found the new alma mater only a three-sport school. Hence, his ability as a marksman and his experience as a swimmer (the two sports from which he became the possessor of a great many medals and prizes) were in no way to add more laurels to the new school. Sam decided to concentrate on the wool end of the game and has been very successful. One reason for so doing was probably because his brother Ben was so fortunate in Eddie ' s course. And what Ben could accomplish, Sam also should be able to accomplish. Then again, the special course in Bridge indulged in by many of the students, could not be resisted. Here at least Sam was in his prime, having become very proficient indeed. So much so, that he is quite an authority to some of the lower classmen. Possessing one of those school girl complexions, or the skin you love to touch, Sam naturally finds himself a lion among women. So at present, he can be found as one of the younger leaders of the social set in Brookline, entertaining at parties, bridges and dances. And many a shoe has marked the beat Of his clever dancing feet. With the graduating class of 1927, Lowell Textile is sending forth another well trained student who will no doubt, take a commanding position in the wool industry. With his ability to make and keep friends, Sam should have a great future. So hitch your wagon to a star, and aim high, as we all wish you the best of luck.

C. 3, 4 Lunch Club 4 After running the gamut of preparatory schools, the last of which, we believe, was Mount St. Mary ' s in Maryland, Jerry came up to Lowell, looked over the school and the local stock, and, like Jimmy Gallagher, is still hanging on . Jerry is a man about whom volumes might have been written. He was capable of either ex tremely carefree or extremely serious demeanor, and he possessed a dry sense of humor that his fellow beaker- jugglers found most enjoyable. A firm believer in the adage Haste makes waste, Jerry proceeded in a leisurely manner throughout his course — oftentimes in so leisurely a manner that progress was imperceptible — but he meant well enough. Strange as it may seem, he went out for and made a football letter during his sophomore year, just to prove that he could do it. We know that Jerry is capable enough, and as his forte seems to have been Dye Lab, we expect to hear more of him along those lines later. 63 THE PICKOUT 1927 THOMAS JOSEPH TARPEY Somerville, Massachusetts tom tarpo mouzze ' Class Basketball 1, 2 German Club 1 Local Research Council 4 Senior Class Editor Pickout 4 ' tarp bright eyes cleat holes ' Class Football 1, 2 A.

He has made a great start as a research chemist and it has been nothing unusual to find him all messed up in beakers, flasks, and condensations, C attempting to apply the principles of Physical Chemistry to Organic Chemistry. His eyes seem to have an attraction for the fe opposite sex of late, and these so-called bridge m parties that he talks about might be looked into - — X ' J  M M| with surprising results; but Tom can be forgiven, due to the fact that he commuted for two years and therefore got a late start. Of late Tom has been having a very peculiar illness which the Doc claims is nervous indigestion, but those who know him think otherwise. It has been said to be love because of the fact that it struck him shortly after he started attending Normal School Socials. (Looks as though M. R. is out of luck.) Tom should have no trouble climbing the ladder to success, so go to it, Tom, with the best of luck for a happy and successful future. 64 THE PICKOUT 1927 BYRON OSMOND WAITE Livermore Falls, Maine by Class Football 1, 2 May we present Byron O. Waite, the shining light of our Cotton Department, and the joy of Caesar Woodbury ' s heart. Yes, gentle reader, it is none other than our Byron, Maine ' s answer to How to restore the Textile Industry . When we entered Textile, we did not, at first, recognize the unassuming chap as a genius. How- ever, it was not long before the demand for By ' s home work nigh exceeded the supply, and in the morning the line in the T. S. A. room was three deep waiting for the privilege of comparing with By ' s work. We might mention as his greatest achievement his working of a thesis with that Southern gentle- man, Carolina Savage. Outside of arguments as to who did the most work, By got along exceedingly well with his partner-in-crime. His perseverance and ability for hard work are sure to net him something- more than a mere Overseer ' s job, and he leaves us with our best wishes for success. 65 THE PICK OUT 1927 EDWARD LAWRENCE W I N G A T E, Jr. Maiden, Massachusetts on ed EDDIE cutie A.

When Eddie first arrived in town via the B. and M. he was immediately acclaimed Mr. Lowell by a momentous vote taken among the female help of several of the bigger and better local mills. The dance floor that has not as yet been caressed by Edward ' s gliding pedal extremities is still but in the Yet Mr. Wingate has covered a broad field. Class offices have enticed him galore, and a better politician never stumbled thru the portals of L.T. S. One of these brainy social biitterflies, you might call him. When the week-ends arrived, Ed could be counted on to disappear and Salem gained what Lowell lost. That love ' s labor was lost, as when Wingate was caught in the box-car romance, has not yet come out in the wash, but time will tell. And now that we are about to miss one who has made such a success of his career as a student, let us eulogize this genius for all time. So here ' s to Edward Lawrence Wingate, scholar and gentleman. When he goes to his grave, may he have many followers who will weep copiously and wail. And when St. Peter calls a meeting of the Angels, may there be few blackballs cast on the name of Wingate. But to return to this life, we all know that Ed just can ' t help making good in the commerical world, for amongst other things, he has relatives in the textile business. 66 THE PICKOUT 1927 KENNETH LEROY WOODBURY Haverhill, Massachusetts KEN A. S. M. E. 2, 3, 4 Since he commuted from Haverhill in all except his senior year, Lowell did not grow to know Ken as well as it might have. He was quiet and un- assuming, but he sawed wood and as a result was always among the leaders when the yellow slips put in their appearance. Because he com- muted, he was not able to put the time into outside activities that he might have, but during his sen- ior year he showed that he might have developed into a varsity basketball man. We suspect he led a double life, that he held out on the fair sex in Lowell. We are merely intimating this, however, on the ground that he seemed quite cognizant of their ways. We do not intimate that he will be successful in his chosen field — we can feel sure of that.

An eventful date, and one of the most outstanding for 19 28, as on that day we embarked in our college career. Onthatday the members of the classof 1928, ' tilthen completely separated, were connected into a continuous twisted strand, called Freshmen. How good the strand was, even Eddie could not then tell, but in this short history we will endeavor to do so. That morning we straggled up to school in small groups, found our places, struggled with our schedules, signed on the dotted line, and became members of Lowell Textile. After this we were at the Sophs ' mercy. Disorganized and en- camped upon unfamiliar ground we were forced to surrender. Our captors marched us to the court yard and forced us to take off our shoes, roll up our trousers, turn our coats inside out, and form a line. Then we were made to march to the square. This march was the first occasion for our outbreak against the Sophs. At the Seniors ' suggestion and aid we broke and ran; some escaped, some regretted! We reached the square and were formally introduced to Textile ' s official time piece, Page ' s clock. Of course it was only natural that some of us should ascend the clock, cheer for the Sophs and thank them for our interesting entertainment. Shoes, shoes, — all over the square; we were allowed to recover our (?) property. Next day we began our real work in earnest. All met the instructors and learned the location of the various rooms and labs. President Eames welcomed us and we felt we had become a part of the school. A few nights later, Carolina and his boys got a jump on the Sophs by changing the numerals on the rocks. The usual battle of painting and erasing took place ' til both sides wearied of the wade to mid-river. We slowly began to organize and under Feinberg and Perry, plans for the banquet and methods of kidnap were discussed. Both came off successfully; the former stands as one of the high lights of our first year. In sports we showed we could give a good account of ourselves. Unfortunately we lost the interclass football and basketball games, the former on an unlucky fluke, but each time we went down fighting. 1928 sent representatives to every team, organization, and function in college. Our first year ' s officers were, President, John Harper; Vice-President, Lu Morrill; Treasurer, Jim Corbett; Secretary, Carolina Savage, and Sergeant-at-arms, Frank Bastow. To them is due in large measure the fine record that the class of 1928 made its first year. When we returned as Sophomores there were quite a few missing on roll call. 75 THE PICKOUT 1927 However, remembering last year, we gave the Freshmen an emphatic welcome, voted by all to be the best ever, and the best because unfortunately, it was to be the last. Every Freshman entertained that morning will remember it for some time to come. This year our Thirteen Club fell down on the job, and the glory of the parade was somewhat dimmed by the club ' s action on caps and Freshman discipline. We did, however, easily win in every class game and proved to them beyond a doubt that in its entirety the class of 1928 was vastly superior to the infants. Under cover of Text night at the Opera House, when Freshman rules were off, and through the aid of Jimmie Dow, the Freshmen held their banquet (outside the city) and by underhand methods enticed our President from his home and kid- napped him. Perhaps we should not blame them so much as their chauffeuring confederate. They won physically but lost morally. In this, our second year at Textile, the class of 1928 again proved its worth. It was well represented in all athletics, organizations, councils, and most import- antly on the honor roll. Finals struck us all too soon, but we weathered out helm, and came through not much the worse for wear. Those guiding us through our second year were: President, Dick Burtt, Vice-President, Jim Corbett, Secretary, Larry Gottschalk; Treasurer, Harold Noyes. In the fall familiar faces greeted us again. Our ranks were much thinned due to the automatic transfer of our three-year men to the senior class. Our officers this year are: President, John Slack, Vice-President, Kurt Reinhold; Secretary, John Westaway; Treasurer, Cliff Sampson; Executive Council, Dick Burtt. Our small numbers did not prevent 1928 from being well represented in all activities. As this is written 1928 still holds top place on the honor roll. Mid-years are passed and we are still holding together, with the best part of the year before us, in which coming functions are largely composed of Juniors. 1928 may well be proud of its record to date. If the same spirit and determina- tion continues throughout the senior year we will be able to leave behind in L. T. S. a very creditable record. 70 5umor Clasisi Canbtoates for Begrees NAME COURSE Anderson, Harry Eric VI Birdsall, Edgar Wallace IV Burns, Robert IV Corbett, James Francis IV Fasig, Paul Leon - IV Fitzgerald, John Francis IV GODDARD, LANGDON WaRREN VI GOTTSCHALCK, LAWRENCE VI Holbrook, Ralph Wentworth IV KlLLHEFFER, JOHN VlNCENT IV Konieczny, Henry IV Lindsley, Walter Coburn IV Logan, George Leslie VI McGuire, Edward Perkins VI McKittrick, Raymond Wellington VI Osborne, George Go rdon VI Parigian, Harold Hrant IV Reinhold, Kurt Herman VI Rodalvicz, Francis Rudolph IV Russell, William Samuel, Jr. VI Sampson, Clifford William IV Slack, John Taylor, 2nd VI Storey, Alvin Briggs VI Tanguay, Gerard IV Tarshis, Elias Aaron IV Ward, George Chester IV Warren, Eva Maybelle IV Westaway, John Chester VI Wingate, Edward Lawrence, Jr. VI home address 39 Daniels St., Lowell, Mass. 718 Main St., Southbridge, Mass. 145 Pleasant St., Easthampton, Mass.

