-7 (_ d- 1941 PICKOUT PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS THE J PICKOUT VOLUME XXXVI OF LOWELL TEXTILE INSTITUTE Presenting... Presenting the 1941 Pickout. . .Today it is yours. Yesterday it was ours — ours to sweat over, to sleep with and play with, to swear at and laugh at . . . ours to fashion into a thing of life. We have en- deavored to present through the medi- um of print and picture the accumula- tion of events and activities that com- prised life at Textile during the school year 1940-41. We have done our best, hoping that this book will live for you as a memento of those years .... ...Containing In Part One — we extend our apprecia- tion for the guidance of our FACULTY . . . Part Two — we dedicate to those SENIORS with whom we have gone through Textile. . .Part Three — to those members of the lower CLASSES . . . Part Four — to the days given to the various school ACTIVITIES... Part Five— to the SOCIETIES which have provided for a good part of our social life . . . Part Six — to those who represent Textile in the field of SPORTS , . . and Part Seven — to a DIRECT- ORY which includes the names of all those now at school. TO THE MEMORY OF ARTHUR ANDREW ARCHIBALD STEWART Who for more than four decades was an integral part of Textile, this thirty- sixth edition of the Pickout is respectfully dedicated. None who knew him, could but respect him. His tasks were many; his successes were of equal num- ber. His extensive knowledge of finishing, his genuine interest in human prob- lems, and his fine inspiration as a man have won him an undying remem- brance in the hearts of all whom he met. 1 874 - 1940 FACULTY 4v ,VWWh«K  M  -- ' OPRING shades into Summer as the seniors are visualizing their entry into active industrial life. To each the four years have passed very quickly and each one senses that the weeks remaining before Commencement will pass even more quickly because the time for completing the work will be fully taken. It is generally admitted that when one is actively engaged in his work the days and the hours pass almost unnoticed in the satisfaction of accomplished tasks. It is the wish of the president, faculty, and instructing staff that the many years following Commencement will be as happy and successful for the Class of 1 94 1 as the past four years have been. t C 4f V - - - . . . Goodbye Mr. Chips EDGAR H. BARKER A LL of those who are or have been connected with Textile will mourn the fact that, when the bell for the opening of classes next September sounds, Pro- fessor Edgar H. Barker will no longer be with us in an active capacity. After over forty years at Textile, first as an instructor, and then as head of the Wool department, he will soon stand before a class for the last time, and bewilder them with rapid fire conversation and sparkling wit. Hardly need it be said to any of Professor Barker ' s friends that he was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and that after attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, came to us in 1901. In those forty years, he has become an institution in himself There are but few traditions at Textile, and Professor Barker is one of them. None who have ever known him will ever forget his fine sense of humor, his patient understanding, and his all-inclusive lectures in textile testing and technology of wool manufacture. Goodbye, Mr. Chips. We hate to see you go. THE1941 [12] Administration RUTH FOOTE, A.B., S.B. Registrar A.B., Boston University, 1910; S.B., Simmons College, 1913 At Textile since igs .

How we envied One fine moonlight night equipped those who were Seniors then, as they with chalk, brushes, and red and black talked of theses, or commencement activi- paint, we carefully marked and then ties, or how to plan the Pickout.

And yet our lives at out back in October 1937, many a teacher Textile are over.

After four years however, we quickly or slowly depending on the per- overhear much more complimentary sonal traits or thoughts of each of us, sim- remarks.

THE1941 [26] Frederick Mason Abraham Grondin Charlotte Rich George McTeague Thus we reminisce, and as we do so, we remember that each year one of our greatest enjoyments was Upstream Day. Our mind, again pleasantly doing the usual trick scrambling up the order of events, causes this day to become not one to be remembered in four parts but rather as one enjoyable day — a few hours of which belongs to each of four years. We were introduced to Upstream Day as Freshmen, then it had to be sold to us, but after once going it was we ourselves who were selling it to the Freshmen who followed us. Upstream will always be one of our most pleasant memories of Textile. In our years here, those of us with his- trionic ability have done our best to make the presentation of the Textile Show each year as good as possible. As every show must have an audience, those of us who have not participated have given our support by our attendance each year. The show has always been for many the big social activity of the year to which we have been proud to bring our favorite companions. It was these activities which lightened our more serious moments and enabled us to take the hurdles in full stride — or at least to ride with the punches. Being a very honest class we will admit that we have always looked forward to vacations, and one of our first moves on returning from one vacation was to refer to the bulletin and to mark our calendar to indicate where the next vacation started. After Ju ne has come and gone, most of us will no longer bother to mark vacations for they will be too few. This June we are not looking forward to vaca- tion but to getting ourselves jobs — to continue toward the goal that began with enrollment at Textile in 1937. We have tried to do our part socially and have at- tempted to give Textile at least its share of school spirit and tradition. It is our hope that other classes will work internally within themselves, and external- ly with others in carrying on the work of developing at Textile a bit more of this spirit and cooperation. Any rereading of this, can not help but conjure in the individual reader ' s mind those happenings which were peculiar to him and to him alone during his college days. Perhaps more than anything this is the most important because it is an indi- vidual rather than a collective outlook that is the determining factor in the at- taining of personal success. So have come and gone our lives here and now it is over, next year another class will do all the planning that we thought was ours alone and to us Textile will be these reflections that have in part been expressed here.

CLASSES Class of 1942 AS is almost traditional in a Textile Class, the class of 1942 returned to Textile in the fall of 1940 with their num- ber lessened, and in fact but a shadow of their former selves — in size, anyway. This was the year of P Chem, Woolen and Worsted Finishing, Worsted Lab, Heat, Electricity, Organic Chemistry, and many more equally awesome things that would have struck terror into the hearts of men who had not already been through two years of Textile .... And now it is June, — that year is past, and for the most part all of us are beyond what were the nightmares of September. The few exceptions to the are beyond are those exceptions who must inevi- tably prove the rule. As is equally inevi- table, our minds on these warm and sultry nights wander. . .wander to those days that are now behind us ... . It is again September, 1938. One hund- red gun shy Freshmen moved hesitatingly into the forbidding portals of Southwick Hall. The Sophs, our traditional enemies had not arrived, and the only thing to con- fuse and bewilder us were the intricacies of orientation. Descriptions of classes, activities, professors, pictures, examina- tions, placement tests, etc. etc The Sophs arrived all too soon. We were put through the rigors of hazing, and the ban- quet and smoker followed in rapid succes- sion. Then Field Day was upon us and in the contests, we demonstrated our might and our determination to stay on top. Fraternity bids were issued in late Octo- ber, and with them the smokers, dinners, dances, and parties which are so insep- arably linked with those days. The winter of ' 38 and ' 39 was a myriad of snows, cold, English, and Mechanism. Spring came with the respite that it af- fords before the final stretch.

With our return to school in September, our number had already dwindled 40%, and we were now seventy men and a girl. We set about our scheduled task of intro- ducing the Freshmen to Textile, and put- ting them through their paces. However, credit must be given where credit is due; the Frosh were well organized, and they were a determined opposition to the Soph- omore will. The keen rivalry that was being built up between the classes reached its peak with the Field Day Games, in which we showed our prowess in true ' 42 style. For the first time in a good many years, the Freshmen were prevented from painting their numerals in the vicinity of the school. Now the hosts, we enter- tained our enemies and the rest of the school as well, at a lavish banquet and smoker which was minus the fury of the elements that accompanied our banquet the year previous, in the form of a hurri- cane — which has escaped me until now. We have now but one year to go before we will attain the enviable position of those who are a year ahead of us — the Seniors; then we will have the dubious honor of spending hour and hour on end in laboratories, with options, thesis, and cuts, an integral part of our being. As is the lot of almost every third year man, we were not without the inevitable Szopa Ernest Allard woolen and worsted finishing, its routines, and inimitable Doc Glen; as third year engineers, we spent our every waking hour writing lab reports, and trying to solve the eternal Textile mystery of the French Comb; we listened with awe to the lectures of Prof. Gushing on the wonders of economics, and followed Doc Ghapin in his relentless (and tradi- tional source of yearbook copy) pursuit of the H ion. The rantings of our beloved professor of Organic Ghemistry, Dr. P.G. P. were not spared us — and followed us even unto the seclusion of what are tech- nically known as German lectures. As all Juniors before us, we cut Dye Lab with reckless abandon. Those of us who could fit — and even some who couldn ' t — ex- plored the wonders of the boiler — much to the chagrin of those who had to clean the towels on which were vented the rage of the explorers. Of course, there has been much more; it is, however, these things that stand out in our minds in June of 1941, and which will be as well remembered in June of 1961. Most of us will return next year — cer- tainly not all of us. In September, it will seem as an eternity until graduation — in June we will look back as do all Seniors and wonder where the time, not only of the Senior year, but of our entire four years — has gone. [49] P I C K O U T Class of 1943 ONCE again, the echo of laughter and voices was heard beneath the arch- way of the Lowell Textile Institute. It was September 14, 1940 and once again the Class of ' 43 was answering the call to the colors. It was just a year from the time when we as lowly Freshmen — 105 in number — first strode through these same gates ready to conquer whatever awaited us, armed with nothing but a prayer in our hearts and the determination to do our darndest. Well do we remember the mystification that was ours, as Miss Foote initiated us into what was to be a four-year nightmare of filling out hund- reds and hundreds of cards of varied hue and description. Next we remember the first words of wisdom, dropped from the lips of Professor James G. Dow, who was to pilot us through the bewildering chan- nels of orientation week. As do all Fresh- men, we met the heads of the various departments and learned what torture we might expect at their hands. We learned also of the extracurricular activi- ties which Textile had to offer. And now that year has passed. We are the Sophomores and they are the Fresh- men. We feel vastly superior — with good reason — and as do all Sophomore classes we let it be known that we were the lords and masters of the Freshmen. Whether or not we made known our power is a ques- tion which can easily be answered by any one or more Freshmen. Certain of us were a bit too energetic and one Sophomore had this indicated to him as he made a three- point landing on the top of the Ipckers — all of this, at the hands of some of the more rebellious Freshmen. Within the year we are glad to say that Larry Hallett has re- covered his dignity after that little episode down by the bridge. Why Sally? It was rather disappointing to see Skinny O ' Don- nell without the characteristic energy that earned him renown as a Freshman.

