Scannell was born in Lowell, Massachu- setts, November 2, 1890.. He received his early education at the Morey Grammar School and the Lowell High School, entered the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, and obtained his degree of B.S. in the Depart- ment of Mechanical Engineering in 19 14. His first posi- tion was in the employ of the Scannell Boiler Works and after serving in all departments of the company, he be- came General Manager and Treasurer which position he now holds. In 1930, in collaboration with his brothers he organized the Lowell Iron and Steel Company and now holds the office of Treasurer of that concern. He is a member of the Lowell Lodge of Elks, Cham- ber of Commerce, M.I.T. Alumni Association, and St. Margaret ' s Holy Name Society. In the construction of the new chemistry building at the Institute he holds the position of chairman of the committee. He is also chair- man of the Board of Directors for the Lowell Textile Institute. Mr. Scannell, his wife, and six children make their home in Lowell, Mass. FOREWORD The Senior Class of the Lowell Textile Institute takes pleasure in presenting the thirty-third edition of The Pickout with aspirations that it will suitably present the his- tory of the classes and affiliated so- cieties — not as a finished work of literature, but as a means of keeping alive the years spent in undergradu- ate study.

He sees in the coordination of stock, yarn, weave, color, and finish, the desired impression of the composite whole. Furthermore, he realizes that all fabrics are not woven for one and the same purpose and that the relative importance of each factor depends upon the specific use to which it is to be put. Perhaps it is the harmony of colors reflected from the impinging rays of the light of the world; perhaps it is the strength to withstand the stresses and the strains of undetermined forces; or perhaps it is the quality of being displayed and tested without becoming dulled by the ab- rasion of rougher elements — for whatever the requirement, each factor must serve its purpose well. Thus, may the fabric made from the data and the specifications of the 1938 Pickout fulfill its purpose and become a part of life ' s library within the books of which are recorded the designs of the alumni of the Lowell Textile Institute. 1 V t W , CHARLES H.

Frederic Wagner, Jr. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative to the Executive Council 30 SENIOR 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 of amazement by Miss Foote, after which 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 Presi- dent Eames and Mr. Royal P. White. The first important foothold gained by the class consisted of trouncing the Sopho- mores 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. i935-!93 6 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. 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 furore, 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; Represen- tative to the Executive Council, James Lyons. 31 i93 6 -!937 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-Presi- dent; Joseph Mahoney, Treasurer; Anita Dori, Secretary. 1937-1938 We were now proud Seniors and though we paraded about with an air becoming to such a dignified class, it was with deep regret that we watched the year quickly ebbing away. For we look 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 com- mencement, beyond which 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 deeper and wider understanding of life than when we entered. The class was kept quite busy during the year. Commencement tasks, added to class work, kept the majority of students on the go continually. Although besieged with much work, the class was well represented at the Textile Show and Upstream Day. 32 IBRAHIM ZEKI AGAR B.Sc. Tech., University of Manchester Istanbul, Turkey on L.T.I.

Winkler Jackson Brantman President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative to the Executive Council 5° JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 1935--193 6 On September 9, 1935 our class made its first entrance to the Lowell Textile Institute. After receiving our identification pins at the information desk, we next stopped at Room 361. Our adviser, Professor James G. Dow gave a short and pleasant welcome speech along with a few helpful hints. Then followed a recording of our life histories, and an entrance into Rogues ' Gallery. An introduction to our professors and instructors followed by the purchase of supplies at the Coop rounded out the first day. Our first bit of social life was experienced during a smoker September 25, 1935. This presented a means of meeting the upper classmen. Class elections were held October 14, 1935. The winners of the election follow: J. Lester Greene, President; Stuart A. Bone, Vice-President; Helen J. Jarek, Secretary; Burton C. Winkler, Treasurer; H. Russell Cunningham, Representative to Executive Council. The first important step taken by the class was Field Day, October 30, 1935. Although the contests were won by the Sophomores, they have to admit that the competition was stiff and we have many promising athletes in our midst. To prove ourselves socially fit, we held a Freshman Christmas Dance on De- cember 18, 1935. Under the guidance of the Social Committee and the untiring effort of our adviser, we may say this occasion was a great success. Many comments were made upon the originality of the decorations. !936-i937 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 meet- ing, we decided that due to the amazing number of Freshmen we would have a short, snappy initiation. The second night of school we ran a most successful smoker in honor of the Fresh- man 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. 1937-1938 Our unlimited originality which has made our class distinctive entered along with our ever increasing intelligent minds, for our third year at Lowell Textile Institute. We were slightly diminished in size but made up for it in spirit. 5 ' We elected at the end of our junior year, the following class officers to reign over our third year at our Alma Mater: J. Lester Greene, who has two terms of office as President preceding him; Bert Winkler, also our Treasurer for the two preceding years; Frederic Ekstrand a new and able Vice-President; Richard Comins, our new Secretary, a job for which he fought a fiery campaign. Our first class meeting of the new year was held on September 27, 1937. The object of this meeting being to plan a dance. The last Friday of October was set as the date with the rest of the arrangements left to a committee appointed by the President. The committee chosen was: Phyllis Baker, Ted Fox, Jack Brantman, Freddy Eks- trand, and Sammy Levin. Without a doubt this was one of the most successful social functions held at the school in years. To show our originality, we proved that the students were willing to pay more if they had a decent orchestra. We revolutionized the place by having Gene Denis and his famous band. Southwick Hall was in its best bib and tucker with pre- dominating Hallowe ' en colors. Souvenir hunters were out and there were no decora- tions left after the Dance. This was a dance of the student ' s order and we will prove it by running a similar but bigger and better one our Senior year. With our hardest year ahead of us, we didn ' t find much time for social events and class meetings. But we returned to the front with a second class meeting on February 17, 1938. At this meeting plans for another dance were vetoed in favor of supporting the school events already marked on the school calendar. The question of jackets arose and is to be settled definitely at the next meeting. Three years are gone — just think, next year we ' re really Seniors and we will come back and show ' em some more next year! 52 1939 CLASS ROLL Name Course Baker, Phyllis Jeanne VI Banta, John Garrett VI Beauregard.

