73070 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS ?sr o THE PICKOUT 1940 s VOLUME XXXV OF LOWELL TEXTILE INSTITUTE ■ tt I FOREWORD And so we come to the end of another year... to many of us, this end brings down the curtain on one act of our lives, and raises it on another. What lies ahead of us on the road of life — what twists and turns and bends, is not ours to predict. How far we will drift from that place which we will one day realize was the scene of four of the most wonderful and com- plete years of our lives, we cannot say. As each succeeding year inevitably dims the memory of heartfelt hopes, sorrows, joys, and friendships, it is our fond hope that this record, which will bind that por- tion of our lives for time immemorial with- in its pages, will serve in keeping alive these fond and treasured memories CONTENTS DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION FACULTY SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS SOCIETIES FEATURES ADVERTISERS DEDICATION With affectionate respect we dedicate this hook, the thirty-fifth volume of the PlCKOUT, to the memory of a man who lor sixteen years faithfully served as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Electrical Engineering at Lowell Textile Institute. His classroom was his laboratory where he devoted his life to inspiring those under him with the high purpose revealed by his Teaching and his Personality.

Senior Class History ON Thursday, September 17, 1936, the Class of ' 40 made its first none-too- graceful entrance into the Lowell Textile Institute. For a while, the period of orien- tation, with examinations, photographing, and hazing, had the Freshmen quite be- wildered, but after a few days, with regular classes beginning, we discovered that the Sophomores numbered only half as many as we, so the harrying was dispensed with, and we settled down into the routine of the Institute life. With the help of police car searchlights from the bridge, we painted a gigantic 40 on the canal wall, where it may be seen today and for many years to come. A Christmas dance was sponsored by the Freshman class and was declared to be a social and financial success. Our class was well represented in ath- letics during that first year, as it has been throughout the four years. Rudy Meuser, Joe Pelt, and Eddie Maslanka have starred on the football teams, and others on the basketball, baseball, rifle, and golf teams. In our Sophomore year the engineers and chemists began branching off into fields of their respective industries, engin- eers with their cotton and wool, and the chemists, besides being stuck with another year of Guttsie ' s English, with their Ger- man and quant, stoichometry, and ad- vanced organic. Both groups were bored with the one and only T.C. D. course. As Juniors, the chemists became more and more imbued with the steam and smell of the dye lab, while the engineers worried over Heat, Electricity, and Mech- anism, to say nothing of the applied mech., and the Worsted Yarn Manufacture and its French combs, I.G.B., and vague talk about a U.D. Senior year really was a snap after those other three, with most of the year being spent on thesis, after a few months of prep- aration at the theatres of Lowell. Our class had shrunk to less than half of its original size, but those that remained had attained their heights of leadership which, as Sen- iors, they were entitled. Joe Pelt and Rudy Meuser were co-captains of the football team during one of the best seasons for many years. Thirteen members of the class had won the membership in Tau Epsilon Sigma. Ken Beltramini took over the Coop managership during his senior year, and at the same time served as Busi- ness Manager of the Text, with Merlen Bullock as Editor. We are proud of our class record, and proud of the spirit which as underclassmen has bound us together into one harmonious group. We look back over the four years, reviewing in our minds the fun, the happi- ness, and the joy of these years. We have come to respect the faculty for the work they do understandingly, unassumingly, and equitably. They have been sympa- thetic, friendly, and quick to offer their assistance. We have found that we value their friendship and respect. We are now on the threshold of Com- mencement, beyond which lies life. Into this we are to step, each member to go his separate way. Though we, in all probabil- ity, 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.

