President’s Message T he value of a college education was never more apparent than at the present time. All phases of modem life are characterized by uncertainties and changes which constitute an unprecedented challenge to young people. A proper education fits the young graduate for accepting the challenge of change and develops in him a capacity for turning each uncertainty into an opportunity which he can exploit for the benefit of himself and his fellowmen. The Lowell Textile Institute strives to give its students such a proper education. In order to achieve this end, the Institute has been undergoing far- reaching and important changes during the last few years. New courses have been added, new buildings have been built, additional faculty personnel have been hired, and pioneering programs in research and development have been started — the Institute has been in transition. The Class of 1951 has been closely identified with this period of transition; it has suffered from its failures and it has profited from its successes; it has had the invaluable opportunity of participating in and contributing to, a program of change and progress. The Class now is leaving the Institute to enter an economy which no longer adheres to the traditional and conventional but which instead behaves in a very un- orthodox manner and which gives every indication of becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable. The textile and allied industries, in particular, seem headed for a future which will be marked by new processes, procedures, and inventions. The years ahead will require courageous thinking and determined action on the part of industrial leaders; the prime requisite for success will be the ability to assess and solve complicated, novel, and multitudinous problems. The Institute is doing its job well if it trains its students in the art of problem- solving; it will be giving a proper education if it has stimulated in its graduates a willingness to accept the challenge of change. The Class of 1951 has demonstrated its superiority in the classroom, it has proven its fitness to assume positions of leadership and responsibility in the years ahead. The members of the graduating class have my congratulations for their achievements, and my every good wish for their happiness and complete success in constructing their personal and professional futures. [6] [ 7 ] Dean Reed’s Message Congratulations to the Class of 1951 Y ou are the first class to be graduated from Lowell Textile Institute in the second half of the twentieth century. The men and women who have been graduated before you have established enviable records for themselves and have carried the fame of the Institute literally around the world. You are better prepared than your predecessors — because the Institute has continued to develop — hence more will be expected of you. We are depending upon you to enhance our standing before the world. The fact that these are not normal times could well be taken as a challenge. Opportuni- ties are often greater in abnormal times and the well prepared young man or woman with energy, ambition and initiative will advance both faster and farther. This is true because the old order of seniority weakens and preferments are given to those who demonstrate the qualities of leadership. Many of you will be expected to spend a period of time in the Armed Services. This is part of the duties of citizenship and should not be deliberately avoided. It is true that you will not be following the profession of your choice but you need not be marking time. It has been well said that Every experience can be of value if you will let it. Extra effort on your part will make this period a valuable supplement to your training and will pay you dividends in the future. And so, again. Congratulations, Class of 1951! ( [8] Dean Williams 9 Message W hen you cross the platform on Commencement Day, the second half of the Twentieth Century will have begun — and most of you will have finished the eleven years which mark the second half of your lives to date. In that half, you have witnessed the greatest and deadliest war of human history, fought for the right of human beings to live as free men — the advent of the Atomic Age — the establishment of a world organization which has had the courage, the will, and the power to meet its responsibilities bv taking action in force to prevent the enslavement of a free people — and the rise of the United States to a position of leadership in the councils of the free nations of the world. In a more local sense, you have seen Lowell Textile Institute in the process of moving from a war-time enrollment of 71 students to an all-time peak of over 600 — the addition of new fields of study — the completion of residence halls and a library — the expansion of its educational facilities — the grant of funds for additional expansion — and, of high importance, the rise of student organizations and the development of student government on the campus. In some of this you have necessarily been a spectator — but in campus affairs you have been participant and leader in helping develop the new and increasingly fine things in campus life and campus action. All this is good, for human progress is always the sum-total of the acts of men who have vision and who do. Some, and there are few, are those who envision the richness and purpose of which human life is capable, who define the goals, and then lead others against the forces of mind and spirit which hinder man’s efforts to attain those goals. Others, and many are needed, are those who catch that vision, and then have the will and the courage to follow and to fight for what they are convinced is essential and good for all men. Your lives, to date, have offered you more than formal education: they have placed you upon the threshold of what may well be a new, and perhaps the greatest, era in human history. My sincerest wish is that your futures may give you a constant challenge to the highest and best of your creative abilities — and that you, too, may have the vision and the will to do your share in moving the world a little closer to man’s finest destiny. f 9 J - Memories — memories — memories of years gone by, H e will leai ' e Loivell and then — return again. For thoughts of an Alma Mater never die. I T is often said that college days are to be forever cherished in memory as they are the happiest times in one’s life. Al- though we, as students, may scoff and scorn and make derogatory remarks about the above statement, we all do admit that, if our four years at Textile have given us any permanent impression, included in that impression are recollections of special interest and significance to us because we were part of their making. As we go on to a different phase of our careers, these re- membrances will fade and gradually be forgotten until a class reunion brings them back to mind. As most of the graduates of Textile are widely spread throughout the industry, it is seldom that these reunions occur. Therefore, in order to facilitate jog- ging the graduates’ memory, this book was designed to recall at a glance the eventful four years of the past. It is our sincere hope that this purpose will be fulfilled. The beginning of a new era as the col- lege student was a never-to-be-forg otten period. For some, it meant the return to civilian life and the struggle to acclimate oneself to the chore of studying. For others, it was the break away from disciplined homes and high school life and environ- ments. For all, it entailed the task of sett- ling down to the business of passing quizzes, writing lab reports, and getting H’s. Can any Freshman ever forget Monday mor- nings, at 8:30, when Professor Dow un- leashed a verbal barrage of grammar at the poor, weary, bemoaning hangover head’’? And from there to a scintillating lecture on the virtues of the epileptic” gear trains. Then, for a Survey of Textiles” lecture in the Hall, with Gossypium barbadense com- peting with a five-handed poker game in the rear seats, complete with kibitzers. There was work, but there were also compensations which more than justified the efforts. Upstream Day rolled around and with it came an exodus of students to Canobie Lake. It was on this occasion that one professor was literally caught with his pants down” as a result of a strenuous effort on his part to make a home run during the student-faculty baseball game. Through it all, his cigar remained in its usual position, oddly enough. There was a frenzied dash for the Tex- tile Bridge when exam time drew near, but this desire to get it over with was soon overcome by the beckoning ’social clubs,’ whose measures, although less drastic than those of the bridge, accomplished the same end results. Return to Textile in the fall saw many changes. There was now a dormitory haven for the homeless and a cafeteria which [ 13 ] surpassed Ma Swanson’s by far. There was the task of hazing a new Freshman class, which was attacked gleefully — the task and the class. The standard Frosh re- tort was a growled — Wait until Field Day” — at which time the lower classmen royally trounced their tormentors. New studies were added — courses in loafing behind the cotton pickers, how to bathe your dog in a scouring bowl, the art of avoiding flying shuttles, one year in a desiccator (or how dry I am), leg work in the field of nylon, the mathematical prob- ability of filling an inside straight, and how to avoid cigar fumes during lectures in the seminar room. The organizations around the Institute began to grow. A dance band was formed — glee clubs were started — a rifle team shot up — a swim club was organized — and Limey” Lowe hegan a one-man ram- page to establish an Alcoholics Anony- mous chapter at the Institute, to the dis- may of lower Moody Street. The fact that John loved Mary was es- tablished on the night that the Textile Players presented their annual show. The formal afterward proved John to be a big- amist, however, as he was definitely Mari- lyn’s property. And so, another school year drew to a close, and yells of — See you in Septem- ber” were resounding in the hallowed halls of Lowell Textile. One of our first thoughts upon return- ing in September was — Am I seeing double?” For, during the summer, a sec- ond dormitory was completed, equipped [ 14 ] with a snack bar, lounge, fireplace — which was immediately tried out, and, as a result, dormitory residents were forced to sleep on the front lawn or run the risk of being choked in their rooms — ping- pong tables, upon which Albert Levenson began his reign as champion, and all efforts to have that sport become a letter one at Textile failed due to the refusal of partici- pants to purchase their own balls — and last, a piano upon which virtuosos prac- ticed diligently. Football season came ’round, and the crowds gathering at Memorial Stadium brought blankets, wives, girls, and plenty of spirit . . . school spirit, that is, made in our own Chemistry labs. Lucky” could be heard mumbling Oom beef stew” as he wandered about the corridors, with Lenny following closely behind trying to memo- rize the words. He finally succeeded too and will render his version upon request. The cafeteria was deserted — no one could be found in the dorms — classrooms were vacant — the time was 11:30 on a Wednesday. Where was everyone, did you ask? No, it was not vacation time — it was convocation time, and everyone who could walk or crawl was in Southwick Hall. The attendance even surpassed the Xmas convocations. Have you guessed the reason yet? Think logically. What would lure 600 male students to a convo- cation during lunch hour? There is only one answer — women! This was the day of the fashion show, which was sponsored by Professor Rosatto of the Design De- partment and, being gentlemen, the male students could not refuse her invitation to attend, especially as there were to be pres- ent about two dozen models, wearing assorted fashions including bathing suits, street dresses, and evening wear. The two young ladies who stole the show were about four years old and were both well versed in the feminine art of flirting. There was a unanimous vote after the show that more of these convocations be held to familiarize the student with the latest textile numbers, including those of the Bell Telephone Company. We nearly lost one of the Text staff members during that organization’s annual banquet, which was held in Salem. This fair -haired boy decided to exhibit his mus- cular ability by engaging in the sport of rowing, at which he waS not very adept, being neither a Navy man nor a Central Park habitue. After losing one oar, he was forced to resort to rowing canoe style; con- sequently, he soon lost the other oar. Im- mediately, Peter formed a rescue squad and saved the day amid cheers from the pier. Rumors were flying — everyone imagin- able was listed as a suspect — suspected of what? Why, of being Barry Drumgoole. No secret was sacred if Barry got wind of it, and after several of his columns ap- peared in the School paper, the editors were forced to hire an armed guard to pro- tect their reporter. Now, for the first time, his identity can be revealed — Barry had a double identity, one of the pair hiding behind an accordion. [15] Mr. Pantell’s connections” proved to be a definite asset when formal time drew near. Through the work of the Student Council, plans were drawn up for the first All-Textile Formal. Council members were assigned to the various tasks of collecting information about dance bands, an appro- priate location, flower and picture con- cessions, and the like. Ticket venders were given their post positions in front of the registrar’s office and were equipped with a manual dealing with the subject, Sales Resistance and How to Overcome It Without Using Viol ent Methods.” This short pamphlet was written by the indus- trious Course Seven men. A big weekend was planned, including open house by the fraternities, a football game on the day of the Formal, and cocktail parties to get things under way. Tommy Tucker and his band were hired to provide the rhythm, and everyone agreed that the affair was very enjoyable and that a similar dance should be held each year by the Student Government. Much credit must be given to them for their initiative in taking the responsibility of the undertaking. They deserve complete co-operation by the student body. Along came spring, and then these young men’s fancies turned to thoughts of baseball. The diamond in back of the foot- ball field was the scene of many exciting games, with the river and the power plant the recipients of many home runs. And so, another year drew to a close, and summer vacations began to be the topic of conversation, with many students joining the co-operative program set up by the Placement Bureau. Others, putting their books in mothballs and heading for the beaches, were anxious to enjoy their last summer as undergraduate students. During the summer months, many changes occurred at the Institute. Ken- neth Fox, who had been president of Lowell Textile, resigned from that office and accepted a position with a leading textile firm. In his place, Martin Lvdon, who was then dean of students, was ap- [16] pointed. Losing President Fox was a hard blow to the Institute, as it was through his efforts that much progress had been made in expanding Textile and in getting the industry interested in the School. However, we all want to wish him the best of success in his present position, and we feel sure that President Lydon will capably carry on in a similar manner. Another new addition to the Adminis- trative Staff was Dean Williams, who re- placed President Lydon as Dean of Stu- dents. Doctor Williams, having many years of experience, has a vast knowledge of student problems. Textile has certainly been fortunate in making the Dean an addition to its administration. The Institute Library, which had been in the process of being built in the spring, w T as almost complete upon our return in the fall. The previous senior class gift was a clock for the reading room of the build- ing, and all efforts were being made to equip it so that it would be ready for use in the near future. Much credit must be ■ given to the Alumni and to the building committee for their tireless efforts devoted to money-raising campaigns. It is up to the student body to give them all the co- operation that they require for the com- pletion of the library so that it may be another step in the expansion program of L.T.I. Football season, basketball, the second All-Textile Formal, exams, and tjien the first semester was over, without time to settle back and think. Then the spring semester began, and with it came the realization that graduation was almost here. Nostalgic thoughts of the past enter into the picture, but are pushed out bv the pressing demands of the present and the future and are forgotten. We hope, then, that we have given you a roadway back to Textile and to your college days, and that you will use it to return often.