Wiesner Louise Fox Charles A. Merritt President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Representative to the Executive Council 56 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY i 936-1937 On Thursday, September 1 7, 1936, the Class of 1940 made its first none too grace- ful entrance into the Lowell Textile Institute. We were welcomed by Professor James G. Dow, the Freshman Class Adviser, by Miss Ruth Foote with her brilliant array of cards to be filled out, by Mr. Chace with his color blind test, by the examination of our bodies, and by the portrayal of our maps through the camera. With the help of friendly (?) police car search-lights from the bridge, we painted a gigantic 40 on the canal wall where it may be seen for many a year. Our class was well represented in athletics. Rudy Meuser starred on the football team, although we remember that he lost his pants in the Brooklyn game. For the first time in Textile ' s history, there were organized a Freshman basketball and rifle team. A Christmas Dance, held on December 10, 1936 was sponsored by the class and was declared to be a social and a financial success. The few who were exempt from all the examinations had two extra weeks of va- cation, but everyone finished the year looking forward to the next year when all would advance one step and become upperclassmen. The election of officers gave the following results: President, Fred Balas; Vice- President, Rudy Meuser; Secretary, Frank Roux; Treasurer, Larry Aigen; Represen- tative to the Executive Council, Joseph Pelt. !937-i93 8 On our return from summer vacation, we found that the many members of a huge Freshman Class had registered and were wandering around looking rather superior because of their numbers. The result was: line-ups in front of the school every morning to welcome the faculty and the upperclassmen as they arrived; snake-dances down to City Hall, where speeches were made to the Mayor (presumably), and to the public in general. The president of the Locks and Canals, after seeing our colossal 40 shining through the mists of the Merrimack River, put his foot down and said no more num- erals on his canal wall. So, although the Freshmen painted their numerals on the rocks below the bridge, a few strokes of paint by our class soon changed the 41 to a 40 and our glory stood fast. That is — until Field Day! Nevertheless, congratulations to them for their class spirit and athletic ability. The record of the class is outstanding scholastically and athletically and it is our hope to maintain this high standing even improving it during our final years at Textile. 57 C 3 C 3 u w o o a Oh O C 3 a o C 3 CI 1) o o s-T s M o o t) = g e v o S u a o 03 OS v V qj fe N £P -3 oj ; u V c - 3 £°| ■ fig o v a %.$ Oh £ „ be 3 3 S-T r3 S -3 oa 3 O „ - « c M O O J2 O V m £ 03 -a o o O a 3 u j C 3 C a as X x o [3H 03 u Ph 3 3 g-a u u V o aj 03 V c 3 3 3 o a. 1940 CLASS ROLL Name Aigen, Lawrence Balas, Fred Frank Bauer, Frank Norbert Beltramini, Kenneth Charles Brooks, Raymond King- Bullock, Merlen Clarke Campbell, Andrew Morris Chapman.

