To John A. Calnin This dedication is made in appreciation of his unswerving devotion to his Alma Mater— Lowell Textile Institute. He has given unstintingly of his time and talents to further the cause of textile education, in which, as a result of his years of practical experience he is an expert. Biographical Sketch John A. Calnin was born in Lowell, November 25, 1890. He received his educa- tion at the Butler School. As he was forced by adverse circumstances to leave school Mr. Calnin obtained employment with the U. S. Bunting Company. Due to his untiring efforts to succeed Mr. Calnin gradually attained higher positions in the employ of the Stevens interests. Mr. Calnin enrolled in the Lowell Textile Evening School courses in 1920 and took a number of courses. In 1930 he completed a three year course in woolen and worsted designing. In 1931 he completed the woolen and worsted finishing courses ; and in 1932 he successfully completed a course in textile marketing. Supplement ing this comprehensive series of courses with his invaluable practical experience, Mr. Calnin is today a member of the executive force of the various Stevens plants. It is indeed with pride that we note that Mr. Calnin is the first member of the evening courses ever to become a trustee of Lowell Textile Institute. The appoint- ment of Mr. Calnin on June 30, 1934 as a trustee of the Institute proves conclusively that by strict application to the task at hand one may overcome seemingly insur- mountable obstacles. Mr. Calnin is married and makes his home with his wife in Lowell. Mr. Calnin is a member of the Roman Catholic Church and fraternally is a member of the Eagles.

SENIORS — THE 19 36 PICKOUT — The Senior Class OFFICERS Moushy Markarian James R. Redmond Robert T. Crawford David Landau John J. Roarke President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Executive Council 30 THE 10 3 6 PICKOUT Senior Class History 1932-1933 On September 17, 1932, the Class of 1936 gathered in room 361 to register as students at the Lowell Textile Institute. The orientation period comprised the rilling out of a variety of cards, intelligence tests, individual pictures for the Rogues ' Gallery, a luncheon attended by President Eames and the instructing staff, and finally a chemical demonstration by Messrs. Chace and Skinkle. Later, we pur- chased our supplies and at the same time enriched the coffers of the Co-op. We were then ready for the struggle that was soon to fall upon us. The sophomores upon their return decided that we should have a better know- ledge of the Spindle City, and during the last weeks of September and the early part of October we visited the Lowell Teachers ' College, Lowell City Hall, and the High School. However, the middle of October brought Field Day, and in a great struggle we threw off the fetters of our tormentors. The came the fraternity smokers. Most of the class members became fraternity men later in the year. The class made a good showing at the Textile Show and Dance and also turned out strongly for Upstream Day. The class officers were Muller, Jessen, Roarke, Kaiser, and B. J. Tyler. 1933-1934 After the summer vacation we returned to the Institute ready for another year of hard study. We in turn, as tradition demanded, made our position known to the class of 1937, and showed them the various points of interest about the city, even to the extent of showing them some points not so interesting. Another Field Day came, class fight and spirit lagged, and the Freshmen were victorious. The various dances and social events were well attended by the class, and Upstream Day climaxed the social activities of the year. Our officers were Jessen, Georgacoulis, S. N. Tyler, Crawford, and Hirsch. 1934-1935 Another September rolled around and we returned to the Institute for our Junior year. Unfortunately not all who had been with us in our second year were able to return. The year proved to be one of comparative relaxation for the chemists; 31 THE 1936 PICKOUT while the engineers sweated over Heat and Electricity. At the elections the follow- ing men were chosen to lead the class in its activities: Roarke, Georgacoulis, Kaiser, Crawford, and B. J. Tyler. We took the course of studies in stride, maintained our position in social events, and boasted of some of the Institutes best athletes. The Textile Show, Upstream Day, and the other social events were strongly supported by the class. 1935-1936 In September of 1935, we returned to Lowell Textile for the last lap in our stay at the Institute. That which four years ago seemed so far distant, is now near at hand. We shall soon be leaving Lowell Textile, and the days spent at the In- stitute will be only a memory. The class officers, for this our final year, are: Presi- dent, Markarian; Vice-President, Redmond; Secretary, Crawford; Treasurer, Landau; Executive Council Representative, Roarke. As the year comes to a close we begin to realize that those things which we called tough breaks were not so bad after all, and that the best four years of our life are practically over. Soon we shall enter the industrial world to seek our place in the sun. Let us hope that we all may succeed. 32 THE l ):i( PICKOUT II FAR Y STEERE ANTHONY Low oil, Massachusetts AK £ Henry Tom V.A.r.C.C. 2, ;i. 1 Text% 3 Secretary A.A.T.C.C. 4 Eickout 4 A little less than four years ago, none other than our inimitable vest demonstrator, Henry Anthony, arrived at the Institute to tackle the mysteries of the chemistry course. In the battles that occurred between the fresh- men and the sophs, Henry did his bit in turning back the invaders. As a clothes demonstrator he is among the best. As the vears rolled by Henrv found time to associate himself both with the Text and the A.A.T.C.C. and still maintain his scholastic standing. His one great failing is his weakness for the Commodore. Since Henry mastered the art of terpsichore. he has been faithful a patron of that noble ballroom. He bodes to become a com- petitor of Cleo ' s for honors at the Commodore. We know that Henry will find his place in the textile field and will do his share in keeping alive the Textile traditions. LOUIS PETER ATHANASOPOULOS Lowell, Massachusetts Louie EH Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Executive Council 3, 4 Captain, Baseball 3 Captain, Basketball 3, 4 Eli Athanas needs no introduction to anyone who is at all familiar with Lowell Textile. It is very doubtful that any other athlete who ever attended L. T. I. has equalled the record of Eli. His college career as a basketball player bids to be a world ' s record for the number of points which he scored. On the gridiron and the diamond he was equally versatile and effective. His loss from the Textile squads of next year will be sorelv felt. Eli has confined his academic efforts to the field of design, but if he has any of the ability in design that he possesses in his athletic prowess then he will be a great designer for any textile firm. The Class of 1936 wishes him luck in his future under- takings. 33 THE 19 36 PICKOUT CHARLES APOSTOLOS BASDIKIS Lowell, Massachusetts AK Charlie Fraternity Basketball 3, 4 A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Another gift from Lowell High to Lowell Textile is the dapper Charlie Basdikis. As an exponent of the matched ensemble he can vie with such personages as Prof. Stewart. Charlie is another member of the Com- modore squadron. Charlie has done his share in furthering the athletic abilities of the D. K. Fraternity, as well as keeping other things in hand. He has a host of friends at the Institute, and when the Class of ' 36 has been scattered about the country, Charlie will be remembered by his fellow classmates. WESLEY ELLIOTT BATES East Milton, Massachusetts Wen Blinker A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 Blinker Bates in matriculating at Lowell Textile gave notice to the world that East Milton can produce demon drivers as well as students. In the short space of four years, he has killed three autos in his daily dash of seventy-five miles. As well as killing the cars, he shattered the nerves of a few people. If in doubt, ask Nemo Lincoln. By his ability to adjust mechanisms he certainly kept an old green crate going for months after it had been retrieved from the Milton dumps. Wes has been active in the affairs of Phi Psi and has been a consistent member of the President ' s List. In the past year he has been escorting a young lady named Babs from Cambridge to Lowell Teachers ' College. Although he claims the affair is merely platonic, many people think otherwise but just can ' t seem to prove their point. If Wes is an example of the calibre of fellows turned out at Huntington School, then Textile wel- comes such a type. May you have lots of luck in the textile engineering field, Wes. 34 THE 10 3 6 I ' lCKOl 7 WILLIAM BOYD, Jr. Toledo, Ohio on Bill A.A.T.C.C. 3, 4 There comes to Textile from the distant city of Toledo, a quiet unassuming young man by the name of Boyd. Despite his quiet demeanor. Bill has taken an active part in the various activities at the Institute. He is a member of Omicron Pi Fraternity and is a con- scientious student. Bill Boyd leaves the Institute a quiet and modest young fellow who has assimilated all the textile knowl- edge that was given to him and he will undoubtedly go far in the textile industry. Here ' s luck, Bill. A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 3 JOSEPH CALVIN COBB Boston, Massachusetts Joe Interfraternity Council 4 Text 4 PlCKOUT 4 After battling his way through Lowell High School, Joe Cobb decided to conquer the sales engineering course at Lowell Textile and enrolled with the Class of 1935, but later divided his senior courses and became a member of the illustrious Class of 193(5. Joe is a quiet fellow who plugs at his work and sticks to it until the task is accomplished. Under the tutelage of Mr. Edlund, we know that he will eventually attain a position of responsibility with some selling house. During this present year Joe has been a pas- senger of Blinker Bates and Bates claims he is enamored with Babs, but Joe still he carries another picture in his wallet of the girl whom he claims to be the tops. The Class of 1936 knows that he will do his share in holding up the fair name of the class. 35 THE 19 36 PICKOUT ROBERT THOMAS CRAWFORD Boston, Massachusetts Bob Cassy Class Secretary 2, 3, 4 Text 1, 2, 3, 1 Secretary, Executive Council 4 Editor, Text 3 A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 Business Manager, Text 4 Trip Manager A.S.M E 4 Pickout 2, 3, 4 Editor Pickout 4 Bob Crawford also known as Cassy by some of the engineers enrolled at Textile as a wool option engin- eer and is now the sole survivor of the original seven in that group. Besides mastering the intricacies of the woolen and worsted field, he has found time to indulge in the literary field. While many have differed with him on his views all have enjoyed his articles and editorials. He will be long remembered for his tilts with Mr. Ken- ney of the Sun. While he has kept mostly to the literary group, Bob has found time to mix freely in the class affairs. Two questions remain for him to answer. They are: Where does he find the time for all the work?, and Give out the secret on the wizardry of rapid calculation that he knows? Everyone feels that Bob will be a worthy repre- sentative of the Institute in the woolen industry and we know that we ' ll hear more of him in the future. Text 2 LOUIS JULES DURSIN Woonsocket, Rhode Island Lou Baseball 1, 2, 3 After spending a year at Providence College, Lou Dursin came to Lowell Textile and enrolled as a wool man. Besides demonstrating his ability to run a mule, he has displayed some of the greatest ball playing abil- ity ever seen at Textile. When it comes to playing first base, Lou knows no peers. Possessed of high scholastic ability, a keen sense of humor, and the ability to work with other men, Lou is destined to earn a high place for himself in the woolen textile industry. To a true sportsman, and a swell fellow we extend our sincere wishes for success in every effort that you may make in later life. 36 THE 1936 PICK OUT ROLAND MONROE FILLER Lowell, Massachusetts oil Rollie Kifle Club 2, 3, 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 President, Rifle Club 4 Prom out by the Car reaches of the Tewksbury plains, there journeyed to Textile, four years ago a quiet un- assuming lad named Roland Fuller. But, Roily was not long in making his presence known by virtue of his Charlie and Willie imitations and also with his droll humor. As time wore on, Mr. Fuller joined the Rifle ( -lub and as well as being an ardent booster, he has been a crack shot. While Rollie has not been actively engaged in any other activities, he has been a faithful supporter of Tex- tile ' s endeavors. With his disposition and likable per- sonality he is bound to succeed in the textile field. ROLAND OCTAVE GAGNON Lowell, Massachusetts Rollie A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Another son of Lowell High School to matriculate at Lowell Textile is Roland Gagnon. L ' pon his becoming a member of the student body at the Institute he enrolled as a member of the chemistry group. All through his career at the Institute he has been a hard worker and a proficient student. Although he has been a quiet, unassuming student he has earned the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact. His friends wish him luck in his future occupations. 37 THE 19 36 PICKOUT GEORGE GEORGACOULIS Lowell, Massachusetts Cleo A.A.T.C.C. 2. 3, 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball Co-Captain 4 Executive Council 4 Vice-President 2, 3 Fraternity Basketball 2, 3 Another son of Lowell to register as a member of the Class of 1936 is Cleo Georgacoulis who has been an outstanding example of a good student and a good athlete. Cleo started to show his wares as a basket- ball player in his freshman year, and he has been on that squad during his four years at Textile. He can usually be found in the midst of his dye pots or test tubes eagerly delving into the mysteries of his occult choosing. George has a reputation as being one of the leading artists of the Commodore and when it comes to dancing he can defend his laurels. Cleo has both the personality and the mental abil- ity to insure the completion of any task that may come his way when he steps forth in June as a graduate of L. T. I. CHARLES EDWIN GOULD Portland, Maine on Charlie After spending some time at Bowdoin, Charlie Gould decided that he could make a fortune in the tex- tile business, and therewith transferred to L. T. I. He enlisted under the banners of the Wool Department and has been going strong ever since. When it comes to the matter of impersonations, well, Charlie is par ex- cellence in that field. His impersonations of the lead- ing characters about Textile are well known for their realistic touch. He has worked hard to succeed and he deserves credit for his perseverance. To you, Charlie, we wish much happiness and prosperity as the years roll on. 38 — THE 1936 PICKOUT GEORGE CLARENCE HADLEY, Jr. North Adams, Massachusetts on ' George A.S.M.E. 3, 4 Textile Players 2, 3, 4 From the western town of North Adams we present another of our L.T.I, thespians, George Hadley. George was graduated from Cornell with a B.S. degree in Administrative Engineering, and then he decided to indulge in some textile engineering. He has found time to also turn in several very creditable performances as a member of the Textile Players. Aside from his studies and his stage work George is an ardent winter sports enthusiast. In this field of activity he is well versed. We feel sure that George ' s fine qualities, along with our sincere wish for success, will pull him through to the top of the world. RICHARD ALBERT HODGMAN Stoneham, Massachusetts on Dick A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 Rifle Club 1, 2, 3 President A. S. M. E. 4 Vice-President Rifle Club 2 As the representative of the Town of Stoneham we present Dick Hodgman. He once operated a Hud- son, but it met an untimely end and had to be replaced by a Franklin. He has a penchant for big cars. As a student has has been among the leaders of his class as well as actively engaging in the affairs of O Pi. For loud ties and scarves he knows no peers. Endowed with a keen personality and the will to tackle any ob- stacle that confronts him, he will undoubtedly be found in one of the higher branches of engineering after his graduation from Textile. His popularity and ability proves that he is well liked and will be greatly missed after June. 39 THE 19 36 PICKOUT ARTHUR NEWTON HOLDEN Billerica, Massachusetts on Newt A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 If you perchance to see a tall, dreamy looking chap wandering about the halls of Textile, then it is a safe bet that it is none other than our local sphinx, Newt Holden. Quite seriously, however, Newt is a sincere, unassumning worker from the nearby village of Bil- lerica. Undoubtedly t hat explains his genteel demeanor. Newt has established a reputation for himself, that of being nearly as good a physicist as Prof. Harry Brown due to his extended work on the former ' s color apparatus. We are sure that he will be as successful and well liked in the business world as he has been at the Insti- tute. Good luck, Newt. BENJAMIN ALEXANDER HOLGATE Lowell, Massachusetts on Benny Football Manager 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 Business Manager, Pickout 4 Rifle Club 2, 3, 4 Executive Council 4 Secretary A.S.M.E. 4 Benny came to us from Lowell High School and plunged into the general engineering course. He has been an active member in the various student activities and has been one of the big shots of the Rifle Club. Benny drives a fast Graham-Paige and it is re- ported that the competition is keen among those who would like to ride with him. His amicable and jovial disposition makes him welcome in any circle. Best wishes to you Benny in every endeavor, and it is our hope and belief that you will soon succeed as a textile engineer. 40 ; 1936 PICKOUT WILSON GERARD [RELAND Melrose, Massachusetts nil Bill A.S.M.E. ' 2. 8, 4 Executive Council 4 Textile Players 2, 3, 4 President, Textile Players 4 Another gifted personality to enter L. T. I. from the suburban town of Melrose is none other than Bill Ireland. While he came to Textile by the way of M.I.T. he has become a great Textile booster. As a member of the Textile Players he has earned fame as a female im- personator in the annual Tex Shows. It is difficult to think of Bill without also calling to mind that other half of the combination, Mac McQuade. They are the Damon and Pythias combina- tion of the Class of ' 30. There is little left for them to investigate. Endowed with a great personality, active in the social interests of Textile, and a loyal member of Pi, we all know that Bill ' Ireland will be a worthy alumnus of Lowell Textile Institute. ROBERT FREDERICK JESSEN Whitinsville, Massachusetts on Bob Textile Players 1, 2, 4 Business Manager, Pickout 3 Commencement Committee 4 Class President 1 Executive Council 2, 3 Interfraternity Basketball Student Instructor Cotton Yarns 3, 4 Among those who have done the most for the Class of 1936, the name of Bob Jessen stands out in the front ranks. He has actively given of his time and energy to all enterprises that would benefit either the Institute or the class. Possessed of a genial personality and the ability to carry a task to completion, he is a leader among his classmates. Bob has taken an active part in the productions of the Textile Players and his efforts have always been highly commended. While he has spent the greater part of the time under the influence of the Cotton Depart- ment, we all feel that he will be a vital asset to any tex- tile concern. The Class of 1936 extends its best wishes to Bob Jessen, one of the best liked men in the school. 41 THE 1936 PICKOUT A.A.T.C.C. LEE GALE JOHNSTON Haverhill, Massachusetts TE2 ' ' Lee Johnnie , 3, 4 When Haverhill sent Lee Johnston to Textile, she surely sent a most worthy representative. During his courses here at the Institute, Lee has attained a note- worthy record and is one of those chosen few to become a member of the honorary scholastic fraternity. His good nature, pleasing personality, and scholastic ability all welded together form an unbeatable combina- tion. While he will stay another year at Textile as a student instructor in Chemistry there is little doubt that Lee Johnston will nobly represent Textile in the fields of chemistry. May you succeed in every endeavor, Lee. RAYMOND JOHN KAISER Bloomfield, New Jersey tes on Junior Ray Textile Players 2, 3, 4 Vice-President Textile Players 4 Text 3 Interfraternity Council 3, 4 Fraternity Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Coop Manager 4 Pickout 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 From the distant hinterlands of New Jersey, Ray came to Lowell Textile in search of knowledge that would help him in his control over the destinies of Pacific Mills. By his scholastic attainments there is no doubt that in his future connections he will play an im- portant role. Ray has nobly demonstrated that it is possible to be socially active and at the same time be a ranking student. The stage soon lured Ray and he has been a female impersonator of no mean repute in the offerings of the local thespians. Omicron Pi has benefitted by his skillful and thoughtful guidance and counsel. The members of the senior class join in wishing you every success in the future and look with pardonable envy on your past achievements. Best of luck to you, Ray.

