Class 00 Z. Book s3 Textile School Library The Pickout ANNUAL of LOWELL TEXTILE INSTITUTE Published by THE SENIOR CLASS Volume XXXII 1937 To Tracy Addison Adams An Alumnus and former Trustee, devoted to the principles of Lowell Textile Institute, we, the Class of 1937, respectfully dedicate this volume of the Pickout. Biographical Sketch Tracy A. Adams was born in Jaffrey, N. H., April 3. 1889. Here he received his elementary education. After matriculating from the East Bridgewater High School he entered the Lowell Textile School, obtaining his diploma in the Chemistry and Dyeing Course in 1911. His first position was with the Pacific Mills, Cocheco Department, where he remained until 1917 when he occupied a position with the Sayles Bleachery. In 1918 he became superintendent of dyeing in the Arnold Print Works, where, after serving in various capacities, he became Plant Manager. In 1932 he was promoted to the position of Vice-President and General Manager which he now holds. He is affiliated with the Masons, Rotary Club, and Chamber of Commerce, and is a director of the First National Bank. Mr. Adams, his wife and two daughters make their home in North Adams. ' ' .

William Lemkin 3n Jffiemortam The Class of Nineteen thirty-seven suffered a severe loss in the death of one of its most esteemed members, U. William Lemkin. Bill contracted his fatal illness while in service during the dis- astrous flood of March, 1936. Perhaps few know that while in National Guard work, he relieved one of his comrades by voluntarily going on watch in his place. To those who knew Bill, this is only a typical example of his unselfishness and devotion to duty. On Registration Day in 1933, many of us can recall that one of the most congenial and jovial of our group was the fellow whom we were later to know as Bill Lemkin. Soon we found him to be one of the real students of our class, whose avid curiosity of the unknown required much concentrated study. But his gift of humor concealed from many his serious nature. As he was eulogized by Rabbi Warren : Those who were acquainted with Bill thought him very humorous, but those who really knew him thought him serious, in fact, some thought him to be too serious. As an athlete, Bill was in the better than average class. During his Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, he was prom- inent on the football squad and on the baseball team as well. A real friend, a lovable personality, and a man of character, Bill has left a place among us which cannot be filled. .

Many fruitful years lay ahead of them, but what they have ac- complished will always be remembered by their associates in the textile industry. 29 c n a A I 1 C T A r i a H 7 H ?• « I r £ G T e % (Mumim Tr$e« $e ?