Phillips President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative to the Executive Council 62 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY 1937-1938 On Thursday, September 16, 1937, the Class of ' 41 made its appearance in the halls of the Lowell Textile Institute. The two-day orientation period was under the direction of Professor James G. Dow. After being welcomed by President Charles H. Eames, we were introduced to Miss Ruth Foote, Registrar, who kept us busy filling out cards of various hues. Most of the class made a good start by passing the color-blind test and the physical examination after which came the poses for the camera. Joseph Pelt, Jr. nervously chewing a piece of spearment, read a long list of fresh- man rules which we were to follow (for the nominal sum of two dollars). He threaten- ingly implied that it was a long walk back from Nashua if we had any rules of our own. On the 29th of September the freshman class joined with the other classes for the first College Banquet at Textile. At 6.30 P.M., a banquet was served in Southwick Hall after which a most enjoyable entertainment was given by the Rich Entertain- ment Service of Boston. Although the Sophomores were successful in making the Freshman Class wear black shirts and red ties, this requirement was immediately discarded after the Field Day events in which the freshmen carried off the highest honors. A high-light of the football game came when the freshmen undressed Rudy Meuser while in the middle of one of his reverse plays. Because of its individuality the class of ' 41 was not content to have its numerals at the bottom of the river. One fine morning the bewildered Sophomores found a large red and black 41 in the shadow of the archway. (Fine work, boys!) The new crop of freshmen brought with them the vigor that the teams of the Institute lacked. Several freshmen made the football and basketball teams. Textile has a new outlook on sports with such outstanding players as: Pop Roberts, Mac Mackle, Frank Seigler, Dave Pernick, Mickey Gass, and Abe Grondin. The election of officers took place the last week in October. The following were elected to lead the class in its first year at the Institute: President, Frederick R. Mason of Glendale, R. I.; Vice-President, Francis A. Murphy of Brookline, Secretary, Joan M. Biron of Lowell; Treasurer, Gordon S. Leary of Lowell, and Representative to the Executive Council, Maurice G. Phillips of Southbridge. The Class of ' 41 has made a good start and may it continue to be as successful in the years to come. 63 1941 CLASS ROLL Name Adie, Donald Miles Alexander, Gerard Atwell, Ralph Gilmore Baker, Ernest Porl Bardzik, Thaddeus Batcheller, Ben Pitman Biron, Joan Marguerite Brown, Needham Ballou, Jr. Buzidragis, Joseph Francis Campbell, John Duncan Caraganis, Nicholas Lewis Carmichael, Robert Dana Casavant, Kenneth Arthur Condon, John Andrew, Jr. Cordeau, Georges Edward Curtin, Thomas Emmet Demitropoulos, Andrew Peter Dubrule, Louis Joseph Epstein, Edward Joseph Finard, Saunder Finn, Charles Anthony Finn, Joseph Frances Flood, Edward Robert Fortier, George Charles Gari, Jose Via Garnett, Stanley Arthur Garrity, Edward Leo Gass, Matthew Gatzimos, Aristophanes Gelinas, Lionel Aime Ginivan, William Francis Greenbaum, Bernard Saul Grondin, Abraham Hector Guilfoyle, Donald William Halaby, William Edwin Hamilton, Arthur Theodore Higginbottom, George Stephen Hobson, Edward Shackford Inkpen, Norman Alfred James, Ernest Peter Jay, Joshua Daniel Joyce, Herbert Milton Keizer, Mi riam Eleen Kennedy, John Francis Koulas, Stanley Charles Landfield, Hare Id Lane, Jcseph James, II Lannon, John Francis.

The first is Sports Night at which time varsity letters are presented and captains of the various sports are elected.

Many injuries, lack of reserve power, and lack of seasoned ma- terial again cost Rusty ' s Red Devils the margin of victory. The work of several of the players can ' t be overlooked in the review of the sched- ule. Capt. Grossman and Mackle provided two very capable men and the work of Pelt and Allaire on the defense was a sight to gladden the heart of any college coach. Meuser and Cunningham augmented by Wilkinson in the last few games provided a capable backfield but, here again, the lack of reserve power cut deeply in to the offen- sive effectiveness of the team. 1938 SCHEDULE September October 24 1 New Hampshire at Durham Panzer at Lowell 8 New Britain Teachers at New Britain 15 Northeastern at Boston 22 Arnold at Lowell 29 C.C.N.Y. at New York November 5 Norwich at Norwich 1 1 A.

However, he moulded together a fairly successful combination which upheld the name of Textile in no uncertain manner. Although our boys won but five games out of the total of twenty-one, they put many a scare into the enemy camp. This was true in the Providence game as Textile was leading at the half. Of the five games won, two were outstanding tributes to the calibre of our team. The first of these two was the victory over the highly-touted Assumption team by the score of 32 to 26. The second upset that our boys pulled was a decisive verdict over the St. Anselm ' s team to the tune of 39 to 35. The Freshman Class proved to have among its fold many fine players, three of whom made a fine impression. These three, Gass, Pernick, and Pop Roberts, should prove to be an outstanding trio combination for future seasons.

