' ere u r-7 “ Fond memory brings the light Of other days around me . . . ” 55 “Alma Mater , Forever THE 1942 PICKOUT VOLU M E XXXVII PUBLISHED by the SENIOR CLASS LOWELL TEXTILE INSTITUTE Foreword With the approach of the heavy clouds of oppressing Stygian darkness which now threaten to obscure the vision of all peoples, we of the Pickout Board have endeavored to lighten this burden in our very humble way by throwing a beam of “Light” into the night. As the production of similar but, perhaps, longer-lived sparks of “Light” remains the hope of the world, it came about that “Light” was selected as the theme of this hook. It is our hope and desire that the spirit in which this vol- ume was conceived and developed will be transferred to you and will aid in your recollection of the days at L.T.L, which we have attempted to portray. FACULTY SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN FACULTY — a brief visit with those who have guided us through our scholastic trials SENIORS — several pages devoted to jottings about and photos of the members of the graduating class — Class of ’42 UNDERCLASSMEN— a section set aside for the doings of Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen ACTIVITIES— views of the stu- dent governing boards, dramatic society, professional groups, and publications SOCIETIES — a glimpse at the progress made by our fraternal and honorary organizations ATHLETICS — descriptions of this past year’s ventures on the grid- iron, basketball court, diamond and rifle range Contents ACTIVITIES SOCIETIES ATHLETICS Professor Stewart MacKay Dedication In commemoration of his fifteenth anniversary as Fac- ✓ ulty Adviser to the Pickout, we feel especially proud and honored in dedicating this, the thirty-seventh vol- ume to Professor Stewart MacKay — to a man, who for all these years has so cheerfully given of his time and effort that we might succeed in the two-fold purpose of bringing forth a worthwhile, interesting yearbook, and satisfactorily meeting the obligations incurred in the ful- fillment of this task. For his guidance and genuine interest in our progress and well-being, we are of the opinion that this ack- nowledgment is well-founded, and shared by all others who know him. In Memoriam TO THE MEMORY OF GEORGE A. YOUNG Vice-Chairman of the Roard of Trustees of Lowell Textile Institute Mr. Young was appointed by Governor Saltonstall in July of 1940. From this time until his death, he was a member of the Finance Committee, and Chairman of a special Planning Committee to make a study of the needs of the Institute. In August of 1941, he was elected Vice- Chairman of the Board of Trustees. All Textile feels that the passing of Mr. Young has been a great loss to the Institute, for seldom has any col- lege had the good fortune of having so enthusiastic a member on its Roard of Trustees. George A. Young i893- i 94 i “ Into our hands you give the flame immortal , And, by God ' s grace, we know it shall not fair } ) “ Here at your gates, still sa fe within the portal, We light the torch and hear the world ' s far call ” “ shall light a candle of understanding which shall light your path through life ' 1 ' ’ FACULTY President Throughout the present college year it has become increasingly evident with each advancing month that the scho- lastic training of many of the under- graduates would be interrupted by the call of our country for them to join in its defense. To the Seniors the prospects for useful industrial activity have changed into an outlook fraught with experiences which are bound to accom- pany conflicts between nations. In- stead of entering upon life’s work in some industrial, commercial, or pro- fessional capacity where the training of the past four years would prove to be of profit and interesting application, they find themselves in the ranks of armed forces engaged in the defense of those political, social, and economic condi- tions which make normal civilized life possible. Because of the aggravation of jealous- ies among nations and the misapplica- tion of those great potential endow- ments to the human race, the whole world of humanity presents to the Senior a scene of self-destruction rather than one of construction which he had pictured at the completion of his scho- lastic training. Unexpected disruption of the accustomed ways of life and in- dustry has blocked the usual avenues which lead college graduates into those fields of activity that were their goals of ambition. Xow it appears that these obstructions must first be cleared away in order to make the goals attainable. The unforeseen reaction in some pro- cess, the development of miss-picks or weak yarn, the development of dissen- sion in an organization and the devas- tations from some great catastrophe must first be cleared before orderly pro- cedure can be restored and progress stimulated. The great problem of cor- recting the demoralizing conditions which are requiring the human races to waste much of the natural wealth in warfare is before us and to the genera- tion of young people coming from the many schools and colleges is given this task. Those nations which are self-govern- ing rely upon the developed intelligence of its people to regulate interrelations that freedom to think, speak, and act shall be restrained only to the extent that it may cause injury to others. The utmost encouragement and stimulation are given to all efforts of individual and group advancement that the forces which strengthen civilization may have fullest latitude. That nation which is directed by leaders who are far-seeing, clear-minded and magnanimous will not permit any obstructing or deterring factor to prevent this freedom to develop. That those leaving the Institute in the near future may join the supporters of this type of leaders and add their increment to the upbuilding of society, the advance of industry, and the expan- sion of civilization, is the earnest hope of the President, Trustees, and Faculty. 18 Charles H.