On that day we enrolled as students of the Lowell Textile Institute. A two-day orientation program had been thoughtfully arranged for the class and during this period we were welcomed by members of the sophomore class who outlined for us a program that was the lot of all Freshmen to follow. For their advice we were charged a very nominal fee. Also during this period we were given a banquet at the Y. M. C. A., at which President Charles H. Eames greeted the class and introduced the various members of the faculty. Soon we discovered that we were to get more for our donation to the sophomores than just advice. We were given individually a black shirt, red tie, and black and red peak cap which was just big enough to sit on our heads. In this picturesque attire we were on numerous occasions shown the various parts of the city. Field Day came and brought victory for the Freshman Class. According to custom we thus discarded our shirts, ties, and caps. Early in the fall the class held a very successful dance. The Textile Show and Upstream Day were strongly sup- ported by the class. The officers during the year were: Francis X. Nerney, George R. Dupee, Frederick P. Allard, Charles Megas, and G. Frederic Wagner. 1934-1935 With the opening of school, it was now our good fortune to act as advisers to the Freshman Class. Our cordiality was not so well accepted by the Freshmen, who as a matter of fact resented it (Freshman classes usually do). On Field Day the Freshmen emerged victorious but the Sophomores showed their good nature and generosity by holding a dance in their honor — (of course, the money had been do- nated by the Freshmen earlier in the year). Time passed quickly and soon our Sophomore year passed into oblivion. The officers during the year were: Herbert W. Wilkinson, Jr., Harry C. Churchill, Frederick P. Allard, Miss Lucy W. Robbins, and G. Frederick Wagner. 1935-1936 With our return as Juniors we were faced with a schedule that necessitated the use of our utmost ability. Due to the difficulties of the work the class refrained from the running of social affairs. It did, however, willingly participate in Upstream Day. It also fully supported the Textile Show. 33 -. _ „ THE 1937 PICKOUT Because of the loss of President-elect Richard Moushegian by his appointment to West Point, a second election was held. The officers chosen were: Francis X. Nerney, Robert K. Lyle, Miss Lucv W. Robbins, Frederick P. Allard, and Herbert W. Wilkinson, Jr. 1936-1937 We were now the lordly Seniors and though we paraded about with an attitude becoming to such a dignified class, it was with deep regrets that we watched the year quickly ebbing away, for we looked back over the past four years and reviewed in our minds the fun, the happiness and the joys of those years. We are now on the threshold of graduation, beyond whi h lies life. Into this we are to step, each member to go his own separate way. Though we in all probability will never meet again as a class we will march forth with firm step, gladdened at heart by the fact that we take with us a wider and deeper understanding of life than when we entered. The class was kept quite busy during the year. Graduation tasks, added to the class work, kept the majority of the students on the go continually. Although besieged with much work, the class was well represented at the Textile Show and Upstream Day. 34 THE 1937 PICKOUT ■ LOUTS LOSS BASSETT New Haven. Connecticut SQ¥ TE2 Lou Total Loss Varsity Football 1. 2. 3. 4 L.T.E.S. 4 Varsity Basketball 1. 2. 3. 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3 Varsity Baseball 1, 2. 3. 4 Class Treasurer 4 Commencement Committee 4 New Haven has given us no less a personage than Lou Bassett. While sojourning at Penn. State, Lou ' decided that he would like to conquer new- fields at L. T. I. Consequently, he enrolled in the engineering course and has been doing big things ever since. His charming personality, inimitable smile, and willingness to help and share with his friends, have made him one of Textile ' s most popular sons. His ability on the football field and the basketball court have been shown by the fact that he was one of the few men ever to be captain of two teams in one year. Lou has proved himself an unselfish worker and an excellent scholar while at L. T. I. and it is our prediction that Louis L. Bassett will accom- plish great things in his profession as a textile engineer. Best of luck, Lou ! SIDNEY MORRIS BOORDETSKY Cambridge, Massachusetts Sid A.S.M.E. 2, 3 Senior Candy Table 4 L.T.E.S. 4 Commencement Committee 4 Slow, easy going, good-natured Sid. His ready smile and easy companionability make him a real friend to all who meet him. Sid, with a year ' s experience already obtained at M. I. T., began work in earnest by sailing into everything that was placed before him. In spite of his hard studying, he had a longing for social activities which was shown by the innumerable suggestions that he brought forth in all the class meetings. In his quiet way, he seldom mentioned his girl friends, but the boys had ideas about his meander- ings among the fair sex. A man like Sid cannot fail, and we know we shall hear more from him as he climbs the ladder of success. 35 THE 1937 PICKOUT MARION BROWNSON CALDER, B.S. Dallas, Texas Brownie Executive Council 4 Commencement Committee 4 Yes, we all know Marion, the co-ed with the quiet, unassuming, and yet jovial manner. Marion came all the way from Texas to Lowell to obtain her Master ' s Degree as well as add to her repertoire of boy-friends. Both ventures have been successful, to say the least. Although Marion has been very studious, she has found time to engage in many extra-curricular activities and by doing so, has made an innumerable number of friends among the student body. What the well-dressed woman should wear, is typical of this glorious bit of personality who is adept at any situation that may arise. Marion ' s future intentions have not as yet been brought to light, but whatever she does, we feel certain that she has what it takes for one to succeed. HUGH FRANCIS CARROLL Medford, Massachusetts TE2 Hugh Goo-Gee A.A.T.C.C. 2, 3, 4 Rifle Club 1, 2, 3 Student Instructor 4 Hugh comes to us from the city of Medford. He proved himself to be the really bright intellectual star of the class. He is one of those rare individuals who is a possessor of a keen and systematic mind and knows how to use it. However, Hughie was a regular fellow as well as a smart one. He could tell and swap jokes and stories with the best of the class. Having accepted a position as assistant instructor in Quant, Hugh had to divide his senior year into two years ' work. We have welcomed his company immensely, not alone for the knowledge we have obtained, but also for the pleasant enjoyment he offered with his interesting facts. We hope the fol- lowing senior class will enjoy his company as much. As for Hugh ' s life ' s work, we know that whatever he chooses he is sure to succeed. 36 « THE 1937 PICKOUT HARRY COBURN CHURCHILL Lowell. Massachusetts on Ichabod Goo Goo Class Vice-President 1, 2 Class Football 1, 2 Harry was the humorous wit of the class, and his unexpected witticisms were the breaking point of many a serious argument of the fellows. He could always be relied upon to produce funny sayings at the most opportune moments. Harry was also the real collegiate member of the class. His attire rarely differed from what the well-dressed college man should wear. It was always a mystery to us how anyone could wear a suit in ' Doc ' s organic lab and come out with said suit unscathed, but Harry showed it could be done. Harry has shown marked ability in his work here at the Institute and we feel sure that he will not be long in finding the success due him. We offer him best of luck from the Class of 1937. Class Football 1, 2 Varsitv Football 3 Glee Club 4 WILLIAM JAMES DALY Andover, Massachusetts AK$ TE2 Bill A.S.M.E. 2, L.T.E.S. Class Marshal 4 Commencement Committee 4 Bill, the man-about-town, came to Textile fresh from the enthralling arms of Punchard High School in Andover. He soon made himself conspicuous by his reluctance in obeying the Sophs. From then on Bill ' s popularity and number of friends have steadily grown until today he is one of the best liked and most popular in his class. Bill was never known to have taken much interest in the fair sex but with liie advent of the new car we were capable of using our imagination. However, Bill was pretty cozy about his women and no one was able to catch him with any of his femmes. Bill ' s career at the Institute has been char- acterized by hard work and perseverance. We know that this attitude will help him in his climb up the ladder of success. Lots of luck. Bill ! 37 „.. THE 1937 PICKOUT « THOMAS NATHAN FISHER Lowell, Massachusetts on Tommy ' Fish T. N. 77 ' Coop Manager 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3 L.T.E.S. 4 From the wilds of Tyler Park, hand-in-hand with his close friend Freddie Wagner, there came to this seat of learning this good-looking young man. Endowed with a keen mind, an equally keen sense of humor, (and an ability to blush), Tommy has been among the leaders of his class scho ' astically. He has that enviable quality, the ability to get along well with other men. He has made many friends among the faculty and students alike, and we may rest assured that he will make a success in his chosen field of Textile Engineering. Tommy has two weaknesses. The first is Babs. The second is the fact that he still blushes. Neither man nor nature has been able to produce a combination severe enough to keep him frdm the first ; and as for the second, well, a college educa- tion, in the widest sense of the term, has here failed utterly and miserably! In later years, when we of the class of ' 37 shall look in retrospect upon our life at L. T. I., we will find it made brighter and fuller because we were privileged to know Tommy as a fellow student, one worthy of the best traditions of his Alma Mater. We wish you the best of luck, Tom! A.S.M.E. : L.T.E.S. 4 ROLAND MUNROE FULLER Tewksbury, Massachusetts on Roily !, 3 Rifle Club 1, 2, 3, 4 President 3, 4 Roily came to L. T. I. fresh from Silk Square where he received his ground work in textiles. His advent was no doubt due to the influence of his neighbor, Doc Glenn. It was a short time after his matriculation that his interest in the Teachers College girls became very evident. Even now the overwhelming influence of the femme fatales has shown little indication of waning. Despite this, or perhaps because of it. Roily joined the Rifle Club and for two consecutive years won the cup awarded for excellence in marksmanship. Roily will certainly hit the bull ' s-eye in the textile target. Best of luck, Roily ! 38 THE 1937 PICKOUT — LEON STEARNS GAY Cavendish, Vermont L. S. Rifle Club 3. 4 Glee Club 4 Manager and Secretary 4 Chairman Commencement Committee 4 Two years ago this curly-haired representative of Cavendish. Vermont, came to our Institute to gain further knowledge about the Whys ' and Where- fores of the wool industry. During this time he has labored diligently among the cards and combs and other contraptions too numerous to mention, to satisfy his thirst for knowledge. Stearns also realizes the truth of the saying All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and en- joys his week-ends accordingly. No slope or ski trail within a radius of two hundred miles is bad enough to give Stearns a real scare. Without a doubt Stearns will fare well in his field of endeavor and he leaves the Institute with best wishes for success. GU STAVE WARREN HAK ANSON Winchester, Massachusetts TE2 Giis Hack A.A.T.C.C. 2. 3, 4 Class Football 1, 2 Class Basketball 1. 2 Rifle Club 2 It is now our pleasure to present to you the person whose smiling countenance brightens this page; none other than good old Gus Hakanson — Winchester ' s gift to L. T. I. Hack has shown himself to be the answer to a professor ' s prayers in the time he has been with us here. Together with his side kick Hughie, was formed the unbeatable duet of Car- roll and Hakanson. This pair by their research added valuable information to Doc ' s store of knowledge. We have thoroughly enjoyed his friendship dur- ing the past years and we now join hands with the class in wishing him the best of luck in his future work. 39 THE 1937 PICKOUT - LEE GALE JOHNSTON Haverhill, Massachusetts TE2 Lee Legal Johnyy A.A.T.C.C. 3. 4 Assistant Instructor 3, 4 Chairman 4 Rifle Club 3, 4 In the fall of 1932 a country boy ( Haverhill, Mass. I trudged dazedly into the loving arms of Fair Textile. Nothing else could express his en- trance more truly. Once having established himself, he settled down to a conscientious applicaton of his books. Last year he took the position of assistant instructor in Elementary Inorganic Chem. Lab. It is for this reason that he is graduating this year rather than last year. ' Legal is a quiet, likeable gentleman who goes about his business without too much bother for anyone. He is about to leave the Institute along with the best wishes of his class, and we know he will be a credit to his Alma Mater. ROBERT MILLER KENNEDY Dunstable, Massachusetts TE2 Bob S. S. Text 1, 2 Rifle Club 2, 4 Glee Club 2, 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3 L.T.E.S. 4 Trip Manager 4 From the wild hills of Dunstable, there journeyed to Textile a person whom we all know as Bob Kennedy. After Bob spent two years at Textile Engineering, he decided to join the Flying Cadets, but at the duration of two years of flying, Bob decided that his future could be more easily made in the textile field. Thus he returned, joining the Class of 1937. Bob has been much admired by all hi s fellow students as well as his instructors for his ability to work while enjoying the pleasant side of life. As Bob leaves the Institute and his friends, he has creditably earned their well wishes and profound admiration. His fellow students join in wishing him as successful a business career as he has enjoyed a scholastic career during his years at the Institute. 40 THE 1937 PICKOUT FRANK OSCAR LUESCHER Rawtucket, Rhode Island Dingo A.A.T.C.C. 4 Commencement Committee 4 Those who think that Pawtucket is an inferior city should consult none other than Bingo before making a final decision. From whence comes the name nobody seems to know, but it certainly fits this man who seemingly has no interest in Textile doings — then bingo, things begin happening without a bit of warning. Although Bingo didn ' t start out with our class, he has certainly made himself well known within the short time that he has been with us. Sometimes quiet, sometimes noisy. Bingo always does the unusual, such as leading all the classes in laboratory work and occasionally hitting a hard quiz with such apparent ease that the professor is temporarily stunned. Bingo ' has never been known to turn a friend down and never have his numerous friends failed to reciprocate. Bearing these thoughts in mind, the class cannot help but feel and believe that Bingo will some day be on the top in the textile industry. ROBERT KEITH LYLE Lowell, Massachusetts AK$ Shorty Bob Class Vice-President 3, 4 Class Basketball 1, 2 A.A.T.C.C. 4 Interfraternity Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Football 1, 2 It was during the hazing period that we under- went as Freshmen, that notice was first served of a little giant in our midst who carried the appellation of Bob, Shorty Lyle. His single-handed attack upon our tormenters stamped him as one not es- pecially lacking in courage when we considered his size. Bob is a diminutive person, but what he lacks in height is certainly made up for in fight. It was this same fighting spirit of his that carried him with flying colors through P. Chem. and Col- loid while the rest of us wondered why we hadn ' t stooped to an engineering course. We sincerely hope that his undertakings in life will be met with as much vim and vigor as were his courses in school, for then we know that there is but one road open for him — the one straight ahead to success. 41 THE 1937 PICKOUT HAROLD MILLS MANDERBACH, B.A., U.S.A. Ann Arbor, Michigan Cap A.S.M.E. 3 L.T.E.S. 4 Gentlemen, Salute! Here he is, the man who is at all times a living image of that thing called Personality, spelled with a capital P. As far as anybody seems to know, Cap is the only .person in the Institute who can kid a professor along and always get away with it. There is a chance that he acquired this ability from his previous college training or perhaps even from the training of the United States Army. Nevertheless, Cap is ex- tremely well liked by the entire student body with whom he can always be found mixing, whether in school work or outside activities. Cap claims that working for a Master ' s Degree at Textile is no fun after having been graduated from a Liberal Arts College several years ago. However, there is no evidence of anything failing in his scholastic ability, so, it is the firm belief of all who know him, that Cap will more than de- serve a good promotion when he reports back for duty with Uncle Sam. CHARLES MEGAS Lowell, Massachusetts Charlie Vol Class Secretary 1 Class Basketball 1, 2 Class Football 1, 2 Senior Class Candy Table Three o ' clock. Where ' s Megas? was a cry often heard during our last year here at school. For Charlie was the super candy salesman of the senior class. Charles was a quiet fellow, well-known and well-liked by all. He usually refrained from entering into the torrid arguments in which the class always seemed to get tangled up. Yet we are of the opinion that he could have turned those ar- guments upside down. Charlie, a product of the Lowell Schools, took up the T. C. and D. Course. He first drew our attention by the contraption in which he used to come to school. It was deserving of a place in the Smithsonian Institute. We are sure that with his unassuming attitude. Charles will add many to his large list of friends, and we join hands with the entire class in wishing him the best of everything in the years to come. 42 - THE 1937 PICKOUT BASIL ANDREW NATSIOS Lowell, Massachusetts TES Bill A.A.T.C.C. 4 Bill, as he is commonly called, is a product of the Lowell Schools. He came to us as a quiet, un- assuming fellow and he leaves with the same char- acteristics. Basil chose a T. C. and D. career, and for the past four years has distinguished himself by his scholastic efforts. He has always been in demand by us fellows for his knowledge of little known facts about the world in general which have put him in a class second only to Doc Beattie. He possesses a modern, philosophical viewpoint on life and his stories and discussions have always been listened to with much interest. It is with deep regret that we see him go, but with a firm belief that in no matter what field of endeavor he places his talents he will succeed. FRANCIS XAVIER NERNEY Lowell, Massachusetts AK$ TE2 Frank X Class President 1, 3, 4 A.A.T.C.C. 4 Textile Show 1, 2, 3, 4 Executive Council 1, 3, 4 Varsity Baseball 1, 3. 4 Interfraternity Council 4 Class Basketball 1, 2 Pjckout 4 Class Football 1 Interfraternity Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Student Instructor Evening School 4 Early in the fall of 1933, there entered with the class of ' 37 a likeable looking chap from the neigh- boring town of Dracut. He immediately made him - self known as F. X. Nerney, with emphasis on the X. Always resplendent in one of his brother ' s neckties and one of the fancy suits he alone would wear. F. X. gave a true picture of the modern chemist. Frank has been an honor student throughout his college career. He has proven himself popular both with his professors and fellow students. That he has always been willing to be of service is indi- cated by the many social activities in which he has been a leading factor. We are sure that for him success is certain — success of which he is well de- serving. 43 THE 1937 PICKOUT « , — HAROLD ERNEST REED Nashua, New Hampshire Mrs. A.S.M.E. 2, 3 L.T.E.S. 4 It was only four years ago that Textile opened its portals to a Nashuaite known as Harold Reed, a graduate of Nashua High School. A commuter from the start, Harold is well acquainted with ways and means of getting to Lowell, although as yet we don ' t know of his bringing any fair commuters from the great State of New Hampshire. Neverthe- less, we suspect that it is a different story in re- gards to a certain Pawtucket Street damsel. How- ever, we have found Harold to be a quiet, un- assuming classmate. With his experience and interest, Harold should be quite successful in the textile industry, and to him, we extend our good wishes and the best of luck! PAUL WILLIAM REGAN Lowell, Massachusetts AK$ TES Polly Class Football 1, 2 Class Basketball 1, 2 Just ' ' Plain Paul, he ' s called at home, but he ' s known as Pauline, Rosie, Mrs. Nelson, and the Giant Store Kid. All these cognomens are a result of his connection with the Giant Store where he spends all his spare moments. When not at the Giant Store, Paul can be found wandering in the vicinity of Lakeview Avenue or Fayette Street, where the attraction is not one blonde bundle of femininity, but many. In addition to this attractive lure and charm for members of the weaker sex, Paul has a mania for opera stars and for walking in the rain. Despite these facts, Paul has estab- lished quite an enviable scholastic record while at the Institute. He is very neat and exact in his work and is known for his ability to hit the bull ' s- eye on examinations. As Paul goes forth to give battle to the world, he carries the best wishes of his instructors and his classmates. Good luck, Paul! 44 THE 1937 PICKOUT A.SM.E. 2, L.T.E.S. 4 LUCY WILEY ROBBINS Lowell, Massachusetts TE2 Her Highness ' ' Toots 3 Class Secretary 2, 3, 4 Pickout 2, 3, 4 Commencement Committee 4 Business Manager 4 Old Noah Webster will have to discover a few new adjectives so that one may rightly describe the well-rounded personality of Lucy. Her Highness is one of the few co-eds who have ever been able to mix in with the male factors here at the Institute. She seems to have every professor figured out. To one, she uses any easy-going mood; to another, the fire within comes to the surface. As one might say, a Doctor Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. The desire to become a designer is slowly being taken care of in that she has been a student in- structor in Textile Des ' gn at Evening School, as well as being one of Professor MacKay ' s aces. Lucy has all the adaptability and charm neces- sary for a fair young lady to succeed. We all join in wishing you the best of luck. JAMES PETER SPANOS Lowell, Massachusetts AK$ Jimmie Dimetileos Sleepy Varsity Football 2, 3, 4 Orchestra 1, 2, Class Football 1, 2 Class Basketball 1, Interfraternity Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4 Early to bed, early to rise makes a fellow sleepy, was the claim of James Sleepy Spanos. So Jim changed the word early and put in late and thus made way for his success at the Institute. Jim came from Lowell High with an enviable record as a bandman. His versatility on the trom- bone has been displayed on more than one occasion. (Ask Prof. Fickett.) He has been a prominent figure in an attempt to organize a school orchestra. Jimmy is a good-natured fellow. He was always obliging in the use of apparatus, homework, etc. His reasonings and opinions on various subjects have shown him to be the possessor of a keen mind. The class of ' 37 wishes him the best of luck in his life ' s undertakings. 45 • THE 1937 PICKOUT HARVEY CHIH SUNG Tientsin, China Harv A.S.M.E. 2, 3 Rifle Club 3, 4 L.T.E.S. 4 Out of the Far East there came to the Institute, none other than our Harvey Sung. Harvey entered the Institute back in 1930 and remained here for two and one-half years, at the end of which time he was forced to go back to China because of business difficulties. However, Harv returned to us in the fall of 1935 and decided to remain here until he had obtained his degree from the Engineering Course. His easy going manner, likeable personality, and scholastic ability, have earned for him innumerable number of friends among the student body and the faculty. We know that Harvey will be a fine representa- tive of Textile and that when he returns to China he will undoubtedly be a big success along with the other Chinese students who have graduated from Lowell Textile Institute. Best of luck, Harv ! SOCRATES VASILIOS VANIOTIS Lowell, Massachusetts AK$ Socey Apollo Vanny Class Football 1, 2 Class Basketball 1, 2 Interfraternity Basketball 2, 3, 4 A.A.T.C.C. 4 If there was one person in our midst who possessed those qualities which made the hearts ol the opposite sex flutter, then that person was Socey. With his jet-black wavy hair and his Barrymore profile, Socey was the envy of the class. Although he attempted to keep his conquests to himself (Oh yeah!), they somehow seemed to spread till we were all aware of them. Vanny was a serious-minded fellow, but was always ready to oblige with a smile. His person- ality was known throughout the school and he knew everyone from the Freshman Class up by their first name. Such popularity cannot go unrewarded. So to you, Soc, we say good-bye and good luck. 46 THE 1937 PICKOUT GEORGE FREDERIC WAGNER. Jr. Lowell, Massachusetts on Feet Freddie Peanut Text 1, 2. 3. 4 A.S.M.E. 2, 3 Business Manager 4 L.T.E.S. 4 Class Football 1, 2 Out of the Highlands with a weird yell, Freddie Wagner descended upon the Institute to learn the arts and crafts of the Textile Engineering course. A naturally active nature and a likeable personality have kept Feet in the middle of every class function. His real ability coupled with his apparent congeniality have stood in well when called upon to fill any position regardless of the nature. Freddie ' s chief weakness is the fair sex, among whom he spreads his charm with a lavish hand. In his fraternity, Omicron Pi, he has done more than his share in keeping things going top-notch. We feel sure that Freddie will -succeed in his chosen field of endeavor. Best of luck! HERBERT WILLIAM WILKINSON, Jr. Thompson, Connecticut on Tiny Herb Wilkie Text 1, 2, 3 Executive Council 2, 3, 4 Pickout 2, 3, 4 Class President 2 Editor 4 Textile Show 1, 2. 3, 4 Varsity Football 1, 2, 3, 4 General Manager 4 Class Football 1, 2 Rifle Club 1, 2, 3 Interfraternity Council 4 Orchestra 1, 2 Student Instructor Evening School 2, 3 Fraternity Basketball I, 2, 3, 4 From the little state of Rhode Island came the biggest member of the class — big not alone in size but in good nature. Many a prank was played on him and many did he play on others, but whether or not he was the goat he always enjoyed him- self. From the very conception of our class, Tiny (as he was sometimes called) showed himself pos- sessor of those qualities of any real leader. Wilkie was a real, honest-to-goodness worker. His motto was never to leave anything up to the next fellow. That lie lived up to this is clearly shown by the activities in which he engaged. He was always ready and willing to serve, and such a dominant nature as he possesses will reward him with success throughout his life ' s work. 47 THE 1937 PICKOUT « GEORGE WARD WRIGHT, Jr. Newton, Massachusetts on G. Wr Georgie Right Pickout 4 Class Basketball 1, 2 Text 2, 4 Class Football 1, 2 Fraternity Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4 A.A.T.C.C. 4 We take pleasure in introducing to you none other than Georgie Wright, the lanky handsome member of the Senior class. George is of the strong, quiet type of he-men and we know little of his various experiences, but what we do know is suf- ficient. Looking at his athletic activity we see him as a participant in fraternity basketball. Many a time one of those long drawn out yeows of his was the cause of unnerving an opposing player who was about to sink the basket. Seriously, George was really a studious worker, always willing and ready to give help to his fellow students. We know that he will reap the success due him and in bidding him good-bye, we wish to add that he takes with him the best wishes of the class.