Massachusetts The Class of 1936 is honored by having an Instructor in the Wool Department in its ranks. Mr. Kennedy is an instructor in top making. At the outbreak of the World War. he left M. I. T. and entered the Student Army Training Corps. Upon the signing of the armistice he entered the Arlington Mill and enrolled as a student at the I.. T. I. Evening School. After completion of his studies at the evening classes, and his successful con- clusion of the Massachusetts Teachers ' Training Courses in June 1925, he became an instructor at the Institute. His experience has been wide and varied and includes ten years work in the Arlington top mill; wool grading, sales and buying for John E. McMurty of New York City; wide experience in processing in the Wash- ington and Wood Mills; as well as work in textile re- search and appraisals. He is regarded as one of the best liked and one of the most conscientious members of the faculty. His ever willing desire to cooperate and explain difficult phases of his work to the students, have earned for him a cherished spot in the hearts of all whom have come in contact with him. Whether it be in academic or emer- gency work James Kennedy has never failed to do his best. Textile has no truer friend. His exemplary devo- tion to his tasks can well be emulated. DAYID LANDAU Brooklyn, New York Dave A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4. Football Manager 3 Class Treasurer 4 Executive Council 3, 4 Interfraternity Council 4 In keeping up its record as a preparatory school for Lowell Textile, the Textile High School of New York sent Dave Landau as its contribution to Textile ' s Class of 1936. Upon his enrollment at the Institute, he selected the Chemis try Department as his field of labor and he has been a conscientious worker there during the entire four years. He has been active in the affairs of his fra- ternity, and has taken an active part in the athletic and social life at Textile. The members of the Class of ' 36 wish you lots of luck. 43 THE 1936 PICKOUT SHAO-FONG LEE Shanghai, China A.S.M.E. 3, 4 From the other side of the world there eame to Tex- tile a young man by the name of Lee. Mr. Lee attended the Nantung Textile College, and there he became ac- quainted with a professor who was a graduate of L.T.I. Upon the advice of his teacher he came to Lowell in order to further pursue his studies, and he specialized in the cotton courses. It is the intention of Mr. Lee to act as an executive in his father ' s cotton mills when he returns to China. A quiet but effective worker, Mr. Lee has earned the respect and admiration of the instructors and students at Textile. We all wish you every success in your future business engagements. CHARLES ERNEST LINCOLN Boston, Massachusetts Nemo Charlie Link A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Fraternity Basketball 2, 3, 4 We introduce Textile ' s great lover whose affairs have wandered from East Chelmsford, to Wellesley, and to Philadelphia . For such affairs Nemo is the peer of the Class of ' 36. Nemo came to Lowell Textile from Huntington School and enrolled in the chemistry course where today he is toiling over a multitude of dye pots and beakers, and occasionally bellows across the aisle to his bosom friend Axel Welch. Phi Psi Fraternity has a loyal booster in Nemo and every member of the Class of 193fi will long remember Charles Lincoln for his good natured spirit and his loyalty to his studies. 44 THE 19 3 PICKOVT ALLEN JOHN McQUADE Lowell, Massachusetts AK Mac Comnieneement Committee 4 Vice-Pres. A.S.M.E. 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 Interfraternity Council 3 Although Mac is a native son of Lowell he first sought his college career at Yale University. However, after a year at New Haven he returned to his native city and enrolled as an engineer at Textile. He has become an inseparable companion of Bill Ireland and these two lads in company with Soapy Smith have become a well known trio about Textile. Along with his hard, earnest studying Mac has been an ardent supporter of the social endeavors of Textile. He is possessed of a great sense of humor and a most pleasing personality. Here ' s luck to you, Mac. MOUSHY MARKARIAN Lowell, Massachusetts AK$, TES Mark A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Class President Interfraternity Council 4 Executive Council 3, Interfraternity Basketball 2, 3, 4 Another member of the chemists in the Class of 193C to become a member of the honorary fraternity is Moushy Markarian, better known to the fellows as Mark. During the past four years at Textile, he has been a conspicuous figure in the life of the Class of 1936. He is a great booster for his fraternity, and has been active in the affairs of his class, and a leader in scho- lastic ability. Mark will be a worthy representative of Textile, and his fine qualities, along with his intellectual ability will take him to the top of the ladder of success. 45 THE 1936 PICKOUT HARRY DEPEW OLCOTT Lowell, Massachusetts on Sleepy A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Three years ago Harry Olcott transferred to Textile from Northeastern University and became a member of a strange group of occult practicioners known as chem- ists and dyers. He has labored faithfully in the fog- laden atmosphere of the dye labs and has weathered the theories of chemistry in its many forms. His chief diversion is shooting, and at this sport he has earned an enviable reputation. Well liked by all who have come in contact with him, he will be greatly missed by the members of his class when he departs from L. T. I. to enter the field of textile chemistry. GARDNER LAWRENCE RAYMOND Bedford, Massachusetts Gar Interfraternity Basketball Among our local stylists, Gar Raymond takes first prize for his demonstrations of what the well dressed man should wear. As well as being tops as a stylist, he is a demon at the wheel of a car. Evidently his sojourn at the University of Alabama caused him to lose the rustic touch of Bedford, because he certainly has been a live-wire actor during his time here at the Institute. Gar has high ambitions, an amiable and jovial disposition, his work is of the best, and we are sure that he will succeed in any task that may come his way. 46 THE 19 36 PICKOUT A.A.T.C.C. -2. 3. 4 Vice-President 4 Text 3 JAMES REYNOLDS REDMOND Lowell, Massachusetts AK , TES Jimmy lied Textile P yers L 2. 3, 4 Vice President Textile Players 3 Interfraternitv Basketball 2, 15, 4 Jimmy Redmond will long be remembered by his fellow -students for his winning personality; his trumpet solos; and his scholastic ability. He also has built up quite a reputation as a Lothario because of his many trips to the city of Nashua. No assembly was complete without one of his master- ful trumpet renditions, and he was always roundly ap- plauded. He also found time to contribute a column to the Text, and also was a female-impersonator in the annual Tex Shows. Good luck to you, Jimmy. You have the ability to attain fully as much success in the field of chemistry as you have in your past four years at Textile. JOHN JAMES ROARKE Lowell, Massachusetts AK$, TE2 Johnnie Roarky Class President 3 Class Secretary 1 Textile Players 3, 4 Pickout 4 Executive Council 4 Back in 1932, the September season brought to Tex- tile from that section known as the Highlands, none other than little Jacky Roarke. He enrolled under the tutelage of the Chemistry Department and has been during the past four years, a faithful and brilliant student. Besides being a member of the honorary fraternity, he has been active in fraternity affairs, the Tex shows, and the fraternity basketball tilts. As he leaves the Institute and his closest friends, John Roarke has creditably earned their well wishes and profound admiration. They all join in wishing him as successful a business career, as he has enjoyed at the Institute. 47 THE 19 36 PICKOUT — EUGENE HERMAN SCHARSCHM1DT Providence, Rhode Island Gene After absorbing all that Worcester Academy had to offer, genial Gene Scharschmidt moved on to see what Textile had to offer in the way of knowledge. Gene has confined himself chiefly to the design courses as a student, but is also a star member of the Textile baseball squad. Gene has the ability to make friends easily. His good nature and dreamy eyes have made the hearts of many of the fair sex beat faster. Whether he revolutionizes the design business re- mains to be seen, but at any rate Gene will always be a fine fellow and, above all, a true friend. Very sincerely we wish him success and happiness. KANTILAL HIRALAL SHAH Bombay, India Kanti AK I PlCKOUT 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3, 4 Kanti arrived at Textile after a trip from the other side of the world which was punctuated with a European trek. With a head full of logs, trigonometry, and cal- culus, Kanti proceeded to lay low all opposition, instructors included, with his uncanny memory and ability to handle formulae. The advanced subjects such as Heat, Mill, and the like all fell prey to the Einstein of the class. Kanti is a member of Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity and takes an active part in all social events at the Institute. It is his intention to get his Master ' s degree at M.I.T. after he leaves Textile, and then he will return to India to apply his amazing store of knowledge. Lots of luck to you Kanti, it has been a real pleas- ure to work with you. 48 THE 19 3 6 PICKOUT — WILLIAM ARTHUB SMITH. Jr. Lowell, Massachusetts M ' Soapy Bill Smith) A.S.M.E. 4 Commencement Committee 4 Interfraternity Council 3, 4 As Ul(l the an organizer, salesman, and engineer tne inim- itable Soapy Smith is without a peer. His efforts in reorganizing a decadent frat and pulling it to the top is typical of his ability. In class he is ever alert to seek out all possible solutions. Soapy has been active in promoting the welfare of his fraternity as has been very successful in his en- deavors. In the Sales Course he has been a keen inves- tigator of all possible methods and policies and his efforts will undoubtedly be rewarded in the future con- tacts that he will make. As he leaves Textile we can point to him and say, There goes a good student and a fine friend. ALFRED ROSCOE STOKES Rumford. Rhode Island $ Al Editor, Text S Text 1 , 2, 3 Pickout 3 A.S.M.E. 2 When Al Stokes first enrolled at Textile, he signed up as a member of the textile engineering course with the wool option. Since that time however, he has been a three-year wool man, and now is a special student. By the time he leaves L. T. I. he will probably have changed to some other course. Al has been active in the affairs of Phi Psi, and also has served as Editor of the Text, in which capacity he has enjoyed several tilts with the local papers. Of his amorous affairs, we know little, but. we have our sus- picions about his summer activities down at Point Judith. We expect to hear good things about you Al and wish you all the luck in the world. 49 THE 19 36 PICKOUT BERNARD JAMES TYLER Lowell, Massachusetts TE2 Red B. . . Executive Council 1, 3 Commencement Committee 4 Another Lowell High graduate to wend his way to Textile is Red Tyler. Eour years ago he enrolled in the ranks of the chemists and dyers, and today he is among the leaders of the Class of 1936. Red ' ' is a very likeable fellow and a real friend to all who know him. During his school career he has ever been willing to help his fellow classmates, even to ex- plaining P. Chem. To him we wish every success in his chosen field as he leaves the Institute. PRESTON SUMNER VALENTINE Cochituate, Massachusetts TES Val A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Eour long years ago, a young man by the name of Preston S. Valentine made his way to Lowell from the rural town of Wayland. Val enrolled as a chemist and today ranks with the leaders of his class. In so doing, he has demonstrated that by constant applica- tion to study it is possible to attain the top. Val ran the Senior Candy Table and proved to be a hustling vendor. We have always known Val as an untiring faithful worker, and it is not predicting too much to say that he will go far in the field of textile chemistry. 50 — : i :}( pickovt WILLIAM PAUL WELCH, Jr. Lowell, Massachusetts AK$ Bill Axel A.A.T.C.C. 2, 8, -t Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Executive Council 3, 4 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball Manager 3, 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 In presenting ' Axel Welch, we introduce one of the outstanding students in the class. Axel, while not a member of the honorary society, has kept himself in the foreground by his stormy defense of the athletic situa- tion as it exists at Textile. He is the staunch defender of the actions of the A. A. Ever ready to defend his point, and an outstanding player on the various teams of the Institute, Axel will long be remembered by his fellow-students. We have always known Axel as an easy going, but never- theless determined fellow. These qualities will aid him in going along the road of success in his later ventures. RAYMOND BACHMANN WILSON Pawtucket, Rhode Island $ Ray Text 2, 3 Interfraternity Basketball 2, 3 From the well known textile city of Pawtucket, we present as a well known man about Textile, Ray Wilson. His chief interests are in the wool business and under the guidances of Profs. Lowe and Brown, and Mr. Kennedy, he has served his time in the hidden recesses of the Wool Dept. However, may we assure you that he has profited by his stay in those remote regions. Ray is a well liked member of the group and when he departs from the Institute, he will be sorely missed. We are sure that in the years to come we will hear much of the conquests of Ray Wilson. 51 — THE 1936 PICKOUT HERBERT ALVIN AVORMWOOD Andover, Massachusetts on, TEX Herbie A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Pickout 4 President, A.A.T.C.C. 4 From Punchard High School there came to Lowell Textile a gifted young fellow by the name of Herbie Wormwood. He soon made a reputation for himself by virtue of his scholastic ability, and also by his ability to manipulate a camera. He has been the Winched of Textile with his little black bag. Despite the fact that he has worked nights ever since attending Textile, he has found time to support his fra- ternity, the various social events, and to become a member of the honorary scholastic fraternity. His ability coupled with his personality will aid him in going far in the textile chemistry fields. We all feel that he will prove to be a great booster for Textile.

Robbins Frederick P. Allard Herbert W. Wilkinson, Jr. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Executive Council 50 — THE 10 3 6 PICKOUT Junior Class History 1933-1934 On Thursday, September 21, 1933, the Class of 1937 assembled for the first time to register as students of Lowell Textile Institute. An array of cards and an hour plan were handed to us by the Registrar, Miss Ruth Foote, who later instructed us in the manner in which we must fill out this multiplicity of cards. The sopho- more class treasurer made his presence known immediately and asked for a volun- tary (?) contribution from each member of the class. We reluctantly donated the two dollars and were promised an ample return for it. President Charles H. Eames greeted the class of 1937, and introduced the members of the faculty to the class at a banquet given in our honor at the Y.M.C.A. We soon learned what our two dollar donation had been for. The sophomores introduced us to the freshman uniform which consisted of a black shirt, red tie, and a funny little beenie ' called a hat. In this funny little garb, we were taken to various parts of the city by the very friendly (yeah?) sophomores, who in spite of several near riots and uprisings, delighted in taking charge of the class during the noon hour. The Freshman-Sophomore Field Day provided the opportunity for defeating the sophs, and we discarded the ties, shirts, and hats. The Freshman Class held a very successful dance in the early Fall. The Textile Show and Upstream Day were strongly supported by the class. The officers during our first year at Textile were; Francis X. Nerney, George R. Dupee, Frederick Allard, Charles Megas, and G. Frederick Wagner. 1934-1935 Upon the opening of school, a hardy dozen of sophomores held about fifty freshmen well in hand and conducted them on a tour of the city. For some unknown reason the frosh did not appreciate cur enthusiasm in greeting them to our In- stitute. Although the freshmen were victorious on Field Day, the sophomores were generous enough to hold a dance in their honor, with money collected from them earlier in the year. Few realize how rapidly the time is passing, and the second year was soon but a memory. The class officers for the year were: H. W. Wilkinson, Jr., H. C. Churchill, F. P. Allard, Miss Robbins, and G. F. Wagner, Jr. 57 THE 19 3 6 PICKOUT 1935-1936 Shortly after our return to the Institute in the middle of September we realized that this year was destined to be our most difficult, and it has turned out to be so. For this reason few meetings of the class have been held. Because of the loss of our president-elect, Richard Moushegian, through his appointment to West Point a second election was held. The officers elected were: President, Francis X. Nerney; Vice-President, Robert K. Lyle; Secretary, Miss Lucy W. Robbins; Treasurer, Frederick P. Allard; and Representative to the Ex- ecutive Council, Herbert W. Wilkinson, Jr. The class, as a whole, has made a very good scholastic record with the majority of our members who are active in athletic and social functions remaining in good academic standing.