Great and powerful were our numbers. We found that we ourselves were about to become the goats of a Freshman parade. This would never do for the class of ' 29. The Sophs had a battle on their hands. Nothing could hold these freshies who left astounded sophs on the floor as they pushed their way to the great open spaces. About twenty or less of the class escaped, the recaptured forming the small Fresh- men Parade of 1925. These men were marched to the court yard after removing their footwear and placing all such in a wheelbarrow. Here the Parade started: trousers rolled up, shirts out, coats inside out, down to the square we went. At Page ' s clock, sore from impressing paddles and covered with overripe fruit which came from no place in particular, some of our number climbed said clock and sold the square to the audience. Other stunts followed, after which our shoes were dumped, to be scrambled for, and the Sophs dismissed us with a shower of kind words and soft fruit. Tuesday, September 29, 1925 In the Chemistry lecture room, today, the class was honored by a welcoming address from President Charles H. Eames. The address was short and to the point but the man who gave it made us find in him the one who was to be our closest friend and adviser throughout our college life. Honor to whom honor is due. 1929 will always honor him. The afternoon found us purchasing Frosh hats and rules, which we were informed were not to be broken or disregarded until mid-years. These rules, we hope, are the only ones we ' ve broken, but we certainly did a good job breaking these. Wait, the Sophs were not to be trifled with. Friday, October 2, 1925 Co-eds enter the class! We inspect the co-eds closer to find they ' re not co-eds at all, but some of our number whom the Sophs out of kindness of heart wished to save the price of a hair cut. Thursday, October 8, 1925 First class meeting. Shh! (Secret) to arrange for our banquet. 81 THE PICKOUT 1927 Friday, October 9, 1925 The Sophs elected officers for us by the paper in hat method. Monday, October 19, 1925 The banquet. Where are those Sophs? None can be seen except one abject mortal, known as the Sophomore president, sitting subdued, balancing a Freshmen cap on his head. President Eames opened the banquet with an introductory address and the meal proceeded unmolested, breaking up in time to allow the election of officers for the class before the boys attended Text night at the Opera House. Monday, December 14, 1925 The class of ' 29 put over their first social in great style. A large crowd at- tended and even the Sophs had a good time. February 12, 1926 The Freshman issue of the Text came out today and a great deal of credit is due Editor Shrigley and Business Manager Robbins for their good work. Anyday, Inbetweentimes, 1926 The Freshman went down to defeat in both the Sophomore-Freshman games but went down fighting. In varsity sports 1929 was well represented. Many members wore the coveted T . September 29, 1926 Due to a faculty request the Freshmen Parade was abandoned, despite the fact that one Soph on the day planned for the Parade held ten or fifteen of the Freshies in Southwick hall all by his lonesome, awaiting the verdict of the faculty meeting. September 30, 1926 The Frosh received their red and black bonnets today and do look so sweet in them. After reading the rules given out with them one pale-faced Frosh went so far as to request Sophomore permission at noon time to go home to lunch. October 2, 1926 Freshman fools! ! To think of changing the numerals of the rocks. Riding they did go. Back went the numerals to glorious 1929. THE PICKOUT 1927 October 27, 1926 The Freshman tea party. After an attempt to hold a banquet in the lunch room right under the nose of the Sophs, 1930 returned our vice-president through an error of judgment (as to our whereabouts). The Freshmen then retreated to the dumps . Deciding that, even for them, the odor was too strong they made their way to Marie ' s down town, where they conjured the idea of eating a dinner, naming this a banquet and phoning the police for protection. The police and 1929 arrived at the same time but ' 29 held schemers. Obtaining a truck of large size the Sophs trapped the Frosh in a back alley while the latter were attempting to leave their tea party. Needless to say the Freshmen were paraded then and there. A stiff night ride followed and the Frosh members were allowed to digest their dinner, a pied, from Tyngsboro to Lowell. February 10, 1927 The Freshmen went down to heavy defeat in the Y gym when their team was lacking 20 points of the Sophs ' score. In this the second year of the class of 1929 the class has shown itself to be well represented in all athletics, organizations, councils and scholarship. Long live ' 29 ! ' 29 Forever. 83 NAME COURSE Anderson, Alfred Ballard VI Balch, Ralph Herman VI Bauer, Harold Conrad • III Beardsell, Arthur Herrick VI Bergeron, Alvin Wilfred IV Biggi, Harrison Andrew III Billings, Borden Dickinson III BoTTOMLEY, JOHN III Buzzell, Harry Saville VI Campbell, William Malcolm III Coffey, Daniel Joseph III Davidson, Sidney III de Jong, Simon Sylvain II Ellis, James Oliver VI Evans, Paul Richard II Fairweather, John Ross VI Folsom, Edward Ellsworth VI Fredrickson, Charles Joseph IV Garrity, Edward Augustus IV Gaudet, Walter Urban II Hale, Everett Lane VI Haynes, Amos Kempton IV Hetherman, Patrick Joseph IV Holt, Lawrence Currier VI Howorth, Harmon VI Hurd, Ira Swain IV Hyman, Wolfred II Hyun, Chirl VI Johnstone, Edwin Parker, Jr. IV Jones, Mellor Adair IV Joslin, Harold Wheeler VI Larter, Edward Alan VI MacKinnon, Howard Arthur III McG ibbon, James Greig IV McIntosh, William Petrie, Jr. IV.

Dear Cliff : — In answer to your letter requesting a resume of the activities of the class of 1930, 1 am sending the following remarks. On September 23, 1926, the class of ' 30 entered the Lowell Textile School. Upon our arrival, we were ushered into the library where a half-hour was spent registering. When th is ritual was completed, each novice received a program (if it may be so called) which arranged events, talks, meetings, and what not, until classes should begin. This period was called Orientation Week. The program was so arranged that we hardly had a chance to find out where the Commodore was situated, or any other of the more imposing buildings of the city. On the Cook ' s Tour around the city, all these places were pointed out. Another of the features of the week was a welcome talk by President Eames. His talk made us feel that we were really welcome. However, it was the Sophomores who truly gave us a rousing welcome when they arrived. We were gratified and much relieved when it was announced that there would be no Freshman Parade, as this was to be one of the features on the Sophomore program. Needless to say, they were quite dis- appointed. The first few weeks of college were a veritable whirlpool, at least for us. First, we were hazed by the Sophs, then our instructors added to our troubles by assigning long lessons for the following days. When the night air was invigorating the Sophs got their Fords out of their glass cases and took us for long rides, from which we were allowed to walk back. All too soon the Caps and Rules arrived, which caused much trouble, both financially and otherwise; mostly otherwise, because the Sophomores were on the watch for Freshmen who would dare disobey their orders or come to the campus without the regulation headgear. The first five weeks examination came and went causing little commotion, except when the marks came out. About this time we were beginning to be able to discern the other members of the class from the upper-classmen, therefore it was decided that the Freshmen should hold their annual banquet. After two false alarms, the authorities decided to hold the banquet in the lunch room. However, this proved inexpedient because we 89 THE PICKOUT 1927 found out that the Sophs knew more than we thought they did (concerning the banquet). The location was quickly changed to Marie ' s where the meal was unin- terrupted, although the cops had their hands full with the Sophs. Most of us escaped from the scene of action by clambering over several buildings, and then descending to Prescott Street. The banquet was pronounced a complete success by everyone except the Sophs. The caps and restrictions were discarded and we became full-fledged members of L. T. S. At this time the class officers were chosen, Ben Meady was elected President; Bill Colby, Vice-President; Pop Stephens, Secretary, and Kirke Dunlap, Treasurer. On November 29th, the Freshmen won the annual football game by a score of 14-7. While there was no spectacular playing, yet the sides were very evenly matched so the game was interesting at least to the onlookers. The Freshman Dance, which came the night before Christmas vacation, was another triumph for the class of ' 30. The assembly room, where we first met, was transformed into a beautifully decorated pavillion. There were a goodly number at the dance and all seemed to enjoy themselves. Christmas vacation, all too short, came and went and we returned to our studies to recuperate. February 10th was the night of the Freshman-Sophomore basketball game. Sad to relate the Sophs won this by a score of 29 to 3. The superior knowledge and ability of the Varsity men finally told and they won by a slight margin. The boys are being initiated into their respective fraternities now. Let us hope that they will remember that Where there is union there is strength, and hold the class of 1930 together more firmly than ever. In closing, I want to mention how grateful we, the class of 1930, are for all the help and advice that Professor James G. Dow has given us since we arrived. With- out him, we would have wandered far astray, but always he held us on the right track. We deeply appreciate all that he has done for us. So ends this resume of the activities of the class of 1930. Let us hope that we will be as successful in the future as we have been in the past.