Buckley President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative to the Executive Council 52 THE 1937 PICKOUT Junior Class History 1934-1935 On Thursday, September 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 explained 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 Comstock; Representative to Executive Council, James Lyons; Executive Committee, Earl Olsen, Burgess Harpoot, Thomas Hardy; Social Committee, Francis Bresler, John Fleming, Stephen Kostrzewa. 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 featuring John McMammon of the famous Notre Dame Seven Mules ' ' presented an enjoyable program for all who attended. 53 THE 1937 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 misunderstanding, 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 were as follows: President, Kenneth R. Fox; Vice-President, George Sood; Treasurer, Tom Comstock; Recording Secretary, Anita Dori; Corresponding Secretary, Alda Cherr; Repre sen- tative to the Executive Council, James Lyons. 1936-1937 Now Juniors, the class merely watched the Freshman-Sophomore proceedings for the first few weeks. On March 12, 1937, the Athletic Association conducted a sports dance for the purpose of awarding the Textile T ' s. The support given this dance by the Class of 1938 was especially noticed. The following members of the Class of 1938 were elected captains for the year 1937-1938. Football, Clinton Grossman; Basketball. Charles Kelakos. Officers for the year were Francis Qualey, President; George Sood, Vice- President; Joseph Mahoney, Treasurer; Anita Dori, Secretary. 54 THE 1937 PICKOUT 1938 Class Roll Name Course Broadhurst, Russell Denton IV Buckley, Herman Timothy IV Fleming, John Harvey II Fox, Kenneth Russell VI Freedman, David VI Fvfe, Robert Clark IV Garcia, Lorenzo Montero VI Getchell, Nelson Fletcher IV Grossman, Clinton IV Hardy, Thomas Wadsworth IV Harpoot, Burgess Charles VI Holem, Charlie VI Howard, Winfield Hersey IV Kaplan, Samuel Gilbert IV Kelakos, Charles George VI Kelly - , Warren Thomas VI Klosowicz, Edward Joseph VI Knicht, Richard G.

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 atmos- phere tfian had been found before. Our adviser, 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 milk bottles 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. 59 THE 1937 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 Sophomores, 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 exciting basketball game which ended in a tie. The tug o ' war was won by the Sophomores, 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 adviser, 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 PVeshman class have proven their initiative from the start. We hope to keep up the good work and will do our utmost to be a credit to our school. Here ' s to the future of the class of 1939! 1936-1937 Returning from a short summer ' s vacation with our ever following originality, we found that our class had dropped considerably in number. At our first class meeting, we decided that due to the amazing number of Freshmen we would have a short, snappy initiation. 60 THE 193 7 PICKOUT — The second night of school we ran a most successful smoker in honor of the Freshman Class. President Eames welcomed the new men and a short entertainment followed. After the entertainment we introduced the Freshman Class to their superiors in order that they might feel more at home. At the elections which were held early in the year, Lester Greene was re-elected President of the class, and Burton Winkler was re-elected Treasurer. Frederic Ek- strand was elected Vice-President; Phyllis Baker, Secretary; and King Grinnell, Representative to the Executive Council. 61 — THE 1937 PICKOUT - 1939 Class Roll Name Course Allard, Frederick Pratt IV Baker, Phyllis Jeanne VI Banta, John Garrett VI Beauregard, Gilbert Joseph VI Bone, Stewart Arthur Peter VI Brantman, Jackson Agmor II Caveney, William John IV Colby, Vernon Warren IV Comins, Richard Coolidge VI Cunningham, Harold Russell IV Cutrumbes, Demosthenes John IV Depoian, Vasken John IV Derzawetz, Joseph VI Dick, Henry Kendal VI Dori, Anita Marie VI Ekstrand, Frederic Lawrence VI Fox, Theodore Webster VI Foss, Woodrow George IV Gianaris, George Demetrios VI Goodwin, John Alden VI Greene, John Lester VI Grinnell, King Asa VI Hatch, Robert Clinton VI Jarek, Helen Jane IV Kane, Roger Hugh II Kareores, Gregory George VI Kiernan, James Vincent VI LaBonte, Andrew Shea VI Lambert, Robert DeForest VI Lehto, Reino Gust II Levin, Samuel IV Lyons, James Francis, Jr. IV Marsden, Sidney Robert IV Miller, Arnold Irving IV Monahan, Harold Joseph IV Murphy, Hubert James IV O ' Donoghue, Eilene Margaret III Olsen, Herbert Charles IV Pace, Herbert Stanton IV Patsourakos, James Peter IV Prescott, William Benjamin IV Reed, Everett Carlton VI Reed, William Thorncroft VI Rowntree, Clyde Burton VI Spevack, Edward IV Steinberg, Sidney VI Thomas, Henry Edward VI Thomas, Fred VI Tuttle, Kendall Chapin VI Winkler, Burton Cole IV School Last Attended Lowell High School Winchendon High School Cliffside Park Lowell High School Hollywood High School Polytechnic Preparatory Keith Academy Haverhill High School Punchard High School Lowell High School Lowell High School Lowell High School Massachusetts Institute of Tech.

The Freshman Class OFFICERS Fred F. Balas Rudolph W. Meuser Frank G. Roux Lawrence Aigen Joseph Pelt President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative to the Executive Council 66 THE 1937 PICKOUT - Freshman Class History On Thursday, September 17, 1936, the Class of 1940 made its first none too graceful entrance into the Lowell Textile Institute. We brother Freshmen could be identified by the pencils and rulers. sticking out of our breast pockets. The class was welcomed by Professor James G. Dow, the Freshman Class Adviser. Miss Ruth Foote, Registrar, brought forth a brilliant array of cards to be filled out that in no way made matters any more enlightening. Nearly all the Freshmen got off to a good start by passing the examinations consisting of a color-blind test and a physical examination. Next came the poses for the camera which excited much wonderment in the minds of the Frosh ' ' as to just what was coming next. The Merrimac River Runs Deep! These threatening words of J. Lester Greene, Prexy of the Sophs, represented the first trick of the Sophomores. The downfall of their initiation program headed by C. J. Reed, Fred Ekstrand, and Lester Greene proved the old adage. Together we stand, divided we fall. We were very amiably informed. The two dollars which you are about to give will be used for your own benefit. To end the orientation program, a reception was given the Class of 1940 at the Mount Pleasant Golf Club. At this smoker we had the pleasure of hearing President Charles H. Eames and meeting many of the instructors and students. Knowing that the Sophomores could not make us wear the pate protectors anyway, we took pity on them and permitted them to win the field day. Afer all, we had humiliated them in the presence of the upper-classmen by not performing for them in the corridors and on the street. We, the Class of 1940, wish to thank some kind neighbors for the light that was so generously supplied the night that we put our numerals on the canal wall. Thanks to them, we had light streaming from police cars on both bridges which helped the painting considerably. We all think Cy Wheelock is a master-hand with the brush but the Sophomores do not think his job was any too good: it is plain one can still see parts of the canal wall behind the numerals. This vear ' s Freshman Class was well represented in all athletic teams. We were very proud to have among us Rudy Meuser, the star on the football team, even though we didn ' t admit he was a Freshman when he lost his pants in the Brooklyn game. This was the first time in the history of Lowell Textile Institute that a Freshman basketball team and Freshman rifle team have been organized. If any more Freshmen report for baseball we may be able to add this sport to our list. The election of officers took place in October. The following persons were elected to lead the class in its first year in the Institute: President, Ralph Moulton; Vice- President, Fred Balas; Secretary, Frank Roux; Treasurer, Lawrence Aigan; Repre- sentative to the Executive Council, Joseph Pelt. Due to unavoidable circumstances, our President was forced to leave school and was succeeded by Fred Balas as Presi- dent, with Rudolph Meuser as ice-President. 67 THE 1937 PICKOUT — — During the month of November, the class was invited to attend the fraternity smokers. Such social functions as these afforded many enjoyable moments for the Freshmen; perhaps even more enjoyable (? ) were the experiences in store for those who joined. The Christmas Dance, which was sponsored by the class, was held on December 10, 1936, in Liberty Hall. The hall was appropriately decorated and it was the un- animous opinion of every one present, that the party was a social and financial success. Scholastically, athletically, socially — no matter which way one turns he will find the Class of 1940 well represented. 68 « THE 1937 PICKOUT 1940 Class Roll Name Course AcaNj William Wallace II Aigen, Lawrence VI Arcersinger, Clarence Daniel II Balas.

