TATLER 1931 Massena High School The Massena High School is a large building, well equipped with all modern con- veniences, and contains a Senior and fine new Junior High School, With a total of 50 teachers. We boast of seven complete courses of study,-College Preparatory, Technical School Preparatory, Normal School Preparatory, Commercial, Agri- cultural, and courses in Household Economy and Industrial Arts. There is a library, of 6,000 volumes, with conference rooms, and tables for reference work all under the supervision of a trained Librarian. The shop is com- pletely equipped, for courses in Household Mechanics, Automobile Mechanics, Metal and Electrical Work, and Mechanical Drawing, all giving regents credit. The splendid new Household Economics department includes a cooking room equipped with electric refrigerators, two electric ranges, and five group desks, with sinks and electric plates, a sewing room with Work tables, sewing machines, fitting- corner With triple mirror, and a display case, a model apartment of kitchen, dining room, bedroom, living room, and bath. The courses in cooking, household manage- ment, household decoration, sewing-both rudiment and advanced dress making. -and millinery all give regents credits. A school with competent supervision and instruction, strong athletics, and a spirit of cooperation is a good school to be a part of. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION F. C. Mason, President E. B. Crosby G. H.

Fortune We learn with deep regret that the Class of 1931 is the last to graduate under the administration of Supt. A. W. Fortune. Mr. Fortune is a graduate of St. Lawrence University and has devoted his life to the public schools of this state. After completing an enviable record as superin- tendent of schools in the city of Salamanca Mr. Fortune came to Massena in 1926, in charge of our school system during five difficult years, exhibiting exceptional administrative ability. During this period the school population, buildings and facilities have very materially increased. He now resigns to enter other fields of service. Mr. Fortune has entered into the civic and social life of the community and has made many friends among our citizens, but it is with the student body he is best known. Always commanding their respect, he has enjoyed their loyalty and esteem. Sympathetic and inspiring, the members of this class have received valuable advise, guidance and assistance from Mr. Fortune, and as this book will be deposited in the archives of our school as a permanent record, we desire to here record in this public fashion our esteem and appreciation of our retiring superintendent. The best wishes of this Class follow Mr. and Mrs. Fortune through the years to come, and may their portion be full of lifeis choicest gifts. '28, '29, '30g Operetta '78 TATLER 1931 F arewell, Alma Mater! Winter snows and long hours of midnight study are followed by the joy of spring flowers and the exhilaration of graduation. As the fifty-four members of the class of 1931 of Massena High School pass out from its portals we pause, and as we take a retrospective view we are stirred with emotions of regret and happiness. Regret because we realize that we have come to one of the important milestones in each of our lives where we are about to sever the bonds of companionship which are formed in no other period of life as they are in our boyhood and girlhood school days. Happy because we have been able to measure up to the high standards of our ALMA MATEB and receive from it our credentials of merit. To the members of the faculty who have with patience and wisdom charted and directed our scholastic course We express our deepest appreciation and it is our sincere Wish that the future may hold in store for them an abundance of life's choicest gifts. In this we include not only the high school faculty but our instructors in the grades who helped us to lay the early foundations on which We have since been building. To our parents who have labored and sacrificed to make our graduation possible we join unitedly in this public expression of our appreciation and affection. To that large group of men and women, the tax payers of Massena, who have with such deep civic pride provided us with this beautiful building and splendid equipment and facilities we acknowledge our indebtedness and pledge to them our determination to measure four square to the standards to which they would have us attain. To our ALMA MATER We pledge loyalty and to uphold the ideals and tra- ditions With which it has inspired us during the years ending with this graduation. For some of us this is the end of scholastic labors. Others will endeavor to climb higher the academis ladderg some will engage in business or industryg others will enter the professions or the fields of science, but Whatever