However, things got back into shape quickly and the remaining two weeks of the fall semester were taken care of in speedy fashion. Before we knew it, finals were upon us and the grunts and groans CQuld be heard once more. Cries of Gee, I didn’t have that in MY notes!” and I never thought he’d ask that question!” were heard in the dark recesses of Textile’s corridors. These thoughts were hastily forgotten, however, in the general rush to get home during the short four-day period of suspended hostilities between semesters. Many of those who did leave missed seeing the second showing of an event whjph has endeared itself to the hearts of man, the hearts of many an interested LTI student — the fashion show. This year’s event was just as spectacular as that of the previous year and Southwick Hall was again filled; this time more by the citizens of Lowell than the student body. Needless to say, those who attended the show had a fine time. The school’s cheering squad made its debut in new uniforms and was royally received bv all of us, if the volume of noise during the cheers could be taken as an indication of our enthusiasm. Most of us were happy to know that one of our favorite Math instructors, Mr. [ 22 ] Andrew Ouellette, has Assistant Pro- fessor” prefixed to his name. Congratu- lations Andy.” A new method of communication be- tween administration and students was introduced via the newsletter. Thus mimeographed sheets appeared on the bulletin boards daily giving details of the day’s happening and organizational and club meetings. The newsletter was made available for the use of any club, organi- zation, or individual that may have some- thing to announce that is of interest to the school. As the month drew to a close, a good deal was expected in the future of our basket- ball team. At the close of the month, they had won three consecutive victories over Suffolk, Assumption, and Babson and appeared to be on the road to many more victories before the season came to a close.

February also marks the start of a new semester; and as the weary Textile students returned from the brief period of respite after finals, they all seemed to be bright- eyed and expectant once more, as if something quite out of the ordinary were about to happen. Perhaps this is the ever-present reaction when people get set on a new undertaking. However, after classes had been underway for a couple of weeks or so, things seemed to have gotten a bit lacklustre and most of us were trying to get out of the deep rut which, oddly enough, we had very industriously dug for ourselves. It was noticed, one day, that most of the people emerging from the corridors of the Chemistry Building had drawn white faces and were seen to be holding their noses. Naturally, a curious few inquired of the sick-looking people, and received choked-up tales of horrible smells coming out of the organic chemistrv lab. Soon, however, these odors had per- meated the whole school, and most of us were tempted to resort to gas masks as an escape from the stench. Who had con- cocted such a plot to keep us away from our schoolwork? The culprit was soon found out to be none other than Mr. Thomas Kelley. He had made the mis- take of dumping some acrylic esters into [24] the sewage system which runs all around the school. Consequently, the rather penetrating odors spread all over the place. When caught red-handed, Mr. Kelley showed no sign of guilt, but muttered maliciously, Mv next problem is to find something that will affect Louis Stearns and Jim Bell. They have been made immune by their pipes.” We all wish him luck on his voyage of experi- ment into new worlds of smell. Professor James H. Kennedy, Jr., was appointed head of the Wool Department, and started things off right by having everyone in his Top Making class draw the worsted card with all the trimmings. Gee, they’re showing a real movie in the hall tonight!” was a rather surprised reaction by many of us to a new film group which was just getting started. A hundred or so showed up at their first showing, and, to coin a cliche, a good time was had by all. Many of those who knew very little about dry cleaning learned a little more about that subject when Dr. Dorothy S. Lyle came to Textile and gave a series of informative lectures. The Frosh entered L.T.I.’s social whirl bv sponsoring a dance which turned out to be most successful. The basketball boys dropped nine games in a row, which took its toll on school spirit. Perhaps something did happen in February after all.