Ambrose Murray, later big league material, worked for Brown during the first seven innings and allowed but one run. Al Alcott started for Textile, allowing six runs in five innings. Ken Fox then entered the game and gave the Brown team but one run for the remainder of the game. With the score 7 to 1 going into the last inning, Textile rallied to score two runs and might have produced more except for the excellent pitching of Don Eccles- ton. He struck out three Lowell men with the bases loaded. However, Textile en- gineered a triple steal to score a run on him. The summary: Textile: 3 runs, 6 hits, 3 errors. Brown: 7 runs, 10 hits, no errors. TEXTILE 0— TUFTS 5 Lou Athanas ' s Texas league single into short right field with two away in the ninth was all that hindered Izzy Harris, Tufts pitcher, from entering the Hall of Fame. It was the only hit off Harris in nine full innings. Ken Fox pitched for Textile and was nicked for three runs in the first inning. He then held them to two more runs for the next eight innings. Although Izzy Harris pitched a splendid game as far as hits were concerned, Ken struck out just as many as he did; namely, six men. The summary: Textile: no runs, 1 hit, 2 errors. Tufts: 5 runs, 6 hits, 4 errors. TEXTILE 5— WORCESTER ASSUMPTION 1 Breaking a deadlock in the ninth inning, Textile scored four runs to hand Al Alcott a well-deserved win. Textile drew first blood in the second inning by scoring one run on two bases on balls, a sacrifice hit, and an error. Assumption tied the score in the third on a single, stolen base, and another hit. For five innings the score remained deadlocked with both Alcott for Textile and Bernardin for Assumption pitching superb ball. The ninth chapter, however, proved to be the Waterloo for Assumption. Bunch- ing five hits, a base on balls, and an error, Textile scored four runs, thereby clinching the game. Scharshmidt and Dursin were the big stickers for Textile. The summary: Textile: 5 runs, 12 hits, 1 error. Assumption: 1 run, 7 hits, 3 errors. 76 « THE 1937 PICKOUT — — TEXTILE 17— AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL 6 Textiles powerful battering ram proved to be too much for the pitchers of the American International College. Scoring four runs in the fourth and six in the fifth, Textile went on a batting spree, conquering their less powerful opponents easily- Fox pitched most of the game. being ' relieved by Alcott in the seventh and Thomas in the ninth. Carrol hurled for A. I. C. Athanas, Dursin, and Fox were the main offensive powers, while Civic and Carrigan proved to be the main hitters for A. I. C. The summary: Textile: 17 runs, 17 hits, 4 errors. American International: 6 runs, 11 hits, no errors. TEXTILE 4— CLARK 10 On a windy day in Worcester, Textile went down to defeat before Clark. Clark opened up a powerful attack on Al Alcott, scoring 3 runs in the first, 2 in the second, and 4 in the third. Al was then relieved by Ken Fox, who held the Clarkites to 1 run in 5 innings. The Textile boys, on the other hand, were not doing much on their part to even up the score, with one run in the first, second, third, and ninth innings. Fleming, for Clark, not only pitched well but collected four hits out of five trips to the plate, two of them doubles. Johnnie Hackett was the only Textile player to receive two hits, both singles. The summary: Textile: 4 runs, 8 hits, 4 errors. Clark: 10 runs, 14 hits, 3 errors. TEXTILE 12— COAST GUARDS 3 Textile proved to be too much for the Coast Guards, scoring three runs in the second, four in the fifth, two in the seventh, and three in the eighth for a total of twelve runs, while the Guards pushed over only three runs. Rusty Yarnall gave most of his substitutes a chance in this game, using 14 players and allowing them to play under fire. Hackett and Athanas proved to be the stickers for Textile, while Blouin was the main thorn in Textiles side. Ken Fox pitched for Textile, while Russell and Thomp- son hurled for the Coast Guards. The summary: Textile: 12 runs, 14 hits, 5 errors. Coast Guards: 3 runs, 6 hits, 3 errors. 77 „_, _„_ THE 1937 PICKOUT ■ — TEXTILE 3— MIDDLEBURY 5 Dropping the first game of their two day New York trip, Textile lost to the Middlebury teachers by a score of 5 to 3. Al Alcott and Ken Fox pitched for Textile, while Gustafson hurled for Middlebury. Athanas was the main cog on the offensive, connecting for two hits in four trips to the plate, one of them being a triple. Nash turned the same trick for Middlebury. Errors turned the tide of the game since Middlebury committed no faux pas. while Textile missed six chances. The summary: Textile: 3 runs, 7 hits, 6 errors. Middlebury: 5 runs, 8 hits, no errors. TEXTILE 9— ALBANY STATE TEACHERS 4 Textile evened up ' ' on their New York trip by decisively winning over the Albany State Teachers ' College. Textile bettered the teachers in runs, hits, extra base hits, and strike-outs. Contrary to the previous day against Middlebury, Textile made only two errors against five for Albany. Scharchmidt, Athanas, and Dursin all collected three hits each, with Athanas and Dursin providing two doubles. Nerney also collected a triple and a single. Thomas and Fox pitched for Textile, while Ryan did the honors for Albany. The summary: Textile: 9 runs, 14 hits, 2 errors. Albany: 4 runs, 9 hits, 5 errors. TEXTILE 1— NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE 3 Faced with major league material for a pitcher, Textile lost its attack, losing in the fifth, sixth, and eighth innings. Bill Weir hurled for New Hampshire and blinded our players with smoke mixed in just the correct proportions with tantalizing curves and slow balls. Jackie Brant- man, the freshman second baseman, was the only player able to hit Bill, Jack collect- ing three of the five hits collected by Textile. Al Alcott pitched for Textile and much could be said for the manner in which he pitched, as he allowed but seven hits. New Hampshire collected one run in the fifth, sixth, and eighth innings. The summary : Textile: 1 run, 5 hits, 2 errors. New Hampshire: 3 runs, 7 hits, no errors. 78 THE 1937 PICKOUT ► . TEXTILE 0— BOSTON COLLEGE 12 Boston College swamped over Textile to the tune of 12 to 0. Textile was beaten decisively in every branch of the game, B. C. collecting nine hits to but three for Textile. Textile miscued 7 times to 1 for Boston College. Ken Fox, Al Alcott, and Fred Thomas pitched for Textile, while Lane hurled for Boston College. Boston College collected two doubles and two triples with Ready helping him- self to one of each. Jack Brantman connected with two of the three hits for Textile, one of these being a double. The summary: Textile: no runs, 3 hits, 7 errors. Boston College: 12 runs, 9 hits, 1 error. TEXTILE 9— UPSALA 8 If Frank Merriwell were ever impersonated in real life, Ken Fox surely would be that person. Ken was sent into the game with a six run handicap in the second inning. He held the powerful Upsala club to two runs in seven innings, while his teammates collected six runs behind him. Therefore at the start of the last half of the eighth inning, Textile was trailing by 2 runs. Scharchmidt, the first batter, clipped a power- ful single to center. Nerney was hit by a pitched ball and Welch sacrificed them both along. There were now men on second and third, one out, and two runs behind. A hit would tie the game. Ken Fox was batting. With two strikes on him, Kennie took a healthy swing, connected, and then trotted around the base-line unmolested. The ball went sailing over the roof of Textile Institute for a home run. This, of course, brought home three runs, changing the complexion of the game as Textile forged into the lead by the scant margin of one run. Ken then pitched the last inning, holding the Upsala club and keeping the score 9 to 8 in favor of Textile. Scharshmidt and Lou Athanas also were batting heroes for Textile and Slifkin fcr Upsala. The summary: Textile: 9 runs, 10 hits, 1 error, c Upsala: 8 runs, 11 hits, 2 errors. 79 _ _,« THE 193 7 PICKOUT — . , .. TEXTILE 0— PROVIDENCE 10 Textile proved to be powerless in the hands of Collins, Providence College ace. Frank Nerney was the only one to garner a hit from him, that one a single. Lane fanned 12 men while his teammates collected 10 runs on 14 hits, Moge and Landry being the batting stars as the former clouted two doubles and a single, while the latter swatted a homer and two singles. Ken Fox started the game as pitcher but was removed in the first inning in favor of Al Alcott. The summary : Textile: no runs, 1 hit, 4 errors. Providence: 10 runs, 14 hits, 2 errors. TEXTILE 6— NORTHEASTERN 8 Facing a four-run handicap going into the eighth inning. Textile was fighting with its back to the wall. Its cause looked almost hopeless. However, Lou Dursin drew a base on balls, Scharshmidt reached on an error, and Jackie Brantman waited for a walk. Then 7 with the bases loaded, Lou Athanas swung lustily and the ball went for a lone ride. Lou just capered home, scoring three men before him, after which, Johnnie Hacked, who must have thought he was playing spunk the leader with Athanas, also slammed a home run. These five runs forged Textile into the lead, 6 to 5. | j ' However, five hits scored three runs for Northeastern in the ninth inning, and all our hopes faded. Lou Athanas also helped himself to a single and a double, while Johnnie Hack- ed collected a single. Al Alcott pitched creditably, striking out ten and walking none. Rook and Makiernan hurled for Northeastern. The summary: Textile: 6 runs, 6 hits, 5 errors. Northeastern: 8 runs, 15 hits, 1 error. TEXTILE 16— FITCHBURG STATE TEACHERS 7 The boys certainly went to town in this game, scoring 16 runs and 14 hits. From these fourteen hits there were four doubles and one triple. Red Thomas started and pitched creditably until the fourth inning, when he was relieved bv Ken Fox because of a streak of wildness. Ken then held them away ad- mirably while his teammates behind him piled up 16 runs. The hits for Textile were divided evenly with every player collecting at least one hit. Bassett, Athanas, and Hackett each collected two. Moore and Twormley hurled for the teachers but our boys found no trouble in hitting either pitcher. Dursin performed admirably at first, accepting eleven chances without an error. The summary: Textile: 16 runs. 14 hits, 2 errors. Fitchburg: 7 runs, 9 hits, 1 error. 30 . . _ THE 193 7 PICKOUT — . . TEXTILE 0— HARVARD GRADUATES 12 Showing a complete reversal in form, Textile was completely blanked by Lough- lin and Donaghy, scoring no runs and only collecting seven hits. The Textile team proved to be quite a disappointment to the many Alumni who had gathered at the Institute, the day being Alumni Day. Al Alcott started the game but was relieved by Ken Fox in the fifth, who was in turn replaced by Fred Thomas in the ninth. Gene Scharshmidt helped himself to two singles, while Frank Nerney collected a single and a double, these two being the only ones to hit safely more than once. The graduates also showed the team how to field, playing the whole game with- out an error. This is quite a feat considering the rough playing field that we have. The summary: Textile: no runs, 7 hits, 3 errors. Harvard Graduates: 12 runs, 16 hits, no errors. TEXTILE 13— SPRINGFIELD 19 There must have been a little wager or some other inspiration to make the boys hit the way they did that day, scoring 19 runs and 22 hits for Springfield against 13 runs and 19 hits for Textile. What a free-for-all melee that was. Here are the pitchers ' records: For Textile: 13 hits in 5 1-3 innings from Alcott; 9 hits in 2 2-3 innings from Fox. For Springfield: 7 hits in 3 1-3 innings from Hall; 12 hits in 5 2-3 innings from Malins. Ken Fox collected a homer and a triple in three trips to the plate; Hackett helped himself to four singles in five times at bat; Buckley hit two singles and a double in 5 trips. Towle and Cella both collected three hits, one of the latter ' s being a triple. Every man on the Springfield team hit safely at least once. Springfield jumped into a quick lead, scoring five runs in the first inning. How- ever, Textiie rallied so th t, at the end of the fourth, the score was tied 5 to 5. Spring- field must have seen red at the very thought of meeting a team who stood up to them blow for blow because they came back strongly to score 14 runs in the next four innings to make their final score 19. Textile scored 3 times in the seventh, twice in the eighth, and three times again in the ninth, to pull its score up to thirteen. This was the best they could do, however, and so the final score was 19 to 13. The summary: Textile: 13 runs, 19 hits, 4 errors.