OQCqCSh SOPHOMORES THE 1936 PICKOUT The Sophomore Class OFFICERS Kenneth R. Fox George D. Sood Anita M. Dori Alda J. Cherr Tom Comstock James F. Lyons, Jr. President Vice-President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Treasurer Executive Council G 2 — THE 1936 PICKOUT Sophomore Class History 1934-1935 On Thursday, September L 20, 1934, the class of 1938 made its first entrance into Lowell Textile Institute. The class was greeted by Professor Dow, and was further conducted through its first day amazement by Miss Foote, after the many cards were filled out, and the purposes of the extra curricular activities were ex- plained by the respective Faculty Managers. In the afternoon the class was greeted by President Eames and Mr. Royal P. White. The following day brought forth a period during which the class was organized and given a color blind test under the direction of Professor Howarth and Mr. Everett. Herbie Wilkinson, president of the class of 1937, made his presence known by the demanding of two dollars and at the same time promised many en- joyable (?) experiences for our donations. Later during the day, each freshman made his contribution towards the renowned Rogue ' s Gallery and so ended the Orientation. The first important foothold gained by the class consisted of trouncing the sophomores in the annual Freshman-Sophomore Field Day. The freshmen were victorious in the basketball and football games. The points gained in these events coupled with later victories were sufficient to give the victory to the class of 1938. As a result of the victory the class abandoned the shirts, ties, and hats. The class officers during the freshman year were: President, Kenneth Fox; Vice-President, Roger Oliver; Secretary, Hubert Murphy; Treasurer, Tom Corn- stock; Representative to Executive Council, James Lyons; Executive Committee, Earl Olsen, Burgess Harpoot, Thomas Hardy; Social Committee, Francis Bresler, John Fleming, Stephen Ivostrzewa. 1935-1936 Feeling quite different toward Lowell Textile Institute after having completed the Freshman year, the Class of 1938 once again entered through the portals of Southwick Hall. The first few days were spent in collecting two dollars from the Freshies in payment for the promise of seeing Lowell. On September 23, 1935, the class sponsored a smoker in honor of the Class of 1939 endeavoring to orient the first year students. An interesting program featur- ing John McMammon of the famous Notre Dame Seven Mules presented an enjoyable program for all who attended. 63 — THE 19 3 6 PICKOUT The next few weeks were spent in conducting the brightly-decked Frosh through the much discussed hazing. Field Day was next in line. Although much argument emanated from this day, it was generally conceded by all that the Class of 1938 was the victor. Such a triumph meant that the Frosh were to continue wearing their outfit until Christmas vacation. However, due to a marked misun- derstanding, the uniforms were abandoned. Such an action caused much furor, but today most of the differences have been happily ironed out rendering a friendly bond between the two classes. The officers elected to lead the class during the Sophomore year are as follows : President, Kenneth R. Fox; Vice-President, George Sood; Treasurer, Tom Corn- stock; Recording Secretary, Anita Dori; Corresponding Secretary, Alda Cherr; Representative to the Executive Council, James Lyons. 64 THE 1936 I ' lCKOVT 1938 Class Roll Xante Cour Allard, Frederick Pratt Broadhurst, Russell Denton Buckley, Herman Timothy Cherr, Alda Jay Clarke, John Thomas Comstock, Tom Copp, Sewall Edward Ctjtrombes, Demosthenes John Depoian, Vasken John Dori, Anita Marie Dcpee, George Richardson Fine, Milton Arnold Fleming, John Harvey Fox, Kenneth Russell Freedman, David Fyfe, Robert Clark Garcia, Lorenzo Montero Getchell, Nelson Fletcher Grossman, Clinton Hardy, Thomas Wadsworth Harpoot, Burgess Charles Holem, Charlie Howard, Winfield Hersey Kaplan, Samuel Gilbert Kelakos, Charles George Kelly, Warren Thomas Klosowicz, Edward Joseph Knight, Richard G.

Russell Cunningham President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Executive Council 08 the i :u riCKOvr Freshman Class History September 19, 1935 Arrived at the gates of Lowell Textile Institute at nine a.m. cowering under the impressive buildings. Just inside the door was an information desk at which large yellow envelopes filled with mysterious cards and Freshman identification pins were handed out. The next stop was Room 361. Here was a warmer and friendlier atmosphere than had been found before. Our advisor, Professor James G. Dow, gave a short and pleasant welcome speech along with a few helpful hints. In this room our life histories were made out and Rogues ' Gallery pictures were taken in case of attempted escape. After having been told to report the following day in order that we might meet the various professors and instructors, and that we might purchase necessary supplies at the then mystifying Co-op, we were dismissed. September 23, 1935 The first day of school! This was the day when the upper classmen stood in the corridors looking us over as if a menagerie had entered the buildings. Before lunch the Sophomores had put in their expected appearance. They passed out the flashy uniforms of black shirts, white workman ' s gloves, bright red flowing ties, and red caps. Along with this regalia were rule books which were to be studied faithfully. It was announced that the uniforms were to be worn Tuesday, and that initiation began Monday night at midnight. Attended a smoker in the evening given for the freshmen in order that they become acquainted with their classmates and teachers. President Eames made a short welcome speech, with a program and refreshments following. September 25, 1935 Not to be outdone by the boys, the Co-eds gave the three freshman girls an in- itiation. They were compelled to carry a large green ribbon on their books, wear white gloves, and carry colorfully decorated milkbottles with red rubber balls as stoppers. By this date initiation was in full swing. An impromptu visit has been made to the Teachers ' College, Paddles had been used unsparingly, Bob Lambert had been presented with a marcel, Russ Cunningham with a permanent, Ev Reed had had practice at peeling onions, numerous proposals had been made to the Co-eds and many other such antics carried on. 69 THE 1936 PICKOUT October 14, 1935 Class elections were held this morning. First, primaries were held, at which time we discovered we had several notable orators. The winners of the election were as follows: J. Lester Greene, President Stuart A. Bone, Vice-President Helen J. Jarek, Secretary Burton C. Winkler, Treasurer H. Russell Cunningham, Representative to Executive Council October 30, 1935 The first important step taken at class meetings was the question of Field Day. A committee was chosen, and they made arrangements with the Sophomores which would be favorable to both classes. Although Field Day was won by the Sopho- mores, they have to admit that we put up stiff competition and showed that we had many promising athletes in our midst. The first feature of the day was a very excit- ing basketball game which ended in a tie. The tug-a-war was won by the Sopho- mores, while we proved ourselves the leaders on the track. Last but not least, the football honors went to the Sophomores. Thus the boys will still wear their uniforms. The Freshman co-eds no longer have to carry their initiation equipment because they challenged the Sophomore co-eds to a race which they refused. December 18, 1935 To prove ourselves socially fit, we held a Freshman Christmas Dance. Under the guidance of the Social Committee, and the untiring effort of our advisor, we may truthfully say this occasion was a great success. Many comments were made upon the originality of the decorations. On this occasion we proved ourselves capable of handling the Sophomores who meant the dance to be doomed a failure. The Freshman class have proven themselves initiative from the start. We hope to keep up the good work and will do our utmost to be credit to our school.

The schedule called for games with the strong Boston College, Providence, New Hampshire and Northeastern nines, and the fact that Textile won five and lost five in the face of such severe opposition is indeed a worthy tribute to their efforts. Albert Alcott and Kenneth Fox as pitchers turned in creditable performances in their duels against the more powerful rivals. TEXTILE— BROWN This game which was scheduled for April 13 was cancelled on account of rainy weather and was not played later in the season as no convenient time could be ar- ranged by either team. TEXTILE 13— U.S. COAST GUARD 1 On April 20, Textile journeyed to New London where they shelled the U.S. Coast Guard by the decisive score of 13 to 1. Lou Dursin of Textile was the star of the day with four hits, a single and three doubles, in five times at bat. He scored three of the thirteen runs and accepted six chances at first base without an error. Al. Alcott pitched the first seven innings and was then relieved by Ken Fox who completed the game. Leo Poremba played a good game as catcher. Textile had twelve hits to its credit against five for the Coast Guard. Lowell had three errors as compared to five for the New London team. TEXTILE 5— NORTHEASTERN 2 In a game that was full of thrills throughout its entire length a superb Textile team took the highly touted Northeastern nine into camp by a score of 5 to 2. The game was played on the Boston team ' s home grounds and only a last minute single saved Northeastern from a shutout. Alcott was in fine form and held the Boston team scoreless until McCarthy singled to centre with two out. An error, coupled with a single and a pass allowed two Northeastern runs. Grossman, Scharschmidt, Bogacz and Dursin played fine ball and coupled with Alcott ' s pitching were chiefly responsible for the defeat of the Boston team. McCarthy and Mitchell starred for Northeastern. 75 THE 19 36 PICK OUT TEXTILE 19— CAMBRIDGE COLLEGIANS On April 27, the Textile squad played and defeated the Cambridge Collegians on the Institute grounds by the decisive score of 19 to 0. This team was composed of a group of M.I.T. students who play ball for their own enjoyment and are not an official varsity team. Ken Fox and Ed. Liebmann both pitched for Textile and held the University City boys scoreless and hitless during the entire game. Textile scored most heavily in the third inning when they collected six runs. The game marked Textile ' s third consecutive victory and the team showed that it would continue to give a good ac- count of itself later in the season. TEXTILE 5— BOSTON COLLEGE 10 Textile celebrated May Day by meeting a powerful Boston College nine at Newton only to go down to defeat by a margin of five runs. The powerful B.C. nine packed too great a punch for the Textile and despite the heavy hitting of Grossman, Athanas, and Curtin the team lacked the weight to down a much superior foe. Ted Galligan of B.C. allowed but seven scattered hits, while the Newton team pounded the offerings of Alcott, Fox, and Liebmann for fourteen hits. Athanas re- sorted to his specialty of base stealing and managed to successfully steal two during the game. Lou Dursin was the outstanding baseman of the game being credited with thirteen putouts and one assist. Textile scored two runs in the sixth and two in the seventh when Curtin, Gross- man, and Athanas found the range and gave Galligan a few unpleasant moments. Concannon and O ' Flaherty were by far the outstanding players for the Boston College nine. TEXTILE 2— PROVIDENCE 12 On Monday, May 6, the Textile nine in a game that was played on the home field dropped the contest to the powerful Providence College club by the score of 12 to 2. Fred Collins, the Friars ' southpaw proved to be too good for Textile who was only able to collect four scattered hits off him. While the score was not impressive on the Textile end, the team put up a stout battle but the superiority of the Providence club proved fatal to the Yarnall men. Alcott allowed nine hits in eight innings, while Fox and Liebmann were nicked for three hits each in the final chapter. Collins pitched hitless ball for seven innings and against such odds the Textile squad found the game too much for them. Janes, Athanas, Poremba, and Lou Dursin were the Textile men who hit safely and collected two runs for Textile in the last two innings. 76 THE 1936 PICKOUT TEXTILE 3— NEW HAMPSHIRE 10 May 11, proved to be a lucky day for New Hampshire, but they had their luck at the expense of the Textile ball team. Up until this time the New Hampshire Wild- cats were unable to snare a victory and they finally broke loose by defeating Textile. Alcott and Fox pitched good ball for Textile and allowed only seven hits, but two home runs by the New Hampshire team coupled with several other timely hits resulted in the downfall of the Institute platers. Athanas was the outstanding Textile batter in safely hitting twice in four trips to the plate. Dursin and Scharschmidt also safely batted for Textile. If the Wildcats had not coupled their two home-runs with a few timely blows it is very likely that Rusty ' s crew would have kept New Hampshire in the losing column. TEXTILE 5— AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL Textile climbed back into the winning column by defeating the American In- ternational baseball team by the score of 5 to in a game played on the home campus . Textile returned to its earlier season stride and as well as making its hits count, it also shutout the opposition. Alcott and Fox turned in a good account of themselves and were ably supported by the rest of the team. Athanas, Curtin, Dursin and Scharschmidt were mainly responsible for the downfall of the International nine. TEXTILE 1— SPRINGFIELD 5 In this contest against the strong Springfield nine, Textile reversed its form of the previous contest and dropped the game by a score of 5 to 1. Whitman of Spring- field pitched a four hit game. Neither team scored until the fifth when Scharschmidt doubled to left, took third on Bogacz ' s single and then scored on Welch ' s outfield fly. Up until the sixth inning Alcott pitched air-tight ball for Textile, but two home runs by Huston and Allen resulted in opening the barrage that downed a fighting Textile nine. Alcott pitched great ball and if it had not been for an unfortunate sixth inning- he had a good chance of being the victor. Scharschmidt and Alcott scored heaviest in batting for Textile. Allan and Huston starred for Springfield. TEXTILE 10— CLARK 4 With another reversal of form Yarnall ' s team returned to the winning side of the ledger by downing Clark to the tune of 10 to 4. 77 THE 19 36 PICKOUT Playing without the services of Leo Poremba the squad battered the Worcester aggregation in a manner that left no doubt as to the superiority of the contesting clubs. Curtin and Bogacz starred for Textile. Curtin collected four hits in six trips to the plate, while Bogacz garnered three hits. Fox pitched the first seven innings for Textile and yielded nine hits, while Alcott gave two hits in the final two innings. Sid Kaplan, substituting for Poremba, as catcher turned in a sterling game. Bogacz, Comstock, Curtin, and Athanas were the outstanding men on the Textile squad. Granger, the Clark pitcher, was the star for the opposition with eight strikeouts to his credit. TEXTILE— ITHACA This game which was scheduled for May 25 was cancelled when the New York state club was forced to abandon its visit to Lowell due to the cancellation of an- other game on their schedule. TEXTILE 0— NORTHEASTERN 4 In a spirited game that was played on the Textile campus on Saturday, June 1, as a part of the Alumni Day program, the Northeastern nine avenged their defeat by Textile in a previous game. Despite the best efforts of Alcott, aided by Ken Fox, and the entire squad Northeastern by superior playing shutout the Textile crew before a large number of the Alumni who had returned for Alumni Day. Allowing for the fact that Textile dropped this final game, the team made a good showing for the season by winning five games and losing five. With such power- ful opponents as Boston College, Providence, and New Hampshire and a relatively small squad as compared to the opposing clubs, the Textile nine creditably repre- sented the Instiute. BASEBALL PROSPECTS FOR 1936 In 1935 we broke exactly even in baseball, winning five games and losing five. Of the five teams which defeated us, Boston College had a most enviable rec ord, Providence beat Yale and interrupted Holy Cross ' s string of twelve successive vic- tories, New Hampshire played Dartmouth an eleven-inning tie game, and Spring- field had won 11 out of 14 games at the time we played them. Considering the high caliber of our opponents, we feel that we had a successful season in 1935. 78 THE 19 36 PICKOUT As the PiCKOUT goes to press, we stand at the threshold of the 1936 season, with a schedule of 16 games facing us. The prospects for a successful season look bright, for the enthusiasm is high and 33 players are seeking to make the 1936 team, one of the largest squads Textile has ever had. Included in the list are 10 letter men: Ken Fox and Al Alcott, pitchers; Louis Athanas, Louis Dursin, Louis Bassett, Tom Comstock and Baird Ritchie, as infielders; William Welch and Eugene Schar- schmidt, in the outfi eld; and Frank Nerney, catcher, who played in the outfield his Freshman year, but who was unable to give the time to baseball last year. Leading candidates who may displace some of the above-mentioned regulars are Fred Thomas, pitcher; John Hackett and Alexander Allaire, catchers; Herbert Wilkin- son and Sidney Marsden, outfielders; and Herman Buckley, John Brantman, and Roger Kane, infielders. One of the encouraging factors is the fact that eleven of the candidates are Freshmen and eleven are Sophomores. Hence whatever we can ac- complish in developing players this year will help us for two or three years to come. Hence, with a fine coach, a well-balanced schedule, and a large squad of en- thusiastic candidates, we expect our 1936 baseball team to create a bright spot in the athletic history of the Lowell Textile Institute. 1936 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 15 Brown at Providence 18 Tufts at Medford 22 Assumption at Worcester 25 Open 27 American International at Springfield 29 Clark at Worcester May 1 L T nited States Coast Guard at New London 2 Harvard Grads at Lowell 7 Middlebury at Middlebury 8 New York State Teachers at Albany 12 New Hampshire at Lowell 14 Boston College at Newton 16 L T psala at Lowell 20 Providence at Providence 23 Northeastern at Lowell 30 Harvard Grads June 6 Assumption at Lowell 12 Springfield at Springfield 7!) . !• i be - - oj 53 Qj O cS w s - « be 3 fc B °3 .