Secretary; Mason, President; Leary, Treasure) Junior Class History AS Juniors we can look back over al- most three years of our schooling here at the Institute and recall most of the outstanding events that have taken place. We all remember our first day at Textile-, how the Sophomore president, Joe Pelt, chewed his gum and tried to intimidate us with all sorts of dire threats. After we had defeated the Sophomores on Field Day, we were free from the rules they had laid down for us. Later a few of our bolder yet artistic men did a good job of painting our numerals just in front of the archway. About the middle of the first semester of our first year, a political campaign was conducted in our English class with the result that the following members were elected to lead us: Fred Mason, President; Francis Murphy, Vice-President; Miss Joan Biron, Secretary; Gordon Leary, Treasurer; and Maurice Phillips, Repre- sentative to the Athletic Douncil. As repre- sentatives in the field of sports we had Pop Roberts, Mackle, Frank Seigler, Dave Pernick, Mickey Gass, and Abe Grondon. In May, Upstream Day proved to be a day well worth remembering. Our first year over, we returned to Tex- tile after our summer vacation with the uppermost thought in our minds being get those Freshmen. We put them through their paces until they brought out downfall by defeating us in several ath- letic contests the first of which was played on Field Day. The Freshman Banquet took place on the night of the Hurricane of ' 38. The excellent program for his affair had been prepared by Professor Dow and Paul Sullivan. Our class was strong in the support of athletics during our second year and as a class we further our individuality. Our officers for our Sophomore year were: [3o] JUNIOR CLASS Back Row: Gari, Urlaub, Carmichael, Brown, Pernick, Jay, Tartikoff, Patrick Fourth Row: Lane, Adie, Higginbottom, Batcheller, Milberg, Piatt, Finard, Rashkin, Wolf, Kaplan, Zellweger Third Row: Mintz, Guilfoyle, Portilla, McTeague, Weil, Phillips, Szymosek, Okun, Epstein, Saltsman, Condon Second Row: Miss Biron, Turner, Inkpen, Linden, Lanfield, Schiffer, Sullivan, Factor, James, Cordeau, Alexander, Greenbaum Front Row: Miss Lewis, Leary, Grondin, Mason, Miss Rich, Puliafico, Miss Woodard Paul Sullivan, President; Abe Grondin, Vice-President; Jimmy Shore, Treasurer; Miss Charlotte Rich, Secretary; and Maurice Phillips, Representative to the Executive Council. During the last week of the second semester elections were held with the fol- lowing being elected: Fred Mason, Jimmy Shore, Miss Charlotte Rich, Gordon Leary, and Salvatore Puliafico. Jimmy Shore did not return so a special election established Abe Grondin in his place. Returning for this, our third year, we yelled break while the Sophomores tortured the Freshmen. We later at- tended the Freshman Smoker and had a grand and glorious time. We were fortu- nate in not having a return engagement of last year ' s hurricane. The second term of our Junior year got off to a very slow start due to the blizzard. However, we all enjoyed the winter sports (remember those ice-packed snowballs of Tartikoff?). Many of us have found the third year work the source of much diffi- culty and we are glad to see it almost over. Next year we will be Seniors and we are looking forward with hopes that we will be able to fill those responsibilities that arise during the last year.

[32] SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORE CI.Ass OFFICERS Johnson. Treasurer; Lisien, Vice-President; Hunter, President; Szopa, Secretary Sophomore Class History THE Class of ' 42 returned through the gates of Lowell Textile Institute, to cany forth the 1). inner as the Sophomore class of the Institute. The number was re- duced to about 60 percent of its initial number and the tradition of the class was to rest now upon the shoulders of 70 men and a woman. Reduced in number, but undaunted in spirit, the Sophomores attempted to haze the large Freshman class. However, to give credit where credit is due, acknowledg- ment must be made to the well-organized Freshmen. Keen rivalry reached a high note between the two classes, and as the Frosh were severely beaten in the Field Day basketball game, the Sophs proved that they were still masters of the situation — in true ' 42 style. For the first, which may be said to be the only time, the Sophomore class prevented the Frosh from successfully painting their numerals in a conspicuous position near the school. In true Textile fashion, and splendor, the Class of 42 played host to the Frosh at the annual banquet and smoker in South- wick Hall, less the hurricane, which was a part of the banquet in our honor, the previous year. Officers were elected late in the year, but proved worthy of the selection of the class. However, with the new year, Robert Hunter was elected to the position of Presi- dent of the Sophomore class; Walter Lisien, Vice-President; Stanley Szopa, Secretary; Roy Johnson, Treasurer; and Representa- tive to Executive Council, Russell Roberts. Outstanding in athletics are Walter Lisien and Walter Staklinski, in basketball. Morton Oppenheim and Joseph Toma- suria represent the Sophomore class on the [34] SOPHOMORE CLASS Back Row: Walwood, Moreau, Harper, Cryan, McCartney, Rawlinson, Staklinski, Smith, Rogoff Fourth Row: Schiller, Mandikos, Peel, Noonan, Hornung, Wolf, Sanford, Caine, Kent, Armstrong, Oppenheim Third Row: Penatel, Hamer, Callahan, Koroskys, Murphy, Wall, Thomas, Sandner, Webster, Bulson, Shapiro Second Row: McMahon, Corcoran, Boule, Barnes, Evans, Coffin, Angell, Allard, McElhinney, Baer, Blanchard, Eichner Front Row: Fead, Johnson, Lisien, Hunter, Szopa, Miss Pratt, Dick gridiron. On the baseball team we have Roy T. Johnson, a great little pitcher, and several others. We are represented on the Rifle team by Charles Angell, Bill Schiller, and Arthur Moreau. Our activity is not confined to sports alone, as we have mem- bers of the class on the Pickout board, the Text, A.A.T.C.G.and Engineering Society. The class has in every way thrown its weight into the school and extracurricular activities of Textile during the past two years. In the years to come, we feel sure that Textile will have cause to point with pride to the Glass of ' 42.