Every year they have to take it on the chin in the opening game of the football season. This year was no exception since our boys were beheaded to the tune of 66 to 0, with the New Hampshire team acting as the executioner. How- ever, we have the consolation of knowing that the present Wildcat eleven is one of the best that that school has ever put on the field. The powerful New Hampshire team piled up 37 points in the first half and 29 in the second. They pushed over 24 first downs while Textile garnered but 1. This was the first game in which Rudy Meuser officiated at quarterback. Al- though supposed to be the star and keystone of the Textile attack, he was held by an air-tight defense. Let us hope that some day we may have the privilege of playing a team on the opening day which is on our own level, so that our boys might at least start the season off on the right foot. PANZER 12— TEXTILE The favored Textile team went down to defeat before the Panzer team through two unlucky breaks: a fumble and a blocked kick. These both occurred in the fourth period. Our team proved to ' be on the offensive for the first three quarters. Three times they brought the ball within scoring distance and three times they were pushed back. On one of these occasions they had the ball on Panzer ' s three-yard line, only to be stopped by the rival forward wall. Late in the fourth period, Textile fumbled on their own 32-yard marker. After the pile of humanity had been pulled apart, away down at the bottom covering the ball was a Panzer player. On the next play Huck Fischbein, the opposing fullback, ran 32 yards for a score. The try for the extra point was blocked. A few minutes later, Pascarella, the Panzer left end, blocked a punt, recovered, and ran like a frightened rabbit over the 10 yards for a second score. Again the try for the point-after-touchdown was useless. Captain Bassett was injured during the game, providing a chance for Art Connors to make his initial appearance in a Red and Black line-up. Russ Cunning- ham and Leo Rosenstein played sterling games. AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL 19— TEXTILE 7 Textile scored their first points of the season in this game, their third. Late in the fourth quarter, with the ball on the 10-yard line. Joe Doukszewicz passed to Cap- tain Lou Bassett, who scampered over the line for the lone tally. While holding an unusually heavy team scoreless for the entire first half, Textile itself also could not shake loose; and so the first half ended in a scoreless tie. How- ever, this was just the beginning, since the Internationals started a passing spree 84 THE 1937 PICKOUT which netted them a touchdown with Lavin nabbing one of Lamoureax ' s passes. Then this same Lamoureax, who proved to be quite a thorn in Textile ' s side all afternoon, intercepted a Textile pass and raced for the second score. The Internat ' s last touchdown occurred in the last period when Connors, who had just caught a pass to bring the ball up to Textile ' s one-yard line, carried the ball over for a final score. UNIVERSITY OF MAINE 21— TEXTILE Scoring 7 points in each of the first three periods, the Maine first team piled up a 21 to lead w ' hich the University second team held in the last quarter. Old Man Weather must have felt very sorry for the Textile team since he shed tears of rain all during the game. He didn ' t help the situation, however, since Textile had planned a surprise air attack for the Maine team. Our boys did try a passing game in the fourth period but a slippery ball was too much for them since they completed just one pass for a gain of 10 yards. Maine, on the other hand, produced its gains on line plunges and end runs with nary a thought or a resemblance of a pass. They completely outplayed Textile and the outcome of the game was never in doubt. UPSALA 63— TEXTILE We thought we had some excuse for a 66 to setback at the hands of the powerful New Hampshire team, but 63 to by Upsala! That is something to crow about. However, your reporter doubts if it will ever happen again if reports and rumors after the game are to be believed. Upsala scored 12 points in each of the first two quarters, 13 markers in the third period, and 26 in the final canto. After the first quarter, the entire Upsala team was taken out and a whole new second team was inserted. They, however, proved to be just as dangerous as the first team. Lou Bassett and Charlie Kelakos proved to be the main cogs for Textile, both defensively and offensively. ARNOLD 7— TEXTILE 6 A strong Arnold club arrived in Lowell all ready to take the measure of the Textile team. They left at night with their tails between their legs, lucky to ' squeeze out a 7 to 6 victory over the underdog, Textile. Textile gained a moral victory over a strong Arnold club, displaying for the first time this season really effective work both offensively and defensively. The first half ended with Textile trailing by a score of 7 to 0. Arnold scored their point by an off-tackle plunge and a place kick conversion for the extra point. Rusty Yarnall must have given the boys just the right kind of pep talk and encouragement, for the team came back and completely out-ran and out-played the favored Arnold team. Captain Lou Bassett ran cleverly through the whole team for a 60-yard gain. Then halfback Art Connors plunged over from the 4-yard line where Lou was stopped. A pass for the extra point was blocked and Textile was forced to accept a 7 to 6 reverse. 85 ... , . «. THE 193 7 PICKOUT , . - BROOKLYN 7— TEXTILE 6 For the second time in five days, Textile was forced to accept a 7 to 6 setback, this time at the hands of the Brooklyn College eleven. Again Textile entered the fray the underdog and again the favored team just squeezed a win out of Lowell. This game might be called a twin of the game played last week. The visiting team scored 7 points in the first half, our team garnered 6 points in the second half after a pep talk by Rusty, and again Textile was on the verge of scoring when the final gun sounded. In the opening minutes of play, Rudy Meuser staged a sensational run of 50 yards. However, this proved to be of no avail when Lou Bassett ' s forward pass was intercepted by a Brooklyn player. Then Matsoukas tossed a shovel pass to Ro- senthal, who ran the whole length of the field for a score. Herb Pollack, the right tackle, then stepped out of character long enough to place-kick the extra point. In the third quarter, Textile came to life and, after a long march down field, Captain Bassett scored from the five-yard line. This long march was executed by real line plunging and end runs. Herb Wilkinson tried to convert the extra point, but careless defensive work allowed a Brooklyn player to crash through and block the kick. During the last minute of play, long passes were sent Johnny Banta ' s way, and, although large gains were made, the final gun barked too soon, leaving Textile on the short end of the count. NORTHEASTERN 45— TEXTILE Lowell closed one of its most disastrous seasons in years by dropping a 45 to verdict to the Northeastern Huskies. Tech was helpless throughout the contest. Textile tried in vain to find itself but at no time threatened. Captain Lou Bas- sett and Leo Rosenstein were the only shining lights. There seemed to be no limit to the ability of Jim Connolly who scored four of his team ' s seven touchdowns. Twice he snared passes out of the air and galloped more than half the field to score stand- ing up. His all-around play was a feature of the tilt. 86 THE 1937 PICKOUT Basketball OFFICERS Louis L.

