On that spring day, tragically in the bloom of his own years, passed on to eternity ' Bernie ' Larkin, the founder and director of Lowell Textile Institute ' s AFROTC band. Director Larkin not only possesed within himself all that is defined of music in the Muses, but had the extraordinary gift of the youthful and affable viewpoint that became contagious to every musician in his charge. Laughter was often his most effective baton. Yet wherever his baton was raised, organization, harmony, and perfection grew, and developed, and lasted. And always, ' Bernie ' toiled hardest, wondering perhaps why his friendships multiplied with his boys ' progress. It was because ' Bernie ' loved his Lowell Textile Institute AFROTC band, and his boys loved him. He was director of St. John ' s church choir, director and founder of the Chelmsford High School band and director of a Hollis, N. H. band, as well as private teacher of all reed instruments. It was while soloing with the Ronny Weeks and Leo Reisman orchestras that he became inspired with the ambition to found and teach whole musical units under his own methods and often his own arrangements. There is no musical score to tone-picture the man and personality that was ' Bernie ' Larkin. Perhaps Elizabeth Barrett Browning poetically said it best . . . Guess now who holds thee? Death, I said. But there the silver answer rang, Not Death, But Love. DEDICATION Throughout the entire textile industry is seen an ever increasing desire on the part of management to employ scientific methods for the improvement of existing products and for the development of new products. Because of this demand by an industry which the Institute serves, the Lowell Textile Institute Research Foundation was established. The stated purpose of the Foundation is to encourage and administer re- search sponsored by industry and Government at Lowell Textile In- stitute. The activity of the Foundation has become much broader in scope than had ever been anticipated. The services to industry that the Founda- tion has performed have surpassed even the most optimistic expecta- tions of its creators. This yearbook, then, is dedi- cated to the Foundation in recogni- tion of the work which it has done and will do to effect a liaison between scientific research and the practical utilization of the new ideas and methods that the textile industry must, of necessity, adopt if it is to maintain its prominent place in 1 American industry. 4 r r 1 r ! r r r r U I r. , RESEARCH FOUNDATION Prior to 1950, Lowell Textile Institute participated extensively in the technical development of the textile industry thru the agency of a special service program. This program made available to industrial sponsors the services of the faculty and the use of the physical equipment of the Institute on a nominal fee basis. However this special service mechanism did not provide a coordinating control agency which could establish standards of practices or procedures of administration to exploit fully the potential utility of the personnel and the facilities of Lowell Textile Institute. 1st Row: Mr. Raymond, Miss Groves, Mr. Skalkeas, Miss Boucher, Mr. Jones 2nd Row: Mrs. Lamoureaux, Mr. Wang, Miss Baribeault, Miss Jordan So it was that the Massachusetts State Legislature was requested to establish a central research agency. Thru the efforts of Kenneth R. Fox, past president of the Institute, and Martin J. Lydon, his successor, the State Legislature set up in November of 1950, the desired agency which is now known as the Lowell Textile Research Foundation. The Foundation was established primarily for the purpose of encouraging and administrating research sponsored by industry. The Foundation personnel, the Institute faculty and the student body jointly constitute the staff available for in- vestigating problems involving textiles, paper, leather, and related areas of interest. During the winter and spring of 1950 and 1951, a Board of Directors was appointed by the Board of Trustees of Lowell Textile In- stitute. This Board of Directors met in April of 1951 to organize the Foundation formally. An Executive Committee was selected, and Dr. Harold Webber was appointed Executive Director. The Executive Committee met monthly at first to establish policies and to consider procedures relating to the admini- strative mechanisms for the business of the Foundation. Now that this has been accomplished, the Executive Committee meets when deemed necessary, to review the work of the Founda- tion and to guide the Executive Director in the management of Foundation affairs. The principles of operation set up by the Executive Committee are followed in all re- search projects undertaken by the Founda- tion. Each project must be one that will make a contribution to the educational program of the Institute and must be one that is within the scope of the staff and facilities of the Foundation. Every regular member of the staff must be willing and available to accept responsibil- ity for technical supervision of the research of a project. Each faculty member is limited to sixty hours a month on any project to in- sure against research work interfering with academic work. There are many prominent businessmen on the Board of Directors of the Foundation who are engaged in the textile industry. Among these are, Mr. Kenneth E. Bell, Vice-President and Technical Director of the A. C. Lawrence Leather Company; Mr. Roland E. Derby, Sr. of the Textile Aniline and Chemical Co.; Mr. Kenneth R. Fox, Vice-president of Burl- ington Mills Inc., and former president of Mrs. Lamoureaux using the Tabor abrader Checking the reports Miss Baribeault and the Uster Yarn Evenness Tester Lowell Textile Institute; and Mr. Martin J. Lydon, President of Lowell Textile Institute. If some agency, mill, or other concern has a problem which it wishes investigated by the Foundation, it brings it to the Executive Committee, as no research work is solicited. If this problem meets the requirements of a project, the agency will be accepted as a sponsor and the research work will be started. A project principal is chosen by the Execu- tive Director, a man capable of han- dling all the technical details required by the project. Once he has agreed to undertake the job, the wheels of the Foundation begin to turn, and the project is outlined and set up with the Foundation handling all the finan- cial arrangements. The project principal will choose assistants to aid him in his work if they are needed. He may approach faculty members or students, graduate or under grad- uate, for this aid. The projects are subdivided into three clas- sifications, testing, development, and research. Testing is a service to a particular sponsor in the imm ediate area to perform required tests with the apparatus available at the Institute but otherwise unavailable in the surrounding area. Development is a service also to a par- ticular sponsor to perform specified opera- tions on machinery available at the Institute but unavailable at the sponsor ' s plant. Re- search is a service for industry in general with one agency acting as the sponsor but the entire industry receiving the benefits of any dis- coveries. Discoveries are usually published in one or more of the various industrial journals. The Foundation has at this time various projects that will be of great importance to the future of the textile industry. One of these projects is a survey to determine the eco- nomic and technological position of the wool scouring industry. The project is subdivided into four sections of study: the evaluation of present practices in scouring, an analysis of by-product recovery operations, an analysis of wool scouring by- products markets, and a new uses study. Professor Stuart Mandell is the project principal and the United States Department of Agriculture is the sponsor. Professor Man- dell has a full time assistant, an analyst, Mr. Robert Raymond. Professor J. B. Masaschi is chemical consultant on the project. Professor George G. Armstrong is the pro- ject principal of a study which will attempt Mr. Basil G. Skalkeas, Director of Research to determine the optimum backing fabric for abrasives. The basic system is evaluating the fabrics by testing means for a correlation between running conditions. In this project the Institute is offering the sponsor its unique facilities, including the entire Foundation staff and the Institute faculty, as well as full scale and pilot plant equipment. The method of attack that is being used by Professor Armstrong is to test the fabrics now used, and to test different fabric structures, coarser and finer than those used at this time. In this manner, the different test results when compiled may result in an answer, although a theoretical one, as to the optimum backing fabric. The United States Air Force has a few projects currently under investigation by the Foundation. These include a dyeing project tural fibers in order to obtain better yarns. These projects are sponsored by the Dow Chemical Co., the Bates Manufacturing Co., and the Carborundum Co., all in varying methods and degrees. All testing projects are handled directly by Professor Jacob Frederick and his staff. Tests on uniformity, strength of fibers, and fabrics are all conducted under his supervision with the excellent facilities available in the testing laboratories at the Institute. The Fractionating Column The Instron Tensile Tester under the supervision of Mr. Robert Peirent, a study of shock absorption under the -super- vision of Professor Adolph Katz, and a study of parachute fabrics conducted by Professor Joseph Masaschi. Other projects of interest are research to enable the improvement of synthetic and na- In recognition of the widespread need for a coordinated, detailed training program for research and management personnel of in- dustry related to textiles, the Lowell Textile Institute Research Foundation established the first annual Textile Workshop during the summer of 1951 under the direction of Profes- sor Ernest James. The Textile Workshop seeks to provide a better understanding of the complexities of textile operations. No more than twenty-six men are accepted, with a maximum of four representatives from one organization, for any summer session, the duration of which is six weeks. Men re- presenting chemical concerns, Government buying agencies, textile marketing and textile manufacturing plants, and research organiza- tions a re sent by their firms to assimilate the signed to provide an opportunity for observa- tion and operation of machinery and equip- ment, such demonstration to be augmented by informal lectures at the site of the equipment. This practical study, scheduled during morn- ing sessions, is expanded and integrated with theory at the evening seminars. The evening conferences are conducted by promi- nent textile scientists who present advanced theoretical concepts of textile research and technology.

The course of study that is followed includes detailed instruction in fiber manipulation, yarn and fabric manu- facture, dyeing and finishing, and marketing of the products of the industry thru the proper testing and control programs.