Secretary Freshman Class History THROUGH the wide (.pen gate of Lowell Textile Institute, on Thursday, September 14, 1939, strode a hundred and live Freshmen; reach to conquer new fields of learning, and armed with nothing better than a prayer in our hearts and a determination to do our utmost. Our first introduction was to Professor James Guthrie Dow who was to pilot us through the bewildering channels of orien- tation week. We were further encouraged on our way by Miss Ruth Foote, our Registrar, who directed us in filling out an endless number of cards. We were then subjected to the color-blind tests, individual picture-taking, and physical examination. Acquiring further knowledge of Who ' s Who and Why, we met the various heads of departments, who explained to us the particular kind of torture we might ex- pect at their hands. Fortunately, it was our privilege to dis- cover that there was a lighter touch to Textile Institute life through extracurricu- lar activities. However, we also discovered thai there were certain price tags affixed to the generous invitations to indulge that might very well cause us to ' stop, look, and listen!!! Being anxious to make our mark early in life, we quite proudly displayed our large and artistic numerals, 43, in the center of the Moody Street bridge. Naturally, we are proud and happy to lend our support to our athletic teams; in football, we were represented by: Edward Rowen, John Lodge, David Dolge, Thom- as O ' Donnell, Martin Murray, Carl Har- ris, John Colburn, and John Johnson; in basketball by: Herbert Pesetzky, Stuart Hicks, George Clark, and Eugene Leary. Election day, November 29, 1939, proved a happy one for all concerned, having chosen for our class officers: Presi- dent, William Sidebottom; Vice-President, Peter DeMallie; Secretary, Esther Davis; Treasurer, Claude Allard; Representative to Executive Council, Edward Rowen. The Class of ' 43 has made a good start and may it continue to be as successful in the years to come.

Trips are planned by the so- ciety so that the members may be afforded opportunities to visit and study the opera- tions 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 supplied. Experience has shown that added incentive in their undergradu- ate efforts is thereby engendered. [43] J  J  A • V 4« J ■ A MM m m M m m m SW 5 ? 1 lAl m ft % A.A.T.C.C.

Woodard IN 1927, Lowell Textile Institute created its own Phi Beta Kappa, namely, Tau Epsilon Sigma. The key, which is the in- signia of membership in Lowell ' s honor society is prized as the highest undergrad- uate award of merit attainable. To become eligible for candidancy in this honor society, the student, at the be- ginning 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 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 percent or better and that he has not failed in any subject.