The game was played on the home court on January 8. Panzer started the game off with a rush but Textile held the visiting team, with George Gianaris playing a bang-up game at defense. At the start of the second half, Textile really got down to business and forged well out into the lead. With the score at 34 to 25 and just a few seconds to play, Coach Rusty Yarnall sent his whole second team into the fray. They performed admirably, holding the powerful Panzer team and completing the game to the tune of 36 to 30. TEXTILE 55— FALL RIVER 37 For the second time in as many days, Textile conquered a powerful foe. This time the victim was the club from the Fall River School. As in the last game, Textile started slowly, but when they shifted into high, there was no question as to the out- came of the game, with the final count being 55 to 37 with Lowell on top. Lou Bassett and Joe Doukszewicz started offensively while again George Giana- ris was on the job defensively. These two victories over Panzer and Fall River set the stage for a banner night with the Providence College club. A victory over the latter would add much to the prestige of our boys. TEXTILE 25— PROVIDENCE 28 A belated scoring attack after Textile had deadlocked the game with about two minutes to play was enough for Providence College to eke out a victory over our boys in a hard-fought game at the Rex Arena. Providence came to Lowell after shadowing Dartmouth the previous night and expected to practically wipe the floor with us. However, they found a stubborn, kicking mule which almost kicked them into submission. The first half ended without much scoring, the Friars leading by a score of 11 to 10. As the second half started, Providence increased its lead over Textile, but late in the second half, Lou Bassett sent in a foul shot through the hoop to tie the score. Textile forged into the lead when Joe Doukszewicz shot a basket from the floor. However, Providence staged a rally to squeeze out a three point victory. 89 « THE 193 7 PICKOUT TEXTILE 33— ASSUMPTION 17 Again Textile forced its way into the win column when the team trounced Assump- tion 33 to 17. The game was played on the local court. Lowell started right off with a rally which did not end until the final whistle blew, practically doubling their opponents ' score. Joe Doukszewicz and Lou Bassett were the main cogs in the offense. Assumption fought gamely but simply could not get underway. They changed their style of play but found Textile capable of hand- ling them under any style. TEXTILE 27— RHODE ISLAND STATE 45 Completely outplayed in every department, Textile was forced to accept a 45 to 27 setback at the hands of the Rhode Islanders. The game was played at the Kings- ton courts. The Rams jumped at the very start into the lead which they never re- linquished. Joe Doukszewicz was high scorer for Textile, scoring 12 points while Lou Bas- sett was right behind him. TEXTILE 28— BROOKLYN 29 Freezing the ball for the last three minutes, Brooklyn College managed to nose out a 29 to 28 victory. The play up to the half was very even, with Brooklyn leading 17 to 16. For the first six minutes of the second half, Lowell was unable to score, while Brooklyn increased its lead to 27 to 16. However, Textile rallied and with but four minutes left to play, our team was leading 28 to 27. Then Schaen, the opposing left forward, sank an overhead shot to put Brooklyn in front after which the local team held the ball. Joe Doukszewicz again was the high scorer with 12 points, with Charlie Kelakos trailing with 8 points. TEXTILE 42— HUDSON COLLEGE 33 Scoring most of their points in the last half, Textile returned to the win column again by a decisive 42 to 33 victory over the Hudson College team. This was the second ga,me of the New York trip, the first being lost to Brooklyn College. How- ever, Textile made up for this defeat by trouncing Hudson College, a powerful rival. 90 _ THE 1937 PICKOUT ► TEXTILE 23— PRATT 32 Textile dropped the third game of their New York tour to Pratt by the score of 32 to 23. The win over Textile was quite a surprise to Pratt followers who thought that our team, beaten by Brooklyn by but one point and overwhelmingly trouncing the Hudson College team, would be a hard nut to crack. However, the injury to Charlie kelakos in the Hudson game proved to be too great a handicap. Joe Doukszewicz again showed his supremacy by scoring ten points while George Gianaris, the right guard, was second high with six points. Levin, the oppos- ing right guard was high scorer for Pratt, piling up 10 points. With two losses against one win on their New York trip, the Red and Black boys will be out to even up the series with a victory over the Montclair Teachers. TEXTILE 19— MONTCLAIR TEACHERS 50 The strain must have been too great for Textile! A 50 to 19 reverse at the hands of the Montclair Teachers seemed to prove this. Textile was quite ragged in this contest, allowing Montclair to pile up an ad- vantage two and one-half limes our score. However, some consideration must be given to the fact that Textile played four games in four days, quite a schedule for any team. This being the last game on the trip, the boys returned and rested up for their scrap with the New Hampshire W ildcats. TEXTILE 31— NEW HAMPSHIRE 23 What will Textile do next? Just three days ago they lost ignominiously to an inferior club and yet here they are beating one of the best University of New Hamp- shire quintets in years. Joe Doukszewicz surely was a thorn in the Wildcats ' side. Going into the second half trailing at 15 to 13, Joe went wild, popping them in from every angle and finally put Lowell ahead with a beautiful shot from mid-floor. From this point on, our boys just went to town. Joe himself accounted for 14 points, just two less than the two high scorers for New Hampshire. When one considers this victory over a powerful foe, one can surely see why the experts call our team a hard-to-guess club. 91 . THE 193 7 PICKOUT « . — TEXTILE 29— ARNOLD 32 Our team celebrated its homecoming by dropping a 32-29 game to Arnold. This was a surprise to everybody, even to the players on the Arnold team. Arnold started with a vengeance, scoring eight points while we could only garner three points. Then our boys went to town on a scoring spree and pushed themselves above Arnold at the end of the first quarter. However, we could not hold a lead long over the rival team, since, after the second quarter started, we were be- hind for the remainder of the game. Doukszewicz was again high scorer for Textile but all his efforts were in vain. TEXTILE 26— BROWN 50 Completely baffled by the style of play offered by the Brownites, Textile was forced to accept a severe drubbing to the tune of 26 to 50. The game was played in Providence on the Brown College court. T l Textile played under a handicap in this fray. They had an inferiority complex, knowing that they were the underdogs. In view of this, Brown scored two points for every one of ours. Brown played an aggressive type of play, scoring past our defense men time after time, and yet holding our team down to 26 points. TEXTILE 27— PROVIDENCE 48 Again Providence took the measure ' ' of our gallant team for the second time this season. The Friars jumped into an early lead and never gave it up. However, Textile kept fighting right up to the last second. Joe Doukszewicz, one of the big scorers among New England players, dropped in five baskets from the floor totalling 10 points while Bobinski tallied 13 markers for his team. Davin of Providence sank 4 baskets for a total of 8 points for himself. TEXTILE 27— NORTHEASTERN 36 Lowell ' s late period rally was not enough to cut short Northeastern ' s lead, losing an exciting contest by 36 to 27. Textile lost one of its most brilliant forwards in Joe Doukszewicz, who had been sidelined tor the rest of the season due to a nose injury. His loss will be keenly felt by the whole team. Vic Storey got into action at center, despite an attack of the grippe, and tallied 7 points to be Textile ' s high scorer, with Lou Bassett just trailing with 6 points. 92 ._ _ THE 1937 PICKOUT — TEXTILE 12— SPRINGFIELD 56 According to the results, the less said about this game the better it will be all around. However, a few words must be told to summarize it. The following facts made this game unusual : First: Only two baskets were made from the floor for Textile, both made by the same player, a substitute, John Hackett. Second: Textile was held scoreless for the ent ire second half. Third: Roy Nuttal, a Springfield forward, helped our cause by tossing a basket for Lowell. Fourth: Instead of the usual 10 players taking part in the game, the whole sum of 25 entered the fray, 12 for Springfield and 13 for Lowell. Lucky George Shea wasn ' t there or Rusty might have played him. Fifth: And last, but surely not least, Springfield nearly scored five points for every one of ours. TEXTILE 34— AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL 35 Lacking the power and drive that was necessary in an overtime period, Textile lost a close one to A. I. C. in Springfield by the score of 35 to 34. Textile completely out-played their rivals in the first half but slowly gave way during the fourth period. With three minutes left to play, A. I. C. overtook Lowell but, with one second left to play, and with the Internats leading by one point, an A. I. C. player fouled Bassett who knotted the count at 32 all, forcing an overtime game. In the extra period Dave Freedman ' s basket went for naught as a basket from the flo r, and a ioul try won the game for the Internats. TEXTILE 32— ALUMNI 25 Not in the least bit discouraged by a pair of setbacks in Springfield, the Textile boys went after and captured the scalps of the Textile daddies. ' ' The game was played on the Textile court. Many recent Textile stars returned to play for the Alumni, among them the following: Jerry Savard, Eddie Allard, Julie and Washy Jarek, Jack Parker, and Joe Hardman. Rusty Yarnall himself played for a while with the Alumni. Although the varsity took the measure of the grandpaps, a word should be said in their de- fense. It was the first time that they, as a group, played together and also, considera- tion must be taken for the fact that none of them were in condition for such a strenu- ous game. Lou Bassett was high scorer for the Varsity, while Jerry Savard starred for the Alumni. 93 „ THE 1937 PICKOUT — TEXTILE 33— ST. ANSELM ' S 32 Playing by far the best game of the season, Lowell squeezed out a 33-32 victory from St. Anselm ' s College. Rusty had raised his boys to fever heat over this game, calling it the objective game ' ' of the year. The papers helped in no little manner to urge the boys to fight. This game had one of the most exciting finishes ever seen by your correspondent. With about one minute to play, George Gianaris tied the game at 32 all. Then, with five seconds remaining before the final gun, a technical foul was called on Bud Connerton and the ball was handed to Lou Bassett, Textile ' s captain. A basket would win the game; a miss would send the game into an overtime period. Lou calmly took the ball, stepped up to the foul line and, without any hesitation at all, dropped the ball cleanly through the net, the ball not even touching the rim. Hats off to you, Lou, as one who comes through in a pinch! TEXTILE 23— ASSUMPTION 36 Displaying the finest basketball of the season, Assumption College avenged an earlier setback by downing Textile 36-23. Lowell started off to an early lead at 8 to 3 but could not hold it. They soon were trailing at 20 to 11. From then on the scoring was even with Assumption win- ning 36 to 23. Frechette of Assumption was high scorer with 16 points, while Lou Bassett cornered 11 points for Textile. TEXTILE 38— M. I. T. 35 Textile may have had just a mediocre season but we surely put on one of the neatest rallies seen this year when our boys overcame a nine-point deficit in the last ten minutes of play and defeated the M. I. T. basketball team 38 to 35. George Gianaris was the star of the game for Lowell. He sank 5 floor shots, one of which sent Textile ahead 36 to 35. Then, with 30 seconds left to play, Charlie Kelakos scored another to put the game on ice. In the first ten minutes of play, Textile was leading 15 to 5. However, this was scon tied and overcome. During the rally late in the fourth quarter, Textile scored three baskets inside of one minute. 94 Student Athletic Association STUDENT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Back Roiv: Grinnell, Greene, Pelt, Reed, Buckley.

The Lowell Textile Engineering Society was founded to promote among the students in the engineering courses at L.T.I. , a general incentive to further the in- terests of textile manufacturing. The Society plans trips to points of interest in order to acquaint the students with the methods of engineering as practiced in some of our up-to-date engineering establishments. The Society has as its members all the undergraduates who are taking Course VI regardless of the option. In this way, it is hoped that interest can be instilled in the minds of the students as early as possible. The officers are as follows: Milton Hindle Faculty Adviser William Daly President Thomas N.

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 Presi- dent ' 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 r c 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. 116 THE 1937 PICKOUT Tau Epsilon Sigma LOUIS L.

Once again Billy Murphy and his Royal Arcadians furnished the music and entertainment for the annual Textile Ball which immediately followed the show. The dancing continued until two o ' clock, when the merrymakers departed, ostensibly for home. 127 p o - 45 3 b o c ■ 2 03 en B rv, nj w M w.s ..