With flame of freedom in their souls and light of knowledge in their eyes ” SENIORS Senior Reflections Now that we have finally completed our training at Textile, we at last find ourselves in that ofttime-coveted posi- tion- that of being capable of sinking back in our collective armchair, light- ing up, and dropping into a reverie of these past four years. But as we attempt to do so, we find that it is not without a certain tinge of regret and a slight vacant feeling that we recall our life at L.T.I. It seems only a very short while ago that we were freshmen looking forward to the time when we would be able to “kiss the boys goodbye” — but now that the time has actually arrived, we realize poignantly what a loss graduation will mean — what Textile has come to mean to us. For the school has suddenly en- deared itself to us, whether we openly admit it or not; it has become much more than a building whereto we tramped day after day in the pursuit of knowledge, much more than a place wherein we trained ourselves for future years. It has, as a matter of fact, carved a deep niche in our memories as the source of many a firm and lasting friend- ship. We immediately recall the nu- merous pleasant associations that we have enjoyed as classmates and the fact that we have had a “helluva good time” is all too apparent. The function of the Institute in bringing us together and enabling us to share this comrade- ship is an indispensable one, and one which we cannot easily forget. As we stop a moment in our reflec- tions and look about us, we cannot but think that our numbers have consid- erably depicted — in point of fact there arc less than half the number remain- ing that began work together four years ago. Let’s take a peek at our freshman year. We were introduced to the Insti- tute via Orientation Period and got to know more of it a short while thereafter when we came to grips with the Class of ’41. It was this conflict that did more to cement us together as a united class than anything else at the time. We made a gallant stand against the sophomores — one we can recall with pride and a few chuckles. How can we ever forget the night of the Annual Banquet — the time of hatchet-burying and hurricanes? Nevertheless, studies soon became our major concern and were inter- rupted for only a short time by the play- ful escapades of the fraternity men who managed to snare a goodly number of our crew. . . . Remember the initiation into the mysteries of English and the divider projection methods of mechanical draw- ing? . . . The second term rolled around and in its wake there came a rather sad blow to the Class with the division of our group into the ever- warring fac- tions: Chemists vs. Engineers. This friendly feud was to continue until graduation. Spring came and with it our first memorable Upstream Day and the Tex- tile Show. What a climax to a really happy year! Our second year brings to mind the solidification of friendships, our firm but friendly treatment of the freshman class, and the beginnings of our partici- pation in extracurricular activities. We began to play ball on all three teams, shot with the Rifle Club, wrote for the Pickout and the Text , and became members of the A.A.T.C.C. and the Engineering Society. Needless to say, we cannot forget our struggles in the Stanley Szopa President Francis Smith Vice-president 1 Do n a ld Thomas Secretary Walter Staklinski Treasurer throes of applied mech, stoichiometry, and organic as well as T. C. and D. and calculus. The junior year brought with it the French comb and the hydrogen ion but we gritted our teeth and withstood the onslaught to emerge as Seniors the fol- lowing year. And then came theses and organic lab — and graduation. Graduation ! What a wealth of mem- ories of the past and grave thoughts of the future this word arouses! For we are never again to be united as a class. Furthermore, with the entrance of our country into the world conflagration, a still more intense note of soberness creeps into our reminiscences. Many of us will serve in our nation’s fighting forces, but no matter what we do in the years ahead, we will fondly recall our stay at Textile. As a class, we believe that we have made history at L.T.I. and have added just a bit to the Insti- tute’s traditional spirit — a spirit which we hope will be maintained by our ' followers. Class Officers President STANLEY SZOPA Vice-president FRANCIS D. SMITH Secretary DONALD H. THOMAS Treasurer WALTER A. STAKLINSKI Rrepresentative .JOHN A. MURPHY 35 ERNEST HERBERT ALLARD Delta Kappa Phi; Captain Tennis Team: Interfraternity Bowling. Making history as the third of his clan to give L.I.T. a break, Ernie de- cided to see what was going on in chem and dyeing. A versatile guy, he swings one of the meanest tennis rackets in town and toots the sax full merrily. LEONARD H. BAER Alpha Epsilon; Text; Executive Council; Editor-in-Chief, Pickout; Engineering Society. Silent Lenny, the fellow with the flashing grin, hails from the little town of New York. Besides being our authority on Esquire , Lenny is noted for his betraying 4 ‘shot” of the year. This year he’s the little man behind the Pick- out. our hard-to-please editor. RAYMOND GEORGE BOULE Delta Kappa Phi; Baseball; A.A.T.C.C. Another son of Lowell and the Class of ’42 is Ray, an outstanding example of a good student as well as a real unselfish pal. Along with his hard, earnest studying he has become an ardent music lover and a prospective Ensign U.S.N.R. GEORGE H. BROOK Phi Psi: Interfraternity Council; Engineering Society. Dynamite certainly comes in small packages. Brother of John, he wan- dered down from Canada to show us what Canadians were made of. Georgie is a great sport, and a swell little gunner. One of his favorite passions is wear- ing bright red plaids in any form. ?fi JOHN F. BROOK Phi Psi; Engineering Society; Class President 3, Interfraternity Council Better known as J. B. or F. H., John is President of Phi Psi Fraternity, and as such, sets the standards for his fraternity brothers. Brother John has been at Textile for four years, and has lost no time in accomplishing his de- sires. DOUGLAS W. BULSOX Omicron Pi; Class Baseball; Class Football; Engineering Society; Com- mencement Committee; Business Manager, Pickout. Watch the Fords go by, and when a model T passes, look closely, Doug is probably driving it. With an inexhaustible talent for making money, we acknowledge this ability, since Doug has acted as business manager of the Pickout, and done a swell job of it. PHILIP DANIEL CAINE Secretary, Vice-president, Textile Players. Back in 1938, Phil, a product of the Highlands, made his collegiate debut. His good nature and dreamy eyes have made the heart of many a fair damsel beat faster — and vice versa when he assumes roles at the Textile Show. WILLIAM BURTON COFFIN Basketball Burt, who exemplifies a six-fool-four-inch chunk of real unselfish person- ality, is “looked up to” by everyone who knows him. His ever-present, assuring calmness as well as a drawling sense of humor will always be closely linked with this Melrose chemist. 37 LEONARD ROBERT CORCORAN A.A.T.C.C. Lenny’s hidden source of clever ideas has been a mystery to all his class- mates. But it’s no mystery why he enjoyed driving to school from Haverhill — what with that load of babes from State Teachers. The best of luck to you, Len! DAVID DOLGE Omicron Pi: Football: Textile Players: Interfraternity Bowling. Dave, the Champ of Stayer-Uppers, and King of the telephone at 406, has worn out more than a dozen transmitters. Besides being a nice fellow who really acts the part, we’ve had an enjoyable time coursing through classes together. ALBERT EICHNER Rifle Club; Engineering Society. If it’s an unmentionable national song or folk tune you’d like to hear, Al is just the person to see. One of the more prominent members of our Rifle team, he can be found there at most times of the afternoon. Just practising up? EDITH KE 1 RSTEAD GARNETT Phlaine: Text; Pickout; Commencement Committee. “Edie,” a follower of journalism and the Pickout, will remain in our memory as the possessor of a charming personality. As luck would have it, that’s all that will remain with us, for Stan has been quicker on the draw. 38 DAVID ORVILLE HAMER, JR. Della Kappa Phi; Tau Epsilon Sigma, Editor, Text; Commencement Committee; A.A.T.C.C.; Interfraternity Basketball, Softball, Bowling. Dave, who is a product of the “pastures,” has acquired a long list of pretty snappy numbers since his escape four years ago. As the possessor of “that school-girl complexion” and a willingness to work at anything, “Buster” will long be remembered. CYRIL NEWCOMB HARPER Baseball; Interclass Football; A.A.T.C.C. Cy, although tending to be quiet and studious, has made himself recog- nized through his cheerful and cooperative nature. A devotee of the chem labs. Cy took time out from his dye pots and test tubes only long enough to report for baseball practice. CARL W. HARRIS Omicron Pi: Football. Carl is another of our three-year men, who has definitely been a valuable asset to the class. A truly quiet charm and overpowering personality has put him in the ranks of regular fellows. Our co-eds regret that he’s not twins. ROBERT C. HASELTINE Omicron Pi; Interfraternity Council. Valiant is the word for Bob, who came to Lowell four long years ago from up northern Haverhill way. A fine fraternity man, and quite a way about his actions has made Bob stand out. No doubts exist as to how successful he will be in the future. 39 ROBERT A. HUNTER Omicron Pi; Tau Epsilon Sigma. Our “little genius’ ’ as he is commonly known as around the Institute hails from dear Lowell. Better and more often called “Blackie,” has one of the finest examples of that famed five o’clock shadow. Bob is still quite a mystery man even to O . Pi . GEORGE KENT Tennis, Engineering Society. George is the only true fashion plate that we can boast, and the different seasons are heralded by his clothes. Great Neck, is his home town, and well is George proud of fair Long Island. Best of luck, and fair sailing ahead to you. CHING SUT LAU Engineering Society. Our far-east friend, Lau, has been commonly known to us as the father of many daughters. Quiet and timid are the best words that describe him. But seems everything was not so quiet that day in a certain class when he was caught by a certain trap. LELAND SUNG LIANG Omicron Pi; Tennis Team; Commencement Committee; Engineering Society. Lee, the “boss” of the Cotton Department, is very professional looking in his spotless overalls about the Lab. With a smile and an appropriate proverb for every occasion, it’s been fun having him as a member of the class. Good luck, Lee. 4 ° W ALTER LISIEX Basketball: Baseball: Executive Council: Class Vice-president 2. 3: Tex- tile Cabinet: A.A.T.C.C.: Athletic Representative. The mere mention of Walter ' s name brings to mind everything that ' s tops — both in studies and in athletics. His serious but friendly nature is coupled with a thorough conscientiousness that has been the wonderment of his classmates for four years. ROBERT WALLACE McCARTXEY Phi Psi; Tau Epsilon Sigma; Interfraternitv Baseball. Basketball: A.A.T. c.c. In spite of his ability to be heard in all portions of the Institute simul- taneously, in those oratorical outbursts enriched with his 4 ' rare Scottish humor, Mac has succeeded handsomely in maintaining excellent grades and in doing all things conscientiously. DOUGLAS H. McELHIXXEY Omicron Pi: Textile Players Management. From Caldwell, New Jersey, to be exact is where Doug hails from. Active in both fraternal and school activities, he is well-liked in numerous circles. When Doug decides to finally settle down, we wish him all the luck he de- serves . GEORGE JOHX MAXD 1 KOS Delta Kappa Phi; A.A.T.C.G.: Rifle Club: PiCKOtrr. After absorbing all that Haverhill High had to offer, WMandy ' moved in to see what Textile had in the way of knowledge. In attaining excellence in his studies, he has managed to form a double-salt with ‘ k Doc Pangie.’ ' 4 1 ARTHUR JOSEPH MOREAU Delta Kappa Phi: Rifle Team: A.A.T.C.C.: Pickout; Interfraternity Bowling. That galloping marathon walker tearing through the halls of Textile is really not Superman, but none other than our own “Renfrew of ’42.” A follower of photography, radio, and eteetera, then Art has nevertheless “hit” his eourses- — and hit them hard. JOHN ANTHONY MURPHY Delta Kappa Phi; A.A.T.C.C.: Executive Couneil; Interfraternity Soft- ball, Basketball; Interfraternity Council. An honor student at Keith Aeademy “Murph” maintained a fine seho- lastie record at Textile, and earned for himself “a reputation that men ad- mire and women search for.’ ’John’s bright personality as well as his partici- pation in lunehroom athletics, are easily recalled. PAUL FRANCIS NOONAN Delta Kappa Phi; Tau Epsilon Sigma; Interfraternity Basketball, Bowling . “Gus,” the candy kid, has made his stay at Textile a memorable one, and leaves behind him many friends. Outstanding seholastie ability and the knack of selling us practically anything under the sun are Paul’s distinguish- ing, but unforgettable characteristics. MORTON LEWIS OPPENHE1M Football: Engineering Society; Commencement Committee; Pickout. W hen it comes to filibustering, there are very few persons who would offer to stand for that length of time, some wouldn’t even sit for so long a time. It can be said that Morty does really believe that Lawrenee, his home town is the best eitv in the U. S. 42 VASIL JAMES PAPPAS Delta Kappa Phi: Tau Epsilon Sigma. 4 4 Pap” may have entered the Institute as a shy, quiet lad some four years ago but oh you kid, what a change! Nevertheless, Bill has endeared to us by virtue of his sharp sense of humor and his gift for clever repartee. HERBERT PESETZKY Executive Council; Basketball; Pickout. Her by heralds from the Bronx, and it’s wondered how he didn ' t miss Lowell when he first drove up this way. One of the best men to ever play on our basketball team, Herby will leave an excellent record as an athlete when graduation day rolls around. CAROLINE ELIZABETH PRATT Phlame. Betty’s presence has added a feminine touch to the Class that we have all appreciated in spite of our continual kidding and stuff. . .especially stuff. Her knowledge of politics and the finer points of the language will surely be of great future assistance. WOODBURY HOLMES RAND Rifle Club; Commencement Committee. “Woodie” did time at Harvard, and will admit the same, but has since reformed .. .everything except his jokes, liven an Englishman coulcl not be blamed for the absence of laughter. A hard worker, and a line chap to know, we’ve enjoyed coursing classes together. DUSTIN RAWLINSON Phi Psi; Football; A.A.T.C.C. “Dud,” a smooth, clean-cut gentleman can hardly be recognized as a product of the “sticks,” but he will certainly do O.K. as an ensign, U.S. N.R. His long stride and floor-rocking laugh will always be associated with this native of New Hampshire. RUSSELL FREDERICK ROBERTS Phi Psi; Manager of Book Store; Golf Team; Baseball; Engineering So- ciety. It took Russ three years to finally become keeper of the. . . .’s Den, and we must admit his capability at the job. Being manager of the Coop, has kept him busy, but we hear that Russ has quite a charm over the fair sex, and claims that practice is the answer. Maybe? DAVID ROGOFF Alpha Epsilon; Engineering Society; Pickout. Dave won ' t admit that he’s from Boston, claims it’s Mattapan, and we’ve given up arguing. After four years, who wouldn’t. Seems that “Rogy” wouldn’t talk to any of us the first year, but apparently changed his mind and is a nice fellow to know — he always has the homework? ZENON ANTHONY ROUMAS Basketball; Class Baseball; A.A.T.C.C. A sincere, quiet classmate but possessed of a mischievous spirit, “Roumic,” boasts of a certain chubbiness and membership in the Dud-Zeno combine. Although few of us had ever heard of Peabody before, Zenon certainly made it obvious that the place is a reality. 44. CHARLES RODNEY SANDNER Phi Psi; A.A.T.C.C. “Chuckie” is a fellow whom we can all recall as being “one damned swell guy 5 His happy nature and smiling personality could charm anyone, but we understand that he remains true to the “one-and-only’ back in Law- rence. GEORGE MORSE SANFORD, JR. Engineering Society; Pickout. History has it that “Georgie” was out walking in his home town, Malden, and wound up at Lowell Textile. Be it as it may, it has been fun having him in classes. Latest reports have it that Georgie is quite an indoor athlete, but a certain professor claims otherwise. CLIFFORD ELIAS SCHIFFER Football; Basketball; A.A.T.C.C., Chairman Membership Committee. The hurricane of ’38 blew in with Cliffie — and it took nothing less than a hurricane to do it. A profound thinker but, more often a conscientious dreamer, Cliff’s happy-go-lucky nature and contageous grin have always been the envy of us all. WILLIAM SCHILLER Engineering Society; Rifle Team. Bill has appeared to be one of the busiest men at the Institute, but there are those who know better. Since his arrival, he has been a prominent mem- ber of our Rifle team, and done quite a job in match contests. Keep shooting high, and best of luck kid. 4r STEWART FREDERIC SHAFTER Omicron Pi; A.A.T.C.C. A permanent smile splattered all over his face serves as Stew’s distinguish- ing feature. Although not too much is known about his contact with the fairer sex, it is a safe bet to assume that he’s probably cornered the market. JEFFREY S. SHAPIRO Alpha Epsilon; Rifle Club; Engineering Society; Interfraternity Council: Interclass Football. Jeff is the fellow who came to Textile to prove that ‘ ‘Latins are not lousy lovers.” Perhaps there is doubt as to how successful he was, but he claims not. W ith a vocabulary full of wit and Spanish. Jetf has made a deep impression upon us. FRANCIS DUNHAM SMITH Tau Epsilon Sigma: Engineering Society; Textile Cabinet: Vice-president Senior Class. From the frigid, cold woods of Maine “Smitty” found refuge and educa- tion in Lowell. With his platinum blonde hair, and those ultra-bright red shirts, we wonder that the cold could have driven him down this way. A smart fellow, and great friend, we wish him luck. WALTER ALBERT STAKLINSKI Tau Epsilon Sigma; Treasurer Senior Class; Textile Cabinet; Executive Council; Commencement Committee; Engineering Society; Baseball; Basketball. Stak claims that actions speak louder than words, and has shown us how to do it since he came to Textile. One of the best liked chaps at school, Stak is a hard worker, and was an unfailing member of the basketball, and base- ball teams during his stay at the Institute. 4 g STANLEY SZOPA Tau Epsilon Sigma; Class Treasurer I , Secretary 2, 3, President Senior Class; Executive Council: Secretary A.A.T.C.G. 4; President Textile Cab- inet. “Szop,” otherwise known as the turkey-raiser of Christian Hill, has carved what is, perhaps, the deepest of impressions in our minds, by virtue of his long stories and tall ' ‘tales” as well as his constant application to both class duties and studies. DONALD HENRY THOMAS Class Secretary; President Textile Cabinet; A.A.T.C.C.