The Textile squad showed a great deal of fight all through the season, but because of its size, and the lack of reserve power, which is very important especially when the going gets tough, the past season was not a suc- cess according to the ledger. On the other hand, the season was definitely not a fail- ure for in several games The Red Raid- ers upset the applecart and went out to win games that they were figured to lose. It is difficult to name a few individual stars on any team, but there are always those players whose efforts and spirit make them stand out above their fellow team- mates. Co-captain Meuser, Dubisz, Cun- ningham, Mackle, and Sinski consistently starred. Their all-around play on many occasions turned defeat into victory and marked the difference between a badly- played and a well-played game. Let it not be said, however, that their teammates let them down, for the whole squad turned in good performances, and they all are deserv- ing of much credit. TEXTILE 33— HYANNIS 6 Textile started the season off well by administering a one-sided drubbing to Hyannis . . . It was a well-played game from the Textile viewpoint. It was just too much Textile power for Hyannis. TEXTILE o— COLBY 26 Too much Colby for Textile . . . Until the last couple of minutes of play Colby was lead- ing by just one touchdown, but the lack of reserves finally resulted in Textile ' s downfall. TEXTILE 14— ARNOLD 6 A nip-and-tuck game with Textile breaking into the winning column once again. Tex- tile ' s victory came through the air. But for a stubborn hard-fighting Arnold team, Textile would have added up the score in the long run. TEXTILE o— ST. ANSELM ' S 33 Outnumbered and outplayed, Textile put up a hard fight against a great St. Anselm ' s team. Again the lack of reserves told. An avalanche of five touchdowns was more than Tex- tile could overcome. This came was played under the lights and there was a large turnout of Textile students who had made the trip to Manchester. TEXTILE 7— C. C. N. Y. o Still smarting from a defeat at the hands of the team from the big city in 1938, Tex- tile came on to beat C.C.N.Y. in the last minute of play, via the air. Textile held City Col- lege in check during the entire game and took advantage of any and all breaks and won. TEXTILE o— UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT 20 Textile went down to Connecticut to see if they could continue their winning ways, but the team from Storrs finally wore down the boys from Lowell who had outplayed them until the final quarter. TEXTILE 2— A. I. C. 21 Still playing in hard luck, Textile went down to defeat at the hands of A. I. C. Textile menaced the A. I. C. goalline many times during the first half, but all that was accomplished was the scoring of a safety. A. I. C. came back in the second half to score three touchdowns. TEXTILE o— NORWICH 19 The cadets from Norwich were again more power than the Textile team could handle. The visiting team showed a fine exhibition of football and, despite the valiant efforts of Textile, went on to win.

There were a few new faces on the squad and these men helped out quite a bit. The team played 21 games, winning seven and losing four- teen. Many of the losses were just by the margin of one or two points and many times it seemed as though defeat would be turned into victory. Outstanding on this year ' s team were such men as Captain Pernick, Herb Peset- zky, Walt Lisien and Mickey Gass. These men were the bulwarks of the club and kept it in the running all the way.