Coast Guard Academy Bates Worcester Tech 20 6 12 G 49 44 98 THE PICKOUT 19 7 1926 Jfoottiall Reason The 1926 team was considered a success since it broke even in the number of games played, having three victories, three defeats and one tie game. By the failure of By Bentley to return to school, the team was without a captain until mid-season. Larry Guild acted capably as captain until injured. Pete Peterson was then unanimously elected by the squad to lead the team for the remainder of the season. Pete is very popular and made a fine leader. The first string backfield consisted of Jimmie Corbett, quarterback; Larry Guild, Charlie Fredrickson and Bob Parkin, halfbacks; and Mickey Walker, fullback. Corbett played a stellar game at quarter and was never removed from a game. He kicked several pretty dropkicks during the season. Mickey Walker proved to be the scoring ace and also starred in the kicking department. His speed around the ends always thrilled the spectators. Parkin and Fredrickson were always reliable when a few yards needed to be gained for a first down. Larry Guild suffered a painful leg injury after the first game and was out of the game until near the end of the season. Glidden, a freshman, shows promise of a coming line plunger and Dick Burtt was valuable in several games. Joe Lussier showed plenty of pluck and fight but was handicapped by a bad ankle most of the season. Sam Battles was another one on the injured list but played a snappy game after returning to the lineup. Textile ' s line was built around Gross, a freshman, who put up a whale of a game at center all season. Parigian, Jim Brosnan and Perk McGuire stood the brunt of the attacks on center in the guard position. Brosnan, while new at the game, shows great promise and is only a freshman. Another new man, Reedy, starred in the tackle position along with Captain Peterson. Hurd, Connorton and Harry Biggi also played an aggressive and heads-up game inside the ends. Bill Brosnan and John Shea were the regular ends, Johnny being shifted from the backfield. Bill was his old self once more and in on every play. Hale played in several games but his weight handicapped him considerably. With the loss of only six letter men out of twenty-two, prospects for next year ' s team seem not at all discouraging. Jimmie Corbett will captain the team and Bob Matthews is to be manager. textile 0; uft£ 20 The Textile team playing their first game of the season, at Medford, were greatly outweighed and were forced to defeat due mainly to lack of substitutes and the sensational runs of Ellis, Tufts ' sophomore backfield star. 99 THE PICKOUT 1927 Jimmie Corbett, Walker, Peterson and Gross put up a fine battle for Textile. Walker ' s kicking against a strong wind was superb. A pass in the final quarter from Corbett to Brosnan covered 28 yards of territory and only the final whistle prevented Textile from scoring. textile 7; J)obe Manb In a hard fought game on the Textile Campus, the fighting Textile team de- feated R. I. State and returned to the victory column. In the second quarter, Corbett heaved a twenty-yard pass to Walker who dashed twenty-five yards to the only touchdown of the game. Corbett kicked the point after touchdown. Fredrickson, Corbett, Walker and Gross excelled for Textile while Bragetti and Stevens starred for the visiting team. textile 3; Colbp 6 The veteran and heavy Colby team managed to squeeze out a win over Textile on their home field. Textile outplayed Colby during the first half and the only score was a pretty twenty-five-yard drop kick by Jimmie Corbett. In the third quarter, the Colby offense got started and scored a touchdown after a long march. The try for point was blocked. The last quarter saw Textile again outfighting the Colby eleven but the neces- sary punch was gone to put across the winning points. The backfield trio of Fredrickson, Corbett and Walker was the big noise while the whole line displayed strength. textile 13; jti. 31. % In perhaps the slowest and most colorless game of the season, Textile easily defeated M. I. T. The score should have been and could have been three times as great if it had not been for the consistent manner in which the Textile backfield fumbled the ball. One redeeming feature was a fifty -yard runback of a punt by Mickey Walker. He also scored the other touchdown by circling right end and dashing about ten yards. The entire line played defense well but the offense was not so consistent. textile 14; Coagt uarb cabemp Evidently with most of the fumbling and sluggishness displayed in the M. I. T. game gone from their systems, the Textile footballers played a heads-up and smooth game against the New London Coast Guards. 100 THE PICKOUT 1927 The visitors were never within Textile ' s forty-yard stripe and were outplayed from beginning to end. Charlie Fredrickson and Mickey Walker were very much in evidence throughout, each one scoring a touchdown. Corbett kicked both points after touchdown. Bob Parkin was there on plunges and Gross made plenty of tackles. The whole team played exceptionally well, however, and it would be unfair to give any one individual more credit than another. textile 6; pate 12 A hard luck defeat for Textile! It was a hard fought battle all the way, Bates doing all of her scoring in the first period through flashy runs by Charlie Ray and White. The officiating was the poorest witnessed for some time in this section of the country. This is not an alibi for defeat but a fact recognized by both teams. Textile was the heavier loser on penalties amounting to exactly 100 yards. In the second half, Textile twice marched brilliantly within Bates ' 15-yard line, only to be repulsed by 15-yard penalties. Walker scored our only touchdown on a pass from Corbett in the second quarter. textile 6; Worcester 6 In our biggest, best and hardest fought game of the year we broke even with out traditional rivals, Worcester Tech. Both teams were on edge and the game was close, with Textile playing a little better grade of football. Jimmie Corbett ' s toe accounted for Textile ' s six points with drop-kicks in the third and fourth periods. Worcester did not score until late in the final quarter when their ace back, Con- verse, advanced the ball so that Whittemore could plunge over for the touchdown. Corbett was Textile ' s outstanding star. Not only were his offensive efforts of the highest caliber, but his defensive work was also outstanding. On several oc- casions he was the only man in the way of a Worcester touchdown and he never failed to bring down his man. Bob Parkin gave all he had towards victory and Charlie Fredrickson pulled off some sensational plunges. Peterson and Biggi might be picked as starring in the line but every one of the linemen fought hard from beginning to end. Note: Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Cleary for the manner in which he handled and developed the team into a winning aggregation. He has the whole-hearted support of the student body and we regret that he is not to return next year, he having accepted a coaching position at Harvard. Mention should also be made of our loyal alumnus, Edward A. Bigelow, who so generously looked after the team during their stay in Worcester and who provided sweaters for this year ' s T men. 101 2 H PQ H O O fa s eg m u as v c « g VQ5 o bc o £ .S C £ OB,? 1 a| 8 S SO  Si; «•- K. ™ «2 _r l °fa s i § § ■ § 1 a SS 1 g basketball Pasifeetball Officers; F.

But when the closeness of many of the games is considered along with the difficulties under which the team worked, the record compiled is not such a bad one. Only two of the defeats which were registered over Textile can really be called bad ones — the one against Northeastern and against Providence College. A serious blow to the team ' s chances was struck when it was learned that Dan Coffey, stellar guard of last year ' s aggregation, would not be able to participate in any sports for the year, due to an operation during the Thanksgiving Vacation. Burke and Bellemere failed to return to college and new forwards had to be used in their places. Bill Smith was lost thru graduation. Captain Kenney ' 27, completed his fourth and best year for Textile on the court and while playing a guard position, was the high point scorer of the team for the season. Benney McKay ' 27, playing his second year as regular center, displayed good basketball at times and finished as second high point scorer of the team. Les Logan ' 28, a two-year veteran, played left forward position regularly and although not up to his best game during the first part of the season, came back stronger towards the end of the season and finished third in the scoring. Johnno Slack ' 28, held down the other forward position and while not a flashy player, played a heads-up game throughout the season. Hank Greenwood ' 27, played the right guard position with Red and proved himself a brilliant defense man. He was also able to drop in a number of pretty floor goals during the season. . Bill Brosnan ' 27, was first string substitute guard and filled in creditably on several occasions. Harry Biggi ' 29, and Dick Burtt ' 28, also got into several games. Jimmie Corbett ' 28, played some at forward and Ken Woodbury ' 27, jumped center for part of the playing time, all of these men showing promise for the future. 105 F. G. F.

The game was nip and tuck all the way but Lowell held the upper hand for the most part. Textile forged to the front in the last few seconds of play to win by one point. Captain Kenney and Greenwood played well throughout. textile 15; Jfttcfjtmrg 21 In the second game of the year, Textile dropped a tough game to Fitchburg Normal, after leading 11-2 at half time. The first half was all Textile, Fitchburg failing to register from the floor. However, in the last period, the visitors uncorked some wild shooting that swung the verdict in their favor while Textile did not pos- sess the staying power. Carrigan and Fitzgerald played some snappy basketball for the visiting aggregation and Red Kenney played his usual good game. textile 18; Mott )ta ttxn 38 On January 19th, Northeastern with a veteran team invaded the local court and gave Textile the worst beating of the year thus far. Bill Kobera made some wonderful shots for Northeastern and Raffone also played a high brand of basket- ball. At half time they led at 19-10 and gradually increased the lead. Kenney and Slack were the big guns for Textile. textile 23; Upsala College 32 Two days later, Upsala College of Kenilworth, N. J., was entertained here and incidentally hung up their fifth straight victory. The game was fast throughout and the decision was in doubt until Upsala ran wild in the third period. The last quarter 106 THE PICKOUT 1927 was all Textile, Upsala scoring b ut one shot from the floor. The rally was not long- enough, however, to overcome the visitors ' lead and Textile had to be content with the short end of a 32-23 score. textile 31; jfflas . Jgormal rt 21 After three straight defeats, Textile came back on the 29th to win a fast game from Massachusetts Normal Arts by a score of 31-21. Had Textile played the game of which they are capable, the score would have been much higher. McKay was the big gun for the local team, bagging six double deckers. Kenney ' s three long ones from the center were also high spots in the game. Textile held the lead throughout the game and led at half time 16-9. The third quarter was the only even period of the game, each team scoring but five points. In the last period Textile started a rally with the quarter about half over, that swept the Boston boys off their feet and al- lowed Textile to go on for a win. r textile 21; WL. . Coasrt uarb 31 In the first trip of the year, the New London Coast Guards reversed the score of Textile ' s latest win and Textile had to be content with the short end of a 31-21 score. The game played by the Kenneyites in the New London Armory was one of the best shown this year. The first quarter showed the Textile team at its best and they jumped into an 11-3 lead. Captain Kenney was then forced to leave the game due to an ankle injury and the team seemed to be demoralized. At half time the sailors led 17-15. Starting the second half, Textile knotted the count, but the home team then started a spurt that carried them out of danger. textile 17; $robtbence 25 In a game at first marred by roughness, Providence College defeated Textile in an interesting exhibition of basketball. Greenwood and Captain Allen of Providence were ejected from the game in the first quarter due to a fist fight. The game was close all the way with Spud Murphy starring for Providence with seven floor goals. Captain Kenney led the Textile team with eight points. tEexttie 19; JSortfjeasitern 35 In the return game with Northeastern University in the Boston Y. M. C. A., Textile put up a better brand of basketball than was shown on the occasion of the first game in Lowell. The game started of with a bang when Textile ran up seven points before Northeastern knew what it was all about. They found themselves 107 THE PICKQUT 1927 soon after, however, and aided by the crack shooting of Captain Kobera, were soon in the lead to stay. Kenney and Logan played well for Textile as did Greenwood who popped a couple of nice ones from the floor. textile 18; iit$ 32 As has been true in most of the games this season, Textile played a strong game for the first half and then seemed to be unable to locate the basket during the final half. At half time the game was tied up at twelve all but towards the latter part of the game, Ellis of Tufts shot with unerring accuracy and put Tufts out of danger. Captain Kenney played a whale of a game and accounted for eleven of Textile ' s total. textile 24; JPo ton Untoersiitp 32 Textile showed some real basketball in this game and had the strong B. U. team worried throughout the game. The half ended 14-10 in favor of B. U. and was an exceptionally fast game all the way. Cohen was the only man on the opposing team who could indent Textile ' s basket with any regularity, scoring five field goals. Kenney and Logan each scored six points for Textile and Johnno Slack came through with two goals from the floor during the last half. textile 31; J9eto Petrforb 28 After playing four games away from home the Textile team returned to the local court and won over New Bedford Textile before the Rogers Hall girls by the score of 31-28. The score was tied at the half but the Textile team came back with plenty of spirit the sceond half to win handily. Captain Kenney scored twelve points, putting up a fine game, and Logan was not far behind with nine points. The Tripp brothers were the big guns for the visiting aggregation, rolling up sixteen points. textile 19; Clark 20 Clark was lucky to get away with a one-point victory on their home court, the struggle being hectic all the way. Textile put up a game fight and missed many hard luck shots. Shannahan, who is the high scorer of the Worcester college, was a veritable flash on the floor and pulled several clever shots. McKay played one of his best games of the year and Logan aided in the scoring but was weak on foul shots which would probably have turned the tide of victory. 108 THE PICK OUT 1927 textile 17; Jgortoid) 25 Textile played the final home game of the season and was defeated by Norwich University in a rough and hard played game. The Vermont team presented a quintet of heavyweights and this fact aided them in piling up their victory margin. Kenney starred for Textile and Hank Greenwood played a sweet game in the guard position. The home-game dances which were inaugurated by Manager Ryan, terminated with this game and proved themselves to have been a great success. textile 19; $robibence 65 Expecting a close game at Providence, Textile was both surprised and humili- ated. The team simply could not get going and meanwhile Providence was piling up her mass of points. The Providence boys seemed to be able to get them from any and all parts of the court with uncanny accuracy. Wheeler scintillated for Provi- dence and the only redeeming feature of Textile ' s play was the work of Captain Kenney. textile 25; OTorceSter 40 Before a crowd of over a thousand people, Textile lost the final game of the sea- son at Worcester. The first half was played at terrific speed, with the lead seesaw- ing back and forth all during the period. The last half was all Worcester and they pulled away into a commanding lead. Kenney ' s long shots gave the crowd a thrill, as usual, and McKay also pulled some gems. In fact, only one of Textile ' s floor goals was at short range. Harris and Gross were the stars of the Worcester combina- tion. 109 Of - H W M ■etj ' Tt fflWMW wW 1 pasiebaU fttcer£ Thomas Joy William F. Brosnan Joseph Duffy Lester H.