From the stone and steel of New York City, “Bud” entered L.T.I. and has made rapid progress in his endeavor to seek 4 ‘higher learning.” One of his pet fascinations is organic chemistry — a course in which he actually manages occasionally to absorb some of Pangie’s splurges. “ And so, Farewell ” “ Walk and Learn while ye have the light lest darkness come upon you all too soon ’ ’ UNDERCLASSMEN Class of 1943 In September, 1941 a slightly-dim- inished Junior Class returned to the Textile quadrangle to resume their activities as students of chemistry and engineering in the second largest in- dustry of the U.S.A. With the threat of war hanging over the country, we set out with the prime objective with reaching the last stage of the game — that of a Senior. This was quite an objective too, for we had been warned many a time by the experi- enced Seniors of the numerous pitfalls and dangers scattered throughout the third year studies. The mere mention of such courses as physical chem, worsted manufacture, economics, or- ganic chem, heat, and electricity is sufficient to refrigerate one’s circulatory system. Having set out in the above venture, however, we were somewhat taken aback by the attack on Pearl Harbor. We began to wonder whether or not we would ever attain the noble stature of the Senior and obtain those valuable sheepskins bearing the degrees of B.T.E. and B.T.C., as well as those Back Row: Hagertv, Tyrie, Foisy, Roberts, Teichner, Taylor, Griffin, Fuller, Donnelly, Silberstein Third Row: Glen, Coulman, Valente, Magat, Garnett, Siegel, McNellis, Kelly, Petricek, Haggerty Second Row: Foster, Goldberg, Howard, Brilliant, Queeney, Kennedy, Beuter, Messer, Kittay, Hochschild Front Row: Sullivan, Rowen, Zenorini, Miss Davis, Johnson, DeMallie, Miss O’Leary, Schlesinger, Krintzman 52 John Johnson President Peter DeMaillie Vice-President Esther Davis Secretary Henry Zenorini Treasurer coveted diplomas for the manufac- turers.

