Many times, as one sits in his easy chair, looking through his collection of yearbooks, a panorama of happy college days flashes through his mind. Who is to say that such reminiscing is not a great aid to contented existence? In an attempt, and, we think, a fairly successful one, to compile a record for posterity, the 1950 Pickout has been packed with memory -provoking pictures, stories recalling the happenings of the past year, and a theme that truly represents the present trend of affairs at L.T.I. These things have been carefully designed and included in such a fashion that they promote a con- secutive train of thought in the mind of the reader, for from such thinking come the more personal memories of the individual. Let these mementos of the fourth and last year for some, and the first, second, or third for others, always be given a conspicuous place on the book- shelf, that the wealth of recollection stirred thereby may be readily and frequently tapped.

Professor Brown died on December 13, 1949, as a result of injuries sustained in the crash of his airplane two months before. Born in Raymond, New Hampshire, Professor Brown re- ceived his secondary education in Haverhill. While he was enrolled at Lowell Textile School, the First World War broke out. Interrupting his studies, Professor Brown’s distinguished service to his country brought to him the Silver Star citation and graduation from Saumer Artillery School. He graduated from Textile in 1921, after which he was associated with several New England textile mills. In 1929, Professor Brown returned to Textile as an Assistant Professor in the Wool Department. Taking additional courses, he re- ceived his M.S. in Textile Engineering. His fraternal interests were many, especially in Masonry, in which he had risen to the 32nd degree. He was also a member of Phi Psi Fraternity. Professor Brown will long be remembered by those who studied under him and by those with whom he had come in contact. PROFESSOR RUSSELL L. BROWN 1896 — 1949 President’s Message I n considering the many aspects of our present building program, it lias frequently occurred to me that there are many similarities between a college career and the construction of a building. Each requires careful plan- ning, good workmanship, and a well-defined goal. When a building is en- visioned, a suitable site must be obtained, sample borings of the ground taken, foundation and footings designed, superstructure laid out, mechanical items located, and scores of other details anticipated. Having an adequate design, the contractor then can do his work. But the best designs in the world can be of little use unless brick and mortar, wood and steel, and all the other components of the building are brought together in their proper places. This requires a blending of skill, cooperation, and diligence. A college career is mapped in a similar fashion. Probably the most im- portant initial step is the selection of the right college. With this basic de- cision accomplished, “sample borings” of the proper high-school preparation must be completed. Upon matriculation the student should strengthen his foundation and build his superstructure by careful attention to the various factors that make up college life. Hard work, patience, and courage must be present in abundance. By proper blending of all these ingredients, a college career can be a most satisfying and worthwhile experience. The members of our Senior Class are applying the finishing touches to their college career. Their “construction” is sound and well supported on a solid foundation. They have labored well and success is within their grasp. Sincere congratulations are extended to them by all members of the Institute Staff. May their lives be enriched by the future that is before them. [8] PRESIDENT KENNETH R. FOX [ 9 ] Dean G. Nathan Reed L owell Textile Institute continues to grow. The changes are not as evident as those of the past few years because we have reached a testing place . . . .a time for the evalua- tion of past work and for the careful planning of the future course. Behind the scenes, various faculty committees are working hard at these tasks. The full significance of this work will not be evident for some time but every L.T.I. man and woman can be sure that the ultimate result will be for a greater Institute. Beginning next September, the Institute will offer curricula in Paper Engineering and Leather Engineering. While this innovation marks a break in the traditional singleness of purpose, it is a very significant step forward. These two industries added to textiles cover a large part of the industrial wealth of the Commonwealth and it is fitting that our Institute should offer fundamental education in these areas. Having consolidated our position as a leader in textile education we now become one of the few schools to offer the baccalaureate degree in each of these fields. As our physical facilities expand so does our staff continue to grow, and with the en- larged staff come greater opportunities for the student body. Constant efforts have been made by the administration to strengthen the teaching staff in order to assure every student the breadth of training to fully equip him to meet the challenges of our day. It is our aim to train every student to occupy ultimately a responsible position in the industry of the Com- monwealth and also to be an intelligent citizen of our country and the world. Sincere congratulations and best wishes are extended to the members of the Senior Class. May the years spent at Textile always be the brightest of your life. I 10] Dean Martin J. Lydon A x educational institution has at least two functions: to teach its graduates how to gain a livelihood; to prepare them for complete and constructive living. Thus broadly con- sidered, the value of formal schooling can be measured by the degree to which it teaches the student to extract knowledge and profit from every learning situation with which he comes in contact. The habits, attitudes, and traits of character which are formed in the course of a collegiate career become part of each individual’s personality, and so predetermine his suc- cess in solving the problems of working and living in a fast-changing world. The students of Lowell Textile Institute are securing the traditional and specialized training which is funda- mental to the achievement of their vocational objectives; and this training, increasingly, is combined with an opportunity to participate in those broader and more general educational experiences which prepare the graduates for a productive and worthwhile future. The Class of 1950 is to be congratulated. During their undergraduate years the members of this class have seen Lowell Textile Institute thrive and prosper, and they have facilitated this development by meeting the challenge of change with spirit and enthusiasm. As they continue to observe the precepts and principles which have marked their exemplary progress at the Institute, the members of the Class of 1950 can, with certainty, anticipate a commend- able success in attaining a personally satisfying and socially useful pattern of living. In all their enterprises, they have our every best wish. [ 11 ] [ 14 ] Cotton spinning . . . old method E ducation, as we have had it since the war years, is changing again. After the barren and nearly studentless ages of the recent unlamented conflict, old L.T.I., as well as all the other schools of the country, surrendered bravely to the assaulting waves of “Uncle Sam’s Bovs” who inundated this country’s educational system. Backed by the well-lined pockets of Uncle Sugar, an entirely new type of student was unleashed upon the ivied walls of traditional education. These men were considerably older, harder, and more foresighted than the average student of the pre-war years. Pedagogues found that these men could think, and that it would be well to review the latest innovations of their particular field. Despite the predictions of many that these returning men would be the best students that ever clamored for entrance to the Institute of their choice, the veterans succeeded in making plenty of fun for themselves. Social fra- ternities flourished, various organizations prospered, and the local purveyors of entertainment found that these boys knew how to relax and have a good time. This, then, was the veteran. We say again, was the veteran, because, like the Dodo bird and the bison, he is a member of a disappearing race. He is rapidly leaving the hallowed halls of learning and making his way into the bottomless abyss called the world. He has left behind his mark, however. Academically he has distinguished himself in the eyes of the world as the typical American boy, who, given opportunity, puts it to the best possible use for himself and his country. During the “Era of the Veteran,’’ Lowell Textile Institute prospered greatlv. There are manv of us here who have memories of the davs when Textile was one building; of “Ma” Swanson’s Ptomaine Gulch; of bridge [ 15 ] labs on the tables in the old locker room; of the grand piano which doubled as a lunch table, lounge, and what have you, until the day it folded noisily to the floor; of obsolete and long unused equipment in dusty labs. Witness the changes in this picture. Gone is the day of the single Textile building. Two new buildings now share the famous Lowell skyline as the two dormitories, Smith and Eames Halls, offer their accommodations to the wandering student who is far from home. These buildings obviously contain all the most modern innovations. For the resident thereof, clean, spacious, rooms are provided with many of the homelike comforts (such as violin, flute, and clarinet obligatos), which aid immeasurably in producing good study habits. The modern cafeteria, with its cheesecake, and the lounge with its facilities for sack time, ping-pong, and pasteboard shuffling, provide for the needs of the more aesthetic student. In order that the Textile student may further degenerate from the strong, virile, specimen of humanity that he was, to a meek, white, stoop-shouldered, bespectacled animal, tunnels have been provided between the various buildings so that the scent of fresh air will become forever foreign to those tools of the “Greater Tex- tile” program. The physical machinery of edu- cation has also shown marked change. Gone are the dusty labs and outmoded machinerv. New t. equipment of all types lias ap- .1 Congrats! ! ! Once over lightly [ 16 ] “This they call an education!’ pea red within all the laboratories. Much machinery has been pur- chased, much more made a vailable through the grants of various friends of the Institute. New labs have sprung up in the fields of man-made fibers. Sufficient per- sonnel to take care of the require- ments of the myriads of students have been added. Much unsung work has been done behind the scenes in an effort to improve the subject matter of the courses of- fered and the inter-relation of such course material. Deadwood has been pruned from the re- quirements, and streamlining has resulted in a lighter work load with better presentation of factual material. The extra-curricular activities of our school have shown marked improvement. Increased interest therein and full scale support from the administration have resulted in the formation of many strong organizations, both in the line of sports and in the intellectual fields. Athletic teams have been fielded each year in 3 of the 4 major sports, and the various facilities of the school for each type of contest have been steadily improved. Locker rooms have been enlarged and improved with many new additions to the comfort of the sportsters. New equipment has been purchased and the Textile teams now take the field with the best of uniforms. The gym, once the subject of many an editorial, now sparkles with fresh paint, and is replete with safety padding, new backboards, a new score- board, sanitary drinking facilities, and many other innovations. The old chicken wire that once served to protect feminine spectators from the players has been removed. With all these features, plus the increases and improve- ments in the Athletic Department itself, many optimistic hopes for the future of Textile teams are prevalent. Publications, both yearbook and newspaper, have been resumed after their wartime slump and have more than outstripped their precursors. Those interested in the plaudits of spectators find an outlet for their thespian talent in the Textile Players, while a student government provides practice for the politicians among our group. Chemists revel in a national society of their own which had attained nation-wide fame before the war, and which has steadily grown since that time. This then is the old order. This is the wav things have been done under the impetus of the post war “boom” and the rush of well-paid students. This is the heritage that the old guard leaves to the new student. For the student has changed. Gone, for the most part, is the veteran — [ 17 ] the worldly, experienced in- dividual who knew what he wanted and how best to go after it. The student now clamoring at the gates of knowledge is different. He is the “typical college boy” as we knew him in the past. He is young, just out of high school, and ambitious, but lie lacks the know-how of success. Education to him is not just the work of the classroom, but is rather the total of college experi- ence — an awakening — a broadening. He is a student who lends himself much more to the guided type of education. Great will be his development through the four years of his colle- giate life, as he changes into the well-versed man who is to go out into the world. The new type student is fortunate in that the changes and innovations will [ 18 ] M uU‘ train ! They used to use peanuts. not disappear with the departure of the Veteran. Those that have already been made will be retained for his continued comfort and con- venience. Many of them will con- tinue to evolve and to become more encompassing in scope while under his influence. The projects for future expan- sion continue unabated. Our L.T.I. educational plant has not ceased to grow. The new Alumni Library, at present still in the throes of construction, is being built as one of the finest and most complete in the State. Much time and effort went into the planning of this edifice and the student of the future is certain to leave with many a pleasant memory of the hours spent within its walls. One of the biggest undertakings ever conceived is now rapidly taking form at L.T.I. When our 1 19 ] Frosh! school was founded by a group of mill owners, it was intended that it should become a great textile school. None of these men ever had the slightest intimation that one day our college would branch out to include instruction in the trades of Paper or Leather. Yet even now such courses are being devised. The advance personnel of the new departments have arrived, and much organizational work has been done. Plans have been formulated for the new buildings and the foundation of the first one is in its initial stages. Come on, Textile! And track, too. [ 20 ] To all this change, then, your Pickout is dedicated. To the Veteran — “Hail and Farewell.” To the new student — “Wel- come.” As our Institute grows and expands, so, too, will your memo- ries increase, and the primary function of vour yearbook — to t preserve these memories — be- comes of increasing importance. He missed ! That’s our boy. Moose didn’t ! ! [ 21 ] January “Yes, we wash test tubes!’ Ugh. . .tests!! T he New Year came in with much ado, and brought with it headaches and backaches, as can be testified by many a student at L.T.I. ’Twas a sad day, Janu- ary 3, 1949, when we all stumbled back to classes after a long and hectic Christ- inas vacation, and were greeted with, “Ilev, fellows, guess what? Finals in two weeks!” It was mighty easy to pick out the boys who lived in Smith Hall during the month of January. What with the tunnel con- necting the dorm with the school, those poor boys lived underground the entire time, getting a chalk-like pallor. Along with the new year there were several changes at Textile. The freshmen were given student advisors, and Bryant Carpenter was named Editor of The Text. Pledging began in some of the fraterni- ties, and plans for Hell Week were re- vised. 124 ] On January ' •29, 1949, Textile was shocked to hear of the death of its Presi- dent Emeritus, Charles 11. Eanies. Presi- dent Eamcs was dearly beloved to all at ' Textile, and his passing was mourned by everyone. The Seniors went to the dogs, or rather, the poor dogs of the Seniors went, after their Senior Class Dance at the Hotel Marlborough. The “Textile Tooters” supplied the music, and although not many people attended, tine to the poor weather conditions, a good time was en- joyed by those present. Frequent steps in the direction of prog- ress continued to occur at Textile as was evidenced by the installation of a new school-wide humidification system for the textile labs. A new book on lace manufacture was authored by the Design Department, and a display of costly fabrics by that organ- ization added to its fame. Textile’s baskcteers went thumping along their rocky road with victories and defeats pretty well mixed. Support from the loyal rooters was strong, and interest throughout the school was high. So, as we went on to another semester, everyone looked eagerly ahead to see what delights the future might hold in store. Out came the groundhogs. [ 25 ] February T he month began with bad news about one of Textile’s best loved pro- fessors. Dr. Louis Olney, former head of the Chemistry and Dyeing Department here at L.T.I., and his wife were both killed in an auto accident. We deeply regretted their untimely deaths. The fraternities outdid themselves this year in their treatment of the pledges. For weeks the initiates walked around Valentine dance Da boys!! [ 26 ] with flashy bow ties, weird assortments of clothing, pails (We could never quite make out if these were to be used for sit- ting in, standing oil, or covering one’s face while sleeping in class.), and band- aids. Mr. Stearns had a special section of the English class marked off for those who wished to sleep peacefully for 45 minutes. But it was worth it, huh guys!? Wait til next year. . . . Dramatic talents were unleashed in the realms of Southwick Hall, when the Tex- tile Players began their rehearsals of “John Loves Mary’’. The haughty order of “I ' ll thank you to put your pants on young man!” caused many a stray student to come running into the Hall, only to find that John Shaughnessv was practic- ing his role of Senator McKinley. “Come one, come all, and join in the festivities!”, was the cry of the Junior Class. And so they did, bringing their wives, dates, and friends to the Junior Class Valentine Dance. The decorations really made the old hall look right sharp. With the Textile Tooters supplying the music, an excellent evening was had by all. The basketball team really went to town this season, winning three out of the last four games. Laurels to Coach Morey for doing such a wonderful coaching job. We hope that the team continues this winning streak throughout the future. And then Little Red Riding Hood. . . Sure, but will it wear? Turkish bath. [ 27 ] March “I told you so!” Swede Nelson T he proverbial “lion” roared in as March came around, in the form of “Swede” Nelson. Mr. Nelson was the guest speaker at Textile’s first annual sports award night. Sweaters and letters were presented