In the evening the fraternity members and guests attended the play Murray Hill, put on by the Textile Players, and concluded the evening by dancing to Billy Murphy and his orchestra. The following afternoon was spent by some in attendance at the Harvard Graduates-Textile baseball game, while others visited Benson ' s Animal Farm. At 6:30 in the evening, dinner was served at the Nashua Country Club when each young lady was presented with a favor bearing the fraternity seal. Dancing lasted until 1:00 A.M. Thirty-four couples, including alumni and friends, were in attendance. Many expressions of enjoyment indicated the success of the party. The fraternity is indebted to brother Alden and Mrs. Gifford and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pollard, Jr., for so ably chaperoning the entire party. A vote of thanks is due the house party committee of Brothers Churchill, Hadley, and Reed for the fine arrangements. OMICRON PI ALUMNI BANQUET The annual alumni banquet was held following the activities of Alumni Day at the Institute. About sixty members were in attendance. Old times were brought back to life and a true 0. Pi spirit filled the house. Arrangements for the banquet were made by the committee consisting of Kaiser, Wilkinson, and Gould. OMICRON PI FALL FORMAL On the evening of November 7 the Fall Formal of Omicron Pi was held at the Vesper Country Club in Lowell. Music was furnished by Al Dwyer and his orchestra from New York. Some twenty-eight couples attended. The fraternity is indebted to the committee of Wilkinson and Wright for the arrangements. 130 THE 1937 PICKOUT  — OMICRON PI FRESHMAN SMOKER Omicron Pi held its annual Freshman smoker on November 12. Freshmen and Faculty members were welcomed by Archon Wilkinson. The speakers of the evening were President Eames and brother Royal P. White. Following the speakers, the ever welcome Frank Lane, who has entertained at 0. Pi smokers for ten years, amply filled two hours with jokes and all sorts of magic. A light repast was served in the dining hall. The evening was concluded with songs and games. The credit for the arrangements is due Brothers Wagner, Wilkinson, and Wright. OMICRON PI FRESHMAN BANQUET The annual Freshman banquet of Omicron Pi was held Thursday evening, November 23. The banquet was served by Lydon Catering Company. The large number of pledges almost necessitated the seating of some of the members on the front porch. Toastmaster Reed introduced Archon Wilkinson, who introduced the speakers consisting of Mr. Churchill, Professor Beattie, Doctor Chapin, and Professor Judd. The remainder of the evening was spent singing O. Pi songs and playing pool and ping-pong. The fraternity is indebted to Brothers Wagner and Wilkinson for the splendid time. OMICRON PI FALL PARTIES Following the Fall River Textile and Lowell Textile basketball game on Satur- day evening. January 9, a small party was held with refreshments and dancing. On the evening of January 16th another small get-together party was held at the house. Music was furnished by Bob Fyfe and his orchestra. The fraternity is indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Fox and friends for chaperoning. Following the game with Arnold on February 5th the third get-together party of the year was held; Bob Fyfe ' s orchestra again furnished the music. All three parties were arranged for by Herb Wilkinson. Games and dancing concluded the festivities. 131 THE 1937 PICKOUT - DELTA KAPPA PHI ALUMNI BANQUET The annual banquet of the Alumni of the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity was held following the Lowell Textile-Harvard Grads baseball game. After Textile ' s defeat the Alumni were in a great mood and vent their ire on Sweet Adeline and other popular ballads. The banquet was served at six o ' clock and after a hearty repast the raconteurs went to town as split infinitives and dangling participles rent the smoke filled air. Each alumnus had to do his bit in the way of entertainment and the performances given would have made David Belasco turn over in his grave. The members of the graduating class of 1936, who were the guests of the fraternity, also had to do their bit. Arrangements were in charge of Robert Lyle and Francis X. Nerney. DELTA KAPPA PHI REUNION On September 20, 1936, the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity celebrated the reunion of the undergraduate members of the fraternity and the reopening of the fraternity headquarters in the Howe Building with an informal parly. The party followed a general business meeting. The entertainment was in charge of Brother Spanos, while the refreshments were in charge of Brothers Qualey and McMahon. DELTA KAPPA PHI FRESHMAN PARTY On Friday evening of November 6, 1936, the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity acted as host to a group of Freshmen at the fraternity rooms. All present took part in the entertainment and games which were in charge of Joe Mahoney and Jim Lyons. Refreshments were served by Brother Kiernan. DELTA KAPPA PHI FRESHMAN BANQUET Saturday, November 14, 1936, the Delia Kappa Phi Fraternity held a banquet for a selected group of Freshmen at Page ' s Restaurant. After-dinner speeches were taboo and following the enjoyable repast the group adjourned to the fraternity rooms where entertainment was provided. Later in the evening bowling teams were formed and a hotly contested match was held at the Rex with many of the Freshmen showing exceptional skill in the art of bowling. The details of the affair were taken care of by Brothers Lyle and Nerney. 132 THE 1937 PICKOUT DELTA KAPPA PHI PLEDGEES BANQUET The Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity held its annual banquet for pledgees on No- vember 20, 1936, at the fraternity rooms in the Howe Building on Kearney Square. All the fraternity members and some members of the Alumni were on hand to wel- come them into the fold. All present were required to contribute a few words to- wards the evening ' s entertainment. The successful event was due to the careful planning of Brothers Sood and Harpoot. DELTA KAPPA PHI INITIATION BANQUET On December 15, 1936, the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity held a banquet follow- ing the conferring of the third degree to its pledgees. This was the high light of the fraternity ' s social events and was well attended by present members and a large group of the Alumni. Good cheer and fellowship prevailed throughout the evening, with the members of the Alumni contributing very largely to the success of the event. The fraternity is indebted to Brothers Storey and Murphy, who were respon- sible for making the arrangements for the affair. PHI PSI FRESHMAN BANQUET Over forty Freshmen were present at the annual Phi Psi reception and dinner, held at the Chapter House October 28. President Eames of the Institute was presented to the gathering by Gamma ' s President, Mr. Grinnell. Mr. Eames spoke briefly to those assembled and then awarded the Fraternity Cup, which was accepted on behalf of Gamma Chapter by Mr. Grinnell. Eddie Casey, former coach of Harvard football teams and also of the Boston Redskins, was the speaker of the evening and kept everyone ' s interest with his thrill- ing tales of the gridiron, some of which were definitely not lacking in humor. PHI PSI THIRD DEGREE In the Oval Room of the Bradford Hotel, Boston, on January 16, 1937, candi- dates for the Third Degree in Phi Psi Fraternity assembled in the presence of Alumni, the Grand Council members, and active Brothers. The candidates came from Beta Chapter, Delta, and Gamma. Brother Harold Cochrane, who lately succeeded Brother John Grady in the Grand Council Presidency, conferred the degree. It was an event that will long be remembered. 133 THE 1937 PICKOUT Following the serious business, the meeting was adjourned to the main dining room where food and drink were waiting to appease the hunger of all the Brothers. Interruptions were many, but the Insurance Selling Brother from Bennington was the most constant. He should get an audition with the Metropolitan Opera. Everyone left Boston feeling that the evening was a great success. PHI PSI ANNUAL SPRING FORMAL On May 16, 1936, the Red Hill Country Club in Reading, Mass., was the scene of the Phi Psi Annual Spring Formal. Here the active members and alumni were hosts to their lady friends at a banquet and entertainment which will last long in the memories of those in attendance. Headed by Raymond B. Wilson, the committee responsible for the success of this dinner dance included W. Arthur Smith, Jr., Richard Knight, Frederic Ekstrand. and J. Lester Greene. Patrons and patronesses were the four members of the Gamma Alumni Council and their wives; Mr. and Mrs. Roland E. Derby, Mr. and Mrs. Sampson, Mr. and Mrs. Bell, and Mr. and Mrs. Will Brown. PHI PSI PARTIES Gamma adopted the idea of having a party every other Saturday night and to date the committee has been very successful in arranging diversified programs. Monte Carlo nights have held sway; there were scavenger hunts, novelty dances, and holiday dances. The electric phonograph and radio combination proved most effective in coping with the demands of the dancers, because of the complete library of popular recordings now owned by the House. The committee: Clinton J. Read, Frederic L. Ekstrand. J. Lester Greene, Wood- row Foss, Joseph Pelt, Jr., and Frank G. Roux. PHI PSI MISCELLANEOUS Bill Mann ' s airplane.