The affair was well attended and proved to be a tan- gible bond between the brothers who were out in the business world and the present members of the active chapter. Entertainment by a magician, general singing, and tentative plans for the future completed a well-rounded evening and one to be re- membered by all who attended. The annual House Party was held at the Andover Country Club during the week-end of April 2. This event culminated the annual Text Show, baseball game at the Institute, bridge parties, and movie visits. The evening was spent by partaking of a seven-thirty dinner, and dancing to the music of Ray Harrington and his orchestra. The entire party is greatly indebted to Mr. and Mrs. William Chace and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wilkie who acted as chaperons and also to the committee in charge. The Freshman Smoker was held at the fraternity during the last week of October. Everett Reed, master of ceremonies, welcomed the incoming Freshmen and intro- duced the speakers of the evening, Dr. Olney, Dr. Chapin, Mr. Brown, Mr. Chace, and the present Archon, John Fleming. Through this party the incoming, present, and alumni members began their everlasting friendship which is the paramount aim of the fraternity. There were several informal dances held at the fraternity during the year. The first of the series was held in the form of a Scavenger Hunt. Such foolish items as horse hair, policeman ' s whistle and night-stick, and bricks from the oldest building in Lowell provided much fun and real investigation. The second party was an old clothes party held on November ig at the house. This turned out to be one of the gayest and happiest events of the year with much good fellowship prevailing. The third party to date was an informal dance held on December 10. Music was furnished by electrical transcription. The appreciation of the fraternity is extended to John Fleming and his committee for their tireless work in making the party a suc- cess. The tentative plans for the year indicate a few more such informal parties, the primary purpose of which is to provide the much needed social atmosphere that is required for a well-rounded collegiate life. 82 c o pq .= ' u 5 U ( J g 3 ft V Ms Ch en O H PS s- - oq O o £ l§ !

Robbins In 1937, the girls of the Lowell Textile Institute formed a sorority. The initial meeting of the founders was held at the home of one of the girls on the 16th of March at which time a committee was chosen to draw up a consituttion. During the remain- der of this first year, several other meetings were held for the purpose of deciding on the form and contents of the constitution, choosing officers, finding a suitable name, and discussing various problems in an attempt to make the sorority a complete suc- cess. After a period of careful contemplation, the name Phlame was chosen by the founders with hopes that the sorority, like a small flame, will steadily increase in size and character. SORORITY SOCIAL EVENTS PHLAME INITIATION The first formal initiation of the Phlame Sorority was held on the afternoon of December 5 at the Omicron Pi fraternity house. This initiation which included that of the sponsors, the honorary members, and the new regular members, was presided over by President Anita Dori. During the afternoon, tea was also served with Eileen O ' Donoghue pouring. The sorority is grateful to the following for their aid in making the affair a suc- cess: Miss Rosatto, who designed and made a beautiful membership scroll, Alda Cherr, who arranged the corsage bouquets, and the Omicron Pi Fraternity, which graciously gave the use of its house. PHLAME CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 13, a very enjoyable evening was had by the members of the Phlame Sorority at the home of Sister Lucy Robbins who had charge of all arrange- ments. Taffy making provided a great deal of fun and entertainment for all, after which, many Christmas cards were distributed and a joke present was received by each sister. Near the close of the party, refreshments were served by the hostess. 86 SMmLjl i H r ?

The committee in charge was composed of J. Lester Greene, Clinton Read, Frederic Ekstrand, Frank Roux, G. Woodrow Foss, and Joseph Pelt. Most of the members and many of their friends attended and all contributed to its distinct success. This opportunity was made use of to introduce all the incoming officers of the Chapter. PHI PSI NATIONAL CONVENTION The 34th Annual Convention of Phi Psi Fraternity was held at the Spring Moun- tain House in Schwenksville, Pa., under the auspices of Alpha Chapter, and was a very successful convention both from the standpoint of pleasure and organization. Gamma Chapter was represented by Stuart Bone, Burton Winkler, Kenneth Beltramini, and Frank Roux. Gamma Chapter gave the most favorable report of all the active chap- ters. This year the New England Chapters are hosts to the visiting delegates, and a very interesting and enjoyable program is being arranged by the committee. PHI PSI THIRD DEGREE The Third Degree meeting for the New England Chapters was held January 8 at the Miles Standish Hotel in Boston. Members were present from Beta, Gamma, and Delta Chapters. Gamma chapter had 10 pledges present to be received into the fraternity. The meeting was opened by Jack Grady, ex-Grand President, who turned it over to Harold Cochrane, present Grand President. The meeting was followed by a very excellent supper, after which everybody drifted off in groups to various places of amusement. PHI PSI PARTIES Gamma Chapter continued the practice of last year of having a party every other week, and they were all well attended. Music was provided by a combination radio- victrola. Different members were appointed to the committee each time, thus one group was not forced to do all the work. Several stag parties were held and were very successful. The final party last June was a barn party on Alumni Day and it was enjoyed by both alumni and active members. This affair gives the Alumni a chance to get together with old pals again and also to get acquainted with the active members. 90 DELTA KAPPA PHI HOUSE DELTA KAPPA PHI Established in 1902 ACTIVE CHAPTER ROLL Alpha: Philadelphia Textile School Beta: Lowell Textile Institute Gamma: Rhode Island State School of Design Delta: New Bedford Textile School ALUMNI CHAPTER ROLL Boston New York Amsterdam New Bedford Philadelphia Providence DELTA KAPPA PHI OFFICERS H.