The team, however, was not as poor as it would seem; they played good ball at times and were always playing against great odds. The schedule did not contain an easy game, several of the colleges played being entirely out of Textile ' s class and they should never have appeared on our schedule. Three of the games were lost by one-run margins and one game was absolutely handed to the opposing team on an extremely doubtful decision by the home team ' s referee. Captain Tom Joy was the outstanding star of the team, leading the batting- averages with a fat .357 percentage and being the one and only seasoned pitcher on the squad. Harry Biggi, Benny McKay and Hank Burke assisted on the firing line but Biggi proved to be the only one who could do a creditable job in Tom ' s absence. The others mentioned did good work as relief pitchers, however. Biggi was a valuable man to the team since he filled the catching assignment while not hurling. Red Kenney, Bob Frost and Elliot Keach were the only other players above the .300 mark in batting. Red had the highest fielding percentage among the infielders with a first baseman ' s average of .963. Les Logan had a slight advantage over the other outer gardeners with a fielding average of .917 and led in that department. Hank Burke was elected captain at the close of the season but did not return to school in the fall. Cliff Sampson is the new manager. Benny McKay was elected the new captain at the opening of the 1927 training season. textile 0; QTuftsi 4 The first game of the season was played at Medford under inclement weather conditions. Textile was weak with the stick, Burke and Steward garnering Tex- tile ' s two lone bingies. ' Tom Joy pitched a fine game, holding Tufts to six hits. Liston and Kennedy hit well for Tufts and Fulton looked good at shortstop. 113 THE PICKOUT 19 27 textile 15; Wlt hpan 16 As the score indicates, this game was one of the weirdest games played for some time on the Wesleyan diamond. Wesleyan secured a nine-run lead in the first inning and led all the way. Textile pulled a potent rally in the ninth, scoring ten runs and coming within an ace of tying the score. With one out in the ninth, a Wesleyan freshman was sent in and stopped the rally by striking out two of Tex- tile ' s dependables, Joy and Kenney. textile 8; Crtnttp 9 The second game of the Southern trip was a one-run margin of victory for Trinity, the contest being close ' throughout. The score was tied in the ninth with two out. A Trinity man attempted to steal home and got there aided by the inter- ference of the batter which was plain enough for anyone to see; but the umpire ruled otherwise and was on his way home before Textile knew what it was all about and could remonstrate. Joy, Coffey, McKay and Logan all hit for extra bases and the work around the keystone sack by Frost and Steward was of high order. textile 2; Wlanotoa 17 Nothing much can be said about this game except that Textile was playing far out of its class and a substitute pitcher was being used in order to save Joy for the Northeastern game. textile 9; J2ortt)ea£tern 4 Textile displayed the best form thus far in the season and collected eleven base wallops off Somerville, Northeastern ' s hurler. Joy pitched a heady game and collected a double out of three trips to the plate. Biggi and McKay also accounted for a two-bagger apiece. Mader was the batting star for Northeastern, registering a double and a single out of two attempts. textile 3; Ponton Umbensitp 4 B. U. defeated Textile on a scratch single in the ninth by O ' Brien in the feature event of B. U. ' s Field Day at Riverside Park. Harry Biggi knocked out two doubles and Hank Burke poled a double and a single. Bob Frost tied the score at three all in the seventh with a circuit clout over the left field fence. 114 THE PICKOUT 1927 textile 0; pringftelb College 7 One bad inning spelled disaster for Textile ; at home once again for an exhibition game during the Spring House Parties. Tom Joy started on the mound but was without sufficient rest from the previous game with B. U. and was removed after six runs had been scored in the second inning. Benny McKay then took up the burden and had only one run scored on him during the remainder of the game. Lefty Beech pitched a great game for Springfield, holding Textile to four hits. ftufts; 2; Pate 10 This was the first game of the Maine Trip and was played in Lewiston. For four innings Textile completely outplayed Bates and were ahead in the run column. Then an old finger injury cropped out on Benny McKay, who had been going good, and wild pitches ensued. These pitches handed Bates six free runs and gave them the ball game. Textile 6; Colbp 13 At Waterville, a wild game was played in a wind that swept great clouds of dust across the diamond. The contest was featured by free hitting on both sides. Biggi pitched for Textile and poor support accounted for the majority of Colby ' s runs. Capt. Peabody clouted sensationally for Colby. textile 6; J$las acf)usiettsi gggtes; 3 Textile got sweet revenge for the previous season ' s football trouncing by soundly beating the Aggies in a hard-hitting contest at the Campus. In the first inning Captain Joy put the game on ice by poling a homer over Kitson Hall with Coffey and Kenney aboard the sacks. This put plenty of pep into the Textile team and they were not headed once during the game. Red Kenney was high man with the bat, collecting three safe blows out of four trips to the plate, including a double. 115 Belta Happa $fn Established in 1902 DELTA KAPPA PHI HOUSE gcftbe Chapter oll Alpha: Philadelphia Textile School Beta: Lowell Textile School Gamma: Rhode Island State School of Design Delta : New Bedford Textile School Alumni Chapter oll Boston New York Amsterdam New Bedford Philadelphia Providence 118 B Pm P-, PL, M «i H Q w bfi-3 - s c o 0.-3 ■a - - s ° c — P-5 a Ph s- B -J 4 O 4) r- • 3 S2 - c pa p-i aia, . a u O « t. c . aj aj ; i: Eh aj O p,-B „ Cng S-f 8 «S UM PQ em §.„- £™ T3H„ fflH rt e g..s is O 3 en C to to Cd 2 O -B £. 0) n S=§ 0) « ' o 41 S . - _Q O 0j SO C8 H r- ■o § ° Q tC - - ' - - w in o fl ' — = 4J -C f§ Cfi aJ V - I a S i; o o g o a «5 , x OQ Ct, Helta Uappa $t Established in 1902 Jfratre£ m Jfatultate LESTER W.

Yeaton, Adviser The purposes of the Textile Service Associations are manifold. At the present it is partially filling the need of a student council; the more members that are recruited, the more fully it will fill this need. Another important feature is its employment bureau which is attempting to find part time work for those who are working their way through college. This year it has escorted delegates of several outside groups through the buildings, thereby advertising our college. The entertainment committee has for its purpose the bringing of socials and entertainments to our assembly hall. Another committee on student prob- lems shows decidedly that the association leans toward a student council. The association is new under the present name, it having been an outgrowth of the now defunct Textile Christian Association. It has been an outstanding change for the better and we feel that the association is to become more powerful as time goes on. 139 E. ft. . ©rcfjesStra ORCHESTRA J5ar i ' flow: Carpenter, Anderson, MeKittrick, Cole, Orlauski.