Jarek Eileen M. O ' Donoghue Sorority Social Events THE Phlame ' s first get-together was October 8, 1939, at Alice Woodard ' s home in Chelmsford where a tea was held in honor of Anita Dori ' s birthday. The presentation of a beautiful corsage and gift to Anita, completed a very enjoyable afternoon. The next social event on the sorority calendar was a roller skating party at the Crescent Rink. Everybody had a grand time in spite of many ups and downs. On October 29, 1939, Miss Charlotte Rich had a farewell party for sorority sister Miss Eleen Keizer, who was about to leave Lowell to accept a position in the South. We are all looking forward to greet- ing her again in the near future. A unique Christmas party was held at the home of Miss Dorothy Lewis on De- cember 11, 1939. Among the costumes worn by the girls were a sarong, little-boy suit, old-fashioned lingerie, kiddie cos- tumes, and farmerette, complete with corn- cob pipe. An ice-skating party at Lupien ' s, Janu- ary 29, 1940, attracted quite a crowd of would-be Sonja Henies and Ted Mezas. The weenie roast around a roar- ing fire in the log cabin furnished the grand finale for a perfect evening. A roller skating party sponsored by the sorority was held at the Crescent Rink, February 8, 1940. As usual, everyone had a very enjoyable time. A semi-formal dancing party was held at the home of Miss June Cozad, April 5, 1940. As was to be expected, everyone present had — need more be said? PHLAME HELL WEEK On that most memorable day of No- vember the twentieth in the year of our Lord 1 939, began the week of such inex- pressible delight for the upper class soro- rity sisters, and of such doubtful delight for the Freshman pledges. Perhaps the radio vogue of broadcasting such childish ditties as This Little Pig Went to Market and Three Tttle Fitties was the inspiration for the prescribed re- galia of pig-tails, short skirts, milk bottles, et al, which was a very essential part of the pledge ' s torment during Hell Week. At any rate, attired in the latest Vogue fashions — guaranteed to make them ap- pear most unattractive, the niggers waited in submissive silence for the inspec- tion of the initiation committee, made up of June Cozad, Joan Biron, and Betty Pratt. After a few minor adjustments had been made, a pep talk was given to help bol- ster the morale of the fashion models. They were then sent forth to astonish and bewilder the student body with their varia- tions on the theme of What the Weil- Dressed Girl Will Throw Away. The day passed quite uneventfully, how- ever, except for the naughtiness of Barbara and Edith who were overcome quite sud- denly with an intense desire to find out what would happen if they escaped to the luncheonette across the bridge. Find out they did, for the penalty was no dinner and an uphill hike back to school. As is always the way, when the week was all over it was decided that the nig- gers had by far had the better time and the most fun, since they had only to obey orders and carry out the stunts, while their mistresses had to think them up, and see that they were carried out; — all of which is of course infinitely harder. The formal initiation of the Phlame Sorority was held on the afternoon of No- vember 26, 1939, at the Omicron Pi Fra- ternity House. The sponsors, honorary members, and the new regular members were present at this initiation which was presided over by President Louise Fox. Tea was served during the course of the after- noon with Mrs. Louis A. Olney pouring. [63] 9 s JL2JL 2 , f H n t ? w f f t |f ft f ? ' 5acA ' i?ew: Johnson, Whiting. Ritchie. Harris. Lodge.

Zenorini Phi Psi Functions OPEN HOUSE ON September 30th Gamma Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity held its first major social function, Open House. On that particular Saturday afternoon, direct- ly after the Hyannis Teachers College football game, the members of the faculty and the Freshman class were invited to the fraternity house on Fletcher Street where Chef Al Nelson served a buffet luncheon amidst an atmosphere of conviviality. Open House proved to be a social orienta- tion for the Freshmen at Textile, since it was their first opportunity to meet the members of the instructing staff, their fel- low classmates, and the upperclassmen in a purely social atmosphere. The success of Open House was marked by a constant flow of instructors and students throughout the fraternity house. HELL WEEK Thanksgiving Day being observed at Textile on the day that the Pilgrims ob- served it rather than the day that Mr. F.D.R. chose to observe it, the students re- turned from their Thanksgiving vacation on December 4th, and on that same day Satan began his perennial stay at the Phi Psi house for Hell Week. Hell Week serving as a week of initiation for the pledges proved to be a riotous night- mare marked by the following conniptions and incidents: Bud Callahan ' s shapeli- ness on Out Night; Corky Lombardi ' s laryngitic rendition of South of the Bor- der ; Bill Taylor cooking hot cakes in Kearney Square; Butch Brook ' s pronun- ciation of a particular word; and the entire group of pledges salaaming the sahibs of the immortal Crystal. THIRD DEGREE On January 13, 1940 the pledges became active members when the Third Degree was bestowed upon them by the officers of the Grand Council at the Mid-Winter Banquet of the Boston Alumni Chapter in the Captain ' s Cabin of the Myles Standish Hotel in Boston. Preceding the banquet the Gamma pledges became members of the fraternity along with the pledges from New Bedford Textile ' s Beta Chapter and Fall River Tex- tile ' s Delta Chapter. At this time Gamma Chapter was highly honored as Mr. Henry Black, assistant general manager of the M. T. Stevens Company, was made an honorary member. 37TH NATIONAL CONVENTION During the week-end of April 1 ith, 12th, and 13th Phi Psi held its 37th National Convention at the Bellevue-Stratford Ho- tel in Philadelphia, Pa. The convention consisted of a smoker, luncheons, indus- trial and historical trips, Grand Council elections and installations of officers, a ban- quet and entertainment, exhibits of the products of the Alumni and exhibits made by the nine active chapters. Gamma Chap- ter ' s exhibit depicted the life of the men living at the fraternity house by means of a novel picture display. The brothers who attended the conven- tion brought back reports of a business nature, and also many of those unforget- table incidents that always occur at the National Convention. SPRING FORMAL April 26th was the memorable day in the minds of the Phi Psi men that the Spring Formal was held at the Vesper Country Club. After dinner the new officers of the chapter for the school year, 1940-41, were introduced formally. Following this danc- ing was made available by the music of maestro Ray Harrington and his orchestra. The entire facilities of the Vesper Coun- try Club were made available to the fra- ternity for the evening, coupled with this there was a large and representative group of both active and alumni members which made the formal a thoroughly successful affair.