Our Class President, Johnny Johnson and several of our other classmates, namely Dick Garnett, Jack Morton, Morty Murray, Jimmy Wall, and Eddie Wielicka are already enrolled in the course. At this point it seems an eternity to graduation. Certainly, many of our classmates will not return to the Insti- tute for the coming year. However, we are confident in our ability as a group to remain a harmonious unit, no mat- ter what the odds, and to become ' a credit to Textile. Class Officers President JOHN T.

For, as is the universal wont of sopho- mores, we have been busily engaged during the first part of the year in the disciplining of those unmentionables often known as “freshmen.” We believe that we were very successful in this task but the Frosh will probably tell you otherwise. Don’t believe a word of it! That, however, is getting a little ahead of our story. During the latter half of the summer vacation many of us were yearning (although few of us will admit it) to get back to the Institute, where we had a pleasant experience during our freshman year. This, believe it or not, is true in spite of such Inquisi- tional tortures as English and Stoi- chiometry. But (fools that we were) we weathered the storms and were rarin’ to go until Applied Mech and Organic took some of the wind out of our sails.

However, the Class was not only active in athletics but participated in other extracurricular activities as is well-testified by the presence of Phil MacLean, Lawrence Hallett, Alan Cherenson, and Milt Jay in the ranks of the Textile Players. Although our group has been some- what decreased in number by the en- listments of Jimmy Silk, Bob Magown, John Merrill, and Alvin Mitchell, we hope to continue next year in the pat- tern which we have thus far created for ourselves.