As Freshmen we used to worry about those inevitable yellow slips that came around every five weeks; now they come less often and we worry infinitely less about them. At a meeting early in the year John Cot- ton was elected president of the class. It was generally agreed that John was a good president, if he only had had a few meetings to preside over. The only trouble with his presidency was that he used to get lonesome at all class meetings. Both all-college dances received the full support of the Sophomore class. As you may well remember the first was held on December i8 at the Rex Auditorium and the second at Southwick Hall on March 7. The class of ' 43 is well repre- sented in all forms of extracurricular activities. Herb Pesetzky is still, after two seasons on the varsity team, trying to figure out how it is possible for one man to play all the positions. Mat Kennedy, Claude Allard, Jim MacLean, George Hochschild, and Maurice Harrison are members of the Textile Players and were prominently concerned with the annual production. Petticoat Fever. As we come to the end of our Sopho- more year and thus to the half-way mark of our careers at Textile, it is altogether fitting that we pause for a backward glance at what is now history and a for- ward glance into what the future may hold in store for us. As we look back we see that the past two years have gone much more quickly than we expected, and packed within those twenty-four months are happenings, events and occurrences which for many of us have formed the basic patterns of what may be our lives when we have left Textile and college days are a thing of the past. Certainly for most of us they have been years filled with memories of hopes and sorrows and joys and friendships. With the passing of June 1 94 1, the curtain falls on another act of our lives. September will bring us back to our Junior year. Basically, to be sure, it will be a year filled with the courses, the events, and the happenings which are only too well associated with the Junior year at Textile. However, more than that, it will be the raising of still another curtain on still another act of our lives. What lies ahead of us in this act, what twists and what turns we can not here predict; we can only hope that it will be as fruitful as the past two years have been. We know that all of us will not return — that is a certainty — we do hope that those of us who do return will be able to join hands and in a fitting manner con- tinue to tread the path which has so been indelibly marked during the first two years of existence of the class of 1943. [51] P I C K O U T Class of 1944 IT was a memorable day when one hund- red and seventeen Freshmen registered for service at Textile on September 19, 1940. This was the greatest mass registra- tion in the history of the school. Of course, the Sophomore Class wasn ' t here yet so we had nothing to fear. We found out later that they weren ' t as bad as the Seniors said. In fact, they were really nothing to fear. We were ushered through our orien- tation period under the careful guidance of Professor James G. Dow who explained all the ins and outs to us. During this period we heard from the professors of the various departments as to the books and materials which we would need to start our first year. We also got our tradi- tional Freshman outfits; red caps and black sweaters. Our first term started on September 24; nothing happened on that day but on the day following the big bad Sophomores finally arrived. It really was a discourag- ing sight to us Freshmen. There they were, bellowing and ordering the smaller of the Freshmen about. It looked as though they were afraid to pick on the bigger boys. The Freshman Rules came out that week, and the Inquisition began. Our general thought was, Can ' t the saps think of any harder ones? We were ordered to refrain from talking to girls while in school, to use the back entrance, walk in single files in the halls, address the upper classmen as Sir, and also to learn and to recite the school song. During the first week, the fourth annual banquet was held in our honor. We were lavishly entertained by the upper class- men. It was truly a gala affair for us.

During that week, a sopho- more who shah remain unnamed, was forcefully toned down by a few mem- bers of the Freshman Class for insolent abuses. Some of us didn ' t hear him so we thought it would be a good idea to let him holler from the top of the lockers. The Sophs quickly retaliated by making a group of us push one of their cars down Colonial Avenue. We proved our superiority over the Sophs by beating them in the annual Freshman and Sophomore Football game. In the thrilling last minutes of play, Ab- rahms our flashing back, smashed over for a touchdown to beat the Sophs six to nothing. On Nov. 27, we again proved our super- iority over the Sophs by beating them in the Freshman-Sophomore Basketball game. The score was 44-28. Isn ' t there something somewhere about He who laughs last, etc? On Dec. 6, Hell Week started. Even if one wasn ' t told about it he could read- ily see something amiss in the haggard faces of the Pledgees. To top it ah, John Payelian, a Pledge at O Pi, fell asleep in Mech. Drawing. During that week, some of the frat members had to be calmed down by the police in Kearney Square. And so with sadness in our hearts, we turn our prow southward and leave the Freshman year at Textile hoping that we may someday be able to return ... (as Freshmen? — Ed.) In the short space that has been allotted to us, we have tried to record for ourselves, for you and for posterity, a few of those things which stand out in our minds as we sit over a typewriter some nine months after entering Textile. As Freshmen, per- haps we are a bit more impressionistic than the more sophisticated of our com- panions, the upperclassmen. Perhaps the things which we have recorded herein, are of less fundamental importance than some of the things that happened during the year 1940-41. Perhaps the more im- portant things to be considered are our classes, our teachers, and our progress toward the goal of being graduated from Textile four years — or rather three years hence. However, the things that we have included are those things which will not be recorded in the slips of paper that were issued every five weeks; they are not the things that occupy a prominent position in the copious notes that we took in our many lecture and laboratory courses. They are rather those things which we as members of the class of 1 944 will always remember as having been equally as much a part of our first year at school — whether it be now — or twenty years from now.