to those eligible for them, and much ribaldry was presented to all. The entire affair was considered to be a great success, including the sojourns after it. The Irish had a spree on the night of the Sophomore class dance. It was sham- rocks here and pipes there as the hundred- odd couples showed each other new dance styles. The Seniors had a stag, and stagger they did from the Melody Room of the High Hat at the end of the evening. The next day was re-christened “Hangover Day” in their honor. Phi Psi won the bowling trophy, which they will retain permanently if they again win it; while Pi Lambda Phi put in its bid for honor, too. They won the interfraternity basketball trophy in a thrilling match with Phi Psi. Textile’s Terriers are now known as the delighted dribblers. They won three out of four games on their annual New York trip. Bridgeport, Pratt, and Brooklyn Poly bowed gracefully before us, but Queens College outpointed us. It is the first time since the 1936-1937 season that Textile has accomplished this feat. Let’s hope that this year will be the beginning of continuous success in such fields. News was received that Jim Kennedy, alumnus and one-time Editor of The Text , had been chosen to edit the Alumni Bulle- tin. His first efforts along that line were crowned with success, for he immediately [28 j instigated several innovations in format and appearance which made our Bulletin the equal of all others. Noteworthy events occurred frequently throughout this month, and the processes of education received much support. Industries exhibited their products; ar- chaic monstrosities, such as the old Con- densate tank, fell to the torches of pro- gress; the Engineering Society traveled far and wide; and Bob Berwick, prog- nosticator of renown, was forced to dine in lonely splendor upon his Sportsinill. It appears that poor Bob was overly optimistic. Careful!! The Cocktail Hour “Thanks, Boss.” ( 29 ] Bar flies. “Of course the Red Sox have it!” M anchester, England, came to Low- ell, Massachusetts, in the person of Professor W. E. Morton. His lectures helped some of us to gain a greater under- standing of English textile manufacturing processes. Professor Morton, on the staff of the Manchester College of Technology, came to America under the second part of a reciprocal exchange agreement, which had previously sent Professor Gilbert Merrill to England. Our Student Council advanced one more step on the road to perfection when it became a member of a larger school governing organization. More action of this nature will increase the respect of the student body for the functions and duties of the Council. “John Loves Mary”, the play chosen for the annual presentation, received noisy ovations from the crowd of “Eirst Nighters” who filled the high school audi- torium. Changes continued to occur at Textile with Julius Fox and Frank Hekker named to the respective positions of Editor-in- Chief and Business Manager of The Text. Peter Archambault, maintenance man, known to the myriads of students who have attended L.T.I. in the past 33 years, finally reached the age of retirement, and was presented gifts in a little front office ceremony. The Alumni Association, shed- ding copious tears, announced that Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Harvey, both connected with that relatively new and rapidly growing organization since its inception, [ 30 ] would follow their graduating husbands out into the cold, cruel, world. Pickout and Text banquets followed one another in rapid succession as mem- bers of Textile’s “Fourth Estate” feasted on the gains of their labors. The Text started something new by shaking off the ties of Lowelltown and heading for the seaside for a shore dinner. Dean Williams held a convocation for the purpose of explaining to all and sundry the inner workings of his Co-operative Industry and Education plan. This scheme of supplementing the classroom with summer work in the mills, has re- ceived much favorable publicity and ap- pears to be a permanent part of the future textile education. The baseball season got underway op- timistically when the Textile team steam- rollered the Bradford-Durfee ball club by a 7 inning 21-1 score. Hopeful rooters saw a possibility of a perfect season. Barry Drumgoole, Text “gossip-at- large”, broke down and revealed some of his sordid ancestry in a highly fanciful autobiography. With Spring and base- balls in the air, restlessness and thoughts of vacations were observed to be running rampant among the student body — or was it young men’s fancy turning to thoughts of — finals ! [ 31 ] T he early spring months found the “front yard” draped with students in various positions of sheer collapse, bask- ing in the rays of “Ole Sol” and squinting a weary eye across Textile Avenue where the completed dorm and hole for the other stood as evidence of progress. On May 14, at 11:30 a.m., the cornerstone ceremonies and dedication of the new Alumni Library were held. This program embodied the Alumni week-end and rightly so, as the Alumni made the build- ing a reality. It was their Golden Anni- versary. Oddly enough, the draped students managed to wend their way to the “Arena of Frolic”, in name, Canobie Lake Park, on May 11 for Upstream Day. Tummies bulged, nicks from beer cans were ex- amined, and all were exhausted but happy No privacy at all. Love those outdoor lectures! Kit [ 32 ] upon returning home. Yes, t he cigar was there, too. The Engineering Society announced something new with the formation of a course in Woolen Carding, to be given for three weeks in the summer in con- junction with the staff of the Wool De- partment. Operating mill men were to be the students. Class elections, held earlier in the month, proved the pcepul’s cherce”, after much sign painting and blarney, to be Dick Meltzer, Senior president; B. Silver, Junior president, and Fred Shippee in the driver ' s seat of the Sophomore class. Things in general wound up in a swirl with a Senior dance on May 31 at Mar- tha’s room, final exams (whoosh!), the terrific work of the Placement Bureau, and graduation on June 1 at 10:00 a. m. (What an hour!) The weary students trudged home to enjoy summer fun and digest their tidbits of knowledge. The Seniors, best of luck to ’em, went out into the world to help make the wheels turn and to uphold the name of the school that gave so much to them. “Ah. von Engineers have it soft!” Birth of a library. Nope. . .it’s a new cigar! [ 33 ] June . . . July • • • and August T HE summer months were busy ones, not only for the students, but the school as well. Those summer jobs ob- tained through the cooperative training program proved to be very beneficial to the students, while the majority of the graduating seniors started their careers, at jobs obtained through the excellent work of the Placement Bureau. The school itself underwent many changes. Eames Hall, the second dorm, neared completion and boasted of a large base- ment lounge with a soda fountain — frappes on tap. The Alumni Memorial Library gained ground and began to show itself above same. Added to the Institute itself were new equipment and machinery donated by generous firms. Numerous offices and cubbyholes sprang up throughout the buildings like daisies, complete with new members of the faculty as occupants. A new Dean of Faculty, Dr. G. Nathan Reed, was appointed during the summer. Dr. Reed hails from the Institute of Tex- tile Technology, Charlottesville, Virginia, and has had 25 years experience in educa- tion and research. In addition to appoint- ments, there were also many promotions among the present faculty. Other electrifying events included the initiation of a student insurance plan and clarification of the parking situation at the school. Many of the faculty traveled far and wide during the summer months. Profes- sor Golec went to England for lace study; Dr. Glegg to Cuba for pineapple research; Mr. Stearns to Colorado; and Mr. Katz to Europe for mountain climbing and hosteling. What were the little students doing all this time? Huh! — Working, that is. Some even went so far as to get married! Can you imagine — Regina Mark fell, Mr. Hall fell, “Bry” Carpenter suc- cumbed, Walter Flister and Fred Fowle collapsed, Dick Ferron, Clint Eklund, A1 Monaco, and Jack Wood gave in. Kenney Merrill and Bill Evans were presented sons. Waiting list - — Dana and Izzie, Lucky and Dolores, Davy and Eleanor. Running close behind in a dead heat are Guidotti and Sloan. At the end of the vacation, fond hearts began to tremble at the thought of return- ing after having spent a summer helping to straighten out a bewildered textile industry. Summer joys over, we returned to Textile in September, along with the Frosh who were making their initial trip because they just didn’t know any better! Hopes and ambitions flew high, and off we went! The Dean Cokes and no line? [ 35 ] September “For my trousseau” T he doors were opened, the cars parked in haphazard fashion, and we filed in to “get the word” from Miss Foote and her lieutenants. A new filing system which tells everything, including your present brand of toothpaste, had been in- stalled during the summer. We were sub- jected, drawn, quartered, and boiled in oil. Down in the locker room, the football gear was relieved of moths and bets taken “How much???” ( 3«1 Who .lid ii? 7 on the coming season. Bern Book and his gals were heard shrieking cheers in Room 330 as the year got underway. As usual, those nasty little caps and corncob pipes were obtained by the de- lighted frosh and hazing commenced. There were back door entrances, bombing raids in front of Smith Hall, hazing courts, and nocturnal explosions in the Freshmen dorm. The frosh now had the “word”, proper school spirit, and were at the mercy of the satisfied Sophomores. The boom was lowered. After a few weeks of agony, the stu- dents -were back in the swing of things, whether they wanted to be or not. The Fraternities, Omicron Pi, Pi Lambda Phi, Delta Kappa Phi and Phi Psi — and don’t forget our sorority, Phi Sigma Rho — began activities with hard-time parties, stags, and restocking of beer cellars for “What’s a gram?” the season. The Freshmen became an immediate source of avid interest. The 1949-50 Student Council, under the capable leadership of Don “Muscles” Leitgeb, held their first meeting and many new problems were considered. A pep rally for the Worcester Polytechnic game was held on September 30th with much noise and enjoyment. The football team, under the leadership of Captain “Lucky” Stavrakas, looked good and there seemed to be more interest and support among the spectators at the games. Old timers, looking about the campus, gaped in awe at the new Library which was rapidly nearing completion. New books had already been added to present stocks, and many ambitious plans laid for immediate occupancy as soon as the last brick should be in place. Elsewhere in the school, minor revolutions had occurred as obsolete machinery was scrapped and modern equipment installed in its place. The usual summer changes had taken place within the ranks of the faculty, and new faces and promotions dotted the Textile scene. With much ado, then, we shifted into third, and September drew to a close. teg October T he auspicious month of October was ushered in to the hoarse plaudits of an uncontrollable mob which turned up to cheer the Terrible Terriers on to victory in the first football game of the season. In spite of all high hopes, they lost and went on to a series of similar thwartings. However, the general feeling was that the boys had never had such high morale, despite their numerous defeats. Freshmen hazing was in full swing, and the frosh were taking it with a smile and a shiv up the sleeve. It was all good, clean fun. President Fox left dear old Lowell be- hind him and scooted off to Merrie Eng- land for six weeks to catch up on the latest cricket scores and on textiles, too. The linking of two great institutes, L.T.I. and M.I.T., came about in this month when plans were established for sharing many of the facilities of the two schools. Your friend and mine, Marty Lydon, Love that lab. Pilam comes to L.T.I. 138 ] assumed the post of Dean of Students. A. E. joined up with the national fra- ternity of Pi Lambda Phi. This brought the prestige of a national fraternity to the school. All Textile was saddened to learn that Professor Russell Brown and his wife had met with a serious accident while flying their plane through New Hampshire. Everyone, students and faculty alike, wished for their speedy recovery. The white hope of the school, the Paper and Leather building had already been drafted. We all awaited the building. The ground had been broken but that is the way matters stood at the close of the month. [ 39 ] November Peek-a-boo Lounge leisure Birth of twelve salesmen. [ 40 ] A s November rolled into view, The Text occasioned much comment by switching to newsprint format — a la big newspaper practice. Student opinion of the new policy was so favorable that it was decided to continue the practice. The Textile Terriers finally won a game when they beat New Bedford Tex- tile 13-6. A crushing blow was dealt to the morale of the Woolies (or Fuzzy- Wuzzies) when they saw the French comb go up in pieces in front of their eyes. Sic transit gloria mundi. During the month, the forbidden fruit of vacation was sampled briefly as the Armistice Day and Thanksgiving holidays gave us a brief respite from the grind. Charlie Edlund was briefly amazed when his Senior Sales class appeared neatly tailored, with roses in their button- holes. A flowery time was had by all, and a photog rapher was hastily summoned. That same gentleman caused a near revo- lution by baring to his Marketing class his long repressed desire to sally forth in Confederate uniform, complete with red sash and gigantic sword. Members of May as well take the interview. Robbie!! the class obliged by procuring for him the red sash. The erudite Seniors held a class meet- ing and chose the class gift — a clock for the central reading room of the Alumni Library. At the same meeting they were introduced to the functions of the all- important Placement Bureau, and Jim Bell became the official buddy of 90% of the class. Textile’s basketball season got off to a flying start with a win over Bryant Col- lege. Textile’s hoopsters looked good, although shaky, and hopes for a good season ran high. All month long, Textile had buzzed with interest as rumors flew about the proposed plans for a big formal. Finally the Student Council announced the date, time, and details of the First Annual Textile Formal, for which Tommy Tucker had been engaged to play. Everyone immediately dated his best girl, and im- patiently awaited December and the big date. [ 41 ] December Oli boy. . .olives. Naval Research Reserve D ecember finally rolled around to Tex- tile, bringing with it more and more activity toward the anticipated Formal. As the week-end of the 10th approached, every train to Lowell was welcomed by delegates, as the home-town girls arrived. Friday night found all the fraternities giving big parties, and in retrospect it seems that Pi Lamb put on the noisiest. The Formal itself was well attended and extremely colorful as the feminine urge for beauty sought its usual expres- sion. Grand March and Beauty Contest were duly organized, with honors of being [ 42 ] The weaver Merry Christmas!! the loveliest girl going to Miss Pat Lothrop of Reading, Massachusetts, who was escorted by Curtis Allen of the Sopho- more Class. Post-formal parties again held the fraternities spellbound, while other less fortunate students sought en- tertainment at local nighteries, thus finishing up what had been Textile’s biggest week-end. President Fox appeared before a Fac- ulty gathering, and again in print in the columns of The Text, to report on his ex- periences in England. His impressions of the British type of education served to show further the great contrast between that country and ours. As the months wore on, and vacation approached, sudden activi ty along the riverbank bespoke the beginnings of a new State highway. It was expected that the construction of this road would dis- rupt many a class for a year and a half, since the project was a large one. Many students and Faculty members lost a good friend and advisor, when cheerful Professor Russell L. Brown suc- cumbed to injuries received in a plane crash. Phi Psi again played host to the orphan children of a nearby school at a Christmas party, complete with Santa and his pack of gifts. As the children warmed up to the occasion, the noise they made in their enjoyment thoroughly outdid any frater- nity uproar. The Lacrosse team, which had been organized and coached entirely by the interested students, was accorded Varsity status and became eligible for assistance from the Athletic Department. Textile suffered three losses in rapid succession on the basketball court, al- though close decisions were the rule in every game. Interested persons sparked by Joseph Masaschi organized a Naval Reserve Research Unit, to be based at Textile. Thus we came to the end of another year, and streamed home to vacation delights, forgetting for a while the cares of education. [ 43 ] Student Government Back Row: Meltzer, Olney, Wuester, Shippee, Silver, Book, Sumers Frout Row: Cummings, Leitgeb, Reilly, Lemire T he Student Council of Lowell Textile Institute began its various duties the second week of classes. The first meeting was presided over by President Donald J. Leitgeb; and present were Vice-Presi- dent Frank T. Reilly, Secretary Gabrielle Lemire, Treasurer Robert C. Cummings, Richard Meltzer, Bernard S. Book, Rob- ert Sumers, Frederick Shippee, Bernard Silver, Robert Olney, Robert Mulcahy, and Irwin Wuester. Late last year, the Trustees of the Institute approved the proposal that each student shall contribute the sum of three dollars to the Student Council through the student activities fee. Thus this year’s Council was faced with the task of setting a precedent in the manner in which the funds were to be distributed. It was decided that the Council should try to return the money to the students by subsidizing various student activities. One of the most important functions of the Student Council is the grievance pro- [ 46 ] 1 1 cedurc, wherein an investigation is con- ducted on all written grievances. The student body has indicated an increased interest in the benefits that can be de- rived by t lie use of the grievance pro- cedure, as evidenced by the larger number of grievances handled by the Council this vear. Feeling that the organization of the annual social functions left something to be desired, the Council conducted a poll to determine if, and when, the student body wanted these functions. As a re- sult, Freshman-Sophomore Field Day is to be held in the Fall; Upstream Day in the Spring; as well as the Annual Tex- tile Banquet. Included in the poll was a question asking how many would attend a school- O i wide formal dance featuring a “name” band. Eighty per cent of the students responding stated that they would attend such an affair. Inspired by this response, the Student Council Social Committee, under the chairmanship of Frank Reilly, organized the First Annual Textile Form- al featuring the music of TommvTucker and his Orchestra. The Formal was held at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium just one week before the Christmas vacation. It is hoped that this will be the first of a series of Annual Textile Formats. Mr. Anthony,. . .