Schleu- ter, Chief of the Aromatic Chemical Section of the National Production Authority, Mr. Reed Dunn of the National Cotton Council, Dr. Walter Hamburger of the Fabric Re- search Laboratories, Mr. W. H. Boeker of the Owens-Corning Fiberglas Company and many other scientists give to the participants the latest developments in all phases of the textile industry that will prove valuable to the men when they return to their respective positions in industry. In the future the Foundation expects to expand its activities to include fields other than textiles, such as paper, leather, and plas- tics. This trend is in keeping with the aim of the Institute to expand the scope of its tech- nical curricula. The Foundation is proceeding to establish a program of academic fellowships whereby the members of the Institute ' s faculty will be granted leaves of absence for a period of a year. This work will be of a fundamental, theoretical nature, not for a specific sponsor. In accordance with the established policy, the Foundation has undertaken to encourage graduate fellowship programs at the Institute. The Research Fellowships established during this first year of the Foundation have served as a mechanism to integrate the teaching and research functions of the faculty as well as to provide a service to the industry for the ac- complishment of basic research and the train- ing of qualified research personnel. Continued efforts in this direction will be made in ac- cordance with a plan to satisfy the demand of an educational institution operating at the graduate level for a full complement of grad- uate students in all departments. The Celanese Corporation of America has set the pace for this program by the establish- ment of two academic fellowships in the Foundation which are now being actively pursued by carefully selected students. An industrial fellowship plan has been in- augurated to encourage post-graduate research within the Foundation. Fellows are sponsored by industry to pursue programs of research at the Institute that are specifically dictated by the wishes of the sponsor but are performed in the Foundation laboratories under the supervision of a senior staff member. These fellowship programs are built on a long range design, and the work is of a continuing na- ture which can be performed by several fel- lows either independently or as a research team. All these aims are in harmony with the policy of the Foundation to keep pace with the needs of industry and with the growth of the Institute. 10 Stand, loyal sons of L.T.I., Join one and all our hearts and hands. Stand, loyal sons and ' til we die, We ' ll pay the homage she demands. Live once more with old college mates; Laugh once more while time hesitates; And in this way, though years may go, Our common bond will grow and grow. Stand, loyal sons of L.T.I., Your Alma Mater calls to you. Stand, loyal sons do not deny The promise that all remain true. Let her be proud of what we are, Guard her ideals though near or far; For in this way our school won ' t die, But always live, Hail, L.T.I. Along the bridge the Monarch rode, Proudly his red-roan charger trode, His helm hung at the saddle bow; Well by his visage you might know He was a stalwart knight and keen, And had in many a battle been; Behind him rode two gallant squires, Of noble name and knightly sires; -r They burned the gilded spurs to claim, For well could each a war horse tame, Could draw the bow, the sword could sway, And lightly bear the ring away. Sir Walter Scott •i S M K« 12 x sms The Monarch and Squires Administration • Faculty rfT •v, f PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE V To the Class of 1953: In dedicating your yearbook to our Research Foundation, you have given added recognition to the importance of scientific investigation and study in every phase of our lives. In the short time the Foundation has been in operation it has established itself as a vital agency in research and develop- ment. In its excellent staff and expanding facilities, there is every promise of ever-greater contributions to scientific knowledge and industrial achieve- ment. We speak casually of our time as The Age of Science , and we are too prone to take for granted the countless wonders which surround us. Research, invention, and development have accelerated to a point where we are now impatient until each new discovery is perfected for our use and enjoyment. Science brings us an almost unbroken flow of new things for our greater well-being, comfort, and convenience. It is also placing in our hands new weapons which in their future refinement may in our time hold over mankind the threat of total destruction. It should be our daily pledge to devote our knowledge and our energies to the cause of improving the lot of all people by the discovery and develop- ment of those things which will make life better, fuller, and happier. Modern research and modern industry, in which each of us has a part and for which we all have some responsibility, must go forward together to build, to create as horizons widen, and to this crusade each of us must be dedicated, if our civilization is to endure and improve. There is no alternative. tw GL £1l 15 FACULTY Wentworth W. Williams Dean of Students G. Nathan Reed Dean of Faculty 16 J. Arthur Ainsworth Assistant Professor George G.

We are seniors eagerly awaiting the hour of commencement. But through our minds run recollections of our L.T.I, days. The tremendous days of being freshmen ... to the golden days of seniors. Our days at Textile have been filled with laughs, sorrows, and pleasantries. . . . We have seen L.T.I, grow as it has never grown before in its history. . . . We have been at times victims of these changes and at other times beneficiaries. Textile has not seen the end of these changes, but we, the class of ' 53, can certainly say that we have been through the changing era. Remember the freshman days! . . . the school hit a record enrollment . . . Marty Lydon became the Friendly Dean . . . and the class of- ' 53 was humiliated by the sadistic sophomores. ... A large national social frater- nity was born on campus. . . . Pep rallies for football. . . . Who can forget the Freshman- Sophomore field day when the frosh proved that they were men and humbled the mighty sophomores. . . . From the Hotel Astor Roof in New York to the Memorial Auditorium in Lowell came Tommy Tucker and his orches- tra to supply music for the first All-Textile Formal. The whole weekend was terrific. . . . Christmas vacation came and all trudged home with talk of L.T.I. . . . then came final exams (no comment). . . . Next came the tearful days of pledging . . . hell week with its laughs, leisure hours, and health producing atmosphere ... we were treated like , but those who went through it will never forget it. Next the femmes invaded Southwick Hall and the second Textile Fashion Show went into history. The Film Classics Group was next formed, and Eames Lounge became the scene of hit movies. . . . The parking problem (my, how times have changed) . . . and the first frosh-run event, the Freshman Dance proved to be successful. Remember the music of the Textile Tooters ? . . . and then it hit us — all was in a dilemma. . . . The Lowell Smog replaced the Text (for one issue any- way). . . . The news of proposed legislation for increased construction at L.T.I, reached us ... an escaped inmate applied for admis- sion at Textile (and almost made it). . . . The Textile Players scored again with The Phila- delphia Story . . . the Formal Dance was held soon afterward. . . . Election time came . . . interest ran high and out of the heat emerged Bob Mulcahy, our sophomore year prexy . . . then the magic date and Upstream Day, our first at Textile, was upon us. Soft- ball games (we walloped the sophomores) . . . drinks, bowling, food . . . and lots of fun. . . . Final Exams . . . study . . . cram . . . take exams ... a steady diet of study (hah) . . . and the summer came . . . bringing rest, work, and a chance to reflect the now past days of the humble freshmen. As sophomores, we returned to our home on Textile Avenue reinforced by a year ' s experi- ence of college life. Our incubation period was ended. We now looked down upon the new freshmen. Our textile curricula were begin- 28 ning to get specialized. We were taking new courses. We were now an integral part of L.T.I.— its clubs, publications, fraternities, and athletic teams. As freshmen we had made a good start. For the most part the class of ' 53 was beginning to settle down to the routine of school life. But once again our sophomore year proved that changes were the keynote of L.T.I. . . The Clean Dean, Wentworth Williams, re- placed Dean Lydon, who advanced to the post of president. . . . Film Classics Group now in its second year ... the cut system be- came official ' (we ' ll never forget that) ... an Athletic Advisory Committee was set up. . . . The L.T.I. Research Foundation was estab- lished . . . football was the main subject of bull-sessions ... the first generation of an R.O.T.C. unit at Textile reached our ears . . . the second All-Tex formal came, and those attending won ' t forget the music of Stan Kenton or the affair itself. . . . Remember when our young soccer team, only in its sec- ond year, defeated New Bedford to break that school ' s long winning streak ? . . . Haystack Hoedown, an L.T.I, and L.T.C. affair, really hit the spot! Did you have a blind date for i t? . . . and rumors were flying about the school dropping football— comments were a dime a dozen . . . talk of deferments . . . armed forces . . . students leaving school ... the Student Rules needed revising. . . . Remember when Dean Williams resigned? . . . Prof. Cushing went to Washington and a sports scandal broke at Textile ? . . . Yep, our second tussle with the Pink Issue was fought . . . Changes still going on— a frosh guidance program be- gan. . . . Paper and Leather courses were added to the curricula The Textile Players scored another hit with The Man Who Came To Dinner . . . . Official word finally arrived. An AFROTC unit was to start func- tioning at Textile the following year And Then we were naive remember football? Upstream Day — a success more news, this time of a different type — foot- ball was temporarily dropped. . . . Upstream Day 1951 Version. . . . Roller coastering, canoeing, Softball, and the beverage of moder- ation. . . . Study time rolled around again and final exams were upon us, we faced them with more confidence in ourselves and perhaps in our experience improved cribbing methods . . . and then once more we left our books for the summer to worry about draft statuses and the prospects of two more years at Lowell Textile. once clear class schedule is now a jumbled mass of K ' s, PL ' s, and S ' s. The beginning of this new semester also finds two new instructors added to the faculty, Mr. Pfister, and Mr. Rogers. We now settle down to our work and attempt to live up to the resolutions that we made last spring when we received our final grades. As we are thusly engaged, in the distance we can hear a faint voice shouting The Confederate Flag shall never darken these hallowed halls . The se- mester progresses in the usual manner. . . . a fire drill the look The time is now September, 1951; the scene is the familiar hall of South wick; the cast of characters is 500 young men and women who play the part of bewildered students, return- ing after their summer vacation to find that their school has been buried, during their absence, in a new numbering system. The President Lydon checks out the first book from the shelves of the Alumni Memorial Library. . . . The sophomore class runs a suc- cessful blind date dance with Lowell State Teachers College ... the AFROTC starts a rifle team to add to the many organizations at Textile . . . and now we p repare for the All 30 Tex Week-end . The long awaited week-end arrives, and with our dates, we dance to the music of Freddy Martin and his Singing Sax, make merry at the numerous parties, and watch the Fraternity All-stars beat the Faculty in basketball to the tune of 50-39. The Institute receives another feather in its cap when it is accredited by the Engineering Council for Professional Development ... the Freshmen run a smoker, and have as their guest speaker the great Swede Nelson, the whole student body and faculty spend an enjoyable evening . . . remember the open Film Classics Group was still going strong, presenting truly great entertainment . . . and the ROTC was getting sharper, and sharper . . . and then it happened ... no longer could we gaze from the bulletin board into that sanctum of mystery called the Registrar ' s of- fice . . . they had erected a wall separating their knavery from our timid glances. Next the cold yellow buildings took on a more pleasant air . . . was this some prelude to misery? . . . No, it was the approaching season of joy . . . Christmas was coming. Once again we took our leave of the school for a few weeks, to R.O.T.C. comes to Textile and now we come to the Grand Canyon house at Textile ... the colorful ROTC guides in the library . . . and the sound of all the machinery in the school run- ning at once? . . . Who will forget the day when the blood ran deep in Eames Hall Lounge. . . . The day when all Textile turned out to donate blood to the Red Cross. . . . The journey home, rest up, and enjoy our holidays in the best of Christmas spirit. The Christmas vacation is over, and we don our battle gear (beards, bags for our eyes, and trusty slide- rules), for this is the time for our encounter with mid-year exams on the bloody field of cumulative averages. . . . The start of the 31 32 second semester brought with it a new organi- zation. . . . The Newman Club which spon- sored many social and religious functions throughout the remainder of the school year. ... The AFROTC had Ted Herbert for its first military ball and all of us who attended had a wonderful week-end . . . next came the International Night , sponsored by the In- ternational Students Circle . . . and Eames Hall became a place of romance and intrigue with an international flavor. . . . What is this I hear . . . John Philip Sousa reborn? No! . . . it is our own ROTC band going through their paces. Do you recall when the faculty estab- lished the Campus Activities Committee ? . . . and when the Hillel Foundation estab- lished a group at Textile? . . . We were all quite chagrined when the bookstore bisected our usual 10% discount . . . and again when good old (?) hell-week began ... it was just about this time that the ROTC had its first formal inspection, and the boys had to look sharp or else. . . . Two new organizations were added to the already long list, with the incep- tion of WLTI, and the golf club ... we all said goodbye to Professor Broughton when he left his post at the head of the Paper Depart- ment to take over the Chemical Engineering department at the University of Rochester. ... O Pi copped the inter-fraternity crown in basketball. . . . Sports Night was a huge suc- cess . . . and the Hillel group had a big week- end. . . . What student can forget when the faculty upset the fraternity champs 41-37 ? . . . Lydon for President, shouted the mobs . . . committee appointed to investigate un-textile activities . . . yes, it was our third meeting with the pink issue. . . . Plans are made for the changing of the name of the Institute, and a poll is taken among the students to find the most acceptable name. . . . Lowell Institute for the Mentally Unbalanced, or The Lowell Un-normal School ... to mention a a solid base for liquid refreshment we ' re waiting for more shovels set ' em up, George few of the suggestions from the student body . . . Pigalle . . . The Riviera, . . . The Champs- Elysees ... all this was ' heard around Textile as the Newman Club presented its Evening in Paris. ... A note of sadness now came to our school, as we mourned the death of our beloved Band Master, Bernie Larkin. . . . These last few weeks of our third year came upon us rapidly, and were gone before we realized. . . . They were colored by Upstream Day, when we all journeyed to Canobie Lake Park to eat, drink, make merry, and then drink some more. . . . You Can ' t Take it With You was presented by the Players. . . . Final exams . . . worry . . . cram ... no sleep . . . who cares. That final day arrives . . . the stout gates swing wide . . . and we run for the trains, busses, and cars to leave for another summer, our cares and woes securely locked within those walls of yellow hue. Back again ... for another semester full of fun, frolic, and ulcers . . . the old familiar phrases are heard once again . . . whaja do this summer? . . . how much-ja-make? (money, that is) . . . ah yes, we were all enthused over this nice new semester . . . though short-lived, this enthusiasm carried us through those dreaded days of registration forms . . . course cards . . . conflicts . . . and all the rest of the preliminary red-tape. . . . Now we could settle down to the frat parties, sports, cutting classes etc. . . . Two new men in those sharp Air Force uniforms were now added to the ROTC teaching staff with the appearance of Capt. G. C. Mild, and S Sgt. C. McCoy. . . . The film classics group was in full swing again. . . . Omicron Pi celebrated its 50th an- niversary with a gala week-end. . . . Remem- ber when the soccer team won seven straight games? . . . and a contest was announced to find a new Alma Mater song for the Institute. . . . Lowell State Teachers College tried again (and incidentally succeeded) with an ac- quaintance dance held at the college . . . pretty girls, good music . . . CRAZY TIME. . . . Back came the bull-dozers ... up went the little wooden markers . . . the boys stood around to watch (between classes) . . . yes, the construction era was not over . . . ground was being broken for the new administration building, and we stuck another potential feather in our caps. . . . The film classics group presented Morocco, . . . the Institute had a fire drill (wishful thinking) . . . another serv- ice for the students ... a senior career room was furnished. . . . Our old friend Professor Gilbert Merrill retired, and left Professor John Goodwin in charge of the Cotton De- partment. . . . Maintenance man George S. Shay, the oldest employee of the school retired after 48 years of service. . . . Many indeed, are the cherished memories that we have of our days on the far side of the Merrimack ... the Orphan ' s Christmas parties . . . the All-Textile smoker . . . Paul Swaffield ' s humorous tales . . . the Military Ball. . . . Time will fog these memories, and some of these incidents will be lost to us, but always, we will carry with us, into industry . . . into all the new, bright horizons that we may chance to explore, an unforgettable rec- ollection of our college days; and finally, in our days of retirement, when we sit back to enjoy the pleasures offered by the niche that we have carved for ourselves in the wall of society, we shall have a long road to look back upon, with many hills and valleys; but re- flection on that longest and highest hill at the beginning of our journey, our days at Lowell Textile Institute, will furnish the most IN RETROSPECT. 33 Assembled at the table round Knights of varied thoughts were found Joint, were their aims indeed: Common order, strength in need.