The female population of L.T.I. seemingly took offense to the month of billowing skirts and revealed lace by carrying on an insurrection designed to put an end to one of man’s most harmless depravations, that of being deceived- as to the extent of the body beautiful and enjoying it. As dungarees replaced silk, the indignation of the masters of the Old Howard” and Union City” rose to a clamor which shook the very foundations of the rebellious co-eds. Seeing themselves about to be overwhelmed by a horde of bearded male students, the ringleaders threw in the towel together with a face-saving alibi about dirty gill boxes and acid burns on nylons. L.T.I. basketeers ended the season with a record of five wins and fifteen losses. The disastrous season was attributed mainly to the bad breaks of the team in dropping many games by the margin of one or two baskets. A1 Lyons and Sonny Needle were elected to be co- captains of the ’50-’51 squad. The Ski Team took sixth place in a giant slalom at the Intervale Ski Slopes. Key figure on the team was Don Middle- ton, a senior, who also won the Rhode Island State championship. A staunch faculty five was forced to bow to the winners of the Interfrat basketball title. The Pilam team gave the teachers the short end of a 37-26 score. The faculty rallied again and again to the cheers of President Fox who attempted a field goal from the stands. The way Prof. Cushing played, it seemed as though [ 26 ] I economics of one sort or another was tied up in the outcome. The Institute was favored by the N.E.T.F. when it was presented with an electron microscope and a Hunter Dryer. A course for seniors was expected to be formed which would involve the use of the microscope to find the answers to the unknown. It was suggested that the co-eds be examined to acertain their exact structure (molecular, that is). The Hunter Dryer has variable speed drives which eliminate the use of change gears; this threatened to do away with the mechanism course — don’t cry, Henry. The Text headline stated that Governor Dever would be the guest speaker at the commencement exercises of the Class of 1950. Also, it was revealed that five notables of the textile industry would receive M.S. degrees from L.T.I. This just went to prove that it is easier for the wealthy to get educated, than the educated to get wealthy. [ 27 ] siding to provide sleeping quarters for the students at the Exposition. This appealed to the more uninhibited members of the student body (of both sexes), but was at once curtailed by a jealous faculty. The Student Council elections saw Frank Reilly chosen as president, and Ira Pantell, Don Aldrich, and Doug Grady as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. On April 14th, the Textile Players scored a tremendous success with their production of The Philadelphia Story.” This was followed by the annual formal dance which was held at Liberty Hall. At a conference of Deans and Presidents of Textile Schools, it was brought out that [ 28 ] the administration of L.T.I. favors liberal- ization of education. This was in complete accord with the students who had always thought it more fun to be liberal. Backing up the policy, the sophomore organic class was given the go-ahead to inspect the local Harvard Brewery. This they did with much slurping enthusiasm. The sophomore and junior annual dances were held on April 4th, and 22nd, respectively. Music for the occasions was ably supplied by the Textile Tooters. Textile’s diamond -men dropped the first two games to Tufts and Northeastern, but then rallied to top Clark 9-4. The date of Upstream Day was set as May 17th; this meant there would be a serious shortage of chipped ice in Lowell that day. Dismay was the typical senior ex- pression when the reality of serious job hunting got underway — Jim Bell had built up their ego to the extent that none would accept less than 80 cents per hour. [ 29 ] i - gathered in front of the school and embarked in busses and cars to head Upstream to the ever beautiful Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire. All drank, ate, and were merry. Everyone returned home not sorry that they had gone Upstream. To complete the week, Friday and Saturday, the Alumni came home” and saw the Textile nine beat New England College 11 to 7 Saturday afternoon. But the best game of the year took place the following Tuesday when the Terriers edged out Springfield College 2 to 1, a game no one will ever forget. On May 15 class elections were held, and the victors were Bob Berwick, Senior president; Bob Olney, Junior president; and Jack Wood at the helm of the Sophomore class. Classes stopped officially on May 12 for the Seniors and on May 19 for the under- grads with the following two weeks being Hell,” final exams (0 mon Dieu!). The work done by Jim Bell and the Placement Bureau was excellent. Things wound up with a bang with the Senior Dance at the Hotel Marlborough on May 31 and then that never-to-be-forgotten moment of graduation on the stage of the Lowell Auditorium on the morning of June 5. Where to next? Some Seniors went to work, some were getting ready to go back to college to do graduate work, and some hanged themselves, pardon me, some got married. What about the undergraduates? Many went to work in mills, quite a few [30] under the Co-op Plan; a good number of them went to Summer school (some had to in order to make up what that nasty instructor wouldn’t give them a passing mark in) ; many worked at other jobs, and some just were getting ready to take a long deserved rest. A long hard year had just been completed, and those exams were nothing to sneeze at either, brother. But who are we to quibble over such trivial matters of little importance (Oh yeah!). Well, with one more school year done, let us wish the Seniors the best of luck in whatever they chose to undertake; and let us hope that they do not forget the school that has given them the foundations for their future. [ 31 ] L.T.I. It came as quite a surprise for most of us to hear that President Kenneth Fox had resigned from his position and had made off to Burlington Mills. His presence around the school, we all knew, would be missed. However, Dean Marty” Lydon was soon ap- pointed as the new Prexy, and all of us hoped he would be successful in his new position as he was as Dean of Students. The workmen around the Alumni Library were busily engaged in putting the final touches to the facade. Things like doors and window panes made their appearance and were dutifully hung on or cemented into place as the case was. At last the Library appeared to be on its way to completion. Everyone waited breathlessly to see the finished product, and felt a great deal of pride in seeing another addition to our ever growing Institute. The little men with the grass seed finally managed to come around and get some of the green stuff growing on half the lawn in front of each dorm. Our campus was at last taking shape. Newly appointed as Dean of Students was Doctor Wentworth Williams. Doctor Williams came to Textile by way of Fort Devens, where he had formerly been vice- president of the campus. The student body was eagerly waiting to see the man who would now give them advice and cutting excuses. [ 32 ] Many went the way of all flesh during the summer; a result of the normal Spring reaction, perhaps. Paul Johnson, Donny Pihl, Paul Girouard, Marty Arsham, Dick Brissitte, Marv Luba, Tom Hocking, Sy Rostler, Kenny Whitney, A1 Guidotti, Walter Thibodeau, Charlie Linberg, and George Lawrence all braved the long center aisle. However, since the summer couldn’t last forever, all of us including the new Frosh, were soon on the road back to Textile. The sight of our spruced-up campus was enough to raise high hopes for the year to come. The fame and fortune of L.T.I. was spread over Europe this summer due to the world travels of some of our students. Deciding to broaden their cultural knowl- edge, Stan Rosenkrantz, Bill Reines, Mel Halpern, and Irwin Kaye toured Europe and had some wonderful experiences to relate including climbing mountains in the Swiss Alps. Not to be outdone, our Student Council V.P. Ira (I’ve got con- nections) Pantell, took two overland trips to Asbury Park. And, so ended another summer. [33] pleted. On Wednesday, the 13th, the Freshmen were addressed by Marty Lydon, newly named prexy of Textile, and Dean Wentworth Williams, newly appointed dean of students. Many new changes and faces were seen in the yellow brick structure on the Merrimack. Upperclassmen were greeting one another. Again another school year had begun. Forms, forms, and more forms had to be filled out; one never knew what he was signing or why he was signing it, but orders from the front office were that it should be done, so everyone did it. But this year there was no Freshman hazing. The Sophs had voted that out. They must have been crazy or had no guts or something like that. What’s a college without any hazing? At least that made the new kids” happy. Dave and his men were ready for a new season on the gridiron. Under the direction of Dave and Co-Captains Ira Pantell and Roger Murphy, the squad was willing to face any and all opposition. There was a little more feeling at the games this year, Textile had its own hand, and quite good at that. Sherm Lein had his Cheerleaders well-re! parsed and ready to perform at the drop of a pin. The fraternities. Delta Kappa Phi, Omicron Pi, Phi Psi, and Pi Lambda Phi, were preparing parties for the Freshmen. House cleaning was done, beer cellars were loaded and everything was ready for a [ 34 ] good time. Oh, yes, the girls of Phi Sigma Rho were busy too, because there were four girls in this year’s Freshman class. Since this is an educational institution, classes had to be attended; so, out came the books, slide rules, pens, and pencils and everyone was eager to get started. Lab sessions were underway, test tubes flying, acid spilling on the floor, spindles traveling up and down, shuttles heading for parts unknown — in brief, everything and everyone was in a turmoil. Take out a 3 x 5 file card. What, quizzes already, this is still September. Oh well, what can you expect? The new Dean says no more cuts? After all a guy is only human. We’ll have to speak to the Student Council about this. What do you say, speak to this guy, huh. It’s a good thing there are only eight months left.

Following the game, a caravan of joyous Textilniks passed through the streets of Lowell, blowing horns, shouting, stopping traffic, and making the news of the occasion reach all within hearing distance. Text , October 13: Athletic Committee Formed; Headed by Prof. Fickett”; Military Band Formed”; Auditorium Author- ized”; Research Foundation Established.” In hopes of producing better athletics at L.T.I., President Lydon appointed Professor E. E. Fickett to the post of chairman of a committee to investigate and make suggestions concerning the future of the sports picture. For the first time in the history of Lowell Textile, a military band was formed to perform at the home foot- ball games. The organization was led by Dick Greeley. It was hoped that the formation of the band and its presence at the football games would further promote student spirit in the sporting events of the school. The State Legislature made some three- quarters of a million dollars available to the Institute for the purpose of completing the Paper and Leather Engineering build- ing and for the erection of an adminis- trative building which would also house an auditorium. Joseph V. Kopycinski was appointed to the post of chief librarian of the Textile Library. As soon as the building is com- pleted, Mr. Kopycinski hopes to start things rolling in the new Alumni Memorial Library. [36] Text , October 27: R.O.T.C. To Be Installed At Textile 5 ’; Stan Kenton to be Featured at ALL-TEX Formal”; Foot- ball Team Takes Second Game of Season”; Soccer Team Victorious in Second Start.” At a special meeting, the Board of Trustees of Lowell Textile Institute authorized President Lydon to apply to the Department of Defense for a special- ized unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps. The realization of this request would assure the students engaging in the program of continuing their education without being called into the service. Text, October 27: Atomic Energy Room Set Up.” Under the direction of Professor Chace, Textile made its bid to keep up with the atomic age, by setting up a research labo- ratory to be known as the Radio-activity Tracer Laboratory. Text, October 27: Leaders Strive for More Spirit.” The cheerleaders have launched an all- out elfort to arouse the dying spirits of the student body. They hoped to accomplish this end by scheduling rallies to precede major sports activities. [37] it injuries, turned in a good show before 600 spectators but was unable to outscore the New Britain Teacher’s College aggregation. The soccer team were more successful in their endeavors however, as was evinced by their garnering their final game of the season, as New Bedford Textile bowed out second best. Monday morning classes found many students only partially recovered from the activities of Saturday night and early Sunday morning. With the big week-end” still fresh in their minds, the students and faculty made preparations to attend the City College game on the week-end of November 17. A bus was hired by a group of enthusiasts, for which tickets were quickly purchased. The Interfraternity Council declared open season on Freshmen, who soon found themselves being rushed in and out of fraternity houses at the rate of two or three a week. The Frosh soon learned what beer was for and that their instructors are one of the boys outside of the classroom. Text, November 22: Kerkhof, Gabriel Heads Class of ’54;” Seniors Plan Dance With State Teachers College;” Inter- national Students’ Circle Makes Social Debut;” Band Raises Funds For N. Y. [ 38 ] Trip.” The Freshman Class showed signs of future interest by turning out an 86 per cent vote to elect their class officers. The Senior Class made preparations to hold a dance in co-operation with the students of Lowell Teachers College to be held in the early part of December. The International Students presented South American Evening” in the Eames Hall Lounge. About 150 people spent an enjoyable evening listening and dancing to the music from south of the border. Other features of the evening consisted of group singing by the members of the organization as well as vocal and guitar solos. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors alike were hounded by supporters of the Band for contributions in order for them to attain the financial status necessary to send the Band on the trip to New York City for the City College football game.

Instead of bundling up in their fur-collared coats, Textileniks were arriving at school in their usual garb of ”T” shirts and dungarees. The mercury seldom dropped below forty, and as of the time classes were dismissed for the Christmas vacation, not one case of a cracked engine block had been reported. The social life at Textile was supported by two major functions. The initial was sponsored by the International Students, who took over Eames Hall Lounge to present their Winter Dance.” As in the past, the social aspects of the group were never underrated. This was no exception, as a large crowd was on hand to make a success of the evening. The following week, the Senior Class realized their plans of presenting a blind date dance in co-operation with the local State Teachers College. The affair was known as the Haystack Hoedown.” The success of this co-ordinated affair was evinced by the overflowing crowd in the Southwick Hall barn.” In an attempt to make life more inter- esting for dormitory residents, especially Freshmen and non-fraternity members, a group of ambitious dorm dwellers began the organization of the inter-dorm council. Although still in its infancy, it proposed to provide interesting activities for the residents who remain in their rooms on week-ends. The last week before Christmas va- cation, the usual convocation exercises were held in Southwick Hall. [ 40 ] The month of December was not a time when students could devote their full attention to their studies. This situation was provoked by the precarious position of world peace. As the time for vacation approached, the United Nations forces were making mass retreats in the battle area of Korea. President Truman was considering the declaration of a national emergency. This would have meant full scale mobilization. Many students received draft notices. Most of those students were deferred until the end of the school year. Some were not. Several instructors belong- ing to reserve units were placed on call for the end of the first semester. In the minds of the students, as they left for vacation time, was the endeavor of the administration to secure an R.O.T.C. unit at Textile. The installation of such a unit would make certain the completion of four years of study. But at the time of leaving, no word had been received. Many wondered if they would return from their vacation in January of 1951, 1952, or ever. . . .