GODET 55 j Class of 1945 Gathered together from several sec- tions of the country, some eighty of us Freshmen entered the portals of L.T.I. on September 18, 1941. We were in- ducted into the Orientation Period by our faculty advisor. Prof. James G. Dow, and felt “pretty good” to find that the Fifth Annual All-College Ban- quet would be held in our honor the following week. After Orientation period the Sopho- mores lost no time in getting after us. It appears that the Sophs were a bit afraid of us because they were forced to employ the aid of the Juniors in order to put us through the customary hazing routine. The Sophs’ ultimatum stated that we were to wear the traditional red “beanies,” black sweater, and tie. We were told to enter the Institute by the “Freshman Entrance” and to march in single file through the corri- Back Row: Gilman, Meyer, Siegel, Viau, Landry, Milgrim, Baum, Stroup, McKnifF, Axelrod, Chase, T.

The traditional annual classic, the Freshman-Sophomore football game was soon staged. The contest ended in a scoreless tie with both teams fighting for all they were worth. However, the second-year men beat us at basketball by a score of 42-29 after a desperate struggle on our part to terminate the interclass hostilities. We were royally treated by the fra- ternity men, and many of us received bids, but the week of December 5 proved that we were just being “fat- tened for the kill,” as we went through Hell for seven days. Already the War has affected our class for, whereas we began last Sep- tember with eighty-two students (?), only sixty-seven of us remained. Several are already in the Service. Because of the critical times ahead, we cannot, of course, foretell what yill occur, but it is certain that all of us can look back to our first year at Textile with the realization that it was an en- joyable and eventful one.

A call for copy, then, “Who took that picture?” and, “Why can ' t you get shots of the bowling match?” followed by “Tell Andover they’ll have it in the morning,” or Did those glossies come through yet?” are just a few examples of what the inquisitive, behind-the PiCKOUT-door seeker may find. For us, it has been a trying year — a year in which we have attempted to bring out, so far as we are able to ascer- tain, the earliest yearbook in Textile’s history. Because of the prevalent world conditions and the consequent shorten- ing of the school year, we were at times Back Row: Mandikos, RogofF, Oppenheim, Siegel, Schwartz, Langer, Hochschild, Goldberg Front Row: Miss Davis, Wolf, Baer, Prof. MacKay, Bulson, Mrs. Garnett 60 Leonard Baer Ed i tor- in-Ch ief Douglas Bulson Business Manager Prof. Stewart Mackay Faculty Advisor fearful about this year’s appearance of the yearbook. But, in spite of our haste we have in no way intentionally lowered previous standards or shortened the book. How- ever, we have somewhat changed the layout by including more pictorials and more candid pictures — an innovation which we believe will be generally ap- proved by the student body. An at- tempt has been made to give the annual more “swing” by reducing the amount of reading matter — but not beyond the point where factual information would have to be omitted. To unite the various elements of the publication, we have se- lected what we believe to be a particu- larly appropriate theme — Light. By word and picture we have en- deavored to depict accurately, complete- ly, and interestingly the 1941-42 year at Lowell Textile Institute. In carrying on this task, we have had a “swell” time and hope you do, too, in reading the Pickout. If, in turning its pages, you find that you are able to recall viv- idly your experiences and associations at L.T.I., we shall feel that our efforts have been usefully directed.

The newspaper has endeavored to comment only upon events directly related to the school- its interest, and its activities. Otherwise a definite “hands off” attitude has been preserved. Credit is due the staff for its fine cooperation with regards to making The Text a worthwhile publication as well as for the generous efforts and supervision of the faculty adviser, Prof. James G. Dow. No daily classroom happenings, bits of persona] sarcasm, burlesquing of certain individuals, or “slush” have appeared in its columns. Other improvements include a better, bigger and new Fraternity Page, a re- vised system of leads and headlines, and a greater cooperation between staff and Alumni. It has been an extremely difficult task to recruit new men with ability for this year’s staff, and to initiate them into the desired well-knit, fast, and Back Row: Kennedy, Rowen, Stroup, Viau, King Front Row: Miss Davis, Richardson, Prof. Dow, Hamer, Zenorini, Miss O ' Leary 62 David Hamer Henry Zenorini Editor Business Manager Prof. James Dow Faculty Adviser smooth coordination. This year’s paper was not a finished product, journalistic- ally speaking, but it had good features. With the continued cooperation of its staff and the enthusiastic support of the student body, The Text will rapidly develop into a newspaper which is ex- pected of L.T.I. Although prospects for a successful student newspaper at the Institute were anything but cheerful in September, 1941, events shaped themselves into line with considerable aid from the staff, so that in June, 1942, The Text will have at least concluded a successful year. Faced with the problems of a bi- weekly publication, a skeleton staff re- maining from the previous year, a war, with the resultant shortage of paper, and the prospect of losing one of its ed- itors to the country’s armed forces, The Text viewed matters unflinchingly. Naturally, a daily college newspaper —student or otherwise — is able to print up-to-the-minute, clear, concise news of momentary interest. A bi-weekly pub- lication must, of necessity, resort par- tially to summarization. In view of this apparent fact, much of the criticism of The Text is unwarranted. The Text Staff Editor DAVID O.

A Slight Case of Murder is the story of Remy Marko (played by Allan H. Cherenson), ex-racketeer, who is now owner of the legitimate Marko Brewery, and his social-climbing wife, Nora (who is “lovely” Philip E. MacLean). Nora is trying to marry her daughter, Mary (John L. Hallett) to Chancellor Whitelaw (virile Matthew A. Kennedy), scion of a wealthy New ' York family. Theodore Whitelaw (Claude H. Al- lard), father of Chancellor, is a guest of the Markos, and is “nobly” entertained by Remv’s gangster friends, especially “Lefty” (Milton J. Jay), Giuseppe (Edward J. Rowen), and “Alike” (Rob- ert W. McCartney), all of whom arc now serving as servants of the Markos; and the year’s “prize” orphan of the Star of Hope Orphanage, Tyrone Pow- er Goldberg, portrayed by the year’s Back Row: S.

At the time of the story Marko is financially embarrassed and is about to lose his brewery to the bank, which holds a mortgage. An armored truck is held up and the robbers hide in the Marko house. During a card game, one of the robbers kills the other four and hides the money. When the Markos find the corpses, they distribute them among their enemies by leaving a corpse on the doorstep of anyone they dislike. The money is found by Tyrone, Marko uses it to pay off the mortgage, and there is the usual happy ending. The able supporting cast includes J.