The regular officers of the unit act in an advisory capacity for many of the extra- curricular activities at the Institute, and the Cadets take part in rlumerous organizational functions around the School. The unit ' s primary function is to produce as many well qualified second Lieutenants for the United States Air Force as is possible before 1955. In this process of preparing men for future duty as Officers in the USAF, the Cadets are instructed in such things as, World Political Geography, Meteorology, Aerodnya- mics and Propulsion, Organization for the Defense of the U.S., Radar and Navigation, Atomic Energy, and Radiological Defense, just to name a few.

Kelly, the Professor of Air Science and Tactics , is the Command- ing Officer of the Unit, and he is ably assisted by Captains Mesle and Ingersoll, who in- struct the Cadets in their academic portion of ROTC. For Leadership and Drill, the Cadets are under the guidance of Master Sergeants Hawkins and Taylor. The prob- lems of Maintenance and Supply are very capably handled by M Sgt. Blaise. Last Sep- tember brought with it, the addition of Cap- tain Mild, who was assigned the task of instructing the first Air Science III class in the technical aspects of Military Organiza- tion, Atomic Energy, etc. Also with the ad- vent of the school year 1952-53, along came Staff Sergeant McCoy, who assumed the clerical responsibilities of the unit. In the interim, between the printing of last year ' s yearbook and the close of the school year, the unit was very active indeed. our own AMC Pass in Review The corps of cadets participated in both the Armed Forces and the Memorial Day parades in Lowell, and at this time, Distinguished Cadet medals were presented to 14 cadets by the Queen of the first annual Military Ball, Miss Janet Sanborn, and her aides, Jean Bed- ford and Lila Counter. Beginning next September, there will be four classes of ROTC Cadets, the Senior class graduating in 1954. This will be the first graduating class of Lowell Textile In- stitute to which commissions as Second Lieu- tenants in the United States Air Force will be awarded. Those Cadets receiving commis- sions, accelerated their ROTC program by attending a summer session at the Institute, in order to complete their Air Science II course. This will make possible the termina- tion of both academic and ROTC programs simultaneously. Out of the Sophomore class, there were 42 Cadets who expressed their wishes to take this accelerated summer course. Their sincerity was proven beyond any doubt, for they could be seen every morning be- tween the hours of 7:00 and 7:30, drilling un- l.; v--. r the ' old man ' hands out orchids 1st Row: Demas, Wark, Waugh, Horowitz, Cashin, Kennedy 2nd Row: Laurion, Ginsburgh, Riley, Tournas, Nichols, Mavro, Paris I.

Among the highlights of the Summer session, was a field trip to Westover Air Force Base which in- cluded a complete guided tour of the base, lunch at the officer ' s club, and a look-see into the everyday operational procedures of a largely administative AF base. During the Summer session, Cadets Ginsburgh and Laur- ion were presented Distinguished Cadet med- als by Colonel Kelly. To climax the Summer course, and in conjunction with the USAF drive to gain Air Crew applicants, all of the Cadets were taken on orientation flights out of Bedford AFB, at which time each of them were given the oportunity to pilot, and navi- gate the crafts. In November of 1952, the Arnold Air Society presented the Second annual Military Ball, which was held in the Bartlett School auditorium, and although it was a bad night, the attendance far surpassed that of last year ' s Ball.

Also, in the month of November, all the Sophomores made a mass flight in the Gooney Bird, which is the Air Force terminology for the C-47. The purpose of this Air Lift was to acquaint the Cadets with the principles and procedures of Air Force flying. The Arnold Air Society was in the lime-light again when four Cadets were sent the band in action 40 Tst Row: Pedrick, Madden, Capt.

Adler, Lawrence, Garvey, Scarponi, Mulcahy, McNamara, Devereaux, Bodenhorst, Kelley , im i i ii - ' ' 1 1 1 i U- -2 ? ?- Ml Since its inception six years ago, the Student Council has been the leading organization around the campus. This past year was no exception; the Council assumed greater re- sponsibilities than ever before. Due to the continued expansion of the Insti- tue and the decrease in enrollment, a problem which has touched many other colleges also, many complex and strained situations devel- oped. The Student Council, performing its usual duty as the Student Body moderator, had a major influence on the solution of these numerous and varied problems. Its liaison duties between the administration and the Student Body has resulted in the satisfactory solution of many individual problems. The first big function of the past year was. the All-Textile Smoker which was the grea est ever. The lounge was filled to overflowi by both students and faculty to hear Pa Swaffield. If this was an indication of the fu- ture turnouts at this annual event, it will truly be a gain for Lowell Textile ' s school spirit. The outstanding yearly undertaking of the Student Council, the All-Textile Formal, was held on February 14, at the Crystal Ballroom in Andover. As in the past, the affair was a big success, and everybody had a wonderful week-end, dancing to the cordial music of Shep Fields and his Orchestra, attending the many frat parties, and showing their dates around the school during the Open House. After the Ball was Over, as the song goes, a general feeling of satisfaction prevailed among the students, and everyone was look- ing forward to next year ' s All-Textile formal. 44 Donald Siegal William DeFusco PICKOUT ill The members of the 1953 PICKOUT would like to tell you the story of your yearbook. As has been the case in every other year, the members of L.T.I. ' s annual publication felt that this yearbook was the best of all. It has always been a natural feel- ing for persons who have put so much time and effort into a project of this kind to feel that way, and it seems that this pride was well founded in this case. But how was the 1953 PICKOUT conceived, worked on, and finally produced in its entirety? This, then, is a short story of the 1953 PICKOUT. The hierarchy of the staff got together one afternoon in September to decide on an . â–  Prof. Fox Prof. Stearns appropriate theme for the yearbook. Many ideas were brought forth only to be discarded for one reason or another. At last the ideal theme was hit upon: why not have a TALES OF TEXTILE theme? Each article could tell its own particular story of the past year ' s activities. Then the theme could be nicely tied together with the proper artwork, separator copy, and layout. Every- one enthusiastically accepted the idea, and that was the conception of the 1953 PICK- OUT. 1st Row: Brier, Prof. Stearns, Siegal D., DeFusco, Prof. Fox, Leventhal 2nd Row: Bass, Karp, Brown W., Missry, Frank, Ponfy 3rd Row: Weissenborn, Legow, Rochelson, Silverman, Canovai, Adler E. Alright, you guys . . . The next step was to organize an efficient staff. Since many of the previous staff ha d graduated, this was no easy task; however, in a few short weeks all was under way. As- signments were given out, deadlines decided on, and work begun. General confusion reigned supreme during those days of Oc- tober, November, December, and January. There was the getting of seniors to Loring Studio for their formal pictures. There were those two days of formal group pictures to schedule, and run off. Pictures were taken, rejected, and retaken. Meetings and other activities were covered. Rough layouts were drawn up, corrected, and put into final form. 1953 PICKOUT STAFF EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Donald Siegal CO-ASSOCIATE EDITORS Daniel Brier Bernard Leventhal Editorial Assistants Floyd Frank Lewis Silverman ART, LAYOUT EDITOR Nancy Geary Art Assistants Edward Adler Morton Saks Layout Assistants Alan Marcus Leon Missry David Torchia PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR Irin Paris Photography Assistants Peter Canovai James Knox Bernardo Kupferschmid Karol Rochelson REWRITE EDITOR Kenneth Kamerman Rewrite Assistants Melvin Ettenson Florlan Weisenborn BUSINESS STAFF BUSINESS MANAGER William De Fusco ASSOCIATE BUSINESS MANAGER William Kyriacopoulos Business Assistants Marvin Baevsky Lawrence Bass William Carty Marcella Czekanski Carol Ann Dunn William Kaplan Herbert Karp Elaine Kenney Arthur Tournas LITERARY EDITOR Frank Carolan Literary Assistants Gerald Boches Howard Ponty FRAT, CLASS EDITOR Lawrence Horowitz Frat, Class Assistants Donald Legow Robert Swift SPORTS EDITOR Robert Greenberg Sports Assisfanfs Joel Berger Seymour Rekant 1st Row: Horowitz L., Kamerman, Paris, Geary, Carolan, Greenberg 200 Row: Boches, Velantzas F., Czekanski, Kenney, Dunn, Berger 3rd Row: Marcus, Ettenson, Flannery, Baevsky, Kyriacopoulos J -«■«■ So who ' s a P.L.P.? Take a letter, Miss Smith Stories were handed in, read, corrected, re- written, and reread. It seemed as though we were working in the dark because while we were doing all these things, no one actually knew what the yearbook would finally look like. The last and one of the most important decisions made was the choice of the cover. Then there was the 1953 PICKOUT BOARD. This board had a two-fold purpose with regard to the yearbook. These two func- tions were to act in an advisory capacity to the yearbook staff and to give out informa- tion concerning the progress of the yearbook to the student body. Both these functions were accomplished very well by the follow- ing members of the board: Professor Fox, Donald Siegal, William DeFusco, Manuel Rocha, Marvin Baevsky, Elaine Kenney, Francis McKniff, Jean Cryan, and George Lewis. PICKOUT BOARD Isf Row: Siegal, Prof. Fox, DeFusco 2nd Row. Baevsky, Kenney, Rocha TEXT Kenneth Kamerman Harvey Fishman For those who have wondered what goes on in that little office in the library basement, with the letters TEXT on the door; here is the story of The 1952 TEXT, Lowell Textile ' s bi-monthly student publication. Elections have been held each year at the close of the first semester, and in last year ' s election, Kenneth Kamerman was chosen to be Editor-in-Chief for a term of twelve months, beginning in January of 1952, and ending in December of the same year. In October of 1952, Editor Ken, and Melvin Ettenson, who was then Co-Managing Edi- tor, went to New York City, where they at- tended the Associated Collegiate Press con- vention. While there, they each took a short course in Journalism, which was given by Prof. Mandell prominent editors and professors in the field of Journalism. A copy of The TEXT was submitted for criticism, and the boys were well pleased with the results. The critic- isms made were considered, and plans were made for a new, and streamlined, TEXT. In November of 1952, the first streamlined issue of The TEXT came off the press. In keeping with the trends of modern day jour- nalism, narrower columns were employed, a paste-up we are not losing money! the Bobbsey twins one-family-type standard was established, which produced clearer and more uniform copy, and a four-page format replaced the six-page format of old. A policy of more copy and less advertising was adopted, whereby more columns of the series type were developed, and more consistency was encouraged among the staff. In January of 1953, Mel Ettenson was elec- ted Editor in Chief of the Publication, and he stepped into the shoes of the worthy K. Kamerman, and assumed all the worries and responsibilities that go along with this job. The issues of the TEXT appeared one after the other, and they seemed to get better as the year progressed.. The publication of each issue- of The TEXT entailed many long hours of writing, rewriting, and lay-out, on the part of the Editor and his staff. But, its worth was proven in the long run by the interest created among the students in all extra-curricular activities, and the increase in school spirit that was promoted by the all-student publication. 1st Row: Ettenson, Mr. R.