In this last category, the year saw the Marching Band, the Newman Club, the Hockey Club, the Booster’s Club, and the Swim Club be- come integral parts of campus life. The social highlight of the year was the All-Tex Week-end in November which in- cluded a Friday evening football game, many fraternity house parties, and the high spot of the week-end — the formal dance at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium featuring Stan Kenton and his orchestra. On the day before the close of classes for the Christmas vacation, the Council pre- sented a Christmas convocation with parts of the program given by the choir of Lowell State Teachers College. In spite of the uncertainty prevailing as the second term opened, the Council planned several events for the spring, including the annual Upstream Day. Upstream Day 1950 proved to be a most successful affair. The entire school, including faculty and staff, turned out to participate in the various sports events and, of course, the turkey dinner. In the three years of its activity, the Council has become an important campus feature. Acting in its role of liaison between the student body and the Admin- istration and Faculty, the Council has made real progress. Some things have been accomplished, and others remain in proc- ess. In the near future, new projects will take the Council’s attention. It is the sincere hope of the Council members that its fields of service will increase and that its activity on behalf of the student body will grow broader. The success of its efforts will depend very largely upon the support and the participation of the entire student body.

[ 46 ] F or this year, at least, the Text has plodded along its difficult and devious way without any substantial extraneous hindrances. What the future holds, no one, of course, will venture to guess. Will it be a return to World War II days and a dormant Text ? Or will it be able to con- tinue under handicaps of supply and personnel troubles? It isn’t a bright picture, vet a chronology of events of the past year leading up to the present, gives indication that we are in extraordinary times. With the start of the year 1950, Julie Fox and Bob Peirant were directing the activities of the Text. Mr. Mandell of the Economics Department, was commissioned to set up an accounting system for the paper since, for some unaccountable reason, there were some few stray dollars in the bank. At about the same time, the staff got the good news that they would have a real office in the basement of the new Alumni Library. Then came the rest of the offer: the Text would furnish the office from electric fixtures down through furniture; the accounting system will be junked very shortly. September saw Bob Berwick become editor-in-chief, and Ruth Denio, busi- ness manager. The accounting system was still in operation, but only because the new office wasn’t ready. The initial plan of attack, embarked on by the new administration, was a decentralization of authority on the staff, with an increasing amount of responsibility extended to the up-and-coming wheels on the staff. Like all new plans, it ran into difficulties; but if the Text is to continue expanding, this type of organization must become effective. In February of this year. Bob Berwick resigned as editor-in-chief of the pub- lication, after doing a terrific job, due to his increased duties as a Senior and as president of the graduating class. At the same meeting, it was unanimously decided that Miriam Rogers and Gerald Greenberg would serve as co-editors for the remainder of the year. Ken Kammer- man was selected as managing editor. In addition, the term of office of the editor was revised to be effective from January to January in place of the present school year term. This means that the editor-in- chief, relieved of his duties in January of his Senior year would act as advisory editor. This will allow the Senior time to manage his increased responsibilities as a Senior, mainly those of job procurement. The new editor would then have a chance to work with the advisory ' aditor for one entire semester, removing the problem of a successor to the editorship being partially unfamiliar with the problems that the job involves. Continuing as business manager is Ruth Denio and Marv Luba as advertising manager. At the end of 1950, the Text continues to plod forward, looking expectantly toward a change of environment and installation in its new office, looking gloomily toward the possible prospect of a decrease in its activities because wars must continue to be man’s first choice of activities, and they, after all, take pre- cedence over the publishing of a college newspaper. [47 1 t 1 L the pic wuZ T he Pickout, the annual yearbook of L.T.I., has progressed from the posi- tion of senior publication, which it was until the f 48 issue, to that of a school year- book, covering the activities of all classes for the calendar year; from January to De- cember, 1950. In order to publish an annual as this, a great deal of hard work and earnest co- operation is involved: from the lowest of assistants to the highest of editors, from the idea to the printed word, from the posing to the picture, and from the busi- ness letter to the check for advertising. All this, combined with the multitude of seemingly unsurmountable details, go into the finished product of this, your yearbook.

Last, the man who puts it all together. Layout Editor Herschel Stern- lieb. With appointments completed, the assignments were handed out and progress on the 1951 Pickout was under way. At every Textile function, a Pickout reporter or photographer was sure to be found. The letters from the Business Staff were sent out literally by the hundreds; and slowly but surely, the yearbook took shape. In the preparation of this type of book there are points where disagreements as to styles and procedures are brought into view. Always a primary consideration is whether to make this book only for graduating students or one where the whole student body’s activities are in- tegrated. Taking all possible merits of both issues the staff has continued to build the Pickout into a yearbook which unites all of the activities at Lowell Textile Institute. [ 49 ] T he Pickout Board is now completing its fourth year with a record of opera- tions that has justified its establishment at the Institute in 1947. The Board membership consists of the editor-in-chief and the business manager of the Pickout as chairman and vice- chairman, respectively, plus one repre- sentative elected by each of the four classes, the co-eds, and the Interfraternity Council. In addition to the above mem- bers, Professor Russell M. Fox, in his capacity as faculty adviser, and a non- voting secretary to keep, the minutes at- tend the monthly meetings. One of the primary duties of the Board is to award the Pickout keys to deserving members of the staff upon recommendation of the editor-in-chief. His nominations are based on a point system designed to evaluate the work done by the various members of the staff. The keys are awarded at the final meeting of the year and are given out at the annual Pickout Banquet. This group’s main function is to act in an advisory capacity to the staff of the yearbook. In the publication of a year- book, it would seem that high level” disagreements as to policy and methods would be of natural occurrence. By re- viewing all sides of the discussion and discovering how it will affect the different sections and classes of the undergraduate body, this self-governing board attains greater self-satisfaction and personal in- terest as well as integrated thoughts. The Board, this year, has continued to execute its duties faithfully and efficiently and has contributed, along with the members of the Pickout, much to make this latest issue an even greater success than its forty-five predecessors.

Yet, in that short span of time, the L.T.I. Military Band wove itself into a well-knit, pleasant sounding, musical aggregation. Last September, a group of students hit upon the idea of adding some color and spirit to our athletic events. A member- ship drive immediately began and was answered enthusiastically. Even the most impassive skeptic was forced to raise his eyebrows in disbelief. The spirit displayed by the volunteers was overwhelming. The initial rehearsals were long and tedious, but the members were not to be denied. After three weeks of preparation, the stage was set for an auspicious debut. The occasion chosen was the second home football game, with New England College. Our team scored more touchdowns that afternoon than ever before in the school’s history. Perhaps it was only coincidental, but the Band members could not help feeling some measure of reward for the efforts put forth. The 41-7 score was the Band’s victory also. Synonymous with the Military Band is the name of Richard Greely. It was through his initiative and dogged de- termination that the band was led through the trials and tribulations of its infancy. It is with great anticipation that the student body looks forward to next year, at which time it is hoped that each member of the Band will be completely outfitted with a uniform. With such driving spirit, the future success of the Band is assured. 151 ] Top Row: Brown, Kelleher, Dfckison, Dersh, Cushman, Goodwin, Girouard, Hayes Fifth Row: Goodman, Liacopoulos, Quinn, Ducharme, Sumers, Conley Fourth Row: Mack, Ryan, Cotterell, Levenson, O’Leary, D.

Ruth Denio starred as the young, redheaded socialite, Tracy Lord. She showed adeptness in handling her three suitors who were Charlie Little as C. K. Dexter Haven, Art Green as Mike Connor, and Irwin Ames as George Kittredge. Tracy’s relatives included Dottie McCarron as her spoiled, know-it-all kid-sister, Sy Rostler as her loyal, good-natured brother, Mimi Rogers and Bob Sumers as her well-meaning parents, and Luddy Rebenfeld as her female-pinching” Uncle Willie. Peg Peters as Liz Imbrie, the photographer, and scene-stealer Gerry French as Thomas, [ 52 ] the butler, were superb in their portrayals, thereby adding immeasurably to the success of the show. A large amount of credit goes to the director, Virginia Cyr, and to the set designer, Arnold Horwitch. In addition, one must not forget the performances given behind the scenes by the stage crew, the publicity committee, and the business staff. Under the leadership of Joan Gregg, the Players had a banner year which included such things as a banquet for the 1949 football team, a theatre party at which all the members were treated to a play, and finally, a w r onderful banquet. The opening of the 1950-51 school year found the Players electing the following officers: president, Arthur Green; vice- president, Charles Little; secretary, Ruth Denio; treasurer, Richard Beals. A cam- paign for Freshman members was the first undertaking of the year, and it resulted in the addition of several.

The Club consists of nine members, and they represent the largest number of foreign students at L.T.I. Since each member hails from a different part of China, the members find the club a very- convenient means of getting acquainted with one another. The club is a great help to any new members. Many of the past members of the Club have returned to China and have entered the textile in- dustry there. They have all been highly successful due to the advanced training they obtained here at Lowell Textile Institute. During the past year, the members have visited several nearby textile mills and machinery manufacturers. This is in line with one of the chief aims of this organi- zation, to study American technical ad- vances and production methods. [54] miuinat. abjjJmjjL cihdk.