may be our lot, Wherever unseen paths may lead us or the hand of destiny beckon, we shall all look back to our ALMA MATER and to Massena with pride and happiness and We pledge to them our loyalty and devotion. This is the creed of 1931. SEWABD EMORY HANMER, '31 Pres ident TATLER 1931 enior Class History We are vastly important now. With the strength of three years behind us the fresh- men regard us with awe and nudge each other as we pass them in the various halls. We spend part of our time letting people know that we are Seniors and the other half trying to set a standard for the Juniors,-though, for that matter each of us is more or less busy trying to decide how and where to spend the next four or five years of our lives. The first three years of' our high school life were none too crowded with activities but we have duly made up for this during our Senior year. We first became organized as a class in our Junior year under Miss Healy. Our class president was Seward Hanmerg vice-president, Florence Matticeg secretary-treasurer, lsadore Greenblatt. We received our first chance to show our worth when we decorated the auditorium and gym for the Commencement exercises and dance which followed. Even the Seniors complimented us on this work. .lust to prove that we were really sorry to see them go, we also gave the Seniors a picnic. We wonder if we will be treated as well this year. Our activities during our Senior year have been so numerous that it is impossible to mention more than the major ones. Our election of class officers took place im- mediately at the opening of' school in the Fall. Seward Hanmer was re-elected class presidentg Florence Mattice, vice-presidentg Isadore Greenblatt, secretary-treasurer. The big event of the year, the Senior Ball was held during the Christmas holidays. This proved to be an overwhelming success and we love to boast that it was the best one ever held. Probably our biggest achievement is the building of the 1931 Tatler. We hope that its readers will pronounce it the best ever, also. As the time to depart draws near, even those who have kicked most vigorously against the educational traces feel some regret. It is hard to think that we have crammed for our last examinations. From now on we will be forced to stand on our own feet, and the question of jobs will be uppermost in the minds of' some of the members of our class. However, Mr. Haake's office has been doing a splendid business and what it doesnit know about seniors, in marks especially, isnit worth mentioning. Without exception we dread our regents, especially since those of January were no pleasure, being exceptionally hard. What with uncles coming from Plumbrook, cousins from Winthrop, and aunts from the four corners of the earth, it is with no little tremor of fear that we think of Commencement. In spite of this, we know that the moment when the diploma is actually placed in our hands will be a great one. Father will wrench it from us the minute we enter the house in order that it may be framed to hang in the most conspicuous place in the home and pointed to with pride to those who may be entertained there. TATLER1931 Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1931 of Massena High School, being at this instant sound of body and mind, do hereby bequeath- To the Freshmen and Sophomores, our distinguished scholastic example. To the Juniors: Balch and Bidwell regretfully leave their editorships to Hawes and Sutton. Bernard Bandy leaves his car to Lorena Shaver. Stan Cappiello deposits his Jean with Joe Diogastino. Evelyn Casselman gives Hannah McDowell her bold air. Walda Clarkson leaves her way with that man to Helen Dzieweiz. Wallace Danforth wills his questionings to Dick Countryman. Seward Hanmer gives his task as president to Mary Chase. Fred Hall leaves his mathematical ability to Marion Cosenza. Marie Hallahan leaves her one man attitude to Helen Fitzgerald. Isadore Greenblatt lets Floyd Grifiin have his dramatic ability. Franklin Giles donates his straight black hair to Bud Toohey. Dorothy Gardner leaves her chattering ability to Rose F enstermaker. Ora Henderson donates her education to Ivan Wright. .lim Martin and Etta Dow leave their weight to Paul Quenelle a Kingsley. Florence Mattice lets Celia Bemis have her popularity. Leonard Hover lets Lyle Barnes make his history orations. Elinor Hyde leaves her curls to Frances Stone. Ruth Kirkey donates her E English work to Rita Phillips. Marie Lahey leaves her drag to get good marks with Millard Crary. 5'Sam Lamendola relinquishes his decorating ability to Alu Hawes. Alice Levine lets Ellen Raymond have her permanent wave. Havens Putnam leaves his profile to Dominick Mittiga. Auleen Murphy and Kathleen Smith teach Gertrude McDonough a Smith to dance. Eleanor Mullarney leaves her conscientiousness to Mamie Shulkin.