ACTIVITIES The Pickout IT can hardly be said that the mid-March furor which marks the yearly con- ception of hundreds of yearbooks through- out the country was without its counter- part in the preparation of the 1941 Pick- out. It was from a host of cries — of Send those groups to the engraver! . . . Who is that fellow on the end of the third line? ... Paste up those candid pages! ... Remember we ' ve gotta be done by March 15th! — and from a host of words, ideas, and pictures that a finished book was finally constructed. However, the responsibility of a yearbook extends far beyond the ultimate presentation of a dummy free from technical and typo- graphical errors. Its foremost purpose is to present the undergraduate body with a true portrait of the school year. This, we hope we have done. It has been our aim to improve the book by changing the cover, and by using an entirely new layout. We have deemed it more advisable to use individual faculty pictures rather than the groups of the past few years. We have tried to mold the Back Row: Hochschlld, Macktez, Rashkin, Jay, Okun, Garnett, Baer, Sullivan Front Row: Miss Lewis, Prof. Mackay, Phillips, Mintz, Miss Keirstead, Miss Woodard f . f (?5 f n THE 1941 [56] Irving Mintz Editor-in-Chief Maurice Piiillips Business Manager Prof. Stewart Mackay Faculty Adviser candid pages into a form that told a run- ning story of the year, rather than leave them as a set of isolated pages merely jammed into the book, because candid pages are the thing. To facilitate the telling of our story, captions, headlines, and titles have been borrowed freely from the Text, the bulletin, and the Lowell Sun. We have tried to be fair in the editing of the articles. Frequently, fairness to the reader takes precedence over fairness to the author. In the main, the ability to write a decent article for the yearbook depends on whether the organization has anything of worth to say. However, come what may, space must be filled with what- ever is available. For this reason, too often is criticism leveled toward the worth of materia] included in a write-up. When- ever possible, we have tried to prevent this, preferring to rearrange our format from time to time to fit the availability of material on one or more organizations. Those who aided us in the preparation of the 1 94 1 PiGKOUT were: Bernard Rash- kin, Edith Keirstead, Charlotte Rich, Stanley Szopa, Sid Saslowsky, Paul Sulli- van, Bob Turner, Herb Goldberg, Stan Garnett, Lester Macktez, Daniel Jay, and George Hochschild. The photography was handled by Leonard Baer and George Armstrong. The art work on the divider pages and in other parts of the book is by Herb Pesetsky and Sid Saslowsky. The business staff was composed of Dot Lewis, Seymour Okun and Alice Woodard. We ' d like to say that the Pickout in its thirty-sixth year was at its best. That wouldn ' t be true. But it was as good as all of us working, writing, thinking, and hav- ing fun on the 1941 Pickout could make it. We give you then the school year 1 940- 41 ; we hope that you have enjoyed it, and will, in retrospect enjoy reliving it. [57] PICKOUT ■ ' tJ .% -- T ie Text TOURING the school year 1940-41, 6 -■- Tigx has endeavored to present to its readers a factual summary of all the news and activity which it, as a newspaper, considered of importance. It is a common misconception, and therefore the basis of much criticism, that a school newspaper should be able to present to its subscribers a galaxy in print of those events and hap- penings of momentary interest — that is, the so-called articles which possess news- value. Although this should be, and is the function of those college newspapers which are printed daily, it is a virtual im- possibility for a newspaper which is pub- lished bi-weekly to even try to exist on this plane. The daily class room happenings, the humorous events, and the reports of the daily happenings in certain school or- ganizations are not for consideration by a newspaper such as the Text; unless they are fundamental in nature, or worthy of commemoration — in short, worth reading and equally worthy of space, two weeks after they have transpired. Back Row: Hamer, Kopocinski, Hirn Front Row: Goldberg, Miss Keirstead, Macktez, Prof. Dow, Dick, Zenorini, Procter THE 1941 [58] Lester A. Macktez Editor-in-Chief Rudolph C. Dick Business Manager Pro f. James G. Dow Faculty Adviser Editorially, during 1940-41, it has been the policy of the Text to comment only on those things which directly affected the student body at Textile as a whole and to maintain a hands off policy with regard to other matters. To acquaint the student body with the events of importance in other schools and universities throughout the country, the Text this year subscribed to a service which enabled if to present these facts in a concise, but readable form. To improve the appearance of the paper, a new heading in the form of a drawing of the school was employed, and this has met with favorable comment. The increasing activity of Textile Al- umni in the New England and New York areas, made necessary the development of an organ to serve their needs. Since this was — for the present anyway an impos- sibility, the Text has devoted itself to that service, and in cooperation with Professor A. Edwin Wells made it a point to devote a portion of each issue to the end of keeping the alumni informed of all activity at Textile, and of keeping them in contact with each other. In particular, two issues deserve special mention. Both the issue devoted to the memory of the late Professor Arthur A. Stewart, and the later one devoted almost exclusively to the alumni banquet held in Boston on March I, 1 94 1, were highlights of the year. Although much criticism has been heaped upon the editors and the staff as a whole with regard to this year ' s paper, it has been a great effort to secure men for the staff who were willing to give of the time necessary to make the improve- ments which they desired. The Text in 1940-41, was not a finished product of collegiate journalism. It can be materially improved. This improvement can only be accomplished through the united efforts of the staff, student body, and faculty. [59] P I C K O U T Textile Players WITH the posting of the notice, Try- outs for the Textile Players in Room 343, on Wednesday afternoon, at 4:00 P.M. , the 1 941 season of Textile ' s dra- matic society was under way, and the preparations for the annual production on May 2, 1 94 1, had begun. The first choice of the executive council was Boy Meets Girl, by Bella and Samuel Spewack, a light comedy about the foibles of Holly- wood. More than forty men turned out, and when after three hectic days of nervous readings, rereadings, and elimina- tions, the smoke of casting had died away, a cast had been picked. However, it was not destined that Boy Meets Ghl be given this year. Due to complications be- yond the control of the organization, it was necessary to abandon this play in favor of something more suitable. Again the haggling and argument were on, and the second choice of the executive council was Petticoat Fever, a non-tropical farce by Mark Reed; a play which was done with Dennis King on Broadway, Back Row: McLean, Harrison, Hochschild, Macktez Middle Row: Kennedy, Turner, MacLean, Cryan Front Row: Mintz, Finard, Prof. Fickett, Weil THE 1941 [60] Saunder Finard President Maurice Harrison Business Manager Prof. E. E. Fickett Faculty Adviser and with Robert Montgomery in Holly- wood. In the part of Duncan Dinsmore, who has too long been exposed to the ravages of the Arctic — without benefit of female companionship, was Matt Kennedy. The role of Kimo, his faithful and monosyl- labic dolichocephalican Jeeves, was played by Irving Mintz. Claude Allard was cast as Sir James Fenton, an American version of an English globe-trotter; his fiancee Ethel Campion, was played by James McLean. The Reverend Arthur Shopman, who is not averse to a spot in his tea, was played by Saunder Finard. Clarence Weil was seen as Captain John Landry; Bob Turner as his mate Scotty; and Phil MacLean was cast as Clara Wilson, Dinsmore ' s nymphomaniacal fiancee. The scene of the play is in the wilds of Labra- dor — one hundred miles from anywhere — and concerns the events which are inevi- table when a man who has not seen a beautiful woman for two years is suddenly confronted with two of the same. An Arcti- can hula-hula dance was done by two exponents of Alaskan terpsichore, George Hochschild and Larry Hallett. The annual controversy as to whether the girl ' s parts should be taken by men or women was even more heated than usual, but when the debate was over, tradition had won, and some of the lighter voiced males were essaying the female parts. Much of the credit for the play ' s success goes to Harlan Forrest Grant, who was coaching the players for the first time, after the untimely death of Charles J. Keyes, coach for the last eleven years. Mr. Grant was assisted on and off stage by Maurice Harrison, John Pinatel, and the other members of the stage and busi- ness staff. As usual, the entire production was under the supervision of Professor E. E. Fickett.

Its pur- pose is to bring its members in closer contact with the new developments which are constantly taking place in the textile industry, and to acquaint them with the practical problems and phases of the in- dustry such as cannot be thoroughly covered in the classroom lectures. This is accomplished through the medium of the American Dyestvff Reporter — the official jour- nal of the association, and by means of addresses by men in the textile industry. At a meeting early in the school year, George McTeague was elected chairman of the organization for the school year, and Salvatore Puliafico was elected secre- tary. Ernest James was put in charge of the membership committee, and Robert Turner of the program committee. During 1940-41, the club with the most members since its inception, was fortunate in having at the same time one of the best programs in its history. On December 4, 1940, the club was addressed by Mr. A. J. Gallagher, a Textile graduate, now con- nected with the Hillsboro Mills, on the subject of worsted stock, yarn, and slub dyeing. On January 15, 1941, Mr. Ray- mond Stevens of the Felters Co., gave a talk on the complete processing of felts. The value and interest of both talks was increased by illustration with samples, taken from various stages of the process- ings. On February 26, 1941, the entire organization was shown through the mills of the Merrimac Hat Co., and was here able to observe, the complete manufac- ture of a hat from the bale to head. The season ' s program will be conclud- ed with several more talks and with at least one more trip to a nearby mill. THE 1941 [62] Engineering Society ALL sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are taking the Engineering op- tion, are eligible for membership in the Textile Engineering Society. Although the group holds no formal meetings, from time to time it endeavors to bring speakers and illustrated lectures to the entire school. The original purpose of the society was to sponsor trips to those industrial plants and mills which are conveniently located with respect to sch ool; to introduce the students through the medium of these trips to the commercial methods of pro- duction and manufacture. Within the past few years, the various departments of the Institute have found it more feasible to plan and conduct their own trips. Therefore the sole remaining function of importance is the presentation of the talks and illustrated lectures mentioned above. Although the society has not been ex- ceedingly active this year, it has tried many times during the course of the year to present the student body with at least one lecture every two weeks. Due to the many conflicting interests of the stu- dent body it has been a virtual impossi- bility to get satisfactory attendance at scheduled meetings, with the result that the committees in charge of elections and plans became disheartened and ceased what were seemingly fruitless efforts to improve the organization. The advantage of an organization such as the Textile Engineering Society in a school such as Textile is obvious. It is an important means of contact between stu- dent and industry. For this reason, it be- hooves every undergraduate engineer at Textile to do what little is required of him in furthering the scope and effectiveness of the Textile Engineering Society at Lowell Textile Institute.