The field was muddy, the team was new, and the team was not functioning with the co-ordination that comes from long practice. Practice had not begun until Sep- tember 16. Lowell held well until the last quarter when the lack of conditioning and the strain of their first really hard scrimmage, as well as the fact that the ground was muddy and rain fell continually, began to tell on the men. New Hampshire ' s nimble backs began to ooze through Lowell Textile ' s defense. Please remember that Lowell has a very light team, and coupling this fact with the above mentioned ones Textile can feel that the defeat was not without a valiant struggle. TEXTILE 20— AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL 7 With Louis Athanas playing as quarterback, the Textile eleven collected its first victory of the season at the expense of American International. The Springfield team put up a spirited defense but they could not match the Textile squad. In the opening period the Textile crew took to the air and demonstrated the possibilities of forward passes and laterals. Athanas, Bogacz, Caveney, Grossman and Bassett gave a good account of themselves in this work. After a thirty-three- yard march in the first quarter Bogacz went over the line for the first touchdown of the game, and Athanas kicked the point after touchdown. Textile again scored in the first half, but the point after touchdown failed and Textile led at the half 13-0. Action lagged in the third period until Athanas intercepted an International pass on their 40-yard line and ran the full distance for a touchdown. He finished this stunt by kicking the extra point. International ' s lone goal came late in the third period when Connors shot a long pass to Nasciembeni who then raced thirty yards for a touchdown. Sibley collected the extra point by rushing the ball across the chalk line. Athanas, Bogacz, and Bassett shone for Textile, while Connors, Sibley and Nasciembeni starred for American International. THE 19 36 PICKOUT TEXTILE 0— UPS ALA 19 In a first half battle Textile held a fighting Upsala eleven to a draw, but in the third period Textile weakened and the result was a washout for Textile. A fumbling streak in the third period proved to be the downfall of Textile as the New Jersey squad garnered all its points in this period. In the opening minutes of the period Albanese recovered a fumble and in two plays he scored. Before the Lowell crew had fully recovered from such a shock Nustrom intercepted a Textile forward and crossed the line for another touchdown with Tortorella booting the point after touchdown. In the closing minutes of the same period the elusive Albanese recovered another Textile fumble, and two plays later went over for the third Upsala touch- down. In the fourth quarter Textile stiffened its defense and no further scoring re- sulted, but the damage had been done as Textile was unable to score. It was an off day for Textile, and if ever the breaks were against the squad they certainly were in that third period. TEXTILE 0— C. C. N. Y. 19 The fifteen pounds per man advantage of C.C.N.Y. over Textile contributed heavily to the defeat of Textile in this game. In rushing C.C.N.Y. gained 285 yards, while Textile made but 74. In yards gained by forwards Textile had 56 against C.C.N.Y. ' s total of 32. Textile ' s punts averaged 37 yards to 23 for the New York crew. The figures plainly show that the superior weight and a larger squad were the chief factors in the defeat of Textile. C.C.N.Y. scored twice in the first period, but a stiff Textile defense in the second quarter completely stopped the Lavender squad. In the third period the New York eleven scored another touchdown, with Rockwell converting the extra point. Again in the final stanza of the contest the Lowell eleven put up a spirited defense and stopped the opposing crew. The game ended with a victory for C.C.N.Y. by a score of 19 to 0. A large delegation of the New York alumni of Lowell Textile rooted for the team and after the game they entertained them. Doukszewicz, LaBonte, Allaire, Caveney and Athanas starred for Textile; while Schimenty, Rockwell and Marchetti played great ball for C.C.N.Y. TEXTILE 6— NOR THEASTERN 13 In a game that must have been a nightmare for the Northeastern team, the Textile squad waged a fierce battle only to lose by a score of 13 to 6. The highly touted Boston team had expected to take Textile into camp by a very one-sided score but they were treated roughly by the Lowell squad. 83 THE 19 36 PICKOUT — The first period was uneventful in that neither team was able to score at the expense of the other. In the second quarter, however, Hakanson the brilliant North- eastern star returned a punt for 65 yards to place his team in front. In the third period Textile recovered a Northeastern fumble on the enemy ' s 20-yard line and then started a drive that only ended when Athanas forced his way over the goal line. The try for the point after touchdown failed. In the fourth quarter Mahaffey after a series of long drives scored again for Northeastern while Hart scored the point after the touchdown. Herb Wilkinson made a spectacular tackle when in the last period he nailed Hart on the Textile ten-yard line after he had travelled eighty yards with an inter- cepted forward pass. Although Textile lost by the narrow margin of one touchdown, there is no doubt that it was every bit the equal of Northeastern. Textile gained 103 yards by forwards as compared to 12 yards for Northeastern. In punting average the Lowell team had 56 yards as compared to 35 for Northeastern. Wilkinson, Athanas, Bogacz, and Archinski starred for Textile, while Hakanson, Hart, and Mahaffey played excellent ball for Northeastern. TEXTILE 0— SPRINGFIELD 53 In a game that was full of heartaches Textile dropped its contest with a power- ful Springfield eleven by the one-sided score of 53 to 0. If Textile ever played against a whirlwind or a demon player, it was Huston of Springfield. Textile ' s defense and strategy just refused to function, and this coupled with the fact that the Springfield College team was having a great season was just to much for Textile. It was the worst defeat of the season for Textile but nevertheless the team did it best under most adverse circumstances. TEXTILE 25— BROOKLYN TECH 7 In a game that demonstrated the entire Textile repertoire of forwards, laterals, and the like Textile proceeded to bury Brooklyn by a score of 25 to 7. Athanas and Caveney were unbeatable as a passing combination and their skill proved the un- doing of the Brooklyn team. Athanas scored three touchdowns for Textile, and Caveney also garnered one for the Yarnall crew. The longest run of the game was a 65-yard dash by Lou Athan- as and Caveney later ran 48 yards for the final Textile score. Brooklyn was unable to score until late in the final quarter when with nearly 84 THE 19 3 PICKOUT all the Textile regulars out of the game, Welch of Brooklyn, intercepted a forward pass and galloped 38 yards to avert a shutout. Caveney, Athanas, Doukszewicz, and Wilkinson shone for Textile, while Welch and Post starred for Brooklyn. TEXTILE 31— ARNOLD 13 In its final game of the season Textile took the Arnold team into camp by a score of 31 to 13. The game was played under conditions that resembled the Arctic weather and only a few witnessed this fine game. In the opening minutes of the first quarter Archinski and Caveney hustled the ball down the field for a Textile touchdown. Athanas and Bogacz played important roles in this early scoring. With only a few minutes of the opening stanza left, the Arnold squad scored by virtue of a 37-yard pass from Shipke to Lockery. In the second quarter Textile again scored when Banta recovered a fumble and on the next play Banta received a thirty-yard pass from Athanas thus giving Textile a six-point lead as the half drew to a close. In the second half Rosenstein recovered an Arnold fumble and after a few plays Athanas reversed his field and in an off tackle run galloped 51 yards for a touch- down. Textile received the kick-off and after three plays Athanas again eluded the would-be Arnold tacklers and added six more points to the Textile score. In the final quarter both teams took to the air and Allaire snared an Arnold forward but was dropped in his tracks. With a series of powerful drives Textile marched 35 yards for the final Textile touchdown. Archinski collected the point after touchdown. In the closing minutes of the game Arnold marched to the Textile 40-yard line and then a long pass from Janenda to Lockery netted a touchdown for the New Haven team. Lewis ' placement kick accounted the point. Athanas, Caveney, Bogacz, Allaire and Rosenstein were outstanding for Tex- tile, while Lockery, Janenda, and Shipke starred for Arnold. Thus Textile drew its season to a close with three victories and five defeats. FOOTBALL PROSPECTS FOR 1936 It is difficult, at this time, to know whether we shall have a successful football season in 1936 or not, for it is hard to know whether the favorable factors will out- weigh the difficulties to be faced. In our schedule of eight games, four will be against opponents that have far larger and more powerful squads than ours — New Hamp- shire, Maine, Northeastern, and Upsala. The other four, Panzer, American Inter- national College, Brooklyn, and Arnold, have squads about the same size as ours. 85 THE 19 36 PICKOUT — The most favorable factor is the fact that we shall have 14 out of 20 letter men back. With the exception of Bill Welch, who has played tackle the last four years, the line is intact from tackle to tackle. On the other hand, the six men whom we lose are players of exceptional ability. We shall miss John Bogacz, last year ' s captain and the best end Textile has ever had. Daly, another end, will probably not be available because of last year ' s injury. However, it is the backfield that is hit the hardest, for three of the four starting men will be lost. Bill Caveney and Tony Archinski did not return to college the second term, and Louis Athanas, our most outstanding back last season, finishes his scholastic program in June. We have only two dependable veterans for our backfield in 1937 — Louis Bassett, captain-elect, and Russ Cunningham, a Sophomore who appears to have the makings of an ex- cellent line-plunging and defensive back. We shall have to wait till fall in order to know our real prospects. If the in- coming Freshman class offers us players of the type of those whom we are losing, and if last year ' s players continue to show constant development, then and then only can we hope for a season with our share of victories. In any case, we plan to start practice a week earlier than usual, in order to have abundant time to condition our players and give them plenty of drill in those funda- mentals which are so necessary to perfecting a tight defense and a powerful offense later in the season.