McCarron Sherman Lein Larry Travis Art Assistants Herschel Sternlieb Bernie Silver Flister Commerford Wirth T he Pickout, the annual yearbook of L.T.I., was composed by the students whose pictures appear on these two pages. In order to publish an annual of this type, a great deal of hard work is involved. First the ideas have to be conceived, next the layout must be planned carefully, numerous stories written, hundreds of pictures taken and sorted for their suita- bility, and don ' t forget, advertising must be solicited to obtain the necessary fi- nances for the publishing of The Pickout. Arthur D. Levinso n and Ted Bonczar, better known as T.J., were chosen Editor- in-Chief and Business Manager respec- tively at the end of the 1948-49 school year, and they assembled their staffs quickly, once the new year started in September. Ted Trilling stepped into the number-two-man position as Associate Editor. Two veteran “Pickouters”, Per- ennial Bryant Carpenter and Walt Flister, were chosen to supervise the work of the editorial staff. They in turn called upon Kit Patrick for Art work, John Peterson to act as Literary Editor, Harry Gaon for Layout, Allen Wirth for Pho- tography, Bob Berwick for Sports, and Dick Meltzer for Class and Fraternity articles. Now that the “chain of command” was established, it was not long before assignments were handed out to the writers and assistants. The editorial staff chose a new method of covering the various articles by assigning the respect- Patrick Carpenter Lord Arthur D. Levinson, Editor-in-chief Thaddeus J. Bonczar, Business Manager Bussell IVI. Fox, Faculty Adviser Louis W. Stearns, Editorial Adviser ive coverage to a responsible member of the organization or class in question. At the same time the Business Staff went into action, since without the efforts of Ted Bonczar, Ed Lord and their staffs, the Pickout would not be possible. The business staffs sent out letters galore soliciting advertising from all branches of the industry. The 1949 Pickout Banquet at the Blue Moon will long be remembered by those members who attended. After a delicious dinner, Professor R. M. Fox, the Guardian Angel of the book, awarded the coveted Pickout Keys to seven members of the staff, and after short speeches delivered by President Kenneth R. Fox and Leon Bess, last year’s editor, the group had a chance to enjoy the floor- show or partake of various liquid refresh- ments. [ 49 ] The Text JULIUS I. FOX Editor-i 11-Chief J anuary, 1949, found a minor re-organ- ization taking place when Charles Whitehead succumbed to the pressure of his studies and turned over the post of Editor-in-Chief to Bryant L. Carpenter. “Bry”, as he rapidly became known to his associates, rolled up his sleeves, and plunged immediately into the swim, and although no major changes were insti- gated during his regime, he strove con- stantly to improve the coverage and interest of our student newspaper. In order that other deserving souls would have a chance to be Editor-in-Chief of their school paper, “Bry” retired to the post of Advisory Editor at the end of the school year. The graduation of Bob Peirent, who had been Business Manager for two years, left the way clear for a general election. As usual, The Text remained dormant throughout the summer months only to spring to life again under the able leader- ship of Julius I. Fox and Frank Hekker, who were elected to the posts of Editor- in-Chief, and Business Manager. These two managers of the “home of Barry Drumgoole,” put their heads together and came up with an almost fool-proof for- mula for success. “Julie” announced that as long as his writers kept the flow of material at a high intensity, no issue would contain less than six pages. A most notable advance was the elimination of the slick paper that had been used for many years and the appearance of stand- ard newsprint in its place. Clever cartoons peer at the reader from the headings of many of the columns, with a muralistic design emblazoned across the top of the sport page, which is reminiscent of Da Vinci at his best. Herschel Sternlieb is to be given full credit for the creation of these features. In order to afford its readers a contact with the outside college world, The Text has become affiliated with the Inter-col- legiate press. This organization collects news of interest from campuses across the country and dispenses it to the member schools. The trend toward six- and eight-page issues which has increased under the last two Editors is only a sample of what is hoped for the future, and the staff antici- pates eagerly that time will find an edi- tion at the school news stand each week. The extra pages, however, have been sufficient to keep every member of the staff busy between successive issues. Many of them are still wavering from the ordeal previous to the Christmas vacation when, during a thirty-six day period, there were four issues of The Text. [ 50 ] Hack How: Andrews, I lacker.