In order to present the class with the best program possible, a committee is chosen which will as a whole, represent the com- posite interests of the class, and so will be able to decide upon a program of ac- tivities which as nearly as possible will satisfy all members of the class. With the largest class in the history of Textile about to be graduated, it was necessary to have a larger committee than had ever before been selected. In addition to the officers of the class of 1941, and the members of the executive council, the committee was filled out with representatives of the vari- ous fraternities and organizations, until its number was twenty. The committee under the supervision of Professor A. Edwin Wells, adviser to the Senior Class, met twice a week after school and seriously weighed and discussed all proposals that were offered in suggestion. After several weeks of argument and in- vestigation, the tentative program was presented to the class at a scheduled class meeting. Here again, its relative merits were weighed and discussed, and each event on the tentative program was put to a vote. Under the direction of Norman Inkpen, chairman of the committee, the final program was evolved, and presented to the individual members of the class for personal selection. With a general know- ledge of what would receive the most sup- port, various sub committees went about the arduous task of arranging the minor but important details. The final program as carried out, in- cluded the following activities; Baseball game. Pops concert. Class picnic, three- day trip to Maine, Alumni luncheon, Class Formal dance, and the Commence- ment on June tenth. THE 1941 [64] Athletic Association THE Athletic Association which is head- ed by Professor Lester H. Gushing, Ath- letic Director of the Institute, is a body whose duty it is to make all awards of letters and sweaters to the members of Textile ' s various athletic teams. In so awarding the letters, sweaters, and gold footballs to the athletic teams by means of ballot, it is assured that all athletes re- ceive a fair representation. To make sure that the voting will represent a cross-sec- tion of the student will, and will not in any way be prejudiced or biased, the Council is made of the following men, in addition to Professor Gushing: the cap- tains of all athletic teams, the president of each class, the editor of the Pickout, and the President of the Lowell Textile Players. A second and equally important duty to the men of Textile is the planning and organizing of the traditional and annual Upstream Day, which was held as usual at Ganobie Lake. At its first meeting of the year, the Gouncil held an election of officers and elected Matthew Gass, co-captain of the 1940-41 basketball team, as president, Lester Macktez and Walter Lisien, vice- presidents, Ernest Allard, secretary, and Professor Gushing as faculty trea- surer. The remaining members of the Gouncil for the year were: Vernon Mc- Kittrick, Freshman president, John Got- ton. Sophomore president, George Brooks, Junior president, and Fred Mason, Senior Glass president; Hank Sinski, football captain, Vin Mahoney, baseball captain, Irving Mintz, editor of the Pickout, and Saunder Finard, president of the Textile Players. Many things of a nature bene- ficial to Textile can be accomplished, if this council continues to receive the whole- hearted support of every Textilite.

The council is made up of the president and a delegate from each of the fraternities represented, and is under the faculty guidance of Professor F. E. Baker. The presidential office of the Council itself, is filled by rotation in each school year. For the year 1940-41, the Council was pre- sided over by Stan Garnett, Omicron Pi, and the other fraternities were repre- sented as follows: John Campbell, Omi- cron Pi; Robert Fead and Ralph Zell- weger, Phi Psi; Sidney Saltsman and Ed- ward Krintzman, Alpha Epsilon; and John Murphy and David Hamer, Delta Kappa Phi. With regard to rushing and pledging of Freshmen, the Council has endeavored to satisfy the desires of all fraternities by establishing a series of rules for rushing. and a code by which all the fraternities must abide. Due to an unfortunate ac- cident in Kearney Square during the initi- ation period, it was voted by the Council that a portion of the initiation, the so- called Out Night be discontinued, and something more suitable be substituted for it. Delta Kappa Phi and Phi Psi whose initiations came after this rule had been made, both revised their schedules, and did not find them wanting in any respect due to the omission of Out Night. The all-school banquet held at the beginning of the school year, and the interfraternity sports contests, held during the respective seasons of the year were under the direction of the Council. It is the further hope of the Council, that since it has succeeded so well in initiation and sports affairs; that in years to come it will be able to broaden its scope with respect to sponsoring more interfraternity social affairs. The attendances at the school dances and at the Tex Show, indicate that Textile could again sponsor Inter- fraternity formal dances. THE 1941 [66] Textile Cabinet FOR many years there was at Textile the need of an organization to which all petitions and grievances of the under- graduates might be submitted for con- sideration and solution. It was for this purpose that the Textile Cabinet was form- ed. On October 27, 1939, Professor James G. Dow called a joint meeting of the president, the vice president, the secre- tary, and the treasurer of each class and organized the Cabinet. The membership consists of the four officers of each class together with all former officers who are still enrolled as undergraduates. Meetings are held each Wednesday during the college year at four o ' clock in Room 310. The objectives of the Cabinet may be stated as follows: (i) a clearing house and a forum for the discussion of student opinion, criti- cisms and suggestions, and the presenting of petitions and recommendations to President Eames; (2) a permanent organ- ization for arranging social and other functions which will be operated on a college basis; (3) a class in parliamentary law in order that the officers may conduct their meetings in the proper manner; and (4) and organization for encouraging and promoting Textile Spirit. Although the Cabinet has been in opera- tion for only a little over a year, it has proved its worth many times. Through its effiDrts the following have been accom- plished: 1. Class membership cards are now given as receipts for the payment of dues. 2. Three All Textile Dances have been held with an average attendance of 200. The first two were at the Rex auditorium and the third at Southwick Hall. 3. A constitution for class organization was written and submitted to each class for ratification. With co-operation from all Undergraduates, the Cabinet can accomplish much for the good of the Lowell Textile Institute.

Its primary purpose was not the mere formation of a successful girl ' s club; it was rather the hope of the small band of coeds, that formed the nucleus of the Phlame, that their organization, like the flame from which it is named, would increase both in strength and in size and so be a guide for other sororities in other textile schools throughout the country. At the election, held in the latter half of the 1940 spring term the following oflScers were elected to carry on the work of this organization: Alice Woodard, President; Edith Keirstead, Vice-president; Esther Davis, Recording-Secretary; Louise O ' Leary, corresponding secretary; and Dorothy E. Lewis, treasurer. The first social event of the year was an informal initiation held on October 18, 1940 for the girls of the class of 1944. This was followed on October 20, by the formal initiation. The first roller skating party was held at the Crescent Arena on December 3, and in spite of the weather, it was well attended, and as usual a suc- cess. Prior to the Christmas recess, a party was held for the children of a local orphanage, at which Professor Charles Edlund acted as Santa Claus.

Under the terms of the agreement, Alpha Epsilon Pi was to induct all active chapters and alumni of the old SOP into its folds. The completion of this union made AE Pi one of the strongest National fraternities in New England, since in addition to its own chapters at Rhode Island State and Mass. State, it now has chapters at Tufts, B.U., Worcester Polytech, and Textile. How- ever, at a meeting of the National Inter- fraternity Council, held some weeks later with regard to this amalgamation, it was announced that AE Pi could not induct Eta Chapter at Textile without forfeiting its membership in the Council, since al- though Textile is accredited by the gov- ernment, it is not as yet fully accredited by the American Association of Universi- ties or by the New England Regional Association. Therefore, in February 1941, acting on the advice of Alpha Epsilon National, Eta Chapter of SOP, changed its name to Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, Pi Chapter, and became a pledge chapter to the national fraternity. Until such time as the chapter is fully inducted, all alumni THE 1941 [72] may become members of the national. Twenty-three undergraduate members of Alpha Epsilon returned to school in September, with Sam Saltsman,Ed Krintz- man, Art Teichner, and Ed Epstein as officers for the forthcoming year. The rush season was started with a series of three affairs, to which all eligible Fresh- men were invited. A house party was the first event on the calendar, and it was extremely well attended. This was fol- lowed by an old clothes party on the week following. At the third party, some weeks later— to which men who had ac- cepted bids were invited — pledge pins were handed out, and the serious business of pledging got under way. This was culminated in November, with the tra- ditional Hell Week and during the week of December 6th, the new men were inducted. To commemorate this event, a formal dinner dance was held at the Rex Penthouse on December lo, 1940. Nearly forty undergraduate couples were present, and the proverbial good time was had by all. Social affairs were then suspended until the first week of the sec- ond term, when a Washington ' s Birthday Dance was held appropriately enough on the night of February 22. On February 27, AE Pi sponsored a smoker for all its New England Chapters at the Lenox House in Boston. An all New England basketball tournament and dance was held at Worcester Polytechnic Institute on March 15, with Worcester Chapter acting as host to the other New England Chapters which comprise the New Eng- land Regional Conclave of AE Pi. Alpha Epsilon won the interfraternity basketball contest at school by winning three consecutive games from the other fraternities represented. They also com- peted in the interfraternity bowling con- tests, but in spite of the spirit evidenced by the men, were not able to fare too well. The year was completed with several more house-parties, and with the fifth annual banquet in May, which as in years past was a highlight of the season.