CConiinued on page 255 - 23 nd Phyllis nd Harold TATLER 1931 Class Prophecy One evening late in the fall of 1960 I drew from its hidden place on the mantle my cherished Tatler. Sadly thumbing the pages again I gazed at the faces of my old school pals and my mind wandered back to M. H. S. in 1931. Oh! how the times have changed, I mused. Just think Margaret McCann has secured a divorce from Harold Bidwell, decreed by Judge Hanmer, and is now Working in Franklin Giles' department store in Syracuse while her former husband has been appointed President of Mechanics Institute at Rochester. Dorothy Gardner and Thelma Smith are hostesses at the new Paul Smith's Hotel. Fred Balch is chief engineer of the St. Lawrence River project. I see that Bernard Bandy is running a cafe in Louisville while Stanley Cappiello has successfully learned the ice business. Etta Dow is acting as It girl in Skeet's Yanities. Evelyn Casselman is a model at Sybil Mulvana's Ultra Modern Shoppe in Boston. Wallace Danforth has become a speaker in the House of Representatives. Walda Crapser, formerly Walda Clarkson, is broadcasting talks on The value of children in the homef, Frieda Halpern is featured at Roxy's theatre since her return from Vienna. Mrs. Quenelle, formerly Marie Hallahan, is raising chickens in Helena. Isadore Greenblatt has finally obtained a set on the Regent's Board. Ora Henderson is Queen of Leonard Hover's 20 ring circus. Elinor Hyde is now a screen artist, specializing in aristocratic parts. Ruth Kirkey tends the bar in Havens Putnam's saloon on Center street. I can hardly imagine that Marie Lahey has finally married Guy Hutchins and Sam Lamendola has risen to First Lieutenant in U. S. Army.

Although at the beginning of the year the Juniors claimed a roll of seventy-six, there are at present only seventy-one in the room and part of these are expecting to graduate dns June. This year We have as Junior president., Alfred Hawes, while Sophie Pmatowski was chosen vice-president, Helen Allen, secretary and treasurer and Miss Healy vvas selected to be our faculty adidsor. Our activities Cas a whole classj have been few, however, we staged one sleighride which was largely supported by the Seniors, Sophomores and Freshmen while a few Juniors attended. Our home room put on a play, in assembly, which, of course was a Junior masterpiece. Though as a class we have not had many activities, we are well represented in Public Speaking, Prize Speaking and the Athletic Associa- tion. In the latter we are represented by Mike Mittiga and Sophie Ratowski as class representatives and Helen Allen as secretary. We can claim only one representative on the Historical Annual, Helen Allen, art editor. But, our class is well able to hold its own on the field of athletics, the Junior class basketball team was victorious in the girls' interclass tourney, and we claim some of the stars on the Varsity basketball and football teams. The class is planning a Junior Prom as is the custom, but outside of that we have planned nothing definite in the line of social activities. But, we-The Junior Class of 1931, one and all, hope to make up the Greater Senior Class of 1932.

TATLER 1931 The Band The Hrst attempt to organize a band in the Massena High School was started this year through the efforts of the principal, Elton J. Hakes. The real work of organizing the band was started after the midterm regents, the last of January. The students showed great enthusiasm in the project and soon a band of 51 pieces was rehearsing in the old Domestic Science room. The instructor, Fred Livingston, who had played with Sousa's band, gave lessons during the members' free periods. On March 31, at the completion of the first eight lessons the band gave a demonstration concert in the high school auditorium.

The election for the council was held in a special nominating assembly during a regular assembly period in the auditorium. The actual voting was done in the home rooms. The council holds its meetings on the first and third Mondays of every month during the school year. They control all athletic funds, care for athletic equipment, and have the iinal recommendation in the appointment of Managers of all Yarsity and Intramural sports. During the year a new constitution was drawn up which insured the life of the organization for the year to come. Perhaps the most important Work of the association was the awarding of standard letters in all major sports. THE COFNCIL Stanley Cappiello ......... President Florence Mattice . . .