The function of the Board is to act in an advisory capacity to the staff of the yearbook. The membership of the Board consists of the Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager of the Pickout as chairman and vice-chairman respectively, plus one representative elected by each of the four classes, the co-eds, and the Inter-fraternity Council. In addition to the above members, Professor Russell M. Eox, in his capacity as Faculty Ad- visor, and a non-voting secretary to keep the minutes, attend the monthly meet- ings. One of the primary duties of the Board is to award the Pickout keys to deserving members of the staff upon recommenda- tion of the Editor-in-Chief. His nomina- tions are based on a point-system de- signed to evaluate the work done by the various members of the staff. Seven keys were awarded at the final meeting last May, and were given out at the Pickout banquet. The scheduled meetings were usually quiet and business-like, except for one session, when a group of last year’s senior class questioned the legality of the re- quired sitting fee at the photographer, sent a delegation to the meeting, and provided some fireworks and heated arguments. The situation was soon ex- plained and order was restored. The Board performed its duties faith- fully, and credit must be given to the members who helped guide the Pickout in its course. [ 52 ] Dance Band T he Saga of the Textile Dance Band — the painful and dissonant early re- hearsals — the timid yet very successful debut at the All-Textile Banquet in the Fall of 1948 — all this is remote history now, and the existence of a first class dance band at L.T.I. is surely a fait accom pi i. At the first rehearsal in September of this year, a few of the more radical mem- bers, Earls, Whitney, and Draper, nearly started a revolution by demanding that the band flat a few fifths. The conserva- tives, Morris and Halpern, shouted this demand down. (A flatted fifth is the fifth note of a diatonic scale lowered one-half a tone, it is not an empty bottle of spirits. Ed.) Anyway, peace was restored, and the radicals decided to stick to the printed music while with this band, and play Bop elsewhere. The “Textile Tootcrs” entertained at a prominent social event. The Annual Football Dance, which was held at the K. of C. Hall in November, and added something new to the scene by forming a really Ivy-League type Military band to play at the last football game of the season. A quick rehearsal, a frantic search throughout the city of Lowell to beg, borrow, or steal a bass drum stick, and they were ready to play. Strains of popu- lar marches were rendered (not rended) during the game, and a short concert was given at the Half. It is hoped and believed that future students will keep up the work so well begun, and that Textile will always have a band such as this one, of which we may be proud.

The first perform- ance of the Players was given long before the first World War and has become the social highlight of the Textile year. Numerous plays were carefully con- sidered for the 1949 production, and “John Loves Mary” by Norman Ivrasna was chosen because of its unlimited possi- bilities. The year 1949 saw again the appear- ance of females portraying feminine roles, as well as another innovation when a student, Bill Segall, was selected to direct the play, instead of the professional di- rectors of previous years. The outcome of the spirited competition saw Peggy Peters and Dick Hallet taking the title roles with Broadway-like aplomb. Dave Kaufman came up with the juicy role of Fred, and John Shauglinessy was chosen [Players at play [ 54 ] as “the man of distinction”, the Senator. Solid support was put forth by others, like Pat Piston as the mother, Bob Sinners as the general, Arnold Horowitz as Beech- wood, and Gerald French as Oscar. Irwin Ames played the oafish Lt. O’Leary, while Joan Gregg won the role of Lily because of her singing of “The Sidewalks of New York” and her pirouette across the stage. On Friday evening, April 22, 1949, “John Loves Mary was applauded en- thusiastically by a capacity crowd, which had laughed itself through three acts of rollicking farce. With the beginning of a new school year in September of ’49, a new constitu- tion was put into effect, and the member- ship was increased greatly. Joan Gregg was chosen as the first feminine president in the history of the Players. Capably assisting her in the tasks of leading the groups were vice-president Walter Flister, secretary Ruth Denio, treasurer Charles Little, publicity chairman Dick Hallet, and business manager Bill Shires. Charged with the headaches that accompany the position of faculty advisors were Professor Ernest James and Mr. Isaac Chase. At the conclusion of the 1949 football season the Players gave a banquet for the football team in recognition of their wonderful spirit in the 1949 campaign. The play’s the thing ! ! [ 55 ] Chinese Students ' Club Back Row: Wang, Lee, Woo, Neih, Cheng, Tung Front Row: Chen, Wu, Chao, Prof. Dow, Kuo, Wong, Pong O nce again, far away China provided the largest number of foreign stu- dents at L.T.L during the pa st year, and for the first time in the history of the Institute the enrollment of Chinese stu- dents had reached a total of fourteen. This has only been the third year of existence of the Chinese Students’ Club, but several of the original members have since returned to China and are busy running the textile industry in their war- torn homeland. Frequent communiques are received by the organization from said returnees to China, with accounts of the wretched living conditions now pre- vailing in that distant land. At a meeting called at the end of May, P. C. Chao was elected president, and J. P. Wang was chosen treasurer and secretary for the present terms. Since these students hail from different parts of China, the members find the Club a convenient means of becoming acquainted with one another and a great help to new Chinese students enrolling at the Institute. The Club, in conjunction with Chinese student organizations from other New England colleges, has sponsored several successful social gatherings, and among the other activities, the members have visited several nearby mills and held discussion sessions on various textile subjects. Practical information on Ameri- can practices has been gained this way. With the new record high membership, the Club can look back on a successful and eventful year, and even greater things are hoped to be accomplished in future years.