This increased activity and interest was due to foresightedness in the plans made by the past three presidents — William Shires, Dorrance Goodwin, and Arthur Weldon. Some of the activities sponsored by the Society were field trips to textile machine manufacturing plants, textile plants, and textile research laboratories; lectures on the engineering aspects of textiles; a lecture on the use of the microscope for solving everyday textile manufacturing problems; a summer course in woolen carding; and an Industrial Clinic.” [ 57 ] Back Row: Uffner, Siegal, Freeman, LaPlante, Lein, Leventhal, Libow Top to Bottom — Girls: Grant, Keenan, Coakley Y es sir! Those howling, enthusiastic individuals you see down there on the sidelines are the cheerleaders. On their doorstep is placed one of the most difficult jobs on the campus, that of promoting and maintaining school spirit. Their role is that of a Pagliacci who, even though he would like to sit down and cry with the rest of the spectators when the going is tough, stands up and keeps ’em cheering. Ask Captain Sherman Lein or Co- Captain Arnold Freeman, and they’ll tell you that spectators are probably the most temperamental individuals known to man. When the team is out front, they make up their own cheers and the heck with the cheerleaders; when the scene changes and Ipswich U. is having a field day at our expense, they leer down at the cheer- leaders and practically dare them to try to raise anything above a mild whisper from them. But, reviewing their year’s work and accomplishments, we add these happy events to our memories: pep rallies — Beat A.I.C.,” with its scorched letters, torches, dummies, and car caravan . . . cheering at out-of-town games, particu- larly that rainy day at Worcester . . . the hand support campaign for the C.C.N.Y. game in New York and chartered bus to that game. . . organization of the Booster Club . . .Cheers From the Sideline, the first publication of a cheerleader newspaper . . . presentation of Joe Fan” as Textile’s answer to the Thing,” and the first Record Hops at Textile. Special mention to Mimi Rogers and Jerry Siegel, cheerleaders not pictured above and many thanks must also be ex- tended to the student body for their help in making the task easier. It is the hope of the squad that the fever” which has entered the bodies of this group will be passed along to each succeeding class as it enters Mighty Lowell Textile. [ 58 ] diAOJAAwn, awup.

Ref- erence to that particular branch of knowl- edge which considers the origin and nature of mind, matter, and reason are oft recurring, staple terms. They find their analogues in science, with words such as energy, force and mass. Unfortunately, the use of the philosophical vocabulary to describe thought processes has not ob- tained the same encouragement as has the language of .science in physical processes. The disparity make? itself obvious when we try to explain our interest in discursive reasoning. Simply put, we have tried to obtain an additional stimulant by which to activate our thinking beyond the limits of our personal participation in events. This however, does no more than to explain our reaction; but what we want to be understood is how we have come to develop within ourselves an intellectual force — how this desire for clear con- ceptions has assumed intellectual pro- portions. We state our answer philo- sophically — indicating the method as well as the result. The materialist hypothesis, that mind is a function of matter, is the basis for a clear understanding of the intellectual process. Thought, as a vehicle towards happiness, will limit that happiness by the accuracy of its judgments, which are conditioned by the extent of the indi- vidual’s experience. Stated then, with clearer conceptions, the Discussion Group and its activities, assume an importance of considerable magnitude. I [591 T he Film Classics Group is a relatively new organization at Textile. It strives to present yearly to the student body, a program of films whic h are both entertain- ing and informative. In January of 1950, the group began operations with a show- ing of the English movie classic Great Expectations,” based on Dickens’ novel. This was followed by such cinema master- pieces as The Grapes of Wrath,” Life- boat,” and The Lower Depths.” These pictures were so well received by the student body that the group was en- couraged to continue its activities in the September term. A program of eight films was conceived on a subscription basis. All the movies in the series were chosen from the high caliber collection of the Film Library of New York’s Museum ofModern Art — perhaps the most comprehensive of its kind. The films selected were: Camille,” M,” The Birth of a Nation,” The Good Earth,” Duck Soup,” All Quiet on the Western Front,” and , Destrv Rides Again.” Although this particular program series was chosen by the group mainly for its entertainment values, it was also felt that each film represented a certain quality of movie technique or history; and therefore, merited inclusion in the series. In its quest for a proper hall for its showings, the group had, at first, used Southwick Hall. However, adverse com- ments as to acoustics and seating comfort demanded a more suitable location. It was then that Eames Hall Lounge was tested and found to be much more satisfactorv. The present series is being shown there. The group prides itself on the acclaims of success voiced by its subscribers and has planned a new series of outstanding films for the year to come which it hopes will be met with the same enthusiastic support by the student body as has already been shown.

Members of the new T Swim Club, which now ' has received full recognition, are joining the Lowell YMCA en masse. The Club, formed under the initiative of Stan Cohen, will enjoy full Y” privileges. Membership is open to all students, swimmers or not. The objectives of the Club are: (1) to enjoy swimming as recreation, (2) to teach and improve the members’ swim- ming skills, (3) to build a team capable of competing with any college in our size class, and (4) to demonstrate that the team is worthwhile as a group subsidized by the A. A. The first and second objectives of the group are the most important. Students who want to learn how to swim or to swim better now have an opportunity to do so by joining the Club. A course in water safety will be given to the members which someday may save yours or some- one else s life. Let’s all get in the SWIM just for the H double 1 of it. Swimming and water games are fine recreational activities that everyone should and can learn to enjoy.

The cheerleaders become members automat- ically because of the integral part they play in sports. This year the Club sponsored a dance in conjunction with Lowell Teachers College after a basketball game between the Lowell Textile Institute Jayvees and the Lowell Teachers College varsity. The Club had distributed cheer sheets at the various football and basketball games. Before some of these games, organized pep rallies were held in which the band took part. The Club publication is Cheers from the Sidelines, which was issued before every game. This paper contained the news of the games, lineups, and general subjects of interest in relation to sports. At present the Club is striving to attain a constitution from the Student Council, so that it will become a permanent organi- zation within the Institute. The Club, after receiving the sanction of the Student Council, will do its utmost to bond the marching band of Lowell Teachers College with that of L.T.I. This marching band with baton twirlers and drum majorettes, would supply some of the much-needed color at football games. The Booster Club hopes that the student body will realize the work it is doing is for their benefit and that their support is essential to the success of all ventures. All the undergraduates that wish to aid in the resurrection of school spirit will be heartily welcomed into the Booster Club. Club meetings are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.

As soon as a man earns his letter in one of these sports, he automatically becomes a member. The club was organized last year and presently has a membership of thirty -nine. The main functions consist in helping athletes academically, improving athletics at the Institute, and fostering an ever- lasting friendship among the men who have common squad interests and yet among all the men participating in sports regardless of the particular squad with which they are associated. This year the V arsity Club has appointed a committee of four men, each represent- ing one of the major sports, and a manager to represent the club in the meetings held by the Faculty Athletic Committee. This is important, as the faculty committee will report to the president on the present athletic situation and recommend what should be done for the future. Having sizable interest in the athletic future and suggestions that may prove fruitful, the committee from the varsity club holds an important card in our athletic future. The Varsity Club, after Christmas holi- days, will probably run at least one dance to earn some money to procure other benefits for Textile’s athletes. Through money obtained from social events in the past, three whirlpool baths have been added to our shower room. Last year, the camera and projector used in filming the football games were, also donated by the club. It is hoped that some day this club may receive the backing of the alumni who were athletes here. This will help us put Textile at least on the same level with other schools in the field of athletic combat.

The team as a whole was a well- co-ordinated aggregation of ball players. The explanation for the unfavorable bal- ance of wins and losses lies in the physical shortcomings of the pitching staff. Goven and Swanson, two pitchers on whom Coach Rusty Yarnall had placed high hopes, were rendered virtually useless because of sore arms. The first win of the season was over Clark. It was the result of superb pitching on the part of Skippy McNiff, who gave up but five scattered hits while striking out sixteen men. But fate was again on the doorstep of Coach Yarnall when, dur- ing his second start (against Middlebury), McNiff also developed a sore arm. [67] Credit must be given to the achieve- ments of both the team as a whole and of the individuals comprising it. Left fielder Murphy attained a batting average of .359, which topped by a considerable margin his nearest competitor, second baseman Ducharme, who had a .279 average. Three other men were able to exceed the .200 mark. Canova, outfielder and first baseman, had a .232; short stop and outfielder Carroll had a .219; and third baseman Therrien had an average of .218. The season opened at Northeastern on April 13. The starting battery consisted of Rawitz on the mound and Angelo behind the plate. The infield was composed of Mann, Ducharme, Therrien, and Carroll. In outfield posts were Murphy, Canova, and McNiff. During the season, many position changes took place. Perhaps the best combination was attained on May 12, when Textile was responsible for an upset at Springfield by beating Springfield College by a 2-1 score. Rawitz, allowing but three hits, went all the way on the mound. He pitched hitless and scoreless ball the first six inn- [68 1 ings. Two hits in the seventh did not prove fruitful to the hostile Springfield nine. A series of a hit, two walks, and an error was responsible for their single tally in the eighth. Textile scored as the result of a seventh inning rally led off by a single by Therrien and followed up with another single by Ducharme. Therrien scored on the hit as did Murphy, who had gained first as the result of being struck by a pitched ball. The combination that went the complete game behind Rawitz was Angelo receiving, Canova on first, Ducharme on second, Therrien at third, and Aldrich at short. The outfield was well covered by Murphy, McNiff, and Carroll. For the future, however. Coach Yarnall is expecting the return of Irwin Needle who because of late classes was unable to play during the 1950 season. Of course, veterans Murphy, Ducharme, Rawitz, Carroll, and Aldrich will be back again. With them will be Ralph Hudson, Bill Copley, Larry Danza, and Don Ostrove — relief men who showed good promise during their limited plaving this past season. [ 69 ] A t the first call for practice soon after the termination of the football season. Coach Morey was besieged with new problems, this time off the gridiron. He had to find capable replacements for last year’s high scorers, Rudes and Leitgeb, who were lost through graduation, along with Mike Besso. Returning, however, from last year’s battles were Co-captains A1 Lyons and Irwin Sonny” Needle Brandt, Morris, Grady, and Smoler. Aldrich was unable to report because of an operation he had during the summer. As it was. Coach Morey was fortunate in dis- covering among the freshmen some ex- cellent basketball talent. This included Chris Chingros who at this time is one of the bright spots in Textile’s games. He is a six-footer who drives hard and has made the fans forget the exploits of Leitgeb. A1 Lenzi, a Lowell product, has found the range and can easily team up with [ 70 ] Basketball Statistics Players Goals Fouls Tot.