When Coach Jerry', Donnelly issued the first call for the football candidates, the outlook for the season was not so promising as five stars of the 1929 season had graduated. However, eighty students responded to the call and reported for practice on the first day of school, September 2. Due to the large number of candidates Coach Donnelly divided the squad into two divisions: the A and B squads. The A squad consisted of the more experienced players and the less experienced men were placed on the B squad. By the twentieth of September the Bed and Blue were ready for the first game. St. Mary's Academy of Ogdensburg gave us a hard fight but were defeated by a 20-0 score. A different team took the field the following Saturday against Mount Assumption Institute of Plattsburg. lt was a smooth-running hard-fighting Massena eleven which soundly trounced Plattsburg by the largest score of the season, 43-0. During lhe next week the age limit claimed Leonard Cobb, who had been quar- terback for two seasons. This was a great blow to the team. Nevertheless they went to play Saranac Lake that week more determined to win than ever. For the last few seasons Saranac had been champions of the Adirondack League and this was a championship battle for Massena. They gave us the hardest encounter of the season but finally they were defeated by a 14-0 score. The following week we did not play because Carthage cancelled the game. On October 11 we journeyed to Watertown to meet the highly praised Watertown High School aggregation. The game was fought in the snow and mud during a raging blizzard. Even though many of the Massena players froze their hands and feet during the game Watertown was scored on two times and the game ended 14-0. At the game we were somewhat weakened by the loss of John Jukoski, star half- back, who seriously injured his hand in practice. Sackettfs Harbor was our next opponent and they gave us a rather stiff battle but were turned back by a 19-0 score. Many substitutions were made in this game as Coach Donnelly was saving our best players for our last game. , TATLER 1931 Football Winning the Vocational game made us champions of Northern New York. lt was a game between two undefeated and unscored upon teams and drew a very large crowd from all over the north country. The first five minutes it looked bad for us but once we got started we had things nearly our own way, the game ending 31-0. The game was the last game of Captain g'Stan', Cappiello and Jim Martin for Massena High School. Much of the success of the season can be attributed to Coach Donnelly who was ably assisted by Fran Walsh, Skeets Carroll, and Pep', Agresta. With the work of these men who had the cooperation of the fellows and the students, Massena came through with Flying Colorsf, The season was brought to a close by banquets given by Mr. and Mrs. Bert Qur- nell, Mr, and Mrs. J. L. Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Martin, and the Menls Club. The team was also taken to the Syracuse Colgate game through funds donated by the business men. The banquets closed one of the greatest seasons ever played by a Massena eleven, , E- VARSITY LETTERMEN Stanley Cappiello, Captain Joseph Sestan, Captain-elect John J ukoski Frank Books Dominick Mittiga John Medve James Martin Roy Hess Kenneth Qurnell Vallance Higley Garlield Vincent Joseph Diagostino Leon Mcflibbon Howard Dishaw Reginald Jarvis Charles Merican James Phillips Fracis Alguire Gerald Donnelly, Coach THE SCHEDULE Massena Opponents 20 St. Mary's-home 0 43 Mount Assumption-home 0 14 Saranac-away 0 1 Carthage-forfeit 0 14 Watertown-away 0 19 Sackettis Harbor-home 0 31 Vocational-home 0 1 m T William Hawes, Manager ? 47 TATLER 1931 Basketball At the beginning of the basketball season fifty students responded to Coach 'fFran,' Walsh's call for candidates. After a week of instruction in the fundamentals of bas- ketball the squad was cut to twenty men, Mr. Donnelly taking the rest to the old gymnasium for practice. The only letter man of the 1929 season to return was Captain John J ukoski and there were no experienced men to fill out the team. The inexperienced men were rounded into shape by Coach Walsh and the team showed its best basketball against its strongest opponents. The opener of the season with Brushton on the home court was easily won 16-7. In this game the Coach called for many substitutions in an attempt to find a smooth- working team. The second game with the St. Lawrence Aggies was lost in an over- time period 22-18. Just before the Christmas vacation St. Mary's Academy of Og- densburg invaded Massena to be turned back by a score of 19-12. The worst defeat of the season was met on the long trip to Plattsburg when the Mount Assumption five won 35-13. The next week Plattsburg played a return game. Massena showed considerable improvement but lost out in the final minute of play, 17-21. The ninth game was played at Carthage. Here again the team did not get going and was badly defeated 32-14. The next night we met Watertown on our own court and lost a bitterly fought contest 17-9. The trip down-state was made the next week. Watertown won again 19-13 but the next night we made up by defeating Sackettls Harbor on their own court 16-12. The next week the strong S. L. U. Frosh played here. We had little chance against the collegians losing 29-13. Both games of the series with Moira were lost. The first, played in Massena, was a slow game, Moira won 21-16. The next week in Moira the game was slightly better with Moira winning by a single point 16-15. The return game with St. Maryis Academy at Ogdensburg was won only after a bitter fight 19-18. To fill in the sched- ule a game was arranged with the Columbians, a semi-pro team. It was another single point defeat for the high school, the game ending 17-16. The big game of the season was played with Carthage on the home floor. The team played the best game of the season but lost in the final minute, 18-19. TATLER 1931 Basketball This closed a season of few wins and many defeats. Yet, from the standpoint of the players the season was a success considering the material Coach Walsh had to work with and the class of opponents played. The boys always gave their best and the team was a credit to the school. The season developed a number of players who are looking forward to a fast team next year as only four members of the squad will be lost by graduation.