Wark Secretary Nancy J. Geary Treasurer Harry Berman David Abrahams Ranking high among all the various organi- zations on our campus is the dramatic society of Lowell Textile Institute, fittingly named the Lowell Textile Players . Since 1906, the Players, who first started with minstrel shows, and then in 1923 began producing Broadway comedies, have brought forth annually a ma- jor production. It is no wonder that the stu- dents wait in anticipation each year wonder- ing which play will be presented and literally flock to the theatre where it will be presented. Selecting only the greatest Broadway smashes such as The Man Who Came To Dinner (1951), a hilarious comedy, and The 1st Row: Berman, Libbey F., Mr. Pfister, Wark, Abrahams, Prof. Ouellette, Geary, Lawrence 2nd Row: Khoury, Danza, Rekant, Missry, Mavro, Freeman, Torchia, Hall 3rd Row: Bonacci, Samson, Canovai, Goodman, Adler E., Weissenborn, Marcus, Ganz 4th Row: Legow, Ettenson, Ricard, Barber, Stone, Fox, Beals Philadelphia Story (1950), not to mention other hits, the Players have achieved the res- pect and admiration of every theatre goer on campus. The 1952 production, You Can ' t Take It With You , was a tremendous success for it seemed as though the individuals portraying the parts, stepped out of the book onto the stage to portray themselves. In this play, each person was a character in his own right. Dick Beals played Grandpa Vanderhoff , re- tired, head of the family, collected snakes, visited zoos, and solved all problems, includ- ing one concerning income tax evasion, legally. Ruth Denio was the mother , former artist, and now writer on religion, sex, and war. Essie, the hopeful twinkle-toed ballet dancer was played by Peggy Peters. Mr. De Pinna , Lenny Goodman, came to deliver ice one day and decided to stay. He helped manu- facture fireworks and posed for Penny when she was in an artistic mood. Paul Syca- more , Dave Abrahams, was a manufacturer of pyrotechnics (fireworks). Other members of the cast included Elaine Kenney, Bob Hall, Fran Coakley, Don Wark, Tina Velantzas, Ed Dugeon, Bruce Dickinson, Bert Feinberg, Mimi Rogers, Bill Belanger, Pat Liston, Jim Ganz, Dick Ledgett, and Dick Ecklund. A great deal of the success was due to the un- tiring efforts and assistance of our most charming directress, Mrs. Virginia Cyr. Last, but by no means least were the stage crews and all those whose ideas made the set as vivid as possible and gave life to the stage. A delightful social event is held annually when the Players ' banquet rolls around and the traditional Player ' s Key is presented to outstanding members of the dramatic society. This banquet usually follows the play each spring. The play picked by the group for their 1953 production was that humorous hit, My Sister Eileen , and at the writing of this article, re- hearsals had already begun. There is no doubt that this play, too, will be up to the high standards of all the previous productions. 1st Row: Dunn, Kenney, Cryan, Perry, Liston, Czekanski, Hunt, Velantzas F. 2nd Row: Mulcahy, Devereaux, Scarponi, Garvey, Dielendick, Denio, McHugh, Carty 3rd Row: Fletcher, Austin, White, Flannery, MacLellan, Oxer, Robbins l-r fl.i-.. ,T iiW Christmas party Take me, I ' m yours!

HILLEL List of Officers President Melvin V. Wiener Vice-President Allen C. Cohen Secretary-Treasurer Joseph Levy The Hillel Councellorship at L.T.I., though only in its second year, carried on a season of varied activities. The Hillel program con- tained an even distribution of social, cultural, and religious aims. Several Sunday brunches, held at the Lowell Hebrew Community Center, featuring as a specialty, bagels and lox, proved successful. There was also a dance for the Hillel mem- bers, which turned into a highlight of their social season. On a not-so-light vein have been many weekly discussions held in the Student Activity room of the library. These discussions were held in conjunction with Rabbi Warren, of Lowell, and involved every phase of Jewish history and life. The second semester saw the continuance of the discussions, a Music Festival where Jewish folk songs and hymns were presented on recordings, books on Judaism given to the library, and a special Seder ceremony in com- memoration of the Passover holiday.

A Day of Recollection, starting with the re- ceiving of Holy Communion in the morning and ending with a Holy Hour in the even- ing was conducted by Reverend M. Joseph O ' Looney, C.S.P. Professor Julian Roberts spoke to the group about the life of Henry Cardinal Newman. A Maryknoll Missionary, expelled from Red China, presented a grip- ping and timely talk on Communist China. A Paulist discussed Catholic Art and Culture with the group. The Holy season of Lent was observed with a Communion Breakfast and a Cana Conference, with four prominent speakers, one cleric and three laymen, present- ing views on the family and family life. Throughout the year a discussion group, with the chaplain serving as moderator, has met to discuss matters concerning Religion, Theology and Philosophy. Through these activities it is the hope of the Chaplain, the outgoing and the incoming officers, that the Newman Club will succeed in the primary service of the organization. 1st Row: Mulcahy, McKniff, Brosnan, Dorsch, Garvey, Devereaux, Copley 2nd Row: Rocha, Strzelewicz, Carty, Cryan, Geary, Liston, Maclellan, Lawrence 3rd Row: Barrett, Frei, Carroll, Richard, McHugh, Hogan, Magnant 4th Row: Beals, Ouellette, Kelleher, Nelligan, Girard, Walsh J.

The American Association of Textile Chem- ists and Colorists is the only national organi- zation, devoted exclusively to textiles, that is actively represented at Lowell Textile In- stitute. On the sixteenth of December in the year 1922, Dr. Louis A.

This past year was one of advancement and accomplishment with many educational semi- nars and movies, highlighted by the national convention, which was held this year at the Hotel Statler in Boston, Mass. At this con- vention almost all the chemical companies in the United States were represented with ex- hibits and demonstrations. There were also many seminars, symposiums, and movies de- voted to the Textile industry. Back on the school scene, a seminar on Surface Active Agents was given by Mr. Robert E. Morrison, the members went on a field trip to the Champion-International Paper Co., Dr. Avery- A. Morton, of M.I.T., presented a seminar on Synthetic Rubber, and numerous interesting movies were shown such as The Dupont Story, and Rainbows To-Order, to mention two. Truly, the school year 1952-53 was a great year for the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists here at Lowell, and with the ever growing importance of Chem- istry in all fields of endeavor, great expecta- tions are held for the AATCC in years to come. lsf Row: Canovai, Demos, Copley, Finnie, Boches, Carolan, Sanborn 2nd Row: Brosnan, Nicalek, Geary, Liston, Velantzas, Berger, Profio 3rd Row: Chiklis, Pelletier, Cobin, Flannery, Fox, Velantzas J., Crean ENGINEERING SOCIETY T iinT iT i iflfciTiniii iflHiTiiifc rvvvv Charles Tewksbury List of Officers President Charles G.

Motion pic- tures about textile and engineering subjects have also served to fulfill this purpose. Semi- nars by men in the industry and discussion groups among the students prompted an in- formal exchange of ideas. During the past year, the society has spon- sored mill trips, movies, and speakers. Out- standing in the year were the Fall Banquet, at which a very interesting talk on a new basis for quality was presented by Mr. Kenneth Fogden of the Merrimac Manufacturing Company and a motion picture entitled, Heat and its Control , sponsored by the Johns-Manville Company.