It was the first rush affair of the season, and it was without reservation one of the best. The rush season which had thus so successfully started was finished off in December with the pledging and initia- tion of 19 men after the traditional week of Hell. The success of the initiation, and the efficiency of those in charge will be attested to by any of the nineteen men who went through it. Following the return from Christmas recess, and the in- evitable social lull during the equally inevitable exam week, the season was again started with a Monte Carlo Party held at the house on February 7, 1941, with John Johnson heading the committee in charge, and Doug McElhinney and Pete DeMallie his able assistants. Chaper- oned by Mr. and Mrs. George McTeague and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Wilkinson, this party was definitely a case of in- flation that was enjoyed by all. A Pin Hop was held at home on the night of March 14, 1941, and it was here that the Star and the Crescent was in all its glory, thanks to the work of Doug McElhinney and Gerry Alexander. The pledge ban- T H E 19 4 1 [74] quet in honor of all the newly inducted men which was held in the weeks follow- ing was another memorable event in the fraternity social season. Stan Garnett acted as chairman and Arthur Hamilton was the toastmaster. Thanks to the untiring efforts of Doug McElhinney, the entire season was well peppered with well planned Sports and Informal Saturday night parties. All in all the 1940-41 season was one of the best in the history of the fraternity thanks to the cooperation of undergradu- ates and alumni working hand in hand with the officers for the year, Stan Gar- nett, Bob Hunter, Bob Haseltine, Vern Wilkinson, Dick Garnett, John Campbell, Doug McElhinney, and Chandler Brown.

The date selected was September 28, — im- mediately following the first home foot- ball game of the year. Refreshments as served by Al the chef were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, including the mem- bers of the football team to whom the new students were introduced. Since this was the first purely social event of the season for the Class of 1944, it proved to be in- valuable as a method of contacting upper- classmen, fellow classmen, and instructors. The annual initiation period Hell Week was carried out under the super- vision of Senior Warden John Brook, and hit a new high in hilarity and enjoyment. The accent was removed from the haz- ing aspect and emphasis was placed on giving the new men something that they would remember. Needless to say, the idea was a huge success. Due to an un- fortunate accident in Kearney Square on the evening previous to that scheduled for Out Night, this portion of the initia- tion had to be dispensed with, and a night of amusement at the house was substituted.

The entire facilities of the Vesper Country Club were made available to Phi Psi on the night of May 3, when the annual Spring Formal was held by the fraternity. Following dinner, the new officers of the chapter were formally in- troduced. After this, dancing was enjoyed by all until closing time. A large group of alumni, as well as active members, thoroughly enjoyed the reunion, and heartily agreed that it was the best ever. During the weekend of May 16, 17, 18, Phi Psi held its 38th National Convention at Providence, R. I. The convention consisted of a smoker, luncheons, in- dustrial and historical trips. Grand Coun- cil elections and installation of officers, a banquet and entertainment, exhibits of the products of the alumni, and exhibits by the nine active chapters.

Delta Kappa Phi Beta Chapter Established at Textile, igoj Founded at Philadelphia Textile School, igo2 WITH thirty active members return- ing to school in September, Deka Kappa Phi began its thirty-ninth year of activity at Lowell Textile Institute. The first activity of the year was the acquisi- tion of a council hall in the Howe Building in Kearney Square. About mid-Novem- ber, the bids were handed out to eligible members of the class of 1944, and were very favorably received. The men who accepted bids were put through the rigors of initiation, and were inducted about a month later. Due to unforeseen circum- stances, it was necessary to abandon the idea of having Out Night in Kearney Square, and the pledges were put through their routines at the beginning and during the intermission of one of the home basket- ball games in the gymnasium. This modi- fication in the initiation ritual met with popular approval, and in all probability will become a permanent part of the pro- gram in the years to come. The fraternity was well represented in both interfraternity basketball and bowl- ing; placing high in the basketball con- tests and winning the bowling tournament. In April of 1940, Delta Kappa Phi held its annual convention in Philadel- phia, with Alpha Chapter of the Phila- delphia Textile School acting as host. A successful business meeting was held at a local hotel, and various social affairs es- T H E 19 4 1 [78] pecially planned for the occasion, rounded out the activities. At the 1941 convention held in New Bedford, Delta Chapter was host, and presented to the other assembled chapters, a fine program of social activity. In the latter half of March, a banquet was held at the Hotel Manger in Boston. It was one of the most successful affairs of this kind ever held by the fraternity, and was attended by active members from all chapters as well as by a host of alumni. At this time, the pledges from all the chapters were given the third degree, and thus became full fledged members of Delta Kappa Phi. Full arrangements for the affair were made by Consul Murphy assisted by Dave Hamer and Abe Grondin, aided of course by the whole-hearted support of all chapter member. To John Murphy, Abe Grondin, Salvatore Puliafico, Ernest Allard, Dave Hamer, and James Wall, go the thanks of Beta Chapter for their work and effort in behalf of the fraternity during 1940-41.

The key, which is the insignia of membership in this organization, is prized as the highest undergraduate award of merit obtainable. To become eligible for candidacy in the 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 also have been of equal calibre. Should the marks of the student during his first term be below the re- quired calibre, he may become a member of the society at the beginning of the sec- ond term of his fourth year, provided he has been on the President ' s List for five consecutive terms, and has attained marks of equal calibre during the second half of his freshman year. Membership may also be obtained at the end of the fourth year, if the student can present evidence that his average for the entire course is equal to or better than that average neces- sary to make the President ' s List, and that he has not failed in any subject.

Walt Weirioski, Jack Noyes, Steve Woitkowski, Art Coughlin, Phil Dean, Tom Broderick, aided by veterans, Mickey Gass, Hank Sinski, Joe Tomasuria, and George Mc- Teague, looked as though they would be ready for anything that anyone might have to offer. Pre-season practice was brought to a close, and Coach Rusty Yarnall pro- nounced his charges ready for the opener with Hyannis Teachers on September 28. The game was played on a warm day — a day far more suitable for a good baseball game. The heat slowed down the pace of the game; but the game was not without its lively moments, and a large opening day crowd saw Textile win 12-0. It was truly a Pyrrhic victory, because in an attempt to score via a running play, Weirioski was hard-hit, and suffered a broken ankle, causing him to be lost to the team for the remainder of the season. Had he not been so seriously injured, the outcome of the season might have been entirely different. In the same game, Kal Kaplan received a broken nose, and he too was forced out of play for almost the remainder of the entire season. On the night of October 2, Textile went up to Manchester, to engage the mighty St. Anslem team. Although Textile put up a hard fight, they were no match for the O ' Donnell men, and were trounced by a score of 38-7.