This was the cross country team coached by Henry White whose skill and untiring efforts enabled this team to make good. The first meet was held at Saranac Lake on a course exceptionally hilly. Massena suffered two bad 'fbreaksu in this race as one runner lost the course and another lost his shoe, but with strong competition the team captured third place. The following week the team made a fine showing at North Lawrence, taking second place while their strong bid for first was only checked by Franklin Academy at the finish line. Two weeks later our boys responded to the shot in the sectional championship meet at Potsdam. Here we sprung a surprise by placing two runners on the sec- tional team chosen to represent the North Country at the state meet in Syracuse, while the team placed second. The following Saturday found the Massena team one of the many lining up at the tape in the Canton Aggie invitation meet. As this meet included teams from all sections of the North Country we were pleased to see our team take third place. The R. P. I. meet at Malone Nov. 8 closed the season. Our team did their best to win this last run but the others were equally determined and the final check up placed us in third place. Cross country is still at a disadvantage here since we have had only two spring tracks in which to develop our runners, but we feel that the record of 1931 team firmly estab- lishes this sport at M. H. S. THE LETTEBMEN Seward Hanmer, Captain Merril Gardner Robert Parsons - John Murray Rudolph Avery Henry White, Coach Fred Hall 50 TATLER1931 Track CEarly Picture of Squadl Inspired by the brilliant successes of its track team last spring, Massena High School is expecting to put forth another winning team in this sport this year. Although the 1930 graduation ended the high school days of several of last year's track stars, yet its toll was far smaller than that which it took in basketball and football and in addition we feel certain that we have on hand equally as good material to fill their places. At an early meeting of the lettermen, 'LJim Martin was elected captain. Until last spring, it had long been the ambition of Massena teams in various sports to defeat a Watertown team. Many a championship football team we have sent to that city only to be beaten by either a small or substantial score. Last year for the first time the tables were turned. When the Watertown track team met us in a duel meet on our home track last year, we sent them home defeated. Undoubtedly this breaking of our hoodoo opened the way for the second smashing defeat that Watertown suffered at our hands, this time in football on their own gridiron. Realizing this we sincerely hope that Watertown will again be a prey to our trackmen, and that the Bed and Blue will win many victories in this final sport of the year.

The members of the club have been divided into two teams of' seven each. On the first Tuesday of every month meetings are called at which rules are made and various instructions are given the members by Mr. Donnelly. The Charter together with National Rifle pins for the members were presented to the Club in assembly. OFFICERS President . . .... . . James Cay Vice-President . . . Jean LePage Secretary . . .