The competition encountered by the Millmen was of the highest calibre and the results attained by the vest-pocket squad belittle the imagination of even the most optimistic of souls. In defeating Springfield, the Textile squad reached the peak. The loss of two contests to Providence is not to be taken as a mere loss when one considers that the games were lost by a margin of two baskets each. The scores speak for themselves. The team centred about Louis Eli Athanas who is the leading scorer in New England circles and was closely followed by another Textile player, Joe Douksze- wicz. John Bogacz, Charles Kelakos, George Georgacoulis, and Lou Bassett com- prised the rest of the first-string Lowell line-up. Ploubides, Pease, Hackett, Storey and Brantman comprised the rest of the squad. Next year will be a hard one for Textile because Athanas, Bogacz, and Georgacoulis will be lost through graduation. It will be hard indeed to replace such a trio. No higher tribute could have been paid to the efforts of Prof. Gushing and Rusty Yarnall than the brilliant show- ing of the team. Let us hope that next year will see a successful team. TEXTILE 62— FALL RIVER TEXTILE 26 Textile started the season in a rush when it swept the Fall River Textile quin- tet right off their feet by the one sided score of 62 to 26. In the opening half Textile just couldn ' t get going and scored only 26 points as compared to Fall River ' s 17. In the second period, however, Lowell got under way in earnest and collected an- other 36 points. Athanas was high scorer with 27 points, while Freedman of Fall River tallied 17 points for his team. Bassett showed good form in running up 14 points for Textile. TEXTILE 54— SETH LOW 30 In this contest with the boys from Brooklyn, Textile found a hard fighting aggregation who played a high class type of ball. Seth Low held Textile even for the first seven minutes, but they made a fatal mistake when they let Athanas get loose. When the visitors did finally put two men on Eli it did cut down his scoring streak, but the damage had been done. Athanas scored 32 points and gave one of the most brilliant demonstrations of how to play basketball ever seen in Lowell. Cappetta was the star for Seth Low and gathered 12 points for his squad. Textile lead 27 to 13 at the half but went on a scoring streak in the second period. 89 THE 193 6 PICKOUT Bassett and Georgacoulis played well for Textile, while Wagner and Levine of Seth Low played classy ball for the Brooklyn visitors. TEXTILE 42— M. I. T. 31 Textile won its third consecutive game when it defeated the Engineers from Cambridge to the tune of 42 to 31. At the end of the first half Textile was in the lead 22 to 16, but at the opening of the second period M. I. T. took the lead and the game see-sawed back and forth with the outcome in doubt for some time. Billy Wu who had been effectively guarding Athanas was injured in the second period and forced to leave his post. Athanas then went on another scoring streak and when the final whistle blew the score was Textile 42, M. I. T. 31. The game was a well matched contest and Textile played a flashy game. Doukszewicz scored 9 points, while Athanas collected 26 points for Textile. Kangas and Thornton were the high scorers for the Cambridge Engineers. TEXTILE 64— AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL 13 Well on their way to an eventful season Textile piled up the huge score of 64 points in their victory over American International. The game which was played on Textile ground was uneventful except for the scores attained by Athanas who garnered 27 points, and Dyce who netted 11 points for Textile. It just wasn ' t any night for American International to tackle the Millmen. TEXTILE 30— PROVIDENCE 35 Despite the gallant efforts of the Textile squad in a hair-raising game played at the Rex Centre, the Textile men were unable to shake the Providence jinx. The Friars came to Lowell with the intention of humiliating the Spindle City men but when they left they were glad to get out as they did. The game was ever in doubt and only in the final minutes of the second period was the outcome predictable. The contest was staged at the Rex and a record crowd turned out to see one of the best basketball games in the history of Lowell. At the intermission Providence was leading 24 to 15, but Textile opened the second half with a rush and in a few moments took the lead. The game then developed into a gruelling, hard fought battle with plenty of stiff action on both sides. General McLellan certainly had a hectic night of it with his Providence crew. Despite the guard kept over Athanas he continued to pile up points to the total of 14 in this game. Georgacoulis and Kelakos played excellent ball for Textile, while Davin, Hagstrom, Carew, and Bobinski starred for Providence. The game was a whirlwind from start to finish. At the conclusion of this contest, Athanas had netted 128 points in five games. 90 THE 103 PICKOVT — TEXTILE 42— ASSUMPTION 22 Textile swung back into the winning column by defeating Assumption on the Worcester court by the score of 42 to 22. As per schedule Athanas was high scorer. TEXTILE 27— BROOKLYN COLLEGE 25 This game played at the Rex Centre was a ripping, hard fought battle in which Textile turned back the much touted Brooklyn quintet by the narrow margin of 2? to 25. The contest was replete with thrills throughout and the contest was a heartbreaker for Brooklyn to lose. The Brooklyn boys demonstrated a very clever passing game but they were unable to overcome the narrow margin by which Textile was declared the victor. TEXTILE 40 U. S. COAST GUARD ACADEMY 36 In continuing their winning streak, Textile ' s aggregation took a trip down to New London and returned with the scalp of the Coast Guard Academy. At the end of the half Textile was trailing 25 to 20, but they soon destroyed the Coast Guard lead when they got under way in the second stanza. Textile was never headed off in the second half and Athanas collected 20 points in the game. Bassett played well for Textile and netted 10 points. Cass of the Coast Guard netted 15 points, while his colleague Waldron scored 11 points. TEXTILE 36— NEW HAMPSHIRE 32 This game was a sore loss to New Hampshire who had figured heavily on stop- ping the Textile rampage. Hansen of N. H. was detailed to keep Athanas under cover and he overdid himself and was ejected for personal fouls. While Athanas did not emerge as the leading scorer of the evening he did net 10 points for Textile, and Doukszewicz collected 18 for the Millmen. Rogean and Bronstein were high men for the Granite State team with 8 points apiece. The New Hampshire college papers in reporting the game spoke in highest terms of the ability of Dyce to demonstrate his ability as a basketball player. TEXTILE 41— ARNOLD 31 Accounting for 20 points single-handed, Athanas led Textile to a victory over Arnold by a score of 41 to 31. Arnold put up an unexpectedly tough resistance and forced Textile to play heads up ball but the squad proved themselves the masters of the situation. Bogacz, Bassett, and Georgacoulis were outstanding Textile play- ers, while Lewis, Joyce, and Janenda were the outstanding Arnold players. 91 THE 1936 PICKOUT TEXTILE 31— NORTHEASTERN 34 On February 8, Textile met the Northeastern five on the Boston court and lost a hard fought game to Northeastern. Textile which had only been beaten once in ten starts dropped a fluke game to the Boston team. The strong Lowell Tech five beaten only by Providence College in 10 games was battled all the way by the fighting Northeastern quintet which previously had won one game out of six. The Huskies were ahead 10 to 4 early in the first period when Capt. Allan Mel- ville and Ted Bialkowski led an assault but Joe Doukszewicz star center was a factor in scoring for the visitors and the count was 12 — 10 in favor of Northeastern at half time. Co-capt. Athanas, the leader of 250 basketball players with 214 points was held effectively by Rice in the second half as his teammates took a commanding lead. Rice made it 14 to 10 and Doukszewicz tallied from the floor for Lowell. Athanas tied it at 14 all, and Morse and Rice put the locals ahead, 18 to 14. Morse on a fairly short shot added two points and Rice ' s basket brought the count to 22 to 14. Morse added another floor goal and Doukszewicz sank one and the score was 24 to 16. Morse scored again and Doukszewciz missed two fouls, and when Spidell caged two fouls and Melville shot one from underneath it was 30 to 16 in favor of Northeastern. Lowell rallied but the margin was too much to overcome. Three successive baskers by Doukszewicz featured the final rally. TEXTILE 58— N. Y. STATE TEACHERS 44 The Textile squad left Lowell in the midst of a blizzard to head for Albany to play the N. Y. State Teachers College on the same night. After battling snow drift, wind and rain the boys arrived in Albany at nine P. M. and despite the late hour and arduous drive they met and conquered the Teachers by the score of 58 to 44. Considering the trip and its troubles, Textile attained the heights by such a victory. Athanas regained his old form and gathered 27 points, while Bassett netted 2 and Dyce collected 14 for Textile. Bancroft played stellar ball for the Teachers and netted 16 points, while his partner, Margison scored 10 points. It was a well deserved victory for Textile. TEXTILE 41— MIDDLEBURY 44 On the second night of their stormy Northern schedule, Textile dropped a close one to the Middlebury quintet on the latter ' s court by a score of 44 to 41. 92 THE 1936 PICKOUT Middlebury gained the load in the closing few minutes when Textile committed a series of technical fouls. TEXTILE 56— ARNOLD 32 Textile started off with a bang in the first stanza and ran Arnold off their feet. Athanas got back into form and collected 26 points and increased his lead as cham- pion New England scorer. Janenda played brilliant ball for the New Haven boys but they could not overcome the superior speed and skill of the Textile men. Textile played a very clever passing game in this contest and the starring work of Athanas was well backed up by Bassett and Dyce. Janenda was the star player for Arnold and scored 15 of Arnold ' s 32 points. TEXTILE 42— UPS ALA 33 Continuing their trip into New Jersey, Textile defeated Upsala in a rough, fast game. While the Lowell boys were slow in getting started they made up for lost time after they hit their regular pace. Upsala fought bravely but it was unable to cope with the fast pace set by the Textile squad. Athanas netted 17 points and Doukszewicz collected 13 points before he was forced out on fouls. Kelakos proved to be a good defense man when he substituted for Dyce. Blazewski was high scorer for Upsala with 12 points, while Spinelli collected 10 points for Upsala. In this contest Textile demonstrated to the Jersey boys just how a passing game can be conducted. TEXTILE 32— PANZER 27 Evidently the road trip worked wonders with Textile and the crew annexed their third road victory at the expense of Panzer by a score of 32 to 27. The game was fast throughout and in the second half Textile netted eleven points to Panzer ' s five. Athanas and Doukszewicz were high scorers for Textile, while Balan led the Panzer crew with a total of 10 points. TEXTILE 53— SETH LOW 47 The road trip lucky streak still held out and Textile defeated Seth Low on their home court in Brooklyn to make Textile ' s second victory over the Brooklyn boys. At the end of the first period Seth Low was leading by a score of 32 to 22. In the second stanza Textile changed its tactics and finally commanded a narrow lead. The game was nip and tuck until the final whistle was blown. The game was hard fought and proved to be the roughest of the trip. Athanas 93 THE 1936 PICKOUT — scored 27 points, while Georgacoulis and Doukszewicz netted nine each for Textile. Wagner and Auerback were star performers for the Seth Lew team and each of them scored twelve points for their club. TEXTILE 31— SPRINGFIELD 29 The much vaunted Springfield club met their Waterloo at the hands of Tex- tile in a spectacular game played on the Rex floor. The fans who witnessed the game were continually on their feet and it was a great game. At half time Spring- field was leading by the narrow margin of 15 to 12. Textile came out fighting in the second half and despite their efforts they were at first unable to score. With but seven minutes left in the second period Textile finally hit its stride and went to town on the upstate crew. With those few precious minutes Textile displayed a brand of ball never before seen in Lowell. As per schedule Louis Athanas was out in front in scoring and accounted for twenty of Textile ' s points. Hebero played a clever game for Springfield and netted nine points for the Springfield boys. In this game Textile showed its ability to come through in a pinch. It was a great victory for L. T. I. TEXTILE 40— RHODE ISLAND STATE 52 With Jack Martin, second highest scorer among New England collegiate hoopsters, leading the way, the classy Rhode Island State quintet tonight closed its season here with a 52 — 40 win over Lowell Textile. Lou Athanas and Joe Douk- szewicz, first and third highest scorers of New England, gave the home club a stiff battle all the way and were out front by a 24 — 22 count at half time. However, the Staters flashed a dazzling attack in the second period and piled up a sufficient lead, which proved too much for the Lowell boys to overcome. Martin, who is one of the finest players to wear the colors of R. I. State, was easily the outstanding player on the floor. He accounted for 22 of his club ' s points and turned in a fine all-round brand of ball. Athanas led the attack of the visitors with 15 points and was closely followed by Doukszewicz, his mate, who had 11. TEXTILE 39— CLARK 31 Textile continued with a win over Clark University by a score of 39 to 31. The Textile squad did not push itself in this game, but they maintained a comfort- able lead that never was seriously threatened by the Worcester team. Doukszewicz and Athanas ran wild with 16 and 15 points respectively. Ted Clark and Bob Stead with 10 points each starred for Clark. 94 THE 1936 PICKOUT TEXTILE 30— ASSUMPTION 20 Textile closed its home season with a 30 to 20 victory over Assumption college in a fast and interesting contest played at the Institute. Textile took the lead in the first minutes and never relinquished it. At half-time Textile was ahead 14 to 5. In the second half the Assumption squad turned on the steam and made a valiant but unsuccessful effort to wrest the game from Textile. Athanas collected 18 points. Deslauriers was leading scorer for the Assump- tion squad with 7 points. TEXTILE 34— PROVIDENCE 38 On March 11, Textile played its last game of the season against the powerful Providence College team at Providence. Upon the outcome of this game depended Textile ' s chances of being in the Olympic play-offs and the team fought tooth and nail to win the contest but due to the uncanny playing of Ray Belliveau of the Eriars, Textile fell short by the narrow margin of four points. A great display of loyalty to the Textile quintet was evidenced by the presence of over one hundred students and alumni at the game. The game started at a fast pace with Providence scoring first, but the Millmen soon evened up the count. The Textile defense lagged and Providence took advantage of the let up and at the half Providence was leading 25 to 11. Both squads opened with a fast attack in the second stanza and with Athanas, Doukszewicz, and Kelakos swinging into stride Textile pulled up to trail by 37 to 32. General McLellan nearly collapsed with the Textile surge and made several replacements for defensive work. Smith, Belliveau, Davin, and Bobinski were the Providence stars, but they could not outshine Athanas who by netting 12 points, increased his total to 417 points in 22 games. Bogacz, Bassett and Doukszewicz were also outstanding Textile players. While the loss of the game by the close score of 38 to 34 dashed Textile ' s chances for Olympic possibilities it was a great game to watch, and a thrilling finish to a great season. BASKETBALL PROSPECTS FOR 1936-7 The outlook for the 1936-7 basketball season is the darkest for several years, due to the fact that we lose three star players who have been with us for four years. Louis Athanas, captain in 1935 and co-captain in 1936, who has the enviable record of being leading scorer of the colleges in the East, if not in the country, will be a very 95 THE 1936 PICKOUT — difficult man to replace. John Bogacz, one of the best guards we have ever had at Textile, and George Georgacoulis, the other guard, will also be missing when the next season ' s call for candidates comes. Whether Joe Doukszewicz, the center, will be back in college, is problematical. The three letter men who will undoubtedly be available are Louis Bassett, forward, Charlie Kelakos guard, and center, and John Ploubides, substitute guard. The Junior Varsity will send up such players as Victor Storey, Kilbourne Pease, George Gianaris, John Hackett, and Burton Winkler, but none of them is yet seasoned enough to replace our lost veterans. Will next year ' s Freshman class be able to offer us players who excelled in high school competition? Even if it does, it will take time to weld our veterans and the new players into a smooth-working club such as the one we had this year. We have already turned down invitations to play Dartmouth on December 9 and Rhode Island State on December 12 because we know that we cannot be ready for that type of competition so early in the season. We must have a month of preliminary training before we can be ready for our harder games. However, if two new outstand- ing players happen to appear on the scene, then our three letter men plus the better J.V. men plus a few new players would enable us gradually to build up another suc- cessful team, not one that would be so outstanding as to win 17 out of 22 games (this year ' s record), but one that would annex its full share of victories. 90 THE IV 3 It I ' ICKOVT Ten Years With Rusty Yarnall Waldo W. Yarnall is now coaching our athletic teams for his tenth consecutive year. Rusty who was graduated from the University of Vermont in 1926 first came to the Institute in the fall of 1927, and thus is now on the last lap of ten years at Textile. We Peel that there is no need for a long writeup of the coach, because he is intimately known by every Textile student. We do feel however, that a brief sta- tistical summary of the results that have been accomplished by the teams of Lowell Textile Institute will clearly indicate the part that he has played.

Skinkle, who acts as coach, for the primary object of promoting rifle shooting as an active collegiate sport. In 1932, the club became directly affiliated with the National Rifle Associ- ation. This year ' s schedule calls for eight matches and five postal matches with well known colleges, and also offers an opportunity for the winners of the annual tourna- ment to capture either the silver loving cup or one of the several medal awards in the competition which is open to all the students. 116 — THE 1936 PICKOUT The Rifle Club Roland M.

The Tau Epsilon Sigma Society, the honor fraternity of Lowell Textile Institute founded in 1927, corresponds to the Phi Beta Kappa of academic colleges. To be a candidate for this honor society, the student, at the beginning of the first term of his senior year must have been on the President ' s List for four consecu- tive terms and his marks as a freshman must be of equal calibre. Should the student as a freshman during his first term experience any difficulty in attaining honor marks because of the newness of the work, he may become a member of the Society at the beginning of the second term of his fourth year, provided he has been on the President ' s List for five consecutive terms and has attained marks of equal calibre during the second term of his freshman year. A student may also become a candidate for this society if at the end of the second term of his fourth year he can present evidence that his average for the entire course is 80% or better and that he has not failed in any subject. As a member of this honor society, the student is privileged to wear the gold key of the Tau Epsilon Sigma Fraternity, a highly coveted possession. 118 THE 1936 PICKOUT Tau Epsilon Sigma MEMBERS JAMES C.

Kenneth R. Fox, as M. Dnvall, the male lead showed his stage ability in a most creditable way. Wilson G. Ireland, in the role of Molly Easton; and J. Ray- mond Kaiser as Julia Carrington did excellent work. The part of Madge Carson, taken by James R. Redmond, was most commendably portrayed. The cast was as follows: Peters .

Dancing, interspersed occasionally with games and refreshments, was enjoyed throughout the evening. Those attending were high in their praise of Henry Anthony and Wil- liam Welch for arranging such a successful and pleasant evening. DELTA KAPPA PHI ALUMNI DAY On June 1, 1935, Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity acted as host to a large number of Delta Kappa Phi alumni. The banquet, following our victory over the University of New Hampshire, was held at Pete ' s on the Pawtucket Boulevard. Many old friendships were renewed, and many were begun. Bull Sessions were in order and the last story was told long after midnight. DELTA KAPPA PHI SPORTS DAY The social season of the present college year was opened on October 11, 1935, with a Sports Night Party. Almost every form of sport from boxing to whistling was enjoyed, and fraternity champions were chosen in all the contests. William Welch was selected as boxing champion; George Sood captured pool honors; Allen McQuade is bridge champion; and James Hotcha Redmond took first place in the music contests. DELTA KAPPA PHI FRESHMAN SMOKER On Wednesday evening, October 30, 1935, Delta Kappa Phi held its annual Freshman Smoker at the Marlborough Hotel. The guests included President Eames, members of the Institute faculty, D. K. alumni, and the freshman class. President Markarian welcomed the freshmen to the smoker and then intro- duced the speakers of the evening. President Eames gave a short talk to the fresh- men which was very well appreciated. Following President Eames, Captain Harold M. Manderbach, U. S. A., and Mr. Francis Sargent, sports commentator, kept the attention of their audience at a high peak with their extremely interesting talks. After the addresses were concluded entertainments and refreshments were enjoyed. Brothers Markarian and Welch are to be commended for their work. DELTA KAPPA PHI FRESHMAN BANQUET Delta Kappa Phi held its annual banquet for pledgees on November 21, 1935, at the fraternity house. Each pledgee helped to entertain by giving a short but interesting speech. The playing of various games rounded off an evening of good fellowship. The Fraternity extends its thanks to Brothers Holden and Redmond. 129 THE 19 36 PICKOUT — OMICRON PI SPRING FORMAL As is the custom, Omicron Pi held its Spring Formal on April 27, 1935, the night following the Textile Show. During the week-end, the house was turned over to the young ladies, most of whom arrived on the afternoon of the 26th. A dinner was served in honor of the guests and after the dinner the fraternity members and their guests attended the Textile Show and in this manner concluded a most entertaining and pleasant evening. The following afternoon a number of the couples attended the Textile-Upsala baseball game. Textile won and the afternoon was made complete. In the evening a dinner-dance was held at the Nashua Country Club. Thirty- two couples were present among whom were a number of alumni. It goes without saying that their presence helped in making this function the success that it was. The fraternity is greatly indebted to the chaperons Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Wilkie and Mr. and Mrs. Alden I. Gifford. A vote of thanks is also due to the com- mittee, Brothers Leonard, White, and Fleming, who were responsible for making all the arrangements for the affair. OMICRON PI ALUMNI BANQUET The annual fraternity alumni banquet was held at the house on Saturday June 1. The affair was held after the activities of Alumni Day at the Institute. The banquet was attended by alumni, faculty and active members about 90 in all being present. An alumni meeting and Bull Sessions followed the banquet. Arrangements for this affair were ably taken care of by the committee composed of Brothers Jessen, Leonard and Kaiser. OMICRON PI FALL PARTY Omicron Pi gave its first party of the present school year on October 12, 1935. Needless to say, the party was a huge success. The main event of the evening was a Scavenger Hunt which turned up everything from live ducks to old-fashioned unmentionables. Following the hunt, and for the rest of the evening dancing, games, and refreshments were enjoyed by all present. The committee, consisting of Brothers Fox and Oliver are to be congratulated for the success of the party. We are also indebted to the chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. Fox and guests Mr. and Mrs. Hallett. 180 THE 1986 PICKOUT OMICRON PI FRESHMAN SMOKER Omicron Pi held its Annual Freshman Smoker on November 6, 1935. The freshman and faculty were welcomed on behalf of the fraternity by Archon J. Ray- mond Kaiser. The speakers of the evening were President Charles H. Eames, and Mr. Chace. After the interesting talks by the speakers, the remainder of the evening ' s entertainment was turned over to Frank Lane and his entertainers whose efforts were appreciated by everyone present. Following the entertainment, a light repast was served in the dining hall, and all members of the faculty, fraternity, and guests partook of the refreshments with no little enthusiasm. The rest of the evening was devoted to the use of the games at the house. The Smoker was very successful, with credit going to Brothers Kaiser, Gould, Churchill, and Wright. OMICRON PI FRESHMAN BANQUET The annual Omicron Pi Freshman Banquet was held at the house on Thursday evening, November 21, 1935. Toastmaster Jessen introduced Archon Kaiser who welcomed the pledges and then introduced the other officers of the fraternity.