The honor society is ably directed and guided by Profes- sor Gilbert R. Merril of the Cotton Depart- ment. The reqirements for membership in Tau Epsilon Sigma are, that the student either be on the Dean ' s List for six straight semesters, or that he maintain a 4.0 average for his four years. Membership in Tau Epsilon Sigma is symbolized by the gold key, which is proudly worn by all its members. As long as Tau Epsilon Sigma is active here at Textile, the students will be given added initiative to strive for higher goals scholastically, and through this will establish clearer paths to success for themselves. 1st Row: Bagdon, Kelley, Abrahams, Richard 2nd Row: Flamand, Devereaux, Pihl, Kaslow, Greenberg NUCLEUS Members of Nucleus David Abrahams Michael Dielendick Bernardo Kupferschmid George Lawrence Robert Adell Edgar Baerwald John Devereaux Donald Finegold Thomas Garvey Kenneth Kamerman Robert Mulcahy Robert Robey Robert Swift Charles Tewksbury Donald Wark Five years ago, a new society was founded at Lowell Textile Institute. This organization was known as The Nucleus. Its purpose was two-fold; To provide a means whereby all the members might benefit from the indivi- dual member ' s experiences in industry, social life, and in general, his overall experiences associated with his college career. Secondly, to prepare its members for their approaching endeavors in Industry and Business, by fa- miliarizing them with the intricacies of con- ducting seminars, public speaking and hu- man relations. Membership has been restricted to fifteen Juniors and Seniors who have been selected and recommended by the previous year ' s members, because of their high scholastic standing, and their interest and participation in extra-curricular activities around the school. Meetings were held once a month, and each member had an opportunity to take over one of these meetings, and conducted a seminar in the subject of his choice. This appointed chairman had the privilege of in- viting one guest, who may be a member of the faculty, or any other person so desired. This chairman also had to handle the an- nouncements of the meeting, the arrange- ments for the usual dinner, and the informal discussion and question period that followed each meeting. Since there were no elected officers, the monthly chairman and the chairman for the next scheduled meeting, who usually acted as recording secretary, were the members who have charge of the organization.

The Film Classics Group is a well appreci- ated organization around Textile, and it has accomplished much in the way of student entertainment and relaxation since its forma- tion three years ago.

Karp The year, 1953, a year scheduled to bring about such an event as the opening of a newly built, modern administration building, has seen already another big incident, the Insti- tute ' s own broadcasting station, WLTI. Operating on a frequency of 1450 kilocycles, the station can only be heard in the dormi- tories. Because of this, WLTI did not fall under the jurisdiction of the F.C.C. The radio Edward Bonacci station ' s main purpose is to supply the stu- dents with good, uninterrupted music. It also supplies the students with news broadcasts concerning school life. WLTI opened many opportunities for those students interested in such phases of radio as electronics, dramatics, writing, and speaking. WLTI has been an ex- ample of Lowell Textile Institute ' s trend to- wards expansion and it has been felt that this will continue in the future. 1st Row: Karp, Bonacci, Berman 2rd Row.- Weisser, Weissenborn, Ettenson 3rd Row: Carolan, Barber, Sargent, Hince • V OUTING CLUB â–  â– i hh The aims of the LTI Outing Club have been to promote interest in hiking, mountain climbing, picnicking, cook-outs and various other outdoor activities. These purposes have been accomplished by trips to different spots during vacations and on weekends. The highlight of this year ' s Outing Club ' s season was a week-long trip to Quebec, Canada. The excursion took place during the spring vacation. While in Quebec, the club members saw many of the famous talked about places of interest, and enjoyed them- selves thoroughly. Two trips to New Hampshire have also been included within the club ' s activities. the old campfire Prof. Chace, Kenney, Liston, Gilet, Geary, Mr. MacAusland Both of these trips proved to be very success- ful. The first, a cook-out which will long be remembered, was held at the Kingston State Park. The other was a trip to the White Mountains, the most exciting part of which was the climbing of Mount Major, near Lake Winnipesaukee. With plans made for next year, all the members are looking forward to another good time in the Outing Club. List of Officers President Kenneth B. Hallas Vice-President Florence P.

Gilet there ' s gold in them thar hills CHINESE STUDENTS CIRCLE Victor Kao An organization familiar to all of us here at Lowell is the Chinese Students Circle. Or- ganized before 1930, the club has had as many as 25 members from the Institute. The club, which has been under the watchful super- vision of Professor James Guthrie Dow since its beginning, has a two-fold purpose. First and foremost in the minds of the Chinese Students is the introduction of the traditions and customs of China to the American stu- dents, and the fostering of a strong and last- ing friendship with the other students at Tex- tile. Secondly, the Circle corresponds with, and participates in, the activities of Chinese Students clubs in other colleges. Among the many activities sponsored by the club we find a table-tennis tournament, skating parties, and co-sponsored functions with the International Students Circle. Presi- dent of the Circle during the 1952-53 school year was Victor Kao, and among the rolls of membership, we find : David Kwok, Andrew Liu, Michael Tang, and James Wang. Liu, Kwok, Kao, Tang Prof. Dow DUPLICATE BRIDGE LEAGUE President Robert Olney Vice President Thomas F. Garvey Sec. -Treasurer Herman Brown Tournament Director Prof. Wm. Chase Faculty Advisor Walter J. Lisien This year marked the debut of a new or- ganization on the campus, the L.T.I. Dupli- cate Bridge. Although bridge has been a fa- vorite indoor activity at Textile for years, this was the first organized movement. The purpose of this group was to promote faculty-student relationships, and at the same time furnish competition and entertainment. When we had our organizational meeting in the fall, the sixteen card shufflers who attend- ed were equally divided among students and faculty members. Representing the faculty were the teams of Chace-Lisien, Skinkle- Masaschi, and Herman Brown-Lavrakas. The students sent three teams consisting of Finnie- Olney, Baerwald-Wiener, and Bhattacharya- Liu. To round out the group were two mixed teams represented by Kopycinski-Oxer, and Taylor-Garvey. Robert Olney To insure a fair method of determining the best team of the evening, the following system was devised. Each team played a cer- tain number of boards (hands) during the evening meeting all of the other teams. The hands were shuffled and dealt the first time they were played, and then remained fixed and were played by the other teams. Thus Lady Luck took a back seat, and the scoring depended mainly on the team ' s skill in bid- ding and playing the same hands the other teams have played. It was felt this year by all members of the club that they are greatly furthering faculty- student relationships at L.T.I, and they hoped this feeling would continue here. j Safioen, Mr. Pierent, Olney, Mr. Kopycinski, Mr. Lavrakas, Mr. Brown, Mr. Masaschi, Sgt.

Hodus Course IX, Leather Engineering, initiated in 1949, has progressed rapidly, here at Lowell Textile Institute. The opening of the Paper-Leather Building as the 1952-53 school year began was a milestone in leather ' s his- tory. And a second milestone occurred later on in the same year when the members of the course got together to form the Leather Engineering Society. Since the society ' s in- ception, it has carried out a well planned and diversified program in an admirable fashion. Donald Finegold Under the leadership of Don Finegold, who upon graduation has become the first recipient of a B.S. degree in Leather Engineering, and Advisor Dr. Albert C. Choumard, the society has included in its program lectures, guided tannery tours, and seminars by guest speak- ers who were closely connected with the leather or allied industries. The visit to the New Eng- land Dress Meat Company of Somerville, Massachusetts was one of the year ' s highspots for the society. Although the Leather Engineering Society is still in its infancy, plans have already been made for a bigger and better program for the future. 7s Row: Finegold, Dr. Chouinard, Hodus 2nd Row: Welch, Dooley, Doyle 4 4 s Poor hire repays the rustic ' s pain; More paltry still the sportsman ' s gain; Vainest of all, the student ' s theme Ends in some metaphysic dream; III Yet each is up, and each has toil ' d Since first the peep of dawn has smiled, And each is eagerer in his aim Than he who barters life for fame.

With a seemingly good start, Coach Dave Morey had hopes of a propitious season. With the return of Chris Chingros to the lineup, the Textilites were elated over the possibility of a successful year. Chris and Warren McHugh were slated for the first string forward positions, the other starters being Don Dooley at center, and Sandey Brandt, Arnie Brody, and Larry Horowitz switching guard positions. Joel Bogart, Bill Strzelewicz, Abe Essig, Gil Palm, Jim Lolos, Don Harrahy, and Lawrence Haley rounded out the squad. Although height was lacking, the start- ing lineup consisted of aggressive, experi- enced men who had played under Coach Morey for the past three seasons and who were willing to pitch in with all they had. 1st Row: Essig, Dooley, MacHugh, Brody, Brandt, Chingros 2nd Row: Coach Morey, Berger, Lolos, Bogart, Horowitz, Palm, Strzelewicz, Harrahy, Prof. Cushing highlights This year Coach Morey appointed three captains who alternated in leading the team: Sandey Brandt, a Brooklyn boy and co-cap- tion of last year ' s team; Arnie Brody, also hail- ing from Brooklyn; and Warren McHugh is a Chelmsford product. The first game on the schedule was against Clark University, and the boys beat a strong opponent 68-63, displaying good all-around team work. Chris Chingros starred, bucketing 35 points. A defeat by a strong Keene Teachers quin- tet, 82-57, was followed by a loss at the hands of the University of New Hampshire, 68-58. On their big court, the New Hampshire men outran us completely and were it not for a of the season quick 10 points netted in the fourth quarter by Jim Lolos, the defeat would have been even worse. Stonehill ' s victory, 65-45, lost some of its sheen when Warren McHugh held Paul Sincero to no field goals. Sincero broke the New England small college scoring record last year. A loss to Assumption, 68-63, follow- ed with McHugh again shining and scoring 17 points for the Moreymen. The contest with American International College was postponed because of a snow- storm; and Worcester Teachers narrowly won, 80-79, as Chris Chingros scored 26 and Don Dooley played his last game for Tex- tile. 75 no ball at all in the stratosphere Arnie Brody and Chris Chingros were both stabilizing influences. Although Arnie wasn ' t as fast as his teammates, he compensated for his lack of speed by playing smart ball. Warren McHugh supplemented the scoring punch of Chingros with great offensive and defensive play. Sande Brandt played deter- mined ball and Horowitz and Lolos filled in well. Don Dooley played a great game off of the backboards and was extremely valuable on offense and defense.