[ 85 ] P I C K O U T Basketball IN spite of any prejudice that may exist, it cannot be said that Textile ' s 1940-41 basketball was a successful one. Success in sport is mainly figured on the number of games won as against the number of games lost, and since we only won seven out a a total of twenty-two played, we cannot say that we emerged successfully as a whole. Potentially, the team was a strong one, and one which should have — to all minds — done better than it did. With the first call of the season, six of last year ' s eight lettermen reported, and the new men ex- hibited a good bit of the stuflf needed to win games. We had our high scorers in Pesetsky, Lisien, and Pernick, and since most of the boys had been playing together for two or more years, they seemed to know pretty well each other ' s capabilities and potentialities. However, games are not won on theoretical calculations. Our first game was with Rhode Island State — and to put it bluntly, it was a nightmare; a nightmare which we lost 83-37. It may be that this game took a lot of the necessary confidence out of the boys, because they lost the next one — an easy one — to M.I.T., at Cambridge, 41- 33. In their first home appearance. Tex- tile bombarded New Bedford Textile to win, 48-31. In this game, the team showed every indication of snapping out of the doldrums, and going on to win a few games. In this contest, they really played. The team performances in the next few games seemed to conform almost to a mathematical formula. The first ten min- utes of play, saw all out basketball, but then there would be an apparent slacken- ing of the pace, and the remainder of the game would be played on a plane dis- tinctly inferior to that on which it had started. When they were playing as a team, the boys invariably clicked, and the score board showed it . . . when they were playing as — well, the record, in part, shows that too. It is not feasible to recount the story of the entire schedule in detail, but it cannot be denied that the season did have its highlights. Probably the most interesting part of the season was the New York trip. Prior to that trip, the team traveled up to Maine to beat Gorham Normal in a game that was a thriller. The score at the half was 21-21, after about 20 minutes of exciting and fierce play. During the final period, the ball and the score see- sawed back and forth, without a dead moment, until with about a minute to go. Textile dropped two baskets to win, 44-40. On February 12, the long awaited New York trip began, with the first game to be played at Springfield against A.I.C. The first half was a repetition of the Gorham game. In the second half. Textile started to click with Pesetsky sparking the attack, and we went out to win 54-48. This was in itself encouraging, because it was the first game that Textile had won on a New THE 1941 [86] York trip in three years. The following night, Textile met the University of New- ark in a return game. Again, the first half was close, with Textile leading by one point at the gun. Dave Pernick led the scoring in the second half and the final score was 35-33. The win streak was at three, and things were looking up. The third game of the trip was a match with Wagner at Staten Island, and again the first half of the game was a repetition of the past three games. The awaited second half blitzkrieg never happened, however, and Wagner eked out a 29-27 victory in the last minute of play. A Tex- tile high point occurred the minute previous to that when substituted Fresh- man Hal Leshowitz, in his initial ap- pearance on the floor, sunk a long shot from center court to tie up the game at 27 all. Seemingly inspired to do the same, a Wagner man dropped a similar long one through the hoop as the clock was ticking out, to give his team the win. It was a pretty tired team that met Hof- stra at Hempstead on the following night. For the better part of the game, the Hemp- stead boys had things pretty much their own way, and won 35-21. The next six games at Lowell saw some very good teams gracing our courts. Five of the six games were Textile losses, but the as- sembled multitudes saw some superior basketball played by Holy Cross, St. Anselms, and the famed Panzer team. In true theatrical style, the season was concluded with a decisive win, 58-42, over Assumption on the night of March 8. Again, although the season in itself was not successful, congratulations are in order for Herb Pesetsky, who finished the season with 263 points to his credit — plac- ing him fifth among New England high scorers. A word of praise is due to Walt Staklinski for his fight and spirit in every game in which he played, as well as to the other members of the squad, Mickey Gass, Walt Lisien, Dave Pernick, Bert Coffin, and Jimmy Silk who were gener- ally in there trying to put Textile on top. Back Row: Coach Yarnall, Leshowitz, Simon, Cryan, Fahey, Macktez Frot.t Row: Silk, Pernick, Pesetsky, Gass, Lisien, Staklinski, Coffin, Clark [87] P I C K O U T Back Row: Rowen, Haggerty, Kaplan, Leshowitz, Allard, Lasar, Fahey, Noyes Front Row: Coach Yarnall, Tartikoff, Haller, Staklinski, Campbell, Malcolm, Rudnick, Valente Baseball WITH the basketball season a thing of the past, and with the first smell of spring in the air, Coach Rusty Yarnall posted his first call for baseball recruits late in March of 1940. About eighty per- cent of the 1939 veteran letter men turned out, and prospects for the forthcoming season appeared to be exceedingly favor- able. As is his custom, Rusty first worked out with the eligible batteries in the gymnasium, while the playing field thawed out from under the snows of a hard winter. Reporting for active duty were two outstanding pitchers of the previ- ous year; Captain Art Proulx, and Roy Johnson. In addition to these men, Rusty had several good freshmen pros- pects, these being Louis Valente, Tom Gilhck, and Jim McNelhs. Since the men seemed to work well to- gether and since the schedule was not too heavy, it appeared as though Textile in 1940 would have a better than average season on the diamond. The final out- come of the 1940 season was not as good as it might have been, but since the entire story of the season is not told in records alone, it was satisfactory on the whole to both the team and the coaching staff. Of the seventeen games played, six were won, ten lost, and one was tied. As is evident from the scores, many of the games that were lost were pitcher ' s battles in the true sense of the word, since they were games that were lost only by one run in a hard last inning of play, or by a seemingly harmless error early in the game. The season opened at Medford with Textile playing Tufts College on April the tenth. Since it was Textile ' s opening game and the third game on Tufts ' sched- ule, it is not altogether surprising that Tex- tile did lose. The score, thanks to the hard hitting bats of the Tufts ' men, was 12-2. Textile next met Arnold on April six- THE 1941 [88] teenth at home. Again it was not Textile ' s day and they lost, 12-7, in a game which featured some heavy hitting by both teams. Rhode Island State was next on the schedule and they too handed us a 1 2- 1 defeat. Smarting from the defeat at the hands of these three teams, Textile went to work on New Bedford Textile the following week, and beat them, 15-3. In the succeeding few weeks, we met As- sumption, American International Col- lege, New Bedford and Arnold again, but managed to win only one of these games. However, three of them were pitching duels and were anybody ' s game until the last man was called out. On May 15, we met Trinity and lost another mound duel, 4-3. Several days later, we played Assumption again, this time on their home field and repeated our first exhibition against them winning, 9-5. In succession then, we lost a single game to Massachu- setts State, and a double header to Con- necticut State. The New Hampshire game which was next on the schedule was a 3-3 tie, and had to be called because of dark- ness. On June i, Providence College came to Lowell, and in a one-sided slug fest, eked-out a 12-1 victory. The final game of the season was played during commencement week on June 8th against the Alumni. The undergrads led all the way and wound up the contest with an 1 1-4 victory which wrote finis to the 1940 chapter of baseball at Lowell Textile Institute. ' I ' HE 1 94 1 season opened with the re- - - port of veterans and new men in the gymnasium the day after the last basket- ball game had been played. The season before the Yarnall men was a hard one, and one for which there would, of neces- sity, need to be a lot of practice, shifting, and sifting of men and positions. Among those lettermen reporting at the first few practices, were Mahoney, veteran first baseman — and last year ' s surprise slugger, Staklinski, Tartikoff, Campbell, Lisien, and Valente.The class of 1944 was represented by Woitkowski, Noyes, Haller, Malcolm, Silk, Massachi, Sharfer, Bent, Ellis, and Lasar. Last year ' s Freshman sensation, Lou Valente is counted on to handle the brunt of the mound duty in the games to be played. The schedule which began with a game with Brown Univer- sity at Providence on April 16, was fol- lowed with seven home games, and nine other matches played on foreign soil. The complete schedule was as follows: April 17, Rhode Island State at Kingston; April 23, Arnold College at New Haven; April 26, Massachusetts State at Amherst; April 30, Providence College at Providence; May 3, Becker at Lowell, in the first scheduled home game; May 7, New Bedford Textile at Lowell; May 10, Trinity College at Hartford; May 13, American Interna- tional College at Lowell; May 16, New Bedford Textile at New Bedford; May 17, Arnold College at Lowell; May 22, Hyan- nis Teachers at Lowell; May 24, Assump- tion College at Worcester; May 26, New Hampshire University at Durham; May 31, Springfield College at Lowell; June 4, Keene Teachers at Keene; and June 7, the traditional Alumni vs. Varsity game at Lowell, to wind up the season. The 1 94 1 team has about seven letter- men, and a good supply of Freshman talent, and if this combination of men performs as well as the early season re- cords indicate that they should, Textile should end up the season on the black side of the ledger. To attain this goal it is ex- tremely important that the team, what- ever may be their early season record while on the road, receive the whole- hearted support and attendance at home games of the entire Textile student body, since it is generally conceded that it is a virtual impossibility to play bang up ball to empty stands. [89] P I C K O U T Rifle Team ' pHROUGH all the clanging which is J- heard at Textile, the noise which is perhaps the most impressive, and seem- ingly the most foreign, is that one which ricochets through the building every day at noon and at four o ' clock. To Textile men, it means but one thing. The Rifle Club is at it again. They have been at it for the last ten years, and at no time have they been content to rest on their laurels, but have constantly tried to improve both team and equipment. They began ten years ago, with nine members, a borrowed rifle, and a pygmy range located behind the grandstand in the gymnasium. The first year saw them en- gaging in only two matches, and having the use of their range, only when the gym was not in use. During the next year, a second gun was added to the collection, and the range moved into the auditorium, where it could be staked at standard length. The club now possessed two bullet catchers, and had twenty-one members. In this year, the first of the all school tournaments, which have since become a popular annual activity, was held. In this year, the club also became affiliated with the National Rifle Association. When the club was five years old, the range was moved to the old hand loom room where it still is, and in the year following, a Winchester ' 52 and a full size backstop were given to the club. Today (in addition to sponsoring the all-school shoot) the club participates in a series of matches with other New England Colleges. The season starts around Christmas and runs through Spring recess. The credit for the success of the club is due to the coopera- tion of the members in attempting to im- prove their scores and also to the efforts of the faculty advisers, Mr. Chace and Pro- fessor Skinkle to improve the club. Their record this year in matches with the Lowell Marksmen ' s Club, the Uni- versity of New Hampshire, the Merrimack Valley Rifle Club, and the Billerica Car Shops includes five wins and three losses. Back Row: Hagerty, Angell, Berkowitz, Mr. Chace, Marcus, Harper, Mandikos Front Row: Schiller, Wall, Echavarria, Eichner, Moreau THE 1941 [90] Brown, Batcheller, Fead, Murphy, Roberts, DeMallie, Bullock Golf Team D ACK in 1939, a group of students at -■-I Textile who were interested in golf decided that it was only fair that Lowell Textile Institute be officially represented by a golf team in the form of a minor sport as well as by the football, basket- ball, and baseball teams in the other major sports. As a result of this decision, three worthy divot diggers, who are incidentally still with us, set out to ac- complish what was termed by many to be the impossible. The three aforemen- tioned men were: Pete Murphy, Ben Batcheller, and Bob Fead. Undaunted by the fact that they were not officially rec- ognized, they set out to prove their worth to the scoffers at school. This they did, by going out and playing several matches, in their first year as a team, and win- ning all easily with the exception of the one played with Andover Academy. Last year, the same team, with their number augmented from the Freshman Class, again completed their schedule with distinction. Playing their home games on the long, tricky Vesper Country Club course, against such opposition as New Bedford Textile, Andover Academy, and Worcester Acad- emy, the team was able to emerge with two wins, two losses, and one tie. This year ' s prospects look equally good, with co-captains Pete Murphy and Ben Batcheller leading such veteran divot diggers as Bob Fead, Pete De- Mallie, Ralph Bullock, Russ Roberts, and Needham Brown; and with the Freshman Class supplying recruits in the form of Rick Procter and Bob Hughes. It might be said that due to the in- creased interest in golf at the Institute, two local clubs have made special arrange- ments for Textile students. It is sincerely hoped that those students who are inter- ested, will take advantage of these offiers, with the result that in a few years we will see golf as an important interscholastic and interfraternity competition.