The purpose of the Lowell Textile student section of the American Asso- ciation of Textile Chemists and Color- ists is to bring its members into 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 industry such as cannot be thoroughly covered in the classroom lectures. The officers of the Association for the year 1941-42 are Ernest P. James, Chairman; and Stanley Szopa, Secre- tary. The program committee consists of the following: Robert McCartney, Chairman; Donald Thomas, and Ar- thur Teichner. During this past year, Mr. William Chace of L.T.I. gave an interesting talk on enzymes and their uses in the textile industry, while Mr. Herbert Wilkinson, technical director of the Southbridge and Sturbridge Printing and Finishing Companies, presented a technicolor film on color printing. 66 Engineering Society The scope and purpose of the Textile Engineering Society is to familiarize the students in all engineering courses with the fundamental problems ac- tually encountered in mills. Bi-weekly lectures are planned by the officers of the organization; at such lectures, first-hand information is given to the students by men experienced in the problems in the textile industry. Field trips to various well-known plants are part of the organizations program. Ar- rangements for such trips are made by the heads of different departments in conjunction with the officers of the So- ciety. Thus, these trips, coupled with the lectures, should give the student of engineering a true idea of what to expect in active work in the industry. The officers, elected at a meeting held near the beginning of the year, are: Ralph P. Webb, President; Sam G. Fuller, Vice-President; and Matthew A. Kennedy, Secretary and Treasurer.

The members are chosen in order to represent the varied interests of the individual members of the class, so that an interesting and diversified program may be presented. This year, because of the national emergency, the usual week-long activities preceding Commencement have been consider- ably curtailed. Because of this reason and the fact that the Class of ’42 will be graduated a month earlier, the work of the committee has been made much more difficult. However, under the di- rection of Prof. Wells, Mr. Carlson, and Stanley Szopa, the committee has been further divided into subcommittees. The subcommittees and their chair- men are as follows: Budget, Morton 68 Oppenheim; Entertainment, Leland Liang; Printing, Douglas Bulson; Pub- licity, Dave Hamer; Transportation, Woodbury Rand; and Food, John Murphy. The officers of the Commencement Committee are Stanley Szopa, general chairman; Mrs. Edith K. Garnett, sec- retary; and Walter Staklinski, treasurer.

Cushing, consists of a cross-section of the Textile student body. In an attempt to obtain a diversified viewpoint, the Council has been made up of the presi- dent of each class, captains of all ath- letic teams, editor of the Pickout, and the president of the Textile Players. At the first meeting held this year, the following officers were elected: Johnny Johnson, President; Walter Staklinski, and Georges Cordeau, Vice- presidents; and Ed Rowen, Secretary. The primary purpose of the Council is to award letters, sweaters, and gold footballs to deserving members of our athletic teams. It is upon authorization of the Council that awards may be pro- posed and distributed by Prof. Cushing. The second purpose of the organization is of equal importance and consists in assembling all the data necessary for the successful planning of our traditional Upstream Day. With Commencement scheduled for May 5, it has already been decided by the Council that the annual outing shall again be held at Canobie Lake Park shortly after Grad- uation; it is hoped that graduated Seniors will be able to attend although the curtailment of the school year has necessitated the selection of such a date. During the past few years, the Execu- tive Council has been the “forgotten man” of Textile. Nevertheless, a care- ful consideration will reveal that the Council possesses great potentialities as a powerful instrument for student welfare and, as such, deserves the sup- port of all Textilites.

The Council is composed of the president and a delegate from each of the four fraternities. Prof. F. E. Baker is the faculty advisor. The office of President of the Council itself is rotated each year. Arthur Teichner of Alpha Epsilon was the holder of that office for the past year. As its first achievement, the Council established a new set of rules for the rushing and pledging of freshmen. Care was taken to avoid conflicting dates among the fraternities for rushing and pledging activities, although the last week of rushing was “free” week. As usual, the All-School Banquet was sponsored and supported by the fraternities in conjunction with the Council. Another activity of the Coun- cil was the drawing up of schedules for the basketball and bowling tourna- ments. These interfraternity athletic contests were followed with great in- terest by the student body. It is the earnest hope of the Council that, since it has succeeded so well in initiation and sporting affairs, it will be able, in years to come, to broaden its scope and influence concerning the sponsoring of more interfraternity af- fairs. The feeling has been expressed that Textile might again have inter- fraternity dances which would be at- tended by the same numbers who de- rive so much enjoyment from the school dances and the Textile Show. 7 ° Textile Cabinet For many years there was, at Textile, the need of an organization to which all petitions and grievances of the stu- dent body might be submitted for con- sideration and solution. To fill this need, the Textile Cabinet was formed two years ago. On October 27, 1939, Prof. James G. Dow called the members of the Cabinet together for the first meeting. The membership is made up of the four elected officers of each class as well as all former officers who are still en- rolled as undergraduates. Miss Esther A. Davis, ’43, is the Secretary of the Cabinet. The objectives of the Cabinet may be stated as follows: a clearing-house and a forum for the discussion of stu- dent opinion, criticism, and sugges- tions and the presentation of petitions and recommendations to President Eames; a permanent organization for arranging social and other functions which are to be operated on an all- college basis; a class in parliamentary law in order that the officers may con- duct their own meetings in the proper manner; and an organization for en- couraging and promoting Textile spirit. During the time the Cabinet has been in operation, it has proved its worth many times. Through its efforts the following have been accomplished: Class membership cards are given now as receipts for payment of dues; Seven All-Textile Dances have been held with a larger attendance each time; A nickel- odeon has been purchased; it will be used at assemblies and informal parties. It is the hope and goal of the Cabinet that all undergraduates will cooperate for mutual good and for the good of the Institute.

The Sorority aims to promote sistership among the co-eds; to encourage mutual aid among them in their “man-sized” work; to accomplish as much work of a charitable nature as is possible; to pro- mote a large number of pleasurable social events; to be a credit to L. T. I. Phlame Sorority, which is the only textile sorority in the country, was founded in 1937 at this institution by seven co-eds, whose aim was that their infant organization, like the flame from which it was named would increase in strength and size until, eventually, it would be an inspiration to the co-eds in other textile schools throughout the country to form similar organizations. At an informal initiation at the be- ginning of the year, Anne Blackwell served in the dual role of victim and entertainer, while Barbara Fox acted as hostess. Later in the year, both Bar- bara MacDonald and Edith K. Garnett served as hostesses at parties. To honor the newly-wed Edith K. Garnett, Isa- belle Haggerty officiated as hostess at a sorority shower held in her behalf. A formal initiation, sleigh-ride, and a sorority-and-escorts party completed the social program. 74 Founded and Established at Lowell Textile Institutes in 7977 OFFICERS President Vice-president Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Treasurer Edith Keirstead Garnett Barbara MacDonald Esther Davis Virginia Nath Caroline Betty Pratt Miss Ruth Foote SPONSORS Mrs. Louis Olney SORORS IN HONORARE Phyllis J.