Activities began on Friday, May 5, with a dinner at the Rex Grille for the delegates from visiting chapters. After the conclusion of the dinner members of the local chapter and of visiting chapters as well as several alumni members assembled at the Rex bowling alleys for a tournament, at the conclusion of which the alumni group emerged victorious. Saturday ' s convention schedule consisted of a luncheon and business meeting at the Rex Penthouse at noon and a dinner dance in the Rex Auditorium in the evening. Freshman Banquet New American Hotel, Lowell A very successful banquet was held at the Blue Room in honor of a selected group of candidates. The affair was arranged by Consul Nuttall with the assistance of William Nelson.

Donald Meadows Hester Grantham Guy Waller Mrs. Waller The Bishop of Broadminster Lady Emily Lyons Collins Frenchy .... Mr. Brooke IN the midst of rain, thunder, lightning, and all of the other elements necessary for the complete atmosphere of a good mystery play, the Bishop of Broadminster, an elderly and quite saintly dignitary, stops by accident with his equally mild old sister in an ugly pub taproom, just after there has been a serious hold-up and rob- bery. The Bishop who is an almost full- time devotee of detective literature, and who numbers among his idols, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Philo Vance, and Ellery Queen, and who has always had a secret love of wickedness, finds himself here in the midst of the realization of his fondest dream. He gobbles up clues like an old black rooster among beetles. To top it off, he snatches the swag. He leaves the place Saunder Finard Eugene Leary Matthew Kennedy J. Thomas Walwood Russell Cunningham Claude A. Allard James McLean Thomas Cryan Clarence Weil Irving Mintz with the stolen jewels, knowing full well, that the criminals will follow him to the Bishop ' s Palace. He hides the swag in the nearest humidor and awaits his fate. Again in keeping with the atmosphere, the fate consists of several ruffians, a masked hero, and a suitably attractive heroine. Sometimes these enemies have the Bishop at bay; sometimes he has them. It is a game of turning the tables, turning out the lights, pistol-pointing, knife-brandishing, out-guessing, and out-confessing, until the Bishop has emerged victorious, and given the hero and heroine his blessing. The end of which rumpus brings to a close an evening on the stage which is packed with laughs, suspense, and a full share of in- triguing situations.

Glasses begin for the freshmen. Registration for the upper classmen. And the theatres are crowded with Textile students. Classes start for the upper class men and the theatres are still crowded. Frosh try to get out from under Ruthy ' s wing — It ' s no use, boys, we also tried in vain. Joe Pelt, because of injuries, is forced to resign from the football team — We ' ll all miss you, Joe.

Sophs adopt a class hat — Why doesn ' t anyone wear them? The Pickout office is officially opened — a secretary is wanted. Evening school registration. Sophs try to give the frosh a workout.

Buck and Ghigger Scully are doing a fine job assistant coaching the football team. [75] Oct. 4 Mr. Petterson of the machine shop thrown for a loss by an electrical short circuit. 5 It is beginning to look like the freshmen are too strong for the poor sophs. What ;i let-down — The frosh are actually refusing to do what the sophs tell them to. 6 Prof. Merrill of the cotton department and Clarence (Clancy) Weil met on Varnum Avenue and a line time was had by all except the two cars. 7 Colby rides rough-shod over our footballers, score 26-O. 8 The Phlame Sorority entertains for Anita Dori. 9 We are just beginning to notice the freshman caps around. It looks like the sophs are beginning to crack down. 10 Our dear Prof. Wells has been .iskrd to become the class adviser for the Class of ' 40. 1 1 Fred Mason, Abe Grondin, Gordon Lcary and Charlotte Rich elected officers of the Junior Class. 12 Columbus Day and we celebrate by beating Arnold, 14-b.