THE PICK OUT 1927 g ome mw Running true to expectations, the Lowell Textile Players presented an excellent performance on Friday evening, April 30th, 1926, before approximately eighteen hundred people. From the parting of the curtains at eight-fifteen to the close of the third act, the audience was continually rocked by gales of laughter. Angus McKenzie and Jack Westaway handled the leads in a pleasing and most capable manner, Angus portraying the much-in-love youth to perfection and Jack giving an excellent impersonation of Miss Sylvia. Ed Bullard was ludicrous as the eccentric old professor, leaving little to be desired in his acting. John Harper made a top-notch middle-aged aunt, and Jimmy Corbett an excellent neighborhood gossip. Larry Guild, though his part was rather difficult, had his lines and his acting well in hand and did his usual good work. Among the newcomers to the Players, Skinner was very good as Judge Sanderson, and Bob Burns, as the General ' s (Larry Guild ' s) unwanted daugh- ter-in-law, furnished a touch of comedy in his efforts to leave his baby for Larry, much to Larry ' s annoyance. Hamlin and Robbins added to the humor of several situations as a grandmother and her daughter, neighbors and gadabouts both. Tom Joy played the Sheriff, and made a good job of it. The cast as a whole was well balanced, and everyone was entirely familiar with his lines and his business, due to the able and thorough coaching of Mr. Stanley James of the local stock company, and Professor Dow, Faculty Coach. Credit is also due to Joseph Crowe for his productive executive efforts; to MacArthur, stage manager, and his assistant, Tom Connors; to Godfrey, as bus- iness manager; to Mr. Fickett, as Faculty Adviser, and to the rest of the managerial staff in general. Between the second and third acts President Eames, on behalf of the Players, presented the Fraternity Cup to Phi Psi for farthest exceeding its quota in the sale of tickets. President MacArthur received the cup for the fraternity. After the performance Miner Doyle ' s orchestra, augmented to eighteen pieces, played for dancing until two o ' clock. 147 THE PICK O.UT 1927 1927 g f)0tn applesauce The play chosen as a vehicle for the Textile Players this year is Applesauce a three-act comedy by Barry Connors. The action centers around the efforts of Rollo Jenkins, self-made success and conscious of it, and Bill McAllister, irresponsible, universally popular, and penniless, to win the favor and the hand of Hazel Robinson, daughter of quibbling parents, who at first lean toward the successful Rollo but are finally won over by Bill, who oils the wheels with frequent and timely applications of applesauce . Necessary to the development of the plot are Matt McAllister, uncle of the sof tsoaping Bill, who is vexed to the utmost by his nephew ' s actions and who thoroughly disapproves of Bill ' s marrying Hazel; and Jennie Baldwin, a neighbor, a gossip and a Calamity Jane. The play is humorous throughout, but nevertheless remains true to life. The various parts offer excellent opportunities to the Players for first rate performances. The tentative cast, selected by Mrs. Isabel Gould Trumbull, who has been chosen to coach the production, is as follows: — Ma Robinson Walter Robbins ' 29 Pa Robinson L .W. Guild ' 27 Hazel Robinson J. C. Westaway ' 28 Mrs. Jennie Baldwin Ira Hurd ' 29 Matt McAllister Robert Burns ' 28 Bill McAllister J. W. Stewart ' 29 Rollo Jenkins J. F. Corbett ' 28 No play could be produced without an efficient management. This year ' s, which should prove just that, is: — J. V. Killheffer ' 28 General Manager B. Glickman ' 27 Business Manager Tom Connors ' 27 Stage Manager E. L. Wingate, Jr. ' 28 Ticket Manager E. E. Folsom, ' 29 Property Manager 148 Jfratermtp Social €bentsi Jftrst Appearance of tlfje ifefjiela ♦ The new national organ of Sigma Omega Psi Fraternity, The Shield, in the form of a six-page paper published monthly, made its initial appearance on April 5th, 1926. It is a welcomed addition to the organization and will become the bind- ing element in amalgamating all the widespread chapters into one homogeneous body. It is hoped that this paper will fill the long felt need of this rapidly expand- ing fraternity and act as a medium of expression of the views and sentiments of the fratres and various chapters. All problems of intense interest to the members as well as announcements of social affairs will occupy a large percentage of the pages. Contributions, also, of a lighter nature, as poems, and editorials on fraternalism, will be given ample space for publication. All in all, we can doff our hats to this new milestone of Sigma Omega Psi — The Shield. $J)t $si Contention The twenty-third annual convention of Phi Psi Fraternity was held under the auspices of Beta Chapter, April 22nd and 23rd, in Boston. The two new Southern Chapters, Eta at North Carolina State, and Theta at Georgia Tech, were as well represented as at the previous convention. From all reports these chapters have grown in size and prominence. The main part of the convention took place on Saturday. Starting in the morning Grand President Snyder called a business meeting. The meeting over, everybody adjourned to a special lunch in the Westminster. As the International Textile Exhibition was in Boston most of the luncheon group moved there to spend the afternoon. Among the Phi Psi men taking part in the exhibition were: Bill Hadley, Miggs Marble, Ted Ryan and Lom- bard, who were in charge of the exhibits of their respective companies Came then the great event --the banquet. At 7.00 o ' clock more than 200 men were on hand to absorb the wonderful menu prepared by the Westminster Hotel chef. Our delegates, McArthur, Godfrey, and Simpson were well entertained and returned with fine reports upon the doings at the convention. 149 THE PICKOUT 1927 Bella i appa $f)t panguet The twenty-fourth annual banquet of the Beta Chapter of Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity was held in Young ' s Hotel, Boston, Saturday night, April 24th. The popular Young ' s has been the scene of this annual affair for the last three years. A majority of the active members and a goodly number of the alumni were present to partake of the excellent menu, the most popular items of which were the big juicy steaks. A beautiful pair of gold cuff-links with the fraternity seal and cigars were at every plate. After all had partaken of their fill of food and drink, Toastmaster Tom Flynn ' 11, called upon the prominent alumni members for remarks which were readily given and well received. President Leo Kenney spoke on behalf of the active members and the activities of the chapter during the past year. Following this the space was cleared and a Boston theatrical troupe of young women made tones and feet fly high and fast to the piano accompaniment of Brother Phil Cannel. Following the entertainment, general handshakes and group reunions were in order until the very pleasant evening came to an end. Norman McKinnon was in charge of the committee for the affair. 9i $ssi Pousse Part? With the arrival of the first guests on the afternoon of Thursday, April 29th, the annual spring house party was off with a big start. That evening, festivities began with an informal dinner dance in the South Chelmsford Town Hall. Dinner was served by a committee of ladies of the South Chelmsford Ladies ' Aid, and a team of Ray McKittrick ' s furnished the music for dancing. When the music had died away, the couples returned to the house, where the orthophonic was put to good use. The party broke up at a late hour and the girls had their first taste of the barracks. On Friday afternoon the party attended Keith ' s, and on Friday evening the annual production of the Textile Players, this year Some Baby . After the excel- lent performance, dancing was enjoyed until the early hours, when the party returned to the house where a period of gaiety ensued. Soon the Sandman claimed everyone and the members of the crowd dispersed for their respective houses. Saturday morning was given over to either sleeping or to visiting the school. In the afternoon the various couples attended the Textile-Springfield game, while others toured the country. Saturday evening a formal dinner dance was held at the Vesper Country Club. Professor and Mrs. Bachmann acted as patron and patroness. The music, by the Tech Tunesters, was plenty hot and it was with weeping and wailing that the couples left to gather around the fireplace for the last time. 150 THE PICKOUT 1927 Sunday morning was one of peace and quiet with many attending church. In the afternoon the party began to break up with the departure of the guests. Sunday evening saw the return of the boys to their nesting place and the close of the most successful house party in years. The chapter is very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Eben Wallace of Exeter, N. H., who were all right, and to the committee, Ryan, McArthur, Westaway, McGuire, and Simpson. ( micron $t Spring ftousie $artp As in previous years Omicron Pi held a spring house party in conjunction with the annual Textile Show. Enthusiasm reigned high in the house and a greater number attended than in previous years. A more perfect house party has never been experienced. Friday afternoon all members of the house cooperated in a thorough cleaning of the house from top to bottom. Although the art of house cleaning was new to many the work accomplished was worthy of an artist. After this extensive prepa- ration the different brothers met their fair guests at the station. Returning to the house acquaintances were soon formed and tension gradually wore off. Supper was a strain on many brothers whose table manners had suffered through long months of exile from the opposite sex, but as a whole it was as great a success as could be expected. After supper the entire house party attended Some Baby, the annual show given by the Lowell Textile Players, and the dance that followed. All pronounced the play and dance a great success. After the last gun had been fired the party returned to the house where groups played bridge, talked on common subjects until Morpheus began to do a job on the boys. Finally the party broke up, the boys leaving the house to the girls and taking themselves to park benches or rooms of brothers or classmates. With about five hours ' sleep to everybody ' s credit the house party was con- tinued the following day. The members of the party followed different diversions. Some went on observation tours through the school buildings, where the boys exhibited their prowess in textile manufacturing. Others went on sight-seeing trips thrQugh the city or its surroundings. Saturday, after the noon-day repast the party remained around the house until it came time to watch the baseball game between L. T. S. and Springfield College. The success of the game added more enthusiasm to the party. Saturday night the parties, now thoroughly acquainted, danced at the Marl- borough. More were at the dance than were staying at the house so that the party was increased in size. Music was provided by Ray McKittrick ' s orchestra. 151 THE PICKOUT 1927 The young ladies attending received a bar-pin as a souvenir of the dance and house party. Sunday morning many participated in a good sleep, while others read papers. A few performed the observation of the Sabbath. Sunday being a day restricted to certain forms of amusement, the party quieted down until one by one the guests left amidst showers of confetti or rice. Much credit is due to Mrs. Morrill, Mrs. Carr, Professor and Mrs. Olney, Doctor and Mrs. Beattie and also to the committee, Bob Chase, chairman, Pat Frost, Harry Buzzell and Angus MacKenzie. i§ tgma mega $St banquet As a fitting conclusion to the successful school year of 1925-26, Eta Chapter, Sigma Omega Psi, held its annual informal banquet at the Hotel Vendome, Boston, on May 8th, at 8 p.m. All the active members were present besides the two guests of honor, Simon Kirshen, Grand Superior of the fraternity, and Morris Spector, Superior of the New England District Council, and several alumni fratres. Presi- dent Jacob Sehneiderman opened the festivities with a few short remarks and then turned the affair over to the chairman of the social committee. The dinner speeches were all centered around Eta ' s activities and its work in the growth of the fraternity. Sometime after 11 o ' clock, the guests acknowledged the excellence of the menu and the fine choice of smokes. We hope to be in attendance when the next banquet rolls around. ( micron $t Annual panquet With the annual Textile Alumni Reunion the following day the annual fra- ternity banquet was staged May 21st, 1926. During the afternoon the prosperous alumni kept arriving in their high powered motor cars. Hunger finally moved the entire fraternity to the Marlborough Hotel where their empty stomachs were copiously filled. During the courses entertainment from White ' s Vaudeville Bureau helped to digest the food. Speeches were given by alumni and by the fraternity baby. After the banquet the annual meeting of the alumni organization was held. Prof A. A. Stewart ' 00, presided. At this meeting Bill Smith gave his farewell address which was loudly applauded. The presence of so many alumni and honorary members was exceedingly gratifying to the a ctive members and the committee which consisted of Fergie Gladwin, chairman, Larry Gottschalck, and Al Larter. Much credit is due to this committee for such a successful fraternal conclave. 152 THE PICKOUT 1927 l£ igma 0mega $£t Smoker The annual freshman smoker of Sigma Omega Psi Fraternity was held Tuesday evening, November 9th, at its Chapter house. President Ben Glickman welcomed the guests on behalf of the fraternity. Several alumni were present, including Arthur Cobin, ' 23, and Barney Perlmutter, ' 23, the latter sketching vividly, a few of the problems encountered by strange students in new surroundings. The guest of honor, David Sandman, President of all New England Chapters of Sigma Omega Psi, made a short speech on the advisability of union of numbers, not only for acquiring complete knowledge of academic subjects, but also as a channel for social expansion. All guests were presented with handy souvenirs in the form of billfolds to make the memory of the event lasting. A light buffet lunch was served, after which card games were enjoyed. The smoker was declared by all to be one of the most enjoy- able in the Chapter ' s annals, although, due to the inclemency of the weather, many alumni who had declared their intention of attending were unable to be present. The committee whom we have to thank for the success of the affair consisted of Chairman Samuel J. Somers, assisted by Seymour de Jong, Lou Goldenberg, and Jack Schneiderman. iji pgt Smoker Gamma Chapter held its annual Freshman Smoker on the evening of No- vember 10th, at the Chapter house at 28 Mt. Washington street. About forty-five freshmen, twenty members of the Faculty, President Eames, and several alumni, including Grand President Snyder, were the guests of the evening. Chairman Jack Westaway opened the program of the evening by calling upon President John Mc Arthur, who gave a short address of welcome. Following President McArthur ' s address, Mr. Wells, an alumnus of Phi Psi, gave the speech of the evening. After telling a few stories about various faculty members present, he settled down to serious talking. Mr. Wells warned the new men as to their selection of friends and the advantages afforded by fraternities. Grand President Snyder came next with a few words and then Chairman Westaway introduced the enter- tainers. Four girls from the Keith circuit of Boston furnished a solid hour of songs and dances. There were some very clever Charleston and Black Bottom steps shown, and the songs were hits of the hour. The last part of the smoker was given over to the eats which were well pre- pared by the house chef. At the conclusion of the lunch, favors in the form of suitably engraved leather billfolds were distributed. After the Profs had left 153 THE PICKOUT 1927 the boys gathered around the piano and had a real songfest. The party broke up at a late hour as the boys left for their homes after a very pleasant evening. The success of the smoker was largely due to the efforts of Westaway, Marble, and Milliman. ( micron $i Smoker With much opposition from Mother Nature Omicron Pi held its annual Fresh- man Smoker on Wednesday evening, November 16th. Invitations were extended to the entire freshman class, faculty and instructors. Activities were postponed until the house was crowded. Cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco were presented to all those who wished to indulge. Ed Wingate extended a hearty welcome to the freshmen in this visit to the house, and expressed his hope that everyone would enjoy himself to the fullest extent. President Eames was introduced and in his address he expressed his opin- ions on fraternities, college life, and all those many things that would affect the new men in the future. Entertainment that followed was provided by two young ladies and one gentleman from Keith ' s Vaudeville Bureau. The entertainment produced much enjoyment for all excepting a few faculty members who were slightly em- barrassed. After the entertainment a buffet lunch was served. There were plenty of doughnuts, sandwiches and schooners of cider for everyone. The serving of cider oave those present a true insight into the morals of some of our instructing staff. The refreshments were followed by card games, songs, and a general good time. The freshmen left soon after eleven, taking with them leather key containers as souvenirs. The committee in charge was Ed Johnstone, chairman, Harry Buzzell, and Walt Myers. Belta l appa ipfjt Smoker On December 1st, Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity was host to the entire Freshman class and to the members of the Faculty. The house was a scene of great activity long before the time set for the smoker. Freshmen and instructors sat around in groups getting better acquainted while waiting for the festivities to commence. President Leo Kenney welcomed the freshmen and introduced President Eames. Professor Barker was then introduced and gave an excellent talk that was well absorbed by the audience. Following this came the lighter part of the evening ' s entertainment made up of four members of McKittrick ' s Orchestra, a theatrical t.roup from Keith ' s and the honorable Judge Burke of Franklin. 154 THE PICKOUT 1927 A buffet lunch was served, and as a reminder of the pleasant evening, cigarette cases properly filled were distributed. Chairman Joseph A. Lussier is to be congratulated for the success of the evening. ( microti $1 Christmas Cree $artp Santa Claus must still have the Omicron Pi members on his good boy list, for again this year he made his annual visitation. Every member present was gener- ously bestowed with gifts, the description of which better be left to the recipient. The sophomores living in the house received large presents over which they did not seem particularly pleased. Even alumni members strolling in were remembered, even though a sacrifice was made by Santa ' s helper. All this while St. Nick ' s prominent front was becoming extremely uncomfort- able, so Walt, taking his set of furniture, wedding ring, and other presents, which no doubt he will be able to use to advantage in the future, wished everyone a Merry Christmas and left midst a shower of paper or what have you. After the presentation of the gifts different forms of diversion were followed by the brothers to celebrate the approaching vacation. $fri $£ Christmas; ULttt A Christmas Tree at Keith ' s was a precedent this year, and was such a success that it will undoubtedly be followed in later years. On the Thursday evening preceding the Christinas vacation, the boys assem- bled at the house and then, under the eagle eyes of the Yellow Cab drivers, they proceeded to Keith ' s. The performance was exceptionally good, and every one thoroughly enjoyed himself. After the performance, the boys returned to the house where the fireplace was put to good use. When the last ember had died away and all was dark in the barracks the house seemed to still ring with the boys ' comments on a great evening together. Belta appa $f)t Cfmsitmasi QTree On December 15th our annual Christmas Tree Party was held with a capacity crowd present. Santa Claus was present in the form of Eric Gaudet. Presents were distributed, and such presents they were ! Such howls went up as the presents were opened and the verses read! After all gifts had been distributed, the boys adjourned to the Commodore to teach the Terpsichorean Art to the fair nymphs of Lowell. 155 THE PICKOUT 1927 i tgma mega $3t Contention Christmas night had a twofold purpose as far as Sigma Omega Psi men were concerned. Primarily it was for the purpose of attending the sixth annual convention of the Fraternity, and secondarily, for the purpose of giving the affair momentum. The convention started off with a Bang ! Saturday, December 25th, was celebrated by a formal reception and dance in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Majestic. The jazziest music ever was played by a seven-piece orchestra of local repute and broadcasted over the Radio. During intermission, stunning Boudoir Clocks in leather casings were handed out to the young ladies as souvenirs. Following this appetizer, the gang adjourned to one of the New York Night Clubs, and spent the wee hours of the morning breakfasting at the Actors ' Inn. Sunday, December 26th, was consumed with initiation of neophytes and a banquet in the grill room. Myron Hirsh, chairman of the convention committee, turned the affair over to Si Kirshen, Grand Superior of the Fraternity, who thanked Myron Hirsh and Louis A. Friedman, Jr., for their untiring efforts in making this occasion the best convention ever held. Brother Louis A. Friedman, Jr., presented a huge loving cup to Brother Si Kirshen on behalf of the Fraternity as a small token of the esteem and gratitude that his fratres hold for him. Brother Kirshen made his speech of acceptance, and also announced that Brother Louis A. Friedman, Jr., was elected the new Grand Superior. Fraternity seals in gold were presented to all the men present, as a memento of the event. Monday, December 27th, was introduced at an informal Cabaret held in the main dining room of the Hotel Majestic, where the guests were entertained by professional night club performers. Dancing for one hour was followed by a regular dinner. The committee to be thanked for this memorable event are Myron Hirsh, Louis A. Friedman, Jr., and Harry Golin. 15G % west ern prn,j5 f h - re f V£ tsreri Hemtephert? -; GKINDS Sept. 27th — Lowell Textile opens its portals for the year 1926-27.