When rushing period ended, the Fraternity had pledged ten men. The pledgees were subsequently subjected to Hell Week but all managed to survive. Soon thereafter, the new members were the guests of the Fra- ternity at a formal dinner-dance held in the Rex Penthouse on December 13. The next day they were inducted. A short time after the successful National Convention held in Boston during New Year’s week had adjourned, AE held its annual elections. Victorious candidates were Morton Schlesinger, Master; George Hochschild, Lieuten- 76 ant Master; Irv Smoler, Scribe; Dick Simon, Corresponding Scribe; and Herb Goldberg, Exchequer. On March 27 the fratres participated in Alpha Epsilon Night at the Lowell Hebrew Community Center. Services were conducted by the Fraternity, and Morton Schlesinger gave a short speech. During the year, Alpha Epsilon ran many successful dances. These were climaxed by the annual interfraternity basketball tournament held at Tufts College on April 4. A week later the Annual Stag Banquet took place at the fraternity house. The guests were Prof. Charlie Edlund, Rusty Yarnall, and Prof. F. E. Baker.

Omicron Pi Omicron Pi Fraternity, still holding to all its traditional functions in spite of the War, enjoyed an exceedingly successful season this past year. If any- thing, this emergency served to bring an even greater success to the organization. The social program provided a regu- lar series of novel parties and dances. Soon after the Annual Freshman Hay- ride in November, an Autumn Formal was held at the Rex Roof Garden. Shortly thereafter, the fraternity house was temporarily converted into a gambling den for Monte Carlo Night; shuttered windows, candles in bottle- necks, and all the accompanying props were most apparent. A New Year ' s Party, Blackout Party, and several in- formal parties followed. The House Party, as is usual, provided a memor- able week-end. An excellent time was afforded by the elaborate Venison Banquet with “Doc” Hamilton as Chief Hunter and Toastmaster. Nine new men were pledged and initiated, truly going through Hell, with all tortures designed and patented by Johnny Johnson. The active member- ship roster has been somewhat decreased by (he fact that a number of under- graduates, as well as recent graduates, have enlisted in the armed forces. 7 « Founded and Established at Lowell Textile Institute , in igo2 OFFICERS Ate ho n Arthur T.

A greater part of the past two terms has been spent in fixing and improving the house; many of the rooms have been painted and papered, while other gen- eral improvements have been made. The Fraternity has planned and car- ried out a large number of successful parties. One of these was an Alumni Party held in April in honor of the Bos- ton Alumni Chapter. The Formal Dinner-Dance held on April 18 at the 80 Nashua Country Club was a great suc- cess. Paul Durbin’s band was again obtained and his music helped in every- one’s spending a very pleasant evening. Due to the large number of men from out of town who were recently inducted into the Fraternity, the mem- bers are looking forward to a most suc- cessful year in 1942-43. Many of the men inducted this year are planning to move into the fraternity house next term — a factor which should help start a banner year. For the completion of such a success- ful annual program, thanks are due to President John Brook for his splendid job in directing Fraternity affairs.

Its success was due in no small part to its energetic officers. Delta Kappa Phi was represented in all forms of extra-curricular activities. Several of its members were elected to Tau Epsilon Sigma, the honor so- ciety, and some were the recipients of scholarships. The Rush Banquet for freshmen was held at the Rex Penthouse on October 29. The affair was attended by about twenty freshmen who thoroughly en- joyed the fine dinner. Several faculty brothers and officers spoke. On November 14, the annual pledge day at Textile, Delta Kappa Phi re- ceived the most returned and accepted bids. About a month later, the “scrimes” were put through their in- itiation routines with great success. The pledges who survived the initiation were honored with a pledge dance held at the Rex Penthouse at the beginning of this year. The Second Annual Banquet and Reunion was held at the Hotel Ken- more. It was attended by active mem- bers from all chapters, as well as by a host of alumni. At this time, the pledges were given the third degree, and thus became full Hedged members. 82 Beta Chapter Established at Textile , igoj Founded at Philadelphia Textile School , igo2 OFFICERS Consul John A.

Membership in the society is open to all degree candidates who have maintained a high scholastic standing for a minimum of three years. Under the directorship of Prof. Gilbert R. Merrill, the organization is constantly increasing its number of members. MEMBERS David O. Hamer Robert Hunter Ernest James Robert McCartney Paul Noonan Morton L. Oppenheim Vasil J.

Back Row: Coach Yarnall, Wilkinson, Kaplan, Manager Rowen, Simon, Messer, Prof. Cushing Front Row: Leshowitz, Lisien, Staklinski, Pesetzky, Moore, Coffin, McKniff Basketball Despite several bad breaks and an exceptionally difficult schedule, the 1941-42 Textile basketball team suc- ceeded in completing the best season since 1936. The boys had all the at- tributes of a great basketball team. They rose to great heights time and again to come from behind and turn certain defeat to gallant victory. In the curtain raiser against Fitch- burg Teachers, the boys, paced by the unerring accuracy of Jimmy Silk and Herb Pesetzky, helped roll up an im- pressive total of sixty-nine points to vanquish the invading Teachers, 69-41. The victory apparently gave the team a little too much confidence, for, in our next time out, we dropped one to Providence College, 63-34. Of this it can be said that we won a moral vic- tory, as the Providence five leaped into national prominence by winning their next nine games, averaging in the neighborhood of seventy points a game. The Textilites came back with venge- ance, however, trouncing New Bedford Textile. 64-23, and Farmington Nor- mal, 78-36, bringing our four-game average up to sixty-one points a game. The next time out our boys lost a heartbreaker to American Internation- al, 56-52. At half-time the score stood 23-23. It was a nip-and-tuck battle all the way, and as the final whistle blew, the score was again tied — this time at 50 all. As the game soared into over- time, our boys, tired as they were, were able to make only two points to A.I.C.’s six, the final score standing Textile 52, A.I.C., 56. This game must have taken a bit out of the squad for we dropped the next 88 two in a row to the U. S. Coast Guard at New London, and Arnold at New Haven, the scores standing 64-32, and 55-46 respectively. Then we journeyed up to Durham, New Hampshire where we slaughtered the Wildcats, 45-27, with Pesetzky and Lisien successfully eyeing the hoop to tally thirteen points each. On the same trip the boys dropped two more — to Becker and St. Anselms, 49-36 and 51-29, before again recovering their pace to rise up and defeat Assumption at Worcester 53-46 with Coffin, Moore, and Lisien leading in that scoring fray. Returning to the home court once more the Millmen took another licking at the hands of Providence — this time 58-56 — but struck back to trounce the visitors from Wagner, 53-38. The big failure of the season was our New York trip, where we beat Wagner once more but dropped three to Hof- stra, Panzer, and Pratt Institute, and then journeyed to Cambridge, Massa- chusetts to defeat M.I.T., 31-30. It was not until our last two games that the squadmen really displayed the true talent which they possessed. In a final bid for glory, our boys hubbed the invaders from Assumption, 73-55, and then, in a super-exciting finale, which carried into three overtime peri- ods, they finally succeeded in overcom- ing a powerful five team from Siena College. The game was one of the most thrilling games in our basketball his- tory. As the second half drew to a close the score stood 46-46, and in the two overtime periods the score was knotted, first at 50-50, and then 55-55. The game was finally over when, six seconds before the close of the game, which was now in its third overtime, Lisien sunk a well-aimed foul shot to send Textile ahead, 59-58, and thus ended the sea- son with a total of ten victories and ten defeats.