Along with these bright lights, Elmo Marchand, a six foot four giant, Horowitz, Brody, and Rogers also look promising. Thus this team, with its experienced and seasoned vets to stabilize it and with its freshmen and sophs to give it the needed drive, seemed to have it” with respect to potentialities. However, Coach Morey, striving to find a right andwinning combination, was forced in the early game of the season to use unorthodox team substitutions to give him some inkling as to whom to use. Thus, it was not until the University of New Hampshire game that the Textile hoopsters finally hit their stride. [ 72 ] outscored the A” team hut also out- played them defensively. Against NeW Hampshire in the sixth game of the season. Coach Morey switched from the two platoons to the combination of Needle and Chingros at the forwards, Lyons at center, Lenzi and Brandt at the guards. In this game, the five that started played throughout the whole game with- out one substitution being made. They played a heads-up ball game but tired at the end on the huge court and lost by the scant margin of three points, 41-38. The seventh and final game before ex- ams found the boys hitting from all cor- ners of the court. They bombarded Brad- ford Durfee to a tune of 80-61. Lenzi, playing the best game of his career, dropped in 34 points, which is just short of the record held by Lou Athanas in 1933 against New Bedford. Now that the right combination has been found, the team may go on to win more than their share of the remaining games and confirm Captain Lyons’ statement that we will win more than half our games. Up to this time Chingros is leading the scoring parade with 103 points with Lenzi second with 67. When the starting whistle blew for the first game at Tufts, Needle and Lyons were at forward, Smoler at center, Chin- gros and Brandt at guard. At the end of the first half L.T.I. led 24—21. During the second half, however. Tufts caught fire and went on to win easily 76-45. The next four games against Becker, Assumption, Merrimack, and New Bed- ford, were all lost. These games were all very close for the first three periods until the opponents put on a final spurt to win. At this time. Coach Morey installed the two platoon system. He used Needle, Brandt, Smoler, Lyons, and Morris on the A” team and Chingros, Lenzi, Grady, Horowitz, and Marchand on the B” team. In the three games in which this system was used, the B” team not only [ 73 ] W hen the whistle ending the 1950 football season sounded, the coach- ing staff, the players, and the students ' wondered whether Lady Luck would ever direct good fortune towards our side. With a large number of talented veterans returning and with a fine crop of n ew- comers, Coach Morey had been looking forward to winning the majority of his games. This goal would undoubtedly have been realized had not the team received its annual visit from the injury jinx. One by one, key men dropped by the wayside during the course of the season until, for the finale with C.C.N.Y., Textile fielded a team which had no resemblance to the original one. The game-tested veterans around whom Coach Morev built his team were Roger Sanborn, Len Plat- nick, Roger Murphy, Doug Grady, Irin Paris, Warren McHugh, Walter Polak, Dick Roberts, Joe Morris, Ira Pantell, Roger Lewis, Francis McKniff, George [ 74 ] Lawrence, and Don Dooley. Other promi- sing players were Francis Lewis, John Devereaux, Bob Mulcahy, A1 Lenzi, Bill Gabriel, Jimmy Valentzas, A1 Kupper, and Abe Essig. The squad was dealt a crippling blow shortly before the opening game when it was learned that Roger Sanborn, Doug Grady, and A1 Lenzi were out for the season with injuries, and Walt Polak, with a pneumonia relapse. Nevertheless, the team emerged from the Massachusetts Maritime game on the long end of a 7-0 score. This game did not display especially good football, but it served to show that this aggregation had great potentialities. The Terriers played their best game of the season when they swamped New Eng- land College by the unprecedented score of 41-7. Sparked by the running of Irin Paris and Roger Murphy, the team finally rewarded their fans. Murphy brought the crowd to its feet by intercepting a New England pass and galloping 70 yards to paydirt. School spirit had greatly improved in comparison to previous years, but this great victory precipitated an unprece- dented abundance of cheerleader-spon- sored activity. The whole school was eagerly awaiting the next game with highly reputed A.I.C. Professor Cushing even interrupted his Economics lecture to congratulate the team on their two straight victories and urged them to keep winning. The climax of all this preparation was reached when the Terriers took an early lead by scoring after recovering a fumble. This was probably the greatest moment of the season for Textile football, but a well-rounded ground and air attack by the boys from Springfield quickly eliminated any thoughts of an upset. Our boys tasted defeat for the first time by a score of 42-7. In the next game, with New Bedford, Captain Roger Murphy was injured after four plays. This crucial injury unnerved the team, and they fell back by a score of 22-7 before they re- covered their composure. The half ended [76] with our side on the one yard line; and, although the team came back fighting in the second half, they fell short of their goal. The final was 22-19 in favor of New Bedford. Much to the dismay of the players, no football season seems to go by without their playing at least one game in the rain. The game with Worcester Tech was such an affair, with both teams working their way up and down the field for three periods. The Terriers turned in two spark- ling goal line stands, but Worcester’s superior weight finally overcame Textile’s defense and pushed across three touch- downs for a 19-0 victory. McKniff. Lawrence, and Lewis, each of whom had been appointed game captain to replace Murphy, were outstanding in a losing cause. It was a greatly weakened team which took the long trip to New York. The back field was too light to deal with the heavy C.C.N.Y. line, and the boys tasted defeat for the fifth straight time by a score of 33-6. Although hindered continually by in- juries. this year’s team turned in the best record in the past ten years. The spirit at the school was also in a healthy state; and, with a few improvements in the athletic set up at the Institute, there is no reason why next year’s team could not win the majority of their games. [ 77 ] T he 1950 golf season at Textile re- sulted in several close matches. The team began to show class at the outset, but was definitely out-classed by Holy Cross. The best matches were played against Clark University and W.P.I. Both of these matches were carried to the eighteenth green, with the matches in both cases decided by the final putts. The team voted Frank Polak captain for the 1951 season, out of regard for his excellent play of the past season. Team players during 1950 were Dick Kelley, John Hayes, Dick Hausman, John Mulcahv, Mel Wulf and Ed Giard. Golf prospects for 1951 are looking up, with the retention of most of last year’s team and an influx of new Freshman talent.

Rifle shooting is now a minor sport at the Institute, and the Rifle Club is now the Rifle Team. The team has come a long wav in the past three years. For the first two years, the team participated in postal matches with other rifle teams throughout the country. Last year marked the firing of the first shoulder-to-shoulder matches. This year, a full schedule was prepared, including thirteen postal matches and five shoulder-to-shoulder matches, fired at our Lowell range and also at other colleges. Returning veterans of last year’s team were Captain Roger Jackie, Herb Feitilson, Paul Cushman, Jim Boutiette, and Dick Beals. Promising newcomers included Bob Swift, Kennv Miller, Abe Weiser, and Charlie Sturm. Postal matches were fired against Miami University, Worcester Polytechnic Insti- tute, Clarkson College, Queens College, Long Island Agricultural Institute, Kings College, Monmouth College, Cooper Union, University of Maine, University of Cin- cinnati, Michigan Tech, and University of Louisiana. Shoulder-to-shoulder matches were fired with Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Boston University, University of Massa- chusetts, Wentworth Institute, and the University of New Hampshire. The team also fires every year two events open only to the members of the team. These are for the Founders Trophy and for the Faculty Cup. The winners of these two matches have their names and scores engraved on the trophies. [TO] Back Row: Tewksbury, Szczepanik, Pawlowski, Berwick, Mulcahy, Scott Front Row: Schaaf, Bussieve, Montgomery, Hochber A s early as the middle of the foot- ball season, the candidates for the Lacrosse team, under the direction of Captain Richard Montgomery, began their preliminary workouts. These work- outs consisted mainly of the mastery of the pass, the correct procedures in setting up a score, and the establishment of defenses to prevent the opposing team from scoring. Montgomery, with a green group com- prising the squad, had his work cut out. The squad kept practicing the funda- mentals of the game during the limited time available until the weather became such as to make practice impractical. With the coming of spring, the squad again assembled to round themselves into shape and continue where they had ceased the previous fall in preparation for the coming season. Through lack of experience and poor co-ordination, the first game ended on the dismal side with L.T.I. on the short end of a 23-3 score against Andover. Not to be discouraged, the boys worked harder during practice and utilized all the time which could be found. The end result of their labor was nearly realized in the next game with Tufts Frosh as the opponent. The. stalwarts from L.T.I. were barely nosed out during the closing minutes of the game bv a well -executed last minute goal which made the final tally 6-5. The establishment of Lacrosse is en- couraging to those interested in school spirit, since here is a case of student action which evolved out of nothing but spirit and has persisted and grown to become a major sport in the attempt to promote a more completely sports-minded Institute. [80] [ 81 ] Back Row: Godfrey, Mann, Melhem, Berkowitz, Uster, Demas Front Row: Jacobs, Liekner, Baerwald, Steinsapir, Carlo I N the very beginning of the first se- mester, a small group of Latin and North American students assembled to form our first soccer team in many years. It didn’t take long before they had scheduled games with the toughest teams of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. After several weeks of training, the team was ready to fight for the Red and Black. The first game was against Keene Teacher’s; our boys were defeated 3-2. It was a contest in which victorv could have come to either team; but because of inexperience and intense nervousness, we lost. Bradford-Durfee was then overrun by a 4-0 count. This gave us a deserved first victory and a tremendous lift. The next game was against Fitchburg Teacher’s. The score was 0-0, until the last twenty minutes. At that point, Fitch- burg resorted to unlimited substitution. Their two platoons were too much for our two-man bench, and the game ended 3-0 in their favor. To prove to the Institute as well as themselves that the Fitchburg loss had not broken their spirit, the team crushed Suffolk University 3-1 in a game which almost ended in a fight. The last game of the season was playe.d against a highly touted New Bedford team, which, previous to this encounter, had rolled up twenty-nine straight wins. The teams played expertly and equally for the major portion of the game, and only in the last period did Textile score an abrupt goal. New Befdord was taken completely by surprise and could not tie the score, which remained 1-0.

