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 ]