Football As the mid-September practice call was sent out, Coach Rusty Yarnall little dreamed of the sore disappointment which was in store for him, for it wasn’t until but a few days before the opener at New Hampshire State U. that there were sufficient reserves to hold a thorough scrimmage. It isn’t difficult to see, therefore, that it was a short-handed Textile eleven that strolled onto the New Hampshire State turf that rainy September afternoon of the 27th. The fighting men of Textile put up a brilliant battle against overwhelm- ing odds. Heavily outweighed, outnum- bered, and outclassed, the Textile line was torn to shreds by the powerful Durham Wildcats. Although left on the short end of a 58-6 score, L.T.I. may well be proud of that never-say-die spirit which was displayed by the Tex- tile eleven that day. The following Saturday, the Millmen bowed to Rhode Island State, 39-0, and then proceeded to drop their third in a row to Panzer, 13-2. Breaking into the win column for the first time in four starts, the eleven bounced back from the Panzer defeat to beat a stubborn M.I.T. team. When the whistle blew the men of Textile were on the better end of a 12-7 score. In the course of the next two weeks, the Textilites bowed twice, once to Hartwick, 21-0, and again to New Britain, 33-6. In their next encounter the Textileers lost one to Arnold, 28-6. For the curtain-ringer of the season, Textile played host to a highly- touted Wagner eleven. The boys wound up the season with a splendid showing by holding the powerful Wagner team to a 7-6 tally. 1941 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Sept. 27 New Hampshire at Durham Oct. 4 Rhode Island State at Kings- ton Oct. 1 1 Panzer at Lowell Oct. 18 M.

In addi- tion to some of the veteran lettermen, several new prospects have turned out for early practice, and so, we should expect a fairly favorable season. Be- cause of the short term for Seniors, the team will suffer quite a loss in mid-sea- son, but Rusty has several good men to help carry Textile through the entire schedule. Some of the more promising turnouts for the ball club include, Amerio, Gulubicky, Hagerty, Harper, Kirsch- man, Lint, McNiff, O’Donnell, Piekar- ski, Proctor, Spicer, Teichner, Yalente, and K lash man. Early practice was held indoors, as is the general custom, and the eligible were given a good workout in the gym- nasium. Our 1941-42 baseball schedule was completed early in the year, but due to the national emergency, which is of vital importance to everyone, cancella- tions were received from Tufts, Arnold, Bates, Ithaca, and Becker. Assumption cancelled two games, nevertheless, Prof. Cushing has planned for the schedule to run from April 1 1 to May 16. If plans work out as are expected, L.T.I. will probably set a precedent for all of New England by scheduling a Service game with an Army, Navy or Marine Corps rival in late May. 1942 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 1 1 Brown at Providence 16 Rhode Island State at Kingston 22 Amer.

Your knowledge and technical training are needed as never before. Though you are entering a world of doubt and uncertainty, your opportunities for service have been multiplied; for today the fate of civilization is in the hands of the technician. And the technical man needs good instruments as never before. Time is short, requirements are exacting, quality of textiles purchased or produced must be determined quickly and positively. Atlas, pioneer of accelerated testing in the industry, offers you three dependable instruments for labor- atory testing of fading, wash ability, and weathering. These instruments, Fade-Ometer, Launder-Ometer and Weather-Ometer have been streamlined for faster, surer results. Today, as for the past 23 years, Atlas Ometers are helping the Textile Industry meet all demands.

There’s no priority on IDEAS! Yes sir— ideas are one commodity that can’t be restricted in America. That’s why our idea factories are going full blast, turning out the good ideas which are today, as al- ways, the best defense against the baffling problems of war or peace, depression or boom, buyers’ or sellers’ market, shortage or glut of raw materials. What do we mean, “idea factories”? They are our extensive research and development departments where ideas are the raw mate- rials. Here, skilled textile mill men work side by side with eminent textile scientists, com- bining theory with practice, to develop the ideas which will be tomorrow’s newest pro- duction methods and tomorrow’s newest fabrics. Many of these new ideas can’t be adopted during the emergency, but that doesn’t deter this research work. When conditions do re- turn to normal, American Viscose Corpora- tion will be able to offer you a vast ware- house of profit-making ideas, tested and proved practical in our experimental plants.

CHICAGO CHARLOTTE NEW ORLEANS TORONTO I 2 I The first commercially built electron micro- scope ever placed in service in American In- dustry has been in use for several months at our Stamford Laboratories. Here is an example of the astounding magnifi- cation obtainable with this instrument. Some bacteria are so small it would take a thousand of them to make a single fine line on the head of a pin. Yet under the electron microscope a single one of these can be made to appear the size of a small cigar. In the field of dyes, the electron microscope clearly reveals the shape and uniformity of the tiniest particles — supplements with concrete evidence our best scientific conjectures about factors that affect their performance qualities in actual use. We are looking ahead of today’s difficulties in ways such as this, in order to make Calco dyes consistently more dependable and economical.

Thus, 1942, finds the Geigy Organization one hundred and seventy- eight 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 is a complicated mechanism with hundreds of large and small parts, the design or composition of any one of which may fundamentally affect the performance of the whole machine. Studying the composition, design and man- ufacture of each of these parts and adapting them to each other to obtain the most effi- cient results has been the occupation of Scott Williams for 77 years. Surely, there is no substitute for such long experience — it is one of the reasons why S W machines are bought with confidence and used with the assurance that they will produce the best possible results in knitting.