Tau Epsilon Sigma, founded in 1927 bv two diploma students, has lived through the years under the guidance of Professor Gilbert R. Merrill of the Cotton Depart- ment. Its significance is, in many respects, comparable to practically all similar so- cieties found in colleges throughout the nation. However, in view of the par- ticularly excessive academic burden im- posed upon students at L.T.I. , member- ship in Tau Ep may be considered to signify an exceptionally high degree of scholastic achievement. Scholastically speaking, the require- ments for appointment are strict, despite the fact that appointment is automatic. The student in question must have no previous failures at other college -level institutions on his record, nor may any appear as a result of courses taken at Jj.T.I. Ih addition, he must have main- ained sufficiently high academic rating or six consecutive semesters to warrant placement on the Dean’s List for those six semesters; and his cumulative academic rating for those semesters must have reached at least a 4.0 level. Recently, changes have been instituted whereby the minimum Dean’s List rating has been raised from 3.5 to 4.0, thus making it mandatory for future students to main- tain individual semester ratings of at least 4.0 for the six consecutive semesters in order to be eligible for appointment. The ranks “of Tau Epsilon Sigma have grown steadily from tne time of its birth. It now points wit,h pride to more than three hundred members to whom has been extended the honor of wearing the Tau Ep key, the symbol of reward for de- termined and faithful application to scholastic achievement.

Wood First Row: Rebeiifeld, Lyons, French, Miller, Goodwin T he Nucleus has become firmly en- trenched as one of the most outstand- ing student participation groups at the Lowell Textile Institute. The Nucleus has a limit of fifteen members, who are the leaders from all major activities on the campus. Not only must a student be a leader in his prospective field, but also a comparatively high scholastic rating is a prime prerequisite for active participation. The Nucleus was initiated four years ago to serve as a focal point for students to meet and present ideas and reports regard- ing actual activities in the textile indus- tries. The members meet once a month, at which time one member must present a paper on a topic with which he is most familiar. The student presenting his paper invites a guest from the Faculty to join the entire group for this monthly dinner meeting in a local restaurant. The speaker at the meeting serves as chairman since the Nucleus has no officers. The member who will speak at the following meeting has the responsibility of preparing minutes and keeping accurate records of all trans- actions. In order that the Nucleus mav continue to exist at the end of the academic year, those members who are about to graduate are responsible for introducing new candi- dates from the Junior class for member- ship in the Nucleus. To be considered for membership, a candidate must have a high scholastic standing, a desire to participate actively in the affairs of the Nucleus, and a record of active participation in sports, organizations, fraternities, summer em- ployment, or other extra-curricular activi- ties. When unanimous approval by the members has been given, the candidate is invited to join the Nucleus. An effort is made to maintain a balance between chem- ists and engineers so that the members of each group may better understand the functions and problems of the other. The future success of the Nucleus is as- sured if the past can be considered as a criterion for rating the many accomplish- ments of this organization.

The girls had numerous opportunities to display leadership in school functions. Not only did they take part in the Student Council, Pickout, Text, and the Textile Players, but they garnered high scholastic honors. The annual dinner dance, the spring picnic, a luncheon at Vesper, and a week- end at Ocean Park Me., were m «« ' «� • activi ties prior to graduation, at which time six co-eds received their coveted degrees. The summer vacation was well spent by all; some worked, some relaxetL-and two girls became Women Marine Reservists. The SeDtember conclave produced manv interesting tales and plans, formulated for.the success of the new term. A Halloween party was staged at the Y.W.C.A. eamp,now famous as a welcoming co-eds. Hell Week” ensued and presented more of a challenge to the upperclassmen than to the pledgees. The formal initiation was held in December at the Pi Lamda Phi Fraternity House, at which many of the Alumnae were present to greet the new members and to reacquaint themselves with the old. Co-operation might well be the pass- word of the sorority. Each girl enters the Institute with a definite goal — to acquire an education in her chosen field. Educa- tion does not end in the classroom, but is carried over into extra-curricular activities and into a constant striving for a better understanding of environment. Back Row: Holmberg, Bell, Rottenberg, Goodwin, Robinson, Churchville Second Row: Ryan, Weldon, Roth, French, Luba, P. Tully First Row: Rebenfeld, Jackie, Silver, .Rutledge F raternities at L.T.I. certainly repre- sent some of the most active organi- zations on the campus. Although each individual fraternity is completely sepa- rate and distinct, there are certain common interests and common functions that are shared by all four fraternities. The Inter- fraternity Council is a delegative body, formed to co-ordinate and supervise these common interests and functions. It consists of sixteen members, four from each fraternity. A chairman, a vice- chairman, a secretary, and a treasurer are elected from these representatives for a one-year term. Probably the most important work of the Interfraternitv Council centers around the initiation of new members into the fraternities. It has undoubtedly been noted that the four fraternities at L.T.I. follow certain standard procedures as far as stag parties, bids, and Hell Week are con- cerned. These functions are supervised by the Interfraternitv Council, and such standardizations have been adopted for the [90J benefit of all students. The Council has always been ready to aid any student in the solution of his problem as far as fraternities are concerned and stands at all times at the disposal of the student body for such a purpose. The supervision of interfraternity sports and the awarding of suitable prizes to the victors have become a major part of the functions of the Interfraternity Council. Recently, the Interfraternity Council has embarked upon a program which is designed to spur the scholastic activities of fraternity men. At the end of each scholastic year, the fraternity having the highest average cumulative rating! is noted; and when one fraternity has the highest rating for a period of three years, it is rewarded with a suitable trophy.

The first step toward progress was the re-acquisition of the Lodge, which con- sisted of the same quarters occupied by the Dekes” last year. From this point on, it was just one gala event after another. Starting with a wienie roast, the fraternity held dances, stags, socials, open house nights, a scavenger hunt, and just about every kind of affair possible. One of the highlights of the first semester was the D. K. dance held at the Rex roof-garden. It was the first all-Tex- tile social func- tion of the year. Before long, pledging was upon us, and all hands pitched in to aid in the well- planned program. The most encouraging news of the vear was the great advancement made toward a more active alumni. Not enough credit can be given to the Alumni Committee for their fine work along this line. Many of the boys participated in intra- fraternity athletics. They battled it out with the other fraternities on the bowling alleys, the basketball court, the softball diamond, and also in the halls of learning. Of course, they gave a good account of themselves in each department. During the vears the fraternitv began to feel the pressure of the world situation, as a few of our bro- thers were called into the service.

It consisted of parties ranging from an old-fashioned barn dance to the tenth annual Monte Carlo extravaganza, which was held December 2, 1950. The beginning of the fall semester found Coach Morey and Lowell Textile’s football men as guests of 0 Pi at 31 Wav- erley Avenue. The very enjoyable evening included guest speakers, sports movies, and a discussion of Textile’s fall football schedule. O Pi continues to be a leading contender in all interfraternity sports including soft- ball, bowling, and basketball. It was in- deed with pride that the members saw their combined scholastic efforts for the school year 1949-1950 rewarded by the receipt of the Interfraternity Council scholastic cup — the second year in suc- cession. The Fraternity homestead in Belvidere, through the efforts of ambitious alumni and members, boasts a comfortable lounge in the former library, and a complete re- decoration of the second floor. Plans are nowin the making for both the Annual 0 Pi Formal Week- end and the 0 Pi Alumni Week-end. [95] Robert S. Barr James J. Barrett Marshall C. Bird James P. Boutiette John N. Carroll William H.

Wuester Master Students [96] G amma Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity wishes to extend its thanks to all of its members who helped in any way to make the vear the success that it was. This year was probably one of the toughest that any organization could experience at any time. The graduating class of 1950 took with it many brothers who formed the very backbone of the chapter. It also took a group of sixteen men out of a possible twenty-two from the house. Therefore, a complete rebuilding of the organization was in order. This rebuilding has just about been completed; and therefore, we are looking forward toev u more sue - cessfu. years. In retrospect, the year 1950 was filled with many affairs that carried with them the message of fraternalism. They provided many happy memories for our Senior brothers who will leave this year as well as eager ambitions for the underclassmen for the ensuing years in hopes of repetition of these never-to-be-forgotten functions: the Homecoming Party, the Monte Carlo Party, the New Year’s Eve Party, and the various stag parties held throughout the year. The invaluable assistance given by the faculty was a prime factor in the preparation and successful execution of these events.

Fraternity life was progressing as usual. Pledging was completed, and an entire week-end was devoted to welcoming officially the new brothers. Girl friends came from home to help celebrate the occasion and were treated to a holiday of festivities. Just prior to this gala affair. Pi Lambda Phi succeeded in retiring the Inter- fraternity Baskerball Trophy by virtue of the third suc- cessive year in which the Pi Lamb team the league won crown. Next came 4 the softball season. Pi Lambda Phi found that it had so many men who wanted to play that it was necessary to form two pla- toons. The experiment worked — theteam managed to win the first step toward per- manent retirement of the trophy. With the completion cf the second se- mester, time was taken for a short respite during which members devotedtheinselves to various activities. For some, it meant obtaining practical experience in mills per- forming the multitude of theory that had been absorbed while attending classes; for others, it meant becoming waiters or bus- bovs at fashionable mountain resorts; and for still others, it meant touring Eur- _ ope as far as their finances would t allow. 1 i [ 99 ] asses Back Row: Siegel, Krysiak, Fulton, Kerkhof, Green, Cashin, Henry Fourth Row: Bonacci, Berman, Hanson, Flint, Iannazzi, Sheldon, Ducharme Third Row: Berkowitz, Garvey, Greenhall, Ettenson, Gilet, Ginsburgh, Kupferschmid, Laurion Second Row: Fundakowski, Solkoff, Adler, Austin, Genereux, Gabriel, Pokraka, Cole, Leventhal, Mannilla, Uffner First Row: Hallis, Grant, Kiluk, Smith, Brown, Kinney, Gagnon [ 102 ] I T took, the Class of ’54 some time to dis- cover the hidden recesses of all the tunnels, the purposes of all the forms that must be filled for the Dean’s Office, and the hidden room on the fourth floor on the chemists’ side of the building. With many days of complete confusion, we rediscovered ourselyes and started to appreciate our days and nights here at Lowell. When all this personnel disorder was settled, the problem of class officers came into view. We were suddenly besieged by new friends, depicted in all sorts of fascinating posters patting themselves on the back and making the usual amount of promises, which we all took with tongue in cheek. After all, some of these promises did sound outlandish — a co-ed Lowell Textile?” Nevertheless, after a hectic and well- fought election, John Kerkhoff, Bill Gabriel, Sid Solloff. Willy Grant (our energetic cheer leader), and Art Cryan were the proud recipients of the majority of votes of their class members and thus became the first big wheels” of the Class of ’54. Because of the war situation, many of us, feeling the pressure from our draft boards or our own conscience on what to do, found ourselves in a rather awkward situation. Our class president, John Kerkhoff, solved his problem by enlisting in the Air Force and thus, at this time, the responsibility of the class rests upon the shoulders of Bill Gabriel, our Veep. After an enjoyable nineteen-day Christ- mas vacation (high school was never like this), we re-entered school with hearts in hand and rightly so. We had been told of the final exams that are given, and when the lists of exam schedules were posted, we nodded our collective heads sorrowfully. The lights burned all night at Eames Hall; moans and groans of despair shook Fifth Row: Swiniarsk, Oxer, Swift, Tweedy, Scarponi, Lind, R.