We rather think that it presents a fun- damental truth in a very convincing manner, and in so doing tells a story that every graduate of Lowell Textile Institute should read and profit by. For this reason, we believe that it is well worthy of inclusion in the year- book of the Senior Class. The Editor AND it came to pass that in those days . there arose in the land a great queen, full of wisdom, whose name was Alma Mater, whose son was Rah, meaning Hopeful, Happy, The Confidence of Youth. And Rah was as one and Rah was as many, and Alma Mater, the kind mother, said unto her son, Go now into the land that is mine and join there the forces that work, and see that you grow in wisdom and in strength that in the days that are to come you may rule in the land. And she gave him a paper bearing witness that he was her son and shut the gates of the house upon him so that Rah wandered oflf down the road viewing the land that was to be his. So it came to pass that Rah, son of Alma, stood before Boss, General of the Hosts, and spake, saying, Lo, I am Rah, son of the wise queen, bearing a paper saying thus and so, and I am come to help you in your labor and show you how it should be done. And Boss, saying, I care not for the paper so that you prove yourself, sent for Hank, Captain of the Carders. And Hank, viewing him this way and that, spat with disgust and spake, saying, Behold, here ' s another one. Forty times have I re- ceived into my company Rah, son of the queen called wise, and forty times forty times hath Rah quit before the water got hot. Why, therefore, do you still send for me? Is there not a soft snap here in your tent for him to answer the ' phone, saying, ' Yes ' or ' Nay, ' or to flirt with Stenog, Pounder of the Keys? What is there in this one? And Boss answered, Who knoweth? But take him and find whether he be filled with sawdust or guts and report again to me. So Hank took him and clad his legs in dirty overalls and filled his pockets with tools and his face with grease and made of him a pri- vate in the rear rank of his company and spake briskly to him, saying, Do this, and Do that, and see that you do it quickly and well for your own good and the glory of Alma the wise queen who is your mother. And Rah did as he was told. And after many days Rah stood again be- fore Boss, General of the Hosts, saying, Be- hold, I am Rah, son of Alma Mater. And Boss answered, So thou sayest. And Rah, in the heat of his youth, spake boldly, saying, Is it not enough that I am the son of a queen, but that I am put in the rear rank of your host to fetch and carry for the least of them like a beggar from the streets? I, who was reared in a queen ' s house? Behold, now, I have come to help you, but of what service am I in a pair of dirty over- alls? Many days now have I seen Hank, Gap- tain of the Carders and others of your Host and they are boneheads, all. Put them now under me that I might show them how to go. Otherwise, I join another Host. Then Boss answered, saying, That ' s what they all say. Go see Hank, I ' m busy. And Rah spake to Hank, saying, Here ' s where I quit. For many days now have I labored strongly and well, but to what end? Squills, Dispenser of Drugs, has offered me the post of Chemist of the Soda Fount, and I go that my legs abide not in greasy over- alls, nor my face in dirt. Think you that I shall stay here and be the least of your com- pany at the beck and call of a crew of jar- heads? Not I. Not Rah, son of a queen, who should be your leader, but am appointed your slave. THE 1941 [98] Then Hank said, Wherein are you better than the other jarheads? And Rah waxed wroth, saying, Wherefore think you I abode in the house of the queen? Verily, I know many things you never heard of, such as spHt infinitives and parsing and the binominal theorem and the pons asinorum. Atoms and molecules were my playthings and the abso- lute zero I carried in my pocket when I dwelt in my mother ' s house, not to speak of other things too numerous to mention. No hand than mine more swift with the racquet, no foot am Rah, Son of the Queen ' ' . . . more sure in the kick for goal, no in-shoot more deadly. No voice could more sweetly sing, and once I won a prize for declamation. Yet I am here. I, Rah. And Hank spat, saying, Know you Draft and Twist? Oh, aye, answered Rah, and Tension also and the laying in of Threads in the Reed and the Dyeing of sundry Colors and divers other things. These also I learned in my mother ' s house. Wherefore then should I be your slave? And Hank said, What else do you know? and Rah answered, saying, What else is there to know? and Hank said, Stick around. And the first day there came before them Grump, the Discontent, who spake harshly unto them, cursing with a loud voice and saying, Damn this job and you, and Hank spake softly, saying, What is your counsel, Rah, son of the Queen? And Rah said, Thus would I fire him. Behold, so great would the detonation be that it would be heard even to the Gates of Gotham, and Hank answered, Stick around. Then did Hank, Captain of the Carders, take Grump, the Discontent, and listen to his words and reason with him and arrange his trouble so that Grump departed not, but abode with them and became Pep, the Willing, and learned under Hank, the Captain, and in time himself became Hank, Captain of the Carders. And the second day Hank said unto Rah, Behold now. Rah, the work runneth light. What is your counsel? And Rah answered, Heavy upon it. But Hank heavied not but answered, saying, Stick around. And the third day Hank said unto Rah, Behold now. Rah, the work runneth heavy. What is your counsel? And Rah answered, lighten it ; but Hank lightened not, but answered, saying, Stick around. And yet again the fourth day did Hank say unto Rah, Behold now. Rah, the work run- neth neither light nor heavy, but right on the dot. What is now your counsel? And Rah answered, By the beard I hope to grow, there is more to it than appeareth. And the fifth day Hank said unto Rah, Behold now. Rah, Super, Captain of the Captains, was here desiring that we should put more frames on 3.00-hank. What is your counsel? And Rah answered, Thus would I do. I would take some frames from the 2.oo-hank for the purpose. And Hank said, But thou knowest that we cannot now keep up with the 2.00-hank. How then are we to take from that which we have not? And Rah said, I give it up. Behold my mind is as water which runneth hither and yon, and my tongue as a bell that is broken. You can search me. And Hank answered, saying, Hearken now to my words. It is written that Doubt is the father of Achievement, and Ig- norance the father of Knowledge, but not always. There remaineth the hand maiden, Ambition. Have you see her around here? And Rah pondered these words. Then Hank spake further, saying, Behold now. Rah, we are boneheads and jarheads as thou sayest and no man shall say that we know it not, but do we not each according to the best that is in us? We are as plants cast into rock soil to grow as best we may. The winds that have blown upon us have bent us, the poorness of the soil has stunted us, yet we [99] P I C K O U T bear the best fruits that we can. How, then, are you? Behold, you are as a nursery plant, carefully seeded and tended with care and skill until such time as you are well grown, so that when the time comes for you to take your place with us in the rocky soil of the hillside you shall grow to be a giant among us, branching out well on all sides, the bearer of fine fruits. Yet thou comest before me saying, ' Now shall I go to Squills and be his Chemist, ' which means that you shall return to the nursery and never reach your full growth, but be a seedling all your life, the bearer of no fruits at all, for, believe it or not, it is only in the hard and rocky that you will grow from now on. Shall your mother, the wise queen, point to you with scorn saying, Be- hold, he is no longer my son? ' And Rah cried out, saying, But why am I your slave? and Hank answered, You are no man ' s slave but your own. He who would command must first learn to obey. You are not working for me, nor Super, nor yet for Boss, General of the Host, but only with us that we may direct your work to your own advantage. You work only for Rah, son of a queen, who, it seems to me, is about to lose her son to become the twin brother of Pride and Sloth, which is Futility. Stay with us. Rah. Stay and work and learn and when the winds of experience have broadened your limbs and the hard and rocky soil of ad- versity has given you of its strength and you are well grown and full branched, then will we willingly follow you and serve you well. But, behold now, a little while ago you spake against Grump and would have had him fired, yet wherein are you different from him? What then shall I do with you? And Rah said, By the name of Heck, thou speakest truly. Gimme them wrenches. So Rah dragged on his overalls and went back to work and abode there many days, and Hank, Captain of the Carders, said unto him, Rah, behold I shall make you Wrench, Changer of the Gears, and Rah pondered, saying, You reckon I can run it? And Hank answered, Yea, by my help you shall run it. Then, again, he said unto him, I shall make you second under me. Keeper of the Help. And Rah pondered deeply, saying. You reckon I can run it? and Hank an- swered, Yea, by my help. Then came Super, Captain of the Captains, saying, Behold now. Rah, thou hast done better than we thought. Twist, Captain of the Spinners, has gone to join another host, and you shall stand in his place and be cap- tain. And Rah answered, Lo, Super, I am yet young. Let a better man be cap- tain. And Hank waxed wroth and swore, saying, Where is the young squirt that was going to be the head of the whole works? Get out of here. By my troth, had I known I was trying to raise a doodle instead of something with a backbone I would have run you off long ago. Take then thy hat and boat and beat it quickly ere I slay thee. So Super led him up stairs and there he gave him two swift kicks, saying, See now thou doest this well for your own good lest worse befall thee, and Rah became Captain of the Spin- ners and ruled wisely and in time himself became Super, Captain of the Captains. And after many days he that was Rah stood again before Boss, General of the Host. And Boss said, Rah, son of the queen, be- hold how the strength hast gone from mine hands and the light from mine eyes and I am become an old man. Sit now in my tent and judge in my place that I might end my days in peace. And Rah answered, Not so. And Boss sorrowed at his words and spake, saying, Wherefore now do you fail me in my hour of need? And Rah said, Behold the burden which I already bear is too great for my years. Had it not been for you and Super and Hank and the others, how should I have borne it? Yet you would make it greater. How then shall I bear this also? Let an older man lead us, Boss, a stronger man and an abler, and loyally will I follow him. And it so happened that at that time came Hank, Captain of the Carders, and stood within the door of the tent glaring with a baleful eye and saying, Ahem! in a loud and danger- ous voice and inquiring if there be anyone present with enough good hide on him to make a cone belt, so that Rah ' s heart failed him and his legs became as wax and he cried quickly, Yea, yea, that will I do as thou sayest to the best that is in me. So he abode in the tent of Boss and be- T H E 19 4 1 [ loo] came himself General of the Host and ruled wisely and well. And as the years went on and his fame spread in the land that was the queen ' s there came before him Prex, Ruler of the Queen ' s House, and of the sons that dwelt therein, saying, Lo, the time has now come that many of the queen ' s sons must go out to join the forces that work, even as thou didst many years ago. Come then and speak to them the language of wisdom. And Boss went with his mind full of words, but when he stood before them and looked into their faces who were his brothers as he had been Gimme them wrenches SO long ago his tongue failed him and he spake not, but came away: And when he had returned to his Host there came Hank and he said, Hank, old friend, I have made a fool of myself Behold, I went to speak to Rah, the many sons of the wise queen, and had naught to say. And since I have come away it seems to me that I could not speak because I am no longer their brother Rah, the son of the queen called wise, but have become the son of others. And Hank asked, saying, Whose son, then, are you? And Boss answered, I am your son. Hank, and Super ' s, and the son of Boss who was General before me and of others who have worked here through the years and helped to make me what I am. Yet when I came here I thought to meet with nothing but jealousy and hatred because I was the son of a queen. But instead of pulling me down you have all helped me to grow un- til I have become as you said that I would, a giant among you. Why did you do it, Hank? And Hank answered, Behold, I have enough things blamed on me without this. We have done nothing, for you are now the sons of your own deeds, not ours. As you were your own slave when you came here, so have you now become your own master, fit to be the master of others. See now that you do this well as an example to others. But whatever has been done, you have done it, not I nor Super, nor he that was Boss. And Rah said, It may be that you speak truly. So Hank returned to his own tent and spake with himself, saying, Of course we all made him. He was a fine boy when he forgot about this queen ' s house stuff and we were glad to help him. But let him take to himself all the credit that he may, so that he lose not confidence in himself But if he get over proud I will take him down a peg or two as of old. Yet I and Super and he that was Boss, we know who made him what he is. And his eyes became dim at the thought of the years that were gone and his hands trembled and he spake again, saying, Drat me if I don ' t believe I ' m getting old. If the Boss remembers all I have done for him may- be he ' ll let me keep this job some longer. In the shelter of the mighty oak the weak and scrubby tree weathers the storm, but all the same I hope there don ' t no more of them rah- rah boys come around here. I don ' t feel strong enough to train up any more of ' em.