The membership of the Circle is made up entirely of students from abroad, who at present number thirty-nine and hail from fourteen different countries. Since for the past couple of years few new foreign students have been admitted to the Institute, the activities of the Circle were rather limited. However, a few textile mills and machinery manufactur- ers were visited during the past year in accordance with one of the aims of the organization, to study American technical advances and production methods. The Circle cooperated with the Inter- national Institute here in Lowell by sending speakers to the “I Am An Ameri- can Day” celebration last May. These lecturers explained the meaning of citi- zenship in their respective homelands. Members of the Circle also addressed private groups here in Lowell during the year. Motion pictures about some of the countries represented here were shown to students and to these other groups. Professor James G. Dow is the Honor- ary Chairman of the International Stu- dents’ Circle, which hopes that its mem- bers will go back to their countries not only with a genuine appreciation and understanding of the American way of life and the sincere friendliness between nations, but also — through their gather- ing with fellow members — with an understanding of the habits and customs of other nations.

T he Student Chapter of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists is one of the most active organ- izations at Lowell Textile Institute be- cause of the interesting programs offered to the members. Greater strides forward have been made this year than ever before. In a joint meeting with the Northern New England Section of the parent organiza- tion, in which the entire program was planned and carried out by the students, the following papers were presented: “The Effects of Phosphates in the Dye- bath” by Robert Peirent ’49, Lawrence McMahon ’49, and Robert Morrison ’50; “The Swel ling Effects of Ammonium Thiocyanate on Cellulose Fibers” by R. George Hochschild M.S. ’49. The student chapter presented motion pictures at various times throughout the year, and also invited leaders of the textile chemistry industry to be the speakers at numerous seminar programs. In March of 1949, L.T.I.’s student chapter became affiliated with the Inter- collegiate Chemical Society. This organ- ization is composed of the student chap- ters of the chemical societies in colleges in the Greater Boston area. The objectives of the Society are to enable the students of the various universities and technical schools to make acquaintances among their future colleagues in the chemical profes- sion; to secure the intellectual stimulus that arises from profession association; and to foster good will and better under- standing among the chemistry students and among the institutions of learning that they represent.

The field trips included treks to textile machine manufacturing plants and to textile research laboratories. The moving pictures that were obtained showed man- ufacturing techniques of a general nature, machinery principles, and textile manu- facturing; while the lectures were on the engineering aspects of textiles. For the first time in its history, the Society sponsored a summer course in which the woolen branch of the textile industry participated. This consisted of a series of lectures and discussions delivered by men of the industry to supervisory per- sonnel of numerous woolen mills. This course proved to be a successful link be- tween the Institute and the industry. Membership in the Society is open to all students of the upper three classes who are enrolled in one of the engineering courses. However, membership is not necessarily a prerequisite for participa- tion in any of the activities sponsored by the Society. Although the Engineering Society was a student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers before the last war, at present it is not affiliated with any of the national engineering organiza- tions. William Shires served as president of the Society up until the summer vacation, at which time Dorrance Goodwin was elected to the president’s chair for the present school year. [ 59 ] Cheer Leaders Back Row: Wuester, Book, Uffner Second Row: Nuzzolo, Lemire, Freeman Front Row: Feingold, Commerford, Lein A new sjjirit prevailed at the L.T.I. sporting events this year. No longer were the Cheerleaders novices, and no longer were the rooters in the stands reluc- tant to shout the Textile cheers. The Cheering Squad had grown to the mellow age of two. In spite of the fact that a cheerleader now and then would go up when he should have gone down; or experienced some stage fright, forgetting that we were playing Bryant in basketball and not Worcester Poly in football, when it came time to give out with “Come On Textile”; they still feel that they have become a most important factor in bringing to the forefront the stockpile of school spirit which is within Textile men. To recall a few of the highlights of the year, the football season started off with a “good old fashioned” Pep Rally, com- plete with bonfire, speakers, and the Cheerleaders, en masse. At the New Bedford Textile game, the stands cut loose. The New Bedford game marked the introduction of “Tex” Terrier in the form of a masquerading Cheerleader who, at half-time, doubled as band leader to lead the Textile Tooters in their only appearance of the football season. Basketball was ushered in with an even smoother coordinated squad than ap- peared at football, and a better dressed squad at that, for no cheering squad would ever be complete without uniform trousers. With red stripes along the side of their black pants, the Cheerleaders have indeed come of age, on their second year of existence, and their future is indeed a promising one. [ 60 ] Discussion Group Back Row: Dersli, Ginsberg, Barr Second Row: Labrecque, Greenberg, Freeman, Gilman, Finklestein Front Row: Ruflfenacli, Meltzer, Newman, Lebowitz A fter an interlude of six months, the Student Discussion Group of L.T.I. has been reorganized and is now meeting regularly each Monday afternoon. The aim of the group is to have an in- formal discussion on a variety of academic subjects; these subjects to be selected by the group itself. At the organization meeting, it was decided that at no time would the meetings revert to an airing of mi scellaneous grievances or resort to a type of debating society. With the goal of developing and bringing to light the new concepts held by each participant, the group operates solely for the free expres- sion of student and faculty opinions. In lieu of elected officers, moderators are chosen each week from the members. This would give the moderators the oppor- tunity to develop leadership qualities while keeping the discussion in the proper vein. At the time of this writing, six meetings have been held, with a variety of topics having been discussed. The collective opinion of the group is that a need for the discussion of aesthetic topics is increasing in the school, as is evidenced by the lack of knowledge of the finer things for which we live. As an example of the variety of the subjects that have been discussed and that are scheduled, the following topics are listed: The Role of Labor Unions in America; Thought Control; Should Sex Be Taught in High Schools?; Liberal vs Technical Educations. The Discussion Group is open to all interested members of the faculty and the student body.

Rifle Club was originally organized at the Institute in 1931 under the direction of Professors Skinkle and Chace. During World War II, activ- ity ceased. However, due to the interest of a number of students, reorganization took place in 1947, with Professor Fred- erick as Faculty Advisor. This organization was founded with the express purpose of encouraging rifle shooting among undergraduate students attending the Institute, and with a view toward a better knowledge of the safe handling and proper care of firearms, as well as the development of marksmanship. While presently the Club does not have suitable range facilities on the campus, firing is done through the cooperation of the Lowell Marksman Club. During the present year, postal matches were fired with Clarkson University, U. S. Merchant Marine Academy, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Michigan Tech, University of Cincinnati, Oregon State, University of Miami, University of Louisiana, Kings College, University of Idaho, and Mon- mouth College. Shoulder-to-shoulder matches were fired with Boston University and Wentworth Institute. This past year, for the first time, the Club fired in the Hearst Match, as well as the National Rifle Association Intercollegiate matches. Besides these competitive matches, the Club has three events open only to team members, which are fired near the end of the school year. These are the Aggregate Match and the Founders and Faculty Trophies.

Canova, Sugg, A. Canova [ 66 ] I n weather that was much more con- ducive to skiing than to baseball, Coach “Rusty” Yarnall called forth all aspirants for berths on the L.T.I nine last spring. In the beginning, the most tedious job was not in getting the team into condition but rather in keeping the boys warm. Despite the adverse weather, the team slowly rounded into shape. A surprising number of candidates turned out, and it was evident from the outset that a starting lineup would be a difficult thing to select. Among the re- turning veterans were Murphy, A1 Can- ova, Charatz, Angelo, and Needle, just to mention a few. Leading the rookie con- tingent were Therrien, Aldrich, and Lemire. When the season started, Professor Lester Cushing was again on the bench urging” the team on; encouraging them to try a little harder, and consoling them when the going was tough. Coach Yarnall was pretty much set on his starting lineup for the opener with Bradford-Durfee Tech. With Charatz toeing the mound, Angelo receiving, Needle, Murphy, Ther- rien, and Britton comprising the infield. Show ’em, Coach! and with Ducharme, Sugg, and A1 Canova patrolling the outfield, the visitors were trounced 21-1. It was just our day. The pebbles on the infield were even on our side. Therrien, who proved to be the “Rookie of the year”, in his first trip to the plate cracked a home run. Those who were in the stands had much to be proud of, for the team performed as if they had been playing together all of their lives instead of just a few weeks. The boys ran into some trouble in their next game and suffered their first shut-out, 4-0, at the hands of North- eastern University. That started a streak of bad games which saw the team drop six in a row. They finally found them- selves at Becker’s expense, and then [ 67 ] The Sluggers 1949 Schedule Lowell Textile 21 Bradford Durfee 1 Lowell Textile 0 Northeastern 4 Lowell Textile 4 Tufts 12 Lowell Textile 7 Clark 7 (11 innings) Lowell Textile 4 Fort Devens 9 Lowell Textile 4 M.I.T. 12 Lowell Textile 8 Boston Univ. 6 Lowell Textile 1 Rhode Island State 12 Lowell Textile 6 Becker 1 Lowell Textile 18 Norwich 11 Lowell Textile 12 Keene Teachers 8 Lowell Textile 10 New England Coll. 5 Lowell Textile 8 Fort Devens 0 Lowell Textile 2 Springfield 9 Lowell Textile 4 A.I.C. 12 Lowell Textile 9 Suffolk 7 Lowell Textile 7 New Hampshire 4 Lowell Textile 0 A.I.C. 6 Lowell Textile 12 Assumption 12 (8 innings, rain) Won 8, Lost 9, Tied 2 [ 68 ] started a chain of five wins for the L.T.I. nine. One of these was a master- ful six-hit shut-out by Math- ewson against Fort Devens. As the season wore on, Coach Yarnall gave some of the rookies a chance to break into the varsity nine. Don Aldrich cavorting at shortstop, and Jack Lemire catching, gave indications that they would be heard from when the next baseball season rolled around. The Assumption game marked the end of ball playing days at Textile for Les Canova and Mathewson who graduated, and for Sugg who transferred to Rhode Island School of Design. The other play- ers will be back again next spring to help “Rusty” garner a winning season for L.T.I. in baseball.