The fraternity extends thanks to Brothers Gould, Churchill, and Kaiser for the success of this function. OMICRON PI MONTE CARLO PARTY On the evening of December 16, 1935, the fraternity held a Monte Carlo Party in honor of the pledges who passed through the initiation period. The thirty couples who attended were well entertained by the novel and in- teresting features of the party. Following the games refreshments were served and welcomed by all. This party raised much favorable comment and was voted one of the best ever held by the fraternity. The details for this affair were handled by Brothers Jessen, Wright, Lauder, and Hodgman. The fraternity wishes to thank the chaper- ons Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Yarnall and guests. 131 , THE 1936 PICKOU T OMICRON PI WINTER PARTY On Friday evening February 28, 1936, following the Textile-Springfield basket- ball game the fraternity held an informal party at the house. Fifteen couples at- tended and were entertained by dancing and use of the games at the house. Light refreshments were served and a enjoyable time was had by all. The success of this party was due to Brothers Wilkinson and Reed. The fraternity is indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Wilkie and guests who acted as chaperons. PHI PSI SPRING FEVER PARTY At approximately 2:34 A.M. Greenwich Time on the twenty-second of March, 1935, old Sol crossed the vernal equinox and began his long swing northward to his summer task of warming the frigid banks of the Merrimack. At about 8:16 Boston and Maine time the following evening, the twenty-third of March, Gamma Chapter crossed the New Hampshire State line en route to the first annual Spring Fever Party, held at the Brown Derby, somewhere in the vicinity of Nashua. This affair was instituted in a desperate effort to shake off the deadly laxness and lethargy which seems to attack most inmates of institutions of higher learning when the sap begins to stir and the gentle zephyrs start to blow. Some thirty couples — members, alumni and guests of the Chapter — were the patients treated for the lethal fever by Doctors Pan, Cupid, and Bacchus. All were pronounced vastly improved by two A.M. and were released from the main hospital at the Brown Derby, to be transferred to the convalescent ward at the Club Rio. Shortly after dawn, all the patients were discharged as fully cured, and wended their respective ways homeward, as hale and as hearty as they had been before their attacks of the dreaded Spring Fever. These remarkable recoveries from a disease which has hitherto proved prac- tically incurable led to an unanimous decision to make the Spring Fever Party the annual occurrence which it deserves to be. PHI PSI SPRING FORMAL The annual Spring Formal was held at the Middleton Arms in Middleton on the evening of April 27, 1935. In addition to the members of the active Chapter there was a large alumni representation, not only of Gamma alumni, but also a generous delegation from some of the other chapters. After a true Phi Psi welcoming wassail, dinner was served at eight o ' clock. As no one seemed inclined to leave the welcoming celebration for the banquet table, dinner was served again at nine, and eaten at ten. At eleven o ' clock a delegation 132 « Till: 10 3 6 PICKOUT — from Springfield arrived after having detoured halfway to Canada en route. Natur- ally they were imediately given a true Phi Psi welcome. After this excitement had abated somewhat, it was discovered that the hostelry boasted a dance floor and an orchestra for which we were paying a king ' s ransom. Several couples danced, while the rest continued the welcome party. The one great thing about this annual affair is the meeting of old friends and the renewing of old friendships, which, after all, are really the best. Dancing — and welcoming — continued until two, when the homeward hegira be- gan. The caravan paused for refreshment at the Club Rio oasis in the Pawtucket- ville Desert, and thence took its way to. the home reservation. The committee in charge, to whom credit for a grand time is to be given, in- cluded : Luis Echeverria, Herman Liebmann, and W. A. Smith, Jr. PHI PSI ALUMNI SMOKER On the evening of Friday, the fourth of October, at the new home of Gamma Chapter there was held a house warming and a reception to the alumni of the Chap- ter. After a thorough inspection of the new Shelter and the new furnishings a busi- ness meeting was held, at which prospects and plans for the year were discussed and decided upon by the Gamma Alumni Council in conjunction with the active Chap- ter. The meeting was presided over by the Grand President of the Fraternity, John H. Grady. The Alumni Council which has advised and directed the activities of Gamma Chapter this year is composed of: Edward B. Bell, Roland E. Derby, Clifford W. Sampson, and Will G. Brown, Jr., Chairman. The enviable record of Gamma Chap- ter this year and her creditable standing among the chapters of the national organ- ization is largely due to the efforts and the counsel of these men. Their spirit is to be commended and emulated. PHI PSI FRESHMAN SMOKER On the evening of Wednesday, November 13, Gamma Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity tendered its annual reception to the incoming freshmen of Lowell Textile Institute. We were certainly proud of the alumni representation at this affair. The Boston Alumni Chapter was here in full force. The Lowell crowd were out to a man. We were particularly glad to see some men present who have been unable to attend these affairs in the last few years. Among these were Dr. Howard D. Smith, and Norman Reed who did a great deal of fine work for Gamma in the earlier years. After the greetings and the salutations had quieted a little, and the alumni and 133 THE 1936 P1CKOUT the guests had been shown over the new place, we started the evening ' s entertain- ment. As President Eames was forced to be absent, he wrote us a very friendly and fraternal letter of welcome and congratulation, which was read to the assembled guests as a part of the welcome speech. We then introduced the first of the evening ' s two guests of honor: Edward L. Casey, former head co ach of Harvard, present mentor of the Boston Redskins, and brilliant sports commentator for Kentucky Winners over the air. He held his audi- ence spellbound for well over an hour with yarns and tales of his own experiences and those of many other football greats, many of whom he has coached. At the conclusion of Eddie Casey ' s talk we went upstairs, where a delicious buffet supper was served. After the supper we were addressed by President Jack Grady of the Grand Council, who welcomed the freshmen to Phi Psi in his inimitable manner. Brother Grady then introduced Past Grand President Arthur E. Snyder. Although both speeches were necessarily brief, owing to the length of the program, they were enjoyed very much, and it is hoped that both these gentlemen will be present at next year ' s Smoker. Mr. Ira H. Morse was our other guest of honor of the evening. Mr. Morse is one of Lowell ' s most prominent citizens, and is, in addition, a very well-known big- game hunter and African explorer. For well over an hour Mr. Morse entertained us with motion pictures of one of his safaris into the African veldt. We were privileged to see intimately and uncensored the real Africa through the eyes of the camera. It was a rare and a fascinating experience. But — like all good things — the evening had to come to an end. The lights flashed on — and we were back in Lowell — with classes the next day. Reluctantly our guests took their leave, but not until they had assured us that Phi Psi had given the best smoker in the history of the school. This praise was ample reward for our efforts to make the Smoker a success. PHI PSI PLEDGE DANCE In an effort to give the pledges some happy memories to bolster their courage and to aid them in weathering the rigors of the initiation period, the Chapter tended the neophytes a dance on the evening of Monday, November 25. Although the freshmen were not fully aware of the fact, the affair was really a last fling before they began to pay the Piper, and merriment and revelry ran high. The brothers were greatly cheered to find that the pledges had displayed excellent taste in their choice of dance partners, and showed their appreciation by cutting in on the youngsters right and left. The new combination radio and phonograph, Brother LeBel ' s gift to the house, provided the music for dancing, and received the enthusiastic approval of everyone present. 134 — THE 1936 PICK OUT The pledges ' enjoyment of the party was considerably heightened by the fact that the Elect had graciously and magnanimously allowed the Its to wax and polish three floors in preparation for the event. Joy was unconfined as the Its manfully strove to scuff every last vestige of polish back off the floors so that, their betters might have to rewax them ! A number of games — including kissing-games — were played. The Elect were considerably jolted upon observing the smoothness of technique and the obvious proficiency with which the innocents entered into these amatory pastimes. At eleven P.M. a magnificent collation (ice-cream and cake, I think) was served by charming volunteer waitresses — and at a little after midnight the soiree ended, and the pledges and the brothers departed. (Note: The brothers arrived home at U2:30— the innocents at three!) PHI PSI THIRD DEGREE AND MID-WINTER BANQUET The time: January 11, 1936. The place: The Hotel Bradford, Boston. The occasion: The Joint Third Degree and Boston Alumni Chapter Mid-Winter Banquet. In the presence of an alumni group numbering over two hundred the officers of the Grand Council conferred a joint Third Degree upon the pledges of Beta, Gamma and Delta Chapters. The pledges, numbering forty-three, formed the largest class of candidates in the history of the Fraternity. Under the able direction of Grand Vice President Harold Cochrane, Master of the Third Degree, the crack degree team conducted the neophytes through the beautiful and impressive ritual which constitutes the final link between the novitiate and full brotherhood in Phi Psi. The entering processional formed on the mezzanine of the Hotel and thence marched into the stately Blue Room, where the ceremony was held. It is interesting to know that this room has been reserved for the granting of the Third Degree to every class of candidates from the New England Chapters since the building of the Hotel. At the close of the Third Degree, an executive meeting of the Grand Council of the Fraternity was held. Following this meeting, which all the members were privileged to witness, a period of welcome and congratulation ensued. At seven P.M. the brothers were summoned to the banquet hall, where the Boston iUumni Chapter tendered their annual Mid-Winter Banquet. A magnificent menu of food and drink was served. Life and laughter were the order of the evening. Toasts were drunk to the newest brothers amid laughter and cheer. Suddenly — a hush — and two hundred and fifty men rose and with bowed heads stood in solemn pledge to the Chapter Eternal ! 13.5 THE 1936 PICKOUT Short speeches of welcome were made by the President of the Grand Council, Jack Grady, and by the General Chairman of the affair, Joseph B. Thaxter, Presi- dent of the Boston Alumni Chapter. Letters and telegrams were read from the other Chapters and from absent alumni. Then — the Entertainment Committee unveiled the strictly one-night stand presentation of the Bradford Frolics, which can only be described as a combination of Flo Ziegfeld, the Marx Brothers and Irving Place. Needless to say, the enter- tainment was applauded to the echo and encored to the point of exhaustion. The banquet hall was abandoned at about ten-thirty and the brothers repaired to several suites which had been stocked against their arrival. Bridge was played — as were other mysterious games yclept stud and black-jack. In the wee hours of the morning, after having congratulated the committees on the best Third Degree and Mid-Winter Banquet ever, it was Hail and farewell! — until next year. VALENTINE ' S DAY SLEIGH RIDE On February 14, Gamma Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity made a very successful effort to put to use the super-abundance of snow which seems to be inevitable. The two large sleighs arrived at the House shortly after eight o ' clock, and the brethren with their lady friends embarked. The temperature was by no means reminiscent of August in Agua Caliente, but it was not too cold for comfort. Some doubts were expressed as to the identity of the four horses, but before we had gone very far, all uncertainty had vanished — the horses were NOT Discovery Omaha, Cavalcade, and Time Supply. There was much running back and forth be- tween the two sleighs with little danger of being left behind. The ride continued for some two hours and a half, and then we were back at the House. Refreshments were served which helped to thaw out those who had begun to succumb to the elements. The dining room and one of the living rooms had been decorated by the En- tertainment Committee, consisting of Burton Winkler, Russell Broadhurst, and Henry Thomas. Here dancing was indulged in until the early hours of the morn- ing. ST. PATRICK— FOUNDER ' S DAY PARTY The Fourth of March proved to be a rare time in the old House. The brothers gathered from thither and yon for the combined celebration of St. Patrick ' s and Founder ' s Days. With them as usual came the best of the town ' s femininity, and the boys were all set for a bright evening. As is the case with all good parties, it took a little time to warm up the floor, but in the interim the boys played billiards and an occasional rubber of bridge. In due time the affair was well under way to music by 136 THE 19 36 PICKOUT Gaumont and the best of the nation ' s bands. One of the high-lights of the evening came when Brother Bone received the just reward for his twenty-odd years of ex- istence on this planet of ours. Miss Mahoney, Brother Ekstrand ' s partner, was handled in a gentler manner, but we are afraid some of the boys had more than one turn. The guests of honor. Professor and Miss Dow, successfully claimed the bridge championship for the evening by defeating all contestants in straight, easy rubbers. Refreshments were served, and shortly afterwards the party broke up, and the brethren and their ladies wended their homeward way. SIGMA OMEGA PSI CONVENTION The 1935-1936 Convention of Sigma Omega Psi Fraternity held on New Year ' s in the Parker House, Boston, was on of the biggest affairs in the history of the Fraternity. The convention was formally opened on the evening of December 30 at 7 P.M., with a general meeting. Following the general business came the initiation of pled- gees, and the election of new officers for the year. The evening was concluded with an informal banquet, at which Past Grand Superior, George Miller of New York addressed the gathering. Group pictures of the assembly were taken. The main social event of the convention was the formal dinner dance on New Year ' s eve at the Parker House. At 9:30 P.M. the Grand March opened the even- ing ' s celebration. Excellent music, good food, merry table groups, and the dancing combined to make a great night of it. Souvenirs were distributed to all attending the affair. The gathering departed for home at four o ' clock in the morning, and the memories of that night will linger for many years to come. Many members and alumni of Eta Chapter attended the dinner-dance. SIGMA OMEGA PSI SMOKER The Annual Freshman Smoker of Eta Chapter of Sigma Omega Psi was held at the Lowell Hebrew Community Centre on Monday evening, December 11, 1935. The freshmen and many of the alumni were welcomed on behalf of the Fraternity by Chairman David Landau who acted as master of ceremonies, and introduced as the first speaker of the evening, Moses L. Goldman, a charter member of the Fraternity. Following his talk, were others by, Grand Superior, Jack Schneider- man, Barney Perlmutter, and Dr. Bernhardt Glickman. Coach Waldo Rusty Yarnall gave a very interesting talk on athletics. After the speeches, entertainments and refreshments followed and the usual round table groups gathered to tell new stories and to talk over past events. The Fraternity is indebted to Joseph Cobb, Milton Fine, and David Landau for the success of this smoker. 137 7 .; 9 3 6 I ' l( K O I I Class Social Events UPSTREAM DAY A-bout the middle of the month of April in 1935, the student body began to talk about Upstream Day. The date for this day of days was tentatively set as Wednesday, May 8, provided that the weather was favorable for such an affair. To the joy of all the students the day dawned fair and proved to be a perfect setting for a real Upstream Day. At 8:45 A.M., the fellows began to gather about the quad- rangle, and to the uneducated observer they looked for all the world like a chain gang lining up for work. The rugged clothes were later put to the test and this proved the wisdom of such nondescript attire. A Boston and Maine bus left the campus at 9:15 carrying those who had no other means of transportation. An annual feature that was lacking on this occasion was the canoe journey that several students usually make up the Merrimack. Everyone was on hand for the melee by 10. A.M. and the various contests in quoits, cards, soccer, and baseball were under way. In the first major contest, the Frosh trounced the Sophs in the baseball game to the tune of 8 to 5. Determined to avenge their ignominous defeat at the hands of the freshmen, the sophomores turned back the juniors with a score of 8 to 4. These two games gave ample demonstration of the many fool plays that can be made in a baseball contest. The general festivities were suddenly disrupted by the stentorian blast of a whistle. The result was a wild scramble for the dinner tables. The weak, the lame, and the indigents were trampled under foot in the mad dash. The scene resembled a barbarian horde after the kill. The cries soon subsided when the group settled down to the more serious business of eating. The menu consisted of fruit salad, roast beef, potatoes, beans, macaroni and cheese, salads, roll, coffee, ice cream, and cake. The dinner period was followed by the usual siesta for the purpose of recover- ing from the effects of overeating. The card games opened the after-dinner series of events. The ivory cubes were handled with great skill, and Bassett profited at the expense of the arch-gam- bler Dion. The presense of Horton Brown was greatly missed at the festivities. Suddenly the air was rent atwain by a fierce call for aid. The voice was that of xAxel Welch who earnestly called for his fraternity brothers. Some group had attempted to dunk Axel in the Merrimack and by the time that the loyal members of Delta Kappa Phi had saved their fraternity brother, Axel had been relieved of all his clothes. The brawl soon enveloped the majority of the students and the great Nemo Lincoln ran about the outskirts of the crowd and merrily struck at every head that appeared out of the pile. The great afternoon event was the baseball game between the Faculty and the Seniors. Bicycle Bill Gushing was the twirler 139 THE 19 36 PICKOUT for the profs., and Flash Edlund backed him up. By superior skill and with some slight intrigue, the Seniors were victorious by a score of 6 to 3. The various relays, races, novelty contests, and such were run off at the con- clusion of the baseball contest. Another Textile tradition, that of the Orange Rush was held, and the quartet of Bates, McQuade, Ireland, and Crawford, managed to garner thirty-two oranges. The very practical prizes that are associated with Up- stream Day were then distributed to the victors in the races. The light buffet lunch consisting of beans, coffee, hot dogs, doughnuts, and pickles served to appease the hunger resulting from an afternoon of rugged play. An exhausted but happy group of students and members of the faculty turned towards Lowell about six o ' clock that evening, all agreeing that it was a well spent day, and one to be long remembered in the years to come. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE FIELD DAY In one of the most spirited series of events ever held on Field Day, the classic tussle of October 17, bids to remain the outstanding one. The day opened with a basketball game which was held during the free hour. This event was won by the freshmen, but the sophs claimed that the winning points were tallied after the time limit had expired. The victory, nevertheless, was credited to the freshmen. The usual greased pig race which had been a feature of previous Field Days was not a part of this program. However, a new and added attraction was a challenge by several of the freshman co-eds to meet the sophomore co-eds in a baseball pitch- ing contest. The sophs lost their courage and defaulted. While the points alloted for this event should have been given to the freshies by virtue of the default, such action was hotly opposed by the sophs. The freshmen scored heavily in the racing events, but they were defeated in the tug-of-war and in the football game. The orange rush was cancelled after some starved seniors raided the crate of citrus while all others were watching the contest. The result at the conclusion of the day was that although the sophs were leading there were several disputes to be ironed out. While the frosh were willing to play another basketball contest, the sophs would neither play in such a game nor would they agree to the default decision in the ball-pitching contest. In class meetings held immediately after the day, the sophomores announced that they would continue to subjugate the freshmen. The freshies announced that in view of the rejection of their offers of arbitration they would discard their uniforms. The uniforms were abandoned and the threats and words of the dis- gruntled sophs went for naught. 140 THE 19 36 PICKOUT After several weeks of ill-feeling the acts of the past were finally forgotten, cooler heads prevailed and peace again reigned between the freshmen and sopho- mores. It was indeed a Field Dav to be long remembered. i a ANNUAL FOOTBALL HOP The Annual Football Hop was held on December 6, 1936 in Southwick Hall, Lowell Textile Institute. Dancing was enjoyed all evening by all those who at- tended. Music was furnished by Robert Fyfe and his orchestra. During the evening a short intermission was called and Coach Yarnall gave a short talk on the subject of football and lauded the squad for the splendid spirit that they displayed in the face of such rugged opposition. Professor Lester H. Gush- ing also addressed the gathering, and awarded the much coveted football letter T to those men of the squad who had earned that distinction. The Patrons and Patronesses of the evening were President and Mrs. Eames, Professor and Mrs. dishing, Mr. and Mrs. Fox, and Mr. and Mrs. Yarnall. ANNUAL FRESHMAN DANCE On Wednesday evening, December 18, 1935, the Class of 1939 held a Christmas Dance in Southwick Hall. Due to the fact that some of the sophomores had not forgotten their self styled humiliation at the hands of the militant freshmen an effort was made to frustrate the plans of the freshmen. All the plans proved worthless, however, and the dance was highly successful in both social and financial results. This dance was the first social event of the class and it proved to be a credit to the committee that labored so hard to put it across. The officers of the class, and also Miss Phyllis Baker and Miss Eilene O ' Donog- hue were complimented on the efforts that they expended in making the affair a most enjoyable one. 141 GRINDS Tin: 19 3b pickovt September 1935 Thursday 19 Shea, Senter, and tribe arrive and open the gates in order that the newly arrived frosh may enter within the walls .As usual they are persecuted with an armful of cards that apparently serve no useful purpose. In the afternoon the camera was subjected to the strain of looking at their bright young faces. Friday 20 The freshmen return in order that the Coop, Text, and sundry other units can mulct them of a few spare coins. The Coop as usual does a land-office business (Kaiser and Fisher in high spirits) . The sophs hand out very ducky uniforms consisting of white gloves, red ties, and black shirts to the freshies. Monday 23 The upper classmen arrive in town en masse. The faculty arrive en classe. Miss Lancey, Profs. Barker and Ball, and Mr. Kennedy all arive in new chariots. Business must be on the up-grade. Big smoker at night for all the faculty and student body. John Mc- Mannon of the Notre Dame seven mules guest speaker. Prof. Dow to be congratulated for his work. Tuesday 24 The upper classmen start the year ' s work with the usual resolu- tions that they will really work this year. (We have heard that before). Frosh appear in new uniforms and the sophs stage a fiasco initiation in the yard. It seems as if the sophs lack the pep needed to make such affairs a success. Wednesday 25 The sophs conduct the freshmen on a trip to the Lowell Teachers College. Sunny Jim Prescott proposed in true cavalier style to a young lady named Evelyn. (Well done lad). Olsen, Jr., broke a rib in the roof of an L. T. C. prof ' s car and the obliging sophs paid for it. 145 THE 1936 PICKOUT Th ursday 26 Friday Saturday Monday 27 28 30 George Shea acts as traffic officer at gate to curb the Textile speed demons. Prof. Harry Brown loses his car in the quadrangle. Herbie Ball too tired to talk theses to senior engineers who aren ' t at all peeved about such action. Acting senior class officers meet with Prof. Wells. The strain of getting back to his atoms and elements of physics again reacted unfavorably on Prof. Brown who drove down town, ate lunch, and walked all the way back to the Institute before he realized that he had driven down town. Pep talk in the interests of Textile ' s first football game of the season on the morrow. Outweighed, but not outfought in spirit Textile dropped their opener to New Hampshire, at Durham. New Hampshire 26, Textile 0. Stan Tyler dropped in to visit his old friends and some poor freshie wanted to know if he was a new Textile tackle. No such luck. October Tuesday Wednesday 2 Thursday Saturday Monday Senior engineers are introduced to Oiler ' s formula. They think that he must have been related to another engineer named Euler. Olshinski is still haunting Miss Foote in trying to make out a schedule. Keep at it, Ollie you ' ll get one or die in the attempt. Big football rally in which Prof. Gushing discusses the prospects for Textile. Landau makes his debut as official cheerleader, but he gets strong support from P. Sumner Valentine. Senior class has a hectic meeting in accordance with the tradition of such meetings (brawls). Sid Shapiro nearly drove Prof. MacKay nuts in his effort to prove some slight decimal calculation could be done in any form and still give the same result. Shapiro lost, but not without a battle. No candy tables opened as yet to appease the ravenous hordes. Textile garners its first win of the season beating American Inter- national by a score of 20 to 7. Keep up the good work, fellows. Harvey Sung who previously attended L. T. I. until called back to China, returns once again to resume his studies in the engineer- ing courses. Welcome back, Harvey. 14(i — THE 1936 PICKOUT — Thursday 10 Tuesday 8 Lincoln has a wild urge to take a trip to the North woods but can ' t find a companion. Horton Brown accuses Prof. Dow of broadcasting his English lectures. Harry Jack hurt in the machine shop. Prof. Ball still believes that a man has but one vote (even in Lowell). A large number of the fellows think otherwise. Wednesday 9 No free hour today much to the dismay of the upper classmen. Feet Wagner announces that Doctor Olney is the only man in the Institute who wears five button vests, and he announces that he can prove his statement. Well, time will tell. Ireland and McQuade get a weaving thesis. Moreno is assigned to his brain-child, the Walen eveness tester. He is deeply en- grossed in its possibilities. F. E. Baker demonstrates his ability as a sign painter with the candy table placards. Chevrolet pre- sents movies. Herbie Wormwood crashes the Lowell papers as some facetious Sim reporter vents his opinion of Textile men; but no one takes him seriously. Textile in a fumbling mood loses to Upsala 19 to 0. Greene elected as freshman president after a close battle with Ted Fox who tried to uphold the Fox dynasty at Textile. Prof. Judd called to Vermont by the death of his sister. The faculty and students extend their sympathy to him. Edlund floors the seniors with a stiff marketing quiz while Georg- acoulis tells the class of the marketing tendencies of jerk towns up in the woods. Roarke, Redmond, McQuade, and Ireland stage a golf contest by the light of a cigarette lighter. Bill and Mac claim that the chem- ists cheated. Bates and the Harvard trio (Smith, Mac and Bill) wander to town where Wes shows the boys just how wassail should be quaffed. Field Day ends in a mix-up and more action is promised. Valentine with business acumen dragged the senior candy business out onto the field. It ' s the Yankee business touch in Val. Friday Saturday Monday 11 12 14 T uesday 15 Wednesday 16 Thursday 17 Greene and Fox battle over the Field Day, and if there ever were two obstinate people, they are the ones. Prof. Ball is in New York and the senior engineers indulge in a few hands of cards. Prof. Barker is now sporting two new Buicks. Why be mean about it, to do things right he believes that at least two should be bought. 147 THE 1936 PICKOUT Friday 18 Saturday Monday 19 21 Tuesday 22 Wednesday 23 Thursday Friday 24 25 Saturday Monday 26 28 Tuesday 29 Textile football team leaves for the C. C. N. Y. game at New York accompanied by Gushing and Walter Holt who upholds tradition by taking his annual trip to the big city. Percy Judd double- crossed the senior engineers by suddenly appearing at the elec- tricity class. The suave Community Chest speakers tackle the faculty. A victory for C. C. N. Y. who defeated Textile by 19 to 0. The New York L. T. I. alumni entertained the team. Some of the boys paid their respects to Minsky ' s. The Text gives its opinions of the Sun columnist who dirided the men of Textile. Masons arrive to point up the building. Percy Judd turns the heat on the engineers for not studying enough. The freshies show their spirit and discard the uniforms over the protests of the sophs. The protests are of no avail. Bates is still looking for a thesis. Redmond gives his opinions of women ' s dresses in the marketing session. We didn ' t know that we had a stylist in our midst. Smith tangles Prof. Ball up with one of his hypothetical accounting problems. The Text editorial on hazing is not at all appreciated by the sophs. Well, we also have found that you can ' t speak plainly and please all. Ben Holgate is appointed business manager of the Pickout. Text comes out with a rotogravure section. What next? Prof. Wells and Prof. Dow discuss the place of English in an eng- ineering course. McQuade runs afoul of Percy Judd for cutting the electricity lab. sessions. He ' s out to nail you, Mac. Edlund is perplexed by our elusive senior, Olshinski. Sophs give vent to their feeling against R. T. Crawford for his Hazing edi- torial. The Courier-Citizen comments on the same. McQuade confuses vicuna for viscose in the microscopy lab. and finally had to have Prof. Brown come to his aid. Textile after a great fight lost a heartbreaker of a football game to Northeastern at Boston by the narrow margin of 13 to 6. The sophs and freshmen confer in an effort to solve the misunder- standing resulting from Field Day. The conference was about as successful as a League of Nations meeting on the Japanese-Chin- ese crisis. The Buick craze sweeps onward through the Institute as Presi- dent Eames arrives in a new Buick sedan. Either the boys are spending the money or they must personally be acquainted with Joe Buick. How about letting us in on the secret? 148 — . THE 19 36 PICKOUT — Wednesday SO Thursday 31 Prof. Wells is unable to do his Pitot tube experiment, much to his dismay but to the joy of the Junior engineers. Daly, Bates and Hodgman go beserk and return from town with a rare assortment of neckties and socks of a variety that could be seen by a blind man on a dark night. The boys either were drunk or had lost all color perception when they bought the lot. Lincoln is in the throes of ecstacy because he has found a girl who owns a car. The freshmen see Profs. Wells, Judd and Chapin for their first report cards. November Friday Saturday 2 Monday Tuesday Wednesday 6 Thursday LeBel drops in at the mill for his weekly visit. The sophs fade into oblivion. The football team leaves for the game with Spring- field. A moral victory for Textile because the boys couldn ' t find Huston of Springfield. Otherwise, the score would not have been Spring- field 5 3 Textile 0. Shah sets up a balance in his accounting for the debts that he does not intend to pay. Several hundred workmen appear on the Moody St. bridge after months of inactivity. Election day which is in the offing is supposed to have some connection with the rush. Wright arrives back in Lowell after wrecking a second car in the same place where he cracked up number one two weeks previous while on his way home from Wheaton. Lowell celebrates the election and half the town gets plastered. Welch and Anthony nearly come to blows over the election out- come. Edlund throws another wild quiz in marketing. Interfraternity rules read to the freshies at their class meeting. With Archambault duly elected mayor Axel Welch goes into hid- ing. Sophs and freshmen are still at sword-points. Omicron Pi holds a great smoker for the freshmen. Percy Judd tells Ireland t o lay the 8 week exam, on the table on Friday A.M. Junior engineers survey and lay out the new baseball diamond. Our great lover No. 2 (Lincoln is No. 1) Roarke went to the Seton Guild party with a lady in red and went home alone. Ask Red- mond for details. Bates argues with Prof. Ball over profit and loss, and claims that if it is not one, it must be the other. 149 THE 1936 PICKOUT Friday Saturday 9 Monday Tuesday 11 12 Harry Brown mystifies the senior engineers with his lecture on numerical aperture. While the lecture didn ' t sink in, it made the fellows agree that Harry knows his gamma rays. Ireland rides to Boston in the Bates car (excuse us) and forces poor Joe Cobb to bear the rigors of the rumble seat. Textile filled the air full of passes and smothered Brooklyn by a score of 26 to 7. Armistice Day. School not in session. Les Gushing still in the throes of delight after the victory over Brooklyn. Lincoln appears with what he calls a moustache. Wright tells the judge about his two smashups. Wells gives a one question exam to the Junior engineers, but what a question? Eight-weekers for the upper classmen. Judd introduces the Jun- iors to Miss Potentiometer. Wednesday 13 Thursday 14 Pickout Staff chosen today. Phi Psi Fraternity holds a big smoker in their new quarters. Orchids to Soapy Smith for the herculanean task that he has performed. No free hour today. Girls from Teachers College visit the Cotton Dept. Perhaps you didn ' t know it, but Deacon is quite a charmer. The Text editorial on the flag brings results as Pres. Eames orders that the national emblem be flown daily over the Institute. Welch goes sissy and collects baby votes. Horton Brown assigns a problem that could not be solved (it wasn ' t in the book that time, Horton). Prof. Lowe murders the Junior engineers with a little wool quiz. You ' ll get used to them. Admiral Lambert of Tyngsborough arrives with his ducky little sailor suit. Wormwood takes the football picture. Wool op- tion seniors have four eight week exams on the same day. Textile goes to town on Arnold by a score of 31 to 13. Lowell tied up by the big snowstorm of Sunday, Nov. 17. Lowell papers in a columnar writeup mention the great Bullet Lemkin. We have been told that the Bullet bought the publicity. Of course, we just heard. Tuesday 19 Russ Brown goes bolshevik and parks his car in the midst of the quadrangle shrubbery in protest against those who park their cars ten feet apart. The act didn ' t please chief forester Senter, but who cares? Friday Saturday Monday 15 16 18 150 THE 1936 PICKOUT Wednesday 20 Thursday 21 Friday 22 Monday 25 Senior class elections. D. X. with their chemists stuff the ballot boxes as is proved by the fact that but one engineer was elected a class officer. Edlund makes his debut as sophomore adviser. The sophs are still smarting under the action of the militant freshmen. Ed Wells has three girls in his office all during the free hour and poor Horton Brown had to get out.