What ' s the matter, getting too good for the Crystal? 26 Hank Sinski— I won ' t go to the Junior dance unless I can take Charlotte. 27 The Junior dance— well attended by Textile and Teachers College. High-spot of the evening: Joe Gari and Charlotte Rich doing a rhumba. Alice Woodard looked positively scrumptious with that new hair-do. 28 C.C.N.Y. loses to Textile, 7-0, and Omicron Pi holds a victory dance. 30 Heard on the rifle range: My feet aren ' t big; I just wear big shoes because they are so comfortable. The first shuttle smash of the year — Explanation by one of the sophs — I didn ' t know it was loaded. 31 Prof. Stewart is made grand commander of the Knights Templar. Nov. 1 Sophomore wool trip led by Profs. Barker, Brown and Kennedy. 2 Lehigh booked for the football team next year. 3 George Kent — It ' s hard to understand, first Mr. Sugden says if we have a shuttle smash we will fail for the year and then he says that you have to have a shuttle smash before you are a real weaver. 4 Not only did we lose the football game but we also lost Dubiz and Grondin, score 20-0.

If there is anyone whom I have forgotten to put on the pan, I apologize. And so to press . . . [79] Interfraternity Banquet THE third yearly All-School get-to- gether was held in Southwick Hall on October 18, 1939. A very active commit- tee, under the direction of Professor James G. Dow, was well rewarded with the larg- est attendance in its history. The head table was occupied by every member of the faculty and of the office staff. A turkey dinner awaited us, the quality and the quantity of which topped our fondest ex- pectations. It was interrupted at various times by spontaneous votes of confidence for the participants of the head table. After having satisfied our appetites, we joined in community singing led by Theo- dore W. Fox, ' 40, who was ably accom- panied by his father, Russell M. Fox, of the Design Department. A fine speaking pro- gram was headed by President Charles H. Eames and Professor James G. Dow. We were reminded that at the same occasion last year a hurricane had surprised us, nullifying for the most part the effect of the entertainment. With no marring effects this time it cer- tainly was enjoyed, thanks to the gener- osity of the four fraternities of the Institute. Their choice of the House of White of Boston, Mass., proved itself to be a very good one. Mr. Webb, the able and versa- tile Master of Ceremonies, soon had every- body in his or her best mood. Miss Brooks, his partner, showed herself as an accom- plished pianist and accordionist. Such a combination is rarely equalled, and the applause they received was the proof of their popularity. The next act, by Mr. George Gillette, was equally enjoyed by all of us. He is a wonderful story-teller, and as a singer of comedy songs he is excelled by few others. He played tunes for us on all sorts of instruments, — such as automo- bile horns, balloons, miniature bells, and ocarinas. He climaxed his act by inviting eight members of the instructing staff to assist him in playing and ringing his last instrument: the bells. It is easily question- able as to who enjoyed this more, the players or the audience. The entertainment was climaxed by the last act, featuring The Camerons, masterful mystifiers. Some students are still discussing the man- ner in which they performed their tricks. Everyone was stumped, even Professor E. Wells, whose Freshman Physics has taught us not to believe in mysteries and wonders. The singing of the Alma Mater concluded this memorable evening. It is only to be hoped that future classes at Textile will have banquets as enjoyable as the one we had. [81] Upstream Day 1939 AMID cheers and shouts, two large l buses and several private cats rolled out through the [nstitute ' s arch on the way to Canobie Lake, Salem, New I Iainpshirc. Two hundred students and instructors wen on their way to participate in one ol the most popular traditional days ol Lowell Textile. It was Wednesday, May [Oth, and the old weatherman had come through with .1 perfect day. Upon arrival at the park, the entire body dispersed and set out to learn what the park had in store for them. The program got under way with football, baseball, and horse shoe games. In a far-away corner of the park were huddled the cribbage ad- dicts enjoying their peg-jumping hobby. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by the score of 6-2, in a red-hot baseball game. With Rusty Yarnall and Professor Gushing leading the instructors, the Fac- ulty vanquished the Seniors by the score of 5-1, in another baseball game. After these two exhibitions, everyone made a mad rush for the mess hall, but the banquet was not ready. The hungry stu- dents then drifted through the penny ar- cade to watch the horses coming down the home stretch. The call came for dinner and the merrymakers made a scramble for the mess hall, but it was only a false alarm. The dinner was not quite ready so back to the penny arcade went the disappointed collegians. The call for dinner came again, and this time the dinner was ready. A full Course turkey dinner was served. Let it be known that everyone enjoyed the meal down to the last crumb. After the banquet the merrymakers sought the shady trees and cool grass to recover from a grand feed. The relay races were next on the pro- gram with top honors being carried away by the Freshmen; second place to the Sen- iors: third to the Sophomores; and last place to the Juniors. Bowling, horse shoe pitching, softball and other activities were enjoyed in the afternoon. The roller skating rink was the scene of a large amount of activity with many breath-taking spills. By this time, the afternoon was over and an ample buffet supper was served to the tired, sun-burned, happy gang, after which the buses returned to Lowell. It should be added that general merriment was abundant on the buses, with the Fresh- men proving to the upperclassmen that they too were already well steeped in the tradition of Upstream Day. [82] mA- A ■■.■■...■ Field Dji y GREAT plans were made to give the Freshman class a chance t win supremacy over its traditional rivals, the Sophomores in the contests in which the) were to be matched. I he new class was greater in number, bul the big question to be answered was, ' Was the ability of the Class of ' 43 in proportion to its size? Field Day was to bring the decisive answer. Several complications prevented the actual completion ol the well-prepared plans. 1 lie hour schedule was changed, and the free period was shortened. Thus the hostilities which were originally planned for the spare hours, were cancelled, and it was decided to hold the various events in the afternoon. The first meeting took place on October 11, ! );■; ) in the gymnasium. The traditional basketball game was on the schedule. Thirteen members of the Class of ' 42 were there to give their all; against them in uniform appeared nine Sopho- mores, equally confident of their prowess. In spite of their larger squad, when the whistle blew at the close of the game, the Freshmen were trailing by the score 20-13. The Sophomores showed more experience, and had a great advantage in height. In spite of the obvious superiority of the Sophomore team, which was even more enhanced by the presence of three varsity men on the squad, the Freshmen fought gallantly and at the half were only behind by two points. With renewed energy, the Sophs started the second half in a whirl- wind of speed, and quickly piled up a com- fortable lead before the Freshmen could reorganize their attack. In spite of the seemingly one-sided score, no one was re- luctant to praise the fight and tenacity of the losers. Hicks and Leary were outstand- ng in their work for the Freshmen, while the win was a tribute to the ability and experience of the varsity men, Lisien, Staklinski, and Thomas. The second scheduled event was the football game which was played on the cold and rainy afternoon of November 13, [939. After an hour and a half of lively and interesting football, the contest according to points, was no better off than it had been at the start ol the contest; since the final score was 6-6. However, it was agreed that it was a moral victory for the Freshmen. Harper, playing halfback for the upper- classmen, first scored on an intercepted Freshman pass. The attempt at conversion w.is blocked, and the Sophomores led 6-0. From then on, the newcomers bore the brunt of attack. Led by Johnson, the Freshmen more than once threatened the leaders ' goal line. It was only by hard play and bulldog stubbornness that the scoring was staved off. As the clock ticked on, it seemed as though those six points would be the deciding factors in the game. With only seconds to go to the whistle, Johnson heaved the ball over the goal line and into the waiting arms of a teammate. The at- tempted extra point in the form of another pass — which would have won the game- was caught over the goal line — but, out of bounds. Thus, this final touchdown made the final score of the game. Armstrong and Harper were outstanding for the Sopho- mores, while Johnson was the Freshman star. The playing of the football game, con- cluded the official athletic rivalry between the two classes. However, the Sophomores would still like to know who painted that voluptuous ' 43 on the Moody Street bridge!!! Wouldn ' t you?