Brother Wingate requested to know who was going to take Irene to the dance. After argument it was decided that Brother Savage be not allowed to attend the dance anyway, so Irene ' s feelings would not be hurt. Brother Battles said that he understood that a girl named May was wearing Brother Pat Frost ' s pin on her garter, which was against the rules. Brother Frost denied it, but could not produce the pin at that time. It was decided to pledge an engineer next year who could work the light meter. Brother Sawyer urged that the chapter continue its aversion to liquor, and also urged that now the boys were not staying drunk so much, there was no real excuse for their hanging around Market Street. Brother Dods was present, but looked disgusted, and on his suggestion the meeting was adjourned. Sigma Omega Psi Meeting fell open and rested easily on the floor. Brother Tarshis made a report on conditions at the zoo. Brother Goldenberg urged the brothers to strengthen themselves as he was leaving this year. Brother Somers pulled the chair from beneath the president. Brother Glickman retaliated by kicking him on the shin. Brother Schneiderman got sore at Brother Perlstein and swung at his jaw but hit Brother Goldenberg, who countered with a left jab to the stomach. By this time fighting was general and the meeting was not resumed as several of the brothers had gone outside to have it out. Delta Kappa Phi Meeting barely opened. Brother Anthony came in late as usual to create a stir. Brother Fredrickson raised hell about the proposed installation of the bath- tub since it would be a great burden for the younger members to have to carry the expense of it several years with nothing to use it for. After heated argument it was decided to dispose of that domestic article. Brother Flynn then arose and asked if some one couldn ' t find a way to prevent the house from being raided so much. Brother Shea arose and answered that the best way would be to keep corn liquor and Brother Barry out of the house. Brother Tarpey reported for the finance com- mittee that at the rapid rate of payment our house should be clear of debt in 1984. Brother Bronson came in and the meeting was adjourned for slide rule practice under coach Brother McKinnon. Phi Psi Meeting failed to open for a long while, but finally Brother Westaway arrived from Boston. After opening services the brothers filed by and punched the time 169 THE PICKOUT 1927 clock. Attendance low as is customary. Brother McGuire advised other brothers to take more interest in athletics, he being the only athlete (Spanish) in the chapter. Brother Gallagher asked the brothers to leave their wool layout games long enough to speak to visitors who came in as it might be a thief. Brother Reinhold said if a sheet wasn ' t put on his bed he would vacate the house. Brother Milliman took the floor to advise the brothers how to get along without him next year, but broke into sobs at the thought of the chapters irreplaceable loss, and was still sobbing when meeting adjourned. ADVICE TO STAGS You are a young man of reputable standing, who is about to attend your Fraternity Dance. It is your original intention to go stag , but in the afternoon of the day, you receive a note, from a young lady of your acquaintance, who is going with Perk, asking you to be so kind as to accompany to the jam, her room- mate at College, a sweet girl from Brookline who just happened to drop in, and Perk said he was sure you would be glad to etc., etc. — . That night you call at the young lady ' s house. There you are presented to the sweet girl from Brookline, who is six feet tall and has protruding teeth. After the customary words of greeting and a few brief bits of pleasantry, you set off with your partner for the dance. Arriving, you find the party in full swing, and after shaking hands with the patrons, you ask your partner if she would care to dance. The first three times that she steps on your left foot, you should politely murmer, my fault. But when she begins to sing in your ear it is proper to steer her over towards the stag line, in order to petition for an injunction or a temporary restraining order. The stag line consists of the hardest, shrewdest, and most hard-hearted young men ever gathered together under one roof. The original purpose of the stag line was to provide a place where unattached young men might stand while searching for a partner, but the institution has now come to be a form of Supreme Court, passing life or death sentence upon the various wimmen who pass before it. After you have piloted your partner five times along the length of this line you have a pretty fair idea of her merits or demerits, and, in this particular case, you have a pretty fair idea as to just what the evening holds for you. When the music stops you should lead the girl to a chair, and ask to be allowed to bring her a glass of punch. Instead of going directly to the punch bowl, you should turn your steps towards the stag line. Here you will find all your brothers, who only as late as this after- noon you counted as your best friends, but who do not at the present, seem to have 170 THE PICKOUT 1927 ever met you before. Seizing the arm of one of them you say, Jack, I want you to meet — . That is as far as you will get, for Jack will suddenly interrupt you by remarking, Excuse me a minute Ed — , I see a girl over there I ' ve simply got to speak to. I ' ll come right back. He will not come right back. He will not come back at all. And after you have met with the same response from four other brothers, you should return to Brookline and carry on. At the end of the second hour your mind should clear, and if you possess those qualifications of future ballroom leadership, you should throw off your gloom and make a fight for liberty and happiness. When the music once more stops, you should ask your partner if she would not care to take a jaunt in the open air. I know a lovely walk, you should say, across a quaint old bridge. The rest is, of course, easy. Arriving at the centre of the quaint old bridge, which leads over a cavern some three hundred feet deep, you should quickly seize the tall college girl, and push her, not too roughly or ungentlemanly, off the bridge. Now comes the acid test, if you are really a genius and not just one of the crowd. You will return to the dance and, going up to the young lady who was responsible for your having met the sweet girl from Brookline, you will offer her your arm, and smile invitingly. I know a lovely walk, you will say, across a quaint old bridge. H. J. IN THE HEREAFTER 171 THE PICKOUT 1927 L. T. S. DICTIONARY AND ENCYCLOPEDIA Bear in Mind: A phrase frequently heard on the engineering side, generally used as a substitute of something which, it is assumed, we know from our previous education. Boston and Maine R. R. : For most of us the sole means of ingress and egress into and from this so-called city of Lowell. As to the service, the entrance of the commuters into classes at 9 o ' clock from a train due at 8.10 speaks for itself. Bulletin Board: A course in ancient history. Hereon is given the chro- nological order of events from July 1 to the date on which you look. Something new is added occasionally: Students are held responsible for all notices posted on the General Bulletin Board. Catacombs: A room in the cellar of the Wool Department, so-called for three reasons. (1) It is the place to which wool men, martyrs to the persecution of Emperor Eddie, may escape for a few minutes of freedom. (2) There is an onmi-present odor about the place as if something or somebody was dead. (3) There is an underground exit from it leading to the happy-go-lucky, careless freedom of the Engineering Department. Charlie ' s Office: It is very hard to get or give a description of Charlie ' s office. All that appears to the author ' s remembrance (he was pretty nervous) is a chair, a desk, and a huge safe. There is red tape leading from this office to the door of the general office. Cloth Analysis: A course with which everyone is afflicted and is simply a short study in juggling figures with a slide rule. (I said simply but NOT simple.) Co-eds : Several young ladies in the school, who are ostensibly attending the school to gain a knowledge of chemistry, but are instead getting a very good set of oaths as let loose in the Chem labs when your precipiate drops on the concrete floor. Chemist: One who studies chemistry and dyeing. There are three accurate tests which maybe used to determine whether or not a fellow is a chemist. (1) Look at the back of his fingers. If they are a grimy black with a few stains of yellow, and if they look as if they had not been washed for years, it is a sure sign he is a chemist. (2) If you see a fellow walking around the building with a long coat on which is full of holes and which is stained with a great variety of colors, you will know at once he belongs to Course IV. (3) If you come across a fellow who smells as if he had just come out of a glue factory, and was carrying a fertilizer works with him, it is safe to bet that he has fallen prey to the lure of the dye pot. Chemistry Stock Room: A sort of waiting room or transfer station that never has any chemicals. If you see a chemist whose sleeves are out at the elbows, o not think that he has been stirring acids with his shirt or coat sleeves; such is not the case. He has only been down trying to get a beaker and has worn out his sleeves 172 THE PICKOUT 1927 leaning on the counter. We would suggest that these two mottoes be hung in some prominent spot in the stock-room : Patient waiters, no losers. Christmas is coming, so is Elmer. Commuter: The commuters are a hard bunch and odd to say the least. The theory is that they are swayed and shaken by the train into a semi-intoxicated con- dition and therefore they are not altogether responsible for what they do. They are divided by locality into two bunches, one of which is swept into Lowell in the semi- darkness of the early morning, while the other rolls or rather falls into the class- rooms just in time to disturb the classes which have always begun before they get there. They are especially favored in that they are acquainted with countless numbers of commuting embryo teachers from the Lowell Normal School. Coop: A store of the students, by the students and for the students (oh yes). Run by our class Shylock Parsons. Prices for supplies (they should but never can be found in stock) are guaranteed to be not less than 150% more than outside prices and not above 729% more than prices downtown. Cotton : A cotton man may be distinguished by the loose raw stock suspended on his clothing. From what we hear of it the cotton course must be very interesting. Just think of it, three hours lecturing in a row. Gilbert tells all he knows; he rests while Woodie lectures away until he gets tired; then Gillie takes it up again. As for the student, well, he is not supposed to have need of a rest, and any- how, it serves him right for taking the course. Crabber : A name given by those who are too lazy to do their work to one who is not. Crib : An abomination in the sight of the instructor, but a very present help in the time of trouble. Designing : A course put upon the schedule to improve and develop our eyes for the beautiful. It is very instructive inasmuch as it teaches us the importance of eternal vigilance. If it were not for the latter quality, we fellows would have suffered more than once from injuries caused by flying missiles, such as erasers, chalk, gears, shuttles, etc. Drawing Room: A sort of office for engineers. If Herbie or Percy has ever wondered why the engineers ' problems always come out the same, we advise him to sneak into the drawing room at noon hour or some other spare hour if any. Degree: A living reality for some of us, a mirage in the desert for many. The only qualifications demanded are that the receiver write a thesis worthy of a Harvard Professor, be an accurate chemist, a good mathematician, a good athlete, that he know all about gears, head motion, civil engineering, the customs of the English people in 1221, why gold is sent to the U. S., be able to sprechen Deutsch, 173 THE PICKOUT 1927 etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam, and that he be able to get along with the instructors, which is no mean feat. Four years are prescribed, but five, six, and seven years are often necessary in many cases. It is very useful as a mural decoration after it is once obtained. Dyeing Laboratory: The place where chemists go to daub up their hands and faces before they go calling so that their girls will know they are dyers. It is a good preparation for purgatory in the hereafter. Energy: Our supply of energy seems unlimited when we get here, but it dissipates slowly in some cases, quickly in others, all along the way until but little if any is left. Some fellows are all gone after one term, some after one year, some last two years, and a few finish. It is a case of the survival of the fittest. As the energy of a sound wave loses in intensity in passing from one medium to another, so we lose ours in the greatest quantities in passing from Chemistry to Steam Engi- neering from Design in Industrial History, etc. Engineers or Would-Be-Engineers : Known as Herbie ' s Army or as Herbie ' s Disciples. The best test for an engineer is to fish his pockets to see if he carries his slide rule or measuring rule. Another for distinguishing a great number of them is to hang around the Drawing Room. The engineers will all bunch to- gether and go over their problems. This is known as engineering team work and has reached a high state of efficiency. The chief characteristic of the engineer is his supernatural power in Inorganic Chemistry. His chief eccentricity is that he likes Drawing. Engineering Lab. : This is where engineers get valuable experience measuring pipe expansions and r. p. m. of the room when the engineer is dizzy (as he usually is). Go by there any afternoon and you will see Icky Yeaton with his slide rule in his hand and shouting orders to his soldiers. One engineer stands at the black- board with a piece of chalk, another sits on top of a step-ladder, a monkey wrench or screw driver in his hand, another has a slide rule to correct Icky ' s mistakes (and they ' re plentiful). Epicyclic Train: The climax of a year of hard labor. To one familiar with Mechanism it means one gear moving on top of another which is also moving. (This is the impression left in our minds and is similar to that which we got from a whole year of Mechanism.) But to the student it means to flunk or not to flunk. He usually comes to this course with about an even chance of surviving the storms of cams and linkages, and this settles him for good or evil. Finishing: The memory course of school, outside, of History Economics, Math, and the rest on the schedule. And if you don ' t watch out, the crabs in the B. M. will get you and you ' ll be set. Fraternity: A good thing to belong to if you don ' t want to study, not so good if you want to study. 174 THE PICKOUT 1927 French Curve: A weapon of torture just as cruel as the stocks but in a different way. Nobody who has not gone through it can appreciate the mental agony experienced in trying to strike three points at once and still keep a smooth line with this awful contraption. Freshmen: Some green, unripe, bolognas that unfortunately we cannot get along without under the present economic system, so we must suffer in silence. They are happy in their own green way so it is best to simply ignore them. Gearing: The calm before the storm; the easy part of Mechanism which precedes the difficult part about cams and linkages. General Office: This is where you go when you want to pay your tuition. There is also a letter box there. We have been in every day since school started to get a letter, but we haven ' t received any yet. If you want to see Charlie, you take off your hat, brush back your hair, walk into the office and tell the stenog- rapher what you want. She refers you to W alt. He goes over and asks Ruth. She goes in and sees if Charlie is busy. Charlie locks up the safe and tells Ruth to tell Walt to let you in. This is good mill experience. Greek: A working knowledge of Greek comes in handy in such studies as Mechanism, Mathematics, or Physical Chemistry. We judge that Herbie has studied it for he delights in using Greek letters in illustrating his problems. Industrial Lab. : A course in slops. You start with a clean beaker at the beginning of the year and go through about thirty experiments. Each one of these leaves an insoluble residue, so by the end of the year the beaker (if not broken before then, as it usually is) has an inch thick shell of various mixtures. The same is true with regard to your hands and face. They are usually clean to start with and gradually grow dirtier and dirtier until the end of the year, when you have to encase them in gloves to keep from polluting the atmosphere. The dirt wears off with the skin, and generally the chemist has one or two weeks at the end of summer vacation in which he can display a clean pair of hands. Industrial History: Formerly this was (according to tradition handed down) a well-developed course in rough-house, but in the last few centuries it has degenerated into a study of people and how they lived. Ionization: A plunge into the depths of theory. We spend three hours a week trying to catch the elusive H ion by sprinkling salt on its tail, but all in vain. There is one famous chemist, we are told, who doubted this theory. We promptly informed the instructor, that we didn ' t believe it either, thinking that of course then he wouldn ' t make us learn it; bu t his sympathies were not wide, and he in- flicted it upon us in double doses. Janitor: The janitor of this school is a full-fledged engineer, electrician, watchman, special policeman, and comedian. He goes by the name of George Shea 175 THE PICKOUT 1927 and is famous for his Bowery slang and because he fits pretty well with the nurses over at the hospital. Keith ' s: The Textile Headquarters on Wednesday afternoons. Formerly the Textile Chemists met there Monday afternoons, but Charlie put a stop to that. Library : Almost everybody goes into the library to read the papers for a few minutes each day, or sirnply for the sake of a change; but few stay long, for the air there holds a solemn stillness and a Textile man can not stand much quiet. Locker Rooms : We wish now to give some advice as to the choice of lockers and their use and abuse. Never take an end locker or you are liable to come to school some day and find it nailed up by some mischievous rascal. Don ' t be afraid to take a locker with a name on it ; everybody puts his name on his locker, not as a sign of ownership but as a means of displaying his name in a public place. Always have a strong padlock, for it is likely to be taken off to make some other locker doubly sure. One of our friends came in one day and found his locker secured by six padlocks. It was an hour ' s work with hammer and chisel to get loose again. Never leave your key in your coat pocket which you have left inside the locker; you are too likely to forget yourself and lock your key in, leaving yourself in awkward circum- stances. Always when you change your pants transfer your key. Lowell Hospital: If you lam your finger or sprain your foot, go over to the hospital. They will immediately put you to bed and hide your clothes. After a week or so they may let you out again, but the nurses will always want you to come over occasionally and take them to the show once in a while. If a warp in the mill gets tired of working, he sticks his finger in the machine and goes to the hospital to get a vacation for a couple of months. They give great feeds over there but you always lose your appetite and cannot do them justice. Peaches of Textile fame came from there. Mathematics : A good course as far as it goes, and a sticker (!!!). A Freshman lowers his voice when he speaks of it, chiefly from the habit he has formed of saying in a stage whisper, Have you got your problems done? Merrimack Square : The business center of Lowell . At half -past four one stude asks another if he is going downtown. They walk down into the Square, turn right around and walk right back again. This is the chief amusement to be found in Lowell. Moody Bridge: One of the coldest places known to human beings in the winter time, built for Textile students. Practice: They say Practice makes perfect. If that is so, the wool men must be fast approaching perfection, for they get practice slung into them day in, day out, from morn to night (we smell it) . Qualitative Analysis : A course in guess-work with side issues of acid drink- ing, sponge-throwing, and H 2 S inhaling. 176 THE PICKOUT 1927 Quantitative Analysis: A course in dishwashing and precipitate roasting with a little (or a lot) of weighing and measurements. Senior: A privileged character who is allowed to come and go as he pleases. He does little or no studying, but makes more fuss about it than the Freshman who has twice as much to do. Shark: The exception who proves the rule that it is impossible to get a diploma without taking a re-exam. They are mighty scarce and will in time, we believe, become extinct. Special Student: The special courses are friends indeed because they are friends in need. Anyone who flunks one or two studies, which places him almost hopelessly behind, immediately becomes a special. The special courses never contain a study the special student dislikes and do not contain many he likes. In general they are lazymen ' s courses. Stoichiometry: A course in chemical arithmetic. If we may judge by what some of the chemists get for marks, we think they might take a course in grammar school which would be of no small benefit to them. Sickly Green: A natural dyestuff appearing on the faces of the engineers when they get their marks in T. C. and D. Textile Night: The big night down at Keith ' s. Textile Show: The night you get out your borrowed tuxedo, hire a cab, and take your best girl to the time of times. The fellows put on a great comedy and there is dancing ' til two. Theory: A lecture in wool. Thesis : A vacation for the Seniors. Tragedy : The second and third year of a chemist. Underground Railway: The link that binds Engineering to Chemistry. 177 THE PICKOUT 1927 FROM THE COMMODORE The stag at eve had drunk his fill Of gin and Scotch and what you will, And reeling fast down Moody Street, A portly cop he chanced to meet. Avast! the cop in wonder cried, Why reel you so from side to side? The figure paused and tried to drape Around a post his manly shape. One post was there quite plain in view, But in his vision there were two, And with the most especial care, He leaned upon the post in air. The cop looked down in deep disgust As there he wallowed in the dust. Said he, This bird is soaking wet, A pickled Textile lad, I ' ll bet. At this the stewed gent sobered up. Said he, You little knock-kneed pup, No son of Textile could hold wine And Scotch and gin as I hold mine. I don ' t drink mine from flasks and cups Like all these little Textile pups. In fact, it ' s no exaggeration, I get mine at the filling station. But how can man his sorrows drown In this old section of the town Where they extinguish lights at ten And lamp posts don ' t support he-men. I ' m going back where life is bright, Where joy flows free and night ain ' t night. I ' ll pick my carcass off this floor And turn again to the Commodore. 178 r ttft .msM ( f lMjt vfe f V fv2 Me c vieS ' T Wf ' 3U T £ Cr r SVPo g AV?