We died a thousand deaths both literally and figuratively, but we did survive to discover that college is not what the movies describe it to be, but rather a four-year-long struggle in which our minds are being developed and ex- ploited. We only hope that, with the clouds of war constantly over our heads, we shall be able to have the chance to realize those aims. We, the members of the Freshman Class here at Lowell Textile Institute, will try to list a few of the biggest and most important tasks that we, as a class, hope to achieve during the next four years. Since we are new to the school and the school life is new to us, it is impossible to tell of everything we hope to do for the students, present and future. Therefore, our only wish is that the goals we have set now will be only a small percentage of our achievements during the next four years. During our stay here, the Freshman Class hopes to set a precedent in the efficiency and operation of class and student organizations which will help other students to form a well -organized program of leadership here at L.T.I. Realizing that school spirit, although it is improving, is definitely lacking and that social events are at a minimum, the Freshman Class hopes to create a more active student body and to improve and increase the social functions at this college. Our first project in this respect will be a new system of hazing for next year’s Freshman Class. We think it will help a great deal in increasing school spirit. Scholastically, the Class of ’54 hopes to rank with the best and to leave a scholastic record which will offer a challenge to future entrants. It is only because we believe that we can maintain a good scholastic average that we are undertaking these necessary but time- requiring tasks. Our biggest gift to the college we hope will be in the form of moral gains and improvements which, like the college, will live forever. We also hope to be a class which, because of financial success, can leave some small token of thanks to help improve the college. Thereby, every Freshman Class which enters Lowell Textile Institute will have a little better setup both scholastically and recrea- tionally than the Freshman Class that went before it.

Its members, now well acquainted with the halls and tunnels of L.T.I., could tread their way with a surer foot. It didn’t take long for many of our wayward members to recall their nightly sojourns into the dark streets of Lowell; viewing the shows (and bars) along Merrimack Street and Moody Street which they had vacated last June. How- ever, after the first week of joyously celebrating their return to school and once again seeing their partners in crime, the unappetizing discovery was that, Yike! This second year is rougher than the first.” And so the night life that was so prevelant for such a short time reverted back to the math, physics problems, lab reports, and the usual rigmarole which differentiates between the college students and the unemployed. We, at the time, wondered, How did the other classes survive?” Perhaps with just this in mind as an incentive, we do not only manage to hang on but continue to advance. Fall brought football, and with it a new and startlingly rejuvenated school spirit. The squad, outstandingly dominated by some of the more stalwart members of the Class of ’53, came through handsomelv to the delight of the entire student body. Although the air was heavy with the rumors of the possibility of discontinuing football at L.T.I., the team shrugged them off and settled down to some hard work which paid off in an enjoyable football season for the spectator. Although the second annual All-Tex Formal was a financial failure, it was a distinct social success.

We all carried away fond memories of a most enjoyable evening while looking forward to next year’s formal. Although this is only our second year at Textile, the Class of ’53 can boast of at least one member in every club, organi- zation, and athletic team in the Institute. Many of its members perform important functions in the various publications, fraternities, committees, and other school organizations and are well on the road to assuming leadership in their groups. We ask the usual number of foolish questions; break the average amount of beakers, test tubes, and the like; fail the minimum or at times the maximum number of quizzes; and so we do feel that we are stepping into the footprints of our predecessors. Perhaps, to many of us, this seems to be of no great significance; but to all, it is agreed that it is only through the building-up of our educational faculties that we are able to maintain the high standards that Lowell Textile produces. It is our very sincere hope that we, the Class of ’53, may continue as a co- ordinated group over a successful path paved with memories of well-merited achievements.

Utmost in everyone’s mind as we greeted each other after the months out of sight was. What, do you think will happen? Thus, although we still had the fresh thoughts of an enjoyable summer, which some spent in mills, others in school, and a few select in loafing, we all re-entered Lowell Textile with a bitter taste of wav in the air — a feeling that perhaps the classes of ’40, ’41, and ’42 had suffered through. With some hesitancy, we started think- ing of the preparations for another school year with its normal amount of aggra- vation and work and of the fresh news concerning the outbreak of hostilities in the Far East. We therefore re-entered school with a deep concern over our chances of survival from the call to colors, in which all of us would be involved. Still, we had visions of closing out our remaining undergraduate davs in a blaze of glory if we would be allowed to do so. Members of the class have contributed outstandingly to the progress of L.T.l. athletically, academically, and socially. Many of our classmates are the back-bone for all the scholastic and extra-curricular activities in which the school partakes. We will form next year the nucleus of all varsity sports as well as other organi- zations both on and off the campus. Besides this, we are fortunate in having among us members of the Dean’s List and a large group of proud recipients of scholastic awards and scholarships.

It’s a funny thing when you realize that you are a Junior. Here you are one year from graduation, and there is so much yet to be done. Some of us even go so far as to think back to happier and gayer times when we were Freshmen or Sophomores, a real sign that gray hair is not so far away. A failed exam means a little less now, or maybe even Miss Foote’s registration is less painful to us now that we are practically at the upper strata of our education. Whatever it is, it has made itself quite evident in the past year. Be that as it may, the infamous Class of ’52 is just about ready to step into the vacancies left by this Senior Class. It doesn’t seem possible that three full years are already behind us and that there is but one more year in which we can fulfill any academic ambitions we hold. In its first and second years, our class was stripped of some of its members; but at the begin- ning of our junior year, it was certain that all our trials were over. We were ready to unify our efforts behind our officers in order that we might close out our scholastic careers in high style. The impetus of the efforts was given us by our four new officers — Jack Wood, president; Gilbert Bell, vice-president; Weymss Scott, secretary; and Curtis Allen, treas- urer. The elections this year were held in the spring, so that the new slate was prepared to go to work as soon as the year began. Plans are being made for ways to reduce expenses during our senior year, and the chief source of revenue appears to be through a highly successful dance. As a means to reach that end, the Social Committee has been working hard on tentative plans. The policies of the Class are once more being handled by a congress represen- tation — a system recently adopted in view of the response that usually prevails when a class meeting is held. The congress consists of one representative from each section and is presided over by the officers of the class. The primary advantage is that a representative ’portion of the members of the class is always available, and this group is more easily assembled than the entire class could be. We are now all looking forward to the happy event of becoming Seniors. To us, it wall represent the culmination of our efforts and struggles. One year from today, the Class of ’52 will actually be no more. Let’s all really work hard next year in putting our class right on top of the heap as the foremost graduating class in L.T.I.’s history. [ 112 ] [ 113 ] W E, as a class, can dote on the many lasts” that are ours exclusively. Perhaps the most prominent of these is our having lastly partaken of Ma Swan- son’s hospitality. Unfortunately, this is what might be termed a private joke, since only we, the Seniors, know its significance. It was a long time ago but worth the trouble of reminiscence. In addition, we were told that we were to be given an academic last.” This time. Professor John C. Lowe, known affection- ately as Limey,” informed us that we had accomplished what no previous class had been able to effect — his well-earned retirement. We must have resisted his attempts at educational inculcation too successfully. In addition to remembering lasts,”. we can remember some firsts” as well. It was during our Freshman year that one day Professor Daley, in the middle of an inorganic chemistry lecture, opened the window to blend his voice with a new sound — work had started on the first dorm — the initial physical sign of L.T.I.’s expansion program. Since then, we, as a class, have seen numerous innovations — the second dorm, the Alumni Library, and the Paper and Leather Building. In our last year, we saw a new President and Dean of Students. The offices of Director of Admissions and Dean of Faculty were also added during our four years. But now the four years are over, and to add a rather perplexing note, very few of us can enjoy what Dickens termed Great Expectations.” It seems as though Uncle Sam has tenterhooks out and they’ll catch most of us. This is far from a pleasant wav for members of a class to terminate their four years of under- graduate association, but there is no alternative. Still, those four years, in retrospect, were probably the shortest and most enjovable we’ll ever know. [ 114 J [ 115 | Edward Moseley Abbot, Jr. B.S. in Textile Manufacturing, Wool Option.

It was also the first ves- sel in history to travel more than 400 sea miles in a single day! BETTMAN ARCHIVE The Lesson of the Clipper Ships . . . Today, there is a timely and an in- spiring lesson for all of us in the story of the clipper ships. It is a story that shows how resourceful we free and enterprising Ameri- cans can be when a great oppor- tunity arises... a story that should remind us of the rich rewards wait- ing for those who dare to try new ideas in order to do a better job. The clipper ships were a very new idea in their time— a radical departure from the rigid conven- tions of ship design. They were America’s enterprising answer to the unexpected and challenging op- portunity for faster sailing vessels when the highly profitable China trade was suddenly opened to American shipping. The clippers were the answer because they could make two trips to China in the same time other ships took to make only one. Opportunities always have a way of opening up for those who make it a point to “keep out of the rut.” Belief in that simple prin- ciple has guided many of the poli- cies of Wellington Sears ever since its founding back in 18+5— in the beginning of the clipp er ship era. For more than a century this famous textile organization has given constant and generous sup- port to the vital spirit of experi- ment and new development while maintaining top-quality standards for the products which it sells and the services it renders. That’s the way Wellington Sears shows its faith in the future of the textile industry ... and of the nation.