Football benefit raffle tickets are offered for sale and some criti- cism arises. Axel Welch takes up the cudgels in defense of the Athletic Association. Sigma Omega Psi sponsors a very successful smoker. The A. S. M. E. actually sponsors a meeting. A petition for two extra days off in the forth-coming Christmas vacation is granted; at the cost of having an extra week added to the college schedule. What price, a vacation? It will be a long time before anyone will sign another of Stanley ' s petitions after the example of yesterday. Prophet Wells says that we are now back to the old days; but who wants the old days? Crawford ' s chariot breaks down and he left Boston at 5 A.M. in order to make an 8 o ' clock class. Not much news today, especially with such a date. Bob Kennedy all excited over the wool quizzes, but as usual all ended satisfactorily. You can ' t beat Bob for worrying. Lee John- ston is slipping fast; he is now smoking and playing cards. Olshinski breaks all records and attends a full morning session. The seniors tackle a new accounting book and intend to finish it in four weeks.

Roarke is seen riding with Redmond and we have been told that the two lads have buried the hatchet. Holgate and Hodgman actually work on their thesis. Bugs Mona- han gives the first official dope on the Red Sox. Bates arrives with a new hat and a green sweater. He has a secret passion for Clark Gable ' s style. Adviser Edlund speaks to a beaten sophomore class. Indirect vision lamps appear in the library and everyone went to see the place; few recognized it in its new garb.

Athanas ran wild with 27 points, while Doukszewicz netted 11 points for Textile. Fleming states that in design a warp back is the same as a filling front. What a man, you just can ' t keep him down. Ireland plays Jekyll and Hyde and appeared at several of the day ' s classes. Where he went the rest of the time is a mystery. Edlund gives away books on the silk and rayon trade. It ' s mighty queer that the Coop didn ' t get their hands on them. Textile loses a hard fought game to Providence by the narrow margin of 35 to 30, while Keith Academy defeated the Junior varsity. The Trus- tees gathered in full at the Institute for a business session. Moreno and Crawford actually work on their thesis. Percy Judd delivers blast No. 54,276 at the senior engineers. It seems as though Percy thinks they need a talking to. The scheduled $10. prize drawing was postponed. Gilly Merrill introduced the sophomore engineers to a really hard cotton eight-weeker. Four seniors worked on their theses and Herbie Ball nearly collapsed when he witnessed the phen- omena. The football raffle tickets were drawn and both prizes were won by outsiders. Everyone departs for home in preparation for the final exams of the first term which will occupy the next two weeks. No news until Feb. 3. 154 — THE 19 36 PICKOUT February Monday Tuesday Wednesday 5 Thursday 6 Friday Saturday 8 Well, the crowd all returned for another shot at old man Study. Smith arrived un time and nearly caused the class to believe in ghosts when he stalked into the room. Prof. Ball introduces the seniors to their new text books and they only cost about $20. Eilene O ' Donoghue informs the Editor that she really can ' t go where she would like to go in search of news. Moreno arrives from New York city with no thought of his thesis. Bob Kennedy passed all his subjects after nearly falling victim to a nervous breakdown. Business administration seems to be a course in how to make a million with another fellow ' s money with- out regard to how you do it, and at no risk to yourself; provided, that you have no conscience. Ed Wells smothers the Mill Illumin- ation men with his course. If the boys could only see the light it might come a little easier. Pickout group pictures taken today. Coats, shoes, sweater and ties were greatly in demand. Prof. MacKay loaned his coat no less than ten times. Prof. Judd thinks that A. A. T. C. C. means the American Association of Textile Colored Chemists. Lincoln still hangs on. A truly memorable day in Pickout history. A slight rift (?) over the photographer nearly developed into a major crisis. Prof. Wells unloaded his personal opinion of the senior class (it was rare). Axel the Lion Hearted demanded an apology of Eddie, but not until Ed had left the room. That real technique. After a hectic ses- sion all was finally settled. Pres. Eames opens L. T. I. weekly radio program over WLLH in interests of Lowell Textile Insti- tute. Jimmy Redmond played several trumpet solos. Athanas leads 250 basketball players at this date with a total of 214 points to his credit. The recalcitrant seniors appear for the in- dividual pictures. Textile defeats Arnold in basketball by a score of 50 to 32. Textile lost a hard fought game to a fighting Northeastern team by the narrow margin of 34 to 31. If Textile has been in form there is no doubt that Northeastern would have been on the losing end of the score. 155 — .

After another hard snow trip Textile dropped a close decision to Middlebury 44 to 41. The contest was part of the Middlebury Winter Carnival. Flooded roads and Bates and Cobb are delayed in the Green Flash. Pickout proofs arrive and Axel Welch thinks he re- sembles Franchot Tone. Garcia loses his hook reed. Marks are out, and what a gloom falls over the Institute. Streets are a mass of ice and cars are frozen to the ground in the quad- rangle.

Stokes thrilled over his success with his number guessing trick; it makes up for his ill luck with mech. drawing puzzles. Monahan now has Hakanson under the spell and Hak is rapid- ly becoming a Bee rooter. Welch is more intrigued than ever with the pictures. Plenty of enthusiasm reigns for the forthcoming tussle with Springfield. Olsen notes are digested and dusted by the cone duster in the wool lab. Well, copying over ninety pages of notes is maddening. Another Senior class meeting provides fireworks over the rights of the Commencement Committee. Perhaps by June 1 things will be smoothed out and some last minute arrangements made. Crawford and Ireland have a bit of tough luck on a circular ribber and decide that in the future they will use nothing but flat ma- chines. The 31 to 29 victory of Textile over Springfield displaces all other news. In a smashing, thrilling battle Textile displays Olympic possibilities. It was undoubtedly the greatest Textile basketball game ever staged. Lowell still agog over last night ' s game. Lincoln is raving about the beautiful doll that he took to the game last night.

Textile 30, Assumption 20. Organization problems in the wool dept. are fascinating the junior engineers. Open House announced for May 8, and plans are being made for making it bigger and better than ever. The Fyfe-Thomas noontime musicales are becoming very popular. Wormwood is still snapping pictures and not a few resent such intrusion of the rights of citizens. The Textile radio programs are proving worthwhile. Arrangements are being made to get a big crowd of Textile rooters to attend the game at Providence tomorrow night. Jim Kennedy and the Captain have a swell time on the circular ribber. Soapy Smith ' s sweater goes through the starch mangle; so Soapy dismantles the Bates ' chariot in retaliation. Gus Blomberg drops in from Canada to visit the crew. Large ice floes start down the Merrimack. Textile is nosed out by the narrow margin of ofur points in the Providence tilt. Al- though this put Textile out of the Olympic playoffs, the Institute team ranks third in New England. Athanas sets a world record by scoring over eleven hundred points in his college basketball career. McQuade and Ireland finish weaving the samples and now they have only another odd thousand tests to make. They doubt that they will be able to finish the work by May 1. Roarke opens his locker and breaks about ten dollars worth of glassware. You had better be more careful in the future, John. Tex Show announced for April 24, with the two Fox brothers tak- ing the leading roles. Merrimack River reaches a new high, inundating Rosemont Ter- race and exceeding the Vermont flood levels. Many gather to watch the ice floes as they take small piles of debris along with them. River returns to normal. Talk of a testimonial banquet to the basketball team. Plenty of green ties worn by the fellows. Landau arrives with a brilliant orange tie, but the boys soon dyed it a suitable green. If Bates had only worn a green tie, he might have been able to impress Eilene. Senior engineers end their electricity course and they think that other Profs should follow the example of Prof. Judd. The river is starting to rise very rapidly, and shows promise of being high. 158 THE 1936 PICKOUT Thursday 19 River at record height and still rising. School adjourned at 11 A.M. as all main roads go under water. Student exodus with cars and cameras to view the flood. Rosemont way under water and houses, lumber yards and cattle go downstream. Friday 20 Sessions called off for a week as all bridges are closed to traffic. Aiken and Bridge St. bridges awash. Branch of river runs through White St. and reaches nearly to the second floor level. Many Rosemont houses taken away by flood. Lowell Textile used to house flood refugees. Many sections of city under ten feet of water and the damage in Lowell is estimated in excess of $2,500,000. The Pickout goes to press and the Editor would like to go to Bermuda for a much needed rest, but the thesis beckons. WORDS WITHOUT MUSIC Shipmates Forever. Shah and Lee. It ' s Been So Long. McQuade.

However, this year the rise was so rapid and so great that all records were smashed by the river in its mad dash to the sea. For this reason we make mention of the flood that will long linger as a marker of time in the minds of the students who were attending the Institute during that period. The winter of 193.5-1936 was quite cold with the month of February running five degrees below normal for the entire month. The result was that the ice on the river was about three feet thick. About March 1, a full week of rain coupled with rising temperatures caused the snow up country to melt and the river began its normal annual rise. By March 12, the river reached a new record height and great quantities of ice floes passed over the Pawtucket Dam. Friday the 13th saw in- creased water and the Rosemont section was under several feet of water. The week- end, however, saw a recession of the Merrimack and it seemed as though the rise was a thing of the past. Without any warning the river started to rise rapidly on Wednesday, March 18, and it began to flow into the lowlands. Thursday saw it at new heights and the Paw- tucket Dam was hidden from view, with water up to the second floor levels in Rose- mont, and the Tyngsborough boulevard under several feet of water. Classes were dismissed at 11 :00 A.M. and an exodus of students armed with cameras set out to graphically record the flood. The water continued to rise through the night and about thirty students reported on Friday, only to find that classes were cancelled. All bridges, except the Moody Street bridge were closed, with the Aiken, Bridge, and East Merrimack Streets bridges all under water. Thousands were driven out of their homes, wreckage of all sorts and dead cattle and animals choked the river as it carried everything in its path. To those who were merely sightseers it presented an unforgettable spectacle of the fury of an unleashed river; but to other thousands it will be remembered as the monster that destroyed all of their possessions. It was a scene long to be remembered. The river changed its course and crossed Mammoth Road, went down Third Avenue and returned to the river by way of White Street where the water coursed ten feet deep. Military contingents were called; Gloucester fishermen with their dories rescued many; and every public and private agency fell into action. Classes were suspended indefinitely at the Institute as it was used to house several hundred homeless refugees. The famous Francis ' Folly gate and an emergency dam in back of the Lowell Teachers ' College saved the downtown section from complete ruin. With Rosemont, Middlesex Village, Centralville, the boulevards, and East Merrimack Street all 161 THE 19 36 PICKOUT under water the city was sorely harassed by the rampant Merrimack. Lowell Tex- tile Institute did its share in a distressed city, and, to those who were either victims or watchers of the great flood of March 19-20-21, it will leave a memory that no earthly power can erase. Practically every member of the faculty and nearly all of the student body labored to alleviate the distress caused by the flood. Mr. James H. Kennedy, Jr. directed the work at the Lowell Textile Unit. He was assisted by the faculty who directed rescue work; took care of clothing distribution; others ran a social service bureau; and five members of the faculty directed relief work at other stations. The Unit at Lowell Textile was declared by the national officials of the Red Cross to be the best organized and best directed unit that they had ever seen. Professor MacKay directed activities in Chelmsford, while Professor Lowe and Messrs. Chace, Skinkle, Woodbury and Baker operated the Varnum School Unit. The work of the students proved indispensable as they worked as cooks, waiters, switchboard operators, chauffeurs, clerks, and a multitude of other tasks. The emergency resulted in a splendid showing of the cooperation and results that the student body and faculty of Lowell Textile Institute are capable of rendering to the city of which they are a vital asset. After two weeks of hectic and strenuous work classes were resumed on Monday, April 6. 1936 VALUATIONS Most Likely to Succeed. Wormwood. Class Grind. Johnston. Most Brilliant. Shah. Class Bluffer.

' 50 when they were greenhorns. Prof. Wells for amply demonstrating to us the many possible applications of sarcasm to curbing the outbursts of class radicals. Mr. Fox for calling us men when we were still freshies and thereby giving us courage in our efforts. Doc. Chapin for his ability in unleashing the facts of chemistry in his quiet, unperturbed style. Prof. H. C. Brown for his unique method of presenting his courses. With no apparent effort he graphically explains every detail. Doc. Olney for his ability as a chemist and his reputation as a goal to aim at. Doc. Beattie for giving to the chemists his extremely well developed summaries of the facts of organic chemistry. Mr. Chace for his belief that the student should find the facts of the case him- self, and thereby profit from the results. Prof. Fickett for his continual air of joviality and his magnificent personality. Mr. Skinkle for his ability to treat men as men. Messrs. Howarth and Everett for their untiring efforts to instruct the students in real dyeing knowledge. Prof. Stewart for his dual personal accomplishments of being the well dressed man and also the most interesting lecturer at Textile. Doc. Glen for his interesting sidelights on mill work. Prof. Hoellrich, Messrs. Sugden and Merrill for their efforts to disclose the art of weaving to a group that was more often interested in some other activity. Prof. Cashing for his ability to share with us his knack of thoroughly memoriz- ing the contents of any economics book. Prof. R. L. Brown for his truly individual way of teaching the art of woolen manufacturing. Mr. James H. Kennedy for his conscientious methods of teaching his subjects, and for his untiring efforts in attaining his degree. We all could use some of his determination. Prof. Lowe for his lectures that are given with as much accent on the personal application as on the mechanical usage. Prof. Lowe with his very interesting psy- chological pointers is regarded as an ideal lecturer. Prof. Barker for his ability to expound his knowledge of the textile and all related industries, as well as to talk on most any subject in his own fascinating style. 163 THE 19 36 PICKOUT Prof. Ball for showing the Senior Engineers how it is possible to remain calm and reserved even under the most trying circumstances. Miss Foote for being a true friend of the students. Her work is well recognized and appreciated by the Class of 1936. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the entire office staff. Prof. Merrill, Messrs. Woodbury and Baker for their untiring and well pre- sented efforts in divulging the intricacies of both the cotton and the knitting fields. Prof. Merrill is a past master in the art of making sketches of textile mechanisms. The four mad gamblers: Prof. Wells, Messrs. Hindle, Brown, and Edlund for their noontime sessions that liven up the corridors of the Institute. Prof. Judd for his courteous presentation of a difficult subject, electricity, thereby demonstrating that one does not have to howl in order to put across the subject. Messrs. Jack and Patterson for their untiring and helpful assistance to the students. Prof. Bachmann for his good nature and ability to demonstrate the technique of cotton designing. Prof. MacKay for his interest in the publication of the yearbook. To President Eames we extend our thanks for his guidance over us in the past four years. His quiet demeanor coupled with his ability to guide the affairs of the Institute without friction or duplication is a lesson to be gained by all. Senter: So you want to leave the works. Are your wages insufficient? George: Shure ' n ' tain ' t that, sir, but I ' m afraid I ' m doing a horse out of a job. Fleming: Waiter, these are very small oysters. Waiter: Yes, sir.

He is most grateful to Professor MacKay for his good advice; to Miss Foote for her willingness to cooperate and for the time she devoted so generously; to the other members of the faculty who were ever willing to help; to his Board of loyal workers, and to his friends who so willingly supported him in this publication. The Pickout Board is deeply indebted to the Andover Press for the courtesy and many services rendered, and lastly to the loyal and generous advertisers who made this publication possible. 170 ADVERTISERS Index to Advertisers Adams Hardware Co.

The 1936 Pickout is no exception. The staff has worked long and diligently in order to make it an interesting and accurate record of the college year. It has been our privilege to assist in the pub- lication of the book, working in close association with the members of the board.

Name Address Possible mill connection : 181 Established 1764 TWELVE YEARS before the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, the Geigy Organization came into existence. Thus, 1936 finds the Geigy Organization one hundred and seventy- two years old. With that in mind and the fact the organization has shown a conservative and steady growth, it is only reasonable to deduce that Geigy occupies a distinct position in the field of Dyestuffs and Extracts.