A large representative group of D. K. alumni were on hand to meet the student members of the fraternity. Old friendships were renewed and new ones formed. The banquet was served at six o ' clock and the good cheer and fellowship which is typical of these annual reunions prevailed. Follow- ing the repast, speeches and songs were in order and a good time was had by all. DELTA KAPPA PHI REUNION On September 28, 1937 the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity celebrated the reunion of the undergraduate members of the fraternity and the opening of the new fraternity house at 34 Columbus Avenue with an informal party. DELTA KAPPA PHI FRESHMEN SMOKER On Wednesday evening, October 6, 1937 the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity acted as host to a selected group of freshmen at the fraternity house. Consul Murphy acted as Master of Ceremonies and introduced Arthur Lyle, a long time favorite of D. K., who filled two hours with jokes and all sorts of magic. A light repast was served in the dining room, after which the evening was concluded with songs and games. DELTA KAPPA PHI PLEDGEES BANOJJET Delta Kappa Phi held its annual banquet for the pledgees on October 20, 1937 at the fraternity house. A large group of alumni were present in addition to the other fraternity members, to welcome the pledgees into the fold. All present were required to contribute to the evening ' s entertainment. DELTA KAPPA PHI INSTITUTION BANQUET On November 3, 1937 Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity held a banquet following the conferring of the third degree to its pledgees. The year marked a new high in student and alumni interest in the fraternity success for the rush season. Over a score of alumni were on hand to witness the final ceremonies, the success and good fellowship of which will be remembered for years to come. 95 Ed D O K 1—4 PL, O O I— ( C 3 SIGMA OMEGA PSI ROLL OF CHAPTERS Alpha : College of the City of New York Lambda : Beta: Columbia University Mu: Gamma : New York Univ.

This dance, held for the pledges of our fraternity, was an excellent way of introducing the pledges with many of the fraters they had not known. It also served as a means of getting the pledges acquainted with many young ladies. Favors were presented to the young ladies present. The attendance and the general good time proved to the social committee that more affairs could be held successfully if properly planned and executed. SIGMA OMEGA PSI HOUSEWARMING Sigma Omega Psi took a mighty step forward this school year. The coming of summer at the end of our 1936- 193 7 school year did not mean that we were to close the activities of our fraternity until the following fall, but through the work of our High Potentate, Samuel Levin and a committee under him a house was finally settled upon. This house, at 1280 Middlesex street, is the new Sigma Omega Psi home. The housewarming, on December 11, 1937, held in the honor of our new home brought forth many guests. All the New England Chapters were splendidly repre- sented as well as large number of alumni. Dancing kept on until the wee hours of the morning, and there was no doubt as to the social success of this affair. SIGMA OMEGA PSI INTRA-FRATERNITY PARTIES Sigma Omega Psi inaugurated a policy of friendship among the different fra- ternities at the school. It was decided to invite one at a time all three fraternities, to our house, to attend parties in their honor. Phi Psi Fraternity was our guest at the first party in this experiment. Due to the former fraternal isolation, the affair was not too well attended, but in spite of this fact, the dance proved to our social committee that this idea of ours was not a failure. The music furnished by the leading orchestras in the country, was made possible by the use of an electric victrola. The fraternity is indebted to Mr. Edlund, Prof. Dow, and Dr. Goodman for chaperoning. The next affair, on February 5, 1938, was held for Omicron Pi. This dance was more gratifying in its results as a greater number were in attendance. The refresh- ments were so arranged that on each tray of cake and cookies were the words Sigma Omega Psi Welcomes Omicron Pi. The fraternity is indebted to Sidney Bordetsky and to Arthur Freeman for so ably chaperoning the affair. Sigma Omega Psi hopes that this series of parties held for the purpose of making a more friendly relationship among our school fraternities has not been in vain. Sigma Omega Psi still has many proposed affairs before its social committee. These affairs are as follows: an informal dance for the Alumni, a formal house party to be held in April, and many informal house parties. This season so far has been a gala one for Sigma Omega Psi social events. Its accomplishment has been made possible only by the acquisition of a fraternity house and well balanced, hard working committees. 98 ORGANIZATIONS A. A. T. C. C. Back Row: Shore, Mahoney, Kaplan Second Row: Prescott, Olsen, Rowntree, Colby, Levin, Spevack, Lutz Front Row: Getchell, Buckley, Carroll, Ploubides, Dr. Chapin The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists is a national, pro- fessional organization in which Lowell Textile has a student branch. Keeping its members informed on the latest developments in textile chemistry and dyeing by means of periodic papers and a yearbook published by it, membership in this society forms an integral part of the training of future textile chemists. To further acquaint the student with industrial processes and advancements, lecturers are invited to come and address its members on subjects of interest to the tex- tile chemist. This year Mr. Ben Verity of the Carbon Color and Chemical Co. gave a very interesting lecture on indigisols and rapidogens. Several other lectures of a similar nature are being planned. ioo AMERICAN ASSOCIATION TEXTILE CHEMISTS AND COLONISTS m OFFICERS Herman T. Buckley Robert A.