The first meeting of the team brought six- teen men out for the squad. Of the new mem- bers, the most outstanding golfers were Dave Rogers and Frank Kappler. The holdovers from the previous year were Frank Polak, Dick Hausman, Dick Kelley, and Warren Rushton. The team lost heartbreaking matches to Holy Cross, Darmouth, Andover, and Spring- field. Among the victories notched for Textile were the matches with Suffolk, Clark, A.I.C., Tufts, and W. P. I. This season, the best any Lowell Textile golf team has ever had — four victories and four defeats — had L.T.I, finishing ninth in a field of twenty-five in the New England Collegiate standings. 77 BASEBALL Capt. Bernie Therrien This year it was different. For once, the Lowell Textile baseball team was not plagued by bad luck or sore arms. With these great obstacles removed, Coach Yarnall ' s forces drove to their greatest season, compiling a record of eleven victories against only four losses. After losing a tight 3-2 decision to North- eastern in the opening contest, Textile swept their next three encounters, downing Wor- cester Teachers, Curry, and A.I.C. without much difficulty. The team then embarked upon a somewhat discouraging road trip to Vermont. They lost the first two games on the road, but then rolled up five straight triumphs. The highlight of this streak was the 14-0 no-hit victory over New England College. However the string of wins was halted by Worcester Tech who came from behind to win 8-5. Lowell then swept its last three encounters, including a four hit 2-1 victory over the University of New Hamp- shire, closing the most impressive baseball campaign in many years. 1st Row: Axon, Abbot, Rekant 2nd Row: Ginsburgh, Haley, Peterson, Powell, Therrien 3rd Row. Greenhall, McKniff, Carroll, Walker, Fagen, Lawrence, Coach Yarnall Unquestionably, the outstanding member of the squad was the freshman transfer stu- dent Bob Walker. He hurled a no-hitter against New England College, for the first such feat in Textile history. In addition he compiled a record of seven wins as compared to two losses. He allowed only 34 hits in 67 innings, and had 54 strike outs during the same period. When Walker was not on the mound he was playing left field. As a batter he paralleled his prowess as a hurler. Walker hit safely in 14 consecutive games, and led the team in batting with an average of .348. This combination of a hard hitting outfielder and an overpowering pitcher was perhaps the greatest all-around baseball player ever to grace the Textile ' scene. It is unfortunate that the world situation has forced him into serv- ice and that he is no longer available for inter- collegiate competition. the national pastime the hand is quicker than the camera interlocking directorates, field and classroom H .-â– , • ' •: ii-C â–  .

All finished the season with aver- ages over the .300 mark. Axon ' s clutch hitting was exceptional as was the run making ability of the team. Textile amassed a total of 154 runs for an average of better than 10 runs per game. If this potential is present next season the loss of Walker may not be too damaging. 80 -C.

The second match against Bran- deis was cancelled due to wet grounds. The final match of the short season for the Textile Racqueteers was against Keene Teachers College at Keene, New Hampshire.

Incepted three years ago at Lowell Textile Institute, the lacrosse team began this season under much the same handicaps that were present in the previous two years. Due to the rugged academic sched- ule and competing activities, the time and facilities available for practice amounted to only two nights a week in the Southwick Hall gym. Fall turnout, too, was discouraging button, button, whose got the button? and inclement weather harassed attempts to Scrimmage outdoors. But as winter hoarily surrounded the school, the oppressive clouds of inauspiciousness dispersed momentarily to admit the arrival of additional candidates for the team. When in April the team finally moved onto the playing field and rounded into shape, it consisted of nineteen men most of whom lacked sufficient experience to pro- duce a well coordinated unit. Unfortunately these nineteen men were too few to give the proper depth and balance that is direly needed in a sport so strenuous and racking. Headache? Try Alka-seltzer flying high As in every team, some athletes perform outstandingly in comparison to their team- mates. Attention this year was turned to the speed and aggressiveness of both Don Schaaf on attack and Wemyss Scott on de- fense. Captain Dick Montgomery played a capable and well organized game. Supplying stability and steadying influence while ren- dering himself valuable as a playmaker was dependable Bob Mulcahy. It appears that lacrosse is positioned to be- come a major activity at the Institute and will continue to grow in strength and importance as new candidates supply a sufficient force for an adequate squad. The season opener with Worcester Poly- technical Institute accentuated all of the weaknesses and it became apparent after a 13 to 1 defeat that until lacrosse ripened into a well established activity, the Textile Stick- men would be no match for such perennially strong teams as Worcester Tech. Of the five contests in which the team participated, the Tufts Freshmen were the only victims, bow- ing to LTI by a 7 to 3 tally. What species is this butterfly? L.T.I. OPPONENT 1 .

Coach Morey, Weiner, Kaplan, Levy, Schacher, Hince, Berkowitz, Brillas, Perott, Oxer As a result of the past three seasons, soccer firmly established itself as the major fall sport at Lowell Textile. The team compiled an excellent record of six victories in seven games, and, over the past two seasons, rec- orded a winning streak of seven contests and an undefeated string of ten games. Led by Co-Captains Edgar Baerwald of Chile and Jack Carroll of Medford, the Moreymen were both outstanding on offense and defense. They amassed a total of twenty- nine goals during the season while permit- ting only seven tallies against Goalie Milt Berkowitz. Leading the scoring was left in- side forward Ed Gostanian of Argentina, with twelve goals. Abbey Steinsapir of Chile, and Julio Guimaraes of Brazil, each tallied four times during season ' s play. The defense array helped goalie Berkowitz turn in three shutout games and three one-goal contests. Excelling in this capacity, along with Co- Captains Baerwald and Carroll, were Piet Bodenhorst of Ecuador and Jerry Ginsburgh of New York. The initial encounter of the campaign was played against Bradford Durfee, at Lowell. The Textile booters dominated play and got the season off to a fine start, downing their opponents by a score of 4-1. After easily dis- posing of Clark University 5-0, the. soccer team looked ahead to a rough game with a Worcester Tech. Squad. In the game played at Worcester, Textile exhibited its all around strength by drubbing W.P.I, by a wide margin, 7-1.

This soccer team has done more for the school than most students realize. With the loss of football, a link was broken from the chain that tied student interest to L.T.I, ath- letics. The impending situation was serious and discussion centered on the topic of the waning spectatorship of the student body. Three years ago, at the time of the calamity, the soccer team drew from the wealth of the Staunch defenseman Boots and his buddy student body and formed a predominantly Latin American team which with its fire, color, and sensational vividness welded a new link to strengthen and consolidate the bonds that capitulate student interest which is other- wise known as school spirit. In the best of tradition, they presented a consistently win- ning • team, one in which all students took heart and hope; one which fired the enthu- siasm of even the most languid student; and one which made LTI proud of its South American students and of the whole team. In view of the confidence that this team inspired, the successful season of 1952 was naturally expected. TOSrf=J£3£ VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club which, during the last three years, has been composed of only the lettermen from baseball, basketball, and foot- ball, has now made an amendment to its rules to cover the changing situation. The sports of soccer and lacrosse were recognized as major sports with all lettermen of these teams eligible for membership and active par- ticipation in club affairs. While keeping the alumni informed of the athletic situation, the Varsity Club sponsors outstanding sports events. It was under the promotion of the club that the Fraternity All Star-Faculty game took place. Sponsorship of a girls ' bas- ketball team, the Textilettes is another Varsity Club undertaking. In addition, the club con- tributed to the Textile Scene by sponsoring the All-Textile Smoker. 0 i v„ ' ijPf training table what did he swallow? 1st Row: Polak, McHugh, McKniff, Prof. Bell, Sanborn, Horowitz L, Woessner, Baxter 2nd Row: Peterson, Kappler, Nichols, Harris, Paris, Ginsburgh, Setty, Rushton 3rd Row: Schain, Solkoff, Berkowitz I.

This was fine until June MEMBERS: when the six coeds graduated and the fresh- Jean Cryan Elaine Kenney man girls had to put together another organi- Marcella Czekanski Betty Kinney zation with another name. Obviously this Carol Dunn Fran Libbey would be a confusing situation each year and Nancy Geary Pat Liston an organization that would have to change Tina Velantzas its name each year and possibly come up with 90 an unpronounceable name, could never achieve any fame or mean anything to its alumnae. And so it was that the girls decided to become a Greek letter society. Phi Sigma Rho, the name chosen, has since promoted a closer relationship among the girls enrolled at LTI. Many social functions have brightened the tedious school year, such as rushing parties for the frosh, Professor Rosatto ' s Christmas Party, the toboggan party, the annual dinner dance, and many small get-togethers. All these are part of the tradition of Phi Sigma Rho and are unforgettable events which be- come pleasant memories when college days are viewed in retrospect. The members of Phi Sigma Rho have made their presence felt in all major school organizations and functions and are respon- sible for the success of many an all-Textile function. The year 1952 saw another milestone added to Phi Sigma Rho ' s colorful history. The coeds formed a basketball team and com- peted against other orga nized girls ' teams in regular competition, and performed quite well. This, in spite of the fact that some of the girls were learning the game as they played. The Phi Sigma Rho Globetrotters included: Carol Dunn, Betty Kinney, Jean Cryan, Sue Hunt, Tina Velentzas, and Mar- cella Czekanski. With this basketball team a part of LTI ' s athletic history, there is no telling what these dynamic coeds will come up with next. At any rate, Phi Sigma Rho will keep its place among the most active of LTI ' s organiza- tions. Interfraternity Council John Devereaux Fraternities at L.T.I, certainly represent some of the most active organizations on the campus. Although each individual fraternity is completely separate and distinct, there are certain common interests and 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. List of Officers Chairman John L.

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 Interfraternity Council centers around the initiation of new members into the frater- nities. The four fraternities at L.T.I, follow certain standard procedures as far as stag parties, bids, and Hell Week are concerned. These functions are supervised by the Inter- fraternity Council, and such standardizations have been adopted for the benefit of all stu- dents, fraternity as well as non-fraternity members. 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 purposes. The supervision of Interfraternity athletics and the awarding of suitable honors to the victors have become an integrated part of the Infraternity Council ' s curriculum. At the end of each school year the fraternity on campus with the highest scholastic honors receives a trophy for this honor. If the honors are held for three consecutive years by the same chapter, it is then allowed to perma- nently retain the cup. 93 0 L ?T ri Delta Kappa Phi Big Mike List of Officers Consul Michael Dielendick Pro Consul Harry Berman Annotator William J.