This convention was the biggest of its kind in the fraternity ' s history. The convention started December 29 with an informal dance in the Colonial Room of the Park Central Hotel. The fraters with their wives, sweethearts, and friends, had an enjoyable time dancing to the music of Eddy Jacobs ' orchestra. The second day of the event was different from the previous conventions. Be- sides the usual meeting, initiation of the new men, and the stag banquet, the com- mittee took advantage of the fact that New York is always New York, but on a holiday week-end it is doubly interesting, and arranged a sight-seeing trip. Even the New Yorkers found it educational and interesting. In addition, the committee also arranged a swimming party in the crystal clear pool of the Park Central, the largest pool in New York. The fraters certainly enjoyed their winter swim. After two days of preliminary events, the formal supper dance on New Year ' s Eve was a fitting climax. This was held in the Park Central ' s Towers Club, which was set aside exclusively for Sigma Omega Psi. The upper floor of the club was arranged in cabaret style, the tables being reserved in sections for the different chapters. The lower floor was set aside as a lounge. The success and good fellowship of this convention will be remembered and talked about for years to come. SIGMA OMEGA PSI SMOKER Eta Chapter of Sigma Omega Psi Fraternity held its annual smoker on Decem- ber 4, 1936, at the Hebrew Community Center. Many of the S. 0. P. alumni were present as well as the entire active Chapter. Sidney Boordetsky, acting as master of ceremonies, welcomed the guests and introduced the speakers of the evening: Moe Lifland and Rabbi Warren. The smoker was a great success and Eta Chapter looks forward to an eventful year in its history. 135 THE 1937 PICKOUT SIGMA OMEGA PSI BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The New England Chapters of Sigma Omega Psi Fraternity staged a tournament as a climax to the basketball season. This tournament took place in the Tufts gym on March 13, 1937. The Chapters of Tufts, Harvard, Boston University, Worcester Tech, and Lowell Textile par- ticipated in the event. A silver cup was awarded the winner. After the final game, a social was held at the Tufts house. Eta Chapter was well represented. FRATERNITY CUP AWARD Phi Psi jumped the gun at the start of the scholastic race for 1936-1937 by having in its possession the Fraternity Cup. The cup is sponsored by Professor James G. Dow of the English Department, and is awarded to the fraternity that has the highest percentage of members on the President ' s List at the end of each semester. If the cup is won by the same fraternity for six consecutive semesters, it becomes the permanent property of that House. 136 THE 1937 PICKOUT Class Social Events UPSTREAM DAY Following a custom which has long been in evidence at L. T. I., the students and faculty of the Institute held their annual get-together on Tuesday, May 5, at Canobie Lake Park, Salem, N. H. The outing, one of the few informal gatherings of students and instructors, has in the past been held at the Martin Luther grounds in Tyngsboro. This year, however, flood damage made the grounds unavailable. In private cars and in a specially chartered bus, the group left the quadrangle about 9 o ' clock and arrived at the park, one hundred strong, shortly after. After some delay, due to forgotten baseball equipment, the day ' s program was begun. In the first scneduled game of the morning, a strong Sophomore team, led by ' ' Tommy Comstock. easily defeated the Freshmen by the score of 10 to 3. The batteries for the Sophomores were Comstock and Lutz, and for the Freshmen, Brantman and Monahan. Meanwhile, spontaneous games of baseball and horseshoes were being organized and enjoyed by the others. In the second game the Sophomores were again victorious, this time in a 10 to shut-out against the Juniors. Shortly after came the call to dinner, and all else was forgotten in the excitement that followed. After dinner came the main attraction of the day — the Senior-Faculty game. In past years the Seniors have always managed somehow to beat the instructors for what they call their only victory in four years. This year, however, even this was denied the hard-playing four-year men. for the pitching of Coach Rusty Yarnall proved too much for them, and the Faculty won 5 to 3. Besides pitching a fine game, Rusty also contributed to his team ' s success by donating two home runs to the cause. As the afternoon shadows began to lengthen, all the teams took part in the several field events which concluded the athletic program for the day. In the relay race the Sophomores again proved themselves the victors of the day by winning a closely contested match over the Freshmen. The Sophomore team was composed of Fox, Fine, Harpoot, and Mahoney, while Gianaris, Cunningham, La Bonte and Winkler ran for the Freshmen. The first year men rallied in the handicap races as Cunningham won the 100- yard dash, Hackett and Labonte placed first in the back-to-back race, and the team of Cunningham and Reed won the three-legged race. A 100-yard big men ' s race was won by Herbert Wilkinson, and a wheelbarrow race by Rosenstein and Welch. The races over, the outers partook of a buffet supper before leaving, as they had come, for Lowell. 137 THE 1937 PICKOUT — FRESHMEN GUESTS AT SMOKER The second of a series of annual smokers was held on September 21, when the members of the Freshman Class were the guests of the Sophomores at the Mt. Pleasant Country Club. The gathering, which was pleasantly informal, was well attended by students and faculty alike. The program opened with the singing of the Alma Mater and several well-known songs, after which President Eames gave an address of welcome to the Class of 1940. Further entertainment was then provided by Frank Madden, professional blackface comedian and performer, and Miss Grace Kirby, monologist. Mr. Madden, for his part of the program, entertained the group by singing, playing, and juggling. Miss Kirby very interestingly portrayed two monologue sketches. In charge of the program was J. Lester Greene, President of the Class of 1938, who acted as master of ceremonies. The songs were led by Herbert W. Wilkinson, Jr., ' 37, and the pianists were Robert C. Fyfe, Henry E. Thomas, and Mr. Russell M. Fox. At the close of the evening refreshments were served, and an informal get- together was enjoyed. Soon after, the group left for home in private cars. SOPHS VICTORIOUS IN FIELD DAY CLASSIC For the second time in as many years, a spirited Sophomore Class defeated the Freshmen in the sixth annual inter-class struggle by a score of 48 x 2 to 45 1 £. As indicated by the score, the meet was closely fought from beginning to end. The program began in the morning with a basketball game, which the Sopho- mores won by a score of 15 to 13. Although it could scarcely be called an exhibition of good basketball, the fellows had plenty of time to work up lots of class spirit in the nip and tuck of the scrimmage, and there were plenty of exciting moments for the fans. For the Freshmen, Pelt and Maslanka carried the brunt of the attack, while Brantman, Winkler, and Storey were outstanding in the Sophomore line-up. Freshmen: Campbell, Wilkinson, Bodfish, Pelt, Maslanka. Sophomores: Storey, Winkler, Banta, Hackett, Brantman. With classes for the afternoon called off, hostilities were resumed on the campus at about 1:30. Although their hopes had been dampened somewhat by the events of the morning, the Frosh turned out en masse, confident that their heavier grid squad would be able to avenge their earlier defeat. As it was, not only their spirits were dampened, but also their persons, and the persons of all those who braved the rain that accompanied the events. 138 THE 1937 PICKOUT As in basketball, the two teams were evenly matched, with the heavy Freshman team countered by the better team play of the Sophs. It looked bad for the Ftosh when the second year men went into a 6-0 lead, but before the half had ended, they had again tied the score, and made it 6-6. Play see-sawed back and forth throughout both halves, but although the Freshmen became increasingly more dangerous as the game progressed, they were unable to do better than the one touchdown, and the score remained at 6-6. The lineups were as follows: Freshmen: Balas. Beltramini, Chapman, Currier, Pelt, Bodfish, Haas, McCord. Finn. Sweatt, Wilkinson. Sophomores: E. Reed, Spevack, Steinberg, Ekstrand, Hackett, Foss, Brantman. Banta, Marsden, Storey, W. Reed. The Freshmen, however, held the upper hand in most of the track events, which were run off in a drizzling rain between the halves. They won easily the tug o ' war, the relay, and the 100-yard dash, while the Sophomores placed first only in the 50-yard dash. A tough break in the form of a dropped baton cost the Sophs their lead in the relay, and George Reed, the Freshman anchor-man, was too much for Burt Winkler to overtake in the last leg. Reed again took the spotlight by capturing the 100-yard dash. 50-yard dash: first, Winkler, Sophomore: second, Comins, Sophomore; third. Jones. Freshman. 100-yard dash: first, Reed, Freshman: second, Winkler, Sophomore; third, Dick, Sophomore. Relay teams: Freshmen — Jones, Zehntbauer, Currier, Reed; Sophomores — - Cunningham, Dick, Comins. Winkler. The festivities were climaxed by a Freshman-Sophomore dance at the Mount Pleasant Country Club. J. Lester Greene, president of the Sophomore Class, was in charge of the affair, and more than thirty couples danced from 9 to 12 o ' clock to the music of Dick Palmer ' s orchestra. 139 .__ THE 193 7 PICKOUT SPORTS DANCE When the last strains of the orchestra had died away, and the forty-odd couples had departed, it was unanimously agreed that the First Annual Sports Dance had been both a social and financial success. From 9 until 12:30 o ' clock on the evening of March 12, the students and their lady friends danced to the music of Ray Har- rington ' s orchestra. During the intermission the captains for three of Textile ' s varsity teams were elected: Charles Kelakos as captain of the 1937 basketball quintet; Francis Nerney as leader of this year ' s baseball squad; Clinton Grossman, three year veteran end, as captain of the 1937 football eleven. The patrons and patronesses of the affair included President Charles H. Eames, Mr. and Mrs. Russell M. Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Lester H. Cushing, and Mr. and Mrs. Waldo W. Yarnall. It was originally intended that the team letters would be given out at this time, but due to an unforeseen delay this procedure could not be followed. 140 _ THE 1937 PICKOUT - WHAT PRICE FIFTEEN DOLLARS? There has heen much controversy concerning the Athletic Fee of fifteen dollars required of each student upon his entrance to the Institute each fall. It ' s high time that something should be done to settle that question. So it is the goal of this article to approach the situation both from the murmuring students ' and the Athletic As- sociation ' s point of view, and, as a Textile man might say, Carbonize out the shives and get to the Virgin wool in order to ascertain the more logical argument. First, let ' s look through the student ' s eye and then speak through his mouth. Why, he may ask, am I required to lay down fifteen dollars the value of which I never materially realize? Economically this inquiry is sound. Others have not begrudged the A. A. some money, but think fifteen dollars an unreasonable amount for anything so intangible. In harmony with this thought, others have argued that a certain amount of this fee be contributed to The Text, The Pickout, and Upstream day. Then there are other students who realize that no association can run without capital so do not mind paying an amount representative of a few nights ' spree for anything so worthy as athletics. Finally, there is the narrow-minded individual who thinks sports should be abolished altogether in order that he might retain his coveted fifteen dollars. Hmm, a trifle tight, we ' d say. Now, let ' s imagine ourselves as Director of Athletics. It is our earnest desire and eternal endeavor to make ends meet and yet turn out Athletics representative of edu- cational institutes of our own size. Talk about our own puny, personal problems! There are such problems as the coach ' s salary, balancin g home and foreign guaran- tees, maintaining the teams adequately equipped, expenses of officials, advertisement and numerous other incidental expenses which in the long run amount to much more than chicken feed. And to crown it all there is the problem of decreasing gate receipts. At present, the burden representing the coach ' s salary has been slightly lightened due to the State ' s appointing Rusty ' ' as a full-fledged instructor. At last, dawn surely seems to be breaking! Back expenses are being paid, new equipment is being bought, and athle ics in general look much more pleasant. To be deprived of the athletic fees at this point of the struggle is surely very disheartening to the Ath- letic Director. Well, what price fifteen dollars? Let ' s stop painting the feathers of fact with the fun of fancy. To boil the arguments down would present a picture something simi- lar to the following sketch. First, let ' s attack the students. On this side it seems to be a combination of so-called pinch-pennies, publication supporters, and insufficient- ly informed ballyhoo artists. True, to support all school activities or publications is a worthy, righteous goal but why scar one activity to give another a boost. The 141 — THE 1937 PICKOUT « Text and The Pickout do need our collective support, most decidedly, but why knock out a prop from the Athletic Association in order to bolster up what should be self- supporting activities? If the true spirit were present a subscription to the two afore- mentioned publications should come spontaneously. Now on the other side, it ' s a case of either out of the difficulties or remain in the red. ' 1 The choice hardly seems debatable. Hence, an attempted neutral survey might bring forth the following resolu- tions:- 1 — Support the publications in the Institute by paying their comparatively small subscriptions. 2 — Support the Athletic Association by paying the required fee without whim- pering. 3 — Back up your school activities but don ' t sacrifice one for the sake of another. 4 — Remember that any institute is benefitted by concentrated effort in the correct direction. 142 GRINDS Av tev rL H w -Bob T e i Tedi( ANO .SOME.

The plural of box we all know is boxes. Yet the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes. A goose is a goose, but two are called geese, But why isn ' t more than one moose quoted meese? A mouse and his family are mentioned as mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hice. The plural of brother is brothers or brethren, And yet we say mothers, but never say methren. The plural of man? The answer is men. The plural of pan? Who ' d dare to say pen? If more than one tooth we designate teeth, Then why isn ' t more than one booth termed as beeth? If one thing is that and three things are those, Then why do we swear at the cats and not cose? A cow in the plural is sometimes the kine, But who ever spoke about two vows as vine? You can readily double a foot and have feet, But try as you might, you can ' t make root reet. If this in my hand were two, ' twould be these, And yet is the plural of kiss ever kese? We classify pronouns as he, his and him, But never, its certain, as she, shis and shim. 148 THE 1937 PICKOUT - George Sweeps the floors. Broom after broom Dies in his hands, Yet George cannot die!

Ages rapidly. 149 THE 1937 PICKOUT ... As the Birdie saw it Who was the Freshman with glasses on that dropped his stomach when told to lower his head? Tough break when honorable photographer called Miss Foote a Freshman! Then again, Lucy Robbins was mistaken for Miss Foote. Poor King Grinnell without a coat had to wear Herb Wilkinson ' s coat with an O. Pi pin on it. Cute Junior Class! All seemed as though a heavy bender had been in progress the night before — more truth than poetry — . According to the photographer, George Wright belongs on a toothpaste ad. It was finally found out why Ken Fox wanted to be in the back row of pictures — he came to school sans garters for his socks. My how Ed Wells likes to comb his hair — his fingers being a correct degree of fineness. Especially noticed — Milt Hindle has the particular property of a rabbit twitching nose. Casanova Edlund — Wow! The Spanish in Eileen O ' Donoghue made her wear a Scotch plaid. Harold Reed had his kiss-me look with him. Yeah-man Kennedy wears his spats — reason unknown. Either he hasn ' t any stockings or he thinks he is the head of the Finishing Department. Where does Banta get his desire for red ties? Bad sign when you have a red upperdip, F. E. 150 .. THE 1937 PICKOUT . Bits Garcia and Fleming were working together in a mill up in Maine last summer. On several occasions Lorenzo had rabbit for dinner, and shared it with his work-mate. One day Johnny asked: Where do you get rabbits, Garcia? I can ' t find any. My girl, she get ' urn, Garcia replied. Every night they come ' round her house and make noise. She shoot ' um. Noise? Rabbits don ' t make noise. Sure, asserted Garcia, positively. Go, ' Meow, meow. ' ' Eileen claims that a girl may not care anything about politics, but she ' s apt to be interested in some good party men. Banta: Prof, I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your lecture last night — I certainly did. Prof. Judd: Thanks, but I thought you had a date over at your girl ' s house. Banta: I did — her parents went to hear you. Pa Reed: You were out very late last night with this car. Did you have a flat tire? Bill Reed: No, if she had been I would have been home real early. Lucy says that most girls don ' t worry about their family tree, if they can get some sap to fall for their limbs. Dot: Freddie ' s mustache makes me laugh. Pauline: Tickled me, too. W. G. CHACE: What is the most outstanding contribution that chemistry has given to the world?

A censor is a lovely man — I know you think so too, He sees three meanings in a joke — When there are only two. Stew Bone, the modern stenographer, was recently hit by a bullet in a hold-up. Thinking he was mortally wounded he whispered to a friend, Write to Peggy. Give her my love and tell her my last thoughts were of her. Carbon copies to Eleanor, Clare, and Pauline. Free Wilkinson claims that when writing love letters to your girl, it ' s always an act of precaution to begin, My dear Sweetheart and Gentlemen of the Jury. Feet Wagner: What is the most dangerous part of an automobile? Harriet: The nut that holds the wheel. As for the Editor — Nuts also! 152 THE 1937 PICKOUT Class Legacy We. the Class of 1937. do hereby bequeath to the following individuals, whether they like it or not, some of the finer and also some of the shadier things that we have experienced here at the Institute during our brief, sane, and sober moments, as well as during our lighter moments: To the Class of 1938, the privilege of conducting themselves as Seniors follow- ing the example and standard as set forth by the Class of 1937.

K-A ELECTRICAL WARP STOP— Is being installed by leading weavers of Rayon, Silk, Cotton, Worsted, Pile Fabric and Jacquard fabrics: Because K-A is unexcelled in serving fine, delicate weaves in de- pendability, efficiency, simplicity and low cost of maintenance. K-A is acknowledged to be the essence of warp stop dependability and endurance. Representative milJs buy K-A for modern X: XK: KL: C: C4: S3: S4: W2: W3 and other looms just as they bought K-A for predecessors of such looms: Some keep predecessor looms, discard the old warp stops and re-equip them with K-A. Users of K-A buy new looms and transfer their K-A from the old looms to the new — such is the enduring, permanent investment value of K-A. ASK THE MILLS THAT USE K-A R. I.

Thus, 1937, finds the Geigy Organization one hundred and seventy-three 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.