Trips are planned by the Society so that the members may be afforded opportunities to visit and study the operations of such modern and well-equipped textile mills as are conveniently located. This is calculated to evoke in the members a greater interest in the practical problems to which the theories they acquire at school are to be applied. Experience has shown that added incentive in their undergraduate efforts is thereby engendered. 102 THE TEXT Back Row: Currier, Reed, Rashkin, Kelakos, Weil, Garnett, Lyons Second Row: Mintz, Miss Baker, Miss Woodard, Miss Keizer, Miss Rich, Miss Cherr, Haas Front Row: Bullock, Goldstein, Prof. Dow, Ekstrand, Beltramini, Skalkeas The Text tries to record for its readers all the news concerning athletic events, social functions of the classes and fraternities, as well as any items of personal interest that may occur. It is only through the untiring efforts of the staff and adviser, in co-operation with the student body, that this can be done. Those who have chosen to partake of this form of extra-curricular activity hope that their work has been a source of satisfaction and a means of producing a friendlier contact among those at the Institute.

The key, which is the insignia of membership in Lowell ' s honor so- ciety is prized as the highest undergraduate award of merit which the student may attain. To become eligible for candidacy in this honor society, the student, at the begin- ning of the first term of his senior year must have been on the President ' s List for four consecutive terms and his marks as a freshman must be of equal calibre. Should the marks of the student during his first term be below the required calibre, he may be- come a member of the Society at the beginning of the second term of his fourth year, provided he has been on the President ' s List for five consecutive terms and has at- tained marks of equal calibre during the second term of the freshman year. A student may also become a candidate for this society if at the end of the second term of his fourth year he can present evidence that his average for the entire course is 80% or better and that he has not failed in any subject. 104 GRADUATE STUDENTS Back Row: Hall, Ocoma, Stowell Front Row: Lieut.