Certified graduates of High Schools and Academies admitted without examination. For catalogue address CHARLES H. EAMES, S. B., President LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS THE MIRACLE OF MA CUS HO 01 THIRTY YEARS AGO, on December 19, 1910, a group of engineers and scientists gath- ered in a new, unusual plant at Marcus Hook, Pa. This was to be the first commercial pro- duction of a man-made textile fiber in the U. S. Finally, someone gave a signal. Machinery sprang to life. And from the equipment there began to issue slender filaments which were led through a chemical Solution, then col- lected in the form of yarn. A new American textile industry was born! The progress of America ' s rayon industry m the thirty years that have passed since that first successful production in the Marcus Hook Plant of American Viscose Corpora- tion is now history. Rayon has marched steadily ahead as it has made possible new, more beautiful and more durable fabrics. To- day, It employs 49,000 American men and women, and annually produces more than 300 million pounds of yarn. An outstanding ex- ample of American achievement. From the first, American Viscose Corpora- tion has figured prominently in every major development. It pioneered many vital ad- vances for cost reduction, price reduction, and quality improvement. It established the Crown Quality Control Plan to assure con- sumers the quality they want in rayon mer- chandise. It instituted the Textile Unit, a lull-sized textile research plant, in order to better serve the industry. American Viscose Corporation is proud of Its .?0-year record of achievement. And now, embarking on its fourth decade, it pledges continuance of the progressive policies which have stimulated the growth of the American raN ' on industry.

We now use 30,000,000 pounds of it a year This progress takes on special significance as we pass our twenty-fifth anniversary It is typical of the impressive development we have shared with the country ' s Chemical Industry as a whole And we are proud that Calco products contribute so sub- stantially to the nation ' s self-sufficiency of vital materials — not only on the score of quantity, but on the basis of quality as well.

Charlotte, ISf, C m...,. Established 176 TWELVE YEARS before the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence of the United States of America, the Geigy Organization came into existence. Thus, 1941, finds the Geigy Organization one hundred and seventy- seven years old : With that in mind and the fact the organization has shown a conserva- tive and steady growth, it is only reasonable to deduct that Geigy occupies a distinct position in the field of dyestuffs and extracts.

It goes without saying that we wish to thank Professor MacKay for his consideration in humoring our many whims, and for his aid in keeping us within the borders of financial practicability. To our staff, we are indebted for their aid in the preparation of the material, as well as for their numerous helpful suggestions. Credit is due Miss Rosatto for her willingness to help us with drawings, sketches, and general artistic design. To Miss Foote, our thanks for the time and effort which she so cheerfully gave.

That typographic error too small for human eyes Till the ink is on the paper when it grows to mountain size. And the Editor stares in horror and tears his hair and groans, The copyreader drops his head upon his hands and moans. The remainder of the volume may be as clean as clean can be But that typographic error is the only thing you see.