Polak, Paris, Coffin, Pawlowski , Devercaux, Schaaf A t the start of the football season, the picture for the coming campaign looked exceedingly bright. The team had been formed under a new coaching deal, with Dave Morey, one-time coach of the Bates “Wonder Team” that once tied Mighty Yale, as head coach, and Joe Murphy as his assistant. For the second successive year, Lucky Stavrakas was elected team captain. Other returning lettermen included A1 Canova, Norm Brunelle, Len Platnick, Stan Rosen- krantz, Roger Murphy, Doug Grady, Frank Polak, Mickey Rudolph, A1 Gel- lene, Dana Ramsbottom, Sy Milgrim, Charlie Linberg, Paul Johnson, Larry Coffin, Sid Rudes, Don Schaaf, Roger O’Donnell, Jack Lemire, Joe Morris, Ira Pantell, Roger Lewis, “Skippy” Mc- Kniff, George Lawrence, and Tom Chad- wick. With the addition of much new talent among the hopefuls, our team was raring to go long before the season offi- cially opened. The “Terriers” faced Worcester Poly- tech in their initial encounter, and started off like a ball-of-fire, scoring two touch- downs in the first six minutes of the game. Frank Polak scored from twenty yards out, thus culminating an eighty- yard drive, and two minutes later, A1 Gellene ran a punt back seventy-eight yards for the second T.D. That marked the end of the Textile scoring, while Worcester went on to score nineteen points and win 19-12. The following week the “Terriers” travelled to Winooski Park, Vermont, for their second game of the season, played against St. Michael’s. With the start of this game, the unusual streak of bad luck that plagued the team throughout the remainder of the season became apparent. The tragedy of this game was not the 32-0 [ 70 ] “Okay, Chief.” Get that point. Mighty Joe Young defeat, but the injuries to Frank Rolak and Dana Ramsboltoin, which were to sideline two of the starting backfield men for the remainder of the season. The next game, at Lowell, featured City College of New York, and that inani- mate and intangible thing called “ill luek” continued to manifest itself in a remarkably ugly way. In addition to losing a “squeaker”, 14-12, insult was piled on injury when the “Terriers” also lost A1 Gellene for the rest of the season, and Len Platniek for the next three games. Gellene, before being injured, and Roger Murphy, seored the two Textile T.D.s. In successive weeks the gridders tied Clarkson Tech, 0-0. Then it was Coast Guard Aeademy, and after that, A.I.C., where the “Terriers” played their best [ 71 ] Team set!! That ref’s blind! game, although they finished under the heap in both the latter and the Coast Guard games. Following this was the New Britain tilt, which wound up with Lowell on the short end of the 13-0 score, and, which also saw Captain Stavrakas side- lined for the last game of the season. Finally, New England textile school foot- ball superiority was defined when the “Terriers” whipped New Bedford Tex- tile, 13-6, Canova and Murphy carrying the ball into the paydirt. For the first time in the history of Textile football teams, enough men were Captain Lucky and Crew. [ 72 ] available at the start of the season for Coach Morey to uncover the nucleus of the modern separate offensive and defen- sive teams. Guards Linberg and Pantell were slated as defense men, and several other players were assigned special posi- tions, but the large number of injuries forced Coach Morey to abandon his plan. Rosenkrantz was seen at both halves and at quarterback; Canova appeared as end, fullback, and left half; Lemire hit guard and right half; Johnson, end and left half; Brunelle, guard and tackle; Rudes, quar- ter and left half; Pantell, guard and tackle; and Mickey Rudolph played every posi- tion but center. In short, men played where the need was greatest. Team morale, and student support, ran high despite the unhappy season. Textile fielded an organized and noisy group of cheerleaders, who exhorted the student body whenever a home game occurred. Despite the unfortunate turn of this sea- son, all hopes ran high that with bigger and better Textile teams being fielded each year, Lady Luck will have a change of heart and smile upon us in the future. 1949 Schedule Lowell Textile 12 W.P.I. 19 Lowell Textile 0 St. Michael’s 32 Lowell Textile 12 C.C.N.Y. 14 Lowell Textile 0 Clarkson 0 Lowell Textile 7 U.S.C.G. 35 Lowell Textile 0 A.I.C. 7 Lowell Textile 0 New Britain 13 Lowell Textile 13 New Bedford 6 [ 73 ] Lacrosse Baek Row: Coaeh Morey, Szczepanik, Milgrim, Pawlowski, Weiner, Scliaaf, Merrill, Mulcaliy Front Row: Tessler, Bussicre, Bethel, Montgomery, Schlaginhaufen, Arsham, Schragcr W hen spring rolled around last year, four fellows who had at one time or another played Lacrosse got together and decided that they would like a Lacrosse team at L.T.I. These fellows rounded up all the boys that were interested in learn- ing the sport and proceeded with the task of teaching the game. Three weeks of intense practice ensued in which the four men taught the re- mainder of the thirteen-man squad the fundamentals of stick handling and the principles of the game. Our first Lacrosse team had no coach so the men took all responsibility upon themselves. Each man pitched in and purchased his own stick, balls, face mask, and gloves. When the L.T.I. Lacrosse team played [ 74 ] its first game, which was with the Boston Lacrosse Club, the spirit was very high. The team lost its initial game tine only to the fact that there were no substitutes to relieve the tired regulars. Nevertheless, their spirit remained wonderful all through the season. A schedule of five games was played with the following teams: Boston La- crosse Club, Tufts, Lawrence Academy, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Nichols Junior College. Next year’s team should be much more successful because of financial support from the school and the fact that the team will be fortunate enough to have Mr. Morey as its coach. 1949 Schedule LTI 4 Boston Lacrosse Club 6 “Gather ’round.” LTI LTI 5 4 Tufts Worcester Polytechnic Institute 7 11 Shooting practice.

S occer, a sport altogether new in the history of Lowell Textile athletics, was developed during the Fall semester of the school year ’49-’50 and active com- petition was begun. The soccer team, comprised of fifteen men in all, and coached, managed, and cheered on by the very able Dr. Ronald E. Glegg, put on as fine a showing in its initial year as any one of the other active sports at L.T.I. The soccer squad had to overcome in- numerable obstacles in order to survive. The main difficulty was in rounding up players, for the sport w as a new one and not many students were familiar with it. The athletic office set up a three-game schedule with the following schools: New Bedford Textile, Keene Teachers, and Fall River Textile. In the first game, our offense and defense looked very weak, with the final score, 6 to 0, in favor of New Bedford. In the second encounter, l 76 ] the energetic efforts of Coach Glegg began to bear fruit. A fighting Textile team held a highly favored Keene team scoreless the first half until we succumbed to superior numbers. The final score was 3 to 0. Our final game was a 3 to 0 loss to Fall River Textile with the lack of substitutes again proving to be our main stumbling block. 1949 Schedule LTI 0 New Bedford Textile 6 LTI 0 Keene Teachers College 3 LTI 0 Fall River Textile 3 [ 77 ] Basketball They’ll scare it in.

Morris Front Kow: Coach Morey, Lyons, Needle, Leitgeb, Rndes, Besso, Prof. Cushing [ 78 ] T his year, his second at the helm, found Coach Dave Morey looking forward to the 1949-. 0 basketball season with great anticipation. Returning from last year’s squad were no less than ten lettermcn. In addition, lie had the pick of any talented Freshmen who might come along. Leading this year’s contingent were Co-captains Don Leitgeb and Sid Rudes. At the center position was A1 Lyons, whose kangaroo-like antics made him a terror under both back boards. In these years of high scoring basketball, Lowell is indeed fortunate in having a stellar defensive man in Sonny Needle. Round- ing out the starting five was last season’s captain, Dave Pfister. It is an old adage in sports that a team is as strong as its bench. In this depart- ment the Terriers were led by Mike Besso, whose superb spirit and play making are a coach’s dream. After the first few games had been played, Dave Pfister was forced to retire because of a skin condition. Looking for a replacement was a tall order, but Coach Morey came up with Doug Grady, who became a highly im- portant cog in the team. When additional [ 79 ] height was needed, Joe Morris filled the bill to a “T”. Rounding out the returning lettermen were Don Aldrich and Abbie Smoler. In addition to those returning from the 48-49 season are Sandy Brandt, Warren McHugh, A1 Kupper, and Art Green, who show great promise as future varsity material for the Red and Black. For the first time in many a moon, a Textile basketball team has been instilled with a will to win which is surpassed only by “the Boss” himself. During one of the ball games Sonny Needle was taken out for a rest, but took his life in his hands by sitting next to Coach Morey on the bench. After the game Mr. Needle was sporting a welt on the side of his anatomy the size of an orange. At the time of this writing the season has been half completed, with the record standing at five wins and five losses. The victories were won at the expense of Bryant, New Bedford Textile, Suffolk, Babson, and Assumption. Leading these Who’s got the chewing gum? victories were the “scoring twins”, Co- captains Leitgeb and Rudes. The losses were suffered at the hands of Keene Teachers, Clark, St. Anselm’s, Bradford-Durfee, and Becker. Entering the St. Anselm’s game a distinct under- dog, Coach Morey fired up his charges to such a pitch that they came within six ! [ 80 ] points of upsetting one of the leading teams in New England. A1 Lyons and Sid Rudes played brilliantly, displaying their best form to date. Looking to the future, the Terrier Five will have to undergo a rebuilding project due to the loss of Don Leitgeb, Sid Rudes, and Mike Besso via the graduation route. However, under the guiding hand of Dave Morey, Textile will come up with a scrappy, well-schooled, club that will be a credit to the Institute.

The team membership fluctuated from week to week as a result of class commitments. The outcome of the opening match with the sharp little bo 7 s from Phillips Academy at Andover was held in the balance until the last green where they managed to scrape out 5 % of the 9 points. The next Wednesday saw us playing a six-man team from the University of Massachusetts at Fort Devens at Vesper Country Club. Once again the match was close, heightened by Dan Robson’s eagle on the 18th hole. The match was lost by a 5 to 4 count. Holy Cross, on the following Friday, sprang a new version of team play on us. Playing a strong seven-man team in indi- vidual matches, we sustained a 6 to 1 loss, but succeeded in opening relations with Holy Cross. The X E I G A was rather bitter as our team fell far down the list. The team was Getting into shape.