Consequently, the presidents of the various fraternities met and reorgan- ized the Council for the purpose of mutual advantage for the fraternities and the Lowell Textile Institute. It was commonly agreed that everyone would benefit more fully from extended cooperation and harmony among the fraternities. With this thought in mind, the Council is endeavoring by the promotion of various functions to bring about a more active and harmonious spirit among the several fraternities. BOWLING Inter-Fraternity Bowling was instituted in the athletic program this year and was participated in with keen spirit and interest. The year started off with all fraternities feeling confident but soon it became apparent that the team representing Delta Kappa Phi was the team to beat. Soon, however, Omicron Pi came up strong and, by placing second, got its chance to meet Delta Kappa Phi in the finals for the winner ' s award, a beautiful loving cup. BASKETBALL The annual Inter-Fraternity Basketball Tournament rolled around at just about the time that the bowling tournament was being terminated. The characteristic, keen competition this year was brought out more than ever due to the equality of the teams. The deciding game was played on March 10 and was won by Delta Kappa Phi. A plaque, emblematic of victory, was presented to the winning team. SOFT-BALL A new sport, Soft-Ball, is to be added to the athletic program of the fraternities this year. According to all indications, this sport should prove to be a welcome addi- tion to the Inter-Fraternity Athletics. Soft-Ball will offer more opportunity for partici- pation by the fraternity men and will further the program of clean, enjoyable sport which is characteristic of fraternity games. FORMAL DANCE The Andover Country Club served as the scene for the Inter-Fraternity Dance at school this year. Here Gene Dennis and his orchestra played before the largest and most colorful fraternity social event of the year. In an atmosphere which was resplendent with formal dress and evening gowns, over sixty couples danced to the music of this widely known orchestra. Fraternity banners, attractive dance orders, and beautiful flowers contributed in no little way to the generally colorful setting of this dance. It is hoped that the success of this social event will set a precedent for future cooperative activity by the four fraternities. 109 FIELD DAY On Wednesday, October 27, the Class of 194 1 determined to avenge itself for the indignities that it had suffered. At the same time may it also be noted that the Sopho- more Class was entirely confident of its ability to completely overwhelm the Frosh and to compel them to wear their uniforms until Christmas. However, the end of the day and the close of the contest found the Class of ' 40 sadly trailing by twenty-four points and the Freshman Class entirely free from the yoke of oppression. Hostilities began in the school gym with a basketball game which featured a surprising performance by the Freshmen Five. The game was closely contested but was won by the Freshmen in the last half by a score of 29-16. Although the feeling was still high when the contest was resumed on the campus in the afternoon, the football game was comparatively dull, both sides lacking color. It did feature some well-executed plays by the Sophomores who won 6-0. The touch- down was made in the second quarter by Wilkinson, but the team was unable to con- vert for the extra point. Between the halves of the football game, races were staged. The 100-yard dash was easily won by Frank Siegler, Freshman, who was in the lead from the start. Reed and Lynch took second and third places for the Sophomores. The 220-yard dash was won by Molchen, also a Freshman. There was a spill at the finish line when Siegler and Reed collided, Reed taking second place and Siegler third. The relay also proved a Freshman victory with Inkpen, Koulas, and Tattersall carrying the stick for the winner and Wiesner, Lynch, and Dibble representing the Sophomores. The tug-of-war was also won by the Freshmen, aided by the capable anchoring of Gerry Roberts. The final totaling was as follows: Basketball Football Tug-of-War 1 00- Yard Dash 200-Yard Dash Relay 1940 1 941 — 30 3° — — 10 5 5 3 7 — 10 Totals 38 62 1 10 SOCIALS h u w X H bo g ' 3 c 3 u (h x S ° v: UJ is « 03 k, LOW I II TEXTILE PLAYERS OFFICERS Fred Ekstrand, President • Hubert Murphy, Vice-President Charles Merritt, Secretary Stuart Bone, Business Manager Rudolph Meuser, Stage Manager Prof. Elmer Fickett, Treasurer and Faculty Adviser Prof. Russell Brown, Associate Faculty Adviser Crab Apple, a sparkling and fast-moving comedy written by Theodore W. Packard, was presented by the Lowell Textile Players at the annual show and dance on April 9, 1937, featuring for after-the-show dancing the well-know n Kearney- Kallendar orchestra. The cast, composed of four veterans and three newcomers, included Theodore W. Fox, H. Russell Cunningham, and Frederic L. Ekstrand as muscular wenches of no mean form, and who, needless to say, provoked considerable merriment with their awkward imitations of such feminine activities as sewing, crocheting, and romantic scheming. The presentation of the three-act comedy under the direction of Charles J. Keyes, brought forth Francis X. Nerney, ' 37, in the role of the crab apple paternal tyrant, Mr. Herbert Hunter; Russell Cunningham, ' 39, as his patient wife and mother of George, played by Everett C. Reed, ' 39; and Jim, played by Charles A. Merritt, ' 40. Amy was played by Frederic L. Ekstrand, ' 39; the adopted son, Dr. John, by Safford Sweatt, ' 40; while Theodore Fox, ' 39, appeared as the college bride of Jim Hunter. The scene throughout the play was laid in the living room of the H unter home on the outskirts of Boston. The plot was centered about a concentrated effort on the part of the Hunter children to force Crab Apple, Francis Nerney, to take a vacation, and involved complications in the problems of harmonizing the marriage of Jim and Paddy, bringing about a successful unification of Dr. John and Amy, and gaining greater freedom for the father-ridden George and Mrs. Hunter. The play was full of the witticisms of youth made even more comical by the serious attitude of the players and by means of clever conversational cliches during the unfolding of the plot. 113 c o pa ol J 3 5 oS W ;d S 4J O 3 -£ w U C a C of H 3 £ R S Q5 s; GOOD MORNING -1938 On Friday, April 29, the Lowell Textile Players will present John C. Gibb ' s play, Good Morning, at their annual show and dance at the Rex Auditorium. The plot of this lighthearted and consistently amusing comedy begins to evolve when Johnny Powell, played by Charles A. Merritt, ' 40, returns home to find his apartment looking as though a cyclone had struck it. A peace-loving bachelor, he is beset by Vaudeville actors, angry Latins, and police, while people he never heard of invade and completely upset his hitherto uneventful life. His fiancee abandons him, and he is in imminent danger of losing his job when he meets Phyllis Morgan, an actress, who helps him to solve his difficulties. In Phyllis, played by Theodore W. Fox, ' 39, Johnny finds all the virtues that were lacking in Genevieve, played by William T. Reed, ' 39. It is left, however, to an almost incredibly apologetic soul by the name of Clarence W. Minnie to save the day. Every- thing is thus straightened out, but not before high government officials have become involved. The other feminine roles will be impersonated by H. Russell Cunningham, ' 39, Stanley Ocoma, ' 41, James C. Shore, ' 41, and H. Kendal Dick, ' 39. The supporting cast also includes Francis Qualey, ' 38, Charles G. Kelakos, ' 38, H.James Murphy, ' 39, and Sidney Shapiro, ' 38. Saunders Finard, ' 41 has been select- ed as official stage prompter of the show. The show is under the direction of Coach Charles Keyes, director of many previous productions of the Lowell Textile Players. CAST Mr. Minnie Annie Johnny Powell Nita .... Genevieve T. K. Pillbeam .