The first division of the intramural program was the B squad football team. They played the schedule of six games as follows: B squad 0-Pine Grove Stars 05 B Squad 18- Watertown Javees 6g B Squad 13-Pine Grove Stars 6, B Squad 0-St. Mary's Academy 0g B Squad 1-Helena High School 0, forfeit. During the basketball season the inter-home room basketball tourney was organized which was captured by room 315. The line up of the team was Joe Agresta, Albert Wolstenholme, Harold Kaner, and Edward McGuire. The girls inter-home-room tourney was won by Room 320 whose line-up Was: Sophie Ra- towski, Agnes Prairie, Wanda Novak, Helen Warren, Irene Serra, Catherine Rich- ardson and Miriam Lewis. Meanwhile the boxing tournament was being conducted. The contestants were divided into six weight divisions. The Paperweight championship was won by Henry Ledger, Flyweight, Harold Bobiang Lightweight, Roy Hessg Middleweight, Charles Mericang Welterweight, Herbert Prosper and Light-heavyweight, Stanley Cappiello. At the end of the basketball season a foul shooting contest was held under the direction of Francis Walsh, the basketball coach. The individual tourney championship Was won by Reginald Jarvis who scored 33 out of 50 shots. The home-room tournament was won by Room 301 team which made 28 out of a possible 50. The members of the champion team were Wilfred Cousineau, Steven Podgurski, Simon Eros, John Dywan, James Guay. On Saturday mornings during the winter Mr. Donnelly conducted a junior basketball league for players under seventeen years of age which was won by the Flying Italians whose line-up was Bruno Romeo, Victor Pellegrino, Frank Spada- fore, Phillip Mittiga, Dominick Spadafore, Samuel Bottosto and Mathew D'Arienzo. With spring came the handball tourney which was won by Harold Kaner. Mr. Donnelly presented the champion with a medal. John Medve, runner-up, was also awarded a medal. As this book goes to press there are a number of intra-contests to be completed. An inter-class track meet is on the schedule, a horse-shoe elimination tourney is assured, and if time permits, tennis, volley- ball and indoor baseball will be added to the list of intramural activities.

TATLER1931 A Boy Squad Leaders The new method of physical education which was introduced last year by Mr. Donnelly, physical director, proved so successful that it has been continued this year. By this method the gym classes are divided into four squads. Each under the supervision of a squad leader. In addition to calling the roll and keeping order during class these leaders help to arrange a schedule of exercises and games that suit the fellows. A. Toth I L. LeGrow G. McRae P. Trimboli S.

Elmer Manson: Do you let the boys kiss you? Celia McGuiggan: No, but you see I'm not very strong. Miss Kilmer: What. do they call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested? Howard DeShaw: A teacher. The tire alarm rang. Johnie Jukoski leaning out of the top of a three-story building, to see the fire engine, fell out. The engine passed over his prostrate body. Gee, I'm glad Iim a football player, he said as he rose and brushed the dust from his suit. Pop'7: If the earth travels around the sun what travels around the earth? Paul Sheets: Tramps! Miss Kilmer: Is it correct to say, HI rid a horse?,' '5Dick Countryman: Sure, I rid my horse of fleas. Miss Tompson: Now Bernard, what is a boycott? Bandy: Why, the brother to a davenport. Margaret McCann: Do you know what mutual attraction is? Les: What? Margaret: If you necked me that would be attraction and if I neck you also that would be mutual attraction. 55 llllllll COLLEGE LIFE THE NEXT EXPERIENCE Say 'ACollege Life to a man or woman, who has been fortunate enough to have enjoyed that experience, and watch the countenance light up with a smile of pleasure over the memory of some part of those happy days thus recalled. The experience of College Life adds unmeasur- able joy to human existence. There was a time when those who elected a business career had to forego college and substitute the sordid, drudging years of apprenticeship. That day has passed. Business courses have been introduced into college life. Now, even though prevented from taking the full four years of college, one still may enjoy at least half that much of college life While at the same time securing a complete college-grade training in BUSINESS AD- MINISTRATION. SEVENTY-SIX If Pays to Attend a Gow! years of successful experience in teaching business enables this college to present just the kind of instruction in, Principles of Business, Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Advertising, Salesmanship, Insurance, Real Estate, Business Law, Trafhc and Transportation, Factory Management, and Secretarial Science, to help ambitious young men and women arrive at responsible positions in a minimum of time and at a reasonable expense. Many high school graduates have become business executives, during the last seven years, by first taking a two-year course at this school.