At 14,000 rpm, the traveler makes the ring so hot that it loses its temper. A reed is a series of parallel lines tied together with a piece of tarred string. A reed is constructed of parallel wires tied up with cotton made from Swedish wire. Master Workman is a brand of tobacco used in England, now almost ob- solete. The house servants wore livery, while the warriors and other servants wore nothing but the sign manual. A staple is a form of government. Enclosures were certain taxes which were placed on the people to raise money to carry on the war with France. The Flanders Fleet was some dicker with England. ' The plantation of Ulstin was a society which had for its occupation the welfare of agriculture. These were a series of acts passed whereby the boss had to pay hi s workman so much money per week, according to his wages. An oxygen is an eight-sided figure. A mispick is a wrong pick which has been drawn through a dent. A shed is that part of cloth which is finished but is still in the loom. A tag is a ticket put on a bag of wool to show the transportation company its destination. Mohair is the fibre clipped from the back of a Mo. A tuck stitch is one which runs in one direction one way and then runs in the opposite direction the other way. Mit Afifi — Inventor of the cotton loom. The difference between semi and full fashioned hose is that one is longer than the other. Peeler is a term given to cotton which grows in Upland. 180 THE PICKOUT 1927 A warp knitted fabric is different from the other knitted fabrics. (1) The yarn is wound on a beam rather in cone form bobbin. (2) The needles hook are facing away each other. (3) The feeding is entirely different. (4) The pattern mechanism is different. (5) The whole machine is different. Peeler is the process of removing pod from fiber. 840 =8.33 7000 ' The produce of the carding and combing operations is in the form of a sliver and its size is measured by ounces per yard per inch of width. The drawing operation draws out the fibers and the yarn is measured in a unit of nips per minute. FLUNKING RECIPE Take one college sheik, large size, add a peach and a big portion of dates. Crush on Peach and add several nuts as rivals. Beat in several quarrels. Dissolve troubles in a liquid stag party. Add more dates with moonshine. Now add a bitter prof, and bake in a hot exam room until burned brown. DID YOU KNOW THAT: A man with a Textile diploma and ten cents can get a cup of coffee in almost any restaurant ? You cannot drive a nail with a wet sponge no matter how much you soak it? Hank Qualters was brought up on a bottle? Mr. Volstead had water on the brain? It doesn ' t make a bit of difference how deep the ocean is, you can always break a window with a hammer? Just because a fellow wears a wing collar, doesn ' t prove that he is an angel? Pajamas are economical as they are seldom worn out? An egg sandwich is not a chicken dinner? Aviators do not put their money in air pockets? A thing of beauty is a source of worry? A brain is as strong as its weakest think? 181 THE PICKOUT -. 1927 THE ETIQUETTE OF TELEPHONING IN A FRATERNITY HOUSE At Thursday noon, after a long hard day at school — English, pitch lab 2 periods, and weaving — and believing that all work makes Jack a dull boy, you decide to get a date for the evening and rest the palpitating grey matter. The etiquette of telephoning in a Fraternity house is quite important and many other- wise perfectly bred people often make themselves conspicuous because they do not know the correct procedure in using this modern but almost indispensable invention. Upon entering the telephone booth, which is located in the noisest part of the house, you remove the receiver and deposit the required coin. After an interval of several minutes a young lady (referred to as Central ) will ask for your Number please. Suppose, for example, you wish to get 2166-W. Remove your hat and rubbers politely and speak that number into the mouthpiece. Central will then say, 2166-R. To which you reply, No, Central — 2166-W. Central then says, Beg pardon — 2166-W , to which you reply, Yes, please. In a few minutes a voice at the other end of the line says, Hello, to which you answer, Is Miss Maleny at home? The voice then says, Who? You say, Miss Maleny, please — Miss Kay Maleny. You then hear the following: Wait a minute. Say, Charlie, is there anyone works here by the name of Maleny? There ' s a guy wants to talk to a Miss Maleny? Here — you answer it. Another voice then says, Hello. You reply Hello. He says, What do you want? You reply, J wish to speak to Miss Kay Maleny. He says, What department does she work in? You reply, Is this the residence of J. Jim Maleny, Chief Switchman at the Car House? He says, Wait a minute. You wait a minute, ou wait several. Another voice — a new one, says — Hello. You reply, Hello. He says Give me 1406. You say, I ' m trying to get Miss Maleny — Miss Kay Maleny. He says, Who? You say, Is this the residence of — He says — , Man — this is Anastasash Brothers, Wholesale Butchers, what number do you want? You say, 2166-W. He says, Well, this is 2166-R. You then hang up the re- ceiver and count twenty. The telephone bell then rings, and as you are the only person up, you lift the receiver and say Hello. A female voice says, Wouldn ' t you like to know who this is? Guess who this is? Controlling that impulse to see how much she will take before hanging up, you say, politely but firmly, No. She says, Guess! You guess Mrs. Warren G. Harding ' . She says, No — this is Chickie. Is Chester there? Tell him to come to the phone, Chickie — no, wait — Cielle waits to speak to him. Being a gentleman you comply to the lady ' s request. After bringing Chester to the phone you obligingly wait twenty minutes while Chester talks to Chickie — no, Cielle. When he has finished you once more enter the booth and tell Central you want 2166-W. After a few minutes 182 THE PICKOUT 1927 Central says, What number did you call? You say patiently, 2166-W. She replies 2166-W is now 295-M. You ask for 295-M. Finally a woman ' s voice says, Yass. You say, Is Miss Maleny in? She says, Yass. You say, May I speak to her? She says, Who? You reply, You said Miss Maleny was at home, didn ' t you? She replies Yass. You say, Well may I speak to her? The voice says, Who? You shout, Miss Maleny. The voice says, She ban out. You shriek, Oh, go to Hell ! and assuming a graceful easy position in the booth, you proceed to tear the telephone from the wall. You can then cut Wool Lab, which will give you three or four spare hours ' time, and again try and get Miss Maleny.