This event, which has become one of the Institute ' s most popular traditions, was well attended by a large group of enthusiastic undergraduates. Returning by chartered bus and by private cars to the scene of previous festivities, the outers arrived at the park shortly after ten o ' clock. First on the program came the inter-class baseball games, while those not im- mediately concerned soon wandered off to become engaged in spontaneous games of football, baseball, and horsehoes. Away off in a corner of the park a small group of cribbage addicts huddled about an old wooden table and pursued their peg-jumping hobby without fear of afternoon classes. A few wandered about the park grounds. Still others lost themselves in the movies of the Penny Arcade. The stampede for the pavilion about noon might have caused a casual onlooker to start with alarm, but the more perceptive observer would realize that it was merely a host of hungry men looking for something to eat. But after a preliminary turbulent rush for the tables, undue noise quickly subsided, for the boisterous gang were studiously applying the unrefuted principle that: He who talketh much at dinner loseth the second helping. A hero of a previous grapefruit barrage, Milt Hindle, appeared on the scene adequately prepared for emergencies attired in a baseball mask, invoking a cheer from those who remembered the episode. After the banquet, for such it was, the merry-makers departed from the hall with lagging and lethargic steps, seeking momentarily the cool, shady grass, on which to lie and recover their energies. After a brief respite, however, activity was resumed, and while the inter-class games were continued, a great number wandered down to the skating rink, where the more enthusiastic skaters indulged in mopping the floor, and the more conservative ones confined themselves to running around in circles. By the time the athletic events had been concluded the day was nearly over. The Senior Faculty engagement brought its usual merriment to the underclassmen in the sight of these warring factions struggling for supremacy on the diamond. The afternoon shadows were beginning to lengthen when the whole group par- took somewhat hastily of a buffet supper and departed for Lowell a band of singing, sunburned, and thoroughly satisfied collegians. 116 THE IMIU-limilJMTV SMOKER On September 29, 1937 was inagurated the Lowell Textile Inter-Fraternity Banquet, a custom which bids fair to remain with us for many a year to come. On this evening, the first Inter-Fraternity Smoker was held in honor of the new Freshman class. The entire program was in charge of Professor J. G. Dow, faculty adviser and Professor of English, and Joseph Pelt, President of the Sophomore class. For many years the thought of bringing together all the fraternities, all the mem- bers of the various classes, and the instructing staff had been one of Professor Dow ' s ambitions. However, each year previous to this saw each fraternity giving individual parties to the group that it intended to pledge. This year Professor Do w was deter- mined to try his experiment. He planned a program intended to suit the tastes of everyone who might be present. An excellent dinner was served by the Miller Catering Company of Lowell, and the entertainment was provided by the Rich Entertainment Company of Boston. At the conclusion of the dinner, speeches of welcome were made by President Eames, Professor Dow, Joseph Pelt, who acted as toastmaster, and the presidents of the fra- ternities who helped make the banquet a success. Following the speeches, the program was turned over to the Mistress of Ceremonies, Florence Fleming, who played a few numbers on the accordion, told a few well-received stories and then introduced the main entertainer of the evening, Mr. Harry Bolden, a colored vaudevillian. In spite of his seeming age, Mr. Bolden held his audience for well over an hour and a half with a series of specialties, which ranged from story telling, acrobatics, dramatic recitations to song, and dance. The applause following his performance indicated what sort of an impression he had left upon his audience. Next came a short performance featuring Ralston and Company, artists of legerdemain. At the conclusion of the professional entertainment, the entire student body with Mr. Fox of the Design Department at the piano, joined together in a sort of a community sing which was topped off by the singing of Alma Mater. As to the success of the banquet, there can be no doubt. This experiment which proved such a huge success will next year, and in the years to come, be a permanent institution here at Textile. 7 POPULARITY CONTEST RESULTS The Pickout takes pleasure in announcing the authoritative and correct results of the popularity contest conducted throughout the Institute. The results are of no special significance except that they serve as a guide — a guide that might indicate cer- tain warranted corrections on one hand and, in addition, serve as a forecast of future events.

The bright young pupil looked long and thoughtfully at the second examination question which read: State the number of tons of coal shipped out of the United States in any given year. Then his brow cleared and he wrote: 1492 — none. A blotter is something you spend your time looking for while the ink is drying. Hoellerich: My daughter is going to play Beethoven tonight. C.

Advice to many: — The best way to make a long story short is to walk out on a long-winded story teller. The reason singers have to protect their throats — there are so many people who ' d like to cut them. He who laughs last may laugh best, but he soon gets a reputation for being a dummie. Before I heard the doctors tell The dangers of a kiss I had considered kissing you The nearest thing to bliss.