With the formation of a Club of this nature, the athletes hope to create a closer union among the partici- pants of all the sports and not just the squad with which they happen to be asso- ciated Any difficult}’ with which some of the boys were burdened, provided it was a legitimate gripe, is now the problem of the Varsity Club. However, the most important activity with which the Var- sity Club has been associated is the pur- chasing of certain equipment without which most athletic groups are seriously handicapped; namely, the camera and projector used in filming the football games and the whirlpool bath which is the latest project at this stage of the game. To raise funds for these projects the or- ganization ran a Football dance and a few dances following home Basketball games. One of the most imperative aims of the Varsity Club is the organization of an active Alumni V arsity Club. Anything and everything with which this organiza- tion is to be connected shall be for the furtherance and development of a more intensified and diversified athletic pro- gram at Textile. It is the sincere belief of every member of the organization that participation in an organized athletic program is an invaluable phase of any college education, and it is our goal to see that the good derived from playing ball shall be enriched each successive season.

Goldman, Brown, Augsbcrger, Leitgeh S tanding out among the various frater- nities, sororities, and societies, which are found at Lowell Textile Institute, is one in which membership signifies a student’s mastery over a very elusive tangible, his academic studies. This so- ciety, known as Tau Epsilon Sigma, is our scholastic honor society. Tau Epsilon Sigma was founded in 1926 by three degree-course students. The society was designed along the lines of similar organizations existent in manv of the technical and liberal arts colleges of our nation. Since its founding, three hundred of the outstanding graduates of L.T.I. have been members. Election to the society may be attained only when the student in question has a record for the first three years at Textile which shows constant attendance, good character, and a sustained academic average of 4.0. No previous failures at other schools can appear upon the record of the candidate involved. Very few stu- dents have successfully maintained this type of record during their time at L.T.I. In the class of 1950, 135 students strong, only 18 were eligible for membership in the Tau Ep. Although the members of Tau Epsilon Sigma do not gather frequently for social affairs, banquets, and the like, the honor of belonging to this organization is suf- ficient repayment for the long years of study which have been a background to their selection. Members of the society are accorded the privilege of wearing the key which denotes that the individual has received the highest undergraduate award possible to attain. [ 86 ] Nucleus Baek Row: Miller, Reilly, Besso, Goodwin, Berwick, Sumers, Shires Front Row: Spieer, Cummings, Morrison, Sloan, Leitgeb, Rebenfeld, Lord T he Nucleus was founded three years ago by a group of upperclassmen who desired to exchange information that they gained from sources other than the Insti- tute. These students reasoned that under- graduates work in textile mills during the summer, for instance, in order to gain valuable practical experience. They fur- ther reasoned that experience gained by such individuals should and could be passed on to others. This became the prime purpose for the founding of the Nucleus. Due to the unique nature of its purpose, the ‘Nucleus had to limit its membership to fifteen upperclassmen who have been active in extra-curricular activities at the Institute and who have maintained a comparatively high scholastic rating. The members of the Nucleus meet at a dinner meeting once a month during the academic year. At each such meeting one member will present a paper on a topic which should be of interest to all. Usually this topic will deal with the work done by the speaker either in research or during summer employment. The Nucleus has no officers and the speaker at each meet- ing acts as the chairman of that particular meeting, inviting one member of the faculty as his guest. The papers that were presented this year were of the highest quality and have proved to be a great aid to the members. It is believed that the objectives of the Nucleus, as set forth three years ago, have been fulfilled. It is now hoped that the organization will become an integral part of the extra-curricular activities at Low- ell Textile Institute.

Our present organization is a direct outgrowth of the Phlame Sorority which was organized at L.T.I. in 1937. Along with our new name, Phi Sigma Rho members also acquired sorority pins, some of which are on dis- play on the lapels of proud male students. On February 3, a dinner-dance was held at the Blue Moon. Dr. and Mrs. Glegg and Miss Rosatto were guests of the Sorority. A picnic was held in May at the Ashby State Reservation. The activi- ties there consisted of baseball, eating, exploring, eating, bridge, eating, and com- plete relaxation. A few weeks later. Miss Rosatto entertained all the Sorority at a luncheon at the Vesper Country Club. Everyone developed new interests — wait- ing for the “income of the three bells.” In May, officers were elected for the year 1949-1950. Ruth Denio was elected President; Sue Keenan, Vice-President; Therese Commerford, Secretary; and Joan Gregg, Treasurer. The year’s activities were started with a party in September at Gay Lemire’s home for Regina Mark McElrath, who Christmas party. had recently been married. Several weeks later a get-together was held in the Recre- ation Room of Eames Hall. This party was run as a feminine “stag” counterpart to those held by the Frats on the same night. On November 4, a post-Halloween party was held in Chelmsford. Gay Le- mire upheld the honors of her football- playing brothers by blocking Judy Brown to win “Sadie Hawkins”. Even though Phi Sigma Rho is still a comparatively young organization, its ideals, aims, and traditions are those of a long-established group. In the years to come, Phi Sigma Rho Sorority will be a closely-knit group working for the ad- vancement and increase in number of the co-eds at Lowell Textile Institute.

The object of this organi- zation is “to promote inter-fraternal harmony, to standardize fraternity prac- tices, to encourage co-operation in better- ing conditions at the Institute, and to aid in creating a school spirit through good fellowship”. The Council consists of sixteen members, the president, vice- president, and two delegates from each fraternity. These representatives elect a chairman, a vice-chairman, a secretary, and a treasurer who serve for one year. Numerous fraternity activities are or- ganized and supervised by the Inter- fraternity Council. Athletic programs in- clude bowling, basketball, and soft-ball, each of which upon completion of the seasons awards a trophy to the winning fraternity team. This year two new activi- ties, ping pong and scholastic rating, have been added to the above. It is hoped that the latter award will serve as an incentive to all fraternity members to attain and maintain a high academic record. Various social events are conducted, not the least of which are the numerous stag affairs Free throw. Interfraternity trophy. which are designed to create and main- tain the spirit of brotherhood among the members. One of the brain children of the Council was the successful initiation of simultane- ous rushing and pledging periods among the fraternities. Rushing and pledging are supervised by the Council, and “hell week”, that period of terror to the new and of joy to the old, is kept within the bounds of reason.

D elta Ivappa Phi has had a highly prosperous year. Not only have we advanced socially, but in academic de- tails our members have excelled. One of the major highlights of the “Dekes’ ” year was the acquisition of quarters at 21 Thorndike Street, in the heart of Lowelltown. The rooms are quite versatile, and can be easily converted from their status of a meeting place to a cozy lounge for dancing. This has been proven quite generally by the perform- ance of the members at work parties, where decorating talents were unleashed with great success. Social functions, throughout the months of spring, rolled along as is their custom, with the brethren finding room in their busy schedules for parties and smokers. Some intrepid souls even en- tered organized athletics at Textile. The social season this fall opened with a dance at the Knights of Columbus Hall on October 22, 1949. This dance served the two-fold purpose of providing for all We are the girls of the chorus. those present a wonderful time, and in- troducing the freshmen to the social as- pects of college life. Pledging time rolled around once again, and many smokers and socials were held; the most famous one being held the night before the All-Textile Formal. A large group of freshmen and upperclassmen were rushed to make up for the great percentage of seniors who are leaving the fraternity. Beta Chapter added another feather to its war-bonnet this year when it served as host to the national convention of the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity of America.

The Social Committee gave us a wonderful Annual Harvest Festival. There was the Monte Carlo held during the rushing period, and the many smokers that came up through- out the year. For a little Christmas cheer, the student members with the aid of the honorary faculty members conducted a party for twenty-four orphan children. The Old Homestead itself was given a little face-lifting in the form of a new paint job, and now it sits imposingly and majestically upon YVannalancit Hill giv- ing great pride to all the boys. Nearly all the members found some time to indulge in sports, many of them on the Varsity, bringing new glory both to L.T.I. and Phi Psi. Interfraternity activities were participated in by nearly all. The softball trophy was captured by our boys, with permanent possession of the bowling trophy in sight. Merry Christmas, kids. Then there were the more elite type of affairs, such as the first annual Textile Formal conducted right before Christmas, and, with its usual splendor, the Annual Phi Psi Formal in the spring. However, not all was play. With occa- sional cries of anguish about a report due the next day, and moaning in general about the “Practice Set” coming due, the boys often burned the midnight oil. Now, that many of the seniors are already looking nostalgically at the years gone by, with wonderful memories of a wonderful year we close the Chapter. [ 97 ] Pi Lambda Phi Back Row: C.

T he beginning of last year was rela- tively uneventful for us in comparison with the events that were to take place in the early part of the Fall semester. Perhaps, that’s getting somewhat beyond the actual series of events as they should be related, however. Actually, the things ordinarily of most vital interest did transpire. We went through the usual hell-week routine, en- joying it immensely; inducted our pledge class, and tendered them an induction banquet. Those, in reality, were the high- lights of another of our ordinary years. Then, on October 8, 1949, Alpha Epsilon passed from the scene, and we became Pi Lambda Phi, one of thirty-two chap- ters throughout the United State s and Canada, and the first national fraternity to grace the Textile scene. A tremendous culmination of many months’ effort and many more years of hopeful planning, was just as tremendously celebrated with a hay ride followed by a house party plus all the trimmings that went toward mak- The big wheels. ing an indelible impression on all of us. Then, on the week-end of the All-Textile Formal, we uncapped another memorable affair when we invited all the fraternities and the sorority to a party that we think was, at the very least, extremely noisy, and at a moderate guess, highly success- ful. Now, in our new capacity as a nation- al fraternity, we continue to plod on al- most exactly as before. We’ve completed rushing and the cycle is again initiated. It’s been a hectic year, but a happy one, and we’re looking forward to as many more like it as possible. [ 99 ] Class of ’ 53 G irls, girls!! GIRLS? And another Freshman class began to stagger over the road of work. We were wel- comed by all we met, shown around our home to be, and introduced to the school “medicine man”, Dean Lydon. The mem- bers of the faculty then reminded the poor students of the two important points to remember: work and then more work. This sage advice required only a large club to drive it home. A great load was relieved from our minds at the very beginning of our first week: our money. We received our new library of books, and every imaginable type of writing paper in return for our (or Dad’s) hard-earned money. All that we needed now was a map of the school and its tunnels, and a book of etiquette to tell Back Row: Cavallaro, Messer, Nordon, Oxer, Wattles, Fishman, Uflfner, Tewksbury, McHugh Third Row: Polaek, Pawlowski, Tingas, R.