Many a yarn to her he told, Of how, when a traveller bold, He ' d given the twist to many a warp Until they cried for him to stop. Many an hour had passed away, And still he smiled and she was gay; One that knows has said to me, They were as happy as they could be. Alas! their joy was not to last, For then and there it came to pass, A draft came through a broken shingle Which blew up her apron and showed her spindles. Now he knew he ' d been deceived And naturally enough grew very peeved; To repay her for this awful sight, He smote her there with all his might. He struck her on her railway head Until he knew she was really dead; The stop-motion cried for him to stop, While bobbin through the door in came the cops. By an underground passage he disappeared And got away from those he feared; He crawled through this passage so dark and damp Until he saw a small red lamp. 184 THE PICKOUT 1927 Up a ladder and through a door, And there he was on his own barn floor; To the gill box stall he made a line For his woolen mule so noble and fine. He jumped upon its woolen back, And with his whip gave it a crack. On accelerated speed and with faller leg up, Down the dark road he made him gallop. And the story is told how till this day He ' s still riding far away, Roving over our great big land As only a roving picker can. TEXTILE PROVERBS A good seat in an English exam is more to be coveted than great knowledge. A rolling stone gathers no H ' s. A pocketfull of cribs is worth a bushel of knowledge. Fools do problems, wise men copy them. A problem sheet in the box is worth two at home on the piano. Charlie knocks once at least on each man ' s door. God sends students, the devil sends professors. He that reckons with his slide rule must reckon again. He who is a special student may sleep till eleven. He who eats at Betty ' s will eat more at supper. He who works in Dye Lab will have a scurvy master. Let us enjoy the present, we shall have trouble enough hereafter. Pass Designing when you please, Mechanism when you can. Necessity is the mother of cribbing. The hole in the locker invites the thief. He that is born of a mule must spin for a living.

I wonder and wonder and hope that I may And put it over on Herbie at last. I see cams and gears every night in my dreams, I can do all the problems at home, But in the exam every time, so it seems, Formulae from my head start to roam. CHORUS Good-bye, little 70 of my dreams, Good-bye, little 70 of my dreams,. I ' d like to feel that you are real, If you were mine, it would seem As if the world ' s troubles no more should be mine, For a diploma I could then stand in line, So I ' ll wait for thee, tho in dreams you may be, Good-bye little 70 of my dreams. There are hundreds of fellows that have passed Mech, There ' s a chance for some more, so they say, So I ' ll try thru the years ' til my 70 appears, For I know that I ' ll earn it some day. How happy I ' ll be when my Report sheet goes home Just to see that P in black ink on my card ! Never more grind all night, never more crib all day To get by that exam that ' s so hard. Chorus SOMETHING MISSING There are chaplains in army posts, chaplains on warships, chaplains in pen- itentiaries, chaplains in insane asylums. Why not have a chaplain at Textile?

The Solution of Every Winding Problem TIWO essentials to success in any business are a clearly defined target and an unwavering aim. A third of a century ago the Universal Winding Company established for itself, as a goal or target, the solution of every winding problem. Since then this company has built over 2,000,000 winding spindles and marketed over fifty different kinds of winding machines. Many of the origi- nals are still the only outstandingly successful mechanisms of their kind on the market. This company is at present the largest organization in the world making winding machines exclusively. Supremacy in size is the logical result of supremacy in demand. Supremacy in demand fol- lows leadership in conception, execution, materials and service. Whatever your winding problem is, state the facts and this company can offer the solution. Ask a Leesona sales engineer to call, study your requirements and make recommendations. Your request will not obligate you. UNIVERSAL WINDING COMPANY Providence. DnCTnXT Philadelphia. Chicajo.Utica.

They turned the microscope and camera upon fabrics treated with and discovered that the better condition of the fibres, their unharmed tensile strength and superior spinning qualities explained the better quality results these materials produce. As a consequence, increasing numbers of mills are standardizing these special textile alkalies for treatment of textile fabrics. WpandotU Ont CrattemarB GJrt Che J. n ford Conpaop, •polom. OKI.

The arrangement is the last word in shopping con- venience, — with new fixtures, — counters and show cases for the most efficient selling and display of merchandise, — plenty of aisle room, — three passenger elevators, — all selling space light and airy, — courteous salespeople, — with the selling policy that has characterized this organ- ization since 1857. 220 •ast ffi Perfection is a superlative term, but this machine approaches it very closely. If you are seeking the things the Morrison Machine Co. stands for and delivers in its tenter you are literally left no choice. There is no other tenter like it, no other tenter embodying the same certainity of manufacture, no other tenter assuring the same performance, no other tenter of equal economy — no other tenter providing so completely the essentials the Morrison tenter provides. In appearance, in performance, in the positive knowledge that there can be nothing better, the Morrison tenter stands abso- lutely alone. MORRISON MACHINE CO.

Rapid, unre- stricted circula- tion is absolutely- necessary to the efficiency of any boiler, and while this feature is claimed for bygs many boiler man- ufacturers, the design 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 fluctuat- ing demands 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.

The EASIEST METHOD of Stripping the Warp Whether used in connection with cotton or mixed goods, Diastafor is equally effective in strippiing the warp. And the efficiency of its work does not de- pend upon special equipment, for all that is required is a treatment of the starch sized cloth with Dias- tafor — then it does its work. The starch becomes liquefied, is easily washed out and the job is done — in connection with whatever present equipment you have. Diastafor is readily available for quick shipment to mills anywhere in the United States. Warehouses are located at convenient points throughout the country, at your service.