The Dekes have taken a step which we think will be one for the better, that step being dropping out of our national organization. After a long meet- ing it was decided that this was a step in the right direction, since it would alleviate some obstacles to further progress. Also at this meeting was discussed the possibilities of joining a new group which will be an advancement for the fraternity and one for the school. The Dekes still maintain the idea of non-sectarianism and will always strive to keep in mind the ideas of Duty, Knowledge and Friendship, which are the meaning of the Greek letters in our name. The Dekes are sure that the Freshmen will recall to mind, quite easily, the colorful rush- ing parties held preceding Hell Week. Of course stag parties were only a part of our social function schedule, with date parties among the most memorable ever held at L.T.I. Our first date party was held in November, at our new location The Ranch House Club , and had as its theme the Har- vest Moon . The idea was to have everyone come dressed in old clothes designed to get everyone into the mood of an old-time frolic. This event was a sequel to the Roaring 20 ' s party which was such a success last year. Just before the Christmas Vacation, Decem- ber 13 to be exact, our big party of the year was held. The affair was labelled as a YAHMO party. To be very honest with everybody, the Dekes are still trying to find out what a YAHMO is. The party was open to all members of the school and faculty. The big event of the night was the awarding of the prizes. The prizes were as follows: First prize went to Mrs. Edgar Baerwald who was elected the girl I would most like to have as a nurse if I were sick. Second prize went to the best-dressed couple, and this was given to Jerry Oxer who came stag. Third prize went to Judy Bishoff who was elected our first YAHMO. 96 I use Colgate because . Fourth prize went to Nick Liacopoulous and his date as being the most gone couple of the evening. Nick left for active duty with the USAF, the next day. Fifth prize went to the inebriates of the evening, for they didn ' t have a drop to drink all night — Al Marcus and his date, Marcella Czekanski.

Highest on the list for this year is our ac- quiring of a permanent fraternity house which will house all our activities. Due to decreased enrollment at the Institute and thus the movement of students into the dormitories from the fraternity houses, D.K. was forced to give up its wonderful location at 22 Burgess Street. This in no way hampered our- activities. At the time this story was written, the officers of D.K. were looking over some definite prospects for our new location, and we are sure that by the time Hell Week rolls around our mail will be deliv- ered to a new fraternity house. In closing, we, the Brothers of D.K., would like to express their best regards to our friends at school and especially send along our final good-byes to those members who are leaving us and hope that they all meet with health, happiness and success in all their future undertakings. To those who will enter the Armed Forces — God speed! We hope to see you all at our Alumni party next year. Omicron Pi little Bob List of Officers Archon Robert V.

Ordinarily, O Pi would have done the same as the other fraternities have done for the 1953 PICKOUT (which covered the 1952-53 school year) ; however, the 1952-53 school year was not an ordinary year as far as we of O Pi were con- cerned. For that year was the 50th anniversary of our fraternity. And for that reason, we of Pi decided that we would like to have our story told in a slightly out-of-the-ordinary way. In what better way could our story be told than by none other than Omicron Pi Fraternity, itself. My name is Omicron Pi Fraternity. Every year about this time, someone announces that 1 was born on November 3, 1902. Now, many people object to having their birthdays pub- licized. But not me! I ' ve seen two wars, three depressions, and a change in administration. 100 tl A lot has happened in my time, so I think I deserved very much the shindig I threw for my Golden Anniversary. President Lydon, the faculty, some of my old charges (even several who had been at my christening) . . . yes, practically every- body came to help me celebrate, and to have a good time. They all commented on how well I looked. Of course, I did! I ' ve lived carefully and wisely, and at fifty years of age, I ' m stronger than ever. Take this past year for instance. My little Omicrons and I have been quite busy, and also quite happy. We ' ve retired the Scholastic Cup, kept the bowling trophy, and won the Basketball crown. Why, we even won our first softball game. This all goes to prove that clean living and hard work pays off. Speaking of clean living and hard work, two youngsters in particular deserve special attention. One of them is Archon Bob Reb Robey, who has pulled me through many a tight spot this year, in spite of that infernal racket he makes with that gavel of his. The other is Professor Jake Frederick, who, though just a young fellow himself, has kept me from frisking around like a kid fraternity. In fact, just about everything went well for me during my fiftieth year. I got a great bunch of new men to take care of for a while, though they didn ' t seem to appreciate the conditioning they were allowed to go through first, so that they would feel more at home (why do they insist on calling it Hell Week ?). And I got pinned to a whole crew of new girls (I ' m not as old as my age would have me). There is just one thing to which I can object. ... I don ' t think Lit is a good nickname for a social chairman. Well I must leave now, but it has been fun talking to you. Maybe we can even get to- gether again to celebrate my 100th Anniver- sary. We of O Pi sincerely hope the entire stu- dent body and faculty of L.T.I, has enjoyed our presentation of our fraternity in the 1953 PICKOUT, and we look forward to the times when we may help celebrate the other fraternities ' 50th Anniversary. the high command kj „L count your lucky stars 101 Phi Psi 4 4 4 Boss George President George C.

In 1905, Phi Psi Fraternity was in- corporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Beta Chapter was organized in 1904 at the New Bedford Textile School, New Bedford, Massachusetts. Later that same year the Gamma Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity was chartered at the Lowell Tex- tile School. Since the chartering of the Gamma, Chapter, six other chapters have been added to the list of active chapters. There are at present twelve alumni chapters in addition to the nine active chapters. Phi Psi is now the largest and most respected textile fraternity in the world, and its alumni hold some of the highest positions of trust and respect in all branches of the textile in- dustry. Gama Chapter moved into its present loca- tion at 406 Pawtucket Street in 1946. With the help of several loyal alumni, a plan was set up for purchasing the house. A number of physical improvements have been realized during the past six and a half years. A new electric refrigerator, an electric oil heater, and linoleum for the entire top floor are just a few of the improvements that have been added to our house since we first occupied it in 1946. The fraternity is dedicated to the following ideals: first, to promote good fellowship among the men of textile schools and colleges with textile departments; second, to encour- age a high standard in textile work; and third, to assist, by every honorable means, the advancement of its members. We are a professional fraternity, textile throughout. This means that all of us start with common business interests. The fraternity is governed by the Grand Council, which is composed of officers chosen from the alumni and re- presentatives of the various active and alumni chapters. We consider the fraternity responsible for a positive contribution to the primary func- tions of the Institute, and therefore under an 104 obligation to encourage the most complete personal development of its members, intel- lectual, physical and social. The objectives and activities of the fraternity are in entire accord with the aims and purposes of the Institute. As usual, our social calendar this year was filled to capacity. One of the most memorable occasions was the Old Timers ' party held on January 10. Many of the boys and their dates came in costumes that would have made Grandpa and Grandma remember when. The Seabreeze party this year started out as a gentle breeze but soon developed into a roaring gale which produced an evening filled with good fun and enjoyment. Our annual Monte Carlo Party was held in No- vember, and a number of rushing parties were held during the first semester to ac- quaint the new students with the activities and members of the fraternity. Several of our alumni attended these rushing parties, show- ing their interest in the activities of the chap- ter and also helping us to impress upon the new members the meaning of fraternity spirit. Perhaps the greatest display of true Phi Psi spirit was witnessed at our Orphans ' Christmas Party, which was held on Decem- ber 18. Thirty children from a local orphanage were entertained for three hours by a magi- cian, movies, and finally by Santa Claus, who had several presents for all of them. The members at the house gave up their night meal for the children and the girls who help- ed us out did a fine job of serving it. All who attended agreed that this was indeed the best party of the year. Not all of Phi Psi ' s success was social. Dur- ing the past year, Phi Psi men held the major offices and key positions on most student organizations, such as Student Council, Tex- tile Players, Varsity Club and others. Phi Psi men were some of the outstanding players on the athletic teams of L.T.I., leaders of student publications, and members of every student organization. Since our membership accounts for only a small percentage of the total school enrollment, we account for these achievements by the fact that Phi Psi men have always been genuinely interested in promoting school and interfraternity activi- ties. The spring formal will be held this year in the latter part of April and present plans indicate that it will be better than ever. We who leave L.T.I, this June will look back upon this year as one of the most successful ones we have enjoyed here. free loaders Pi Lambda Phi ..... -j£ y?

Ectman, Berger I don ' t get it it only hurts when I laugh The Massachusetts Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was born on June 23, 1920 as Eta Chapter of Sigma Omega Psi. By 1937, after a period of ups and downs, S.O.P. had grown from its original five men to a position which enabled it to buy and main- tain a house. Three years later, S.O.P. was merged with a larger national fraternity; however, L.T.I, had not yet been recognized as a Grade A school and therefore Eta Chap- ter could not be absorbed with the other chapters. It was then that Alpha Epsilon was founded as a pledge chapter of the fraternity formed by the merger. With the increased enrollment after the war, A.E. ' s ranks swelled once more and the present house was purchased in 1946. In 1949, the chapter, now an independent local, was installed as Massachusetts Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi when Lowell Textile became accredited, and soon became one of the outstanding chapters in the na- tional organization. This last year, a class of twenty-three men were pledged. Pledging, hell-week, induction, and finally the annual formal, with girls mi- grating from near and far, were memorable events. Many alumni attended and helped to make it one great week-end from the first to the last cocktail party. After the gaiety had subsided, the bodies were neatly swept from under the table and the house was re- stored to normalcy for the senior stag, the last social event on the calendar and a chance to bid farewell to those brothers who were about to try their fortunes in the business world. The men were presented with gifts for their years of participation in the frater- nity activities. Last year saw Pilam lose the flags in both basketball and Softball, which had been in the fraternity for four and two years respec- tively. With the aid of new members, hope is high for recapturing both of the champion- 108 ships. A spirited challenge was also carried on in the bowling league. Summer recess — and as the sun peeped above the bluff overlooking the turbulent Merrimack, at seven o ' clock of the A.M., a number of the Jolly Laddies could be heard, along with the other cadets, counting cadence and presenting arms; while other Pilams took to working in textile establish- ments, sunbathing on luxurious beaches, gal- avanting around the United States, and serv- ing in the armed forces. With the decrease in enrollment, it was necessary for all fraternity men to move into the dormitories. The fraternity took over the third floor and parts of the second and fourth of Smith Hall. The shift had no effect on the spirit of the fraters as the Curio Shop and the Greenwich Village parties were rousing successes. The fraternity car, among other props, provided a rise which really rang the bell. Pilam also inaugurated a Christmas Party for orphans,, entertaining twenty-four children in the Eames Hall Lounge. The party was in lieu of the open house Christmas Party held in previous years. Fortunately, an appropriate Santa Claus was not hard to find and with his help and a bag of toys, a warm smile was present on the face of all present including the fraters. Indeedj it was hard to tell who was having a better time once the tanks and trucks and drums began to crash around the Lounge. This year again found Pilams in important positions in the school including leaders of the TEXT and PICKOUT, class officers, members of the athletic teams, and other student organizations. More interesting functions are on the doc- ket for the rest of the term as Pilam looks forward to another successful year, high- lighted by pledging, the formal, and the brewing of everlasting fraternal friendships. the P.A.C. of P.L.P.