S each new Staff undertakes the planning of a Year Book it is confronted with the same old problems which have per- plexed the workers of previous years. And yet, to each new Staff these planning and production problems are all new and ordinarily must be solved without the benefit of the ex- perience of those who have solved the same problems in the past. Much of this grief is avoided when the Staff works with The Du Bois Press. Out of our wealth of experience in building Year Books we have formulated certain well defined stand- ards of procedure for the guidance of each new Staff. To enjoy the full benefit of our Creative Service we rec- ommend a preliminary conference between the members of the Staff and the Manager of our Year Book Depart- ment. This preliminary conference should be arranged at as early a date as possible and does not incur any obligation ..... Our idea or planning department has created many out-standing and prize-winning Year Books ..... May we be of service to you? -.

The age we live in demands that we reduce inertia to a minimum, make every pound a useful pound, save handling costs, save freight, save the expenditure of non-productive energy everywhere-on every- thing. lt is this insistent demand that has brought the widespread call for Alcoa Aluminum and its light, strong alloys. Alcoa Aluminum is a versatile metal. lt is rolled into huge I-beams-channels-angles-and other struc- tural shapes, for the builders of railroad and street cars. lt is rolled into foil, thinner than paper, to cover and protect food, candy or cigarettes. Between these two extremes, it takes many different shapes, and forms. The maker of automobiles orders it cast into pistons to give his car quicker pick-up, and greater speed, while the paint manufacturer wants it hammered into tiny flakes for the pigment of his aluminum paint. The architect specifies it to decorate a skyscraper, the confectioner to wrap candy, the aviation engineer to reduce the weight of his airplane. As cable it carries electrical current over mountains and valleys. As a thin walled, collapsible tube it holds shaving cream or tooth paste. In the home it has been termed the shining metal of the kitchen. Yet the electrical appliance manufacturer uses it for vacuum cleaners, washing machines and a host of other appliances. Alcoa Aluminum is many things to many men. More power per pound of engine and more pay-load per pound of dead-weight is the constant aim of the transportation engineer. Alcoa Aluminum alloys are logically replacing heavier metals in all forms of transportation-are speeding up schedules, reducing power requirements, and increasing pay-loads. Alcoa Aluminum alloys meet the requirements of modern truck body construction. They have the strength of structural steel but only 1-3 the weight, cannot rust, are easy for the body builder to handle, hold paint coats well, and stand up under severe service conditions. 71 Conducting heat many times faster than iron or steel and with but one-third the weight of old-fashioned metals, aluminum has been found to be of distinct advantage in more than 75W of all makes of electrical appliances sold today. Aluminum Cable Steel Reinforced-high strength and light weight. Transmission line engineers value the greater versatility of high strength-its adequacy for a wider range of conditions, also lower costs resulting from light weight. These characteristics mean longer spans for the same weight, or less weight for the same spans. The strength of high grade steel is here logically combined with the reliable electrical properties of Alcoa Aluminum. Offering exceptional latitude in design and execution, resisting cor- rosion, eliminating the discoloration and streaking of adjoining sur- faces, blending and harmonizing with other structural and decorative materials, Alcoa Aluminum has swept into general favor as an archi- tectural metal. Architecturally it was first used 46 years ago as a cap on the Washington Monument. As a primer, aluminum paint offers the finest known protection against the most common cause of paint failure-the penetration of moisture. Buildings, machinery and equipment must be protected from air, sun, rain and snow, or rust and decay will eat heavily into profits. Aluminum paint gives the required protection and excellent reflectivity for dark corners. In addition to comfort and good appearance Chairs of Alcoa Alum- inum have several distinctive features: they are extremely light and therefore easily moved about, they are welded into one continuous piece of metal, no glued joints to dry out and squeak, no dowels, they offer substantial upkeep savings, they are fire-safe, they are permanent, they are offered in any finish, any upholstery. These are a few of the uses and applications of Alcoa Aluminum. There are many others, and if past performance allows of prediction, there will be many more in future years. In 1915 virgin aluminum production in the United States was 75 million lbs. 5 in 1930, 2.5o million lbs.