Can’t miss. us the right paper to use in each class; and we would be well along the road of higher education. Came then in rapid succession — Dean Lydon, officers of the sophomore class, a pep talk then beanies, pipes, and a Bible; and we were ready for our hectic weeks of hazing. On the twenty-eighth of Septem- ber, the freshman class was besieged by an air raid. The place was in front of Smith Hall, the enemy was the sopho- more class, the reason for the attack was the first hazing meeting. We made smoke for Textile, practiced cheers for the com- ing football game, and were forced to bow down to the “almighty sophomores”. In retaliation for the air raid, we hung the sophomores in effigy. Hazing was con- ducted in a “Fourth of July” fashion with firecracker attacks on the dorms at night. Finally field day arrived, and the worm turned. As a well organized class we beat the sophomores at every turn on our day of retribution. Our freshman football team beat the [ 104 1 Now, who has a match? sophomores in every respect but the score, which was 6-6. The tug 1 of war was made easier for us by our anchor man — the flag pole. In the track events the sopho- mores went down with the remark: “Please wait for me to get started at least ’ Due to a quirk of nature, the sophomores were able to score their one and only point in the field events, but this was not sufficient to preclude a victorious day for us. The football season ended and the mid- semester exams started. We burned much midnight oil and worried wholeheartedly, but managed to survive the first on- slaught and struggle toward the Christ- mas vacation. Ensuing days of work were broken up by fraternity rushes and dances, and the season was climaxed by the first annual Textile Formal which was a huge success. So proceeded our first college semester. Hinnim ! ! Machine tool lab. A pinch of salt, a clash of pepper. . . Frosh dance. [ 105 ] Class of ’’52 A fter rather a hectic start which saw daily revolutions against the upper- classmen and faculty, the “Infamous Class of ’52” as Dean Lydon has so aptly de- scribed us, settled down. One of the main factors that caused this sudden quietness was the realization that we still had three years in which to destroy the reputation of the school. It dawned upon us that if we accomplished this feat in just a few months, there would be nothing left for us to do in our upperclass days. With that in mind, we decided to restrain ourselves for the time being at least. We made a sincere effort to adjust ourselves to the environment. But Kear- ney Square was quite a change from the “Great White Way” for some of us. As Back How: Hochner, Allen, P.

As the days flew by it became more and more evident that our rebellious spirit had not subsided. There were some in our midst that insisted upon battling their studies. Their fight was futile; we mourn deeply their departure from our ranks. Our spies in the midst of the faculty re- ported that we were the main topic of many a faculty meeting. The faculty evidently was attempting to formulate some sort of plan that would curb our saucy spirit. Early in the second term several class meetings were called to decide upon the future policies of the class, the adoption of a constitution, the setting up of a hazing committee for the coming school year, and the choosing of a date for the class dance. The date of the dance was set for the seventh of May and the name “Tu- lip Dance’’ was given to it. Due to the unselfish efforts of Lennie Platnick, Jerry And it comes out here. Van Dijk, Sue Keenan, Sue Gilmore, Mimi Rogers, and others, the dance was a huge success. The music was supplied by our own Textile Tooters, while Cy Levy and Bert Feinberg provided lots of enter- tainment. We are looking forward to our next dance and we are willing to go out on a limb now to predict that it will surpass the last one. Last Spring will not only be remem- bered for our class dance but even more for the political fireworks which occurred at that time. Disagreement between the class president and the class itself on certain points brought about his I’esigna- tion. Never before in the history of the Institute had this happened. But to make [ 108 ] matters more hilarious, the resigned president ran for Sophomore class presi- dent. A bitter campaign ensued between the opposing factions. After the smoke of battle cleared and the ballots were count- ed, Fred Shippee was again elected presi- dent of the Class of ’52. September found us holding the whip, cracking it over the heads of the Fresh- men. Hazing started off with a ter rific roar but due to various unforeseen cir- cumstances it fizzled out. October saw the election of a new class secretary to fill the vacancy caused by the withdrawal of Miss Sue Gilmore from the Institute. In another of our famous heated contests, Miss Mimi Rogers was elected to the post. Big, isn’t it ? This year, since we were now sizzling Sophs, many of our previously unruly classmates decided it best to settle down, and the work soon began in earnest. Studies began to interfere with social life, although we all enjoyed vestiges of our former good times. The class was well represented at all school activities, giving strong support to football games, dances, and house parties. Hopes now exist that the “Infamous Class of ’52“ will prove to be one of the most closely knit and well co-ordinated ever to negotiate the Textile highway. [ 109 ] Class of ’ 51 T he Class of ’51 undoubtedly parallels the countless classes which have gone before it. To us, however, it seems that each new day brings with it a newer sense of fulfillment of the obligations for which the Junior Class takes responsibility. We have strived to achieve leadership in campus activities just as every Junior Class has endeavored to do before us. Members of the Class of ’51 have been very active throughout the years in Institute functions and are assuming positions of leadership on the various pub- lications, committees, fraternities, soror- ity, and other school organizations.

Pellicione [ill] so that we are fortunate in having an abundance of our classmates in the reins of these scholastic functions. In the Student Council, the class has been well represented by Vice-President Frank Reilly and Student Representative Bob Sumers, and will assume the responsi- bility for the continued successful opera- tion of the Student Government next year. Our own class officials, President Silver, assisted by his noble associates, Vice-President Girouard, Treasurer Haley and Secretary Goodwin, are maintaining class unity, and their venture into full- time social functions was exhibited by the Shamrock Ball. It was then that profes- sional entertainment first was seen in Southwick Hall, and that social highlight will be the talk of the classes following in our wake. In the field of athletics, the Class of ’51 has continued to improve since freshman days, and next year the nucleus of all our varsity sports will be drawn from its ranks. When the football season rolls around, Johnson, Linberg, G. Merrill, Pantell, and Rosenkrantz will be continu- ing in their efforts to bring forth a winning team. On the basketball court, Lyons and Needle will be helping to score points for L.T.I. Then there will be Ducharme, M urines, R. Murphy, and Needle cavort- ing on the baseball diamond in the spring. All of these athletes will be maintaining, and helping to build, a finer and greater sports-minded Institute. Members of this class have been very successful in their scholastic pursuits. Among those receiving scholarships here at Textile, the Junior Class stands second to none.

Alumni Association award; and William Menzies holds the Berkshire Spinning prize. In addition to these, fifteen other members of the class, both chemists and engineers, are proud recipients of the New England Textile Foundation scholarships. These scholastic triumphs complete the round- ing-out of the attempts to fulfill the obligations of the Class of ’51 to the Institute both academically and by extra-curricular activities. It is our sincere hope that we may con- tinue to carry on successfully and leave to the school as much in memories of achieve- ments as have our predecessors. [ 113 ] Class of ’50 A las, industry beware, G-dav is close at hand. It is no top secret but G-day plus 1 will witness a violent reaction in the textile industry. Technicians, re- search-minded men, and Professor Ed- lund’s super-doopcr colossal salesmen will invade the field to claim their share of Dodd and Ilasek. The Class of ’50 can very well be com- pared to the manufacture of moonshine. September ’46 saw a ' class of 150-odd freshmen, a few just out of high school but the rest, veterans just returned from the war, step into line with the do’s and don ' t’s. Thus the ingredients were put to- gether and allowed to “work” during the ’46-’47 school year. Now and then a little air had to let out and this occurred when our lads became notorious sophs. With a tremendous burst of energy, ring- [ 114 ] leaders Meltzer, lieine-s, Koshak, Majeune and Lauretti set up the hazing program. The program was anything but a success, but it left its mark on the Class of 51. When the ' 50-ers became dangerous Juniors, anything went. Bob Sloan took over the reins of the Student Government. Books were opened to put names on the inside cover and immediatelv stored awav i «• for the grandchildren. Class functions came and went with Meltzer and his com- bine giving it all they had to bring about good enjoyable times for all. The year ’49- ' 50 saw the group as re- spected Seniors. Don Leitgeb became the third Student Council President and Dick Meltzer the Class President. Top publica- tion editorships went to Julius Fox and Art Levinson. With all this prestige and responsibility, the potential energy was being built quite rapidly but stored with- in. The keg will soon be tapped by in- dustry and what they’ll find within will be Grade A merchandise. Kiclianl Melt am , President John C. Casey, l ice- 1 resident Stephen S.

But one way only can obtain the best possible results in terms of tested shrinkage resistance, individualized finish and long term satisfaction. THE AMERICAN WAY by virtue of top standards of modern efficiency and research provides the best performance in the shrinking and conditioning field, and by offering an exclusive system also plays the role of innovator and leader.

Now, and for more than a century, Hunter is ready to help other graduates entering the textile indus- try. Every man in the textile field is interested in but one thing — improving his company so that it, in turn, will im- prove his own position in life. Improvement in textile preparation and wet finishing can come about only by use of the most modern production techniques and equipment. You, who are new in our business world, will soon learn that mills everywhere trust Hunter and its guarantee that ' Hunter equipment will produce as specified so that you can predetermine your increased production and lowered costs, before an expenditure is made. We are at your service — without obligation. JAMES HUNTER MACHINE CO. NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS 160 Better Things For Better Living ... Through Chemistry COLOR UNCHARTED SEAS OF Much of the dyestuffs research conducted in the Du Pont Laboratories is toward definite goals: improvements in established products, belter methods of application, etc. But certain groups of scientific adventurers spend their time sailing uncharted seas of color, their trained eyes searching the chemical horizon for undiscovered scien- tific facts relating to dyestuffs. Many of these facts never develop beyond scientific curiosities. Others result in new and better dyes; new and better use methods. E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co.