Sir Walter Scott -i $$$k {• H 4 no The Knighting Freshman Class • Sophomore Class • Junior Class John White Freshmen Harold Cotton Carol Ann Dunn r ,j ' - : . September 10, 1952 was a memorable and confusing day for most of us. It was the start of our college career which would later deter- mine whether our future would be useful or useless. Students came from all over the world to grace the halls of Lowell Textile Institute. Most of the Freshman class was under the impression that L.T.I, being small, would also be quite easy. Those who did, were in for a sad awakening. After a week of signing papers, taking physicals, being fitted for uni- forms, and buying books, we settled down to the daily routine of college life. We found however, that without conscientious work, and long hours of preparation, our college career would be a failure. The thing that the freshman class had a hard time getting accustomed to was the ROTC unit. Not many of us had been ex- posed to military life, and therefore when we got out on the drill field we were pretty confused. Within a week or so, our timidity had worn off, and some of us were actually giving drill commands. As a whole, the fresh- man class has stood out in all phases of Air Science. The Military Ball, which featured Bob Batchelder, was our first big event on the social calendar. The freshman class was well represented, and many enjoyed the open house that the fraternities held after the dance. After returning from an enjoyable sixteen day Christmas vacation, we started studying for our final exams. Many of us took this studying as a serious task, but there were the usual few that didn ' t, as was apparent, when the final marks came out. police line-up the frosh make merry 113 Did he go over this in class? February 3, 1953, was a big day for many of the men in the freshman class. During the first semester, the four fraternities here at Lowell had been holding Rushing Functions in order to get to know the new students, and for the students to get to know them. Now the bids were out, and we were to make our big choice, which would decide our fraternal affiliations for the rest of our life. The All-Textile Formal, which featured Shep Fields and his Rippling Rhythm, was the next social event. It was, as usual, a highly successful affair, and was well attended. The election of our class officers was an- other important event of the first semester. Over eighty-four percent of the class turned out at the polls, which showed the interest of the freshmen in school activities and school politics. Twenty-two names appeared on the ballots this year for the five offices, this is more than has appeared in previous freshman elections.

Marcel Dur- sin was elected as class representative to the Student Council. By this time, the freshman class has become a part of Lowell Textile Institute, and it in turn has become a part of the freshman class. This first year has brought self-confidence, industriousness, enthusiasm, and determina- tion to all of us, and if we haven ' t learned anything else, we have certainly learned that no permanent success can be won without hard work and integrity.

While struggling through the red tape of Registration, and wading through an army of deans, bursars, and grin- ning unsympathetic Heads of Departments, we discovered that something new had been added: a compulsory ten dollar gift to the class fund. Among the many new changes noted as we began our studies were the newly com- pleted Paper and Leather Building, a new location for the office of a bigger and better and brassier R.O.T.C. staff, a stripped Fresh- man Chemistry lab waiting for new equip- ment and work benches (it ' s still waiting), and the old Physics laboratory converted into the home of L.T.I. ' s own broadcasting station. Probably the biggest and most controversial change was the return of a five day week, and still here, Murray? straight or mixed? the introduction of a nine hour day. Some textile courses were dropped (and was met with some disfavor) in order to make room for more R.O.T.C. courses. President Lydon asked our opinion on changing the name of the school, and while reaction was mixed, those who voted were in favor of Lowell Technological Institute. Work on the new Administration-Auditorium building pro- gressed, and it appeared that we might even be able to graduate in it, and not as five year men either. One of the first social events of the year was the Acquaintance Dance, which we co- sponsored with Lowell State Teachers ' Col- lege. As the majority of the Sophomore class belonged to the R.O.T.C, we played a large part in making the Military Ball the tremen- dous success that it was. The appearance of the Drill team, which was largely composed of members of our class, was one of the 117 1st Row: Bass, McNamara, Kenney, Prof. Mandell, Bodenhorst, Strzelewicz, O ' Heir, Ponty 2nd Row: Krouss, Barrett R., Kleeman, Cooperman, Torchia, Moissonnier, Fagdn, Sheldon 3rd Row: Katsoros, Guimaraes, Frank, Houston, Lutz, Scaringi, Sarmiento, Hardy 4th Row: Leavitt, Ganz, Madden, Green, Legow, Cohen, Missry, Perkins highlights of the Ball. In addition, fraternity and sorority parties occupied many of the fol- lowing weekends to make a very gay socially successful winter season. The less said about the exams, the better. We emerged fairly intact, but there were many anxious moments before -we were fi- nally reassured. Hell Week came on, and all our frustra- tions, high spirits, and plain old energy were focused on indoctrinating the unfortunate pledges to true fraternity comradery, to in- still real college spirit, and to take ' it ' all with a smile. The All-Tex formal, spring vacation, the Textile Players ' presentation of that humor- ous play, My Sister Eileen , and the frater- nity formals came and went as the year wore on, but were not forgotten. after the test 118 The Class of 1955 looks backs to a most successful and pleasant year. Led by our very capable officers: Piet Bodenhorst, Presi- dent; William Strzelewicz, Vice-President; Elaine Kenney, Secretary; Albert O ' Heir, Treasurer; and John McNamara, Student Council Representative; we took part in all student organizations and athletics.

True, all of us hadn ' t made the Dean ' s List, but then again, we all hadn ' t made that other kind of list either. Some of us refused to leave this place, even for the summer vacation; and the sound of the faithful, marching to the tune of Sargent Hawkins ' s dulcet tones, could be heard here every morning before anyone was awake. Came September, and money, that we had worked all summer long to earn was spent easily in one day. Laboratory expenditures, breakage fees, A.F.R.O.T.C. reparations — these and many more bills piled up on us in the Gym, and threatened our solvency. Pay- ing got so habit forming that faithful day, that many of us even made a $5 class deposit before we knew what we were ' doing. Well, at least the class had money! Shortly after registration, and in spite of the gallant efforts of our teetotaling class officers; President, Stephen Adler; Vice Presi- dent, Larry Horowitz; Treasurer, Bill Gab- riel; Secretary, David Austin; Student Coun- cil Representative, Othello Scarponi; and Faculty Advisor, Dave Morey, along came the harrowing days of the 18th Amendment. Rival rum-running groups sprang up, and the contraband, hidden under boxes of I Like Adlai buttons, was smuggled through- out the school. Had it not been for the keen sleuthing of Dean Mo Williams, violence would have flared. Finally, the election results poured in, and Prohibition was repealed (well, at least it was modified). Before we even had time to say hello to all of our old friends (most of them were still in our Organic Chemistry class), the eight week exams were upon us. With them, came scores of Freshmen (were we that small when we were Freshmen; or that bright?), who deluged us with questions on how to pass the tests. Of course, that was like digging for water in the Sahara, but we didn ' t mind. We let most of the lucky ones sit at our feet awhile, and partake of our wisdom. ( You ' ll get a lot more out of it the second time though! etc.) Then, feeling pure in mind and body, we made up our crib-sheets, and took the exams. Social high-spot for the first semester was the Military Ball. Under the leadership of 121 1st Row: Collins, Austin, Horowitz L, Mr. Morey, Adler, Gabriel, Scarponi, Laurion 2nd Row: Smith C, Kupferschmid, Kao, Brown W., Ginsburgh, Appelbaum, Berlyn, Nichols 3rd Row: Genereux, Good, DuCharme, Hamilton, Rushton, Kimmell, Bonacci, Solkoff « 0$$F m I our own Cadet Colonel, Robert Waugh, the week-end went very smoothly; almost every- one had such a good time, that we hardly felt pain at our growing standard deviation from financial solidity. Then, finally, came the Christmas Vaca- tion. Now we could catch up on our work and our sleep. Fourteen days in which to study all that our Professors require . . . seven days to really do some of our homework, . . . two days to review our work. Oh well, we can always study when we get back to school. The less said about the semester final exams, the better, but isn ' t it strange how fast the teachers lose that gay old Christmas spirit ? The second semester brought out a new candidate for the Famous Last Words. . . series; This new one was entitled, They can ' t flunk us out now! Theoretically, I ' m right, but . What ' s this? It ' s only March, and every- body is walking around bleary-eyed from 122 sleepless nights of studying; but what strange fabric is being woven — upper-classmen actu- ally bleary-eyed from helping others to study ? Ah yes! Character Building Week was upon us (formerly called Hell Week ). The Dean must be pleased. The always enjoyable All-Textile Formal, the Fraternity Dances (ye gods, is everybody getting pinned?), Upstream Day (drinking - is good for low blood pressure) ... all of these events added together to make this year a most enjoyable one, and gave promise, that the next year would be even bigger and bet- ter.

As Editor-in-Chief, I have seen the yearbook develop from a sudden impulse, to a genuine theme, to many weeks of labor, and finally to the yearbook you see before you. I am also fully aware of the interest shown by all concerned in its each phase. Few people will ever know the extent these persons to whom I refer have dedicated themselves, and mere words cannot suffice to explain their attitude toward the 1953 PICKOUT. It is hard to say, Thank you in the way in which it is intended, and still not be corny ; therefore, to the following all that I should like to say, and sincerely mean it, is, Thank you. First and foremost, I should like to thank my entire staff for all that it has done. My only wish is that we could have done it all. over again. Professor Russell M. Fox, the silent partner of our yearbook. He was always there when we needed him, but let us have free rein when we thought we could do it ourselves. Professor Louis W. Stearns, the guardian of our grammatical mistakes, and whose encouragement was a shot in the arm. Mr. Robert Greener, our printer ' s representative, whose advice was as friendly as his handshake and smile. Mr. A. H. Dick, of Louisville Textiles, an alumnus of L.T.I., who designed and supplied the cover fabric. Professor Vittoria Rosatto, who gave us many artistic hints, and helped choose the cover fabric. Mr. John F. Kenney, who wrote so beautifully the In Memoriam for our beloved Bernie Larkin. Miss Elizabeth P. Kennedy, the sweetest typist in the world, who accepted every assignment no matter how late. Mrs. Doris Beatty and Mr. Robert Talbot, Jr., both of Loring Studio, who assisted greatly in taking care of the senior formal pictures and group formal pictures. Mr. Wallace Butterfield, who paid all our bills with dispatch. The Administration, which put up with much inconvenience caused by us. The student body, especially the Senior Class, which was very considerate when having pictures taken. And last but not least, all of the unsung heroes that let me cry on their shoulders. fll4ntfs C - ic a Editor-in-Chief 159 Index AATCC 60 Acknowledgments 159 Administration 14 Baseball 78 Basketball 74 Chinese Students Circle .- 69 Class of 1956 . . .

Every color that danced in that miracle tube has been captured by dye scientists for everthing that people wear or people use. But these need not be kaleidoscopic colors that change— or unstable colors that fade; they can be colors that last for the entire lifetime of the material.
